In the eyes of believers, faith is the spiritual support of survival.
The devil is born from the heart, and will become strong or weak due to the host's abilities. Gods and demons are intangible, which means that they are all invisible spiritual powers.
In the place close to the sky, the heights are very cold.
Our team camped around the Lingtai. Although it was very cold at night, it was still within the range we could bear. I regard all the illusions that appear on the spiritual platform as dreams.
When I wake up, everything is back to normal.
Before dawn, we had eaten dry food and loaded the supplies on horseback again. Captain Dewang took out the map and the compass to confirm the position. As soon as dawn, we continued on our way.
The roads we walked are very remote, uninhabited, and some places are covered with thick snow, vegetation along the way is sparse, and the rocks are mostly dark green, forming a monotonous pattern with the blue and white snow.
Zhuo Maji used his dagger to engrave marks along the way as he moved, while Na Mu Dacso would pile up nima piles on the side of the road or on flat places whenever he was free.
When we go to the top of the mountain, we will feel very uncomfortable. I feel chest tightness and shortness of breath. I can’t breathe. Dewang comforted me to slow down my breathing and don’t be nervous. This is altitude sickness, which is normal, but we don’t. Prepare oxygen. We are the only soldiers in our team who are not Tibetans, and Severe, who have received special training.
Because the night is long and the day is short, we only eat two meals a day, that is, one meal before dawn and one meal after dark. Now all the supplies are carried on horseback.
After we climbed a snowy ridge, a bottomless gorge appeared in front of us, flanked by mountains like knives and axes, standing on the edge of the gorge, it was frightening.
The canyon is unfathomable, like a demon and beast hidden.
Zhuo Maji and Lipp stopped the horse, Dewang took out the map and studied with Nam Datso, and the rest of the people took the opportunity to find a place to rest.
Strictly asked me to go together. Alemishe climbed up from the horse and saw the gorge in front, showing a frightened look. The black unicorn was busy guarding her in front of her.
"We may have to enter the bottom of the canyon, you have to be mentally prepared!" Strict whispered to me when it was convenient. I don't want to go to the bottom of the valley. If I can make a detour, I would rather go for a few more days.
When we returned to the canyon again, Dewang and Namdatso had already agreed and said to us: "The front is the Broken Dragon Grand Canyon, a canyon that only warriors dare to pass. We are all warriors out of a million. Fear?"
I looked into the canyon, then closed my eyes and saw a layer of black mist.
Severely asked Dewang: "Can we make a detour, this canyon is too deep, once we encounter danger at the bottom of the canyon, there will be nowhere to hide!"
Namu Dacuo comforted us: "Don’t worry. Although this gorge is unfathomable, some people have passed through it many times. Alimisha has passed through this gorge twice, and the black unicorn has also entered. It’s warm, and there are no beasts or birds of prey, it’s safer than taking a detour through the mountains."
Dewang asked me: "Comrade Xiao Yuan, are you afraid of entering this valley?"
I opened my eyes and answered hurriedly, "No, although I don't know about this canyon and I have never entered, I am not afraid."
Dewang looked sternly, and Deputy Yan Ban quickly explained: "I am not afraid of this gorge, but it is getting dark now. We might as well rest here for a night and wait until dawn for tomorrow."
Dewang quickly considered it and agreed, so we found a wide hillside, started unloading, and prepared dinner.
As soon as Lipu laid out the felt, Alemische lay down on it, curled up and began to fall asleep.
Zhuo Maji hurriedly asked her to get up for dinner, but Alimishe had already started to dream. Namudacuo and Dewang looked around the camp with a map and a compass. Lipu took out the alcohol stove and began to melt the snow. , We eat highland barley tsampa at night.
The journey of this trip is far away, so most of the materials we prepare are food and horse food on the road. Considering that there is no cow or horse dung on the way to start a fire, we switched to solid alcohol.
Drinking the tsampa paste of barley noodles, Na Mu Dacuo introduced to us: "This road is rarely walked by people, but it is the shortest way to cross the Himalayas to Tianzhu." Tianzhu is now India.
"According to the records of Alimishe when she was sober, her father and a group of warriors crossed the Broken Dragon Canyon, over the Himalayas, and traced them all the way to the border between India and Nepal, which was the last battlefield between them and the enemy." Continue to introduce, but did not reveal much useful information.
After dinner, Dewang routinely arranged us to watch the night. I was still the first one. The rest of the people chatted with me in a low voice and asked about my personal situation, but I didn’t want to say more, so I stood up and called Go to the surroundings together with the black unicorn.
This mastiff is usually very docile, but he only listens to Captain Dewang's orders. I called it today. It didn't refuse. It just looked back at the sleeping Alemische and followed me.
The mountain path is covered with a layer of snow, and it is a bit slippery to walk. We rarely see birds and beasts along the way, and I feel that this place is not suitable for living creatures.
Before I knew it, I took the black unicorn to the entrance of Broken Dragon Canyon, and looked down at night. It felt different from what I felt during the day. Because it was all dark, I was no longer afraid.
I closed my eyes and looked down again. This time, my eyes passed through the black fog and saw the steep and steep valley floor. There seemed to be water flowing inside, and large groups of black swans-like creatures were flying low.
If there are really birds at the bottom of the valley, then we will have meat to eat.
It seemed that there was no danger at the bottom of the valley, so I let go of my heart and returned to the camp with the black unicorn. Alimisha was still asleep, Strict hadn't slept yet, and was checking the weapons he was carrying.
I don't understand why we have to carry so many weapons, and they are still heavy weapons, are we going to fight
"Deputy Yan, I just went to the entrance of the canyon again. There doesn't seem to be any danger there, we can rest assured!"
Deputy Yan Ban put away the weapon, and said to me: "Don't underestimate the enemy, you should hurry up and rest, I'll watch the night!"
He made room and let me fall asleep wrapped in felt.
Alemische is right beside me, but this mad woman should know what secrets before going mad, what happened to them, which actually made the warriors mad, in her dream, I saw the confrontation between the heavenly soldiers and the devil. .
I will not enter her dreams for the time being, because I need to go into Broken Dragon Canyon to investigate carefully.
I walked too much during the day and my feet were rubbed and blistered, but there was no hot water to soak my feet here.
After entering the dream, my soul quickly left the body and rushed towards the entrance of the canyon.
At the entrance, I stopped and looked around. There was only my soul here. The surroundings were quiet, but there may be unknown dangers in the canyon. I took out the desert eagle from my arms and pulled down the magazine. I found that the bullets in the magazine were full again. This kind of ghost bomb can be made in reality, but I haven't mastered this technology yet.
The soul does not need a road, as long as it floats to the bottom of the valley.
After passing through the black fog, I heard the gurgling stream, and there was water at the bottom of the valley. Then there was the sound of flapping wings. A black bird flew towards me. I was surprised. This is not a black swan. It's a creature similar to a bat, and its eyes don't glow, so they must rely on echolocation and flight. (End of this chapter)
