After walking for about five or six days, the dark green grass gradually faded away, and what appeared in front of us were not-steep cliffs and an extremely open river.
The combination of the river and the mountain forest formed an open river valley, which was full of purple flowers and was very beautiful.
This big river should be the Brahmaputra River on the map. When we get here, we have almost reached Linzhi.
The mountain doesn't look very steep, but it's not easy to walk on. There are often mountain crevices hidden in it. The depth is unknown and very hidden. Even Jing Yue accidentally fell down once.
When we arrived at the river valley, we could already see residents and houses.
Jing Yue and the eldest lady asked them some questions, but they couldn't understand them. It wasn't until they arrived at the only inn here that they finally started talking to someone.
In this area, only the boss and the waiters can understand what they say. In the boss's words, the grassland has been so restless recently. In the past, there were fewer merchants coming, so business seemed deserted.
Jing Yue and the eldest lady did not stay at the hotel, but just had a good meal. After that, they asked for directions and continued on their way.
After walking through this open river valley, the scenery in front of us suddenly became full of layers.
The snow-capped mountains in the distance cast a golden reflection under the sunlight, and under the snow-capped mountains were snow-covered woods, then shrubs, and then meadows.
In short, all kinds of completely different styles are distributed here according to levels, which seems very rich.
On the way to Medog, the weather was also particularly rich.
When it's sunny, it's so hot that people want to run naked, and the sun scorches them to death. From time to time, it rains heavily and then clears up. But after nightfall, it's so cold that people want to wear quilts, or hug their eldest daughter to keep warm.
During the few days' journey, the two of them seemed to be experiencing all kinds of weather in four seasons every day.
This extreme weather change, coupled with the long journey, made the cold poison in Jingyue's body become more active, so that his old habit of coughing relapsed.
Since he became successful in cultivation, Jing Yue has rarely been troubled by such things.
It can only be said that the weather in this area is indeed not suitable for human survival.
In other words, it is not suitable for people like Jing Yue to survive.
As we approached Medog, the originally rich landscape gradually became monotonous.
The most here are snow, lakes, and snow-capped mountains in the distance.
The snow-capped mountains in the distance that can only be seen on particularly clear days are the Kunlun Mountains.
The map in Jing Yue's hand was initially very detailed, but after entering the XZ realm, it became extremely simple, even crude.
Jing Yue guessed that the environment here was such that the people who originally drew the map did not want to, or were unable to understand it in depth.
It's like a writer who is initially in a good state, in a good mood, and writes extremely fluently. But later on, when writing becomes more difficult, coupled with a bad mood and passion fades, there is only one way to deal with it, as long as he can complete the task. , no longer elaborate.
Jing Yue even felt that before entering the high mountains and grasslands, the person who drew the map completed the work in a happy mood while traveling around the mountains and rivers. But at the back, especially here in Medog, he basically wanted to finish the task and hurry up. leave.
To be honest, Jing Yue didn't like this realm very much either.
There was snow everywhere, and he couldn't find a good place to eat dry food. Before, he could roll on the grassland with the eldest lady. Rolling in the snow here was probably similar to huskies fighting in the snow, so he didn't think about it. try.
To go to Zanghai Temple, you must first go to another temple marked on this map, Maben Temple.
This can be said to be one of the few points on Medog on the map, located on a snow mountain.
Along the way, Jing Yue and the eldest lady hardly saw any living people.
It was not easy to see one, but they couldn't understand the language. After dancing for a long time and using the map, the two of them were able to identify the direction.
The snow-capped mountain where Maben Temple is located is not very high, but it is very steep. Sometimes stepping on those rough stone steps is like stepping on a ladder to the sky.
When walking in a place like this, one's eyes will see a lot of things
Very monotonous, either ice or snow.
Finally, at the top of the mountain, wisps of colorful prayer flags were moving in the wind, one of the few bright colors.
Mabeng Temple has arrived.
Viewed from here, the top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the ice reflects light. Maben Temple is not in the sky, but almost in the sky.
Those who can stay in the temple on the top of this snow-capped mountain are basically lamas who have achieved success in asceticism.
There were not many people, only four or five.
Their faces are all covered with wind and frost, eroded by real wind and frost, but also by time.
For example, the middle-aged lama in front of him who looked forty-five years old claimed that he was only twenty years old, which surprised Jing Yue and the eldest lady.
According to the directions on the map, standing at Maben Temple facing the rising sun, you can see a gap in the iceberg in the distance.
That gap is the entrance to Zanghai Temple.
Hearing that Jingyue and the eldest lady were going to Zanghai Temple, the expression of the young lama who received them suddenly became solemn, and he recited a spell that neither of them understood.
However, he did not stop the two of them, but instead looked at them with a hint of awe in their eyes.
According to the lama, anyone who dares to go there is a brave person, and those who can drive away the evil there are those who are cared for by the Buddha.
But to get there, you really can only determine the specific direction when the sun rises over the snow-capped mountains on a clear day.
According to the lama, no one has been there for many years. He asked the master and there was no better way.
Jing Yue and the eldest lady can only live here temporarily.
I have to say that the temple that looks like it is in the sky is not beautiful from the outside. The building is very narrow and dilapidated.
From top to bottom, there is only one staircase that can only accommodate one person. The wall of the house is separated by a cliff, and people seem to live in the sky.
The wing room where Jing Yue and the eldest lady lived could be said to be ventilated, and the quilt was very hard. Jing Yue always felt that if he swung it, he could kill someone.
Unfortunately, it was raining and snowing for three consecutive days, so they could only continue to stay here.
However, living in this bitterly cold place is not without fun. In addition to being able to feel the extreme cold at high places, Jing Yue can also experience what it means to fly down three thousand feet.
The huts here are made of broken boards. Below the squatting position is an empty cliff. If you urinate on it, you can clearly see the urine falling into the clouds and mist below. In short, it has a special sense of beauty.
This feeling is very refreshing, and I am afraid this is also the reason why many experts like to live high up.
Of course, the pleasure of peeing at high places does not come without side effects, that is, freezing birds.
On the fourth day, Jingyue and the eldest lady, who had been waiting for four days, finally waited for a sunny day.
In the early morning, they cuddled together and saw a golden sun rising from the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
As a result, the originally dark human world suddenly became colorful, and then they also saw the entrance.
