Chapter 106: Machu Picchu (2 Watches 1)
"Going? But your friends haven't come back yet, have they? When Granny GΓΌlen and Elder Rambuni heard that Dr. Yan was leaving, they became a little anxious and reluctant.
"It doesn't matter, they'll find me. I have other things to do, so I won't stay here any longer. β
Yan Zixiu has a limited amount of time to retreat.
Now everything has been arranged. Since there was no special need, he did not want to waste more time.
He had left the teleportation light gate talisman for the golems. After they come back, they will be directly teleported back to the fairy mansion through induction and positioning.
The two old men saw that his attitude was more firm, and it was difficult to force him to stay: "Then your car has not come back, how can you go?" β
These words reminded Yan Zixiu of the same question that Jia Yu asked during his trip to Australia. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on with that little girl now. With the Bodhisattva with her, it should be fine.
"Don't worry, I walk a lot, I'm used to it."
Yan Zixiu said goodbye to the two old men according to the local etiquette he had just learned, turned around and walked into the wind. It disappeared in a flash.
Granny Glenn said suspiciously, "Rambuni, am I dazzled?" Did Doctor Yan disappear in a blink of an eye? β
Elder Rambni tugged at his white beard, "You're not dazzled. He walked two or three steps and then disappeared. It's amazing, it's amazing. No wonder it can call the wind and rain. β
The mother-in-law muttered to herself, "He must be a messenger sent from heaven." We were so lucky. β
β¦β¦
Yan Zixiu saved the lives of Lili's mother and son, and helped the villagers of Haidong Village and Lambuni Village redeem land and buy food, and they were in a good mood.
After he left with the technique of shrinking the ground into inches, he found a place where no one was around, and began to sense the location of the next 10,000-mile journey, and used the teleportation light gate to observe invisibly.
On the opposite side of the light gate, there is a verdant mountain, and the scenery is quite beautiful.
Okay, this is it.
He made sure that there was no one around, and went in and out from one side of the light gate.
I saw a small town in the distance, surrounded by mountains and mountains, beautiful mountains and rivers, and a good place.
Next to the town, there is also a large white letter "Machu Picchu" against the backdrop of the green forest in the foothills.
Seeing these words, Yan Zixiu understood.
It turns out that this is the world-famous city of Machu Picchu in the sky. This is available in middle school geography textbooks. It is a remnant of the Inca Empire's construction in the 15th century and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Yan Zixiu felt that he was coming, and walked happily to the town.
The closer you are to the town, the more people there are.
He asked someone to inquire, and the town in front of him was called Hot Water Town. The name is due to the fact that there are many hot springs.
Since Hot Water Town is the only way to enter Machu Picchu, it is very lively.
There is a sculpture of an eagle spreading its wings on the street, and the shops are lined up with a dazzling array of goods. Tourists are bustling and vendors are shouting non-stop.
Yan Zixiu bought a lot of gadgets and prepared to give them away when he went back. Anyway, he has friends in Hong Kong, and everyone will not be surprised to see these exotic goods.
There were so many people in the town that no one noticed his carry-on bag, and no matter how many things it contained, it couldn't be satisfied.
Those things were naturally put in the Qiankun Ring by him.
The owners of shops basically have one thing in common, as long as you buy something, it is much easier to ask for information.
So after he made a big purchase, the bosses told him with smiles that it was 6 kilometers from Machu Picchu and that it would take 2 hours to hike up the mountain from the Inca Trail. If you're in a hurry, it's best to take a sightseeing bus.
Yan Zixiu looked at the time, it was already around twelve o'clock in the afternoon, so he decided to take the car.
He bought a ticket for the sightseeing bus and got on the bus.
There were already more than 20 people on the bus, the most conspicuous of which were a dozen or so tourists who looked like college students, led by a man about 50 years old.
And Yan Zixiu was the only Asian on the bus.
The passengers looked at him with curiosity.
The man in the lead, with gray hair and a kind appearance, took the initiative to greet him: "Hello, young man. Where are you from? What do you call it? β
The men speak Portuguese.
Yan Zixiu's interpretation technique has already begun: "Hello, my name is Yan Ziling, and I am from Huaxia. Who are you? β
"Yan, you speak Portuguese so fluently. Just call me Professor Marshall. β
The two shook hands.
"Professor Marshall, are these your students?"
"Yes. Both are philosophy majors at the University of SΓ£o Paulo. Professor Marshall replied.
Yan Zixiu greeted the passengers with a smile: "Hello everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
"Hello Mr. Yan." University students and some passengers responded enthusiastically.
The sightseeing bus started.
The road is lined with steep cliffs, clouds and mist, dense forests, and strong currents.
As you pass through the zigzag-shaped slopes, you can occasionally see cute alpacas.
In less than half an hour, they arrived at the gate of Machu Picchu and got off at the small hilltop square.
At 2,430 metres above sea level, it offers sweeping views of the Andes forests, snow-capped peaks, clouds and the rushing Urubamba River.
Professor Marshall introduced to the students as he walked, and also told Yan Zixiu: "The Inca civilization, the Mayan civilization, and the Aztec civilization are known as the three ancient Indian civilizations, and they are the ancient Indian civilizations from south to north in the Americas. Machu Picchu is an iconic relic of the Inca civilization β a natural and cultural heritage of the world. β
"You see, this is the most difficult place in the Andes to pass, with a narrow ridge between two steep peaks. At the bottom of the mountain is a deep valley surrounded by the Urubamba River, surrounded by mountains and mountains. It can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is an excellent military fortress. β
Yan Zixiu observed carefully, and sure enough, it was a sky city embedded in the cliff of the Andes.
A very sunny-looking female student asked, "Professor, what does Machu Picchu mean?" β
"Diana, Machu Picchu means ancient mountain top in Quechua." Professor Marshall replied, "I've not been here once or twice. Every time I come here, I am reminded of the poems of the Chilean poet Pablo. β
In a different tone, he recited: "'I saw ancient buildings of stone, embedded in the verdant Andean peaks. The rapids rush down from the castle that has been eroded by wind and rain for hundreds of years...... In this rugged heights, in this glorious ruins, I found the principles and beliefs necessary to continue the psalm. ββ
These poems are not only beautiful, but also full of deep feelings, and Yan Zixiu was slightly moved when he heard them.
"Let's move on." Professor Marshall is a good tour guide.
They followed him upwards and looked down on the majestic city built with huge granite buildings from a high vantage point.
Moss covers the surface of the stones, telling people of a long history.
"You see, this rock wall is majestic, and it has the reputation of the Great Wall of Peru. Everyone knows the Great Wall of China. We have one here. Professor Marshall is proud, "Beyond this fence is an agricultural area, with two large terraced fields. Within the walls is the city. The city is divided into three parts: the sacred district, the priestly and noble district, and the commoner southern district. β
"It's really well organized." Yan Zixiu sincerely appreciated.
