At Bussey's house in Jinzhu Tanzan, I had doubts about the living map of the Nianqing Tanggula Sacred Mountain, Jinzhu Tanzan, but I don't want to say this doubt for the time being. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The night on Mount Kinabalu came late, but the morning came earlier. Seeing last night's barbecue grill, as well as the open-air tent, and looking at the snow line in the distance, I knew that we were going to the legendary Mani Cave today.

From Busi Village to Mani Cave, we can no longer ride the yak, and we can only rely on the No. 11 tool to move forward step by step.

The three of us looked at the mountain in the morning, and then went to the watchtower to pack up and walk. I saw that there would be no one, so I couldn't help but whisper, "Uncle, I think this Jinzhu Tanzan has bad intentions, we still have to be careful." ”

The uncle listened, nodded, and said to us, "Goldfish, Xiao Yuanzi, this time, we try not to say what we shouldn't say, don't move what we shouldn't move, see new things, don't be greedy, everything must have a normal heart." ”

After the uncle finished speaking, Brother Yu'er and I looked at each other, but we already knew it in our hearts.

As the last supply point in the mountains this time, we collected a lot of food, as well as some alcohol. I really can't imagine that in such a place with inconvenient transportation, there is such an artifact of wild survival as an alcohol stove.

After saying okay and giving Jin Zhu Tanzan a guide fee of 1,000 yuan a day, we started to set off.

Standing on the heavenly burial platform of the Buxi village on this sacred mountain, looking at the eagle flying in the sun under the blue sky in the distance, and near the mountain rocks, there are some dried corpses, I know that this is a custom of the local people "sky burial".

In snowy areas, there are generally cremation, sky burial, water burial and earth burial. Now that we have seen this dried corpse, let's talk about the celestial burial.

This day burial is a more common burial custom on the snowy plateau, also known as "bird burial". It is used for farmers and herdsmen in general and ordinary people.

Believers in the four major sects of the Snowy Land believe that the heavenly burial is a desire to ascend to "heaven". Every region has a celestial burial site, that is, a celestial burial ground, and there is a special person (celestial burial master) engaged in this industry. After death, the body is curled up, the head is bent on the knees, the posture is sitting, wrapped in a white Tibetan quilt, placed on the earthen platform on the right side of the door, and the lama is asked to recite the Sutra of Transcendence. On the auspicious day, the corpse is carried to the heavenly burial platform by the person who carries the corpse, and the vulture is caused by the "mulberry" smoke first, and the lama finishes chanting, and the corpse is disposed of by the celestial burial master. Then, the vultures flew in response to the sound and vied with each other to peck at the food, which was the most auspicious, indicating that the deceased was not guilty and that the soul had ascended to heaven in peace. If it is not eaten, the remaining part should be picked up and incinerated, and the sutra should be recited excessively. The people of the snowy region believe that the vultures on the mountains around the heavenly burial platform do not harm any small animals except for eating human corpses, and are "sacred birds".

Sky burial ceremonies are generally held in the early morning. Before dawn, the family of the deceased will send the body to the celestial burial platform, where the sun will slowly rise and the celestial burial ceremony begins. It's best not to watch it without permission.

This kind of scene of seeing the heavenly burial, I found that only on the watchtower of Jinzhu Tanzan can be seen, besides, this Buxi village, only the watchtower of Jinzhu Tanzan's house is the highest.

I feel a little tired in my heart, how can a normal person always stand on the watchtower and look at the heavenly burial platform, referred to as the rooftop.

According to the locals, this day burial platform is a taboo existence, when vultures go in groups to peck at the flesh of human corpses, that kind of scene, the existence of bloody pieces of flesh, normal people can't bear to see it.

Also, this heavenly burial platform can be a place where people's souls can ascend to heaven, and you say that you are fine, go and watch people's souls, is it normal?

I took this idea to heart, and had secretly communicated with Lulu in the jade pendant, asking her to remind me when necessary.

As we set off with our backpacks on our backs towards the main mountain range of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, I already felt a spiritual calling.

Watching Jin Zhu Tanzan, who was in his forties, walk in front and tell us some things about the sacred mountain, I had the illusion that the snowy man in front of me should be a trustworthy person.

But I've seen his face, because his red round face looks triangular on top of it, and there is a vague fierceness in his eyes, that is, when he laughs heartily, I feel that he seems to be hiding something, this kind of physiognomy is self-evident.

As the slope got steeper and the snow particles on it also had a freezing feeling, we were wearing hiking boots, but already a little slippery.

No, Jin Zhu Tanzan suggested, tie us around our waists with a rope in case of accidents.

We all agreed with this suggestion, and at the same time, Jinzhu Tanzan also introduced us to the dangers of these snow-capped mountains, what kind of sun exposure will cause glaciers to flood, and the fact that you can't make a fire under the ice rock to melt the ice water.

Later, the golden bead said again, "I'll talk about the snow bridge again, the danger of the snow bridge is in the snow, the snow bridge presents a regular, saucer-shaped depression, stretching and spreading in a straight line into the distance. The old sunken snow bridge is more solid than the new flat snow bridge. When crossing this snow bridge, you should use an ice axe to strike it safely.

Three friends, this is Mount Kinabalu, and the avalanche on Mount Kinabalu is a great disaster. To be on the safe side, we walk behind and stop if there is a snowstorm. In addition, we should not cross the slope together, and we should maintain a safe and observable distance between the front and back people.

Avalanches are the punishment of the mountain gods, when the world affects the long sleep of the Semitic people, and the rocks or snow blocks roll down. Avalanches usually occur on slopes with small snowballs rolling down, slopes with cracks in snow, slopes with snow eaves, steep slopes without trees, slopes with long distances, convex slopes, slopes facing south and southwest, and places where old snow is covered with new snow and snow is soft due to rising temperatures. Generally speaking, the day after the fresh snow, the weather is clear, and at 90 o'clock in the morning, avalanches are prone to occur.

Caution should be taken when passing through avalanche hazards: loosen the harness in advance in case you need to release the large rucksack and other equipment to ensure freedom of movement. Remove snow caps that obstruct your vision and hearing to detect the signs of avalanches as early as possible. Avoid crossing dangerous slopes laterally. Avoid sounds and vibrations such as shooting. Avoid falling and other movements that impact the snow surface. If you are caught in an avalanche, you should swim vigorously and repeatedly in the moving snow stream to try to float to the surface of the snow stream. Because it is difficult to move your hands and feet after the avalanche stops, you should try to surface as much as possible during the movement of the snow flow. Finally, I would like to say that you should be especially cautious when climbing glaciers and snow slopes, there are many fissures on glaciers, and the most threatening ones are the crevices in the icefall area and the edge of the foothills, especially the hidden fissures that are hidden by snow. When passing through the rift, they are connected to each other by ropes, and the distance between the two adjacent people is one or twenty meters. Those who open the way in front should always detect the virtual and the real. The person behind must step on the footprints of the person in front of him, so it is safer. When crossing an ice or snow bridge over a chasm, crawl forward.

When walking on snow, pick up hard snow and walk on it. If you get hot, don't quench your thirst with ice and snow, as swallowing ice and snow suddenly will make it easy to get laryngitis. If you are really thirsty, you can rinse your mouth with melted ice and snow, and try not to swallow it in your stomach, as water will increase the burden on the body's circulatory organs and affect your physical strength. To make it easier to walk in the snow, you can make "snowshoes" from tree branches (preferably freshly cut branches) by roasting them into a U-shape over a fire, tying them tightly with a rope and putting them on your feet.

When wearing, care should be taken to tie the toes and heels to the front and back straps, respectively. If the bundle is not tight, it will hinder walking. The rope buckle should be tied to the upper or outer part of the shoe, if it is tied on the inside, it is difficult to walk if the left and right feet touch each other, and the rope buckle is easy to loosen. When walking on soft snow for a long time, take a long stride and shorten the time you spend walking on the snow. When walking, you should first step back a little bit, and then lift your feet upwards and stride forward. Foot back is to give the snowshoe room to move in front of it, and it can also play a role in brushing away residual snow when stepping forward. When walking steep slopes, use the inner edge of the snowshoe to tread the slope and try to avoid leaning towards the outer edge. When the snow freezes very hard, take off your snowshoes and walk. ”

After listening to what Jin Zhu Tanzan said so much, I realized that this time I went to find the Crystal Palace, and the danger factor seemed to have deepened a lot, this potential natural and man-made disaster, damn, do you want anyone to live?
