Chapter 474 The King’s Origin
On the first night in Kangding, Yan Jiekuang realized the extraordinaryness of the Great King and the Little King. Although he could not see it, from the respectful look in the Tibetans' eyes when they looked at them, Yan Jiekuang knew that the Great King and the Little King came from an unusual background.

Chen Liang and Chen Fang were sitting opposite Da Wang and Xiao Wang, watching the two mastiffs and watching them eat. At this time, Yan Jiekuang also walked over, squatted beside Chen Liang and looked at Da Wang and Xiao Wang carefully.

It was only then that Yan Jiekuang discovered something was wrong. He had never seen a Tibetan Mastiff before. Why did the Big King and the Little King have brown hair all over their bodies, except for the third eye above their eyes which was golden yellow?

Chen Liang asked Yan Jiekuang, "Sir, why do they have to kneel down and worship the great king and the little king?"

Yan Jiekuang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I guess it may have something to do with the Potala Palace, the most sacred palace in Tibetan Buddhism, our destination."

Chen Liang actually already knew that he was going to LS, so he didn't ask any more questions, but he was still full of curiosity about Da Wang and Xiao Wang.

Yan Jiekuang now has a strong feeling that if the big king and the little king go there, they will be left behind and will never be able to go home with him.

They did not leave the hotel at night and simply ate something in the room. He felt that if they went out, they would definitely be asked questions. Yan Jiekuang told Chen Liang that they would set out at dawn tomorrow and just eat something in the car in the morning and evening.

The next day, just after daybreak, Yan Jiekuang checked out of the hotel and left Kangding City with the children. The car drove out slowly without making much noise. Kangding City was extremely quiet at this time, with only a ray of sunlight rising from the east and the streets appearing foggy.

When the sun really rose, Yan Jiekuang's car had bypassed the Zheduo Pass and drove towards Seminong. Because most of the road was dirt, the car was not traveling fast. The big king and the little king had already got out of the car and were running happily on the road. Occasionally there were herds of horses and yaks of herdsmen on both sides of the road. The big king and the little king did not disturb them, but just watched from a distance.

When they arrived at Seqika Village, Yan Jiekuang parked the car at the edge of the grassland. Da Wang and Xiao Wang were probably tired, so they lay down beside the car. On the distant hillside, there was a family, who seemed to be Tibetans. Yan Jiekuang did not disturb them. He let Chen Liang and Chen Fang get off to play. He made breakfast in the car, heated milk, fried a few eggs and steak, and then prepared food for Da Wang and Xiao Wang.

After a while, Yan Jiekuang took out a folding table and folding chairs, placed them beside the car, and asked the children to eat with Da Wang and Xiao Wang.

He put Nannan on a folding chair, let her lie on it, and handed her the bottle. Nannan looked at Yan Jiekuang with her rosy face. She held the bottle tightly in her hands, drank the milk, and her eyes moved around, looking around.

The towering snow-capped mountains in the distance were dazzling under the sunlight. Yan Jiekuang leaned back in a chair, drinking a cup of tea. Chen Liang asked, "Big brother, have you eaten?"

"I'm done eating, you guys eat first, this place is nice, right?" Yan Jiekuang was very proud of the place he chose to dock.

Chen Fang was still eating an omelette, but she mumbled, "It's just like in the painting, brother, eat quickly, let's go see the yaks."

There was a herdsman's family not far away. The mountain should be their home. Yan Jiekuang only saw a child busy at the door of the tent. Two children in Tibetan clothes were looking at yaks halfway up the mountain. There was a black Tibetan mastiff standing next to the children, staring at the direction where Yan Jiekuang was.

Maybe the king felt the gaze, he stopped eating, stood up, stared at the Tibetan Mastiff in the distance, "Ao!" With just this shout, the Tibetan Mastiff suddenly prostrated on the ground. The king felt very satisfied with his masterpiece, so he squatted down and ate the meat again.

Yan Jiekuang was stunned. Not only Yan Jiekuang, but after the king finished shouting, the entire mountains suddenly became silent. It seemed that several people walked out of the tent over there, crawled on the ground in the direction of Yan Jiekuang, and seemed to be muttering something.

Not long after, a man, holding Hada in both hands, came towards Yan Jiekuang, followed by a woman, who seemed to be his wife. "Zaxi Delek, my distinguished guest from afar, Seqika, welcome to your arrival." The man with a weathered face walked up to Yan Jiekuang and said.

Yan Jiekuang quickly stood up, put his right hand on his heart, bowed, and said, "Zaxi Delek, I'm glad to see you. I hope my king didn't disturb you."

"No, no, it is the master of the plateau, not a guest, it is a noble god." said the middle-aged man.

The two people introduced themselves. The male host was called Tashi Donzhu and the woman was called Zhuoma. Their parents were at home and they did not come down because of their mobility problems. Tashi Donzhu warmly invited Yan Jiekuang to his home, and Yan Jiekuang nodded in agreement. However, it seemed that they were more interested in Da Wang and Xiao Wang than in Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiekuang packed up and drove to Zhaxi Donzhu's yard. What made Yan Jiekuang laugh was that Zhaxi Donzhu's Tibetan mastiff was following Da Wang and Xiao Wang and would not leave their side even when someone called them. Zhaxi Donzhu stopped the children from asking his dog Buji to go out to see the cows. Buji was his Tibetan mastiff.

Yan Jiekuang took out the liquor and tea he had brought with him as gifts and gave them to Tashi's family. Tashi Donzhu's old father and mother said they dared not accept them because they were too expensive. Yan Jiekuang shook his head and said, "Maybe you think they are expensive, but how can we not accept gifts from guests?"

Tashi Donzhu accepted it, and the hostess brought butter tea and some tsampa to Yan Jiekuang. The hostess took the daughter from Yan Jiekuang's hands, while Chen Liang and Chen Fang were taken out to play by Duojie and Doji. The herdsmen of this family had just given birth to foals in the winter, and now it was time for the foals to play.

Buji reluctantly followed the two brothers, while Da Wang and Xiao Wang unscrupulously lay on the carpet in their master's living room. Originally, Yan Jiekuang also wanted to ask the two guys to leave, but Zhaxi Dunzhu stopped him.

Tashi Dondrub asked Yan Jiekuang, "If I'm not mistaken, you are sending them to the Potala Palace, right?"

Yan Jiekuang was stunned. He looked at Tashi Donzhu and thought of the old people in Kangding City kneeling down to worship the great king and the little king. He immediately became interested and said, "Yes, Tashi, when I was in Sijiu City, someone seemed to have guided me to take these two mastiffs to the Potala Palace. I still don't understand why."

Zhaxi's father looked at Yan Jiekuang and said, "My son, you have a mission. You are guided by the Buddha to deliver these two sacred mastiffs."

"Divine Mastiff? What do you mean, old man? I don't understand." Yan Jiekuang said, looking at the old man's extremely weathered face.

Tashi's father thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you something. You know that the living Buddha's mount is a mastiff. In fact, there are no mastiffs in the Potala Palace. It's just that one time a little mastiff somehow ran into the room of the fourth living Buddha, Yundan Gyatso. The living Buddha said that since we met, it was fate, so he kept the little mastiff. Later, many people saw this mastiff. This is Gangri Sengge."

Yan Jiekuang drank butter tea while listening to Tashi's father telling the story. The big king and the little king seemed not to hear it, but when they talked about Gangri Sengge, they all looked at Tashi's father, which scared the old man.

When Tashi's father saw that the two mastiffs just looked at him, he continued, "This mastiff is very special. When it reaches adulthood, it becomes golden and extremely powerful, but few people have seen it. What surprises everyone is that over the years, there has always been a golden mastiff that suddenly appears in the Potala Palace. Some people have asked the little lama out of curiosity, but the little lama just smiled and never told them about their origins. He just said that this is the king of the snow mountain."

After hearing this, Yan Jiekuang understood a little bit. These two of his should be the offspring of that one, but they were brought to Sijiu City by someone, and by chance, were brought back by Tiantian.

Yan Jiekuang chatted with the family for a while, mainly talking about the situation and life outside. Zhaxi's family introduced some taboos in the snowy area to Yan Jiekuang. In the evening, Zhaxi Donzhu stewed a big pot of meat to entertain Yan Jiekuang's family.
