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

Chapter 331 Dolma Cuo
Due to the low altitude in this area, there is no such a large area of ​​deep snow. At first glance, there are bare stones, only scattered white snow, and occasionally some low shrubs, also called Can't name it.

At this moment, Tan Ren had already run to the young man, and seemed to be talking about something, and after a while, he saw the young man turned his head, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point to us.

Estelle blinked and said, "sir Sue, he seems to be referring to you."

I'm not blind, of course I can see that the man is pointing at me, and I don't know what he is pointing at me to tell Tan Ren. After a while, the man stood up, supported the rock with his hands, and jumped from the high stone Then, he reached into the Tibetan robe, grabbed a handful of things, handed them to Tan Ren who jumped down, and then stood still.

Tan Ren came back with the thing, and opened his hand to look, I found that what he was holding in his hand was something that looked like jade but not jade, or stone but not stone. Each one was about the size of a bullet and was black. In the light of the setting sun, arc light is slightly reflected.

"What is this?" Zhou Xuanye stared and asked.

Tan Ren distributed the stones to us and said, "Wear it and you won't be disturbed. I asked that kid, he is from Little Fusang." As soon as he said this, except for Fatty Ma and Estelle who didn't know, Both Zhou Xuanye and I were stunned.Although this speculation has been made for a long time, when it was confirmed, I still felt a little incredible.It was so easy for us to meet someone from Little Fusang?And this guy looks pretty good.

After a pause, Tan Yan said again: "He said that this road is very dangerous, if we want to go, we can follow behind him."

Zhou Xuanye frowned and said, "What does he do?"

Tan Ren said: "You have a weird personality, so I can't ask anything. But..." He suddenly looked at me and said, "That kid has a good impression of you, Su Tiangu, are you behind my back again? What the hell are you doing?" I have to say, Tan Ren really understands me.I laughed dryly and said, "Probably I got him something to eat."

Hearing the words, Tan Ren revealed an appearance as expected, and closed his cuffs.Most people like to roll up their sleeves before a fight, it's so convenient.But Tan Ren, who is a person who is obsessed with cleanliness, always puts his hands fully armed when he wants to do something.When I saw his movements, I knew that this guy was about to get rough, so I immediately hid behind Zhou Xuanye, changed the subject, and said, "Boss, this stone is quite useful, and my head doesn't hurt so much."

Estelle nodded approvingly, and played with the thing in her hand, with an amazing expression of surprise.

Zhou Xuanye looked in the direction of the young man, folded his arms around his chest, touched his chin, and said, "He is from Little Fusang, but he lives in an igloo. Could it be that those fire lotus are from the people of Little Fusang? "

I said, "It's very possible."

Fatty Ma was puzzled, and said, "What is the purpose of Fusang you are talking about?"

I said, "It's the people you mentioned living by the holy lake."

"Oh." He looked suddenly enlightened, and when he realized it, he almost jumped up, and said, "The kid in red is from Little Fusang? Isn't all of them dead? There are still people alive?" Then , He didn't know what to think of, suddenly beat his chest and stamped his feet, and said: "It's over, it's over, it seems that the legend about the treasure of the holy lake is false."

Estelle asked: "How do you know it's fake?"

Fatty Ma looked distressed, and said: "You are stupid, if there is a treasure, that kid will have such a miserable life? Do you have to ask for a pack of expired compressed biscuits?"

"What you said seems to make sense." Estelle answered with a serious expression.

We are not interested in whether there are treasures in the holy lake. The only thing we are interested in is the hibiscus branch. I asked: "Boss, did you ask him about the hibiscus branch?" The people at Yumen are much friendlier, maybe they can ask something.

After I finished asking, Tan Ren was silent for a while, and then replied after a while: "He said yes."

Zhou Xuanye asked: "What else did you say? Is he willing to help us?"

Tan Ren let out a long breath, and said: "He said it's not difficult, no problem. But I think he agreed too readily, don't you think there is something wrong with this person?" Zhou Xuanye frowned and thought for a while, and finally said: "Yes There is no solution to the problem, let's take a step and see, let's follow him."

In the following time, everyone's itinerary can be said to be without any danger.There are indeed many dangers hidden in this place, but the young man seems to be very familiar with this place, and he can always avoid dangers. In the next few days, he didn't say a single word to us at all.

At first it was Estelle who was curious about him and tried to talk to him, but was completely ignored.In the end, when Estelle got a little tight, the young man stopped and glanced at her. After a while, Estelle ran back patted his chest, and said, "His eyes are so scary."

Along the way, if there were any accidents, it was about the fourth day when we encountered a snowstorm. The man looked up at the sky and took us into a cave with familiarity.This was the only close contact. I thought about taking turns to rest and let him sleep in the sleeping bag, but after I proposed it, the other party shook his head and lifted a corner of his clothes to show me to touch it.I squeezed it, and suddenly felt a burst of warmth, more comfortable than getting into a sleeping bag.

After careful inspection, it turned out that the Tibetan robe he was wearing was not sewn with pieces of cloth, but rather some kind of animal leather. Although it was not thick, it was very warm.I subconsciously asked what flat was made of, and he said: "Snow ghost." Snow ghost is his name for the monster that shuttles in the snow. I didn't expect the skin of those things to have such an effect. No wonder the people of Little Fusang can survive in this freezing weather, there really is a way.

This was the only conversation we had in the four days. As we walked, we would get some slender fish that are unique to the snowy area to eat from time to time. Due to the altitude, the water could not be boiled, and the fish could only be half-cooked. , but the fish itself is very delicate, after being boiled in snow water, there is not even a little fishy smell, and the taste is very good.

When we first started fishing, we were worried that that person would object. After all, no matter whether the people in Xiaofusang are Tibetans or not, they live in the snow area. What if they keep the living customs of the snow area and don’t eat fish?But later it turned out that all of this was overthinking. Except for wearing a Tibetan robe, that kid didn't have all the taboos of Tibetans, and he could even eat anything.At first everyone was not used to eating half-raw fish, but he took a big mouthful and was the first to finish it.

At this time, the route we were taking had already surpassed the map drawn by Team Zeng. At this time, our only guide was that young man. We would go wherever he took us. Along the way, Zhou Xuanye kept going Marking and supplementing the map in our hands.

On the morning of the fifth day, we finally saw the beautiful lake that Team Zeng had always been obsessed with.

At this time, we have entered a glacier belt, and we don't know which season the glacier is left over from, it is larger than the area where the fire lotus grew.At a glance, layers of blue ice hide their heads and tails in the mist, making people feel as if they have entered a dangerous situation made of ice and snow.

At this moment, there are glaciers on both sides, and you can’t see the head when you look up, you can only see the white mist, and the back is the direction we came from. The altitude has been decreasing, and there is a lake mixed with glaciers in front.

The lake is very big. If we want to go there, we either have to learn from geckos and climb over the ice walls on both sides, or we can only cross the water.There is no rock in this place, let alone a bit of soil. The lake is surrounded by glaciers, and it is as calm as a mirror. The surrounding glaciers do not leave a shadow in this mirror of the same color.

The occasional cold wind will make the lake slightly rippling, and the rippling lake water gently hits the ice wall, and the sunlight penetrates them completely, forming an indescribable beauty.It seems that this world has been so beautiful and peaceful since ancient times.

This kind of beauty is not the kind of dazzling beauty, but a kind of beauty that penetrates time and space, as if it can take you back to the original appearance of this world in an instant, through thousands of years.

The lake stretched away, just like the ice walls on both sides, completely invisible. At the end of the line of sight, there was a white mist, which made the front present a feeling of whiteness.

Fatty Ma and Estelle were already stunned, only listening to Fatty Ma muttering to himself: "It's not in vain, this trip is really not in vain, it's worth it." Relieved from the ancient beauty.

Although I carry diving equipment, but such a large lake, I am afraid that it would be difficult to swim there.

That man belongs to Little Fusang, I don't believe he has to swim in and out of Little Fusang?
Compared with the shock of the five of us as bumpkins entering the city, the young man was indifferent to this. He had already walked to the edge of the lake and gestured to us to follow.When I reached the edge of the lake, I subconsciously looked down. I thought I could see my own shadow, but there was not even a blurry shadow in the lake.

Fatty Ma also noticed it, hissed, and said: "Hey, this water is really strange, there is no shadow at all." While speaking, he stretched out his hand.My follower and I stretched out our hands and kept shaking on the lake, trying to find an angle where we could cast a shadow.

At this time, the young man said: "Dolma Cuo, that is what you call the holy lake." After staying in the snow area for more than a month, I still understand some simple Tibetan meanings.Dolma means 'Tara', and Tara is the title of the goddess believed by Tibetans.In other words, the lake in front of us can be called Tara Lake, or Fairy Lake, Goddess Lake.

Fatty Ma got along these days, and he saw that the young man's temper was actually pretty good, and he was a little flattered by his nose, so he immediately asked, "Why is it called Zhuomacuo? There are beautiful women in this lake?"

The young man actually nodded: "Yes, those who are predestined can see it."

Fatty Ma rubbed his nose and said, "It's so mysterious... you live across the lake? How do you get there?"
