Chapter 8: Arrival
We have prepared a lot of things in the middle, this Kunlun Mountain has glaciers, there are canyons, in addition to some of the tools we prepared before, what mountaineering shoes, mountaineering bags, trekking poles, oxygen cylinders, compasses, figure-eight rings, mountaineering and the like are essential, if there can be any laser rangefinder and transmitter and the like, it will be perfect, then you can catch up with the technical mountaineering level.

The reason why we are preparing these things is also because we are completely unsure whether we will go straight to the gate of hell in Nakunlun Mountain, or if we will pass through some peaks, and this Kunlun Mountain's perennial ice and snow conditions must be taken into account.
In addition, when we were preparing these tools, the master was also preparing his own things, and on the middle day, when the master went out, he went out with his halberd, and when he came back, it turned into a complete halberd.
When the master took out his halberd, I found out that the master went out today to find the halberd handle, only to see that he inserted the halberd in front of us, the halberd handle was only about a foot at the beginning, so it was not very obvious that the master put it on his back, and it was impossible to see what was different about his halberd when wrapped in a black cloth, just like carrying a shovel on his back.
But we found that the master melted a steel pipe on the head of the halberd, and the quality of this steel pipe seems to be not ordinary, at least it is also made of pure steel, and when he put his hand in the middle of the steel pipe, the steel pipe seemed to have some button or mechanism, and it stretched out from the one-foot steel pipe alive, which was more than two meters long.
I didn't expect Xiao Ye to directly turn this halberd into a modern one-eared square sky painting halberd, now I have already thought of a good name for the master of this halberd, just call it "Yang Steel Telescopic Tianlong Single Ear Square Heaven Painting Halberd", although the name is longer, but it also just fits its characteristics, after all, this halberd head is an ancient divine weapon, this halberd handle is the fusion of modern science and technology, stretchable and retractable.
Of course, the function of this telescopic is to reduce a certain amount of trouble for the master, you think about it, if you walk on the street with a halberd higher than yourself, where is there any normal eye to look at you, you can shorten the halberd on the back, that is great, and when using the halberd handle gently press, it can be stretched to more than two meters long, not to mention, and very practical, why not?
Now the master can be regarded as finding his own handy weapon, only to see that the master pressed the halberd handle again, and instantly retracted it, only the length of a shovel, and then put it on his back again.
The things we needed were almost ready, and after we had greeted the crow and Mrs. Chen, we were about to set off for Kunlun Mountain.
We first arrived in Xining City, Qinghai Province, and then transferred to the Qinghai-Tibet train, along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, all the way to Lhasa, on the way through the Qinghai Lake Landscape Belt, Kunlun Mountain Landscape Belt and other areas, after passing through Golmud, soon saw the Kunlun Mountain Landscape Belt, and this Kunlun Mountain Death Valley is out of the Kunlun Mountain Landscape Belt.
On this train, I also explained to my father why this Kunlun Mountain Death Valley is also called the Gate of Hell, although they all looked out the window all the way, as if there was something in their hearts, but I also wanted to relieve the depressed atmosphere.
Fortunately, Abu was also bored, and he was able to turn his head and listen to me talk about this, and I found that since Tianming died, this Abu actually had some characteristics of Tianming, and he also liked to read, and at the same time he would ask questions when he heard us talk about something, although his big temper still did not change, but it did add some advantages.
Abu was obviously relieved of Tianming's affairs, and as I spoke, he asked, "Ji Ming, if they don't listen, you can tell me about it!" Let me also feel the joy of learning knowledge. ”
I happily explained: "According to legend, the shepherds living in the Kunlun Mountains would rather have no forage to feed the cattle and sheep than enter the valley of death where the grass is lush in the Kunlun Mountains, so even if the cattle and sheep are all starving to death, they will not touch the grass in the valley of death, because this valley of death is full of wolf fur, bear bones, and hunters' steel guns, which is so terrifying that no one dares to enter it." ”
When Abu heard this, he replied, "Oh! "I can hear the indifference and casualness in this 'oh' word, which is completely for the purpose of perfunctory explanation I just made, which really makes me feel like I'm in the sky for a while, and underground for a while.
I thought to myself, "Listen to me, won't my conscience hurt in this way?" ”
But I just said lightly: "Brother Abu, what about happiness, can't you give some other reply?" I'm going to tell you about it. ”
Abu smirked again, "I've got a good ear, silly boy." ”
"Okay." I was speechless.
At this time, my father turned his head from the window and sneered at me: "Ji Ming, Abu has already given you face, if you are someone else, the birds will not bird you, you really think that we don't know this valley of death, and use you to teach us knowledge, this Kunlun Mountain, we know more than you." ”
I suddenly felt my father's deep malice, it turned out that they had been letting me talk nonsense here, in fact, I knew it very well, but I also replied to me, how to look out the window as if I didn't hear anything, only let me talk so much here.
My father took a sip of water and said to me: "This valley of death is a minefield, this god will chop you to death there if you don't agree, and the surrounding basalt has a magnetic field, the more we go inside, the stronger this magnetic field will be, so ah, don't expect this compass to come in handy when the time comes, before this people who entered the valley of death risked their lives to enter, the dead died, the wounded, not many came out." ”
In order to save a little face, I said: "Hehe, Dad, I'm afraid this thunder is not released by God, you said that there is a magnetic field around, these thunders are actually under the electromagnetic effect, and the discharge generated by the electric charge in the clouds, it is just a general natural phenomenon, but this magnetic field is too abnormal, so this valley of death will become a minefield, how about it, I don't understand, right?" After saying that, I also turned my face to the side and said, whose father would hurt his son like this, then I am not polite and hurt each other.
My father also had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, you can be knowledgeable, it's just that the minefield is specialized in fighting this animal, you should be more restrained then." ”
"Hey, why are you two still arguing?" The second uncle laughed.
I didn't continue to speak, and my dad replied with a bad face: "It's okay, it's okay, it's rare to make a noise." "Dare to love is really biological.
After some laughter, we fell into silence again, but I saw that the young master's eyes were a little uncertain, looking at the Kunlun Mountain landscape outside the window with a melancholy face, as if there was some sad past in this Kunlun Mountain, and his hand kept stroking back and forth on his shortened Tianlong monoear halberd.
After a while, my father and I, and my second uncle, Abu, yawned, and had to fall asleep on the chair, but at this time, the master was still looking out the window.
When we woke up, the master had already put the halberd back on his back, and said expressionlessly: "It's here." ”
I was surprised and asked, "That's it?" And I found out that we were still in Qinghai.
The second uncle replied: "It seems to have arrived, so let's get out of the car." ”
I asked, "What about next?" ”
I saw a lot of sheep outside the car window, and a few herdsmen were watching around.
At this time, the second uncle looked out the window and said, "We have to go through the Arar Ranch to enter the valley of death." ”
When I looked out the window, I could only see the snow-capped summits, and I wondered how far the valley of death was from us.
