Chapter 118: Bayeux Land
"From Lake Laang Tso to Mount Everest...... If this is the case, then Mount Everest is the location of the legendary 'Land of Extremes', and not the city of Shambhala as the world generally believes? However, Mount Everest is covered by heavy snow all year round, where are the countries, cities, people, and resources? Since it is called the 'Land of Extreme Things', where does that wonderful world exist?" Lin Xuan closed his eyes again and pondered, unable to understand.
According to Tibetan legend, Shambhala is the land of bliss that Tibetans have longed for for generations, and is synonymous with happiness, contentment, and happiness, which is equivalent to the Western Elysium in Chinese Buddhism. It's just that no one has ever really reached there, and that wonderful place will always be recited and longed for without being found, just like the classic poem of the Tang Dynasty - "Only in this mountain, the clouds do not know where to go".
"If you look at this map, you can find the beautiful 'Land of Extreme Things'." Samantha laughed self-deprecatingly.
She had given up the idea of shooting Lin Xuan, or rather, she didn't want to actually shoot him at all, she just pulled out her gun angrily for Don Na's death.
No one is responsible for Donna's fall, including Lin Xuan.
If Tian Meng had shot through the window just now, Samantha would have died, and the shape would have continued to deteriorate, evolving into a life-and-death entanglement between SK and Lin Xuan.
"These are ancient Tibetans, but they are not the commonly believed Tibetan founders, Tunmi? Sambuza's zĂ o was created by the founder of Bon, Sinrao Miwochi, and was inspired by the Gashmiro (present-day Kashmiri script) and the Marvin of the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom, and used the form of painting to communicate on paper, which is the same as the hieroglyphs in Chinese mainland. Lin Xuan analyzed slowly, his fingertips sliding across the computer screen.
Swallow Mi? Sambuza's Tibetan script is derived from Indian Sanskrit in the seventh century AD, after Songtsen Gampo unified the Tibetan Plateau. According to the characteristics of the Sanskrit alphabet and Tibetan phonetics, he sorted out 30 consonant letters and 4 vowel letters of Tibetan to meet the needs of Tibetan people for written communication.
Lin Xuan had an in-depth understanding of Tibetan culture, so he quickly gained insight into the secrets of the Bayeux map.
In fact, as long as he is given enough time, he can connect all the doubts, disassemble them in order, and restore the truth of the strange events that happened around the ghost lake. It's a pity that the changes came too quickly, and he could only react passively, parrying hard, and repeatedly missing opportunities.
"Our people stole these bay leaves from your hands, and sent them back to the Moscow headquarters as soon as possible, and after a dozen scientists cracked them, they came to the same conclusion as you - what a shame, gathering the brainpower of a dozen people, I can only have a tie with you." Samantha's attitude towards Lin Xuan changed, and her resistance turned into admiration, and she quietly put away her short gun.
Lin Xuan shook his head, signaling that he didn't dare to be.
The Chinese proverb says that if you want to know what a pear tastes like, you just have to taste it with your own mouth.
In the same way, if you want to understand Tibetan culture, you must go to Tibet, turn yourself into a Tibetan, and assimilate the habits of clothing, food, shelter and transportation. After a long time, I naturally learned to solve problems in the Tibetan way of thinking. At this time, there is no need to deliberately learn Tibetan culture, but to integrate into it, like a fish in water, as one body, regardless of each other.
It was precisely by taking this kind of shortcut in cultivation that Lin Xuan had today's super analytical ability.
On this Bayeux map, Lin Xuan found a total of forty-eight ancient Tibetan characters, all arranged on both sides of a bold main line. The main line is not drawn as a solid arrow line as in modern illustrations, but from wide to narrow, forming an extra-long arrow that points from the ghost lake to Mount Everest.
The forty-eight characters, which depend on each other in pairs, can be understood as one word, which are translated as Xiongpa, Pulan, Sangmu, Bensong, Chazhu, Guisang, Biji, Zhongpa, Zadong, Zama, Saga, Changguo, Jilong, Gongdang, Tangguo, Menka, Zham, Dazi, Dexing, Dingri, Nailong, Gangga, Cuoguo, and Qudang. These characters are all distributed on both sides of the long arrow, corresponding to the towns, cities and counties on the modern map of Tibet.
Since the Bayeux map is hidden in the ancient scrolls of "The Land of Extreme Things", it can be inferred that the arrow points to the legendary Land of Extreme Things. Unfortunately, all contour lines are not marked with numbers, so it is impossible to judge the height of the terrain.
He remembered the seductive and strange eyes behind the ancient scroll of "The Land of Extreme Things", and a cool breeze blew on his back, and he couldn't help but shiver.
It turned out that those eyes were a hidden word, prompting those who were interested to read this ancient scroll carefully.
Ancient Chinese literati had an aphorism: "If you read more than 10,000 volumes, you will write like a god", and the secret of Bayeux stored in the cracks between the pages of the book can only be seen after reading the broken pages of "The Land of Extreme Things" tens of thousands of times. If it weren't for the coincidence that the ancient scroll was shelved, this secret would have been lost in the Scripture Pavilion of the Jiwu Temple.
"There is no city-state on the mountain, and the country of extreme things can only be underground. In other words, the real utopian city refuses to show its true face, but hides in the mountains, closed off from the country, and does not want to be disturbed by outsiders. What we can do now is to climb to the top and explore, waiting for the right time. Lin Xuan said, "If you learn without thinking, you will be confused, and if you think without learning, you will die." We must act together, move forward together. â
That being said, it's definitely hard to bring everyone together.
"You're welcome to join us." Lin Xuan shook Samantha's hand.
The two of them held hands to open the door, and they had to convince everyone before dawn to reach the summit together.
Outside the door, Tian Meng, Kong Sha, Luo Yuan, and Baldur were all there, all of them, staring at Lin Xuan in unison.
Lin Xuan smiled calmly: "To introduce to you, this is Donna's sister Samantha, a person who can provide us with a lot of practical help."
Kusha sneered, expressing great disdain.
Tian Meng sighed: "We need help, but we don't need help from the Russian SK." With her joining, in the end we won't get anything, we won't even be able to save our lives. â
Everyone's hostility towards Samantha is very obvious, and they are quite jealous of her SK's background.
The eastern sky is already white, and the sun will rise in a dozen minutes, only three hours before the agreed departure time with the helicopter pilot.
"Say something, Samantha." Lin Xuan said.
He believed that Samantha's eloquence would convince everyone to allow her to join.
Samantha looked around at the people under the steps, and first aimed at Tian Meng: "Miss Tian, I guess you must have a map called 'Mirage Mountain' in your hand, the original version is in Russian, and the drawing date is February 18, 1971, right?" This map was specially made for a movable mountain, and was obtained by comparing, summarizing, and counting 6,000 maps of Mount Everest taken by communication satellites. Because the map was drawn with such odd intentions, it was named 'mirage' by SK. â
