Chapter 92: Standing on the Top of a High Mountain (Part 1)
Private islands are not something that ordinary people can own, and their value ranges from hundreds of thousands of dollars to tens of millions of dollars.
But Yan Zixiu's mentality was very rich and he did not get too entangled in this issue.
He smiled and said: "Okay, we will discuss it later. If Cooper is okay, let's continue going up the mountain."
The four of them set off again.
On the way, Cooper kept doubting, checking, and confirming that his injury was really healed.
At noon, they arrived at the last resting point, 8,500 meters above sea level.
"Yan, according to our original plan, we were going to rest here and climb to the summit early tomorrow morning." Jenny said, "But after eating your dates, I think the plan can be changed. Mike, Cooper, what do you think?"
"Maybe it would be possible if we could have a few more dates," Mike said with a smile.
Cooper felt his body: "With Mr. Yan, a miracle doctor here, I have confidence."
"Yan, do you still have your dates? I want to buy a few." Jenny asked.
"No need to buy, I will give you a few more. If you need them in the future, you can go to the China Canton Fair to order them." Yan Zixiu gave each of them five more pills, which was enough for them to go up and down the mountain.
He also made a promotional advertisement by the way.
"Canton Fair? Okay. I must go." Seeing his generosity, the three of them all had the idea of making friends.
Mike suddenly remembered something: "Jenny, did the Ningshen incense we used last night come from the Canton Fair? I remember David said this when he gave you Ningshen incense."
"Yes. I remembered it when you mentioned it. That's what David said. It seems that one of his friends named Bashir brought it back from the Canton Fair as a gift to him."
Yan Zixiu connected everything in his mind. Bashir, the young man with dark eyes and high nose at the Canton Fair, gave Ning Shenxiang to a man named David, and David gave it to Jenny. Jenny and the others used it last night.
Ning Shenxiang, so I positioned myself nearby.
What a fate.
"Haha, what a coincidence. Ningshenxiang and Huolingzao are both produced by my friend. What do you think of the effect of Ningshenxiang?" Yan Zixiu asked.
"The effect is great. Without Ningshen Fragrance, we wouldn't be able to sleep well in such an oxygen-deprived environment." Mike mentioned it and was full of praise. Jenny and Cooper nodded frequently in agreement.
The three of them looked at each other, tacitly understanding each other. They all felt that they had grasped a clue this time, and it was very promising to meet Dr. Yan again.
After everyone ate a Huoling Zao, everyone seemed to be fully charged again and started to climb to the top in high spirits.
The altitude difference between here and the summit is more than 300 meters, and the distance is much farther than 300 meters.
This distance was the most difficult road. It took them a full four hours to reach the top. You must know that this was only after previous people had built some auxiliary facilities.
When the Chinese climbed to the top for the first time, they also spent nearly a day and night on this journey.
The difficulty of climbing Mount Everest is evident.
…
Standing at the highest point of Mount Everest and looking around, you can understand what it means to truly "be at the top of Mount Everest and see all the small mountains at a glance".
The top peaks in the world rankings are now at their feet.
A little further up, there is emptiness.
The mountains are like ocean waves, and the sun is like sprinkles of gold. Thinking of the long and leisurely time of heaven and earth, it soothes my heart and makes it difficult to calm down.
Jenny and Mike had gone through all kinds of hardships to get here, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Cooper felt like he was resurrected from the dead. He had mixed feelings in his heart and wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.
Yan Zixiu's feelings were different from theirs. He was much more relaxed when he came up, so there was no such great sadness or joy.
But when we adventured together with these three people, we experienced the friendship of mutual help.
If he had used the Shrinking Earth Technique to come up directly, he would definitely not have felt this way. This made him understand why when Tang Monk was learning the scriptures, he did not let Sun Wukong fly directly over with a somersault cloud, but asked the four masters and disciples to walk over step by step.
.
If you know what you are doing, how can you know if you are not doing it?
According to the research of geologists, Mount Everest in the sky was once deep under the sea in ancient times. The vicissitudes of the sea have made it the lowest, and now it is the highest. In this regard, Yan Zixiu suddenly remembered two sentences: The mountains stand high, and the mountains are deep.
Traveling to the deep sea.
These two sentences not only correspond to the changes in Mount Everest, but also remind people that supreme wisdom must be implemented in grassroots life.
And theories that are out of touch with life are all metaphysics.
While he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard Mike's astonishing words: "Do you know? When Mount Everest is the highest, it is not more than 8,000 meters, but more than 10,000 meters."
"More than ten thousand meters? Is there such a thing?" Yan Zixiu was a little surprised. This was not mentioned in geography textbooks.
"Yes. Scientists studied it. However, it collapsed for unknown reasons more than 10 million years ago, and now there are only these 8,000 meters left." Mike said confidently.
The other three looked towards the sky above.
They are now standing on the top of the earth. If Mount Everest in the past was more than two thousand meters higher than this, that is, another two kilometers straight up. What kind of spectacle would it be? How majestic it would be? How many more would it be?
Can an individual climb up there?
And that kind of collapse, what kind of great change is it?
They all shook their heads, unbelievable and unimaginable.
Everyone left their own souvenirs in the rubble sheltered from the wind. This is one of the rituals for those who climb Mount Everest.
Yan Zixiu left the jujube core of the Xianfu Huoling Zao, not hoping to grow jujube trees, but as a teleportation location. When the weather is good, you can come here to have a look.
After taking photos of each other, everyone started going down the mountain to find a place to rest before night fell.
Since Mount Everest is very high, the sun sets relatively late. Before nightfall, they finally found a place to shelter from the wind and gather energy.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.
Before the sun disappeared, the moon had already risen into the sky.
Yan Zixiu helped the three of them set up the tent, and then everyone remembered that Yan Zixiu didn't bring anything.
It seems that when the weather is cold and lacks oxygen, the brain's reaction sometimes slows down.
What should we do? Mike and the other three were very hesitant for a moment.
Seeing their expressions, Yan Zixiu said with a smile: "You don't have to worry or be embarrassed. I have other things to do and I didn't plan to stay here."
"That won't work. This is Mount Everest, and this is night. Do you know what you are talking about? Even if there is moonlight, it won't work." Jenny was a little anxious.
Mike initially established a friendship with Yan Zixiu and said seriously: "Yan, you may have a special physique and are not afraid of cold or lack of oxygen. But this is really not a joke. Going down the mountain at night is very, very dangerous. I am not in shape.
It’s so small that the two of us can squeeze into a tent.”
Cooper was even more grateful to Yan Zixiu and strongly expressed that he could not risk going down the mountain overnight.
"Mike, Jenny, Cooper, I appreciate your kindness. Don't worry, I won't be in danger. We'll see you again." Yan Zixiu felt a little tired, so after saying a brief goodbye, he activated his clairvoyance and found the peacock Qingqing.
Wherever he was, he used the Shuchichishin Technique and walked over.
The three of them watched Yan Zixiu disappear under the faint moonlight after taking one step. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
Jenny took out the Huolingzao, looked at it, touched it, took a small bite, and then confirmed that what happened today was not a hallucination: "Does the Superman in the movie really have a real prototype?"
"Although Yan is not as capable of flying and escaping as Superman, he must be very capable. He will be fine," Mike said.
"Yes. He is not a person who takes risks casually." Cooper said.
They said this, not knowing whether they were comforting themselves.
"If we tell our friends about Yan, will they believe it?" Jenny asked.
Cooper said: "It's hard to say. As a client, I find it incredible now."
"Fortunately, we still have a clue about the Canton Fair. We will go to the Canton Fair next year to see if we can get any news about him," Mike said.
"Yes, this is a way." Jenny nodded.
"I haven't given him the gift I promised yet. I will definitely keep my promise." Cooper looked firm.
