Chapter Ninety-Four: The First Arrival in La Paz

Xing Jie was in a very bad mood.

However, this is normal, and it is difficult to have a good impression of the airport in La Paz after seeing the luxurious and magnificent imperial capital airport.

Without him, it's hard to live up to its name.

La Paz International Airport.

There was a mess everywhere, and Xing Jie thought maliciously that those so-called travelers from Europe and the United States like to come to this place just to show their superiority through the comparison between here and their own country. What kind of airport is this, for example, a long-distance passenger terminal, well, this analogy is very appropriate.

Compared with the discomfort of other travelers, Xing Jie and the three of them seemed much more relaxed.

This is also a matter of Mu You's way, compared with the Kangke clan's land, the altitude of more than 3,600 meters is really nothing.

La Paz's old town is full of those fly restaurants. What to eat is a big question. Forget it, Xing Jie is very skeptical that these restaurants, in addition to the owner being Chinese, even the chefs are all locals in La Paz, can make authentic Chinese food.

If you want to eat, of course, eat local specialties, well, here is an explanation, green vegetables are more expensive than meat.

What is best known here?

Barbecue!

Xing Jie muttered while eating La Paz barbecue: "What a sky mirror, garbage, liar." There are so many people who come here to travel in this place? Except for those baroque Spanish buildings, there is no difference from the mountain towns of our country in the eighties and nineties. Well, but this barbecue tastes good. ”

Basang was also smiling as he munched on the barbecue. For the dilapidation here, he said that there is nothing unacceptable, the Kangke people were much poorer than here, and they have only become rich in the past two years.

Besides, Cusco is not much stronger than this side, and when he and Aziz and Hall went for the first time, they were secretly surprised in their hearts. How can a world-famous city be like that?

Bolivia, Spanish is the language.

For Xing Jie and Basang, who can only speak Chinese and English, they have become mute. Fortunately, Hall is fluent in many Chinese, so he will be asked about Brita's location and contact with the hotel.

After a while, Hall closed the phone and said that Britta would come and pick them up in person, and by the way, they would enjoy the 'beautiful' view of La Paz.

What to say about this place, there is a huge difference between the old and new towns.

The new town has all the high-rise and modern buildings, and of course the most famous buildings are the basilicas left over from the Spanish invasion, such as the Basilica of San Francisco.

As for the old town, it is mainly built on the slope of the hill. It used to be an Indian settlement, so you should know what that means.

Many travelogues say that this is the precipitation of La Paz culture, but in Xing Jie's opinion, it is all nonsense, and it must be that people who have been there feel cheated, so they also let their friends fall for it. Get a few beautiful photos and write a chicken soup essay that purifies the soul, and a heavenly place appears.

But others are not blind, how can you say that this is so shabby? Simple, a matter of one sentence, who is in hell, whose eyes are in heaven, and so on, the propaganda slogan that fools people is officially released. In fact, there is no culture in this La Paz, and the little things of his ancestors have long been unknown where to throw them.

The high-altitude cable car was swaying and floating in the sky above the old and new towns, Xing Jie sat in the cable car and watched the scenery and kept complaining, the poisonous tongue was constantly spraying venom along the way, Britta just laughed at this, and didn't say anything.

I didn't see the legendary singing and dancing, but there were more than a dozen strong men. However, for Xing Jie, these people have expressed enough friendliness, after all, Xing Jie's fame is too great.

'Lucky Jie', 'National Treasure Excavator', 'Lady Luck's Own Son', etc., have long been famous in the whole circle. Recently, though, I heard that someone had come up with a new nickname, 'The Explorer of Ruins'.

It is said that it has been recognized by many people.

It's wonderful to have someone with such a high lucky value to be in the company.

What impressed these strong men the most was Xing Jie's atmosphere, and there were many people here who had carried out the Machu Picchu Ruins operation with Britta. I didn't do anything and got the 'pure gold' of the half-backpack for nothing! This is a choke for many people who didn't go.

As for Basang, they are also quite admired. In the past few years, Basang has followed his uncle to break into the world, and he has also made a lot of fame. These perennial outlaws licking blood with knives are no birds, but admire the strong.

And Basang's toughness is also famous in this circle through battles.

However, Hall was ignored, not to say that he was prejudiced, the key was that he was too familiar. He is different from Basan, he originally followed the magic hand, Aziz, for so many years, the two gangs have been fighting back and forth, and they have long been familiar with each other. In addition to the fight on formal occasions, the relationship is not bad in private.

"Coffee or tea?"

"Black tea!"

"Black tea!"

"Coffee!"

Britta glanced at Xing Jie with a smile and said, "Actually, you should try the coffee here, it's no worse than Cusco's." It's even a few points better, but it's not famous, so it can't be sold at a price. ”

Xing Jie nodded in agreement, but still smiled and said, "No, once I develop a habit, it is difficult to change." Now to begin, I need to know the details of this matter. By the way, the package contains the agarwood I prepared for you, and I specially asked a friend to get it for you, and it tastes very good.

It's just that I need to explain that there is no news about those petroglyphs so far, and Li Sishi said that they are very similar to the petroglyphs on the Quanji side of Qinghai, except for the addition of some styles from South America, the rest are very similar. My father-in-law didn't touch those rubbings, and I think you should understand why. ”

Britta glanced at Xing Jie approvingly, and said with a smile: "Thank you for bringing the tea, why don't you taste it together?" The person who will be a father is different from before, and he speaks and acts much more rigorously. I can also think about the petroglyphs, after all, the sacred tree over there is very important, which can be understood. ”

Accompanied by the fragrance of tea, Britta slowly told the whole story.

It's much like Emers said, it's all about finding gold in the holy lake. The place is easy to find, but there is no return. The only difference is that the entire South American branch is not completely wiped out, but disappeared for no reason.

"How do you know?"

"During this time, we basically dug up the place, and there was no trace of the battle except for some domestic garbage. ”

"Didn't you say there wasn't anything in that place?"

"It's that you think about the whole thing too complicated, the so-called holy lake, as the name suggests, is a pool of water. And in this part of Bolivia, there are far more saltwater lakes than freshwater lakes.

But one thing you have to be clear about is that the so-called holy lake is first of all an important water source of a tribe or country, and all people have to live on the lake, and over time people have worshiped the lake, which is the origin of the holy lake.

Although the Spanish basically wiped out the large and small tribes here, the lake could not be moved, and a tribe would definitely have a legend somewhere. I also read the original rubbings of the South American brokers, which should have been preserved from the fifties of the last century. As for why the branch people disappeared, it is the most difficult mystery we face to solve. ”

Xing Jie shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, saying that he was not good at solving puzzles. But since you promised Britta to go over with her to see if it's right, it's better not to give up too much hope.

Regarding Xing Jie's statement, Britta didn't care. Let's not talk about Xing Jie's luck, just talk about Professor Yang behind him, which is worth this high honorarium.
