Kunlun Mountain. Between Xinjiang and Tibet, it is bordered by the Pamir Plateau in the west and Qinghai in the east. It is extremely high, with many snow-capped peaks and glaciers. The highest peak is 7719 meters. Ancient myths and legends say that there are fairyland places such as Yaochi, Langyuan, Zengcheng and County Garden on Kunlun Mountain.

On the left side of the mountain are the Tianshan Mountains, the Qilian Mountains, and the Yinshan Mountains. There are Altai Mountains in the north, Helan Mountain, Great and Small Xing'an Mountains, Changbai Mountain, and Tanggula Mountain, Himalayas, Hengduan Mountain and other mountains on the right side of Kunlun Mountain.

This was my initial homework before I set off for Kunlun, many of which have been known for a long time but have never been seen before.

After hesitating for a long time, he still dialed Jian Ningyi's phone. Her number was left to me the last time before leaving, thinking that she might not bother them anymore, and she would definitely not call it, but the world is impermanent, and the first moment does not know the next moment. Just as I used to have dream warnings and prophetic promptings, now I only have occasional hunches.

Calculate the time, if Jian Ningyi really went to Dian Island with Zhuang Yu, he should still be on the vast sea at this time. Sure enough, when the mobile phone was connected, they asked that it would take about a month for them to arrive on Dian Island. My main purpose is to find Zhuang Yu, the trip to Kunlun is like a trip to the desert, the risk is too great, it is impossible for one person to defeat a snow-capped mountain, I need to seek his help.

After listening to my request, Zhuang Yu was silent for a moment, and asked me to give him the exact address after I arrived in Tibet, and someone he arranged would come to him at that time. At that time, I set off after getting off and set off, it was a long journey, I was in Yunnan, one in the south and one in the northwest, crossing the boundary from the flat land to the plateau. This is still second, mainly along the road, I bought a map to check, and searched for books and materials, and learned that Kunlun Mountain is in Qinghai, and the mountains of Qinghai belong to the Kunlun Mountains, so if there are so many mountains, which mountain will Sheng Shiyao be in?

My initial goal was to go to Golmud first, which was still 160 kilometers to the Kunlun Pass, and I planned to wait for the people arranged by Zhuang Yu there. Among the many mountain ranges, I judge that Yuxu Peak and Yuzhu Peak are the most likely points, and the two are sister peaks, in the middle of the mountain, on the west side of the Kunlun Pass. Yuxu Peak is seated in the mountains, standing on the cloud table, and it is said that it is the place where the Jade Emperor's sister Yuxu Goddess lives, so it is named.

Golmud actually has an airport, but I still chose to take the train, because people who grew up in the south can't adapt to the highland environment in a short time. Even so, after entering the area, I also felt the air thinning and had a slight altitude sickness.

For most people, Golmud is just a stopover to Lhasa or Dunhuang, and few people come for it like I did. When I arrived, it was only five o'clock in the morning, and as soon as I got off the train, I immediately felt the cold of the great northwest, so I buttoned the hat of my jacket on my head, pulled the zipper to the top, stayed at the train station until seven o'clock, and then went to find the hostel I had booked before.

At present, there are only two youth hostels in Golmud, one is the more famous Bart Youth Hostel, I booked the Alabala Youth Hostel, which is close to the train station, and it is a quick walk away. This hostel is in the gardener's second community, a residential building, there are only two quadruple rooms and a six-person room, I asked for a quadruple room alone. It's not that I don't have the money to live in a good hotel, but when I live to my job, I don't seem to care too much about the external material life, just a quiet and convenient.

Another reason is that the people who come to live in this kind of youth hostel are all travelers from all over the world, and I can hear some information about Kunlun Mountain from their mouths. After paying the deposit, I stayed and waited for the person arranged by Zhuang Yu.

It was overheard that the boss was complaining to the people next to him that the business was too bad in the off-season, and I realized that the time had unconsciously slipped into November.

Zhuang Yu said that he had found a total of five people for me, and on the fourth day in Golmud, I waited for the first person, and I was surprised that it was a woman. At that time, I was sitting at the table downstairs, asking the boss for boiling water, drinking one by one, thinking to myself.

"Excuse me, are you Cheng Xiao?" A calm voice came overhead.

When I raised my head to see the other person's appearance, I was slightly stunned, it was a girl of medium stature, wrapped in a snow suit, which looked a little bulky. Before I frowned and wondered, she introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Yanan, and Mr. Zhuang hired me to come to you. ”

It took half a beat to come back to her senses and point to the seat next to her and ask her to take a seat. In the next three days, three more people came, two men and one woman, and the room in my four-person room changed from single to three-inhabited. Except for Yanan, the other three all said that they were called by their boss, but the "boss" did not appear for a long time, and waited until another morning, when I finally saw another person enter the threshold of the hostel, and I was stunned.

"Cheng Xiao, we meet again."

The person who came turned out to be Xiao Mo, and Zhuang Yu looked for him again! I really want to cry without tears.

"Aren't you a sand walker? How did you come to this snowy mountain? I asked, frowning. Xiao Mo just raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't there a desert around here?" Are you only in that area when I am? When Mr. Zhuang called, I happened to be running errands nearby, so I arranged for someone to come over first. ”

It seems that I asked a stupid question, Golmud used to be Dunhuang, and even this city is known as a desert city. So they're familiar with the terrain of the area? No wonder Zhuang Yu is still looking for them.

After many days, he couldn't find the sad and rampant side of Xiao Mo's calm face, and he changed back to his elegant demeanor, and when the three of them called him the boss, they also pulled the corners of their mouths to show that they were very bossy. This time he didn't have to disguise any archaeological team, he seemed to be at ease, he was in control as soon as he came, and called all of us to the room for a small meeting.

A manuscript map he had taken out of his bosom looked shoddy, but it was much better than the one I had bought from outside. Many mountain points are marked one by one, and where there is a road to climb, they are marked. I told him my goal, and I quickly made a decision and set a route.

Now that all the staff had arrived, we set off in the afternoon, chartered a local van, which was introduced by the owner of the hostel, and drove straight to the mountain pass in the name of tourism. Everyone carried a huge bag that basically contained everything they needed to survive.

I pondered one thing on the way there, Xiao Mo is a group of bodyguards of the nature of mercenaries, his ability has been seen in the previous desert trip, three of the five people came with him, so what is the ability of the remaining Yanan? Why was she chosen by Zhuang Yu to help me? At first I thought she was a local and might be familiar with the snowy mountains, but she had been silent since she came, almost invisible, except on the first day she asked to share a room with me.

All the way in the car, I didn't see her open her mouth, and I only heard Xiao Mo's three subordinates chatting with the driver who was driving. I sat by the window in the last row, looked out the window for a long time, then turned my gaze, looked around, and suddenly my whole body froze.

This combination ...... It's like the five of us back then! Yanan is like me, in an unfamiliar environment and doesn't like to talk; Xiao Mo is like Sheng Shiyao, calm and measured; And the two men and one woman are like the three people who once were. Once again, I couldn't control the throbbing pain in my heart, I didn't feel sad if I didn't think about it, and I couldn't suppress the sourness of my nose when I thought about it together. Zhou Tong, Liuzi, Liu Yue...... The names of the three rolled in my heart, and I couldn't even ask them how they were in heaven. Because of their end, I already know.

The van drove us to a place where we could no longer enter, stopped, and then had to walk on our feet. With heavy bags on their backs and a demeanor, Xiao Mo took the lead, and everyone marched to the mountains step by step.

We did not take the scenic spot, but took a detour, and the first thing we had to climb was the Jade Pearl Peak, which is in the eastern section of Kunlun Mountain. Also known as the Keke Saijimen Peak, the altitude is more than 6,000 meters, it is the highest peak in the eastern section of Kunlun, and the Yuxu Peak is more than 20 kilometers away.

For the first two days, the sky was clear, and although the air was thinner, suddenly there was a strong wind, and the wind and snow were combined, and we were already in the hinterland of Yuzhu Peak. It doesn't matter if the view is blocked, we just need to bury our heads and keep an eye on the people in front of us, so that no one is left behind. In the end, Yanan, who had been silent, shouted behind her, asking everyone to stop, and we looked back to see her pointing somewhere and gesticulating.

I followed the direction of her finger, and soon I understood what she meant, it was a col, and she motioned for us to go there and take shelter from the snow. Xiao Mo and the others all looked at me, because I was the protector of their mission this time, and under normal circumstances, the decision was up to me. After a moment's hesitation, I nodded, and took the lead in striding towards the col.

I'm going to find someone, not to fight hard. There has been a precedent of heavy casualties in the desert walk, and I don't want anyone to die for me. A snowy mountain storm is no safer than a desert storm, and if it loosens somewhere, it can cause an avalanche. When we entered the col, the wind had subsided and the snow could not fall, so we chose a place to sit down and began to rest. This is already halfway up the Yuzhu Peak, which means that we are at an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.

They each ate to replenish their energy, and no one spoke. Maybe the rest of us thought the same thing, saved the strength to speak, and when the snow stopped, it would be a more difficult journey. The snow goggles were tied very tightly, and I wanted to take them off to make them wider, but I heard Xiao Mo next to me say: "You'd better not take them off, otherwise you won't want to go again if you're blind." When he heard this, he put down his hand, and had heard of the incident of the human eye being blinded by the white light of the snow, and it was said that especially in the sun, the snow was dazzling enough to burn the eyes.

Mr. Kitajima said: The range of a person's walk is his world. I put my feet on the ground, walked through thousands of mountains and rivers here, it is my lonely world, I just want to say: Sheng Shiyao, I am thinking about you, I can't live without you......

Many people should be familiar with the name of Golmud, because of a certain story, because of a certain book, because of a certain person. And the beautiful Hoh Xil is a place that many people yearn for. It is often said that she has a dream about Hoh Xili in her heart, do you have it?
