"Master, look quickly, the golden eagle is falling!" Just as Dai Yuxin had made up her mind about something, she suddenly saw a golden eagle dive towards a building and couldn’t help but shout to Xiao Yu.

Hearing Dai Yuxin’s shouts, Xiao Yu nodded without speaking. He had been staring at the golden eagle all along and naturally noticed it diving towards the rooftop of a certain building.

Upon seeing which building the golden eagle was flying toward, his eyes slightly narrowed because that building was Jokhang Temple. At this moment, an elderly monk supported by a middle-aged monk was sitting on the roof of Jokhang Temple.

The direction the golden eagles were flying to was precisely where the elderly monk was seated.

With their large wings stirring up strong gusts of wind, the two golden eagles landed on the rooftop of Jokhang Temple and looked at the elderly monk there.

The elderly monk, after seeing the two golden eagles land, trembled slightly as he stood up and walked towards them. At this time, the two golden eagles behaved like they were trained by the elderly monk, bowing their heads and emitting a series of chirping sounds.

"Could these two golden eagles be searching for His Holiness" Watching as the elderly monk approached the golden eagles while the birds remained calm and showed no violent reaction towards him, Xiao Yu couldn’t help but think to himself.

“Brother Li, Brother Lin, how is it Can we take action here” Upon seeing the golden eagles land on the roof, these two young men asked their bodyguards.

Xiao Yu’s group was on a rooftop about two kilometers away from where the golden eagles landed. These two young men were not very familiar with firearms and didn’t know if they could hit the golden eagles from this distance. Therefore, they turned to ask these bodyguards who were experts in handling guns.

"Hmm… It probably won't work here!" After hearing the young men’s question, one of the bodyguards looked around for a moment and then said thoughtfully.

Although their firearms had undergone some modifications that improved both range and accuracy, this place was still too far away. Furthermore, the high altitude made the wind very strong, so they couldn’t be sure if they could hit the golden eagles from here.

"Uh. Come on, let's get closer, this is a chance!" After hearing the bodyguard's words, the somewhat thin young man thought for a moment and said.

They didn't want to miss this opportunity; golden eagles standing still on rooftops are much easier to hit than when they're flying.

The two bodyguards nodded after hearing the young man's words. At such a distance, their guns could reach, but there was no guarantee of accuracy, so they agreed with the young man's suggestion.

Just as the two young men were about to lead the bodyguards off the rooftop, suddenly, distant Buddhist chanting sounded solemn and far-reaching, cleansing people's souls.

Hearing this sound, both those who wanted to leave and others on the rooftop looked towards Dazho Temple where the golden eagles were perched. This is because the chants came from there.

On the roof of Dazho Temple, an elderly monk had his hands placed atop each golden eagle's head. Surprisingly, neither eagle showed any sign of resistance, even leaving those who saw it, including Xiao Yu, quite astonished.

You see, wild golden eagles are extremely fierce and don't allow anyone to approach them. Anyone daring to come close would face their intense attack.

Yet now These ferocious golden eagles behaved like docile domestic birds—no, perhaps even more docile than most domesticated animals!

A while later, the old monk removed his hands from atop the two eagles. As soon as he did so, the chanting abruptly stopped.

After the chanting ceased, the elderly people on Xiao Yu's rooftop bowed in the direction of the old monk at Dazho Temple.

"Old man, what's going on here" Seeing these elders' actions, several middle-aged men and women on the rooftop couldn't help but ask them.

The bowing elders didn't respond to others' questions. Instead, they respectfully bowed again in the direction of Dazho Temple. After a while, when they finished their bows, they looked up and said, "Hehe, it's His Holiness giving empowerment; I never thought I'd see such an event for birds! It seems that this Snow Region Sacred Bird indeed lives up to its reputation!"

The elderly man, after speaking, gave a light glance at the two young men and their bodyguards. He had kindly warned them earlier but was met with insults instead. Seeing the Living Buddha perform an initiation ceremony for the golden eagles now, he couldn't help but look down on them.

It's important to understand that being granted a Buddhist initiation by a Living Buddha is a great honor. If a Tibetan were to receive such an initiation from a Living Buddha, it would likely earn him admiration from fellow Tibetans and high prestige within his tribe for the rest of his life.

If someone from another ethnic group received an initiation ceremony from a Living Buddha, they would always be regarded as esteemed guests by the Tibetan community. Therefore, regardless of who receives it, an initiation ceremony is a great honor. However, at this moment, the Living Buddha bestowed an initiation ceremony on two birds, clearly showing his high regard for these divine birds of the snowy region.

Hearing what the elders said, several middle-aged men on the rooftop couldn't help but change their expressions. Regarding the Buddhist initiation ceremony by a Living Buddha, they had visited Tibetan regions many times before but had never witnessed such an event, especially not one for two golden eagles like this.

However, the young men acted as if it didn’t matter at all, urging their bodyguards: "Mr. Li, Mr. Lin, let’s go! Otherwise, those two hawks might fly away!"

They had no idea what a Buddhist initiation ceremony was or that it held any significance. In their eyes, the Living Buddha was nothing more than a joke and a tool for controlling Tibetans; hence, they didn’t take the elder’s words seriously.

Their ignorance did not mean that the bodyguards were unaware too. Although they also dismissed the idea of the Living Buddha lightly, they still had to be cautious about it.

Furthermore, during their training, some documents mentioned the significant influence a Living Buddha holds over people. Thus, after hearing what the elder said, the two men looked seriously at the golden eagles and that elderly monk from afar.

Hearing the young men's words, they thought for a moment before saying: "Young Master Zhou, Young Master Wang, it seems we have no choice but to wait here! With the Living Buddha present, it’s best not to act rashly. Otherwise, you might cause trouble for your elders."

Killing the golden eagles in front of the Living Buddha could even unintentionally harm him; such consequences would be too serious for them to bear. Although they feared nothing themselves, they had families to consider and thus did not want to provoke unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, this wasn’t their mission. If the two golden eagles posed a direct threat to the young men's lives, they wouldn't hesitate to shoot them down, even in front of the Living Buddha. To them, completing their tasks was paramount; everything else was secondary.

The two young men exchanged glances upon seeing that their fearless bodyguards looked so dejected and helplessly said: "Alright then! We’ll wait here out of respect for the old man. But once those beasts leave, hahaha…

After hearing what the two young men said, neither of the bodyguards spoke; instead, they turned to look at the golden eagle in the distance.

As their eyes were on the golden eagle, both naturally placed their hands on their waists. When looking towards the Great昭寺far away, a hint of killing intent could be seen in their eyes.

This killing intent was a natural instinct; when they harbored murderous thoughts, this aura would naturally surface.

The moment their killing intent appeared, an alive Buddha standing on the rooftop in the distance suddenly turned his head to look here. When he looked over, instead of appearing old and dying, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, piercing through space as if it was looking directly at the two bodyguards.

Despite being so far apart, the bodyguards felt like they were being seen through by the alive Buddha's gaze.

The alive Buddha’s eyes emitted a bright and sharp light, yet still appeared very calm and peaceful, as if it had no harmful intent.

However, when these two bodyguards saw this look, their hearts suddenly felt a pang of fear. Instinctively, they quickly pulled out their guns and aimed them towards the direction where the alive Buddha was standing. At that moment, only their guns could give them a sense of security.

It must be noted that even when facing death, these two men remained calm and collected. But now, merely being looked at by an old lama caused them to feel inexplicable fear, how could this not make their hearts race

When the two pulled out their guns, everyone else on the rooftop let out a sudden gasp and quickly moved away from the young men and their bodyguards.

To ordinary people, guns still had some killing power. Even if they were just held without firing them, it was very frightening. Although these people on the roof had seen guns before and even brought them with them when coming to Tibet, seeing someone else hold a gun made them shout in alarm and quickly move away.

Suddenly, an old lama smiled slightly. When this old lama smiled, as if the entire sky seemed to light up joyfully. At that moment, the panic just now started to fade from the two bodyguards' hearts.ne wasn't him but a body double. He fled via land routes but still didn’t escape their merciless elimination.They also discovered the truth behind his defection. This guy had sharp instincts and reali...
