my weird life

Yueru area, the territory of the 'Besa' clan.

The Besa family is the mother's family of the Tubo princess 'Besa Amoji'.

The clear river flows around the mountains, and peach trees have been planted on both sides of the river bank.

Hundreds and thousands of peach trees are gradually sprouting buds and growing green branches in the slightly warm temperature.

The high mountain peaks stood on the side of the river, and the slaves and subjects walked up the mountainside in groups along the steps dug out step by step from the foot of the mountain.

Some people go up the mountain with loads of dirt on their backs;

Someone carried the mentioned stones down the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, slaves and subjects were strung together by a rope. They were digging stones along the hillside of Shengong Mountain with clumsy tools. Stone ditch, the next team will spread loads of soil into the stone ditch.

Later, someone planted peach trees one by one into the soil.

watering.

Waiting for the peach tree to take root and sprout.

On the mountainside, the sound of hammers and chisels colliding with solid rocks was continuous.

Stone chips tumbled down.

However, for such a majestic mountain, only because people keep digging and "cutting the mountain" with their hands, they don't know when they can really cut out a flat land around the entire mountainside for Princess Besa Amoji to wander on the mountain. In the sea of ​​peach blossoms, feel the fragrance of spring.

The slaves and the subjects who were conscripted here were whipped by the overseers to get up every day when the sky was dim, and they worked until it was completely dark.

Even though he was working so hard, the process of "cutting the mountain" did not move forward too much.

The peach blossom season is approaching, and the completion of the construction period is still out of reach.

Everyone has unspeakable anguish and fear in their hearts.

'Quli Guanghaizang' was in the 'mountain cutting team' halfway up the mountain. With a rope tied around his waist, he led the crowd to cut the mountain at the forefront.

The heavy labor had made him lose the strength and desire to speak.

All around, apart from people's heavy panting, there was only the tinkling of hammers and chisels hitting earth and rocks.

Thick and grizzled beard and hair covered most of Qu Li Guanghaizang's face. He was digging the rocks at the front in silence, turning his eyes occasionally to look at the peach blossom forest on both sides of the clear river below the mountain, and relieved his pain. own fatigue.

——He turned his eyes again, looking at the small river flowing slowly down the mountain.

On the bank of the river, the nobles in fresh clothes and furious horses surrounded a beautifully carved and complicated carriage, passed through the peach forest, and went straight to the foot of Shengong Mountain.

Many monks in red and yellow clothes were mixed among the nobles in silk and satin, and their retinues stood around the carriage.

In the mountain cutting team that was so silent that only the sound of breathing remained, there was a sudden commotion.

The slaves, the subjects who were not much better than the slaves, spoke up.

"That's Princess Amoji's carriage. I've seen it from a distance before—there are such carvings on Princess Amoji's carriage..."

"Princess Amoji is coming to the mountain to see?"

"She saw that we didn't even complete half of the construction period for cutting the mountain, so she will punish us?"

"I heard that Princess Amoji has always been a kind and noble person. She believes in the sect of the Buddhist sect - we have worked so hard. She will not punish us when she sees us working hard. Maybe she will. Give us a reward, so that each of us can eat three more spoonfuls at night—no, five spoonfuls! Five spoonfuls of tsampa!"

"Just think about good things..."

Qu Li Guanghaizang listened to the discussion of people behind him, his face was expressionless.

People discussed for a while, and then fell silent again.

——The car surrounded by many nobles and monks stopped at the foot of Shengong Mountain.

Some servants in brocade clothes opened their canopy umbrellas;

Some knelt at the front of the carriage and used it as a footstool;
Some lifted the carriage curtains.

A woman covered in silk and beaded around her neck bent over and leaned out from the carriage, stepped on the 'footstool', and got out of the carriage.

The surrounding nobles and monks saluted the young woman one after another.

The young woman nodded slightly and said a few words before the nobles stood up.

They stood at the foot of the mountain, got together and said something.Surrounded by stars like the moon, the young woman walked towards the halfway up the mountain steps cut by the slaves—before the nobles stepped forward to the steps, several servants in brocade clothes had already trotted up the mountain. mountainside.

"Quick! Quick!"

"Why are you wearing such clothes, how dare you dress like this to welcome the princess?!"

"Has no one notified you?!"

A few servants in brocade clothes rushed up to the flat ground halfway up the mountain. Seeing the slaves who were working hard and wielding hammers and chisels, their complexions instantly became gloomy, with a hint of fear in their eyes.

All the slaves and subjects stopped their movements and turned their heads one after another, staring blankly at the few brocade-clothed servants.

The dozen or so overseers who had crackled their whips just now retreated into the crowd, and none of them took the initiative to respond to Princess Amoji's brocade-clothed servant.

The gazes of the brocade-clothed servants swept over many slaves with blank faces.

Surrounded by many nobles, the princess has already stepped up the mountain steps.

"No one informed us that the concubine and the nobles are coming today." When several servants in brocade clothes were frowning, a voice sounded from the crowd.

Accompanied by that voice, Qu Li Guanghaizang walked out from the crowd.

The lead servant in Jinyi hesitated for a while, sighed, looked at Qu Li Guanghaizang inexplicably, and said hastily: "Then be more respectful, and kneel respectfully by the side of the mountain road, the princess is coming up the mountain! "

After he had spoken, he led the servants around and hurried down the mountain.

The slaves and subjects looked at each other for a while.

Each of them looked at the tattered clothes that gave off a bad smell.

A small voice came from the crowd: "It is true that no one has told us, is the princess coming today?"

"Would we offend the princess if we dress like this?"

"But we have no good clothes to wear."

People were talking in low voices.

The supervisors who hid in the crowd just now were all waving their whips, shouting loudly, and ran out of the crowd: "Didn't you hear what that man said just now? Kneel down! Kneel down by the mountain path! "

"You are not allowed to look up at the nobleman!"

"Kneel down! Bow your head!

What are you still doing standing there? ! "

Snapped!
Some people were whipped, and they knelt obediently by the side of the mountain path, put their hands on the ground, and imitated pigs and dogs to salute.

Someone was whipped, but turned around and glared at the overseer: "We are the servants of Besa's sign, not your slaves! You bully me like this, I will go to the Zongfu to sue you!"

"tell!"

"Go and sue!"

"Zongfu Zongben is the third grandfather of our Besa family, you should go and sue!"

Snapped!
The overseer who raised the whip to beat the civilian laughed angrily when he heard this, and raised the whip again to beat the young man with angry eyes.

"Princess is going up the mountain!" At this moment, Qu Li Guanghaizang said suddenly.

The supervisor shook his whip in fright, and quickly turned his head to look at the mountain steps—Princess Amoji was still far away from the mountainside. He heaved a sigh of relief, glared at the young man bitterly, and said in a dark tone: "Let you kneel down!" Okay, don't kneel, and when the princess comes later, you'd better be like this!"

After speaking, the supervisor turned and walked away.

The young man was silent for a while, the resentment in his eyes gradually turned into humiliation, and he knelt silently on the ground.

Halfway up the mountain, slaves and subjects knelt on both sides of the mountain path, and several supervisors also knelt at the front near the mountain steps.

All were silent.

There is only the sound of the mountain wind circling and shaking the peach branches.

Amidst the waves of trembling peach branches, dense footsteps sounded slowly, from far to near.

The words and laughter of the nobles also spread into people's ears with the wind.

"Sister, when the peach blossoms are in full bloom this year, the peach groves on both sides of the Baixian River will become a sea of ​​flowers, countless peach petals will float into the river, and the river will be filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

And on Shengong Mountain, the peach blossom forest planted halfway up the mountain will be as eye-catching as a garland on a high mountain.

When the time comes, please visit this place with Zamp.

Hopefully by this time next year, you will have a child for King Zamp. "The gentle male voice sounded slowly.

It caused the young woman—Princess Besa Amoji to burst into laughter like silver bells: "My child will definitely get close to his uncle—because the uncle put garlands on the mountains and covered the rivers with flowers. , he can be born smoothly."

"It must be so."

"Hahaha……"

"Momeng, I heard that among some nobles nowadays, a kind of banner painting called 'Boduo painting' has gradually become popular. It is rumored that the Boduo painting came from Tianzhu, depicting many gods who bind Buddhism closely, the color Extremely gorgeous and complicated, using Boduo paintings as hall decorations has the effect of suppressing evil.

Have you ever seen a Bodhisattva painting like that? "

"There are many banner paintings like this in my palace.

In fact, it was formed by the combination of Indian Boduo paintings and our Tubo banner paintings by Indian monks.

This kind of Bodhisattva painting, with the skin of an old man who has done good deeds all his life as a carrier, can exert the most miraculous effect, followed by the skin of a young girl. Among the monks I brought, there are a few who are quite good at depicting Bodhisattva paintings, Lord Gongle If you are curious, you can communicate with them a lot. "Princess Amoji said.

Lord Gongle was very grateful to Princess Amoji, and said again and again: "Today, there are traces of 'Evil Ben' appearing in my home, and the local secret bondage monks can't solve it. He said that the only way is to invite you to describe the 'Dahetian'. Only by enshrining the Bodhisattva painting at home can we suppress the 'bad root'.

Princess, you are truly a bodhisattva. You helped me and solved my urgent need.

I have prepared a generous gift for you, it is on the carriage at the foot of the mountain, please be sure to accept it. "

Princess Amoji responded with a smile, and her voice was much gentler: "Uncle Gong Le is also a relative of our Besa family, why are you so alien to me?"

A group of people talked and laughed, and stepped halfway up the mountain.

The princess, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a rare fair complexion, looked around, looking at the 'scenery' on the mountainside.

——A section of flat road that has not been cut down far, and some peach trees that have not yet grown leaves are planted on the side of the flat road.

Many slaves and subjects were kneeling on the side of the road, their clothes were ragged, and the stench from their bodies made Princess Amoji feel sick.
