Chapter 34: Jade Dragon Mountain
I was ecstatic to see this news, this is the opportunity God gave me! Liu Xiang and I packed our bags and prepared to go to Shaanxi. Before leaving, Liu Xiang asked me if I wanted to inform Lu Zhidao, saying that he would feel at ease if he had this kind of action, and I said: "People deliberately avoid you, but they don't want to get involved, after all, this is my parents' business, in fact, you don't have to go." Liu Xiang said anxiously: "Go, go, your parents' business is my parents' business, how can there be any reason for your own parents' affairs to do children." "I heard that this tomb is quite dangerous, there is no professional person to guide us, and we don't know what to prepare, so we stuffed the remaining things of Lu Zhidao at home into our backpacks and set off. After about 20 hours of taking the train, we finally arrived, and as soon as we got off the train, we rented a van and went straight to our destination. Along the way, the driver's eyebrows fluttered and told us: "We Shaanxi is a good place, there was Qin Shi Huang before, and now there is the Han Dynasty, look at your dress like an archaeology enthusiast." "Liu Xiang and I wore extremely simple and capable, a black windbreaker, two mountaineering bags bulging, and the Martin boots on our feet were also made of cold-proof cowhide. Liu Xiang said: "The master has good eyesight." ”
The driver said proudly: "That's it, since the ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty was shaken out, all kinds of tourists came from all over the country one after another, and there are many foreigners coming, but yes, it's really unfortunate that you came, the first few archaeological teams went in and were trapped in the heavy rain, and now the rain has stopped and no one has been rescued. ”
Liu Xiang then asked, "Then master, do you know the origin of this tomb?" ”
The driver's master: "How do I understand this, if it sounds good, it is an ancient tomb, and if it is ugly, it is called a dead man's grave, and it is too late to hide, you young people are still moving forward." ”
I said, "Master, how can this earthquake break the mountains?" ”
The driver lit a cigarette and said, "You don't understand." It is said that when Kun was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to control the water, he saw that the people on the ground were invaded by the flood and fled in all directions, unable to hunt and farm, and almost unable to survive. But the only way Kun can think of a flood of this magnitude is to contain it. Seeing these floods continue to break through his dikes and dams, Kun could no longer bear the powerlessness of watching mortals suffer and be powerless, so he decided to steal the treasure of the Heavenly Court, the "Resting Soil", a soil that would grow and prevent the containment of Kun from failing. With the help of the "Resting Soil", the mortals escaped the catastrophe of the flood and began to leave the barren hills and caves and start life again on the ground. Kun was very relieved to see that these mortals were able to start living and working in peace and contentment because of his help. Kun also sprinkled the remaining "resting soil" on the border, which is now the Qinling Mountains. After Kun returned to Heaven, the master of the Heavenly Realm was very angry at the theft of "Xiyang", and was sentenced to thunder and lightning. This is Jade Dragon Mountain. ”
Liu Xiang and I listened to it with relish, and Liu Xiang said: "It turns out that there is such a story in this Jade Dragon Mountain. ”
I said, "Because the mountain range of Yulong Mountain is based on a jade stomach, jade is not as hard as stone, and the material is brittle, so it will be broken by earthquakes." ”
The driver said, "It's still this girl who is smart." The mountains of this Jade Dragon Mountain are all jade, which cannot be compared with the Qinling Mountains, so the earthquake will be broken. ”
After chatting and chatting, they arrived at their destination, and the ancient tomb was under martial law by the military for dozens of kilometers. The two of us found a hidden place looking for an opportunity to sneak in. Shaanxi is long and narrow, with high terrain from north to south and low in the middle, and at the same time, the characteristics of the terrain sloping from west to east are also obvious. There are a variety of terrains such as plateaus, mountains, plains, and basins. We are now in the plains, and it seems that the twisted Jade Dragon Mountain is right in front of us, and it will take several days to walk through it. It was already early afternoon, and there were troops and police patrolling everywhere with guns, and Liu Xiang and I were going to take a break and sneak in at night.
Looking at this empty and endless plain, the mood suddenly opened up, after the earthquake, the Yulong Mountain is not as majestic as in the past, the dust floats in the sky above the mountain for a long time, and it is gray. Liu Xiang sighed: "The Jade Dragon Mountain that is not broken is definitely more spectacular. ”
I said, "Yes, human beings are endlessly demanding from nature, and you see that retribution is not coming now." ”
Liu Xiang looked puzzled.
I said, "With such a small earthquake, not a single tree in Qinling has been broken, so why can Yulong Mountain crack?" ”
Liu Xiang was still full of doubts, I shook the bracelet on my hand, and he suddenly realized: "Yulong Mountain is empty!" ”
I said, "Yes, Yulong Mountain has been continuously mined, and the inside of the mountain is empty, and the earthquake will definitely not be able to support it." ”
The two of us kept talking nonsense, thinking that we were preparing a dagger and a stick, and then looking at the pistols in the hands of the army, we couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Before you know it, it's getting dark. We snuck in during the changing of the guard at the patrol.
