Chapter 150: Set off on the shores of the Divine Lake
The plane landed slowly, and at the exit of Gongga Airport on the south bank of the magnificent Brahmaputra River, Wu Ze, Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi walked out one by one and loaded the prepared equipment into an off-road vehicle rented in advance.
"Fatty, seriously, you are sure that you want to come with this ** trip, the danger will definitely not be less than that underground cave in southern Xinjiang"
Wu Ze said to Luo Fatzi with a serious face, but Luo Fatzi nodded very resolutely.
"Fat aunt is sick, I'll help you find a way with money"
Luo Fatzi looked at Wu Ze and whispered: "From childhood to adulthood, you have to bear everything for me, but now it should be up to me to bear it, my mother's illness needs a lot of money, and my sister also needs a lot of money to study, after all, what you give is not as good as what I earn myself."
Wu Ze nodded whether he spoke again, as a brother, he knew that Luo Fatzi had made up his mind, although this little fat man was obscene, lustful, and afraid of death in the eyes of many people, but Wu Ze knew that once Luo Fatzi felt something, he would be very resolute and persist to the end.
Jiang Yan stuffed the last bag into the off-road vehicle, and at this time I also heard their conversation, at first Jiang Yan was also unimpressed with Luo Fatzi, but in the underground cave in southern Xinjiang, although the fat man was injured several times and became a drag oil bottle by the upper body, it played a great role at the critical moment.
Especially every time Wu Ze is in distress and says that he is in difficulty, this little fat man seems to have suddenly changed into a person, brave and strong, and daring to do it
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh a little at this wonderful pair who grew up together.
"Get in the car and go, there's still a long way to go."
The information that Jiang Yan bought at a high price shows that the last place where the Germans investigated was still a very long distance from Lhasa, from the most difficult Ali area, all the way to the north, close to the Qiangtang Luma River Dongcuo area, which is now a national nature reserve and is rarely visited.
"Miss Jiang Yan, shall we leave now?"
A young Tibetan man with a flushed face shouted in a somewhat stiff Chinese that this was the driver of the trip, and he would carry everyone to their destination.
Jiang Yan nodded, motioned for Wu Ze and Luo Fatzi to get in the car, and the off-road vehicle roared and gradually moved away from the airport.
The high snow-capped mountains in the distance, the yaks grazing on both sides, and the beautiful seas that shine like diamonds along the way, and the pious kowtowers, if it weren't for the task, Wu Ze felt that if he had time to come here for vacation or tourism, it would be really a good thing.
"Are you here to climb the mountain, do you have a mountain climbing permit?"
The off-road vehicle drove on the bumpy and steep national highway, and there were many fewer vehicles coming and going along the way, and the driver, a Tibetan young man named Tenzin, asked with some curiosity.
Jiang Yan smiled slightly and did not answer.
"Do you want to cross the Qiangtang, this kind of weather is very bad, there is no man's land, the strongest shepherds, at this time will not go inside to graze, not to mention where there are a lot of wild wolves"
"You are very familiar with Qiangtang, and you should be very familiar with the area around Ruma Jiangdongcuo."
Tenzin smiled and said, "My home is in Ritu County, which also belongs to the scope of the Qiangtang Reserve."
"Then have you ever heard of Shambala?"
After Wu Ze said this, Tenzin's expression changed drastically, his eyes were full of fear, as if he had heard something terrifying, and he said to himself: "Shambala, it is full of corpses, demonic caves, and those who enter there will never be reborn."
"You don't want to look for Shambala, I advise you not to go, it's a place that is cursed by nature, and it's full of evil spirits that can't be reincarnated."
Wu Ze and Jiang Yan glanced at each other, then shook their heads and said, "Thank you for reminding us, but we are just going to the Ruma River to do some investigation and protection work on Tibetan sheep."
call
Tenzin was visibly relieved, but his face was still not very good-looking, and he lost interest in talking at this time.
The off-road vehicle sped away on bumpy rough roads
For nearly ten hours, holding in the car, Wu Ze felt that he was about to be torn apart, at this time the car stopped, there was no road in front, the off-road vehicle could not pass, and they had to march on foot.
With the experience of the southern Xinjiang cave last time, Jiang Yan purchased the international first-line snow mountain exploration equipment this time, and the basic food and medicine were very sufficient, and the guns they got in the southern Xinjiang cave last time were also secretly brought over, and Jiang Yan also prepared a lot of ammunition through his own channels.
Black donkey hooves, cinnabar ink bucket line, coffin claws, and a number of tools to be used to explore the tomb, Wu Ze is also fully prepared this time, last time in southern Xinjiang, because of Sun Ruhai, he didn't bring these things, which directly led to many dangers.
"You must be careful, if you encounter something wrong, you must quickly retreat, this season to do a Tibetan antelope protection survey, it is really not a good time, if you are interested in Shambala, but you must dispel this idea If you encounter any danger, remember to call me, I can help you call the police"
Tenzin, a Tibetan young man, said kindly, Wu Ze and they nodded, signaled until, thanked him again, and began to trek.
It was almost evening, the temperature plummeted, Wu Ze, Jiang Yan and Luo Fatzi all put on winter clothes, and slowly walked forward according to the yellowed simple map that Jiang Yan got.
Whew
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the top of the snow-capped mountains, and eagles fly by in the sky.
Luo Fatzi said with some relief: "It seems that the ecology here is very well protected, and there are so many eagles"
"I'm afraid they're not eagles, they're vultures," Jiang Yan said.
"Vulture"
Luo Fatzi looked at Wu Ze beside him, waiting for him to explain.
"**The burial customs here are very different from our Central Plains, and their previous funeral methods include sky burial, tower collection, cremation and other forms."
"The custom of celestial burial is still preserved to this day, and the dead are fed to the sacred birds in the sky, so that the souls of people will naturally go to heaven."
Jiang Yan continued to say to Wu Ze as she walked: "The specific way is that after death, the body is curled up, the head is bent on the knees, the posture is sitting, wrapped in a white quilt, placed on the earthen platform on the right side behind the door, and the lama is asked to recite the Sutra of Transcendence. On the auspicious day, the corpse will be carried to the heavenly burial platform by the person who carries the corpse, and the "mulberry" smoke is lit first to attract vultures, and the lama finishes chanting, and the corpse is dismembered by the celestial burial master."
"Because the vulture does not want to eat bones, so when the vulture is buried, the skull or other bones are thrown out first, so that the vulture can eat it clean, and finally the other parts, if the bones are not eaten clean, it means that the deceased is unclean, and it is very likely that he will not be able to go to heaven in the end."
Hearing Jiang Yan and Wu Ze say this, Luo Fatzi nodded as if he didn't understand, he remembered one thing, after the heavenly burial, it was basically shameless bones, representing the deceased to go to heaven. ~ Good search basket color, you can read the following chapters as soon as possible
