Regarding Xie Yixiang's idea, Shang did not give up or say no, and said: "Maybe it's just a coincidence." If the word "dragon" in this "Tianshan Falling Dragon" refers to the emperor, looking at today, there are only a few people who can be qualified to become the Ninety-Five Supreme, one is the lord of Jinling City, one is the eldest son of the emperor, one is rebelling in Jiangnan, and there is a new dynasty established by the descendants of foreign races in Mobei from the previous dynasty. In addition, Li Jiusi, Zhang Chuwu and others, who competed with the emperor for the world back then, did not leave any descendants, let alone have anything to do with Tianshan. ”

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but mutter: "The political situation in the countries of the Western Regions is turbulent, the relationship is complicated, since the fall of the previous dynasty, but in just over ten years, the dynasty has changed several times, among which the Turkic, Tibetan, and Persian three countries are the strongest. Maybe what these 'Heavenly Mountains Falling Dragon' and 'Suli Tang Peak' refer to are actually the emperors of the countries of the Western Regions, or even related to the royal family of Beshbali?"

However, the empty talk between the two is still inconclusive. Speculating on the reason why Ning Cui left this map, it was obvious that the two of them wanted to go to the place marked with a red circle on the map. Since there is no trace of Ning Cui at the moment, the only way is to go to the "Suli Tang Peak" according to the map she left; even if it is a trap set by Ning Cui, the two of them can only break through hard. recalled that Xian Jingyue had told her when she was leaving, saying that Xie Yixiang's martial arts are now above Ning Cui, and there are still merchants who will not give up on helping each other, so there is no need to be afraid of her.

So the two asked Yushan's father to be their guide, but Yushan's father said that he was old and weak, and he refused to go to anything. In the end, it was Yushan's father's son who introduced a local guide and asked the two for twenty gold coins, and then he agreed to come down.

The two of them packed up and set off early the next morning. The guide was a middle-aged local man with a shrewd and capable face, named Sadiq Imani Abdul Meatsori, or Sadiq for short. According to him, in the Vultures, "Sadiq" means loyalty, so it must be foolproof to have him as a guide this time. Under the leadership of Sadiq, the three of them rented three camels and carried a large amount of luggage all the way out of the city to the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains.

It is said that it is almost autumn at this time, and the weather is gradually turning colder, and the terrain of the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountain is extremely high, and it is even more chilly in the meantime; as the mountain rises, it has gradually been covered with ice and snow along the way, and even piled up into a glacier later, and no more people can be seen. Fortunately, this Sadiq has a lot of experience, and he has all kinds of items in his luggage, so he has already asked everyone to change into a thick fur coat. When night fell, Sadiq found a place to set up a tent, so that Xie Yixiang could live in one room, and he and Shang Buqi would share a room.

Because of the "world's first master" Qingzhu old man and the name of "Tianshan Mojia", Xie Yixiang can be said to have longed for this Tianshan Mountain, but it is the first time to come here, to witness the glacier scenery here, but to see the blue sky shrouded in the head, a number of teeth and claws of the cumulus clouds change with the wind, it seems to be close in front of him, can be picked. Under the sky are a continuous stream of large and small peaks, cloaked in ice and snow, standing silently, their momentum into the sky, piercing the cumulus clouds. There are occasional lakes and rivers in the glaciers, and the still ones are like ancient jade, which are flat and undulating, and the moving ones are like flying beads, and the grains are sprinkled. There are also yellow deer, brown sheep, black storks, golden eagles, and snow leopards dotted among them, all of which do not avoid people, foraging and perching, and are leisurely.

The three of them traveled for more than ten days in the picturesque northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and they got closer and closer to the red circle mark on the map. There was no danger on the road, except for the dry food he brought with him, Sadiq hunted a goat on the road with crossbow arrows, and barbecued meat every night. When the tent was set up that evening, Sadiq looked at the map again and said that after two or three days' journey, he would reach the "Sulitão Peak".

Along the way, Xie Yixiang has asked Sadiq about the "Suli Tang Peak", although this Sadiq is very familiar with the Tianshan area, but about the "Su Li Tang Peak", it is also similar to what Yushan Daddy knows, only said that it is an extremely steep mountain in the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, no one has ever been able to climb it, so it is also called the "unconquerable peak". As for the location of the red circle on the map of Ningcui, it is not actually "Suri Tang Peak", but at the foot of the peak to the west of "Su Li Tang Peak", near the shore of "Haribai Lake".

However, Sadiq asked the two of them many times about the origin of this map, and what the red circle in it meant, whether it was the legendary treasure map? Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi also bluntly told each other, saying that this map was left by a friend, and they didn't know what was in that place, maybe it was just the place where the person agreed to meet. Although Sadiq didn't say anything, he could see the confusion in his eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't believe the explanation of the two.

In this way, by noon on the third day, a mountain peak that went straight into the clouds had appeared in the sight of the three of them. Its mountain is round, about 100 zhang high and low, and the diameter is also 30 or 40 zhang, almost vertical, like a bamboo shoot piled with snow, and the other peaks around it are suddenly overshadowed by it. Nasadik pointed to the mountain and said, "This is the 'Sulitan Peak'." ”

At that moment, Sadiq followed the location of the red circle on the map, turned around the "Sulitan Peak", and spent more than two hours finally coming to the foot of the "Sulitan Peak" to the west. I saw that the west side of the foot of the mountain is a flat sandy and gravel land, about a dozen acres of square area, on one side is the almost straight "Suritang Peak" mountain wall, and on the other side is a large lake with deep blue water, which is what Sadiq called "Haribai Lake".

After these fifteen or sixteen days of travel, they finally arrived at their destination, Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi also breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became vigilant again-what was the purpose of Ning Cui using a map to lure the two of them here? Seeing that this place was completely populated, and it was no different from the scenery of the Tianshan Mountains along the way, the two of them made a rough exploration, but they did not find anything unusual, let alone Ning Cui's trace, and they felt more and more puzzled.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Nasadik found a place to set up a tent by the lake, and Xie Yixiang lived alone, and he and Shang Buqi shared a room. The three of them roasted some goat meat to eat, and they were worried that Ning Cui had some conspiracy, so they didn't dare to sleep at night, so Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi took turns to watch the night, but the night passed, but they were safe. After dawn, the three of them explored this area carefully, but still found nothing, and under the leadership of Sadiq, the three of them even circled around the entire "Sulitan Peak", but still found nothing. Nasadik couldn't help muttering, "Could it be that this red circle mark on the map actually wants you to climb this 'Sulitan Peak'?

Xie Yixiang had just seen clearly that this "Suli Tang Peak" had steep walls and was covered with ice and snow, so it was indeed impossible to climb. Even if Zhuang Haoming, who is known as the first in the world, is resurrected, even if he can barely climb twenty or thirty zhang, he will never be able to reach the top of the mountain. Shang Buqi also shook his head slowly, and said: "Don't say that this mountain peak can't be climbed, if we really want to climb to the top of the mountain, why should this red circle be marked at the foot of the mountain in the west? ”

Xie Yixiang was also at a loss, so she had to continue to camp here and wait for Ning Cui to appear. Nasadik received twenty gold coins, but he did not complain, and waited here with the two of them. Who knew that after waiting for two days and two nights, not to mention Ning Cui, there was not even a ghost, and the three of them also explored this area several times, and almost remembered that every grass and tree in the vicinity was ripe, but there was still no gain.

It wasn't until the morning of the fourth day that the three of them made another round of patrols around the neighborhood, and Shang Buqi finally became a little impatient, and said angrily: "This girl dares to tease me like this, and she must be cramped and skinned before she can vent her hatred! Since she left this map, I have been staying here, even if I wait for ten years, I will definitely wait until she shows up to see her!" Nasadik was suddenly startled, and said: "Two Han friends, I can't compensate you for spending all the time here. Shang Buqi raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Your road has been brought, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with you; Just leave us the tent and two more camels. ”

Nasadik pondered for a long time, and finally decided to say goodbye to the two, and Xie Yixiang remembered his hardships along the way, and paid him an extra ten gold coins as a reward. After Nasadik packed up his salute and left happily, Xie Yixiang smiled at Shang Buqi and said, "Shang Zhutou deliberately supported the guide, naturally he has discovered something. ”
