I''m very glad to see us coming.


    After all, this season is the leisure time in Tibetan areas. There is no farm work to do.


    The whole family lived in this small hotel.


    But now it''s snowing and freezing all over the Tibetan area, and there are not many people coming to Lamu city for tourism.


    Now it''s not easy to welcome our wave of people. Can it be a good thing for him?


    Deng Ba came out with a smile and said hello to us warmly. He didn''t bother to help us with our luggage, which made us very embarrassed.


    "Boss, you don''t have to be so polite. We can take the things by ourselves." I said to Deng.


    Deng Ba shook his head at me with a smile: "no, you are the first group of guests that my hotel welcomes today. I have to show our Tibetan people''s pure enthusiasm. I can''t ignore you!"


    "Boss, we are all easygoing people, not so particular about it!"


    "Not so much attention! We Tibetan people are hospitable. No matter where you come from, as long as you come to the Tibetan area, we are all friends! Since we are all friends, I should take it for granted that I can help you get something! "


    Said, ascend, and took the suitcase in my hand.


    I had no choice but to let him go.


    When I entered the hotel, I found that there was a hole in it.


    From the outside, it''s too small, almost the gate can only accommodate two people passing side by side.


    But inside, it was a rectangular courtyard.


    Around the courtyard, there are more than ten rooms, large and small, surrounded by a small garden in the middle.


    However, because of the season, now there are no flowers in the garden, only some unfinished snow lying there, looking very lonely.


    Through the garden, the back row of houses is the bedroom reserved for us by den bar.


    Because of the difference between men and women, Ji Yunxi and I have one room each, Chen Feng and Li Manzhen.


    Deng Ba took the suitcase into my bedroom for me and said with a smile: "you are tired after a long journey, so you can have a rest first. When my wife has finished the dinner, I''ll call you."


    I nodded, then took out some red bills from my wallet and handed them to Deng.


    Deng Ba waved his hand: "no, I can''t take this. Mr. Chen has already paid us your room fee on the Internet. If I charge you again, it will be unkind. Gentlemen love money and take it in a proper way. Although I haven''t read any books, we Tibetan people have our own bottom line. We can''t ask guests for tips at will! "


    "Come on, brother, you misunderstand me. It''s not a tip for you to help me with my luggage. It''s something I want to ask you about." I explained with a smile.


    Deng BA was stunned for a moment. He looked at me and asked, "what do you want to know? What''s the matter? "


    "Then you have to collect the money before I can ask you."


    Deng Ba looked at the money and then at me, with a little hesitation on his face: "girl, you... Aren''t you embarrassing me? If you really have something to ask, why do you come here? "


    "Brother dengba, to tell you the truth, people like me who roam outside all the year round are more defensive. If you don''t take my money, how can I know if you''re telling the truth or the lie? And if you accept my money, even if you look at the face of money, you will be embarrassed to tell me a lie. In this way, your heart is stable, and mine is stable. Why not? "


    Deng Ba took a look at me and then suddenly laughed: "girl, you are young, but I didn''t expect that you have a lot of experience in the world! OK, I''ll take the money. If you want to ask, just say it. As long as I know, I''ll tell you everything. If it''s really something I don''t know, I''ll let my son go out and ask about it later. Maybe I can ask something for you as well! "


    Seeing that dengba was so cheerful, I didn''t have any more nonsense. I just put the money into his hand and began to make up a story: "brother dengba, actually, what I want to ask is not a big deal. We are from the Department of Archaeology of wh University. Some time ago, we dug a tomb of the Tang Dynasty and got some clues about the Tibetan area, so we came here specially to have a look, Let''s see if we can find something that has something to do with the Tang Dynasty tomb we excavated before. Brother Deng Ba, as you know, archaeology is a process of going back to history. Only when human beings fully understand history can they know where they came from and where they want to go! So what we are doing now is a great event for the benefit of all mankind! "


    Deng BA was stunned by my fabricated reasons: "girl, I didn''t expect you to do such a great job! I''ll answer your question truthfully, just for your greatness


    "Good! Elder brother Deng Ba, I ask you, is there any story in Lamu city related to the Tang Dynasty, or was it established in the Tang Dynasty? "


    Deng Ba thought about it and said, "if you want to say that there are a lot of things established in the Tang Dynasty, we have a lot of Tibetan areas. For example, xiuba castle, Jokhang Temple, potala palace and so on, all of them were built in the Tang Dynasty! "


    "Do these places of interest have any special myths and legends?" I asked curiously.


    Dengba shook his head and said in a deep voice: "no, it was basically built by the then king of Tibet, songzangan. Xiuba castle is used for military defense. The Jokhang Temple is built for Princess Chizun. You should know that the Potala Palace is built for Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty. Anyway, they are basically political. There are no myths and legends. "


    "Is there anything else besides that?"


    "Yes, there are, but they are not in Lamu city. They are far away from other places in the Tibetan area."


    Hearing this, I can''t help feeling disappointed.


    I thought I could get something out of dengba, so I tried my best.


    But it turns out that even local residents like dengba probably don''t know much about the ancient Tibetan area. How can it be helpful for us to search for the corpse of nuyu?


    I sighed and said to dengba, "well, today I''ll ask you first. If you want to have any more legends about what happened in the Tibetan areas in the Tang Dynasty, remember to tell me. I''ll thank you very much."


    Deng Ba looked at me, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "in fact, one thing happened in the Tang Dynasty, but it was very strange. I''m not sure it will help you."


    As soon as I listen to the word "weird", I feel energetic in an instant.


    "Come on, brother, what is it that makes you so secretive? Tell me about it. It may have something to do with what I want to know! "


    Deng Ba saw that I was so curious that he had to tell me everything.


    "In recent years, many backpackers like you have settled in Tibetan areas, but they know little about Tibetan culture and history. Only the old Tibetans know what I''m going to say. I was drinking with my father once before. He boasted too much and said it by accident.


    "About a thousand years ago, in the early Tang Dynasty, Songzan Ganbu fought a battle with the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. As a result, Songzan Ganbu lost the battle, so he had to beg for mercy. But he was also a hero in Tibet. Even if he asked for mercy, he wanted to earn some face for himself, so he simply took the opportunity to ask Emperor Taizong for peace. In order to protect the Central Plains from the war, Emperor Taizong agreed to Songzan Ganbu''s request, and ordered a distant imperial concubine of the Tang Dynasty to be named Princess Wencheng and married Songzan Ganbu as his queen.


    "However, Taizong of Tang Dynasty also put forward the condition to Songzan Ganbu at that time, that is, Songzan Ganbu must build a huge palace for Princess Wencheng in Tibetan area to show his love for Princess Wencheng. Moreover, the site of the palace must be selected by the special personnel sent by the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the man made a long-term investigation in all parts of the Tibetan area. After several months, he finally located the site in the mingmabri mountain in the northwest of Lamu city.


    "After the location was determined, Songzan Ganbu immediately sent people to start the construction. It took a lot of manpower and material resources to complete the construction before Princess Wencheng entered Tibet.


    "When it comes to Princess Wencheng''s entry into Tibet, it''s really magical. It is said that before she went to Tibet, her mother gave her a mirror to look at when she missed her hometown. But who ever thought that just when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she really missed her parents so much that she took out the mirror and saw it. As a result, she accidentally dropped the mirror to the ground.


    "Originally, if the mirror fell, it would fall. If it was too big to buy another one, it would be wonderful. The mirror is not an ordinary mirror, but a treasure mirror. Once it fell to the ground, it turned into a mountain, blocking the way of a river to the East, making the river flow back. The mountain is now the sun moon mountain, and the river is now the Daotang river.


    "But what I said just now is not the strangest. The strangest thing is that after Princess Wencheng moved into the Potala Palace, there was no day in the whole Tibetan area for three months. It was completely night. Only the Potala Palace on the mountain was shining with golden light. Moreover, in those three months, almost every night, there were different beasts circling around the Potala Palace, circle after circle, as if they were guarding something.


    "At that time, people thought it was a good omen that Princess Wencheng would come to heaven as soon as she arrived. So people in Tibetan areas, including Songzanganbu, especially liked Princess Wencheng and wanted to treat her as a living Bodhisattva. Three months later, the darkness of the sky finally dissipated. However, after the darkness broke up, there was no chaos of war in the whole Tibetan area. Every year, the weather is good, and people''s life is getting better and better. Until now.


    "Look at me. Now I''m well fed and well dressed. Although I''m not as rich as you mainlanders, we Tibetans don''t want to be rich. We just want to have enough food and live and work in peace and contentment. It is also for this reason that up to now, there are still many statues of Princess Wencheng in Tibetan areas to thank for her blessing! "
