Chapter 231: Potala Palace

Qin Yinian followed behind me and whispered:

"The nano protective layer we used for those spiritual weapons in the Qinling Underground Palace is much better than this, as long as two hundred milliliters, this palace can be coated inside and out. And it's auto-smear," I laughed. "Hey, how can this compare to you!"

This is also my first visit to the Potala Palace, although the halls have been renovated, but after walking in, it still gives me a sense of antiquity and mystery. It even feels a little depressing! The main buildings of the Potala Palace are the White House and the Red Palace.

The so-called White House, named because of the white exterior walls, is the winter residence of the Dalai Lama and is 7 stories high. It is the largest hall of the Potala Palace and the White House, and it is the place where the Dalai Lama sits on the bed, the New Deal ceremony and other major religious activities. The 5th and 6th floors are the offices and living rooms of the regent. On the 7th floor of the highest place, there are two living palaces of the Dalai Lama in winter, which are also called the East and West Sunshine Palaces because the sun shines all day long.

The Red Palace, mainly the Dalai Lama's spiritual pagoda hall and various Buddhist halls: there are a total of 8 spiritual pagodas that store the Dharma body of the Dalai Lama, among which the fifth Dalai Lama's spiritual pagoda hall is the largest. As soon as I entered the Red Palace, an eerie coolness actually hit my whole body, and I couldn't help but feel excited, although all the places here are renovated, but it still gives me a sense of old vicissitudes, and the inner walls of the main hall are painted with murals. Above the throne of the Dalai Lama in the hall, the plaque of the imperial book of the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is hung "Yonglian Chudi". Under the guidance of Zhuoma, our group also visited the Fawang Cave, which is the earliest building of the Potala Palace in the Tibetan period, and contains extremely precious statues of Songtsen Gampo, Princess Wencheng, Princess Qizun and Lu Dongzan. This princess Wencheng, plump, wearing a half-sleeved shirt, short clothes and long skirts, sitting cross-legged, looks graceful and luxurious, demeanor, really a beauty, the statue of the second Songtsan Gampo, sitting cross-legged, revealing the small head of the immeasurable light Buddha on the top of the head, feeling weird.

"This Dharma King Cave is the oldest existing building in the Potala Palace, these statues are all in the Tubo period, more than 1,000 years ago!" Dolma introduced us as she walked.

Qin Cuihua saw me standing in front of the statue of Songtsan Gampo, and I didn't move for a long time, so I came over to join in the fun.

"Brother Qingyang, what's so nice about this person? Why do I look like Jigong! ”

I burst out laughing, and said that a generation of heroes on the snowy plateau was like Jigong, and I could say this thing, and I smiled and said to Mos: Aren't you omniscient? Then you don't know this Songtsen Gampo? This person was the founder of the Tibetan Dynasty. During his reign, he moved the capital to Lhasa, quelled the civil strife in Tibet, subjugated Yangtong, unified Tibet, and formally established the Tubo Kingdom ruled by slave owners. He vigorously developed agricultural and animal husbandry production, popularized irrigation, ordered people to formulate written texts, promulgated the "Great Decree" to govern Tibet, unified the system of weights and measures and taxation, promoted the comprehensive political, economic and cultural development of Tibet, and introduced Buddhism from the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu. In the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, he married Princess Wencheng, the daughter of the Tang clan, at Zhaling Lake in Qinghai. Tang named him the commander of the horse and the king of Xihai County. His Wen Taowu is no less than Li Shimin in the Central Plains! It's just strange that he died in his thirties!

Xiao Cuihua looked at the statue and said:

"Oh, it's so powerful, why did you die at such a young age? Brother Qingyang, something is wrong! ”

Looking at her serious appearance, I suddenly remembered the figurines I met in the cave of Longtou Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, and I suddenly became nervous, could it be that there are corpses in this statue?!

Qin Cuihua followed behind me and whispered to me:

There is something in this statue of Songtsen Gampo, and it should be a small box in shape

"Then you take a look at what's in the box" At this time, Qin Yinian, Nie Gu, and Ye Lingwen also heard Mosi's words, and they all surrounded them.

"It's strange that my rays can't penetrate the box and see what's inside! Wait, I'll try a different wavelength and increase the intensity! ”

As he spoke, Mos stood in front of the statue of Songtsen Gampo and stared intently, and after a moment he sighed and said to us:

"It's incredible, according to my X-ray intensity, 10 meters of stainless steel plate can penetrate it, but it can't penetrate that small box"

"How could a small box more than a thousand years ago, either copper or iron, or jade be impenetrable?"

Nie Gu muttered to himself on the side.

Hearing him say that, I thought it was incredible, and I couldn't wait to see what was in that little box right away!

"If you can't see it, forget it! Could it be that we can still smash this statue, then we will be famous all over the country, I think eighty percent of it is a treasure or an edict or something like that! Ye Lingwen saw that I was so curious, and said with a smile!

Brother Shen, what are you all doing, come along! We're going to visit the Snow Prison right away, and you're sure to like it.

Dolma, who had already walked out of the Dharma King Cave with the tourists, saw that we were still whispering in front of the statue of Songtsen Gampo, so he shouted at us.

Seeing that the tourists were looking at us, I had to follow out, but I still remembered the small box hidden in the statue, after all, the statue of Songtsen Gampo was more than a thousand years ago! What a curiosity kills the cat!

Mos also turned back three times in one step, and it seems that he is also very curious. I thought to myself that this robot is amazing, since taking her out of the dungeon, I think she's getting smarter and smarter!

We were led by Dolma and visited the Snow Prison.

The Snow Prison is located in the building area directly below the Potala Palace, which is collectively known as the "Snow City", and its building consists of two parts, the prison to the east and the warehouse to the west.

One of the prisons to the east is the notorious "Scorpion Cave". Prisoners are stung to death by swarms of scorpions in their holes, and here we see the instruments used by the Snow Prison to punish prisoners, including handcuffs, leg irons, stone hats, bamboo sticks, knives to chop hands and feet, iron spoons to gouge out eyes, and so on.

Qin Yinian sighed again and again: If you want to be ruthless, you Mo Li Xing people are amazing!

"Be quiet! It's not the Morri, it's the earthlings! I hurriedly corrected him.

After visiting, after the snow prison, it was late, and our group returned to the hotel downstairs under the leadership of Zhuoma, I returned to the room, and I still remembered the mysterious little box in the Songtsan Gampo statue.

Qingyang, have you noticed the murals in the main hall of the Red Palace today? As soon as Qin Yinian came in, he shouted at me, I was shocked, he must have found something, but what could be in the Potala Palace built more than a thousand years ago? Let him make such a fuss?

At this time, Qin Cuihua and Ye Lingwen also walked in.

"Mos, you project the mural image that I asked you to scan in the afternoon" As soon as Qin Yinian's words fell, the 3D image of the Red Palace that we had just visited in the afternoon was displayed around me, I took a cursory look at the murals on the wall, but I didn't see anything abnormal, so I cast a puzzled look at Qin Yinian!

"Qingyang! Don't you think this mural is the story of the ghost mother country that Dolma told us? You see this is the ghost mother going down the mountain to save the people, this is the ghost mother who unified the plateau after the war, and finally this high mountain that covers the sky and the sun, isn't that the ethereal peak that traps the ghost mother" Qin Yinian explained to me while pointing to the mural.
