It is said that Namcuo is one of the ultimate scenery of the plateau, while the Holy Elephant Tianmen is the ultimate scenery of Namcuo!

This natural stone elephant that faces the lake from the Tashi Peninsula has various legends. Each legend is extremely beautiful and very well matched with the scenery of the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate itself.

However, the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate is not easy to be seen by the world, and it is nothing else, and the journey here is too difficult.

Even if you drive by yourself, it is not that easy to come from Namcuo Township to the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate.

The asphalt road of about 30 kilometers and the dirt road of 90 kilometers is the road that needs to be taken from Namcuo Township to reach the Shengxiang Tianmen.

Moreover, tickets for the Holy Elephant Tianmen need to be made, and you have to make an appointment three days in advance, with an 80 yuan ticket plus a 33-year-old food and accommodation package...

Of course, Lao Liu and his group would not spend more than 410 yuan in the scenic spot tickets, but it took them a week to get here, and the process was much more difficult than driving alone.

Especially when they arrived at the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate, large swaths of snow were constantly floating down the gloomy sky, which completely lost the sense of surprise that Lao Liu and the others should have seen the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate.

They had never seen the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate before, but had only seen this beautiful and incredible scenery in the picture.

There are various high-definition photos of the Holy Elephant Tianmen on the Internet, there are photos of the sun "card" in the middle of the Tianmen, there are photos of the starry sky full of holy elephants, there are photos of Nianqing Tanggula Peak across the shore of the other side of the Tianmen, and there are also photos of the holy elephant standing alone on the shore of the lake where the water and sky are the same...

There is no doubt that the carefully selected photos on the Internet have made tourists like Chu Qian, Zhang Xinggang, Hao Lei and others come here from thousands of miles away without any fatigue, and then are completely shocked by the magnificent scenery here or cleansing their hearts.

But today, no matter Zhang Xinggang and his wife, three college students, or Chu Qian, under the clouds and snowflakes, there was no surprise at all when they saw the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate.

I was so shocked and happy that I didn’t know where I went.

When a group of seven people arrived at the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate with the increasing snow, the sky was not only much darker, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

When they arrived at the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate, the snow on the ground could already block their feet.

This is not the most shocking thing. What is most shocking is that the heavy snow not only shows no sign of decrease, but is tending to become heavier and heavier.

Moreover, there should be many tourists and vehicles near the Holy Elephant Sky Gate, and there is no scene at all.

I don’t know if the tourists received a blizzard alarm in advance or what happened. Anyway, when the seven of them came here, there was only the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate standing alone by the lake in the world.

"Damn, what should I do now?" Even the old hiker Zhang Xinggang changed his expression.

In fact, the reason why Zhang Xinggang dared to continue to come to the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate in the heavy snow was that he did not want to give up halfway, and another important reason was that he had conducted a detailed strategy survey before hiking. He knew that although the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate was not easy to arrive, some tourists still drove to the city every day.

Even if a blizzard is coming? As long as there are tourists and vehicles here, they can safely withdraw their vehicles to Namcuo Township or Dangquka County, further away.

The result was completely different from what he expected.

Let alone tourists and vehicles, we can't even see a ghost.

Wang Yan was also a little stunned.

"Don't stand there for now? Find a safe place to camp!" Old Liu said in a deep voice. "The situation is not very good now. The first thing we need to ensure is safety."

Zhang Xinggang: "I checked a lot of guides before coming? There is a Camp No. 3 here, which was originally the best place to watch stars at night? Visitors who spend the night at the Shengxiang Tianmen will stay in Camp No. 3."

Wang Yan pointed in one direction and said, "Is that the camp?"

Is heavy snow affecting my vision? If I get a little farther away, I can’t see clearly.

Seven people, one dog, two sheep came to Camp No. 3 in the snow. What made everyone even more shocked was that there was already a tent empty here.

Camp No. 3 is mostly tents similar to yurts. When tourists stay, they usually live in one of four or eight people. Of course, there are management staff here. But unfortunately, when Lao Liu and the others arrived here, there was no one here.

"Damn, the tourist left and left. Why do you think the managers followed?" Teng Zhixin, who was a little anxious, couldn't help but exude fragrance.

"Zhixin, don't complain now? This is normal. At this time last year, a heavy snowfall lasted for several days, which caused a snow disaster. At that time, more than 200 people were trapped in the scenic area of ​​the Thaxi Peninsula, but they were rescued soon. But some tourists were also surrounded by the Shengxiang Tianmen. Although the number was not large, these people were trapped here for five or six days before they were rescued! This situation happened again this year? I guess the camp managers did not dare to stay here? They simply retreated with the tourists."

"My God? Then what should we do?" Chu Qian couldn't help but hold Lao Liu's arm again, as if Lao Liu had become his only support at this moment.

"Wait, I'll call first...Damn, why is there no signal? Chu Qian, what phone do you use?"

"My? Xiaomi phone..."

"Cough... interrupted randomly! I asked if you are using Mobile, China Unicom or Telecom?"

"Oh, mine is mobile. Oh, don't you know my number? Why don't you know which telecom operator I use?"

"Damn, we are the same. So, don't fight for this now. Hello, guys, take out your phone and see if there is any signal?"

After Lao Liu's voice stopped, the other five people took out their phones, but there was no signal.

"It should be the heavy snow that affected the communication lines." Lao Liu made a judgment with certainty.

Hao Lei frowned and said, "Brother Liu, snow should not affect the communication lines, right? Nowadays, mobile communication base stations are transmitted using optical cables. No matter how heavy the snow is, it will not affect the signal transmission. Even if the power is cut off, the base stations will have batteries, which can ensure that the base station works for more than six hours."

"Hmm? How do you know this?"

"Hehe, I went to Nanyou University and studied this major."

This kid is quite proud.

However, Old Liu glanced at the guy and asked angrily: "Then have you seen a communication pole along the way?"

Now Hao Lei is scratching his scalp.

"This place does not shit, but chickens do not lay eggs. You have set up a communication line for just a few base stations. Do you think it is possible?"

"Brother Liu, do you mean that the communication base stations here are all microwave transmissions?"

"I really don't know how you studied in college? Even I, who doesn't understand communication, knows this. Why didn't you expect it?"

Hao Lei's face turned red.

Lao Liu naturally doesn't understand communications, but Mo Long's friend Li Wei is an expert in this field.

They started out in communications projects.

After arriving at the plateau, he undertakes many projects from telecom operators, including the upgrade project of the mobile communication base station in Namtou Scenic Area.

This is what he said when he was drinking with Li Wei before.

In his words, the communication base stations on Namtuo are all transmitted using microwaves.

Microwave transmission is a very good communication transmission method. The communication distance is long and the terrain has little impact on this communication method.

Of course, the impact of weather on microwave transmission is relatively large. Weathers such as heavy fog and snow have the greatest impact on microwave transmission.

Since the communication base stations here are all transmitted using microwaves, communication will naturally be greatly affected on heavy snow days.

Chu Qian decisively took out her satellite phone and said, "Use this."

Lao Liu nodded and took the phone. When he turned on the phone and waited for the GPS positioning, Lao Liu said to Zhang Xinggang, Hao Lei and Teng Zhixin: "Brother Gang, Zhixin and Leizi, you three first look for nearby caves to see if there are suitable caves. I remember there are cliff caves near the Shengxiang Tianmen, which seems to be the place where monks practiced before. Sister Yan, you and Zhenzhen are walking around the camp to see if other tents can withstand it."

Zhang Xinggang asked in confusion: "Isn't there Camp No. 3 there? Why don't we stay in Camp No. 3?"

"Brother Gang, do you think if the snow falls like this, those tents can stand it? What if we live in it and the heavy snow crushes the tent when we sleep at night, then we will have to be buried by the heavy snow?"

Zhang Xinggang patted his forehead and said, "Let's go, Zhixin, Leizi, come with me to find a cave."

At this time, the satellite phone had already been connected, and Lao Liu dialed out according to the dialing method of the satellite phone.

"Hey, my uncle, it's me... Oh, this is using Chu Qian's satellite phone. Well, let's not talk about it anymore, the phone bill is quite expensive. My uncle, listen, Chu Qian and I and five other hikers are trapped in the Holy Elephant Sky Gate... Well, the snow here is getting heavier and heavier, who knows how far it can be. That Xiaolong is at home now, right? Well, then, you or Tian Peng can see if you can come here to pick us up... Well, depending on the situation, try to come as much as possible if you can't come. Don't force me to get there... I don't have a big problem here. I bought two live sheep from the passing Zangzi at noon. These two sheep are enough for us to eat for several days... Okay, then you and Tian Peng will suffer and go there."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Qian asked expectantly: "Can your uncle and your friends come to pick us up? I'm really a little scared now. If I had known it, I would have listened to you and not go this trip."

Although Old Liu was also very anxious now, he still smiled on his face and said in a very confident tone: "Chu Qian, you don't need to be afraid. What's there to be afraid of? Don't you still have me around you? Besides, what's the snow? When my dad and I went to Daxinganling, Northeast that winter, it also caught the heavy snow. The heavy snow was so heavy that it buried the door of the house we lived in overnight, and the door couldn't be opened. Guess how we got out?"

“Crawled out of the window?”

"Yeah, aren't you quite smart..."

"Go to yours..." Chu Qian smiled and punched Lao Liu twice.

"Well, I remember it very clearly. Because the door couldn't be opened, my dad smashed the window glass two pieces. You may not know that the walls of the houses on the Daxinganling side were very thick, almost one meter away, and the windows were all two layers. Open the window inside, and there was a layer of window outside. However, the window outside was buried by snow, so I could only smash the glass. Then I started digging out the snow from the smashed glass, and finally dug out of the window. Guess how deep the snow was that day?"

"It must be very deep! You said just now that even the window glass was buried, it was no more than two meters deep?"

"Two meters? You guessed that's a little short. The house where my dad and I lived happened to be in a snow nest. As a result, it was snowing and windy that night, and the snow outside our house almost buried the house. If it weren't for the chimney leading out of the house, my dad and I would have been suffocated by the snow that night..."

"Ah? So deep?"

"Well, it's so deep. The snow path I dug out in the end was almost as high as we were on both sides!"

"God, this is so scary."

"Hehe, so are you still afraid of this little snow today?"

Chu Qian was a little moved, stared at Lao Li in a daze and said, "You are so nice."

"No, don't send me a good person card! If you send me a good person card, my future son's mother will fly..."

"Oh, you stinky gangster, I and you are not finished..."

During the fight, Zhang Xinggang brought Hao Lei and Teng Zhixin back, and Wang Yan brought Fang Zhenzhen back. In this moment, the people were covered in snow.

Zhang Xinggang: "Xiao Liu, there is a dilapidated temple under the cliff in the north, and there are some caves behind the temple, some big and some small."

Wang Yan: "Xiao Liu, the other tents in this camp are no different from this tent. If this tent can't be held, I think other tents are going to be bad."

"Well. I just talked to my family and they have already driven over to pick us up. If they can cross Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, they will probably be here in about three hours. But if the road is closed, they will not be able to come."

Zhang Xinggang asked quietly: "Xiao Liu, it should be very likely to close the road, right?"

Lao Liu did not answer this question, just nodded, and then said, "I suggest that we take action first. Regardless of whether my car can come or not, we should be prepared to be trapped first. Brother Gang, Zhixin, Leizi, the four of us men collected the fuel from the camp tent and moved them all to the cave behind. Sister Yan, Zhenzhen and Chu Qian, you three are responsible for collecting the ingredients left in the camp. Oh, by the way, after these things are collected, we will collect some things for keeping warm."

Zhang Xinggang asked hesitantly: "Brother Liu, are we okay doing this?"

"There is nothing good or bad. The most urgent thing is to ensure our own safety first. Those things are secondary! GO!GO!GO! Take action immediately and take advantage of the snow that has not blocked our road, so we should hurry up and collect things."

Old Liu took the white lion and led the two sheep to the largest cave that Zhang Xinggang found and looked at it. He found that the area here is quite good, and at least the problem of accommodating the seven of them was not very big.

This cave should be the place where practitioners practiced hard a long time ago.

However, at this time, Old Liu didn’t care whether he could settle here. In this case, saving his life is the first priority!
Chapter completed!
