Chapter 889 Father
He knew that this might be a dangerous journey, but for his father, he had no choice. Through his friends in the archaeological community, Lin Yuan found out about a man named Batur. Batur was a senior guide on the Pamir Plateau, familiar with every terrain there, and had heard countless legends about bronze treasures. When Lin Yuan found him, Batur was sitting in a teahouse in the old city of Kashgar, drinking steaming milk tea. "Young man, the Pamir Plateau is not a tourist attraction." Batur looked Lin Yuan up and down. "There are blizzards, avalanches, and man-eating beasts. What's more, the legend of the bronze secret treasure..." He paused, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "That is not something that ordinary people can get involved in." Lin Yuan showed Batur the bronze fragments and the map: "My father is looking for this missing person, I must go. Moreover, I believe these clues are not accidental." Batur stared at the symbols on the fragments, and his face suddenly turned pale: "This symbol... is a taboo symbol in our place. However, if you really decide, I can take you there. But there is one condition, everything must be done by me." Under Batur's leadership, Lin Yuan came to an ancient tribe on the plateau. The people here live in isolation and guard the secrets passed down from generation to generation. In the tribe, they met Ayina. Ayina is the youngest priest in the tribe. She has a pair of smart eyes and long black hair. She can interpret some ancient symbols. When Ayi Na saw the bronze fragments, she trembled all over: "This... This is the 'Sky Key' in our legend, which is said to open the door to the land of the gods. But it has been missing for a long time, and I didn't expect it to appear again." Lin Yuan was delighted: "Then can you decipher these symbols?" Ayi Na shook her head: "I can only understand part of it. Moreover, these symbols seem to have been encrypted, and more clues are needed to completely solve them. However, I can go with you. Maybe in the depths of the plateau, we can find the answer." In this way, Lin Yuan, Batur and Ayi Na formed an expedition team. They purchased professional mountaineering equipment, warm clothes and food, and prepared to go deep into the Pamir Plateau. However, their actions soon attracted the attention of others. Zhou Yan, Professor Lin's most trusted assistant during his lifetime, is now a well-known explorer. When he learned that Lin Yuan was going to the Pamir Plateau, he took the initiative to find him. "Xiao Yuan, I heard that you are going to find your father?" Zhou Yan patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder, "I am familiar with the terrain there, and I have also participated in your father's research in the past. Let me join, I can help you." Lin Yuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. After all, Zhou Yan did have rich experience, and he believed in his father's vision. But he did not notice that when he turned around, a subtle gloom flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes. The night before departure, Lin Yuan looked through his father's notes again. On a yellowed page, he found a line of words written in red pen: "If I can't come back, remember, the true value of the bronze code is not wealth, but protection." This line of words, like his father's last words, made Lin Yuan more determined in his belief. The next morning, the morning sun shone on the Pamir Plateau, and the snow-capped mountains shone with holy light. Lin Yuan, Batur, Aina and Zhou Yan, carrying heavy bags, embarked on an unknown journey. They didn't know what was waiting for them ahead, but for the truth and for their father, they had no hesitation. As they went deeper into the plateau, the temperature became lower and lower, and the wind was blowing with snowflakes. Batur walked in front, exploring the way with a trekking pole, and reminded everyone to pay attention to the ice cracks under their feet from time to time. Ayi Na was observing the surrounding environment vigilantly, muttering something in her mouth, as if praying. Zhou Yan followed Lin Yuan and asked with concern: "Xiao Yuan, do you think we can really find your father?" Lin Yuan looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance and said firmly: "No matter what, I will try. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." At this time, they did not know that behind them, there were pairs of eyes watching their every move. The mysterious bronze code, ancient legends, and the conspiracy hidden in the dark involved them in a thrilling adventure.
At the pass at an altitude of 5,200 meters, the blizzard was like countless ice blades cutting the team members' windproof masks. Lin Yuan's eyelashes were full of ice crystals, and every time he blinked, it felt like broken glass scraped his eyeballs. Batur's trekking pole stabbed heavily into the snow, and he screamed in the wind: "Quick! Find shelter! This is a white-haired wind that hasn't been seen in ten years!" Zhou Yan's windproof goggles were blurred by the wind and snow. He pulled Lin Yuan's climbing rope, and his voice was filled with imperceptible irritation: "You should have listened to me earlier and walked through the valley to the east!" Ayi Na suddenly grabbed Lin Yuan's arm, and the sleeves of her Tibetan robe slipped off, revealing the red rope wrapped around her wrist - it was the amulet that the tribal elders had specially woven for her, and it was moving without wind at this moment. "Something is watching us." Ayi Na's pupils shrank in the shadows, and her sheepskin boots suddenly sank into a snow pit, and when she pulled them out, she brought out half of a bronze-colored animal bone. Lin Yuan squatted down and swept the surface of the animal bones with his headlamp. The symbols engraved on them were exactly the same as the sacrificial totems recorded in his father's notes. The avalanche came without any warning. A muffled "boom" suddenly sounded from the ridge in the distance, and the snow mist swept in like a huge white wave. Batur reacted quickly and dragged everyone to the rock crevice on the right. Lin Yuan felt his back hit the cold rock wall, and the snow flow whistled past his scalp, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression. Ayi Na's Tibetan knife was deeply inserted into the crevice. When she turned her head, the ends of her hair swept across Lin Yuan's cheek, bringing a mixture of butter and mugwort. "Wolf pack!" Batur's shout tore the air as the roar of the avalanche stopped. Lin Yuan struggled to look up from the snow pile, and saw more than 30 pairs of green eyes flashing a hundred meters away, and the wolves surrounded them in a fan shape. These wolves are nearly twice as big as ordinary Tibetan wolves, with a strange copper-colored fur. Even stranger, each wolf has a bronze collar engraved with runes around its neck. "Their steps..." Ayi Na's voice trembled, "They move according to the direction of the Big Dipper. This is an ancient curse formation!" She suddenly opened her clothes, revealing a cinnabar-painted totem on her chest to ward off evil spirits. "Hurry up! Go to the ice crack in the northwest!" Zhou Yan suddenly raised his satellite phone: "Wait! I've contacted the rescue team..."
