83 Tibet
When you are at a very high place, the sky is closer, and the endless blue is so clear that you can see the stars, and the ground is full of green, along with the ridge all the way to the horizon.
The end of the sky on the sea is different from the end of the sky on land, but they are both vast and beautiful, full of crisis and vitality.
Lu Ying was fed medicinal soup by the old lama, and smoked with unknown herbs for a long time, and the symptoms of cyanosis of the fingers were cured in less than two days, The old lama said, This is the land that accepted Lu Ying.
"From now on, you're just like us." The old lama actually knew how to speak Chinese, and he had known Zhang Lie and some Han people who came to smuggle yaks for many years.
He stretched out his thin and wrinkled fingers, wanting to tap between Lu Ying's forehead, but Lu Ying disliked and didn't wash his hands, so he gave up and muttered: "It is said that the descendants of a big frog on the beach have developed in recent years, but they have not said that its descendants are so strange." β
When he heard Lu Ying talk about Qiongya Island, the old man figured out a little taste, and when Lu Ying refused to get better, he set off immediately, saying that the rain would stop for two days and then leave, and then there would be two days of heavy rain, and the old lama of Quli Jiangqiu understood everything.
Lu Ying thought to herself that Qiu Yu said that "most people who study medicine have good brains", but it was true, this old lama is very smart.
Quli is the meaning of preaching the Dharma, and Jiangqiu is Bodhi, and it is connected to the Bodhi, and you will know that the old lama was given to the temple by his family since he was a child, and he survived the war in Tibet and inherited the temple.
In his temple, there are more than 100 yaks, children who help herd cattle, and dozens of acres of medicine fields.
He fed by his own labor and medical skills, and did not need any human sacrifices, so he was a benevolent lama with many followers in the vicinity.
With the help of Qu Lijiangqiu, LΓΌ Ying quickly obtained a map from a local merchant and the current situation in Tibet.
Nowadays, there are three major forces in the whole of Tibet.
One is known as the king of Tubo but the actual power is far from the "Tubo co-master" Dazhen Tsering, the other is the Great Buddha, and the other is Dazhen Tsering's sworn enemy, the former Tubo king Bai Song.
Bai Song is also a nobleman in the jurisdiction of the designated General System Yuan before the Meng Dynasty lost half of the country, and it is said that he is also connected with the Northern Meng, relying on the blood transfusion of the Northern Meng, he was not driven away by Dazhen Tsering.
Under the command of the two "kings", there are several big nobles known as "ten thousand households", who have a large amount of population, land, and wealth at hand.
Lu Ying also heard Qiu Yu say this: "Now the total population of Tibet is only more than two million, and there are only a few people in the vast land, and people are fighting against the natural environment in the closest place to the sky. β
At that time, Lu Ying's face was full of curiosity: "Are you interested in Tibet?" β
Qiu Yu was surprised: "No, it's just that for a while, I heard that the people there were very good at singing and dancing. β
Then he muttered something again, "The most feared thing for art candidates is to meet those ethnic minorities with their own talents, and they can't compare at all, but fortunately, I studied volleyball." β
Lu Ying didn't know if the people here sang well or not, Mu Yue's grandmother would only let her grandfather sing to her, and she would dance the knife next to her, and in order to fit in perfectly here, he put on local clothes.
The young man braided his black hair into small braids, braided them with beads made of turquoise and amber, put on the sleeved robes of Tibetan women, still tied a cyan ribbon around his waist, and wore not many jewelry, only a beeswax bracelet given by Qu Li Jiangqiu on his wrist.
When he dressed up and walked out, the whole temple was silent, and everyone held their breath for fear of alarming this god-like beauty.
Obviously, what he wore on him was just the clothes of ordinary women's families, and he had washed and disinfected them before wearing them, but Lu Ying just wore them very expensively, and simplicity could become vast and classical on him.
Lu Ying stood in front of the somewhat blurry bronze mirror and looked at it for a while, and said expressionlessly: "I'd better put it on." β
This proposal was unanimously approved, and if the child walked out less than 500 meters without wearing a power fence, there would be a long-eyed Tibetan nobleman who came over to rob the beauty.
No one with a brain will have any expectations for the discipline of the princes and nobles.
Qu Li Jiangqiu also boasted: "You have a face that looks kind, this is a bodhisattva face,
Very extravagant. β
Lu Ying chuckled: "Another one who said I was noble." β
If he had an ordinary background, I am afraid that many people would laugh at him for being too pretty, being a boy and a girl, but because he was born in the Lu family, he is noble in everything he does.
It's better to be like Qiu Yu, and only say "you are the best-looking" when praising his appearance.
Qu Li Jiangqiu said: "There must be many people who praise your good face, but your face is not completely good, the position of the tear mole in the left corner of your eye is wrong, and your wealth will be good in the future, but your marriage is not good, and your heirs are not prosperous." β
Lu Ying's face was calm, with his body, it would be good to have an heir, if he didn't prosper, he wouldn't prosper, and the Lu family had been prospering for several generations.
Qu Li Jiangqiu said again: "But there will be many people who like you." β
Lu Ying said calmly: "I know. β
Qu Li Jiangqiu: "But looking at your face, your fate should have met at a very young age." β
Lu Ying raised her eyebrows, went through all the women she knew who were within five years of age, and said decisively: "You can't tell." β
It seems that the words of this old lama are not so trustworthy, and Lu Ying put aside this matter.
According to the information left by Qin Zhanying, Zhao Xuegu was in a temple next to a salt lake in Tubo, and it happened that Zhang Lie knew the way there.
But there is no merchant on the plateau who does not know the location of the salt lake, salt is the lifeblood, but also the hard currency, and it is the place where several forces fight for each other.
Zhang Lie said: "When I went back there to buy salt, the war over there had just ended, and Dazhen Tsering expanded his territory again, and the salt lake was stained red with blood, and the salt became blood salt, and I couldn't eat it." β
The ox cart was kicking and tapping, and it was bumpy all the way, and Lu Ying, who had adapted to the plateau, began to be able to appreciate it.
Every time he arrived at a place where people gathered, Zhang Lie would jump down to do business, and Lu Ying followed him to record, and he made a set of accounts for Zhang Lie, and clearly understood the goods and income and expenditure that he brought out this time.
Zhang Lie knew a few words, and after reading the account book made by Lu Ying, he knew that this was a good thing, and he immediately felt that this trip was worth it, and sent the nobleman to Tubo to get the money, and also fished a set of account books for nothing.
As everyone knows, Lu Ying also figured out what the Tubo people needed most in the process, and what could be used to exchange with the merchants.
He drank barley wine in small sips under Meisha's care, and tried butter tea, dried meat, and tsamba that was easy to store and carry.
When eating, Lu Ying must be picking up the fence, but the store selling tsampa and butter tea is a bit biased, and it doesn't matter if Meisha blocks the point.
Lu Ying seemed to enjoy the atmosphere and didn't care about the greasy sticky floor.
Meisha was surprised: "You can really stay anywhere." β
Lu Ying: "Why can't you stay, my grandmother was born here, I walk here, I can't say which road my grandmother and her ancestors also walked, it's very interesting to think about." β
Meisha: "If there are less than seven adults on Qiongya Island who are illiterate, and nine out of nine people here don't know each other, in the words of Qiu Shilang, it is prenatal education per capita, and I am used to not coming." β
Lu Ying commented: "For the things you don't like, either get used to it or change it, at present, you can't do both, if you want to go further in your career, you have to change it as soon as possible." β
Meisha coughed dryly, her face blank.
At this time, a young man came in, he was dressed in the rules worn by a samurai, with a silver sword hanging from his waist, he looked very masculine and handsome, Meisha was being trained by Lu Ying, and accidentally let the young man see Lu Ying.
The young man's reaction was obvious, his face immediately turned red, he couldn't take his eyes off Lu Ying, and when he saw Meisha next to Lu Ying, he immediately showed disbelief.
A companion called to him, "Namco, let's go." β
Namu didn't want to go, Lu Ying hooked her lips
, put the power fence on.
"Meisha, this time you went out, you suffered a lot of hatred for nothing."
Meisha smiled bitterly: "Who told me to stand next to you?" β
They didn't pay much attention to this episode, and Lu Ying always had someone to express their love for him when he was on Qiongya Island.
After the two finished lunch, they beckoned Zhang Lie to leave.
Who knew that when he arrived on the street, Namco came over again, stood two meters away from Lu Ying, and stammered something.
Meisha didn't understand, Zhang Lie understood, and immediately stopped smiling.
Lu Ying sighed, across the fence, Meisha could feel his helplessness, the first thief's heart
was at a loss, and hurriedly asked, "What did he say?" β
Lu Ying said succinctly: "He said he wanted to marry me." β
Zhang Lie corrected: "It's a plus, a plus!" β
The young people here in Tibet will be divided after marriage, and the thinning of wealth means that the power is weakened, in short, for various reasons, they can be polyandriand here, as long as they discuss it with the woman's family before marriage.
This young samurai named Namco obviously fell in love with Lu Ying at first sight, and when he saw that the "woman" he liked had Meisha, a very handsome and tall husband, by his side, he ran over and asked if he could join the family.
Lu Ying, who grew up in the influence of Han culture, can still remain calm, which is already the result of extremely excellent emotional control, and the first time Meisha heard this kind of marriage custom, the whole thief was scorched by thunder.
Lu Ying stepped forward and communicated with Namco in Tubo for a while, and Namco showed loss.
Meisha was full of surprise: "I thought you would bury him at the bottom of the stone steps." β
Lu Ying: "I only send those with bad intentions to the bottom of the stone steps, and people come to me generously to express their admiration, and openly say that they want to marry me with their wealth, what's wrong with him?" I don't like him, just make it clear to him, there's no need to hurt him. β
If Qiu Yu was here, he would also explain to Meisha: "Brother, you don't know, right? Although Brother Ying is very irritable with the enemy, it is because the enemy recruits him first, and Brother Ying has a good temper at other times. β
Lu Ying is not only able to stuff candy into the hands of peasant children, but also occasionally goes to the Tzu Yu Hall to teach children and observe their lives, but she is also a very gentle and patient teacher in the eyes of the orphans.
Lu Ying's body has very obvious traces of the Lu family's education, he is very brave, determined, merciful and weak, and the upbringing is very and extremely good, Qiu Yu and Lu Ying have known each other for so many years, and they have never heard Lu Ying attack anyone's appearance, or laugh at anyone, as if looking at people only by their conduct and ability, ignoring the superficial skin.
Qiu Yu remembered that Lu Ying had met that kind of black and fat peasant girl who came to confess and said, "Young Master Sun, I want to marry you in the future", but he was not annoyed at all, he just seriously refused the other party and said "I don't like you", and he would not laugh at the girl's wishful thinking afterwards, let alone take a person's show of love as a joke.
In Qiu Yu's observation, Lu Ying agrees with the emotion of love, in his eyes, being able to love seems to be a precious ability, if someone works hard for love, or resists power for love, it can also be appreciated by Yingying.
Anyway, this child's view of love also belonged to the "wonderful" category in the feudal era.
Namco obviously felt that Lu Ying, who spoke kindly and had a good voice, was very attractive, and when he left, he was reluctant to give up, and turned back three times in one step, but Lu Ying still didn't take it seriously.
He saw that there were many people gathered here, nearly six thousand, so he simply walked around the area.
Relying on the more and more proficient Tubo dialect, as well as Lu Ying's persuasive Bodhisattva face pretending to be a god and Buddha, and the sugar he brought when he entered Tubo, there was almost no mouth that Lu Ying couldn't pry.
Usually he just walks over and talks to someone, but after a while, he can have a very pleasant conversation with someone, and with the addition of sugar, the person on the other side knows everything.
It was also through the investigation notes written by Lu Ying that Meisha began to understand this place.
The Tibetan Plateau, according to information obtained from Qiu Yu, is several thousand meters higher than the plains, so outsiders are prone to discomfort and need time to adapt.
In addition, LΓΌ Ying recorded the names, locations, and populations of the various forces here...... It's almost a "guide to entering Tibet as an official".
Lu Ying also learned to dance here, he has a good foundation of dancing swords and knives, his body is flexible, he has good coordination, he can learn any dance quickly, sometimes he will wear a veil, go to the herdsmen's bonfire to dance with them, and also learn how to sing the songs of the Tibetan people.
In addition, Lu Ying also has a little medical skills, mainly to help people sew wounds, treat colds (senior patients have rich experience), and also give white sugar to those who are poor and malnourished.
Soon, it began to be rumored that there was a goddess on the plateau, who was as pure and beautiful as a snow lotus, kind-hearted, helpful, and loved to listen to the stories of the herdsmen, and when her fingers touched water, the water would become as sweet as her voice.
Lu Ying, who heard such rumors: ...... This kind of familiarity, obviously I don't believe in God, but I am always easy to be seen as a god, and the headache is back.
They drove all the way to their destination, and it took them about twenty days to reach the salt lake, which was delayed by the expedition on the road.
The closer you get to the lake, the more bumpy the road becomes.
There are no paved roads on the grasslands, only dirt roads that herders and believers walk all year round, and foxes with square faces can sometimes be seen on both sides of the road, and flocks of antelopes galloping by.
The salt lake in Zhang Lie's mouth is now bloodless, but as clear as a mirror reflecting the blue sky.
There is a place near the lake that is used for sky burials, and when the ox cart arrives, there are people dragging the dead bodies and throwing them there, and vultures descend from the sky, and large birds with rich feathers and oily water are feasting on food.
Meisha helped Lu Ying get out of the ox cart, and when she saw this bloody scene, her throat rolled, and she felt very uncomfortable, but Lu Ying stood next to her and watched the process of a body from complete to broken.
"Let's go."
There is a temple near the burial platform.
Compared with the small temple of Quli Jiangqiu, the temple here can be called luxurious, when the young man walked here, a monk came to stop him, Lu Ying lifted the fence, and directly made the monk lose his voice.
Lu Ying looked up at the white Buddha hall and saw the red prayer wheel, so she stepped forward and dialed it, turned around and smiled: "I came here with a sincere heart, and the gods and Buddhas will not diswelcome me." β
"Sincerely? What is sincerity? "An old lama came here.
Lu Ying turned around and showed her waist card: "My grandmother Mu Yue studied medicine with you when she was young, Sangzhu monk, you once said that there is no prosperity in the Central Plains here, I came here to open up business routes and bring prosperity to you, do you say that my heart is sincere?" β
Lama Sangzhu smiled: "That's naturally sincere, please come in." β
Lu Ying followed the lama in, and the corner of his eye swept over the wall, and there were ornaments made of human bones and human skin.
Lama Samdrup's voice came from the front: "It's not made of living people. β
The willow leaf dart in Lu Ying's hand slid back into her sleeve, sat quietly in front of the Buddha, and listened to Sangzhu chanting for a while.
The content of the scriptures is to the effect that people should put down the butcher's knife, not be impulsive, do not kill at every turn, and everything is easy to discuss.
The content of the second passage of the scripture is that we should respect the elderly, and the young people who are rude to the elderly will be punished.
Lv Ying: ......
When he had finished reciting the sutra, Lama Samdrup asked him, "So, what is the first business you want to do with me, the little goddess from the original place?" β
Lu Ying: "I want to use 5,000 catties of sugar to buy Zhaoxue bones." β
Lama Sangdrup was surprised: "It was an antique that flowed into Tibet from the Central Plains during the sugar period, and there is nothing special except for the ancient. β
The old lama thought that Lu Ying wanted to intervene in the change of power in Tibet, but they just came to buy an antique.
When Lu Ying saw the old lama's reaction, she regretted in her heart that the price was too high and she lost money. com
