Chapter 2: The Theory of Kunlun Mountain

Liu Changsheng saw that he was young and vigorous, shrewd and capable, helpful, and full of loyalty, so he told him to come to Kunlun Mountain, because he was careless, he fell down the steep cliff, but he didn't expect Kunlun Mountain to be so steep and majestic, breathtaking, sighing.

Lausanne said: "This Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, Kunlun Hill or Jade Mountain, is the central Asian mountain system, but also the backbone of China's western mountain system, west from the east of the Pamir Plateau, China ancient called the Green Ridge, across Xinjiang, Tibet, extended to Qinghai, straight to the northwest of Sichuan Province, the whole journey is 2,500 kilometers, is the ancient folded mountain range, the western section along the southern edge of the Tarim Basin as a northwest-southeast trend. The northeast slope is steep, the southwest is connected with the Karakoram Mountains, the mountain body is tall, there are Gonger Mountain, the height is 7719 meters, the height of Gonger Jiubie Peak is 7595 meters, the height of Mosta Mountain is 7546 meters, and the Mutu Mountain is also 7282 meters high...... There are many peaks, too many to mention, and the glaciers are widely distributed, and in the cultural history of the Chinese nation, it has the prominent position of 'the ancestor of ten thousand mountains'.

"The ancients called Kunlun Mountain, the 'vein of the dragon ancestor' of the descendants of the Chinese Yan and Huang Dynasty, and the 'sect of ten thousand mountains', that is, the 'Dragon Mountain'. In recent years, Chinese geologists have found an area of 10,000 square kilometers of karst landform in Kunlun Mountain, this karst starts from the Monomaha Snow Peak in the east, stops at Yaachigkule Lake in the west, is 350 kilometers long, the width is 20~30 kilometers, the karst zone is mountainous, abrupt and lush, the form is strange, some of the stone pinnacles are like the altar of the gods, some are like a group of elephants, the dragon, the crouching tiger, the image is realistic, lifelike, and there are the dissolution ditches shaped like Yongdao, corridors, long pavilions, its scenery can be comparable with the stone forest of Yunnan, the karst of Guangxi.

"The tall mountain range that traverses the western part of China, from the east of the Pamier Plateau in the west, to the upper valley of the Qaidam River in the east, connects with the Bayankala Mountains and the Anima Qing Mountain (Jishi Mountain) at 97 degrees ~ 99 degrees east longitude, with a total length of more than 2,500 kilometers, the widest point from north to south is 90 degrees east longitude, up to 350 kilometers, and the narrowest point is 150 kilometers near 81 degrees east longitude. Its mountains are magnificent and steep, and the peaks are covered with snow all year round, standing in the south of the Tarim River Basin and the Qaidam Basin. The elevation difference between the northern part of the mountain range and the basin is 3500~4500 meters, and the elevation difference between the southern part and the plateau is 500~1500 meters.

"From around 81 degrees east longitude to the eastern section, it turns to an east-west direction, and is divided into three branches: the northern branch is the Qimantag Mountain, which constitutes the southwest edge of the Qaidam Basin. The middle branch is the Arg Mountains, and the eastern extension is the Burhan Buda Mountains. Bayankala Mountain is the watershed of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. The Yellow River in the north winds in the wide valley, and there are large lakes and marshes at the bottom of the valley, with Zhaling Lake and Ngoring Lake being the largest. Some sections of the main tributaries of the Yangtze River section to the south have been cut out of the canyon. The mountain level of the East Kunlun Mountains is reduced to 5000~6000 meters, and only a few peaks such as Muzi Tag Peak are 7723 meters, exceeding 7000 meters.

"The Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai once had a poem 'If it weren't for the mountains and mountains, I would meet Yaotai under the moon' to express his praise for Kunlun Mountain. **There are also verses in praise of Kunlun Mountain, such as 'Born out of thin air, Mang Kunlun reads all the world**......'. Of course, there are also many myths and legends about Kunlun Mountain, such as Nuwa refining stones to make up the sky, Jingwei reclamation, the West Queen Mother Pan Tao, the White Lady stealing fairy grass, the crane frightening Kunlun, and Chang'e running to the moon and so on. Therefore, Kunlun Mountain is the cradle of ancient mythology in our country, and legend has it that this is the capital of the lower realm of the Emperor of Heaven, and is in charge of the god Lu Wu. This Lu Wu Heavenly God has a strange image, although he has a human face, but he has the body of a tiger, has the claws of a tiger, and has nine tails at the back, this Heavenly God, in charge of the nine parts of the sky and the season of the Heavenly Emperor's Garden.

"There was a wild beast on the mountain, which was shaped like an ordinary sheep, but it had four horns, and it was called a mole, and it could eat people. There is also a kind of bird in the mountain, the shape is like a general bee, its size is about the same as the mandarin duck, it is said to be called Qinyuan, if it stings other birds and beasts, other birds and beasts will die, if it stings trees, trees will also die, if it is a person, it is forbidden to sting its sting, it can be seen that its toxicity is great, it is daunting, so strange and strange, it is not a bird in the world.

"There is another kind of bird in the mountains, called the quail, which is said to be in charge of the various utensils and costumes of the Emperor's daily life. Of course, Kunlun Mountain is the lower garden of the Emperor of Heaven, and there are many strange birds and spirit beasts, which are each responsible for serving the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the West. It is often said that there are several people and other people, and there are several kinds of wood, and there are no mountains, so there is no flat land, although there are so many psychics, it will also be uneven, there are good and bad, good and evil. In addition, there is a kind of tree in the mountain called Shatang, which can be used to avoid water, and if people eat it, they can float without sinking. Most of the grass that grows on the mountain is a strip of grass, and the fruit that bears fruit is like a baby's tongue, and eating it will prevent people from being deceived by evil spirits......"

Liu Changsheng said: "The sand begonia you are talking about, but it has yellow flowers, but it bears red fruits, and it tastes like plums but has no core? Is the grass you said similar to sunflowers, the flowers are red, but the fruits are yellow?"

Luosang said: "I haven't seen it before, I heard what my grandfather said, how do you know?"

Liu Changsheng said: "I'm also hearsay. "In order to prevaricate the past, I secretly thought in my heart, more things are better than less things, there is no need to introduce Kong Xiujuan and his things to him, although I have a relationship with him today, I don't know his situation, and I don't know what his heart thinks. From Luosang's introduction to Shatang and Tiaocao, I think what he said is not false, and I am sure that it is out of Kunlun Mountain, which also shows that Xiujuan is now Kunlun, but where is she now?

He sighed a lot, missed his former lover Kong Xiujuan even more, and was grateful to her for her secret help to him, otherwise, he would not have escaped the entanglement and ravages of the vampire, and now he came to Kunlun Mountain, which is the treasure of the West Queen Mother's residence, is she still beside the West Queen Mother? Can I still see her? Alas! Yin and Yang are far away from each other, only see in dreams, I can't tell you all about lovesickness, I can't finish my love**, I gather in the middle of the night and the dawn is scattered, the incense soul is still in front of me, only empty and sad, and I have to look up to the sky and sigh!

My poor Xiujuan, you left me a heavy love affair, let me dream, broken threads, day and night to read you, now I came to Kunlun Mountain, in order to save my son's wish, I don't know if you are by the side of the Queen Mother of the West, how much do you want to get the moon near the water building, and then I can see you, talk about lovesickness, please help me, can you know the whereabouts of my son, can help me, save my son's life......

Luosang said: "Kunlun Mountain is the cradle of ancient myths and legends in our country, and according to legend, the fairy lord of Kunlun Mountain is the Queen Mother of the West who lives in the cave. Her appearance is the same as that of a human, with a human face, but with the body of a tiger, a mouth full of tiger teeth, and a tail like a leopard, with white spots on the tail, and a penchant for howling, and a jade and golden hairpin on her fluffy hair, which is in charge of heavenly disasters and the five punishments.

"There is also a kind of beast in the mountains, which is shaped like an ordinary dog, but has leopard markings on its body, and has horns on its head, which are similar to the horns of a bull, and its name is cunning, and the sound it makes is that of a dog, and it is an auspicious beast, and if it appears in any country, it will make the country abundant.

"There is an abyss of weak water gathering at the bottom of Kunlun Mountain, and there is a hot volcano outside the abyss, which will burn if you throw something into it...... In the book "The Biography of Mu Tian", there is a legend that "King Mu's eight horses cross the Chishui, and Kunlun Yaochi will meet the queen mother". The said Yao Chi is the black sea at the source of the Kunlun River, where the sea is 4,300 meters, the lake water is clear, the birds are flocked, the wild animals are numerous, each has its own place, each does its own thing, each is good, it is indeed a lofty artistic conception, the fairyland of the world that makes people feel refreshed and forget to return.

"In the Bison Ditch that passes through the Kunlun River, there are precious Bison Gou petroglyphs, which will make tourists breathtaking. Not far from the Black Sea, it is the place where the legendary Jiang Taigong has cultivated the Five Elements Avenue for forty years. Yuxu Peak, Yuzhu Peak is covered with snow all year round, wrapped in silver, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a fairy holding a pipa in her arms and half covering her face, and it is difficult to see her fairy face.

"According to legend, Jade Void Peak is the place where the Jade Emperor's sister Nine Heavens Xuannu lives. Legend has it that the Jade Emperor descended on Kunlun Mountain, see this mountain is majestic and tall, magnificent, shrouded in clouds and mist, the air is magnificent, the scene is thousands, there is a fairy spirit, and it is very close to the heavenly court, it is a holy place for immortals to play, so a Xuanyuan Palace was built on the top of Kunlun Mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West was ordered to manage it full-time.

"Seeing that her brother Jade Emperor was so insatiable, the Nine Heavens Xuannu said that he occupied too many places, not only occupied the heavens, but also took the good places on the earth as his own, and asked for a share of her. The Jade Emperor thought of his brotherhood, so he gave up the Jade Void Peak to her.

"The Nine Heavens Xuannu built a fairy palace for herself on the Jade Peak, and often brought the sisters to play here, playing the piano and drums, dancing to cheer up, sometimes to bathe in the Yao Pond, to the Kunlun Spring to drink and feast...... It is said that those who come to Kunlun Mountain here, people who are destined to hear the sound of the fairy's drum music, that is, the sound of the fairy piano is rare in the world, knocking on the gold and jade is shocking. fluttering to the fairy heart, listening to its song is willing to die.

What's more, the legend is that those who come to Kunlun Mountain here, there are like the Cowherd who saw the Weaver Girl bathing, and there is a scene where the fairy bathed in the Yao Pond. The sound of the warbler and the swallow play play, and the water waves ripple and the joy disappears. In short, Kunlun Mountain is a fairy mountain, there are many rare birds and beasts, full of many legends is not an exaggeration, it is desirable. ”

Liu Changsheng thought of the drama in the legend of the White Snake: The slave official was scared to death at the mouth of the Luowei tent, and his wife only cried blood and tears, in order to save you, I had to go to Kunlun Mountain, and I drew my sword in the way of the white deer boy, and I saw that the enemy was defeated to the mountain pass, thanks to the Nanjizi standing on the clouds, I explained our husband and wife before and after, and he resigned my Ganoderma lucidum grass and turned it back to his hometown...... Ah, there are so many myths and legends about Kunlun Mountain.

Zheng Ming said: "I heard that the spring water used by the Queen Mother of the West to brew the elixir and jade liquid is Kunlun Spring, is this true?"
