Chapter 576

Duoji looked in the direction of Zhu Yan's finger: "Oh, those cars you said? They are not tourists, but a study group that came here a few days ago. There are more than a dozen of them, and they have a lot of things. I personally led the yak team to go back and forth several times before transporting the goods."

"There are many people, so there must be many things to use." Sangji agreed.

"Not only tents for food, but also some equipment, which are quite heavy."

"Scientific investigation, it must use some instruments and equipment."

"Yes, yes." Duoji nodded.

"Isn't this a big deal for your Yak team?"

"Now is the season! Most of the general tourists and those who go to the mountains and lakes come in spring, summer and autumn, and there are very few tourists and people who go to the mountains in winter."

"Does your yak team also provide guides?"

"Everyone in our yak transportation team is a very good guide. They are very familiar with the environment around the holy mountain. If you are going to the holy mountain, I will arrange someone to guide you."

"Ah, that's really great. Did they ask you to be a guide?" He pointed to the cars.

"You mean the inspection team? No, after we transported our stuff up, they set up a camp there and hired us a few yaks and horses. They said they were very familiar with that place and wouldn't go too far. No guide needed."

Sanji: "Oh...we will stay in Mount Kinabalu for a few days, and the journalists and writers need to take some photos. You can arrange for someone to take us there!"

"Ok."

After a short rest, the guide arranged by Dorji came, who was a middle-aged woman.

Dorje said: "You have two female comrades, arrange for Sanzhu to accompany you."

Zhu Yan: "Thank the village chief for being so thoughtful."

"Although Sangzhu is a woman, she is as strong as a young man."

One set off on a horse.

In addition, two yaks brought tents and other daily necessities.

They are going camping in the wild tonight.

In the evening, they arrived at Nianri Temple.This is also the first stop for all trekkers.Starting from Taqin, the starting point of Zhuanshan, it is about 6.7 kilometers to reach Nianri Temple, where you can see the peak of Shenshan.

This is their campsite tonight.

Sangzhu and the others said, "Go and visit the temples while it's still dark. I'll leave it to me to set up the tent."

"Can you do it alone?" Zhu Yan was worried.

Sangzhu pointed to several tents not far away and said, "That is a service point set up by people in our village. I can ask them for help, no problem."

So a group of people went to Nianri Temple.

It's not the best time to go around the mountain, and I only occasionally see a few people going around the mountain along the way.

I didn't see the camp of the expedition team either. Didn't they camp here?

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the temple, a lama came to greet them and said: "Several distinguished guests have come from afar, please come in first and drink buttered tea to get rid of the cold."

The lama welcomed them into the back room and poured hot buttered tea.

Wang Kai said: "I am so grateful to be able to drink such delicious butter tea in such a place."

"You're welcome. Although this place is remote and lacks material, butter tea can still satisfy you."

After three cups of butter tea, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The fragrant butter tea drives away the cold and tiredness.

Sangji said to the lama: "These are reporters and writers who came to interview, please ask someone to take them to visit the temple and explain the legends and stories about the temple."

The lama agreed to go out, and soon brought a teenage lama over.

Sangji said to Zhuyan Guo Qiqi and Xu Feng: "Go, you are not allowed to take pictures in the temple, you should take a good look and listen. Wang Kai and I will rest here for a while, and we will go to find you later."

Zhu Yan agreed and went out with the little lama.

Only Sanji and Lama Wang Kai were left in the room.

The lama said, "I thought you wouldn't arrive in another two days."

Sangji: "When I received the news, I happened to be back from the ruins. I set off directly from the travel agency. The speed of the soldiers is so high."

Lama: "There is a new situation. Before this, a few mountain trekkers used to trek here. At that time, I thought they were ordinary trekkers. I didn't pay much attention to it. But just yesterday, after the inspection team came , These few people who turned the mountain also left suddenly. They left here and went here after the investigation group."

Sanji: "Leaving? Isn't their goal the holy mountain? Where did they go?"

The lama took out a piece of paper and spread it on the coffee table, "Go here, this is a nearby mountain. Although it is not as famous as the sacred mountain, people usually go to the mountain. This is the topographic map of the mountain."

What Wang Kai saw was a hand-drawn map, which marked in detail where temples were, canyons, swamps, etc.

The lama pointed to a place marked with a red 1 and said: "Here, the four so-called mountain-turners and the inspection team are now stationed here, about 15 kilometers away from our current location."

"Are there any other climbers camping there?"

"No. The terrain of that mountain is relatively complicated, and it is also the place with the highest altitude among the mountain-turning routes. It is not a popular mountain-turning route, and there are not many people usually, let alone this season. Right now, only the inspection team and those four people are stationed there.

Generally, those who turn the mountain will pass here quickly and will not stop much, and it is even more impossible to choose to camp here.So those four so-called mountain-turners must have other plans to set up camp here.I observed them secretly, and found that the four people who came before had contact with the investigation team, which confirmed my suspicion that they must have ulterior motives. "

"Your vigilance is quite high." Sanji praised sincerely, "They didn't find you, did they?"

"That is. Don't look at who I am. The eagle on the plateau just wants to keep his eyes open and keep an eye out for the appearance of prey. This is the sacred mountain. My duty is to protect her and not allow the slightest encroachment. They Didn't find me, I'm more familiar with the terrain here than they are."

The lama pointed to a location on the map marked with 2 in blue and said: "Pass past their camp, and go one kilometer ahead to observe them from a condescending height."

Luosang pointed to a branch line marked with a red cross and said, "What does this mean?"

"It is said that it is a secret road, a shortcut to turn around the mountain. Many years ago, someone strayed into it, but never walked out. Now few people know this secret road, let alone walk through it. The reason why I marked it I came out because I was afraid that you would go astray."

"Look, the location chosen by the inspection team is near the secret passage. Could it be that they came for the secret passage?"

"It's possible! No wonder..." Everyone understands the meaning of the latter words—the secret path really hides a secret?

Sanji: "Okay, leave it to me. Let's find out what secret they have?"

"Let me help you! I am familiar with the terrain here. I don't worry if you go alone. If anything happens, there will be a helper."

Sanji: "We have enough people, but if we have too many people, we will scare the snake away."

"Are the three reporters our own? Or are they here to cover?"

"One of my own, Wang Kai's partner."

"understood."

Sanji folded the map and put it in his pocket: "Okay, that's it, we'll set off tomorrow morning."

The two left and found Zhu Yan and the others. Zhu Yan was listening to the little lama explaining the legend with great interest.

They bid farewell to the little lama and went out to find Sangzhu. Sangzhu had already set up two tents next to the service point. A stove was built in the tent. The dry cow dung was burning, and the kettle on the stove was already steaming. It is the taste of butter tea.

"You guys are working hard, come here and warm yourself by the fire.

Thick mats were laid out in the tent, and everyone sat on the mats to enjoy the fire and drink buttered tea.

"It's so good to have butter tea." Zhu Yan sighed while holding the cup.

Wang Kai looked at her very contented appearance, like a lazy cat full of food and drink, and couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"Laugh you are so cute, so easy to satisfy."

Zhu Yan: "Aren't you satisfied?"

Wang Kai: "Yes, I am also very satisfied. In my line of work, I often run around, in the wind and rain, and I am content with a sip of hot water and hot soup."

And drinking hot soup and hot water with you is super satisfying!

The latter sentence can only be said in my heart.
