Chapter 77 chapter 2

It seemed that the ceremony had just ended. As soon as Prince Chambord and Mesa entered the Jokhang Temple Square, they saw lamas swarming out from the gate of the Jokhang Temple, and the red cassocks covered the gray of the square like a flood.The two of them submerged in the sea of ​​lamas, kept saying "Excuse me, excuse me", separated from the crowd and squeezed forward.After finally squeezing in front of the famous "Tang-Tibetan Meeting Monument", he took a breath and squeezed towards the "Monument Persuading People to Vaccine" which was closer to the gate of the temple.

The "Monument of Persuading People to Vaccine" was erected in the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty to commemorate the treatment of vaccinia and the prevention of smallpox.Probably to let people know that smallpox will bring about pockmarked faces, the Tibetans used stones to knock out pits all over the body.Those pits replaced the text and became the content of the inscription on the stone tablet.Prince Chambord was about to tell Mesa about his discovery when he heard a call of Dharma coming from the golden dome at the top of the Jokhang Temple. The lamas suddenly became turbulent and rushed towards the gate of the temple.Prince Chambord and Mesa were hugged by them and couldn't help running.They passed the kowtow stone slabs in front of the Jokhang Temple, known as "one hundred and eight scripture stones without words", and passed the ticket window, trying to stop, but lamas would come and push them as soon as they stopped.When there were no lamas to push and push, I found that I had come to the Jingjing Debate courtyard inside the gate of Jokhang Temple.

The gate of the temple was quickly closed.The lamas scattered and disappeared, leaving only Prince Chambord and Mesa standing in the empty courtyard.A river of golden butter lamps flows silently under the eaves on the east side of the compound. Prince Chambord looked at the courtyard and said, "We came in like this, without even buying a ticket. In fact, we didn't come in by ourselves, they caught us in." "How did they know we'd be here?" Mesa asked. Prince Chambord shook his head, and was in a trance when he saw a lama with a Chinese character face suddenly flashing out from behind a river of butter lamp.He and Mesa recognized at a glance that this person was the lama who picked up the child in the courtyard of the Tibet Academy of Social Sciences.

The lama with a square face came walking, shook the sleeves of his cassock and said, "The master is right. If you can't go to the Sera Temple, you will come to the Jokhang Temple." Sent away all tourists." Prince Chambord said: "It's not that we can't go to Sera Monastery, it's because we don't want to go." Lama Guozilian said: "I just don't know how much you know about the Jokhang Temple, but you dare to come here to discover the terma of the 'Gate of the Seven Tara'." Prince Chambord said: "What's the use of saying this, we have lost our freedom."

The Lama Guozilian said: "The world is originally a big net, entangled with cause and effect, cause and effect, and cause and effect. There is no freedom at all, and there is no loss." Prince Chambord said: "What are you going to do, hand us over to the police?" Lama Guozilian said: "Choggy Zangpo's followers never do that kind of thing." Mesa asked, "Choggy Zangpo? Who is he?" Prince Chambord said: "A generation of esoteric masters who are well-known in the religious world, all Tibetan monks know him." The lama with a square face nodded: "Maybe you will see him soon, maybe you will never have the chance to know him in your life. He is the master of all the Tibetans." He said and blew on the butter lamp under the eaves of the corridor thirty steps away. With a breath, the lamp seedlings of a river of butter lamps suddenly became choppy. "Before I receive you, I must first find out why you believe that the Jokhang Temple is the location of the 'Gate of the Seven Tara'?"

Prince Chambord sneered and said nothing. Lama Guozilian gave Mesa a bribery smile, and said, "Sometimes honesty is the Dharma, and it is power. You are people who understand the Dharma and have strength." Mesa said to Prince Chambord: "Fu Zang only has enlightenment and no secrets. If he is not a predestined person, even if he knows the 'Guide to Granting Divinations', the 'Gate of the Seven Tara' will be farther and farther away from him. Just tell him." Prince Chambord said: "In fact, we are looking for traces of Tsomang Gyatso. She is Tsangyang Gyatso's lover. She once accompanied Tsangyang Gyatso through a period of missing days. They hid in Sera Monastery at first. Afterwards, we came to the Jokhang Temple, which has "one hundred and eight scripture stones as bright as the sun". This is what the "Guideline for Prophecy" told us. It should be there. Or, Tsomanjim is waiting for us at the Jokhang Temple, if you know where she is, please tell us."

Lama Guozilian said, "Ah, you mean she's still alive?" Prince Chambord said: "Tsangyang Gyatso's lover will always appear in front of us in a way that we never expected." "I believe so." Lama Guozilian said, "The ancient Jokhang Temple does not reject people who know its history, Master Chokyi Zangpo also wants to know whether you are eligible to enter the Jokhang Temple, so I want to talk to you. If you can satisfactorily answer three of the five questions I raised, the Jokhang Temple will be open to you tonight, and you can go wherever you want."

Prince Chambord said, "What if we can't answer more than three questions?" The Lama Guozilian said: "That is not only the end of excavation, but also the end of life. Don't forget that not being able to continue excavation means exposing the terma and letting it die in your incompetence." Seven The Gate of Tara' will never be opened again. This is equivalent to destroying termas, piercing the heart of the holy religion, and piercing the heart of the immortal Tsangyang Gyatso. You will become the Dharma The enemies of the church, the evil traitors. And this place where you are, this stone-paved courtyard, has never stopped punishing the enemies for more than a thousand years. You know the 'Hall of Invisible Blood Curse'?"

Prince Chambord nodded. Lama Guozilian said: "Although we belong to the praise faction and they belong to the hatred faction in dealing with the 'Seven Tara's Gate', and their positions are diametrically opposed, we will eventually hand you over to them, because they are people in the church after all. I'm afraid you know how they punished the enemies." Prince Chambord had a stiff and timid face: "Drill out the meridians and acupoints." "No, there are worse things than this." The national-faced lama exaggeratedly grim. "Worse?" Mesa shuddered.

The lama with a square face stared at Prince Chambord: "If you know, please tell her." Prince Chambord seemed to have seen the horrible scene, closed his eyes and said: "The poison will enter the enemy's body, rot his heart, burn his lungs, tear his liver, open his intestines, and put the pain to death. Push it to the extreme, and let all your nerves scream like hell. The terrible thing is, you have no scars on your body, no one knows how you died, and no one will take legal responsibility for your death." Lama Guozilian corrected: "It's not poison that enters the body, it's a curse."

Prince Chambord asked: "Do you think we are members of the New Faith Alliance, Lama Ugyen?" "It's not us, it's the 'Hall of the Invisible Man's Blood Curse' who thinks you are Ugyen Lama. Both Ugyen Lama and the 'Hall of the Invisible Man's Blood Curse' believe that the 'Gate of the Seven Tara' is Tsangyang Gyatso's last words, and it is to destroy the holy religion Time bomb, the former wants to discover the 'Gate of the Seven Tara', the latter wants to seal or destroy the 'Gate of the Seven Tara'. You are caught in the middle. Whether you are the Ugyen Lama, it doesn't matter what you say, it depends on your actions Let’s see if you can unearth the real last words of Tsangyang Gyatso, and see if the last words of Tsangyang Gyatso are an explosive humiliation to the holy religion.” Mesa looked up to the sky in horror.It was dusk, and shadows loomed.The fortified walls of the Jokhang Temple fell from the sky, and the terrifying bird feathers flew down from the clouds and crawled on top of the big courtyard.The poisonous curse seems to have appeared, turning into invisible needles, swishing and swishing with the wind.A vicious sharp sword was already hanging above his head, ready to be cut down at any moment.
