Chapter 22: Legend of the Undead in the Book of the Dead (22)
Yelena didn't panic, she smiled slightly, and asked Han Jiang: "Don't your Chinese police know how to fly planes?"

"As I said, I've been in the army before."

"Then I'll tell you the truth, my knife-throwing skill is a little self-defense technique my father taught me, and it's specially used to deal with bad guys."

"Oh! Such a powerful self-defense technique for women? In this way, Mr. Makarov not only knows how to fly a plane, but also has first-class kung fu!" Han Jiang brought the topic to Makarov.

"I learned a little kung fu in the army before, so I taught it to Yelena. Yelena grew up with me in the army. She can not only throw knives, but also shoot guns very accurately. You know, the law and order in Russia has been bad these years. I only She is such a daughter, so I taught her basically everything I know." Makarov said very calmly.

Han Jiang was still suspicious, but Makarov's answer made him unable to catch any flaws.When Han Jiang was at a loss, Tang Feng came out to smooth things over: "Okay, let's talk about what to do next."

"What to do! Keep going, everyone hurry up and go to bed now!" Han Jiang said, lying straight in the grass.

"It's so cold at night, if we sleep here, I'm afraid we'll catch a cold tomorrow." Xu Renyu muttered.

"Yeah! How do you sleep!" Liang Yuan, who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, has never suffered this kind of pain.

Makarov smiled and said, "Of course I can't sleep like Han. I have a little idea. First find some pebbles from the stream."

Everyone was puzzled, except for Han Jiang who did not move, several other people moved a lot of pebbles from the stream, Makarov said to everyone: "First roast these pebbles on the fire, and at the same time, each of us Dig a pit about the size of your own body, put hot pebbles into the pit, and cover the pebbles with fine sand from the stream, so that you can lie in the pit and sleep, it will be much warmer.”

Everyone followed Makarov's method, and it was much warmer.Han Jiang had no choice but to make a hole for himself according to Makarov's method, and then lay down in it, and then fell asleep peacefully.

Everyone was too tired. This night, Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan and Xu Renyu all slept soundly.Early the next morning, Tang Feng woke up first, stretched his waist, and sighed: "I never thought I could sleep so well in the wild..."

Tang Feng stopped abruptly before he finished speaking. He looked at the two shallow pits in front of him in surprise, and suddenly shouted, "Yelena and Makarov are gone?"

Tang Feng's cry woke up Han Jiang, Liang Yuan and Xu Renyu. Han Jiang opened his eyes and saw that Yelena and Makarov had disappeared.He checked their respective equipment, and there was nothing missing that belonged to them, while Yelena and Makarov's things were all gone. "I've seen something wrong with them!" Han Jiang muttered to himself.

"It seems that the two of them left by themselves, and they should have left for a while!" Tang Feng judged.

"Then shall we go after them?" Xu Renyu asked.

"They don't want to be with us, and we go after them, what a shame!" Han Jiang said angrily.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Liang Yuan asked Han Jiang timidly: "What should we do now?"

"Don't worry about them, keep going!"

The four of them tidied up and started on the road again. It was another day of mountain roading. Before night fell, they climbed over the last big mountain and finally saw a little bit of light below the mountain. "It seems to be a small town." Tang Feng said in surprise.

"We finally came out!" Xu Renyu slumped on the mountain ridge.

The four continued to head down the mountain, and after an hour, they walked onto a road.They wanted to stop a car, but there was no sign of the car on the road, so the four had no choice but to continue walking on two legs.After walking for about a hundred meters, Han Jiang suddenly found a sign on the side of the road. He excitedly used a flashlight to shine it on it, but just by looking at it, his mood dropped to freezing point, and he saw that the sign said—" The Shanhong Road is destroyed and is being repaired!"

When everyone saw this sign, they were immediately discouraged. Xu Renyu sighed: "After finally getting out, the road was destroyed again. I really can't stand it!"

"Check to see if the phone has a signal!" Tang Feng remained calm despite being disappointed.

But when everyone took out their mobile phones to take a look, they found that everyone's mobile phones were dead at the moment.Hungry, thirsty and tired, coupled with great disappointment, Han Jiang was almost speechless. He pointed hard to the dots of light flashing in front of the road, so everyone continued to drive forward, not knowing what was ahead. Where?However, it was finally smoked.As the light became clearer and clearer, some warm confidence was still ignited in everyone's hearts, and the pace under their feet quickened.

[Section [-] Langmusi Temple]

1
As night fell, Tang Feng and his entourage finally saw the quiet town at the foot of the mountain. There was a lonely sign on the side of the road with the words "Langmusi" written on it.

"Langmusi, what is this place?" Han Jiang stared at the sign and asked.

Tang Feng wondered: "If I remember correctly, Langmusi is a small town located at the junction of Sichuan and Gansu. It was not well-known at first, but a group of foreign backpackers came here a few years ago and were impressed by the unique plateau scenery here. , Qiang-Tibetan customs, shocked as a paradise, so Langmusi was called "Oriental Little Switzerland". Therefore, Langmusi Town has become a tourist destination that backpackers at home and abroad are flocking to. They will flock here. But why is it so deserted now?"

"What's so strange about this, it's the off-season for tourism!" Xu Renyu said, staring at the dimly flickering lights of the small town ahead.

"Langmusi Temple? Is there a temple here?" Liang Yuan asked Tang Feng curiously.

Tang Feng explained: "The 'Langmusi' mentioned here is not the name of the temple, but a place name, but there are indeed temples here, and there are two more. One is the "Andada Cang Langmusi" located at the end of Gansu. "Mu" means "fairy" in Tibetan, so it is named because there are stones standing like girls in the nearby canyon caves; the other temple is "Gerdi Temple" on the Sichuan side. The two temples are in the same town, It is a spectacle that both belong to the Gelug Sect monastery of the Yellow Sect but belong to two provinces."

"Looks like we can have some fun here by the way." Liang Yuan laughed.

"Come on, how can I be in the mood to play now!" Tang Feng said.

Han Jiang looked at the small town ahead, and asked Tang Feng again: "I'm just wondering, how did we get here?"

"Don't think so much, we can get in touch with the outside world after entering the town, and we can also take a good rest, let's go!" Tang Feng urged.

Han Jiang didn't say anything.He glanced at the little lights flashing in the small town in front of him again, and accelerated his pace.

Everyone walked into the town, and the town looked very deserted. A crooked street passed through the town. Most of the shops on both sides of the street were closed and closed. There was only one dim street lamp standing alone on the side of the street.Tang Feng and the others walked on the street for more than ten minutes, but they didn't see a single person.When Han Jiang was wondering, Liang Yuan suddenly found that there was a shop on the corner of the street ahead with the lights on and it was opening for business.

"Looks like a coffee shop?" Tang Feng asked suspiciously.

After finishing speaking, Tang Feng, Liang Yuan, and Xu Renyu, who were already exhausted, broke into this cafe called "Sasha" without asking Han Jiang for instructions.Han Jiang was carrying a big bag, and reluctantly followed behind the three of them, and walked in too.Walking into the store, Han Jiang immediately scanned the cafe with sharp eyes.The cafe is not big, there is a big world map on the wall, which is full of messages from donkey friends from all over the world.Unexpectedly, a small cafe has such a reputation.However, at this time, the business in the cafe was deserted. Except for the boss and the four uninvited guests who broke in suddenly, there was only one female tourist sitting in the corner, drinking coffee alone.

Han Jiang sat across from the female tourist and sized up the girl opposite. This girl looked about the same age as Liang Yuan, but much more mature than Liang Yuan.When Han Jiang thought of this, the girl on the opposite side also spotted him, and asked first, "Where are you from?"

"From Beijing." Han Jiang replied.

After carefully looking at Han Jiang, Tang Feng, Liang Yuan and others, the girl said nonchalantly: "Looking at the famous brands all over your body, you must be rich people. It seems that we are not the same way."

Han Jiang didn't expect the girl to say that, and he didn't know how to answer in embarrassment.He was stunned for a long time before replying: "Look at me, I'm so dirty, I don't look like a rich man!"

"This just shows that you are rich, so you don't cherish it. Only you can wear famous brands to look like this."

Han Jiang didn't want to tell the girl they just met what happened along the way, so he shook his head helplessly and said, "It seems that I can't talk to you, at least I'm not rich, look, my few Friends, especially that kid." As he spoke, Han Jiang pointed to Tang Feng who was not far away, "This kid once spent tens of millions on a piece of art at an auction!"

"Oh? Sure enough, he is a rich man!" The girl said calmly, and then glanced at Tang Feng who was not far away.

Han Jiang watched the girl across from him with sharp eyes, especially when he deliberately said that Tang Feng spent tens of thousands of dollars at the auction, but the girl's reaction made Han Jiang unable to find any flaws!Han Jiang smiled, and said again: "Look at this kid, he just got lucky recently. The girl next to him is actually chasing this kid."

"Hmph!" The girl snorted softly, and said again, "However, your friend looks pretty good."

Now it was Han Jiang's turn to be disdainful, and he thought to himself why Tang Feng is so attractive to women, even a woman thinks he is good!Han Jiang calmed down and asked the girl again: "Haven't I asked your name yet?"

"My name is Zhou Nannan. I'm from Shanghai. You can call me Nannan!" Nannan finally showed a smile on his face.

"My name is Han Jiang." After Han Jiang finished introducing himself, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan also came over and introduced themselves. Of course, they concealed everything that Cain had gone.However, in any case, five people, this is considered to be an acquaintance.

The four of them filled their stomachs in the small cafe, and heard Nan Nan tell a lot about traveling alone. Liang Yuan said enviously: "I really envy you. You came here from Shanghai alone. So many places."

"You can go too!"

"I dare not go so far alone!"

"Aren't you protected by such a tall and handsome boyfriend?" Nan Nan glanced at Tang Feng while speaking.

"He's not my boyfriend, he wants to get rid of me." Liang Yuan had an innocent expression on her face.

The two girls talked very speculatively, completely ignoring Tang Feng's feelings.Han Jiang remained vigilant, paying attention to everything around him.He didn't find anyone suspicious, but he always felt that there were two eyes staring at them in the dark. "Maybe I'm thinking too much." However, the more he thought about it, the feeling became stronger.

"Do you know the celestial burial platform here?" Nan Nan asked suddenly, drawing Han Jiang's attention back.

"What sky burial platform?" Han Jiang asked curiously.

Nan Nan said: "When I came to Langmusi, apart from visiting the temples here, I also came to see the celestial burial platform here. The celestial burial platform here is very famous."

"Sky burial is a unique burial custom of the Tibetans. After a person dies, the corpse is placed on the celestial burial platform. After being handled by the celestial burial master, the vultures will eat the corpse." Tang Feng explained.

"So scary?" Liang Yuan and Xu Renyu said in surprise at the same time, causing the owner in the bar to glance at them.

"Yes! Han people generally don't understand celestial burials. Han people believe that keeping the body intact is in line with filial piety. But Tibetans believe that after death, the soul and body have been separated, and the body is useless. It is dedicated to vultures, and vultures are A kind of divine bird, after eating the body of the deceased, they will fly high into the sky and bring the soul of the deceased to heaven. Therefore, sky burial is also called 'bird burial', and in the eyes of Tibetans, sky burial is extremely sacred " Nan Nan's explanation made Liang Yuan understand the sky burial a little bit.

"Is there a celestial burial platform here?" Tang Feng asked Nan Nan.

Nan Nan nodded: "There is a famous celestial burial platform here, which is said to be the largest in the Anduo area."

"But when I went to Tibet, the celestial burial towers there were not allowed to visit." Tang Feng wondered.

"The celestial burials in Tibet are not allowed to be visited, but the celestial burials here are allowed to be visited. The locals don't seem to shy away from these, and you have come by coincidence. There will be a funeral on the celestial burial tomorrow morning."

"Ah! So, we can witness the sky burial." Xu Renyu was surprised, and suddenly felt a churning in his stomach.

"That's right! So tomorrow morning, I'm going to go to the celestial burial platform." Nan Nan said firmly.

Liang Yuan was a little scared, "Nan Nan, you are so brave, I dare not go."

"There is nothing to be afraid of. You should regard the sky burial as a sacred ceremony. You must know that you can see sky burials not everywhere, nor at any time. If you can see them, you are lucky." Nan Nan's childish face was full of anticipation.

Although Tang Feng felt a little nauseous, his curiosity and interest in the mysterious sky burial far outweighed his inner fear. He was determined to go to the sky burial platform with Nan Nan early tomorrow morning to get a glimpse of it!Seeing that Tang Feng was going, Liang Yuan also had the courage to say that she would go.Xu Renyu is also interested in going to National Taiwan University for sky burial.The four looked at Han Jiang again. Han Jiang spread his hands and said with a smile, "You guys are fine, and I'm fine."

Therefore, the five people agreed that the next morning, they would go to the celestial burial platform to see what happened!

Nan Nan took Tang Feng and the others to the small hotel where she lived, but when they arrived, the small hotel was already closed.Nan Nan knocked on the door of the small hotel, but there was no movement inside.

"Why is it so deserted here now?" Tang Feng suddenly asked Zhou Nannan curiously.

"Because the tourist season is already past, this is a mountainous area after all, and once September passes, the temperature will drop sharply, and there will be very few tourists here. With fewer tourists, most people who used to do business here have also evacuated. After Zhou Nannan finished explaining, she knocked hard on the door of the small hotel, but there was still no response from inside.

"Maybe the boss is out?" Xu Renyu guessed.

As soon as Xu Renyu finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from the small hotel.After a while, a yawning old man opened the door.The old man looked to be in his 60s, wearing an old-fashioned blue tunic suit.The old man poked his head out and looked out.He glanced suspiciously at the strangers outside the door one by one. When the old man saw Zhou Nannan, a smile finally appeared on his wrinkled face, and he said, "It's so late, I didn't see you coming back, I thought you weren't coming back Woolen cloth!"

"How could it be? Look, I brought you a few more guests." Zhou Nannan pointed to Tang Feng and the others and said.

"Welcome, welcome!" The old man greeted Tang Feng and the others stiffly.

Tang Feng looked at the environment of this small hotel, and then asked the old man, "Can I use your phone? Our phone is dead."

"Telephone? What a coincidence that you are here. In the past few days, the telephone lines here have broken down, and the calls are always up and down. Try it!" At this moment, the smile on the old man's face has disappeared.

Tang Feng looked at the old man suspiciously, went straight to the service desk, and dialed the phone. As the old man said, there was a busy tone on the other end of the phone.Tang Feng put down the phone and shook his head helplessly at Han Jiang.Han Jiang frowned, and said in a low voice, "I tried it in that cafe just now, and the phone didn't work, it's really strange!"

"After finally getting out, we still can't get in touch! We are really unlucky!" Xu Renyu complained.

"Nannan, can you lend us your phone?" Tang Feng turned to Zhou Nannan for help.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Nannan spread her arms and said, "Unfortunately, I lost my phone on the way, and I want to ask you to borrow it!"
