Chapter One Hundred and Four: Great Qinling

The next day, Ye Fei got up early, loaded a shovel and put it in the space, thought about it and loaded a machete for chopping wood, picked up the dry food prepared last night, gently covered the door, and marched towards the mountain in the twilight that had not yet receded. Ye Fei's entry into the mountain this time was purely to cover up the money he got on Hong Kong Island, otherwise, a large amount of money suddenly appeared, which not only could not be explained to others, but also to the people around him.

A trip to the mountains can shift people's attention to the magic of the mountains and the exploration of the mountains. The reason for his parents is that he has seen a precious medicinal herb in the mountains in the past, but it has not yet grown at that time, so he left it to dig it up now, and it can be sold for a lot of money.

When the sun does not come out, the mountains are quieter than the night, the insects and birds are singing, the mist that rises from the night is filled, and the black curtain that is still nostalgic is enveloped in the mountains and forests, and only the deep valley can occasionally be fortunate to encounter the panorama. The scenery that appears and disappears from time to time makes people feel like they are in a dream, and they can't see the future clearly, and they can't look back on the way they came. This is also resting on Ye Fei, people who are not strong in yang and timid really dare not walk alone through the Mingqi mountain forest that seems to be able to swallow people.

Breathing in the moist and fresh air, Ye Fei walked faster and faster. Since getting the magical space, the body has been constantly transformed, but I can feel that the strength, speed, reflexes, and endurance are all improving day by day, and I have never fully exerted my strength and speed.

Ye Fei had a hunch that if it was released completely without restrictions, it would surpass the limits created by modern people and reach an appalling level, so he had been patient with that kind of desire that would not explode or be happy.

Early in the morning, in the mountains, I am not afraid of shocking the world, and let go of the locks of my mind on my body. A violent force burst out from the bone marrow, as if it wanted to burst the body. The body adjusted automatically, the legs were violently exerted, and a pit of more than ten centimeters appeared under his feet, and the person ejected like a projectile.

Sometimes it is like a bear with a thumping vibration every time it lands, and sometimes it is like a spirit tree climbing and jumping in the forest, blowing like a wind across rivers and rocky streams.

Ye Fei's feeling now was very strange, as if he was out of his body, his mind was calm and curious, staring at his body that was running and jumping without much acceleration. With the catharsis of power, the irritable desire in the heart gradually subsided. The strength is like a flood that bursts an embankment, and the speed suddenly increases to the extreme, and the body suddenly jumps up, rushing downward with the momentum of wind and thunder at a speed that surpasses everything.

A series of afterimages gathered in one place, only to hear the sound of "boom", the stones under his feet cracked in response, and the surging power burst out along his arms and bombarded the trunk of the tree with a thick fist. The tree didn't shake, but when the fist left the tree, there was a creaking sound at the fist print, and the canopy suddenly toppled over. Ye Fei suddenly came back to his senses, only to feel that his mind was clear, his whole body was comfortable, and the restlessness that had accumulated in his chest had long since disappeared, like a calm ocean with wind and waves, wide and endless.

Looking back at the finger mountain that had been left far behind, the sun's rays were not too strong, and a halo was gilded on its edges, like a golden giant sword cutting through the curtain of night and reaching the sky. Looking at the time, I roughly estimated the distance, and felt that it was unbelievable that in less than half an hour, I had crossed three mountains for more than ten miles.

Mountain roads can be different from flat roads, and ten-mile mountain roads are equivalent to thirty or forty miles of flat roads, which still does not take into account the circling dangers of mountain roads. You can see the speed at which it was fully exploding at that time. I can't help but think in my heart, I'm half a superman, right? I don't know if there are gods and monsters in this world, and there are urban abilities written in the novel, if there is, then this world is too crazy.

Thinking of this, he shook his head and threw these distracting thoughts out of his head, it was really stupid, now that science is so developed, it has long been proved that there are no gods and ghosts in the world, everything is just people's fantasy. But how to explain his own space? Ye Fei has never been a master who drills the horns of the bull, he really can't figure it out, so he doesn't want to, whether there are immortals or not doesn't care about his own business for the time being, he just needs to control his daily behavior and performance, and don't be too shocking.

There is no special purpose for entering the mountain today, so you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Qinling Mountains in your spare time. People in the city will never be able to understand the shock of the majestic mountains in front of them. Regardless of the north, south, east and west, turn around, and the Qinling Mountains are full of eyes.

Among the 100 gifts that God has given to mankind, there are three mountains, one of which is the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains, in a broad sense, are huge east-west mountain ranges across central China, stretching from Baishi Mountain in the north of Lintan County, Gansu Province in the west, to being separated by the Dieshan Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains. To the east, enter Nanshan through Maiji Mountain in the south of Tianshui.

At the junction of Nanshan and Jiangsu, it is divided into three branches, the northern branch is Kunshan Mountain, and the remaining vein extends eastward along the south bank of the Yellow River, commonly known as Pishan, the middle branch is Xiong'er Mountain, and the southern branch is Funiu Mountain. A small part of the southern part of the mountain range extends from Nanshan to Yunxian County, Henan. The Qinling Mountains in the narrow sense are the middle section of the Qinling Mountains, located in the central part of Shonan Province.

According to legend, Taibai Mountain of Qinling was the territory of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was also the highest mountain range of Qin, so it was named Qinling. In the Han Dynasty, it had the name of "Qinling", and because it was located in the south of Guanzhong, it was called "Nanshan". The Qinling Mountains are 1,600 kilometers long, tens of kilometers to two or three hundred kilometers wide from north to south, with a vast area, majestic momentum, and magnificent. Jugan, southern Hunan and western Henan, and a small part stretches into the northwest of Hubei Province, showing a "one" shape with both ends slightly upturned to the north. It covers an area of about 120,000 square kilometers. The mountains are high in the west and low in the east. The north side of the mountain range is the Loess Plateau and the North China Plain, and the south side is the red bed basin of low mountains and hills and the Jianghan Plain.

The western section of the Qinling Mountains is low, with an altitude of about 2,000 meters. There are basins such as Chengxian, Huixian, and Liangdang between the mountains. The East Qinling Mountains in the east of the upper reaches of the Jialing River are trending east-west, with tight folds, huge mountains, narrow valleys, and an average height of about 2000~3000 meters.

The main peak, Taibai Mountain, is 3,767 meters above sea level, one of the few peaks in eastern China that exceeds 3,000 meters, and there are ancient glacial relics on the summit. The Qinling Mountains are adjacent to the Weihe Plain in the north, and there are large faults in the middle, which are north-to-south-dipping fault block structures.

The Qinling Mountains are the dividing line between the north and the south in China's climate. In particular, it is manifested in the huge barrier effect of the winter and summer monsoons. The Qinling Mountains also play a role in blocking water vapor, with an average annual precipitation of more than 800 mm on the southern slope and less than 800 mm on the northern slope. The rivers north of the Qinling Mountains have a small amount of water, large flow changes, short flood seasons, large sediment content, and freezing in winter. South rivers on the contrary. It is customary to divide it into the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains and the first line of the Huai River, with a warm temperate humid and semi-humid climate in the north and a humid subtropical climate in the south.

The natural landscapes of the north and south of the Qinling Mountains are different. The northern slope is the warm temperate coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest and deciduous broad-leaved forest, the mountainous Qinling landscape brown soil and mountain brown soil zone, the southern slope is the northern subtropical deciduous broad-leaved mixed forest, yellow-brown soil and yellow-brown soil zone, and the river valley basin is planted with subtropical economic forests, such as citrus, loquat, tung oil, camellia, palm, tea, black tree, Chinese fir, masson pine and cypress.

The main ridge is on the north side, the northern slope is steep and short, and the southern slope is gentle and long. The water system is also asymmetrical. There are many horizontal valleys in the mountains, which are the north-south traffic channels. The Baocheng Railway runs through the mountains along the valley of the Jialing River. The Qinling Mountains have an obvious blocking effect on the airflow operation. In summer, the humid ocean air flow is not easy to penetrate into the northwest, which makes the northern climate dry, and in winter, the cold wave is hindered from the southward invasion, so that the Hanzhong Basin and the Sichuan Basin are less affected by cold air.

Therefore, the Qinling Mountains have become the dividing line between the subtropical zone and the warm temperate zone. The rivers south of the Qinling Mountains are not frozen, and the vegetation is mainly evergreen broad-leaved forest, and the soil is more acidic. To the north of the Qinling Mountains is the famous Loess Plateau, where the average temperature in January is below 0 °C, the rivers are frozen, the plants are mainly deciduous broad-leaved trees, and the soil is rich in calcium.

The Qinling Mountains and the Bailongjiang River basin still preserve contiguous forests, and there are precious animals and plants. Foping in Hanzhong is one of the producing areas of giant pandas. Walnuts in Shangluo area and angelica in Minxian are known for their high yield and high quality.

The natural landscape of the northern and southern slopes of the Qinling Mountains is obviously different. The northern slope of the Yellow River Basin is a warm temperate coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest and deciduous broad-leaved forest. Due to long-term agricultural development, it is now mostly secondary forest. The floristic components and animal species components in the Qinling Mountains have obvious transitional, mixed and complex diversity.

Among the wild animals are giant pandas, golden snub-nosed monkeys, antelopes and other precious species, and birds include crested ibises and black storks, which are protected by the state. Qinling now has the national Taibai Mountain Nature Reserve and Foping Nature Reserve.

The Qinling Mountains not only separate the Yellow River and the Yangtze River, forming the Yellow River culture and the Yangtze River culture with their own characteristics, but also nourishing the Yellow River culture of unremitting self-improvement and introvertedness, and condensing the courage and courage of China's 5,000-year-old historical development. The importance of the Qinling Mountains is not only reflected in the unique ecosystem, but also in the history and culture.

The historical record of the Qinling Mountains in ancient times, in which the monograph describing the distribution of the mountains in ancient China is the first to recommend "Yu Gong", which has "three articles and four columns" for the mountains of the land of China. The Qinling Mountains are in the center and are listed as the middle ones; the second is the saying of "three rivers and two precepts", and the Qinling Mountains divide the yin and yang of the land network; Kunlun has three dragons, and the Qinling Mountains are the middle dragons; the Green Mountains have three trunks, and the Qinling Mountains are the middle trunks, and so on. Therefore, the Qinling Mountains have become an important mountain range in the land of China a long time ago. It is also known as the Chinese dragon vein, suppressing Chinese luck.

Hanzhong area, Ankang area and Shangluo area have found early, middle and late Paleolithic cultural sites very early, it can be inferred that there were human activities in southern Hunan 100-200,000 years ago, and the copper tripods, bells, ceramics and so on unearthed in Yangjia Village, Majia Town, show that the ancestors have a very long history of breeding and living in the Qinling region, and many primitive social sites in many counties in the Qinling Mountains have confirmed the footprints of ancient human activities here.

In the "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", there are records of "Nanshan Tanzhe; Tianshui Longxi Mountain is full of forests; Bashu Guanghan Ben Nanyi, Qin and thought that the county, the mountains, forests, bamboos and trees are rao; Wudu is mixed with Qiang, all of them are southwest and foreign, and Emperor Wu opened his rule at the beginning; Chu has the records of the Hanjiang River, Chuanze, mountains and forests, or fire cultivation and water rake, and fishing and hunting and mountain felling as a business" and "the rao of praising oblique wood, bamboo and arrows", which is enough to show that the forests in the Qinling Mountains were prosperous at that time, and agricultural planting, fishing and logging were the main production methods.

The cultural landscapes in the north and south of the Qinling Mountains also have their own characteristics. There are Maijishan grottoes in the western section of the Qinling Mountains, and the cliffs of the mountains stand on the walls, and the shape is like accumulating wheat. Since the post-Qin period, it has retained 194 caves, more than 7,000 Buddha statues, and more than 1,300 square meters of murals, which is a treasure house of ancient sculpture art. The Guanzhong Plain in the north is known as "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan" in history, and since the Neolithic Age, human agriculture and settlement have appeared, and it is a famous place of cultural relics and historic sites in China. The south of the Qinling Mountains is the fertile field of thousands of miles of "the Sichuan Basin of the Land of Abundance", during which the Qionglai Mountains and the Chengdu Plain are the birthplace of the Shu Han civilization, according to the archaeological discovery of the Guanghan Sanxingdui and Chengdu Jinsha ruins, as early as 3000 years ago in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the ancestors of Shu mastered the very advanced bronze smelting, jade processing technology, is a wonderful branch in the history of ancient Chinese civilization.

The deep-cut river valley in the north-south direction has been the north-south traffic channel since ancient times, among which the famous ones are the Chencang Road through which the Jinbao (Ji) Chengdu (Du) Railway passes, the Meridian Road from Xi'an to Ningxiang, the Baoshui and the Baoshui Road, as well as the Fu Luo Road and the Zhouyang Road. On the northern slope of the Qinling Mountains and the southern edge of the Guanzhong Plain, there are many cultural relics and monuments and rich historical stories. There are the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang and many imperial tombs, the ruins of Feng Ho of the Zhou Dynasty, the ruins of Qin Afang Palace, Louguantai, the tomb of Zhang Liang, the tomb of Cai Lun and other historic sites. Located more than 40 kilometers south of Xi'an City, Zhongnan Mountain has beautiful scenery since ancient times.

"The Book of Songs: Qin Feng" has the verse "What is there in the south, there is a plum". The Tang Dynasty gentry built villas here, among which Wang Wei's Gongchuan Villa was the most prestigious. Most of Wang Wei's beautiful landscape poems describe the scenery here. The Tang Dynasty poet Zu Yong's "Looking at the Remaining Snow in the South" has the verse "The Yin Mountains in the South of the End are beautiful, the snow is floating in the clouds, the forest shows the color of the clouds, and the twilight cold in the city increases".

There are also beautiful peaks such as Cuihua Mountain, Nanwutai and Lishan Mountain nearby, and there are more than 40 large and small temples such as Taiyi Palace and Laojun Nunnery built since the Ming and Qing Dynasties in the mountain, which is a good place for Guanzhong to visit and escape the summer.
