Chapter 141 Suspended Plank Road
The Hummer galloped on the highway, starting from the old city of Puran, passing through the holy lake of Mapanyongcuo, all the way north, and in less than half an hour, it came to the foot of Mount Kailash.
"Praise the Holy King Buddha Light, oh my God, what a beautiful mountain!"
As soon as he got out of the car, Nineteen was shocked by the towering and snow-capped mountain in front of him.
Ye Qing followed behind her, looking at the majestic and majestic posture of Kailash Peak, and couldn't help but exclaim in her heart: It is indeed beautiful.
This is known as the "top of Ali" of the mountain of the gods, 6656 meters above sea level, the peak is covered with ice and snow in all seasons, the white clouds are swirling, the four walls of the mountain peak are symmetrical, showing the shape of a round crown pyramid, just like this, it is surrounded by many strange peaks, only one corner is faintly exposed, this corner is biased, and with the momentum of breaking through the bamboo, just like a sharp sword, straight into the sky, very visual and spiritual shock.
Kailash as one of the world-famous Buddhist holy places, on the periphery of the mountain, a total of eight temples on each side, everywhere Sanskrit sounds linger, according to legend, the Buddhist scriptures on Mount Meru, refers to here.
Because of this relationship, Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, Bon, etc., all regard Kailash as a religious holy place, and a steady stream of believers from all over the world come to worship it every year.
Pilgrims believe that one turn of Kailash can wash away the sins of one's life, that turning ten times of the mountain can save one of the five hundred reincarnations of hell, that one hundred turns of the mountain can lead to the ascension of a Buddha in this life, and that if one turn is made in the year of the horse when the Buddha Shakyamuni was born, it is equivalent to turning thirteen times in other years.
It happened to be the Year of the Horse, so early in the morning, it was not yet seven o'clock, but at the foot of Mount Kinabalu, a lot of people had already gathered.
Among them, there are naturally many followers of Tibetan Buddhism, who wear simple robes and carry a dusty face, starting from the holy land, trekking all the way to the top of the sacred mountain.
In addition, there are many believers and tourists from other countries, among whom Nepalese and Indians are the most numerous, and their special dark skin color is also the most recognizable among the crowd.
"Everyone, let's go from this side, we don't have to rush to crowd the mountain road with the tourists, we can still climb up."
Amuro explained that during the closure period from late autumn to early summer, due to the change of wind and snow, the formed roads were basically buried, and if you want to find it again, you will have to wait at least until June and July, when the sun is at its fiercest.
Now the sacred mountain has just been unsealed, and those who come here do not dare to run around because they don't understand the terrain, so they can only obediently follow the butt of Tibetan Buddha believers to go to the mountain road.
Ye Qing wasn't worried about what tricks he would play, and he didn't ask much about the specifics, so he let him lead the way in front, and the group climbed up to the mountainside in a mighty way.
Aside from the sacred aura of the "Mountain of the Gods", Kailash's scenery is truly breathtaking, and every section of the mountain has a different color, either crystal clear silver white, or primitive green, or simple loess to the depths of the soul, outlining the gifts of nature and the blessings of the Buddha.
Looking up again, the eyes are as blue and deep as in the past, a casual glance, anytime, anywhere, the entire sky and mountain peaks show a majestic magnificence, can make people feel a surging passion that has nothing to do with the wind and moon, only about faith.
In order not to look too different in the crowd of climbers, Xu Zimo suggested that everyone try their best to pretend to be tourists, and take a few symbolic photos to commemorate each scenic spot, and then continue to set off.
The section they first walked was at the bottom of the mountains, and the road was relatively easy to walk, and the higher they went, the steeper it became.
Ye Qing is a cultivator, Xu Zimo and Shi Lei know at a glance that they often exercise, so among the five people, the three of them are in good shape, but they are suffering from Amuro and the nineteen two, when they reach the slope of about forty-five degrees, they must lean their bodies down as much as possible, hold the trekking poles with one hand, and climb the surrounding stones or trees with the other hand, sometimes squatting, sometimes crawling, shuttling through the steep troubled rocks, until they reach the mountainside, they finally calm down.
"Look, that's the 'Mountain of Our Lady' Namunani."
After a short break, Amuro stretched out his hand and pointed to another peak in front of him.
It was a mountain much higher than the sacred mountain Kailash, and from the east, the entire ridge was as steep as a blade, with a sense of determination and tenacity.
In this way, Kailash and Namunani are separated by more than 100 kilometers, and in the middle is the sacred lake of Mapanyongtso, quietly lying prone between the two peaks.
The mountain road was long, and Amuro saw that the atmosphere was gloomy, so he enthusiastically told a beautiful legend about these three-
According to legend, Namunani was originally a noble Indian princess who fell in love with Kailash, but the two were too far apart, and they gathered less and separated more. One day, Namunani wanted to meet Kailash on the plateau, but was stopped by her family and warned her that if she didn't listen to the advice and insisted on going, if she could have **** with Kailash and eventually become a family, if she couldn't be together, then she would never be able to return to India to be a noble princess.
Namunani did not listen to the advice, thousands of mountains and rivers came to the plateau to look for Kailash, she did not expect that the original also deeply in love with Kailash Ma Pan Yong Tso, while Namu Nani was far away in India, snatched Kailash heart, when Namu Nani came to Kailash's side, but found that Kailash had been with Ma Pan Yong Tso.
Heartbroken, Namunani lost his love, and because he was too stubborn in his pursuit of love, he was never able to return to India, and simply turned into a mountain near Kailash and Mapanyongtso.
"Of course, these are just stories handed down by the older generation, true or false, I'm afraid no one can verify it." Amuro smiled and continued to lead the way in front of him, setting off in a higher direction.
Nineteen, however, did not understand the meaning of the story, and at one moment he angrily reprimanded Kailash for his strange thoughts, at another time he criticized Ma Panyong for taking advantage of the situation, and at another time, he deeply regretted Namunani's stubbornness.
Ye Qing just smiled and didn't express any opinions.
Xu Zimo was silent for a long time, and when he came back from his contemplation, before he knew it, they had come to a fork in the mountain.
Amuro stopped, pointed to the two winding paths under his feet, and said: "These two roads go all the way, you can reach Tiannan, compared to it, the left one will be easier to walk, but you have to go around the two mountains in front of you in a row, it takes more time, the right one is closer, just ......"
He hesitated.
"Just what?"
Nineteen Tianzhen asked: "Is it possible, there are still monsters on the road that can eat people?" ”
Amuro shook his head and replied with a serious expression: "I don't know if there are any monsters, but before I came, my grandfather told me that if you are a coward, don't choose this path, otherwise, even if you survive, you will regret it for the rest of your life." ”
Shi Lei didn't look like he was laughing, took out his binoculars, and went straight through the sparse trees, his vision range was limited, and most of the things he saw were vague, he frowned and asked, "What are the specific road conditions?" ”
"Road ......"
Amuro pursed his lips and replied: "The first half is okay, but the second half is partly a suspended plank road, almost nearly ten meters away, less than one meter wide, chiseled by the mountain, and the bottom is a glacier more than 10,000 feet deep. ”
Nineteen sneered, and the old god said: "I thought it was dangerous, isn't it just a suspended plank road, and it's not a sea of swords!" Ann, a, a, no matter how dangerous the road is, I have walked it, and it is not so easy to die. ”
One of them discussed enthusiastically, but Ye Qing squatted down, not knowing what he was holding in his hand, and observed intently.
Xu Zimo just wanted to ask her opinion, but when he looked back, he saw her squatting on the ground, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Qing'er, what's wrong with you, did you find something?" ”
Ye Qing didn't say anything, just handed him the things in his hand.
It was a bag of compressed biscuits, and it was not unusual to find this thing in some famous tourist attractions, but the strange thing was that the words on the bag were all in foreign languages, and looking at the production date, it was just three days ago.
Xu Zimo suddenly captured the point: "It seems that the group of foreigners has already passed here ahead of us, if there is no accident, they should have chosen the path on the left." ”
"They didn't know what they were coming, and they came out a day before us, so it seems that we have to hurry up and get there before they do." Shi Lei said solemnly.
Ye Qing looked at the deep mountain path on the left, and said calmly: "Then now, we can only take this road." ”
Amuro squirmed his lips, as if he still had something to say, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't say it, after all, there are good and bad shortcuts, the good thing is to arrive earlier, he can find his brother Azaro earlier, the bad thing is that the road is difficult and dangerous, and whether he can go on alive when the time comes, is another matter.
After making a decision, Ye Qing and the others stopped grinding, and directly turned to the left and walked towards the depths of the path.
Amuro is right, this road is indeed very difficult to walk, after they walked in from the fork, at first they could vaguely see the traces of the mountain road, oblique and crooked, like a silver snake stretching for thousands of miles, but as they walked, the road was gone, and the surrounding area directly became a primitive area overgrown with weeds.
The few of them had to slow down a little longer, but their heartbeats increased a little, and the deeper they went, the putrid smell from the damp woods began to thicken.
Ye Qing held her breath with her true qi, she felt okay, nineteen was not as relaxed as her, not only had to pinch her nose hard, but also covered her mouth with a tissue to breathe.
Fortunately, the test was short-lived, and after more than an hour, they finally walked out of the slowly boundless dense forest and rediscovered the secluded mountain trail. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
