In summer, the grass of the grassland grows luxuriantly, like a thick green carpet on the earth.

The horse's hooves are on the grass, and you can feel the softness even when you sit on the horse's back! In the distance, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and occasionally a gust of wind blows on the face, sending a burst of the fragrance of grass, which makes people feel refreshed!

As the saying goes, Wangshan broke his leg, and the four of us rode horses and jogged all the way, walking and stopping for three or four hours, and the snow-capped mountains in front of us were still out of reach.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, we stopped in front of a hill and prepared to camp for the night.

At night on the steppe, the temperature is much cooler than during the day. The four of us sat around and chatted about the route to the mountain while eating self-heating rice.

"Brothers! I want to say that this Qilian Mountain is Kunlun Void, believe it or not! Gřilī said as he ate.

Wang Haiyang, who had rarely spoken along the way, seemed very interested when he heard Geril say this, so he asked, "Oh?!" Why do you say that? ”

When Geril saw Wang Haiyang asking this, he suddenly became interested and said:

"Brother, I haven't been fighting for many years, when I'm bored, I study antique cultural toys in the store, I remember seeing it on a batch of bamboo slips collected: Jiuquan Nanshan, that is, the body of Kunlun. When King Zhou Mu saw the Queen Mother of the West, he was happy and forgot to return, that is, this mountain. ”

I said that Jiuquan Nanshan is today's Qilian Mountain, why?

It is said that the name Qilian Mountain was given by the Huns, Qilian is the meaning of heaven, as far as I know, this name did appear after the Han Dynasty, but the strange thing is that the name of Qilian Mountain before the Han Dynasty is not found in any historical materials, and Qilian Mountain is located in a place where multi-ethnic and multi-cultural blends, it is impossible not to be known to the ancients. ”

I nodded, feeling that what Geril said had some truth, and was about to ask him, when I heard Wang Haiyang on the side ask:

"I have seen that there is a record in the "Hanshu Geographical Chronicles" that Linqiang County, Jincheng County: northwest to Saiwai, there are the West Queen Mother Stone Chamber, Xianhai, and Salt Pond. The north side of the river out, east to Yungo into the river. There is weak water and Kunlun Mountain Temple in the west.

According to the research of Linqiang County, Jincheng County, it is the area of the ancient city of Huangyuan County, Qinghai Province today, Jiuquan Nanshan is in Gansu, and Linqiang County is in Qinghai. ”

I was very surprised to hear Wang Haiyang ask such a professional question, so I quietly asked Zhang Jiande, who was sitting next to me: "Is your cousin a shooting instructor or an archaeologist?" ”

Zhang Jiande also seemed quite surprised, and said to me with a smile: He has always been obsessed with archaeology, otherwise he would not have come here this time!

Gzhle laughed, and he said proudly: Brother Ocean! That's my big discovery! This is actually a problem of conceptual misunderstanding, and the specific location of Kunlun Mountain has not been determined, because we have always thought that Kunlun is a mountain. But in fact, there was no statement of Kunlun Mountain in the pre-Qin historical materials, and all that appeared were the ruins of Kunlun, the hills of Kunlun or Kunlun, but all the claims of Kunlun Mountain and Kunlun Mountain were misinformation after the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that we were all listening with relish, Geril swallowed and spat and continued: "I'm not talking nonsense, I have a basis, for example

It is recorded in "Chu Ci Tianwen": "Kunlun Hanging Garden, where is it?" ”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West" has: "The West Queen Mother's Cave is located in the Kunlun Hill. ”

"The River Map Brackets the Image" has: "The ruins of Kunlun, there are five cities and twelve floors, the river is out of the Yan, and the four dimensions are more than jade." ”

"Zhuangzi Heaven and Earth" has: "The Yellow Emperor swam to the north of Chishui, climbed to the hill of Kunlun and looked south. ”

There are many such examples, "virtual" is "ruins", such as Yin Ruins, refers to a range or area, Kunlun's void means actually that area of Kunlun, not a single mountain.

Hearing this, I was already impressed by Geril, and couldn't help asking:

"Then how big do you say the area this Kunlun refers to?"

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Western Classic of the Sea" has: "The void of Kunlun, eight hundred miles square, ten thousand miles high." From this, it can be seen that the so-called ruins of Kunlun refer to the entire Qilian Mountains, the reason why they are called ruins, which is determined by the unique characteristics of the Qilian Mountains, the Qilian Mountains are different from other mountain ranges, it is a large area of continuous continuity, so there is a saying of "eight hundred miles in the square".

"I'll go! According to what you say, the tomb we went to this time would not be the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West! Isn't the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West in the ruins of Kunlun?" Zhang Jiande listened to it, and he didn't eat anymore! He asked, holding a small aluminum bowl.

Wang Haiyang snorted coldly: "The legend of the Queen of the West is the head of the tiger, if Wang Stick really encounters it, it is not surprising that he is scared crazy!" ”

At this moment, the shock in my heart is indescribable, because the back of that bronze mirror is cast with a beast head and a human body. After getting to know Ye Lingwen's father and daughter, I learned a lot of archaeological knowledge from them, and what Gerile said was reasonable, which made people have to believe it!

If the Qilian Mountains are really the ruins of Kunlun, then is the mausoleum that Zhang Jiande and they found really the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West?

But what does this Queen Mother of the West have to do with Ye Lingwen's father and daughter? The words on the remaining ancient books and bamboo slips are all written in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the Queen Mother of the West is not from the same period!

I once heard Ye Guangci say that it is recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness of the West": "In the south of the West Sea, on the shore of quicksand, there are big mountains, called Kunlun Hill. There is a god, a tiger-faced human body, and her name is the Queen Mother of the West. ”

In other words, the Queen Mother of the West is in the ruins of Kunlun, which coincides with Gerile's inference, if there is really a Queen Mother of the West in history, then she is likely to be a tribal leader in ancient times, or a queen or something! You must know that human society has evolved from matrilineal clans to patrilineal clans! The range of a tribe or a kingdom cannot be just a mountain, it can only be a region! So Gerile is undoubtedly right when he says that Kunlun refers to a region and not a mountain!

According to reliable documents such as "The Biography of Mu Tianzi", "Huainanzi", "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", from the pre-Qin period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, the image of the Queen Mother of the West changed from an ancient fierce god to a goddess who mastered the elixir.

Ye Lingwen's father and daughter are immortal people, and in the mysterious ancient tomb in Qilian Mountain, they just found a jade pendant that is exactly the same as Ye Guangci. Is this all just a coincidence?

Thinking of this, I was extremely excited and confused, and I always felt that as long as I worked harder, I could pass through the layers of fog in front of me and solve the mystery of Ye Lingwen's father and daughter's life experience!

"Mr. Shen!! Hurry up and rest! I'm going to be on my way early tomorrow morning! Zhang Jiande's shouting in the distance interrupted my thoughts.

I then got into the sleeping bag, and I couldn't sleep for a while, so I took out the jade pendant that Ye Lingwen gave me and looked at it carefully, and I don't know when I fell asleep!

A night was spent peacefully, the next day before dawn, Wang Haiyang, who had been silent, got up early, urged everyone to go on the road, and walked on horseback for a day, as he got closer and closer to the mountains, the surroundings became more and more desolate, and there was not a single tree on the bare high mountain, lifeless!

By the afternoon, when I had no way to go, the terrain was getting steeper and steeper, and the towering peaks were all around me. So we abandoned our horses, carried a large backpack on our backs, and followed Zhang Jiande to the depths of the mountains.
