The rivers and lakes are far away Chapter 57 Gongga Wonderland: Marching to Gongga Mountain

We were a group of six people, on the bus from Chengdu to Kangding County, on the way we will first go to Ya'an City, and then take the Yakang Highway, the whole journey is about three hours by car, if nothing else, we can arrive at the hotel before dawn.

"Wang Qiang, let's tell you about the plan to enter the mountain first." Roman Man said to Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang nodded, looked around among us and said: "This time we went up the mountain from the northwest ridge, this route is the easiest of several uphill routes, but because our mission is not to reach the top, we can't return quickly, but to stay in the mountains for many days, the climate of the snow-capped mountains is changeable, and everyone can't take it lightly at any time." ”

"Let's go to Kangding County for one night, go to the new Gongga Temple tomorrow morning, and then drive to Zimei Village, pass through the old Gongga Temple to the Gongba Glacier and climb the 6394 ridge, which is what we often call the northwest ridge. According to the plan, our exploration range is from Ridge 6394 to the header and finally to Yanzigou, where the highest altitude is expected to exceed 6000 meters. Our route is different from the tourist route you have found on the Internet, we are going to set foot on the main peak of Gongga Mountain, and you are all novices with no experience in mountaineering, so this journey will be extremely difficult. ”

To be honest, even though they sent me a map, I was almost dazzled by the list of place names he had just made, even by the markings on the map. What is the upside-down chong, swallow ditch, after listening to it, I only have the picture of the little swallow played by Zhao Wei upside down in my mind.

I only heard Romanman nod and said: "Don't worry about this, our physique is far beyond ordinary people, and our goal is not to reach the top, if someone is unwell, you can reduce the altitude appropriately." ”

Wang Qiang then said solemnly: "We will completely follow the route that your sect disappeared people walked last time, the instrument shows that the altitude of their disappearance is 5,894 meters, and we will stay in that position for a day at most, and then we will have to go around the inverted chong, and finally descend from the Yanzigou Glacier." ”

"No problem, it's up to you." Roman Man smiled and said, "Do you have any questions?" ”

I saw that everyone didn't react, and they should have been stunned by a bunch of place names, so I had to take the lead in asking: "Brother Wang, how many times have you climbed Gongga Mountain?" ”

Wang Qiang replied lightly: "Five times, but each time I returned with a feather." ”

"I heard that your father once reached the top?" I asked again.

Wang Qiang smiled slightly, and finally took off his serious expression: "That was twenty years ago. The route they took to the top was very difficult, and I tried it, and I almost ended up sleeping on Gongga Mountain. If it weren't for luck, I would have been one of the countless souls under the snow layer of Gongga Mountain by now, right? Ha ha. ”

"Revenant? Who died? ”

Liu Zheng, who had been dozing off since he got in the car, suddenly woke up, and his ignorant look made the whole car laugh.

The road was bumpy, and it was late at night, so everyone was a little sleepy on the road, and they leaned on their seats one after another and began to nap. I noticed that Lin Siqi had been staring out the window, looking thoughtful. I put a hand in front of her, shook it, and said, "What do you think?" ”

Lin Siqi looked out the window with both eyes, looked at the speeding scenery and muttered, "I don't know what happened to Senior Brother Providence's team." ”

When I heard this name, I immediately remembered Wang Tianyi, who had a relationship five years ago, and he was also the leader of the young disciples in the supernatural circle today. I asked, "Did he go into the mountains too?" ”

Lin Siqi nodded slightly: "Well, they should enter the mountain a day earlier than us, if it goes well, they are already on the mountain now." ”

"What are they from that...... Is the Northwest Ridge uphill? ”

"No, they walk the northeast ridge, and there is a group of professional mountaineering teams who walk the most difficult southeast ridge."

"So we can't touch it?" For some reason, I suddenly felt a hint of joy in my heart.

"I guess so." Lin Siqi said nonchalantly.

At two o'clock in the morning, we arrived in Kangding County, and after a night's rest in the pre-booked hotel, we set off again the next morning for the new Gongga Temple.

As mentioned before, the new Gongga Monastery was built by the second Gongga Living Buddha Mashe Dengpa, which was built in the 14th century and is located on a mountainside in the back mountain of Gongga Mountain Township. When we arrived, we were greeted by a lama named Nima, who was dressed in a heavy Tibetan suit and smelled of incense. Probably due to the influence of the previous murder, the temple was not open to the public for a while, and there were only a few lamas in the courtyard, which seemed very deserted. However, whether it is the Mahavira Hall, the Dharma Protector Hall, or the monks' houses where the lamas live, they all look very magnificent and gorgeous, and they should have been renovated in recent years.

Nyima is somewhat old, and he is currently serving as the temporary abbot of New Gongga Monastery. After learning of our intention, he took us to the scene of the murder, where all kinds of white flags and white lanterns were hanging in the Buddha's light-filled treasure hall, and the atmosphere was very solemn. The temple is said to be the golden body of the Gongga living Buddha Karmapa, and there is a black vajra crown pattern on one side, Nima introduced it as "black hat", according to legend, it is woven by 100,000 female believers of the living Buddha each donating a strand of hair, inlaid with black gemstones, it is the totem of the Kagyu school, that is, a Tibetan Buddhism, and there are many of their believers in Sichuan Province. In addition, the entire hall has been searched by the police, and it is impossible to leave any evidence or clues.

Nima saw what had happened, but he was old and spoke slowly, and it took a lot of effort to tell the whole story, no different from the content of the previous report. I found a picture of the master on my phone for him to identify, but he said that his eyes were not good, and he called a disciple named Zabu to identify it for him.

Zabu only glanced at it, and then said with great confidence: "It's him, I saw it with my own eyes, and I will never admit it." ”

"Take a closer look." I flipped through a few more photos, but Zabu kept nodding his head, firmly believing that the murderer he saw was my master Chen Yuchou!

I said to Zabu with a bitter face, "Are there any other lamas who have seen it, let them identify it too?" ”

Lin Siqi suddenly patted me on the shoulder, whispered in my ear and said, "Forget it, we have already confirmed them one by one with the photos, but anyone who has seen a straight face will say that the person is your master." ”

"Impossible!" I screamed, and found that I had attracted the attention of many lamas, so I lowered my voice and gritted my teeth, "It is impossible for my master to kill people!" ”

Lin Siqi stared at her eyebrows, and said with some displeasure: "We don't want to believe it, that's why we brought you here, don't be ignorant!" ”

"Uh, I'm sorry." I quickly calmed down, I knew that Lin Siqi had good intentions, and the top priority was to find the master, and all this would be revealed. As for where to find him, the only clue is the legend of Gongga Wonderland, and the master should not appear here by chance, and the two must be closely related.

"Hmph, this girl has a lot of energy, spare you once." Lin Siqi pouted and said.

Next, we are ready to transfer to the van and go to Zimei Village, from where we will enter the mountains. However, due to the rough mountain road, the van had not yet arrived, so we were arranged to rest in two monastic houses. These monastic houses were two-person rooms, with a lot of felt hanging on the walls, and the rooms were very clean, so we sat on our beds and waited for the van to arrive.

During this period, Liu Zheng asked me: "Brother Chen, are you afraid?" ”

I nodded and said, "I'm not afraid." ”

"Are you afraid or not...... Liu Zheng said with a blank face.

"Learn to numb yourself." I spread my hands out, looking quite helpless.

If you want to say that I am afraid, I must be a little bit, so many supernatural circle peers have not been able to get out of Gongga Mountain, not to mention that they have to climb the snow mountain and challenge the limit of physical strength, I am not better than those people. Moreover, a few people from the Pure Fu Sect conducted some intensive training before entering the mountain, but I was a single person, and I just got on it, how could I not be worried?

Wang Qiang said: "I am very familiar with this road, and I can try my best to ensure your safety from the perspective of mountaineering." But if something supernatural happens, you're up to yourselves. ”

In the dozens of minutes of waiting for the bus, our mood is a little heavy, for the unknown danger ahead, who can guarantee that the whole body will escape?
