They stopped and rested for a while. Qilü Monk also treated his wounds. Due to the traffic accident, Su Bai and Qilü Monk, who were supposed to leave in the morning, only arrived at Jiuzhai's boundary at six or seven o 'clock. There was nothing they could do about it. If a car accident happened on such a desolate road in the middle of nowhere, it would take a long time for the traffic police or the tow truck to arrive.
However, after they arrived at Jiuzhai's area, the road conditions became much better than before. The surrounding area finally looked like a small city. In fact, as an area that focused on tourism, the infrastructure was not as good as those big cities, but compared to the other areas in Xichuan that they had experienced before, it was already much better. Moreover, the number of vehicles and people had also become denser. Finally, it was no longer a desolate scene where there were only mountains and grasslands on both sides of the road.
Su Bai held the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone with the other to search for the navigation.
At the same time, he asked, "Monk, which hotel are we staying at?"
"Go straight to the scenic area," Qilü Monk said.
"What time is it now? The scenic area is about to close, right? Even if we sneak in, do we have to carry the family of three in the car? "
The Jiuzhai Scenic Area covered a large area, and its altitude was also very high. With Su Bai and Qilü's ability, it was not difficult for them to skip the ticketing entrance and enter. However, if they had to carry the family of three, it would be a little troublesome.
Most importantly, tourists' cars were not allowed to drive into the scenic area. There were many buses in the scenic area to pick up and drop off tourists.
"There are some Tibetan villages in the scenic area, and Poor Monk knows some of them. Someone will pick us up at the entrance of the scenic area, and we can drive straight into the scenic area."
"Oh, that's fine." Su Bai did not look for a hotel and drove straight to the scenic area.
After a quarter of an hour, the van arrived at the entrance of the scenic area. As expected, the van was stopped at the side entrance. There were more than a dozen security guards there. Su Bai rolled down the window and looked around. At this time, the sky was already a little dark. For the coastal areas of eastern China, the sky was already filled with stars, but for Weichuan, it was only evening.
A few Tibetans seemed to have been waiting there. When they saw the van, they immediately walked over. One of them went to negotiate with the security guard.
Not long after, the people in front let them in. One of the Tibetans indicated that he wanted to get on the car and lead the way. Of course, Qilü Monk would not let him sit in the back with the family of three. He directly opened the door of the front passenger seat and waved at the Tibetan. The Tibetan was a little overwhelmed by the favor and got on the car. He sat on the same seat as Qilü Monk. The rest of the Tibetans would take the sightseeing bus in the scenic area up the mountain back to the village.
"Monk, you sure have a lot of face here," said Su Bai with a smile.
"Master is the great benefactor of our village."
Obviously, the Tibetan sitting next to Qilü Monk understood Mandarin. Of course, there was no reason for the Tibetans living in the scenic area not to speak Mandarin. Otherwise, how could they do business and attract customers?
In fact, with the improvement of the economy in recent years, the pure and original ethnic regional characteristics were very rare. In the beginning, the main focus of the tourism industry in many places was actually to attract tourism resources. In order to attract tourism resources, the so-called ethnic characteristics of the local people, which they rarely wore or even never wore, let everyone wear them, and then let them attract tourists. And these Tibetans who could own their own village in the Jiuzhaigou scenic area were equivalent to opening a hotel in a prime location. The profits from this would definitely be amazing.
When he was young, Su Bai had come to the Jiuzhaigou scenic area with his parents to play. His father even spent money to hire a Tibetan who lived in the scenic area to bring him and the others to the "haizi" that had not been commercially developed to play. Only the local Tibetans knew about these routes.
After driving for about twenty minutes, a Tibetan village appeared on the mountain road in front of them. Along the way, there were actually many sightseeing vehicles full of tourists that brushed past Su Bai's car. Obviously, although the scenic area was closed, there were still many stranded tourists that needed to be sent down the mountain.
The car drove into the village. Under the guidance of the young Tibetan in the car, Su Bai drove the car to the garage. There were actually many good cars parked there. Obviously, the Tibetans here were definitely richer than most of the tourists.
After parking the car, everyone got out of the car. Qilü Monk took out a few talismans from his sleeve and stuck them on the door of the van. Then, he gave a few instructions to the Tibetan, meaning that he should arrange for two people to watch the car. There was something evil in the car, and they should not let their guard down.
This Tibetan really respected Qilü Monk from the bottom of his heart. He believed him directly and promised to arrange it immediately.
Then, Su Bai followed Qilü Monk to the guest room that was arranged. This was a form of rural tourism. While it had the fragrance of Tibetan soil, it also had all the modern hotel facilities. Of course, it was not cheap to stay here.
After a while, the Tibetan who led the way in the car knocked on the door. Qilü Monk told Su Bai that this young Tibetan boy's name was Poji. The village chief or patriarch of this village was Poji's grandfather.
Under Poji's lead, Su Bai and Qilü Monk came to the back of the village, where important guests or sacrificial ceremonies were held. Poji's grandfather could no longer walk, so he sat in a wheelchair. However, he still respectfully waited for the guests at the entrance of the hall.
Seeing Qilü Monk walking towards him, Poji's grandfather put his palms together and bowed to Qilü Monk piously. Qilü Monk chanted "Amitabha" and returned the salute. Then, the group entered the inner room.
A table of dishes had been arranged in the inner room. It was not Tibetan cuisine, but Chinese cuisine. The taste was on the lighter side, probably to suit Qilü Monk's taste.
Su Bai, who had only eaten some bread on the way, was indeed hungry. Qilü Monk and the patriarch were talking, so he started eating first. When Su Bai was almost done eating, Qilü Monk's conversation with the patriarch was also almost over. Qilü Monk simply used some soup to soak two bowls of rice and ate them. Then, he got up and signaled to Su Bai that he was leaving.
"Do we have to be in such a hurry? Are we going to take action at night?" Su Bai was indeed a little tired after driving for a whole day.
"There are tourists everywhere during the day. How can we get things from the Five Color Pool? We can only do it at night."
This time, it was still Poji who led the way. Poji drove his Cayenne out and drove Su Bai and Qilü Monk to the Five Color Pool. Then, Poji waited on the road while Su Bai and Qilü Monk got out of the car.
At night, under the moonlight, the multicolored stone still gave people a beautiful feeling. This pool would refract colorful light under the sunlight, which was very charming. However, it was summer now, and the rain was not very abundant, so the area of the pool was not very large.
Qilü Monk directly climbed over the fence and jumped into the pool. Su Bai hesitated for a moment before jumping in as well. The water in the pool was bone-chilling. After entering the water, Su Bai could not help but shiver.
"Here."
Qilü Monk called out to Su Bai.
Su Bai swam over and dived down with Qilü Monk. In the crack at the bottom of the pool, Qilü Monk pulled out something that looked like a ribbon. It was bright yellow. It was unknown how long it had been soaked in the pool, but it did not rot. It even gave off a feeling that it was as good as new.
Su Bai lifted the stone while Qilü Monk was responsible for pulling out the ribbon. Finally, with the two of them working together, the ribbon that was nearly ten meters long and ten centimeters wide was pulled out. Then, the two of them went ashore together.
"You came all the way here for this?" Su Bai asked while wiping the water off his body. "Is this a magic artifact?"
Qilü Monk nodded. "This is a magic artifact that Poor Monk left here. The lines on it have been damaged, so it can only be preserved and nourished in the Five Color Pool. Tomorrow, when we go to the Snow Treasure Peak in Huanglong, we will need this magic artifact to tie the family of three together. Then, we can use the cold there and the noon light to dissolve their resentment."
After taking the things, Su Bai and Qilü Monk returned to Poggy's car and returned to the village. They still had to rest in the village tonight.
Su Bai and Qilü Monk's rooms were next to each other. After taking a hot bath, Su Bai sat on the edge of the bed. The lights in the room were not turned on, and the television was not turned on either. Su Bai just sat there quietly.
After a while, as if he felt that he had been in a daze for a long time, Su Bai laughed at himself and was about to go to bed. At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and Poggy's voice came from outside.
Su Bai opened the door, and Poggy brought a bowl of soup that emitted a rich fragrance to Su Bai.
Su Bai smiled and thanked him. Then, he took the soup back to his room and drank a few mouthfuls. He felt that the taste was good, and his body suddenly became comfortable and warm. However, the sleepiness suddenly increased. Su Bai drank all the soup in the big bowl, then lay on the bed and fell asleep after a while.
When the sunlight shone into the room and shone on Su Bai's face, Su Bai's eyelids trembled a few times before he slowly opened them. Then, he found that his body was tied up with yellow tape.
"What's the meaning of this?" Su Bai raised his head and asked Qilü Monk, who was standing by his bed.
