Chapter 277: South of the Clouds
Beard and Skinny Monkey sat on the sofa outside, and there was no familiar meaning with us, they didn't talk themselves, nor did they play with their mobile phones, one was concentrating on smoking, one was concentrating on being in a daze, and the cooperation was quite tacit, and the cigarette of the beard never left his mouth, I found that he basically didn't smoke much, but he liked to light the cigarette and then hold it in his mouth.
When one cigarette is finished, I light a second cigarette, and I don't know how many cigarettes I have in my pocket.
I feel sorry for his cigarette money, but fortunately, this guy doesn't know where to get cigarettes, a cigarette can burn for more than an hour, which is also amazing, and when I get familiar with it later, I want to ask him for a few boxes.
About four o'clock in the afternoon, I finally saw the figure of Baimei, and they set off immediately, and they set off directly from the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and there were just ten people and four cars together, but they were not crowded at all.
This number is actually not a lot, the tomb in Yunnan is the tomb of the Miao people in the Tang Dynasty who thought it was the tribal chief, but it is a bit similar to the tomb of the witch Zongzi.
As for those people from the Cao family, they have also come out, but there are a lot of dead and injured, Cao Jiao is fine, so I don't think it's a pity, anyway, I should meet them again in the future, after all, they are all fellow travelers.
This time the destination is Yunnan, but it is a little too far away from Xi'an, so we plan to stay in Chengdu for one night, if we calculate the distance, we will be surprised to find that the distance from Xi'an to Chengdu, and the distance from Chengdu to Kunming, is almost the same, with a ruler on the map to measure, is an isosceles triangle.
The purpose is not to travel, the car drove to Chengdu that night, and found a hotel within the first ring to make do with a night, the last time from the ancient tomb in Tibet, I walked around in Chengdu, so this time there is no novelty, the streets and alleys are all the folk songs of Chengdu, and the ears are calloused.
The next day I got up early in the morning, and continued to hurry, but in the middle of the global center passed by, and saw the boxy behemoth like the Ark of Doya, my heart was a little shocked, don't look at this big guy is built on the edge of the third ring, but it is the largest single building in the world today, covering an area of 1,300 acres, with a total construction area of 1.76 million square meters.
Looking at this huge thing, it reminds me of the ghost ship island hidden in the dark clouds, and the ghost ship island is also much larger than this global center, there is no problem to stuff a few into it, people who have seen the Chengdu global center can appreciate how huge the ghost ship island is.
Speaking of Yunnan, in fact, people are always used to say that the origin of this name is because it is in the south of Yunnan, of course, this is only taken literally, although it is correct, but it is not exact.
The name Yunnan appeared a long time ago, in the Han Dynasty, it was called the south of Yunling, and the reason why it was called Yunnan was because of a mountain range called Diancang Mountain, which belonged to the branch of Yunling Mountain, which was one aspect of the mountain.
In addition to the mountains, the rest of the side is the clouds, it is often said that Yunnan is the hometown of the clouds, known as the reputation of the south of the clouds, and many old people, but still become Yunnan as 'Tiannan'.
There is an interesting legend about Yunnan, which also has something to do with our inverted fight.
The world is afraid of death, but in Yunnan there are women who are not afraid of death, that is, the women of the Naxi nationality, until now, the marriage there still maintains the tradition of matchmaking, the life of the parents, when their marriage can not be as desired, they will invite their lovers, find a beautiful place to commit suicide, this is a very ancient martyrdom custom.
In the eyes of Naxi women, it is better to die with their beloved than to get married......
And the first woman of the Naxi tribe to die for love is called 'Jiushou'.
Martyrdom is not a simple suicide, in the eyes of Naxi women, it is solemn and sacred, it is a very free and easy way, there is a special mood when martyrdom, called 'You Sadness.' ’
And the owner of our tomb this time is a woman who chose to die for love, but her lover was a very powerful priest at that time, so he built an ancient tomb for her, and buried many things that were lost in later generations.
These are all written in the information, but the location of this ancient tomb only knows a rough idea, and the specific location is not clear, so our battle is a hard stubble, and we have to take it slowly.
Our estimated time is one month, and it is estimated that the time to find the grave will take half of it.
We had lunch in Kunming, and in the afternoon, we entered the mountains and settled in a cottage, which is a very small cottage, less than 50 households, and the population is all combined, which is 100 people.
The whole village is full of the kind of rubble houses that are very typical of the south, and the top is the kind of black rubble, with eaves and flying feet, etc., which looks like the houses in ink paintings.
This kind of rubble is also very waterproof, after all, it is a rainy place, and in the rainy season, once it rains, it seems that it will not stop, and it is common for the next month.
Therefore, this kind of black rubble layer upon layer can let the rain flow naturally along the texture, and the moving arc is very beautiful, as if nature built it by hand, and in the fresh air, it seems that you can smell the rain contained in the rubble.
With this black rubble, white walls are naturally indispensable, the walls in the south are not like those in the north, the newly built houses, but after a few months, they will spread a layer of dust, and the walls of the houses here are really snow-white, which seems to automatically isolate the dust.
This black and white world, combined with the surrounding mountains and rivers, is truly like a fairyland compared to the smog-ridden city today, I hope this beauty can be preserved for a long time and will not be destroyed by the world.
Huo Nan and I are both in Yunnan for the first time, see these black and white houses, a little excited, stay in the desert for three months, that kind of place to drink two buckets of water a day, breath is dry, and Xi'an also belongs to the north, plus the pollution is also quite serious, from Xinjiang back, but I don't think there is much difference.
But after arriving at this small cottage today, I finally breathed the breath of nature, and I was in a good mood all of a sudden, and I didn't feel bored for a few months here.
Our current location is between Lijiang and Dali, smelling the fragrance of these earth, coupled with the picturesque scenery of the landscape, I feel that my soul has been sublimated, no wonder people here are long-lived, more than 100 years old, very common.
Although this small cottage is quite remote, there are always some tourists with good foot strength, who will like to drill into this kind of place to play, in groups of three or five, occasionally you can see one or two, and there are those who greet us with a smile, very kind.
So our ten basically heavily armed 'tourists' will not seem so abrupt, park the car at the foot of the cottage, we can only climb up on foot, this is a protracted battle, so we must find a quiet place in the village as a base.
