I was wondering which tourist's child was so arrogant that he threw stones at me, but when I followed the sound and looked at the ground under my feet, I actually saw a fake three-eyed dzi bead.
At that time, I was busy looking around, and I saw a familiar face smiling sinisterly at me in an inconspicuous corner behind the crowded crowd.
"Xue...!"
I wanted to shout, but as soon as I opened my mouth, I felt that something was not right about the situation. Shouting so loudly would inevitably attract everyone's attention, so I quickly shut up, squeezed out of the crowd, and walked quickly towards the corner. passed.
Xue Nanfeng seemed to be waiting for me on purpose, but when I was about to approach him, he quickly left the place and walked towards a more secluded place.
I kept following him until I followed him around to the back of Xiayou Store, and Xue Nanfeng stopped.
The cliffs here are steep and full of strange rocks. Basically no one would venture here. Standing here and looking down, you can still see the crowds of people in the huge square below.
The still yet surging Happy River shines in the sunlight, adding a bit more color to this mysterious place.
However, I had no time to take a look at this beautiful and brilliant scenery. I stared sharply at Xue Nanfeng who was standing on the edge of the cliff.
"My good brother, I didn't expect you to get rid of your tail so quickly. Not bad!" Xue Nanfeng said with a sly smile.
"Xue, don't try to get close to me. What did you do to Liu Tingting and the others?" I said through gritted teeth.
Xue Nanfeng smiled at me again when he heard this, and then he sat down against a protruding rock and said unhurriedly: "My good brother, you don't have to worry too much. They are fine. I will take care of them." He is locked up in a very safe place and is well fed and fed.”
Listening to Xue Nanfeng, it seems that nothing has happened to Liu Tingting and Ximei yet, which makes me feel a little bit relieved. But when I say who I am facing, it comes from Xue Tianlong. How could I believe what he said so easily when he learned all the tricks and was a cunning and insidious guy.
"Xue, you came all the way to kidnap someone here and lure me here. What are you going to do? Do you want my life?"
"No, no, even though you made me miss the soul-capturing mirror, I do hate you very much and want to skin you and cramp you, but you know that you and I are blood relatives, how can I bear to kill you? I just asked you to come here because I want you to help with something. After the task is completed, I will return it to you intact, what do you think?"
In fact, I have also thought that Xue Nanfeng did not bring me here to kill me, but had other intentions.
If he wanted to kill me, he wouldn't wait until now to do it. He could have done it as early as in the Crystal Palace, and he wouldn't beg the blind old monk to let me go.
So from this point of view, this Xue Nanfeng is really not that bad, and he still misses the trace of blood relationship between me and him.
"what do you want to do?"
Xue Nanfeng smiled, looked up at the Red Palace, the tallest building on the top of Maburi Mountain, and said, "I want you to steal something for me, right there!"
Following Xue Nanfeng's gaze, I looked at the majestic Red Palace, "Stealing things, why don't you steal it yourself? With your face, wouldn't it be the same if you stole something from me?"
"Hehehe...it's different, of course it's different."
Xue Nanfeng raised his hand and waved and said: "I have equally important things to do, so I can't be separated at all. And you are my only relative in this world. I can't trust anyone but you."
Xue Nanfeng said it nicely, saying "family affection" to the left and "family affection to the right", but in my opinion, it seemed like he was just using me as his substitute, charging into battle and serving as cannon fodder.
I hate feeling dominated and commanded by others, but at the moment I have to agree, because Xue Nanfeng still holds two living lives in his hands.
"Okay, I promise you, what do you want me to steal, gold, silver, or antiques?"
"It's right to say it's gold, it's right to say it's silver, and it's good to say it's antique. Remember, what I asked you to steal is a thangka, a thangka of the Four-Armed Bodhisattva!"
I was stunned when I heard the word thangka. Apparently I didn't expect that what he asked me to steal would actually be a thangka.
Thangka is a craft inheritance with rich cultural heritage in Tibetan Buddhism for more than a thousand years. I once read the craft records about Thangka.
It is said that the pigments used in thangka are all natural colors, and in all likelihood they are extracted from ores.
Of course, there are also some extremely precious items, such as gold, silver, pearls, turquoise, etc. Even plants are an indispensable part of pigment extraction.
Among these many pigments, red is colored with cinnabar grinding, so thangka has the function of warding off evil spirits and protecting good luck.
Of course, this is not just determined by cinnabar. A good thangka requires hundreds of colors, and these colors are mostly derived from mineral plants, which can be regarded as including the lifeblood of heaven and earth, plus various The appearance of the Buddha can naturally be called the Buddha’s appearance.
I was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is there anything special about the thangka of Four-Armed Bodhisattva?"
There are many characters that can be depicted in thangkas, often including Buddha, Bodhisattva, Vajra, Medicine King, Heavenly Mother or various gods of wealth.
The Four-Armed Bodhisattva is a seated statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva with four arms. Such thangkas are not uncommon. I once saw one from the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the antique market in Tongcheng.
Moreover, the Potala Palace is naturally a gathering place for thangkas. There are not only 10,000 but also 8,000 thangkas that can be called ancient objects. Then there must be a lot of thangkas depicting the four-armed Bodhisattva. Xue Nanfeng decided You won't let me just hand over that one casually.
Seeing that I smelled the details, Xue Nanfeng raised his hand and pushed it away as usual and said with a mysterious face: "You just need to remember that there are two fishes on that thangka."
After saying that, Xue Nanfeng took a step towards me. After our eyes met, he passed by me and walked slowly towards the way he came.
"Xue, please wait a moment."
"Oh, my good brother, is there anything else?" Xue Nanfeng turned around and looked at me doubtfully.
"I can help you steal the thangka of the Four-Armed Bodhisattva, but I need to know if Liu Tingting and the others are safe now!" I spoke out my request.
"Don't worry, I will send a video to your phone soon to make sure they are all alive and well."
Xue Nanfeng left in front of my eyes in such a swagger, leaving me standing alone on the steep cliffs, messy in the wind.
Looking up at the Red Palace, I secretly thought about how I should sneak in and steal the thangka of the four-armed Bodhisattva with two fishes.
Unknowingly, another day passed, and it was time to close the palace. The tourists reluctantly left one after another, but I was the only one standing on the steps leading to the Red Palace, looking up.
As night approached, outsiders were cleared away, and hundreds of lamas guarded the sacred palace.
During the day, there might be too many people and it would be difficult to take action, so I waited until night, but I didn’t expect that it would be even more heavily guarded at night, which made my idea of night diving come to naught.
Not to mention where the thangka of the four-armed Bodhisattva is located in the Red Palace, even entering it has become difficult now.
For a while, I couldn't think of any other way. I could only leave temporarily and make plans again.
I walked without direction, thinking about how to enter the Red Palace.
Suddenly, a burst of red and blue light flashed in front of me, and an ambulance roared past me amid a blast of sirens.
People passing by started talking, and they were speaking in Chinese.
"Hey, have you heard that? I don't know who the Gonpot offended. He was tied to the top of the mountain and fed to vultures. He was only discovered at night and his life was gone!"
"Isn't that true? I heard from the witness that his stomach was torn apart, his intestines came out, and his eyeballs became two bloody holes. It was really miserable."
"I think that Gongfu is a short-lived prime minister. He does those things that are harmful to nature. He has been punished by God this time. He deserves it!"
"Shh...!"
"Keep your voice down. The people in Kampot are still arresting the person who harmed Kampot. I heard that he seems to be a foreigner. If you are talking nonsense here, don't be caught and killed as an accomplice! "
The guys became more and more frightened as they talked, and finally they all pretended to be mute and left quickly.
