The men hastily buried the man's body in yellow sand, and after a short rest, they decided to move on. Tang Feng said that two camels can't sit for five people anyway, but Han Jiang said: "I think these two camels are tall and strong, it's not a problem to sit a few of us, so let's do it, Yelena, you and Lao Ma sit on one side, and I will squeeze together with Tang Feng and Liang Yuan." ”

Yelena didn't say anything, but Tang Feng called out, "Mom, you're the heaviest, and you still have to squeeze with the two of us!" Add in a few of us' bags, and you're going to tire this poor little camel to death! ”

"It's decided, obey the leader's arrangement!" Saying that, Han Jiang rode Tang Feng's camel, Tang Feng had no choice but to ride the camel with Liang Yuan, this camel carried three people, climbed up with great difficulty, and then walked to the sand mountain in front without complaint.

Tang Feng was amazed by the resilience and weight-bearing ability of this camel, about a quarter of an hour later, two camels carried the five of them up the ridge of the sand mountain with difficulty, the scene in front of them made them extremely shocked, just below this sand mountain, suddenly almost on the flat ground rose a huge red stone mountain, the red rock in the sunlight, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, across in front of them, everyone was surprised, Tang Feng first saw in the middle of the huge red stone mountain, as if it was split by a sharp blade, A long, narrow canyon is revealed.

"This is the core area of Wolf Valley?" Tang Feng thought wildly, urging the camels to go down the mountain, and soon, they came to the entrance of the narrow and long canyon at the foot of the Red Rock Mountain.

At the entrance of the canyon, the first thing that attracted Tang Feng's attention was not the canyon itself, but a monument at the mouth of the valley, "There is a monument here!" And it's an ancient monument! Tang Feng had already seen that this stele was an antiquity with an age.

Tang Feng jumped off the camel, came to the stele, brushed off the floating soil on the stele, and the inscription gradually appeared clearly in front of him, "It's Ba Si Pa Wen again." ”

"Paspawen? A monument erected by the Mongols? Han Jiang remembered the remnant of the Ba Si Pa Wen tablet they had seen outside Qianhu Town.

"Yes, it is a monument erected by the Mongols, and the inscription is still the Yiji Nailu Governor's Office, and the title of the monument is 'The Place Where Genghis Khan Fell in Futu Gorge'."

"What kind of nonsense, this is the title of the monument?" Han Jiang Road.

"Yes, that's probably what the translation of the Phags-pa means!" Tang Feng paused for a moment, and then said: "But don't underestimate this topic, just one sentence contains two important information. ”

"Oh?" Everyone gathered around.

"One, 'Futu Gorge' is obviously a place name, so where does it refer to? I think it's the narrow and deep canyon in front of us. ”

"Futu Gorge?" Liang Yuan muttered to himself, "What a strange name, why is this called Futu Gorge?" ”

"You ask me, who do I ask? That's what the ancients called it! Tang Feng said.

"No, as far as I know, 'Futu' is a Buddhist term, so what does this canyon have to do with Buddhism? Maybe there's a splendid temple inside! Liang Yuan said to herself.

"Nonsense, I also know what Futu means, but you see there is not even a ghost in here, like there is a temple?" Tang Feng said angrily.

"You didn't go in, how do you know there won't be a temple inside?" Liang Yuan was still quite unconvinced.

"Okay, then you'll be the first to go in and see if there's a temple inside!"

When Tang Feng said this, Liang Yuan's mouth opened, and she wanted to argue, but she glanced at the eerie canyon and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Seeing Liang Yuan's unconvinced and frightened look, Tang Feng wanted to laugh, he held back, and continued: "The second important information is that this is the place where Genghis Khan fell from his horse, and it has been recorded in the history books of this matter that Genghis Khan fell from his horse in a valley in the north of Western Xia for the last time, and fell ill because of it, after Genghis Khan destroyed Western Xia, he also passed away, but the history books do not say which valley it was in, and the discovery of this tablet proves that Genghis Khan fell here. ”

"What does that inscription say?" Han Jiang asked.

Tang Feng carefully identified the inscription, until he saw the end, shook his head and said disappointedly: "The inscription has no valuable clues, it is similar to the meaning of the forbidden monument we saw outside Qianhu Town, at the beginning it was said that Genghis Khan fell here, and then said that this canyon is narrow and long, and it is eerie and terrifying, and there are often strange noises, and finally warns the soldiers and civilians not to enter here, otherwise they will bear the consequences!" However, there is one point worth pondering. ”

"Oh! Which point? ”

"The inscription does not say whether Genghis Khan was attacked by the party and caused his fall, or was there some other reason for his fall?"

"Didn't you deduce that Genghis Khan was probably injured after being attacked by the Hanhai Micheng Party after reading Yelu Chucai's scroll in Qianhu Town?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

Tang Feng carefully recalled Yelu Chucai's scroll, "Yes, at that time, I boldly deduced that Genghis Khan was probably ambushed by the party in the valley, but I thought about it carefully just now, Yelu Chucai's original words were 'Yu Suixian Khan attacked Western Xia, Xian Khan fell from his horse in the valley, the whole army was terrified, and was attacked by Western Xia, and Yu Sui was separated from the first Khan and the generals', I saw it at the time and said' The Western Xia attacked', it was inferred that Genghis Khan may have been ambushed by the party in the valley, but after careful consideration, Yelu Chucai first said that 'the first Khan fell from his horse in the valley, and the whole army was terrified', and then, 'was attacked by the Western Xia', that is to say, the Western Xia attack was after Genghis Khan's fall! So I think Genghis Khan's army was attacked by the Micheng Dangxiang people, but the Dangxiang people attacked and succeeded when they saw Genghis Khan fall and the Mongol army panicked. ”

Tang Feng's inference, so that everyone appeared in front of a thrilling battle scene, Genghis Khan's army drilled into the narrow and winding deep canyon, I don't know why, Genghis Khan's mount was suddenly frightened, Genghis Khan fell off the horse, the Mongolian army suddenly panicked, just at this time, a team of party ambush soldiers out of the horse, panic, hundreds of Mongolian soldiers to protect around the fallen Genghis Khan, although the party warriors are extremely brave, the Mongolian soldiers on the periphery fell in rows, but there are constantly Mongolian soldiers rushing up, Helplessly, the party had few soldiers, so they had to watch the Mongol army rescue Genghis Khan out of the canyon, leaving only hundreds of corpses and blood flowing into a stream in the deep and winding Futu Gorge.

Han Jiang nodded, "I think it should be like this, so if it wasn't for the sneak attack of the party that led to Genghis Khan's fall, what else could be the reason?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"For example, a horse was suddenly frightened while crossing the valley!" Tang Feng said casually.

"Why should horses be frightened?"

"Then you have to ask about this Futu Gorge!" Tang Feng said, looking into the dark canyon, the winding canyon, it was impossible to glimpse the true face inside.

The five of them spent a long time at the mouth of the valley, and finally they had to break into it and ride the camel again, and Tang Feng and Han Jiang's camels were the first to enter the canyon.

The further you go in, the narrower it becomes, and at first it can accommodate three camels side by side, but later it can only accommodate one camel to go; The further he walked in, the dimer the light became, and Tang Feng looked up, and the sky above his head was almost a line of sky, and the distance between the valley floor and the top was at least six or seven stories high, and the light above couldn't shine down at all.

Not long after they walked in, the canyon began to turn, which was unheard of by everyone, "How can there be so many twists and turns in such a narrow canyon?" Tang Feng couldn't help but wonder.

Bypassing two bends, the front section seems to be a straight road, but Tang Feng can't see the front clearly, because there is a boulder that falls from the top of the mountain, impartially stuck between the rock walls in front, only allowing a little space below to pass, everyone keeps raising their heads, looking up at the top of their heads, vigilantly watching the situation above, for fear that someone is ambushed on it, everyone knows, at this time, if someone sneaks up from above, no guns are needed*, just throw a few stones down from above, even if they can't hit them, It can also trap them alive in this valley.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, but after ten minutes of tension, they came to the boulder, and did not encounter any danger, the space under the boulder could not allow everyone to sit on the camel to pass, everyone had to get off the camel, pull the camel through, walk through the dark space under the boulder, the light in front of them seemed to be much brighter, the valley that had been narrow became a little wider, and everyone's hanging hearts relaxed a little.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan rode on the camel again, Yelena and Makarov also rode on the camel, only Han Jiang waved his hand, "You guys ride, I'll walk below." ”

Everyone continued to walk forward, and turned a corner, Tang Feng suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing from the front, in the scorching heat, he suddenly felt cool, but the camel under him stopped, Tang Feng patted the camel lightly with a whip, but the camel took a step and still stood still, and the camel that looked at Makarov and Yelena was also unable to move forward.

"What's going on?" Tang Feng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, he instinctively pulled out his pistol, and looked at the top of his head, there was no movement above his head, and there was a cool breeze, which was more violent than the one just now, and some small gravel fell from the rock walls on both sides, Tang Feng became more and more nervous, the palm of the hand holding the handle of the gun was full of fine sweat, he slapped the camel again, and shouted in his mouth: "Baby, dear, you should go!" ”

The camel moved forward half a step forward, but with a gust of wind, the camel actually took a step back, accompanied by the strong wind, a strange sound came, this sound seemed to be someone crying, and it seemed that someone was shouting horses, the sound of soldiers colliding, Tang Feng was shocked, Liang Yuan looked ahead in horror, "This...... What is this sound? ”

The crowd stopped looking overhead, and all stared straight ahead at the deep canyon that twisted and twisted, and what would appear there? Genghis Khan's army? A brave and combative party warrior? Or the men in black under the general? Or...... Or some scary monster?

Tang Feng obviously felt the uneasiness of the camel, and both camels began to sway, their hooves kept raising and falling, and they seemed to be very irritable and uneasy! Tang Feng jerked the camel under him again, and this time the camel simply took a step back! Side by side with Makarov and Yelena's camels.

Tang Feng didn't dare to whip the camel again, he clamped the camel with his legs, and firmly hugged Liang Yuan, at this time, those weird sounds became louder and louder, and the wind became stronger and stronger.

At the moment when the earth trembled, the strange sound rose sharply, Tang Feng felt that the camel under him shook violently, and his body no longer belonged to him, he firmly hugged Liang Yuan, and then grabbed the camel's hump, no matter how the camel shook, he just didn't let go, but the originally docile camel seemed to be crazy, and suddenly raised his front hooves, Tang Feng and Liang Yuan couldn't sit still, and they were about to be turned down by the camel, suddenly, a pair of powerful big hands suddenly grabbed the camel's reins, so that the camel did not fall back, Tang Feng fixed his eyes and saw that it was Han Jiang, at this time, only Han Jiang could reach out to save him, and then see that Han Jiang's other hand was not idle, and firmly grasped the reins of Makarov's camel, and the camel also raised its front hooves high as if it was crazy!

The camels were obviously greatly frightened, and the two tall camels raised their front hooves vigorously and fell backwards, while Han Jiang firmly controlled the reins and pulled the two camels down to prevent Tang Feng from falling. This is a contest between man and beast, a race between Han Jiang and two camels!

Obviously, the strength of the two camels was greater, Han Jiang didn't let go, his feet were constantly pulled by the camels and slid backwards, three steps in a row, but at the fourth step, Han Jiang regained his footing, and did not make the camel turn over, Han Jiang's hands had been ground out of blood by the reins, his face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and persisted, Tang Feng really wanted to go down to help Han Jiang, but at this moment he couldn't move on the back of the camel.

Tang Feng saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, and when he saw that Han Jiang was about to lose his support, Tang Feng closed his eyes, he was ready for the worst, but who expected, after he closed his eyes, he felt that his body fell forward with the camel, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Tang Feng hurriedly opened his eyes and watched, it turned out that the two camels had all fallen back to their original places, and at this moment they became honest and docile again, this is Han Jiang's divine power? Still is...... Tang Feng calmed down and listened carefully, the angry howl of the yin wind just now disappeared, and the strange sound was far away, no wonder the camel regained its calm!

Tang Feng hurriedly jumped off the camel and asked Han Jiang with concern, "How are your hands?" It's all bleeding! ”

Han Jiang didn't care, "It's nothing, it's a little bit of skin." ”

Yelena bandaged Han Jiang with the bandage she carried with her, Tang Feng suddenly patted her head and exclaimed, "I know why Genghis Khan fell here in the first place!" ”

"You're saying that the Mongol army suffered the same situation as us?" Han Jiang immediately understood what Tang Feng meant.

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, this can explain why Yelu Chucai's scroll said that Genghis Khan fell from his horse first, and then was attacked by the party members." ”

"Yes...... But what was going on just now? Don't...... Could it be that those lonely souls and wild ghosts who died here have appeared? The timid Liang Yuan said nervously.

"Don't be so superstitious, okay?" Tang Feng reprimanded softly.

"And what do you say is going on?" Liang Yuan was quite unconvinced.

"I want to ...... I think it may have something to do with the special geological formations here! Tang Feng could only say this in general terms.

At this time, Makarov took Tang Feng's words and said: "Tang Feng is right, this Futu Gorge is narrow and long, and it is also winding, it is likely that when the wind blows into the canyon, it produces that terrible sound, and because of the special structure in the canyon, the air flow has a lot of power in the narrow passage, causing flying sand and rocks, the wind roars, and the animals are also frightened!" ”

"Thanks to Han Jiang just now, he didn't get on the camel, otherwise we would definitely be overturned by the camel." Yelena bandaged Han Jiang and asked Han Jiang with a smile, "Are you prescient?" ”

Han Jiang smiled, "I will pinch my fingers to tell fortunes!" Do you want me to do the math for all of you? ”

"Okay, stop kidding, we'll talk about it when we get out! We're not out of danger yet, so what do we do? Liang Yuan said worriedly.

"There's nothing to do, we can't go back, we can only go forward and get out of this canyon!" Han Jiang paused for a moment and said, "Don't ride a camel below, lead the camel away." ”

Everyone nodded, led the camels, and silently continued to move forward.

The Futu Gorge became quiet, except for the footsteps of a few people, no sound could be heard, the canyon was wide and narrow, winding, Tang Feng found traces of water flow on the ground, "It seems that there is water flowing through here." ”

"Geologically speaking, this deep and winding canyon must have been impacted by a powerful external force into its current appearance." Makarov tract.

"You mean water?" Tang Feng was a little surprised.

"It's water, you see the red rocks on both sides of the canyon are actually very fragile, as long as you gently hit it with a hard object, it is easy to collapse." As he spoke, Makarov tapped it casually with the handle of his gun, and sure enough, a small piece of the red rock wall peeled off, "Combined with the powerful impact of the water, it became like this." ”

"A strong current? How strong can it be? ”

"Enough power to slice through an entire mountain!" Makarov said with certainty.

"Ahh......h So there was a stream of water that passed at such a high point? ”

Liang Yuan's words were amused by Tang Feng, "Let me tell you what's going on, many years ago, this huge rock was about the same height as the surrounding sand mountains, but because of the continuous impact of strong flowing water, this canyon became deeper and deeper, so it gradually formed such a deep canyon." ”

"Then if there is a turbulent water ...... now"

Tang Feng understood what Liang Yuan was going to say, glared at her, and Liang Yuan swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Everyone fell silent again, walking and walking, Tang Feng suddenly found that something was wrong with Futu Gorge, what was wrong? Tang Feng looked around, and suddenly found that the originally red rock walls on both sides of them gradually changed, the color of the rock walls became lighter and lighter, and later turned completely white, "Have you noticed the changes in the rock walls?" ”

"It's not just the rock walls that have changed, but the ground beneath our feet has changed."

Everyone followed Han Jiang's gaze and looked forward, and sure enough, not far ahead, the originally solid ground turned into sand, and it was white sand, "What strange sand!" Tang Feng muttered.

"The canyon has also become wider, more than 10 meters wide, which is a width that I have never seen before." Yelena pointed to the rock walls on either side.

"But there seems to be a rock wall in front of you, and you can't see where the canyon leads?" Liang Yuan asked puzzled.

Han Jiang came to the edge of the sand and looked ahead, and he could only see a huge white rock wall at the end of the canyon, but ...... After Han Jiang stopped for a long time, he said, "No, there should be a passage under the rock wall." ”

"Just walk over and take a look!" Tang Feng said, walked forward with one step, and pulled the camel, but when he walked into the white sand, not more than ten steps, he felt that he had encountered something hard under his feet, and when he looked down, in the fine white sand, a white human bone was revealed, no, not just one, but a pile of scattered bones!

Tang Feng was shocked and wanted to retreat, but was surprised to find that he could no longer move his steps, his feet were sinking into the fine white sand step by step, and the camel behind him was also sinking, "Don't go forward, I'm stuck in." ”

Everyone was shocked, and Tang Feng used all his strength in a panic to pull himself out of the white sand, but not only was it useless, but it made him fall deeper and deeper...... Makarov was well-informed, and he shouted from behind: "Don Feng, don't move, this is quicksand, and the more you struggle, the deeper you fall." ”

Han Jiang wanted to step forward to pull Tang Feng, but was grabbed by Makarov, "Don't pull him, otherwise you will also fall into it, just like those white bones." ”

At this time, with the change of sunlight, a ray of sunlight shone into the depths of the canyon, and more and more skeletons appeared from the white quicksand, both human and horse, and some things that were not decayed in saddles and weapons......

Tang Feng and the camel fell deeper and deeper, and Han Jiang also felt that one of his feet was about to sink in, but fortunately, he reacted in time, quickly retreated, and said in horror: "It seems that these white bones are the remains of Genghis Khan's army back then." ”

"Yes, they are stuck in deadly quicksand! Never came out. Makarov said.

At this time, Tang Feng was no longer struggling, but his body was still slowly sinking, and Liang Yuan was so anxious that he cried, "Is there any way...... Hurry up and save Tang Feng......"

Yelena grabbed Liang Yuan tightly, for fear that Liang Yuan would not be able to control her emotions and rush into the quicksand. Makarov shouted at Tang Feng: "Adjust your breathing, slowly climb up, lean forward, and pour your body on the quicksand when your legs come out a little." ”

Tang Feng followed Makarov's instructions, carefully pulled his legs out little by little, and finally poured his body completely on the quicksand, and the time passed minute by minute, until Tang Feng gently pulled his last foot out of the quicksand, and the whole person completely lay on the quicksand, and everyone's hanging hearts fell back.

Looking at the camel again, most of its huge body had sunk into the quicksand, the camel tilted its head, unwillingly looked at the white rock wall in front of the canyon, let out a terrible neigh, exerted all its strength, wanted to jump out of the quicksand, everyone rushed to the ground under their feet was trembling, but no matter how much strength the camel used, in the end everything was in vain.

The other camel also let out a mournful neigh, as if it wanted to rescue its companion, but there was nothing to be done, and in the desperate neighing of the two camels, Liang Yuan's cry was heard, "What should we do?" ”

Makarov remained calm, at least on the outside, and shouted at the crowd: "Give up the camels, unload everything from the camels, and climb onto the quicksand, like Tang Feng!" ”

"Moving forward like a lizard?" The scene of his fight with the sand lizard suddenly flashed in Han Jiang's mind.

"Yes, like a reptile!" Makarov said with certainty.

Yelena and Han Jiang hurriedly unloaded all the things that the camel was carrying, and Makarov pulled Liang Yuan and carefully climbed into the quicksand. Every step had to be very careful, Makarov quickly climbed next to the dying camel, unloaded all the bags on the camel's carry, and then dragged the bag and slowly leaned towards Tang Feng.

The five people crawled on the quicksand with difficulty and slowly, walking between those terrible skeletons, crawling out of Tang Feng, who was more than 100 meters away, and only lowered his head to climb forward, suddenly hit a hard thing, he looked up, and a head emerged from the quicksand and was looking at him with a smile!
