Chapter 28 Section 5

Unable to go back to Xiahe Hotel, the three of them came to the secret passageway behind the Manjusri Bodhisattva Hall to discuss what to do next. Prince Chambord said: "Now our opponents are everywhere here, the police from Beijing, the local police station, Aruo Lama's gang, skeleton killers, lamas from Labrang Monastery, and maybe even tourists, who may jump out at any time to catch them. Me, or kill me. The Wranglers must leave overnight to give the illusion that I have left here." Mesa said warily, "You want us to leave and stay here alone?" Prince Chambord said, "Can't you?"

Mesa said angrily: "You always want to get rid of us, why didn't you call us when you left Xiahe Hotel?" Prince Chambord said aggrievedly: "I was taken away by the police at the police station. In that case, I would not involve you if I didn't involve you. If I lose my freedom, you can continue to dig. Now, I am your elder brother, I have to consider giving you more time to be alone together, so you can't waste each other, right? The days of youthful agitation are so uncomfortable." "Hooligans always imagine that everyone in the world is a hooligan," Mesa said.

Prince Chambord said: "'Hooligan' is a product of Han culture. Tibetans will never impose this slur on any romantic and lustful man or woman. You have changed and become less like Tibetans." "It's not changed, it's improved, it's civilized," Mesa said. Prince Chambord said: "Then you go to civilization, I would rather be free and romantic barbaric." Mesa said: "Stop talking, talk about what to do next." Prince Chambord said: "Isn't it already said, you leave, I stay, not to get rid of you, but to divert the tiger away from the mountain. I will definitely go to you when I discover the terma of the 'Gate of Seven Tara'. The beloved horseman is in your hands, and the second my beloved girl is waiting for me."

Mesa snorted from his nasal cavity: "Shameless." Zhimei said: "Stop talking nonsense, seriously, how confident are you to stay alone?" "Half to half, just like me and you. By the way, Zhimei, we can take a gamble. If I succeed, you will give up Mesa. If I fail, I will no longer wishful thinking. I will be your absolute bodyguard. An absolute light bulb, only to illuminate you, not to harass you." Mesa sneered, "Chimi would never bet against you like that." Zhimei said: "Who said that, in fact, I want to gamble more than Prince Chambord." He didn't say that he wanted to bet because he knew Mesa better than Mesa himself. Prince Chambord, but the strongest rejection is often the strongest love. What Mesa expresses is actually her fear that she will slip to the point where she cannot hold herself.Zhimei felt that if she didn't bet, she must be the loser. If she bet, she might still have the hope of winning.

Prince Chambord looked at Zhimei appreciatively: "That's a deal. Men should be emotional gamblers, especially Tibetan men." He winked at Mesa as he spoke. Mesa glared at Prince Chambord: "Wishful thinking." Zhimei said: "Now I'm afraid that the Wrangler won't be able to drive away. Someone has been watching it for a long time." Prince Chambord said: "I'm still worried that no one is watching." They walked out of the lane and went around to the Manjusri Bodhisattva Hall, when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Hey, Hey." Turning their heads, they found an iron cage on the platform next to the door of the hall, and the voice came from the iron cage. of.Under the dim moonlight, what was inside the iron cage could not be seen clearly.They walked over curiously, but before they got there, Mesa called out sensitively: "Mandrill?"

It was a mandrill, alive, and it made human-like voices from the iron cage: "Hey, hey, hey." Prince Chambord said, "Listen, it's like Teacher Pemba is teaching." Mesa said: "You mean that Teacher Bianba's spiritual consciousness lives on it?" Zhimei said: "Concentrate on digging, and don't talk nonsense about things that have nothing to do with the 'Gate of Seven Tara'." The mandrill seemed to understand what they said, and suddenly stood up, clapped its two front paws a few times, and closed them together, as if bowing to Buddha.

Prince Chambord said: "Look at its eyes again, they are wet, as if they cried when they saw us. Teacher Pemba, what are you doing here?" The mandrill put down its forelimbs, turned around in the iron cage, raised its mouth, looked at them with tearful eyes, and breathed out. Prince Chambord asked: "Mr. Bianba, you put your soul in the mandrill and became the one-legged ghost Tai Wurang. As a god who protects termas, you want to help your three students, don't you? The mandrill's amber eyes suddenly shot two strange red lights, and swept Prince Chambord's face, then shook his head, as if he disagreed with his statement.

Mesa said: "Chimei, you should ask. Teacher Bianba was the best for you during his lifetime." Zhimei stepped back: "It's just a monster, it has nothing to do with Teacher Bianba, what do I ask?" The mandrill jumped up suddenly, with a crash, and hit its head on the top of the iron cage. A lama with a beard came out of the Manjushri hall and scolded: "Go away, go away, be careful that it bites you." Jimmy turned and left.The mandrill wrinkled its nose, stared at its bloody eyes, bared its teeth at Zhimei, grabbed the iron cage, and shook it loudly. Prince Chambord asked: "This is a mandrill that came back from the dead at the Beijing Zoo. How did you get it here?"

The bearded lama said, "We didn't do it, it came by itself." Prince Chambord said: "No way, obviously the lama of Labrang Monastery bought it, and left behind a commemorative medallion of 'Dousita Heavenly Palace teaches and promotes auspicious right-handed island'." The bearded lama said: "What are you doing? Inquiring about these things in the middle of the night?" Suddenly understood that the three people in front of them might be related to the murder of Miss Yangjin and the robbery of Lama Aruo's cassock. Come here, come here." Shouting, he ran towards the Manjusri Bodhisattva hall.

Prince Chambord and Mesa looked at the mandrill reluctantly. Zhimei shouted behind her: "Why don't you run away?" The three ran like crazy.Behind him, the mandrill yelled "Hey, hey, hey", and then it turned into screams and howls, and into a madness of rushing into the iron cage. Mesa and Chimi came to the square where the Wrangler was parked. In the dark, Wang Yan, Bixiu, and Zhuoma saw Mesa and Zhimei driving away the Wrangler.Bixiu quickly started the Land Rover police car and followed. Not far away, the Wrangler suddenly stopped, and in the brightly lit car, Mesa and Zhimei looked back.

Wang Yan said: "Don't follow too closely, Prince Chambord hasn't appeared yet." The Wrangler turned off all the lights, started suddenly, and quickly came to a corner with thick trees 200 meters away, and braked urgently.Mesa shouted in the car: "Quick, come on." The car door opened, then closed again with a thud, and then sped away. Wang Yan said again: "Chasing, you must stop it, Prince Chambord has run away." Two hours later, they caught up with the Wrangler in Linxia County and forced it to stop. Bixiu rushed over first, saw that there was no Prince Chambord in the car, and shouted, "Where is anyone?" Mesa said, "Aren't we human?"
