Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 170 Harmonica, Flute and Politics

Danjong Wangpo, the king of the upper part of Tibet, fled back to his base in Shigatse. The first thing he did was to pay homage to his national advisor, Hutuktu Quyin Dorje of the Kagyu sect, and at the same time pay a visit to Shalu, Yangsi Duo, and La The Dibas of Zi, Suoba and other places ordered them to bring their troops and horses to Shigatse to meet up.

"Rinpoche, I failed. I lost the opportunity to unify the Snow Region and failed to live up to your expectations." Zangpa Khan's voice was weak and frustrated. This was his true state of mind. There was no need to pretend to be calm towards Qu Yin Duoji, who was also his teacher and friend, like he did in front of other people.

"There is no need to lose heart, let alone be depressed, Khan. Among the great heroes of the past and present, which one has not gone through many hardships and dangers before achieving great achievements? Didn't your grandfather Tseten Dorje endure the Rinbungpa family for many years before taking advantage of their unpreparedness? If you succeed in your righteous deeds, will you become the king of the upper part of Tibet?" Quyin Dorje gently comforted him, as if he were comforting his own nephew.

It is said that a monk should be empty of all four elements and should no longer care about the emotions of the world. But Buddha is also a human being, and he also grew up eating grains. During the long-term relationship, the great monk formed a deep friendship with Zangba Khan, treating him as his own relative and willing to share the risks with him even though he knew there were risks. Therefore, when his friend the great monk of Tianjin of the Sakya sect persuaded him to change his tune and support Suletan, he refused without hesitation. The Great Khan treats me like a teacher and a father, how can I be rebellious? Amitabha, Buddhist disciples must also speak the word "righteousness"!

"Great Khan, the old monk has compiled a book and sent me the abbots of 19 major temples such as Chubu Temple, Zhigong Temple, and Babang Temple, and asked them to come to Katse with monk soldiers to support you." Seeing that he lacked confidence, Xu Shi said The old monk gave strong support.

"Thank you Rinpoche", Zangpa Khan was overjoyed.

Not only the monk soldiers of the Kagyu sect came to support him, but also the private soldiers of the big and small Dibas from all over Shigatse. More than 10,000 reinforcements came intermittently, which also brought the number of defenders in Shigatse to more than 20,000.

Xin Xiaba Danjong Wangbo's military strength was revived, and the commanding generals deployed defenses in Langkazi, Lingsiben Village, and Niu'erzong Village east of Shigatse, vowing to fight the Mongols to the death.

The Brahmaputra River, called Yangchapo Tsangpo in ancient Tibetan, means the water flowing down from the highest peak. It originates from the Jiema Yangzong Glacier at the northern foot of the Himalayas. It is endless and majestic. There is a grand canyon in the middle, shrouded in clouds and mist, which is a desperate scene.

A red Dabo meditation hat with a unique style. Under the simple monk's robe, a handsome figure of about forty years old is admiring the river view, looking at the surging river water running through the Grand Canyon, and sighing at the greatness of the universe. "The four directions, up and down, are the universe, and the past and present are the universe." There is no power more magical than nature!
Suddenly, he became interested and sat on the grass by the river, with his back against a big tree. He took out a handle with two strands, a spring in the middle, the length of the spring and the strands, and the ends of the spring were filled with wax beads. Objects come. The name of this thing is "Temulhur", which is the harmonica. What an interesting monk! Hold its stock horizontally in your mouth, use your fingers to drum the spring, turn your tongue and inhale to make sounds.

The river is long, the autumn grass is yellow, and the sound of the piano is sad on the grassland

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooothe[inging]. This is the sound of Chuoer (a type of flute).

The player who plays Chuo'er is also a monk in his forties. He wears the Five Buddha Crown often worn by Tantric monks. He holds a green Chuo'er that is more than two feet long and plays it boldly and freely. Like resentment, like admiration, like crying, like complaining, the lingering sound is lingering, like a wisp, the music is full of nobility and integrity, the clouds are full of intention, and they would rather break than bend.

"Amitabha, it turns out that you are the great master of Dachen. After all these years, you are still as charming as ever." The monk playing the harmonica smiled faintly, revealing his teeth as white as jade.

"You haven't changed much, Master Chuzhu Gyatso." The monk playing the flute also smiled, "I really envy you! Living in this precious land of Dapo, I can watch the surging river every day and comprehend the exquisite Buddhist Zen. If you wish, you will definitely be able to achieve Taoism and fruition before us.”

"I heard that you do not practice Taoism, but practice the Thirteen Golden Methods of the Noble Sect. Like me, you belong to the Tantric Sect." The monk playing the harmonica laughed and joked with him. This monk is no small matter. He is the great monk Chozhu Gyatso of the red hat lineage of the Kagyu. Together with Quyin Dorje of the black hat lineage, they are the Dharma platforms of the two major branches of the Kagyu lineage. Although Quyin Dorje was named the national master by Zangba Khan, and the previous Red Hat Dharma Master Choji Wangchuk was killed by the lone wolf Arslan, the power of Red Hat is not as good as that of Black Hat, but after all, he can be regarded as a master of the same lineage. His position in Kagyu is very important. The monk who played the flute was not an ordinary person, but the great monk Daqin of the Sakya sect. His status in the sect was second only to the great monk Tianjin, and he specialized in the Thirteen Golden Methods.

These two are good friends. They both practice Tantra and are proficient in music. They both have good looks and look much younger than their actual age.

Chozhu Gyatso was stationed in Gangpo Monastery in the Dapo area, located on the north bank of the Brahmaputra River, so Daqin teased him that if he watched the surging river water every day and understood the Zen meaning of Buddhism, he could achieve enlightenment first.

After talking and laughing, Daqin explained his purpose, "I am here on the orders of the leader of Tianjin. I would like to ask you to persuade Quyin Dorje not to help Zangba Khan and Sarula Bilig Khan. Why should you care about monks?" Common things in the world? Amitabha.”

After listening to the dark music, Chozhu Gyatso said, "Who doesn't know that Sharpa Hutuktu in your sect is the master of Sarula Bilig Khan. If he wins the world, it will certainly be a good thing for your sect." What benefit does Kagyu have to me? However, now that the Huite people have swept across the snowy region, if we go against them, I am afraid that the thousand-year inheritance of the Kagyu will be cut off!
"Amitabha," he frowned, "Master Quyin Duoji values ​​​​love and righteousness, has a strong nature, and would rather break than bend. He is not like me, a member of the Buddhist sect, but more like a wealthy person in the world. I am afraid that this little monk can't do anything!"

The great monk Daqin nodded, "You are telling the truth. Then please strictly restrain your disciples and disciples and refrain from participating in this war. None of the monks and soldiers in Gangbo Temple can move. Is that okay?"

"Yes," Zhu Gyatso spat out a word lazily, and smiled casually: "It's rare to play in a chorus with my teacher, how about one more song?"

"Yes", Daqin also replied with one word.

The sound of harmonica and flute sound in unison, this is the best life!

Qu led Dracang (a high-status monk) sent by Duoji to Gangbo Temple, but was told that the great monk Quezhu Gyatso had wandered away and was not in the temple.

"Master, Quyin Dorje's envoy has left," the disciple reported to Quezhu Gyatso. At this time, the great monk was playing chess with another monk, Yi.

"Oh, did he say anything?"

"He said that Master Quyin Duoji would like to ask you to send monk soldiers from our temple to rescue Shigatse."

"Haha", Zhu Jiacuo smiled coldly, twisted the chess piece in his hand and slammed it down, "Quyin Duoji made a bad move!"
