Chapter 295: Death Valley
"It's just a legend!" Wei Qing also smiled: "In fact, not only Tianshan, but also the legends of Kunlun Mountain are many!" ”
"Really?" Wei Qi'a asked, "What else!" ”
Wei Qing secretly scolded himself in his heart, why did he say that "there are many legends of Kunlun Mountain".
He replied helplessly: "There are too many of these, I can't remember all of them, I only remember a few!" ”
"Then please tell General Wei about these few!" Wei Qi'a urged: "I also want to hear what legends our mountains in the Western Regions have in the Central Plains?" ”
Wei Qing sighed secretly, and had to continue to endorse: "According to the record of the "Great Wilderness of the West": the south of the West Sea, the shore of quicksand, after the red water, before the black water, there is a big mountain, called the hill of Kunlun, there is a god, a human face and a tiger body, there is a text and a tail, all white, everywhere, there is an abyss of weak water under it, and there is a mountain of fire outside, and there are people who have hoopoes, tiger teeth, leopard tails, holes, called the Queen Mother of the West, and everything in this mountain.
There is also the "Hai Nei West Classic" said: the void of Kunlun in the sea, in the northwest, under the emperor, the void of Kunlun, eight hundred miles square, ten thousand miles high, there are Mu He, long five fathoms, big five around, and there are nine wells, with jade as the threshold, there are nine doors on the face, the door has an enlightened beast to guard it, where the hundred gods are, in the rock of the eight corners, on the occasion of the red water, non-Renyi can not go to the rock of Gang.
"Huainanzi" cloud: Kunlun has a big rice on the void, about four or five zhang thick, in the west of it there are pearl trees, jade trees, Xuan trees, immortal trees, as well as phoenixes and Luan birds, phoenixes and Luan birds head hanging snakes, stepping on snakes, chest and abdomen hanging snakes, begonia trees and Lang Ji trees in the east of it, its south side has a red tree, carved birds, belly snakes, six Jiao, depending on the meat, its gathering meat is shaped like beef liver, there are two eyes, the food is endless, looking for it to regenerate as before, there are green trees, Yao trees, Wenyu trees in the north, the tree grows a colorful jade, very beautiful, And there are phoenix luanbirds, etc., the fruit on the immortal tree can be immortal if you eat it, the beautiful jade grows on the Langji tree, it is the food of the phoenix and the luanbird, "Huainanzi" said that Kunlun is 11,114 steps 2 feet 6 inches, and the mountain is stacked with nine layers! ”
Wei Qi'a couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "This book is too godly, no one has ever measured how high Kunlun Mountain is, and there is no way to measure it, who can go up, I have tried to go to Tomur Peak in the Tianshan Mountains, but in the end I couldn't reach the top!" ”
"Is that hill hard to climb?" Shi Qian listened attentively on the side, he had long forgotten what he had done wrong, and he heard Wei Qi'a say that he had been on a peak in the Tianshan Mountains, and his curiosity arose, and he interjected and asked.
"It's really hard!" Wei Qi'a sighed, as if he was climbing the mountain in the snow: "The mountain is a whole piece of ice, this ice moves at a very slow speed, we call it a glacier, the cracks on the glacier are criss-crossed, dense as a spider web, a careless fall, will be frozen to death in the depths of the ice crevices, the glacier melts strongly in summer, the meltwater merges into many glacier channels, the largest one is as wide as a zhang, the depth can reach two zhang up and down, the sound of the water roars, endlessly, the ice surface is covered with large and small drifting gravel, very difficult to walk.
When the ice surface around the boulder falls due to melting, the ice body covered by the boulder forms icicles, resembling mushrooms, we call them ice mushrooms, the glacier ice surface is covered with stones of different sizes, people can walk on it, there are countless unfathomable ice lakes on the glacier, hundreds of meters deep ice cracks, as well as light blue ice melting caves, ice stalactites, ice crystal walls, ice towers, ice vertebrae, ice mushrooms, ice tables and glacier wonderlands such as the river under the ice, the weather here is changeable, sometimes the sky is clear, suddenly thunder and a thunderclap shook the sky, look up, Not far away, the snow dust is rolling and flying, flying down, setting off snow waves tens to hundreds of meters high, and the snow mist rising and spreading like mushroom clouds, the scenery is very spectacular! ”
"Since it's so difficult, why does General Wei have to go up!" Liu Qi suddenly interjected.
The muscles on Wei Qi'a's face suddenly jumped: "I'm here to find the Tianshan Snow Lotus!" ”
Several generals let out an "oh".
Tianshan Snow Lotus, although the people of the Central Plains have not seen its shape, but many people know its name.
Legend has it that King Mu of Zhou saw the Queen Mother of the West, and the thing given by the Queen Mother of the West is the Snow Lotus of the Tianshan Mountains, and this thing is a miracle medicine in medicine, and it is said that this flower grows on the cliff cliff at the very high place of the Tianshan Mountains, and in the ice-stained rock crevices; The climate there is extremely cold, the snow does not melt all the year round, and the general plants cannot survive at all, but the snow lotus can be proud of the frost and snow in the severe cold, and the doctors regard the snow lotus as the "king of herbs" and "the best in medicine".
"Why does General Wei want to pick Tianshan Snow Lotus!" Shi Qian asked again.
"Why should I tell you,!" Wei Qi'a suddenly became furious, his eyes were wide open, his breath was short, and his fists were clenched, as if he was going to fight with Shi Qian.
Shi Qian was taken aback, and hurriedly argued: "I'm just asking casually, why should General Wei be angry!" ”
Wei Qing coughed a few times.
Wei Qi'a's expression finally calmed down.
He sighed and bowed deeply to Shi Qian: "General Shi, I'm sorry, your question is asking about my sadness, I lost my temper for a while!" ”
Shi Qian didn't know what to do for a while, if he didn't ask why he was sad, it seemed that he was too indifferent, and if he asked, he didn't know what Wei Qi'a would provoke.
Wei Qi'a understood Shi Qian's thoughts, and smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since this matter, and it's okay to say it!" ”
Several generals were silent, and they all thought to themselves: If it doesn't hurt, why are you so angry? But since you took the initiative to say it, it really doesn't hurt for us to listen to it.
"I picked the Tianshan Snow Lotus because of my wife!" Wei Qi'a said slowly, there was still a trace of pain in his expression: "You Central Plains people should not know that there is a valley in Kunlun Mountain, this valley is the Valley of Death, known as the 'Gate of Hell' in Kunlun Mountain, and the valley is full of wolf fur, bear bones, hunters' knives and guns, and barren hills and lonely graves.
There have been many terrible deaths here, so it is said that neither man nor beast can enter this valley, once, there was a group of horses because of greed for the fat grass in the valley and strayed into the valley of death, a herdsman ventured into the valley to look for horses, after a few days, people did not appear, but the horses appeared, and then his body was found on a hill, his clothes were broken, his feet were barefoot, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was still wide open, and his weapons were still in his hands, and he looked like he was dead, and what was puzzling was that No injuries or signs of assault were found on his body.
Another time, a group of soldiers was ordered to enter the valley to see if there was any enemy here to cause this valley to be so terrifying, when it was hot outside, but there was a sudden snowstorm near the valley of death, at this time the man was cooking, a thunder roar accompanied by a blizzard suddenly, the man fainted on the spot, afterwards the man recalled, when he heard the thunder, he suddenly felt numb all over, his eyes were black, and then he fainted.
The next day, when the soldiers were patrolling around, they were shocked to find that the original loess had turned into black soil, like ashes, and all the animals and plants had been killed.
My wife is young and lively, like to take risks, I heard people talk about the valley of death, actually rode into the valley by himself, wanted to see what the valley was like, but a thunderclap, she fell on the horse, fortunately the horse is an old horse, walked out by himself, and happened to meet a passerby who recognized my wife, so I sent her back, but when she was sent back, the person was about to die, I asked the doctor, the doctor said, look at this symptom, it seems to be a lightning strike, whether it can be saved depends on luck, and immediately prescribed a prescription for me, Other medicines in this recipe are easy to obtain, but only Tianshan Snow Lotus is not easy to obtain, so I rushed to Tianshan Mountain! ”
He suddenly closed his eyes, and the painful look showed that this was not anything "It's okay to talk about it", and he muttered in his mouth: "Although I picked the Tianshan Snow Lotus, I couldn't save my wife in the end, and I went into the valley several times since then, but I didn't see anything, I can only say, this is fate!" ,,,! He said no more, and tears flowed down his face.
The curtain was lifted, and a soldier walked in and whispered in Wei Qing's ear: "General Bai returns: General Wei Qi'a is sincere in dedicating the city!" ”
On this side, Wei Qing ordered the Han army to enter Wuwei City and form a coalition with the Qiuzi army, and on the other side, in Jinchang City, Gongqiu Yizheng and Jinchang defenders, and Dongmu Dao, the commander of the Loulan and Wusun coalition forces, had a fierce conflict.
Gongqiu Yi's eyes were blood-red, his fists were clenched, and he looked as if he was going to fight to the death with Dongmu Dao, Dongmu Dao's face was gloomy, and he stared at Gongqiu Yi viciously without saying a word.
"How dare you say it again!" Gongqiu Yi roared again: "You actually said that you want to escape, and the Wuwei army is waiting to be rescued, but you can say such things!" ”
"I'll say it again", Dongmu Dao replied: "We can't save it at all, the entire Jinchang is only 50,000 military horses, even if they all go up, they will be sent to death, not to mention that the Loulan army is separated from Germany, and we will definitely surrender to the enemy as soon as we start a war, so retreating is the best way!" ”
"Fart!" Gongqiu Yi scolded: "The people of Loulan dare to join the enemy, look at their commander, Father Duolan, who is over sixty years old, recuperating from illness every day, what can he command the people of Loulan to do?" ”
"Don't underestimate the single father Dolan!" Dong Mu Dao's eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light: "This person is old and treacherous, weak and incompetent on the surface, but in fact he has some conspiracy, he beat his daughter and was killed by Prime Minister Geldan, he always has the intention of rebellion, but he just didn't find the right opportunity!" ”
"Then use our soldiers and horses to save it!" Gongqiu Yi shouted: "Among these 50,000 people, 20,000 are our Wusun's soldiers and horses, right, our own soldiers and horses are always no problem!" ”
"You're thinking too simply!" Dong Mou Dao replied calmly: "First, to save Wuwei with 20,000 people, against 200,000 people, this is a suicidal act, second, the Han army did not stop on the way you came to ask for help, and when we set off, Wuwei had already lost, and third, even if we can save Wuwei, if the single father Dolan rebels in Jinchang, how can we retreat, isn't it surrounded?" ”
