Chapter 176: The True Heavenly Mountain
The next morning, the two set off early and walked through Sailim Lake at about 10 a.m., which took four hours. After crossing Lake Serim, you will reach the last section of the terrain.
Looking up, there are endless mountain ranges.
From two hours ago, the shadow of the mountain range had already appeared on the right side of Tang Jue, and an hour ago, the shadow of the mountain range had also appeared on the left side. Until now, there are mountains on the left and right, and in front of you, so it can be said that the car has reached a dead end.
The terrain here is more than 2,300 meters, and these mountains are probably more than 4,000 meters high, and they are truly mountains as far as the eye can see.
Tang Jue has lived in the mountains and forests for 20 years, and he knows the mountains well. He had a strong premonition that the mountain range in front of him was probably several times more than the latter compared to the largest Qianliba Mountain in China!
It turns out that Tang Jue was right, this mountain range is so huge that it covers eight countries and even medium. Most of the territory of the Eastern Kingdom is occupied by this mountain range. The mountain range in front of Tang Jue is the northernmost part of the entire mountain range, and if you really count all the mountains that are connected together, then this mountain range is directly connected to the Himalayas.
Simply put, the entire map of China is west and middle. The eastern part of the country is covered by these mountains.
"What kind of mountain is this?" Tang Jue couldn't help but ask.
"Tianshan." Concubine Xia said softly.
"Tianshan?" Tang couldn't help but be stunned, couldn't help but think of something, and asked, "Could it be that the Tianshan Snow Lotus is here?" ”
Concubine Xia smiled lightly when she heard this, and said, "Indeed, the Tianshan Snow Lotus is only available in the Tianshan Mountains. ”
"I haven't seen the Tianshan Snow Lotus in my life, so I must pick one and take a look." Tang Jue said seriously.
"I'm afraid it won't work." Concubine Xia smiled lightly and said, "Because it's illegal." ”
"Breaking the law?" Tang Jue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Concubine Xia suspiciously.
"A long time ago, Tianshan snow lotus could be seen everywhere in the Tianshan Mountains, and it could be picked at an altitude of two thousand meters. But with the progress of the times, it is easy for people to go up the mountain, and if they pick too much, they are on the verge of extinction. Now if you want to pick a Tianshan snow lotus, you must be at least 4,000 meters or more, and the state will list it as a protected variety and will not allow it to be picked. Concubine Xia said softly.
Tang Jueyan nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then I'll just look at it, not pick it." ”
Concubine Xia smiled again and said, "Let's go." ”
With that, Concubine Xia pushed the car door and got out of the car.
Tang couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly got out of the car and asked, "Aren't we driving anymore?" ”
Concubine Xia walked in front and said without looking back, "No one will come to this Tianshan except for my Divine Sect, where will there be a road for you to drive." ”
"So how do we get there?" Tang Jue was even more stunned and asked.
"Let's get there!" Concubine Xia's voice floated like a wind chime.

It turns out that the Tien Shan is very difficult to climb.
When he reached the top of the first mountain, Don looked away in despair, so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He had never seen so many mountains, more than the ocean. And all the mountains inside are white, except for the mountain at the foot which is half green.
The summits of the mountains are high into the clouds, and at least half of each mountain is above the clouds.
"Where's your Cult?" Tang Jue couldn't help but ask.
"Far away." Concubine Xia said softly, "About a thousand miles." ”
“……”
Tang Jue suddenly felt a little pain in his head, but looking at Concubine Xia's calm eyes, he gradually calmed down.
"Let's go." Tang Jue said.
Just as Tang Jue was about to leave, Concubine Xia beside him suddenly said, "Actually, there is a shortcut." ”
Tang Jue was stunned for a moment, stopped and asked, "What shortcut?" ”
"There's a helicopter to pick us up." Concubine Xia turned her head to look at Tang Jue and said softly, "You can pick us up when you are in Karamay, but I didn't let them come." ”
“……”
Tang Jue looked at Concubine Xia with a shocked expression, daring to love that the five days and four nights of rushing were completely unnecessary?
"The last part of the road is difficult, the Tianshan Mountains are more difficult to walk than any mountain range in the world, even we will not feel much better." Concubine Xia said softly, and a cold air had already appeared when she spoke, "I wanted to finish with you, but I didn't want to lie to you." ”
Tang Jue smiled bitterly, I really want to say that you have lied to me, okay.
Seeing Tang Jue's helpless look, Concubine Xia lowered her head and took out her mobile phone from her pocket and said, "I'll call them now to pick us up." ”
Just as Concubine Xia took out her mobile phone to dial out, Tang Jue suddenly asked, "How long are we going to go?" ”
Concubine Xia was stunned, turned her head to look at Tang Jue, and said, "The distance in a straight line is a thousand miles, but because they are all mountains, the actual distance is at least two thousand five hundred miles." Even if we try our best to get there, it will take three days. ”
"Three days." Tang Jue looked at the mountain peaks in the distance and said softly, "It doesn't seem to be too far. ”
Concubine Xia was overjoyed, looked at Tang Jue and asked, "Are you willing to walk over with me?" ”
Tang Jue turned his head to look at Concubine Xia, smiled, and said, "Let's go." ”

It is not for nothing that the Tien Shan Mountains are more difficult to climb than all other mountain ranges.
From the position where Tang Jue and Concubine Xia entered, there were no edible plants inside the Tianshan Mountains, or most of the mountains were pure snow-capped mountains, and only at the foot of the mountains were there some mountain forests occasionally. As for water resources, there are no more than seven rivers in the entire Tien Shan. Seven rivers are pitifully few in the Tien Shan Mountains, which are comparable to a province.
Not only that, the cold climate after entering the Tianshan Mountains is more than ten degrees lower than outside, and the temperature is the most terrible enemy that consumes human energy. In addition, there is no road at all, and every step is a thick snowdrift, and you can only know how valuable the so-called "rugged mountain road" is when you climb the mountain here.
Fortunately, Concubine Xia had already prepared her clothes and food, the two of them were wearing mountaineering clothes, and Tang Jue was carrying food behind her back and hurried towards the interior.
Although the Tianshan Mountains are difficult to walk, the two peerless masters Tang Jue and Concubine Xia are still very different from ordinary people. The two of them left shallow footprints of less than a centimeter in the snow half a meter deep, and walked through the snow at a rapid pace, speeding over one mountain peak after another. On average, there is only one break every three hours.
The time when the two of them were in a hurry was not different from what Concubine Xia expected. On the first night, the two arrived at a river. Obviously, if you want to find a river in the Tianshan Mountains, only Concubine Xia can do it.
The icy water is flowing, and there are still many fish in the water, and they are not small.
Under the leadership of Concubine Xia, the two came to a cave. Although this cave is made by nature, it has also been clearly altered. The cave was deep, and the depths were clean, and it was much warmer than the wind that was blowing outside.
"You wait for me here, I'll go out for a while." Tang Jue said.
"Okay." Concubine Xia responded.
Tang Jue turned around and left the cave, and came back after about ten minutes.
I saw Tang Jue holding a large handful of tree trunks in one hand and two fish in the other. He was used to living in the mountains, and fishing in the river and grilling fish over a fire was a daily routine.
After Tang Jue quickly processed the two big fish, he put them on the two branches, then ignited the remaining branches, and put them on them to roast.
The fire was blazing, and soon the whole cave was warm. Perhaps because of the heat, Concubine Xia's face gradually turned red.
Tang Jue was very experienced, and he had always mastered the distance between the fish and the fire, and after ten minutes, the fragrance of the fish gradually spread. After a few more minutes, the rich fragrance filled the entire cave.
"Alright." Tang Jue breathed a sigh of relief and was done, "You can eat it." ”
As he spoke, Tang Jue handed one to Concubine Xia and said, "Be careful of scalding, tear it off one by one with your hands and eat it." ”
Concubine Xia took it gently, obediently blew it seriously, and then stretched out her hand to tear off a piece.
A slice of fish is placed in the mouth, and the fragrance of no impurities fills all the taste buds, and the smell of fire is still there, and it is like a human delicacy in this environment.
Suddenly, Concubine Xia felt that she didn't need any food she had prepared.
"How?" Tang Jue also ate a slice and asked.
"It's delicious." Concubine Xia squinted and said with a smile.
Tang Jue laughed and said, "It should be because it's cold here, the fish here tastes so delicious, I've never eaten such a good fish." ”
Concubine Xia lowered her head and ate the fish one by one by the hot fire, very quiet and quiet, so quiet that Tang Jue couldn't help but look at her all the time.
I don't know why, Tang Jue always felt that Concubine Xia had something on her mind.
After a few minutes, Tang Jue thought about it and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?" ”
Concubine Xia was stunned, looked up at Tang Jue, smiled and said, "Everyone has something on their minds. ”
This smile was very beautiful, but it was even more atmospheric, Tang Jue couldn't help but ask in his eyes, "Can I help you?" ”
"Not yet." Concubine Xia said with a smile.
Tang Jue was silent, and he didn't know what to say.
At this time, half of the fish in her hand had been eaten unconsciously, and Concubine Xia seemed to be a little reluctant, and said, "You can catch fish for me these days." ”
Tang Jue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay." ”

Three days later.
Tang Jue and Concubine Xia stood on top of the mountain peak, letting the wind blow their hair, but they were unmoved.
"Beauty." Tang Jue opened his mouth, exhaled a burst of white mist, and couldn't help but say, "It's really beautiful." ”
Concubine Xia smiled lightly and said softly, "The world says that there are four peaks in the Tianshan Mountains, but those four peaks are far from every peak in the depths of the Tianshan Mountains. People find it beautiful because they can only get there. And how do they know that the place they can't reach is the most beautiful? ”
Tang Jue looked at the scenery in front of him and couldn't help but nod, and even wanted to praise everything in front of him in all words.
You know, every mountain peak in the depths is towering into the clouds, but at most it is only a few hundred meters into the clouds. The clouds can reach hundreds of meters, so the protruding part of the clouds is very small, and it can only be regarded as a head.
At this time, the two of them were standing on the top of the mountain, which was also the part above the clouds. But in this world, which has gone beyond the clouds, a big mountain appeared in front of the two of them like this!
Before he arrived here, Tang Jue saw that there was a mountain in the distance that was too majestic, and from a distance, it looked like a huge land was reaching straight into the sky, and the slope of the mountain could not be seen at all. Standing at the top of the mountain at this time, he completely saw the true face of this mountain.
The mountains are far above the clouds and soar into the sky, as if they were holding the heavens. Compared to this mountain, the surrounding mountains are as small as dirt bags.
Tang Jue took a deep breath and was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.
"Let's go." Concubine Xia said softly, "The Heavenly Temple Divine Sect is on the top of this mountain. ”
