At 2 o'clock in the morning, An Xiangfei came to my downstairs on time, and after picking me up, he drove all the way to the west. As you move west, the scenery on both sides of the road becomes different. But I still fell asleep under the swaying of the car, and when I woke up, it was already dawn, looking out the car window at the endless beach next door, An Xiangfei told me that we had driven into the legendary Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

I wasn't talking, and I couldn't help but feel distressed when I saw An Xiangfei's blood-colored eyes in the rearview mirror. He didn't sleep all night.

But my eyes have never left the world outside the car window, and everything about An Xiangfei's distress or worry about Makushu exists in my eyes.

For the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, I am extremely yearning, but I didn't expect to come here in such a situation this time, the sky here is very low, the air here is clear and clear, this is the last holy land in the world.

The largest plateau in China and the highest in the world. Most of it is in southwestern China, including the Xizang Autonomous Region and all of Qinghai Province, the western part of Sichuan Province, the southern part of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and parts of Gansu and Yunnan. The entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau also includes parts of Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, with a total area of 2.5 million square kilometers. With an area of 2.4 million square kilometers and an average altitude of 4,000~5,000 meters, it is known as the "roof of the world" and the "third pole". It is the birthplace of many of Asia's great rivers.

The beautiful Brahmaputra River also originates here, and how many beautiful legends have happened in this magical place. The drive is still the same, looking at the signs, we are heading towards the southeast of Qinghai Province, and all we see on the highway are some big trucks, as well as a few off-road cars that are particularly urgent. Even though it was a holy place, I was drunk in the face of this boring journey.

"It's almost there, and there's still three or four hours to go." Seeing that I was loveless, An Xiangfei tried his best to make me happy. Tell me all kinds of legendary stories along the way, but they can't arouse my interest, although I have pretended to laugh happily, but that's just that I don't want to spoil An Xiangfei's interest.

The eastern part of Qinghai is known as "the key of the Tianhe River", "the throat of the sea", "the Jincheng barrier", "the rush of the Western Regions" and "the throat of the jade plug", etc., is the birthplace of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Lancang River, and is known as the "source of the three rivers", "the source of the river" and "the water tower of China". Qinghai Province is located in the northeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the topography of Qinghai is generally a plateau of basins, mountains and river valleys. It is part of the Tibetan Plateau, the "roof of the world".

With the passage of time, after several repairs in the service area, in the evening we drove into the Qilian Mountains, and saw a giant dragon lying between heaven and earth in the distance, and across this giant dragon was the endless prairie.

There are no more vehicles around us that pass by, and occasionally a few antelopes are seen galloping in the distance, and as night comes, the whole grassland seems to be surrounded by night, and it is surprisingly quiet. A black off-road vehicle shuttled quickly to the nearest place to the sky, and the two lights seemed to be swallowed up by the night, which seemed insignificant.

Since Makushu's phone never got through again, and after determining that Makushu's last time and place was in the tomb, An Xiangfei found someone to locate the location of Makuxiu's mobile phone. However, on the map, it should be in the depths of the grassland. So An Xiangfei prepared enough fuel and drove straight along the positioning position.

Because Qinghai belongs to the continental climate of the plateau, it has the characteristics of low temperature, large temperature difference between day and night, less and concentrated rainfall, long sunshine and strong solar radiation. Winters are cold and long, and summers are cool and short. So in the middle of the night, I still feel a little cold when I sit in the car in time. An Xiangfei had to turn on the air conditioner. At about 12 o'clock in the evening, Makushu said that the road ahead was getting harder and harder, and besides, in order to avoid accidents, and the two of us had to take a good rest, after all, we hadn't rested for more than a day. So I decided to continue driving tomorrow morning.

After closing the car door and opening the corner of the window, An Xiangfei lay on the front seat and fell asleep quickly, yes, he was too tired, and although I was very sleepy, I was completely sleepy in the face of the sky of the prairie, the starry sky with a low head, I was completely sleepy, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, thinking about being in the hinterland of this vast prairie. At this time, we are so small, but think about it, maybe only by looking at the stars in the sky at this moment may be possible to peek into the mystery of the universe.

At night, there were occasional cries of unknown animals and the occasional roar of the wind, and we were glad that we still had such a place to hide. Otherwise, I would have been swallowed up by the night of this prairie.

A little light blue shimmer under the night seems to be sparkling, perhaps it is an absolute novelty for this grassland, I couldn't help but open Google Maps with my mobile phone, I don't know if I don't open it, I opened my originally dizzy head suddenly excited, it turned out that on the map, there is a big lake not very far away from us, zoom in, and suddenly show three big characters "Qinghai Lake"

Qinghai Lake is the largest inland saltwater lake in China, with an area of 44,573 square kilometers, and the lake level is 3,262 meters above sea level, twice the peak of Mount Tai. The deepest part of the lake is 32 meters. There are bird islands in the lake (Haixi Mountain, Haixin Mountain, Haixi Pi), Sanhuai Stone and Sand Island. Available for tourists to visit. Chen Yunhe's poem "Qinghai Lake" describes that "the magnificent traces that have never flowed out of the inland are reflected in the eyes of the Sun Moon Mountain, which belongs to a kind of majestic spirit of the water and the sky." Bird Island is located in the western part of Qinghai Lake, with an area of about 1 square kilometer, and there are about 100,000 migratory birds flying from southern China, Southeast Asia and the Indian Peninsula every spring.

Seeing this, I speculated that our destination would be near this Qinghai Lake, after all, there are countless legends here, and with my observation of the geography around Qinghai Lake on the map, it is very likely that there will be a large tomb.

Thinking of this, I suddenly thought of me for some reason that I was taking a bath in Qinghai Lake and playing around, I quickly shook my head, how could I suddenly have this familiar feeling, could it be that when I was a goddess a thousand years ago, where did I take a bath? No, shouldn't I be worried about the safety of shokushu at this time? Patting my cranky brain, I closed my eyes vigorously and slowly entered a strange and beautiful dream.
