Gongga Snow Mountain is located in the south of Kangding, Sichuan Province, and is connected with continuous mountains between it and Balang Mountain.

Gongga Mountain is the main peak of Daxue Mountain, with an altitude of 7,556 meters. It is 6,000 meters higher than the Dadu River on its east side, and is known as the "King of Shu Mountain".

With Gongga Mountain as the center, there are 145 ice peaks with an altitude of five or six thousand meters around it, forming a majestic scene of clusters of peaks and snow-capped mountains.

There are about 45 glaciers in the snow-capped mountainous area, covering an area of 290 square kilometers, mainly valley glaciers, hanging glaciers and cirque glaciers are also distributed, there are 5 glaciers with a length of more than 10 kilometers, and the longest one is called Hailuogou Glacier. In addition, the height and width of the large ice waterfall are more than 1,000 meters, which is particularly spectacular.

Due to the influence of climate, the glacier activity of Gongga Mountain is intense, ice collapse avalanches are extremely frequent, and the more you go to the top, the narrow ridge is like a sloping blade, the slope wall is steep, the rock is bare, the slope is more than 70 degrees, and its height difference is very large, there is an altitude difference of more than 6,000 meters in a radius of 20 kilometers. As a result, Gongga Mountain is also one of the most difficult snowy peaks in the world to climb.

And below the snow line, the valleys and slopes are covered with dense primeval forests. There are many kinds of plants in the forest, and there are dozens of rare plants. At the same time, it is also a paradise for wild animals, where more than 400 alpine animals and forest animals live.

Before Bai Yang and the others entered the mountainous area, they had repeatedly inquired about the Snow God Valley, but everyone had heard of the Snow God Valley, and they all believed that the Snow God Valley must be around the main peak of Gongga, but no one could tell the exact location of the Snow God Valley.

Therefore, Bai Yang and the others could only go over the mountains and mountains into the snowy mountains as they did when they were looking for Wang Jiutang's tomb before, and then step on the ice and snow to the vicinity of the main peak of Gongga.

This time, though, they hired a guide.

Although this guide didn't know where the Snow God Palace was, he was specifically a guide for those climbers who came to challenge the main peak of Gonggar, so he was very familiar with the terrain around the main peak of Gonggar. And I also know the temperament of the snow mountain and ice peak.

Not to mention that the snow mountain ice peak has no temperament, people who know the snow mountain know that the snow mountain is quiet and beautiful most of the time, but once it launches anger, the rolling avalanche ice avalanche can destroy almost everything.

The guide's surname is Yuan, although he has not practiced martial arts, he is strong and strong, and second, he is used to walking the Xuefeng Mountain Road. The group followed him, except for the poplar iron bull, which was quite relaxed, and everyone else felt a little difficult.

Fortunately, the three girls who accompanied him were all beautiful women, and Guide Yuan was very good at taking pity on the jade, and every time he saw the three girls showing tiredness, he would take the initiative to ask to stop and rest.

These three girls are naturally Ding Lingling, Hong Xing, and Chu Mingyu.

And Jack is still with him. plus Chen Xiaopang, there are a total of seven people.

Bai Yang followed closely by Guide Yuan, chatting with him as he walked.

Guide Yuan was very strange and asked Bai Yang: "Why do you want to find the Snow God Valley?

He laughed as he spoke.

Poplar laughed with him and asked him, "Do you think the snow goddess really exists?"

"No one can say whether it exists or not, but we mountain people believe that she is real!" Yuan Guide said, looking back and forth, and lowered his voice more and more, "Although none of us in the mountains have seen the Snow Goddess with their own eyes, many people have seen the Snow Goddess's guardian god!"

Bai Yang didn't expect him to say such a message, and hurriedly asked, "Guardian God, what Guardian God?"

"It's the god who guards the goddess of snow......! Some people say that the guardian god of the goddess of snow resembles an ancient samurai, wearing armor and being tall. Some people also say that the guardian god is snow-white and is more than three meters tall! Anyway, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I'm not sure which statement is correct!"

When Bai Yang heard him say that he was "more than three meters tall", he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, remembering the extra-large footprints found near the tomb of Wang Jiutang, and he had thought at that time that the person who left the footprints should be at least three meters tall based on the proportion of the footprints.

Could it be that there really are giants over three meters in this world?

But why, the footprints of this giant were found near the tomb of Wang Jiutang, and in this Gongga Snow Mountain, some people claimed to have seen giants more than three meters away?

There are many high mountains and dangerous peaks between Gongga Mountain and Balang Mountain, it can't be the "guardian god" of Gongga Snow Mountain, running over the mountains and mountains to the tomb of Wang Jiutang, to put the boulder at the entrance of the tomb back to its original position, right?

The more Bai Yang thought about it, the more unlikely he felt, so he could only ask Guide Yuan to describe the physical appearance of the "Guardian God" in detail.

Guide Yuan said: "I didn't see it with my own eyes, how can I say it so clearly? Even those who saw it with their own eyes didn't dare to describe it too clearly, after all, ...... This is God, and there will be retribution in private!"

Bai Yang knew that the worship of gods and Buddhas by the people in the mountains was much more pious than that of the people in the city, so he could only turn around and ask Guide Yuan if there were any other legends about the goddess of snow.

Guide Yuan said: "Of course there are! There are many legends about the Snow Goddess, for example, she is as beautiful as a fairy, and some people say that she was once the empress of the Southern Zhao Kingdom! And her palace in the Snow God Valley is also said to have been built by the Emperor of Nanzhao who spent manpower and financial resources to help her!

Baiyang felt unexpected again, he really didn't expect that this snow goddess would actually involve Nanzhao Kingdom.

Although he has not been in the archaeological industry for a long time, he still has some understanding of Nanzhaoguo.

It was during the Tang Dynasty that six small states emerged in Yunnan, among which the Nanzhao Kingdom was the most powerful.

By the Kaiyuan period, the Southern Zhao State unified the six edicts. After the Tang Anshi Rebellion, Nanzhao defeated Tubo and took the opportunity to wage war against Tang, occupying large areas of land such as Guizhou and Sichuan, and at the same time marching towards the Indochina Peninsula and occupying most of Southeast Asia and becoming a southern hegemon.

However, there are very few records about the Nanzhao Kingdom. It is only known that this mysterious country that rose on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau only survived for 164 years in history before it went into decline and quickly perished.

As for saying that among the emperors of the Nanzhao Kingdom, there was actually one who married the "Snow Goddess" as the queen, since there is no historical record, then what Yuan Dao said dare not say that it really happened.

Later, Guide Yuan provided Poplar with some other legends of the Snow Goddess, but at least to Poplar's ears, they were all mysterious and not very credible.

When they climbed to the top of a mountain relatively close to the main peak of Gonggar, the beautiful scenery in front of them made everyone take their breath away.

It was a sunny day, and the blue sky was overhead, but the clouds were reaching underfoot.

In the distance, there is a vast sea of clouds, and the snow peaks stand between the clouds and mist, which is just like the fairy mountain spirit island, the divine palace Tianque.

Among them, the tallest and most majestic is naturally the main peak of Gongga. At this moment, it is not far from the main peak of Gonggar, and you can see the white snow, covering the steep mountain tops, and the magnificent sunlight is projecting on the snow, faintly exuding a beautiful halo.

And just below this mountain, there is a transparent and smooth ice lake. At the end of the glacial lake, attached to the opposite side of the Gongga Mountainside, is actually a crystal clear, but magnificent glacier.

Several people, including Poplar, all saw the glacier for the first time, and several people were excited, and without waiting for the guide to guide them, they each carried their luggage and rushed down the mountain to the glacier lake.

Not wanting to slip under his feet, Chu Mingyu, who was in the lead, fell first.

Jack hurriedly reached out and pulled it, only to slip and fall.

Fortunately, the slopes on the side of the ice lake were all covered with ice and snow, and Chu Mingyu and Jack did not fall and were injured, but directly slid down the ice surface into the ice lake. Then follow the smooth surface of the glacial lake and rush forward and go far away.

It made Chu Mingyu and Jack laugh. Hongxing was also interested, stretched out his hand to pull the iron bull, and the two of them also slid down the smooth slope.

The surface of the glacial lake is as smooth as a mirror, and if you are not careful, you will slip and fall.

But a few people didn't care, anyway, they wore gloves on their hands and wore thick clothes, and they didn't feel very painful when they fell, but they stimulated the fun of young people, and they chased me on the ice.

After crossing the ice lake and arriving at the foot of the glacier, the group was even more shocked by the beautiful scenery in front of them and couldn't breathe for a long time.

It's really indescribably beautiful!

At a glance, there are countless strange shapes and strange things.

There are icicles, ice swords. There are ice tables, ice chairs. Some even form ice caves, ice castles. When the sun shines, it is transparent and bright, but between the ice cave and the ice city, it reflects a wisp of colorful light.

Everyone didn't speak, completely immersed in the beauty of this fairyland.

It wasn't until a strange and loud roar suddenly pierced everyone's eardrums that everyone was suddenly shocked, and they had to come back to their senses and look at the source of the sound with a shocked face.
