Chapter 203: The Road Down the Mountain of Nine Deaths
After listening to Ye Yanan's detailed introduction, I knew that this Yunding Mountain is the only and highest mountain in the Cloud Buddha Sanctuary.
It is also the most sacred place in the Cloud Buddha Sacred Domain, the center of the Cloud Buddha Sacred Domain, and the symbol of the Cloud Buddha Sacred Domain.
The whole Genting Mountain is divided into three parts, the first part is at the foot of the mountain, which is composed of a circle of large and small Yunfo hot springs, which are steaming all day long, and the fairy mist is shrouded in beauty.
Because the hot spring here is as smooth as milk, it can also quench thirst, relax muscles and invigorate blood, and prolong life, so many people come here every year to soak here for a month before going up to the mountain to worship.
The reason why you have to soak in the hot springs for a month to go up the mountain is to strengthen your body and enhance your ability to resist the cold, so that you can have the opportunity to pass through the coldest frozen area of Genting Mountain alive and come to the Yunfo Temple halfway up the mountain.
Second, it is also equivalent to bathing and changing clothes, and entering the Yunfo Temple with the most holy body and mind to worship, which is also the greatest respect for the gods.
The second part of Yunding Mountain is the frozen area, this area is from the foot of the mountain above 100 zhang, to the area between the halfway up the mountain, the overall height is about 1,000 zhang, cold all year round, frozen for thousands of miles, the daytime always remains at about minus 30 degrees, and at night, it drops to about minus 80 or 90 degrees.
Therefore, if you want to survive through this frozen area, which is almost equivalent to six miles, in addition to rushing through the daytime, you must hide in a special sleeping bag filled with fire phoenix feathers and sewn with bear skin at night to survive until the next morning, otherwise there is only one possibility - that is, to freeze to death and become part of the frozen area of Genting Mountain.
As for the third part of Genting Mountain, it is from the halfway point to the summit. In addition to the cloud Buddha temple presided over by the monks, this third part has a pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and rare and exotic beasts abound.
Even precious herbs that are more than 10,000 years old can be seen from time to time, and once these herbs are transported back to the mountain, they are absolutely priceless, and it is not impossible to get rich overnight.
It's just that over the years, there have been few people who have been able to successfully bring these 10,000-year-old herbs back to the foot of the mountain and bring them into the Cloud Buddha Sacred Domain City, but the successful people have all become rich and noble existences in the Cloud Buddha Sacred Domain.
The main reason why it is difficult to bring the 10,000-year-old herbs back to the bottom of the mountain is that they cannot successfully pass through the frozen area, because the 10,000-year-old herbs will instantly turn into a puddle of clear water when they reach the foot of the mountain.
And if you want to pick the 10,000-year-old herbs intact and return to the foot of the mountain to keep them fresh and intact, there is only one way, that is, to hold them in your arms, hold them on your chest, and use your body temperature to keep the herbs at a constant temperature, so that you can successfully bring them back to the foot of the mountain.
However, when crossing the frozen area, the frozen mountain road itself is extremely dangerous, and from time to time there is a danger of avalanches, and it is common to fall to the ground, so it is difficult to protect the herbs in your arms from being squeezed and damaged.
Moreover, at night, you have to carefully hold the herbs into the bearskin fire phoenix sleeping bag to sleep, the space in the sleeping bag itself is narrow, and the person is tired and sleepy, the slightest carelessness will crush the herbs because of turning over, and the success will fall short.
There are also some greedy people who carry too many herbs in their arms, and as a result, the bearskin fire phoenix sleeping bag loses its warmth and freezes to death.
Therefore, every year, many people take risks and take advantage of the opportunity to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha, and pick herbs to go down the mountain by the way, in order to become one of the few rich and noble families in the holy area, but there are very few people who are really successful, and there are even a few people who freeze to death because of this.
After saying this, Ye Yanan also pointed to a snow lotus that had been squeezed not far away, and told me regretfully that this was something she had accidentally picked when she was wandering on the top of the mountain before, and it was a rare holy medicine in the 10,000-year-old herbs-Sansheng Snow Lotus.
Of course, she didn't come to take her down the mountain to sell for money, but to save her brother's life.
Because her brother fell in love at first sight with a girl from a rich family half a year ago, he made a private agreement for life, and eloped. For her brother, who is from a poor family, he is not qualified to like a girl from a rich family at all, which is not only a violation of morals, but also a serious offense to that rich family.
So they were soon found by the killers sent by the girl's family, and they were dragged to the city center to execute her brother in public.
In order to save her brother's life, she had to agree to the request of this rich and noble family, that is, within three months, she would go up the mountain and personally ask Master Sansheng for a peace charm purple card, and she would also bring back another 10,000-year-old herb.
Originally, I planned to take the person who went down the mountain with me after visiting the Master of Sansheng and getting the peace charm purple card to go down the mountain, so I carefully hid it in the clothes on my chest, who knew that she would fall off the cliff by mistake, although the person survived, but the herbs were not only flattened, but also frozen.
What's worse is that the sleeping bag she carried when she came up the mountain is still stored in the temple, because the road from the halfway point to the top of the mountain is very difficult, and it is impossible to climb to the top of the mountain smoothly with a heavy bag.
In addition, when you visit the Master of Sansheng, you can't bring extra things with you, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful to the master, so usually everyone is stored in the temple halfway up the mountain.
In other words, even if Ye Yanan climbed out of this crack-like cave, without a sleeping bag, he would not survive at night, let alone go down the mountain.
After listening to Ye Yanan's experience, I was also angry, thinking that only in this ancient society would this kind of tragedy happen because I liked a girl from a rich family, I would be executed.
If this had been the modern society, the era of free love, such misfortune would not have happened.
Of course, in modern society, rich families also pay attention to the right people, and generally will not agree to their daughters marrying a boy who has nothing, but no matter what, they will not execute a boy in public for eloping.
However, when I heard Ye Yanan mention the Ping An Fu Purple Card, I was very surprised, I didn't expect that in this world, the Ping An Fu Purple Card is actually very popular, and it must be able to sell for a lot of money.
In this way, I feel a lot more at ease, at least the ability to draw the peace charm purple card that I mastered in the first round of test worlds, and I still have a complete memory in this second round of test reincarnation world, that is to say, even in this new reincarnation world, I have the ability to support myself.
"Hey, it's already dark, the temperature is about to drop by dozens of degrees, and we don't have sleeping bags, so we can't survive this night. I really failed to come this time! I didn't get the peace charm purple card, and the 10,000-year-old snow lotus that I finally picked was also destroyed. Now that she is trapped here again, she is about to become a dry bone, and it won't be long before no one remembers that there is a girl named Ye Yanan in this world.
"Actually, it's okay if I die, but I regret forever that I didn't save my brother. Since my parents passed away a long time ago, my brother raised me single-handedly. You know, my brother really hurts, it hurts me a lot, and I wouldn't be alive without him. However, I was finally raised, and now my brother is in trouble, but I can't help at all, what kind of face do you think I have to meet my father and mother under Jiuquan. Woohoo......"
Just when I listened to Ye Yanan's words and fell into deep thought, Ye Yanan continued, and when I said that, I actually cried out loud, which also interrupted my thoughts.
"Oh...... Ye Yanan, don't be too sad. As long as the rich family is not sure that you are dead, and before the prescribed three-month period expires, your brother will not be put to death. After all, they are still very interested in the peace charm purple card and the ten thousand year herbs, so you still have hope of rescuing your brother, and for you, the most important thing at the moment is to stay strong. As long as you live, you will have a chance. ”
I hurriedly comforted, while thinking quickly about how to survive the upcoming minus 80 degrees.
"However, if I hadn't gone back to the temple storage place to pick up my sleeping bag, the other villagers who came with me would have known that something had happened to me. Because the pilgrims who go up the mountain to meet the Master of Sansheng usually return to the temple on the same day, sometimes when the Master Sansheng is unwell, they can still return to the temple after staying on the top of the mountain for two days at most. So after two or three days, if I don't go back to the temple, they will think I'm dead and go straight down the mountain, which is equivalent to bringing back the news of my death. ”
Ye Yanan said helplessly.
"How long does it usually take for them to go back from the mountain in two days?" I asked.
"It's a little easier to go down the mountain than up the mountain, so if it's smooth, it's about the same in a day or two, unlike the one that takes a week to go up, and if it's slow, you have to go down for a week at most. Because you can't bring too much food with you, otherwise it will be more dangerous to go up and down the mountain. In addition, after using the sleeping bag for a maximum of a week at a time, you must replace the fire phoenix feathers inside, otherwise you will freeze to death at night because of the loss of warmth. In other words, there are ten days at most, and if I don't rush back, my brother will die. And even if we had food and sleeping bags now, it would be impossible to go down from the cliff side here. And even at the foot of the mountain, we were still certain to die. ”
Ye Yanan thought for a moment and said slowly.
"Ten days, then we will try to rush back to save your brother within ten days. By the way, why do you have to die if you go down from here to the foot of the mountain?" I said with a firm face, but I asked new questions.
"That's because this side is a cliff, and no one has ever gone up and down Genting Mountain from here, so all the hot springs at the foot of this side of the mountain have been surrounded by rich families and transformed into hot spring tombs, which are the places where the ancestors of rich families are buried. This is because this hot spring also has the advantage of keeping the deceased person fresh forever, and the body does not decay, and it will always remain the same as when it first died. Therefore, this is a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter casually, otherwise they will be caught by the guards and will be executed. After all, disturbing the long sleep of other people's ancestors is a taboo, and their families will not be merciful!"
Ye Yanan patiently explained again, his tone full of deep despair.
After listening to Ye Yanan's words, I knew that if I wanted to return to the mountain alive, it seemed that I really needed a miracle......
