It is very comfortable to live in this valley, and at night I went to the hot spring wooden house on the west side to take a bath, and my whole body was comfortable from top to bottom. After taking a bath, I went to cut the leftover mutton eaten in the afternoon in an iron pot, boiled mutton fat in the iron pot, made a dish of fried lamb with shallots, and fried some tiger meat with mutton fat, and drank with the main father and his wife. By the moonlight of the waning moon, on the wooden pier at the door, he played the guitar and sang a few songs, which was very happy.

In the following days, in addition to the fixed swordsmanship with the master father Hong, it was a variety of processing, and then found a piece of fine redwood wood in the cave to make a scabbard, and built two stoves with mud and stone in the two rooms, and the chimney was of course mud and stone, and made two sets of harness for the two Dawan horses, and rode the horse to herd sheep with the master father Hong's family, and carved the green tiger and the red lion on the two pieces of jade with a carving knife.

Mulan Buick did not come back at the agreed time, five days passed, two people did not come back, Ouyang Xuan climbed to the cliff on the west side of the mountain in addition to the snow mountain is also no location information at all, when he came in was confused, it snowed several times outside the valley, hungry tigers, snow leopards, wolves and other beasts also entered the valley many times, was ruthlessly killed, in the open space on the west side of the wooden house erected a lot of wooden stakes, covered with hanging wood, the master father Hong is worthy of being the heir of the Mo family, designed an ingenious mechanism, When you pull the rope when you go in, the hanging wood inside will swing irregularly and violently, and you can use this to practice reaction speed and swordsmanship.

On the eleventh day after entering the valley straight, the handsome man drove the cattle and sheep up, not the original 100 sheep, but 50 cows on the basis of that, and the cattle carried a lot of rye flour and black naan on their backs, and also brought three sheepskins with Chinese characters written in Lishu. The first sheepskin was written by King Nan, telling him that the belongings in the Xingyuan Mountain Cave could be used to his heart's content, and the meteoric iron sword was given to Ouyang Xuan as a return for the knife, and the other materials had been taken away, and what was left was Ouyang Xuan's. And said that this trip may be more auspicious and less, the first two of Sima Ji's lord have been fulfilled, and the back should also be fulfilled, if he has an accident, all the property in the line except for the weapon belongs to Ouyang Xuan, and the weapon is handed over to the Hututou person when the weapon goes out of the valley, and the date of payment is the summer calendar year used in the Western Regions and the Central Plains is in the Wusun way, and the date is written on the sixth day of October. The handwriting is supposed to have been written with pine resin mixed with other substances, and when it was lit with fire, it was burned on the sheepskin. The second chapter of the sheepskin is a monk's, except for some polite language, that is, to find the people who were separated after the Wensu City was broken by the Cypriots, and after finding it, he can send someone to Dawan to inform him that he will stay there for half a year. It is also made of pine resin, and the date of payment is the sixth day of October in the year of Bingxu. The third sheepskin was written by Wei Zheng, and it is also the most important, first said why he didn't say goodbye, it was to help King Nan help his son ascend to the throne of Kunmo, and used a plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang, but what he didn't expect was that King Nan himself used it as bait, but was robbed and killed by the Dagger Department, and is now assisting Kunmo to clear the forces of the two kings, and after completing the help of Kunmo to stabilize the situation, he will take his family back to Han. Kun Mo is very grateful to Ouyang Xuan for his immortal exploits in helping to pacify the hinterland of the Tianshan Mountains, and will regularly provide food and drink according to the original agreement of the Southern King until Ouyang Xuan leaves Xingyuan and returns to the east, this is written in ink, and the date of payment is October 13 of the year of Bingxu.

The handsome guy took out a wolf skin again, opened it, and engraved a very special pattern on it, and after asking the handsome guy, he learned that this was something like a pass, and this thing would be warmly entertained in the countries and tribes of the Western Regions, and its status was equivalent to that of a king of Wusun Yuzi in person. I found two sheepskins, went to the cave and rummaged through them, and really found a kind of thin pine resin, and wrote a sheepskin letter to the monk with a wooden stick, telling him that he had found his niece, and wrote one to Wei Zheng, telling him about his condition and planning to leave at the end of spring. After writing, he lit the pine resin, burned it, handed it to the handsome guy, made a mark, asked him to call back to the Tubu, handed it to the head man and asked him to send someone to the two people, and the handsome guy rode away. The valley is once again peaceful.

Let the master father Hong arrange the cattle and sheep, sit on the wooden pier in front of the door, and think repeatedly about how to go in the future, now that the king of the south is dead, it seems that his son only knows that this is the line of the king of the south, but does not know that this is also the place where the king of the south hides treasures. Nanwang and the monk two parchment should be handed over to the Hututou people on the day of departure, so it is estimated that today should be October 28 in the year of Bingxu, go back to the house to find the perpetual calendar on the tablet, it is now the second year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, that is, 155 years, according to the summer calendar every nineteen years to repeat the date of the same year to make a calendar, before the arrival of next summer, we must set off to return to the east.

The next days are still happy and substantial, the little wolf cub has been taken care of by Ouyang Xuan, the main father Yan begged several times and did not agree, after all, it is a commitment to a person and a very humane white wolf, feeding on time every day, swordsmanship has made rapid progress under the sparring of the main father Hong, from the initial into the hanging wood array is still a little busy, to the end can be at ease, the main father Hong is the same, although he is a little older, he is strengthened by Ouyang Xuan, he doesn't need to practice running and jumping, after all, he can run and run like an ordinary person with a few years of foot rings, Reflexes and memory judgments are trained. The hanging wood array can also enter and exit calmly in the end. Since the things in the cave are all their own, they all move the things in the cave to the wooden house, and pack them in wooden boxes, in fact, they are loaded with more than 100 gold nuggets and the box of jade, which is a specialty of the Western Regions, especially the Altai Mountains, also known as the gold mountain, has been a gold rush resort since ancient times. Basically move everything in the hole to the wooden house closest to the stable. I always wanted to go to the deepest part of the pit, but I gave up because of the lack of oxygen. Finally, at the suggestion of the master's father, Hong, he carried it with bulging air in a cowhide bag and made a respirator out of a reed pipe in the river before entering the depths of the cave. I didn't find anything at the end.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the first snow fell in the valley, and the already dry peppers were taken out and left with seeds, and the skin was crushed by Moh. Slaughtered a cow, boiled butter, stir-fried a few dishes, and had a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with the main father Hong's family in the evening. All kinds of stir-fried beef, as well as all kinds of fried mutton, and black dumplings were breaded with rye. The little white wolf has opened its eyes, a bit like the Satsuma dog when he was a child, and the hair on his neck is also very long, a bit like their brother, but today the two little ones are a little restless, keep barking, keep running, as if they see something big and terrifying. Ouyang Xuan didn't care, comforted the two restless little guys, and put them in the arms of the master father Yan to let them play, the child, the adults had already eaten secretly when they were cooking, and the two of them sat around the table of the new work with the master father and wife, and sang about the wine. There was no vigil or anything, so after eating, I cleaned up briefly, and then went back to my room to sleep.

Slept until midnight and heard a wolf howl from the surrounding mountain beams, which made Ouyang Xuan sleepy, this kind of wolf howl was different from what he had heard before, with a trace of fear, his voice trembled a little, he quickly got up and got dressed, fully armed, with the sword on his back, Nu hanging on his waist, hanging the crossbow arrow belt, inserting a short knife into the leg sheath, putting on the headlamp, pushing open the door of the house, and seeing that it was pitch black outside, and there was some blue-green light shaking on the hillside on the south side. It was the first time in more than two months that a pack of wolves had come down from the southern slope, and when they came out and left the hut, they felt that something was wrong, and there were wolves on the ridges on the west and north sides, all of them were roaring and restlessly walking back and forth.

Ouyang Xuan felt a trace of unease, and the master father Hong also carried the sword out of his wooden house, and used the wooden pier to open the door with his backhand, before coming to Ouyang Xuan, "Childe, there seems to be some change here", "Well, this wolf howl is mixed with fear, there is only one road in this valley, you guard here, I'll take a look", after speaking, he pulled out the sword from behind his back with his right hand, held the short knife with his left hand, and ran towards the valley mouth on the northwest side, the sword was still effective in this dark night. When there was still a certain distance from the valley mouth, a huge black shadow had already crashed into the gate of the valley that Ouyang Xuan had just repaired half a month ago. Even the safety ditch that was one meter wide and one meter deep did not stop this huge behemoth, and it was a steep slope that came down from the mouth of the valley, rushing down, probably Ouyang Xuan's headlamp attracted him, changed the original running route, and ran towards Ouyang Xuan. The headlamp rotated to the high beam, and the light shone directly into the eyes of the giant beast, which turned out to be a black giant bear. It was at least 4 meters long, with a forelimb height of at least 2 meters, obvious blood stains on its mouth and paws, which had not yet dried, and several bows and arrows stuck in its back and hind limbs. If you let this guy run through the valley, it will be troublesome. Take advantage of the short-term blindness of the bear's eyes, quickly return the sword into the sheath, take off the Nu, draw out three arrows, put one on the Nu trough, immediately pull the rod on the wind, the headlamp has been shining on the bear's eyes, * Nu directly aimed at the bear's head, about 300 meters away, no launch, according to the volume of this guy's bones must be thick and hard, and when it reached 200 meters, he saw clearly the eyes with white light under the headlamp, aimed at the eyes to judge the amount of advance, pulled the trigger, and then placed the new arrow rod winding flat, Aiming at the other eye and firing again, and then repeating the action again to aim at the forehead is another crossbow arrow, three arrows are finished, quickly retreat a few steps, hang up, draw the sword, and then see the giant bear lying down 50 meters away from him, his jaw is close to the ground, his limbs are stretched back, his chest and abdomen are still lying together, it seems that he is not dead, he does not dare to step forward at this time, just the size of that claw, it is enough to pat himself. The crossbow bolt on the forehead goes halfway, the crossbow bolt on the eye has a little tail on the left side, and the right one goes in most of the nose bone. Carefully step forward, the bear's body reaction weakened little by little, and when there were still five or six steps, he suddenly accelerated forward, the sword was reversed, and both hands were raised high to reach the maximum attack distance, and when he stepped in front of the bear's head, the two-handed sword pierced the top of the giant bear's head, and the tip of the sword was inserted straight into it with the sound of the wind, and the blood slowly left out along the blood tank. The bear's body shook and then stood still, his hands and feet were used to draw out the sword, the sword was not stained with any blood, the crossbow arrows were not easy to draw, there were barbs, and then said when the day dawned, the wolf howl on the mountain was still the same, and he quickly raised his sword and ran towards the valley mouth, a tiger just crossed the safety ditch, sideways to avoid the tiger's pounce route, the right hand sword swung down hard, and was cut off directly with the front paws with the head. Looking down from Taniguchi, there are many blue, white, and green eyes running wildly. Forcefully close the gate of Taniguchi. Plugged it with stones, and found a thick piece of wood instead of a broken latch. Hurry back to the wooden house, because Ouyang Xuan saw that the wolves on the southern slope had already entered the cedar forest, and there was a wooden house not far across the river.

The lord father Hiroshi was still standing with his sword in his hand, staring at the cedar forest, under the high beam of the headlamp, the green light in the forest flickered, and wolves had appeared by the river. It obviously doesn't feel right today, these beasts and animals seem to be hordes of fear, could it be an earthquake? Thinking of this, let the master father Hong go to get the saber, move the iron pot down and buckle it on the ground, and knock it with the saber, and he ran to the west to see if there was anything abnormal in the hot spring, and when he went to the pool where he soaked almost every day, a strong smell of sulfur came to his face, and at this time two torches appeared at the gate of the valley, and shouted loudly, listening to the sound seemed to be Mulan Buick and handsome guys, hurry over, raise the leash, let them in, at this time it is very dangerous to face the beast in fear outside. Pulling them to run in the direction of the wooden house, when Mulan Buick saw the giant bear on the way, he and the handsome guy stopped and slashed with a saber. "What are you doing here, you're all dead, there's a wolf over there," he said, pointing to the cedar forest on the guide side. "This monster has ruined the tribe under the mountain, many people have died, and my sister was trampled to death by it", the handsome man kept chopping, and said in a voice that was almost crying. I swept the cedar forest and the river with my headlamp, and saw that the wolves had run to the southeast, and if I went up there, I could reach the cliff, and it was estimated that there would be a fight between the two waves of wolves. Ouyang Xuan put his mind at ease, "Why did you come here?" "Chasing the footprints of monsters, the beasts in the mountains are crazy, and the sheep are also crazy" Mulan Bek said, "This is the Tengger god, punish those who have failed the southern king Kalchahadr, and let the madness of the beasts express their anger at the loss of the great benevolent lord of the southern Yuz", Ouyang Xuan didn't say anything, just patted the handsome guy on the shoulder. Watching the wolf go up to the cliff on the west side, I was completely relieved, if a few wolves or beasts broke through the gate of the valley, it would be really difficult to deal with. "Well, we are all very sad about the death of King Nan, you go back quickly, and tell the people to stay away from the mountains and rocks, stay away from the cliffs for a few days, and stay away from the river. The mountain god may be even more angry, after all, the king of the south, Kalchahadr, was once the master of this mountain, and this monster will be taken tomorrow with the most trustworthy people", "Thank you, most noble messenger, we will go back and do as you have told".

watched the two of them leave the valley and disappear into the horse path below the mountain before closing the gate. The beasts in the mountains became more and more manic, and the wolves on the cliff on the west side did not fight, but howled wildly there, and went to the cave where the lord Hiroshi used to live, and the smell of sulfur in it was even greater, and the water was a little dim under the headlamp, and it seemed that there should be an earthquake. Back to the wooden house, sit on the wooden pier, look at the sky, "Maybe the ground is going to move, you let the sister-in-law and the children get dressed and go to bed again, put out the stove in the house, if it catches fire, it will be troublesome, fortunately this is far away from the cliff, the wooden house is quite strong, and the river is far away", "listen to the arrangement of the son", and went back to his house after speaking. After a while, the master father Yan came out dressed neatly, got on Ouyang Xuan's lap, raised his head and looked at Ouyang Xuan's chin and said, "Uncle Ouyang, my father said that the ground is moving, so what is the ground moving?" "Innocent big eyes flickering. Ouyang Xuan looked down at the little girl, shook it a few times, and almost turned the little girl upside down, "That's what it looks like when the earth moves, go back to sleep." When he felt the ground move, he ran to the door," and put the little girl on the ground, and watched him go back to the house, and then he went into the house, and checked the stove, and the fire was already out.

It took a lot of effort to dig out the three crossbow arrows to the giant bear, wipe them clean with snow and put them in the quiver, and as soon as he returned to the door of the house, the earth shook violently, and from the degree of tremor, Ouyang Xuan probably judged that it was at least level 7 or above through the experience of many earthquake rescues. It was a little difficult to walk, so I quickly leaned on to the wall of the wooden house to the next room, and saw that the three of them were out of the house, so I lay down on the ground and rolled away from the house. got up and squatted, the main father and the Hong family supported each other, and also walked to a place some distance from the house, seeing Ouyang Xuan squatting, they helped each other to squat down in the same way.

The tremors lasted about 15 minutes. I saw that the cliff on the north side had collapsed, and the boulders on the south and west cliffs kept rolling down, and the west side also partially collapsed, and the thick fog came out of the cave more and more, and finally collapsed. On the east side, there was nothing to see due to the houses blocking it. Fortunately, a month ago, Ouyang Xuan reinforced several wooden houses and stables, using external slashes and internal columns and adding mortise and tenon structures, in order to prevent large beasts from attacking the houses. I didn't expect the earthquake to be used. When the shaking was over, I got up and saw that the house was intact, that the mud stove had collapsed, and that the cattle and sheep had been enclosed on the platform on the east side of the hillside on the south side, and that the wolves had just passed by there, but they were not in the mood to go in. Except for some sabers that have not been taken out of the cave on the north side, they are basically empty. "The lord and brother went to check the stables and the flock to see if there was any loss. Sister-in-law and child at the door, do not enter the house. I'll go to Taniguchi", after saying that, he ran straight to Taniguchi, most afraid that something would go wrong there and block the way out such as a collapse. When I arrived at Taniguchi, except for some small stones that fell within the reach of the headlights, it was still intact, and half of the Taniguchi gate collapsed. Standing here and looking at the whole valley, the cliffs on both sides of the original are gone, and they have become a rocky slope more than 200 meters high, and there are still several wolf corpses on the edge of the stone mound on the west side, and there is still white gas in the cracks of the stones. What is this called, the first Chinese New Year's Eve caught up with the earthquake.

Back at the wooden house, the Mo family and the mother fell asleep, they slept soundly, it seemed that they had slept like this before. Go into the house and put your sleeping bag on them. He shoveled the mud and gravel from the collapse of the stove to the outside with an ordnance shovel, and kicked two frightened little wolf cubs into the arms of the fleece underwear, and the two little ones were a little big and looked bulging with bellies. The lord father Hiroshi came back and brought bad news that part of the mountain on the east side had collapsed, blocking the river, and the cattle and sheep were frightened and trampled on each other, injuring about twenty of them. If this is a dammed lake, it must not be completely flooded, and when Ouyang Xuan went over to see it, there was no danger, the river did not grow, and it flowed out through the cracks in the stones. At an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, it is stoned and has little soil, making it difficult to form a dammed lake.

and the main father Hong's family stayed up at the door until dawn, during which there were also many aftershocks, one of which was no less than the first time, and the time was longer, a full half an hour, and the empty wooden house in front of it still collapsed. "The power of heaven and earth, beyond the canon, destroys mountains and landfalls, like clenching fingers into a fist, I don't know how many roof beams are destroyed, people and animals are injured, hitting the sky and resentment, and the gods are slandered", after speaking, he shook his head, "What Gongzi said is extremely true, I Momen said that the evolution of heaven and earth is autonomous, and it has nothing to do with people and gods, and people are attached to mountains, rivers and rivers, and it is also an independent thing. "Go to sleep, I'll check the surroundings, the Hutu people are coming to fetch the bear today." Seeing that they are really sleepy, let them sleep quickly, there is no big problem if they don't sleep for two or three days, it will affect the judgment. I went to the stables and harnessed the BMW and rode around the valley. An earthquake destroyed this beautiful valley, two cliffs are now a mountain bag formed by a pile of rocks, a small mountain beam on the east side collapsed, and a slope was formed below, the original cliff wall more than 10 meters high was also gone, the cedar forest on the south side was knocked down by the stones rolling down from the mountain, a new river was left from the south slope, the hot spring houses there on the west side were all flooded by the rocks, the spring water was left out of the cracks in the stones, and under the stone piles merged into a small stream, which flowed into the river. I tested the water temperature, I can definitely cook the eggs, the water quality is still dim, there is a strong smell of sulfur, the water in the depths of the stone crevices also fluoresces faintly, it should be the underground radioactive inert gas radon flowing out, and the dose is not small, it seems that the main father Hong's family can not be allowed to come to this vicinity, the two little white wolves like it very much, keep poking their heads out of their arms, since they are willing to play here, then play, anyway, you are also mutants, I just don't know if this radon has any effect on the wolf, no matter, He dismounted and released the wolf from his arms, dug a pit with a knife one meter in diameter, drew water from the stream, put some snow in it, adjusted the temperature of the water, made a fence with branches, and enclosed them there. Although it was an unintentional move, it was of far-reaching significance, and this is a later story.

He mounted his horse and then made his rounds, returned the horse to the stable, unloaded his harness, went to see the black bear, and waited for the Hutu people to carry the bear, until the third pole of the day, Mulan Buick and the handsome man came, and they did not bring anyone with them. Seeing Ouyang Xuan sitting there, he bowed down and said, "Honorable envoy, the mountain god is really angry, thank you for the reminder of the envoy, the mountain tribe and other Hutu tribes have not been injured or killed", Mulan Bek said very sincerely, the handsome guy did not say a word, he had a silent expression from beginning to end, it should still be related to the giant bear. "How do you two get the monster back?" "Honorable messenger, the wizard only needs to bring his head back to sacrifice, and at the same time, Wang Cheng sent a few people under the mountain to see you, I don't know if you agree, now this valley Kunmo has been given to the messenger, this is up to you", "When was this valley given to me, why don't I know", "Kunmo's messenger is waiting for your instructions at the bottom of the mountain, and there are people sent by Wang Cheng to meet you", "Who is Wang Cheng?" "Honorable messenger, the current Wang Cheng is the chief of the original benevolent and noble King Nan", "Oh, then let them all come up, are you cutting off the monster head, or will I help you cut it?" "Let's do it", since you want a knife, it's up to them. Their knives were obviously not very good for this giant bear, and in the end, it was Ouyang Xuan who cut off the neck vertebrae with a sword, and they cut off the bear's head and skinned the bear. During the whole process, the handsome guy chopped the body of the bear with a knife, and a huge bear was almost chopped into minced meat in the end, if it weren't for Ouyang Xuan and Ouyang Xuan to keep the bear's paws, it would really be minced meat. After doing what they had to do, the two of them rode down the mountain.

He tied the cut bear's paw with a straw rope and took it back to the wooden house, where he steamed the bear's paw at lunch. When I thought of eating, I remembered that the wolf cub was still in the hot spring, and when I ran over, I saw two little ones who didn't know how to get out of the fence, and were climbing the pile of stones, as if they liked the smell of radon and sulfur, and poked their heads into the cracks of the stones and kept twitching their noses. Wet all over, must have fallen into that pit, covered in white hair, turned into gray hair. Grab the two little ones and wash them by the puddle. Put it on a stone hit by a stream, the little guy still kept inhaling, and had a posture to drink, so he quickly lifted it, the water temperature could boil the eggs, and the little tongue was not yet cooked. I found a stone pit by the stream and tested the temperature of the water, it was just warm, it was the water flowing from the stream, and it was a little cold under the static. The two little ones seemed to like to drink very much, and after a while they were full of water, and their stomachs were bulging like leather balls. After playing with them for a while, I went back to the cabin.

One morning, after several aftershocks, the mudstone stove collapsed, so he could only use an iron shelf to put the iron pot on the rack and let Mo's go to the river flowing down from the mountain on the south side to get water, find a few thumb-thick fir branches to peel off the skin and scrape them clean, cut off the appropriate size and put it two or three centimeters above the water surface, put the packed bear paw on the temporary steaming shaver, cover it, take some firewood to boil it, and steam the bear paw, although it is not as authentic as the taste of later generations, now it is expensive in the original flavor. The two little wolf cubs seemed to like the hot springs very much, and ran in that direction when they put them on the ground, but they could only take the two little ones to the edge of the hot springs to play for a while the bear's paws were still steaming, and then drank a stomach of radioactive water and came back. It is very strange that these two little guys obviously have no symptoms of discomfort, but have a lot of energy, and the water in that stomach is quickly absorbed, and they have to run to drink water, and they go five or six times before they fall asleep in the sheepskin nest. Every time the master father Yan wanted to go to the hot spring, he was strictly forbidden by Ouyang Xuan, "If you don't want to get a strange disease, don't get close to the hot spring within 200 steps, and drink water with the water flowing down from the Gu Nan Mountain or the snow water melting from the north", after dividing the steamed bear paws, Ouyang Xuan solemnly warned the master father Hong's family, there can be two palm-sized thick bear paws for one person, one is enough to fill the stomach, the taste is not bad, before coming out of the pot, a lot of cuts were made with a knife, and some salt noodles were sprinkled, a bit like eating glutinous rice cakes.

When you are full, you have to work, Mo went to feed the cattle, sheep and horses, Ouyang Xuan and the main father Hong also had to build a stove, the temperature in the valley dropped a lot after the earthquake, the water and mud in the river were not used, snow water was used, and there were many stones of various shapes, and the stoves of the two rooms were built in one afternoon, and they were quickly lit and dried, so as not to let the aftershocks collapse. In the evening, Mulan Buick came to the valley with a dozen people, one of whom was Wei Meng, and an old man with a white beard and hair.

Note: The earthquake mentioned in the article occurred in January of the third year of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty in history, and formed the famous landscape paradise lake on the Wusun Ancient Road, which is recorded in the text handed down by Dawan, and now the document is in the National Museum of Tajikistan, and there are legends about the earthquake and wolves in the local legends, which will be described later, in fact, there was a major earthquake in the Western Regions that year, I really couldn't connect it in series, and the difference was 5 months before and after, which also caused landscape changes.
