Chapter 984: Walking on a path that no one has walked before

"Princess, we all know that in fact, you don't like places with a lot of people, because you always feel that other people have all kinds of different thoughts that will affect you, so you feel very annoyed, so we might as well go to a place with few people, since we are in the desert, the place we will go to is basically an oasis and an oasis, that is, a place where people gather, and occasionally we will meet a caravan of Han people, and their actions do not meet your expectations of the Han people, which makes you feel sad in your heart.

Then we might as well go to places where there are fewer people, and places that are difficult for the average person to reach.

Even the people in that place need to trade, they need to get out on their own, and not that there are merchants who will walk in. ”

Qian Rujun became interested and said, "Where are you talking about?"

"I studied the information that everyone has collected over the time, and I feel that there are no Han people in this place. ”

"The Pamir Mountains are indeed a good place.

Let's go to the high places to get poisoned, and then we go to rest by sea. ”

In an instant, a topographic map of the world appeared in Qian Rujun's mind, and he decided on his next plan.

The Pamir Mountains, connected with the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, constitute a high Asia with an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters.

Four thousand meters is not very high in Qian Rujun's heart, but the range of four thousand meters here is very large, and the vast highland makes it form an environment of different flat areas.

There are five major mountain ranges around the Pamir: the Tien Shan, the Kunlun, the Karakoram and the Himalayas, and the Hindu Kush, which geographers call the knot.

The Pamirs are steep in mountains, covered with snow all year round, surrounded by glaciers and crystalline water, which flows into rivers and lakes with melted snow. Formed reservoirs of Eurasia.

The Pamirs have some contradictory properties. It is both remote and central, both a danger and a thoroughfare.

The Pamirs divide the Asian continent into separate regions of Eastern, Southern, West and North Asia, and provide a series of hidden and resilient passages that connect the regions and become transportation hubs.

Green Ridge is one of the most familiar place names in the Western Regions.

The ancestor of ten thousand mountains, one vertical and four horizontal.

The entire snow-capped Pamir knot resembles a silver-white giant bird flying westward, the Himalayas outline its soft chest and abdomen, the Kunlun Mountains and the Altun Mountains are powerful wings, and the Pamirs are the round and graceful head of this giant bird, and the Hindu Kush Mountains are inclined to the southwest is its long beak. This bird also has a long crown of feathers that flutter backwards, and that is the beautiful Tianshan mountain range.

At the same time, the Pamir is also the birthplace and watershed of the three major river systems of the Tarim, Amu Darya and Indus rivers.

Pamir, known as Buzhou Mountain in ancient times.

It's a vast place, so it's home to a variety of environments, from deserts with no people to beautiful grasslands.

Emaciated horses graze here and become fat again.

But this place, after all, is a highland, and it has to endure the environment of the high mountains, and the problems of lack of oxygen and cold are particularly serious.

It is not easy to find a trough like the Rift Valley in southern Tibet here.

The biggest problem here is that pedestrians have to carry enough food.

It just so happened that this problem was not a big problem for Qian Rujun and them.

It's so cold that the fire doesn't light up.

Fortunately, students on Xuetang Island have an advantage, as long as they don't leave Qian Rujun, they don't have to endure the cold all the time.

When it's really too cold to bear, they can hide in the e-paper space to get enough warmth.

On the ancient Silk Road, which is more than 7,000 kilometers long, the Pamir section is the most difficult and complicated.

This long and arduous journey was once regarded by travelers as an obstacle to the communication between the East and the West.

However, it is the only way for the middle and southern routes of the Silk Road, which means that Qian Rujun wants to go south, and this has become a necessary passage.

So the Green Ridge and his entourage, there is a need to go, and with their equipment, they can do the most complete investigation of this era, even if they have aborigines, it is difficult for the aborigines to defeat them.

Qian Rujun can also improve their lives a little.

At the very least, the clay pot will bring a few.

The pebbles on the plateau seem ordinary to the eye, but thinking about the thousands of years they have experienced, they feel that even the stones have become great.

Wind and rain, snow, or the earth shakes the mountains, and every small pebble may come from the highest peak to the foot of the mountain.

Out of Kashgar, passing through the Shule Oasis, the students of Xuetang Island decided to step on this land themselves, passing a red stone mountain, they came to rest for a while, the red stone mountain and a series of other blue-gray mountains stand next to each other, and the plains between the valleys, there are small green spaces and tall aspen and sand date trees.

The rocks contain minerals that oxidize in the air, turning the mountain rusty red.

Further on, the mountains of the Pamirs appear in front of you.

Once you enter the Gezi Gorge, you begin to embark on the Silk Road.

The waters of the Gezi River are rushing and roaring, and the sound is huge.

"The stones in here may all be jade. ”

"Princess, shall we mine it ourselves? ”

"Now is not the time, when the river dries up, you can mine. ”

"Such a raging river will dry up?"

"The sea can become a mulberry field!"

"I suddenly felt like the years were great. can change everything, and the youthful face will also get old. ”

"So we're going to live each day well!"

The road to the Pamirs goes higher and higher, and it is said that there is no road.

Sometimes they have to climb cliffs, all kinds of roads, it's a challenge, but the students of Gakudo Island seem to have a lot of fun.

The grey mountains looked unusually cold in the shadows.

"Do you feel that the color of the mountain has changed again?"

"Yes, the sun is getting less and less warm. The earth grew cold. ”

If there is a life in this place, due to the lack of oxygen in people, although the mineral and jade resources are abundant, but it is very difficult to transport them out for sale, come to this place, perhaps only a kind of challenge psychology of merchants can let them mine resources in this place, even jade can be sold at a good price in this era.

There is no grass growing on the Gobi, there is no growth on the grassland, the vegetables that people often eat, the biting wind often blows on the high mountains, and avalanches often occur, which is a fatal injury to people.

Qian Rujun knows that there is actually a more serious disaster, which is invisible to the eyes, and ultraviolet rays are particularly strong on the plateau, and ultraviolet rays can cause skin lesions.

Due to the extreme lack of oxygen to sleep in this place, the head must be tilted 25 degrees to the water level, otherwise it will be life-threatening.

"I found that there are almost no wild vegetables along the road, you can pick vegetables, if it is the people who live in this place, how can they eat vegetables, we can eat the vegetables provided by the princess, there is no problem, but what about the other merchants?"

"Don't ask this kind of question, I don't see other merchants on the road, don't you see half of it?, and although this road seems to be walked, most of it is not accessible to ordinary people. ”

Qian Rujun and Wen Liang and the students of Xuetang Island passed through a winding mountain road, and after the mountains and mountains, dazzling ice peaks were revealed.

In this place, the peaks are connected by the peaks.

The Pamirs, named after the wild onions and verdant mountain cliffs, are made up of several groups of mountains and wide valleys and basins between the mountains.

Standing in the distance and looking at the mountain peaks is always fascinating, and the mountains are out of reach at this time. Standing in the distance, if you are like the holiness and nobility on the mountain peak, but when you really enter it, you will find the danger in it.

"There is a lake in front. ”

"It's so cold here, and the lake should be so cold, do you still want to go into the water?"

"I don't want to go into the water at all, but you look at the lake as green as a mirror, the dark clouds in the low sky, the sun scattered in the middle, the lake is so calm, it makes people feel refreshed. ”

"Suddenly seeing the mountain peaks in the distance reflecting the lake, it is particularly beautiful, which is the best portrayal of the beautiful scenery that can be seen when you walk around the world. ”

Qian Rujun guessed that if they had dirty hands and cameras, they would have fallen into a frenzy of taking pictures by now.

They had passed by the Mingsha Mountain in Dunhuang, which was wider than the Baisha Mountain in front of them, but they remembered that he was on the mountain, like stepping on the soft earth, stepping out and taking half a step back.

Looking at the white sand mountains across the lake on the Pamir Plateau, I thought to myself if I set foot on the snow-capped mountains, would it be a more difficult challenge for me.

Standing on this land in person, I can understand how difficult it is for Xuanzang to go to the west to learn the truth, not to mention that now Qian Rujun has a way to prove it, although the time is hundreds of years longer than Xuanzang's, but the cheating device owned by Qian Rujun makes it not too difficult for him to embark on this road, Xuanzang is money without a cheating device, and Rujun just imagines that the food he needs to carry is a big problem.

The trip to the Western Regions embodies an extremely tenacious human spirit, and tells the world the true meaning of pursuing goals.

In fact, Qian Rujun felt that he was actually too crazy, and believed that there were many people who were as crazy as him, and others were not recorded because they failed, and he was recorded because he was a success.

What Qian Rujun admires is that Xuanzang was already an old man at that time, but he worked hard to embark on the road that ordinary people couldn't walk, and succeeded.

What's more, walking alone on this road in the Western Desert is equivalent to the road of death, so almost everyone who promised to take her with him retreated, but even if others retreated, he still walked towards this road alone.

After a long journey of more than a year under a layer of treacherous and difficult conditions, and passing through such a difficult place as the Green Ridge, it can be known that when Xuanzang passed through the Green Ridge at that time, he was not smart enough to meet it with the best face, because the place it passed through was deserted and very difficult, well, the food he carried at that time must have been very insufficient.

This is even deeper, Qian Rujun took this road to the body poison.

On the rest of the journey, on Xuetang Island, the students will never be excited to see the lake anymore, because Hu Bo is getting colder and colder, and they always see mountain peaks and lakes one after another, and there are some strange fish in the lakes, and then there are some strange fish.

Find students to see fishing for fish in every lake as a task, and a mission.

When they caught the fish, they tasted the flavors and began to record the flavors, and they recorded the characteristics of the lakes and the appearance of the peaks.

They have become contemporary geographers of the Han Dynasty.

When I looked at the peaks on the mountain, I didn't feel the majesty of the peaks except for the cold, because the difference between the trees was not too big at this time.

On the third day, the thick white clouds and water chestnuts that pierced the sky pulled the sky down, and the hazy clouds rolling in the sky seemed to be able to reach out and touch them, but in fact the clouds were not on the mountains, but under their feet.

On the plateau, when there is wind, clouds come, and when clouds are thick, it rains.

Of course, it doesn't necessarily rain, it depends on whether it's day or night, but Qian Rujun never allows the students of Xuetang Island to be active outside at night, because the night in the alpine area is too cold, and it has a certain degree of harm to the body of the students on Xuetang Island, in order to protect the students, Qian Rujun let them go into the space to rest at night, and only allowed them to go out during the day, as for them to get to the space, how do they know that it is daytime outside, in fact, they will also calculate the time, but most of the time it is Qian Rujun who tells them that it is already daytime outside, and they go out with them。

They came to a lake, and the water of the lake was black, unless the sun was shining through, and where the sun did not shine, it was black, and they walked to the lake, and felt the clear and cold water with their hands, and under the lake were fine broken stones.

The water on the shore is not deep, and even at this time, many newlywed couples on Xuetang Island wander in this place Although the water is very cold, the scenery of this land is too beautiful, let them forget the cold, after all, their bodies are still very strong most of the time, and the temperature during the day is not too cold for them, they can still bear it, after all, the height of this place is only 4,000 meters, compared to 7,000 meters or 8,000 meters, this place is actually not too harsh.

Since the wedding ceremony, the students of the school have been fascinated by performing musical instruments, and Cangcang has brought their instruments to the vast land to play, as if they are sacrificing to the earth, praising the earth, whenever they feel moved, this kind of scene will appear, and Qian Rujun feels that when the earth appears music, the earth will become particularly vibrant, and particularly beautiful, it seems that the surrounding environment is responding, and even the surrounding sounds have joined the music.

"The earth is so beautiful, every time we go to a new place, we will sigh that it is really a pure beauty in this place, and of course the more beautiful the place, the more difficult it seems to be for human beings.

Is it true that the beauty of nature is destroyed by human activity, so where human activity occurs, we all feel that the beauty is diminished?"
