Chapter 20 Entering the Qiangtang
"Northwest?" I muttered, nodded, and asked, "Are there any road signs nearby?" ”
Guru Tenzin shook his head and said directly, no.
"Are there any place names there? Like what kind of mountain, what kind of intersection......." I asked expectantly.
Hearing my question, Guru Tenzin shook his head again and said, "No."
"Fuck...... There's no signpost, so how can I find it......." I muttered.
"That's why it's hard to ....... I can't remember how far away that place is....... But at least it's dozens of miles away......." Guru Tenzin said helplessly: "Your grandfather and they have already entered Qiangtang, but they can't find a place, I can't guarantee this." ”
As soon as the words fell, Guru Tenzin laughed and patted me lightly on the knee.
"But don't be afraid, your grandfather hasn't shown up until now, there are only two possibilities, either they haven't found a place, or they can't get out in danger, I think the former is more likely." Master Tenzin smiled and said, "I also searched for a few days, but I didn't find any clues that appeared in the Spirit Mountain, and your grandfather and they wanted to climb the Spirit Mountain easily...... I'm afraid it's difficult. ”
"I hope so." I sighed.
The Qiangtang uninhabited area is a forbidden place for ordinary humans, not to mention surviving in the Qiangtang for a period of time, or driving through the uninhabited area, I am afraid that you have to take a lot of risks.
But the old man is obviously not afraid of this, with the old man and Miao Wu here, I don't think Qiangtang can threaten them.
Nothing but the dangers of the old religion.
"Senior Tenzin, has anyone been in and out of the Qiangtang no-man's land recently?" I asked.
Guru Tenzin did not hesitate, he shook his head directly and said: "In our direction, within a radius of a hundred miles, there are my disciples staring, no one has ever approached the Qiangtang, but the entrance to the Qiangtang in other directions is not easy to say, the Qiangtang is too big, even if there are ten times more people than a hundred times, they can't keep an eye on it." ”
"I've got to go in and have a look." I said, raising my hand and hugging my fist at Master Tenzin: "Senior, thank you for showing me the way, and when I find the old man and them, I will come back and thank you." ”
Master Tenzin sighed: "Thank me, I don't have to, I just hope that Shen Xiaoyou can do us a favor, if the monster I foresaw really descended on Tibet, I hope you can help us resist for a while......."
"No problem." I was busy answering.
"I'd love to help you, but unfortunately my body doesn't have a fight." Guru Tenzin smiled bitterly and said, "If you let a cripple like me follow, it will ruin your business." ”
As he spoke, Guru Tenzin raised his hand and put his hands together and recited two Buddha names.
"Shen Xiaoyou, Lingshan is no better than the ordinary, I hope you don't be careless, be careful in everything."
Seeing this, Chen Qiuyan and I hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and after listening to a few words of instructions from Lama Tenzin, we took our leave.
Walking out of this dilapidated brick house, I found that the people standing outside the door were gone, and I don't know when they started to run to the cliff on the side of the mountain, far away from the old house.
When I walked over with Chen Qiuyan, the lamas bypassed us and returned to the old house.
I only heard a muffled bang, and the door was closed by them, which was quite like a closed door.
"I didn't offend them...... Why do these lamas look a little unkind......." I muttered as I looked back at the closed door.
Soba smiled and patted me on the shoulder: "Master Tenzin's recent health has been very poor, he has spent too much energy to see you, and the loss of his body cannot be made up for in a short time, so his apprentices ...... I hate you. ”
As soon as I heard Soba's explanation, I lost my anger and blushed a little.
"Let's go, brother, I'll take you down the mountain." Soba smiled: "Seeing that you are in such a hurry, you should not be able to wait to enter Qiangtang, right?" ”
"Yes, let's go to the northwest of this mountain, and walk straight over." I said busily, but when I thought that Soba hadn't eaten or rested, I hurriedly added: "Brother Soba, why don't you go back and rest first, and then we will leave when you slow down." ”
"It's okay." Soba smiled and said, "You are my friend, the matter of friends is bigger than the sky, let's leave now!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Soba didn't say anything polite to us, and the leader walked down the mountain, looking very anxious with his hurried steps.
"The car is right down the mountain, and I'm ready for all the things you need to enter the no-man's land." Soba said without looking back, and then asked me, "Shall we go northwest?" Have you already asked where the person you are looking for is? ”
As soon as I heard Soba's words, I immediately understood something.
When I was talking to Master Tenzin about Lingshan before, those lamas and Sopa probably didn't hear it, and nine times out of ten, the lamas took Soba to avoid it.
Since Guru Tenzin doesn't want outsiders to know about this, then I don't need to say it.......
"Yes, in the northwest, where exactly...... Got the place to look again. I nodded.
"The food and water in the car are only enough for us for a month, I hope we can find the person you are looking for during this time, if we can't find it, we have to quit and resupply." Soba said.
"One month...... That should be enough......." I nodded.
Soba's car was an SUV parked where we had parked when we came, with the trunk full of stuff and something like a tent strapped to the roof.
Took out the compass and determined the direction, and Soba drove us to the Qiangtang no man's land.
I have to say that this guy is also vigorous enough, just go, while driving the car, beckoning us to eat something to cushion our stomachs.
"Before I go, I have to tell you that Qiangtang is not as good as the outside world, the climate is very large, and the situation is changeable, and you will often meet some wild animals......." Soba and the tour guide were like a guide, and instructed us in an orderly manner: "There is no absolute certainty, don't leave our car, just the clothes you are wearing, plus the ones I brought, it is not enough for Qiangtang to freeze you overnight, it is more dangerous to meet brown bears and other animals, those are the enemies that can kill." ”
Hearing Soba's words, Chen Qiuyan and I both smiled and nodded, saying that we remembered it and would definitely not mess around.
I guess Soba still treats us as ordinary gentlemen, but it is undeniable that the serious expression on his face when he says these words is really touching.
I could feel that he was genuinely thinking about us.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Suddenly, Soba asked me.
At this moment, it is getting late, and in the cloudless sky, there are countless stars that we can see at a glance.
The stars in the sky are brilliant, spectacular, and add a little poetry.
It's also part of the plateau, and there's hardly anything to obstruct the view.......
"It's really beautiful...... I leaned against the car window, and saw this unforgettable scene, and my anxious mood calmed down a lot, and I just felt that the whole person was quiet.
Maybe it's because there are no traffic lights here, and there are no other cars, so Soba stepped on the accelerator hard, and the driving was like flying an airplane, and it didn't take us long before we came to the edge of Qiangtang.
Unlike before, in the wasteland not far away, I could see not only weeds and yellow sand, but also many dry riverbeds and animal bones.
The atmosphere was originally quite romantic, but at this moment it was also reflected a little desolate by this scene.
Before entering the no-man's land, Soba took out the map and compass to determine the route, confirmed it several times, and made sure that there was no problem, so he started the car and drove us to the Qiangtang no man's land.
Feeling this desolation in my face, I couldn't help but think wildly in my head.
Old man, why did they come to this little spirit mountain?
Is it to heal your legs?
I don't think so.
Maybe they think...... No....... There was only one thing on the old man's mind.
He knows what the situation is now, so he wants to help me, but he doesn't want to be a burden to me.
"Shi'an!"
At this time, I suddenly heard Chen Qiuyan calling me, and when I turned my head, I saw that she was leaning against the car window with a worried face, looking at the sky.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
As I spoke, I also leaned against the car window and looked up like Chen Qiuyan.
At this glance, I realized that I don't know when the sky above us was occupied by many birds.
They didn't make a sound, but they just didn't want to leave us, and kept hovering in the sky.
"What a bird....... Soba also saw this scene, and muttered with a puzzled face: "It doesn't look like a big ......"
I looked back, and I just thought something was wrong.
These thousands of birds hovering in the air are not ordinary birds, they look like ..... Crow?
