Chapter 169: Reishi King!
Translator: AstralGhostEditor: Kurisu
After eating his fill, Bei Feng opened the windows and lay on the bed. He did not do anything else except staring at the ceiling and listening to the unceasing stream of traffic and people. After a while, he drifted into sleep.
That one sleep actually lasted for an entire day!
”Haaa!”
Bei Feng rubbed his eyes lightly and yawned loudly as he stretched his lethargic body. His spirit was reinvigorated, and his mind was much fresher after a good sleep.
From the clock on the wall, it was 6.50 am. Bei Feng changed into the clothes that the hotel service bought for him. He allowed his hair to fall carelessly onto his back, and left the room.
After a hearty breakfast, he prepared to head towards the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo.
In Tibetan language, Linzhi means Throne of the Sun. It refers to the place from which the sun rises. It is located in the autonomous southeastern region of Tibet, averaging about 3,100 meters above sea level!
The climate here was pleasant, and not as cold as other parts of Tibet. The daytime here was also longer. Although it was still snowing, the cold was not as bitter, and did not cause people to feel dread.
Everywhere Bei Feng went, people would quickly scoot aside, giving him as wide a berth as possible. Right now, his looks were truly terrifying. Judging by the hideous scars on his face, it seemed obvious that he was not a good person with just a glance.
After his wounds healed, the flesh which grew over it had been swollen and raised, causing them to look like fat, nasty centipedes.
Bei Feng boarded the bus towards the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo. He chose a seat beside the window and gazed outwards as he contemplated the local conditions and customs of this place.
From time to time, he could see numerous esteemed Lamas walking through the streets. Their faces carried neither joy nor sorrow, and were filled with solemness and serenity. [1]
Although the distance was not far, the journey was not an easy one. The road was filled with twisting mountainous roads, and it took over two hours for them to arrive.
He bought an entrance ticket costing a full 270 yuan. This was Bei Feng's final stop.
Having come to Linzhi, how could he not pay a visit to the greatest geographical discovery of the last century?
The canyon cut its way through the Himalayan mountain range, gushing into the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo on the southeast slope of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Known as the biggest, longest, and deepest canyon in the world, the Great Canyon of Yarlung Tsangpo has an average depth of 5,000 meters, with its deepest part being 5382 meters! It stretches from the head of the canyon all the way to the borders of Pasighat, measuring 496.3 kilometers in length!
The glaciers, cliffs, steep slopes, and debris-filled rapid rivers flowing in the entire canyon region were all intertwined together to form an extremely treacherous environment. The place was so perilous that much of it was still deserted and inaccessible to humans. To date, the place remained one of Earth's last unexplored regions!
Bei Feng got off the bus in a leisurely manner. He did not have any luggage on him, causing him to stand out quite a bit from the other passengers.
”Yi?”
Not far from Bei Feng, a stunningly beautiful girl gasped aloud.
The girl's appearance was akin to the description of River Goddess Luo in the rhapsody Luoshenfu. She was like an ice sculpture and jade carving, dreamy and illusory, delicate and charming beyond compare. Her appearance seemed to even exceed that of the fabled great Chinese beauty, Xizi!
She looked lucid and elegant, as clean as ice and as pure as jade, like a fairy from a painting, standing far above the mundane crowd.
Her demeanor was like she was shining with a subdued pinkish hue like light morning clouds, and the luster of her skin was like jade, akin to a heavenly fairy.
Her poise was like a beautiful orchid, resplendent and alluring, giving one an unforgettable impression!
An elegant snow white fur coat was put on her slender frame, complementing her looks, causing her to shine even more brilliantly! Every male who walked past had their eyes stuck to her, but the group of people surrounding her caused them to hesitate, not daring to approach.
”What's wrong, Little Sister?”
Another heaven-defying beauty whose looks did not pale in comparison to the girl walked over. The two beauties seemed to have been cast from the same mold in terms of appearance, but their temperaments were vastly different, just like the snow lotuses on the heavenly mountains!
