Everyone was stunned for a moment, but no one said anything. I think they must be full of doubts, but they still did as I said. But they could hold it back, but some people couldn't hold it back, the fat man and the monkey.
He ran over in a hurry. "Hutou, you are not mistaken. These footprints are facing east, which is exactly opposite to where we are going. Could it be that you are planning to go back?"
"Don't worry, you all. Follow these footprints and we will be safer. Don't ask. You will understand everything in an hour."
The situation was exactly as I expected. The footprints turned directly into a low-lying mountain col, and then made a big turn, from the original southeast direction to heading due west. Seeing this situation, I finally felt relieved.
Laughed.
The old lama was very smart. He did not leave for the first two days after arriving here. Instead, he waited until it snowed heavily before leaving, just to leave traces to prove that he was walking in the other direction. But he did not know,
I have already seen the opportunity, and no matter how cunning and clever he is, he still can't get rid of us.
"Who is this old lama? Why does he want to go in this direction without telling us? Since he is going in the same direction as us, why doesn't he go with us?" The fat man asked doubtfully, obviously he also felt that something was different.
Normally, the old lama must have purposefully left us alone, but why did he do this?
As for the reason, I already knew it in my mind. Since the old lama has left, it doesn't hurt to tell them now. "Do you know why I had to choose that route?" I said. Such a sentence is enough.
They should be able to guess what the problem is.
"You mean, it's for that old lama?"
"Is Wudaoliang your first destination? Is it to lure that old guy out of the urn?"
"I think your old guy must have a very special identity. I can hear his Beijing accent, Mr. Gua. Could it be that he was from Beijing before?"
"Hutou, you are really tight-lipped. You kept us all a secret. Tell me, who is that old guy?"
Listening to their busy discussions and the curious looks on their faces, I naturally felt a sense of satisfaction in my heart. I had set up this game, and it succeeded in the end. It was indeed a good feeling. Sorted out
After a few words, I said: "You guessed right, that old lama is not from here at all. He came here only fifty years ago. Before that, he was from Beijing. At that time, his name was Yang Chuanwu, and his father's name was Yang Chuanwu.
Yang Wenwu.”
"Well, the Yang Wenwu you are talking about is not the Yang Wenwu who once touched Kinmen, right?" The fat man swallowed his saliva and asked.
"No need to guess, it's him. Yang Wenwu has two sons, each named after one of his own characters. His eldest son is called Yang Chuanwen, his second son is called Yang Chuanwu, and the old lama is Yang Wenwu's second son.
.”
"It's really him, but I don't understand, Mr. Gua. Since Yang Chuanwu is Yang Wenwu's son, how could he go to such a remote place to become a lama? Isn't this just a matter of not enjoying the wealth that is already available?
Are you abusing yourself?"
"Of course there is a reason for him to do this. Perhaps as he said, he has been here to atone for his sins, torturing himself all day long just for peace of mind to make up for the heinous crimes he committed back then."
The fat man and the monkey looked at each other, obviously not understanding what I meant. In fact, I didn’t know anything about it before. This is also a secret I only learned after I went to Beijing for the last time. People who know this secret
, I’m afraid I can count them all on one hand now.
"Okay, you don't need to know the reason for this now. We will have a chance to meet Yang Chuanwu again. Then maybe he will tell us all the truth personally, and maybe he will know more and more comprehensively than I do."
We then walked west along the route of the old lama. The old lama seemed to be very fast. We were running at full power, but after walking for a long time, we still didn't see his shadow.
The sun has already risen high, the temperature has risen, and the snow on the ground has melted quickly. By the time we had lunch, the surroundings had returned to a desert look, and there was not much snow left.
I couldn't help but frown. The snow was melting much faster than I thought. There weren't many geographical signs in this desert. Coupled with the dead grass on the ground, the traces of the old lama's walking had become very...
Blurred.
The team began to speed up, but the situation was much better than we had imagined. Towards evening, we saw a big river. I checked the map specifically and found that the closest to Kunlun Spring was the Kunlun River. At this time we saw
The big river we arrived should be the Kunlun River. In fact, Kunlun Spring is not far from the Kunlun River, but because the route we walked is a curve, it took us so long to see the Kunlun River. According to my guess, it is already far away from the Black Sea.
Not too far.
At nightfall, we set up tents. The dew here was very heavy and the night air was cold, so it was not suitable for traveling. When I saw the Kunlun River, I already had an idea in my mind. I think Yang Chuanwu’s destination must be this Kunlun River.
The Black Sea at the end, with our goal clear, we don't have to rush in such a hurry.
The walk was not difficult. In the evening of the second day, we finally arrived at the Black Sea. But the first thing that caught our eyes was not the beautiful lake with pleasant scenery, but the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
It is the father of icebergs: Muztagh Peak, and the photo of the old man is a snowy peak behind Muztagh Peak that is not too eye-catching.
The Black Sea, also known as the legendary "Jade Pool" of Queen Mother of the West, is, of course, just one of them. Just like Tianchi in the Tianshan Mountains, it is also one of the Queen Mother of the West. The largest pool of the Queen Mother of the West is Qinghai Lake. It can be called a Jade Pool.
, the scenery here is naturally very beautiful. As soon as we came into contact with it, we saw the sound of flocks of rare birds flying in the sky and on the lake. You can also see some animals on the grass not far from the lake, as if this is
Their paradise.
The Black Sea in the twilight is even more beautiful. In the reflection of the sunset, the lake seems to be colored with colorful colors, which complements the colorful clouds in the sky, making people feel relaxed and happy after watching it.
"So is this the legendary Yaochi? The scenery is very nice, but it's still far from the Yaochi I imagined." The fat man said with disdain, but his eyes were full of admiration.
