Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Songpan in northwest Sichuan is located in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River. Since ancient times, it has been a passage connecting Gansu, Qinghai, Sichuan, Yunnan and Tibet, and a corridor for the migration of ethnic groups from north to south. It is a strategic location that "strangles the Minling Mountains, controls the source of the river, is adjacent to Helong on the left, and reaches Kangzang on the right..." The main people living here are Tibetans, followed by Han and Qiang. The Ming Dynasty established Songpan Guard here, with 1652 chief officials and pacification officials to govern the "foreign people". In the ninth year of Shunzhi (), the chieftains of the snowy area east of Dajianlu (now Kangding, Sichuan) submitted to the Qing Dynasty, confiscated the seals of the Ming Dynasty, and continued the old system; the vast snowy area west of Dajianlu submitted to the David Kingdom and became part of Kangrong Province.

The aroma of grilled beef and mutton, tsampa mixed with butter tea, and the dancing of Kham girls, turned the banquet hall of the Axidong Tusi Mansion into a sea of ​​joy.

Sanglang Wenkai, the chieftain of Axidong, grabbed a piece of blood sausage and put it in his mouth, then took a big gulp of barley wine, and squinted his eyes to observe the guests. There were more than 20 guests, such as Buerjixi, the chieftain of Songpan Zhongying, Ledu, the chieftain of Songpan Zuoying, and Jianaba, the chieftain of Zhanglaying, all of whom were powerful figures. Especially Jianaba, who was not only a local chieftain, but also was granted the seal of the Zen Master of Evolution by the Qing court. He had many followers and should not be underestimated.

As if sensing the master's observation, Janaba smiled and took a piece of cheesecake and chewed it with relish. Buerjixi was not as calm as the monk. He waited patiently until the singing and dancing came to an end and asked, "Commander Sanglang Wenkai (rank six), you did not invite us here to drink and have fun, did you? Please speak clearly if you have anything to say."

"Yes, the Wei army's offensive is fierce. I just got the news that even the Qing Dynasty's Sichuan governor Gao Minzhan has surrendered to the Wei. Chengdu is now a Wei territory. The Wei army is very close at hand. You are always wise, so please give us your advice," Le Du asked anxiously.

"Haha, to be honest, it was not my idea to invite everyone together this time, but it was Master Janaba's idea. He said that my Axi Cave is a remote place, and it is perfect for meetings in secret," Sanglang Wenkai smiled and waved his hand. The singing girls, musicians, and servants who were serving quickly left, leaving only the chieftains, big and small.

Everyone looked at Janaba with admiration, because he was not only a chieftain, but also a master of the Bon sect, responsible for preaching in Songfan. Although since Sultan Khan, who claimed to be the incarnation of the Nyingma master Padmasambhava, took charge of the horse whip of the David Kingdom, the power of the Nyingma sect has greatly increased and began to preach in Songfan, the Bon sect still has the most followers and the greatest power in Songfan and even in the entire Jiarong Snow Region.

Jianaba saluted to everyone with a smile, revealing a row of white teeth, "It is indeed I who invited you all to come here. Just now Chief Ledu mentioned that Sichuan Governor Gao Minzhan surrendered to the Wei. To be honest, after Gao Fuyuan surrendered to the Wei, he wrote me a letter, urging the chieftains of our Songfanwei to raise the banner of rebellion and welcome King David's army. Today I invited you all to come here to discuss this matter."

"Gao Minzhan is as timid as a mouse, don't pay attention to him", "Yes, Wei Qing is fighting, even if we ignore him, the Wei army can't do anything to us"... When everyone heard the three words Gao Minzhan, they all showed disdain. This person has always been timid, and he always likes to run away in every battle, so no one bothers to pay attention to him.

"Amitabha! We may not give face to the Gaofuyuan, but you can't disobey the edict of the great master Sangji Lingba, right?" Janaba snorted coldly, and took out the letter written by the supreme monk Sangji Lingba of the Bon sect and showed it to everyone. As one of the eight great masters of the David Kingdom, although the Bon sect where Sangji Lingba belongs to has conflicts with the Nyingma sect where the Great Khan of Lotus belongs, he is the master of the David Kingdom after all, and he still protects the interests of the David Kingdom. The letter reads: "The Buddha told me in a dream that he hopes the world will be unified and wars will be eliminated. As disciples of the Bon sect, you should obey the great compassion of the Buddha, raise the banner of rebellion, and respond to the king's teacher."

The chieftains present all believed in Bon religion. When they heard that it was the order from the great monk Sangji Lingpa, they all clasped their hands together and said, "I accept the order." Seeing that everyone was willing to obey, Jianaba smiled with satisfaction and said cheerfully, "In two days, Feng Keyou, the lieutenant general of Song Fan, will hold a ceremony to pray for blessings. Let's start then."

Everyone has different reactions to difficulties. Some try to overcome them, some try to take a detour, and some pray to the gods. Since hearing the news that the Wei army was approaching, Song Fan Lieutenant General Feng Keyou not only sought help from Long'an Lieutenant General Xu Xueyi, the deputy general of Songpan, but also from the Buddha. Hearing that the Zen Master Jianaba of Zhangla Camp had profound Buddhist knowledge and great supernatural powers, Lieutenant General Feng wanted to pray to the Buddha through the monk. The compassionate Buddha, please bless the Wei army to look down on the remote Songpan and go north to attack Long'an Prefecture or Baoning! Amitabha! Disciples must donate a lot to the temples and offer incense!
After the news spread that the great monk Jianaba was coming to Songfanwei to hold a Dharma Assembly, believers from the Tibetan, Qiang, Hui and Han ethnic groups flocked to the Songfanwei city.

The monk and his group of hundreds of people marched from Zhangla Fort to Songfanwei City. When they reached Liusha Pass, they were stopped by a group of soldiers holding sharp blades. They were shocked. Could it be that they were discovered?
"Amitabha! Disciple Zou Wenke, the captain of Liusha Pass, is ordered by Feng Canrong to welcome the master." The leading general clasped his hands together with a humble look.

Jianaba heaved a sigh of relief, secretly laughing at his own suspicion, and solemnly clasped his hands in return, allowing Zou Wenke to lead the way to the Acropolis. Hearing that the great monk was coming, the people of Songpan were excited, beating gongs and drums, singing and dancing to welcome him. Don't underestimate these, as a gathering place for many ethnic groups, Songpan has a long history of ancient charm, "Three Ridges, Nine Pings, and Eighteen Passes, one gong and one drum to Songpan."

After entering the Acropolis, Song Fan's lieutenant general Feng Keyou personally welcomed the monk into the venue of the ceremony. The deputy general was very pious and asked, "Please ask the great master to perform a ritual to bless Song Fan, and ask the Buddha to protect Song Fan from the spread of war."

Jianaba secretly glanced at the meeting place and found that the chieftain Sanglang Wenkai of Axidong, the chieftain Buerjixi of Songpan Zhongying, the chieftain Ledu of Songpan Zuoying and other leaders had gathered there with their men. He nodded slowly and said: "Buddha has mercy on us. Please kowtow to the Buddha and pray silently."

In order to comfort the people of Songhan, Feng Keyou stood upright without hesitation, with his feet together, his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking straight at the Buddha statue, and then chanting the six-syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum". He focused his mind, clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, then moved them to his throat, and then to his chest, and then he prostrated himself on the ground with his palms facing down, his knees touching the ground first, then his whole body, and lightly tapping the ground with his forehead.

Seeing him fall to the ground, Jianaba winked, and a believer suddenly flashed by, holding a short axe, and chopped Feng Keyou's head open with one axe. Sanglang Wenkai, Buerjixi, Ledu and other Khampa leaders also led their people to kill everywhere, knocking down the unprepared Qianzong Zou Wenke and others to the ground.

"Namo Amitabha, Dotagata, Dodiyata..." Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, the compassionate Master Janaba silently recited the "Nirvana Mantra". (End of this chapter)
