Kunlun Mountain ...... Also known as Kunlunxu, China's first sacred mountain...... It is said to be the birthplace of the Chinese people. According to Chinese legend, the ancestors of the Huaxia people moved from the Kunlun Mountains to the Yellow River Valley, and developed all the way. Although the reliability of this statement is debatable, one thing is certain, Chinese always have a sense of closeness when they mention the name "Kunlun".

But in fact, this mountain range stretches from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west, crosses XJ and XC, and extends to the territory of QH, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, an average altitude of 5,500-6,000 meters, a width of 130-200 kilometers, narrow in the west and wide in the east, with a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers. In such a huge area, it is almost no man's land, even more deserted than XC. With the exception of a few areas where there is human activity, the entire mountain is covered with deserts or at most grasslands, and many areas are made up of rocky deserts. The environment is very treacherous, the mountains are basically no man's land, and the conditions at the foot of the mountains are very difficult.

If ordinary people want to go to that kind of place to play, they must definitely be mentally and materially prepared to endure hardships.

Of all the dangers, the most dangerous is altitude sickness. People on the plains may have altitude sickness at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and it will become difficult to react at a high altitude of 5,000 or 6,000 meters, and even a cold will cause pulmonary edema, and they may not survive for two or three days. The worst part is that the traffic environment is very poor, and most of the area is unroaded. Without a cell phone signal, after passing one village, the next one may be 800 kilometers away. If altitude sickness causes complications such as pulmonary edema, it is unlikely that you will seek medical attention promptly.

In addition, there is the issue of temperature. Due to the high altitude, even in summer, it will be covered by wind and snow from time to time at night, which is enough to freeze people to death. Of course, the traffic problem is also a difficult problem that cannot be ignored, in addition to the "roads that are not roads", the semi-frozen roads in some parts of the road are also very steep. Only military vehicles will pass.

If I have to describe it, this place is a modern wilderness and precipitous place. One of the most frequent training bases for the national mountaineering team is located here.

Of course, having said that, there are actually safer areas and travel routes. For example, if you drive along National Highway 109, you will be safe along the road and you will not have to worry about accidents.

However, in recent years, "travel friends" have become a new force. Most of the hikers are ordinary people, not professional and amateur mountaineers. They don't like (and don't have the ability to) climb peaks that require professional training and special climbing equipment, but they are equally adventurous, and they like a trip that is challenging and even a little risky.

So they will choose some more unique routes.

It should be noted that although it has been said above that most of the Kunlun Mountains are uninhabited areas, in fact, there has been no shortage of human footprints in this place since ancient times. There are cultivators, treasure hunters, hunters, shepherds, and merchants...... Not only that, but this place is also able to find some ancient ruins. After all, in thousands of years of history, there will always be a certain group of people who have set up some checkpoints, fortresses, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples here. However, in all history, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" clearly states that Kunlun Mountain is the "capital of the emperor". On Kunlun Mountain, there are many gods such as the Queen Mother of the West and so on.

In a modern sentence, Kunlun is the nether capital of the Emperor of Heaven.

As time passes, human perceptions and beliefs change. Although the saying of "the Nether Capital of the Heavenly Emperor" has been handed down, it is now impossible to determine who the Heavenly Emperor is. In fact, the identity of the great god in the highest position of the "Emperor of Heaven" that we usually think of today has changed several times, and it is not clear who it is. The Jade Emperor, the Emperor of Heaven, who is recognized by today's people, and the "Book of Songs" in the "Book of Songs" "There are weeks that are not visible, and the emperor's life is not from time to time." King Wen descended, around the emperor. "The Emperor of Heaven is definitely not the same thing. Just as Yun Zhongjun in Chu Ci and Tuiyun Boy and Buwu Langjun in Journey to the West are not the same thing.

Of course, these are things that only Chinese will understand deeply, and foreigners like Thomas must be stunned when they hear it, or even understand anything. Although he liked these incredible oriental mysteries, he was not one to be trained to learn the ancient myths of China (or any other Oriental country). In other words, he knew some fragmentary legends from various books, but he did not know them systematically.

In fact, while Thomas is playing its biggest role at the moment – that is, driving. But this didn't affect Lu Wu in the slightest, and he felt that he shouldn't let this foreigner come over.

This guy Thomas is not only a 300-watt super-large light bulb, but also a big burden. With him, Lu Wu and Amber won't be able to use supernatural abilities at will.

Of course, there are some benefits, if it weren't for Thomas, Lu Wu wouldn't dare to take the car. Of course, the fact that the car is a convertible jeep is also an important factor. Even if there is a traffic accident, Lu Wu is confident that he can get out safely in time. Of course, it's safer to have amber by your side.

"Master, are you sure it's okay?"

"No problem, mate. In the headphones, the master's voice said softly. Convertibles have this problem, because the wind is very loud, so basically whispering is not heard by others at all. Lu Wu can communicate with the master safely. Even Amber couldn't hear the slight sound of the headphone horn in Lu Wu's ears in the wind like this. "So you see, it's definitely a good thing to bring a Thomas. ”

He ...... It's troublesome. ”

"Partner, don't underestimate him, he's a real lucky guy. The master said. "I looked into him, and from the moment he was born, his grandfather's business almost went bankrupt and turned around, and the more he grew, the more his family prospered...... Then one day, he went to journalism, which his family didn't want him to study, and de facto cut ties with his family, and then his family began to decline. ”

"What does this mean?" Lu Wu felt that it was just a coincidence.

"Explain that this person will live if he gains it, and he will die if he gets it. "It's rare for a master to use an ancient Chinese sentence. "Partner, don't question this matter, now that he has been refounded, and then their family has been given a new lease of life immediately. ”

"You mean, cooperation with Ren Jian?" Lu Wu didn't understand it yet. Although this side uses technology provided by masters, it is definitely not available on earth. But in the end, it's just a production line, and the production volume is limited. Even if it makes money, it is only a small amount of money compared to such a large foreign consortium. If there is a real crisis, what is the use of this little money?

"Yes, because that guy ......" the master's voice seemed to laugh, but it was impossible to hear what kind of laughter. "I remember telling you that there is a concept of 'children of destiny' in the world. I've seen such people in more than one world. ”

"You mean Thomas is a child of destiny?"

"Even if not, it's pretty much it. The master replied. "I'm sure if any warlock were to use the magic of the Second Law against Thomas, he would be asking for his own hardship and kicking the iron plate. ”

Lu Wu is still skeptical. He didn't dare to ride in the car before, but now he does it because there is a Thomas in the car. Of course, on the other hand, he really needs a car. Even though a warlock can run as fast as a car, it can't last as long as a car. It must be known that as long as the car has enough gasoline, it doesn't matter if it drives for three days and three nights. And even if the warlock is full of magic, the wear and tear of the human body's joints is unbearable.

"I see, the ancient gods have also experienced repeated rise and fall......" Thomas was still reflecting on Lu Wu's words just now. This kind of thing can only happen to a country like China. After all, the history of Europeans and Americans is too short, but after some early polytheism, they were immediately unified by monotheism such as Christianity. There is no such thing as a change in polytheism itself. "So, Master, do you want to explore the ancient ruins?"

Thomas admires Lu Wu very much, so he always calls Lu Wu "master" in this situation.

"Yes, study the power of ancient beliefs. Lu Wu replied. Of course, there is no need to mention that there is something called the "Divine Seat", which can be used to gather the power of faith and eventually form a materialized divine power. Thomas just needs to know a few things, not everything.

"Is it the faith of the lost 'Heavenly Emperor'?" said this kind of thing, Thomas seemed excited.

"Not sure, maybe. ”

"Master Lu Wu, is it okay for me to be your assistant?" Thomas continued to rub his favorability shamelessly. "I can follow you to study the mysterious history of those ancient times, and as an assistant, I can provide some sponsorship......"

Lu Wu is not interested in money now. Anyway, precious metals will always be hard currency these days, and he is not afraid of running out of money. Of course, the main thing is that he didn't really want to study anything, but to see if it was really a god.

For him, this kind of action is probably just one time, and there is no next one.

"Uh......" Thomas looked back at Amber, then realized his stupidity. He can be regarded as coming from a wealthy family, as everyone knows, rich women will definitely own jewelry, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, without exception. So he still has a little appreciation for jewelry. With this appreciation and good eyesight, he easily discovered that the necklace on the amber chest was not a fake made of plastic, glass, resin, etc., but a real jewel of high value.

Of course, this is also normal - a person with supernatural abilities like Master Lu Wu, unless he deliberately does not touch it, it is not difficult to make a fortune. Moreover, Thomas also understood that the mystical practice in the East was also divided into different schools, some of which emphasized asceticism and used poverty to temper people's will. But others also emphasize the importance of money, arguing that wealth is an effective adjunct to spiritual practice.

It is not clear who is right and who is wrong with these two very different ideas, but it is not surprising that such "masters" are poor or rich. Therefore, in his concept, Master Lu Wu should not be short of money. Amber's jewels are strong evidence to support this hypothesis.
