"Old man! Don't scare us...... Vampires are not a product of China... Won't they die from high reflex hypoxia here...? Although Lao Gu said this seriously, he stopped taking off his coat in his hand. And obediently put on his clothes.

The old man didn't say anything more, and continued to walk with them into the mountains. Qin Zhen realized in his heart at this time that the "blood-sucking" thing that the old man said should refer to the locusts here, not the vampire or something like that Lao Gu thought.

Probably because of the perennial walking in the mountains, this old man walked faster than a few of them! Don't look at the old man's thin body, but he walks vigorously, and he doesn't look like a person of this age at all.

They didn't feel how long they drove into the road of Metuo. But so far, they feel that they have followed the old man for a long, long time. Except for the dense vegetation and the verdant greenery of the eyes, there is no trace of modern civilization in sight.

This mountain road is very difficult to walk, Lao Gu said breathlessly with a deep foot and a shallow foot in the back: "This road is really good, three steps and a bump, five steps and a pit!" There's still water in the pit, and there's still nails in the water! This is all the routine of anti-devils back then...... This old man is also really good, going over the mountains and mountains, like walking on the ground! Is this an old immortal who has successfully cultivated in the deep mountains and wild forests? ”

Qin Zhen followed the old man's footsteps, turned back to Gu Jie and said, "For the old people who have lived in the mountains for a long time, this is their most basic survival ability. I think this place may be a relatively good road environment. Go deeper. Maybe there's something worse......"

So, after walking for more than five hours, they finally saw a small village surrounded by forests. It is said to be a village, and the total population will not exceed 100 by visual inspection.

This is also Qin Zhen's purpose of their trip is not simple, if they really came here to hike or travel, it is estimated that they would have been scared away by this strange old man! I didn't ask them where they were going, but after coming out of the county seat, they walked directly out of the mountain road for more than five hours! This time, I was really taken to the barren mountains and mountains.

As soon as the old man took them into the village, many villagers in the originally peaceful village immediately became chaotic as if they had seen aliens! Children who were still playing and playing. It's like seeing a devil and running straight home. Men, women, and children stood in front of their homes. Looking at them with a strange gaze! The child in the woman's arms was so frightened that even the dog at the entrance of the village couldn't stop barking......

This kind of formation really scared Qin Zhen and them. The villagers ...... It's too recognizable, isn't it? The people of the whole country are one family...... It's just three normal Chinese walking in, as for such a chicken and a dog......

Jiang Qi whispered at this time: "This village probably belongs to the kind of village that is completely isolated from the world. Look at the stoves and utensils that are placed at their doors. There is no hint of modernity at all. In such a closed village. Suddenly, three outsiders entered. Probably really a very rare thing. ”

Qin Zhen also nodded and said, "Hmm." Let's pay more attention to what we say and do, and don't disgust the villagers. Gu, especially you! ”

"Your uncle's ...... Why do you have to stress this to me? Am I like someone who doesn't have a su zhì? Am I such an offending person? Lao Gu retorted in a low voice that was not convinced.

"Are you more than just a matter of suzhì? Sue sù you. Here, don't reveal your identity as the captain of the Integrated Law Enforcement Brigade again! This time, no one really bought it. Qin Zhen said softly.

Obviously, this place is much more closed than that of western Yunnan. Just like Lao Gu said before, if you really compare it, Huzi and them are really not isolated mountain villages.

Finally, they came to the door of the old man's house. The low wooden houses are quaint and have been erected by high steps. This is probably to prevent too much rain during the rainy season.

In front of the door sat two young men who looked to be in their twenties, although they were wearing very shabby clothes, not like the red men and green women of modern society. But the body is very strong, and the appearance is quite handsome. The pure aura in the mountains has stained those clear eyes.

What made Qin Zhen and them most pleased was that these two young men could actually speak Chinese! And it's much better than the old man said! When they saw the old man coming back with Qin Zhen and them, there was some surprise and surprise in their eyes, but they still quickly got up and welcomed the old man into the house.

The light inside the house was very dim, and since there were no lights, there were black marks everywhere in the smoke and fire. The simple traces of life look very poor. Perhaps, here there is nothing rich or poor at all. They just rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and live in the most primitive way under the gift of nature.

The old man said that the two children were his grandchildren, and that their grandchildren had always lived in the village. And told Qin Zhen that they could stay here for a while first.

Of course, most of these words were translated by the two lads. Although the old man could speak Chinese, it seemed that he was really unaccustomed to speaking. In a word, it is often a mixture of Chinese and Tibetan...... This made Qin Zhen and the others confused from time to time.

The two lads did not resist the living, on the contrary, they were both very hospitable. They poured water for Qin Zhen with a cup that didn't look like a cup, and asked them curiously why they came here with their grandfather.

Qin Zhen looked at the pure eyes of the two young men in their early twenties, and somehow, he felt a little moved. Perhaps having survived in the mixed modern society for too long, Qin Zhen felt that he had not seen this kind of desireless and greedy gaze for a long time.

Qin Zhen smiled kindly and said, "Motuo is a secret realm in people's hearts, we are here to explore, and we are also here to visit this lotus holy land. ”

The young man smiled understandingly, in recent years, they may have met a lot of travelers who "stick on the road". Therefore, I understand the situation that Qin Zhen said.

The old man reminisced with emotion that the government had been building roads for Motuo since 30 years ago. However, due to this unique geographical structure and complex climatic environment, the road here is almost a section of construction and a section of collapse. Natural disasters such as avalanches and mudslides are non-stop throughout the year. It was as if the Heavenly Father deliberately wanted to keep this last sacred land, and deliberately did not allow the road to be built, so as to prevent those outsiders from polluting this lotus holy realm.

Qin Zhen asked the young man, "What is the name of this village?" It seems to be far away from the county seat of Motuo. ”

The young man smiled and said, "Not every village has a name, sometimes a village that is too small and too isolated has no name. It's like no one would give their yard a name. And it's not the farthest from the county seat. The farthest village from the county seat of Motuo takes 5 or 6 days to get there. ”

Seeing that Qin Zhen and the others seemed to be very interested in Motuo's ancient culture, the young man hurriedly told the old man to tell him some stories about Motuo.

This is exactly what Qin Zhen and them want! Yu Dong once said that all legends and stories, when the veil of mythology is lifted, it is possible to see the unexpected truth of the world. This old man doesn't look like a person who has never been out of the mountains in his life, otherwise, he would not be able to speak Chinese, let alone let his children and grandchildren learn Chinese. So the story he told probably had the plot that Qin Zhen wanted to hear.

The old man took out his cigarette pouch, took two puffs of cigarette, and then said that he had returned to the question when he first met Qin Zhen and them. It turned out that in the eyes of this old man, all the kind of very tall and very big cars were military cars. That's why he asked Qin Zhen if they were the People's Liberation Army at the beginning.

Not to mention, it's not uncommon to see troops anywhere in Tibet. Because this is the border, it is separated from India, Nepal and other countries by only one Himalaya. The old man didn't understand what off-road or off-road, he only felt that this kind of car was somewhat similar to the army car in his eyes.

Qin Zhen also smiled innocently: "Thank you really for 'picking up' the three of us back, otherwise, we don't understand the language, we don't know much about here, and we really don't know what to do." ”

The old man asked Qin Zhen where they were going.

Qin Zhen didn't answer directly, but asked very politely, "Do you know the legend of the Motuo Lotus Sacred Realm?" I've heard that Motuo is like a guardian guarding the most special lotus secret place in the hearts of Tibetans. ”

Hearing Qin Zhen say this, the old man's eyes seemed to flash a light, and then he translated through the two young men: "I really didn't expect that outsiders would know that this place can lead to the Lotus Secret Realm." ”

After hearing this, Qin Zhen and the others almost stood up without excitement! It's too much of a coincidence...... This old man even knows that place!

According to the old man, the Lotus Sanctuary is a place that no one has ever reached. The legends here are extremely confusing, because although there are followers of Tibetan Buddhism, there are more mountain people who follow the primitive religion. So naturally, there will be two very different versions of the results.

More than 100 years ago, King Bomi set up a county here, and it became the residence of the Menba people. The Menba people who first moved here came in search of a sacred place. Legend has it that there is a Pure Land of Buddha in the East, where there is no war, no exploitation, and no suffering in the realm of desire. After searching and searching, they found this isolated island in the mountains.

Hearing this, Qin Zhen always felt that the legendary Pure Land of Buddha in the old man's mouth sounded like Shangri-La, the idealized country in Buddhism. The people who were looking for that Pure Land at the beginning, since they were able to find this place, it means that this place does have a great relationship with that "Pure Land".
