Chapter 74, West into the Frontier (Five Watches)

After separating from Xi Yuhuang and others, Di Cheng took Shalang and other Seventh Brigade to march west along the rugged mountain road, during which he bought two broken "liberation" trucks as a means of transportation to relieve physical exertion and alleviate the discomfort caused by altitude sickness.

Leaving Qinghai, entering Xinjiang in the west, passing through Yuzhu Peak, the highest peak with an altitude of more than 6,000 meters in the upper and eastern sections of Kunlun, a group of nearly 100 people finally came to the Nianqing Tanggula Mountains after more than half a month of careful travel.

The Tibetan meaning of Nianqing Tanggula is 'Lingying Grassland God', it is the sacred mountain in the hearts of Tibetans, the main peak is as high as 7,117 meters, and there are 4 peaks with an altitude of more than 7,000 meters near the main peak, which are arranged in the east and west, and are closely connected. There are also more than 30 snow-capped peaks of more than 6,000 meters gathered around it, majestic and majestic, stretching endlessly. Arriving here means that you are about to arrive in Lhasa.

Looking at the majestic and endless snow peaks in the distance, Di Cheng and the others felt that their minds were unprecedentedly open-minded, and all kinds of depression hidden in their hearts seemed to be gone, and they all had the urge to open their arms to accept the baptism of nature, and even the altitude sickness seemed to be much lighter.

Sha Lang took a sharp breath of thin air and asked, "It's almost time to Lhasa, my lord, shall we bypass here and go directly into the Himalayas, or shall we go to Lhasa to have a look?" ”

Looking at the blue sky and the endless snow-capped mountains, Di Cheng was unprecedentedly quiet, and the chaotic thoughts in his heart were gradually fading and dissipating, as if he had returned to the past, to a long, long time ago. "Lhasa...... When I was a child, I dreamed of visiting there to experience the rich Tibetan culture and visit the Potala Palace, the essence of ancient Tibetan architecture and art. ”

"Where is the Potala Palace in Lhasa?" King Kong scratched his head and couldn't help asking, he is a good hand when it comes to fighting, but he is actually illiterate when it comes to these academic theoretical knowledge.

"The Potala Palace is located on the Maburi Mountain in the northwest of Lhasa, Tibet, and is a famous palace-style building complex, the essence of ancient Tibetan architectural art. Founded in the 7th century, it was built by the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo for the princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty who married the Tibetan princess, and built a palace of 999 houses on the Red Mountain at an altitude of more than 3,700 meters in Lhasa. The palace fort is built according to the mountain, now covers an area of 410,000 square meters, the construction area is 130,000 square meters, the main building of the palace body is 13 floors, 115 meters high, all are stone and wood structures, 5 palace roofs are covered with gilded copper tiles, the golden light is brilliant, the momentum is majestic, it is the essence of the ancient architectural art of the Tibetan nationality, and is known as the plateau temple. ”

Everyone looked at Di Cheng in surprise, how could the head of the family look like a literati and scholar today, and even the specific numbers came with his mouth open, but seeing the reminiscence and sadness in Di Cheng's eyes, Sha Lang and they closed their mouths in interest.

They talked to each other a lot along the way, and everyone introduced themselves, and Di Cheng was no exception, but he focused on his life on the grassland, but never mentioned the days before the age of six. They were curious in their hearts, curious about Di Cheng's true life experience, curious about the pain and confusion that the other party faintly revealed when talking about this matter.

After a long time, Di Cheng gradually sobered up from his memories, looking up at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, Di Cheng smiled softly, and said: "Let's go to Lhasa, no matter how strong the search and arrest force is, it can't extend here, and it just so happens that we also need to purchase some things to prepare for entering the snowy mountains." In addition, there are many weapons shops in Lhasa, so you should also buy a few weapons and arm them. ”

Yang Jing divided all the money in the bag: "A group of five or six people, separate from each other, give you a day, and we will gather here after dawn tomorrow." It's okay to play, it's okay to drink, it's okay to find a woman, but no one is allowed to make trouble for me, it's a bit chaotic at night here, so pay attention to yourself. ”

"Let's go, I haven't been in the city for a long time, I'll take you to a big meal." Di Cheng patted Da Han's arm and walked forward. In the depths of his memory, the man had promised to bring himself to Lhasa to enjoy Tibetan customs and culture...... In the end, it just became a promise, a promise that can never be kept~~ After eighteen years, after eighteen years of struggle, I actually came here, but I was accompanied by my brothers, not that person.

In any case, the trajectory of life has deviated, and I can't go back to the past, life is dominated by myself, and it is up to me to decide which direction to go.

Sha Lang and the others separated in turn, each with four or five brothers choosing different directions and walking towards Lhasa, followed by Di Cheng only Yang Jing and Da Han.

As the capital of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Lhasa has a history of 1,300 years, and in Tibetan it means "holy land" or "Buddha land", and in reality it is the political, economic, cultural and religious center of Tibet. The splendid and majestic Potala Palace is a symbol of the supreme theocratic regime.

The city of Lhasa is centered on the Potala Palace and Barkhor Street, with Sera Monastery in the north and Duilong Deqing County in the west. Standing on a high place and looking at the city of Lhasa, the post and telecommunications building, the news building, the Lhasa Hotel, the Tibet Hotel and all kinds of buildings are dotted around, which are intertwined with each other, continuous and continuous, and a new glow.

Entering it, green trees are all over the city, covering the new-style buildings, and the smoke is wafting, and there are houses and streets with ethnic style in Yemibao, so that today's Lhasa City retains the cultural atmosphere and also has modern vitality, but the prayer wheel and the rosary never leave the hand is clearly ...... Here, Buddhism has become a way of life.

"In Lhasa, everyone has faith in their hearts, and the religious atmosphere here is far greater than in other cities in the mainland." Walking slowly on the city streets, looking at the busy or chatting passers-by, the corners of Di Cheng's mouth appeared to wipe faith. He didn't believe in Buddhism, but he knew that it was a blessing to have faith in his heart.

Yang Jing shrugged, he didn't have the slightest interest in these things, what he cared about was the majestic type of the Tibetans and the wildness under the simplicity, these people who grew up from snack meat are obviously more than one level higher than people in other places in terms of physical fitness, if they can form a force here, they will definitely be a tiger and wolf division.

Da Han even looked at the beef and mutton that often appeared on the street and swallowed his saliva, inhaling the aroma vigorously, and couldn't wait to rush up and pick up a roast leg of lamb and swallow it in two bites.

Di Cheng shook his head and smiled: "It's not early, let's go and taste the roasted whole sheep in Xijiang." ”

"How many?" Dahan's bull's eyes lit up sharply, staring directly at Di Cheng.

was amused and helpless by his funny and exaggerated appearance. "Fill up, go."

Amidst laughter and cheers, the three of them found a clean storefront, ordered a roast whole sheep and two suckling sheep, and let go of their appetites to taste them. Along the way, although they often catch some game barbecue and eat a lot of meat, after all, their skills are not good, and it is inevitable that they will be tasteless after a long time. Now that you can visit Xinjiang in person, you naturally want to taste the authentic roasted whole sheep that is famous all over the country.

Da Han was even more fragrant with a happy face, holding the mutton and gobbling it up, Di Cheng and Yang Jing frequently persuaded him to eat slowly.

Shalang and others scattered to various places in Lhasa also let go and enjoyed themselves, some drank wine and ate meat, some looked for flowers and willows, and some purchased weapons, and the long-term depression finally broke out at this moment, but although they were a little crazy, they did not forget Yang Jing's warning, and they still kept a little bit of reason.

"That's the Potala Palace......" Standing on the street at night, Di Cheng looked up at the golden and smooth mountain in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh at its beauty and magnificence. The Potala Palace under the colorful lights, under the black night, looks even more solemn and mysterious, and under the strong religious atmosphere, it has become the most mysterious and holy place in Western Xinjiang.

"Is the Potala Palace for a visit? Why don't we go shopping? Seeing that Di Cheng seemed to be very interested in the Potala Palace, Yang Jing asked out loud.

"We went to the bottom of the mountain and I liked the feeling of being on the outside rather than going inside."

Di Cheng did not take a taxi, walked on the bustling streets of Lhasa, walked towards the high mountain, all the way forward, with the continuous indentation of the distance, the world's highest palace castle complex gradually enlarged in the line of sight, when Di Cheng came to the foot of the mountain, it was really to discover the charm of this building. Towering and magnificent, the faint sound of chanting wafting in the air also casts a layer of mystery over the golden smoothness.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" A gentle voice suddenly sounded from behind the three of them, waking up Di Cheng, who was immersed in his feelings, Yang Jing frowned, and in an instant, he reflexively straddled, and the momentum of his whole body broke out without reservation!

Being able to approach them silently, this person ...... It must be strong.

ps: Five more presents, I've been very busy lately, and today this is the limit of mice. If the brothers feel that they are not proceeding, the next time the passion phase erupts, the mice try to make up for it. Mice talk and do what they should do. (*
