The Zhangzhung people's feelings about the monkey Dajue are complicated, from the initial reverence to the later rejection and resentment, when so many Zhangzhung warriors surrounded me, they may think of me as the monkey Dajue, and their expressions suddenly changed, becoming more vigilant and afraid.

The men in black were all subdued by the Elephant Male, and the warband quickly calmed down, and all eyes were on me at this moment. In the face of so many people, I had to retreat, those Zhangxiong slowly forced to the door, and did not dare to move for the time being, this big room has a holy well, it is a forbidden place, no one can enter without the permission of Dajue.

Bandacsaddo was also looking at me, he didn't say a word, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking just from his expression. Then, he waved his hand slightly, signaling everyone who had forced the door to stand back.

The Zhangxiong people obeyed Bandatsada's orders unconditionally, and after Bandadatsado gave the order, everyone began to retreat, some on guard around the perimeter, and others cleaned up the messy battlefield.

I breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other through a crack in the door, and after a while, Bandacsaddo gently pushed the door open and walked three steps away from me.

"More than ten years ago, I once knew a person who came here from Datang." Bandacado's brow, which had been frowning, stretched, as if he was asking me, as if he was talking to himself: "That person, I don't know what is going on now." ”

"He's alive."

"But it's not very good."

"Maybe it's not good."

Bandacsaddo gently stretched out his hand and slowly took out a dzi from his neck. This half-moon dzi was left to Bandacsaddo when I left Dapeng Silver City last time, and his current actions undoubtedly prove that he has recognized me, and recognized me as the Tang man who had been here more than ten years ago.

Bandacsaddo didn't continue to ask, and I didn't explain, and we tacitly acknowledged each other. He dodged out and made a way. I walked out with him, and the elephants around me were still cleaning up the mess. More than 20 black-clothed men were all ambushed, and their bodies were quickly transported away.

"What is the origin of these men in black?" I looked at the corpses that were taken away, and I felt that all the people in black were dead, and I knew that sneaking into the heavily guarded Dapeng Silver City was a dead end, but they still came without hesitation.

"Tibetans." Bandacado led me out of here, and the two of them walked through half of the Dapeng Silver City to the place where he usually lived. This place used to be the residence of the monkey Dajue, and now it is the residence of Banda Chado. The dwelling was still so shabby, and Bandactata, like his father, had abandoned all material comforts.

After we sat down, Bandatcha made a little more brick tea. Maybe it was because I had a relationship more than ten years ago, and I talked to Bandaca about big events, so after he recognized me, he didn't talk in circles, and bluntly told me that the current situation is very bad.

I can guess this if Bandacado doesn't say it. Dapeng Silver City is the capital of Zhangxiong, and the holy well is a forbidden place, and now someone wants to forcibly rush into the holy well, which is enough to show that Zhangxiong's situation is precarious.

In the more than ten years that Bandaca has served as Dajue, he has tried his best to save the endgame. However, the general trend is irreversible, the decline of Zhangxiong and the rise of Tibet have become the trend of history and cannot be stopped. The territory that originally belonged to Zhangxiong continued to be encroached upon, and Zhangxiong's connection with other countries was completely severed, which was equivalent to complete isolation. Several large-scale wars in the past ten years have ended in the crushing defeat of Zhangxiong.

Now, the area controlled by Zhangxiong is getting smaller and smaller, but it may be that the Zhangxiong people know that these remaining areas are their last homeland, and once these places are also occupied, the Zhangxiong people will be homeless, so the war in recent years has been very cruel, and the Zhangxiong people have not retreated, and both sides have suffered heavy losses.

Bandatsa's multi-generational leader holds on to his last territory, and at the same time, he is constantly pondering the secrets of the world. It can be said that his grandfather, as well as his father, walked that path, but all failed. But Bandachata is not giving up, in the current situation, if you can't find out the real secrets of the world and give the Zhangxiong people a new home, then Zhangxiong will face a catastrophe.

Bandacsada has tried many methods, and has traveled to many places, and he doesn't know how many times he has read the content of the stone leaf book circulated in the family. He also imagined more than once why his grandfather and father failed and why.

As I drank my tea, an idea suddenly occurred to me for the first time.

The Great World, the legendary Great World, no matter how much evidence there is to prove that it actually exists, but so far, no one has ever found it. The cognition of this big event centered on the world almost all comes from some clues and information that have not been confirmed. I suddenly began to wonder if the world really existed.

"Do you believe everything recorded in your family's Book of Stone Leaves?" I asked Bandacado, "Have you ever thought that maybe, the world didn't exist in the first place?" ”

Bandacado didn't answer, just looked at me with a questioning look.

"Many ancient peoples have some legends similar to myths, the people in the legends, the things in the legends, they actually don't exist, but they are passed on by word of mouth, and after hundreds of years, thousands of years, people in later generations will believe it to be true." I explained, "I've heard a lot of legends like this. ”

Bandatsada was silent after listening to my words, and his brow tightened again, probably to analyze whether my words made sense. He was meditating, and I was meditating, in fact, I was just as nervous as Bandacsada. Because I can't accept that I have been running around for so long, almost paying the price of my life, in exchange for the result, the world is nothing more than a legend.

If that's the case, I think I'll probably have a crash.

"It must exist." Bandatcha thought for a while, stretched his brows, and said with the teacup, "I believe that it must be there." ”

The two of us seem to be encouraging each other, Banda Chado believes in the existence of the world, and Lu Fangding, my father, including Bao Weigong, Su Shiren, Zhao Sanyuan, these characters, they all believe. None of these people are simple-minded and reckless with well-developed limbs, and even, they are more meticulous and intelligent than most people, and they believe, and what reason do I have not to believe it?

"I believe it too." I raised my teacup and said to Bandachata, "The world must exist. ”

Bandacado gave a rare smile, but it quickly froze. It may be that he remembered the dilemma he was facing at the moment.

The Zhangxiong people are stubbornly defending the last territory, and the enemy may know that if they want to completely conquer Zhangxiong, they will have to pay a great price. So, Zhangxiong's enemies changed part of their strategy.

Moreover, the Banda family has been tirelessly pursuing the secrets of the world for so many years, and the news will inevitably leak. Part of the information about the world spread to the outside world, which caused concern among the enemy.

Zhangxiong's enemies are not simple, they have a lot of information, and there is some key information in it. Both Zhangxiong and Tubo originated in the plateau, and in a sense, they have many common cultural roots. The Tibetan people know that the sacred well of the Zhangxiong people is said to be the ancestral origin of Zhangxiong, and they also know that this sacred well is more complex and mysterious than they imagined.

"Look at this."

Bandacsada didn't know where to take out a black ball larger than an egg, the black ball was very hard, but with the tip of a knife, a little powder could be pried off. At first I didn't recognize what it was, but Bandatsa gave me some hints, and I realized that it was gunpowder.

Bandacsaddo tapped the black ball open, and I found that there were several small, almost transparent balls inside. The small round ball is like glass, like crystal, which can be seen with the naked eye, and there are rows of rotating talismans in the transparent ball.

These black balls were found on those men in black, and the talismans in these small transparent balls were equivalent to a mysterious blessing, and if the gunpowder balls burst open, the talismans would be completely activated.

"Them?" I paused for a moment and asked, "They want to seal the well?" ”

"Yes." Bandatsado nodded, and checked out the small transparent balls and sealed them in a box.

In the past two years, those men in black have often infiltrated Zhangxiong's territory to cause chaos, and this time it is even more excessive, they want to seal the holy well.

What does this mean? This shows that what Bandacsada has done is no longer a secret, and the Tibetans will do their best to obstruct him. For me and for Bandachatado, we are pressed for time. The Tibetans would not let Bandacsada find a way to make Zhangzhung strong again, and at the same time, they would cut off Bandadatsado's search for the world.

"Can you tell me about that holy well now?" I saw that the time was almost up, and Bandacsada and I were actually driven to a dead end, and there was nothing to hide and hide: "I want to know the details of that holy well." ”

Before Bandacsador could speak, there was a gentle knock on the door outside, and after receiving permission, an old man who looked very old walked into the room and whispered something in Bandacsada's ear in Zhangxiong.

I didn't understand what the old man was saying, but Bandacsadado's eyes seemed to change, and he slowly stood up and said to me, "Let's stop talking first, I'm going to see someone, he's going to die." ”
