Tomb Raider: I, at the beginning, took Fatty Lao Hu as my younger brother

Get ready to assemble and set off.

Lama Ake put a khata on Lao Hu's shoulders and said, "May the Bodhisattva bless you and may you have a safe and auspicious journey to the Phoenix Temple."

Zhou Xun thought to himself: Oh, it seems that the Bodhisattva did not bless us! This journey is not auspicious!

Lao Hu hugged his good friend Ake tightly, wanting to say something but unable to say anything!

I am deeply moved!

People drove a team of yaks and horses towards the northwest!

Zangbei Plateau, deep inland.

The climate is dry and cold, with vertical variations in temperature and rainfall.

Winters are cold and long, summers are cool and short!

It is now the end of summer, the most unstable time of the year.

The desolate wilderness is the uninhabited area called Chihuo. Although it is uninhabited, there are many living creatures in nature.

There are flocks of birds and wild animals appear from time to time.

The mountains in the distance stretch on endlessly.

Behind the mountain, connecting to the azure blue sky, is a large expanse of white snow, but it is too far away to tell whether it is a snow-capped mountain or clouds piled up on the horizon.

I just felt that the atmosphere was magnificent and there was an indescribable mystery!

......

After five days of walking, we crossed the no-man's land.

Of course, the mountainous area we are about to enter is even more desolate than the uninhabited wilderness.

There is a lake at the mountain pass, with many black-necked water birds in the lake. Without being disturbed by anyone, they fly south in groups!

Everyone looked at this strange scene in bewilderment... 0

The fat man said, "Oh my god, this is really an uninhabited area and a mountainous area. There is not even a single person on the road, only animals. It's like a huge zoo!"

Lao Hu asked: "What kind of bird is this?"

Shirley Yang said: "This is a black-necked water bird, also known as a black-necked grebe (pi four tones, ti two tones), a medium-sized water bird that prefers to live in inland freshwater lakes, ponds, rivers and swamps!"

"what?"

"They were fine, so why did they leave?"

The fat man asked curiously.

Zhou Xun asked his guide Ci Ji, "Are they migrating?"

"These birds are not migratory birds. They flew away from the lake because they were probably frightened by an avalanche in the mountains!"

"Another reason could be that this is a sign of an impending cold wave."

The guide Ciji explained.

Well, neither of the two situations Ci Ji mentioned is a good situation!

at this time.

A superstitious porter suggested: "This is an ominous sign, let's go back!"

Unfortunately, everyone had given up the intention to leave and was unmoved!

　2.8 Are you kidding me? I haven't accomplished either of the Millennium Crystal Corpse and the Snake Eyes Curse. So I'm going back? Is it funny to go back?

Lao Hu thought for a moment and said to the guide Ci Ji: "Chuyi, the altitude here is very high. If we go up the mountain again, some people in the team may not be able to bear it."

Chuyi said, "Don't worry. I have been collecting herbs in Karamir with monks since I was a child. I am very familiar with this area. I know there are several deep depressions that can be passed safely!"

"Great, thank you Chuyi!"

Lao Hu thanked him.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Chuyi was very polite.

"Then let's take a rest at the mountain pass and head to the Bone Canggou in twenty minutes!"

Chuyi said.

"Zanggugou?"

Shirley Yang wondered.

Chapter 257: Ocean of Disaster

Along the way, while others were just rushing along and looking at the scenery, Shirley Yang was always sorting out the information narrated by Lama Ake.

I also took the time to repair Father Grape's Bible map, and finally I gradually sorted out some clues.

When he heard that the next step was to pass through the Bone Storage Valley, he asked Chuyi, "Why is there such a place name? What kind of human bones are hidden in this Bone Storage Valley? And this mountain range is called Karamiel, what does that mean?"

Shirley Yang finished this long paragraph.

Everyone could also feel Shirley Yang's mentality of studying at this time.

In other words, try to collect as many clues as possible to reduce the danger for everyone!

Everyone was deeply moved!

Hear the question from Curious Baby Shirley Yang.

Chuyi also knew that this name didn't sound so auspicious.

He explained to everyone: "It is unclear whether there are human bones in the Bone Valley. The reason why it is called this name is because it is the place where all the beasts in the mountains commit suicide. Every year, a large number of yellow sheep, bison, Tibetan horse bears run there and jump into the water to commit suicide!"

"The 30 meters at the bottom of the ditch are all bones of wild beasts. No matter how brave a person is, he would not dare to go there at night. As for Karamir, it means the ocean of disaster!"

The fat man was surprised and said, "The Ocean of Disasters, this name is too unlucky!"

Most people cannot bear a single disaster. This is an ocean of disasters. No wonder few people dare to go there.

So many herdsmen had gone in there on the first day of the new year before.

I don't even dare to get involved with emotions!

"Why is it called this unlucky name? Even the herdsman with the longest beard would not know."

Chuyi also shook his head in confusion.

This name is too old.

And few people mention it.

When everyone heard this, they all found it incredible!

I couldn't help but feel curious about what the truth behind this ancient legend is!

Shirley Yang said: "The phenomenon of wild animals committing suicide in groups is common all over the world, especially in marine life, but it is almost unheard of that different species of animals would commit suicide together!"

"And in Tibet, where people worship mountains and lakes, how could they name this mountain area with such an unlucky word as the Sea of ​​Disaster? It's incredible!"

Shirley Yang's idea is actually what everyone thinks.

The guide Chuyi explained: "The legend of Canggugou was told by many old people. Whenever the full moon is as big as a basin, the wild animals in the mountains will look at the moon."

"Then they jump from a high place into the ditch and die, using their death to appease the anger of the gods. There is also a legend that any animal that jumps into a deep ditch and dies can escape the animal realm and be reincarnated as a human!"

Zhou Xun was speechless and said, "Escape from the animal realm and reincarnate as a human?"

Zhou Xun didn't believe it at all. No matter how magical Kunlun Mountain, the ancestor of mountains, was, it couldn't have the ability to surpass the cycle of reincarnation.

The guide nodded and said, "That's right!"

"But no one alive today has ever seen a wild animal jumping off the cliff there, and no one knows whether those ancient legends are true or not. But in the Bone Storage Valley, you can still see the remains of many wild animals, and at night there are ghost lights flashing."

"Moreover, the terrain there is complex and connected to the ancient Shenluogou Glacier. The place you want to find surrounded by four snow-capped mountains is right at the Shenluogou Glacier. It will take more than five days to get there!"

As soon as Chuyi said this.

Uncle Ming immediately said excitedly: "Are you sure that place is surrounded by four peaks? There won't be other places like it, right?"

Chu nodded and said, "I am sure that the only glacier surrounded by four snow-capped mountains is the Shenluogou Glacier!"

Uncle Ming laughed and said, "Hahahaha, OK, OK!"

At this moment, Uncle Ming seemed to have seen the thousand-year-old crystal corpse of the glacier.

After so much hard work, we are finally arriving.

Old Hu also smiled. Finally, there was some progress.

Zhou Xun asked: "Have you been to Shenluogou Glacier?"

"I've picked herbs at the edge of Shenluogou, but I've never been further in!"

Chuyi said truthfully.

Shirley Yang said: "The further you go in, the more dangerous it may be. Everyone should pay attention to safety!"

Zhang Yingchen nodded and said, "There might be wild beasts running rampant in there!"

The fat man said indifferently: "Who cares? I'll kill every one who comes. Oh, I finally found this place. This journey almost killed me!"

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "What Fatty said is right. No matter what kind of monsters there are, we will face them together. This time, even if there are 81 difficulties waiting for us, I will definitely lead you through them!"

"Hahahaha, good, good! Master Zhou is still reliable. Master Zhou's words are inspiring!"

Uncle Ming thought Zhou Xun was talking about taking him to obtain the Millennium Crystal 610 Corpse, and he laughed immediately.

Shirley Yang, Fatty Lao Hu, and Zhang Yingchen looked at each other and smiled without saying anything!

Everyone's attention suddenly shifted from the magic of Zanggugou and the meaning of the name Karamiel to their destination, Shenluogou Glacier!

The expedition team rested at the mountain pass for more than half an hour.

Then continue moving forward!

Those who were exhausted and had difficulty breathing all rode on horseback.

The guide Chuyi put on his hunting rifle and Tibetan knife again.

He took out a bowl of barley wine and drank it down in several big gulps.

Then he swung the whip in the air three times to inform the mountain god.

After doing all this, Chuyi said to everyone, "To enter Canggugou, we must first climb Gaqingpo. Let's go!"

After saying this, he led the way into the mountain, shaking the prayer wheel in one hand and holding a whip in the other.

The rest of the people followed Chuyi.

After wandering around in the mountains for a long time, the group finally arrived at Gaqingpo, also known as Gaqinggao.

Although there is a word "po" in the place name, it is not much more impressive than the mountains and hills.

It was foggy and misty here, Chuyi and other Kangba men didn't feel anything, but Uncle Ming couldn't stand it anymore.

Chapter 258: Bones are piled up in the Bone Valley

Chuyi looked at Uncle Ming's condition and said worriedly, "In the past, people from the mainland could not adapt to the altitude sickness when they came to the plateau. If they stayed on the plateau for more than 60 days, they would die because the air pressure would gradually enlarge the heart!"

"If this continues for a long time, the body will be overloaded. Although medical treatment can be used to alleviate this situation, it is still very dangerous!"

Zhou Xun nodded and said, "It's okay, just let him follow. If he fails to accomplish his goal this time, he will die with regrets!"

Lao Hu nodded and said, "That's right!"

Old Hu now also knows the specific situation of Uncle Ming!

Before, I was wondering why someone so rich would risk looking for the thousand-year-old crystal corpse. Later, Lao Hu learned from Han Shuona that Uncle Ming’s only remaining asset was the house in Beijing.

There were originally some antiques, but they were all taken out and used as bargaining chips to invite Zhou Xun and others to come out of retirement.

It's really a one-and-only gamble!

In the end, the fundamental reason for Uncle Ming's family fortune's decline was his two sons, who squandered all their wealth on gambling.

Even owed a huge debt!

Uncle Ming is risking everything this time, and he has no other choice!

This also made Lao Hu feel sympathy for Uncle Ming!

At that time, the fat man exclaimed: "What fun!"
