Chapter 342 The Chieftain

I don’t know what Xi Yingzhen experienced after entering Tibet. This disciple of my disciple slept until dark before he woke up. He was still awakened by the sound of drums and music that were beating...

Just as the sky was getting dark, a group of Tibetans in auspicious clothes beat the local musical instruments and stopped the convoy. Then a middle-aged man in a silk cotton robe held Hada with his hands and came to Guibugui's carriage, and said to the car door: "When the sun rises in the morning, a golden eagle from the east comes to report the good news - saying that a noble man has come to Tibet and let us receive it diligently...Dignified guests, please get off the car and accept our Hada in Tibet..."

This middle-aged Tibetan seemed to be singing, but he spoke a non-standard Chinese language from his mouth. Seeing him circling around the car, Gui Bugui smiled and opened the car door and walked down. As soon as the old man's feet fell to the ground, a white Hada was hung on his neck...

"What are you saying, why are you so etiquette..." Gui Bugui accepted Hada with a smile and continued to say to the middle-aged Tibetan: "I don't understand the rules here, who... takes two hundred taels of gold back gift..."

When he heard Gui Bugui wanted to return the gift, the middle-aged Tibetan hurriedly explained: "Big Boss, you misunderstood. I am the local toast, Jiewang, and I am a friend of the shop manager in the Sishui, Lhasa. I heard that the boss would pass by my land, so I rushed over with the kids in the village early in the morning..."

When this toast named Jie Wang spoke, the men and women behind him took out Hada and hung it around his neck when they saw the people in the convoy. After a while, almost everyone's neck was hung on Hada.

At this time, the heads of Jiewang continued, "It's getting late, the sky is getting late. You should go to my village to rest. After knowing the news that you are going to pass by, I have asked the children to clean the village inside and out. I have asked someone to prepare the best butter tea and barley wine, and invite all the distinguished guests to try our Tibetan crafts."

Originally, Gui Bugui had already ordered someone to find a flat and dry place to camp, but now he saw that the chieftain of Jiewang was so enthusiastic. He made the decision and asked the chieftain of Jiewang to get on the car together. Then the large group of people marched towards the chieftain of Jiewang to the town.

While he was still on the road, Gui Bugui talked about family matters with Jie Wang. It turned out that this Tibetan was still relying on the power of the Sishui family and the dishes were served as the toast. Originally, Jie Wang was an ordinary fur dealer, but later when he went to Lhasa to sell goods, he got involved in the Sishui family's manager.

Seeing that he was smart in his work and could speak Chinese, the manager promoted him especially, and he would buy any fur from Jiewang first. Then he gave him a list of Tibetan goods to buy for the Sishui No. 1, and asked Jiewang to buy goods for the Sishui No. 1. In a few years, he made a lot of money and became the son-in-law of the local toast.

Because his father-in-law had no son, he gave Jiewang the title of Tusi and the property under his name to Jiewang after his death. After becoming a Tusi, Jiewang continued to work for the Sishui No. 1, and had become the most powerful Tusi within a radius of hundreds of miles. I heard that the great boss of the Sishui No. 1 had to do his best to make friends.

After hearing Jie Wang's self-introduction, Xi Yingzhen, who was awakened, yawned and said to him: "Master Dao, why did you knock outside in the middle of the night? You thought someone would do the wedding... By the way, since you are the most powerful chieftain here, you must have heard of the Tong Buddhist Temple?"

"Is the distinguished guest talking about the Great Buddha Temple? It is the most effective temple here. I went to the Great Buddha Temple to seek future, but the next year I received a list of Sishui. Then I took the position of the chieftain step by step." Although Jiewang is a Tibetan, he has been following the people of Sishui for a long time and has a lot of scruples. Seeing that the big boss has flattered this poor old man, he continued to say with a smile: "Now every year I still have to take my children to the Great Buddha Temple to fulfill my wishes. The woman at home has given me three daughters. My family business cannot be cheaper than my son-in-law..."

The chieftain of Jiewang was benefiting from his father-in-law, but he didn't want his son-in-law to take advantage of him. Gui Bugui, who made him laugh, had the old guy's laughter yet, and before the old man's laughter ended, he heard Wu Mian say to Jiewang: "I heard that there are many legends in the Great Buddha Temple, which can make people resurrect from the dead and the dead souls can also be reunited. Have you heard of this?"

"I have heard of it, I have heard of it. In the past, there were people who took the dead to seek resurrection..." After laughing, Jie Wang continued, "There are many rules in the Great Buddha Temple. Many Tibetans carried their newly-dead relatives and asked the speakers inside to cast magic and resurrection. As a result, they were beaten out, and the dead were burned directly at the entrance of the temple. Because this is the decree of the Buddha in the temple, no one dared to resist. In fact, they don't know that not everyone can be resurrected. This depends on fate, let me show you this..."

When he said this, Jie Wang took out a string of Buddhist beads from his neck, and asked Wu Mian and Gui Bugui and other distinguished guests to take a look, and then said proudly: "This is the reward from the loudspeaker of the Great Buddha Temple. With this string of Buddhist beads, I can be resurrected once after I die. This is what Kuofu saw that I have a fate with the Buddha, so he rewarded..."

Gui Bugui took the Buddhist beads and took a look. There was a Sanskrit behind each Buddhist bead. It was a sentence that was connected - the Buddha's blessing, and he would be reborn after his death and avoid reincarnation once...

After returning the Buddhist beads to Jie Wang, Gui Bugui smiled and said, "It seems that it is an iron coupon for the alchemy book of our Han people. XXX has made contributions, but this coupon is spared from death... However, we Han people have learned the essence and dare not put their lives on this..."

After he finished speaking without going back, Wu Mian had already planned his words. The white-haired man looked at the top of Jie Wang and continued, "Let's talk about your Big Buddha Temple. Are there any other legends besides these?"

The chieftain of Jiewang smiled and said to Wu Mian: "The honorable guest cannot be called legend. Many things in the Great Buddha Temple are based on evidence, as if I were like me, my grandfather's generation was still a serf, and shed cattle for the toast master. Later, when I passed by the Great Buddha Temple, I gave all the money from the toast last time to the Buddha. As a result, my slave family was wiped out because I saved the life of the toast master. And I, if it weren't for the protection of the Buddha, how could I become a chieftain? My grandfather was still a serf, and now I dare not think about it..."

"So are there any greater miracles? For example, you saw someone who was really resurrected from the dead?" Gui Bugui smiled and continued to say to Toshi Jiewang: "Or, Toshi, do you know who is resurrected from the dead? You are not the only one who is destined to be with the same Buddhist temple, right?"

When he said this, Jie Wang was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said, "This kind of thing is not easy to inquire. Once you anger Lord Buddha, you will take back the opportunity to get resurrection with my hard work. That would be too troublesome... When you arrived at the village, several distinguished guests had already arranged a banquet. Please invite the distinguished guests to taste the best butter tea and barley wine in Tibet..."

At this time, the convoy had arrived in front of the village of Jiewang Tusi. Another team had been prepared here. Dozens of Tibetan girls were singing and dancing in front of the car, and then presented Hada to everyone in the car.

After getting off the bus, a Tibetan woman of about the same age as the chieftain, accompanied by three men, three women and six young people, surrounded by a group of Tibetans. However, these people did not understand Chinese. After speaking a string of Tibetan language for Wu Mian, Jiewang Chieftain personally translated and said: "This is my woman, and behind it is my daughter and son-in-law. They invited the distinguished guests to have dinner in the village. They just slaughtered a yak in the morning and made a special trip to entertain all the distinguished guests..."

At this time, a Tibetan who looked like a housekeeper ran to the ear of Toast Yewang and whispered a few words. After hearing this, Toast Yewang immediately changed his expression and said to everyone: "The trumpet of the Great Buddha Temple has arrived..."
