Chapter 19 A Trip to Changbai Mountain
After resting for another two or three days, Su Ming prepared a lot of things, then said goodbye to everyone and embarked on a solo journey again. When I got out of the township, I found a random mountain range and walked up. The large and small peaks here are all part of the Changbai Mountains, and if you follow the mountain, you can go to the depths of the mountain range.
The mountain road was rugged, and there were even no roads in some places, but Su Ming had already prepared, relying on ropes and spears, and most places could be climbed. Even though it's summer, you don't feel it at all in the mountains. During the day, there is a cool breeze, and at night the temperature is only a few degrees. As Su Ming went deeper into the mountains step by step, it became more and more dangerous.
Even in later generations, it is still very dangerous in the real deep mountains and old forests, not to mention that in this era, it is far from being developed by humans. In the mountains and forests, there are countless animals. Especially in the woods and grass, long snakes can often be seen wandering around. Some of these snakes have flat heads, some are triangular, some are colorful, and some are black and white, which is highly venomous at a glance.
Su Ming had a spear in his hand, constantly moving it back and forth, left and right, which was exactly what the saying goes, scaring the snake and scaring the snake away. Every step is taken carefully, the senses are opened to the maximum, the cold hairs on the whole body stand up, and the pores are locked. Several times, there were snakes attacking, but Su Ming had a spear in his hand, and he was killed with one shot.
In the beginning, I still ate the food I brought, but later, I could only hunt in the mountains or eat some fruits of my knowledge. The mountains are rich in species, and Su Ming, with his strong explosive power, has also hit a lot of food, such as rabbits, roe deer, raccoon dogs and wolves. As for the water source, take the stream water in the mountain and drink it in one gulp, which is cool and sweet, and the whole body is comfortable.
The hardest thing is at night, in the middle of the night, there are many beasts that come out to forage under the cover of darkness. Not to mention the large carnivorous beasts such as wild wolves that are hordes and discolored, or the long insects and poisonous snakes that often haunt the grass and trees, which are slippery and cold, are enough to make people have to be careful.
So at night, Su Ming hurriedly hid, sometimes sleeping in a tree, sometimes finding a cave. Sprinkle some realgar and make some safety arrangements before you can go to sleep.
The silence, silence and walking of a person made Su Ming's heart fly into the world again. While walking silently, Su Ming sometimes closed his eyes, and could even hear the sound of blood circulating throughout his body in his blood vessels under the action of his heart.
With every step of walking, Su Ming was unconsciously practicing the essentials of Bajiquan's exercises, and realized the true meaning of every move and style.
He felt that his body and mind were like a rough piece of jade, and this walk was like a process of polishing and carving and driving away impurities, so that his body and soul gradually revealed a pure, flawless, clear and crystalline brilliance.
In the process of walking, he felt more and more comfortable, without the slightest feeling of fatigue and pain. With small animals, plants and fruits in the mountains as food, and mountain springs and streams as water sources, his body became stronger and his spirit became more calm. The whole person's body and mind seem to be integrated into this mountain, this world, extremely relaxed and comfortable.
In a place that has not yet been touched by modern humans, he has seen many legendary wild creatures. There are groups of wild wolves, herds of wild boars, mountain leopards that come and go like electricity, all kinds of poisonous snakes, and even Siberian tigers and big brown bears standing at the top of the food chain of this forest, which are often hundreds of catties or even nearly a thousand catties. Under that majesty, Su Ming saw it, and he quickly hid, not daring to make a sound.
The Siberian tiger is undoubtedly the invincible king of speed, strength and skill in this mountain forest. Although the big brown bear is slower, its strength is probably still above that of the Siberian tiger.
If his strength is superb, even if he doesn't have a big gun in his hand, Su Ming will dare to go head-to-head with these two beast kings one-on-one. However, now that I have just entered the darkness, I am afraid that I will not die too quickly with these two wild ** fronts.
Su Ming once confronted a mountain leopard by chance. Moments later, the leopard suddenly ran away. Su Ming hurriedly climbed a big tree, and then saw a brown bear walking slowly over, its body like a hill. This huge creature, even a mountain leopard, has to be shunned.
On this pristine and unpolluted mountain, Su Ming was able to observe many animals up close, and these animals had all kinds of incredible help for his boxing skills.
In the body of Bajiquan, there is a saying of "ten forms and meanings", which refers to ten kinds of animals: dragons, tigers, bears, apes, snakes, chickens, deer, peng, cranes, and ostriches. Among them, the tiger and the bear are the two animals that are the most difficult to experience and the most difficult to see. This time, Su Ming really saw the invincible majesty and momentum of the Siberian tiger and the big brown bear. Every move, form and divine will, all fell into my mind. I also saw many species of birds, such as black cranes, white cranes, and swans. The eagle and so on, also have a lot of understanding of the divine will of Peng and the crane.
Su Ming was cautious all the way, but he didn't encounter any great danger. All the way up, after walking for a full month, I finally stepped on the legendary and extremely mysterious Changbai Mountain Tianchi.
Changbai Mountain has many mysterious legends since ancient times, and it is even rumored to be the birthplace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the location of the dragon vein. Among them, Changbai Mountain Tianchi, and more mysterious characteristics, there is a legend of the dragon in ancient times, even in modern times, it is rumored that there are water monsters.
When Su Ming arrived at Tianchi, it was summer and August, and you could see white clouds and peaks around. The water of Tianchi Lake is clear and turquoise, and it is as flat as a realm. The surrounding mountains reflect the reflection of the lake, and the sparkling shadows of the mountains are magnificent. In the sky above Tianchi, the flowing clouds and fog are unpredictable, sometimes the clouds and mist are elegant, and the drizzle is misty; Sometimes the clouds and fog converge, and the sky is clear.
Tianchi is lonely in the sky, there is no water inlet, only water outlet, and the lake water flows out all year round, making people feel mysterious. Therefore, according to legend, there is a "dragon" lurking in the pool, and the water of the heavenly pond that flows endlessly is the water spit out by the dragon. Therefore, Tianchi is also called Longtan, and Tianchi water is enshrined as holy water.
In addition, Tianchi is also known as "Dragon Pond" and "Sea Eye", and it is rumored that there are dragons or other mythical beasts in it.
There are as many as 16 peaks in Changbai Mountain with an altitude of more than 2,500 meters. Where the Tianchi is located is the highest peak, Baiyun Peak.
Su Ming feasted on the scenery of Tianchi and drank the holy water of Tianchi, only to feel that his mouth was cold and sweet. After walking a short distance, we reached the peak of Baiyun Peak, which is also the highest peak in the entire eastern Liaodong region.
Standing on the top of the mountain, looking up at the sky, it seems to be close at hand, surrounded by clouds and mist. Leaning down and looking down, the line of sight seems to be able to reach thousands of miles, and there is a kind of heroic spirit of climbing the mountain to the top of the peak. All of a sudden, heaven and earth, mountains, everything, seemed to be in my heart. Man and the whole world are fused together.
After climbing to the top of the white clouds and seeing the Tianchi Holy Lake, Su Ming turned around and went down the mountain again. The way down the mountain is also rugged and bumpy, and the thrills are continuous.
Changbai Mountain is a veritable treasure house of animals and plants, especially in this era, the huge Changbai Mountain has not been set foot by many people. Whether it's the best Northeast wild ginseng, or the legendary "flying dragon meat", or even tiger bones and bear bile, as long as you have the ability, you can find it.
As the saying goes, "Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the earth." "Actually, the dragon meat in this is the flying dragon meat. The so-called flying dragon, also called hazel chicken, but it is a rare treasure in the mountains, only in the Changbai Mountain in the northeast area, the big and small Xing'an Mountains have survived, since ancient times, it is the treasure of paying tribute to the royal family outside the Guan, the taste is delicious, incomparable, and extremely nutritious. In later generations, wild hazelcocks almost disappeared, so few that they could only be seen in state banquets.
Su Ming was in Changbai Mountain this time, but he caught a lot of hazelnut chickens. After shaving and removing the internal organs, it is grilled on a fire, and the meat is tender and delicious. When swallowed into the abdomen, you can even feel it turn into a stream of heat, reaching all the veins of your limbs.
The most thrilling time was when Su Ming saw a Siberian tiger and a big brown bear fighting like crazy from a distance. The Siberian tiger was more than three meters long and weighed more than 300 kilograms. The brown bear is also rare and large, with a body length of nearly three meters and a weight of eight or nine hundred catties.
This tiger and bear fight is so exciting! The speed, strength, and skill of the tiger are perfectly combined. Although the big brown bear looks bulky, even the tiger can't stand it when it goes down. However, the tiger is very responsive and can always pounce on the big brown bear from behind, bite a few bites, and run away.
This battle between the two most ferocious creatures at the top of the food chain in Changbai Mountain made Su Ming's heart thrilled. The charm of the tiger and the bear, unconsciously, is deeply imprinted in the bottom of my heart.
When Su Ming was in his later life, he saw many people on the Internet arguing about which tiger or bear was more powerful, so he consulted a lot of information. The Siberian tiger is the invincible king in this area. Even brown bears are part of their diet. However, female and juvenile brown bears account for the majority of brown bears hunted by Siberian tigers. There are also examples of Siberian tigers killed by brown bears, but most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled Siberian tigers. Almost no one has ever seen an adult male Siberian tiger and an adult male brown bear face off.
This tiger and bear battle lasted for several hours. In the end, the Siberian tiger killed the big brown bear and seriously injured himself. At this time, Su Ming, who had been in ambush on the side for a long time, suddenly rushed out. Unexpectedly, the seriously injured tiger had difficulty moving, and was stabbed by Su Ming with a few holes in his body, and died of excessive blood loss.
A tiger and a bear are dead, but Su Ming has picked up a big bargain. The blood, flesh, bones, and skin of the Siberian tiger, and the bear bile and paws of the brown bear, are all extremely nourishing food. In addition, the hazel chicken caught and the wild ginseng picked. Under the nourishment, Su Ming's body became more and more robust during the two months in Changbai Mountain, his qi and blood were surging, and he was full of energy, and even his boxing skills were greatly improved.
