When I first looked at this snow-capped mountain from a distance, it was completely different from what I feel like I am now.

From a distance, the entire sacred peak is covered with snow and exudes a solemn and holy brilliance. But when I actually climbed this mountain, I found that those perfect and picturesque scenery have become shocking dangers.

The peaks are covered with snow and ice that have not changed for thousands of years, and there are countless huge glaciers scattered in the valley area. The mountain is extremely steep, and the slopes are covered with traces of ice chutes left behind by avalanches.

Qin Zhen looked at such a steep snow-capped mountain, and couldn't help but ask Zhuo Ya: "Miss Zhuo Ya, is this ...... Will avalanches also occur at the entrance to this paradise? ”

Zhuo Ya thought about it for a while, and seemed to be thinking about how to answer Qin Zhen the most appropriately. After that, she smiled beautifully and said, "In the Sun and Moon Valley, we can't feel the disaster. However, Mount Kinabalu was able to record what happened. However, in the past 70 years, there has been no major catastrophe. Natural disasters and man-made disasters all arise from man-made disasters. ”

Qin Zhen felt in a trance that this sentence was very familiar. I think that when he and Lao Gu first went to Yunnan to explore Meili Snow Mountain, any catastrophe that happened to Meili Snow Mountain seemed to be attributed to natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Further up, you can already feel the air flow getting stronger, but the wind is not particularly obvious. The strange feeling made them all a little quieter, as if they were all starting to have some bad premonitions.

At this time, Zoya continued to climb the peak and said softly, "Mount Kailash is the god of the world. No one has ever climbed. This may not be the Kailash you remember, but it's actually the same thing. Be careful not to make a loud noise, not to offend the sacred mountain. ”

Zhuo Ya kindly reminded, but Lao Gu covered his mouth with interest. If there is one person in this team who is most likely to make a loud noise, it must be him.

On top of Mount Kinabalu, it is forbidden to climb, make noise, or do anything that is disrespectful to Mount Kinabalu or that will cause filth to Mount Kinabalu. This kind of rule seems to exist in any snow-capped mountain in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Tibet. Among them, Meili Snow Mountain is the most famous. Because there are too many accidents that have occurred there due to "taboos".

The "Kailash" in front of him, which has never been climbed before, seems to have no place to go. Luckily, the ice chutes helped several times. They all relied on those ice chutes to get up.

Walk through the slope valley into the glacier. It's to the most thrilling and terrifying area. The glacier is dotted with jagged ice cliffs and giant ice crevasses that look like bottomless abysses. Walking here, every step begins to be terrifying.

Zhuoya insisted on being at the forefront, even ahead of Yudong. Her reasoning is simple. She knows the "joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows" of Mount Kinabalu. She has a better grasp of the state of the mountain at every moment.

This sounds too idealistic. But Qin Zhen and the others also understood that Zhuo Ya was using her understanding of the sacred mountain to help them avoid detours and dangerous roads. Because it's a journey you can't afford to go wrong with.

As the altitude rises. Qin Zhen found a very strange problem. That is, the higher the altitude, the stronger the wind should be, but at present, they can only feel a chaotic air flow around them, but there is no strong wind, and there is no extreme cold.

Lao Gu stretched out his hand and stopped in mid-air at this time, and then said in a very incomprehensible voice: "Hey? Do you think it's snow? Snow has already begun to fall at this height, but how can there be no wind? ”

Qin Zhen also found that the snow had begun to fall on the mountain, which may be due to the snow on the top of the mountain being blown down by the air current. But they don't really feel the wind. In such a quiet environment, only the snow flutters, this scene is both dream-like and bizarre.

From the moment they ascended the snowy mountain, Yuto barely spoke. He's just been on his way. Such a strange phenomenon as "no wind" was discovered even by Lao Gu, and it was impossible for Yudong not to be unaware of it. I just don't know what he's thinking about right now.

The surrounding snow-capped peaks are lined up, and the mountains are stacked on top of each other, which is extremely spectacular. And now they are not in the valley, but in the snowy mountains. Looking down from a high vantage point, you can find that the unknown mountains around it really seem to be an eight-petal lotus flower surrounding this snow-capped mountain.

From the perspective of this wonderful landscape form, it is indeed in response to the rumors of Shangri-La. Thinking of this, Qin Zhen opened his mouth to ask Zhuo Ya, the question he had always been curious about before.

"Miss Zhuoya, do you know what the Roc is that led the visitor to Shangri-La? Isn't it the Goldwing? ”

Zoya shook her head affirmatively and said, "No, it's definitely not the kind you've seen. Here, Dapeng is the most miraculous and auspicious celestial bird, and light yì will not appear. Unless...... Shangri-La's Guardian Calling. ”

"Summon??" Qin Zhen and Lao Gu both asked in surprise at the same time.

"Well, that's it." As he spoke, Zoya took out a delicate ancient bone flute from his body. It is made from the wing bones of eagles or cranes. As far as Qin Zhen knew, the earliest bone flute could be traced back to more than 9,000 years ago. That's probably the oldest musical instrument in the world.

However, Zhuoya said that this bone flute is not exactly a musical instrument. It is also known as the divine flute and the eagle flute, and it can summon the most sacred king of birds in Tibet.

"The King of Birds?" Qin Zhen felt that the more he listened, the more he couldn't understand. Even if that Dapeng is different from the goldfinch bird they have seen, it should be much different if it comes to terms with the breed, because they are all sacred birds in religious beliefs, heavenly birds. Although it is indeed said that the momentum of the Bird of Prey Divine Beast is full, it is still some distance from the peak reputation of the King of Birds, right?

Zhuo Ya saw Qin Zhen's confusion, so she smiled at Qin Zhen and said, "Don't guess, when we reach the peak, we will have the answer as soon as we get to the peak." ”

Under the leadership of Zoya, they skillfully avoided the dangerous ice crevasse countless times.

The snow was falling and there was silence. The heavens and the earth seemed to have lost their color, and they were dazzling snow-white. This kind of environment is inherently easy to confuse people's minds. Coupled with the shattered surface of the glacier, there is a deadly danger everywhere. If it weren't for Zoya, it would really be extremely difficult for a few of them to climb to the top of the mountain, and even ...... It's impossible.

Walking along the ice slope, you can already see the eerie cloud on the summit. Stretching in the wind, it is like a sacred banner pointing to heaven on earth.

At this time, Lao Gu pointed to the peak behind him and asked, "Qin Zhen, that's what you said...... Strange clouds blowing from the southeast and northwest winds around? ”

Qin Zhen nodded, and looked at the cloud map that was flat on the canopy of heaven with worried eyebrows.

At such a close distance at this moment, Qin Zhen finally saw the strange shape on the cloud clearly. The clouds are thin and thick, outlining a map-like pattern. The whole cloud swayed in the wind, but the dark and light patterns on it never changed. This...... This is counterintuitive.

Qin Zhen was surprised and just wanted to talk to Yu Dong about the abnormality and weirdness of the cloud, and suddenly remembered what Yu Dong had said to him on the giant Buddha before: In this place, there is no common sense at all. Don't let common sense mislead you in the way.

And at this time, Zhuoya and Yudong in front suddenly stopped. And it can be seen from Zoya's long flying hair...... The wind is blowing.

This snow-capped mountain has been eerily calm from the beginning, and now when it is about to reach the top of the mountain, it suddenly dances wildly!

Qin Zhen walked forward again, only to feel that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to block his eyes, covered his mouth with his cuffs and shouted: "Yudong, this wind came too suddenly!" And there's obviously a growing trend! After a while, if we continue to scrape like this, we won't be able to go up at all. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qin Zhen found that his words were still too "beautiful". Because it simply doesn't take a while for a huge amount of snow to be swept up by a strong wind and rampage with the wind! The snow rolled up could no longer tell whether it was snowfall or snow, and the visibility was less than five meters away.

They can't open their eyes when the wind and snow blow, they are on the ice slope, and there is nowhere to hide! If this continues, their situation will be very dangerous!

Snow is not rain, and rain that is a centimeter deep is still so much no matter how much it is squeezed. But snow is different, the snow is swept up by the wind, and then falls to a specific place, and it all changes in a qiē. It's the wind that causes the blizzard, but the wind isn't the scariest thing. The most terrifying thing is that the wind rolls up the huge amount of snow on the entire snowy mountain, and then smashes down from the sky like an influx! As the amount changes, so does the strength of the snow. This sudden blizzard is enough to bury them all in a short period of time!

Probably the biggest snowstorm in modern times was the 1977 snowstorm in Buffalo and New York. In less than five days, the snow was swept up by the wind and poured into Buffalo, with the highest snow cover reaching 30 feet! That's nine meters tall.

However, several of them were now on a snowy mountain, and the wind was blowing up and the snow was suddenly rising. It didn't take five days, it only took five hours, or even fifty minutes, and it was impossible for them to get out of this snowy mountain alive.

Yudong pulled Qin Zhen and them to the side of the snow slope to avoid being buried by the snow. If a person is buried in the snow, whether it is wet or dry snow, he will definitely suffocate to death within ten minutes. And the conditions in front of him are simply impossible to rescue, and no one can save anyone.

Qin Zhen felt that he couldn't open his eyes at all, this terrifying snowstorm reminded Qin Zhen of the avalanche he had encountered in Meili Snow Mountain. It's just that I never expected that the blizzard in front of this heavenly gate was terrifying and far more terrifying than the avalanche on that sacred mountain. (To be continued......)
