A week later, Tianshan Tianchi.

Everyone spent a lot of time on the road in the morning, starting from the flat land full of wild flowers at the foot of the mountain, passing through the primeval forest, and then after several thrilling climbs, the five people finally arrived at the first stop of today's trip to the Tianshan Mountains - Tianshan Tianchi.

For the Jasmine sisters, who were born in Europe, the scenery of the snow-capped mountains is not unexperienced, but it is indeed the first time that they have seen such a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of kilometers at such a high altitude and has such a magnificent scenery.

Although born in China, Zhao Yili, Chen Xiangning and Aten have indeed never been to Tianshan.

Knowing that the apprentice would come to the Tianshan Mountains, Yichen handed over a map of the leylines of the Tianshan Mountains that he had drawn by himself back then, in fact, the main peaks of the Tianshan Mountains were all produced snow lotus, but according to the information recorded after Yichen's experience of coming to the Tianshan Mountains in order to obtain the materials of the Cleansing Pill, after years of uncontrolled picking, it was rare to see the snow lotus growing in a place that ordinary people could reach twenty years ago.

In the late 80s, the local government did a certain amount of protection, which to a certain extent limited the unrestrained use of nature's precious resources. However, there is still unrestrained poaching and destructive poaching.

Therefore, there is only one target chosen by Zhao Yili and his people, that is, the main peak of Bogda, which has been made a god by the locals.

Among the main peaks of the Tien Shan, Bogda is not the highest, and its altitude can only rank third, but its fame is far above the peaks.

For a long time, in the minds of the peoples in the west, Bogda is the most sacred mountain, and it has always been worshiped as the house of the gods and the source of purple qi.

The word "Bogda" comes from the Mongolian language, which means "god". In the early days, some nomads in the Western Regions had the custom of worshipping famous mountains, because the Bogda Mountains were tall and steep. Therefore, it is praised as "sacred mountain" and "ancestral peak" by these peoples, and the rider sees the horse, and the walker sees it and kowtows, and even the officials pass by here to stop and worship. There is a folk tale called "Shaal-Hashaman" that describes this.

The story goes that the herdsmen called the Bogda "saints" and regarded the stones on the Bogda as the stones used by the saints, and used the stones here as weapons to fight the enemy invincible. This shows the status of Borg Mountain in the hearts of the peoples of the ancient Western Regions.

As a matter of fact. In the direction of Bogda Mountain, along the way, we are not nothing, people who are more familiar with the landform of the Tianshan Mountains know that in the Tianshan environment, the mountain treasures are extremely rich, in addition to the most famous Tianshan Snow Lotus, there is another kind, which is called the magical mountain treasure of the morel mushroom by the locals. It is said that taking this mountain treasure can even strengthen the body and prolong life.

In the past ten days, Sister Jasmine and Aten have played many places because they are waiting for Zhao Yili's matter to be over, and on the other hand, they are also waiting for the flowering period of Snow Lotus, so they have the opportunity to listen to the local Uyghur elders say that this morel mushroom has a miraculous effect on people's bodies, especially women.

Here's what the local old Uyghur said:

1. Morel mushrooms contain no hormones and no side effects. Being particularly natural, morel mushrooms grow at high altitudes. It will not be polluted in any way. It has a good effect of replenishing qi and moistening the lungs and regulating qi and dissolving diseases, and at the same time, morel mushroom also has the effect of strengthening the stomach and kidneys, and also has a good effect of nourishing the brain and soothing the nerves, and has the function of prolonging life for the elderly.

2. The name of morel mushroom is also called morel, morel dish, delicious morel, and morel mushroom. It is a fungal vegetable, morel mushroom is particularly delicious, and it is a particularly excellent edible mushroom. Morel mushrooms contain 7 essential amino acids. It has a good effect on digestion of the stomach. Morel mushroom can be used in the treatment of food accumulation qi stagnation, abdominal distention, phlegm, qi reversal, asthma and cough and other diseases.

3. Morel mushrooms also contain some polysaccharides that can inhibit tumors and have a good antibacterial effect. It can also be antiviral, so that it can enhance the body's immunity, can also fight fatigue, and can prevent tumors.

Sister Jasmine listened to these rumors. told Chen Xiangning about the benefits of this fungus, which immediately aroused Chen Xiangning's interest enough, so he asked Zhao Yili:

"Are they telling the truth? Is it really such a miracle? ”

Zhao Yili coughed lightly, nodded with a smile and said:

"I did hear the master mention this fungus, which is very rare. It is said that after expert scientific research and testing, it was found that the body of this mushroom is full of several very strange active unsaturated fatty acids, and the greatest effect of the ingredient is to enhance the activity of human tissue cells to delay the aging of cells, and even greatly enhance the body's immunity. ”

"Actually," Zhao Yili looked at the three girls whose eyes were a little blue, feeling a little funny, and added: "Not only the Tianshan Mountains on the border of the territory produce morel mushrooms, but also many provinces in Northeast and North China also produce them in some places, but the overall amount is extremely rare, and in terms of quality, the morel mushrooms under the snowy regions of the Tianshan Mountains may be regarded as the highest quality in the world, because they are located in the wilderness, absolutely green and pollution-free, and because of climate and other reasons, they are full of nutrients. It is also incomparable to the morel mushrooms produced in other regions. ”

Hearing Zhao Yili say this, it caused a Chen Xiangning's backpack, in addition to the necessary survival equipment, was basically filled with morel mushrooms, and even Zhao Yili's bag was forced to load a lot by Chen Xiangning, if it weren't for the need to have the necessary safety equipment, looking at this posture, it was really possible for several girls to hollow out the package and backpack to load this. This is also caused by Lily's words.

The mountains on the road are dangerous, even if everyone has gathered a lot of tacit understanding in the past expeditions, they still encountered several dangers, and even once Mo Mo had already fallen into a bottomless ice crevice with most of her body, and was dragged up by Aten and Zhao Yili together, but fortunately, there was no danger.

The first time I rested, I was near Tianchi in the Tianshan Mountains.

Because they were in a hurry, everyone only roughly appreciated the beautiful scenery of Xiatianchi, and after a short rest, they continued to advance to the main peak of Bogda in the southeast.

The majestic Bogda main peak reaches an altitude of 5,445 meters above sea level. There are two more peaks connected to the left and right of the main peak.

Looking up into the distance, the three peaks rise together, abruptly inserting clouds, like a pen stand.

Seven hours had passed since the morning, and everyone had only just climbed to an altitude of more than 2,200 meters. This is also a helpless thing, although everyone is relatively athletic, but from a professional point of view, after all, they are only amateur climbers, and they want to be safe while also wanting to be fast. Nor realistic.

As far as the preparation for climbing Bogda Peak a few days ago is concerned, Aten first took everyone to do physical training for nearly a week, and had to run 5,000 meters every day, because although Bogda Peak is not the highest peak of the Tianshan Mountains, if there is no abundant physical strength, it is difficult to play even if there is technology. Then I found a relatively low and safe snowy mountain peak to do ice and snow skills training, including ice slope walking and ice wall climbing. Snow slopes and ice slope cross-cutting, climbing in ice-rock mixed areas, etc.

Thinking of these, Aten also seemed to show a smile that was not noticed by everyone, perhaps after staying in a peaceful environment for a long time, Aton's expression now has changed too much compared to before he met Zhao Yili.

Looking at the resolute character of the three girls who kept gritting their teeth to complete the training, it seemed that in them, I vaguely saw the figure of the little sister. Homesick again, Aden is enjoying his current life. It's quiet, there's no intrigue, and there's no need to be on 24-hour alert every day for assassinations or raids or other battles that can happen at any time.

For Aton, there is no special significance for him to come to Tianshan, just to protect the safety of Zhao Yili and everyone, so it is in a basically safe atmosphere. The mood is not too nervous, and among the five people, it can be said that he is the one who suffers the least from gains and losses.

The scenery of the Tian Shan Mountains is very beautiful, and the most pleasing thing is the Dengbogda Mountain. You can see the four seasons in one day. Now it is July, the valley floor is in the middle of summer, and the mountain flowers are blooming everywhere, and the fragrance of the mountain flowers is full of a valley, but at this time you can still feel the heat; When you reach the middle of the mountain, the hot feeling gradually disappears, and it seems to return to spring, the climate is warm and humid, and halfway up the mountainside, in addition to the difference in terrain, it is almost as if you have come to the prairie, turquoise is the main color, and the wildflowers in the east and west become just the right embellishment; Leaving the halfway up the mountainside and going up, you will gradually feel the coolness, and the grass is not as green as before, but begins to become yellow, giving people a feeling of autumn; From here, looking upwards, vertically, there are still about 900 meters close to the snow line, and here you can already feel the cold above, and when you look up, it is silvery white, and the snow can barely squint.

Although it is close to the snow line soon, but the remaining 900 meters are by no means easy, so Zhao Yili asked Aden to find a leeward col, everyone hid in it to rest for a while, eat something to recover their strength, in such an environment, it is difficult to find such a good leeward place again, so this time the rest is very important, Aten and Zhao Yili took out the kerosene stove, the three girls got some clean snow, Aten took out some utensils from the backpack, melted the snow water, and cleaned the materials, He began to stew the morel mushrooms, Codonopsis, some wild vegetables and barley flour picked along the way.

This pot of porridge does not need any special condiments at all, because the morel mushroom itself is extremely delicious, even salt is not needed, the natural salt content of the two plants in it is relatively high, just because of the plateau, the boiling point of the water here is very low, it is easy to boil, but it still needs to be stewed for a while, until forty minutes after the water boils, the things in the stove reach the level of being edible.

After lunch, everyone gradually recovered their strength, and then stepped up their climbing, before dark, they had to rush to camp near the snow line, otherwise it would be extremely dangerous to climb or descend the mountain at night.

After another hour or so, the snow line was finally close at hand, but the difficulty of more than 900 meters really let everyone see the power of nature.

You can hear the cold wind whistling everywhere, and you can encounter falling rocks and snowballs everywhere, because it is a small miracle to climb here at this speed to ensure a safe foothold and to avoid these things from time to time.

Just when everyone thought that they would arrive at their destination and breathe a sigh of relief, they didn't expect that the paralysis and carelessness would be the beginning of the official disaster, Zhao Yili beat the wolf at the end of the team, Aten opened up the wasteland at the front, and Chen Xiangning, who was in the penultimate place, was not careful, and when he was dodging the snowball, he was too late to dodge the snowball, and was hit by the hard snowball on the snow line.

(To be continued.) )

PS: Just when everyone thought that they would arrive at their destination and breathe a sigh of relief, they didn't expect that the paralysis was the beginning of the official disaster, Zhao Yili fought wolves at the end of the team, Aten opened up the wasteland at the front, and Chen Xiangning, who was in the penultimate position, was not careful, and when he was dodging the snowball, he was hit by the hard snowball on the snow line, and he couldn't hold the safety rope when he landed on his hand, and immediately fell rapidly, and what everyone just passed was a wide ice crack, this one mutation, Everyone's surprise!
