Chapter 25 (Updated March 4, 2012)

They descended one by one, and entered a valley about two thousand meters above sea level, which was an extraordinary, green valley in the snow-capped mountains.

The young man saw farmland, streams, and lots of white stone houses. This is where the Kham people live, and there are more than 190 households, most of whom are Tibetans.

The blue-robed man took the young man into the house of the tallest toast, and the man who offered Hada told him that there was no more great toast here, and that the previous toast had left an order to wait for the arrival of the next toast, but they had not waited.

The young man saw the portrait of Toast hanging behind the felt of the main seat, and the young man recognized it at a glance, it was Dong Can's portrait. Dong Can turned out to be the toast here? He was a little surprised, and stared at it for a long time. This Dong Can has a very special blood relationship with him.

Then, the leader of the Hada offerings told him a very bizarre story under the warm coals of coal.

It turned out that among all the porters who came in and out of Xi/Tibet, many people came from this hidden place, but they did not leave here because they couldn't stand the environment here, but Kham Baluo arranged for them to go out.

The only people who really know how to trek through the snow in no man's land are the people of Kangbaluo, because they know a secret passage in the snow, and even if there is a snowstorm, this secret passage will only bury their calves at most.

These porters, who were born in Khambalo, have been doing one of the very important things that their toast has told them is to wait for a young Han man who is about to enter the snow-capped mountains.

Their Tusi said that the young man was a member of his clan in Han and that after his departure, the arrival of this man would help solve their calamity. Before the arrival of this young man, this Han Tusi had sealed a demon in the snowy mountains inside a huge bronze door, but this bronze door was bound to open every once in a while.

Before leaving, the Han Tusi told them that he would not survive the next time the bronze door opened, but fortunately, a young man would arrive here and take over his work before the bronze door opened. The Khambalos must make sure that the young man arrives safely, and that the young man they receive is the one they receive.

So they made a plan, and during the years of waiting, there were many, many Han people who were brought here by the porters, but after their tests, they found that none of them could be the person Dong Can said. In the end, it was Lo Dan who found the most likely one, so when Lama Deren called the porters, he volunteered.

The blue-robed Tibetan who shot at the young man before was called Dan, and he was the best and smartest of the blue-robed Tibetans, and he came to attack the young man to test whether the young man was good at it. The so-called blue robe refers to the jacket that adult males here must wear when hunting.

After listening to these narrations, the young man had already drunk four or five bowls of butter tea, and for the first time the cold weather made him feel a little powerless, so he could only listen quietly without doing any precautions. They continued to talk about how Dong Can arrived here, how he became a toast, how he taught them to deal with the demons on the snowy mountain, and how he left. That's pretty much another story.

Young people understand that the so-called demons may not be literal many times. Dong Can and a few others came to this place after coming out of the deep valley with a huge sphere, and the others left here after repairing and went to the outside world, living a rich life with the gold.

And Dong Can stayed here to "fight against the devil". He must have stayed here for a long time before leaving, and then brought the news of this place to Zhang's house, but he never appeared again - it was later discovered that he lived in a remote lama temple and had been painting an oil painting.

The young man knows Dong Can, although his skills are not as good as himself, but Dong Can is also a very calm person, such behavior can only show one thing, that is, something disturbed his heart like stagnant water and made him disheartened.
