Chapter 40: Hidden Treasure
When Siji Dorjee heard of Langdarma's crime of destroying the Buddha, he felt great compassion and secretly vowed: "If you don't kill this king, he will continue to commit sins and sin, and it will also increase the suffering of hell in the future. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Siji Dorjee found a white horse, painted it black with paint, and he himself put on a black coat with a white face, hid a bow and arrows, and rode to the Potala Palace, in the name of performing a wonderful Tibetan opera, approaching the king of Langdarma.
At this time, King Langdarma was in front of the palace, reading the text on the "Nephew Alliance Tablet", and the four auspicious Duoji danced and walked, bowed his head as a salute, and approached the king of Tibet. He bowed his head three times in total, the first time he put an arrow on the bow, the second time he opened his bow and was ready to fire, and the third time he bowed his head, he recited in his mouth: "The wind rings the earth, the earth rings the water, the water extinguishes the fire, the golden-winged black wins the water dragon, the diamond wears precious stones, the heavenly seed system asura, the Buddha beats the lion king, and I also kill the king of illegality as scheduled." ”
When he had finished speaking, he aimed an arrow at the king's breast, and King Langdarma screamed, drew his arrows with both hands, and fell to the ground and died. Siji Dorjee immediately put his coat on his back, took advantage of the confusion of the crowd, rode a horse and fled in a hurry, passing through a lake, he washed away the black color of the horse's body, and immediately turned into a man in white clothes and white horses, escaped the eyes of the pursuer, and reached a safe place.
After Lobsang finished speaking, he explained to the animal skin depicting Siji Dorjee assassinating Langdarma: "Because this monk named Siji Dorjee assassinated King Langdarma, Buddhism flourished in the later propagation period, and Buddhists honored him as auspicious Vajra." ”
The rest of the people listened to Lausanne's words and had a general idea of what these thangkas depicted. Yang Jinram listened with relish, nodded and said, "I see!"
Kuroko looked at the ninth thangka and said, "Then what does it mean that these people carry packages into the cave? You see, there are these, the paintings are digging a pit and burying the package, is it a buried treasure?"
Kampot also saw the content of this thangka, and when Kuroko said this, he thought that it was really a treasure, so he said: "I said that your kid still has a bright brain, and I think this is the Buddhist monks who were hunted down and killed at that time, and they didn't have time to take away the precious gold and silver treasures in the temple, so they hid in these holes, or dug a pit and buried them, and waited for the wind to pass, so that they could take it out." ”
Heizi said: "I see that these treasures have not been taken out yet, you see, according to the living Buddha who preached, after the assassination of the Buddha of Langdarma, Buddhism has not been revived, but because the king was assassinated by the lama, his cronies are even more angry with the Buddhist monks and believers, and the large-scale hunting of Buddhist monks and believers has been carried out, none of the monks in Tibet have survived, forcing them to flee to Han, India, and the country of Yangjin Ram, well, Nepal, and some even fled to the deep mountains and old forests, just like the painting on this thangka, there are also many people who fled to the depths of the snow-capped mountains. ”
Lobsang smiled and said, "You two don't talk nonsense, but what Kuroko said has some truth, after Langdarma was assassinated, it brought the doom of extinction to the discovery of Buddhist culture in Tibet." Moreover, after the death of Langdarma, due to the fierce struggle for the throne between his two sons, Yongdan, who was raised by the eldest princess, and Ousong, who was born to the little princess, the ministers were also divided into two factions, and since then the Tibetan royal family has been divided into two branches, and there have been disputes and wars for many years. ”
He paused, lit another cigarette, took a puff, and continued: "The generals of the Tubo Dynasty in various places also supported their own troops and began to dominate, crusading against each other, and fighting continuously. In the past, some tribes belonging to the Tibetan Dynasty also broke away from the jurisdiction of Tibet. This was followed by a great revolt of slaves and commoners that swept across Tibet, and the Tibetan Dynasty collapsed with the decline of Buddhism. As for the treasure that Kuroko and Kampot said, it is complete nonsense. ”
When Lausanne said this, he took another puff of cigarette, spit out a smoke ring, and was about to continue, but he was interrupted by Kampot and only heard Kampot say: "I said Lausanne, you can do it." Tell me what's wrong with Kuroko?"
Luosang naughtily blew a puff of smoke on Kampot's face, and Kampot was busy fanning away the smoke spit out by Kampot with his hand, ready to curse, when he saw Lausanne holding one hand on his chest, holding a cigarette between two fingers in one hand, looking at him and Kuroko's thangka that he mistakenly thought was a buried treasure, and said: "Kuroko is still a monk, and you are thinking about treasures with Kampot all day long, don't you know that there is a word called hidden?"
Kuroko was stunned by Lausanne's words, and smiled embarrassedly: "Hey, that...... Oh, it's my brain, I didn't think of this step for a while, this hidden, I know. ”
So Kuroko said again what he knew about hidden treasure: hidden treasure is when a certain scripture or incantation, magic weapon, Buddha statue, etc., in the event of a disaster can not be passed on, the monk or believer will write these scriptures and mantras written in the books and scrolls, or the Buddha statue of the Buddha in the cave, buried in the ground, so as not to be lost, and wait for future generations to find it, and then pass it on.
The hidden treasure is divided into book collection, holy relics and knowledge collection: book collection refers to scriptures and scrolls, holy relics and finger vessels, relics of eminent monks, etc. The most miraculous of these is the collection of scriptures, which is said to have been given by the gods in the depths of someone's consciousness, and when the conditions for retransmission are met, under some mysterious revelation, the person who has been given the collection of the scriptures (some even illiterate farmers and herdsmen) can recite or write them down.
Kuroko talked endlessly, swallowed his saliva and said: "This phenomenon is the mystery of hiding in hiding. In Tibetan areas, some illiterate children in their teens are sick or awake to rap millions of words of epics, a mysterious phenomenon that even science cannot explain. A few years ago, I was fortunate enough to hear an illiterate rap artist say "The Legend of King Gesar", which is a famous long-form heroic epic of our Tibetan people, with more than 100 of them, and he can say it word for word. ”
Several people looked at each other, and Lobsang said: "This thangka expresses the content of the great monk hiding after Langdarma was assassinated. ”
There are a total of nine thangkas, and after this one is hidden, there is no clue. Lausanne fell into deep thought for a while, thinking about the peaceful grass under the three snow peaks on the sixth animal skin thangka, and had a bold conjecture in his heart: "Could it be that at the foot of those three snow peaks is the place where the Snow Country Floating Slaughter City is located?" But there are so many snow peaks on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which are these three snow peaks?"
Luosang took a sharp breath of cigarette and said in his heart: "Could it be that we were wrong from the beginning, the Snow Country Futu City is not at the southern foot of the Himalayas at all? The three snow peaks in this thangka are very similar to the three major snow peaks in Daocheng, namely Xiannai Ri Peak, Yangwan Yong Peak and Xia Nuo Duoji Peak, could it be that this place is in the southern part of Ganzi Prefecture in Sichuan Province?"
