"Master Su, Master Yi, the old man of Daqin Road walked through it decades ago, and the most difficult section of the road was in Buzhou Mountain. The high monks of Tianzhu Kingdom said that the gods of this mountain gather only for those who are destined. Passing through the ice field on the side, if you can see the true face of Buzhou Mountain, it is the Buddha who forgave all the sins we committed in the earthly world, and along the way, there will be the protection of ten thousand Buddhas. If you walk at the bottom of the mountain and don't have the opportunity to witness the Buzhou Divine Peak, then it's better to turn back quickly. Even the gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of immeasurable compassion are unwilling to accept it, and they must be an unblessed person, who can only take a smooth path in this life, and cannot wade into danger. ”

Mr. Rong Ge took a sip of milk wine, put his hand on the pergola and looked at the green mountains in the south with many peaks, and looked at the secluded road a few times.

What he means is that the difficulty of the Great Qin Road is not in the poisonous dragon miasma and the dangerous glaciers, but mainly depends on one's own cultivation.

"In my father-in-law's words, my caravan is the right way to walk the Daqin Road?"

Uncle Su laughed and raised the wine bowl to salute the old man.

"Go boldly and with confidence, the Buddha will bless you. The compassionate and omnipotent Bodhisattva never missees the world, hehe. ”

Facing the last rays of light from behind the mountains, Uncle Su and Uncle Rong Ge drank the turbid wine in the bowl.

"Young master, borrow the good words of the old man, let's walk the Daqin Road for a while?"

Uncle Su looked at me with a strange expression and smiled, as if he was testing me.

"Okay, it's up to Uncle Su to decide! Just take the Daqin Road! I replied to Uncle Su.

His decision is very much in line with my wishes, and if Uncle Su is determined to follow the old path of the Wakhan Mountains, I can't disobey it.

"But you boys, think about it! Let the wicked man not walk on the mountain! When the time comes, the gods on the mountain will take you away, don't blame me Lao Su! ”

Uncle Su stood up and looked at everyone with a solemn expression, but he couldn't help but laugh first.

It was originally a difficult business road, and the only reason why Uncle Su was worried was the word "risk".

As Rong Ge said, there are no evil people in this world, and they are all taken away by the compassionate Buddha and Bodhisattva.

"Take the Great Qin Road!"

"Go and worship that sacred mountain! Hehe! ”

"So many people have walked by, what are we afraid of!"

The guys echoed each other, and the words of retribution and punishment of the Buddha were nothing in the eyes of these old rivers and lakes.

The past of the Roman legions and the mysterious figure of Buzhou Mountain have inspired everyone to explore the mountain.

I, the leader, agreed, and of course they had no reason to back down.

After resting for two or three days at the inn of the old man's house in Rongge, and after purchasing the dried fruits and bacon needed by dozens of us for half a month, the caravan hurriedly set out on the road.

On this trip to Tianzhu across Daqin Road, none of the old people in the team had ever walked it.

Therefore, it is particularly important to have a guide who is familiar with the road conditions and folk customs on the way.

Otherwise, there is no way to advance or retreat from the snow-capped mountains, which is more dangerous than getting lost in the Huanglong sand sea.

Brother Rongmu was enthusiastic and volunteered to lead the caravan and send us through Buzhou Mountain.

In every valley and mountain area behind the Buzhou Mountain, there are indigenous wild people who live here, and it should not be difficult to hire a guide to the south with a lot of money.

And about this Daqin Road, which runs from north to south through the green mountains, I also have a ready-made route silk map in my hand.

At that time, the merchants of Tianzhu Kingdom stayed at my Qingfengze Inn and mentioned this mysterious road to my mother.

In the picture, this ancient road, which is rarely walked by the world, was also added.

There are no passes, garrisons, castles, villages, just a few rough landmarks.

One of the biggest landmarks is of course Buzhou Mountain, and you can walk towards the mountain in the first half without losing your way.

Of course, the premise is that you must always be able to see this sacred mountain that soars into the sky, which depends on the fate of the Buddha.

People who have nothing to do with the Buddha can't walk the Great Qin Road, maybe that's the truth.

I can't see the mother of all mountains where this god and Buddha gather, and there is no landmark to follow in the south, so of course you can't go on the road.

The silk map shows that after the Buzhou Mountain is a long river that runs through the high gorges and mountains all the way south to the hinterland of Tianzhu, much like the yellow water we have seen in the Eastern Tuhan Kingdom and the vast river outside Jiankang City.

Along this Tianzhu long river, we can go directly to the destination of our trip, Fulousha, the new capital of the Kushan Empire in the past, and the Jiandra Buddha country, which enjoys the reputation of "incense country" today.

However, there are thousands of ravines on both sides of the river, and it is almost impossible to follow the river.

If we really want to take the Daqin Road, we still need to turn into the legendary Tuoli Ancient Road at the valley of a tributary of the Tianzhu Long River.

From there, he first entered the countries of the Buddha and Wuchang, and then crossed the long river into the country of the Buddha.

From the exhausted country all the way east to the Fulou Shawang City, and it is a rich hometown with dense population.

Therefore, there are only four most conspicuous landmarks in the silk map from north to south, such as the Shenshan Mountain, the Tianzhu Long River, the Tuoli Ancient Road, and the ferry port of the exhaustive country.

But to really pass through these landmarks on silk, it is by no means as simple as it sounds, and those who have not experienced it can imagine the difficulties and dangers!

In the first few days after watching the mountain run away from the country of Puli, the looming Buzhou Shenshan in front of him seemed to be an arrow away.

But no matter how hard we try, we never get to the bottom of it.

The caravan had already walked above the snow line of the Green Ridge Ice Field, and the four fields were all white as far as the eye could see.

The mountains in front of us are getting higher and higher, and the ice and snow that have accumulated for thousands of years reach into the sky, and it is difficult for mortals like us to overcome even if we grow wings.

The headache and tinnitus that had been slightly relieved during the recuperation in Puli Wangcheng recurred, making it difficult to sleep and eat, and the legs were like lead.

Fortunately, the gods and Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of great compassion did not embarrass us, and during the days of walking on the ice field, we encountered rare sunny weather.

The landmarks of the sacred peaks of Buzhou Mountain are always waiting for us in front of us, although occasionally black clouds drift over to hide the true face of the sacred mountain.

But soon, like the magic of the Rory, he stood in the middle of the mountains with colorful auspicious clouds on his head.

Brother Rongmu is an experienced mountain guide, and instead of leading us to climb the snowy peaks, he took the horse team around the mountain.

"Young Master Yi, from the southeast mountain pass of our Puli country to the foot of Buzhou Mountain, we have to pass through ten mountain passes and climb over eighteen ice peaks. Therefore, the world refers to Buzhou Mountain as the Buddha, and these eighteen ice peaks are the eighteen Arhats in front of the Buddha's lotus platform! Young master, Master Su! The creation of heaven and earth is truly amazing! Hehe! ”

Five days later, we turned around and passed a glacial lake surrounded by mountains.

Rong Mu pointed to the surrounding mountains and smiled at me in a hoarse voice.

The surrounding snow line and glaciers have receded temporarily, and the wind that has been howling in my ears has subsided a lot.

"Lao Rong, how long will it take for us to reach the foot of Buzhou Mountain?"

While beckoning everyone to camp here, I asked Brother Rongmu with difficulty.

Splitting headaches

Bitter, tortured, I don't even have the strength to speak.

This section of the green ridge ice field has made everyone taste the hardship, and all the way is to walk upwards on the ice and snow continuous heavenly road.

Everyone seemed to be covered by an invisible god, and smooth breathing had become an unattainable luxury.

People have no power to resist in the face of the impermanence of heaven and earth, and the arrogance of daring to be the first before setting off has long since disappeared.

Fearless as Qin Chong, he could only survive here by holding Dawan Wuqing's tail.

Now everyone's common wish is to get out of this unfortunate mountain of purgatory on earth as soon as possible.

"Hurry, hurry! Within three days, we can reach the foot of Buzhou Mountain, and after five days we will arrive at the entrance of the Tuoli Ancient Road! From then on, all the way to Fulousha, it's all the way down the mountain! ”

Brother Rong Mu looked at my painful expression, patted me on the shoulder and smiled comfortingly.

"Yes, young master, it only takes half an hour on the way down the mountain, and all the people and camels and horses will be relieved! Bear with me! Aren't you heroic teenagers as good as me, an old fellow? ”

Uncle Su, who had finished arranging the camping affairs, saw that I was chatting with Rong Mu, and he also interjected with a smile.

There seemed to be some banter and mockery in his old man's words.

"Uncle Su, my nephew knows that he is wrong! If you don't listen to your advice, you will be brave and strong, so you will end up with no way to advance and retreat today! ”

I smiled bitterly at Uncle Su and said, At present, this Great Qin Road is really much more aggrieved than fighting in front of the two armies of the Roman State.

"Young master, don't be discouraged, after this first time, next time we take the Daqin Road, it will be much smoother!"

Uncle Su saw that I was uncomfortable and quickly comforted me lovingly, and helped me into the tent.

"Daqin Road, I will never walk again in this life! Still on the old road, in the Wakhan Mountains! High Annex! "I don't have the strength to speak.

While talking, Duo'er brought me gruel made with Hu Mai Red Medicine.

This is the ancestral secret recipe of the old man's family, which is dedicated to treating headaches in the mountains.

"Brother, stop talking, drink this bowl of porridge first!"

Duo'er is completely adapted to such a mountain environment, without any discomfort, what a strange woman.

"Young master, there is no smooth road in this world, it's all about boiling and forbearing! You rest first, I'll go. ”

Uncle Su uncharacteristically didn't comfort me anymore, just shrugged his shoulders lightly and walked out of the tent.

As the leader of the caravan, how could he be so vulnerable! The whole team, young and old, is only looking at me!

In the past, my grandfather walked on the business road and took the lead.

Every time he goes to a camping place, no matter how tired he is, he will settle everything under the company of Uncle Su before returning to his tent.

Now the guys on this snowfield are still busy, and I, the leader, will lie down first, how will the big guys look at me!

"Uncle Su! Stay! ”

I drank all the gruel in three or two sips, and ran out of the tent despite Duo'er's dissuasion.

"The young master's head doesn't hurt!" Uncle Su laughed.

"It doesn't hurt anymore!"

I patted my groggy head and forced a smile.

"Very good! Hehe! There are a few old people in the team who are infected with wind and cold, and please ask the young master to come over and take a look! ”

Uncle Su flicked his silver beard with relief, and stood beside me to let me go first, just like he did when he followed his grandfather.

It was from that moment that I truly understood the duties of the caravan leader, and the headache and wheezing seemed to be relieved a lot.
