Chapter 145: Life and Death Become a Mystery
When they came to the homes of the Tibetans, they found that they were covered in bruises, purple and bloodstained. Probably the moment the avalanche happened, they were injured by the collapsed temple.
Thanks to the simple temperament of the mountain people, there is not much suspicion. Otherwise, seeing them like this, how can you still believe that they are just climbing and getting lost?
The three mountain people were all local villagers, and they were also brothers. They were very enthusiastic, helped Qin Zhen get medicine and hot water, and prepared some food for them.
Then he sat down across from them and said, "You guys are so lucky, the mountain has been avalanche for nine days in a row!" I don't know exactly why, there is no warning, and there is no reason. It is that from time to time, there will be the sound of the rumbling mountain god's wrath. Fortunately, no one was hurt, and it did not affect the nearby villages. We all say that this is the mercy of the mountain gods. It's so bold that you dare to go up the glacier during this time. ”
Although there was a hint of reproach in the words of the Tibetans, Qin Zhen could hear it, and he felt more afraid of them.
However, when Qin Zhen and the others heard that there had been an avalanche here for nine consecutive days, they couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts. Others don't know the cause of the continuous avalanche, but they know it! These nine days are probably the time to fight against the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
It's just that...... They are trapped in the middle of a sacred mountain, and they really don't feel the passage of time. After coming out, they found that they had been in the snow-capped mountain for more than a month since they left Feilai Temple!
In this way, the time given by the Demon Lord is eighty-one days. Say a lot less, but say a lot more. If there were any more delays along the way, they might have died a really ugly death......
They felt the mystery and bizarre nature of this qiē, but they could only listen quietly to the Tibetans' narration.
You can't take the initiative to tell others: Your wrath of the sacred mountain is caused by a few of us. And the reason why it is not too "powerful" is because there is an old fairy in the Feilai Temple not far away to help. Otherwise, it is estimated that this village will be gone.
If they really said that, it is estimated that even if they did not die in the snow-capped mountains, they would have to let these Tibetans die alive. What a disrespectful act this is for devout believers.
"These days, the Sacred Mountains are full of visions. Although we don't know why. But I could feel that it was the mountain god conveying some kind of will. That's why we organize people to go to the vicinity of Mount Kinabalu every day to turn around the mountain and chant sutras. So that the mountain can calm down his anger as soon as possible, and never blame the living beings. The Tibetans said reverently. After speaking, I didn't forget to gently recite the last six-character mantra.
Qin Zhen clasped his hands together again. A deep bow. Even though they did it for a reason. Although there is an old man of Xuyun sitting on the main peak of the snow mountain, there is no major problem. However, Qin Zhen still felt deeply uneasy about the panic they had brought to these villagers.
They had no intention of offending the gods. There is no intention to defile the sacred mountain. It's just that the lives of countless people are at stake, and there is a powerful curse, which is why he has to repeatedly invade the gods. Qin Zhen thought about these silently in his heart, which could be regarded as an apology to Shenshan and the villagers.
Then, he remembered what the old man Xuyun had said: A thousand years of obsession, heaven and man have the same karma. It would have been a meritorious deed for you to find the root cause and break the curse. The gods and Buddhas will understand that you have a hard time breaking the ban......
While thinking about the old man's words in his heart, Qin Zhen silently prayed to the gods: If it is really a god and a Buddha, let them find Yudong as soon as possible. And Juntian, they are all sinless. I hope the gods and Buddhas will return them......
When the Tibetans saw Qin Zhen's frowning and praying with his eyes closed, they thought that he was still feeling guilty about the mountaineering. So he didn't continue to blame them, but just said repeatedly: "It's good to survive, it's good to survive." But remember, you can't climb the sacred mountain, otherwise you will be damned. ”
While Qin Zhen sincerely responded to the Tibetans, his heart was also torn fiercely.
Damned! Who's to say it's not......? Whatever your ability to reach the heavens and climb the Divine Peak, you will eventually have to pay a heavy price!
So far, although Qin Zhen and the three of them have survived, this kind of survival is more uncomfortable than death. This must be another way of heaven's damnation......
The Tibetans kindly vacated a house for them, settled them, and then went about their own work.
When only the three of them were left in the room, there was silence. Even Gu Jie, who loved to talk the most, was stunned and silent at this time.
Their eyes were a little hollow, and the thrill of being reborn after the catastrophe was not reflected in their faces.
There are also two lives, and life and death are a mystery. It doesn't make them feel relaxed in the slightest. And if you want to find someone, you have to hurry, there is no time to recuperate, and there is no time to sigh about the beauty of life. Regardless of whether Yudong lives or dies, you must hurry up and find him. One minute earlier, one more hope.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhen couldn't sink anymore. Immediately asked Jiang Qi to take out the map and observe it carefully.
This map is a map of the mountains of the whole of Yunnan and Tibet, and I don't know if when Yudong drew this map, it was to find the Demon King, or if it had other intentions.
He had never told anyone what he was going to do, so he suddenly took over what he had been, and he didn't even know where to start.
On this map, in addition to the last marked location of Shangri-La, the Himalayas are used as the boundary, and Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Ali and Nianqing Tanggula Mountains in Tibet, and even Mount Everest and the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon are also hastily circled.
Qin Zhen couldn't understand what Yudong meant, but he knew that since Yudong had circled these places, there must be a reason! And what he needs to do is to walk through the places that Yudong deliberately marked, and follow the clue of the Eye of Shangri-La, there will always be something to discover.
After looking at it carefully a few more times, Qin Zhen raised his head and said to Gu Jie and Jiang Qi: "Old Gu, Daqi, we have thoroughly studied this map today and written it all down. Although I don't have Yudong's unforgettable mind, but the three of us can always remember his mark when we remember it together, right? ”
"Qin Zhen, what do you mean......?" Jiang Qi and Lao Gu raised their eyes at Qin Zhen at the same time.
"I mean, this map has to be destroyed. We keep the map in our hearts and imprinted in our heads, just in case. Yudong and Juntian...... The most worrying thing is about the secret here, we have to reassure them. Qin Zhen said in the end, his tone was lonely and desolate.
Jiang Qi and Lao Gu both nodded, they agreed with Qin Zhen's idea. Even the most cautious person will inevitably have some omissions.
Just like Juntian's 707 Institute, all the secrets were stored in his head, so he didn't have to worry about the secrets being leaked at all.
So the three of them immediately began to study, analyze, and each wrote down all the marks on the map in their own way.
In the past, this kind of research route or next step was decided by Yuto. But today he is gone...... These three people must hold the psychology of "three stinkers on top of Zhuge Liang", learn from each other's strengths, and help each other.
When the three of them felt almost familiar, Jiang Qi found a box of matches and handed it to Qin Zhen. Qin Zhen looked at the map in his hand, but he couldn't do it for a long time.
Because this was the result of their painstaking efforts and their lives as a cost, Qin Zhen was afraid that the three of them would be mistaken. The slightest mistake and the map that cannot be replicated will be gone forever. The temple of Meili Snow Mountain has been destroyed, and there will be no place in the world where Shangri-La is located.
Gu Jie saw Qin Zhen's hesitation and lack of confidence, and hurriedly patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "Big earthquake!" You have to have faith in us! I believe that even if we forget our names, we won't forget this map that we bought in exchange for our lives! Burn it, burn it, we're all at ease! ”
Qin Zhen looked at Jiang Qi and Lao Gu, then nodded, lit a match, and resolutely burned the map that carried all the secrets of Shangri-La.
Before long, only a small pile of paper ash was left on the ground. Qin Zhen took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then said, "Okay, now, we don't have to worry about those secrets being leaked. Daqi, can you prepare some applications? We rested for two days and then set off for Nepal. ”
"Nepal??" Lao Gu asked in surprise: "Isn't Shangri-La in Tibet?" ”
Qin Zhen smiled slightly and said, "You forgot? Yudong once said that to take this Himalayan route, we should not go from Tibet out, but from the outside in. I don't quite understand what he meant, but there must be a reason for this particular order. ”
Old Gu Nene let out an "ah", and then smiled and said, "Well, you remember Dong Shao's quotations quite clearly!" In this way, we can rest assured that we will not be caught blind when the time comes. ”
Qin Zhen glared at Gu Jie and said, "How many words has he said in total?" I remember another fart! It's just that what he analyzed in the end must have his reasons. Perhaps, we should go to Nepal first to find out what is going on about Shangri-La, and then we should go to Tibet. ”
"Well, good. But we're going to cross the border, and we can't bring any weapons. Jiang Qi said with some embarrassment.
Qin Zhen thought about it, then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we don't need to use force when we go to Nepal." The main thing is to inquire about the legends of Shangri-La. After that, I went from Nepal to Tibet. When we get to Tibet, let's look for some self-defense guys. ”
The current Qin Zhen seems to be a calm and calm commander-in-chief. Unexpectedly, Yudong's departure made him grow up. (To be continued......)
