Chapter 6, The Journey of Xianzang

A gust of wind blew, Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun shivered coldly, although Xianzang was now summer, but the temperature was only about twelve to twenty degrees, Lin Luxian hurriedly took out a coat from the suitcase and put it on Lan Bingyun.

Later, a cyclist on a bicycle with a bag passed by. Lin Luxian hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the location of the no-man's land, and the cyclist pointed to the mountain behind Lin Luxian and said, "Then, have you seen it? After those mountains, and then walk more than a hundred miles, it will be a no-man's land! This no-man's land is dangerous, not only is there a lot of wind and sand, maybe there are wolves! You don't want to go there, right?" Lin Luxian said that they were going to the no-man's land. The cyclist shook his head and sighed, "You are young, are you not good to live?" After saying that, he shook his head again and rode away.

Lan Bingyun was naturally determined to go to no man's land! Lin Luxian also knew it, so he could only follow her to the mountains behind her. The mountains looked not far away, but when the two of them walked to the foot of the mountain, they had already walked for more than four hours! However, a young herdsman at the foot of the mountain saw Lin Luxian and the others, and he hurriedly came over to greet them warmly: "Hello! Friends from afar! Welcome!"

The young herdsman introduced himself and said that his name was Deji Caidan, and his family lived at the foot of the mountain, and then Deji Caidan warmly invited Lin Luxian and them to their home as guests.

After Deji Caidan opened the door, he said to his grandmother in the local dialect, "Grandma, there is a guest at home!" Deji Caidan's grandmother warmly welcomed Lin Luxian and the two into the room, and soon after, Deji Caidan brought two bowls of milk tea and handed them to Lin Luxian, and then asked the purpose of their trip.

After hearing that the two of them were going to no man's land, Deji Caidan immediately grabbed Lin Luxian's arm, "I can't go, I can't go!

Later, Deji Caidan's grandmother told a story in the no-man's land in dialect, and Deji Caidan translated it into Mandarin for the two of them: "Two years ago, a scientific expedition team of more than 30 people came here, and they once wanted to cross the mountains and go to the no-man's land for investigation. But after a few days, only one of them returned! The man who survived was almost insane, and he was repeating one word over and over again, "Sozonnaru!"

Lan Bingyun was puzzled and asked what Suozong Naru meant? Deji Caidan explained to her, "Suo Zongnalu means desert withered ghost in the local language, and the desert withered ghost is a monster in local legends in recent years, and it is said that this desert withered ghost comes with the wind and sand, and it is a nightmarish existence in no man's land!"

That night, Lin Luxian and the others spent the night at Deji Caidan's house. Early the next morning, after learning that Lin Luxian and the others were determined to go to the no-man's land, Deji Caidan could only helplessly take out two blankets, "Two friends! It's cold outside, it's much better to wrap the blankets on your body!" Lin Luxian wanted to pay Deji Caidan, but Deji Caidan resigned.

When they came out of Deji Caidan's house, it was windy outside, and the two hurriedly wrapped themselves in blankets and prepared to climb the mountain behind them. Lin Luxian said to Lan Bingyun, "I heard Ji Caidan say, this no-man's land is too dangerous, why don't we find a few more people to go with?"

Lan Bingyun replied, "I also want to find a few more people to go, but besides us, who will go to no man's land?"

Lin Luxian had no choice but to follow Lan Bingyun and start to climb up the mountain, but after not long climbing, he heard the sound of cars behind him. It turned out to be an off-road vehicle coming, and three men got out of the car. All three men are about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, they all have tattoos on their arms, and they are not good at stubble!

After the three got out of the car, they put on their backpacks and caught up with Lin Luxian and the others not long after. One of the yellow-haired people said, "Eh, eh, you two are also going to no man's land, together!" and the other white-haired man said, "Yo, young man, bring a girl to climb the mountain, this girl looks a little good! She is still wearing an ancient costume, what, COS (role-playing)?" and the red-haired man looked at Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun, who were nervous, and said, "We came here to find the Heavenly Sacred Palace, are you too?"

"We're just here to climb the mountain, and we'll go down in a moment... Lan Bingyun lied

"Yes, you go find the Holy Palace, we don't go the same way!" Lin Luxian looked at the three of them nervously

After seeing that the three of them had already climbed to the top of the mountain, Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun began to climb up the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, the white-haired young man said to the other two, "Eh, Huang Xiaoli, Hong Xiaozhong, how was that girl just now?"

The red-haired Hong Xiaozhong said disdainfully, "You Bai Xiaochang is just that! Thinking about women all day long, we are here to hunt for treasures, you know?"

Huang Xiaoli also echoed, "That is, when we find the Tianchong Holy Palace and get the treasure inside, after we go back, what kind of woman doesn't have it?"

Bai Xiaochang was puzzled and said, "Others say that no man's land is very dangerous, and everyone who enters it will die for life, in case... ”

"Phew, you coward, don't you know that wealth is in danger! I shouldn't have brought you if I knew that I wouldn't have brought you here, and there was one less person to share the treasure!" Huang Xiaoli said with disdain

"All right, stop arguing, and keep going, and try to cross these mountains before dark. After Hong Xiaozhong finished speaking, he took out the treasure map and looked at it

Bai Xiaochang also came over to watch, "Hong Xiaozhong, is this treasure map reliable? If we spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a fake map, then we will lose a lot of money!"

"No! I know Lao Su's personality, if no one dared to enter this no-man's land, he wouldn't have sold me the treasure map at a low price of 60,000 yuan!"

"Then where is the location of the Chongsheng Palace on this day?" Huang Xiaoli was not good at calculating the distance

Hong Xiaozhong looked at the treasure map, began to calculate it in his heart, and said after a while, "I estimated it, if I am not mistaken, the Tianchong Holy Palace should be behind there!"

By eight o'clock in the evening, Hong Xiaozhong and the three had crossed four mountains, and they set up tents at the foot of the fifth mountain, took out canned food, and prepared for dinner.

Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun only climbed halfway up the third mountain, and the two of them stopped halfway up the mountain, Lin Luxian took out bread and water from his backpack and had dinner under the stars with Lan Bingyun. Lin Luxian said disappointedly, "I thought those three people could walk with us during the day, but looking at their dress, forget it... ”

I believe that there are more good people than bad people in this world. "Blue Ice has always believed in the inherent goodness of human nature

The night was getting colder and colder, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun struggled to climb over the top of the mountain and slept on the leeward side of the mountain.

Early the next morning, after Hong Xiaozhong and the three of them finished breakfast, they began to climb over the fifth mountain, more than two hours later, the three of them came to the top of the mountain, what appeared in front of them was a vast grassland, at the end of the grassland was a few snow-capped mountains, only to see that the tall and majestic snow-capped mountain in the middle had touched the clouds.

Bai Xiaochang said excitedly: "What kind of dangerous no-man's land? It's all bluffing! After we go down the mountain, we will cross this prairie again." Aren't you just going to the snowy mountains?"

And Hong Xiaozhong looked at this prairie, but he had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, he thought to himself, "This is too simple, isn't it, or is there something wrong with this treasure map?"

Huang Xiaoli patted Hong Xiaozhong's back excitedly, "Why are you still stunned! Hurry down the mountain! When we cross the first few snow-capped mountains, the treasure is waiting for us!"

Hong Xiaozhong was a little puzzled, he called out to Bai Xiaochang and Huang Xiaoli, who were about to climb down the mountain, "Wait! Don't you think it's strange? The prairie under this mountain is so vast, why don't you see any animal traces?"

Bai Xiaochang didn't look back and said, "It doesn't matter if he moves animals or not! Let's cross the snow-capped mountains in the distance as soon as possible and go to the Tianchong Holy Palace to hunt for treasures!" Huang Xiaoli also said, "Maybe animals don't like to come here, and there is no lake here, how can animals drink water?" Okay! Don't think about it, come down quickly!"

Bai Xiaochang was the first to climb down the mountain, and as soon as he rested, Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong, who were following behind, also climbed down the mountain. While the two of them were resting, Bai Xiaochang said, "I'll wait for you at the foot of the snowy mountain!" and then he ran all the way to the prairie in front of him, and Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong followed him.

Bai Xiaochang shouted loudly as he ran on the prairie, not to mention how happy he was! But after he ran, he felt that the grass was getting softer and softer, and his shoes were wet, until he sent a plea to Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong, "Help! Huang Xiaoli! Hong Xiaozhong! Help me! Help me! Come here!"

Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong, who were resting at the foot of the mountain, heard Bai Xiaochang's call for help, they stood up and saw Bai Xiaochang standing on the grass in the distance slowly sinking! Hong Xiaozhong shouted, "It's not good! It's a swamp!" After speaking, he hurriedly ran to Bai Xiaochang, and Huang Xiaoli also followed!

But when the two ran to Bai Xiaochang's side, it was too late, Bai Xiaochang had completely fallen into the swamp and disappeared in front of the two of them. Huang Xiaoli wanted to step forward, but was pulled by Hong Xiaozhong, "Don't go! Look at your feet!" Huang Xiaoli saw that his front feet had stepped into the swamp and were sinking! But fortunately, Hong Xiaozhong behind him dragged him out.

Huang Xiaoli took a few steps back, and said with palpitations, "I finally understand, why there are no traces of animals here, it's a pity that Bai Xiaochang... ”

Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong retreated to the foot of the mountain, they looked at the prairie in front of them and the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and they didn't know what to do for a while, any place on the prairie might let them fall in, and they didn't dare to move forward rashly.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun also descended from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and they met Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong, who were stagnant. Lin Luxian asked, "Why don't you move forward? Don't you still have someone?"

"Hey, don't say it, it's all my fault... Hong Xiaozhong's tone was filled with a hint of remorse

Subsequently, Hong Xiaozhong communicated with Lin Luxian, and Lin Luxian learned that Hong Xiaozhong and the three of them were going to hunt for treasures, and what seemed to be a prairie in front of them was actually a swamp!

Hong Xiaozhong also learned that Lin Luxian and the others came to the no-man's land to look for people, and the no-man's land was behind the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Hong Xiaozhong didn't bother to care about Lin Luxian, they lied to him, he just wanted to find a way to cross the prairie in front of him now.

The four of them discussed together for a long time, and they couldn't think of how to cross the swamp in front of them.

Not long after, Lan Bingyun whispered to Lin Luxian, "Why don't I fly up and send you over one by one?"

After Lin Luxian heard this, he immediately pulled Lan Bingyun aside and said, "What are you kidding, this grassland is at least two kilometers away from the snow-capped mountains in the distance! You can't fly so far with a person in your arms!" Lan Bingyun thought about it! And Lin Luxian was not only worried about Lan Bingyun's physical strength, but also worried that Lan Bingyun would scare Hong and Huang with her wings. The most important thing is that he minds that the woman he likes is flying with another man, and when he thinks about this picture, he can't accept it...

In the end, Hong Xiaozhong, who is still rich in survival experience in the wild, thought of a way, he wanted to find a stick, poke the swamp in front of him while advancing, and try to move forward, if the stick can't poke to the end, they will change positions and move forward.

Then the four of them climbed back to the mountain behind them, looking for sticks and branches on their bodies. But there are no trees growing on this mountain at all, including the few mountains he has climbed, all of them are barren mountains! The four of them searched on the mountain for a long time, and finally Huang Xiaoli miraculously found a walking stick for climbing! Then several people went down the mountain to the foot of the mountain, led by Hong Xiaozhong, and explored the way while walking with a pestle and a cane, Huang Xiaoli followed closely, followed by Lan Bingyun, and Lin Luxian followed behind.

The four of them moved forward with difficulty and slowly, constantly changing forward positions, and everyone's pants were wet to their knees... Finally, before the sun set, we reached the foot of the nearest snow-capped mountain! The snow-capped mountains in front of me were almost the same, the upper half was covered with snow, and the lower half was bare.

The four of them rested at the foot of the snowy mountain for a while, and then found the few branches of a tree nearby. Hong Xiaozhong put a few pieces of toilet paper under the branches, lit them with flint and steel, and then everyone took off their shoes and approached the precious fire to bake their shoes and pants.

In less than half an hour, the fire burned out, and everyone had to put on the shoes that had been baked until they were half dry. Afterwards, Lin Luxian took out the bread, Hong Xiaozhong took out the canned food, and the four of them started dinner. Lin Luxian asked Hong Xiaozhong if he had ever heard of the dry ghosts of the desert? Hong Xiaozhong said that he had heard of it, but this was only a legend in recent years. According to the description that Hong Xiaozhong heard, the desert ghosts had a pair of horns on their heads and were covered with long black hair, and they could walk on all fours or upright! It is said that they sometimes disguised themselves as yaks to attack animals and people who approached them.

Hong Xiaozhong also flipped out a photo from his mobile phone. What is shown in the photo is that in the wind and sand, there is an erect humanoid creature whose face is not clear, it has a pair of curved horns on its head, and it is covered with long black hair, if it is not for its bone-like limbs, Lin Luxian would have thought that this is the legendary Bull Demon King!

However, Hong Xiaozhong then said, "Who knows if this is true or fake, the current photo synthesis technology is so superb, right!"

At the foot of the snowy mountain, the temperature is much colder than elsewhere, although Hong Xiaochong lent Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun a small tent, but in the tent, the two of them were still wrapped in blankets and shrunk together. Soon after, the temperature plummeted and strong winds blew. The two tents at the foot of the mountain were shaking in the wind, as if they were about to be overturned at any moment. But fortunately, except for the cold, there was nothing to do all night.

Early the next morning, the four of them were ready to climb up along the foot of the mountain, and Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong had already changed into thick coats. When they finally climbed halfway up the snowy mountain, Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiao looked at the section covered with snow above, they felt that their breathing was getting shorter and shorter, while Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun, who were following them, did not have any discomfort except for cold.

Hong Xiaozhong turned his head to Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun and said, "I didn't expect that you two young people are in good health, not only did you not have altitude sickness, but you also breathed smoothly!" And for this, Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun themselves couldn't explain it.

As they climbed to the top of the snowy mountain, Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong had already fallen behind Lin Luxian and the others for some distance. Hong Xiaozhong finally caught up with Lin Luxian and Lan Bingyun, who were waiting for them in front, he supported his knees with both hands, and after a while, he said with difficulty, "You, are you two immortals? Climb so fast, all of them, without panting!" Lin Luxian also took a breath, pointed to the top and said, "Hold on a little longer! Look, it's almost to the top of the mountain!"

After Huang Xiaoli and Hong Xiaozhong also climbed to the top of the snowy mountain, what appeared in front of them was a higher snowy mountain, and the upper half of the snow-covered mountain had already burrowed into the clouds above! And under the clouds, there was a group of vultures circling around the snowy mountain. The four of them looked at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain, on the grass at the foot of the mountain, there was a group of black animals eating grass leisurely, even Hong Xiaozhong couldn't tell with a telescope, is this a group of yaks, or a group of wild horses?

After resting for a while, the four of them began to climb down the mountain, and after more than an hour, they came to the grass at the foot of the snowy mountain. The four of them finally saw that there was a herd of wild horses on the grass. Hong Xiaozhong cautiously approached the group of wild horses, and just wanted to take out his mobile phone to take pictures, but found that a white animal suddenly rushed down from the snowy mountain, disturbing the wild horse herd! The wild horses hurriedly ran to the left side of the mountain! And dozens of meters above the wild horse herd, the white animal hurriedly threw out a stone the size of a watermelon, and the flying stone was fast and ruthless! Impartially smashed a wild horse in the running! The wild horse that was hit instantly rolled twice on the ground, and then fell to the grass, kicking on all fours! Its head was raised from time to time and screamed in pain...

The white animal had already run to the wild horse that had been hit, and it picked up the big stone that it had just thrown with both hands, walked to the wild horse lying on the ground, lifted the stone, and smashed it on the horse's head! Then, the white animal carried the carcass of the wild horse and walked quickly towards the snowy mountain! If you compare it with the carcass of the wild horse, this white humanoid is at least three meters tall! It is taller than the wild man in the smoke rack!

At this moment, Lin Luxian and the other four were already stunned, and Hong Xiaozhong was already so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to make a sound.

When the wild man completely disappeared on the snowy mountain, Hong Xiaozhong got up from the ground, and Lin Luxian, Lan Bingyun, and Huang Xiaoli also slowly approached Hong Xiaozhong.

Huang Xiaoli nervously asked Hong Xiaozhong, "That is the desert dry ghost just now?" Hong Xiaozhong shook his head, "No, that one just now was Zang Xueren! Some people also call it Zang Baize, it is said that Zang Baize is the guardian saint of the snow-capped mountain, and he is extremely powerful! It will not let anyone pass by the snow-capped mountain, and if someone touches it on the snow-capped mountain, it is equivalent to encountering the god of death! So, wait a minute, we have to go around from the foot of the snowy mountain, or halfway up the mountainside, if we disturb Zang Baize, then we will be miserable!"
