Chapter 567 Another World
Tao Yuanming, a writer in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, once wrote a collection of poems, the Peach Blossom Spring, which reads "Suddenly I encountered a peach blossom forest that crossed hundreds of steps on the shore, and there were no trees and fragrant grasses in it... The water source of the forest was enough to get a mountain. There was a small mouth of the mountain as if there was light, and I walked dozens of steps and suddenly realized it.
It is about a paradise that no one has ever arrived before. It seems to be in two different states from the outside world, completely isolated from the world.
Many years ago, Hollywood also made a movie called Gravity, which is probably the same. In that world that is also isolated from the world, mosquitoes are as big as sparrows, but elephants are as small as grasshoppers, and the sky is the same. Since there are two different environments, it is really surprising.
But this is a story in novels and movies after all. Is there such a place that is similar to Peach Blossom Land and gravity in real life? No one may have known it or few people have known it before, but now the answer to this mystery seems to be revealed to the world.
The Mitsui family went southeast, and Wang Jingzhe and others headed east. They set off at about the same time. One side was about ten minutes faster than the other side. The Mitsui family relied on villagers to lead the way, while Wang Jingzhe was relying on the veins in the mountains.
Time flies, and a few hours later, the Tibetans who led the way suddenly stopped leaving in front of them. Instead, they suddenly knelt on the ground with a pious look on their faces and bowed to the southeast.
Mitsui Xiaoye asked, "What's going on?"
After asking, Kobayashi Tanyi said, "He said that there is their holy land ahead, there are temples and gods there, and he cannot move forward any more."
Mitsui Mina and others looked up and saw nothing after a moment. Looking forward from them, there was still mountains stacked with mountains, and they couldn't even see them at all. The scenery that caught their eyes was very boring, and where did the gods come from?
Mitsui Ryoka took out his gun and pulled the firing pin, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell him that if he doesn't lead the way, just kill him. If it really doesn't work, we will go to that village and find someone. I don't believe it. Are they afraid of death or some shitty gods?"
Kobayashi Tanyi said lightly: "You are really wrong. Death is not terrible for these Tibetans. Some of them even advocate death, thinking that the corpse is just an ordinary skin. After death, the soul can be reincarnated, while the gods are their beliefs and cannot be blasphemed."
Mitsui Ryogawa was stunned. Mitsui Mina frowned and said, "You are asking, we can even take out some more supplies. There is no end here, and there is no one to lead the way, and we don't know how to go."
At this moment, Kobayashi Tanyi continued to communicate with the other party. After a long time, the Tibetans agreed to continue leading the way after he took out some of the medicines, but this time the speed was much slower.
Every three steps the Tibetans will kneel on their knees and raise their hands to bow, perform a great ceremony to prostrate themselves, then get up and take a few more steps, and then pray again.
Kobayashi Tanyi explained that this was his only request to lead the way. In order not to disturb the gods' rest and avoid being punished, he could only lead the way in this way.
As a result, time was undoubtedly much slower. More than two hours passed, and suddenly a flock of birds flew out from behind a snowy mountain in front of them, hovering on the top of the mountain, flying twice, then flapping its wings and falling under the top of the mountain.
Mitsui Mina looked up and exclaimed: "This is impossible. The colorful blue crow is a kind of bird that grows only in the subtropical region. It is impossible for it to live in such high altitude areas."
Kobayashi Tanyi smiled and said, "It's impossible, it means we're in the right place..."
Mina Mitsui breathed and nodded, "What you said makes sense, it's not normal, it's the most normal. We found the place where Martin Bowman came."
When I crossed a mountain, it was getting dark, a shocking and puzzled scene appeared in front of everyone.
Under the top of the mountains, a place that seemed like a huge sinkhole appeared. The entrance to the sinkhole was as big as a football field. It was surrounded by cliffs that could not be seen at first sight. At the bottom of the sinkhole was a lush jungle. The cliffs from the jungle to the top of the mountain must be at least 100 meters high.
Such a magical picture makes people sigh when they look at it, you can never imagine the wonders of nature.
Perhaps few people know that in the hinterland of the Himalayas, surrounded by layers of mountains, there will be such a world. When the surroundings are full of towering snow-capped mountains and high-altitude terrain, a place where spring flowers suddenly pop up at the foot of the mountain. It seems to be isolated by some mysterious force. The outside world is covered with snow, but business is full of business here.
The Tibetan who led the way knelt on the ground and kept holding his hands high and bowing. The pious expression on his face could easily feel his excitement and admiration. When he saw this huge sinkhole, he refused to take a step forward and kept kneeling down and bowing.
The surprise in Kobayashi Tanichi and Mitsui Mina could not calm down for a long time. It was not until a group of birds flew up from the bottom of the sinkhole and flew back again, that they slowly came to their senses.
"It's really unexpected. How did Martin Bauman know that there was such a place deep in the Himalayas in Tibet? He knew before or accidentally encountered it when he was transporting treasures here. It's completely incomprehensible." Mitsui Mina was very sorry that the second half of Martin Bauman's experience in that notebook was torn off. They may never know how Martin Bauman traveled thousands of miles to Tibet when World War II was about to end decades ago.
After staying around the sinkhole for a while, the sunset began to gradually fall towards the other side of the mountain. Mitsui Ryogawa and others searched around the sinkhole for a while, wanting to find a way to go down from the top of the cliff to the bottom. They could only go down step by step. It was impossible to go down to the bottom by direct descending.
At the same time, on the other end of the Tiankeng, there was a narrow cave halfway up the mountain. There were several footprints printed in the ground inside the cave. Ice layer had formed due to the low temperature and too high temperature deviation.
