Lantern: Reflection Of The Peach Blossoms - Chapter 41
Nepal.
Everest, 6,500 meters on the snow line.
A mountaineering team camped in the leeward position above the glacier. Several members sat around the smokeless furnace to rest and check the shooting equipment to heat the dehydrated beef dedicated to the march.
Not far away, the young guide walked out of the tent and walked to the edge of the glacier cliff.
He wore a traditional hood with only a pair of deep eyes, and his entire face from the bridge of his nose was covered by yellow bandages, leaving only a gap in his mouth.
His height is only medium, but his size is extremely rare. There is a kind of fierce and sturdy peculiar to the ethnic minorities living near the plateau snow line. The pace on the walking ice field is steady and solid, like a silent and powerful snow leopard.
He walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the towering peaks of the snow all year round in the distance, and leaned over.
“I said he would come out,” a team of climbers at the fireside debugged the camera without looking up: “Salute the mountain every 500 meters. I don’t know if it’s their Sherpa tradition. I heard that they Guan Everest called mom…”
“Da Liu!” The captain scolded: “Say less!”
Da Liu didn’t care to smile.
Not far away, a female player bit her lip, took a can of beef, and got up and walked towards the teenager.
“Hey, that… Aga, would you like to eat something? It will take a lot of energy to return to–”
After the wizard finished, he stood silent for a moment before turning to look at her.
His entire face was covered by bandages, but his brow bones were deep, his eyes were extremely bright, and he had an eagle-like look on the snowfield.
When the female player was stunned, he saw that he shook his head, sat cross-legged on the snow, and drew a bite of dry food from his arms.
“Aga…”
“I don’t eat your food.” The boy’s voice was hoarse, “Thank you.”
The female player was a little embarrassed, but when he saw that the dry food in his hands was black, both dry and tough beef products and a bit like rubber, he couldn’t help wondering: “What are you? Is it traditional Nepalese food?”
“No,” the teenager didn’t look up. “It’s snake meat.”
“——Snake meat?!”
Several players turned their heads in amazement, but the young man bit the mouth of the dried jerky like no one else, and swallowed hardly seeing how he chewed.
The female team member was full of shock and curiosity, and wanted to ask, but saw the teenager facing the distant mountain top, as if no one around him existed.
After hesitating for a moment, she still patted the snow and sat down beside him, learning how to look like him and making a rush to the mountain, and leaning down for a long while religiously, she smiled and said, “Is this the way you pray?”
The teenager stopped swallowing and stared at her **** with a strange look.
“I… I heard that Everest is as sacred to you as your mother, so…”
“No.” said the boy. “The center of the mountain is buried with the bones of my mother.”
His voice was very low, but everyone was shocked. At this time, Da Liu, who had previously debugged the camera, exclaimed suddenly: “Look! What is that!”
Everyone looked up in doubt, and saw a light and shadow passing by the snow peak not far away. It was as dazzling as a rainbow in the white sky and the sky. After hovering in the sky for a few seconds, the long tail light was rushed. To the back of Xuefeng!
At that moment no one could believe his eyes. Even the old heavy-weight captain Huo Ran got up and said in amazement: “What is that, is it a bird?! Da Liu quickly photographed—”
“Yes, I photographed it!” Da Liu quickly looked at the camera, followed by a sudden, a light and incredible voice:
“This-this is impossible…”
He shivered the book and handed the camera to the captain: “This is a peacock…”
The captain was stunned. Everyone went around to look at the pictures he had just taken in a hurry. He was shocked and speechless.
“This is impossible, how can peacocks live on snowy mountains… This is definitely not a peacock, this is the greatest discovery in the history of ecological scientific research…” The captain was so excited that he didn’t know what to say, and suddenly a crowd out of the crowd One hand, took the camera lightly and undeniably.
Everyone turned around and saw the guide flipped through the following album, and then pressed the delete button.
“You, what are you doing!” Da Liu was the first to jump up like a bee sting, and he would beat him when he threw it: “What are you doing! Give it back to me!”
However, the young guide flashed easily to avoid it, and threw the camera to him, saying, “We must go down the mountain immediately.”
Everyone was shocked by the change. Da Liu slammed into the snow, got up, flushed his neck, and rushed over, but was hurriedly blocked by the captain: “Wait! Wizard, why are we going down the mountain? We are going to Xuefeng now Check, you may not understand that this is an unprecedented ecological discovery in human history, if you have taboos in faith—”
“Not faith. Can’t go.”
The captain stunned: “Why?!”
Everyone stared at the guide, but he saw his eyes firmly, without shaking.
“Because our prior agreement is not the case. I will take you here, turn around, go down the mountain, this matter is over. Your commission will be paid here. It is not within the scope of the advance agreement, and I will not accept it.”
“We can increase the price!” The captain said excitedly: “I will double it for you, no, five times! Ten times! We have enough oxygen to go to the back of Xuefeng!”
“It’s not a matter of oxygen. If you see the peacock again, you–” the teenager pointed to the female team member and said, “except you, you will all die.”
His tone was so indifferent, even calming the excited crowd. For a long while, the female player pointed at herself, shaking her lips and asking, “Why, for, why?”
“Because you just prayed to my mother’s bones.” The teenager said coldly, “I once swore that anyone who prays to my mother sincerely on the snowy mountain, I will protect them from dying on the ice field…other I don’t care about people.”
The teenager bypassed them, walked towards the tent, and picked up his equipment bag.
The players looked at each other, and then looked at the captain with interrogative eyes. It seemed that all of this was very absurd. Some people asked each other with their eyes. Would you like to learn how the female team members just did?
Without the help of this teenager, it is difficult for them to return along the same path, not to mention that this is not a casual guide-the Sherpa are born to the children of the Himalayas, and they can climb up to five or six kilometers on foot from an early age. Grazing on the plateau, and those who have climbed the snow line more than 8,000 kilometers will be respected as the “Tiger of the Snow Mountain”. The first person to receive this honor was Tensin Norgay, who climbed Mount Everest three times with different British mountaineering teams in the 1950s. To commemorate this person, there are even mountains named after him on Pluto .
And among the Sherpa people, there is another kind of people called “Shada”.
No one knows the criteria for the selection of “Shada”, but in this mysterious clan, “Shada” has a huge position and power to command all Sherpas in a mountaineering team. “Snow Mountain Tiger” must also obey Shada’s orders.
-This young man named Aga is the “Shada” of the Sherpa generation.
After a moment of hesitation, the captain finally couldn’t resist the excitement and excitement of the huge discovery, catching up with the young guide who had already carried the equipment package: “Twenty times, how? As long as you take us to the back of Xuefeng, I will not only pay you Twenty times the pay, and it’s not your business if anyone on the team dies…”
The teenager covered his bandaged face and turned to him, with no expression in his eyes:
“Do not.”
The captain still wanted to continue persuading, but at this time, suddenly a loud scream came from their heads, and the teenager immediately looked upset and looked back to Xuefeng!
—- I saw the top of Xuefeng, and a huge peacock flew out. In the shocked eyes of everyone, he opened colorful and precious tail feathers, his head and neck were high, and he stared coldly at the humans under his feet.
The teenager lost his voice: “Shut up–”
However, it is too late.
A mocking smile appeared in the eyes of the peacock, and a deafening scream came from the sky!
——Heaven and earth were quiet, followed by a bitter creaking sound, sounded from the snow cover above them!
“Snow, avalanche…” Someone trembled and made a sound, and then retreated, screaming in horror: “Look for cover!-Avalanche is coming!”
I saw a snow mist blasting on the distant head, which was silent at first, but then the sound of thunder rolled quickly from far to near, wrapped in more and more snow and ice, smashing the head of everyone Come down!
In front of the tent, the teenager yelled, and the whole body bowed, rushing up against the avalanche like an arrow off the string.
The captain couldn’t believe his eyes. Above the icefield at an altitude of 6,500 meters, there were people who could rush out a few feet away in a cloud!
However, the scene that made him more shocked in the next second happened when the teenager jumped up and broke free of his jacket to reveal a tight batter. Withdrawing two scimitars from his lower back, he dived towards the peacock!
“Maha–”
The peacock instantly turned into a human, holding a single knife, “When!” A volley blocked the earth-shattering blow!
“Don’t bother me,” said Maha Glam’s glamorous face in the snow without expression, saying: “–otherwise I will kill you too.”
The young boy snapped, “This is obviously what I want to tell you!”
He violently pushed Maha back down Xuefeng for a few steps!
At this moment, the earthquake swept through the avalanche and set off a spectacular giant wave between the world and the world.
The young man gritted his teeth and turned his body into a giant Dapeng bird in mid-air. The gold wings spread out to cover the sky and the sky. “Boom-Xiaoyao!” There was a loud noise and he caught ten million tons of galloping down with his back. Ice and snow!
The next second, it whistled, the giant claw grabbed a bunch of mountaineers on the snow, and swooped down the snowy mountain!

dark.
Faint.
As if there were invisible saw teeth pulling back and forth in the mind, the female player slowly opened her loose eyes. After a long time, she barely recovered from the severe pain of the internal organs.
“this is……”
She struggled to get up, and saw that the surrounding snowfields were extremely messy, black boulders and ice were all over the ground, and she looked far away like the **** mouth of countless giant beasts.
“Captain… Da Liu…” She panicked and shouted shively, “How about people? What about you? Captain, Da Liu–!”
Covering her mouth with a hand from behind, the female player turned back in horror, and saw the young guide standing up from the snow, the bandage spread out, revealing a handsome, **** side face.
He only wears short hits, and Chi | naked body parts are extremely sturdy, holding a sharp scimitar in each hand, stomping the ice on the foot.
“You…” The female player gasped in fear, and after a while she cried and asked: “You… who the **** are you? What happened just now?”
The teenager looked up.
The glacier is slowly walking down a beautiful and long figure, the face is as gorgeous as ice sculptures and snow, and the long hair covered with broken snow is scattered on the side, and the feet under the white robe are bare | On the snow.
“–My name Galuro…”
The teenager narrowed his eyes, and his two-handed scimitar shone dazzlingly:
“The one in front of me is my elder brother in the second millennium.”
“Galoro.” Maha stood on the snow and smiled slightly, “I haven’t seen you for years, would you welcome me in this way?”
Obviously it is a very common action. He does it, but there is a kind of evil mixed with beauty, innocence and temptation. Galuro stared at him for a moment before sneering at him: “Have you seen me in this way for years?”
The two brothers looked at each other in the snow and there was no excitement in each other’s faces. Jialuo Luo lifted his arm and looked at his elder brother up and down: “I heard you were beaten hard by your father in order to escape from the Forbidden Grotto, and then hurt your mother, and finally ran to the blood of **** Dominated the king…why, suddenly came to disturb my cleaning site, wouldn’t it be my missed brother?”
“Don’t be so ruthless, I’m here to send you a cohabitation application.” Maha’s expression was very innocent: “Mind if I live in this mountain for a few years, dear brother?”
Galuro looked at him unexpectedly, but Maha’s expression showed nothing but a naive expression.
His appearance was so rare, and Galuro hesitated for a moment, but still refused: “No, I don’t want to find human limbs every day in the snowy mountains where my mother’s bones are buried. Let’s go.”
This rejection did not surprise Maha.
He slowly moved his arms from behind to his front, and as expected, he held a sharp long knife, but the smile on his face was deeper: “–So, do you want me to drive you out, brother?”
The cold wind suddenly tightened, wrapped around the broken snow and swept like a sharp blade, and at the same time raised the corners of the two people’s clothes.
Galou Luo narrowed his eyes, his eyes shimmering, and his heroic face similar to his father was cold and ruthless in the wind and snow.
“…It turned out to be such a splendid wife of a wealthy man,” he suddenly said, staring at Maha carefully: “Brother, you are getting older.”
Maha’s face changed.
“No wonder even your mother has to keep you in the Forbidden Grotto. Your divine personality has been chopped off by Sky Thunder–” Jia Lou Luo lowered his voice and seemed to feel a little weird: “Now you have to rely on eating People come to absorb energy, otherwise they will quickly deplete with time like six things, grow old, and finally enter the cycle of death?”
Maha’s smile finally disappeared completely from his face.
He stared fiercely at his younger brother, and Garuro received an affirmative answer from this expression.
Galuro frowned, as if feeling a bit ironic.
“If your father kept you in the forbidden grotto and there is a suspicion of retaliation for the conflict between father and son in his early years, then the mother should have set up an institution to protect you. After all, in the ancient legend, the real body of Phoenix is very divine and has The role of’replacement of Godhead’… wait, how did you escape? It is said that the mother was seriously injured?”
Mohan said angrily: “Shut up!”
But Galuro regarded his fierce expression as nothing: “So what do you want now, is there a way to eat a lot of people every day, or enter the snow mountain hinterland to guard the Phoenix bones, and use the remaining divinity on the bones to delay the failure? ?” He raised his eyebrows in a funny way: “I still suggest that you go back to find your father, admit that you made a mistake, and go back to the cave to shut yourself -”
That kind of scene must be very interesting, and Garuro raised his mouth: “At least being confined underground in inland cities of the human world is better than in the center of the Himalayas. The only thing that is the same is that you have been in your life. Don’t think about it…”
“Shut up!” Maha interrupted him irritably: “I went back! The grotto has been destroyed by Zhou Hui!”
The brother stared at him for a moment, and Galuro said regretfully: “Oh, it seems that the father’s heart that wants you to die has not changed.”
The wind and snow became denser and the distant glacier exposed large black rocks after the avalanche. Thousands of miles of snowfields are messy, and the wind swept over a large block of overturned frozen rock, whistling sharply like a whistle, whistling toward the sky.
Maha’s beautiful face was full of haze, and he said softly for a while: “There is another way, maybe you can try it.”
He squeezed his skates in front of him, showing a dangerous offensive posture:
“–It is fellow brothers anyway, if I take away your personality…”
The air burst into a sudden, like countless strings tightening violently!
Jia Lou Luo’s back with a double-knife’s hands burst into blue muscles, staring closely at his brother, and said coldly for a long time: “You come and try.”

Chu He felt as if he was walking in the endless night.
No fingers were stretched around, and the ground was covered with damp muddy. He walked a few steps before falling down, and then, holding his scarred hand, he gritted his teeth and crawled up, and continued on.
Where is the goal and in what direction is the road?
He didn’t know anything. He just felt his knees numb as he fell and climbed again and again, and finally lost consciousness.
In the end, when he was almost unable to support it, a vaguely similar figure appeared to himself vaguely in front of the far dark place, which turned out to be Maha.
-Maha! The kid I was taken away, come back to me!
Chu He didn’t know where to raise a force, gritted his teeth and ran forward, but then fell heavily to the ground again. This time, almost even the internal organs fell into countless **** pieces. He spit out a blood in the pain, exhausted all his strength before struggling to get up, but he saw that Maha went away in the dark, no matter how he shouted, The upstart of the female man who does not look back.
There was a burning anxiety in Chuhe’s heart.
Don’t go there, come back! Maha!
At this moment another familiar figure suddenly flashed in the darkness, and it was Caluro.
——Galoro!
Chu He’s heart tightened in an instant, and he immediately hoarsely called his second son’s name. But Galuro only looked back at him, and his eyes were dazed, as if he didn’t know him, and turned and chased in the direction that Maha left.
Don’t go, Galuro!
Don’t go deep in the darkness, come back soon!
Both Maha and Gauluo’s figures disappeared into the thick and boundless darkness, Chu River could not stand at all, and the severe pain of the torn internal organs made him cry in despair.
He shivered and knelt down, but suddenly a dark yellow light appeared before his eyes.
He looked up in amazement, and saw that Zhou Hui was holding a lamp, standing silently in front of him, as if waiting for him.
——Yes, Zhou Hui, and finally I have Zhou Hui…
Chu He stood up, panting violently, desperately walking forward stumbled, trying to make a weak and helpless cry to Zhou Hui.
But at this moment, another pair of iron-like hands pulled him from behind.
Those hands were so hard to break free that he was imprisoned and prevented him from moving forward. Chu He desperately tried to break free, anxious and desperate in his heart, but then his hands seemed to reach into his bone marrow and blood vessels, and after a little struggling, it brought painful tears.
In front of Zhou Hui, he finally seemed impatient. He carried the lamp and turned to darkness.
——Don’t go, Zhou Hui! do not leave me!
However, the call did not work, Zhou Hui was deaf, and stepped into the distance like Mahagaruluo. The dim and warm light of the star finally disappeared into the sight of Chu River.
Chu He uttered a painful cry, tears slipped from his face in a row, crying hoarsely, not human-like. He finally turned his head to see who was holding him, but at the next moment, he saw Shakya’s face behind him.
“Why, why…”
Chu He opened his eyes in horror, and subconsciously panted violently and shook his head, his tear-stained face was embarrassed: “Let me go, Shakya… let me go!”
However, Shakya was predominant, with a solemn and angry face, and a sneer of sneer that lingered in his eyes for a long time.
“–what!”
At the next moment, Chu He suddenly awakened from a nightmare.
His pupils contracted sharply, staring at the ceiling for a few seconds, his expression blank.
…While consciousness returned a little bit, he realized that he was lying on the big bed in the bedroom. The doors and windows were closed and the curtains were pulled up. The room was dark, and his body was almost saturated with cold sweat.
His rapid breathing slowly subsided, barely turning his head to look at his hand.
The left arm has been taken back, the muscles are still very weak and pale, and a fierce blood stain is formed at the break. This blood stain will disappear in a short time, but the wounded trace will soak in the depth of the blood vein, and it will be difficult to disappear for thousands of years.
His eyes moved upward, his eyes widened slightly in amazement–
I saw a black iron chain on the left wrist, and the other end was locked on the bed made of stainless steel.
