Chapter 105 The fifty-ninth chapter died before it even started

The servants led us to walk forward, and only then did we feel the majesty of what they called the high priest.Several times I wanted to ask him some news about the High Priest, but he was obedient, especially when he heard me say the word "High Priest", he immediately stopped and bent even more.This has been the case several times, and it is estimated that there is nothing to ask.Because I don't talk nonsense anymore. The courtyard is extremely luxuriously decorated, with vermilion walls and blue tiles everywhere, red, green and green flowers, birds, and caterpillars on the pillars and handrails on the wall, and the servants and servants in 楮 red Tibetan robes who are constantly shuttling back and forth. is spectacular.Now I'm beginning to believe that Zhuoma Yangjin is a princess—with such an aura, in the current society, people who are not super rich or expensive cannot do this kind of pomp.

"Here we are." Just as he was lost in thought, the young manservant bowed and made a gesture of invitation, and said to us.Before we knew it, we had arrived at a vermilion and gilded door. There were two girls wearing pure natural plateau red and also wearing 楮 red Tibetan robes smiling and bowing to us, saying at the same time: "Tashi Dele .” Lao Li and I looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why they arranged for these two girls to come. The male servant couldn't be more natural and said: "They are in charge of grooming and bathing the two of you, and someone will take you two to see the high priest later. I'll take my leave first..." Without turning around after finishing speaking, he bent down and bowed his head slowly towards the Backed away until it was far away, then straightened up, turned around and left.

The two girls by the door had already opened the door, while gesturing to us, they didn't speak, and they probably couldn't speak Chinese.When things come to this, there is no way not to go in.Lao Li and I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in. As soon as I entered the door, I saw two huge wooden barrels in the room, and there were a few short tables with red lacquer and gold beside them.The two girls immediately went to the barrel, stretched out their hands to test the temperature of the water, it seemed just right, and they gestured to Lao Li and me to take off our clothes.

I was shocked immediately, and asked Lao Li: "Are they going to wait for us to take a bath?" You know, I usually make some nasty jokes with Lao Li and the others, but when the real thing came, a strange girl suddenly said that she would come Give me a bath, I am completely unacceptable.Old Li was obviously taken aback.He hurriedly used his pitiful Tibetan vocabulary to express to the two of them the meaning of "we can do it by ourselves". The two girls looked at us inexplicably, and it took a long time to realize what Lao Li meant.The two of them didn't speak, they turned around and brought me and Lao Li each a change of clothes, then closed the door and went out.

It is such a pleasant thing to be able to take a comfortable hot bath after working so hard for the past few days. Lao Li and I jumped into the wooden barrel as quickly as possible. ... The change of clothes I brought are down jackets, woolen sweaters and other things, and my size is more suitable.It's just that Lao Li's is a little fat, and it seems that he has already prepared for it. After everything was settled, someone took us to see the high priest immediately.After passing through the corridors and courtyards one after another, we finally arrived at a very solemn hall. In the middle of the hall, there are two chairs carved with gold powder, sitting on Zhuoma Yangjin and a wrinkled old man.Dolma Yangjin's attire is very strange. She wears a red beanie with a three-petal crown and a fluted decoration. The hat is slightly higher than that worn by ordinary Tibetans.Long and heavy coral and pearl things hang from the two ears respectively.He was wearing a pure white smooth sheepskin robe with various colorful patterns inlaid on it.The old man was very tall, wearing a flat hat and a blue sheepskin Tibetan gown with water patterns. A three-inch gold box was hung on his chest, and a pearl the size of a pigeon egg was inlaid on it. Beads—presumably worth a fortune.

When I was looking at the two of them, Lao Li touched me lightly and said in a low voice, "Where have you been distracted, we were told to sit down!" Only then did I come to my senses, someone had brought out two chairs covered with sheepskin felt on the left side, presumably telling us to sit there.I hurried over and sat down.Lao Li frowned, bowed to the old man and Zhuoma Yangjin, and then came to sit down.As soon as I sat down, the old man's eyes never left me, he kept looking up and down, probably if there were not many servants present, he would have stripped me completely and checked me from inside to outside.

"That..." I felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, I smiled awkwardly, and asked Zhuoma Yangjin, "Who is this?" Zhuoma Yangjin said calmly: "This is my grandfather." When the old man heard Zhuoma Yangjin's introduction that it was her grandfather, he hurriedly turned around and said something respectfully to Zhuoma Yangjin.Zhuoma Yangjin waved his hand lightly, signaling that he needn't say more.After hearing this, the old man hesitated for a while, and then turned his eyes to me, with a hint of disappointment and heartache in his eyes.I don't understand why he is like this, so I can only pretend to be calm and sit upright.

Zhuoma Yangjin glanced at me, then looked back, still reserved, said: "My grandfather is also High Priest Guge." The old man quickly bowed to Zhuoma Yangjin again.It turns out that this is the mysterious high priest!I couldn't help but stand in awe. "He has been listening to me talking about you..." Zhuoma Yangjin paused suddenly, and said, "I was very curious about some of your miraculous experiences, so I brought you to meet him along the way." Lao Li and I hurriedly and humbly smiled at the high priest.His eyes never left me, which made me very uncomfortable.

Zhuoma Yangjin praised Lao Li and me as usual.The high priest said some kind words, and then some servants came up to tell us that the meal could be served—I guess, because after a while, some people came back and forth to serve the dishes, all of which were Han Chinese dishes, not a little bit of Tibetan style. flavor. Zhuoma Yangjin took the main seat, and the high priest sat next to him.Lao Li and I are of course guest seats, and there are several servants standing beside us, helping to add meals and vegetables.The high priest remained silent, Zhuoma Yangjin said politely: "I don't know your appetite, so I don't know if you like these dishes or not. I just ordered the people below to make a mess and make do with it. Don't mind." Can't stand it.But Lao Li and I were both extremely hungry, as long as there was something to eat, no matter what he did, he swept away all the food on the table.

After eating, there was another polite ceremony, and then someone took us down to rest.Zhuoma Yangjin didn't seem to be very willing for us to leave, but she looked at the high priest, then lowered her head and said nothing. When Lao Li and I returned to the room, we came back to our senses. "Why does that old man keep staring at you?" Lao Li sat down, took out a cigarette, and threw me one, and said. I was also thinking about this question, and felt that the old man looked very strange, but I couldn't think of the reason for it.The two discussed for a long time, but did not come up with an answer.Lao Li suddenly changed the subject and asked me: "Master Luo, don't you think Zhuoma Yangjin's attire is strange?"

I honestly replied: "It seems a bit too grand." Lao Li sneered suddenly: "Master Luo, you are also a college student after all, don't you have all these insights?" I was stunned and said, "How do you say that?" Lao Li took a deep puff on his cigarette and said, "I stayed with Master Banqin for a while. Apart from teaching me some skills, he also told me some old things about the Guge Dynasty when he was free - of course, he was He didn’t say that he was from Guge, but just told me some gossip. I clearly remember that he described the decoration of King Guge to me in detail. I don’t remember the other clothes. I only remember that the hat has three petals Hold it with a jeweled crown." Hearing his words, my heart sank: Didn't Zhuoma Yangjin also wear such a hat? "He also told me that the high priest had a gold box on his chest, and it was inlaid with Sese." Old Li said, "Surse, do you know? It's the Sese who is half Jiang Sese and half Jiang Hong. It is a very precious gem." That is to say - Zhuoma Yangjin is the king, and the high priest is the real high priest?That is, we saw the real Guge people?But... Zhuoma Yangjin, if she were the king, then... her heart was in a mess for a while, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad. The two discussed indiscriminately for a while, and Lao Li suddenly changed the topic to me. "Master Luo, Yang Jin is interested in you, you know that, right?" he said. They are all discerning people, so I couldn't pretend that I didn't know, so I honestly said I knew, and added: "When I was in the underground tunnel, she led me in front, and I felt very at ease and at ease." Lao Li sighed, gave me a meaningful look, and said nothing. At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and then a very familiar voice sounded: "Luo Lian, Li Zeng. The high priest wants to see you." It was Wangmo. Lao Li and I hurriedly got up to open the door. She looked at me expressionlessly and said, "Let's go now." After she finished speaking, she came to help close the door, and we had to follow her. This time it was in a small room, and the high priest was smoking with a hookah pipe. When he saw us, he politely got up to greet us.Wangmo arranged for the two of us to sit down, and we pushed out after tea was served.When going out, she bowed her head and said something to the high priest in Tibetan before going out, her tone seemed to be pleading. "Luo Lian. Yang Jin is an idiot. She loves you. But you are a foreigner. Our Queen of Guge wants to protect her subjects. It is impossible to marry a Han of unknown origin." This is the high priest since the meeting The first time I spoke, I spoke very fluent and standard Chinese. I felt a little thirsty. I brought tea and wanted to drink it, but found that I didn’t seem to know how to drink it. I wanted to put it down, but I didn’t know where to put it back... "Oh." I replied blankly, and at the same time found that my hands and feet were long, no matter how I put them, they were very out of place, and my whole person was very out of time, "Oh." Oh again.
