"What is it?"

"The tradition of the herdsmen, when a person dies, it is handed over to the monastery, the person is cut open and fed to the vultures. ”

"Cut?

"What do you say? Fan Yang didn't want to explain to him: "Don't worry so much, it's something from ancient times, it's long gone now, eat something, let's go explore the road first." ”

The two of them ate some compressed biscuits and beef jerky, and continued on their way.

As the temple gets closer and closer, it can be concluded that it is undoubtedly a ruined temple.

The road is also very quiet, and there is no trace of human life in sight.

"Those poachers should be gone, right?" asked Missing Door.

"Well, not necessarily, let's go inside. ”

After walking a little further, I finally reached the foot of the mountain and came into contact with the main peak of Mount Zakin.

Seeing something from a distance, the two of them were shocked.

I saw that at the foot of the mountain in the distance, there was a two- or three-meter-high mani pile.

"Huh, there's a mani pile in this place?" Fan Yang said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

The herdsmen have a primitive worship of piling up large and small stones, no matter what shape, on these stone slabs are engraved with six-character mantras in red pigment, and various scriptures from the ancient Nyingma religion, called Mani Dui.

In the center of the Mani pile, some of them are buried with weapons, hidden knives, demon pestles or something, and there are five-colored cloth strips around them, which are said to be able to suppress demons.

These mani piles can be found everywhere and vary in size.

The 3-meter-high Mani pile is very large.

Even on the grasslands, it is rare.

The Mani pile in front of me is not only large in scale, but also in simple shape, the red paint on the stone slab is about to fall off, and the shell is also seriously weathered.

It looks like it's at least a hundred years old.

This kind of mani pile is very sacred in the hearts of herdsmen, and outsiders dare not touch it easily.

It is not surprising that it can be preserved for hundreds or even millennia.

Under the temple of the heavenly burial, there is such a large mani pile, what does it mean?

The two looked at it for a while, but they didn't find anything unusual.

Pouting, forget it.

But he didn't go far, and he pointed to the front and said, "There is another one." ”

A few hundred meters away from that Mani pile, also at the foot of the mountain, there is such a large-scale Mani pile.

Weathered pigments and layers of densely packed stone slabs complement the temple on the ridge.

It's easy to give a psychological cue.

"I feel a little chilly on my back. Said the lack of a door.

The two continued walking.

"There's another one. ”

"How can there be another one. ”

The two found that every few hundred meters, there was such a large Mani pile.

"Couldn't it be a circle around the foot of the mountain?" Fan Yang said.

He knows that the herdsmen have this custom of turning mountains and temples, and the most important activities are also turning mountains and temples, reciting scriptures, and turning prayer wheels by hand.

Could it be that the monks in the temple used to pile it up?

On such a large scale?

In addition to a few mani piles, there is also a monastery on the ridgeline.

There is no trace of artificiality.

No poachers were found.

There is a snowy peak in front of you.

Like a pyramid, it stands on a plateau.

At the foot of the mountain, you can clearly observe the shape of the peak.

Missing a gate said, "Just such a mountain?"

"And what are you going to do?"

Looking at the vertical altitude of less than 1,000 meters above sea level, the distance to the top is bare, the bottom is large, the top is sharp, and the peak is covered with a thin layer of snow, and he said with a little disappointment: "Climbing up is called mountaineering?"

"Yes, this is just an entry-level snow-capped mountain, there is no cloud top on it, and it doesn't make much sense to climb it, like Siguniang Mountain, which is also 5,000 meters above sea level, with cloud top and no cloud top are completely two concepts, with cloud top, you climb to the top of the peak, layers of clouds and mist, it gives people the illusion of stepping on the sea of clouds. ”

The three of them broke in with confidence, and when they really reached the foot of the mountain, they were like mountaineers, more or less, they would be a little disappointed.

Because on the snow-capped mountains, there is no scenery at all.

At this altitude, there is not even grass.

Due to long-term weathering, the surface of the rock has no soil, and the lines are extremely hard and rough.

The two of them had come to look for the poachers, and before they had taken the last stretch of the river, they were standing at the foot of the mountain, and all they could see was the ridgeline, and when they reached the bottom of the mountain, they didn't know what to do.

"What's next? This is the main peak? Shall we go back?" asked the missing one.

Fan Yang observed for a while and shook his head, it seems that there is no need to reach the top.

Looking at this, it is a bare snowy peak.

There can be no gold on the top of the mountain.

Even if there is gold, with the strength of a few of them, it will definitely not be able to be mined.

The two walked along the ridgeline today to see if there were any poachers camping here and to determine if there was any danger.

I'm not going to go any further.

There are two peaks and three peaks behind the main peak, and God knows when to turn around the foot of the mountain.

No obvious threat was found, and that was enough.

"Let's go back, those poachers should be gone, let's be careful, follow the river and go in to see if there are any caves." ”

Several people have communicated before, and it is very likely to go deep into the mountain along the golden vein of the river.

See if there is a glacier at the foot of the mountain, and it is best to find a cave.

Mountain water generally originates from within.

It's like Mount Zakin, there is no water outside, just snow on the summit.

The amount of melt will wet the foot of the mountain at most, and it will not form a river at all.

The source of mountain rivers flows from the inside of the mountain, from the mountain.

The interior of the mountain is more intricate, the waterways are vertical and horizontal, and the karst caves in the mountain are generally very valuable.

It can be said to be a natural mine.

After the flash flood, the mineral deposits inside will appear cleaner.

Quartz, crystals, stalagmites, some geological peculiarities, many gemstones, agate, and dry corals can also be found in this place.

Copper ore in general, iron ore, is also very likely to be found.

If you look along the river, you will always find an outlet for the water.

The two of them turned and walked back.

But after taking two steps, the originally lazy pitter suddenly stopped.

Looking at a mani mound in front of you.

They came across three mani piles along the way.

This is the largest one.

These stone slabs are large and small, very irregular, and there are gaps in both horizontal and vertical directions.

Pitter's ears pricked up, and he ran towards the mani pile.

Barking at a crack in a stone slab.

The louder and louder he screamed, and he looked very annoyed, and he poked his claws into a crack in the stone slab, and dug into it desperately.

"Let's go over and take a look. ”

Fan Yang lifted the shotgun, pulled the bolt, and loaded the bullet.

The two of them ran over quickly.

Pitter was still screaming at the gap.

Fan Yang walked over to take a look and found that the gap in this Mani pile was very deep, and when he looked into it from the outside, it was dark inside.

"Huh, what is this?"

In the dark crack, there was a pair of eyes that flashed like small light bulbs.

Missing a door came over to take a look, and was startled: "Alive, what, ghost?"

"In broad daylight, where did the ghost come from, quick, bring your flashlight, I look like a leopard, that eyes are shining. ”

At the same time, he took a few steps back and aimed his gun inside.

Fan Yang was a little excited, on this snow peak, there must be no cats, if you find a leopard, it must be a snow leopard.

Can you see a snow leopard?

Fan Yang was far away, tied the piteer to the dog leash, held it in his hand, and shook it inside with a flashlight.

I saw a gray-brown figure curled up inside, stuck in the gap of the stone slab, still trying to squeeze deeper.

"What is this? night owl? Hey, it looks like a pheasant. Said the lack of a door.

"No, it's not like an eagle, come on, think of a way, let's poke it out." ”
