Chapter 106 Chapter 60 Goodbye, Never See You Again

"She is the person I grew up with. She has been to Europe, America and Japan. I have never heard her come back and tell me about anyone. You are the first... to come back from Jamba Ke Mountain. She is afraid that you will get into trouble. Regardless of persuasion, I personally went to protect you secretly. Including writing a note in Manchu to Niqiong asking him to take care of you. I know all of this. Just now Wangmo begged me, saying that you are the princess’s favorite person, and told me not to Embarrassing you, how could I embarrass you, you are our most honored guest..." The high priest took a few puffs of cigarettes and sighed, "It's a pity...it's a pity..." After sighing, he asked again, " Luo Lian, what do you mean—"

I felt extremely distressed when I heard this, and I didn't know how to answer, so I rubbed my hands together. Seeing that I was silent, the high priest sighed again, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter what you do. She is our king after all. And you are just a young man from a foreign race. She knows the outcome of this matter better than me." I still feel miserable and don't know how to respond.Fortunately, the high priest didn't make things difficult for me, so he immediately changed the subject and asked Lao Li, "I heard that you are the descendant of Master Banqin?"

Old Li leaned forward and said, "This junior is fortunate to spend some time with Master Banqin." The high priest said: "Does he have anything to say to you?" Lao Li thought for a while, and said: "Master Banqin has repeatedly told the younger generation not to allow people to enter Qiangbake Mountain easily, especially the Japanese. We must do everything possible to prevent it. It is said that this matter is related to the stability of the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau." The high priest nodded and said: "I only found out about him after the princess came back from Jamba Ke Mountain. It's hard for him. He guarded that secret for a lifetime. He didn't even tell anyone, including us. .” After that, he shook his head and sighed again.

After a while, Master Banqin looked at me very lovingly, said sorry, and asked someone to send us back to our room to rest.As soon as he went out, he saw Wangmu standing at the door. "Princess, I invite you two." She made a gesture of invitation, turned around and left.I was also about to meet Zhuoma Yangjin, and I felt that I needed to talk to her about something, so I pulled Lao Li and followed Wangmo. Wangmo seemed to have some status, as soon as some servants saw her along the way, they immediately bowed and stood aside until she was far away, then straightened up and went to do their own things.

As usual, they walked through the resplendent and resplendent corridors with seven bends and eight turns.After a while, I saw Zhuoma Yangjin waiting for us under the same eaves. When he got close, Wangmo said respectfully, "Princess, they are here." His voice was choked with sobs. Zhuoma Yangjin smiled and said: "My grandfather didn't say anything nonsense, did he? People are like this when they are old. Some nagging." I also smiled and said it was okay.Zhuoma Yangjin then ordered Wangmo to pour tea, but as soon as the words were spoken, Wangmo's tears fell like broken beads, and she cried, "Princess, you are obviously sad, why do you pretend to be sad?" Look happy?"

Zhuoma Yangjin pretended to be surprised and said: "Wangmo, you child, what are you talking about? Why am I unhappy? I don't know how happy I am to see Luo Lian and Li Zeng. Hurry up and make tea. Don't neglect customers." Wangmo looked up at me with tears in his eyes, then turned around to prepare tea, and Zhuoma Yangjin pushed the door open and called us into the room.The interior is still dazzlingly luxurious.There is nothing restrained with her, Lao Li and I found a chair at random and sat down. Zhuoma Yangjin asked the high priest again if he had said anything unpleasant to embarrass me, and I hurriedly said no.She thought for a while, and said: "Although I have always respected him as the elder who raised me, but—" she pointed to the three-petal crown on her finger, and said, "He respects this the most, so I think he shouldn't embarrass you of."

Old Li said: "Yang Jin, may I ask, is the crown on your head the king's?" Zhuoma Yangjin was taken aback for a moment, then his face became sad, but he returned to normal immediately, and said with a smile: "Yes, Li Zeng, how did you know?" Old Li said: "Master Banqin told me about this. He said that King Guge's hat is a three-petal crown, and the first-rank high priest is a golden box embedded in it." Dolma Yangjin said thoughtfully: "Master Banqin...he is indeed a loyal courtier, he kept his promise, and he never revealed anything about Mount Jambake to anyone before he died. If it wasn't for the fact that I came from Japan In terms of information, I am afraid that even the Guge people who are the most qualified to know the secret do not know that there is such a mysterious Shengtai tomb on Mount Qiangbake."

Speaking of Shengtai's tomb, I immediately thought of all the encounters in the tomb, especially the way Zhuoma Yangjin said that she liked me in a panic. I will never forget that look. At this time, Wangmo came in with tea.Zhuoma Yangjin immediately took over and poured tea for us.Wangmu stood at a loss, shedding tears and biting his lip from time to time looking at me. I was at a loss for what to do.Zhuoma Yangjin, on the other hand, has been trying to maintain a smile, and it can be seen that she is trying to suppress her emotions. "Okay. Wangmo, you have nothing to do here, you go to rest. I'll talk to Li Zeng and the others." Zhuoma Yangjin said.

Wangmo glanced at me, wanted to say something, hesitated to say something, after a long while, said: "Luo Lian, don't disappoint our princess." After saying that, he turned around and closed the door behind his back. Lao Li also saw the beginning of the matter and wanted to leave.Zhuoma Yangjin tried his best to keep him and insisted not to let him go.I was also afraid that he would leave, and I would be embarrassed by myself, so I insisted on not letting him go, so he had no choice but to stay. Zhuoma Yangjin still kept smiling, greeted us for tea, and chatted some irrelevant gossip.Finally, I said that if there is anything we don't understand, we can ask her casually now, and she will know everything without saying a word.

I always feel that I don't know how to face her coercion, and I don't know what to ask.Fortunately, Lao Li broke through this embarrassment. He said: "I have never figured it out. Since you are a princess or a king, how could you take such a big risk and follow the Japanese to Qiangba Ke Mountain?" Zhuoma Yangjin still smiled, and said: "We have only heard that the Shengtai tomb in Qiangbake Mountain is related to Guge's immortality, but we have not found any evidence. The only one who knew about it was Master Banqin, who sticks to his family. The oath I made to the king at the beginning would not tell anyone the secret of immortality. So, even I, until now, still don’t know how to live forever. Under such circumstances, among all the clansmen, I am the most The person who is knowledgeable and understands the most languages, all the heavy responsibilities will naturally fall on my shoulders."

This doubt is solved. I actually wanted to ask her how she, as a princess, didn't know the secret of true immortality, but after thinking about it, I felt that it would be inappropriate for me to ask.Just as she was about to hint at Lao Li Wen, who knew that Zhuoma Yangjin Bingxue was smart, she looked at me with a smile, and said, "Do you really want to know why we are desperately unwilling to let outsiders know everything including Qiangba Keshan and others? The secret at the Guge Ruins? I remember when I thought I was going to die, I once said that this is related to the stability of the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, do you remember?" Lao Li and I nodded in unison. "Then, I can tell you—because this involves the secret of the living Buddha's reincarnation. Our Guge was originally founded on the basis of the Buddha." Speaking of this, Zhuoma Yangjin said a little slyly, "But I have kept this secret until now. I haven't figured it out either. Well, that's all I can tell you, as for the rest, you can figure it out for yourself." For some reason, I saw that her face was always a little distressed. Although she had been trying to smile, she was still distressed.Want to say something, but don't know what to say. Lao Li was not a talkative person, just now he kept looking for something to say in order to break the awkward atmosphere.Speaking of now, there is nothing to say.For a while, the three of you looked at me and I looked at you, and the silence was abnormal. After a while, Zhuoma Yangjin said sadly: "I like you, Luo Lian." I was startled, I don't know why she said it at this moment.What's more, everyone knows about this, even her courtiers and maids know about it, so there's no need to talk about it. "I...I..." I stammered, not knowing how to answer.At most, I am touched by her occasionally, and then I don't hate her. "It's okay, you don't have to answer. Because this is just my business." Zhuoma Yangjin returned to smiling and said softly, "I hope you remember me. I remember that there is such a person... I have The subjects need to be protected, you have your own things to do..." She paused at this point, and when she spoke again, she couldn't pretend to be calm at all, and choked up, "A relationship that is doomed to have no ending..." My heart suddenly burst into grief, and I murmured: "Don't say that." Zhuoma Yangjin smiled sadly, "Luo Lian, how do you know? I really want to follow you...but I can't be willful." Lao Li wanted to say something to comfort Zhuoma Yangjin, but he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth several times, so he could only wink at me and ask me to say something nice.Helpless, I am a stupid person, and I don't know how to deal with the situation in front of me. Zhuoma Yangjin was sad for a while, before the tears were dry, Wangmo came in to ask for instructions and said that there was an accident that needed to be dealt with.She told me and Lao Li to rest a lot, and we can stay as long as we like. If we want to go back, we can tell the servants, and someone will send us to Lhasa safely.After all, he hurried out. Wangmu stayed behind to greet us. Seeing that I was still sitting stupidly, she sneered and said, "It's a pity that our princess...Luo Lian, you'll be fine now, you won't be able to see her even if you want to." I was startled, thinking Zhuoma Yangjin would be overwhelmed, so I quickly asked what was going on.Wang Mu said: "The high priest told you to leave immediately, the princess wants to do her work. For the sake of the interests of the subjects and the hundreds of thousands of people underground, the high priest has made up his mind to prevent you from meeting at all costs, then you are free From now on, there will be no more intersection, forever and ever, never see each other again.” As soon as I heard this, I felt like five thunderbolts, and I was speechless for a long time. Since then, you have never met again, and you will never see each other forever—what could be more heartbreaking than this?
