So a few people looked at the second thangka: it depicted some temples with seals on their doors, some of which were even destroyed, and the lower part showed many Buddha statues taken out of the temple, nailed and thrown into the river. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Kampot looked at the contents of these thangkas, pointed to a Buddha statue painted on the thangka, and said: "I said that this Langdarma is really the Bull Demon King, this good Buddha statue, just thrown into the river, you see, this Buddha statue, it must be gilded, if there is such a statue now, it must be very valuable, at least a few million." ”

Kampot is now as if Langdarma threw the millions that should have belonged to him into the river, and he longed to travel back in time and throw Langdarma into the river to relieve his anger.

Lobsang was also gloomy, looking at the difficulties encountered by Buddhism in Tibet, as well as the loss of many precious cultural relics, he didn't know what kind of mood he was in to watch it.

Kuroko, who had been in Sera Monastery for many years, may have heard the old lama give a lecture on the various calamities encountered when Buddhism was spreading in Tibet, so he said: "Is this thangka obviously trying to express the part of Langdarma stopping construction, closing the Buddhist monastery, and destroying the temple facilities?" ”

Langdarma's extermination of Buddha was the second movement to ban Buddhism in the history of Tibetan Buddhism, which was much more extensive than the first ban on Buddhism, and the retaliation against Buddhism was also more serious.

After Langdarma came to power, he first stopped the construction and closure of Buddhist temples and destroyed temple facilities, stopped the construction of Buddhist temples that had been started during the Trizu Detsen period, closed the temples of famous temples such as Samye Temple and Jokhang Temple, and used Xiaozhao Temple as a cattle pen, and all places of Buddhist activities were banned.

Many Buddha statues were taken out of the temple, nailed and thrown into the river, and the statue of Shakyamuni brought by Princess Wencheng of Jokhang Temple was said to have been thrown into the river as well, but it was buried again because it was not easy to move. And because Princess Wencheng transported the Buddha statue from the mainland, so that Tubo had Buddhism, so Princess Wencheng was said to be the reincarnation of the Rakshasa ghost.

Several people looked at the content of the third and fourth thangkas again, and it was also the scene of Langdarma destroying the Buddha, burning the Buddhist scriptures, and destroying the puja. In the fourth thangka, there are scenes of the capture and massacre of lamas and Buddhists.

Seeing this, Yang Jin Ram said: "It seems that Langdarma's destruction of Buddha was a serious blow to Buddhism. If you look at what happened to these monks, it must have been very difficult at that time. ”

At this time, Yayi pointed to the fifth thangka and said, "Sister Ram, look at this, the monks are about to be killed, and they are fleeing towards the snowy mountain. ”

A few people looked at it, and sure enough, the content of the painting was a scene of the chased lamas and ordinary Buddhist followers fleeing in groups to the depths of the snow-capped mountains. I think it should be that the Langdarma extermination movement has entered a high ~ tide, Buddhist monks and people have been highly suppressed, in a miserable situation, in Tibet can no longer continue to live, so they have to find another way, and then fled to the deserted snow-capped mountains.

Seeing this, Lausanne's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "I know how this snow country came about. I said that I had never heard of a country called Snow Country on the snowy plateau in the history books, so it was. ”

Yang Jin Ram looked into Lobsang eyes and said, "You mean, this snow country is said to have been established by these lamas and Buddhists who fled to the snowy mountains?"

Lausanne nodded and said, "Otherwise, what do you think, what is the name of this snow country recorded in the human skin thangka, and its capital?"

Kampot replied for Yang Jin Ram: "It's called Futu City, I know this, I said, can you say something valuable? This is clearly written in Yang Jin Ram's human skin thangka, Snow Country Futu City." ”

Lobsang said: "Well, it's the Snow Country Floating Slaughter City, the content of this thangka records that Langdarma's extermination campaign forced Buddhist monks and Buddhists to flee everywhere, and one of them fled to the depths of the deserted snow-capped mountains in order to escape Langdarma's persecution, and established their own small country, which is the Snow Country Floating Slaughter City that we are looking for now." ”

"Well, we have to find this Futu City and get the magic artifact that the Buddhist monks brought to the Futu City back then, so as to open the door to Shambhala Wonderland. Yangjin Ram reiterated the purpose of the trip.

Kuroko asked, "Then even if we now know that this so-called snow country was founded by Buddhist monks and Buddhists who fled back then, then we don't know its specific location, and there is no way to find it." You see, we only know that it is probably in the snow-capped mountains at the southern foot of the Himalayas, and after thousands of years of historical evolution, who can say exactly where it is?"

Yayi also said: "That's right, since I followed Brother Kampot, I feel that you are always wandering around the road aimlessly, although we know that the destination is this Futu City called Snow Country, but where is it? This is the most important question in front of us?"

There was a brief silence for a few people, and this was indeed the biggest problem encountered right now. If you can clearly know where this Snow Country Floating Slaughter City is, you won't be so difficult and aimless to search for on this dangerous road.

What made Lausanne even more discouraged was that even if he found the Snow Country Floating Slaughter City, it was still unknown whether he would be able to get the magic weapon recorded on the human skin thangka. Immediately, even if you can enter the Shambhala Wonderland by getting the magic weapon, it is unknown whether you can find the Shambhala Wonderland.

He raised his head, looked at these thangkas a little blankly, and said, "Why don't we take a closer look at the contents of these thangkas on these animal skins, since it records the arrival of the snow country, and perhaps also records its location." ”

As he spoke, he continued to look down. The sixth chapter of the thangka depicts three snow-capped peaks, between which the peaceful clouds and mist swirl in a peaceful scene. At the foot of the snowy peaks is a wide plain, where cattle and sheep dot the meadows, grazing leisurely. The sun rises from between the snowy peaks, reflecting the clean, snow-white snow and ice, refracting a rainbow that hangs between the clouds.

Further down, starting from the seventh thangka, the style of painting has changed abruptly, and the depiction of a man in a black Tibetan robe, leading a black horse, performing Tibetan opera in front of the Potala Palace.

The content on the Eighth Fu Thangka was chaotic, and Zampu, who looked like the Bull Demon King, maintained the posture of pulling arrows with both hands and fell to the ground. Seeing this, Lobsang said: "This is the scene of the assassination of Langdarma by the monks of Siji Dorjee, I don't know what is the purpose of painting it with the origin of this snow country floating slaughter city?"

Yang Jinlam asked, "Isn't it said that the auspicious Vajra assassinated Langdarma?

Lobsang explained to Yangjin Lhamo and the rest that in 842 A.D., a monk named Siji Dorjee assassinated him in Lajing (in present-day Lozha County, Tibet). There is a vivid description of this incident in the Tibetan historical books: The monk Siji Dorjee was practicing samadhi in a cave in a valley in the mountains, when suddenly a void mother appeared in front of him and said to him: "The Tibetan soil can show merit in Buddhism, and the king of Langdarma has tried to exterminate Buddhism by cruel means. "The empty line mother is hidden.
