In the early morning, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of several thousand meters, the air is relatively thin, and people with poor physical fitness are prone to altitude sickness.
"Geez~"
Hearing the rooster crow, Wang also exited the scene.
Ghost Blowing the Lamp is a novel he read a few years ago, and his memory is rather vague, especially about the plot of "Kunlun Temple".
Because the TV series has not yet been released, some details have been blurred. I only know a rough idea. If you want to get accurate information, you can only enter the interior calculation.
Obtaining information related to himself requires paying a certain price. In order to avoid losing too much of Yangshou, Wang Ye planned to first go to the ancient ruins under Mount Kailash and then make inferences from the ancient ruins there.
After walking out of the tent, Wang Ye saw the partridge whistle, the old foreigner, and the flower spirit all put on thick clothes and doing Tai Chi on the grass.
"Wang Ye, morning!"
Hua Ling saw Wang Ye and said hello.
"morning."
Wang Ye was wearing cooler clothes. His current strength was much stronger than that of the original Wang Ye, but he didn't feel cold at all.
After doing a set of Tai Chi to stretch their muscles and bones, and eating a bowl of fragrant beef soup, the four of them packed their bags and headed towards the Guge ruins.
This is the 1820s.
The Xixue area is relatively chaotic and is facing British invasion.
The government of Tibet controls part of Uizang and Xikang, similar to the current Tibet Autonomous Region.
Tibet continues to expand its military and deploys most of its troops in the Kham region. This also makes Tibet unable to effectively maintain its borders in the northern region.
A few years ago, in 1917, in the conflict in Kham, the Tibetan Gashagars won the victory and occupied Qamdo, Dege and other places.
The border of Tibet in Kham as delineated by the "Border-Tibet Armistice and Withdrawal Treaty" signed on August 19, 1918, is approximately bounded by the Jinsha River.
As the army continued to expand, the Kashag was unable to maintain the soaring military expenditures, and instead demanded huge taxes from the ninth Panchen Lama of Tashilhunpo Monastery in Tibet. After the Panchen Lama protested to no avail, he fled the mainland in December 1923.
These historical worlds are similar to the real world.
Wang Ye and others entered Tibet, and most of the herdsmen they saw were carrying shotguns and were very vigilant.
During this period, we also encountered a group of Tibetans who wanted to block the road and rob them. As a result, Wang Ye and others were fine, but the robbers were completely robbed.
There are good people and bad people in that place, and in a chaotic world, there are relatively more bad people.
The four of them got a few shotguns and horses, and they rode their horses and whipped their whips. The sky was blue and the breeze was blowing, which was quite satisfying.
When they arrived at a county town, Partridge Post hired a guide, a young lama named Wanda. According to Partridge Post, Wanda had read ancient scriptures and had done some research on the culture of the demon country.
When Wang first heard the name "Wanda", he immediately thought of the Scarlet Witch, but it was just the same name.
Wanda is twenty-five years old, has darker skin, looks thinner, and can speak Mandarin. She traveled around with her master when she was a child. She is well-informed and has knowledge of many Tibetan cultures.
Lu Ziye, who was also partridge whistler, met some masters in Tibet, so he was able to find Wanda, who understood the culture of the demon country, as a guide in a short period of time.
Originally, it was unethical to excavate ancient tombs, so the master was not willing to let Wanda lead the way for Partridge Whistle and the others at first.
But when they heard that Partridge Whistle and the others were going to dig up the ancient tombs of the Demon Kingdom, their attitude suddenly changed.
In the view of these lamas, the demons sealed in the tombs of the Demon Kingdom are a major threat to the people.
In history, there were many monks with advanced practices who wanted to eliminate evil spirits and protect the Dharma, and completely eradicate the ancient tombs in the evil country, so as to prevent the evil gods from returning to the world, but they suffered from the lack of any clues.
Now Wang Ye and others plan to search for the ruins of the Demon Kingdom. It is a good deed of immeasurable merit for them, so they are happy to see it succeed.
While purchasing supplies in the town, Wang Ye and the others met several foreign explorers.
They were said to be explorers, but Wang could smell their earthy smell from a long distance away.
Partridge Whistle and Wang Ye looked at each other and knew that these foreigners had probably just started robbing tombs.
In this chaotic era, there are countless tomb robbers, including Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai. Wang Ye and others have also robbed many tombs.
But Wang Ye was still very disgusted with foreigners robbing tombs.
Several people spoke in English. When Wang Ye bought yak jerky, he used the "Xunzi: Listen to the Wind Sing" to quietly guide specific vibrations in the air to his ears according to the planned route.
Through conversations with several people, Wang Ye, who was not good at English, could only get very little information.
For example, one of them is called Du Qi, who is the leader of the expedition team.
I just went to the tomb a few days ago and stole an ancient corpse and funerary objects.
The two groups met each other, and Du Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the jade pendant on Wang Ye's body.
He whispered a few words to his companion, walked towards Wang Ye, and said in Italian Chinese: "Hello, Taoist priest, my name is Du Qi, I am an explorer, nice to meet you."
Showing courtesy for nothing is either adultery or theft.
Seeing that the other party spoke Chinese well, Wang Ye said calmly: "How happy I am."
"..."
Du Qi was stunned for a moment and forced a smile: "Out of courtesy, shouldn't the Taoist Priest tell you your name?"
"hehe."
Wang didn't give Du Qi a good look. He was polite and looked at who was right. For people like Du Qi who went to the land of China to rob tombs, Wang didn't take action. It was considered restraint.
"Let's go."
Partridge Whistle didn't want to deal with these foreigners. He knew English and had introduced Western pastors to them, but they were enemies in the same group, not to mention they were from abroad.
He just wants to lift the Zagrama clan's curse as soon as possible, and doesn't want to cause trouble.
When a strong man next to Du Qi saw this, he got excited and shouted: "Chinese people are so rude. Did my boss let you go?"
While replying, he reached out his hand and was about to put his hand on Wang Ye's shoulder, trying to force him to stay.
As soon as the strong man made a move, Wang Ye noticed it and was about to take action when Du Qi called out to the strong man: "Hanks, forget it."
Wang Ye left without looking back, touching the partridge whistle on his waist and continuing to move forward calmly.
The strong man named Hanks looked at Du Qi and said in English: "Boss, why did you stop me?"
"There is a saying in the East that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. People here are hostile to us, and a fight would be detrimental to us."
Du Qi is a half-hand in China. He knows a lot about Chinese culture and is obsessed with Chinese cultural relics.
He had seen before that the jade pendant on Wang Ye was extraordinary, and he did not intend to give up so easily, but now was not the time.
the other side.
The partridge whistle whispered to Wang Ye: "We are being targeted."
"Depending on the situation, maybe we can let them explore the way for us." Wang Ye said calmly.
Wherever the loess doesn't bury people, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has good feng shui. If a few foreign devils dare to cause trouble, the king will dare to bury them.
When necessary, waste can be recycled.
After packing their things, Wang Ye and others rode on.
Du Qi and his group were hanging from a distance.
Seeing Wang Ye and others leaving the town and arriving in a deserted area, Du Qi still didn't give the order. Hanks asked doubtfully: "Boss, why don't you take action?"
"I just made an observation and found out that they are not locals, they should be tomb robbers. With the items purchased at the market, they probably found tombs."
Du Qi smiled and said: "There is a proverb in China, which is called the mantis stalking the cicada, followed by the oriole. If you follow them, you may have unexpected gains."
“The boss is wise.”
Several people following Du Qi started to flatter him.
Little did he know that their words had already spread to Wang Ye's ears along with the wind.
Wang was not in a hurry to take action, and he and the Partridge Whistle Dress were unaware that they were being followed, and continued to go to the Guge ruins at the foot of Mount Kailash as originally planned.
Along the way, Wanda will introduce the local customs and customs to Wang Ye and others.
