For a trainer, the first thing to do when arriving in a city with a dojo is to challenge the dojo.

This habit is vividly reflected in Ash, and it seems that there is a tendency to spread to the earth.

“Let me see, Lasa Taoist Hall…” Zhao Xi entered the destination on the navigation, and then pointed to the largest road, “Go this way.” ”

With Nazi and Lalulasi, Zhao Xi officially set foot in this city full of faith.

The architecture of Lasa is very atmospheric, with flat-roofed white buildings next to each other, black-framed doors and windows decorated with beautiful short wrinkled curtains, and colorful prayer flags flying on the roofs of homes. The architectural style is unique, the colors are vivid, whether from the color, shape will leave a deep impression, and there are many explanations, or religion, or customs, showing the deep deposition of Tibetan culture.

And, you may not believe it, but the Lasa Taoist Hall – also called the Yuanzhu Taoist Hall – is actually located in the Jokhang Temple.

In the minds of Tibetan Buddhist believers and even ordinary Tibetans, Jokhang Temple has an extremely high status and is a sacred place in their minds. As for the Potala Palace, which is very famous outside, it has a low status, at best, it is a palace respected by the local residents.

The Taoist hall is located inside the Jokhang Temple, which shows the respect for the status of the Taoist hall. It can be said that the owner of the Yuanzhu Taoist Hall, Song, has a status equal to or even more than the number one in Lasa City.

That’s a long story.

If you really want to understand, you have to start with the identity of the person ‘Song’ in the elven world.

The Bell Pagoda is a sacred place in the hearts of Buddhists in the elven world, and the monks inside the Bell Pagoda have served the super-divine beast – the Phoenix King for generations. Therefore, the monks of the Bell Pagoda have a very high reputation and status in the local area. As for ‘Song’, he has the identity of ‘the first big disciple of the Bell Tower’.

Although the Buddhism of the earth is huge, it can’t hold the special power on the elven world. There was no need for state compulsory arrangements at all, as soon as Matsu arrived at Lasa, he just showed a trace of his own Buddha nature, and he was rumored to be the reincarnation of a living Buddha…..

So Song’s status here is very high, and his status in the elven world is probably higher.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Zhao Xi, along the navigation, he and Nazi came to the outside of the Jokhang Temple – Barkhor Street with a clear purpose.

Walking into Barkhor Street is like stepping into the legendary circular world. With a circumference of 1.5 kilometers and a width of about 9 meters, Bakuo Street has a beautiful arc, lined with old-fashioned storage houses, and there are several giant incense burners in the center of the street, which are filled with fireworks day and night, exuding a special fragrance of pine oil.

“In Tibetan, ‘Barkhor Street’ means the street that surrounds the Jokhang Temple.”

Following the crowd, Zhao Xi explained to Nazi while walking clockwise towards the Jokhang Temple.

“You can’t go backwards here on Barkhor Street, even if the Jokhang Temple is a hundred meters behind us, you can’t go back clockwise, you have to turn clockwise.”

People liken Barkhor Street to a big clock, and the magnificent Zhao is a clock shaft, and those devout believers are like hour and minute hands.

Every day, from sunrise to sunset, countless Tibetan Buddhist believers flock to Barkhor Street from all directions, converging into a colorful flow of people that rotates on this circular street with a center.

Following Zhao Xi, Nazi pointed to a beggar-like man wearing a dark red cassock and asked, “Those, people, in…. What for”

Although it was said to be stumbling, it was good that he did not respond with telepathy according to Zhao Xi’s request.

As Natsu spoke, the man in front of him, wrapped in strips of cloth and extremely wasted, clapped his hands and fell to the ground, regardless of whether the ground was flat and clean or not; Whether passers-by look at them or leave, as long as there is a gap, they worship in the direction of the self-righteous paradise.

Be religious, chant words, put your hands together, raise them above your head, bend down and squat, bang to the ground, stretch your hands as far forward as possible, and press your legs back as hard as you can, into a vertical writing. Hit the ground with your forehead, bang, then get up, take a few steps forward, repeat the above action….

His forehead was stained with blood, his palms were calluses, his clothes and pants were tattered, his shoes and socks were torn, he was still religious, still persistent, and his bronzed face was tired but also spirited.

The crowd walking neatly clockwise around him seemed like a phantom to him, and the man was immersed in his own world, unwavering towards faith

Zhao Xi looked at him, the smile on his face turned solemn and admiring, and explained seriously: “It is pilgrims, they come from all directions, for the faith in their hearts, they perform the ritual of five steps and one bow, ten steps and one kneel, step by step to Lasa.” ”

“This, like…”

Nazi stood in place and watched, nodding thoughtfully. She does not believe in any sect, nor does she respect any super-divine beasts, and for Nazi, her own power is the most real thing.

“Don’t affect them, let’s keep walking.”

Zhao Xi pulled Nazi’s little hand and mixed into the crowd casually.

“Zhao Xi, your, heart, beat…. Soon. ”

“Ahem.”

Zhao Xi grinned awkwardly.

The heartbeat is fast, of course, Lao Tzu is taking advantage of you!

As if she hadn’t noticed it, Nazi tried to organize her words carefully, and then slowly said the shocking content: “If, yes, someone else… Before he touches it, he will be shattered by me. ”

For a moment, Zhao Xi was stunned.

But after three seconds, he didn’t let go. Turning around, he said, “There are many people here, you are not familiar with life, I am afraid that you will be lost.” ”

Bursting out of spiritual power, being able to scan the entire Rasa Nazi to say this kind of thing is really in line with this man’s state of mind.

Nazi was stunned, no longer said anything, and floated in the air a quarter of a meter above the ground, being pulled forward by Zhao Xi like a kite.

Strictly speaking, Barkhor Street is actually no different from the streets of ordinary tourist attractions.

It is nothing more than shops and tourists, and people of all colors stop and go. Or shopping, or taking pictures, or looking up at the sky, or walking with your head down. If there is a difference, it is probably the persevering pilgrims and the devout local Tibetans.

But when you’re really immersed in it, you get a different feeling than other tourist attractions. A faint smell of pyrotechnics lingers, this is the smell of incense.

This is Jokhang Temple…._
