Chapter 375 Dong Felt
The most exquisite thing is a Gawu box. The shell is made of gold, silver, and copper, decorated with exquisite patterns, and inlaid with turquoise, lapis lazuli, pearls, coral and other gems.
Inside the box is a yellow transparent glass bead. In the bead sits a small golden Buddha statue. There are countless scattered golden sands inside the bead, which is extremely gorgeous.
For the sake of overall effect, Su You also dressed up Quan Maochi and let Ji Duo Gyaltsen ride on it.
Along with Su You and Shi Wei, there was also a caravan carrying various gifts.
The team followed the Ancient Tea Horse Road through the Langdutan Grassland, crossed the ninety-eight bends of the Langdu River, and headed towards the snow-capped mountains.
The great monk looked very good, and the soldiers along the way worshiped the great monk and the great shaman one after another.
Jiduo Gyaltsen also blessed them one by one. As for the great witch, he just patted his head perfunctorily and finished the work.
When he saw Atunmi, Su You asked: "Sister, are you busy here? From now on, a group of cattle, sheep and horses will come every month, so we can't delay the training."
Atunmi seemed to like this pasture very much, which was very similar to Erlinbu Valley: "It's not bad, anyway, marching and grazing are not much different."
Qidilongshan said: "Great witch, when will Quanmaochi send us a breeding mating!"
Su You asked: "Have you found a good mare?"
Qidi Longshan smiled and said: "Anyway, Quan Mao Chi is idle. Just pull out the big horse from the middle of the file. Each of these horses is taller and more powerful than ours."
Su You said: "Let's wait a little longer and see if we can get some good ones this time."
The team continued to walk towards the mountain pass. Jiduo Gyaltsen looked at this lush pasture and said: "Yixi Weishe, this is an auspicious place."
Yeshi means wisdom and Weishe means light. Jiduo Gyaltsen insisted on calling Su You by this name, so Su You had no choice but to let him.
We followed the Langdu River to a mountain pass, where an official village had been built using large pine trees cut down from the surrounding areas.
Su You could not move forward at this point. He was the magistrate of the state and could not leave the territory without authorization.
The caravan began to lay out the grassland, and not long after, a group of Tibetan people came from the front.
The powerful Tubo chieftain was very lucky. The leader was a handsome man, wearing a bright red brocade robe. He had a silver knife with a short handle and a long blade on his waist, and a golden bone belt made in the Song Dynasty.
There were two powerful chiefs beside him. One was a strong man and was dressed in a black-and-red-flowered warrior attire. He was riding on a horse that made the horse look a little too small. The other one looked more elegant and his clothes were more elegant.
The person who came was none other than Dong Xiang, the third son of Sisi.
Dong Fe was now thirty years old and very handsome. According to legend, her mother Qiao was very beautiful and commanded 70,000 to 80,000 tribesmen.
This era is very magical. The Song Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, Xixia, Tubo, and women's figures shined from time to time in front of and behind the scenes of power.
When Dong Xiang was still young, Qiao chose the sons of Fan chiefs who were similar in age to Dong Xiang and lived and traveled with them. Their clothes and food were all arranged by Qiao, just like Dong Xiang. Therefore, Dong Xiang is now very popular.
With the support of the young Tubo faction in Hexi, even the eldest brother wanted to retreat to Hezhou.
Seeing the Han people busy setting up on the grass, Dong Zhan smiled and said: "Langduyuan is a good place to escape the summer heat, but the prefect came a little early. If it is summer and autumn, Dong Zhan can accompany the prefect on hunting and take you to several places here.
Good hunting ground.”
Su You smiled and said: "The governor's words are serious. We will have many contacts in the future. If you really like hunting, you can wait until after autumn and find a suitable day. I will write to invite you then, and the governor will have to come."
Dong Xiang is now the governor of Huizhou conferred by the imperial court, and Su You is the privy deputy capital Chengzhi. He is an indiscriminate fifth-rank official, and a full-fledged Chaosheng sixth-rank official. Although he is much younger than Dong Xiang, he is actually
His official position was much higher than Dong Fe's.
However, Dong Xiang pretended not to understand and refused to show his courtesy, and Su You did not argue with him. But when it came to speaking about territory, there was no room for compromise.
There was a verbal exchange just now. Dong Xiang wanted to consider himself the owner of this place, but Su You emphasized that this was his jurisdiction. Dong Xiang was not allowed to come in at will unless he gave orders.
Dong Xiang was also tactful, he smiled and said, "Introduce me to the prefect, this is my general, Qing Yijie Guizhang; this is my childhood playmate, Wen Xixin."
Su You met the two of them and introduced to Dong Zhan: "This is the great monk Jiduo Gyaltsen from Tibet. He has been to India and the Dharma is profound. The great monk has a long-cherished wish to spread the Dharma in the Western Regions. I
I told him that Weizhou is very good, but he said that he must go to Dunhuang to see it."
Jiduo Gyaltsen saluted Dong Fei: "The monk has seen Zanpu's son, the eagle in the sky above Hehuang."
Dong Zhen liked Buddhism, and Heshi said: "I heard the name of Monk Jida in the Qing and Tang Dynasties. I am very happy to see him today."
The arrangements have been made over there, and Su You invited everyone to take their seats.
Everyone talked about Buddhism together for a while, and Dong Zhen admired Jiduo Gyaltsen even more and said: "Now, both the Song Dynasty and Xixia are enemies. If the master wants to enter Xia from the Song Dynasty and the Qingtang Dynasty, I am afraid there will be some obstacles. How about that?
I went to Qingtang as a guest and prayed for my father by the way. My mother is also a Buddhist and pious."
Su You waved his hands: "Then you will take him away in a moment and pretend that I have never seen him before. He is thinking about sneaking across the border all day long. Isn't this causing trouble for me?"
Ji Duo Gyaltsen was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Thank you Yeshe Weishe for your hospitality for many days, and thank you for the Buddha treasure you gave me. I am really happy to see my people now. If Yeshe Weishe does not blame me, monk
I also want to visit Qingtang and pray for Zanpu."
Su You said: "You can't take that horse away, it's my Wei'er's future dowry!"
Dong Zang winked at Wen Xixin, who cupped his hands and said, "Yixi Weishe, it's not easy to get a horse. Whatever the value of the Buddha treasure you gave Master Jiduo, we will pay you a horse of the same value."
Su You smiled slightly and was too lazy to show off his wealth to the country bumpkin: "Buddha's treasures are priceless. I respect the master and don't pay lip service to it. We have been friends for many years and are used to joking."
Dong Zhan was slightly surprised: "How is this possible given the prefect's age?"
Ji Duo Gyaltsen smiled and said: "What Yixi Weishe said is true. Meishan is connected to the second forest, and the second forest is connected to the Niandi. The monk is a Jiandi person."
"Jiandi was named thousands of years ago in the Western Zhou Dynasty. It is the ancestral land of the Xixia people."
"Similarly, it is also the birthplace of Liugu Tubo."
Wen Xixin and Qingyi Jieguizhang were both Tubo people from the Liugu tribe, so they couldn't help but be very curious.
Jiduo Gyaltsen spoke eloquently: "When Tubo split in the late Tang Dynasty, the rebel army in the main area was called 'Bangjinluo', and the rebel army near the Han area called itself 'Wenmo'."
"Wen Mo was later divided into two groups. One was recruited by Jiannan Jiedushi Gao Pian. The leader Lu Yiyue led his troops to Moshui near the Second Forest of Meishan to assist in the defense of Nanzhao. The other group was led by the leader.
Led by Bu Gezhi, they migrated to Hexi prefectures."
"Most of the Hexi branch later lived in the six valleys outside Liangzhou City. This is the origin of the 'Liugufan'. Our branch has lived in Song County for generations, and is engaged in farming and handicrafts.
"
"This branch of the Liugu tribe passed through the Zhebu Gezhi, Zhebu Ayudan, Zhebu Yulongbo, and Zhebu Youlongbo. When they arrived at the Panluo branch, they planned to kill Li Jiqian, the leader of the Dangxiang people, and were killed by Li Jiqian.
The murder of his son Li Deming left our Hexi tribe leaderless and scattered."
"It wasn't until Zanpu showed his talents, moved to Qingtang, called on the tribes, and defeated Yuan Hao in Hehuang that we reached the current situation."
Dong Felt suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is how our clan has changed over the past few hundred years."
Su You asked Shi Wei to take out a set of wooden bowls. The inside of the wooden bowls was the color of logs and had a smooth texture. It was soaked in butter to show the beautiful wood grain. The outside was made of vermilion lacquer and outlined with brass silk threads.
The patterns are exquisite and luxurious.
Jiduo Gyaltsen handed the bowl to Dong Fei: "Our ancestral homeland is rich in fragrant pine, and because it was once under the jurisdiction of Panluo, it is also called Songpan."
After saying that he made ghost seals for Dong Zhan and Qingyi, Wen Xixin poured butter tea and said: "This is a wooden bowl made of fragrant pine. The three children who have been away from their homeland for a long time, please feel the wind of the ancestral land.
And the breath of the earth..."
Jiduo Gyaltsen sang an ancient epic, and the three of them gently tasted butter tea along with the singing, with pious expressions on their faces, as if they really felt the atmosphere of Songpan Highlands and the call of the Tibetan ancestors of the Six Valleys.
After singing the song and finishing the milk tea, the three of them seemed to have received a spiritual baptism.
Dong Xiang clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you so much, master."
