The proprietress smiled enthusiastically and replied, "147 bowls." ”

As soon as Qin Zhen and the three of them heard this, they almost sat on the ground unsteadily! 147 bowls! Is this pig Ganglie coming or what?

Just when they were shocked, the noodles they ordered were also served. It turns out that this noodle bowl is more delicate, and there are not too many noodles in it. But...... Even so, the number of 147 bowls is terrifying!

Old Gu said eagerly: "If this is the same time when we were hungry before, I can really eat a hundred bowls of him!" ”

Qin Zhen immediately dispelled Gu Jie's thoughts: "You stop me, eat well, and hurry up." It's hard to come back to life after nine deaths, and you will die here again! For the sake of a free meal, I really can't do it. ”

Gu Jie glared at Qin Zhen and said, "What do you know!" The ultimate goal of this is not to exempt the order, but to reflect self-worth. Don't you think it's a kind of performance art to put a hundred bowls here and eat slowly? ”

Qin Zhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Old Gu, we are all down to this point, do you still have the leisure to study performance art?" What we're doing now is quite performance art in itself, so let's stop for a while. ”

While the three of them were talking and talking, they heard a young man at the table not far away say in not very authentic Chinese: "Hey! I'm finally out of that deep mountain, and I don't want to go back for the rest of my life! People in the mountains, it's so hard to see the outside world! ”

Then one of the older men said, "There are more treasures in the mountains than outside!" You, you don't know how to be content and cherish. He had to come out and sin. Why don't you keep the secret lotus shrine of Motuo? ”

"I was born and grew up in Baimagang, and the lotus holy land is just a legend! Don't lie to me. I just want to go out into the world and don't want to go back. The young man said in a resolute voice.

The elder shook his head and did not speak again. But their small talk quickly attracted Qin Zhen's attention. He and Jiang Qi glanced at each other, and saw that Jiang Qi seemed to be listening to the conversation between those people. So Qin Zhen whispered: "What are we asking for, it seems that there are mountain people here who have Motuo......"

Jiang Qi nodded and said, "At least that young man should be." ”

At this time, while eating his tenth bowl of noodles, Lao Gu asked in a vague whisper: "That young man said that he was born in Baimagang, what kind of ear do you two have!" Did you hear that wrong? ”

Qin Zhen turned around and explained to Lao Gu: "Motuo's ancient name is Baimagang!" The Tibetan word means hidden lotus shrine. ”

"Holy! Qin Zhen, can you? How do I feel like you're possessed by Dong Shao? You know all this? It doesn't seem to take a few days. You're almost full! Gu Jie looked at Qin Zhen incredulously.

Qin Zhen didn't have time to pay attention to Gu Jie's fuss. nodded secretly to Jiang Qi, and leaned towards the table in a friendly manner. Then he said with a smile: "A few fellows, are you going to Motuo?" Qin Zhen asked knowingly. Nothing else, there is still a set of pretending to be crazy and stupid.

Several people at the table looked at Qin Zhen in surprise. In the end, it was the young man who spoke first: "I finally came out. Don't go back! ”

Instead, the elderly man looked at Qin Zhen and asked, "How many of you are going to Baimagang?" ”

Qin Zhen immediately pretended to be a little literary and artistic freshness and said, "Yes." We are travelers. We walked all the way along Yunnan-Tibet to explore the lotus flowers that bloom on the banks of the Brahmaputra River! Looking for the meaning of life...... Qin Zhen thinks that his slightly contrived way of speaking can make people regard him as a young man in literature and art who "always wants to prepare for a trip that says go".

But it didn't work out. The young man looked at Qin Zhen sideways, and pouted and said, "I see that you look like you have come out of the Motuo zipline......"

“……”

Qin Zhen suddenly felt speechless. He looked at his disheveled appearance and would soon be unclothed, then at Jiang Qi's green beard stubble, and then at Lao Gu's appearance as if he had not eaten for three months as if he was possessed by an evil spirit...... It's no wonder that people say they came by ziplining. It seems that the current image of them is poorer than the people of Motuo, who live deep in the mountains.

The young man looked at Qin Zhen very curiously, and it felt as if he was studying: You are so poor like a bird, how can you still have the leisure to travel and go......?

Qin Zhen coughed twice in embarrassment, and then returned to greet the proprietress: "Please add us some side dishes and serve two bowls of noodles." We'll be at the same table and I'll pay for it. ”

Don't look at Jiang Qi now, he doesn't have the majestic momentum he had at the beginning, but his unkempt and tattered clothes still can't stop his "bodyguard" posture. As soon as Qin Zhen's words were finished, he got up and went to the proprietress to settle the bill. The action is called fast, and at first glance, it is a personal bodyguard with professional quality......

Several mountain people were a little confused, probably because they didn't expect that a young man in literature and art would suddenly appear and rush to settle the bill for them. And Qin Zhen's purpose is actually very clear, if he can ask the "Hidden Lotus Holy Land" about the "Hidden Lotus Holy Land" with the money for a meal, wouldn't it be too worthwhile?

The so-called people rely on clothing. The three of them look like this now, it is estimated that they are too lazy to ask passers-by, and their words are relatively weightless. A little bit of wealth can at least make these mountain people understand that the three of them belong to an alternative young man who is not good at making appearances and is good at engaging in some weird performance art......

Not to mention, there is really money in this world that can make ghosts grind and raise their fists without hitting smiling people. After Qin Zhen's "sincerity" was finished, those mountain people were obviously willing to talk to them more.

The young man was the first to ask, "Are you from the city?" Where did it come from? Why go to Metuo? You'll regret going to that place! I don't know what you city dwellers think. ”

In fact, people are like this, they will always have what they have by their side for a long time, and no one will cherish it. People in big cities have long been tired of the neon lights, but it is a prosperity that some mountain people may not see in their lifetime. As for the mountain people, they may yearn for the outside world of flowers, and they have been trying their best to go outside the mountains all their lives. But they don't know that the most ordinary scenery around them is the scenery that people in big cities want to see.

Some people, sacrificing their wealth and life, regardless of the pain and discomfort, must see the holy realm of this snowy plateau in their lives. But these ...... In the eyes of the mountain people who have lived here for generations, they may feel that this is the unfairness of fate.

Let's just talk about this Motuo, a mysterious place that many people want to approach in their dreams. Imagine that when you really walk to Lotus Square, you may be excited to shed tears. However, the young man in front of him said that he never wanted to go back in his life......

Qin Zhen didn't want to argue with this young man about the sacred meaning of Motuo to them. Different growth environments and different social environments must have created different values and world views.

So at this moment, Qin Zhen just smiled kindly and asked, "This little brother, can you tell us about Motuo?" ”

The young man's expression was exactly: What is there to talk about in such a place? But looking at Qin Zhen's sincerity, it was not easy to refuse directly. So after thinking about it, he reluctantly said: "The place where the whole of China has an ultimatum is now a road." Otherwise, I don't know how to get out! If you follow the Nazhamo Highway and see the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon, it will not be far away. When you see the big sign welcoming you to the people of Motuo, it's time to arrive! ”

Qin Zhen touched his chin a little helplessly. The young man's answer was really true, and when he asked him to talk about Motuo, he came to say a few words......

At this time, the elderly man on the side said, "If you are going to travel to Motuo, you can take a general walk." The deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes. In many villages, the only way to cross the river is to zipline. The mountain folks have been used to it for generations, but you guys try not to take any chances. Moreover, some villages are so closed that they have never seen outsiders, and if you go, it may cause them inconvenience. ”

The elder clearly did not want outsiders to harass the isolated mountain people. Maybe in his eyes, it was a paradise, the last pure land in the world, and he didn't want to be defiled by outsiders.

Qin Zhen had a score in his heart at this time, if he wanted to ask the secret of the Lotus Holy Land, he had to start with this elder. The young man was full of resistance to the mountains, and he would not go into the culture of Motuo.

Qin Zhen folded his hands and said to the elder almost reverently: "Please believe us, we really admire the most mysterious secret realm in China. We just want to see that real paradise with our own eyes in this life. When Qin Zhen said this, his eyes glowed with piousness, as if he was really an "artist" who persistently pursued the value of his soul......

The elder may not have understood Qin Zhen's godly chattering behavior, but he seemed to be moved by his sincerity. At this time, he sighed slightly and said, "Motuo is like a guardian, guarding the ancient lotus secret realm...... It's not that it's backward and closed, it's a hidden place. ”

Qin Zhen's eyes lit up when he heard this! He just wanted to know where the Lotus Secret Realm was! Since the old man of Xuyun said that Motuo has this place, it must have something to do with the search for Shangri-La. Then this "Lotus Secret Realm" is the place that is most likely to be related to mythology!

Qin Zhen suppressed his excitement and pretended to be calm and curious, "Can you tell us about that Lotus Secret Realm?" It's really unheard of......" (To be continued......)
