Chapter 7: The Pilgrimage Road (3)
"That's your business, oh, I forgot to tell you," Han Luan smiled evilly, "Since the Japanese side is an island country, they will fly to the United Arab Emirates, and after playing in Dubai for a month or two, they will walk the same pilgrimage route as the descendants of West Asia and Egypt." However, it takes a lot of effort to get from Dubai to Jerusalem through several deserts in Saudi Arabia. The Indian side was not treated so well, starting from New Delhi and crossing the Great Indian Desert and crossing the Suleiman Mountains and the Zagros Mountains, a distance of more than 3,000 kilometers in a straight line! As for the Europeans, with Vienna in Austria as the boundary, the students from Vienna and its west longitude all set out from Vienna, and the students from the east of Vienna were unified to Istanbul, and the latter was much easier, and the former would have to suffer a little......
Listening to Han Luan's serious "explanation", Ji Duyu covered her mouth and held back her smile, while Xiao Baiyu had a dark face and an urge to scold her mother.
From Dubai to Jerusalem, most of the distance is spent in the desert, and for the pilgrimage road, it is difficult to force the route to the desert, but it can be reached for more than two months. From New Delhi to Jerusalem in India, there is a desert and two mountain ranges, but for the physical fitness of the Protoss, it is not difficult to complete the trek in more than four months.
As for the Europeans, the barely starting from Vienna can be regarded as an experience, although most of them are plains, after all, the straight line distance is not close, but you are embarrassed to call it a pilgrimage road from Istanbul?
Xiao Baiyu felt that even if he cut down a tree and cut it into a surfboard, he would be able to paddle from the Turkish Strait to Jerusalem in two months. And he, starting from Lhasa, the back route is no different from that of the Indian students, but before that, he has to cross the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau!
"Don't tell me that all the Huaxia Divine Descendants set off from Lhasa!" Xiao Baiyu asked coldly with a gloomy face.
"Of course not, in fact, the academy is considering that the Chinese Protoss need to cross the Himalayas, and they all set off from New Delhi with the Indian Protoss. However, you have special treatment, and it is the first time that the dean of the academic affairs office of the college has arranged a trip for you. I don't know if you've seen that guy or not, but even if you do, you shouldn't remember it, but when you and your dad went to Guatemala, they made a lot of noise. ”
"Hmph, I don't want to remember," Xiao Baiyu snorted coldly, "But in this way, a guy who has a personal vendetta can also become the director of the Academic Affairs Office? I'm afraid that the itinerary needs the consent of most of the leaders in the academy to pass." ”
"It seems that you still don't understand the extent of Xiao Yifan's unpopularity among the Heavenly Generations," Han Luanshou shook his head with a pretended compassion, "Of course, this is the decision of most leaders. ”
Xiao Baiyu's little face turned white, maybe it would be better to call him Xiao Baiyan at this moment, it seems that the academy is not very friendly to his father, and even turned his anger on him, did Xiao Yifan dig someone's ancestral grave or what?
I thought that not many people knew each other, and when the time came, I could casually mix with an investigator and eat an iron rice bowl for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that I was still a "man of the hour"......
"Although the academy is not bad, I won't say anything more, so as not to make me look like a pyramid scheme. ”
......
On June 15th, in Lhasa, Tibet, under the Potala Palace, Xiao Baiyu looked at the confused road ahead in frustration, thinking that Ji Duyu was already in the hotel in Jerusalem at this moment, and he couldn't help but show an expression of wanting to cry.
The average altitude here is more than 3,500 meters, oxygen is thin, people who live in the plains come here, many will have altitude sickness, although Xiao Baiyu does not have altitude sickness, but with the sensory regulation mechanism of the gods on the body, you can also find that breathing and metabolism are not as smooth as before.
Lhasa, pilgrimage road, the first stop is about to depart!
"This is a solar-powered satellite positioning mobile phone, which country or region will be automatically adjusted to the local time zone, if you encounter a very special and unmanageable trouble on the road, you can press this red 'SOS' distress button, when the time comes, the escort team arranged by the academy will arrive at you within an hour, and I will also receive your distress signal. But don't press it indiscriminately, or you will be disqualified. As he spoke, Han Luanshou handed Xiao Baiyu a small transparent bag, "Put it on your arm, usually you put the phone in the bag, it can be automatically charged during the day, and when the sun is abundant, this mobile phone can be used for two days after charging for three hours." ”
"This is something your dad gave you, and you have to carry it all the time on this pilgrimage. Xiao Baiyu has always wondered why Uncle airlifted such a thing, it turned out to be for this moment.
Looking at this cuboid five feet long, one foot wide, and more than twenty centimeters high, Xiao Baiyu wondered for a while. But it's covered in a white cloth, and I don't know what it is. The position of the strap is very reasonable, and when it is put on his back, the rectangular column is more than 40 centimeters higher than his head, and the lower part is flush with his knee joint, so that when he walks, his heel will not kick to the bottom of the column.
Feeling that both shoulders were sinking, Xiao Baiyu's face changed slightly, "What is this, why is it so heavy?"
"It's just an empty box," Han Luanshou said, "it weighs forty-five kilograms, maybe about the same weight as your future girlfriend, now carry it on your back to familiarize yourself with this weight." ”
"Don't talk about these things that don't matter," Xiao Baiyu roared, "There are forty-five kilograms in such a box?"
"I don't know what it's made of, I just know that your dad found this box from the bottom of the sea in Gibraltar. As for the use, it seems that there is no other use except for loading things. Han Luanshou smiled, but that smile made Xiao Baiyu can't help but want to slap him twice.
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?" Xiao Baiyu's tone became a little unkind, "Carrying forty-five kilograms to travel long distances at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, I don't think this is an idea that a normal person would have in his head. ”
Xiao Baiyu didn't know at this moment that on his back, this box had become his symbol! The pattern on the box had become his pronoun.
"This is a decision made based on your recent physical performance data," Han Luanshou smiled, "Although this box is indeed a bit heavier, it is very useful. Because, its biggest feature is that as long as it can accommodate the range, no matter what you put into it, the weight of the box will not change, it will always be forty-five kilograms, of course, even if this volume is full, it may not be forty-five kilograms, as for why it is easy to use, you will know after using it. ”
"Huh?" Hearing Han Luanshou say this, Xiao Baiyu also raised a trace of interest, "You mean, if it is filled with gold, it will only be forty-five kilograms?"
The volume of this box is a little more than 100 liters, and if it is filled with water, it is 100 kilograms, which is half of the money, but if it is filled with gold, the volume of 100 liters can hold nearly two tons of gold, and the general box structure is absolutely unbearable.
"Uh-huh. Han Luanshou raised his eyebrows slightly and gave an extremely positive answer.
"Interesting," Xiao Baiyu looked at it with interest, not only because of the peculiarity of this box, but also because of the wealth of Xiaozhi Tiandu, two tons of gold, Xiao Yifan actually tried it!
With my uncle's temperament, he would not give such a positive answer to something that he had not practiced, because this guy used to be a theoretical scientist.
"However, during this time, the box should be wrapped in a white cloth first, and it should not be displayed lightly. Han Luanshou's expression was a little unnatural, "It's not that this box is so precious, it can only be said that its style is a bit stylish, and I'm afraid it will be a little eye-catching when the time comes......"
"Pull the wind?" Xiao Baiyu muttered.
Looking at Xiao Baiyu's puzzled expression, Han Luanshou pursed his lips, obviously that guy hadn't understood the meaning of "pulling the wind" yet.
"Eating this pill can degrade the neurological drugs related to the language nerve. When he arrived at the hotel he had booked in Lhasa, Han Luanshou handed Xiao Baiyu a white pill.
"Huh? These restorers are still partitioned? It's quite professional, why don't you give me a restorer that can degrade all the nerve drugs in my brain?"
"The partition medicine is more stable, and after this half-year pilgrimage, the antibody neurotransmitters blocked between the central neurons of the language are estimated to be degraded by 75 percent, which will be of great use for your next trip. ”
"It's still a question of whether you can finish it in half a year......" Xiao Baiyu said helplessly, "What is the effect of taking this pill?"
"Your language function will be reawakened. ”
"Language function? I feel like I have a language barrier. ”
"There is a world of difference between the learning ability of the Protoss and humans, and now your English level is at most level four, you must know that you passed the eighth level of English when you were eight years old, and you are proficient in French and German, and can also use basic Spanish, Italian, Persian, Hebrew and Semitic, compared to you, you are indeed a language impaired patient now. ”
"Oh, you're saying that as long as I take this pill, I can speak all these languages?"
"It's not that you will take the pills, but you will do it yourself, but the language nerve is blocked by the drug, and the target cells bind to the antibodies, causing the neurotransmitter to be unable to transmit. And even if you take this pill, the effect of the drug is not for a while, and without a special stimulation point, you can't know these words plainly, after all, you haven't used it for many years. ”
When he woke up the next morning, Xiao Baiyu felt that there seemed to be some lingering strange thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't grasp what it was, perhaps, it was those nerve cells that were rejuvenated, but he hadn't found a suitable stimulation point, which was the opportunity that the uncle said last night, and now, he just felt that there were more things in his brain, but he couldn't activate them.
"To be honest, you can actually take a detour from Kazakhstan into Iran, and the road may be much easier, and that road is allowed. ”
"I'm full?" Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Tibet have been all mountains, basins, and deserts for generations, and if they take a detour from there, it is a question of whether they can get out of Central Asia within half a year.
"Then go on the road, and go all the way to Jerusalem. Han Luanshou walked up to Xiao Baiyu and said solemnly, while still straightening his collar, "Cheer up, always remember, you are a god, look at what kind of god you look like now, say that you are a bear, even a bear feels wronged." ”
"Those who set off in the same city, are they traveling together?" Xiao Baiyu looked at Han Luanshou and asked quietly.
"No, the pilgrimage path is the epitome of the path that the Protoss are chasing together, remember, no matter how many traveling companions there are along the way, even if they have the same purpose, in the end, you have to go alone. Our experience is not so much life as purgatory, and if we cherish too many things, our souls will not be liberated......"
"Don't say such sad and truthful words at this time, solemn as 'the strong man is gone' as tragic as 'the strong man is gone', I feel a lot of pressure. Xiao Baiyu turned around, the smile on his face did not change, and Han Luanshou couldn't see his expression.
Although Xiao Baiyu said words that mocked him too solemnly, Han Luanshou looked at his back, feeling strange and familiar, familiar because he had seen too many such backs that turned their backs to him and walked towards the abyss without hesitation, and strange because the back in front of him seemed to be able to see a shadow that no one had before......
