Chapter 180: Sudden Enlightenment
Sure enough, the friendship cultivated in basketball is not so easy to cut off.
Without further ado, after a rough plan of the route and the preparation of the tools to cross the collapsed section, we marched majestically towards the ruins of the ruined temple under the guidance of Sanjay and the rising sun.
I've heard him say before that this Meili Snow Mountain is called Kawagebo Snow Mountain in Tibet. The word "Meili" means "medicine mountain" in Tibetan, and it is named because the mountain is rich in various precious Chinese medicinal materials. At the same time, it is also known as the four sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism, along with Mount Kailash in Tibet, Mount Anima Qing in Qinghai and Mount Gaduo Juewo.
As early as in the distance, we have long been impressed by the style of Meili Snow Mountain, and now, in it, we feel so close to feel the pride and mystery unique to this famous sacred mountain.
Looking up, the surrounding endless snow peaks extend to the horizon, from time to time with the ever-changing sea of clouds, looking at it, after the light and shadow are mixed together, it is really a little difficult to distinguish where is the still cloud, and where is the vast white snow.
According to Sanjay, the main peak in front of us, Kawagebo, means "white snow-capped mountain" in Tibetan. At 6,740 meters above sea level, this snow-capped peak is not only the highest peak of Meili Snow Mountain, but also the highest peak in Yunnan Province. It is said that this sacred peak was incarnated by the gods Kawagebo. Speaking of him, there is also a name that is widely spread among Tibetans, called "God of Snow Mountains".
It is rumored that Kawagebo was originally a fierce god with nine heads and eighteen arms, and was later transformed by Guru Padmasambhava, received lay ordination, and converted to Buddhism, so that he became a member of the gods under the command of King Gesar, the son of a thousand Buddhas, and since then he has ruled the border land and the blessed snowy region. After becoming famous, he turned into a majestic and mighty snow peak, standing among the Meili mountains, and has always guarded the industrious and simple Tibetans.
Since then, the statue of Kawagebo has often been enshrined on the altar, and I have seen several of them even in Sanjay's house. I remember the appearance of his god, riding a white horse, holding a long sword, majestic, like the image of a protective god.
On the south side of Kawagebo Peak, there stands the softly lined Mianzim Peak. In Tibetan, "Mientsem" means "goddess of the sea." Legend has it that Mi Tzum was the wife of Kawagebo Peak. And the process of meeting and knowing each other, and then falling in love, also has a certain drama.
It is said that when Kawagebo accompanied King Gesar on his expedition to the kingdom of Bad Luohai, King Evil Luohai wanted to deceive them, so he pretended to marry the peerless beauty Tssim Xu to Kawagebo, in a vain attempt to turn against him against King Gesar. Unexpectedly, after Kawagebo and Mianzimu met, they fell in love at first sight and fell in love with each other, but instead swore to Mount Kinabalu that they would never be separated.
And after the wishful thinking of the king of Evil Luohai failed, he had to bow down to the powerful King Gesar.
Sanjay saw that the four of us listened with relish, and he couldn't stop talking. From his mouth, we know that there is another saying: according to legend, Mian Cimu is the daughter of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and after marrying Kawagebo as his wife, he still misses his hometown. So, after making great achievements in Kawagebo, becoming famous, and turning into a sacred mountain, she also turned into a face of her hometown.
On this enchanting and soft snow-capped peak, there are always clouds and mist, and everyone is accustomed to calling it "the shy veil of the face". It can be regarded as a lofty praise for this woman who would rather give up everything for love.
Along the way, listening to Sanjay's proud narration, we in snow suits walked deep and shallow, but we didn't feel bored. Sanjay's story is not finished yet, and we are slowly coming to the cliff that we decided to turn back on the last imposing time.
This crevice that suddenly appeared in the mountain is seven or eight meters wide, and the depth is nearly 100 meters, and this dark deep hole is extremely dazzling in the surrounding white snow.
After Sharon laid out the tools in his hiking bag, I roughly estimated the distance, and felt that this width was only a small case for me, who had already stepped into the door with half of my feet. So, I only picked a long, flexible hardy hiking rope and handed one end to Sharon, while I dragged the other end to the edge of the cliff.
I glanced at the white smooth cliff on the side of the mountain next to the crack, estimated it again, and after confirming that it was foolproof, I secretly increased the synchronization rate of the flesh to 30 percent.
When she turned around, she saw that Sharon had secured the rope to a rock jutting out of the snow. Yes, this foreign girl doesn't talk much, but when she gets started, it's really good. Seeing this, I couldn't help but want to recruit her under my command and help me do things.
Other than that, I'd like to swear to God, there's absolutely no personal preference involved.
Seeing that I was in a daze, the boy in the cabinet didn't even intend to save me face at all, but through the deep ditch, his hands were trumpeted, and he pretended to be loud (he definitely didn't dare to shout really, after all, he was afraid of causing a dangerous avalanche, so he had to pretend to perform) shouted at me:
"Brother—don't stare at Miss Sharon, you better hurry up and find a place to tie the rope! We've been waiting for the flowers~"
Depend on! This guy! With that said, how am I going to talk to Sharon about employment in the future?
Thinking of this, I had to make an awkward "OK" gesture to the people opposite, and then I turned around and found a solid rock protrusion, and fixed the end of the climbing rope firmly on it.
When the remaining four people crawled along the rope, I also hurried to climb to the height, wanting to take advantage of the sunny weather to see if there was any trace of the broken temple in front of me. Who knows, I just climbed a snow slope, the weather has suddenly changed, and the sun, which was still dripping to work, has already left the post at this time, and hid in the surging sea of clouds.
Well, as the visibility around me became worse and worse, I simply gave up the idea of climbing up and looking into the distance, so I had to honestly return to the edge of the cliff and start the journey plan with the people who climbed one after another.
Seeing the falling goose feather snow getting heavier and heavier, Sanjay had to suggest that we untie the safety ropes and tie each other around the waist of the previous one, so that we would not get lost in the snowstorm with visibility of less than five meters. As a guide, Sanjay plans to find the ruined temple that he and his friends have "explored" several times when he was a child.
Searching for a dead object with almost zero psionic fluctuations in a bad weather environment like this is useless for my mind. As a result, the leadership of the team had to be handed over to Sanjay to be responsible.
Fortunately, when he was a child, he often helped his family go up the mountain to collect medicine, and he really deserved to be able to memorize the "living map" of the large and small monasteries on Kawagebo Peak - I didn't feel a bag of cigarettes, and Sanjay found the ruins of the dilapidated temple in the snowy world.
"This is it." Sanjay pointed to the ruined temple where the main entrance had collapsed and half of the courtyard had been buried in thick snow, and said to us confidently. As soon as the words came out, the snow above his head seemed to have fallen enough, and he stopped drifting, and after a while, the sun, who was skipping work and lazy, returned to his post as usual.
Damn, fool us?! This ghost weather.
"It's more desolate than you think, here."
I looked around, not to mention a single figure, I had never seen the footprints of animals or the leaves of plants, and even the alpine vultures, who had followed us as if we were mountaineers who would be killed at any moment, did not know where they were at this moment.
Like orphans abandoned by God, it is really unaccustomed to leaving us in this lonely world for the first time.
After a while, after realizing that I was picky, I adjusted my mood, returned to my normal state of mind, shrugged my shoulders, and patiently followed Sanjay, from the side of the doorway that was crushed by the heavy snow, and turned into this ruined temple that may not have been visited for more than a hundred years.
After entering the temple gate, we were pleased to find that the interior was not as rotten as the outside, and although the snow had penetrated the roof and seeped into the wings of the snow-covered part, the remaining rooms, except for the usable things and baggage, were almost left here with the carvings of the gods inside and outside.
The temple was not large, and there were not many places left that had not been damaged by avalanches, so our group divided into two groups and searched the entire temple in less than a stick of incense. It's just that the harvest is far smaller than imagined.
It may be that it is too old, or it may be that the original style of the temple has lost its old charm due to repeated renovations. While the cabinet and Mengzhao searched for the treasures that might have been lost, I also tried my best to take Sharon in a vain attempt to find the scene I had seen from Princess Ava's memories at that time, and as soon as the two teams converged, I realized how helpless it was to find nothing.
In despair, the cabinet, which was disappointed that it couldn't find good things, couldn't help but slap it on the side wall of the main hall, and it was right to vent, but to our surprise, the wall that felt quite solid was cracked one by one.
Looking through the shattered hole, a hidden dark room was revealed. Using the pathfinder flashlight, I found that the idol in the dark room seemed to rotate exactly 90 degrees towards what I saw in the main hall before.
When I saw the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but suddenly realize! Yes, how do you feel that from the time you came in, you faintly felt that this place was different from what you saw in your impression, it turned out that when the whole temple was rebuilt with a new courtyard, it was even the direction of the main hall and the main gate.
No wonder Fang didn't recognize it. Tomb Hunter East White
