Chapter 64: The Summer Palace
In this world, many things are unexplainable, such as Guan Wen's left shoulder. He had looked in the mirror countless times for as long as he could remember. Obviously, it is a scar left by a woman's teeth, and anyone who looks at it will give such an answer.
"Even if you ask Baoling, she won't be able to give you an answer, right?" Gu Qingcheng spread out his hands and shrugged.
Guan Wen sighed: "That's right."
"Then don't ask, let's go to Nepal. Just now I heard Gao Xiang complaining about the shirt, he will definitely not go to Nepal, just stay here and wait for us. In that case, you, me, Baoling, Tsi, and Kahler will cross the border, arrive at the summer palace of the House of Kanna in one day, stay for a week at most, and then return the way they came. Gu Qingcheng said succinctly.
Guan Wen got dressed and nodded in agreement.
Gu Qingcheng pondered for a moment and added again: "The situation in Nepal is very complicated, according to Kale, the party members of the Blue Dragon Society are active in the outskirts of Kathmandu, and their behavior is quite arrogant. Let me remind you first, my conflict with the Blue Dragon Society is another matter, and it has nothing to do with you and Baoling. If the situation deteriorates, Calle will take you and Baoling first, and I will break off after the shirt. ”
Guan Wen said without hesitation: "Go together, go back together, don't be so clear." After crossing the border, give me a gun, I am a man, and I can't always rely on others to protect myself. ”
Before going down the guillotine cliff, Gu Qingcheng lent him his gun for temporary use. Once you get out of the country, there are no gun control concerns.
Gu Tingcheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, but you are not left-handed, you rely on your right hand to do things, and you can quickly apply medicine to the wound later, and strive to recover a day sooner."
Her smile was rich, and Guan Wen couldn't help but feel a little empty.
That night, the six people reached an agreement, Gao Xiang stayed behind, and the remaining five people set off in the early morning and must arrive at the Zhangmu port before dawn.
The visas, passports, ID cards and other information of the five people are complete, and it is not a problem to pass the customs. Normally, the car from Xizàng can only go to the Chinese side of Zhangmu Port, and after passing the customs, you also need to rent a car from Nepal to get to Kathmandu.
"My station wagon was parked in the village on the other side of the checkpoint, with the driver, supplies, medicine. If you follow the lì, you will be able to reach the summer palace in the afternoon. ”
He is very efficient, and every step is planned in advance, which has won the unanimous favor of everyone.
Seven hours later, the five of them rushed to the Zhangmu port.
Zhangmu Port is located on the southern slope of the middle section of the Himalaya, with an altitude of 2,400 meters, bordering Nepal in the east, south and west, and is the throat of the China-Nepal Highway, 736 kilometers away from Lhasa and 120 kilometers away from Kathmandu, which is the main channel for political, economic and cultural exchanges between China and Nepal.
Nepal is known as the "Alpine Kingdom", it is backed by the Himalayas and is dotted with many "extremely high mountains" above 6,000 meters above sea level. When the sun rises and falls, the endless snow-capped mountains bloom with dazzling divine light, and are revered by Nepalese and mountaineering enthusiasts around the world as the "white seat of the gods".
The journey was very smooth, after passing the port, Kahler made a phone call, someone drove a Mercedes station wagon to greet him, and the five of them got on the bus and headed straight for Kathmandu.
Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is a historic city, located in the Kathmandu Valley of the Bagmati Prefecture in central Nepal, and is the political, economic and cultural center of the country. Successive dynasties have built countless temples, pagodas, shrines and halls here, and gradually formed the peculiar landscape of "many temples are like residences, and Buddha statues are more than residents", and the most famous buildings such as the Great Brahma Temple and the Great Stupa are majestic and splendid, attracting thousands of foreign tourists every year. For this reason, Kathmandu is also known as the "Temple Capital".
The approximate location of the Charriya Palace is at the easternmost point of the Kathmandu Valley, surrounded by lush hills to the south, east, and north. There is only a two-storey white stone main building in the manor, and compared to the lush mountains around it, the manor is unusually depressed, the grass is bare, the street trees are nearly dead, and the villa is dead and unpopular.
This is the territory of the Kanna family, and as a landowner, Kahler introduces to everyone from time to time: "Family legend has it that this manor is inhabited by ghosts, who hate to be approached by the living, and every time a brave person moves in, he will be scared away by strange noises and ghosts in the middle of the night. Over time, the estate became vacant. However, I send someone over every month to clean up. ”
The story of "the ghost hidden in the castle" has existed all over the world, and it has become a commonplace topic. So, Caller said, with a wry smile on his face.
The car stopped in front of the main building, two white oak doors had long been opened, and a dozen servants in white uniforms lined up on either side to greet Kahle.
Since passing the Zhangmu port, Baoling has been unusually silent, and has been closing her eyes to recuperate, and at this moment she suddenly opened her eyes and stared at an ancient woodcut inlaid on the top of the main entrance.
Kahler didn't rush to open the door, and everyone looked at Baoling.
"This is it." Baoling smiled wryly and muttered to herself, "Let's go to the meditation room, that's where I should go." ”
"That'...... Shall I open the door?" Calle's face changed dramatically, and he cautiously consulted everyone's opinions.
Guan Wen made a gesture, and Kahler opened the automatic lock of the station wagon's four doors.
"Let them go." Baoling pointed to the servants.
Guan Wen opened the car door and got out of the car with Baoling in his arms. He noticed that Bao Ling's body was still weak and had not improved much compared to his time at Tashilhunpo Monastery.
"I'll go to the meditation room by myself, don't come with me." Baoling said loudly. Then, a man climbed the stone steps and entered the quiet building.
Guan Wenmu Baoling's back disappeared into the dim building, although the sky was clear outside, but the small building was deep and quiet, and the lights were not turned on, and the light was naturally extremely dim.
"The Meditation Room is located on the easternmost side of the second floor and is the first room in the building to receive sunlight. That is the place where Princess Asaha meditates in the past......" Kahler immediately introduced to everyone.
"Do you want to follow her and protect her?" Gu Tingcheng asked.
Guan Wen shook his head: "Baoling must have another meaning when she does that, don't stop her, just let her take action."
He stared up at the woodcut, and Gu Qingcheng also looked up with his gaze.
The woodcut is about two feet square, and it is carved from rosewood with excellent texture, and the picture is a riri, a month, and a nine-pointed star. Strangely, the ratio of the three to ri, moon, and star has now become star, ri, and moon.
"It's strange, how can it be that the star is the biggest?" Gu Qingcheng asked himself suspiciously. The sun is greater than the moon and the moon is greater than the stars, which is common knowledge shared by people on earth.
Guan Wen vaguely felt that Baoling was very familiar with this small building, otherwise he would not have gone straight to the meditation room as soon as he got out of the car.
Tin also got out of the car, but remained silent, just crossed his arms and observed the main building. His greatest advantage is that he knows when he knows when he knows when to go in and out, and knows when to open his mouth and when to shut up.
"If it comes, it will be safe, don't worry." Guan Wen whispered.
"Of course I'm not in a hurry, I'm afraid that something happens to Baoling, and you will be more anxious than anyone else." Gu Qingcheng smiled narrowly, stretched out his hand, and nodded on Guan Wen's right shoulder.
Guan Wen looked embarrassed, and there was a slight pain from time to time in the place where he had been bitten by Baoling, although he had already taken the medicine, he was afraid that he would have to hurt for a few days.
"Mr. Guan, can you have a few words alone?" Calle walked over and lifted yì.
The two of them walked to the right, leaving the others behind, until they reached the easternmost end of the small building.
Calle pointed upwards and introduced, "That room with the colorful glass window is the meditation room."
The easternmost room on the second floor has a huge east window, more than six times the size of an ordinary window, with a wonderful arch at the top, and the whole window is divided into numerous irregular small panes, each of which is inlaid with stained glass of a different color. It is conceivable that when the morning sun rises, the light shines through the glass, and the room must be colorful and red. It's just that it's past noon now, and Baoling, who is in it, can't experience that feeling.
In the world of practitioners, the unique state of retreat will have a great effect on the progress of the practice, as is the case with the Tibetan Buddhist "retreat". Guan Wenbai chose this place for deep meditation, similar to "retreat" or "Bigu".
"I hope that when Baoling goes there, he will be touched by his heart, so that everyone will not run empty." Guan Wen tilted his head, spread his arms, inhaled deeply, and prayed silently.
It was quiet behind the window, but he was sure that Baoling was there.
"Mr. Guan, I have read some of your materials, and your painting skills are quite good, and it is said that you can paint people's inner world. I've seen many well-known painters all over the world, and none of them can reach your level. Kahler's words were respectful, but his expression became a little cold.
Guan Wen was keenly aware of Caller's change, turned around, and looked at the other party calmly.
Caleb bit the corner of his lip and continued: "Mr. Guan, I am a member of the Kanna family, and no matter what I do, I must put the family's interests first. This time, I invited Miss Baoling back in order to solve the strange phenomenon in the palace of Natsuri. You may not know that everyone in our family has a very thorough and complicated way of communicating with each other, and I was the first to hear from Master Vulture when he died......"
Guan Wen interrupted him politely: "Kahler, if you have something to say, please speak directly, you don't have to go around in circles."
Kahler coughed lightly, and his gaze became sharp and cold: "Mr. Guan, then I'll tell you straight." Before the Vulture Master died, he sent a message that a spy from the 51st region of the United States had infiltrated Tashilhunpo Monastery, and he suspected that it was you. ”
Guan Wen was not angry at this kind of unwarranted accusation, but kept smiling: "Kahler, I came with Baoling, and personally, I have no intention of the Charria Palace of the Kanna family, nor will I leave any story here. So, whether or not I have anything to do with U.S. Area 51, it won't give you any trouble. After a week, everyone broke up, and there would be no more crossings. ”
Misunderstandings between people are inevitable, especially in the face of certain important interests, which are full of variables of deceit. Guan Wen did not blame Caller for having this suspicion, because he was a friend of the shirt and a descendant of the Kanna family, and the shirt was a friend of Gu Qingcheng. In any case, he will give Kahler face.
