Chapter 269: Sacrifice to the Heavens
Li Tiantu found an inaccessible corner and sat down, looked at Linghu who had not yet sat down on the opposite side, and said innocently: "Innocent, this time I fortunately changed my mind temporarily and came here, why did I suddenly smell a smell of conspiracy." Daluo Palace really just because the treasure of the town palace, the Colorful Treasure Pagoda, is to carry out such a nation-shaking sacrifice to the sky, it seems unnecessary. ”
"Colorful Treasure Pagoda?" Linghu innocently whispered twice, frowned, and said, "Landlord, I heard Du Lao say some secrets about the Colorful Zhenlong Pagoda. ”
"That Old Du who guards the Treasure Pavilion of the Drizzle Building?" Li Tiantu's eyes widened.
"Not bad. I heard Du Lao say that before the Daluo Palace, a smaller branch of the Tibetan Tantra had produced a self-cultivated Buddha body. It is precisely because of the intervention of this Buddha's body that the Tubo Empire has completed its unification, and the Colorful Zhenlong Pagoda is what the Buddha left before he went into hiding. ”
Li Tiantu grinned, and couldn't help but clench his right hand into a fist and slam it on the table. This move caused the shopkeeper not far away to look up and watch intently for a long time, and only after making sure that there was no obvious damage to the desktop did he leave with confidence.
Linghu is innocent and a little unclear, but he doesn't take the initiative to ask, he is always a person who cherishes words like gold.
At this time, Li Tiantu's mood was complicated.
When Tianxuandu was forced to cut off his Anxi Dadu under pressure from all sides, although Li Tiantu looked indifferent on the surface, he still had complaints in his heart. After all, he once left his own safety for the country and the people to seek a chance to save tens of thousands of innocent people in a city, but in exchange for the dissatisfaction of hundreds of officials in the court and the scolding of the people in the world, how could he ignore it indifferently.
But now, Li Tiantu suddenly felt that maybe the words of "losing power and humiliating the country" in the mouths of the people were not wronged to him.
Two years ago, he personally rescued the famous Tubo general Lingyou in the Kunlun Temple, which directly caused the defeat of the Celestial Empire, if it were not for this, Tubo only relied on an old Vanaluo, even if there was a military advantage, the famous general Xue Rang of the Celestial Dynasty would never fight back, and it was undeniable that the existence of a peerless famous general could indeed influence the situation of the war.
And now, will he easily give away the Colorful Zhenlong Pagoda and achieve a Buddha's golden body for Tubo?
King Agali Ming's terrible, he deeply understands that Zhang Mingyang, the master of the Louguan Sect who is still above Wang Huaji, is only a half-moon in Bayan Mountain when he is born again.
After thinking about it, Li Tiantu suddenly realized that once King Agali Ming achieved the true body of the Buddha, Daluo Palace would announce to the world that the Colorful Zhenlong Pagoda was given to him by Li Tiantu, even if Tianxuan favored him again, the Celestial Empire would no longer have a place for him.
Li Tiantu sighed innocently at Linghu with a calm face, lowered his voice and said with a look of regret: "Didn't you say it earlier, that Zhenlong Pagoda was still given to the two old monks of Daluo Palace from my hands!" ”
Linghu Innocent, who was drinking tea, finally couldn't keep his composure, and tilted his head and squirted out a small half of the tea in his mouth.
Looking at the landlord who was obviously able to dodge but still didn't move, "Sky Fox" couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, he reacted, and didn't spit out the tea directly on the face of the landlord who was close at hand, and suddenly changed color: "Landlord, if there is nothing important, let's leave as soon as possible." ”
"Did you think of that possibility?" Li Tiantu muttered to himself.
If he hadn't arrived in the capital of Tibet at this time, he might have listened to Linghu's innocent advice and left immediately, but since he came, he never flinched in the face of King Agali Ming two years ago, and there is no reason to retreat when he grows up today, not to mention how easy is the true body of the Buddha so easy to achieve?
In fact, deep in his heart, the real purpose of urging him to come to Tibet was to subconsciously want to eliminate the crisis in Xizhou City after the peace talks failed.
Li Tiantu directly ignored Ling Hu's innocent proposal, and directly opened two rooms in the restaurant after finishing the meal.
There were still three days left before the Tibetan Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and he wanted to break through to the Heavenly Dao Seven Heavens Realm again within this limited time.
Outside the east gate of Luoqi City, close to the west foot of Bayan Mountain, there is the Yuzhu Temple specially built by the Tubo royal family for the Daluo Palace, for the good men and women of the entire Tubo Dynasty to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
There is an open space of 100 zhang square in front of Yuzhu Temple, where the past worship activities were carried out.
Today is the day of the Tibetan sacrifice to the sky.
This ritual of worshiping the heavens, presided over by the Daluo Palace and attended by the Tubo royal family and the patriarchs of various ethnic groups, is of great significance to the entire Tubo Dynasty.
Almost half of the people of Luoqi City poured out, and the periphery of the venue near the east gate was crowded for a while, chaotic and lively.
Such an atmosphere is naturally a good thing for Li Tiantu, who is bent on fishing in troubled waters, and he and Linghu are innocent in the crowd at this time.
A horn sounded suddenly, and the magnificent march of the king of Tubo appeared in the southeast direction, and the Tubo people who were watching the excitement on the periphery did not wait for the guards to open the way, and took the initiative to give way to a spacious avenue.
The crowd kept shouting, "Long live Your Majesty!" The high voice is not heard. Obviously, although Ashina, who reigned for two years, was young, he promulgated many administrative measures that benefited the country and the people, and was deeply loved by the Tibetan people.
Ashina's immature little face was flushed with excitement, and he stood on the carriage and kept waving to the people under his rule.
At the same time, a group of Tibetan monks led by Nadero, the palace master of Daluo Palace, entered in a formation with their palms together.
The procession of monks stood in the center of the square, and at the very end, the four little monks in red who had not reached the weak crown carried the incense case enshrined in the colorful treasure pagoda and continued to walk slowly towards the altar in the center of the square.
The Tibetan king Ashina went to the altar under the guard of a group of civil ministers, military generals and patriarchs of various ethnic groups.
Nadro greeted him with Nyingma Ningji, clasped his palms together and saluted, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the hour is coming soon." ”
Ashina turned his head to look at the colorful treasure pagoda in the center of the altar, under the reflection of the scorching sun, the tower body emitted a colorful glazed light, just like the colorful Buddha behind the Buddha of the Western Heavens. The little boy's eyes flickered, and he suddenly took two steps forward and crossed Nadro, bowed to Nyingma Ningji, and said reverently: "On behalf of our people, Ashina worships the Living Buddha Nyingma and Master Ningyi for finding the national treasure. ”
Nyingma smiled slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "The little monk believes that the Tubo Dynasty will be more prosperous under the rule of His Majesty. ”
Linghu in the crowd innocently looked at the three senior monks in the front of the Daluo Palace, and glanced at the depths of the hall, there was an existence in it that made him palpitate even more, pulled the sleeve of Li Tiantu next to him, and said in a low voice: "The landlord, you have traveled thousands of miles to the capital of Tubo, and you are not going to watch a sacrifice ceremony of the Tubo people just like this." ”
