Chapter 109 Suicide at the Top of the Snow Mountain
If I let the middle-aged man go, he may not be able to die well.
No one who steps into the world can escape unscathed, just like a piece of white cloth falling into a dye vat, the consequences are irreversible.
"Let's go, tonight's thing is over, none of us have seen each other, so let's do it!" In front of the middle-aged man, I was also very helpless. For a person trapped in a time trap, there is no life or death.
the difference.
"I wish you good luck. There used to be many people who came to the Snowy Mountains with full confidence, trying to solve the problems of the century, become famous in one fell swoop, and become the spiritual leaders of mankind. But in the end, they used their bodies to fill the ravines and turned into mountains of bones. That's it.
..." The middle-aged man staggered away and walked to the tent on the other side, quickly disappearing into the night of the snow-capped mountains.
I sat on the big rock for a long time, thinking hard about what the middle-aged man said.
He has put forward many secret clues, but he only talked about the superficial phenomena without clarifying the logic behind it. It was like he was trapped in the snowy mountains and Qin Chengpei was trapped in the big tree. These are all realities. How did it happen? So
There are no answers.
The night in the snowy mountains is freezing and biting, but it is more helpful for thinking about problems.
I have thought about it for a long time, and it is actually very clear that even if I climb to the top tomorrow, I will not gain anything. Apart from the rugged rocks, there is only white snow on the top and bottom of the Snow Mountain. It is the best place to commit suicide. You can die here in the world.
No one knows whether the body fell into the cliff or was hidden under the ice and snow, forever separated from the world.
I think of those who lost their lives in avalanches. This is probably the cruelest way to die in the world. They were covered by white snow and finally turned into stiff specimens. After a few years, they were excavated by people of the next century and they might become
Study the best cases of this era.
Lao Zhang walked out of the tent, staggered to my side, rubbed his eyes, and muttered: "I couldn't find you until midnight, so I knew you must have something on your mind. Anyone who goes to the Snowy Mountains and sees the sky full of stars will be fascinated.
, so every time those practitioners come to Jiedong, they feel that their practice has improved to a higher level, but they can't tell exactly which part has increased, and it will always be a mystery."
I didn't say anything about the middle-aged man's assassination. I just looked at Lao Zhang and thanked him sincerely: "Without you, I wouldn't have been able to reach the top. Thank you very much."
Although I wrote them a check, I am still grateful for their meticulous protection of me. People change people's hearts. Only in this way can I go further in the world.
Lao Zhang shook his head in embarrassment: "We are Jianghu people, we only do things for the sake of money, even when we face Mr. Marin. Mr. Ye, I know you are a smart man, why do you have to be like those stupid people?
Only by climbing to the top of the mountain and then turning back can we really think about those issues? If we stay at Dulong Bingzhu Temple, is it easier to save energy, ensure safety, and finally solve the puzzle? "
I asked him back: "Lao Zhang, you have seen many people. Whether they stayed in the temple or climbed to the top, did they solve the problem in the end? As you said, whether you climbed to the top or not has nothing to do with solving the problem, but it can open up some people's minds.
It gives them a deeper understanding of the world. I obviously belong to this kind of person, so I will climb to the top no matter how dangerous it is, without any negotiation."
Lao Zhang scratched the back of his head and nodded with a smile: "Of course, you have paid, we must serve you and accompany you to the top."
While we were talking, there was light in the tent opposite, and those people got up in the middle of the night, packed up their tents, and climbed directly to the top of the mountain.
Lao Zhang laughed: "It is not easy to see the sunrise at the top of the Snowy Mountains. These people think that they can wait for the sunrise by going up at this time. They are really stupid."
After they left, I walked to the place where they camped. There was a screw embedded in the rock, and the pattern on it caught my attention.
It was a special mark, and the content of the mark was three sharp knives stabbing a heart.
I was shocked. This is the symbol of a famous metaphysics sect. Many of them are world-class super wise men. However, the people who join this sect are all depressed patients who have lost confidence in the future, so they pursue
The only thing is to liberate yourself.
I turned back to greet Lao Zhang: "These people are likely to hurt themselves on the top of the mountain. Let's go up quickly to stop them."
Lao Zhang was a little puzzled. When I explained clearly, he shook his head indifferently: "That is their freedom. No one can stop it. Mr. Ye, even if you stop them this time, they will have another time, so don't waste your efforts.
In the Snowy Mountains, no one cares about other people's affairs, so as not to drag themselves into it. The task of the few of us is to accompany you to the top and then return to the temple, that's it. As for the life and death of other people, it has nothing to do with us."
His indifference made me feel very disappointed. Humans must cherish their companions. Otherwise, what is the difference between them and animals?
My attitude of not caring about Lao Zhang woke everyone up and asked them to pack their bags and follow them up the mountain immediately. Even if we only save one of them, it is our achievement.
No one expected such a change in things, so when we started on the road, two of us were still half asleep and half awake. We could only put our hands on the shoulders of our companions and stumble forward.
After walking upward for more than an hour, they found their discarded items left on the snow, including alpine winter clothing.
If you take off that kind of coat in a place like this, you will probably freeze to death before reaching the top of the mountain. This further shows that this group of people came to the Snowy Mountains with no intention of returning alive.
The middle-aged man who assassinated me must be among them. He is tired of life. It makes no difference to him whether he kills others or is killed by others.
We continued upward until we reached the large platform at the top.
Mountaineering enthusiasts all over the world know that this platform with a radius of one kilometer is the only flat area on the snow-capped mountains. Alpine helicopters will land here when rescuing people, so the platform can also play a rescue role.
The uncanny workmanship of nature has left a channel for human survival.
All we can say is that no matter how humans struggle, they are all under the control of nature.
We didn't find that group of people, only about a dozen people's footprints were left on the snow on the edge of the cliff. From the analysis of the scene, they had already rushed down and completed their short lives.
I sighed very much. If we had seen the original intention of this people earlier, maybe we could have saved their lives and allowed them to return safely.
Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but we missed it.
Standing at the top, I observed Dulong Bingzhu Temple through the telescope. Perhaps there were countless people like me who looked down at the mountain. They suddenly felt that the world was insignificant and not worth it. They worked hard for the word "fame and wealth" and finally had no time to enjoy it, so they handed their lives back to God.
, Human beings are like ants, busy but unable to change the world, let alone their own hearts.
Looking back on what I have done in the past, I suddenly felt that Qin Chengpei had gone astray on the road to immortality. If he was given another chance, he might have had an epiphany and would no longer pursue the road to immortality indiscriminately, but would instead become a
Ordinary people, live a good life, treat yourself well, and eventually have a satisfactory life.
"Look there, they left some words, it should be ancient Sanskrit. Mr. Ye, come over quickly and take a photo of these words. Otherwise, when the sun rises, the ice and snow melt, the words will no longer exist..." Lao Zhang shouted,
Run towards the rock wall to the northwest.
Now, someone did leave writing on it, which contains more than 300 characters. It belongs to a relatively biased ancient Sanskrit.
What I mean by translating those words is that they feel that living in the world is painful, and death is a way of relief provided by nature. They leave this world and enter reincarnation. When they come back again, they will have a new life, without pain, only happiness.
, I hope everyone who cares about them can rest assured that they are not seeking death, but looking for a new life.
Faced with these words, I felt very sad. All those who have taken advantage of others think that they are pursuing a bright road, but many people understand that they are walking into darkness, and it is a pity to exile themselves.
Lao Zhang took pictures continuously with his camera and recorded the words completely.
Just behind us, the sun jumped out of the sea of clouds and shined directly on the top of the Snowy Mountains. The ice and snow on the stone wall where the writing was located melted rapidly. In only twenty minutes, all the writing disappeared.
Those who committed suicide left the words behind, of course they wanted to tell the world that they were sure that we would follow and left the words here. If we missed it, no one would remember that twelve people once became the undead in the snowy mountains.
I contacted Marin using a satellite phone and told him that I would reach the top of the mountain by myself as planned, but found nothing.
Surprisingly, he knew about the twelve people jumping off the cliff.
It turns out that he used the headquarters' original space communication code to connect with the communication satellite through a secret channel. The satellite passed over the snowy mountains and took high-definition photos, so that he could see us people.
"Ye Kai, don't worry about those suicides. They are willing to end their lives. That is freedom. Spend another night on the top of the Snowy Mountains and see if there are any other changes. The mountains and rivers are all chess games. From your position to the south
Look, is this a game between two people?"
I looked down to the south as he said. The top of the mountain is white and the valley is black. The white snow wraps the rocks on the top of the mountain, but it cannot cover up the trough walls that go straight up and down, so it forms a complicated situation.
It's a pity that I didn't stand high enough to have a panoramic view of the mountains, especially the mountains and valleys in the distance. They were blocked by the nearby scenery and couldn't see anything.
"Ye Kai, release your aerial camera and let Lao Zhang do his best to take a clear picture. We must get first-hand information. It is said that some mysterious departments have aimed super missiles at the top of the snowy mountains and will cause a huge avalanche at any time.
Be careful, climbers become pioneers and martyrs. As a bait, you must hold on there firmly to see if you can trigger other subtle changes?"
Marin's words are very hurtful. If I stay here, my life will be in danger at any time. The avalanche of nature and the missiles of the Jianghu forces may break me to pieces.
