Hearing Zhang Meng's words, Laizi nodded.

"It turned out to be there!" Zhang Meng sighed.

Qiaogori Peak, located in northern Tibet, southern Xinjiang, Pakistan, Kashmir junction, in Tajik language means "tall and majestic peak", 8611 meters above sea level, it is the main peak in the west of the Karakoram Mountains, is the peak on the earth second only to Mount Everest, is also the second main peak of the Karakoram Mountains that has been investigated, called K2 peak abroad, and is also one of the more difficult peaks recognized by the international mountaineering community.

There are 6 ridges on the Chogori Peak, and the northwest-to-southeast ridge is the main ridgeline of the Karakun Mountains. At the same time, it is also the border between China and Pakistan.

There are also North Ridge, West Ridge, and Northwest Ridge. The peak is pyramid-shaped, the ice cliff is standing, and the mountain is steep. The steep slope is covered with avalanche chute marks. At the top of the peak is a large ice slope that rises slightly from north to south. The north side is like a knife and axe, with an average slope of more than 45 degrees. From the north base camp to the summit, the vertical height difference is 4,700 meters, which is the largest vertical height difference in the world for peaks above 8,000 meters. The glacier on the north side is called Chogori Glacier, and the terrain is complex and varied. The surface of the glacier is broken, and light and dark ice crevasses crisscross it. The valley on the west side of the glacier is steep rock wall, with frequent rolling rocks, ice avalanches, and avalanches. On either side of Chogori Peak is the 44-kilometre-long Insugeti Glacier.

If you're not a professional expedition, don't want to climb this peak.

"So how do we get there?" Zhang Meng asked.

"Actually, there are two routes to get there." Lai Zi turned around and spread out the map, pointed to the coordinates on the map and said to everyone: "Go south and take the Qinghai-Tibet line into Tibet, passing through Wudaoliang, Tanggula Pass, Nagqu, Lhasa, Namco, Gaize County, Ritu County, Dahongliutan, and finally reach Qiaogeli Peak; Go north and take the southern Xinjiang Road, Ruoqiang County, then enter Hotan County, and finally go south from Yecheng to Qiaogeli Peak. Whichever of the two routes we choose, we need to turn back to Golmud in the eastern section of Kunlun first. ”

"Golmud?" Zhang Meng frowned, and asked Lai Zi: "We are now in the foothills of the middle section of Kunlun, and it will take a lot of time to return to Golmud, and besides, there is no road here, so we can only walk!" ”

"That's right!" Zhao San also said: "As long as you walk through the middle section of Kunlun, won't you reach the western section?" ”

"But according to the map, there is no national highway leading to the western part of Kunlun." Lai Zi shook his head and said: "The foothills here are vertically and horizontally, the terrain is too complicated, and the traffic cannot be repaired here, from here to West Kunlun, you can only rely on foot, and it is ......."

"And what?" Zhang Meng asked.

Hearing this, Lai Zi looked at Ye Jiu and Zhang Shaotu and said: "And this road is very dangerous, not only needs to cross the Qimantag Mountain, but also needs to pass through the nationally famous Nalengrad River Valley. How many of you must have heard of this place? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shaotu and Ye Jiu's expressions both showed a hint of shock.

"That Rengol Valley?" Zhang Meng frowned, looked at Zhang Shaotu and asked, "Second uncle, what kind of place is that?" ”

"The Naren Gol River Valley is in the middle of the Kunlun Mountains in the south of the Qimantag Mountain, is one of the world's famous five death valleys, known as the 'Devil's Valley', it is rumored that the Kumukuli Desert in the west and the Buluntai in the east, with a total length of 100 kilometers, a width of 30 kilometers, and an altitude of three or four thousand meters. There is the main vein of the towering Kunlun Mountain in the south, and the Qimantag Mountain in the north blocks the dry and hot air in the summer of the Qaidam Basin, the two mountains are sandwiched, the rainfall is sufficient, the climate is humid, the Nalengrad River passes through it, the large and small lakes are dotted around, the pasture is luxuriant, like a green carpet. However, it is this enchanting canyon that is considered a no-go area with devils and is full of horror. There are many mysterious legends about the 'devil' that circulate in the local area......"

"It's funny." Zhao San smiled, he hoped to break into this world-famous valley of death.

"Interesting? There are mostly mountain roads, gravel roads, steep mountains and bends, no roads in the wilderness, rivers and swamps are easy to get stuck in cars, and there are no mobile phone signals, gas stations and car repair shops on the roads, so you can only bring your own fuel. Lai Zi said with a wry smile.

"It's better than walking." Zhao San said.

"But we have to enter the Tibetan antelope reserve and cross Hoh Xili, maybe we will meet poachers, even if we don't meet poachers, what if there is a misunderstanding with the mountain patrol team?" Lai Zi said embarrassedly.

"But judging from the map, we only need to go through Guò Devil's Valley and Hoh Xili, we can reach West Kunlun, and we may find some clues along the way, if we turn back to Golmud and detour to Qiaogori Peak, I am afraid we will also lose a lot of useful clues." Zhang Meng continued: "Without specific clues, I'm afraid we will return in vain when we climb Qiaogori Peak." ”

Lai Zi said: "I'm just telling the truth, the specific route still needs to be decided by you." ”

"Although this road is almost deserted, and there will be many uncontrollable risks on the road, as Ah Meng said, not only will it take us a lot of time to return to Golmud, but I am afraid that there will be a lot of clues on the two national highways, and I agree with Ah Meng's idea." Zhang Shaotu agreed.

"Although there is no national highway on the border between Xinjiang and Tibet, after all, there are Tibetans and Kazakhs living there, and there is a road for people to live, as long as you find a suitable guide, it should not be difficult to get to Guò." Zhao San said: "The most important thing is that we don't have to walk the glacier and snow mountains like before, we can drive." ”

"Look at you're too lazy." Zhang Meng said with a smile.

"Nonsense, the third uncle is an old bone, but it's no better than you young people, if you climb the snowy mountain a few times, I'm afraid the old rheumatism will be committed." After speaking, Zhao San sighed, pretended to have rheumatic pain, and tricked Xiaolou to help him beat his back.

"It's really going to take advantage!" Zhang Meng secretly cursed, but he didn't expose it.

Although Xiao Lou also knew that Zhao San was pretending, he still stepped forward to massage Zhao San.

"The most important thing is to choose this road, there may be clues left by Taoism along the way!" Ye Jiu said calmly: "Tibet is a holy place for Buddhism, there is almost no space for Taoism to survive, and southern Xinjiang is the sphere of influence of Islam. The only gap that can be suitable for the survival of Taoism is the junction of two regions. ”

"Little Niangniang is right this time, the key to solving the mystery of immortality is still in Taoism, we must go down this line to find the answer!" At this time, the fat man, who was holding butter tea in one hand and tsamba in the other, was walking out of the house while chewing food.

"Little fat man, you're finally right about one thing." Seeing that the fat man also agreed to choose this path, Zhao San laughed heartily.

"Good! Since everyone agrees, we choose this road into West Kunlun. Zhang Meng slapped his thigh, which can be regarded as a clap.

"In this case, I'll go find the guide."

"Then I'll go buy equipment!"

"I'll look for the car."

Everyone scattered, but Brother Jun stayed where he was, looked at Zhang Meng and the fat man, and said lightly: "You two, come with me." ”
