The forest has reached the edge, and is surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains. Looking at the mountains will kill a horse, let alone a human being.
Tari and Gao Ge were the first to see several shiny corpses on the ice under the snow-capped mountains. They were frozen into the ice. They looked very clear. Although the distance seemed to be only a dozen meters, the real distance was still there.
It took nearly half an hour to get there.
Lao Meng's physical strength was exhausted again, and when he arrived at the place, he threw himself on the ground to rest.
This place is located deep in the snow-capped mountains, surrounded by white-capped snow-capped mountains. There are no roads at all, and there are many mountains and ravines. It is not unusual to die in this place. The white snow-capped mountains are like a huge white monster, which will swallow more people.
Much life.
After walking closer, I found that the shiny corpses were foreigners with yellow hair, probably the people Tari had mentioned before.
Seeing this, Feng Yu really admired the adventurous spirit of these Westerners. Even so, the latecomers had no idea of backing down.
Bai Ran checked the death posture of the corpse and said: "They were trapped here and froze to death. You can see their movements, they are all close to each other. They must have experienced the heavy snowstorm before.
They wanted to make repairs and start over again, but the temperature dropped sharply, and they froze to death here due to physical and mental exhaustion after resting."
Sometimes, in places that are too cold, death and sleep are the same. It takes a few seconds for a person to fall asleep in such an environment, and it also only takes a few seconds to die.
Gao Ge said calmly: "They are lucky. Most of the corpses will be buried deepest by snow mountain activities after freezing to death. The corpses will be buried at the bottom of the snow layer and no one will ever find them."
Ta Ri looked around among these foreigners. There were four of them, and there were no faces familiar to Ta Ri. Ta Ri thought for a moment and said to a few people: "It is very likely that they did not come from Moshi. Those who set out from Moshi
Among foreigners, I have seen nine of them, and their faces are so strange."
Zhang Xiuxian took a closer look and saw that the body was well preserved by the ice, with no sign of decay. "The Tibetan area is so big. It's normal for people to come in through Moshi. Are they allowed to come in from other places?"
Ta Ri explained: “The most accessible and convenient way to pass through no-man’s land is Moshi. From ancient times to the present, there have been only a few routes, and generations of people remember them clearly. Without someone who is familiar with the route to lead them, it is difficult to enter the no-man’s land.
They are looking for death, so they must have a guide, but they did not come in through Moshi, which is very strange."
When Zhang Xiuxian heard this, he immediately analyzed, "Hey, I don't think this is strange at all. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. These foreigners are unfamiliar with the place. They met a guide with evil intentions and tricked people into coming in."
, took the money and ran away."
Gao Ge agreed with this statement, "It's just that the guide thought that these foreigners would retreat in spite of the difficulties, but who knew they would still want to
Come in and die."
Indeed, at that time, foreign things were very good, and many Tibetans would exchange supplies with foreigners for some things. It was not unusual for foreigners to die in a place like this.
The Qing government at that time had too much time to take care of itself. If foreigners were killed, no one would come down to investigate.
The corpses and the ice were frozen together. It didn't make much sense to dig through them to see what they were carrying. The ice was very thick and the movement of cutting through was too loud, causing an avalanche.
Everyone repaired on the spot, Ta Ri paid close attention to the movement of clouds in the sky, and Chen Shanhai discovered something under a black protruding rock nearby.
It looked like the packages left behind by these foreigners, or perhaps blown here by the heavy snowstorm at that time.
It was tightly wrapped and contained two things. One was a notebook, densely filled with foreign writing. The other was a round black iron stone. The patterns on it had been worn away so that they could not be seen clearly, but there was a line of Tibetan text on it,
Gao Ge felt very confused after reading it. He knew Tibetan, and this line roughly meant "rebirth at the end."
If translated into Chinese, it means rebirth after death, or nirvana.
This black iron stone attracted everyone's attention. The material was indeed black pig iron, and it should be an old object. But what did this mean? How could these foreigners have this thing? Could it be that they died on the way back, and
Not on the way there?
Chen Shanhai and Bai Ran were also puzzled. Chen Shanhai drew the black iron stone and recalled while drawing: "I have seen similar iron stone in a religious temple in Tibetan area before. It was an ancient temple in Tibetan area."
The cult now has no followers, and the religious temples have been abandoned. Countless people were buried with the cult back then. The name of the cult can no longer be found, but there are many portraits of King Baosheng painted on the walls of the remaining temples.
King Baosheng is a worshiper of the abyss, and the statues in the temple are also of him."
Gao Ge asked: "King Baosheng? The King Baosheng who fell into the abyss and became the devil of the abyss?"
Chen Shanhai nodded and put the drawn pattern into a scroll. He told everyone: "This iron stone is very similar to the accessories on the statue of King Baosheng. I have only seen King Baosheng once, and I am not sure whether it is the same."
In that case, King Baosheng was classified as a cult by the Tibetans because it pursues death. There must be some story behind the possession of these foreigners."
Feng Yu felt that Chen Shanhai was right. Just when he was about to say something to Chen Shanhai, he heard Ta Ri hurriedly urging everyone.
"No, the clouds have started to move. We have to pack up and set off quickly."
Everyone stopped talking, picked up their things and walked out. The forest seemed to have reached the end, and behind it was a vast stretch of snow-capped mountains.
At this time, the sky is getting late, the twilight is vast, and extremely rare sights appear in the snowy mountains.
The green light, Ta Ri said, was due to the friction of air pressure. The thick clouds on the clouds collided violently with the air pressure. The green light reflected the green sky, making it feel like being outside the world.
There are many religions in Tibet for a reason. Mountains, lakes, and unparalleled wonders make people have special feelings and thank God for everything he has given to all living beings in the world.
Under the leadership of Ta Ri and Gao Ge, the atmospheric pressure behind them has been chasing them. Fortunately, they did not encounter the baptism of wind and snow again. This is thanks to the two leading the way. Without a familiar guide, it is conceivable that
What would be the situation in the vast snow-capped mountains? Are those foreigners brave or idiots?
The sky is like a long cut, with stars shining brightly. Walking on the snowy mountain is actually much more difficult than Feng Yu imagined. After walking through it, a line of footprints are left on the snow. The farthest one is at the other end of the mountain.
.
Soon, Bai Ran and Chen Shanhai found their way among the snow-capped mountains. They found the stone bridge entering the Qiuhai of Wangchuan River after walking through several hills.
The stone bridge is buried under the snow and is made of black rocks. If they didn't know that such a thing existed, who would be searching under the snow.
The stone bridge is not obvious, but as long as you keep stepping on it, you can still walk in its direction.
Bai Ran suggested that everyone repair it in place tonight. The road to the stone bridge is very long and it will not be possible to reach the end in a while.
Blind Li once said that when he entered the Qiuhai of Wangchuan River, he discovered the stone bridge by accident. It took him several days to walk to the end. The same was true for Bai Ran and the others. Looking at the black stone bridge in front of them, Feng Yu still felt
Feel the distance between legend and reality.
Everyone felt very tired that night, no one said anything, and went to bed early after replenishing food and water.
In the next few days, they kept walking along the stone bridge under the snow. Lao Meng seemed to be a lot more energetic. He was probably about to see the place he dreamed of, so he didn't feel tired no matter how tired he was. It seemed that the money was really good sometimes.
You can hang your life.
Tari and Gao Ge had never seen such a scene before. The length of the stone bridge had exceeded people's expectations. They had been dealing with snowy mountains all their lives, and they never imagined that one day they would see such a bridge.
The stone bridge was so long that Feng Yu even thought that they were attracted by the stone bridge and kept wandering in the snow-capped mountains. However, the two guides did not say anything. The size of the snow-capped mountains in Tibet was unimaginable. Even if the stone bridge was
A straight line is also reasonable.
When everyone was walking on the stone bridge and their scalps were numb, at the end of the bridge, behind a slate rock, a lake appeared as quiet as a devil.
The lake is located in a low depression, and the nearby rock layers are severely corroded. The entire lake suddenly sinks underground. The white-flowered eroded rocks are particularly conspicuous, and have been eroded for at least hundreds of thousands of years.
This is what Chen Shanhai calls the Forgotten River and Autumn Sea, a religious holy land and a place of reincarnation.
