Chapter 151: A New Journey

A month later, Brother Pan helped prepare a lot of equipment and food, and all the things we were going to bring when we went out this time were all ready, just like that, under the farewell of Brother Pan Zige, Uncle Wang, and the third uncle, Qin Yujie, Lei Zi, as well as the lone wolf and spirit bones, several people went to Kunlun Mountain.

Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, China's first sacred mountain, the mountain of ten thousand ancestors, Kunlun Hill or Jade Mountain, is a large mountain system in central Asia and the backbone of the mountain system in western China.

From the east of the Pamir Plateau in the west, the whole mountain range traverses Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to Qinghai, with a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, an average altitude of 5,500-6,000 meters, a width of 130-200 kilometers, and a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers in the west and a wide east width.

The highest peak of the Kunlun Mountains is the Gonger Peak located in Wuqia County, Kizilsu Kirgiz Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang.

In ancient times, the Yao Chi mentioned in myths and legends is the Black Sea at the source of the Kunlun River, where the altitude is 4,300 meters, the lake water is very clear, birds and birds flock together, and there are many wild animals infested, a thousand weather.

In the Kunlun River through the bison ditch, there are also precious bison ditch petroglyphs, Yuxu Peak, Yuzhu Peak after years of silver, the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.

Kunlun Spring located on the north bank of the Kunlun River, is the largest non-freezing spring in the Kunlun Mountains, forming the Kunlun June Snow Wonder, dozens of meters deep natural danger wonders, the northern slope of the Kunlun Mountains is on the verge of the driest Asian continent center, belongs to the warm temperate Tarim Desert and Qaidam Desert.

The annual precipitation increases slightly with the increase of mountain altitude, and the warm temperate desert is replaced by the alpine desert, which is composed of the unique cushion-shaped camel hair quinoa and the Tibetan chrysanthemum, which originates from the rivers on the northern slope of the Kunlun Mountains, has a long history, and flows in the water system of the Tarim Basin and the Qaidam Basin.

Mount Kunlun has a prominent position of "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation, the ancients called Mount Kunlun as the "ancestor of the dragon vein" of China, and many of the myths and legends handed down in ancient China are related to Mount Kunlun, which is considered to be the birthplace of the Chinese nation.

However, Mount Kunlun is not the "Mount Kunlun" mentioned in many myths, but the Kunlun Mountains. The mythical Kunlun Mountain is the "Kunlun Immortal Mountain" that exists in reality.

In ancient mythology, it is believed that there is a fairy "Queen Mother of the West" living in Kunlun Mountain, and the legend says that the Queen Mother of the West lives on the top of Kunlun Mountain, is a Taoist god, with a human head and a leopard body, and a tail, served by two blue birds, and the East Princes are in charge of the matter of cultivating immortals for men and women.

Mount Kunlun, also considered by the ancient Chinese to be the edge of this world, coupled with the year-round snow cover of Mount Kunlun, made ancient China a symbol of the West with white.

Looking up at Kunlun is to look up to the source of China's territory, and looking up to Kunlun is to look up to the source of Chinese culture, because Kunlun is not only the existence of a mountain range, but also the myth of Kunlun with Kunlun Mountain as the carrier of the dungeon in China's pre-Qin period.

It is recognized in the cultural academic circles that the Kunlun mythological system is the original source of China's 5,000-year-old culture, and the Kunlun mythology is also a primitive culture, a philosophy of the early people, and a concept and desire of human beings in childhood.

Here, Kunlun in the geographical sense, Kunlun in the mythological sense and Kunlun in the sense of cultural personality are trinity, infiltrating each other, with broad connotations and penetrating through ancient and modern.

For China's ancient ancestors, Kunlun Mountain was distant, mysterious and terrifying, and the gate of hell in Kunlun Mountain is a mystery that you can't guess, and many people want to explore and decipher the so-called "gate of hell"

But after all, he did not decipher his mysteries, the large span and high altitude of Kunlun Mountain, the snow-capped glaciers of Kunlun Mountain, the dangerous magic of Kunlun Mountain, and the grandeur of Kunlun Mountain, which are enough to make every visitor eager to try but talk about the tiger's color.

Awe widens the distance, and speculation creates mystery, so that all myths and stories have a geographical premise.

Legend has it that the shepherds living in the Kunlun Mountains would rather starve their cattle and sheep to death on the Gobi Desert because they had no fat and grass to eat, rather than dare to enter the Kunlun Mountains and go to the ancient and silent deep valley where the grass is luxuriant.

This valley is the Valley of Death, known as the "Gate of Hell" of Kunlun Mountain, and the valley is full of wolf fur, bear bones, hunters' steel guns and barren hills and lonely graves, rendering an eerie and terrifying death atmosphere to the world. The following is a real story that was witnessed by a geological team of the Xinjiang Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources.

I remember that it was in 1983, a herd of horses in the Alar Ranch in Qinghai Province, the horses were greedy for fresh grass and mistakenly entered the Valley of Death.

As it turned out, a few days after the man entered the valley of death, the disappeared herd appeared, but the others did not return, and the people who came to look for him saw his body on a hill, and his appearance was already miserable, and his clothes were broken.

And at that time, he was barefoot, the expression on his face was also angry, his mouth was wide open, and the shotgun was still tightly held in his hand, looking dead.

But strangely, there were no injuries or traces of attack on his body, and the investigators at the time were questioning, who is the culprit?

Everyone was puzzled, and not long after this tragedy, the geological team working nearby, like the dead man, was also attacked by Death Valley.

In July of this year, it was a hot summer day outside, but there was a sudden snowstorm here, after this blizzard, suddenly there was a thunderous roar, the cook who cooked for the geological team, fainted directly on the spot, saw the cook fainted, and other colleagues immediately rushed to rescue the cook, very lucky, the cook slowly woke up.

He recalled that when he only heard a thunder behind him, he suddenly felt that his whole body was numb, and his eyes were black, so he didn't know anything, and when the team members started to work the next day, they found that the entire hillside had changed, the loess had turned black, like ashes, the animals and plants were all gone, and there were dead cows and other animal bones everywhere, which was really desolate.

The geological team quickly investigated the valley and found that there were obvious magnetic anomalies in the area, and they were widely distributed, and the deeper they went into the valley, the higher the magnetic anomaly.

Geologists believe that the magnetic field of the valley and the air discharge generated by the electric charge in the clouds under the influence of electromagnetic effects have made it a mine-rich area, and the object of lightning strikes on the surface is often the running animal, and this explanation seems to explain the reason for several recent events.

In addition, geologists also discovered that there is a dark river under the swamp at the bottom of Death Valley, and if anyone steps on the swamp, they will immediately fall into the river and be pulled into the abyss by the great attraction of the dark river.

This is like the Devil's Cave on the Indonesian island of Java, where it is said that the six large holes there have a magical power, as long as any object passes through the hole, it can suck it into the hole like a hungry tiger pounces.
