Liu Qingshan was not too annoyed from the beginning to the end, firstly because they still had to film here, and secondly because the local aboriginals who had not yet evolved into a food-loving people responded with a tolerant attitude.

Because he could see that the meaning of those people's sarcastic remarks was very obvious. They all believed that the Han people were not qualified to tame the sacred Tibetan lions that belonged to their holy land on the plateau, because owning large Tibetan lions was a privilege of the local nobles. This kind of Behind the seemingly exclusive thoughts, there are inherent beliefs and cognitions that have been passed down for thousands of years.

The lion is a sacred animal in Buddhism. The Tibetan lion, which is very similar to a lion, is a sacred animal worshiped by local people to ward off evil spirits. Because it is extremely rare, not everyone can raise it. In the past, only people with status and status were eligible. .

Therefore, these people actually hold this kind of preconceived traditional thought, and they should be rich and powerful local people, and they think they have this qualification.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan didn't make much noise, but spent his main energy on Senger, who was obviously irritated.

Even though he didn't show off deliberately, the monks were deeply impressed by his ability to control the Tibetan lion that swooped several times with just one hand.

They all know in their hearts that even if the Tibetan lion is still underage, once it gets angry, it has the same explosive power as an adult Tibetan mastiff, which ordinary people cannot control calmly.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the leading monk was so active in stopping those people.

In fact, Liu Qingshan was also secretly observing the performance of the monks. If outsiders like them behaved as poorly as those locals, he would use force to resolve the matter.

Since someone stopped him, he suddenly smiled and looked at the shouting people at a certain moment and said: "My patience has its limit. It seems that you are all quite old. Why do you say such things?" Childish? Moreover, you are so blatantly robbing, are you not afraid of encountering a hard fight?"

Fan Shengyang, who was beside him, understood the situation and didn't see much movement. He just stamped his feet hard, and a one-foot-square pit appeared on the ground. If an adult's feet stepped into it, it would be enough to disappear.

This hand immediately shocked everyone, including the monks.

Because the ground here is a typical plateau soil. Due to the long freezing period, this type of soil has poor ventilation all year round. Although the soil layer is thin, the soil solidity is extremely high. An ordinary iron pick can only hit the surface layer hard. Leaves a white spot on.

This young man actually made a big hole with just one stomp of his foot. This kind of force was probably worth the acquired level of a few monks. Even if he stomped hundreds of feet in succession, it would never have such an effect.

Yes, several monks are at the elementary level of cultivation. Maybe they don't know what else is innate and acquired, but their kung fu is obviously the result of years of practicing martial arts.

They weren't the only ones who noticed it, the few people who spoke indiscriminately also noticed it, so they immediately shut their mouths tightly.

Just kidding, even a fool can see the power of this kick. If it stomps on someone, they may have to lie in bed for several years even if they don't die.

Liu Qingshan looked back at the monks at this time, clasped his hands together in a gesture of thanks, and then led Senge and walked through the crowd in a swagger.

The people who had gathered before automatically flashed out of a passage as they passed by, with different expressions on their faces. It was obvious that this episode did not affect Liu Qingshan's interest at all. He even grabbed a handful of candies for the children who gathered around him along the way to make them happy.

Senger is very dissatisfied with the candy given out, because these are also one of his main snacks on weekdays.

But no matter whether it is Liu Qingshan or Fan Shengyang, as long as he takes it out, there will always be enough minced beef jerky in his pocket. If he feels that Senger is a little agitated, he will stuff one into his mouth. This guy will I will calm down immediately.

It can be seen from this that Senger is not generally difficult to deal with. People with their level of force have to be careful in caring for it, not to mention the serious considerations that an ordinary person will face.

On the way to the top of the mountain, there were actually many believers chanting sutras along the way. Some even kowtowed all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain to display the Buddhist altar. The piety and solemnity gave people a sense of power that shocked the soul.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan tried his best to pick places where no one would worship. He always respected his faith very well.

Not long after arriving at the top of the mountain, Fan Shengyang discovered the situation: "Master, the few monks from before are now arriving with several older monks. Most of them are ordinary people, but they have The atmosphere of faith is very strong!”

Liu Qingshan had already expected such a situation: "It is said that killing an expert is a crime, and missing an expert also means a loss of opportunities! Although we are not experts, at least we have expertise in personal cultivation, and we also have A pure Tibetan lion, it’s understandable that they don’t want to miss the encounter with us! Let’s go down the mountain, the environment here is relatively narrow, and when our true colors are exposed, there may be congestion!”

His choice was correct. If he continued to stay here, it would still be very dangerous for ordinary people if congestion occurred. After all, there were steep slopes and cliffs not far away.

When we returned to the mountainside, we met the visitors. The old monks were accompanied by Chinese translators. The first person to come up was a middle-aged man with Chinese appearance.

He was introducing himself: "My name is Kuang Guowei, and I am the translator stationed in Labrang Monastery! You should be Mr. Liu Qingshan Liu. We know that your crew is coming, and you are the tallest!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded, and quickly nodded to the old monks behind him.

Kuang Guowei followed up with the introduction: "This is the chief monk of Labrang Monastery, Lobsang, this is the senior monk Jinirepa of Tantra College, this is the monk Genchapo Gonbao Dorje, and this... ....."

He actually recommended seven or eight people in one breath, and he couldn't remember the specific names, let alone their respective identities and responsibilities.

But at least one thing Liu Qingshan could understand was that among all the visitors, the one with the highest status was Luosang, the chief monk of Labrang Monastery, because it was Kuang Guowei who was the first to recommend him.

So he could only respond to this person with very warm greetings, but it was superficial at best, but he did his best under the unknown identity.

The eminent monk seemed to be accustomed to his false pretenses. After a few words, he made a formal invitation: "Our sixth living Buddha, Jamyang, is already a hundred years old and his physical condition is not suitable. Therefore, the management of the temple unanimously requested that I contact Mr. Liu personally, and also asked Mr. Liu to accompany us to the restaurant of the Extension College to have dinner now!"

Liu Qingshan didn't know whether to refuse or accept the invitation, so he looked at Kuang Guowei. The latter explained with a smile: "Mr. Liu is not easy to refuse, but considering that your group has just arrived and is still full of fatigue, the reception at Labrang Monastery has been simplified a lot, otherwise there may be subsequent invitations." When you go to the restaurant in the temple, you need to shower and change clothes beforehand!"

Liu Qingshan responded with a face full of surprise: "Shower and change clothes? Isn't that the case?"

"Mr. Liu, this most noble way of hospitality is almost the highest etiquette here. Even the traditional reception methods are not clearly marked. Only the current Living Buddha Jamyang receives him in person, and he will receive such treatment. !”

Kuang Guowei then leaned closer and added in a low voice: "Bathing and changing clothes is to facilitate you to accept the robes from the Living Buddha. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for outsiders to get gifts from the monks here. According to them, they will be considered to be related to the living Buddha." It is the same crime as stealing Buddhist items, and you will suffer the retribution of endless kalpas of hell, but the only exception is the gift given by the living Buddha Jamyang!"

Liu Qingshan's answer was also very low: "Isn't it just a set of dharma robes? Is there anything unusual about it? Or maybe the living Buddha wants to save me, a secular person?"

"No, in fact, the clothes the living Buddha wears are no different from ordinary people. He only wears dharma robes during ceremonies. And in his eyes, the extra rules for Tibetan lay people are festive attire and ceremonial clothing, which are also the watchdogs in the temple. Cloth daily clothing, the Living Buddha may have given you this type of clothing, or he may have plans to hire you as the chief inspector of Labrang Monastery!"

"You were talking about Gengchabu before. Forgive me for my limited knowledge, but Gengchabu is..."

"Gengchabu means representative. He only manages academic affairs and does not care about government affairs. If he exists as a layman, he is just like what we Han people call an expert professor! There are six ethnic groups and thirteen villages near Labrang Monastery. It is the tribal forces in ancient times. They were all tribes controlled by Labrang Monastery using religious power. Now in modern society, those religious people have also become believers, and they send Guowa or Chabu to them. The form has only symbolic meaning, but the dignity of status is still retained!"

"What is Guo Wa's identity?"

"Equally like the leader of the tribe! The candidates for Guowa and Gengsangbu are all selected from the eighty followers of Jiamu. In general pastoral areas, they are called Guowa, and in agricultural and semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral areas, they are called Gengchabu. These two The title still exists today, but it is mostly in the form of imparting and teaching, and does not participate in specific affairs. However, it has a high status in the church and has some privileges to freely enter and exit Labrang Monastery!"

Liu Qingshan also gradually understood that compared to before, when Tsering Rasuo brought back the news about the pure-blood Tibetan lion, he also passed on his cultivation.

A cultivator with extremely high cultivation level and possessing the legendary real Tibetan lion will naturally have a religious interpretation.

Although he doesn't know what kind of specific interpretation the current Esoteric religious sect will have on him, he is at least certain to be regarded as a strange person among his colleagues.

This speculation still comes from the legendary saying that Tibetan lions with pure blood can only be tamed by the power of Buddhist faith.

In fact, according to his speculation, that kind of power of faith is the true energy in cultivation, but it's just called differently.

And in the world of cultivation, there is a saying that masters are teachers. According to the information I heard at this time, it is reasonable that he is particularly valued by the Sixth Jiamu of Labrang Monastery. After all, there is a person who is far more powerful than today. Those with a high level of strength in the cultivation world will be treated with dignity no matter where they go.
