001: Team of 100 Hump Route
I spent about two days in Tibet, and the scenery here is charming, the air is clear, the blue sky and white clouds, the green water and green grass, and the cattle and sheep all over the grassland, just like the ones that come out of the painting, it is really beautiful.
However, everything was broken by a few familiar people, this night I saw a few familiar backs in the Potala Palace, and when I got closer, several people almost at the same time said in unison: "Hey! It's you, Mo Jun! ”
As soon as I saw it, it was Wei Xing, Ling Xiao, Tie Niu, glasses and Gu Wen, there were seven or eight strangers behind Gu Wen, and when I saw such a large group of people, it seemed that there should be some big moves.
I approached them and asked, "So many of you! It should be going."
Wei Xing stretched out his hand to stop me and grabbed: "Be careful! What are you doing here? Do you already know? After saying that, he glanced behind me and said, "What? What about the old man and your brother? ”
I waved my hand and said, "I'm out on a tour this time, and I haven't lived for a while since the last time, and I'm dying of starvation on the streets!" What about you? ”
Gu Wen likes me very much, probably because last time Yang Luotian took a total of four things from the tomb, and he actually gave him the same directly and generously, so that we sold all the things, which was not enough to treat the sick, and we had to pay for it by ourselves, so he liked me very much, and came directly to me and said: "We have a construction site, I want to go and see it in person, what, are you free to go with us." ”
I hesitated for a moment and pretended not to go, but Gu Wen hurriedly dragged me outside, there were many people in the Potala Palace, even at night, there were still many people burning incense.
They were afraid that the wall would have ears, so they simply got off the Potala Palace and went out into the street, where there were many soldiers patrolling at night, and everyone had guns and they were all loaded, and if something happened, they would shoot immediately.
Gu Wen told me as he walked: "Ten days ago, one of my former partners told me that there was an ancient tomb in the Hump Route, this tomb was very large, there were countless gold and silver treasures in it, as well as a staircase to heaven, and there was an elixir that could prolong life after eating. ”
I asked, "How does your partner know?" ”
"I don't know about this, but he told me that I would go looking for anything! In the past few months, everyone has been recuperating from their injuries, and there is no work to do, they are all poor and want to die, and now that they have a big job, they naturally have to go to the sea to catch a handful! No, look at how many people I've called to come with us! ”
"Do you guys have any guys? Don't be like last time, if there are any monsters, beasts or the like in there, and we don't have weapons, it's going to die! ”
Gu Wen patted his chest and smiled: "I went myself, how can you say there is no such thing!" After he finished speaking, he looked at me and smiled, "How is it?" To go or not to go? ”
I hesitated, and when he saw that I was hesitating, he directly climbed on me and said, "Big deal, we're five or five!" ”
I didn't think about it and agreed, he was very happy, and I followed them in a car to the grassland about a hundred miles away from the Potala Palace, where there were about a dozen tents, each of which was lit, and a dozen trucks were parked around.
There were a lot of people around the tent, and there were at least a hundred of them as far as the eye could see, and it was the first time I had seen such a large gang of tomb robbers, and it was so blatant.
Gu Wen told me: "Don't be afraid, this is Tibet, there are grasslands everywhere, as long as we don't shoot casually, no one will confiscate our guns at all, not to mention that most of the nomadic tribes here have these guys in their hands, otherwise the wolves will come, and the cattle and sheep will not be eaten?" Gu Wen paused and said, "Say it again!" You must know that it is more than 100 miles away from the city! There are no police nearby, as the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, they don't know, you can rest assured! ”
I said to myself, fart, isn't there a policeman in front of you!
Gu Wen led the five of us into the largest tent, there were several people in the tent at this time, and as soon as they entered, three of them were wearing a set of black leather clothes, which looked extremely dazzling, and each of these three people wore a piece of jade around their necks.
Gu Wen briefly introduced to me, these three people are the three strongest in the recent tomb robbery world, all three of them are Captain Jin, one is called Lu Yao, one is called horsepower, and the other is called Ren Xin.
Yang Luowen once mentioned that the only one in the four major sects of tomb robbery is the most rules of the gold touching faction, where every time you enter the tomb to touch the gold, you must light a candle in the southeast corner of the coffin, and you must not mess up the bones when touching the gold, and you must leave two pieces for the person in the coffin before leaving, if the candle is extinguished, abandon the coffin, put back the treasure and kowtow three heads and turn away, and you must not come again.
However, these are obviously all conjured up in the novel, I have asked many historians and the older generation of tomb robbers like Yang Luowen, and they all said that in fact, there were no four major schools among the previous tomb robbers, and there were no rules, they took it when they entered the tomb, and sometimes even the gold teeth in the corpse's mouth had to be removed.
As for why Wei Xing, Ling Xiao, Glasses, and Tie Niu call themselves the Four Great Sects? In fact, this is just a seal for yourself, because if you want to get along in the tomb robbery world, you must have your own set, either you have very high tomb robbing skills, or you are very famous, but if you are famous, you have generally been imprisoned and shot.
So in order to let the tomb robbery world spread themselves, most people began to name themselves by themselves, and it just so happened that since the novel said the four major schools, then they also came according to the four major schools.
However, some historians and the older generation of tomb robbers have mentioned one thing to me, that is, there are indeed tomb robberies in the legends, these people are elusive, and there is no false hair, after robbing the tomb, the tomb will be restored to the original appearance before it was not stolen, and they will not take all the treasures, only one thing, but it must be extremely precious things, and there are many things such as co-authoring and dying!
Therefore, there are many ancient tombs where there is often such a scene, a coffin that is not the owner of the tomb or a few very precious treasures are put in the corridor, let them choose, these people are not greedy, get the treasure they think is precious and turn around.
I even suspected at one point that the man in black was talking about the Heavenly Treasure Loan, which had something to do with these legendary tomb robbers.
However, because tomb robbers are crimes both in ancient and modern times, especially in ancient times, the criminal law was heavier, and if you catch it, you will die, so tomb robbers generally work underground, sometimes disguised as a roadside grocery buyer, so there is no way to find them at all.
The three people in front of him who claimed to be the captain of the gold school looked like they should be very powerful characters, and Gu Wen also said just now that the three of them are the strongest three in the tomb robbery world now, even stronger than Wei Xing and them.
It can be seen that the strength of the three of them should not be underestimated!
The most handsome of the three looked up at us at this time: "Gu Tou, I suspect that this is the place where there is the most likely ancient tomb on the hump route, because the terrain here is the most dangerous, and if you look at it extended, it happens to be a treasure cave, Nine Dragons Play Bead Cave, nine dragon heads gather together, it is a treasure cave." ”
Gu Wen and I, glasses, Ling Xiao looked at the map and drank, okay! The Nine Dragons Bead Cave that his mother said was right in the middle of the back of the world, and it was the most difficult and dangerous place to walk.
So far, no one has been able to conquer this place, and some people even say that it is easier to conquer a Mount Everest, and it is more difficult to conquer the center of the back than to colonize the moon.
Gu Wen began to become hesitant: "This, this, this place, why don't we go!" The danger is too great. ”
Ren Xin slapped the table directly and said: "No, as soon as you touch the gold, you will go to the tomb to touch the gold, otherwise you will die next time you enter the tomb!" ”
Ren Xin is a beard, about one meter and seven meters tall, his appearance is average, his hair is shawl, his temper is the most irritable of the three, and the other person is Lu Yao, he looks very cheap, with a cheap face, short hair, speech is not very clear, and his height is also the shortest of the three, as for Ma Li, if he does not have that long beard like Wu Xiubo, he should be able to eat with his face very easily.
I really don't understand why a person who can eat with his face insists on eating by doing illegal things.
Gu Wen was stopped by Ren Xin's question, and the whole person's brows were about to wrinkle together, Gu Wen hesitated for a while and then slapped the table and said, "Okay!" Go for it! Anyway, it's got to this point, and we have to go! ”
The "Hump Route" starts from Assam in India in the west, crosses the Himalayas, Gaoligong Mountains, Hengduan Mountains, Salween River, Nu River, Lancang River, Jinsha River and Lijiang Baisha Airport in the east, and enters China's Yunnan Plateau and Sichuan Province. The total length of the route is 500 miles, the terrain altitude is around 4500~5500 meters, the highest altitude is 7000 meters, the mountain peaks are undulating and continuous, like the back of a camel's peak, so it is named "Hump Route".
It's very dangerous here, the ground is definitely not very stable because of the heavy snow all year round, it is easy to cause avalanches, and once you enter it, you will immediately lose contact with the outside world, if you get lost, then in the face of such a huge map, there is only a dead end.
We're going to the middle this time, so naturally we're going to get as close as possible to the middle, and this place is about four or five days away by car now.
However, in two days we will enter the no-man's land of Tibet, where we will definitely lose contact with the outside, and if we go to the closest point to the middle point, we are already out of the country at that time, and if we are caught crossing the border without permission, people will not give you any nonsense, just do it.
But it's not a big possibility, just imagine, who the fuck has nothing to do to go to that kind of place to see the border? It's like going to die.
Now that the matter has been settled, they all began to pack their bags, and we will set off early tomorrow morning to go to the Nine Dragons Bead Cave that Ma Li had guessed.
Early the next morning, there were shouts all around, everyone began to get busy, some people began to collect tents, a large part of this team were some local workers who Gu Wen paid money to invite, they were responsible for helping us move things, because this time we were going to the hump route, so there were naturally a lot of things along the way, this must need them to move, it is impossible for us to move it! The second reason for this is that there are locals, and if we encounter patrolling police, we can talk well and not arouse suspicion.
