Lucheng is located on the eastern edge of the Pinglu Oasis, which is rumored to have been a vast Gobi Desert thousands of years ago, full of rough gravel and not directly connected to the Pinglu Oasis. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

One day he saw the hardships of the criminals who were released by the mainstream of the ancient Qiang country at the foot of the mountain, and kicked away the steep cliff of the south gate like a sword and a halberd with a hoof, so that a stream in the deep mountains flowed out from the deep mountains and old forests in the south of Lucheng.

This is the formation of the legendary Lu River, and the Lu River did not flow into the Pinglu Sea in the west, from the steep northern slope of the Wusheling Mountains, zigzag north for more than 100 miles, because of a large amount of water seepage and loss of the river and cut off.

Although the Deer River does not flow into the Pinglu Sea, it is so close that the newly cultivated oases on both sides of the Deer River are soon connected with the Pinglu Oasis to the west.

In order to commemorate this sacred deer, the descendants built a city on the bank of the Luhe River and named it Lucheng.

Lucheng, as the first city to enter the Pinglu Oasis from the West Gorge Corridor, was completely destroyed in the war 20 years ago, but in the past 20 years, it has been quickly reborn due to the increasing prosperity of business tourism.

Chen Hai led his horse out of a sand ridge, and from a distance, he saw that Lucheng, which was built of black sandstone, looked like a black giant beast, lying horizontally in front of the gentle slope on the west bank of the Luhe River.

The steep slope of the north mountain of Wusheling is more than 1,000 zhang high, like a huge blue-black barrier, lying more than 100 miles south of Lucheng......

Wusheling Ridge stretches for 16,700 miles from east to west, connects Tieliuling in the east, and connects Dajin Mountain in the west. The northern slope of Wusheling is particularly steep, and there are peaks of tens of thousands of meters high as far as the eye can see, and the cliffs are high and the rocks are dangerous, and it is difficult for birds to cross.

Even if the Luhe River exits the stone gorge mouth of the Wuqiao Ridge, it is two or three thousand meters high, and from a distance, the river water gushing out is like several silver chains two or three thousand meters long, pouring between the stone cliffs on the north slope.

Chen Hai did not rush into Lucheng, and after crossing the sand ridge, he rode along the Luhe River to the northern slope of Wuqiaoling.

There are often business travelers who will run to the front of Lukai Gorge to see the spectacular scene of the waterfall pouring thousands of feet, Chen Hai is just an ordinary young man riding a thin horse in front of the guards of Lucheng.

After Zhang Xiong punished Ye Chentian and his son, after the royal capital proclaimed himself the lord of the country, although the Zhang clan did not send troops to block the road east of Lucheng, the situation was so tense that the Shangzhou of Pinglu would not rush to Hexi at the risk of losing both people and money;

However, Lucheng, which claimed neutrality in this turmoil, still gathered a large number of merchants, waiting for the situation to calm down as soon as possible, so that they could embark on the journey again before the onset of winter, so that the goods accumulated this year could be sent to Hexi and sold to various warehouses.

So it's not surprising that there are occasionally one or two lone young people haunting the vicinity of Lucheng.

Chen Hai rode a horse to the foot of the Lukai Gorge, and at this time saw the Luhe River pouring down from the Qianzhang High Gorge, forming an open giant pool of thousands of acres at the foot of the mountain, and he could feel the magnificence of this hanging river even more.

It is a pity that the giant pond is surrounded by shallow and low stone ridges, the trees are sparse, and the water of the pond overflows from the mouth of the gorge in the north, so as to form the main channel of the Lu River, but it is a pity that the two sides of the Lu River are bottomless sand layers, and the river channel with abundant water flow only extends for more than 100 miles and disappears into the depths of the desert.

Of course, it is precisely because the terrain of Luhe and Pinglu Lake is slightly high, and there is a large amount of river and lake water seeping into the ground, that the slightly lower terrain of Montenegro will generate a large number of springs through the dark river.

It is a pity that it is not a simple matter to accurately survey the underground dark river veins, otherwise it is possible to artificially cultivate an oasis corridor between Montenegro and the Pinglu Oasis by digging deep wells, instead of letting Montenegro hang alone outside the Pinglu Oasis.

The landscape of the hanging waterfall at the source of the Luhe River is so magnificent, before Chen Hai, there are several people who go out of the city to watch the scenery here, and even some people try to climb the cliff and want to go to the mouth of the stone gorge to watch the wonders.

Coming out of Lukai Gorge, it is roughly divided into three sections of stone cliffs, each section is seven or eight hundred meters high, the waterfall splashes, and the stone cliffs are wet and slippery. Although there is a foundation in the middle and late stages of the Xuan Realm, you can try to climb such a high stone cliff, but the terrain at this time is intricate, and from time to time there are gusts of extremely strong whirlwinds.

If he was unfortunately swept by the whirlwind of water, the martial cultivators of the Spirit Clearing Realm were also very likely to fall to pieces.

Therefore, the vast majority of people run to the bottom of the cliff, and they are satisfied after seeing the waterfall and the stone pool; only if they do not cultivate much to be above the spiritual realm, they will rise in front of the waterfall and fly to the mouth of the gorge to watch the wonders of the deer opening the gorge.

At this time, there were three young men, who were clinging to the mossy stone wall next to the waterfall, carefully avoiding the water column swept by the whirlwind, and climbing towards the mouth of the gorge with their hands and feet, to see what their cultivation would look like in the middle and late stages of the Xuan Realm.

"These boys are really new calves and are not afraid of tigers, and they don't know how to stop without breaking their arms and legs. Seeing this scene, a few travelers at the bottom of the cliff couldn't help but shake their heads and said.

Chen Hai smiled slightly, thinking that if it was him, even if he only cultivated in the Xuan Realm, he couldn't help but climb up to see the magnificence when he saw such a spectacle.

Chen Hai led the black and thin old horse that he had finally picked out from Montenegro to a poplar tree by the lake, moved the clumsy looking bag behind his back, and also climbed step by step towards the 3,000-meter-high Lukai Gorge with the help of the stone hole stepped on by his predecessors.

This scene caused many visitors to watch the scenery under the waterfall to shake their heads, as if they believed that Chen Hai was a hairy boy who was beyond his strength, and he would not easily challenge the natural danger of this gorge if he had to endure hardships.

Chen Hai didn't want to expose his cultivation, even if he didn't use the slightest True Yuan mana, it would be easy to climb the cliff of these two or three thousand meters, and after following the three young people, step by step, he would soon climb up to Lukai Gorge, but in the eyes of others, there were still a few more thrilling times, but he was lucky enough to avoid the past without danger.

Exactly as Chen Hai thought, on the other side of Lukai Gorge, there is a hanging lake with a radius of four or five thousand acres.

The weather of Pinglu Oasis is colder than that of the interior of Yanzhou, the grass and trees wither yellow after autumn, and the terrain of Lukai Gorge is more than 3,000 meters higher than the flat land, the weather is even colder, the distant mountains are covered with ice and snow that do not melt for many years, the snow line has begun to move slowly to the top of the mountain to half a waist, almost more than a month, this side of Lukai Gorge will also be covered by ice and snow.

It's a different story here.

Chen Hai climbed Lukai Gorge alone, but he didn't come to enjoy the scenery.

The formation conditions of placer lake mud are very special, first of all, there are a large number of light metal veins in the upstream.

After many years of weathering, the shallow rock layer of the vein is crushed into gravel, which is transported by streams and rivers, and then intercepted and enriched by special terrain to form a lake mud rich in a large number of metal placers.

In Jinyan Prefecture, shallow metal veins are very rare, this kind of special river topography located in the downstream of shallow metal veins, favorable interception, and rich placer ore is rare, and even more rare is that such special river channels need to be stable for thousands or even tens of thousands of years without frequent changes, and even more rare.

Regardless of whether this stone gorge is like a giant deer demon with a hoof as legend, it can be inferred from the many existing legends that this hanging lake has a stable history of more than 6,000 years.

In the past 6,000 years, the hanging lake has not been filled with a large amount of upstream alluvium, which can only show that this side of the hanging lake was an extremely deep rift valley six or seven thousand years ago.

It's just that this Tianhang Lake is like Juquanling, where there are many weathered shallow metal veins on both sides of the upstream river, and Chen Hai has no way to organize people to survey them one by one for the time being, but as long as he dives to the bottom of this lake, it can still be easily verified.

The shallow bottom of the lake silt is not visible, and the density of quenched gold placers is extremely high, even if there is an accumulation at the bottom of the hanging lake, it is possible to find it by digging down from the bottom of the lake to a depth of two or three hundred meters.

Chen Hai came alone to verify this.

Ye was anxious to restore the country and did not want time to drag on any longer.

Ye Qinglin was worried that once Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other traitors were allowed to completely control all the cities in the Pinglu Great Oasis, even if they had the support of the Hexi Dong clan at that time, it would be even more difficult for them to restore the country; he hoped that the Elite Protectorate would be able to jointly send troops as soon as possible, even if they occupied one or two cities on the edge of the Pinglu Great Oasis and formed a stalemate with the rebels, they could also prevent all the clans of the Xiqiang Kingdom from throwing Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other dog thieves.

Ye Qinglin thought about it for reason, Chen Hai promised that the Elite Army could send troops to occupy a city on the edge of the Pinglu Great Oasis to contain the rebels, but as a condition, he demanded that the city he occupied should be placed under the jurisdiction of the Elite Capital Protectorate in the future.

Montenegro is too barren, without the strong support of Hexi, it is not able to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Chen Hai hopes to occupy one more city on the edge of the Pinglu Oasis is not too much, and the Pinglu Oasis has a total of more than 40 cities, in order to restore the country as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night, Ye Qinglin also agreed.

However, whether the first city captured by the elite army was Lucheng or not, Chen Hai needed to come and take a look at this Tianhang Lake in person to confirm.

They can divide a city on the edge of the Pinglu Great Oasis, which is already the limit of what Ye Qinglin and the Ye clan can accept, and this city cannot be chosen.

Chen Hai untied the bag that did not contain a few valuable clothes and the old gray burqa he was wearing outside, stuffed it into a cliff, and put on a short coat close to his body, ready to dive into the bottom of the lake to find out.

"This brother, although everyone has the urge to swim in the Hanging Lake on this day, but this day the Hanging Lake is connected with the stream in the depths of the Wusheling Mountains, who doesn't know if there are strong water beasts hibernating, please think twice before you go!" Seeing Chen Hai jumping into the lake, the three young men who climbed the Lukai Gorge before him, one of them had a man with a beard on his face and shouted over, kindly reminding Chen Hai not to dive into the lake easily.

Chen Hai smiled in his heart, turned his ears sideways and pretended to be stupid for a long time, pretending that the wind and water were loud and he couldn't really hear what the man on the other side was saying.

On this day, even in the dead of night, there will be tourists running over to enjoy the scenery, and these three young people are unpacking their bags at this time, taking out wine and meat and putting it on the ground, who knows how long they will play by the lake, Chen Hai does not have so much spare time, wait to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, and then dive into the bottom of the lake to find out.
