Bureau of Anomalous Biological Countermeasures Chapter 342: Toast
I don't know what Xi Yingzhen has experienced since he entered Tibet. The disciple of Lao Tzu didn't wake up until it was dark. I was woken up by the sound of beating drums...
When it was just getting dark, a group of Tibetans in auspicious costumes beat the local musical instruments and stopped the convoy. Afterwards, a middle-aged man in a silk cotton robe held a Hada in his hand, came to the carriage that had never returned, and said to the door: "When the sun rose in the morning, a golden eagle from the east came to announce the good news-- said A noble person came to Tibet, let us receive it diligently... Dear guest, please get off the bus and accept our Hada in Tibet..."
This middle-aged Tibetan seems to be singing, but a non-standard Chinese language comes out of his mouth. Seeing him circling around the carriage, after returning home, he smiled, opened the door and walked out. Just as the old guy's feet landed, a white Hada was hung around his neck...
"How do you say this, why is it such a big etiquette..." After Gui Bugui accepted Hada with a smile, he continued to say to the middle-aged Tibetan: "I don't understand the rules here, old man. Who... took the two hundred taels of gold in return..."
Hearing that he wanted to return the gift, the middle-aged Tibetan hurriedly explained: "Da Dong, you misunderstood, I am a local Tusi Jiewang, and I am friends with the store manager of the Lhasa Sishui ship. I heard that Da Dong has It will pass through my land, and I will come here early in the morning with the children in the stockade..."
While this chieftain named Jiewang was speaking, the men and women behind him took out the hada and hung them around their necks when they saw the convoy. Moments later, almost everyone had hada hanging around their necks.
At this time, Tusi Jiewang continued: "My esteemed master, it's getting late. You should rest in my stockade. After knowing the news that you are going to pass by, I have asked the children to put them in the stockade. It has been cleaned outside. I have already prepared the best butter tea and highland barley wine, and I invite all distinguished guests to come and taste our Tibetan craftsmanship.”
Originally, Guibugui had already ordered people to find a flat and dry place to camp, but now I see how enthusiastic this Chief Jiewang is. He immediately became the master and asked Tusi Jiewang to get on the bus together, and then the group marched towards Tusi Jiewang's stockade in a mighty manner.
Taking advantage of their time on the road, Kuibugui and Jiewang talked about their home life. It turned out that the Tibetan still relied on the power of the Sishui ship, and this dish was on the toast. Originally, Jiewang was an ordinary fur dealer. Later, when he went to Lhasa to sell goods, he caught up with the steward of the Surabaya.
The manager sees that he is smart and can speak Chinese. He was particularly promoted, as long as the furs that were prosperous were bought first. Then he also gave him a list of the Tibetan goods that the Surabaya ship wanted to buy, and asked Jiewang to buy the goods for the Surabaya ship. In a few years, he made a lot of money and became the son-in-law of a local toast.
Because his father-in-law had no son, he gave Jiewang the title and property of the chieftain after his death. After becoming a chieftain, Jiewang continued to work for the Sishui, and has become the most powerful chieftain within a few hundred miles. I heard that the big owner of the Surabaya had entered Tibet, so naturally he would try his best to make friends.
After listening to Jiewang's self-introduction, the awakened Xi Yingzhen yawned and said to him, "Master Dao, I just said why I was beating and beating outside in the middle of the night, and I thought someone was holding a wedding... By the way, since you are the most powerful chieftain here, you must have heard about the Tongfo Temple, right?"
"You are talking about the Great Buddha Temple, right? It's the most effective temple here. I went to the Great Buddha Temple to seek my future, and I received an order for the Surabaya number the next year. I took the position of the chieftain." Although Jiewang is a Tibetan, he has been with the people of the Sishui for a long time, and he has a lot of hearts. Seeing that the big boss is flattering to this poor old man, he also continued to say with a pleasant face: "Now every year I still have to take my children to the Great Buddha Temple to repay my vows. The woman in my family gave me three daughters, and my family business can never be It's cheap son-in-law..."
Toast Jiewang was in the light of his father-in-law, but he didn't want his son-in-law to take advantage of him. Gui Bugui, who had provoked it all over again, burst out laughing, and before the old guy's laughter ended, he heard Wu Mian say to Jie Wang: "I heard that there are many legends in the Great Buddha Temple, which can bring people back to life, Dead souls can also be reunited. Have you heard of this?"
"I've heard of it, I've heard of it. In the past, there were people who made a special trip to bring the dead back to life..." After a smile, Jiewang continued: "There are many rules and regulations in the Great Buddha Temple, and many Tibetans will The deceased relatives carried their backs and asked the loudspeaker inside to cast spells to bring them back to life. As a result, they were all beaten out, and the dead were burned directly at the entrance of the temple. Because this was the decree of the Buddha in the temple, no one dared to resist. In fact, they did not I know, not everyone can be resurrected. It depends on fate, let me show you this..."
When he said this, Jiewang took out a string of beads from his neck, let Wu Mian and Gui Bugui all take a look, and then said proudly: "This is the loudspeaker of the Great Buddha Temple. As a reward, with this string of beads, I can be resurrected once after I die. This is because Kuo Buddha saw that I had a fate with Lord Buddha, and this was rewarded..."
Gui Wugui took a look at the beads, and there was a Sanskrit word written behind each bead. It is linked together in one sentence - the blessing of the Buddha, the resurrection after death is prevented from entering reincarnation once...
After returning the Buddha beads to Jiwang, Kuibugui smiled and said, "It looks like the iron coupons of our Han people. If so-and-so has merit, we can use this coupon to avoid death once... But we Han people learn I'm fine, but I don't dare to put my life on it..."
Wu Mian had already planned his words before he returned home. The white-haired man looked at Tusi Jiewang and continued, "Let's talk about your Great Buddhist Temple, besides these, there are other legends. ?"
Toast Jiewang accompanied Wu Mian with a smiling face and said to Wu Mian: "Dear guest, you can't call it a legend. Many things about the Great Buddha Temple are well-founded. Like me, my grandfather's generation was still serfs. Master Toast was a cow herder. Later, when he passed by the Great Buddha Temple, he dedicated all the money that Toast had last time to the Buddha. As a result, he was wiped out of his slave status because he saved Master Toast’s life. And I , If it wasn't for the blessing of the Buddha, how could I have become a toast, when my grandfather was a serf, now I don't even dare to think about it..."
"So is there any greater miracle? For example, you have seen someone come back to life with your own eyes?" Gui Bugui smiled and continued to Tusi Jiewang: "Or do you know Tusi? Who is the one who came back from the dead? You are not the only one who has a relationship with Tong Buddhist Temple, right?"
When he said this, Jiewang was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "It's hard to inquire about such a thing. Once the Buddha is angered, I will take back the chance I worked so hard to get back to life again. Then It's too much trouble... to the stockade, a few distinguished guests, the banquet has been set, please come and taste the best butter tea and highland barley wine in Tibet..."
At this time, the convoy had arrived in front of the village of Tusi Jiewang. Another team has been prepared here. At the moment, dozens of Tibetan girls sang and danced in front of the car, and then offered hada to everyone in the car.
After getting off the bus, a Tibetan woman about the age of the chieftain came to the crowd with three men, three women and six young people, surrounded by a group of Tibetans. It's just that these few people didn't understand Chinese. After speaking a string of Tibetan words to Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, Tusi Jiewang personally translated and said, "This is my woman, followed by my daughter and son-in-law. The distinguished guests went to the stockade to eat, and just slaughtered a yak in the morning, and made a special trip to entertain the distinguished guests..."
At this time, a Tibetan man who looked like a housekeeper ran to Tusi Jiewang's ear and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Chief Jiewang immediately changed his face and said to the crowd, "The loudspeaker of the Great Buddha Temple has arrived..."
