Chapter 73 Exploring the Mysteries of Northern Tibet (16)

After returning to the base, the travelers were still discussing enthusiastically. Inspired by this atmosphere, Fei Lezhi and Yin Baitao looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Originally, they felt that the Crown Scepter, Dragon God Waterway, and the lost bone flute were difficult to deal with and had no clues. However, after Jiang Hongguang said this, although it was suspected that he deliberately simplified and comforted them, it must be said that both of them relaxed a lot.

The experienced travelers prepared the expedition equipment that might be used in advance, but their financial resources and experience were different, and the items they prepared were also different, so there were always omissions. The novice travelers had supplies provided by the hostel. Although they were relatively basic, they were comprehensive.

Everyone got together to check and fill in the gaps. When the Eagle Flute Heir arrived, the travelers had already divided into groups in advance and prepared their things. They could go as long as they carried their backpacks.

However, the Xiangxiong ruins are not those ruins with many remaining ground buildings. It was severely damaged by many earthquakes in history. Tourists who come to Qiongzong Mountain to visit the Xiangxiong ruins for the first time may be disappointed, because at a glance, there are two bare earth and stone mountains, with some khaki broken walls and ruins on the mountains, and nothing else can be found.

This adds a lot of difficulty to the exploration. Tourists cannot know whether there is a secret passage of the Xiangxiong ruins under the khaki rocks, and where it leads to the ruins. They can only explore the mountain by luck. Blind exploration will definitely waste a lot of time and may not get anything.

Legend has it that the Xiangxiong Kingdom was built on the mountain. There may be secret rooms and secret passages under the soil and rocks from the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. The Dragon God Waterway mentioned by the descendants of the Eagle Flute further shows that the underground secret passages of the Xiangxiong ruins are complicated, and there may even be a waterway leading to Dangre Yongcuo.

In this way, even if Xu Yang's title of [Blind Perception] can clearly explore the scene ten meters underground, the secret passages and secret rooms on the surface and near the surface may have collapsed long ago and cannot be entered.

Although Ji Hongcai brought an engineer shovel, they couldn't dig a tunnel right away. They were not professionals, and what if they didn't dig well and the tunnel collapsed and buried people inside?

This is when the importance of the map was revealed. Wei Xun took the human skin thangka map and led the tourists to the top of the Qiongzong Mountain and looked down. All they could see was a piece of earth yellow. If they were not archaeological professionals, they might think everything was the same, with no difference at all.

But Wei Xun took the map and roughly circled the possible range of the Saikang Temple by matching the three ruins discovered by himself, Snow Leopard and Diao Cub with the various complex symbols on the human skin map.

"Start looking from here."

Wei Xun made a circle and basically covered most of the right side of the mountain and the area above its mountainside, which was close to the tunnel full of headless mummies discovered by Diao Cub.

That place might have been prepared for sacrificial killing. The last king of the Xiangxiong Kingdom was assassinated during the lake sacrifice, and they were at war with Tubo at the time. Before the lake sacrifice, Gu Xin, the national teacher of Bon religion, would definitely prepare the sacrifices for the sacrifices in advance. It is very likely that they would be the captured enemy soldiers on the battlefield, and they would sacrifice with living people.

The Kingdom of Zhangzhung took Bon religion as its state religion, and respected the higher it was. It was believed that the higher and more dangerous the place was, the easier it would be to achieve great perfection. Gu Xin's status was higher than that of the king. The Saikang Temple was located at the highest place in the kingdom. Originally, there should have been a higher tower for Gu Xin to practice. The place slightly below the Saikang Temple might have been the former Zhangzhung Palace.

But now, a thousand years have passed, and Qiongzong Mountain is still standing, but the ground buildings are basically invisible.

Seeing Wei Xun actually took out the map, the veteran travelers were only amazed. It was really much easier to have such a captain. When Wei Xun circled the general area, the travelers had a rough idea in their minds. Now, the team has a total of nine people except Wei Xun, divided into three groups.

Jiang Hongguang and Ji Hongcai led their teams respectively, with the right mountain top as the center, and explored the area drawn by Wei Xun, one team heading east and one team heading west. Yin Baitao and Fang Yuhang were temporary mobile positions, staying at the base to watch everyone's equipment. Once a signal was sent from either side, they would immediately notify all members. Xu Yang followed Wei Xun and became his exclusive underground detector.

"If Ding Yi was still there, this shopping spot should sell walkie-talkies."

Jiang Hongguang said that the signal was not good on the mountain, and the mobile phone signal was only one bar. They acted separately, and if one of them had an accident, it would be difficult to contact, especially if they accidentally fell to the ground and broke their legs and fainted, then they would be helpless.

"We don't have very professional expedition equipment, so we must be careful when exploring the ruins."

Ji Hongcai was assigning whistles to ensure that each team had at least two: "The Xiangxiong ruins have been exposed to wind and rain for a long time, and the seemingly solid earth walls may have been loose in texture. If you are not careful, they will collapse soon. Stay away from the earth walls and bricks when you walk, bring a trekking pole, and explore the cracks on the ground first, don't step directly."

"Buckle the climbing rope between the three people and keep a certain distance. If someone falls, you must stay steady. Blow the whistle when you encounter danger."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the wind was not so strong, and the passengers checked their equipment for the last time and acted according to the plan. After their figures disappeared among the khaki rocks, Wei Xun took Xu Yang down.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and the altitude reaction is also a severe test for Duoduo. Xu Yang loves his dog and trusts Wei Xun, so he lets Duoduo rest at the base. He tried the passengers' trekking poles one by one and chose the most suitable length as a blind stick, which was also very stable when walking.

In front of the two men, there was a droopy-headed little black dog leading the way. It was so small that it could not be seen because it was stuck in the cracks of the pit. But Wei Xun could know the location of Ding Gou with his consciousness and rarely looked at it.

Ding Yi’s [Old TV] props are actually not as good as Bingjiu’s original [Pornography]. The person who engages in pornography is Bingjiu himself. He appears in the split screen of other passengers’ live broadcasts, and he also has his own mosaic, which can be used to block pornography. Other split screens are also blocked.

Even if all the passengers are in the same screen, and the entire screen cannot be blocked for the sake of the outside audience, the mosaic will tenaciously cover Bingjiu's body and the people closest to him, and both his voice and image will be mosaic-ed.

The [Old TV] doesn't work. It simply blocks Ding Yi's live broadcast split screen and turns it into snowflakes. However, if Ding Yi is in the field of vision of other passengers, his figure will also be exposed in the split screen. on the screen. Just like the audience can see the little black dog stumbling and walking in front of Wei Xun's live broadcast through the split screen.

But in the current situation, the latter is more useful. If Ding Yi's shielding prop also shielded himself, the audience would know what was going on at a glance when they saw the small mosaic next to Wei Xun.

"Brother Wei, it's over 500 meters."

Xu Yang suddenly said that when they were alone, he used to call him Brother Wei, which seemed to make their relationship closer.

"It's okay. The reminder that Ding Yi was seriously injured is still there. He won't recover so quickly."

Wei Xun said, and then he saw the corners of Xu Yang's mouth curl up quickly and then flatten. The smart kid understood directly that Ding Yi would probably not come back.

If Ding Yi comes back, Xu Yang believes that Wei Xun will not stay five hundred meters away from others, and most likely everyone will always act together.

In fact, when Wei Xun said that the team was searching, Xu Yang guessed that Ding Yi might be dead. Even if he was not dead, it was not that Wei Xun said that he could only sense it when he was close to 500 meters away, but that Wei Xun had a way to sense it all the time. To Ding Yi's position.

But he thought about it but would not say it. He just smiled secretly, feeling happy in his heart, as if he and Wei Xun were getting closer because of this little secret.

Then, Xu Yang felt Wei Xun's hand fall on his head and patted him gently.

"so smart."

Wei Xun praised that it was worry-free to take care of a child like Xu Yang, especially after he was completely convinced. The road down the mountain was not easy to walk, so Xu Yang walked extremely carefully even with the help of trekking poles, so his speed inevitably slowed down.

Wei Xun thought for a while and simply asked Xu Yang to stop and stand next to him. Just when the audience in the live broadcast room thought they were about to see a warm and friendly scene of Wei Xun carrying Xu Yang, they saw Wei Xun put his arms around Xu Yang's waist, lifted him up, and then tucked him under his arm. Then I saw Wei Xun holding Xu Yang between his legs and jumping straight down from the mountain!

Xu Yang:? ?

audience:? ? !

The strong wind howled past his ears, Wei Xun was like a vigorous beast that was born to grow in the mountains. He jumped to a height of seven or eight meters every time, and it took no effort to carry Xu Yang. In three jumps and two jumps, he reached the underground ruins where he had discovered Shuang Xiu's mural.

"It's too fast."

Wei Xun was still reminiscing about the feeling of leaping unscrupulously from the mountain just now. The excitement brought by the rapid fall and jump made his heart beat faster, the corners of his lips curled up, and his breathing became slightly faster due to excitement.

It's a pity - it's too fast.

He only jumped a few times before reaching the ground, which was not many meters in total.

If, if, Wei Xun couldn't help but look forward to it. What a joy it would be if one day he could climb Mount Everest and then start jumping down from the highest mountain!

"Come on."

Wei Xun smiled and put Xu Yang down. He quite liked the child. When he became childlike, he couldn't help but want to share his favorite things with him.

Snapped.

Xu Yang was put down and fell to the ground as soft as noodles.

Dad, Mom, have I arrived in heaven?

In a hazy state, Xu Yang seemed to see his parents in heaven waving to him affectionately, and Duoduo was also yelling at him next to his parents, wagging his tail into a shadow.

Xu Yang happily reached out to them to grab his parents' hands. But at this moment, Wei Xun rushed out from the side, grabbed his waist, and led him to jump from heaven to the eighteenth level of hell!

call!

Xu Yang woke up suddenly and felt wet on his lips. He licked it, it was sweet.

"Ahem, sorry."

Wei Xun fed Xu Yang a small half bottle of glucose and secretly added some medicine to calm the mind and replenish the blood. It was rare that he felt a little embarrassed. It is also rare to meet a child with such high IQ as Xu Yang, which reminds Wei Xun of his own childhood.

But not everyone is not afraid of death like him and loves to try all kinds of excitement.

I think you Ziming also tried to persuade him to find a partner and fall in love, which might be better, but Wei Xun dismissed it because he was not in good health and could not delay others.

He really couldn't find anyone who could go crazy with him.

You can’t just ask someone when you meet them, ‘Hello, do you like extreme sports? Can you fly in a wingsuit or skydive from a low altitude? How many times have you climbed Mount Everest? ’

Wei Xun sometimes feels aggrieved. He wants to find someone who is as good as himself and has a common topic. This is not too much!

"No, it's okay, I'm fine."

Xu Yang still seemed to be floating in the sky, feeling that the earth was soft. He wanted to vomit as soon as he recalled the terrifying feeling of weightlessness, but he held on, refusing to let Wei Xun think that he was timid. In fact, he had a small face. They were all pale with fear.

"I'm fine, Brother Wei, where is my blind stick?"

Wei Xun felt even more embarrassed to see the child frightened like this. He took out the sleeping mink cub from his pocket and stuffed it into Xu Yang's arms. The Sky Fox cub is a good thing. When you hold it, you will feel a deep warmth and a happy mood. You will naturally develop love and protection for it. It is indeed a very useful object to divert attention.

But Xu Yang, who was trying to stand up with his blind cane tremblingly, hugged the mink cub, but he seemed to be stupid, and fell directly to the ground again. The mink cub fell to the ground in a dazed sleep. , the little body gradually turning into snow-white rolled a circle of loess.

Mink Zai:? ? ?

When Wei Xun saw Xu Yang's condition, he felt something was wrong. Xu Yang's face turned even paler. He was trembling all over. He hurriedly moved his hands and feet back with all his strength, as if he was frightened. His teeth clicked together and made a rattling sound. The floating soil was stuck into a ball with sweat, making it extremely dirty and messy.

No, it's not a mink problem. Wei Xun directly picked up Xu Yang, took the blind stick from his hand, and gave him a few sips of the remaining half bottle of glucose.

Xu Yang grabbed Wei Xun's clothes tightly and staggered back more than ten steps before finally stopping, gasping for breath in shock.

"What did you see?"

When Xu Yang managed to calm down, Wei Xun asked in a low voice:

"What's underground?"

[Blind Perception (Blue Title): As a blind person, you have extraordinary perception. You can go down to ten meters underground, go up to ten meters in the air, and you can't leave your range of perception for a week. Of course, it is not easy to perceive these. , you must have a guide dog or a blind stick]

This is Xu Yang's title. He was so scared when he got the blind stick. There must be something under the ground!

Wei Xun glanced at where they were just now, which was between the secret room with the strange Buddha statue discovered by Snow Leopard and the secret passage with Shuang Xiu's mural discovered by Wei Xun.

"Yes, there are corpses, one, no, many. There are many corpses in the soil."

Xu Yang's voice was trembling, his face was pale, and his words were rarely incoherent.

"There are so many, so many. They are standing and buried in the soil, forming a circle. I can't count how many there are."

"It was like their necks were broken, their faces were completely looking upwards, and all the corpses were - they were looking at the people on the ground!"
