Chapter 167: Local Cuisine
Back at the inn, it was still dark. The cabinet house, seeing that the night was still long, simply didn't go back to the guest room with me, and went directly to Mengzhao's residence to mess with her. Naturally, I didn't bother to care about him, so I walked around the night market in Dali casually, and returned to the inn where I stayed alone.
Lying on the bed, I recalled the grievances and hatreds between Luo Quan, Princess Ava and Qiao Lang, and sighed, but I couldn't help but sigh for it: It's a pity that Master Luo Quan is also a master who passed away, but in the end he ended up with such a soul disappearing.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of another master who also wants to change his life through his own efforts, and finally fulfills his wish - that is, Dr. Fan Li who I met in Taoyuan Village in Santuchuan.
Compared with the two, Fan Li, who was also impressed by the beauty, but finally reaped happiness, compared to Luo Quan, who hated because of love, Fan Dafu, who had to hold the beauty for a thousand years, really deserves the name of a real person.
Then I suddenly remembered Linda. Obviously, according to the evidence left in the recorder, she was also here. However, with Linda's ability, it is natural to use a little skill to break the obstacle, but why doesn't she get rid of the hidden danger?
Linda may be because she despises the detachment of all beings in her bones, and disdains to deal with these trivial matters.
Thinking so, I rubbed my overthought and stinging brain, turned out the ceiling light in the room, pulled the quilt, and stayed in the dark for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep before I knew it.
It wasn't until early the next morning, when I opened the door to discuss what to do with the chest of gold and silver jewelry I had found in the stone room, that I instinctively opened my eyes and sat up.
I learned from the cabinet that he had contacted a roommate from his graduate school in finance, who was currently doing asset appraisal in Hong Kong and was also doing research on antiquities. So the cabinet suggested that I could consider asking him to help us sell the gold and silver ornaments of the ancient kingdom of Nanzhao that were brought out of the collapsed stone chamber of the Jade Bureau Peak.
I don't think much of that. Anyway, the thing is also the sharp-eyed and lowly guy in the cabinet who took the sheep to "Shun" out.,Dick silk is like me.,It's good to get a little hard-earned money from it.,Where do you still have the heart to point fingers at him?
It's just that if I want to deal with it, I will naturally choose to be lazy and hand over the things to Jin Siniang to dispose of as soon as possible, without using too many brains. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask curiously: why did you go to such great lengths to get things to Hong Kong?
"Brother, you don't understand this, there are many foreigners in Hong Kong! The same thing, the domestic is just the processing price, but if you can directly contact the gringos who know the goods, how can the price of things be doubled......" The cabinet talked about money, and his eyes suddenly lit up, and I was really dizzy.
As for what he later quoted in a lazy manner, I don't seem to understand it, but I don't know it.
Halfway through this, I simply interrupted the spitting cabinet, and with a wave of my hand, I entrusted the task of selling the loot to the cabinet and Mengzhao, while I planned to hide in the inn happily, enjoy the customs, and taste the authentic local food.
The discussion stopped, and the cabinet and Mengzhao were about to say goodbye, but there was a steady knock on the door. I thought it was a cleaning aunt for customer service, but when I opened the door, the person outside the door turned out to be Sharon.
After letting her in, I learned from her that her visa was about to expire and she was going back to England soon, and she was probably here to say goodbye to me. After all, her sister's affairs were also figured out with the help of my strength.
After a few pleasantries, I didn't know whether it was stupid or lacking heart, and I couldn't think of anything to say for a while, so I just kept repeating polite words such as "pay attention to safety" and "be careful on the road".
Seeing that I was incoherent and my words flickered, Sharon's foreign girl simply opened her mouth and asked me bluntly: "I can stay in China for more than 20 days, and you won't keep me?" ”
As soon as the words came out, a spring breeze blew in from the window of the guest room, bringing in a burst of fragrance of plants and flowers, and at the same time, it also blew Sharon's short blond shoulder-length hair gently fluttering.
Suddenly, I suddenly felt that her face smiling at me overlapped with the charming and beautiful Ah Xia, and the deep and quiet Linda with eyes like water. Although I think about it carefully, they all have their own unique style, but when I look at it casually, they all seem to bring me a very similar feeling.
What exactly? I really don't know.
Seeing that I continued to be speechless in embarrassment, Mengzhao, who is also a woman, seemed to have seen something strange. So the anxious and sweaty Northeast girl was still willing to sit here and watch me in a daze, and turned the cabinet by an elbow, signaling that he actually said goodbye to us.
The cabinet is also a clever person, seeing that the atmosphere is not right, Mengzhao hinted on the side, so he naturally understood, so he immediately stood up quickly and said to me:
"Brother, leave the matter of monetizing things to me! I'll go to the provincial capital tomorrow to connect with my brother, and you'll wait here for me for a few days, and take Miss Sharon for a walk by the way!" Everyone is going back to China, so 'treat' her well! ”
This guy, when he said the word "reward", his eyebrows moved obscenely twice, which made me a little embarrassed. Luckily, Sharon didn't mind, and just smiled at me generously, which made me more and more embarrassed, so I had to change the subject and tell the cabinet not to be playful.
The cabinet was really fun, and while promising to pick up things and walk out of the door, he sighed casually: "Ah, in my life, if I can learn the skills of Master Luo Quan, I will be content, brother, why don't you come and be my master?" When you have time, you'll have to teach me well. ”
After finishing speaking, he took the door, smiled evilly and went to the provincial capital with Mengzhao. Ignoring me as embarrassed as a hot air balloon.
Wait a minute! What did this kid just say?
Unexpectedly, being inadvertently ridiculed by the guy in the cabinet, my brain circuit seemed to instantly follow Linda's train of thought: Who is Luo Quan's master? Could it be related to a mysterious organization?
Thinking of this, I only felt that my brain suddenly became excited, and I hurriedly took out my mobile phone, downloaded the recording left by Linda from the network disk, and pondered it, one of the related paragraphs, Linda seemed to mention that she planned to go into Tibet.
This is consistent with the experience of Luo Quan that I saw in Ava's Vipassana world. Since he has been practicing in Tibet for quite some time, it is very likely that his ability to turn rivers and seas is something he learned from a certain bigwig.
By the way, I remember that from the image of Princess Ava's ghost showing me her reunion with Luo Quan in the tantric temple, I can see that the walls of that temple are very special, not the golden and red walls that we usually see, but painted in black, white, and red, which impressed me quite deeply.
Hearing me say this, Sharon immediately consulted with her mother, who majored in Tibetan studies at university, via video call.
Flipping through the materials sent by her mother one after another, and sorting them out with the help of Sharon, I finally got a general understanding of the complex schools of Tibetan Buddhism.
Originally, there were four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism: the Nyingma school, the Kadam school, the Sakya school, and the Kagyu school, which were merged into the Gelug school.
Among them, the Nyingma sect is the oldest sect of Tibetan Buddhism. In Tibetan, "Nyingma" means "ancient" and "old", so this school mainly inherits and carries forward the old mantras translated and transmitted during the Tibetan period, so it is called "old"; Its legal system has a direct inheritance relationship with Buddhism in the Tubo period, and its historical origin is earlier than that of other sects, so it is called "ancient".
Because the monks of this sect only wear red monkhoods, it is also called the Red Sect.
The Kagyu sect, on the other hand, is the sect with the largest number of branches of Tibetan Buddhism. The word "Kagyu", which means "oral transmission" in Tibetan, refers to the mantra teachings taught orally by the gods and Buddhas themselves. Because the monks of this sect wear white monk's robes according to the Hindu tradition, it is called white religion.
As for the word "gelug" in the Gelug school, it is translated as good rules in Chinese, which refers to the school's advocacy that monks should strictly observe the precepts. And because the school believes that its teachings originate from Kadampa, it is called New Kadampa. Because this sect wears a yellow monk's hat, it is also called the Yellow Sect.
Finally, there is the Sakya sect, in which the word "Sakya" means "gray-white land" in Tibetan, and is said to be named after the grayish-white nature of the main temple of the sect, the Sakya Monastery.
At the same time, because the temple walls of this sect are often painted with red, white, and black strips symbolizing Manjushri, Guanyin, and Vajrapani, it is also known as the Flower Sect.
Seeing this, Sharon and I were finally overjoyed, it turned out that the place where Luo Quan practiced was a Sakya monastery. In this way, we can greatly reduce the scope and not have to aimlessly search for a needle in a haystack of monasteries in the vast expanse of Tibetan areas.
Realizing this, I quickly reviewed the images I had seen before, and the features around the solemn temple that could be used as symbols.
"That's right! I seem to remember that although it was a snowy weather at that time, more than a dozen continuous snow peaks could still be vaguely seen around the temple, and the temple itself, judging from the snow cover, should have been above the snow line for most of the year! ”
As long as I think of a clue, I will share it with Sharon as soon as possible, hoping that the two of them can work together to screen out the places that meet the requirements from the vast amount of information on the Internet.
"I think the place we are looking for should be here."
Taking Sharon's mobile phone, a sacred and solemn snow-capped mountain vista suddenly came into view, seeing the white snow and the perennial frozen peaks, I can recognize the name of the sacred mountain without looking at the description at the bottom of the picture.
The famous Meili Snow Mountain, a mountain of gods and ghosts that no one has ever conquered. It is mysterious because of its purity and pride; It is cruel because it has mercilessly devoured countless explorers who have fascinated it but have not been blessed with its supreme beauty.
Putting down Sharon's mobile phone, he immediately called the cabinet that had just arrived in the provincial capital in Daben, and explained to him a list of the next series of equipment we needed - after all, this wave of operations is not comparable to the previous adventure in Diancang Mountain, since we have to be active on the snow line most of the time, our equipment naturally needs to be upgraded objectively.
After assigning him the task, I looked out the window, and the afterglow of the setting sun had unceremoniously broken into the house, pulling Sharon's and me's tired figures into the room. In this situation, if you don't invite the foreign girl who is trying her best to help to have a full meal, it is estimated that it will not be justified.
"I saw a restaurant recommended on the Internet, and the local food tastes very authentic, why don't we go and have a good meal?" Tomb Hunter East White
