Hearing this, Lin Xia and I both looked suspicious.

Obviously, both of us were chatting with us yesterday, why don't they know that there is one less person today?

Seeing that we were full of anxiety, the young man talked to himself while serving us breakfast.

"By the way, you guys were talking weirdly last night, why do you have to look at the other side from time to time?"

"Are you sure you were the only one talking to us last night?"

Lin Xia couldn't help but ask.

The young man nodded inexplicably, and then suddenly looked at us with a solemn face.

"You ... Did you talk to anyone else yesterday? ”

I pulled Lin Xia to take a deep breath and replied slowly: "Opposite you, there is a man in a shirt and black pants, about the same age as you.

There is a birthmark on the right side of the face, and the skin is very dark... ”

Boom!

The bowl in the young man's hand fell heavily to the ground.

"You... What did you say? Are you sure you saw it?! ”

I squinted at him and asked in an unkind tone, "What's wrong?" Is there a problem? ”

The young man suddenly ran to the inner hall in a panic and said something to the people inside in Tibetan, and Lin Xia and I looked at each other and didn't know why.

"Could it be... There's a ghost, right? ”

Lin Xia suddenly nervously grabbed my sleeve and looked around in fear. I don't have that kind of thought, I don't know if there are ghosts, but maybe it's true that someone is making trouble.

After a while, the young man came out with a complicated expression, and looked at us and stopped.

"What the hell is going on? Can you tell us about it? ”

He pondered for a long time before he said, "You better leave!" If you stay any longer, you'll be taken away. ”

"If that's the case, then you should tell us what happened, otherwise we paid so much money and wouldn't it be a loss to leave like this?"

I said it in a false way, and Lin Xia seemed to see the clue, standing aside and observing him quietly.

"We'll give you all the money, and you'll get no less. Lives matter, and we don't want to involve you. Your wife is pregnant, so get out of here! ”

I looked at his fingers that were about to twist into twists, and raised my eyebrows and glanced at Lin Xia. Xiao Nizi changed her appearance of being afraid of ghosts just now, and said with an innocent face: "Don't worry, if it is a matter of human life, we can't leave." ”

"But!"

"You know what? Last night we saw the man surrounded by a crowd and then tied up and taken away. We wanted to chase it out, but it was quickly gone. ”

Lin Xia said that she was careful, and seeing that the other party's face turned white, she continued: "So we want to ask, is he kidnapped?" Or is there some misunderstanding in this? ”

The young man was a little exhausted by our question, and he could see that we were planning to get to the bottom of it.

He simply said, "Why do you need to wade into this troubled water? It was my brother who was taken away, but he was not taken away, he was taken away by the men of the gods and Buddhas.

He escaped from the Holy Palace without permission, and he would definitely be brought back. ”

I looked at him and asked, "But you just said that you were the only one who spoke to us yesterday, and no one else?" So how do you explain this? ”

He didn't panic as I expected, but hesitated for a long time, and finally had to say sadly: "My brother was sent to the Holy Palace two years ago, and he has been running away all this time.

Until half a year ago, he died. The people at the shrine said he had gone to serve the gods and Buddhas, but since then, our family has broken a bowl every night, sometimes outside the house, sometimes in the room.

We knew he always wanted to come back, but we couldn't. The gods and Buddhas want him to serve, but none of us can bring him back. ”

At this point, two lines of tears flowed from the lad's face, which shook my conspiracy theory a bit.

"So, you better leave! Every two years, the gods and Buddhas will select a person from here to send them to the holy palace, and there is no way to resist the chosen one, whether you are from here or not. ”

Before we came, we had done research in Tibetan areas, and we had not heard of the holy palace gods and Buddhas he mentioned, let alone the system of selecting people.

"Is this god and Buddha the god and Buddha in the Potala palace?"

The young man hurriedly shook his head and said, "How is it possible? That is the true temple in our hearts, where the gods and Buddhas do no harm to His people. ”

I think I may be planning to fight this matter to the end, at least Lin Xia has no intention of leaving.

"Can you tell us about it? We also come here to learn about the local folklore, and if you can help, it can also save you a trouble. ”

Lin Xia began her professional psychological counseling, and at first the young man was still very resistant, and looked inside the house from time to time.

After many persuasions from Lin Xia, the young man finally let down his guard and told the story of the incident.

The young man's name was Tashi Dorjee, and his deceased brother was called Tashi Phuntsok. Most of the Tibetan people do not have surnames, which also reflects the Buddha's concept of equality of all beings.

According to Dorjee, a few years ago there was a plague here, and given the geographical location and transportation problems in Tibetan areas, it is difficult for large-scale diseases to occur.

The plague infected many people, who were far away from the hospital in the city center, and died if they were not treated in time.

Just as everyone was praying for mercy from the gods and Buddhas, a Tibetan suddenly held a bowl of water from unknown sources and said that it could cure the plague.

When questioned by the crowd, he said that he saw a golden light on a mountain in the distance, and then he ran towards it. When I got closer, I saw a god and Buddha dressed in a white robe, and she gave him the bowl in her hand.

Then when he came back with the bowl, there was water in the bowl.

The infected person drank the water in the bowl, but he did not expect that his condition would improve after two days. After the bowl is drunk, it fills again the next day until everyone is healed.

In order to commemorate this god and Buddha, the people built a sacred palace on that mountain, and found someone to carve a person-high statue of the god and Buddha according to the image described by the man.

The Tibetans living in the surrounding area will often go to worship, and for a time the incense in the holy palace is still very prosperous.

Over time, there are also special monks in the holy palace to clean the holy palace for it, help people pray to the gods and Buddhas, and so on.

And the so-called ministry appeared four years ago.

Four years ago, a monk in the shrine who often talked to the gods and Buddhas said that they dreamed that the gods and Buddhas wanted Sangtangzhe from the West Village to come and serve him.

You must know that the people of the Holy Palace basically do not know about the outside world, and it is impossible to say the specific names and appearances of people.

But the monk was very detailed, and the people in the West Village confirmed that it was indeed there.

Then Santsenzhe was also hailed as the chosen one of the gods and Buddhas, and was invited into the holy palace.

Then no one had ever seen him until two years ago, when there was a dream among the monks of the Holy Palace that Tashi Phuntsok was going to serve the gods and Buddhas.

And it is rumored that every two years, the gods and Buddhas will choose one person from among the living beings to enter the holy palace to serve the gods and Buddhas.

But Tashi Phuntsok did not accept his fate like the previous one, and something happened to him.
