At noon the next day, the train arrived at Lhasa, the final destination of the trip.

Wu Ming and Duyu walked out of the station with their bags on their backs, and were greeted by the cold air, the blue sky, the mountains and the magnificent palaces in the distance, and the passers-by strolling by with prayer wheels.

When Wu Ming was on the train, he had already contacted the tour guide through WeChat, and not long after walking out of the station, the two sides successfully met in Palace Square.

The tour guide was a local boy in his twenties named Dorjee, which means King Kong in Tibetan.

"It's noon today, so I suggest you take a look at the city of Lhasa first, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning, and we can get to that snow-capped mountain in two days. "Dorjee has been a tour guide for a long time and is very fluent in Chinese.

Twilight frowned, "Can't you leave right now?"

Dorjee smiled and shook his head: "No, you can't get to the rest point until the middle of the night when you set off now, and it's very dangerous to drive at night on the plateau." ”

Twilight only nodded, no longer insisting.

Dorjee took out two tickets from his arms: "It's still early, do you want to visit the palace, half price?"

Wu Ming said on the side: "No need, just follow the agreed itinerary and don't add other self-paid items." ”

The local life is pure, and the disappointment on Dorjee's face is fully revealed: "Okay, then pay half of the deposit first as agreed." ”

Wu Ming nodded, and turned to Twilight: "Pay the money." ”

Twilight Yu took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Dorjee, who took it and counted it, and nodded with satisfaction: "You people under the mountain, the money is handed over to women for safekeeping, it's really a good habit!"

Wu Ming smiled awkwardly and didn't explain too much.

"Now that you're in Lhasa, at least take a photo here in Palace Square. "Dorjee is like a trickster, and he pulls out a crash camera from nowhere.

Wu Ming and Twilight Yu looked embarrassed, and couldn't help Dorjee keep persuading, and the two of them only stood in the square with their bags on their backs and let Dorjee take pictures.

"Come closer!" Dorjee squatted and pressed the shutter, clicking, and a picture was spat out from the camera.

Dorjee happily handed the photo to Wu Ming: "Thank you for your patronage, twenty yuan." ”

"I want money again!" Wu Ming took the photo and looked depressed: "Didn't you say don't add self-paid items!"

Dorjee's expression was straight: "This is not a self-funded project, this is a commemoration, a commemoration!"

Wu Ming nodded helplessly, and handed the photo to Twilight: "Pay the money." ”

"Why should I pay it? Dusk Yu glanced at Wu Ming coldly: "The photo is in your hand, you hand it over." ”

Wu Ming shook off the photo in his hand, reluctantly took out twenty yuan from his wallet, and reluctantly handed it over to Dorjee.

After Dorjee took the money, he folded his hands and gave a salute to Wu Ming and Duyu: "This is the holy land, the closest place to the sky, and this photo will become your precious memory." ”

Wu Ming snorted, not wanting to dwell more on the photo: "Mr. guide, we still need to purchase some food and tools to climb the snowy mountain, can you take us there." ”

"No problem!" Dorjee patted his chest and replied crisply.

The three of them were about to set off, when Wu Ming suddenly remembered something: "By the way, you wait for me first, I'll send a postcard." ”

After saying that, he ran to the side of the post office.

Dorjee frowned and leaned over to Duyu: "Why didn't your man accompany you after he arrived in Lhasa, and was busy sending postcards to others, this is not good!"

"He's not my man. Twilight pouted, "It's mine...... Retinue. ”

Wu Ming finished writing the postcard, sent it to the address given by Pang Xiaoyan, and then came out to meet Duyu Dorjee.

Dorjee took the two of them to the largest local market, where Wu Ming spent the afternoon shopping and bought some barley flour cakes and yak jerky as food reserves, as well as two pairs of snow boots with hooks.

Wu Ming didn't buy other climbing tools, the first was that it was too expensive, and the second was that he thought to himself that with his physical ability, it was not too difficult to climb the snowy mountain.

At Dorjee's suggestion, Wu Ming also bought some medicine to deal with altitude sickness, just in case.

"You really don't want to take a look here in Lhasa?" Dorjee was still a little unwilling: "I can hardly make any money on this trip! Originally, after you, a foreigner came to me, and he was going to Karma Snow Mountain, and the price was half higher than yours, so I didn't take his order for the sake of keeping my promise." ”

Wu Ming patted Dorjee on the shoulder: "You are really a trustworthy person! Don't worry, when the trip is successfully completed, we will tip you more!"

Twilight Yu leaned over to Wu Ming's side and lowered her voice: "Even the money for the ticket back is almost insufficient, where is the money to tip." ”

Wu Ming suddenly didn't dare to mention the tip again, and changed the subject: "Dorjee, how many tourists are we going to Karma Snow Mountain?"

Dorjee shook his head: "Only some local medicine collectors occasionally climb that mountain, and I have never seen tourists from other places climb this mountain, I didn't expect that I would encounter two batches at once." ”

Wu Ming laughed: "It seems that we have travel companions, and we knew that we could save some money by forming a group with that foreigner." ”

After purchasing, Wu Ming and Twilight Yu found a youth hostel to live in, and Dorjee took them to drink butter tea, but the taste of butter tea was too mellow, Wu Ming was defeated after a few sips, and Twilight Yu took a sip and never touched it again.

"You can't do this!" Dorjee stretched out his fists and patted his chest: "Weather, cold! Drink more, be strong!"

Wu Ming could only endure and continue to drink, and after a few more sips, his mouth adapted to the strong taste stimulation, and sure enough, he could feel a warm current rising in his stomach.

"It's really good!" Wu Ming picked up a cup of butter tea and handed it to Twilight: "You can drink some more, it feels good." ”

Twilight shook her head, feeling a little less uplifted, "No, I'm a little tired, let's go back and rest early." ”

"That's the case for people who are new to the plateau. Dorjee picked up a piece of barley cake and said while chewing, "Just get some sleep." ”

......

When she woke up the next morning, Twilight Rain's spirit was still not very good, and she didn't eat much breakfast, Wu Ming was a little worried about her body, but Twilight still insisted on setting off normally.

The three of them set off from Lhasa on a cross-country jeep in Dorjee, and after a two-day journey, they arrived at the final destination of the trip, the Karma Snow Mountain.

At the beginning, it was a local medicine picker who found the frozen Ying Long from this snow-capped mountain, and then sold it to Howen Group, and then a series of follow-up events occurred.

The purpose of Du Yu and Wu Ming's trip was to find the source of Ying Long, the Book of Mountains and Seas, and the traces of the holder of the Book of Mountains and Seas, the Human Emperor Fuxi.

"That's it ahead!"

As the jeep drove along the rugged mountain road, Dorjee held the steering wheel with one hand and pointed to an isolated snow-capped mountain in front of him with the other: "This is the snow-capped mountain you are going to, and our ancestors gave it the name Karma, which means - the place where the stars fall." ”
