On that day, my old comrade-in-arms Li Tiezhu and his family went to the beautiful Huangshan Mountain. When we were soldiers, we were good brothers who carried guns and crossed rivers together, and we didn't break off contact after we left the army. On this trip, Tiezhu was generous and hospitable, and what to say was to open the eyes of my wife and children.
Early in the morning, we drove to Huangshan. Tie Zhu's son Xiaowei drove, his daughter Xiaofang sat in the co-pilot, and Tie Zhu and I sat in the back, chatting hotly along the way. As soon as I arrived at the foot of the Yellow Mountain, Tiezhu pulled me to see a mysterious master who was said to be able to predict the future.
"I said Iron Pillar, you don't believe this, do you?" I asked, half-convinced.
"Hey, let's have a good time, maybe we really have some adventure!" Tie Zhu said expectantly.
Under the guidance of the masters, we chose a more steep climbing route. At first, everyone was still in high spirits, but it didn't take long for the problem to come. My wife suddenly slipped and almost fell. Fortunately, Tiezhu reacted quickly and grabbed her.
"Oops, it's too slippery, let's be careful." My wife said with trepidation.
"It's okay, this road is off the beaten track and the scenery is absolutely unique." The iron pillar patted his chest and promised.
However, the road ahead is getting tougher. Xiaowei and Xiaofang walked in front, and my wife and Tiezhu and I walked behind. Suddenly, the sky was cloudy, and a rainstorm was imminent.
"We've got to find a place to hide from the rain!" Tie Zhu said anxiously.
We quickened our pace and finally found shelter from the rain in a cave. The cave was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. I was about to complain, but I heard the iron pillar shout in surprise: "Look, there's treasure here!" ”
It turned out that this cave contained a chest of gold and silver treasures. We excitedly opened the chest, and there was a map indicating the location of another treasure.
"It's amazing! We're really lucky this time! Tiezhu exclaimed excitedly.
After the rain cleared, we decided to continue our adventure. Following the guidance of the map, we crossed the mountains and finally came to a quiet valley. However, there is no trace of treasure here.
"Tiezhu, did you read the map by mistake?" I asked with some disappointment.
"Impossible, I can see it clearly!" Tiezhu firmly believes in his own judgment.
Just when we were at a loss, Xiaowei suddenly discovered a cave deep in the valley. We followed him into the cave and sure enough, we found another chest of treasure.
On this trip, we not only enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Huangshan, but also unexpectedly found two boxes of treasures. The generous hospitality of the iron pillars made our stay unforgettable. On the way home, we made an appointment to go on an adventure together next time to find more surprises.
"Thanks to you this time, Iron Pillar." I said gratefully.
"Hey, we're comrades-in-arms, you're welcome!" The iron pillar laughed, and the sunlight outside the car window shone on us, warm.
In the days that followed, we were immersed in the joy of finding the treasure. Tie Zhu proposed that we should hand over the treasure to the state, so that more people can understand the history and culture of Huangshan. I agree with him, after all, these treasures belong to the entire nation, and it is our duty to protect them.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at the local antiquities department with the treasure. Experts were shocked by our findings and said it was a discovery of great historical value. Tiezhu and I looked at each other and smiled, and we were proud to have contributed to the country.
In the days that followed, stories of our adventures spread throughout the town. One day, Tie Zhu suddenly found me and said mysteriously: "Brother, I have an idea, should we go to Huangshan again?" ”
"Huh? Still going to Huangshan? I looked at him quizzically.
"Yes, let's go to a different place this time." Iron Pillar's eyes flashed with excitement.
Unable to resist Tiezhu's enthusiasm, I agreed to his invitation. This time, we chose a remote path in Huangshan, where it is said that there is a mysterious ancient temple.
When we came to the ancient temple, the sun was setting, and the sun was shining through the leaves on the roof of the temple, which was extraordinarily peaceful. The iron pillar gently pushed open the gate of the ancient temple, and an ancient aura came to his face. There is a statue of Buddha enshrined in the ancient temple, and it is covered with dust, and it is clear that no one has been here for a long time.
"It's a mysterious, I don't know if there will be new discoveries." I looked around curiously.
"Let's split up and see." Iron pillar proposed.
After searching around the ancient temple, I found a secret door hidden behind the Buddha statue. I excitedly called for the iron pillar, and we cautiously opened the secret door, revealing a secret room.
The secret room is full of various ancient books and artifacts, and one of the worn-out books caught our attention. Tie Zhu carefully opened the book, which recorded a legend about Huangshan.
"It turns out that there is such a secret in Huangshan!" Iron Pillar exclaimed.
We decided to take this secret out of the ancient temple so that more people can understand the magic of Huangshan. On the way home, we discussed how to tell the legend to the world.
In this expedition, we have a new harvest. Tiezhu's generous hospitality made us feel the depth of comradeship. In the days to come, we will continue to explore together to find more unknown secrets.
"Tiezhu, where are we going next time?" I asked curiously.
"Haha, that's a good question. I already have a new goal, let's go ...... next time" Tie Zhu deliberately sold a pass, and then said with a smile: "Confidential!" You'll know when the time comes! ”
I smiled and shook my head, this old comrade-in-arms can always bring me unexpected surprises. And the story of our adventure will continue to be written. Under the witness of Huangshan, our friendship has become deeper and deeper.
Iron Pillar's new goal filled me with curiosity. For the next few weeks, he always deliberately avoided the topic, and whenever I asked, he always laughed and didn't answer, which made my heart itch. Until one day, he finally announced our next destination.
"Let's go to Tibet." There was a hint of mystery in Tiezhu's tone.
"Tibet?" I looked at him in amazement, "What secrets are there waiting for us to discover?" ”
"You'll know when you go." Iron Pillar's eyes sparkled with excitement.
We're more prepared than we were last time. Tiezhu's son, Xiaowei, volunteered to go to Tibet with us. Out of curiosity, Xiao Fang decided to join our expedition. A group of five of us, with full expectations, embarked on a journey to Tibet.
The sky in Tibet is blue, and the air is thin and fresh. Our first stop was the Potala Palace, where the solemnity shook each of us. Tie Zhu didn't seem interested in the Potala Palace, and he led us to a small village in the middle of nowhere.
"This is where our expedition really begins." Tiezhu said mysteriously.
In the village, we met an old Tibetan man who seemed to know that we were coming and received us warmly. The old man told us that there is a legend about an ancient treasure in the village, and it is for this legend that the Iron Pillar brought us here.
"This treasure is said to be hidden in a mysterious temple that only those who are truly destined to find it." The old man said leisurely.
We were fascinated by the old man's words and decided to set off the next day in search of the mysterious temple. Early the next morning, we set out along a rugged mountain road with a local guide.
Along the way, we encountered all kinds of difficulties. The weather in the highlands is unpredictable, sometimes sunny, sometimes blizzard. While escaping a snowstorm, I accidentally sprained my ankle.
"Brother, are you alright?" Tiezhu asked nervously.
"It's fine, just a twist." I said through the pain.
The iron pillar didn't say a word, and I continued to move forward with my back. At that moment, I felt the power of comradeship, as if I had returned to the days when I fought side by side.
After several days of arduous trekking, we finally found the mysterious temple hidden deep in the snow-capped mountains. The doors of the temple were closed and covered with a thick layer of dust, apparently no one had been here for a long time.
The iron pillar carefully pushed open the door of the temple, and our group walked inside. The interior of the temple is decorated with elaborate frescoes with a huge Buddha statue in the center. At the foot of the Buddha statue, we found a mechanism.
"This mechanism should be the entrance to the treasure." Tie Zhu said excitedly.
Together, we opened the trap, revealing a stone staircase that descended downward. We cautiously walked down to a spacious basement. In the center of the basement, an old chest sits along.
We excitedly opened the chest, and it was not gold or silver treasures, but a complete set of scriptures. These scriptures are of great value for the study of Tibetan culture.
"Although we didn't find the treasure this time, we did find a more precious cultural treasure." Tie Zhu said with emotion.
Once again, our adventure has come to a successful end. After returning to our hometown, we handed over the scroll to the state, which was highly praised by the experts. And our friendship has also become deeper through each expedition. The generous hospitality of the iron pillar made us feel the joy of adventure, and also made us understand that the real treasure is not only gold and silver treasures, but also those years and precious memories that have passed with us.
Next, we will continue our adventure.
"You see, what is recorded in this scripture should be the legendary treasure." Xiao Fang excitedly pointed to the pattern on the scroll and said to us.
We gathered around the scrolls, carefully studying the patterns and words on them. The scroll depicts an ancient legend about a treasure that held an important place in Tibetan culture.
"According to this pattern, the treasure should be somewhere in this temple." Xiaowei speculated.
We began to look for clues in the temple, carefully observing every mural and every Buddha statue, trying to find the hidden mechanism in it. As the days passed, our search continued to make no progress.
"You see, the base of this Buddha statue doesn't seem to be the same as the others." Tie Zhu suddenly pointed to one of the Buddha statues and said.
We looked closely and found that there were some special symbols carved on the base of this Buddha statue. After some research, we found that these symbols echoed the patterns on the scrolls.
"Maybe that's the key to unlocking the treasure." Xiao Fang guessed.
We carefully touched the symbols, and suddenly, the base of the Buddha statue slowly moved, revealing a dark passage. We excitedly walked into the dark passage and found a huge treasure chest inside.
When we opened the treasure chest, it was not the gold and silver treasure we imagined, but an ancient scripture book. The text of the Scriptures is unrecognizable, but it is certainly a priceless treasure.
"In this expedition, although we did not find the legendary treasure, we found something more precious." Tie Zhu said with emotion.
We carefully brought back the scriptures and handed them over to the experts to study. Experts tell us that this sutra is of great value for the study of Tibetan culture.
This expedition yielded unexpected results and a deeper understanding of the charm of Tibetan culture. Our friendship was also sublimated during this journey.
"Tiezhu, are we going to go on an expedition together next time?" I asked expectantly.
"Of course, our story is far from over." Tie Zhu replied with a smile.
In this way, our adventure story continues, and we will continue to explore more unknown secrets and find more precious memories together.
