Chapter 639: No Coincidence Makes a Book

Fang Hong was a little surprised, and raised his eyes to look at this lama and monk, and Danba didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and looked at him like this. In the eyes of the other party, there is no falsehood, only as clear as a lake.

Therefore, Fang Hong believed him.

In fact, many people in the Ming Dynasty did not know much about Tibetan Buddhism. The lamas of Wusizang are different from the monks in the Ming Dynasty, the monks of the Ming Dynasty only recite the scriptures and say the Dharma, and they will not pay attention to mundane things, and naturally there will be believers who will worship them. Many of the great temples had many fields under their names, and there were many tenants, almost like the landlords and squires.

This is not the case with the lamas in Uszang, where the status of the lamas is very high, almost equivalent to ****, and some high-status turgurs can determine the rise and fall of the regime. The Tibetans revere lamas, not only because they believe in the Buddha, but more importantly, because they have mastered the knowledge and culture and have a great influence on the local people.

Moreover, among lamas, there are also hierarchies. The lamas of the first class specialize in studying the scriptures and solving the doubts of the people. The second-class lamas go to learn the knowledge of herbal medicine and can treat people and animals. The lamas of the third rank have to learn how to herd.

And these are just some broad divisions, not absolutes, and many first-class lamas also go on to learn the rest of the chores. Basically, the more you know, the more you have a wealth of knowledge, and the higher your status among the sect and the people.

Danba's dream is to be able to become a tugu, of course, if he becomes a tugu, he will be the first tugu of his lineage, not inherited from his master. In order to fulfill this dream, he learned a lot. This method of refining mercury is not difficult, he still understands it.

......

"Master, it's so big here. After entering the Lin Mansion, the two little lamas, Basang and Pubu, stared with wide eyes and watched everywhere. They used to be the children of poor families, and after following Danba, they were even more displaced, where had they ever seen such a magnificent mansion.

"Butler, buy a table of vegetarian dishes for the master, and the amount should be large. Fang Hong commanded the housekeeper, who immediately nodded and hurriedly ran to prepare.

Danba's mouth opened, as if he wanted to say something, but when it came to his mouth, he stopped again. Tibetan Buddhism allows you to eat the three purifications, the so-called three purities, that is, not to kill, not to teach others to kill, not to kill for yourself. If he asks for meat, it is teaching him to kill, which is against the teachings. So, he thought about it or didn't say anything.

The butler quickly set up a large table of vegetarian dishes. Cabbage, tofu, radish, and Yumai, which only appeared last year, filled a large table. The most are still big steamed buns, a whole basket, all hot and fragrant.

Basang and Pubu didn't care if there was meat or not, they just cheered, and then pounced on it and munched on it. Although this table was full of vegetarian dishes, it was much better than the days when they couldn't even fill their stomachs before.

Danba's stomach screamed a few times, and he had been hungry for a long time. Immediately, he didn't care about any image, he also picked up the steamed bun, and swallowed it with the steamed bread and vegetables.

This group of people has been hungry for a long time, and they have been eating in a hurry, and the tofu and vegetables are all stuffed into their mouths with all their strength, and they haven't swallowed yet, and then they take two bites of big steamed buns. If you choke, take a sip of turnip soup. A few people on the side couldn't help but swallow a few saliva when they saw that they were eating so deliciously.

"Uh......" It took about half an hour for the men to stop. Danba was fine, but Basang and Pubu didn't have any image at all, and they were reclining on the chairs one by one, touching their stomachs, and humming and chirping.

"Thank you Young Master Lin for your hospitality, the little monk will go to work in a while. Danba gave Fang Hong a salute and said very politely. He promised to refine mercury for Fang Hong in exchange for food. Now that your stomach is full, you have to go to work.

"Don't call me Young Master Lin, I don't have my surname Lin, my surname is Fang, you can call me Hong. Fang Hong smiled, this monk obviously misunderstood, he saw that he was the young master of the Lin Mansion, and he thought that he was also surnamed Lin.

Fang ...... Fang Hong?" Danba's eyes widened, his eyes showed a hint of shock, and at the same time, he also looked Fang Hong up and down, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Your name is Fang Hong too, what a coincidence......" He looked at it while still muttering to himself, looking a little dazed.

"Have you ever met someone with the same name and surname as me?" Seeing Danba's appearance, Fang Hong couldn't help but be a little curious, even if someone had the same name as himself, he wouldn't be so surprised.

"Have you ever seen this?" Danba looked at Fang Hong with some hope, although he knew that it might be small, but he still had some hope.

He carefully took out a pearl from his bosom, which was the size of a pigeon's egg, and the whole body was white and translucent, and it looked extraordinary.

This pearl was given to him by the Tatar emperor, who told him that after arriving in Changning, he would take this pearl to find a person from Fang Hong.

"Do you know Bodi?" Fang Hong raised his eyebrows and took the bead. He had told Bodie that if he encountered a life-and-death crisis, he could crush this pearl, and he would be able to sense it.

"You are really that Fang Hong, so good, really good. Danba's eyes immediately showed joy, he was only with a glimmer of hope, but he didn't expect it to be that person.

"Arak Khan is now in danger, and the Mongol nobles have all fallen to Balsujinon and forced the palace of the Great Khan. Today, the Great Khan has been forced to abdicate and is under house arrest. Danba quickly recounted Bodi's situation. Bodi's condition is really not good, a big sweat under house arrest will definitely make Balsu like a fish in his throat, maybe it won't be long before something suddenly dies.

At the beginning, Balsu took more than 40,000 people from the territory of Daming to Chili Jiangli. He hid there for several months, waiting until the death of Dayan Khan before returning to Tatar.

You must know that Barsu originally had a deep prestige among the Mongol tribes, and with his 40,000 elite soldiers, as soon as he returned to Tatar, he was immediately supported by many Mongolian nobles.

And Bodie was only a teenager, fledgling, where was his opponent, and after barely holding out for more than a year, he was finally forced to abdicate and give up the throne to Balsu.

He didn't have a chance to escape, so he couldn't go to Fang Hong for help. Fortunately, at this time, Danba and his party came to Tartary to preach, and he took the opportunity to give the pearl to Danba and asked Danba to find someone for him.

Before Danba could gain a firm foothold, he was expelled from Tatar because of religious struggles, and he came to Taiyuan by luck.
