"There's a checkpoint ahead, so remember what I'm telling you." Lao Yan said in a low voice.

None of us agreed to him, but we didn't see any worries on his part, and seemed to be sure that we wouldn't be there to put him together.

After passing the checkpoint, we made our way up the canyon. I never thought that there would be such fertile land in such a place, everywhere is green, very comfortable, and the red kapok trees on both sides of the canyon in the spring season.

Lao Yan drove the car smoothly along the way, and the villages on the edge of the canyon retreated behind the car, and in the evening we had passed through two checkpoints, seeing that we were about to enter a county seat, but Lao Yan did not take us directly into the city, but went around into a remote village.

"A few have been wronged, let's rest here for one night tonight, and the other group is still on the way, let's wait for them." Lao Yan said as he parked his car in front of an inconspicuous building in the village.

Brother Neng and I both wondered how we would know that the other group was still halfway through the way when we had never seen him contact the outside world.

"Sayoko, has he been in contact with anyone else?" Brother Neng asked in a low voice.

The door of the building suddenly opened, and a very ordinary middle-aged local woman walked out and assumed a gesture of invitation.

Lao Yan led us in.

A small building with a very ordinary appearance, after a special design, there are many rooms, the woman made a big salute to Lao Yan, after Lao Yan whispered a command, the old woman looked at us, and her eyes became much more respectful.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me, the room is ready, please rest for a while, and the old slave will come and invite the adults to dine when dinner is ready." The woman said with a respectful expression.

"Brother, I guess Lao Yan and the guide of the other team are twins." When she saw the woman gone, she said to me.

"You mean telepathy?" I asked.

"What telepathy?" Brother Neng didn't hear the previous words, and hurriedly asked when he heard our conversation vaguely.

"It's not the same question you asked, you said it would be nice if we had telepathy too? There are so many uncertain places to go after that, and so far we can say that we don't know anything except that we know that we want to enter Kunlun Mountain. I thought about the way I was going to and sighed.

"That kind of thing is either brought out of the womb, or it is a long-term cooperation, we have also run in some tacit understanding these few times, and I am afraid that it will be born slowly." Brother Neng comforted.

Although we are called adults, it seems that the treatment is not as good as in the base camp of the Wu clan, and the three of us only arranged two rooms for us. After a closer look, it's time for us to do something.

As night fell, we heard the courtyard below come alive.

"What? That's what you witches are capable of? A familiar and annoying voice came.

The owner who listened to the voice seemed to be the obnoxious old witch.

"Don't stand and talk without backache, I'm afraid your tribe's stronghold outside is not as good as here." An unfamiliar voice said.

After a while, there was a knock on our door, and the woman told us that dinner was ready.

I don't know if something happened, but the old witch didn't say anything after the meal. And what Mi Ye guessed is that the other guide really looks exactly like Lao Yan, the only difference is that he has the majesty of a superior person, no wonder the old witch didn't dare to let go after that sentence.

Without her chirping, the whole meal was eaten very smoothly.

The next morning, when we set out, the other group was nowhere to be seen, and no sound was heard, so it seemed that they were not walking the same road as us, at least they were not driving themselves.

"Lao Yan, was that guide your brother yesterday?" Brother Neng asked boredly.

"Well, my eldest brother, they went the other way, and they left in the middle of the night last night. After that, the road is different, and we will only meet at the destination. Lao Yan said with a smile.

The road was bumpy, and the originally hot weather became colder and colder as it went up the river.

"The weather has changed too much, it's cold." Brother Neng said as he looked at the unmelted snow on the top of the mountain.

"There was still snow on the road ahead, so everyone changed their clothes and I put snow chains on the car." Lao Yan said with a smile. This honest man was smiling all the way, and it was really hard to imagine that he would be from the Wu clan.

He quickly added snow chains to the wheels, and then put on a jacket for himself.

"What's up ahead?" I looked at this village with no shop in front of the village, with a cliff on one side and a slowly flowing turquoise river on the other.

"I don't know what this place is, but this is the closest way to Kunlun." Lao Yan climbed into the cab and said.

I don't know why, the more I walked into this canyon, the more I felt at home.

The road is getting narrower and narrower, and in many places even a tire is pressed against the roadbed to pass, and the snow is blackened by the wheels, and it seems that the dirt is exposed, and on the side of the road are all kinds of children with angelic eyes, who will salute the car when they see it passing by. Brother Neng and I have been bumpy for a long time, and there is snow all the way, so I finally feel a lot better when I see people.

Lao Yan didn't say a word along the way, the road conditions were too bad, if it weren't for his skillful driving skills, I don't think we would have been able to get through.

Originally, I was a little ridiculous at Lao Yan's van, but now it seems that these roads are difficult even for off-road vehicles. Here I have to praise our domestic vans. It is said that Tibetans drive this kind of car to complete this section of the road every year.

"The front is the Yunnan-Tibet border, and there is no place for supplies to go further, there is a restaurant in front of us to rest for one night and hurry tomorrow morning." Lao Yan still said with a smile.

It seems that this is already a Tibetan area, and the last store is a traveler restaurant, which I thought would be opened by Tibetans, but when I took it, it was actually opened by a couple with a Sichuan accent.

After a brief check, we all went back to our rooms to rest.

It seems that because of the higher and higher altitude, there are so many stars in the sky that even the Milky Way can be clearly seen.

"What a starry sky." I sighed in my heart.

The first time I came here, I didn't have altitude sickness at all, and I actually felt a little kind, and in my heart I felt as if something was calling me, and the closer I got to this place, the more peaceful my heart became, and there was a sense of returning to basics. Is it really the same as those who go to Tibet say, Tibet is a place where the soul can be cleansed?

"Brother Neng, do you feel anything?" I asked.

"What does it feel?" Brother Neng thought for a while and asked rhetorically.
