Chapter 192: The Great "Voyage" Road
"Today's weather is not very good, otherwise you can basically see the honor of Mount Kinabalu here!" said the backpacker, looking into the distance.
Li Yang also knows that Mount Kailash is often surrounded by white clouds, and it is difficult to witness its true appearance, so he can't watch it from a distance, so he can only feel it up close.
While Li Yang was eating, he chatted with the backpacker again.
Maybe it was because he hadn't found anyone to chat with for a long time, and this backpacker also opened the conversation box and chatted with Li Yang.
And the more he talked, the more energetic he became, it was not the first time he had entered Tibet, it was the second time he had come to Ali, and the last time was ten years ago, when he was twenty-one years old, he also came on foot.
Coming to Ali at that time, he heard about an interesting local custom.
"Did you know that in the past, in this vast grassland, you could often see black tents, white tents. But the herdsmen or tourists who pass by can only go to the black tent as guests, and not to the white tent at will, do you know why?" asked the backpacker with a smile.
Li Yang shook his head, he really didn't know this.
"Because in Tibetan areas, when a girl reaches the age of 16 to be married, her parents will give some cattle and sheep to let the girl live in a white tent, and those who are interested will enter the white tent to tryst with the girl, and when the girl becomes pregnant and has a child, the girl will get married and become a new family wife. Therefore, the white tent cannot be entered casually, and if you don't do it, you will lose yourself!" said the backpacker with a smile, but there was some yearning in his eyes.
"Have you been in before?" asked Li Yang.
"Haha, I also think, when I first came here, I heard this story, and I really wanted to go into the white tent to try my luck, but the white tent is not so easy to enter, and the Zang girls are generally reluctant to marry foreigners!" said the backpacker, "It's a pity that Ali can rarely see the white tent now!"
"By the way, do you know that some Tibetan women will marry several brothers in the family at the same time, and when they have children, they will only call Abba, the eldest brother in the family. Here, a woman and a couple of men can live in harmony!" said the backpacker.
Hearing this, Li Yang was stunned!
Wild enough!
Of course, this custom is also derived from the harsh living environment of the Zang people, in order to increase the probability and number of reproduction, only some modern people find incredible customs can be transmitted.
"You should be two hours away by car to Kailash!" said the backpacker, "Are you going to turn the mountain?"
"I'm just going to visit this famous mountain, and I'm going to Pulan before dark!" Li Yang said.
"Oh, you're going to see the ruins of the Guge Kingdom?" asked the backpacker again.
"yes!"
"It's okay to take a look, but that's it, the earth city built on the dirt mountain, in fact, is not as interesting as the Zada Tulin along the way!" said the backpacker, "When I first went to Zada, what shocked me the most was the endless earth forest, which is said to be the ancient lake basin, and the strange landform formed by the geological changes of the riverbed of the great river for thousands of years.
Seriously, that strange landscape is the only one I have ever seen in my life, and the desolate scene makes me feel like I have come to another planet, which is really shocking. ”
Seeing the backpacker's moving expression, Li Yang knew that the scenery must not be wrong, after all, after many years, he was still so excited when he mentioned it, which showed that it really brought him a great shock.
As for the ruins of the Guge Kingdom, after all, everyone has their own preferences, and they can't follow the crowd.
After separating from the backpackers, Li Yang drove on, and after driving for a long time, Li Yang saw the holy lake like jasper, tiled on the grassland, Ma Pan Yongcuo, from a distance.
The view here is wide, there is almost nothing to obstruct, but the wind is also relatively strong, Li Yang drove along the path into the depths of the lake, the meadows on both sides changed color, with the wind like colorful waves, layer upon layer to the car retreated, the lake occasionally had water birds wandering leisurely, and flocks of antelopes grazing by the lake.
To Li Yang's delight, the Kailash Peak, which had been hidden in the clouds before, was faintly visible, and the clouds and mist that lingered around it seemed to show signs of dispersing.
After staying by the lake for a while, Li Yang continued to drive with great anticipation, heading towards Mount Kailash.
As Li Yang approached, the face of the sacred mountain became clearer and clearer, and from a distance, it looked like a holy white tower, majestic isolated on the top of the mountains, proud of the mountains, and the sense of majesty was self-evident.
On the way, you can see worshippers in twos and threes, walking towards the sacred mountain with their heads bowed.
After driving for another distance, the picture in front of him suddenly became clear, the original clouds and mist all dispersed, and the true face of the sacred mountain was clearly presented in front of Li Yang, which was really very visual and spiritual shocking, and it was awe-inspiring.
Li Yang is very happy, on the one hand, the scenery in front of him stimulates the nerves, and on the other hand, he is glad that he is lucky, he was still worried about whether he can see this sacred mountain today, but he didn't expect that his true wish came true, and the sacred mountain still gives face!
Li Yang couldn't help but start taking pictures, and then felt the majesty of the sacred mountain nearby, and met a few worshippers passing by, and said nonsense to each other: "Tashi Delek." ”
After staying at the foot of Kailash Mountain for a long time, Li Yang was still reluctant to leave, because he still needed to get to tonight's foothold - Pulan before dark.
After a night of silence, the next day Li Yang started the last stop of this Ali trip - the ruins of the Guge Kingdom.
Last night, he took a detailed look at the introduction of this ruin, and he was still looking forward to it, perhaps because of his personality, for this lost civilization, Li Yang had a diametrically opposite feeling from the backpackers that day.
When Li Yang was very young, he especially liked to watch things like Atlantis, Maya, Sanxingdui, and the like, and he also liked to watch movies like treasure hunting.
From the 10th century to the early 17th century, the kingdom of Guge lived in western Tibet, promoting Buddhism and resisting foreign invasions, and played an important role in the history of Tibet after the Tibetan Dynasty, but it was wiped out by a war in 1630 and has since disappeared.
Only the ruins of the broken wall remained, as well as many murals, sculptures, stone carvings and other exquisite religious art works.
For many people, "Guge" is like a miracle!
Over the years, it has attracted countless explorers, scholars, artists, and journalists who have traveled thousands of miles to investigate, explore, and hunt for treasures.
And when Li Yang went there, he also had a feeling of going on an adventure and treasure hunt in his heart, in fact, the feeling of entering Tibet all the way has always been like this.
In order to pursue the beauty of the distance and explore the mystery of the distance, all the way to the west, just like One Piece, to challenge the unknown wind and waves ahead, to find the hidden treasure, the thrill and full of anticipation, seems to be the truest portrayal of his trip.
Especially at this moment, looking at the surrounding sea turning into mulberry fields, thousands of ravines and forests carved on the land through the ages, and approaching the ancient civilization that disappeared and the ruins of the Guge Kingdom, which is full of unsolved mysteries.
Li Yang felt even more that he was participating in a treasure hunt.
"Eh, why don't I design a great "voyage"!"
A somewhat inconsequential thought suddenly appeared in Li Yang's mind......
A crazy idea that can help your future RV campsite, or even the ecology of the entire domestic RV campsite, be better.
