The temperature in the plains was even colder at night than during the day. After the five people soaked their feet in hot water from Yeshe Tsering, they wrapped themselves in blankets and got in early: it was already too late to go up the mountain.
In Tibet, the sun sets later than in other places, and it doesn't get completely dark until around seven or eight o'clock.
Everything was silent outside the tent, except for the howling of the wind and snow and the crisp sound of the vegetation being blown hard. Everything was eerily quiet.
"call--"
"call--"
There was a blizzard outside and people were snoring inside the tent, which was very reassuring.
"簌簌——"
The quilt closest to the corner shook, and a figure sat up and gently patted the person next to him, "Big dog, big dog, I have to pee - can you come with me?"
"How old are you? Go by yourself - I -" The big dog muttered twice, complained dissatisfiedly, turned over and continued to sleep, obviously having no intention of accompanying him out.
Ergou listened for a while with lingering fear. The wind and snow were raging outside, so he wrapped himself in a blanket and tiptoed out, expecting that there would be nothing else.
The north wind blows and the white grass breaks on the ground, and the sky is full of snow in August.
"Shh-"
There was a rustling sound of undressing not far outside the tent, and soon there was the sound of running water. The sound lasted for about half a minute, but the sound of running water stopped suddenly, as if someone had cut off the clothes.
Ergou, who was wearing a blanket, was so frightened that he peed his pants, panicked, and without even putting on his pants, he got into the cup like crazy and shivered.
"I didn't see it, I didn't see anything."
"I do not see it--"
"Please, I don't have anything-"
…………
Whether the movement was big or small, at least the big dog closest to him was awakened.
"Two dogs? Two dogs?"
He stretched out his hand and shook the two dogs, who were huddled up and hiding under the quilt. However, the two dogs seemed to be possessed by a demon and kept mumbling to themselves. The voices behind them became smaller and smaller. The big dog looked at him sleepily for a while.
, in the end sleepiness overcame curiosity, and I yawned and fell asleep.
The Iron King's calm eyes glanced this way, and finally he slowly closed his eyelids.
Outside the tent, a full moon wrapped in wind and snow hung low on the night sky, and the howl of the wind and snow was like a woman's scream.
On a barren hillside, the moonlight shines through the cracks in the wind and snow, and I see the figure of something, a face like a human baby, with a circle of white hair, limbs lying on the ground, eyes radiating
It emitted a vicious light, and at this moment it stared fiercely at the water stains on the front side of the tent, and let out a low roar——
This puddle of water was none other than the urge to urinate that the two dogs just had no time to fully release.
The pair of eyes that reflected blood-red light even in the dark night seemed to be telepathic through the fabric of the tent, making Ergou, who was already trembling, suddenly startled again, his face turned ashen and he stopped talking.
.
In the darkness, Yeshe Tsering curled his lips, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly.
It was the winter month, and the temperature in the Meili Snow Mountain, which was covered with snow all year round, was expected to drop to zero. However, the group of six people did not expect that even if they put on the Tibetan military coats, they still could not stop the invasion of the body.
chill.
However, having too much clothes would hinder movement. This long journey, I could only travel lightly. Although the wind was blowing coldly, I still managed to make do with it. Even so, I quietly stuffed another blanket into the package.
Meili Snow Mountain looked very calm in the early morning, and it didn't look like there was a snowstorm. When Li Gengfa asked, Yeshe Tsering shook his head uncertainly, "You can't say for sure.
The weather is like a woman's face, it changes at will. You see it's fine now. Maybe there will be a snowstorm just after we go up the mountain. If we take it lightly, we may be buried by snowdrifts."
It was not auspicious to say such words before setting off. King Suo frowned and looked at the leading Tibetan for a while, then looked at Li Gengfa, meaning: Where did you find such a weird thing?
Li Gefa smiled indifferently, turned around and followed behind Yeshe Tsering.
Meili Snow Mountain is the largest snow mountain in China. It has always been prohibited for humans to climb. The main reason why climbing is prohibited is
This is because climbers have been killed on the mountain continuously over the years. It is said that almost no one has been able to actually climb to the top of the mountain so far, especially when hundreds of people have died there one after another.
In the eyes of Tibetans, Meili Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain. They believe that a mountain god is imprisoned on it and cannot be offended at will. Therefore, they have been calling for the closure of climbing routes.
The Tibetan people always have a sense of awe for this snow-capped mountain, mainly because of their religious legends. It is said that during the reign of Songtsen Gampo, Kawagebo was once a demon mountain, and the founder of Tantric Buddhism, Padmasambhava
The master went through all kinds of hardships before he conquered it. It is said that in the hearts of Tibetans, the Kawagebo Mountain God rules everything in nature, so climbers are an offense to it, so this place has become one of the 10 places on earth that humans have not set foot on.
one.
Until now, even King Du Tie didn't know what Li Gengfa was going to do in Meili Snow Mountain, let alone King Suo and his two apprentices.
However, there are rules on the road: the leader who holds the lama has not spoken, so you cannot ask. If you ask, you will be rude. More importantly, Du Xi Tie Wang is determined to make this trip. Although Li Gengfa is
The planner, but the one who really has this invisible authority is Du Tie Wang. He doesn't take the initiative to speak up. Even if King Suo is full of curiosity, he can only keep it in his stomach.
Everyone carried heavy mountaineering equipment, stepped on the snow one by one, and followed Yeshe Tsering up the mountain.
Speaking of which, these were all left by Li Gengfa when he came here last time. It seemed that he had known for a long time that he would definitely come back. However, the number of people he equipped was five, but this time there were six——
The equipment was heavier, King Lock was indeed older, and it couldn't match the heavy weight of Iron King Dual-Assassin, so his disciples had to carry these two bags.
The Duthorn Iron King slipped past the Suo King and said lightly, "Watch that apprentice of yours, there is something wrong with him."
apprentice?
King Suo frowned and turned around to see that Ergou seemed to be at the end intentionally. He looked around as he walked, and occasionally looked back behind him, as if to confirm whether something was following him.
His face was ashen, and his mouth was trembling. Although his breath was foggy, it was obvious that he was shrinking not from the cold, but from fear. He immediately yelled at him angrily, "Bitch, what do you want to do again?"
Are you lazy, hiding behind and refusing to move, are you looking for a beating?"
"It's not master, I didn't-" Ergou opened his mouth to argue, but King Suo suddenly hit him on the head. Although he was wearing a hat made of dog fur and otter fur, it didn't hurt after all, but Ergou was still aggrieved.
He pursed his lips.
"Bitch, you walk next to me and let's see how you slide."
Ergou's face turned gray, and he had no choice but to shrug his head and say "yes".
But even so, he still looked back from time to time, which made King Suo think: Could something have happened?
Yeshe Tsering led the way and rarely spoke. When trekking on a snow-capped mountain that would sink more than ten centimeters after being stepped on, you have to save your energy as much as possible. If you say more than a word, you will easily be out of breath due to altitude sickness.
.
Moreover, this is a snow-capped mountain that is covered with snow all year round. It is very easy to cause an avalanche if there is any loud noise. It is not a big deal if the six of us are still at the foot of the mountain, but this situation will become more serious the further up we go.
The order of the people going up the mountain was led by Yeshe Tsering and Li Gege. After Li Gege, King Suo walked slower because of his limited physical strength and the two apprentices had to take care of the master. However, he still tried his best to keep up with the three of them.
Maintained the pace.
The Solitary Thorn Iron King looked at the back of Li Gengfa struggling to climb the mountain, and the white snow in his eyes turned into a trace of hesitation: There were a total of five people in the package, and they had been prepared before. He could definitely confirm that he would come back and start the journey again.
One thing, but why did Yeshe Tsering seem so shocked when he saw Li's reforms?
Since Li Gengfa left the package and asked Yeshe Tsering to keep it for him, it means that he will definitely come back. As for the money, he must have given it well. Then it is natural for Yeshe Tsering to speculate that Li Gengfa will come back.
, why is it that Yeshe Tsering behaves as if Li Reform will never come back?
What’s even more strange is that since he thought he would never come back, why did he still keep these equipment?
Could it be that there is something more to the relationship between Yeshe Tsering and Li Reform besides money?
Another point is also very concerning: there are five packages in total
, Li Gefa himself said before that when he went back this time, he thought that there were four people in total including himself and King Suo. He didn't understand it before, but after seeing Yeshe Tsering, he understood that among the four
A tour guide is included, but this is also very strange: King Suo's two apprentices are in an emergency, but this is an extra package.
So who should the remaining one be left to?
The King of Locks and the Iron King of Single Thorn are both old and mature, and all the twists and turns in this process must be hammered into the stomach, chewed and swallowed thoroughly, so as not to catch themselves off guard at the critical moment. Years of experience
The bloody lessons learned from the experience of going to the tomb and interpersonal relationships have long been washed away. Those who underestimated the enemy and treated going to the tomb as a child's play have died long ago. Those who can finally leave their names on the road or even become famous are all the leaders among the heroes.
son.
The King of Locks and the King of Iron Thorns, one is good at craftsmanship and can be reused; the other is outstanding with force and the audience is convinced, but he is not a fool who knows nothing else. What are these twists and turns?
I thought about a lot of answers, but the final answer will always be in the hands of Li Reform.
The Meili Snow Mountain is so big that it is unbelievable. From a distance, you can see that it is covered in silver, and the sky and the earth are all white. The reflected sky and earth are only white. After a long time, it makes people's eyes dazzled.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that just when they walked for about half noon and it was approaching afternoon and they were about to find a place to rest and have something to eat, the nonsense that Yeshe Tsering said before going up the mountain...
It's actually starting to come true.
This is not catkins blown by the wind; nor is it the difference of spreading salt in the air; nor is it the poetic and picturesque feeling of flying snow like poplar flowers. At first, the snowflakes were just three or two falling on the tip of people's nose like raindrops, and then they began to
They were clustered in clusters, like velvet flowers in March, rubbing against people's cheeks. In the end, it was nothing. I just rubbed them. I couldn't get in. I just looked at what I didn't want to buy.
—
"Guh-"
The wind and snow between the sky and the earth suddenly seemed like a car swept up into the sky by a tornado. The goddess scattered countless ice particles in the shape of flowers and hit your head, making your head buzz.
I just accidentally got distracted and it actually affected me to drive a Lamborghini? What a bad luck.
It seems that in the future, not only can I not be distracted, but I can't even drive the Lamborghini.
The shrimp catcher let out a sigh, and the water in his head also flowed out.
"No, we can't leave in this kind of weather. We have to find a place to take shelter."
Yeshe Tsering stopped resolutely, and everyone found a pit between two rocks on the mountainside, which could accommodate more than ten people. Their eyes immediately lit up, and they all filed in.
"Well--"
Just when they got in, the wind and snow outside were raging, and suddenly it started to look like God pouring water on the clouds. Bucket after bucket, the wind and snow were so raging that they could hardly even open their eyes, and the falling water
There is no gap between the snow dumplings. At this time, as long as you stand in the wind and snow for a minute or two, you will be buried in an instant.
The footprints left by the people walking just now were just a gust of wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
This is the storm in Meili Snow Mountain, which is far more severe than the wind and snow anywhere in the world.
A faint stench came from Li Gengfa's nose: How could this smell like animal feces?
"ah!!!"
Everyone looked at the boundless wind and snow, wondering when they would be able to get out, and frowned in depression. But at this moment, the two dogs who were the first to get into the hole let out a scream. Everyone looked at the sound, but they saw
Ergou held his head in both hands with a pale face, huddled in the corner and shivered. There was a pool of wetness on the ground, and he was obviously scared to pee.
"Bitch, what's wrong with you?"
King Suo had discovered something was wrong with Ergou very early on, but now Ergou was huddled up in a ball, still unable to understand.
"Master, master!!"
Ergou pounced, grabbed the corner of King Suo's clothes, and looked around shiveringly, eyes rolling around, trembling, "I saw it, I saw it!!
"
"What did you see?"
Ergou pointed at the raging frost and snow outside the cave, which was like black clouds turning ink. The frost and snow were so dense that there was no gap between the sky and the earth. Ergou was frightened, "I just saw it here!"
