The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 322 The Luminous Body

The three of us were overjoyed, and immediately blew the signal whistle. The sharp sound of the whistle quickly attracted the attention of Zhou Xuanye and Zhou Xuanye. Due to the angle of view, we could see them, but they couldn't see me. After blowing for a while, Tan Ren squatted down. The lower body found us.

They stood on the glacier that was difficult to get down on, and they couldn't make much movement. They just asked us where we were going.The original plan was to follow this crack to find the exit, but Zhou Xuanye said that they looked around with a telescope on the top, but they didn't see any other exits, so they might not be able to get out. For the present plan, they can only pull us out from here.

No one was equipped, and the place was too high and slippery, and it was impossible to climb out by hand.Zhou Xuanye came up with an idea, saying that he and Tan Ren went back to the camp to get the equipment, and told us to wait in place and not run around.Naturally, we had no objection, so we stayed where we were and waited for rescue.

The three of them have nothing to do, so naturally they just chat. Through communication, I know that Fatty Ma and Estelle are not very familiar. Their team is formed from all over the country. One, plus there are many weird and unpredictable legends, that's why they chose this area as their target. The journey into the mountain lasted for six days, and the end point was the lake hot spring that Xiao Yu told me about.

Estelle is an American who claims to be a traveler and has set herself the goal of traveling all over the world before the age of 50. I asked her where you have traveled, and she said: "China... XZ, Kunlun Snow Mountain."

Co-authoring this place is the first stop for her to travel around the world?This route is really weird. It seems that she intends to conquer Asia first, but according to Estelle's previous performance, she wants to travel all over the world alone, which is probably too much. I advise her to find a like-minded companion, or go some In a safe place, don't go into no-man's land, she said: "You Chinese really don't have any sense of adventure."

I said, "Why do people have to be adventurous? Isn't it good to be in a safe place?"

She looked shocked and looked at me in disbelief: "Why do people take risks? Of course... how could human beings not take risks? Our ancestors, driven by the spirit of adventure, were the first to approach fire; and then learned to use fire; They are constantly taking risks, capturing more ferocious prey and obtaining furs; the history of our human beings is an adventure. Chinese, you may not take risks, but you cannot say that taking risks is meaningless.”

Seriously, her words convinced me.

In the past six months, I have met many adventurers, and it was difficult for me to understand why some people would risk their lives in pursuit of excitement.But now I have to admit, this passage from estelle moved me.

The reason why human beings will continue to evolve is because our ancestors stepped out of the comfortable environment time and time again to challenge unknown dangers and obtain more generous prizes.Perhaps the blood and adventure factor in human bones are passed down from ancestors.

Fatty Ma applauded: "Yes, this is the spirit of adventure. Brother, why did you come here?"

Of course it is impossible to say this, I hesitated for a moment, thinking of telling a lie, but before I could say it, Fatty Ma stood up suddenly and said: "Tell me, where does this ice cave lead to?" ?”

I cut along his gaze. The end of the ice cave is a bend, which bends to the left, so it forms a blind angle of sight. I don't know what's going on behind it.

But I have to say that Americans are really an adventurous nation. We have just experienced a life-and-death test, and Estelle's active adventure factor is on fire.I couldn't help thinking deeply, could it be that the blood of Westerners is closer to the blood of human ancestors?
Do we Chinese really lack the spirit of adventure?When you think about it carefully, it seems true that risk means sacrifice, but it also means progress.I can't represent all Chinese people, but I am a very ordinary Chinese person, enjoying comfort, and some risky decisions are a big problem for me.

So, when Estelle excitedly said that she would go to the front to explore, I didn't stop her.People influence each other. I have to say that what Estelle just said gave me a lot of thinking. Maybe I should be more adventurous?
If a person is only curled up in a comfortable environment for a lifetime and no one is willing to face risks, then when danger really comes, what can we use to resist?

Facing danger, overcoming danger, challenge and progress may be the meaning of adventure.

So I said: "Let's go and see, BMW, you stay here and wait for us."

Fatty Ma's body is too strenuous, and he doesn't want to move at all right now, so he waved his hands and said, "Go, go, two adventurers, I'll just rest here for a while, I'm exhausted, and I haven't recovered yet." Now I followed Estelle, and the two continued to walk along the ice crevasse. When we turned the bend on the left, we saw that the front began to narrow. The location of the room has also completely disappeared, and the inside suddenly looks dark and gloomy.

Estelle didn't have a flashlight on her, so she squinted her eyes and looked in, "Is there a lighter?"

I took out the windproof lighter, and was about to light it, when suddenly, a shimmering white light suddenly appeared in a dim place in front of me.The light came so suddenly that both Estelle and I were taken aback.

"What's that?" Estelle took a step back slightly, observing carefully.

My eyesight is still good, I took a closer look, and was shocked to find that it seemed to be a white flower, the whole plant grew on the cracks in the ice wall, the snow-white roots under it could be clearly seen, the green calyx There are layers of white flowers, like lotus and chrysanthemum, the flower shape is elegant and refined, emitting soft white light in this dim glacier, which is very bizarre.

"This flower will shine." Estelle widened her eyes and moved forward cautiously.

How can a flower shine?

This thing looks a bit like Tianshan snow lotus. I went to Baozi Xishilin to return to Xue’s house as a guest. She has dried Tianshan snow lotus in her collection. The flower shape is very similar to this one, but it’s not like the one I saw in front of me. big.

Tianshan snow lotus is produced in the XJ and XZ areas, and generally lives at an altitude of more than 3000 meters, and some species also live at an altitude of about [-] meters. At present, some simple species of snow lotus in Tianshan can be cultivated artificially, but many wild heterogeneous species are hard to find.

According to Lin Huixue, there are currently [-] known species of snow lotus, and the one she has in her collection is not among the [-] species, it is said to be her ancestral inheritance.

I looked at this glowing flower, and said to myself: Could this thing also be a snow lotus?Our current location is about 4000 above sea level. It is not impossible, but this is the first time I have heard of a flower that glows.

At this time, Estelle said: "I only know that Cuba's 'Queen of the Night' can glow, but I didn't expect you to have this kind of plant in China. It's amazing." While speaking, she had the courage to squat down on the plant that looks like snow lotus in front of.

I followed and found that the light of this plant is not always bright, but like a firefly, flickering on and off, and the glowing parts are not the petals, but the inner green stamens. Estelle immediately said: "Ah, look, it is also the place where the pistil is glowing, maybe it is the same principle as Queen of the Night's glow."

I said, "What is the Queen of the Night?"

"It's a kind of flower from Cuba. The stamen contains phosphorus and it glows at night. This should be a new species. We have to record it so that we can obtain its naming rights." Many species are named after their discoverers. , maybe the name of this plant will be called: Su Tian Gu Xuelian?Or Estelle Saussurea?

This seemed a little unreliable, I said: "We didn't bring a camera, don't think about it, go back." There is still a road ahead of us, but the whole crack is radial, and we are walking in the opposite direction, so the further we go The front is narrower.

At this moment, I lit the lighter, and by the light source of the lighter, I can see that the front is narrower, and there is no need to go forward, and I reckon that Zhou Xuanye and the others are about to come back.

When Estelle heard that she couldn't record this plant, she felt very disappointed, and said: "Maybe there will be no second chance to come to this place again, what a pity, goodbye Xiaohua." She said goodbye to the plant that resembled snow lotus, and reluctantly She followed me back, and said to me as I walked: "Look, if we don't have curiosity and adventure, we will miss this magical thing..." She didn't say the last word, Because at the moment we turned around, we suddenly saw a kind of gleaming white light glowing on the ice walls on both sides behind us, exactly the same as the snow lotus-like plant!
For a moment, Estelle was dumbfounded, and we looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, but I immediately realized that the reason why the plant glowed was not because it itself glowed, but because it had a certain connection with the surrounding ice wall.

Just this time, the sound of a signal whistle came from far away, and the rhythmic tone was conveying the signal for us to gather.

"The glacier...will glow?" Estelle stammered, her voice, which was originally inaccurate, became even weirder.

I also find it strange, but now, it seems meaningless to study why the ice wall glows. The most important thing is to join Zhou Xuanye and the others and climb out of this place.So I gave Estelle a hand and dragged her away who was full of curiosity.
