The 133rd Departure, Destination Kinabalu!
The sacred mountain, across the southernmost part of the border of Wusizang and Tubo, stretches for thousands of miles, towering into the clouds, it is rumored that the top of the sacred mountain is the abode of the gods, and after the death of good people, they will be led to the top of the mountain by the gods, and from there they enter heaven.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people of Uszang and Tubo, the sacred mountain is inviolable, and even the highest flying divine eagle cannot surpass the top of the sacred mountain, because it is the top of the world that only gods can reach.
When Xiang Gong said that the place they were going to was the sacred mountain, Xiao Songtsen Gampo was terrified, he thought that he had auditory hallucinations, and it was rumored that the Tianzhu people wanted to cross the sacred mountain and make a surprise attack to capture Tibet.
Before he reached the mountainside, he was angry with the gods and the majesty of the mountain, which caused the wrath of the heavens, and in the blink of an eye, the army of hundreds of thousands of Tianzhu was wiped out, leaving no one alive.
"No, master, the majesty of the sacred mountain cannot be challenged, and the forbidden land of the gods cannot be trespassed, otherwise you will anger the gods and you will die without a place to bury." Little Songtsen Gampo strongly objected.
This is expected by Xiang Gong and Sun Simiao, in fact, for Xiao Songtsen Gampo, the majesty of the sacred mountain is, which Xiang Gong knows very well, because he is a member of the royal family.
And the imperial power and the divine power have always been incompatible, so Xiao Songtsen Gampo has a sense of awe for the so-called sacred mountain, which is probably also caused by the harsh environment on the sacred mountain.
The most crucial figure is actually the witch doctor.
In Tibet and Uszang, and even in most countries in the Western Regions, witchcraft is a unique magic of priests, so most witch doctors work part-time as tribal priests.
The priests relied on using the ethereal gods to control the minds of the world, so they were loyal supporters of the divine power, and in front of the priests, talking about the sacred mountain in vain was a blatant challenge to the divine power.
Of course, Xiao Songtsen Gampo didn't want such a conflict to break out, after all, all they had now was a small Usizang, so while alarmist, Xiao Songtsen Gampo winked at Xiang Gong and shrugged his eyebrows.
In fact, Xiang Gong and Sun Simiao could understand the meaning of Xiao Songtsan Gampo, so Xiang Gong asked Sun Simiao to give the witch doctor some benefits, and Sun Simiao also agreed happily, which was a tacit understanding between them.
Because of the identity of superhumans, most of the witch doctors are characters who think highly of themselves and look at people with their nostrils, and when they hear the so-called benefits, they just snort coldly.
Of course, Sun Simiao would not bother with him, so he immediately took out a small pinch of incense, lit the incense, and secretly signaled Xiang Gong to take the people away, leaving only the witch doctor and his entourage.
The burning light on the incense, the smoke curling, drew a strange arc, drifted towards the priest and his attendants, and the priest's body trembled, and his eyes gradually became foggy.
At this time, in front of his eyes, Sun Simiao's image slowly grew taller, and there was even a faint halo surrounding Sun Simiao's head, and Sun Simiao's face also became sacred and solemn.
"Great Celestial, your faithful servant Dora listens to the Celestial Gods." The witch doctor Dora actually knelt down in fear, making Xiang Gong cover his face and cry and laugh.
It seems that the tacit understanding is still not enough, he originally wanted Sun Simiao to teach some basic medical skills to the witch doctor, which can not only convince the witch doctor, but also allow the witch doctor to really save more lives in the future.
Sun Simiao is good, he would be wrong and took out such a weird incense stick, judging from the performance of the witch doctor after being recruited, Sun Simiao should have used some kind of ecstasy incense.
That's fine, in this way, the witch doctor mistakenly thinks that Sun Simiao is a god, and will naturally listen to him, which is more cost-effective and efficient than bribing the witch doctor.
However, in the same room, under the flow of air, why did the incense stick not affect itself?
Sun Simiao naturally gave him the answer.
"This is a special ecstasy incense that only works for people who have drunk yak milk for a short time!" Sun Simiao's face, which was full of red light and looked loyal and honest, actually squeezed out a prank smile, and Xiang Gong couldn't help but smack his tongue.
I didn't expect this old man to be so naughty, "It's done, tell him our requirements." ”
Sun Simiao pouted proudly, and told the witch doctor that he wanted to go up to the sacred mountain and needed someone to lead the way, and the witch doctor nodded without hesitation and said that he would definitely lead the way himself.
There is no way to do this, in Wusizang, if you want to go to the sacred mountain, there are only two kinds of people who are eligible, one is sacrifice, and the other is the dead, the dead want to be closer to the gods and heaven, so they will choose to be buried in the sky.
And the priest is the one who performs the heavenly burial and sends the body of the deceased to the sacred mountain, so if you want to guide, you must also be a witch doctor, which is why Sun Simiao chose to use ecstasy incense.
The priest agreed, and the guide to go up the mountain was there, Xiang Gong and the others immediately decided to leave, Wukong was very skilled, so he naturally had to follow him on the road, and in case of danger, with him, there would be a lot more protection.
Xiao Bailong, Xuanzang, and Xiao Niu stayed in Gao Laozhuang, and if they went, I am afraid they would all become a burden, and the same is true for Xiao Songtsan Gampo.
Zhu Fengchun......
Forget it, he must be in a state of confusion now, I'm afraid it won't help him with this, and maybe he will drag everyone down because of his restlessness.
On the sacred mountain, no one can guarantee that they can escape with their whole body, and any seemingly inconspicuous place can hide a deadly killing machine.
After making a decision, Xiang Gong asked everyone to wait, he still needs to make some preparations, in a place like Shenshan, there must be some special equipment, and the chances of survival can be greatly improved.
After doing a few tasks, plus looting from Gao Laozhuang, Xiang Gong's equipment is generally complete.
The first is the thing that ignites the fire, the snow lotus can only be seen above the snow line of the sacred mountain, where the perennial snow is several times colder than in winter, and it is very important to make a fire to keep warm.
The second is thick clothes, and several people naturally have to change their clothes before going up the mountain, but in order to avoid the clothes getting wet, it is still necessary to bring two more sets of spares.
The third is the rope, which is very useful, whether it is climbing high or emergency, it can reap miraculous effects, and it is naturally indispensable.
Fourth, it is some jerky, there is no food, there is no source of calories, hungry to go up the mountain, it is equivalent to looking for death, hunting is afraid that there is no prey, and second, it is a waste of physical strength.
The fifth, is a small iron pot, this thing, is Xiang Gong in exchange for a task, a pot for multiple purposes, can melt snow, let Xiang Gong and others go up the mountain and have hot water to drink, can also be used to heat food, so as not to consume too much energy for digestion.
The last one is the sapper shovel, this thing was originally obtained by Xiang Gong in Qu Zhiguo to do a task, this time Xiang Gong was also exchanged for a task, a small and sturdy sapper shovel, which is very useful.
After making all the preparations, Xiang Gong took a few people on the road, and at the foot of the sacred mountain, there was a shallow stream flowing through, which was formed by the melting of the snow on the sacred mountain.
The snow line of Mount Kinabalu is actually very low, and before nightfall, they have already come to the snow line less than ten zhang below, set up camp, and after crossing the snow line, they will enter the vast snow-capped mountain, and it is necessary to take a rest.
While there were still some living activities, Wukong and Xiang Gong went out hunting to save dried meat and replenish food sources at the same time, but just after walking out, Xiang Gong found a terrifying thing.
"It can't be Bigfoot, right?" Xiang Gong's voice was about to tremble out of the melody.
