Chapter 548 The Pilgrim Trail

And Fan Jiannan and others also left the Tibetan pastoral area after the European wizards rushed back to report.With Greyhound, the anti-tracking expert, they didn't leave the slightest clue.But Fan Jiannan's body was still not suitable for going up the mountain, so the three could only walk back to the off-road vehicle hidden in the meadow to rest.

Fortunately, this place is remote, and because it is a wetland, few people set foot here.Long Daudao treated Fan Jiannan with Tibetan medicine and acupuncture every day.Greyhound hunted with a bow and arrow, because he didn't want to use the stored food for the time being, which was their supply for entering the mountain.But every day he can always find food and clean drinking water.After a week, Fan Jiannan's health improved slightly. Although he could not be said to have recovered, at least he was not in any danger.

Fan Jiannan couldn't sit still anymore, and urged to leave for Manasarovar Lake.Jia Zixun and Long Daudao couldn't stop him, so they discussed with Greyhound and decided to set off tomorrow for the pilgrimage path that Greyhound mentioned.

This line is on the same level as the Gangdese Mountains running from east to west. There are many snow peaks above 6000 meters above sea level along the way. From grasslands, alpine meadows to glaciers, the total is more than 80 kilometers. Six days of hiking.Because most of them are on the narrow trails in the mountains, which are difficult and dangerous.

That day, Fan Jiannan and his group made all the preparations and slowly climbed to the mountain pass, and finally saw the pilgrim trail mentioned by Greyhound, which was a trail trodden by mules and horses carrying luggage.The mountain road is very narrow, basically only three or four people can walk side by side.The pass is an old prayer flag that is blown by the wind.The four walked slowly, like a few small black dots arranged on the winding snow-white mountain.

"This is the hardest and easiest place on this crossing route. In the past, many lone pilgrims got lost here, and the snow and fog caused them to fail to deal with it properly, and eventually died of hypothermia or illness." Greyhound said slowly .Although Fan Jiannan didn't carry a backpack, he was panting every few steps.His body was far from recovering, and he was still a little weak.

Tibetans who believe in Buddhism firmly believe that pilgrimage can cleanse the sins of past and present lives, add infinite merit, and finally escape from reincarnation and reach bliss.Therefore, there are always countless Tibetans, pitching between the sky and the earth in the unique way of prostrating their heads, trekking towards the holy land like a strong magnetic field.For a believer, pilgrimage is a sacred act that can be taken seriously for a lifetime.On this difficult and narrow path, I don’t know how many pilgrims have been buried here for their faith.

Fan Jiannan can often see mules, horses and even human skeletons on the narrow roadside.Greyhound seemed to be completely used to these places, and was not moved at all, just leading them to trek along this mountain road with difficulty.In order to take care of the injured Fan Jiannan, they took a break every time they walked.It didn't take long for several people to have altitude sickness to varying degrees. Except for Greyhound, this person was as strong as iron.

Difficulty in breathing, dizziness and vomiting, these symptoms became more and more obvious. If it wasn't for the presence of a skilled medical practitioner like Long Bold, Fan Jiannan would definitely not be able to survive this test.Fortunately, Long Bold's special medicine was as miraculous as his acupuncture. After taking the medicine, several of them leaned together to rest.This was halfway up the mountain, and there was a cliff a few steps away. Fan Jiannan didn't even dare to look down.Even when he was resting, he tried his best to curl up his body backward, for fear that a gust of wind would blow him down the mountain.

The Greyhound smiled kindly and said, "Just get used to it, this is not the snow line yet. Only when you get there will you know that the road full of ice and snow is the real nightmare. Okay, you guys take a break first, I'm here Go ahead and have a look." After speaking, he continued on for a while, carefully checking the traces on the road along the way.After a while, they turned back and said, "It seems that Po Jun and the others walked smoothly. Although these footprints were left a week ago, they still look neat. It means that no one else has walked this road after them. See It's going well."

"We have to keep up with them. If we delay too much, I'm worried that something will happen to them." Fan Jiannan frowned.

Greyhound nodded and said, "How do you feel? If you feel better, keep going. We'd better get to that location before dark." He pointed to the distance and said, "There's a small depression there. It's more spacious than other places. And it's sheltered from the wind, so we can spend the night there."

Fan Jiannan narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "It doesn't seem that far away."

"Wangshan is a dead horse. It doesn't look far away, but according to our current progress, it may not be there until dark. So hurry up, unless you want to spend the night on this narrow mountain path." Greyhound smiled wryly.

His words are more useful than anything else.Whether it was Fan Jiannan, Jiazixun, or even Long Bold, they all stood up.Because no one wants to spend the night on this mountain path that is only a few feet wide, even if they are struggling, they have to climb to a safe place.

Panting heavily, Long Boldly complained, "I don't want to come to this damn place in my life. When I go back, I will die of old age in my Jiangnan where the spring is blooming."

"Okay, you're still far from dying of old age, but I'm almost dying of breath. You still have the strength to complain, come on, help me quickly." Fan Jiannan dragged Long Bold's clothes and tried to walk upwards.Greyhound is leading the way in front, and Jia Zixun is following behind.Although Jia Zixun's health has always been bad, and his face is frighteningly pale now, he is still better than Fan Jiannan.

A group of people walked with difficulty, and when they were about to reach the col in front, the Greyhound suddenly stopped.He lay on the ground and looked at something carefully, and even sniffed something with his nose full of doubts.Long Bold couldn't help laughing and said, "Old Hui, although you are called a gray dog, you are not a real dog after all. What do you smell?"

Before he finished speaking, Fan Jiannan covered his mouth.Fan Jiannan looked at Greyhound, turned his head and made a silent gesture to Long Bold, and said in a low voice, "Don't disturb him, he seems to have found something unusual."

Greyhound raised his head from the steep rock in front, turned around and waved to Fan Jiannan and the others, "This place is a bit unusual, come and have a look."

Fan Jiannan's heart moved, and he immediately pulled Long Boldly forward.It was found that the mountain road ahead had been piled with small stones into a small stone pile, and an arrow was carved beside it.Long boldly looked at it for a long time, frowned and said, "This is Mani Dui? What's so special about it?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "This is not a mani pile. Look at these stones, they are too small. And judging from the material of the stones, they look like gravel scattered beside the mountain road. It's normal, but they were piled up like this The arrow engraved next to it was carved on the stone with a very sharp metal object. The trace is very new, and it should have happened in the past few days. If I guessed correctly, the person who left this arrow is Cang Yunxiao, This mark is drawn with his alloy three-edged arrowhead."

Greyhound nodded and said, "Yes, I think so too. And this pair of small stones was left by another person, this is a woman. Although the smell left on the stone pile is very faint, it can still be discerned vaguely. It's like some kind of very special perfume, it's Lin Zhongxiu."

"They?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "Why did they choose to leave a mark on this place? Could it be that they want to tell us something?"

"Could it be that they have encountered some danger?" Long Boldly asked in surprise.

Fan Jiannan stroked the arrowhead carved on the rock carefully with his hand, pondered for a while and said, "Probably not, the arrowhead is drawn in a very regular way, without any signs of panic. And the pile of small stones is also stacked neatly, not at all like It was made in an emergency, and it should not be left in danger. It is to tell us something."

Long Boldly frowned and said, "Why don't I call them and ask them?"

Fan Jiannan smiled slightly, "You can try it, but I'm sure you can't get through this call. Because there is no signal here."

Long boldly said proudly, "Hey, are you a layman again? Of course I know that there is no mobile phone signal here, but I have cutting-edge equipment here. Look at this, a satellite phone. This is an American product provided by Pojun, a real military grade ’” He picked up the clunky-looking phone while opening the folding antenna.But soon his face became unnatural, and he couldn't get through the phone.He tried several times, but found that there was no way to access the satellite signal.

"What's going on here? How do you know that the phone can't be connected?" Long Boldly looked at Fan Jiannan in surprise.

Fan Jiannan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "The purpose of the mark they left must be to tell us something. If the satellite phone can get through here, why would they bother to make it so complicated? Just call us and tell us if it's wrong." Do you think you're the only one who wants to use the phone?"

Long boldly shrugged and said, "I really didn't think so much. I know you have a lot of tricks, so what do you mean they kept this thing?"

Fan Jiannan scanned the notches and stone piles with his fingers, and frowned slightly, "There is no strong surge in magic power, and they are very relaxed when they do all this. There should be no crisis... Greyhound! Greyhound!"

Greyhound, who was checking in front, came back, looked at Fan Jiannan, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?"

Fan Jiannan frowned and said, "Grey Dog, I want to trouble you with something. Can you go ahead and check carefully to see if there is something wrong with the road ahead?"

Greyhound nodded and said, "I think so too. So I looked ahead and found a problem. Even if you don't call me, I'm ready to come back."

"Oh? What's the problem?" Fan Jiannan was taken aback.

"There is no road ahead. This pilgrimage path is very old. It seems that it has recently experienced a landslide. The corner in front of it was destroyed by nearly 20 meters. Unless we grow wings, we can't think about it." Greyhound sighed tone way.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "It seems that this mark is to tell us that they temporarily changed their route. This arrow points out the direction."
