Ji Tang

Chapter 982 Sky Lake
When the guards saw that the usually steady Prime Minister was in such a hurry, they started to talk for a while, but Lu Dongzan had no time to pay attention to them now.

The reason why he was so anxious was because he suddenly remembered that when he was in Chang'an, many people were talking about Ji Song, the Duke of the State of Xi, who was also a skillful doctor. When he was still a boy, he saved the dying Princess Pingyang. His first steps in life.

After that, many high-ranking officials were cured of their illnesses, and it was even said that the current Queen's heart disease was also alleviated by that person.

Ji Song couldn't wait any longer. Even if he went to invite him in person, would he be able to save Zampu with his character?
No, not only won’t, but maybe I’ve longed for Zamp to die soon in my heart!
As that proud disciple, and a disciple of the Ji family who grew up next to him, if he could be somewhat of a true successor, Zamp's illness might be cured.
Thinking of this, he could no longer hold back his eagerness and ran towards the mission.

"Your Excellency"

The guards at the door saluted quickly when they saw Lu Dongzan, but before they could do anything, they saw that someone had already entered.

When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, Lu Dongzan was stopped by the guards of the Tang Dynasty mission.

The person on duty today is Chai Shao's son, Chai Zhewei.

He looked at the panting Lu Dongzan and said curiously: "Sir, this is..."

"Where are Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng? I have something to ask them. Go and report it!"

Lu Dongzan had no intention of talking to him at this time, so he asked him to go in and report without saying a word.

Chai Zhewei showed his fancy teeth, pointed at himself, stared at Lu Dong and praised, "Are you instructing me to do things?"

After saying that, he actually laughed out loud, which made Lu Dongzan, who didn't know why, frown.He was in a hurry right now, how could he have time to argue with this bastard?
"I do have an urgent matter and I need to discuss it with them. Please let me know. I would be very grateful!"

After saying that, he even gave a slight salute to Chai Zhewei. Even Chai Zhewei himself found such an action incredible.How could I not know how proud this old guy was along the way?

That was because he had never looked at the two brothers seriously. If it wasn't for the sake of Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng, he probably wouldn't even want to talk to them.

But today, this old guy actually saluted me?
No, it’s very wrong, there’s definitely something going on here!
He rolled his eyes and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Dongzan up. He said in surprise: "Sir, what are you doing? This is a shame. If they find out, they won't be able to skin me?"

"What's the matter with you?"

Lu Dongzan was very anxious. If he hadn't been worried about Zamp's safety and didn't dare to be too rude to them, he would have called in long ago.

"If it's not convenient, forget it. It's just my responsibility, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you sir."

After saying that, he walked towards that station without squinting his eyes, as if he was refusing to let strangers in. Lu Dongzan almost couldn't hold back what he saw!

"Great Prime Minister, Great Prime Minister"

At this moment, the embassy officials who had just heard about Lu Dongzan's arrival quickly ran over.

"I didn't know that the Prime Minister came, but I didn't greet the young one. I asked the Prime Minister to punish me!"

How could Lu Dongzan be in the mood to pay attention to him? He didn't even look at him. He just stared at Chai Zhewei and suppressed his anger and said, "You really don't want to report it?"

But this bastard didn't even blink. Just when he was about to force his way in, the official of the mission behind him trembled slightly and said, "Do you want to see the envoy of the Tang Dynasty?"

Without waiting for Lu Dongzan to speak, he just heard him say: "Oh, it's such an unlucky time for you to come. They said they wanted to go out for a walk in the morning, and they've been gone for almost an hour."

"Aren't they there?"

Lu Dongzan grabbed the official's collar, his eyes were red, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"No, no! Little man."

Suddenly, he stared at Chai Zhewei, which intimidated Chai Zhe quite a lot.Although my martial arts skills are passable, when compared with this one, even three or five of them are no match for me!
"What do you want to do? I'm warning you, if you dare to take action, you will be finished!"

The sound of the collision between the body and the ground was heard, and Lu Dongzan was furious. If his remaining rationality hadn't told him that nothing would happen to this kid, once something happened, let alone ask someone to save Zan Pu, he would really be torn apart from Datang by then. Disgraced.

"You can't do it, Zanpu has told me, I can't."

bang~
Before the official finished speaking, he was kicked out by the angry Lu Dongzan. However, regardless of his own injuries, the official immediately crawled over and hugged his legs and refused to let go.

Lu Dongzan tried to shake him off several times, but to no avail.

So he said angrily: "Get out of here!"

Seeing that the other party was still indifferent, he took a deep breath and said: "Let go, I will never do anything again!"

The embassy official looked up at him and then let go of his hand. At this time, there was still bloodshot eyes on the corners of his mouth, which showed that he was indeed seriously injured just now!
"Tell the truth about where they went? And why didn't you tell the truth? Who gave you such courage?"

The official was stunned when he heard this, glanced at the Prime Minister who was less angry, and said cautiously: "I already reported it to Zanpu in the morning. I went to see the Prime Minister but was told that the Prime Minister didn't come back all night. Only now..."

Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled bitterly!
Yes, I kept thinking about Zamp last night until dawn. If he could find me, he would be a ghost!
"Okay, get up!"

He looked at the middle-aged official who was kneeling on the ground, nodded and said, "The truth is that I wrongly blamed you. Tell me, where did they go?"

When other officials heard what Lu Dongzan said, they were a little flattered, but they still quickly said: "We went to Tianhu. They said they wanted to see the beautiful scenery of Tubo, and they said they would be back in three to five days!"

Seeing that Lu Dongzan's face was not very good, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, Zanpu has sent many people to go with him, and there are also Duanmei Sanbodhi to match, so nothing will happen."

"What's your name?"

What's surprising is that Lu Dongzan actually asked this person's name?

"The villain Langri is now the head of the embassy!"

Langri?

Lu Dongzan nodded, thinking of a good name.Thinking that this person would stop him from taking action against Chai Zhewei regardless of his own comfort, not to mention other things, this kind of devotion to duty is very rare.

"I remember you. Tell me immediately when they come back."

He was about to leave immediately, but when he walked to the door of the yard, he suddenly said to Chai Zhewei: "Today was caused by my impatience. Please don't take it off, young master. The following gifts are my thoughts." After that, he was about to leave. No matter what Chai Zhewei thinks, just leave
"Namtso, the full name in Tibetan is "Namtso Puma", which means wealthy Tianhu, spiritual lake or sacred lake. Both names mean "Tianhu".

Namtso means 'Heaven'! "

"Namtso is also a holy lake that predicts bad luck and good fortune. It is said that if a person with "good fortune" climbs the hill beside the lake, he can see the supernatural phenomena in the lake. Therefore, in the past, this place was often used as a place for Tibetan Buddhist rituals. A place for circular light divination. Every summer, many lamas go on pilgrimage to predict the future with the supernatural sights that appear in the lake."

Wang Xuance and others listened to Duanmei Sanbodhi telling the legend of 'Tianhu', and they were a little lost for a moment.

It's so beautiful here.

Standing by the lake, facing the scenery of water and sky, I felt dizzy for a moment. The vast lake could not be seen to the edge at a glance, and the snow-white waves rushed towards the lake shore; on the other side of the lake, there were gentle and continuous plateau hills. Standing tall, Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain is particularly eye-catching. The mountain is red and black, and the peak is covered with snow. The main peak is like a mighty warrior guarding Namtso.

Looking further into the middle of the lake, the blue sky is reflected in the blue lake water, as if large swaths of blue have fallen from the sky. The blue is so clear that it nourishes the lungs and clears the heart. It completely blurs the boundary between water and sky.

Namtso is blue. As long as you stand by the lake for a while, you can perform blue dreamy music due to the surging clouds and the wind blowing the waves.

At this time, Namtso Lake is like a huge mirror embedded in the plateau grassland.

There is a temple not far away. According to Duanmei Sanbodhi, this is the Tashi Temple built under Zanpu's order. It was one of the first temples when Buddhism entered the plateau.

Next to Tashi Temple, a piece of land that goes straight into Namtso Lake is like a peninsula.

There are strange-shaped caves on the peninsula, with countless stone pillars and strange stone peaks.Climb a small hill by the lake, which is covered with prayer flags, colorful and fluttering in the wind above the blue sky and clear water.

The yellow prayer flags seem to go deep into the Buddhist kingdom.

"According to legend, "Namtso is the daughter of Emperor Shakten and the wife of Nyenchen Tanggula." Their statues are: Nyenchen Tanggula - wearing armor, holding a whip in his right hand, holding rosary beads in his left hand, riding a white horse; Namtso Cuo - riding a flying dragon in the clouds and mist, holding a dragon-headed Zen staff in his right hand and a Buddhist mirror in his left hand. Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain is the most influential among the gods in the north. It has a vast northern territory and rich treasures."

“In ancient mythology, in the Bon religion or the Pantheon, in the folk songs and legends of local shepherds and hunters, Nyenchen Tanglha and Namtso are not only the most eye-catching sacred mountains and holy lakes on the plateau, but also the Lovers and couples who depend on each other for life and death. Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain becomes more handsome and taller because of the reflection of Namtso Mountain, and Namtso becomes more beautiful and charming because of the reflection of Nyenchen Tanglha Mountain."

Duanmei Sanbodhi is very talkative, speaking in an unhurried and slow manner, with a moving rhythm like reciting poetry.This is a unique person. This is what Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng think of him.

"I heard that Zanpu sent 36 people with a large amount of treasure to study Buddhism in Shendu? Does Master know about this?"

Ji Xiancheng has a very strong interest in these ancient legends, which is why he promised the teacher that he would leave his newlywed wife to come here.

He has lofty ambitions, but ambition is ambition, and he will not let you climb for no reason.It is possible to achieve something only by experiencing rich and colorful stories.

Duanmei Sanbodhi was silent for a moment and said: "Of course I know, I was the one who brought them there in the first place."

Wang Xuance and Wang Xuance were stunned and looked at each other. Unexpectedly, what they said unintentionally was actually the real owner in front of them?
Ji Xiancheng asked curiously: "Why is this? As far as I know, there is Bon religion on the plateau. They have been passed down on this land for countless years. Since it can be passed down for so long, it means that it is suitable for this land. Why should you abandon the near and seek the distant to seek some Dharma?"

At this time Wang Xuance also said: "I am also very curious. You must know that I am not very interested in Buddhism. Before the Tang Dynasty, their evil was even more hateful. Even now they are one of the cancers of the Tang Dynasty. Our Majesty Even if we want to deal with them at this time, we are powerless."

"Let me tell you, you are asking for trouble, why bother!"

Ji Xiancheng also nodded in agreement.In their view, no matter what sect it is, when it develops to a certain extent, it will become a cancer on the nation. If it is not restricted, it will definitely endanger itself.

"That's better than letting the Bon family dominate!"

Suddenly, Duanmei Sanbodhi became excited. He glared at the two of them and said loudly: "Bon religion? Haha, that is simply a demonic religion."

"do you know?"

"Every year, the first thing Tubo people do after harvesting is not to store it, but to offer it to the so-called gods under the bewitchment of those people."

"They are so ignorant that they don't even know that all their hard work for a year has been wasted. So they happily go to worship those crazy people."

He started wailing like a baby in June.

Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

"What you two don't know is that Duanmei Sanbodhi's parents starved to death because they sacrificed the remaining grain to the so-called gods under the bewitchment of those people."

"If Zamp hadn't seen him being chased by a wolf, I'm afraid now..."

The attendant glanced at Duanmei Sanbodhi who was squatting on the ground and crying. He was facing up, but the tears in his eyes could not help but flow out!
"They deserve to die, they deserve to go to hell!"

Duanmei Sanbodhi cursed, and Ji Xiancheng could clearly feel his anger and powerlessness.

"Zanpu told me that they are too powerful. Even if they are as powerful as Zanpu, they can only suppress them, but they don't dare to kill them all. Once they are considered a threat to them, Tubo will never have peace."

"Cough cough!"

The attendant who just spoke suddenly coughed several times and quickly winked at Duanmei Sanbodhi.

Perhaps Duanmei Sanbodhi also realized that she had talked too much and immediately kept silent!

"Let's go over there and take a look, you don't have to follow us."

Wang Xuance and Ji Xiancheng looked at each other and saw the silence in each other's eyes. Then they changed the topic and said that they wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery here!
Standing on the hill, as far as you can see, there are many islands in the Namtso Lake.There is also a peninsula of land extending into the lake.The unique geographical environment makes Namtso Lake even more charming.

"Bon Religion? Xuance, do you know this sect?"

Ji Xiancheng looked at the mysterious and beautiful lake without looking back.

"I don't know. We only heard about Bon Religion from the teacher, but the teacher seemed to have some concerns and didn't say much. But now it seems that this sect is very powerful in Tibet. We can even be like Songtsen Gampo to a certain extent. The heroes fight against each other."

"No, we have to ask someone to investigate this sect, otherwise I won't feel at ease. Maybe this is an opportunity for us!"

Wang Xuance said thoughtfully.
