24 The place of the winter camp

"Are you attached to him?" I was stunned.

"You're right, there's an enchantment near that statue, it's so powerful that not only spirits can't get close, but people will also be confused and unconscious," he continued, "When our first leader, Batur Huntaiji, conquered Bortala and came to this place during a safari, and he and his guards were bewitched on that mountain for two days and three nights before they came out. Later, Balmala Hutuktu from Tibet came to Dzungar as a guest, and Batur Huntaiji asked him to explain the problem. After Balmala Hutuktu came here to see it, he said that there were ancient mausoleums and a very powerful barrier. ”

"He can't break it?" Miao Yi asked.

He nodded, "He said it wasn't his duty to interfere with it. He suggested that Batur Huntaji set Bortala as a place for winter camp, and enshrined this generation as a place of sacrifice, and when he went up the mountain, he would be able to see the ancient stone statue. Three hundred years ago, every winter the nobles of our tribe would go there to worship the gods. ”

"Since there is an enchantment, why are you all right?" I asked.

"Barmala Hutuktu said that although the barrier was powerful, there was a secret path in it that could be entered", and he walked very fast, "It was through the secret path that he guided the nobles to reach the stone statue safely. It was for this reason that Aunt Anu asked me to hide another treasure map there. ”

"Then is this secret way known to all the quasi-gar nobles?"

"Of course not," he said, "only a few people know that I am one of them." ”

I looked at Miao Yi, "Yes, it seems that I didn't get it all right, let's go in the secret path and find out the map, I thought I had to break the feng shui array!" ”

"If you want to break it, it's not that you can't do it," Miao Yi said.

"I said, I won't let him go in vain, don't worry, just follow me", he stopped to look at the two of us, "If you want to break that barrier then, you can do it." ”

I felt at ease, "Let's talk about this question later, let's go find the map first, let's go!" ”

We walked for nearly two hours, and after going up the mountain, Aso led us on a labyrinthine procession, leading us around the Path. In the Way, our consciousness is very clear, but we can also feel that the aura around us is very different from that of the mountain, and there is a sense of restlessness.

I looked back at Miao Yi, "This seems to be a ** formation or something, it belongs to the fire formation, how are you?" ”

Her face flushed and she ** slightly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

When it comes to the fire formation, she is far more sensitive than me.

I subconsciously took her hand and integrated some of my internal qi into her body, which could help her restrain the fire around her.

She shuddered slightly, stopped, and closed her eyes.

"Aso, wait!" I shouted and held Miao Yi, "Don't be afraid, relax......"

Aso also stopped, "Does it matter if she wants it?" ”

"She's a little uncomfortable," I said.

After a few seconds, Miao Yi opened his eyes, his face was much better, and his breathing was calmer.

"Is it still uncomfortable?" I looked at her.

She looked at me and said, "It's better, it's okay, let's keep walking." ”

"I'll carry you on my back", I turned.

She pressed my waist, "I can walk on my own." ”

"You can't stop in the Way for long," said Asso, "hurry up." ”

"Hmm", I took her Miao Yi's hand, "Let's go." ”

Continuing to walk forward, after crossing a mountain stream, Aso was stunned and pointed to a forest not far away, "That forest, there was no one before." ”

"You haven't been here for over 300 years, and you've changed a long time ago," I said, "as long as you're in the right direction, you can't go wrong with the Way." ”

She looked at the two of us and nodded, "Let's go ahead then." ”

After walking through the woods, a boulder appeared in front of him, and Asso breathed a sigh of relief, "This is it. ”

I wondered, "Didn't you say it was a stone statue?" How is it a stone? ”

Asso didn't speak, and walked directly towards the stone statue, obviously much faster than just now.

"Do you think this is the hinterland of the Central Plains?" Miao Yi said, "This is a stone statue from the ancient Western Regions, and you can only see it clearly when you get close." ”

I nodded, "Okay, let's go." ”

Miao Yi is right, it is indeed a stone statue from the ancient Western Regions, and you can see it when you get close. This stone statue is very tall, more than three meters long, it looks a bit like a certain king of the ancient Western Regions, because it is too old, the carvings on it have been weathered, not to mention the blur, and it feels a little weird.

There were still more than ten meters away from the stone statue, and Asso stopped us, "You guys are waiting here, I'll go and take out the picture." ”

"Good!" I pulled Miao Yi back two steps.

Aso took off Zhang Teng's backpack, took out a knife and a shovel from it, and then knelt down on one knee and said a few Mongolian words, as if praying. Then she stood up, took a knife and shovel, walked over to the statue, and after a few circles around it, she knelt down on one knee again on the right side of the statue.

This time, she was chanting a mantra.

Judging from all indications, before Asso was certified as a reincarnated living Buddha, she should have been a sorcerer in the tribe, otherwise how could she know the secret way? And how can you use spells? Although Tibetan Buddhism also practices tantric mantras, my intuition tells me that the mantra she just used is definitely not Lamaism, it is more like shamanism.

After reciting the incantation, she slashed Zhang Teng's arm with her knife, dripping blood under the stone statue. After the blood sacrifice, she picked up a shovel and began to dig up the earth beneath the statue.

She had great strength, and she dug very quickly, and in a short time she dug a small hole, and then she threw away the shovel and dug up the soil in the pit by hand, and finally dug an object out of it. She fell to her knees, folded her hands, prayed for a moment, got up, picked up the object, and returned to us.

"The treasure map, it's here," she said, placing the object on the ground.

Now we can see clearly, it turned out to be a bottle made of gold! The wide-mouthed bottle, which is thirty centimeters high, and the width of the bottle belly is about twenty-five or six centimeters, is very beautiful, with many scriptures and incantations engraved on it, as well as three animal patterns, namely, Hai Dongqing, Blue Wolf and White Deer.

"This is the treasure vase that the Qing Emperor gave to Khalkha Zhebo Zundanba Hutuktu," she said, "The treasure map is inside, and the bottle is also given to you, so I will thank the pony." ”

"This ......," I was a little confused, "is it too precious?" It's okay to have a picture, is this bottle appropriate for me to hold? ”

Asso smiled calmly, "This vase is our Junggar's trophy, so it's naturally appropriate to give it to a friend." Now that Dzungar is gone, I don't need it, so if I don't give it to you, will I give it to this tomb robber? ”

I looked at Miao Yi, "Then I'll take it?" ”

Miao Yi glanced at me, "What are you asking me for?" ”

I smiled and looked at Asso again, "Then you're welcome!" ”

Asso smiled and looked at the two of us, "You take it back, open it again in three days, I will give it to you, the place of hidden treasure, you can only go by yourself." ”

"Well, I'm already grateful", I took off her bag from Miao Yi's shoulder and put the golden treasure bottle inside, "We'll do the rest ourselves." ”

She nodded, and took out a crystal white jade piece from her pocket, "This, you give it to this tomb robber, I said that if I don't let him, he will be let go in vain." ”

I took it and looked at it, and there were a few strange patterns carved on it, which together looked like an eagle, "What is this?" ”

"The amulet of Attila the Huns," she said, "was given to the Great Khan by the Rakshasas when he sacrificed that winter, and he buried it under the idol of the god as a sacrifice." ”

"Attila!" I was stunned, "You're not mistaken, are you?" This is Attila's amulet? Lao Maozi was willing to give it to Geerdan? ”

Attila, the king of the Huns, is a nightmare for the Western world.

During the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu, who had suffered heavy losses from the Han army, fell apart, and one group migrated westward to Central Asia and Eastern Europe. Hundreds of years later, their power grew stronger, and their ruler was Attila.

The Huns, known as the "Whip of God" in Western historiography, were sent as hostages to the Western Roman court as a teenager, where he was educated and collected all kinds of information about the Roman Empire. Because of his good foundation in Romanesque education, when he became the leader of the Huns, he reorganized his politics, strengthened his army, and then began a stormy attack on the Western world.

To put it simply, there are two people from the East who make Westerners and Western history tremble, the first is the brutal Attila the Great; The second is Genghis Khan and his descendants.

Westerners believe in God and like to interpret everything as God's meaning, just as the ancient Greeks associated everything with the Olympian gods, and they interpreted the disaster caused by Attila as God's punishment, so they called him "God's whip".

Actually, Attila didn't know what God's old man's last name was, but that didn't matter anymore.

Because of Attila's illustrious prestige, his amulet should be regarded as a treasure by Western monarchs, and it was Peter the Great who ruled Russia in Geldan's time, how could he be willing to give this thing to the barbaric Kalmyk Khan in the remote land? (Note: Lao Maozi called the Zungar people Kalmyks, and Geldan was the Kalmyk Khan.) οΌ‰

"It's not going to be a fake, is it?" I asked Asso, "Old Mao is so shrewd that he would be willing to give this to you Great Khan of Geldan?" ”

"The Rakshasa Emperor gave this to the Great Khan of Geldan in order to make him accomplish great things like Attila," said Aso, "but not to the west, but to the eastβ€”to unify Mongolia, contain the Qing Emperor, and restore the great cause of Genghis Khan's time." The Rakshasa people did not have a good impression of the Huns, and regarded them as devils, so this amulet was naturally not a precious thing. ”

I nodded, "Okay, you're willing to do it, it's worth a lot now!" Zhang Teng, this kid has made a fortune! ”

Miao Yi raised his eyebrows, "Reluctant?" ”

"How come", I smiled, "Sixty percent is for the two of us, one and a half." ”

Miao Yi shook his head and was speechless.

Asso smiled, "It's because of your sixty percent that I gave this to him." Okay, you've found it, pony, do you want to break this barrier? ”
