Lobsang told Kampot and the villagers who were chasing the beasts what he was thinking, and everyone applauded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was already dark at night, and the implementation plan had to wait until dawn to implement the plan.

Back in the village, Lausanne told Kampot and Kuroko about the day's discoveries, thinking that they had arrived at Nimadeva, and the Snow Country Floating Slaughter City was behind the snow-capped mountains of the village, and several people were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

The next day, when the sun was rising, Lausanne and the others went with the villagers to set traps to catch the beasts.

After arranging the trap, when I returned to Uncle Sanchi's house, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Jinram and Yayi had also prepared lunch for Sanchiaja[note (1)], and after eating together, Lausanne was interested in inquiring about Futu City.

Lausanne handed Uncle Sanchi a cigarette and said, "Ake, can you tell us about the city? ”

Uncle Sanji, who had never seen a cigarette, said, "Oh, little Tashi [note (2)], what are you giving me?"

Lausanne had seen Uncle Sanchi smoking, but he smoked yellow cigarettes[note (3)] in a cigarette holder made of horns, and lit it. When Lausanne thought of this section, he realized that Uncle Sanji had never seen a paper cigarette. Then he said: "Sanji Ak, I see that you also smoke, you taste this, this is also a cigarette, come, I will light it for you." ”

Lausanne was about to help Sanchi light a cigarette, and Kampot on the side had already lit it for Sanchi with a lighter. Sanji took a puff and said, "Oh, this one isn't as enjoyable as the yellow cigarette I smoked, it's too soft, but it tastes good." ”

As early as the opening of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, Nimadeva planted tobacco seeds sold from Yunnan here, and now the villagers here smoke cigarettes, all of which are homegrown.

Lausanne thought to himself, the low terrain in front of Nimadeva and the high back in the back, coupled with the huge mountain peaks around it, especially the three huge snow-capped mountains at the back, blocked the strong cold wind and cold air on the plateau, and the mountain basin where Nimadeva is located has a very warm climate, which is also suitable for growing tobacco leaves.

With a smiling face, he said to Uncle Sanchi: "Ake, if you like it, we have more here, leave more for you, you smoke slowly." As he spoke, he gave Kuroko a look.

Kuroko understood, ran to dig out a hard Chinese from his backpack, took it out, and gave it to Uncle Sanji.

Uncle Sanji was flattered and said, "Oh, how embarrassing this is, you guys take it yourself." ”

Kampot said: "I said Ake, you can be polite to a few of us, you saved our lives, what is this cigarette, you can smoke it, I will bring you a few more good cigarettes from Lhasa." ”

Lhasa to this secluded deep in the snow-capped mountains Nimadeva has no traffic at all, let alone traffic, it is estimated that few people in the world know such a remote place. Kampot thought about what he said a little frustrated, and hurriedly said: "Oh, I forgot, there is no transportation from Lhasa here, so I can't bring it." ”

Uncle Sanji said happily: "What else to bring, I am very happy with your heart." It's supposed to be expensive, right? Or do you smoke it yourself, I'm used to home-grown cigarettes. ”

Lausanne picked up a bowl of butter tea, took a sip, and said, "Ake, you can smoke it." There is no traffic here, and our archaeological team didn't carry much when they came, so don't be surprised, we really don't want to go to your old man's house for so many days, and we are a little careful. ”

Sanji was obviously very happy, and said: "Oh, what are you polite, come to Ake's house, just like your own home, our village, there will not be an outsider in a hundred years, you can come, it can be regarded as our fate." ”

At that moment, Sanji happily accepted the cigarette and said a few polite words to each other, and then told Lausanne and the others about Futu City.

This Futu City is indeed the capital of the ancient Snow Country, built in the depths of the Snow Mountain, and outsiders don't know that there is such a country as the Snow Country in history, let alone know about the Futu City.

The reason why it is called Snow Country is because the Langdarma extermination movement led to the flight of a large number of Buddhist believers, and a large part of them fled to the depths of the uninhabited snow-capped mountains to escape the Dharma.

The traffic here is blocked, it is difficult for outsiders to find out, and the difficult environment also makes it difficult for officers and soldiers to march and attack in large numbers even if they are discovered.

And precisely because it is in the depths of the snow-capped mountains, and the snow represents holiness, these Buddhists called themselves the snow country after the founding of the country, implying that Buddhism is holy Buddhism.

Motuo, which is only 300 miles away, is also named after the Buddhist law, and Motuo, translated into meaning, should mean the holy lotus land. Lobsang thought to himself that the name Motuo might also have been given to the Buddhists who had fled to the Brahmaputra in the first place.

And because it is a country established by Buddhists, the whole country believes in Buddhism, and the capital city takes the meaning of Buddhist Futu, and later it is called Futu City.

In the post-propagation period of Buddhism, Buddhism began to flourish in Tibet, and a large number of Buddhists moved out of the depths of the snow-capped mountains where the living environment was difficult, and went to various parts of Tibet to promote Buddhism.

Later, almost no one existed in the ancient snow country, and except for a few small villages such as Nimadeva, whose environment was suitable for human habitation, the mainstream cities became ghost towns and deserted. Even the rulers of the Snow Country, the Great Living Buddha and the monks, went out of the snow-capped mountains to promote Buddhism everywhere, and the Snow Country was immediately destroyed.

In a very small number of such villages, small temples are still retained, and the leadership of the villages is also controlled by the living Buddha in the temple, and the spirit children are hereditary for generations.

After the liberation, the people here didn't even know what dynasty was outside, until the past few years, when occasionally restless young people walked out of the mountains, only to know that it was already New China outside.

Life in Nimadeva is almost entirely self-sufficient, with very little use of RMB. In recent years, only a few young people have gone out in groups, using yaks to carry some special agricultural products in the village, and going out to exchange for some fresh goods from the outside world to improve their lives.

But this time, it can be as little as one or twenty days, and as much as one or two months, so there are not many people who are willing to go out.

Originally, there was a passage in Futu City, a tunnel dug by manpower at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, but it was destroyed by a large avalanche 800 years ago, and since then it has been cut off from all contact with the outside world.

Uncle Sanji said: "If you want to go to Futu City, you can only climb the Snow Mountain, climb the middle of these three snow mountains, and if you are lucky, you may find Futu City." ”

Yang Jinram asked, "Sanji Ak, what if you are unlucky?"

Sanji threw away the cigarette butt in his hand that had burned to the end of his cigarette and said, "If you're unlucky, you'll never find it." ”

Yangjin Ram continued: "Why?"

Sanchi replied, "Oh, you dolls, think about it, how many years have passed, and I don't know how thick the snow is, and I don't know if the avalanche has covered the ancient city. I'm afraid that even if you cross the Snow Peak, it is very likely that you will not be able to find the location of Futu City. ”

When the five of them heard Uncle Sanji say this, their original excitement was like pouring a basin of cold water. Yes, who can guarantee that the city is not covered by avalanches? even if it is not covered, the snow must have made it difficult for them to discern the location of the ancient city for more than 800 years.

What's more, they went to the ancient temple in the city to get the item they were looking for, but I was afraid that Futu City and the item they were looking for would have been buried in the car of history with the ice and snow of the years.

At this time, some villagers ran to Uncle Sanji's house and reported that the trap set by Lobsang had caught the fierce beast that was killing the villagers' cattle and sheep frantically, and asked everyone to go and see what kind of animal that beast was......
