Chapter 10: The Silver Piece
It is a typical alpine lake, we advanced from the southwest position, and the terrain along the way was staggered, with plateaus and valleys, and due to the altitude, there was a lot of snow, and the wind was very cold. From where we are standing at the moment, we can see Guo Zaco.
Of course, we didn't want to cross it, but to go around the northwest of the lake to reach the high-altitude no-man's land, which was a little late in time, so instead of continuing on, we chose to camp on the spot. Zhou Xuanye and I set up tents together, working as coolies, while Tan Jian sat on the ground, looking at Guo Zhao in the distance, pursing his lips, revealing his proud side profile, as if he was thinking about life, in fact, I knew that he was just lazy.
In Tan Jian's words, these miscellaneous things are not what he should do. Through my many travel observations, whenever it was time to do chores, Tan Jian would put on a deep and serious pose, as if I was thinking, and signaled the people around me not to disturb him.
Zhou Xuanye has been a senior brother with him for so many years, and he hasn't assassinated him yet, so he really has a good temper.
Forget it, the boss will pay the money, it doesn't matter if the boss is lazy, as long as you give the money on time.
After we finished setting up the tent, Tan Jian also finished thinking about life, put away the deep side face that had been posing at us for a long time, and sat down in front of the tent to chew on compressed biscuits. It was dark here, after eating, the sky was still bright, although my muscles were sore, but I couldn't sleep, so I sat down in front of Tan Jian and posed.
This location has a great view of the whole of Kouza Tso and the surrounding undulating terrain, with white snow and blue lakes, all of which are beautiful together. I couldn't help but think of Team Zeng's words. Since they were going to enter the Snow Mountain, they must have passed through Guo Zhacuo, such a beautiful lake, he didn't pay attention to it, so how beautiful is the very, very beautiful lake in his mouth that is located in the depths of the Snow Mountain?
Even after seven years, he couldn't forget it even when his memory was damaged?
Zhou Xuanye also sat next to him, sighed, and said, "Beautiful." Then he asked me, "Can you afford it?" ”
I said, "No problem, I don't feel anything." ”
The altitude here is already more than 5000 meters, and the average person, when they reach an altitude of about 2700, they will have altitude sickness, but except for a very small number of people, this altitude sickness is generally very small, and it will not be noticed, and when it reaches about 4,000, this reaction will be more obvious, as for the place at an altitude of about 5,000, it is a little challenging for ordinary people. However, this thing varies from person to person, and some people have good physiological adaptation and psychological quality, so it will basically not have an impact.
I'm a highly anti-sensitive type, but fortunately, I came a month early** and did some adaptive exercises, so I really don't feel much at this time.
When Zhou Xuanye heard this, he said: "It seems that the previous training is still effective. ”
I nodded, looked at the lake in the distance, and suddenly became a little curious: "I heard that the lake water is half brackish and half light, I don't know if it's true." ”
Zhou Xuanye smiled: "This is still fake. ”
"Why is this happening?"
Zhou Xuanye motioned for me to stand up, and finally pointed to Guo Zha and said: "It is light in the north and salty in the south, have you seen it, the trend of this lake is high in the north and low in the south, and the north is full of snow peaks of more than 6,000 meters, and the snow water melts from the snow mountain, forming an ice ditch, which dilutes the water in the north, so this pattern is formed." ”
"Brother Zhou, you know so much, it's too good."
"It's not my cow, it's just that I checked Baidu beforehand." Speaking of this, he suddenly said: "When I checked the information, I also saw a saying, it is said that the water of this lake is very rich in minerals, and if you take a bath in it, you will not get skin diseases in the future, do you want to try it." ”
I said, "Don't be funny, the temperature is estimated to be only three or four degrees now, go down and take a bath, don't freeze to death." ”
The two of us are idle, but Tan Jian is different, this girl has already dragged her shoes, socks and gloves, and went down to a snowmelted ice ditch not far away to wash. Cleanliness is sometimes something to be admired. However, Tan Jian didn't soak his foot for long, and suddenly pulled his foot out, and his facial expression wrinkled, as if he had stepped on something in the water.
I stood on a high place and shouted, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" ”
He didn't answer me, he bent down and went into the water to touch it, and after a while he felt something, a little far away, I couldn't see what it was, but looking at the shape and color, it didn't look like a stone, but like a fragment of something. Tan Jian observed it at the afterglow of the skyrim, and his expression looked serious.
Zhou Xuanye and I glanced at each other, didn't say a word, and immediately ran down, there are not many things that can arouse Tan Xuan's interest, what is that thing?
Soon, the two of us ran to the side of the ice ditch, only to see what Tan Jian was holding in his hand, like a piece of iron, a very thin piece, about the size of half a palm of an adult, and there were some lines on it, which obviously showed that it was artificial, not a naturally formed thing. At the edge of it, there is also a green thing inlaid with the size of a bean, which Zhou Xuanye said should be turquoise.
Tan Jian said: "It's a fragment of some kind of silverware, it should be a long time old." ”
I said, "Is there still an antique in this ice ditch?" The last time I watched the news, I said that there was a mountain ditch, and a lot of antiques were found, all of which were washed down by the river from the collapse of the ancient tombs on the mountain, hey...... Could it be that this is also rushed out of the ancient tomb? ”
Tan Jian glanced at me with disdain, and said in a deep voice: "**In ancient times, sky burial was practiced, and later there was a burial in Sinicization, but it is rare, if you want to meet an ancient tomb in this place, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack." As he spoke, he looked at the silver piece in his hand again, took out a small condenser from his pocket to check the lines on it, and felt like an archaeologist in an instant.
I saw that he was looking very attentively, and I couldn't help but wonder a little, I knew that Tan Jian liked things like jade and stones, when did he become interested in these things?
After a while, he suddenly frowned and said, "Find out if there is anything like this in the water." ”
Although I don't understand the antique market, I also know that this kind of broken prototype can't see the splinter is worthless, so I said, "Boss, what are you looking for this?" ”
Tan Jian ignored me, handed the condenser to Zhou Xuanye, motioned him to look at the silver piece, and said: "The lines on it are very similar to what we saw in the tunnel of the Yumen Secret Palace at that time, it is Fusang wood. "I heard that I was a little unsettled here, how could there be a pattern of Fusang wood on the silver piece that I accidentally picked up from the ice ditch?
That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?
After reading it, Zhou Xuanye also nodded in agreement, saying that it was the pattern of Fusang wood, and at that moment, Zhou Xuanye and I also took off our shoes and socks, and the three of them entered the cold ice ditch and waded through the water. Soon, we found three more fragments, all of which were crescent-shaped, Zhou Xuanye judged that these fragments should be one, probably some kind of Tibetan accessory, but why they appeared in this ice ditch really made us feel incredible.
The upper reaches of the gully are the high Gauza Tso, which flows down the highlands, and the low temperatures make both sides full of ice floes and snow.
Could it be that this thing was washed down from above?
We immediately groped upstream, and sure enough, we found more.
More than two hours later, we arrived at the periphery of Guo Zatso, my feet were already frozen, even if I stopped and stopped, I couldn't stand this cold stimulation, the muscles in my legs twitched a little, and the meridians were slightly swollen and painful as if they were frozen into ice bars.
When we get here, we can't go any further, because if we go any further, we will have to go down to the lake.
Obviously, as we suspected, these things were indeed washed down from the lake in Guozacuo, and by this time, we had already recovered more than a dozen fragments, which had all kinds of strange patterns, two of which had traces of hibiscus wood.
I even came up with a bold conjecture, could it be that the very, very beautiful lake that Zeng Team said was actually Guo Zha's mistake? He had been crazy for a while, could it be that there was a mistake in his memory, so he remembered the location of the lake incorrectly?
Perhaps, the mysterious inhabitants of the snow-capped mountains are actually very close to this lake?
No, if it was close, it should have been discovered, otherwise it wouldn't be called a no-man's land.
What the hell is going on with these things?
At this moment, Zhou Xuanye, who was still persevering in the water, suddenly touched out another thing, this time the thing he touched was not a fragment, but when I looked at it, my doubts deepened.
It was a pendant, a modern pendant, under the black rope, a zodiac made of gold, in addition, also fell a rectangular silver piece, the silver piece was inlaid with agate turquoise and other things, relatively well preserved, but the texture and shape, at a glance, and some of the fragments we picked up before belong to the same batch.
Coco, how did it come to be worn on this pendant that is clearly modern craftsmanship?
