Chapter Seventy-Four: The Sacred Mountain Shrine
Qin Zhen also realized that he seemed to be a little out of shape just now, so he tried to calm down and sat down again. He did not explain his abnormal state to the old man, because he believed that an old man who was about to die would naturally understand his worries about his best friend.
Speaking of understanding, Qin Zhen also understood what this old man did. Destroying the Buddha's bones is certainly a way to protect Shangri-La, but it is not complete enough. As long as the Eye of Shangri-La is still there, and the power to turn things around is still there, Yiqiē is still in a state of panic.
There is a destiny in the dark. Qin Zhen and the others just happened to appear in this village, and the old man was still alive, and their feelings and intentions were so similar. This cannot but make one begin to believe in the so-called fate. It seems that every link in the destined is closely interlocked, and the wrong one will not be the final result.
After Qin Zhen calmed down, he opened his mouth and asked the old man's crucial question: "Old man, which monastery in Nepal is the Buddha bone in?" What kind of place are you talking about? If you believe me, please tell me all of them. Even if it is difficult to climb to the sky, we can definitely do it! ”
Looking at Qin Zhen's resolute expression, the old man nodded and said, "You are all injured all over your body, and you all look extremely tired. Just rest with me for a while! It also allows me to think about the distance and the location. Seventy years have passed...... Although the memory is still fresh, it still needs to be remembered and confirmed. ”
Speaking from the bottom of his heart, Qin Zhen was very understanding and grateful when he heard this. But there was still a heart-wrenching anxiety in his heart. It makes him feel restless everywhere. It's as if the search for Shangri-La can't be stopped, and once it stops, he feels terrified.
This is because there is a powerful opponent like Fu Tianlei exerting invisible pressure on them, and they can't be slower than Fu Tianlei's pace. Of course, the main reason is that Qin Zhen is worried about Yudong's life and death. He was always afraid what he would do if he couldn't make it to save him. One more day of delay would have put his life in danger.
The old man seemed to see Qin Zhen's thoughts, so he persuaded Qin Zhen: "There are some things that can't be rushed." I've waited seventy years for you. The person you are looking for, if he is still alive, then he will not die lightly. If he's dead, no matter how fast you are, it's useless. What should happen happens naturally. Just do it with your heart. God has its own arrangement. ”
Although it sounded like just some slightly cruel reassuring words, it was very touching to Qin Zhen's ears. He even found rare peace in the old man's last words. When people feel powerless in front of them, believing that God has his own arrangements may be the best sustenance.
The old man faithfully handed over the Buddha bones to Qin Zhen and said to them, "I will ask Qiangba to bring some medicine to heal your injuries." You will also be given herbs to fight off altitude sickness that you are not used to. It's not that high. Know the path you are about to take. It will be the top of the world. If you can't overcome this most basic high anti. I'm afraid you won't even be able to reach the Holy Mountain. ”
Qin Zhen, of course, knew in their hearts that what the old man said was right. They are now dizzy, nauseous, and have trouble breathing, as if their lungs and trachea have been scrapped. This snow-capped mountain is full of treasures. It is believed that these all-natural herbs will be more effective than ordinary Western medicines.
So they all thanked the old man unanimously at this time. Then Lao Gu followed up and asked: "Eh, old man, which mountain is the holy mountain and holy mountain you have been talking about?" I found that these people who guard the snow-capped mountains seem to have a habit of calling any snow-capped mountain a holy mountain. ”
The old man smiled and asked, "Then in your eyes, when you mention the sacred mountain in Tibet, which mountain will come to mind at first impression?" ”
Qin Zhen suddenly reacted with a name in their hearts! That's a name that represents the pinnacle of the world! They couldn't help but feel terrified and shocked, if it was the mountain, then they were really not sure if they had the ability to climb the highest peak in the world......
The old man looked at their pale faces, smiled again, and said, "This reaction is correct. If you want to get to the shrine, you have to climb over a natural barrier, Mount Everest. The holy mountain is Lhotse Peak, which is just three kilometers away from Mount Everest. After you leave Nepal, you go up to Mount Everest and then to Lhotse via Nepal. Jingu, right on Lhotse. ”
Just listening to this itinerary is thrilling enough. However, Lao Gu still patted his chest and said, "Ouch, old man! You're scared to death! As soon as you talk about the holy mountain, we really think that we are going to go to the summit of Mount Everest! Although it is said that our brothers are all heroes who are brave and brave in the three armies, brave and good at fighting, and invincible...... But if we want to say that we have reached the summit of Mount Everest, we really don't know the bottom of our hearts! Thankfully, just passing by......"
Before Lao Gu could finish rejoicing, the old man asked with some confusion: "Are you so afraid of Mount Everest because of its height?" ”
Old Gu looked at the old man in surprise, and then replied as a matter of course: "Of course it is!" Old man, that mountain is the highest peak in the world! More than 8,800 meters! Can we not tremble? The heroes of Liangshan can't stand it! But luckily it's not that mountain......"
The old man nodded knowingly, then looked at Lao Gu and said, "Oh...... I see. But I don't think 300 meters is much different. ”
"W-What 300 meters?" Lao Gu looked at the old man with wide eyes, and began to have a bad premonition in his heart.
"Lhotse is only 300 meters away from Mount Everest. Do you think it's a big gap? ”
The old man said this very naturally. But Lao Gu almost didn't vomit blood after hearing this: "What?!" You're not kidding, old man, are you? What kind of holy mountain do you mean 8500 meters?? Surely the shrine is also on the top of the mountain? "It seems that since the beginning of Meili Snow Mountain, the experience has been summed up in the impression of Lao Gu. Whenever there is a legendary palace on a certain sacred mountain, it must be on the top of the snow-capped mountain. So at this time, when he heard that he was going to climb a snow-capped mountain that was only 300 meters away from Mount Everest, he still couldn't sit still.
But the old man replied disapprovingly: "It's at the top of the peak, that shrine, and that's where the Shangri-La ceremony is started." You have to come. ”
After listening to the old man's final decision, Lao Gu sat back on the chair, looking at the roof with blank eyes, and the demon muttered in a daze: "It's over...... I don't know how to die......"
Although Qin Zhen's heart was also very shocked, he was extremely calm at this moment. This is not meant to be shown to the old man, nor is it to show how brave and fearless he is. But before that, no matter how impossible it was, he had imagined it, and no matter how bad it was, he had already made a good plan. Therefore, it is not unacceptable to tell the old man about the snow-capped mountain peaks they will face.
Qin Zhen always believes that the stories that can happen in the Himalayas will definitely not be absent from Mount Everest. It is the pinnacle of the Himalayas, the symbol of the entire mountain range, and every qiē legend here will be associated with it. And as they are extremely familiar with the latitude, Mount Everest is definitely a typical representative.
In the vicinity of 30 degrees north latitude, they will face more than one snow-capped mountain. But...... Fortunately, they are already familiar with it. Every distance to be walked seems to be inseparable from this magical latitude. At first, I thought it was very bizarre, but over time, it became strange.
The old man asked with some concern: "You ...... Will it work? ”
"Yes!" Qin Zhen simply replied to the old man firmly.
"That's right! Yes! That's not a problem! Winning the top of the world is no different from the last room for our brothers! Simple! Lao Gu said to the old man with his chest straight.
Jiang Qi on the side was stunned, and approached Lao Gu and asked in a low voice: "Simple??" ”
Lao Gu smiled at Jiang Qi without skin and face: "Blow......"
"......" Jiang Qi looked at Lao Gu speechlessly, and didn't say anything for a long time. He couldn't understand what problems blow could solve at this time......
The old man looked at them all full of confidence, and he felt a little more at ease. He stood up and pointed to the wooden stairs behind him and said, "Go up, let's rest first." I will try my best to give you a good recuperation and recuperation, and strive to have a good body to complete your mission. Young people, there is a long way to go......"
Qin Zhen nodded, and finally couldn't help but ask something he had always wanted to ask: "Old man...... You...... What was the connection with Shangri-La back then? Do you have anything to do with the Nazis' mission in the first place? ”
The old man seemed to know that Qin Zhen would ask this question sooner or later, so he just looked at Qin Zhen fixedly at this time, and then shook his head and said, "It's okay not to mention the old past." Seventy years ago, I have almost forgotten all about it...... After living here for a long time, you will forget who you were in the first place. I'll help you think of useful things, so you can rest. With that, the old man slowly walked back to the back room.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they were not surprised by this result. Surprisingly, the old man so decisively vetoed the former one. Not surprisingly, since he settled in this isolated village, and did not even speak Chinese for decades, it was to break with his past. So it makes sense for the old man to say that he had forgotten who he was.
After going upstairs, Lao Gu muttered in a low voice: "This old man is so mysterious, can't he reveal his identity yet?" I wonder if he's one of the SS too? Later, he changed his mind and became a new person. ”
(Note: SS - Hitler's Private Detachment, short for SS.) (To be continued......)
