Chapter 843: Thousand Wild Goose Divine Mountain
"Is it really possible that this kind of mountain was formed naturally?"
Xu Xiake looked at the map, full of questions about the shape of this mountain.
Song Siyuan looked at the landform of the inverted peak, and his tone returned to seriousness: "Foreign geographical magazines have done research, Hunan Province, Guizhou Province, and Guizhou Province belong to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, about 200 million years ago, it used to be the seabed, and a lot of limestone was deposited in the seawater. ”
"In this way, the limestone on the bottom of the sea is forced to rise out of the sea, limestone is a kind of rock layer that can be dissolved, extremely resistant to water erosion, encountering high temperature and rainy weather, washed over the years, it will be eroded by the water flow, therefore, hundreds of millions of years of water erosion, here has formed more stone forests, karst caves, dark rivers, peak forests and sinkholes, here is also a typical karst landform belt."
"I guess."
Song Siyuan turned around: "This Qianyan Mountain is likely to have no peaks and forests before, and the inside of the mountain cavity is constantly squeezed out of the ground when the plates move, forming a turtleshell-shaped uplifted mountain range. ”
"In the tens of millions of years of crustal movement, underground rivers appeared in the rock formations and mountain cavities, and the rising groundwater invaded the cracks of various karst caves, and under the scouring action of the water flow, countless karst caves were washed out to communicate with each other, and when the limestone between the caves became less and less, this state of inverted peak forest has been formed."
"After that, the sedimentary rock layers began to cover the vegetation, forming the inverted peaks seen inside, to be precise, these peaks and peaks drilled out of the underground river were not inverted into the water, but the water washed the mountain, forming countless peaks and forests above the water surface, and the real mountain top is always the turtle shell raised from the top of the cave."
"If the groundwater continues to reach the top, sooner or later it will erode away the top of the mountain, so that even if countless unconnected peaks and forests are formed, it is likely that the sudden decline of groundwater interrupts this process, and this is the state of turtle shells covering the peaks."
"I explain it that way, do you understand?"
Yue Guanchao nodded: "This explanation is reasonable, but isn't it strange why there are geese inhabiting here?" ”
Song Siyuan shook her head, and didn't seem to understand very much: "I don't particularly understand this problem, geese have the habit of migrating, and they will fly from the north to the south for the winter in winter and autumn, and fly back after spring. ”
She paused, and continued to ask Mrs. Hu: "Mrs. Hu, are these geese here all year round?" ”
Mrs. Hu pondered: "The geese here don't seem to migrate, and they can be seen all year round. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure." Mrs. Hu glanced at them: "There is a custom of hiring geese to marry in the land of Huxiang, I think that young people here can catch geese every year, whether it is winter, spring, summer or autumn, to hire, if the geese here will migrate, then there will definitely be no geese here in winter." ”
Her eyes became mysterious: "This mountain is called Qianyan Mountain, because there are thousands of geese living in the cave, even in ancient times there is such a name, I looked at the name of the mountain marked on the map, it can be seen that at least since the Song Dynasty, the geese here have not migrated." ”
Mrs. Hu paused and continued: "According to the old people around, the geese of this Thousand Wild Goose Mountain seem to be psychic, and they have been gathering in this place for thousands of years, and even when some of the southward migrating geese fly over here, they will be attracted and become one of the thousands of wild geese. ”
"It is also because of this that although the geese in Qianyan Mountain have been caught, they have not decreased, as if they will never be caught."
"An old man said~" Mrs. Hu mentioned this and lowered her voice: "This Thousand Wild Goose Mountain is actually the courtyard of the mountain god, and the wild goose was captured by the mountain god to be a servant, and some people say that this huge uplifted mountain is actually the turtle shell of the ancient Xuanwu God, and the wild goose can feel the aura of the turtle sleeping place, so it is attracted and unwilling to leave, and even builds a nest and breeds on hundreds of inverted peaks, just to use the aura to cultivate." ”
"You also know that the villagers like to use strange powers to explain things when they encounter things, and the villagers spread more and more, and they really regard Qianyan Mountain as a sacred mountain, because the wild goose is monogamous and ends, and the surrounding villagers go to Qianyan Mountain to worship the Yan Temple as soon as they encounter a happy event, so as to seek to tie the knot and grow old."
Hearing this, everyone became curious about the geese of Qianyan Mountain, and Yue Guanchao asked: "Then, it was also for this reason that the Imperial Concubine Mausoleum was built here?" ”
Mrs. Hu nodded at them and acquiesced: "Yes, the court said that the Qianyan Mountain can lead the geese who move south to live and reproduce, which means that the earth is very abundant, and the huge dome is a basalt shell, which is considered a treasure land of turtle sleep, and it is most suitable to build a mausoleum here, in order to prevent someone from stealing this tomb, the terrain of Qianfeng is wrong, not to mention carrying tomb robbery equipment, it is inconvenient for people to walk, and it is difficult to rob the tomb." ”
"When Song Gaozong returned to the country, because Gaozong's mother Wei Guifei had not yet returned from the Jin Kingdom, the martyred Empress Zhu and Hu Huangfei were not only the elders of Gaozong, but also the loyal martyrs of the Song Kingdom.
"This imperial concubine mausoleum has been built twice, it is already very magnificent, although it cannot be compared with the imperial mausoleum, it can still be compared with the general queen's mausoleum."
Song Siyuan listened to Mrs. Hu's words, and felt in her heart that the gathering of wild geese was definitely an unusual place.
Winter comes, Yan Nanfei.
The swallow here refers not only to swallows and geese, but to all the birds that need to migrate in autumn and winter, the ancients understood the birds that fly south as unable to spend the winter in the north, in fact, the real factor that affects the south flight of geese is the winter food.
The closer to the north, the more distinct the winter and spring, the summer and autumn vegetation is luxuriant, the insects are fat, the birds and birds will not worry about eating, and so on in the autumn and winter, the leaves fall and the insects die, unless it is the and the ptarmigan that eats the grain, other insectivorous birds are facing the problem of food shortage, and if you want to survive in the severe cold of winter, you can only migrate to a warm place, so that you can survive the winter peacefully.
The south here mostly refers to the area south of the equator, including Yunnan-Yunnan and the southeast peninsula, if the wild geese want to migrate to the southeastern outer islands, they must pass through the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, that is, they must also pass through the Qianyan Mountain.
There must be some reason why the geese and other birds flew into the mountains and never wanted to leave.
She thought that in addition to the points mentioned by the court, the imperial concubine's mausoleum was selected in Qianyan Mountain, and there were probably other hidden factors that were not said.
Some people died, but not completely......
