Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 259
Kumbu’s words were like a blockbuster, and Lao Yan and I couldn’t speak for a long time. I was shocked how could Kumbu be expelled from Miaojiang because of Kumbu’s ability?

Because of Kumbu’s relationship, I also went to learn about Miao Jiang. Miao Jiang is not monolithic. They have multiple forces, but Kumbu’s power is the largest, and other small forces respect them.The biggest reason is that they have a Gu king like Kumbu, but now they actually removed their Gu king?

No matter how I think about it, I wonder if the people in Miaojiang are out of their minds. Without Kumbu and Tashi died again, aren't they afraid that other forces will take the opportunity to deal with them?
"How are you?" Lao Yan asked worriedly.

I took a strange look at Lao Yan. Except for a slight change in Kumbu's expression just now, he didn't have any mood swings at all, so Lao Yan doesn't have to worry so much.

Kunbu shook his head: "I'm the Gu King after all, even if I'm delisted, they won't go too far."

"No, follow me to have a look." Lao Yan was in a hurry, stepped forward and grabbed Kunbu's arm, pulled him and rushed out of the office, I was stunned for a while.It was only then that I suddenly realized that Lao Yan's question about whether there was anything wrong was not referring to Kunbu's emotions at all. When I thought of what Kunbu said when he returned to Lao Yan, my heart was agitated, and I hurried to follow.

But Kunbu stopped outside the office and said, "Lao Yan, there's no need to make a big fuss."

"How can this be done, according to Miao Jiang's rules..." Lao Yan became even more anxious.

But he was interrupted by Kumbu before he finished speaking: "Old Yan, I have a sense of proportion!"

After finishing speaking, he went back to the office, picked up his bag and put 701 on his back. He left after saying that he had a mission and looked for him in the usual place. It seemed that he was indeed colder than before.

"Ah!" Lao Yan looked at Kumbu's back and sighed deeply, then shook his head helplessly and said, "They are all a bunch of disobedient ones, what a headache."

"Lao Yan, I want to ask what the rules are in Miao Jiang?" I asked curiously, it might not be easy to make Lao Yan turn pale with shock.

Lao Yan took out a cigarette, smoked one-third of it in one puff, and held it in for a while before spit it out. The smoke ring made his expression a bit hazy.

"Blood relationship is the most important thing in places like Miaojiang. Although Kumbu has been in 701 all these years and has never returned to Miaojiang, he is still from Miaojiang, so those people in Miaojiang will not deal with him, but if he wants to completely Completely get rid of Miaojiang, then..." At this point, Lao Yan's face turned cold: "I should have accompanied him to Miaojiang."

"What's going on?" I asked.

"All his blood must be left behind." Lao Yan spoke slowly, but his tone was very dignified.

I was stunned suddenly: "What does this mean, it can't be..."

I swallowed my saliva, all the blood was gone, how can people still live, but Kumbu is clearly standing in front of me.I suddenly thought of what he said just now when he returned to Lao Yan, saying that because he is a Gu king, the tribe is showing mercy to him, right?

Lao Yan sneered: "Just because he is the Gu King, Miao Jiang's group is even more unlikely to let him go, otherwise the existence of Kumbu would be a threat and an insult to them! Think about Miao Jiang Claiming to be the hometown of Gu poison, how could it be possible to allow the Gu king not to belong to their southern border?"

"Then Kumbu..." I looked at the place where Kumbu disappeared in shock. If he lost the ability to play Gu...his position in 701 would definitely be in jeopardy.

Lao Yan shook his head: "It shouldn't be so. If Kumbu lost the ability to play Gu, he would definitely not return to 701 with his arrogance. Now that he is back, it proves that his ability is still there, but I don't know how to keep it. , how much he suffered."

I comforted Lao Yan and said that Kumbu didn't look like a big deal just now, and told him not to scare himself.

"Go back and rest first, you should be tired after being tormented by Liu Hanqiu." I don't know if Lao Yan listened to my words, anyway, he changed the subject abruptly.But after he said that, I also felt dirty, so I didn't talk to him any more, hurried back to the dormitory, took two clothes and went to the bathroom.

After taking a good bath, I went back to the dormitory, but before my hair was dry, Yazai rushed in: "Chang'an, go quickly, I have a task!"

As soon as I heard it, I jumped up and rushed to Lao Yan's office with Yazai.I saw that many people were already sitting in the office, including Professor Xu, Ms. Qiu, and even Kumbu who had just left.

"Are you here?" Lao Yan was sitting there, but when he saw us coming in, he said, "Since you are all here, let me briefly talk about this task."

He knocked on the table: "Do you know the Nine-story Pagoda?"

I shook my head. I have only heard in Buddhism that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. A pagoda means a pagoda. This nine-story pagoda should be similar, right?
Except for me, the rest of the people don't know much about the Nine-story Pagoda. Only Professor Xu knows a little more: "Is it Jindizang?"

"Well, but it's hard to say whether there is Jindizang. In terms of the value of the Nine-Story Pagoda itself, it is enough for us to mobilize." Lao Yan said: "This time the situation is quite special, because foreign forces are involved, so The higher authorities are urging like this, for fear of being chased away by them."

Under the introduction of Lao Yan, I knew the whole story:

It turns out that the "Nine-story Pagoda" is a legend. It is said that Buddhism was prevalent in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the domestic turmoil, Jin Qiaojue, the king of Silla, brought his pet dog to the Tang Dynasty to become a monk. At that time, he lived in Jiuhua Mountain and practiced. .He once made a great wish - "Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha", and after his death, his body did not rot for three years, and became the first Chinese-style mummy, that is, bodhisattva in the flesh.

When the king of Silla learned that his beloved son had died and turned into a bodhisattva, he cried bitterly and was joyful, so he sent a large number of Tang envoys to build a huge tomb for him in Jiuhua Mountain: the nine-story pagoda.

Whether it is the nine-story pagoda or the legend of Jin Qiaojue, it has attracted many people for thousands of years. They all want to see the elegance of Jindizang, but the nine-story pagoda has only existed in legends.

"Wait, are you talking about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?" I interrupted Lao Yan. Our mission has always been to find the legendary figures, but there are traces of the first three, but this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva... ...isn't it really only in Buddhist mythology?
Lao Yan said helplessly: "It's just that later generations made his deeds a myth, because Jin Qiaojue recruited many believers during his lifetime, preached Buddhist scriptures, made great contributions to the spread of Buddhism, and his body did not rot after death, so the world thinks that He is the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and his pet dog is also the god of truth listening. It is because of this that Jiuhua Mountain has become one of the four famous mountains of Buddhism, and incense has been burning continuously for thousands of years."

"So that's how it is..." I gasped. After all, I had little experience. In my impression, these bodhisattvas were really just illusions. I didn't expect that what we were looking for this time was actually the tomb of King Ksitigarbha.
