Acting for the gods

Chapter 54 Italian Explorers
In the early morning, on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of several thousand meters, the air is relatively thin, and people with poor health are prone to altitude sickness.

"Giggle~"

Hearing the crowing of the Nuqing rooster, Jiang Fan withdrew from the interior scene.

Ghost Blowing Lantern is a novel he read a few years ago, and his memory is rather vague, especially about the plot of "Kunlun Shrine".

Because the TV series has not yet been released, some details have been blurred, and only a general idea is known. If you want to obtain accurate information, you can only enter the interior calculation.

Obtaining information related to oneself requires a certain price. In order to avoid losing too much life, Jiang Fan plans to first go to the ancient ruins under Mount Kailash, and then infer from the ancient ruins.

Walking out of the tent, Jiang Fan saw that Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, and Hua Ling had all put on thick clothes and were doing Tai Chi on the grass.

"Brother Jiang, good morning!"

Hua Ling saw Jiang Fan and said hello.

"morning."

Jiang Fan dressed cooler. His current strength was much stronger than that of the original king, but he didn't feel cold.

After doing a set of Tai Chi exercises and eating a bowl of delicious beef soup, the four of them packed their bags and headed towards the ancient ruins.

This is the 20s.

The Xixue area is relatively chaotic and is facing British aggression.

The government of Tibet controls parts of U-Tsang and Xikang, similar to the present-day Tibet Autonomous Region.

Tibet continues to expand its military, and most of its troops are deployed in Kham. This also makes Tibet unable to effectively maintain its borders in the northern region.

A few years ago, that is, in 1917, in the conflict in the Kham region, the Kashag in Tibet won the victory and occupied Qamdo, Dege and other places.

The border of Tibet in the Kham area delineated by the Treaty on the Armistice and Withdrawal of Troops in Frontier-Tibet signed on August 1918, 8 is roughly bounded by the Jinsha River.

With the continued expansion of the military, the Kashag was unable to maintain the soaring military expenditure, and instead demanded huge taxes from the Ninth Panchen Lama of Tashilhunpo Monastery. After the Panchen Lama protested to no avail, he left the mainland in December 1923.

These historical events are pretty much the same as the real world.

When Jiang Fan and the others entered Tibet, most of the herdsmen they saw were carrying shotguns and were very vigilant.

During the period, I also encountered a group of Tibetans who wanted to block the road and rob. It turned out that Jiang Fan and others were fine, but the robbers were looted.

There are good people and bad people in that place, but in a chaotic world, there are relatively more bad people.

The four got a few shotguns and horses, rode the horses and swung the whips, the sky was blue and the breeze was blowing, they were very happy.

When they came to a county town, Partridge Whistle hired a guide, a young lama named Wanda. According to Partridge Whistle, Wanda had read ancient scriptures and studied the culture of the Demon Kingdom.

When Jiang Fan first heard the name "Wanda", he immediately thought of it as Marvel's Scarlet Witch, but it was just the same name.

Wanda is 25 years old. She has darker skin and looks thinner. She can speak Mandarin. When she was a child, she traveled around with her master.

It is also Lu Ziye of Partridge Whistle, who met some masters in Tibet, so that in a short period of time, he can find Wanda who understands the culture of the Demon Kingdom as a guide.

Originally, excavating ancient tombs was a disastrous thing, and the master was not willing to let Wanda lead the way for Partridge Whistle and the others at first.

But when they heard that Partridge Whistle and the others were going to dig the ancient tomb of the Demon Kingdom, their attitude changed suddenly.

In the eyes of these lamas, demons are sealed in the tombs of the Demon Kingdom, which is a great threat to the people.

In history, there are many monks with profound practice who wanted to eliminate demons and protect the Dharma, completely eradicate the ancient tombs of the demon kingdom, so as to prevent the evil gods from reappearing in the world, but they have no clues.

Now Jiang Fan and others are planning to find the ruins of the Demon Kingdom, which is a good deed of great merit to them, so they are happy to see it succeed.

When purchasing supplies in the small town, Jiang Fan and the others met several foreign explorers.

Said they were explorers, but Jiang Fan could smell the earthy smell on their bodies from a long distance away.

Partridge Whistle and Jiang Fan looked at each other, knowing that most of these foreigners had just left the grave.

In this chaotic era, there are countless tomb robbers, such as Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai, and Jiang Fan and the others have also visited many tombs.

However, Jiang Fan still dislikes foreigners stealing tombs.

Several people spoke English. When Jiang Fan bought yak jerky, he used the "Xun character·listening to the wind" to quietly guide the specific vibrations in the air to his ears according to the established route.

Through the conversation of several people, Jiang Fan, whose English is not good, can only know very little information.

For example, one of them is called Du Qi, who is the head of the expedition team.

A few days ago, I went to the tomb to steal an ancient corpse and funerary objects.

The two groups met face to face, and Du Qi's eyes lit up when he saw the jade pendant on Jiang Fan's body.

He whispered something to his companion, walked towards Jiang Fan, and said in Italian Chinese: "Hello, Taoist priest, my name is Du Qi, and I'm an explorer. Nice to meet you."

There is nothing to be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief.

Seeing that the other party spoke Chinese well, Jiang Fan said calmly, "How happy I am."

"..."

Du Qi was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile: "Out of politeness, shouldn't the priest say your name?"

"Ha ha."

Jiang Fan didn't give Du Qi a good look, and his politeness depended on who he was treating. For people like Du Qi who went to the land of China to rob graves, Jiang Fan did not take action, which was considered restraint.

"Let's go."

Partridge Whistle does not want to deal with these foreigners. He can speak English and has met Western pastors, but his colleagues are enemies, let alone foreigners.

Now he only wanted to lift the curse of the Zagrama tribe as soon as possible, and didn't want to cause any complications.

A strong man next to Du Qi saw this, but got excited, and shouted: "Huaxia people are really rude, did my boss let you go?"

During the reply, he stretched out his hand to put Jiang Fan's shoulder, trying to force him to stay.

As soon as the strong man made a move, Jiang Fan had noticed it and was about to make a move when Du Qi called to stop the strong man: "Hanks, forget it."

Jiang Fan left without turning his head, touched the partridge whistle on his waist, and continued walking calmly.

The strong man named Hanks looked at Du Qi and said in English, "Boss, why stop me?"

"There is a saying in the East that a strong dragon does not overwhelm a local snake. People here are hostile to us, and fighting is not good for us."

Du Qi is considered a half-hand of China. He knows a lot about Chinese culture and is obsessed with Chinese cultural relics.

He saw that the jade pendant on Jiang Fan was extraordinary before, so he didn't intend to give up so easily, but now is not the time.

the other side.

Partridge Whistle whispered to Jiang Fan: "We are being targeted."

"Depending on the situation, maybe we can let them find the way for us." Jiang Fan said calmly.

Where the loess does not bury people, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has very good geomantic omen, if a few foreign devils dare to make trouble, Jiang Fan dares to bury them.

When necessary, waste can be used.

After packing up their things, Jiang Fan and the others set off on horseback.

Du Qi and his group hang far away.

Seeing that Jiang Fan and others left the town and arrived in a desolate area, but Du Qi did not give the order for a long time, Hanks asked suspiciously: "Boss, don't you want to do it?"

"I just observed it and found that they are not locals, they should be tomb robbers. In addition to the items purchased at the market, [-]% of them found tombs."

Du Qi said with a smile: "There is a Chinese proverb that says that the mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows them. If you follow them, you may have unexpected harvest."

"The boss is wise."

A few people following Du Qi started flattering.

Little did he know that their words had already reached Jiang Fan's ears along with the wind.

Jiang Fan was not in a hurry to act, and he and the Partridge Whistle dress were followed without knowing it, and continued to go to the Guge ruins under Mount Kailash according to the original plan.

Along the way, Wanda will introduce the local customs to Jiang Fan and others.
