Chapter 481 XZ is over
Yan Jiekuang asked the children to take a simple wash. As there was still some time before evening, Yan Jiekuang asked Chen Liang to look after his sisters while he went to the balcony alone to smoke. Just as he lit up his cigarette, he heard a knock on the door.

Yan Jiekuang put out his cigarette and walked to the door. After opening it, he saw a Tibetan man in his forties standing at the door. He smiled and asked, "Dear guest, I'm sorry to bother you. Are you from Sijiu City?"

Yan Jiekuang asked: "Yes, who are you?"

The man said, "I am the owner of this store. My name is Gongbu Chilai. I am glad to see you."

Yan Jiekuang stepped aside and said, "Hello, too. Please come in. By the way, my name is Yan Jiekuang."

Yan Jiekuang invited Gongbuchi to come in and sit down at the Tibetan table. Gongbuchi said, "It's like this. When you went out, Zibudala, oh, the head monk of the special monastery in the Potala Palace, came. He asked me to tell you that he will come to pick you up early tomorrow morning. An elder wants to see you. Oh, by the way, he asked you to bring the necessary things."

Yan Jiekuang was very surprised. Was it so magical? He didn't even know which way the door of the Potala Palace faced, but people knew he was there to deliver something and they also knew he lived there. If no one followed him, then this would be extremely mysterious.

Yan Jiekuang nodded and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll get up early tomorrow morning. Thank you for the message, boss."

Gongbu Chilai waved his hand and said, "Your stay here is completely free. You can stay any time you want. Food is also free. This is Zibudala's way of expressing gratitude to you. You are welcome. OK, I won't disturb your rest."

Yan Jiekuang stood up and escorted his boss out of the room. Yan Jiekuang thought to himself, "I won't be polite. I went through so much trouble to bring the relic back to you. This is what I should do."

Yan Jiekuang stood up and went out to smoke, while Chen Liang and Chen Fang were in the inner room, yelling and teasing their daughter.

The next day, Yan Jiekuang got up at daybreak and woke up Chen Liang and Chen Fang, asking them to wash up and change into new clothes, not too bright, but something simple. After washing up, Yan Jiekuang returned to the car, put the sarcophagus in his briefcase, and then returned to the room.

Yan Jiekuang deliberately put on a new Zhongshan suit. He wanted to explain that he was just an ordinary citizen of Beijing and had no affinity with Buddhism. This was a sign of his rebellious mentality.

Not long after, there was a knock at the door. When the door was opened, three people in monk robes came in. The leader was a little older. He bowed first, put his hands together, and said, "Xiaobo Dili, distinguished guest, the elders of my family would like to invite you to the palace. Are you ready?"

Yan Jiekuang nodded, and holding his daughter in his arms, he took Chen Liang and his sister and followed the three people to the Potala Palace. Along the way, Yan Jiekuang did not expect it to be so far, so he went straight to the Red Palace.

After arriving at the Red Palace and walking for a while, we came to a two-story building. This two-story building was built in a room. It had a wooden structure and gave off a lingering Tibetan fragrance. The walls were covered with thangkas from bottom to top. When we reached the door of the stairs, the three lamas refused to move. The leader said, "Dear guest, please go up with the children. We are not allowed to go up. Please come in." He then made a gesture of invitation.

Yan Jiekuang took the children upstairs to the second floor, where there was a room less than 1.8 meters high. The height made people feel depressing. Yan Jiekuang didn't want to stay there at all. He wanted to do his job quickly and leave.

Yan Jiekuang was about to knock on the door when an old voice came from inside, "Buddhist guest, come in."

Yan Jiekuang and the children pushed open the door. The room was very dark. There was an old man sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform. In front of him was a long table with an open book on it. Next to him were a string of Buddhist beads, a prayer wheel, and a lampstand. The room was very small and there was nothing else except for these things. There was only a magnificent mural hanging behind the old man with three small characters on the right, which read "Kalachakra Hall".

The old man said, "Sit down." Pointing at the cushions on the ground, Yan Jiekuang then saw that there were three cushions on the ground. Yan Jiekuang sat down directly, and Chen Liang and Chen Fang also sat down in the same way.

"I don't know who you are, how did you know I would come?" Yan Jiekuang asked. The old man smiled and said, "My name is Daji Zhaba. You should have heard of my name, right? I should be in front of Wuji Cave."

Yan Jiekuang was shocked when he heard this. If he was Daji Zhaba, how old would he be? The old man saw Yan Jiekuang's confusion and said, "Daj Zhaba is just a title. Every generation of us who guards the Buddha's sacred relics is called Daji Zhaba. I am the most recent generation."

Yan Jiekuang suddenly realized that this was just like the Dalai Lama. Every living Buddha was called the Dalai Lama. Yan Jiekuang didn't want to ask anything more and wanted to get it over with quickly, so he took out the sarcophagus from his bag and respectfully placed it on the long table in front of the old man.

The old man nodded and said, "Thank you. Your past is now truly over. This is what the previous Daji Zhaba taught me. In addition, in order to thank you for your help, we must return three things as agreed. The first is the string of Buddhist beads on the table. It belongs to the first living Buddha Karmapa Dusong Qimba. The second is this scripture. It originally belonged to Toga Buddha, so it can be considered as returning it to its original owner. The third is what Dajin and Xiaojin brought to you. They are waiting for you downstairs."

When Yan Jiekuang heard this, he thought that this was a gift for each of them. What a good thing. The old man smiled and said, "I know you don't like staying here. Don't force yourself. Go."

Yan Jiekuang marveled at the old man's insightful observation skills. He quickly stood up and bowed deeply. Then he took the two things and went downstairs with the children. Before he reached the downstairs, he saw a small Tibetan mastiff lying downstairs, as if its eyes were not open.

Chen Liang and Chen Fang also saw it. Just as they were about to shout, Yan Jiekuang covered their mouths and said, "You can't shout in this place. If you have anything to say, go back and tell me. Chen Liang is holding it."

Yan Jiekuang took the children and looked around. Not seeing the person who brought them in, he returned alone along the same route.

When they returned to the hotel room, Chen Liang and Chen Fang were extremely excited and were busy feeding the little guy. Yan Jiekuang had no choice but to get a bottle from the car, mix two bottles of milk, and handed one to Nannan and the other to Chen Liang. Chen Fang was holding the little Tibetan mastiff and Chen Liang was feeding it. It seemed that the little Tibetan mastiff was really hungry. Yan Jiekuang lit a cigarette and went to the balcony to digest today's events.

Yan Jiekuang did not go out at noon. The boss here brought food enthusiastically. Yan Jiekuang and the children ate in the room. Chen Fang was very fond of the little Tibetan mastiff. She usually ate with her head down, but today she looked at the little Tibetan mastiff next to her from time to time, always wanting to put her food into the Tibetan mastiff's mouth. Yan Jiekuang told her that the little Tibetan mastiff could only drink milk now. She nodded, turned around and fed the Tibetan mastiff with a spoon. The little Tibetan mastiff actually licked it with its tongue.

While eating, Yan Jiekuang asked Chen Liang if he wanted to go out shopping together. This afternoon, Yan Jiekuang wanted to replenish the warehouse and refrigerator. He was really out of eggs and wanted to go out to buy some.

Chen Liang thought for a moment and said, "I'd better stay at home and look after my sister and the little Tibetan mastiff."

Yan Jiekuang thought about it and agreed that it would be inconvenient to have so many children around, so he nodded in agreement, but asked them not to leave the room no matter who came. Chen Liang agreed.

After lunch in the afternoon, Yan Jiekuang asked the waiter here and drove directly to the Niangre Road Vegetable Market. After a round, Yan Jiekuang realized what sky-high priced vegetables and eggs were. These things were several times more expensive than meat and were not particularly fresh.

Yan Jiekuang gritted his teeth and bought some eggs and vegetables. He didn't eat them, but his child needed to get enough nutrition. However, he also bought a lot of local potatoes and cabbages, and some apples. Finally, he bought a large bag of tea bricks. The boss said that this was unique to this place, so Yan Jiekuang planned to take it back as a gift. In the end, Yan Jiekuang paid nearly 800 yuan before he reluctantly left the vegetable market.

After returning to the hotel, I said hello to the boss and started filling the drinking water tank and the car water tank with water. Of course, I also kept two large buckets as spares.

When everything was ready, Yan Jiekuang told the boss that he would leave LS early the next morning because he had someone to worry about at home. The boss smiled and said that he understood. Then, the boss Gongbuchi came and brought a big bag of dried fruits and a big box of pastries, saying that they were a gift from the hotel. Yan Jiekuang did not refuse and accepted them.

Early the next morning, after Yan Jiekuang and the children finished their meal in the restaurant on the first floor, they got into the car and set off. Yan Jiekuang began his return journey, this time to Qinghai.
