Chapter 13: The Three Snow Leopards (Part I)

Cheng Mo carefully wrote down the ******** phone number of the hotel on his mobile phone, and then said, "Little sister, let's go." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

He rented a cheetah SUV at GEM and bought some groceries to put in the trunk. This line of work will cost a lot of money, although it may not work...... It still makes his flesh hurt.

The two got into the car and began to drive out of the city.

GEM is a small city, and after a while, Cheng Mo drove the car all the way south along the national highway on the banks of the Golmud River.

Because of the water of the Golmud River, although there are many wilderness areas along the way, many areas are lush with green vegetation and beautiful scenery. This was not what Cheng Mo cared about, and then he saw many large trucks, carrying all kinds of goods, roaring away.

Not long after driving south, he saw an asphalt road branching out from this national highway, all the way to the west, and there were several officers and soldiers standing at the intersection, and Cheng Lin looked at them curiously.

Cheng Mo knew in his heart that this might be the new roads that the teacher was talking about. He did not say anything, but continued southward, and after a while out of the area of the Golmud River, the heavens and the earth began to become desolate, and without those trucks, there were few other vehicles even on this national highway.

Cheng Mo parked the car on the side of the road and said, "Little sister, come down." ā€

Cheng Lin jumped out of the car, she was so big, she hadn't been out of the door so far, everything made her feel novel.

"Little sister, how do you feel?"

"It's okay, it's just a little cold. ā€

When they arrived at the Kunlun Pass, not only was it windy, but the altitude here also began to become terrifying. Cheng Mo hurriedly took out a thick dress from the trunk and put it on for her.

"Brother, is that Kunlun Mountain?" Cheng Lin gasped and asked, pointing to the beautiful snow peaks in the distance.

Because of the moisture of the snow and water of Kunlun Mountain, it is not completely an alpine desert terrain, and there are many meadows on the vast permafrost, with green pastures, and many bright and dazzling wildflowers blooming in the grass, which is very beautiful. In the distance, there are towering peaks, many of which are covered with snow and ice. In addition, there are many ice mounds and fountains, but the altitude here is too high, Cheng Mo just stays for a while, and he won't take his little sister around to take a closer look.

"In a broad sense, it is regarded as Kunlun Mountain, in a narrow sense, the west is Kunlun Mountain, the east is Burhan Buda Mountain, and then to the east is Animaqing Mountain, the west slope mountain, that is, the Tang and Song dynasties of the big stone mountain, down is the Qinling Mountains, the south is the Daba Mountain, the Daba Mountain to the Shennongjia, the Qinling Mountains to the east is the Funiu Mountain, Tongbai Mountain, Dabie Mountain, plus the Huai River, the land is divided into north and south. ā€

"Calculated from the West Kunlun Mountain, then the north branch is Altun Mountain, Qilian Mountain, Liupan Mountain, Loess Plateau, and two branches are divided at the Yellow River, Luliang Mountain and Taihang Mountain, confluence in Yanshan, and the outside and inside the Guanwai are separated from this line. If you go to the northeast, it is the Great Khing'an Mountains, and the ancient Huaguo Plain and rich places are mostly within this line, and the outside is mostly plateaus and desert areas. Therefore, Kunlun Mountain has become the ancestral vein of China. ā€

If it is divided from east to west, Huaguo still has a series of mountain ranges, the southern mountain system, but that huge mountain system has nothing to do with the Kunlun mountain range.

Speaking of this, Cheng Mo looked at Cheng Lin's face again, saw that there was no big problem, and said, "Let's continue to set off." ā€

The two continued south, a national highway that leads to the town of Tanggula, an enclave under the jurisdiction of the city of GEM, and south into XZ. But Cheng Mo did not go to Tanggula Town, not long after leaving the Kunlun Pass, he looked at the map, and then drove the car, left the national highway, and drove west towards a cold plain area.

Soon, Cheng Mo stopped the car again and asked, "Little sister, how do you feel?"

"Okay, where is this?"

"Hoh Xili. ā€

"Ke Ke Xili," Cheng Lin jumped up excitedly.

"There are two famous 'li' on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, one is this Hoh Xili, and the other is Ali in western Tibet. This is also my first time here, but I have been to the Ali area last year. ā€

"It's what you called the Guge dynasty last year. ā€

"Hmm. ā€

"It seems that the Tang Dynasty Tubo was so powerful, why did it decline later?"

"Tibet was indeed very powerful in the Tang Dynasty, but later it declined with the decline of the Tang Dynasty for two reasons, religious factors, and the extreme deterioration of water and soil, which made the various regions incoherent. Just like during the Battle of Dafeichuan, the strength of the Tang army was 50,000 regular troops and 50,000 people, and the strength of the Qinling was 400,000. But among the 400,000 troops, less than 100,000 may belong to Tubo, and the remaining 300,000 soldiers and horses are all from the Tuyuhun tribes west of the Sun Moon Ridge and facing Tubo. However, the radiation range of this battle is only from Dafeichuan to Wuhai, Dafeichuan is in the territory of the Republic, and Wuhai is in Xinghai. The area is not large, and Ding Zhuang, who participated in the anti-Tang Dynasty alone, reached 300,000, which can be imagined as the population density at that time. But then the environment deteriorated rapidly, and by the time of the Song Dynasty, Tibet had been divided into the Qingtang Tubo, Wuru, Yalongjuewo, Nepal, Yaze, Purangug, Ladakh, Ceylon, and eleven other countries. In fact, because of the deterioration of the environment, many regions cannot interact with each other, and some countries say that they are countries, but they are more closed and backward loose tribal alliances. ā€

"Brother, otherwise the Song Dynasty would be more dangerous?"

"Otherwise, if Tibet had not been divided, the Song Dynasty would not have adopted a restrained policy at the beginning of its founding, and if it was not restrained, with the wealth of the Song Dynasty, it would not have died quickly. ā€

"Brother, it seems that the Song Dynasty fought a lot of battles. ā€

"During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was at war with the Western Xia for many years, but the Western Xia never posed a fatal threat to the Song Dynasty, and the Liao State was content to enjoy itself, because the two huge empires lacked a sense of crisis, resulting in the Liao State being destroyed by the Jin State, and the Song Dynasty government fled to the south of the Yangtze River. Originally, there was another chance to recover the Central Plains, but he met Qin Hui and Zhao Gou, two treasures. By the time of Song Xiaozong, with the Song Dynasty going south, the powerful Western Army soldiers were gone, and some famous generals who had been tempered on the battlefield for a long time were gone, and even if they had the heart, they were unable to recover the Central Plains. Little sister, remember my words, people and countries are the same thing, people with good backgrounds are big countries, if you enjoy the wealth left by your parents, this country will be in danger. People with bad backgrounds are like small countries, if they can work hard, just like the Western Xia back then, they can also compete with Song Liaojin. ā€

This history has nothing to do with their line, and Cheng Mo changed the topic back: "But compared with Ali, Hoh Xil is more terrifying, the overall altitude of Ali is 4,500 meters, and Hoh Xil has reached 5,000 meters. Although there are many lakes, most of them are brackish or brackish water, with severe hypoxia, lack of fresh water, and harsh environments, although there is some wildlife, the total number is limited. Therefore, it has the titles of forbidden area for human beings, forbidden area for life, death line, etc., which is not suitable for human habitation and has become a famous no-man's land. ā€

"Has it been uninhabited since ancient times?"

"No, there are more than 100 lakes in Hoh Xil, of which there are 25 freshwater lakes, which are not very large, accounting for about one-ninth of the total lake area, and most of them are in the northeastern edge of Hoh Xil, which is in our area. There are few freshwater lakes in the deep no-man's land, among which there is a large brackish water lake, called Zhuo Nai Lake, although it is a brackish water lake, the overall salinity is low, and there are Zhuo Nai River and some small rivers in the northwest, all of which are freshwater rivers. Hence the Mani heap was found here. ā€

"Mani heap?"

"In the past, the people of Qinghai and Tibet often carved scriptures on stones and stone slabs, and then used these stones and stone slabs to build an altar, which was called Mani Dui, and everyone often gathered in front of Mani Dui to pray for blessings. Buddhism was only prevalent on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the Tibetan period of the Tang Dynasty, which shows that after the collapse of the Tibetan Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, the Hoh Xil area was inhabited and could not be regarded as a real no-man's land, but because of the lack of written records, there is no way to verify. Later, the environment became more and more harsh, and even if there were humans who survived, they fled the area. ā€

"Brother, why did you bring me here?"

"I'm not here to show you. ā€

Cheng Mo will tell you what happened during this time one by one.

"Remember the way that man looked at you that night?"

"That brother also loves me, brother, why is it very tongue-twisting. ā€

"Hehe, little sister, it doesn't matter, I mean, since he loves you, it means that he will not harm you, and he will also care about your safety. And what we are doing now may be what happened to him in the past. He's old and confused, but we can speculate. ā€

"Brother, you have lived for tens of thousands of years, and you will become an old monster in the future. Cheng Lin giggled.

"Maybe you'll become an old monster too, so let me continue. ā€

According to the previous situation, with Cheng Lin's physical condition, Cheng Mo brought her here, which was undoubtedly pushing his little sister to the abyss of death.

However, the man said a word, you must take your little sister with you when you go far away.

When you go far away, you will go to Kunlun Mountain immediately.

Don't take your little sister to Kunlun Mountain, at least place it in GEM, although the altitude here is not as high as the Hoh Xil area, it is also very high, and it also has altitude sickness. The weather is fine now, but God knows how long this expedition will last, and if it drags on, the temperature will become very cold even if you stay in GEM.

That is undoubtedly equivalent to sending the little sister to death.

Cheng Mo believed that he would not let himself push his little sister to death in the future, and then he thought of that strange juice.

But Xiaomei's disease is very strange, and the various hospitals are still unclear, so they can only wait for Xiaomei's illness to attack and have to be sent to the hospital for treatment.

In the absence of a good way to check, Cheng Mo did an experiment.

Just before the army arrived at QH, he borrowed some money from Dong Zhengming and took Xiaomei to QH first to see Xiaomei's reaction. even brought the little sister to Hoh Xili, of course, only to the edge of Hoh Xil, and then to the harsh depths, Cheng Mo did not dare to experiment indiscriminately. Then stay overnight in this marginal place to see the little sister's body reaction. If it didn't go wrong, he would go back immediately, and he wouldn't even participate in the expedition. If the little sister is still safe, the drop of juice may work, and he will arrange the little sister in GEM and go to Kunlun Mountain with the army to investigate.

So after arriving at XN and getting off the plane, Cheng Mo repeatedly asked Cheng Lin how he felt. When I arrived at GEM, I asked again. When I arrived at Kunlun Pass, I asked again. After parking here, Cheng Mo asked again. It was also the last trial.

"Brother, you are too good to me," Cheng Lin said movingly.

"Stupid, you are the only relative in my world, I am not good to you, who is good to you?" Cheng Mo patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Find a place to camp." ā€

He looked at it and saw that there were many precious wild animals in Hoh Xili, but most of them were wild yaks, Tibetan antelopes, wild asses, and white-lipped deer, which did not harm humans. In fact, the most terrifying thing about resting here is the human beings themselves, those poachers.

Of course, you don't have much to do, and even if there are poachers, it won't hurt them, but the wind is strong at night in Hoh Xil, and the temperature will drop sharply. The focus of the experiment is also here, if he stays overnight, Xiaomei's condition will not have a seizure, and he will be able to let go of most of his heart.

However, in order to prevent accidents, you also need to find a sheltered place to pitch your tent.

Just as he was observing the terrain, Cheng Lin said, "What a beautiful kitten." ā€
