Chapter Six Hundred and Seventy-First Boiling Mountain
Chapter 671 The Boiling Mountain
Even the local residents, the local guides, disapprove of the legends of the sacred mountain and the gods.
They rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rely on the gods and legends of the sacred mountains to do business and make a living.
They rely on selling souvenirs and compiling stories related to gods, providing convenience and mystery for tourists.
Like the aborigines of all other tourist attractions, they slowly became rich with the help of legends of the gods.
But even the residents closest to the mountain do not really believe in gods in their concepts and thoughts. The rumor that Joey, the mountain guide, had seen the gods, was regarded as nonsense by them, and they were regarded as self-hype of the guide.
Even if they have lived here for generations, no one has really seen the gods, and there is no evidence to really prove the existence of the gods.
In this day and age, people no longer believe in gods. People only believe in themselves, humans have landed on the moon, and human Mars probes have landed on Mars.
Under the whole world, everything is the domain controlled by the gods called science, and all living beings live in the kingdom called science.
Now in the 1990s, which is approaching the millennium, the slightly more affluent households all have televisions.
The TV shows all kinds of Hollywood blockbusters, American soldiers vs. aliens, American soldiers vs. indigenous gods, and aliens vs. indigenous gods. All kinds of absurd and uninhibited stories can be found on TV.
In modern times, even gods are objects of human entertainment. In modern times, people rarely care about legends of gods.
But at this moment, no one except the gods could explain the scene in front of them. That 100-meter-high flaming mountain cannot be explained by any common sense. This is a snow-capped mountain, not a volcano.
Those tour guides are crazy, they have been on the sacred mountain for so many years, they have wandered around the sacred mountain countless times. Just to lead his employer to that mysterious place.
Each of them knew that once they did this, fame and fortune would immediately follow.
Just like old Joey, he has never climbed the mountain. But as Gang Rinpoche's most famous guide, he let his family live in the most expensive neighborhood in the United States and let his daughter go to aristocratic schools all the way by relying only on the advantage of being one step ahead of others.
Half a month ago, he was hired by the top mountaineering team in the United States, and was hired by the wealthy eldest lady in the United States.
According to the rumors that everyone heard, the wealthy eldest lady has promised to give old Joey a decent job, enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
After that, as they guessed, they didn't climb the mountain, but old Joey completely retired. They took the helicopter and left safely.
Old Joey went home, old Joey will never come here again, old Joey went home and retired comfortably. Back home happily with family.
Thinking of this, it can make those guides who work with their heads and work bitterly, jealous to death.
They wish they were old Joey and why they didn't have that kind of luck.
It is not easy to be a guide on the mountain. Every adventure trying to reach the peak is a tightrope walk on the cliff.
Whether it's the mountaineering team that climbs Mount Kinabalu, it's the guides, they're never playing a safe game.
Every year, people hear about various dangers on the mountain, even some information about disability and death.
But those climbers are not so fooled if they only go to safe places. Ordinary climbers have little money, and they will not be very generous with their guides. Among the rich, there are only a few who climb the mountain.
Although these guides have a high income, they are ultimately exchanging their lives for money. Most of the people who used to be guides with old Joey saved a little money and left the business early.
As for those who are willing to take risks and think about conquering the sacred mountain, many have disappeared, or even disappeared on the sacred mountain.
When these guides saw the flames on the sacred mountain, they slapped themselves in disbelief, pinched their companions' bodies, and attracted fists and feet to each other.
"God!"
"God!"
They couldn't believe that there really was a god on the mountain, and it really existed as old Joey said.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but be afraid, no wonder no one can climb the sacred mountain. They are also fortunate that they were fortunately not able to climb the sacred mountain, otherwise, they would really anger the gods.
Compared with other guides on Mount Kailash, Tom's brain is much more active among this group of guides. Otherwise, he would not rely on Joey, relying on his thick skin, and has been learning from the best guide in Gang Rinpoche.
Tom thought vigorously, "Old Joey, the old man knew that there are gods on the sacred mountain. No wonder he can be the best guide in Gang Rinpoche. This old guy is afraid that he will pray to the gods secretly."
He thought indignantly, "This old man is not honest at all. He quietly worships the gods. He is blessed by the gods, and he has become the best guide and made a lot of money. He will never tell these secrets. We, just watch us go up the mountain foolishly, and even offend the gods."
Tom had completely forgotten the many warnings and hints that Old Joey had given him, and he even more forgot that when he first came to Kailash, it was with the teachings of Old Joey that he was able to stand here.
Thinking of old Joey leaving Kailash and enjoying the blessings, Tom felt a little uncomfortable. He muttered, "I'm only in my 30s. Do I have to stay here for ten years before I can retire. No, it can't be like this."
He pondered that the god should look like a good god. Otherwise, he would not bless old Joey easily. Since he is a good god, there is nothing to fear.
After thinking for a while, he has made a decision, "Old Joey went back to enjoy his happiness honestly, but I don't know, I have been here as a guide, and I can live for a few more years. If the current situation can be grasped, it will be An opportunity to retire early."
Thinking of this, Tom made a gesture of prayer, "I believe in God, and I hope God has a good relationship with this god. As long as this is done, I will go back to the United States and live in a big villa, looking for The last pretty girl."
He whispered, "God bless, God bless, I will pray more and go to church more in the rest of my life. The gods will let me make a fortune once."
