Chapter 636: The Downcast Lama

"Master Lin, don't you think about it anymore? The little young master is the third ancestor of my Gongtang Temple, because he is the second ancestor of my division, Hubilhan, and he can't be left behind. Danba was a little reluctant to give up, so he persuaded and said.

In the Us-Tibetan language, Tulku means the Holy One. In the books of the Han people, it is mostly translated as living Buddha. And Hubilhan, which means reincarnation after death, is also called the reincarnation of the spirit child. This is the case with the Buddhist lineage of Uszang, after the death of Tulku, an ordinary newborn born is needed as his reincarnation.

"What kind of ancestors, our ugly baby won't go to Tartary with you. Lin Jingyuan was about to speak again, but Fang Hong's grandmother couldn't see it. This monk didn't know the reason, and his own child's 100-day banquet dared to come over and make trouble.

Danba still had to persuade him again, but the housekeeper directly called out to the two housekeepers, clamped him one left and one right, and pushed him out of the door. Many things are not easy for the owner to do, so he has to have a little eyesight.

After the lama was driven out, the room was again lively, and what had just happened was only a small episode to everyone, and perhaps in a few days it would become a little joke in the gossip of the families, nothing more.

Danba was pushed out of the Lin family, and he looked at the locked door of the Lin family, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Luckily, I got some food this time, otherwise I would have gone hungry. ”

He took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and when he opened it, there were two large steamed buns and some pastries. This is the food he melted when he first entered the Lin Mansion, and he put it in his arms early.

He carried the oil-paper bag and walked into a small alley, and two thin figures came out of it. These two people are about eleven or twelve years old, they are teenagers, a little too young, they are children, and they are a little older, just at a more awkward age.

These two people look very thin, and the lama clothes they are wearing are relatively wide, which makes people look very twisted.

"Basang, Pubu, what do you see I brought you?" Danba opened the oiled paper bag, and the fragrance of big steamed buns swished out, and the saliva of the two immediately couldn't stop.

"Coo-goo. The stomachs of these two people couldn't help but scream, and they looked at the two big steamed buns. "Hurry up and eat, one for each person. Danba handed the steamed bun to the two and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master. The two hurriedly performed the Buddha salute, then took the big steamed bun and devoured it. Danba shook his head slightly, then sat cross-legged to the side, his eyelids slightly closed, and recited the scripture softly.

Basang and Pubu are not Wusi Tibetans, but local Han children in the Ming Dynasty. Last year, there was a famine in various places, and many people died, and Danba saw that the two were pitiful, so he took them as disciples.

They went to Tatar first, preparing to build temples in Tatar. However, there has been a great civil strife in Tatar recently, and the major nobles have come forward to depose the emperor, coupled with the struggle between the Red and Yellow Religions, they have no choice but to flee from Tatar again.

His master, the second Tugu of Gongtang Temple, was reincarnated before he arrived in Taiyuan because of hunger and cold on the road. As a last resort, Danba had to lead two little apprentices to make a living by turning his fortune in Taiyuan City.

In fact, Tibetan Buddhism is allowed to eat meat, even if you hold the precepts, you can also eat three pure meat or five pure meat, but when they turn into a relationship, the people of the Ming Dynasty only give them steamed buns and vegetarian dishes, even if it is a large family. After all, in the hearts of the Han people, monks should all be vegetarians.

Sometimes, Danba also wants to make some meat, but every time he says this, he will definitely be kicked out, and he will have to be scolded as a wild monk. After a long time, he also learned to be obedient, he ate whatever people gave him, and he didn't dare to ask for meat.

"Master, do we really have to go to Jiangxi? I've heard people say that Jiangxi seems to be so far away. After eating a whole steamed bun, Basang sat down next to Danba and said weakly.

"Of course, I promised Your Majesty that I must go to Jiangxi, Changning County, Jiangxi. Danba nodded very seriously, now that there is civil strife in Tatar, the emperor is under house arrest, when he was preaching in Tatar, the emperor told him that he must go to Changning, Jiangxi, and find a person named Fang Hong, so as to save his life.

"But...... Master, we don't have any money, and now it's so cold, we have to freeze to death if we can't get out of Shanxi. Bassan was a little discouraged. Originally, the emperor gave them a lot of money, but they were robbed by bandits on the road, and they could only live by fate.

“...... If you don't freeze to death, you have to starve to death. Pubu just finished eating the steamed bun, licked his fingers, and interjected a sentence on the side coldly.

"It's okay...... I'll go back and ask in a little bit to see if any rich family has a newborn, and if we recognize it as the third tulku, we'll be rich. Danba touched Pubu's head, a smile appeared on his face, and encouraged the two of them.

But in fact, he has no bottom in his heart. Buddhism in Tibet has little foundation in the Ming Dynasty, the Han people don't believe much, and they don't even have a temple, so how can people give their children to him?

......

"Young master, this mercury is really not available, the people of Taipingguan said that the little mercury they refined was all bought by you. "It's been a few days since the ugly baby's day feast, and Fang Hong has asked people to buy medicinal herbs and lead, mercury, gold and jade as usual. But after the man went out for a while, he came back with some embarrassment and said.

It's actually not difficult to refine this mercury, but there are not many places where everyone uses it on weekdays, even if the Taiping Temple is a Taoist temple, it can't use so much. Fang Hong needs a lot of mercury every day, and the Taiping Temple is unsustainable.

"So that's the case, then you go and ask the people of Taipingguan, I will add some money, can you let them practice a little more. If it doesn't work, let them sell me the method of refining mercury. Fang Hong thought for a moment and said to the man.

“...... Young master, it's not a small one, the cost is already very high every day, if you increase the price, the small one will feel sorry for you. Besides, those Taoists shouted that there was no mercury this time, and they didn't want to raise the price, you gave more money, then next time they can ask for a price increase, and no amount of money can prepare such a trick. This person persuaded and said, he has worked in the Lin family for many years, and the Lin family has never treated him badly, so he naturally has to think about the Lin family.

This person spoke in a clear manner, which made Fang Hong feel a little strange. However, when he thought about it, this was indeed the reason. Although he didn't care about money, he didn't want to be cheated for nothing.
