This thangka is actually made of human skin?

Xiao Lingjiang has also heard that there is an old custom of using human skin to make thangkas in the land of Xifan, and legend has it that the process is extremely cruel, which is to open a small hole in the human heavenly spirit, pour mercury into it, separate the human skin from the flesh and bones, and then peel off the most complete piece from the back, thus drawing.

Human skin thangka is mostly obtained through two ways.

One is that a small number of eminent monks will follow the example of peeling the skin and copying the scriptures, painting highly symbolic Buddha images and Buddhist stories on their skins to express their devotion to the Buddha. After the death of these monks, the thangkas painted on their bodies became sacred relics, and the devotees stripped them off and worshipped them. This is the lineage of the enlightened monks.

The other is the prohibition of the wicked. In Bon, there is a method called "Killing Law" to punish the wicked, and in order to prevent the evil spirits from being punished, people will draw sacred thangkas on their backs to suppress evil spirits.

However, the human skin thangka taken from the girl in front of him is obviously not the above two......

Seeing that her brows were furrowing more and more, Danajian's voice became more and more leisurely: "The princess knows that if you want to make the most exquisite human skin thangka, then you must choose a pure girl who can't speak, and when she is alive, she will peel off all the skin on her back. ”

"The beautiful and fragile girl screamed silently like that, and her white body gradually left only red flesh and blood, like cattle and sheep on the chopping board......"

He stared at Xiao Lingjiang tightly, expecting her to scream and throw away the things in her hand, panicking.

However, to his disappointment, Xiao Lingjiang's hand steadily took the thangka scroll, and his tone was even a little frightening: "Have you heard an old sentence from Da Zhou?" ”

"Oh? What is the old saying? Danajian asked.

"Those who are happy to kill people cannot be determined by the world." She raised her eyes and glanced at Danajian lightly, "I want to hold the position of the national teacher, and I am highly respected and respected by the people of Xifan, and now I see the city lord of the bag doing this, I feel that this is really true......"

Her eyes were full of sarcasm, as if she was mocking him for only knowing how to kill, and then she fell to the point where she was almost unable to raise her head by the power of Buddhist Tantra.

When she is the Buddhist Tantra behind the Tuozhi, could it be that she is not stained with blood and pays attention to compassion?

It's just a princess who was thrown by Da Zhou to kiss!

How dare you do that!

Danajian, who originally wanted to use someone to intimidate her, suddenly became angry, and his forehead jumped twice, eager to step forward and strangle her to death, but he cared about her identity and relatives, and Pei You and Gongji were here, took a deep breath, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

"It's just a slave as humble as a mustard, and the princess was born noble, but she didn't think she was so attentive to these slaves."

Xiao Lingjiang gently brushed the thangka scroll, his movements were gentle as if he was appeasing the soul behind the scroll, and slowly spoke: "All things in heaven and earth are born together, and the city lord and I just happened to be born in a skin with some status. But in the eyes of Heavenly Dao, how can you and I be different from ants and mustards? ”

"One day, if the lord of the city loses his lofty status, I don't know if he still thinks like this......"

With that, she brushed her sleeves past him and walked out of the hall, Pei You glanced at Danajian coldly, and also walked up to follow.

Danajian's cheek muscles twitched slightly, but even though he didn't get a good deal with Xiao Lingjiang this time, he had to pinch his nose and order someone to arrange a place for him.

He turned around and looked at the backs of Xiao Lingjiang and the others, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

They are located in the high cold of Xifan, and the delicate flowers of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not live long here. However, this Princess Yong'an doesn't seem to be as delicate and cowardly as he thinks.

When the king of Xifan ordered Gongji to go to the Great Zhou to marry the princess, he did not specify which one he wanted. The distance between Zhou and Fan is very far away and the cold weather is inconvenient, and the news that Gongji intends to prevent the concubine's Na Nan clan from marrying Princess Yong'an has only reached him not long ago.

Princess Xiao Lingjiang of Yong'an...... What kind of character is it?

And what kind of changes will she bring to the court court in Xifan?

Dana pondered to himself, Xiao Lingjiang returned to the room, waved everyone away, and put the thangka in his hand on the table.

The unfolding thangka is unusually exquisite, but the thought that this scroll was made by such cruel means, and behind it is the life and blood and tears of an innocent girl, I can only feel terrified.

She pinched the trick with both hands, flipped her right palm and pointed at the thangka, and a blood-red fluorescence slowly floated on the thangka, and then condensed into a hazy human shape.

This is the soul of the girl.

Judging by its appearance, it should have been dead for many years, but it has been sealed in a thangka, and the spirit has not dispersed, but it is difficult to return to the reincarnation of heaven and earth.

With the movement of Xiao Lingjiang's hand, the vague and hazy human figure gradually became clear, showing the appearance of the girl before her death.

She died in a miserable state, and now the appearance of the soul in front of her is really terrifying.

Xiao Lingjiang frowned slightly, pinched the trick between his fingers, raised his sleeves and flicked it, the girl's exposed red flesh and blood healed quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and smooth and delicate skin was reborn on her body.

The girl's eyes widened in disbelief, and she looked at Xiao Lingjiang's eyes and couldn't help but slowly shed two lines of tears.

She opened her mouth to thank her silently, put her right hand on her chest, and bent down to bow deeply to Xiao Lingjiang.

"Go ahead...... Go and be reincarnated. Xiao Lingjiang sighed softly, with a flick of his sleeve, a flash of inspiration flashed on the girl's body, and then her figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared between heaven and earth.

The pain in this life is short, and I only hope that she can have peace in the next life.

The day of entering the city of Luo was quite unpleasant. Danajian invited him to a banquet in the evening, and Xiao Lingjiang had no intention of dealing with it perfunctorily, and lazily refused.

She didn't attend, and according to Pei You's temperament, she didn't want to go to the banquet.

As a result, only Gongji and several ceremonial envoys from the Great Zhou were present during the banquet.

Even though Danajian was dissatisfied, he could only say a few sarcastic words between words.

Gongji was happy to see him and Xiao Lingjiang confronting each other, and said with a smile: "The princess and the prince are from Zhoudi, and it is inevitable that they will be uncomfortable with the water and land in our western region, and they are tired from traveling for days, so they have to have a good rest." ”

"We know that the city lord is warm, but since the princess and the prince are tired, we can't help but let them rest, right?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Danajian with a smile in his eyes and said: "The king has not entered the palace for a long time, and this marriage with Da Zhou can not only promote the good of the two countries, but also add a beautiful woman to the king. The best of both worlds? Come, come, the lord of the city should have a drink with me......"

"It's a good thing." Danajian followed him and raised his glass, looked up and drank the wine in the glass, and the murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
