Chapter 53: The Father of the Mountains
After a long time, Qin Zhen, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes slightly, he looked at the clear blue sky and the emerald green jungle, sighed exhaustedly, and then muttered softly: "Xia Yudong...... If you don't give me a good life, then you're sorry that we almost can't live anymore for you......"
After hearing this, Lao Gu on the side snorted and said, "Okay, Da Zhen, is it useful for you to threaten Dong Shao in this deep mountain and old forest?" This complaint punishment will have to wait until he is found. If you want me to say, our buddies have such an iron relationship, and they are not greedy people, just let him compensate for 20 figures. But don't open your mouth, if you do that, I'm really anxious with you! ”
"......" Qin Zhen silently turned his head and glanced at Lao Gu, he didn't even bother to think about it, did he know how much 20 figures were for that product? For his unique and strange way of complaining, Qin Zhen really has nothing to say. As the saying goes, you can't be like someone with a low IQ, otherwise he will pull you to the same IQ level as him, and then beat you with his experience.
Sure enough, soon Lao Gu seemed to remember something important, patted his thigh and said, "Ouch, it's broken!" We're still in front of us! I have to go back quickly, otherwise what will I do if the wild wolves and wild dogs are taken away...... It doesn't matter what's inside, the main thing is that there's a lot of money! ”
Listening to this kind of crazy words of wealth fandom, Qin Zhen really didn't bother to deal with him. As soon as he picked up a life, he still had the mind to think about the pile of luggage and money......
If it were usual, Jiang Qi might also laugh and interject a few sentences. But now he never spoke. Because until now, I could see that his arm was trembling slightly. This is the normal reaction of using force. It is conceivable that in the process of saving Qin Zhen, he really did his best.
Qin Zhen gratefully stretched out his hand and put it on Jiang Qi's arm, then smiled sincerely and said, "Daqi, thank you so much." Dude's life, I finally picked it up. ”
Before Jiang Qi could speak, Lao Gu sat up and said provocatively: "Hey, the surname is Qin." Without Gu Ye, I played a decisive role in the back. You might as well have taken the banner with you! This first-class merit, no matter how you say it, you have to share it equally between the two of us, right? ”
Jiang Qi also sat up, patted Lao Gu and said, "This time the head work is all yours." If you hadn't dragged me desperately just now, I wouldn't have been able to bear the huge momentum. I'm on my own. It's impossible to save yourself. What's more, it is to rescue Qin Zhen. Good brother. Great work. ”
When Jiang Qi said this, Lao Gu was a little embarrassed. This is the virtue of this man, if you do not praise him. He'll be endlessly picky. But once he really praised him, he was still a little uncomfortable. In Qin Zhen's words, this is a typical type of looking for nothing.
Originally, I wanted to follow Lao Gu's idea and hurry up to find the backpack. But later, driven by Qin Zhen, they lay on the ground again. Because I really don't have any strength at all, and I'm very, very tired. They are all flesh-and-blood living people, not like Yudong. Qin Zhen knew very well that what they needed most at the moment was to take a good time, otherwise the road behind them would become more and more exhausting.
As for the luggage that Lao Gu said, you can't lose it even if you put it there. Where would there be those wild dogs and wolves he said here, if there were, they would have become a snack for python leeches long ago. Besides, even that magical life-saving fork had fallen into the abyss with the Titan, and they really didn't have anything to worry about losing anymore. If there were humans other than the three of them now, even if it was a thief, Qin Zhen felt a little overwhelmed......
Heading up the river, they finally returned to where they had left their luggage. Lao Gu, the master who sacrificed his life and money, ran to him in two steps at this time, and carefully looked through the contents of the bag. After that, he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Hey! Luckily I didn't lose anything......"
Qin Zhen sighed helplessly, and said as if surrendering: "Old Gu, since the bags are here, then nothing must have been lost." Do you still expect wild wolves and wild dogs to rummage through your bag to see if there is anything of value? ”
Lao Gu took out a clean dress from his bag, turned around and smiled: "Look, God still favors us." The clothes are not wet, so we can change our outfits and continue on our way. Otherwise, when we get to the snowy mountain, we will still have the shape of the soup chicken now, and eighty percent of them will freeze to death. ”
Qin Zhen didn't have the strength to argue with him, he just nodded, and also took out his clothes to change into. The contents of this bag are not wet, and it is also a loss that this backpack is good. Lao Gu is right, if you go up like this, it is estimated that it will not take long to see the snow-capped mountains. When the temperature drops sharply, it will not be easy for them.
The three of them packed their bags again and continued towards the area where the altitude had risen in a straight line.
On the way, the three of them discussed the upcoming arrival of Nanga Bhava.
That mountain peak can also be said to be world-famous, with the same sacred aura and famous glory as the Meili Snow Mountain.
In fact, in Tibetan areas, all snow-capped mountains are a Mount Everest, and all snow-capped mountains have a long history of myths and legends. The devout beliefs of the Tibetan people have convinced them that every snow-capped mountain represents a deity.
Since entering Tibet, Qin Zhen has also done a lot of homework on the snow-capped mountains in the process of communicating with the locals. Especially when they set out from Metuo, they learned a lot from Tashi.
And when it comes to the huge triangular peak Nanga Bhava, we have to mention the legend that belongs to it.
Nanga Bhava Peak is also known as Mudrobar Mountain, which means stone falling from the sky in Tibetan, and has always been known as the "father of mountains". It is the boundary mountain of Nyingchi and Metuo, at the confluence of the Himalayas and the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, and is also the highest peak in the eastern section of the Himalayas, with an altitude of 7700, and is one of the famous sacred mountains in southeast Tibet.
In other words, the moment they set foot on Nanga Bhava, it will mean that the three of them have finally walked up the Himalayan mountain range.
They knew very well how long this was a mountain range, and they also knew how much of the vast snowy area occupied the whole of China. To find a mythical place in this mysterious mountain range, it is really a bit whimsical and foolish.
But Yudong believed it. He always believed that there was a Shangri-La existence, and in the end he mysteriously disappeared from the ancient map of Shambhala. Therefore, no matter how ridiculous this seems to be, for Qin Zhen, there is already the most worthwhile reason to go on. Again, he believes, that's enough.
When inquiring about the legend of Nanga Bhava, Qin Zhen heard a familiar name - "The Legend of King Gesar". This magical epic was an important basis for their search for the temple at the top of the Meili Snow Mountain. And now, it will once again lead them to Nanga Bhava.
According to the description of the battle of Menling in the "Legend of King Gesar", Nanga Bhava seems to be a spear that pierces the sky. It is covered with snow all year round, and the clouds and mist are shrouded in it, and the situation that is not light in front of the world is even worse than that of Meili Snow Mountain.
There is a statistic that out of a million travelers, 50,000 will go to Tibet, 10,000 will go to Nyingchi, and then at least 5,000 people will go to see Nanga Bhava. But in the end, no more than ten people can see it for what it really is. Such odds are not much different from winning the Mark Six lottery. Therefore, the locals will say that if anyone can see the true face of Nanga Bhava, it must be a blessed person with a wide range of Buddha connections.
As for why it hides in the clouds and refuses to see people all year round, there is a seemingly cruel story. When they first heard this story, Lao Gu kept sighing, not knowing whether it was nature that created the myth, or the myth that created nature.
Nanga Bhava, which means "thunder and lightning burn like fire" in Tibetan, also refers to the spear that pierces the sky in the Legend of King Gesar. Either way, it's not hard to see the masculinity and unconquerable fierceness in its name.
In mythology, the heavens once sent Nanga Bhava and Gala Bailei to guard the southeast of Tibet. As a younger brother, Gala Bailei is gifted and intelligent, and the most important thing is that he is getting higher and higher. Nanga Bhava's temperament was a bit violent, and he was very disgusted with his brother's excellence, so he killed his brother with his own hands on a dark and windy night. And threw his head into Mirin County, and turned into Delashan.
In order to punish Nanga Bhava for his unforgivable sins, the gods and Buddhas punished him by forever stationing on the banks of the Brahmaputra River, always accompanying his younger brother who was killed by his own hands. Thus, there is the round Gala Bailei Peak that people see in the world today, because he has no head, and there are no peaks that have never been spiked. As for Nanga Bhava, it is because he knows that he has sinned deeply, so he does not appear to see people again because of the clouds and fog all the year round.
This legend has spread widely in Tibetan areas, and everyone regards it as a myth. But for Qin Zhen and them, after experiencing the "red-faced god" of Meili Snow Mountain before, how could they still turn a blind eye to this violent "brother"?
After so much to come, they can no longer take legends as real legends. They can no longer look at every myth from the most objective perspective.
And I don't know if the sacred mountains in Tibet have similar stories, it is said that there is also a shrine on Nanga Bhava Mountain, where there is a road to heaven. Because of this, people who have lived in the Brahmaputra Gorge area for generations are in awe of this steep and precipitous peak.
However, unlike the Meili Snow Mountain, Nanga Bhava is not at the summit of its legendary temple. Instead, it was in a "secret realm that no one knows", that is, the lotus secret realm under the cliff on the west side of Nanga Bhava, which Qin Zhen and the others were looking for.
