Mindu shook his head: "It's very close, as long as you find here, you can return to your hometown." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In this case, in ten years, you can go to our world to find us, and if you forget your way home, Dorjee will take you back." ”

Dorjee immediately let out a "purr" of approval.

But the sensitivity still seemed a little embarrassed: "However, I don't know how to get out of here, going out from the Xiaotian Mountain, it's the boundless fog." ”

Liang Houzai immediately responded to him: "Ten years later, we will pick you up." ”

Min's expression became excited: "Really, you guys really came back to pick me up and take me to sit here?" ”

He said as he pointed to the cover of the magazine.

Liang Houzai said to him again: "But it's good that you know about this matter yourself, and you must not tell others, even if it is an old toast." You should know, the people in Soul Village are all good at spells, even if we are not here, if you tell us about it one day, we will also know, if that happens, we will not come to pick you up. ”

Mindu immediately covered his mouth with his hands and made a silent appearance, but the excitement on his face still couldn't be hidden.

Liang Houzai smiled and asked him again: "By the way, who gave you the magazine in your hand?" ”

"It's a traveler who came here by mistake, and every few years, someone comes here by mistake, and I heard the old people who come here in a daze, mostly some devout Buddhists, some of whom are herdsmen looking for livestock," Mindu said. But very few Han people came here, and when that Han man came, I was an apprentice of the previous generation of Mindu, and he said that he was a traveler, and he had been to many places, and I had heard so many things about your world. ”

I asked him, "What happened to these people?" Are they all gone? ”

Mindu nodded: "Well, before they leave, Mindu will prepare a special bowl of soup for them, and when they leave here, they will forget about this place and what happened here." The old toast said that this is also to prevent them from encroaching on our land. ”

Although the "old toast" in Mindu's mouth and I have never been masked, I don't know why, but at this time, I actually have a little disgust with this old toast in my heart.

At this time, Mindu climbed into his chair and said to us as he opened the heavy book on the table, "There is a lot of writing in this book, and the content is a bit difficult to understand, I will probably take two hours to read it, you can walk around the neighborhood first, and if you are hungry, you can go to Vaa." You should have met Va'a, he's the gatekeeper here. ”

Liang Houzai said teasingly: "It takes two hours, it's too long, can't you read a thousand books a day?" I'll do the math, if, if you don't eat, drink or sleep all day, you can count 40 books an hour, an average of 1.5 minutes a book, tsk, the speed is really fast! ”

This time Mindu didn't respond, his face turned red, but his eyes kept staring at the words on the book, and after two or three minutes, the blush on Mindu's face had receded, and his expression and eyes became extremely focused, and he devoted himself to reading the book.

In order not to disturb him, we left the house lightly and returned to the mountain path surrounded by grass.

I think the man we saw on our way up the mountain was Vaa, who was sitting on a bench at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the sky. And our horses graze around the hollow trees at the foot of the mountain.

As I walked towards one of the cobblestone houses, Vaa turned to look at me, and I pointed to the door to ask if he could get in, but he hesitated, but nodded at me.

Pushing open the door, we saw a large number of books, but the books in this room were neatly arranged on the shelves, and the floor was clean.

There was a small door on the left side of the room, and I opened it to see that there was a wide hole in the ground, and there was a staircase leading to the underground, and when I looked down the staircase, the lower floor was still full of bookshelves.

At this time, Liang Houzai came to me with a book in his hand and said to me with a smile: "No wonder Waa will let us in." The books here are all written in an ancient script that we can't read, and even if we come in, we can't understand the contents of the books. ”

I pursed my lips and said, "I've always felt that something was wrong with that Vaa, and he seemed to be difficult to get along with. ”

Liu Shangang picked up on the side: "This is normal, he has a very dangerous aura on his body, which is the kind that only killers have...... How to put it, a cold feeling. ”

I nodded, and then turned to Liang Houzai and said, "When Mindu talked about his hometown just now, I saw you give me a look, and I didn't understand the meaning of that look. ”

Liang Houzai put the book back on the shelf, touched his chin and said, "I thought at the time that Mindu's so-called hometown was probably not as beautiful as he imagined. ”

I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows: "What do you mean?" ”

Liang Houzai thought for a moment, and after a moment of immersion, he said: "Brother Dao, don't you think it's strange, since travelers can enter this place by mistake, how can those sensitivities who leave here not find their way back?" The travelers had no idea that such a place existed, and the sensitivity to leave here could at least remember the general location of the mountain. And Xiao Mindu also said that this place is very close to their hometown, as long as they can find it, they can go back. ”

I said, "It's a little weird. ”

Liang Houzai continued: "If it is said that the sensitivity who left here is reluctant to return to his hometown because he fell in love with the outside world of flowers, this is understandable, but in the past three thousand years, three hundred sensitivity have guarded here, and how many of them have left their hometown and gone to 'our world', this data may not be able to be counted. But since these sensitivities can occasionally meet travelers who have strayed into this place, and hearing some information about the outside world, it is equivalent to having contact with the outside world, I think that any person, as long as he has been in contact with the outside world, does not want to stay in such a closed environment. ”

Liu Shangang interjected: "But what if Mindu's hometown is better than the outside world? ”

I shook my head: "Okay, also from a different point of view." It's like the Soul Village, the scenery in the mountains is good, the air is good, and the water is sweeter than the outside, and it is also the place where our Soul Village people return to their roots, but even so, no one in the Soul Village is willing to stay there forever. ”

In my early years, I heard Master say, "People in the mountains always have a dream of going out of the mountains." Even though the mountains are the most beautiful places in the world. It's human nature.

I know that there are people who are tired of city life, and they leave the city and return to the mountains. But this is not against human nature, for them, the city is a big mountain, and their so-called return to nature is to leave the "mountain" in their hearts, leaving a kind of imprisonment from life.

Many people who leave the mountains will eventually return to the mountains, and those who return to nature will eventually return to the city, but after all, they will leave the mountain where they first lived at a certain time and by chance.

With this in mind, I said to Liang Houzai, "I think that the vast majority of sensitivities should have been to our world, as long as they have received information from the outside world from travelers. ”

Liang Houzai nodded: "I think so too." If most of the sensitivity has gone to our world, why hasn't one of these people returned, you know, even if they leave here temporarily, they can't never come back. And I think they should be able to find their way home if they have the heart. And don't you think it's strange, why do the people who guard this place have the temperament of a killer? ”

I finally understood what Liang Houzai meant: "You mean, Min Du can't leave this place at all. ”

Liang Houzai: "Yes, I think that the location of the Little Tianshan Mountain has a killer like Va'a to prevent Minzhi from leaving here. When Sensitivity is gone, once they make the move to our world, the killer will easily end their lives. They either couldn't find their way home, they were simply killed. Brother Dao, do you remember that last year, Grandpa Chai mentioned the Nine Great Tombs? ”

Me: "Of course I do. ”

Liang Houzai: "I remember Grandpa Chai said at the time that two of the nine tombs have already been in. The Yin Jade you found in Baiwu Mountain has now been determined to have been stolen from the Bohai Tomb. In addition, there are six large tombs whose whereabouts are unknown, and of these six tombs, five of them are currently only known to have a rough location, and only one, although the location is very clear, but it is impossible to find it without a great chance. Perhaps, Mindu's hometown is the legendary ancient country of Shambhala. ”

I remember that my master's exact words at that time were probably that five of the six remaining tombs could only be identified as the province in which they were located, and only the sixth tomb could be determined to be in the ancient kingdom of Shambhala.

Shambhala, the legendary Shangri-La, translates it into Chinese as "Paradise", and it was originally a mythical world in Buddhism, the birthplace of Kalachakra Buddhism, and the Pure Land of Bliss pursued by Tibetan Buddhists.

A few years ago, in order to find clues to the Nine Great Tombs, I looked through a large number of ancient books in the cabinet of Jisoul Village, and one of them mentioned the ancient kingdom of Shambhala, but the Shambhala in the ancient books is very different from the legendary Shambhala.

Ancient books say that more than 1,000 years ago, our ancestors went deep into the snow-capped mountains of the plateau and inadvertently broke into a tribe established in the hinterland of the snow-capped mountains, this tribe has a completely different culture and writing from the outside world, they think that the whole world is covered with ice and snow, and only there is green life, and they call the place where they live "Xiangurila".

I didn't really pay much attention to this ancient book when I saw it, but then Master also saw that ancient book, and he said to me, "The Xianguri-La in the book should be Shangri-La."

Master also said that if Shangri-La is the blissful world that followers of Tibetan Buddhism have pursued all their lives, then the Shangri-La recorded in the book and the Shangri-La they yearn for are definitely not the same place.
