Chapter 15 Oral Message

The decisive master Zhuoma wants to see me?

I looked at Taxi for some reason because I had never spoken to the old lady and had no communication. I didn't even see her often, so why did she suddenly see me?

But Taxi's expression was very serious and had an indecisive aura, as if the person his grandmother wanted to meet was a death sentence. When he saw me a little strange, he whispered: "Please be sure to come with me, it is a very important thing."

I was stunned for a moment, looked at his expression, and felt unable to refuse, so I nodded and got up. He turned around immediately and asked me to follow him.

The resting place of Dingzhu Zhuoma was far away from our place, with parking cars separated by the middle, probably because I thought we were too noisy. I walked about two hundred meters before I came to their bonfire. I saw that Dingzhu Zhuoma and her daughter-in-law were not sleeping. They were sitting on the bonfire with thick felt on the ground. The bonfire was burning very vigorously. In addition to the two of them, there was a person sitting on the felt by the bonfire. When I approached, I was even more surprised. It turned out that the person was not someone else, but a bonfire bottle.

The oil bottle turned her back to me, and I couldn't see the expression, but under the flashing firelight, I found that the expression of the decisive master Zhuoma was a little sinister. I walked to the bonfire in confusion, thinking that this was really strange. This old lady was secretly looking for us to do in the middle of the night?

Taxi waved his hand to ask me to sit down, and the old woman's daughter-in-law gave me butter tea. I thanked me and took it. I glanced at the oil bottle on the side and found that he also looked at me, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then Taxi looked at the direction of the camp behind us and whispered something to the decisive master Zhuoma in Tibetan. The old woman nodded, and suddenly spoke to us in Mandarin with a very heavy accent: "I have a letter here to you two."

Menyoubo and I didn't talk. Actually, I was a little confused. I thought it was someone's message? But Menyoubo lowered his head to drink tea without any expression. I felt it was hard to ask, it sounded like that.

The decisive master Zhuoma glanced at us and said, "The person who asked me to pass on this oral message is called Chen Wenjin. I believe you should all know him. She asked me to pass on a word to you."

When I heard this, I was stunned. At first I thought I had heard it wrong. Just as I was about to ask a question, the decisive master Zhuoma continued, "When Chen Wenjin asked me to send the video, she had already predicted that this would happen. If you come in to find Tamutu according to the contents of the notes, then... So she asked me to tell you that she will wait for you at the destination for a while, but," Tashi moved his watch to the decisive master Zhuoma. She glanced at it, "You don't have much time anymore. From now on, if she can't wait for you within ten days, she will go in by herself. You guys hurry up."

I was stunned. I thought to myself, what's going on? Destination? Wen Jin was waiting for us in Tamutu? This... I suddenly became stiff and looked at Mon Oil Bottle. This was amazing, Mon Oil Bottle also looked surprised.

But in just a few seconds, he returned to normal. He raised his head and looked at the Lord Zhuoma, and asked, "When did she tell you this?"

The decisive master Zhuoma said coldly: "I only send messages to other places. I don't know anything, so don't ask, there are so many people here." As we said, we all looked at the direction of the camp reflexively.

Mon Oil Bottle frowned slightly and asked again, "Is she okay?"

The decisive master Zhuoma smiled strangely, "If you can hurry up, you will know." As he said that, he waved his hand. The wife beside her helped her stand up and walked towards her tent. It seemed that she was going back.

I stood up and tried to stop her, but was stopped by Tashi. He shook his head and said it was useless.

But at this time, the decisive master Zhuoma turned his head and said to us: "By the way, there is another sentence that I forgot to convey."

We all looked up at her, and she said, "She asked me to tell you that it is right among you, you must be careful."

After saying that, she continued to turn around and entered her tent, leaving me and Men Youping, sitting foolishly in front of the bonfire.

I looked at the oil bottle, but he looked at the fire and didn't know what he was thinking. I asked him, "What's going on? Why, this message will be passed to us two."

But he didn't answer, closed his eyes and wanted to stand up.

Seeing his attitude, countless questions suddenly rushed into his mind, and the person got a little out of control. He held him down and said to him, "You are not allowed to leave!"

He turned his head and looked at me lightly, but he really didn't leave. He sat down and looked at me.

His behavior was abnormal. I thought he would leave. I was stunned for a moment. I didn't know what to say. He looked at me and asked me, "What's wrong with you?"

When I heard this, I was furious and said, "I have something to ask you, you can't escape anymore, you must tell me."

He turned his face back, looked at the fire, and said, "I won't answer."

I suddenly became angry and shouted, "Damn it! Why! What can you say? We are playing around and we don't even give us a reason. What do you think we are?"

He turned his face over and looked at me, his face turned cold: "Don't you think you are strange? Why should I tell you about my own affairs?"

I was speechless and couldn't help it. I thought, yes, this is indeed his business, and he had no need to tell me.

The atmosphere was awkward, and I didn't know what to say.

After a long time of silence, the Butter Tea that had already cooled off, and suddenly said to me: "Wu Xie, what are you doing with me? Actually, you shouldn't be involved. Your third uncle has done a lot of things for you. The water in it is not something you can get."

I was stunned again and subconsciously counted it. In 34 words, he actually said such a long sentence. It was so rare. After looking at his expression, he couldn't see anything.

"I don't want to do it either. Actually, my request is very simple. As long as I know what happened, I will be satisfied. However, everyone doesn't let me know. It's impossible for me to not have muddy water." I said to him.

Mon Oil Bottle looked at me and said, "Have you ever thought about the reason why they won't let you know the truth?"

I looked at the eyes of the man oil bottle and suddenly I found that he was talking to me very seriously. I couldn't help but be surprised and thought that this guy had taken the wrong medicine.

But then, maybe he could tell me something this time. I immediately became serious and shook my head: "I haven't thought about it, and I don't know where to think."

He said lightly: "Actually, sometimes lying to someone is to protect him. There is some truth that may be something he cannot bear."

"It should be up to him to judge whether he can bear it himself." I said. "Maybe others don't want you to protect him, but others just want to die happily? Do you understand the pain of not knowing anything?"

The oil bottle fell silent. The two of them stayed quietly for a while, and then he said to me: "I understand." Then he looked at me: "And I understand more than you. For me, I want to know far more than you, but no one can catch it like you, and ask."

I remembered that he had lost his memory and wanted to slap himself, thinking that he would not compare with him or compare with him.

He continued: "I am a person without a past and a future. All the things I do are to find me to connect with this world? Where did I come from, why am I here?" He looked at his hand and said lightly: "Can you imagine that there will be people like me. If they disappear in this world, no one will find it. It's like there has never been me in this world. Will there be no trace left? Sometimes I look in the mirror and often wonder if I really exist or just a phantom of a person."

I couldn't speak, and after thinking about it, I said, "It's not as exaggerated as you said. If you disappear, at least I will find out."

He shook his head, not knowing what it meant, and then stood up and said to me, "Maybe I will tell you my affairs when I know the answer on the day I will know the answer, but if you catch me, you will not get the answer. Now, all this is also a mystery to me. I think you have enough mystery and no more." As he said that, he walked back.

"Can you tell me at least one thing?" I shouted.

He stopped, turned his head and looked at me.

"Why did you want to get into the bronze door?" I asked him.

He heard this, thought for a while, and said, "I'm just doing what Wang Zanghai did back then."

"Then what did you see inside?" I asked, "Where is the place behind the Giant Gate?"

He turned his head and patted the sand on his body, and said to me: "Inside, I saw the ultimate, the ultimate of everything."

"Ultimate?" I was confused and wanted to ask him, so he smiled faintly at me, waved his hand and told me not to ask, and said to me, "Also, I am on your side." As he said that, he walked away slowly, and I was the only one left. I fell on the sand, feeling extremely headache.

The next morning, the convoy set out again.

Leaving this small village called Lancuo, further to the depths of the Gobi Desert, there is no man's land on the map with nothing. In other words, there is not even a basic road that is rolled out by a car. Under the wheels is land that has not been reached for decades or even hundreds of years. The road conditions, or the ground conditions are even worse. The so-called off-road vehicles are also trembling on such roads, because you don't know if there will be stones or deep pits under the sandstorm of the Gobi Desert. The master Zhuoma must rely on wind-eroded rocks and river valleys to find the sign of moving forward, which forces the convoy to approach the steep slopes near those rocks.

The scorching sun was in the sky and the extreme bumps, the people who were in high spirits were almost immediately defeated, and they wilted the sun one by one. At first, there were people racing, but later they all lined up obediently.

In the so-called adventure and geological exploration activities, the activities in the desert Gobi are actually completely different from jungle or ocean exploration. There are a lot of available resources in the ocean and jungle. That is to say, as long as you have the skills to survive, you can survive in these two places for a long time. But the desert Gobi is completely opposite. Here, there is only sand. Even if you have three heads and six arms, you cannot find anything that can sustain life in the desert by yourself. This is why almost all Gobi deserts are called "land of death". Anning and others are the first time they enter such a place, and they lack experience, and this setback is foreseeable at this time.

I was also dizzy by the sun. Looking at the rolling yellow dust outside, I had already developed a desire to retreat. However, yesterday, the message from Zhuoma to me and the manguaiu bottle made me make up my mind. Thinking of what happened last night, I felt an unspeakable pressure.

It's among you.

Who is it?

In Wen Jin's notes, I mentioned many times that I have been escaping the search for "it" for the past twenty years. What exactly is this? What makes me care about is why I use "it" instead of "he/her"? Is this "it" among us not a human being? It is really a speculation that makes people feel uncomfortable.

As soon as we entered the unmanned land, we followed a depleted river channel. The Qaidam Basin was originally a place where rivers gathered, and most of the rivers originated from the snow peaks of Tanggula and Kunlun. However, in the past decade, many large rivers have turned underground, not to mention small river channels. We drove at the bottom of the riverbed and found that there were half a person-tall artemisia everywhere. It is estimated that there will be no water here for two or three years. In a few years, this river channel will disappear.

When you arrive at the end of the river three days later, the Gobi will become a desert, but the deserts in the Qaidam Basin are not big, they are like spots one by one. Dotted in the center of the basin, ordinary herders will not enter the desert because there are devils living in it and there is no grass for cattle and sheep to eat. The decisive master Zhuoma said that bypassing the desert was the Yanshan Pass where she and Wenjindi team separated. There was a large area of ​​strange stones, like a huge city gate, so it was easy to find. Further in, there was the place where the desert, sea, and salt marsh meet. These things swallowed each other, and the landform changed day by day, and the most experienced guides did not dare to go in.

However, Aning and the others brought GPS, they were not worried about this. Although Taxi kept reminding them that the machine would break down, especially in the Gobi Desert where the temperature difference between day and night was more than 50 degrees.
