The Potala Palace was the first temple in Tibet, followed by the Jokhang Temple, Ramoche Temple, Tsurbu Temple, etc.
These are all in Luoxe (Lhasa), the former capital of Tibet.
In addition, there are Samye Temple, Changzhu Temple, Tuolin Temple and other temples belonging to various Tubo separatist forces.
Sakya Temple is the main temple of the Sakya Sect, a flower sect, and Pasiba came from here.
If the Potala Palace and Xiaozhao Temple in Luoxue are already sunset, Tuoling Temple in Nianmai (later renamed Shigatse) is a rising star.
Master Tianzhu regarded Luoche as the first center of Tubo, and Nianmai as the second center. How could it be the turn of Sakya, a remote place.
After Langdama destroyed the Buddha, Tuolin Temple played a role as a link between the past and the future.
Tuolin Temple undertook a great turning point in the history of Tibet, resurrecting and carrying forward the beliefs and traditions that had been interrupted for hundreds of years.
It can be said that if there were no Tuolin Temple, there would be no later Lamaism.
Samye Temple is not bad either. It was built by Trisong Detsen himself and laid the foundation for the temple. It is somewhat similar to the Shaolin Temple of the Han people.
Currently, Phagpa is not in Sakya Monastery, but in Liangzhou (Wuwei).
The person living in Liangzhou was none other than Kuoduan, the clan king of the Hu people.
Obviously, Pasiba wanted to join the Hu people and try to rely on the power of the Hu people to unify Tibet.
Needless to say, Samye Temple, Changzhu Temple, Tuoling Temple, Dongzhao Temple, and Kumbum Temple are not convinced, and the Potala Palace and Jokhang Temple are even more unconvinced.
If there was no Zhaojiazhuang, these temples would be angry but dare not speak out, and maybe Pasiba would have succeeded.
But with Zhaojiazhuang able to compete with the Hu people, these temples are no longer afraid of the Hu people.
After Zhaojiazhuang held a Crystal Bodhisattva Appreciation Conference in Xi County, all the temples were overjoyed.
The Crystal Bodhisattva is not only extremely beautiful, but more importantly, it has the support of Zhaojiazhuang behind it.
It can be said that whoever wins the Crystal Bodhisattva will get the support of Zhaojiazhuang.
Everyone who can come is here. Even if you can't come due to heavy snow, don't worry, there are also their wandering monks participating here.
Lama Dabu of Ramoche Temple was the first to make an offer: "Ten thousand copper coins."
Hearing this price, I was immediately scared away from many small temples in Tubo.
Some small temples cannot afford even a thousand copper coins. They come here simply to make a pilgrimage to the Crystal Bodhisattva.
"Fifteen thousand copper coins." Songdan from Jokhang Temple followed immediately.
Dama from the Potala Palace immediately quoted: "Twenty thousand copper coins."
"Twenty-five thousand copper coins." Samye Temple followed the quotation.
The Jigmei of Sakya Monastery immediately rose: "Thirty thousand copper coins."
The other monks couldn't help but look at each other. These Tubo monks were indeed rich, just five thousand and five thousand plus them.
"Rebirth of the Great Era of Fighting Waves"
"Forty thousand copper coins." One temple directly skipped five thousand and simply increased it to ten thousand or ten thousand.
This temple is none other than Toda of Tuolin Temple, which is really heroic.
Monks from other places in Tubo have participated in the quotation. Now it is the turn of Tubo in Qingtang to bid, and everyone can't help but look towards Qingtang.
There are still many famous temples in Qingtang, such as Kumbum Temple, Big Buddha Temple, Princess Wencheng Temple, and four Zhao Temples in the east, west, south, and north.
You know, Qingtang not only has a kingdom, but also Qingyan.
What is green salt? It is the best salt in the world. Except for the snow salt technology that Zhaojiazhuang gave to the court, it is green salt with the smallest impurities.
Qingtang is so rich, this offer should be more lively.
But what surprised everyone was that only one offered the price: "Dongzhao Temple, 50,000 copper coins."
Of course the person who made the quotation was not himself, but his disciple Wangdui.
Although the immediate increase of 10,000 copper coins was considerable, it still disappointed those present.
Jia Luo looked at everyone's expressions and recited the six-character mantra, feeling very proud in his heart.
Not only was he the Dharma King Khenpo, he was also the Prime Minister of the Right, and he combined religious, aristocratic, and court power into one body.
Although Jialuo looked sanctimonious, his eyes betrayed him.
It was discovered that he was none other than the Khenpo of Beizhao Temple who was dual-wielding Qianpa.
When the dual-wielding Qiangba came to Zhaojiazhuang to hold a Crystal Guanyin Appreciation Conference, he found La Jia and asked his brother La Jia for support.
Lajia looked at the "Da Song China News", thought for a while, and sighed.
He then said to the dual-wielding Qianba: "Da Lang, do you think we have hope of winning?"
"Erlang, how do you know if you haven't tried it." Dual-wielding Jianba put down the cup of butter tea and said unconvinced.
Lajia coughed toward the screen, and a middle-aged scribe came out of the screen.
I knew this man, who was dual-wielding Qianba, as Jinshi, Lajia's staff, and the former official of the Jin Kingdom.
He bowed his hands to the dual-wielding Jamba and said, "I've just met Khenpo."
Seeing Jinshi salute, Dual-wielding Qiangba was a little angry. In the past, Jinshi bowed to him, but now it turned into a hand-off ceremony.
"Da Lang, the security team is also Han Chinese now." Seeing the expression on the dual-wielding Qianba, Lajia didn't know what he was thinking and hurriedly reminded him.
It turns out that these literati have the backing of the security team, and their spines have become stiffer.
In the past, although these Han people had status, they were not high enough. They were almost treated as servants by the Tubo nobles.
Dual-wielding Qiangba thought for a while, finally looked at Jinshi, and had no choice but to cheer up, and reluctantly bowed his hands: "Lao Ne, I have met Ziwen."
Dual-wielding Qiangba felt that he was being courteous to the corporal, but it turned out that the corporal was bowing to him as if he hadn't seen him.
Now the other party only bowed and saluted instead of raising his hand, and he had to return the same gift, which made him feel inexplicably sad. The world had changed.
Jin Shi actually took a risk, but he didn't expect to succeed. He was secretly grateful that the security team came, which immediately improved the status of the Han people.
Seeing the other person return the favor in return, Jinshi felt extremely satisfied psychologically.
"Khenpo, which one do you think is stronger between our family and Jialuo?" Since Jinshi is Lajia's staff, he directly regards their family as his own, so he said this.
Dual-wielding Jamba thought for a while, and finally had to admit: "Although our family is not bad, Jia Luo combines nobility, court power, and religious power, and the overall strength is still higher than ours."
"Kenpo, after Brother Ji's death, Jialuo has actually become the number one person in Tibet in Qingtang. You can't help but see this." Jinshi bowed his hands again and asked as he looked at the dual-wielding Jamba.
In the past, he didn't dare to look up at Lajia and Dual-wielding Jamba, because this staff was actually half a servant.
Just now he saw the dual-wielding Jamba bowing his hands in a similar manner, so he risked looking up at the opponent again.
Dual-wielding Qianba looked at him, and couldn't help but find a stone hat weighing more than forty pounds for Jinshi to wear, then hit his head with a stone to make his eyes bulge, and then use a special sharp knife to dig out his eyes. come out.
But he could only think about it this way. If someone reported it to the security team, his khenbu position might not be guaranteed, and the security team might even gouge out his eyes.
He suppressed the anger in his heart and could only return the favor while nodding and admitting: "Indeed, Jialuo is already the number one person in Tubo."
After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh.
Dual-wielding Qiangba felt that he was unlucky today. Not only did he see half of the servants looking at him, but he also had to admit that Jialuo was the number one person in Qingtang Tubo, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Khenpo, if two big insects (tigers) fight, one of them will be injured. Have you ever heard of it?" Jinshi bowed his hands again and asked respectfully.
Although Dual-wielding Jamba is a Khenpo, he has also read a lot of Han Chinese books.
He had no choice but to bow his hands and nod, saying, "I've heard of this old man."
"Kenpo, don't you think that Jialuo and the security team are both big bugs?" Seeing the dual-wielding Qianba finally admit this, Jinshi unknowingly showed a smile on his face, "On the top of the mountain of Tubo, Jialuo can Do you tolerate the security team?”
"Although Brother Ji died in the hands of Zampu, anyone with a discerning eye will see that he died in the hands of the security team, and Jialuo will not fail to see this." Khenpo shook his head, obviously thinking that this was not a good idea.
"Kenpo, Geji is different from Jialuo. Geji is just a powerful official of the great aristocracy, while Jialuo is the king of Dharma and a recluse. In fact, his power is still higher than that of Geji. What we are doing now, Just keep pushing Jialuo higher and make him a big threat to the security team. For example, this time we gave up competing with him for the Crystal Bodhisattva." Jinshi patiently persuaded him one by one with the words he had already thought of.
"Crystal Bodhisattva, you only have one chance." Dual-wielding Qiangba's eyes shone first, and then he shook his head: "Lao Ne is unwilling to accept it."
Jinshi saw that the Dual-wielding Jianba was not making progress, so he had to patiently say: "Even if we spend a lot of money to get the false name of Crystal Bodhisattva, what will be the consequences? Not only will we fall out with Jia Luo, but we will also be regarded as the number one opponent by the security team. , Khenpo, do you think it’s worth it?”
"This Lao Ne didn't expect this. You have thought of this. Didn't Jia Luo think of this?" Dual-wielding Qiangba looked at Jinshi with bright eyes and asked him instead.
"Jia Luo is a treacherous person, and with Xu Xing as his aide, of course he will think of this," Jin Shi nodded and admitted this, then turned around, "But he can't help himself."
Dual-wielding Qianba frowned together and asked in confusion: "I don't understand why he can't help himself."
"He is already the number one person in Tubo in Qingtang, and he is still the number one even if he doesn't fight for it. In this case, he might as well just grab the Crystal Bodhisattva and become the number one person in Tubo." Jin Shiyu said it unsurprisingly. the opinion of.
Dual-wielding Qianba drank a bowl of butter tea and pondered for a long time.
Naturally, Jinshi would not disturb him, and was happy to let Dual-wielding Jianba digest his thoughts while drinking tea and observing each other.
Dual-wielding Jianba's expression kept changing, but in the end he couldn't help but sigh heavily.
Suddenly his gray eyebrows wrinkled together again, and he asked coldly: "What if Jia Luo uses the Crystal Bodhisattva to order us Beizhao Temple?"
"This is simple. It's a waste of time and money." Jinshi didn't dare to be careless and gave the answer immediately.
The dual-wielding Qiangba glared at him: "Jia Luo has the Crystal Bodhisattva and has greater power. How can he be vain and submissive?"
"Jia Luo got the Crystal Bodhisattva mainly for the temples outside Qingtang. He was originally the Dharma King and the Samana Bo Chan, and he was also able to control the Qingtang Temple." The Jinshi talked calmly and eloquently, "How can you make excuses? This is not the place. There is a security team, so if anything happens, just report it to the security team."
"It's not that Lao Ne is unwilling." Dual-wielding Jianba put down the empty tea cup in his hand and sighed heavily.
"Kenpo, if you want to win this Crystal Bodhisattva, you won't be able to get it without a hundred thousand dollars. It will almost bankrupt our family. Instead of doing this, it is better to give the other party a favor." Jinshi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the other party. Hi, continue to persuade.
Dual-wielding Qiangba smiled bitterly: "Which one is more important, Crystal Bodhisattva or human relationships?"
Seeing him, it was the Crystal Bodhisattva that he still couldn't forget. At this time, Lajia spoke.
"Dalang, Jialuo gave us ten thousand copper coins in order to prevent us from participating in the Crystal Bodhisattva competition. He also said he remembered that he owed us a favor this time." Lajia said as he ordered his men to bring baskets of copper coins.
Seeing the baskets of copper coins in front of him, Dual-wielding Jamba nodded.
There are ten thousand copper coins here, five thousand of which are his, and he feels better.
Dual-wielding Jamba recalled the past, and couldn't help but look at the scene with horror.
Although Jialuo finally won the Crystal Bodhisattva, it was said that the price was one hundred thousand copper coins and a mountain.
If he were allowed to compete, not only would his family fortune of one hundred thousand copper coins be lost, but he would also most likely have to pay the price of two mountains.
Thinking of this, he felt that what Jinshi said was very reasonable. In order to fight for this false reputation, their family was very likely to go bankrupt.
Dual-wielding Jamba was sweating coldly, but there was someone who was even more miserable than him.
This person was none other than Phagpa, who was already paralyzed in his seat.
Pasiba proposed one hundred thousand copper coins, plus two mountains.
It should be said that he paid a higher price and should win the Crystal Bodhisattva, but Zhaojiazhuang just thought that his two mountains were worthless.
Jialuo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Although he paid such a price, he felt it was worth it.
From now on, he is the number one person in Tubo.
With the Crystal Bodhisattva in hand, why worry about those lamas not obeying orders?
Although he was happy, he never expected that someone would be happier than him.
