A competition of north-south inverted craftsmen who went through hardships and paid countless lives almost ended in a farce.

The fifth master was determined to divide this battle into high and low, and he quickly reached a consensus with the southern team to continue this battle of honor between the north and the south of the country, and the location has been chosen, in the tomb of a Tubo vassal king in the west of Kunlun Mountain. I heard it out of nowhere, as if it was related to the son or grandson of "Songtsen Gampo", so I searched my brain for historical background information about the Tibetan Dynasty.

During the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo was the most famous and outstanding vassal king in the history of the Central V Kingdom, and was the thirty-third generation of the Tibetan "Zampu" (the title of the Tibetan ruler, taking its religious meaning, meaning the name of the strong husband. He was also the founding monarch of the Tibetan Dynasty on the Tibetan Plateau, but he only lived to be thirty-three years old, and like Chai Rong Chai Shizong, he was a lord who died young.

After completing the reunification of Tibet, he took "Zampu" as the center, established a highly centralized rectification and military organization, a complete legal system, laws and regulations, and a taxation system, encouraged the people to learn and apply production technology, developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and rapidly turned Tibet's social economy and the people's material life into a trend of prosperity.

The most praised thing by later generations was that he sent his minister to "Swallow Mi. Sixteen nobles led by Sambuza went to India to study, and finally created the Tibetan language, which belonged to the Tibetan people. And the most amazing thing is. As we all know, he married the beautiful and intelligent "Princess Wencheng". Princess Wencheng, who married Tibet, did a lot of good things to benefit the people on the way to Tibet. makes this pair of talented and beautiful couples a good story that has been praised through the ages.

The tomb of the king of Songtsen Gampo is buried in the "Qiongjie" (southeast of the Tibet Autonomous Region, in the middle of the Shannan region). Between the tombs of the Tibetan dynasties of the Zampu kings, his mausoleum is called "Muri Mubo", which is a well-known situation in the world, so the place we are going to next is definitely not his mausoleum. It could be the mausoleum of his son or grandson.

It is said that Songtsen Gampo had no descendants with Princess Wencheng, and that he had a son with Concubine Meng (also known as Concubine Meng). It is called "Gongri Gongzan", and Gongri Gongzan died before his father, so after the death of Songtsen Gampo Xian, his grandson "Mangsong Mangzan" succeeded Zampu.

But. The historical records handed down from Tibet are confusing. Songtsen Gampo's son "Gongri Gongzan" also called him "Gongri Gongzan", there is no clear record of his birth year, the only recorded "Lineage Mingjian", now and Songtsen Gampo's historical data are inferred together, and the results are very different. But it is clearly recorded that Gongri Gongzan married the daughter of the "King of Tuyuhun" and gave birth to Mangsong Mangzan. Gongri Gongtsen died at the age of about 19 and his royal tomb is buried in the tomb of the Tibetan king. It is one of the nine recognizable tombs of the Tibetan kings, so our next destination. It shouldn't be his mausoleum.

Mangsong Mangzan was also a lord who did not live to be more than 20 years old, and he succeeded to the throne at an early age. Dongzan Yusong ("Lu Dongzan" in Chinese literature) was an auxiliary government and completely became a decorative vassal king. Lu Dongzan is an ambitious and ruthless character, he does not want to seize the throne of Tibet, but is bent on expanding the territory of Tibet, he first crusades against Tuyuhun's ally Bailan, turning it into a vassal state, and then directs the spearhead at Tuyuhun, and finally captures the land of Tuyuhun, in which he assists the puppet king. After the death of Lu Dongzan in 667, Mangsong Mangzan became pro-government. During his pro-government period, he reused the son of Lu Dongzan as the prime minister, attacked the Tang Dynasty and seized the Tarim Basin of the Tang Dynasty, causing "Khotan" to surrender to Tibet, and then rushed to clean up the famous Tang Dynasty general "Xue Rengui", which was finally defeated, and was forced to make peace and withdraw his troops. A few years later, when the Tibetans invaded the territory of present-day Qinghai, Mangsong Mangzan died.

Later, a slave uprising broke out in Tibet, and the tombs of the Tubo kings were excavated in successive dynasties, but because the tombs of Mangsong Mangzan were divided by Niwa, they were not excavated and were completely preserved. Legend has it that it is filled with all kinds of treasures, called the "Oshebo Tomb".

These royal tombs of Songtsen Gampo and his sons and grandsons have clear historical records, and they cannot appear in the middle of this Kunlun Mountain.

So, I thought about it again in my head, and I thought of a wild historical record. It is said that when Songtsen Gampo was young, there was an eldest brother "Datsan Gampo", who died of illness less than a year after he was born. However, the so-called no wind and no waves, chasing the wind and catching shadows are all delusional and delusional, since there is this wild history gossip, it has been proved that there is indeed this person, or someone will not create a character out of thin air for no reason. Moreover, he is neither a sage nor an immortal, and the common people will not be interested in breaking out a dead baby without a zài for no reason, which shows that this person is likely to be a real person.

Therefore, no matter who the Southern Expeditionary Team originally envisioned the owner of the tomb of the vassal king, I would consider the next thing according to the ideas I had sorted out.

The merged and reorganized Western Expedition team got along very well, and the fat man got along with each other like a family, very close.

The leader of the southern expedition to the west was a short man in his forties surnamed Chen, who took his son to the west, his son's name was Chen Dong, a rare tall man among southerners, about the same height as a fat man, but with a thin body, looking like a thin bamboo pole, and his skin was as black as an African. If it gets dark, you probably won't be able to see him, unless he laughs, you can see a pair of white teeth floating in the air in the dark, and you don't know what kind of ghost you think.

The large army of the North-South Fusion rested for a day, and the next morning, it began to continue its advance towards the western part of the Kunlun Mountains. Before leaving, I approached an older sister in the Nanxi expedition who managed logistics chores and asked her if she had any sanitary napkins for girls, and if she could give me a pack. The eldest sister in her forties looked at me as if she had seen a metamorphosis, and she didn't answer for a long time.

I knew that the other party must have misunderstood, so I restrained my usual smiling face and explained in a stern tone: "Sister, don't get me wrong, I'm not a pervert, I want sanitary napkins for another purpose." At the moment, we are not about to cross the desert into the frozen area, and the long journey makes my feet sweaty, so I want to put a sanitary napkin inside the shoes to absorb sweat, so that the shoes do not get soaked with sweat and cause my feet to be frostbitten in the frozen ground. ”

After listening to me, the eldest sister of logistics laughed out loud, and said to me a little embarrassed: "Big brother, I misunderstood you, but I really don't have sanitary napkins here." But we have another thing, and our team wears it in their shoes and goes into the ice. After saying that, he handed me a big bag of things very warmly.

I took it and looked at it, it turned out to be a big pack of baby diapers, and I immediately thanked the eldest sister with joy and said: "It's great to have this thing, the sweat-absorbing effect of diapers is better, thank you eldest sister." ”

The eldest sister of logistics smiled and waved at me, and I said goodbye with a thousand thanks and returned to my team.

The Kunlun Mountains span most of the western part of the Central V country, and the geology changes from east to west from a temperate desert to a desert plateau, followed by perennial ice and snow mountains, and extremely cold places. The further west you go, the more precipitation you get, the higher the terrain is, and the more permafrost you get, and because of the abundance of precipitation, the vegetation is abundant, mostly spruce-fir, cypress pine, low shrubs and bryophytes.

A long army of north-south-west expeditions, the establishment of two or two people, (in the ancient army of our country, five people were one army, five soldiers were one tael, five taels were one pawn, five pawns were one brigade, five brigades were one division, and five divisions were one army.) The establishment of two pairs is fifty. The social unit of the common people class is "ratio", and the five households are one ratio. After three days of traveling, a large caravan of horses and camels finally set foot on the frozen terrain of the frozen land.

The Kunlun Mountains in the west are full of towering and cold cliff peaks, with an average altitude of more than 4,500-5,000 meters, and are sparsely grown alpine vegetation cold weathering land, as well as alpine ice and snow belts. The expedition marched through the desert plateau, and at noon, stepped into a vast white snow world, dotted only with dry yellow frozen soil and gray-black rocks. The alpine ice and snow area, surrounded by towering and frozen peaks, just put on heavy winter clothing for the members of the North-South and West-West Expedition Team, a frozen canyon appeared in front of them.

The canyon seems to be covered with ice and snow all year round, deep and meandering, and the steep rocks are full of frost ice picks, quietly telling the ancient frozen silence.

Not long after stepping into the narrow snow valley, suddenly, the camel caravan at the front of the team suddenly became restless, and a loose horse jumped forward with a roar, so startled that I subconsciously grasped the reins in my hand to prevent the horses around me from being frightened. Because I had to take care of the injured Tianyu riding on horseback, I walked to the camel team at the forefront of the Western Expedition team, and the five masters and others were marching at the back of the team.

The frightened horses rushed out of the caravan and galloped forward frantically, but the incident happened suddenly, and the people around them did not react for a while. A moment later, I was surrounded by horses chasing the stray horses.

The canyon was cold and narrow, very silent, and I didn't know why the horses were suddenly frightened, and I just wanted to stop and look around. Suddenly, I felt a sound like thunder explode in my ears, and then my eyes went black, and I lost consciousness in an instant.

It was only a few seconds before I shook my buzzing head and first checked the rain on horseback, and she seemed to have fainted. I hurriedly lifted her from her horse, and found her eyes closed, her brow slightly furrowed, and her expression as if she were in great pain.

I couldn't help but be very worried, Tianyu's current state seemed to be really inappropriate! (To be continued......)
