Chapter 6: Shangri-La in Tibet
An old man came face to face. He looked like he was in his sixties. He wore a pair of glasses and had a lot of wrinkles on his face. He was very tall, about 1.8 meters, but he was very thin. At a glance, he knew that he often ran outside, because the old man, as a white man actually had a healthy small face. Wheat color.
There are also several young people who look like old students, two women and two men, and a man with a tall figure and a murderous face. At a glance, they know that they are not good at stubble. They should be the people who came to protect them this time. Maybe they are not sure if they are mercenaries. This man is tall and has a scar on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he was a foreigner, I would have thought he was a brother with the magic stick, because his scar was similar to the magic stick, and he cut his face diagonally. It seemed that the injury would have been very serious at that time.
When I saw Michiko coming, the old man was very happy to greet Michiko in English, and then I followed him. Michiko introduced, "Professor Taylor, this is Mr. Wen Long, whom I mentioned to you last night. This time, he led the team and took us into Tibet." I was stunned. I didn't expect that Michiko wanted me to lead the team. He didn't tell me at all in advance. Why did I lead the team now? But I still stretched out my hand to the gray-haired old man: "Professor Taylor, welcome to China."
Professor Taylor was obviously very happy. He held my hand with a smile and said in some stiff Chinese, "I'm going to trouble Mr. Wenlong this time. My students and I are very grateful to have you for taking us to this mysterious and beautiful place in Tibet." I smiled and said, "Actually, this is my first time to enter Tibet, but let's support each other." Professor Taylor nodded and said, "Come on, let me introduce you to my students."
After the introduction, I also know several students of Professor Taylor. A thin boy named Sandy, and another big boy who looks very sunny and handsome is Robert. He is a couple with a girl named Haili in this team. It seems that their relationship is really loving. , holding hands at any time. Another girl named Sierra, wearing a pair of glasses and blonde hair on her head, looked really beautiful, but with an expression of refusing people thousands of miles away.
As for the other Scarface, there is a very strange name, Al Pacino. I always feel that his name is a little familiar. Later, I remembered that there seems to be a foreign film actor also named Al Pacino. Then when I shook hands with him, the big man snorted coldly and didn't say anything. I didn't mean to shake hands at all. I didn't bother to pay attention to him. Then I checked my luggage for several people before returning to the waiting hall to wait for the plane.
It didn't take long, and the plane was about to take off. Several of us boarded the plane one after another. I happened to sit with Professor Taylor and traveled from Guangzhou to Tibet for a long time, about four hours, so we had to talk to Professor Taylor all the way. And the magic stick sat with the tall Alpacino. I sneered in my heart. It seemed that these two people had to fight. They were both outlaws.
After the plane took off, Professor Taylor and I had nothing to talk about. Through understanding me, I learned that Professor Taylor should be a very remarkable scholar. He has published articles in many famous archaeological newspapers around the world, and he told me that he yearns for Tibetan culture very much, because Tibet is the world One of the most mysterious places, this is not only the famous roof of the world, but also the highest plateau in the world. In addition to these, there has lived a most mysterious nation here, that is, the Aryan nation known as the god.
Of course, I don't know what kind of nation of gods, and I never say anything about these legendary illusory things, so of course I can't express any opinions on Professor Taylor's views. But Professor Taylor became more and more energetic. As he spoke, we talked about our destination this time, looking for the legendary city, Shangri-La.
In fact, I don't know much about the so-called Shangri-La. I probably only know the name of a chain hotel, but I don't know what the source is. However, Professor Taylor's profound knowledge has increased my knowledge. Then I learned that the word Shangri-La first appeared in Tibet, which it refers to A legendary civilization is an ancient and mysterious kingdom, the kingdom of Shambhala. It is said that this kingdom is a real paradise. As long as anyone has the qualification to enter this kingdom, he will become the most respected god.
I am an atheist. I don't know whether this kingdom of Shambhala is or not, but since Professor Taylor brought his students into Tibet, there must be some clues, otherwise he would not have come to Tibet so far away. And according to Professor Taylor, he suspected that the kingdom of Shambhala is a disappeared civilization. If this civilization is found, it will definitely become the most surprising archaeological discovery of this century, and he also firmly believes that if this kingdom of Shambhala is found, it may be able to unravel why human beings exist in this world. Reason.
I don't believe Professor Taylor's statement. If a missing civilization site can solve the mystery of mankind, what else should those scientists do? Besides, countless scientists have discussed for so long and finally pinned the emergence of human beings on a so-called theory of evolution. Does Professor Taylor want to overturn this scientific theory that has been circulating for nearly a hundred years? Besides, human beings have existed on the earth for many years. After so many years, what can human beings do even if they know how they came to the earth? Do you still want to "go home"?
But Professor Taylor obviously doesn't want to say this. He just wants to find the kingdom of Shambhala and study it more deeply. For such an old scholar, perhaps studying the history of the kingdom is far more important than proving the origin of mankind.
Listening to Professor Taylor's increasingly thick Shambhala language, most of what he said is just legends. As for whether there is a place or not, even he can't be sure whether there is a place or not. I suddenly feel that this task has been cheated, and even Professor Taylor is not sure whether this kingdom of Shambhala has it or not. It has existed. You said that we still went all the way to Tibet to look for it. Do we really want to find a civilized city that has disappeared for thousands of years according to a legend?
But if you think so, looking at Professor Taylor's interest, I guess it's impossible to persuade him to go back now. I know that this kind of person's temper is like a stubborn donkey, which can't be moved by words at all, especially if he has confirmed one thing, which really doesn't touch the south wall. Looking back, so I can only smile. It seems that I have suffered from entering Tibet this time.
After talking to Professor Taylor for a while, I fell asleep on the plane. Obviously, Professor Taylor had no water and kept writing a diary with red eyes. I didn't wake up until I got off the plane and looked at Professor Taylor's red eyes. Shake our heads helplessly. Soon, the plane landed at the airport in Tibet. We got off the plane with people, and then found our luggage at the baggage collection place at the airport. Everyone walked out of the airport with a big bag on their back.
When we came outside the airport, we found that the white clouds and Liantian here looked as beautiful as the legend, even more beautiful than the legend, because people who have never been to Tibet can never experience that feeling. The white clouds in the sky are very low, as if they are about to be touched. It really looks like a ball of marshmallows and the endless blue sky. It is really pure, and I even feel that the sky is purer than anywhere else.
Breathe the air. The air here is so fresh. This natural taste is far more than the feeling of spraying air freshener. The cool wind gently strokes the cheek, like a lover's hand touching his face, which is indescribably comfortable. Whether it is the earth or the blue sky, They are all so pure. It is indeed a desirable place. It seems that this trip to Tibet is really right. If I have time in the future, I must bring the monkeys to come again.
After leaving the airport, at the entrance of the airport, Haili had to pester everyone to take a group photo. I had no choice but to take a few photos for them, and then asked the locals to take a group photo. Then we took a taxi. Our group first came to the hotel pre-booked by Michiko to rest. After entering the hotel, we After putting down the bag, Michiko let everyone gather together. After all, it's already afternoon to download. We decided to take a day off here first, and then tomorrow we will go to see the cultural monuments of Tibet.
According to Michiko's arrangement, Professor Taylor and his party will first visit the Potala Palace and other places, and then we will look for the legendary ancient country of Shambhala. Professor Taylor told us about the location of the ancient country of Shambhala. The approximate place should be at the border between Qinghai and Tibet, and then we have to take the train to go there and look for it on foot.
I don't care. Although I have never been to Tibet before, I also know some things that Tibet should pay attention to. The most basic is the reaction of hypoxia on the plateau, so I called Michiko aside and asked him how to solve this problem. Michiko smiled. It seems that she has taken these things into account. It seems that my worry is superfluous.
Until dinner, I guess this group of people were tired enough, especially Professor Taylor. From the time he got on the plane to now, he didn't close his eyes at all and wrote a diary, so I didn't bother him, but I was staying in the room and suddenly heard a knock on the door. I quickly opened the door and saw The magic stick stood outside the door and looked at me with an unhappy face.
Don't say anything, collect it, I urgently need to collect it now!
