Chapter 133 Kunlun
After resting for another day, we went up the mountain the next day.
After breakfast, Yu Yue drove the car to a place where it was impossible to travel, packed the necessary items, and led Jiang Rou, the little guy and the black cat Bobo to hike up the mountain.
The black cat Bobo was too lazy. He didn't dare to be hugged by Yu Yue, so he wanted to be hugged by Jiang Rou.
The little one walks, runs and jumps on his own, and is not afraid of falling.
While climbing the mountain, Yu Yue asked Jiang Rou: "Why are you interested in Kunlun Mountain?"
Jiang Rou said: "Because I feel that Kunlun Mountain is remote, mysterious and terrifying. I feel that Kunlun Mountain is a fictitious sacred mountain that exists in legends and imaginations, so I want to see its true face."
Yu Yue asked: "Remote? Mysterious? Horrible?"
"Yes." Jiang Rou nodded, "How much do you know about Kunlun Mountain?"
Yu Yue smiled, he had been here too many times in the last life.
He asked back: "First tell me how much you know about Kunlun Mountain."
Jiang Rou thought for a while and said: "Kunlun Mountains, also known as Kunlun Qiu and Kunlun Ruins, run across the territory of western China. It is the highest average altitude on the earth and has a large extension area. It starts from southwestern Anshan in the west and connects It stretches from the northern part of Bianzang to the west of the West Sea and to the northwest of Shuzhou, with a total length of more than 2,500 kilometers. It is truly the ancestor of mountains, the king of mountains, and the true backbone of the Chinese land.
“Looking up at Kunlun means looking up at the source of China’s territory; looking up at Kunlun means looking up at the source of Chinese civilization.
"Because Kunlun is more than just a mountain range. In the pre-Qin period, the Kunlun myth system with Kunlun Mountain as a regional carrier has already been produced. Legends about Kunlun are also found in ancient Chinese classics, such as "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". "Shangshu", "Zhuangzi", "Liezi", "Tianwen", etc., followed by "Historical Records", "Huainanzi", "Hanshu", "Shuowen Jiezi", "Lunheng", etc., all recorded It's true. People's reverence and yearning for this sacred mountain have lasted for thousands of years.
“So, Kunlun is not only Kunlun in the geographical sense, but also Kunlun in the mythological sense, and it is also Kunlun in the sense of cultural personality. It is a trinity that penetrates each other, has a broad connotation, and connects ancient and modern times.
“The four gates to hell in the world, the Eye of the Sahara is the most mysterious, and the Death Valley of Kunlun Mountain is the most terrifying.
"Death Valley in Kunlun Mountains is the Nalengela Canyon known as the 'Gate to Hell'. The magnetic field is extremely abnormal, causing hallucinations and thunderstorms. People and animals never return, and the bones of giants were unearthed in the Nalengla Canyon.
“Many people want to explore and decipher the so-called ‘Gate to Hell’, but it is still an unsolved mystery in the world.
"And Kunlun has rich and colorful myths and legends, such as the Kunlun Nine Heavens, the Queen Mother of the West with a human head and a leopard body, the Nine Heavens Xuannv, the blue bird attendant, the Yuxu Palace of the Taoist leader Yuanshi Tianzun, and the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's palace in the lower realm are all located in Kunlun Mountain Top, Nvshu refines stones to mend the sky, Jingwei fills the sea, Yi shoots for nine days, Chang'e flies to the moon, White Snake steals fairy zhi, etc.
“So, Kunlun Mountain is also the home of all gods.
"The long span and high altitude of Kunlun Mountain, the snow peaks and glaciers of Kunlun Mountain, the dangerous and magical scenery of Kunlun Mountain, and the majestic majesty of Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain combines the world, hell and heaven, making people fascinated and fearful. So remote, so mysterious.”
Jiang Rou spoke a lot in one breath, and she started to feel a little out of breath, but her spirit was obviously very excited.
Yu Yue grabbed the back of the black cat Bobo's neck, took it out of Jiang Rou's arms, and threw it on the ground, letting it walk on its own so as not to burden others. Then he said with a smile: "I didn't expect you know a lot. .”
Jiang Rou took a breath before saying: "When I was in kindergarten, I told stories to children. Many children like to listen to fairy tales, so I also learned about it in depth. The more I understood, the more I felt that the Kunlun system was broad and profound, and the more I felt that the Kunlun Mountains were far away. It’s mysterious, colorful, and a little scary.”
Yu Yue nodded: "Then I will show you its true face this time."
Of course he would not reveal that in his previous life, he had carefully explored the Kunlun Secret Realm, and all the ruins inside had been turned upside down. Later, the Kunlun Mountains was used as an important military base for the Earth Alliance, with many strategic weapons and equipment. They are all deployed here to deal with foreign invaders.
So to him, there's nothing mysterious here.
However, the climate in the mountains is indeed strange. It was clear that it was sunny and sunny just now, and white clouds were lingering. Now suddenly, dark clouds are rolling over the mountain, and huge mountain shadows are pressing on the climbers. The clouds and fog quickly spread, making it cold and desolate.
Jiang Rou couldn't help but shrink her neck and asked, "Will it rain?"
Yu Yue shook his head: "I can't say for sure."
He wasn't worried about the rain, since he had brought a raincoat anyway.
Suddenly, a little light appeared in the gloomy sky and misty clouds.
It was an antique wall lamp, cleverly embedded in the rocks to provide shelter from wind and rain, illuminating the path under people's feet.
Going forward, there is another light.
Keep walking, always have a light.
When you walk out of the foggy area, the lights won't come on. They should be automatic control lights that sense light and darkness.
Jiang Rou originally thought it was a little strange, but now she guessed that this was all a mountain hiking facility set up for convenience.
In addition, there are temples and pavilions for hikers to take shelter from the wind and rain.
Although the Kunlun Mountains are extremely dangerous, this road passes through the mountains skillfully.
The twists and turns of the mountain road are difficult to reach even with all your eyesight, but it is not difficult to walk. There are convenient facilities and instructions along the way.
Jiang Rou calmed down and asked, "Who built this road and who arranged these facilities?"
Yu Yue said: "This is the territory of the Kunlun Sect. Of course these things were made by them. They go up and down every day for the convenience of others and themselves. Although some local financial support can also be obtained, these sects and sects They are all very rich and extremely fat."
Jiang Rou clicked her tongue and marveled: "So there really are rivers and lakes and martial arts sects in this world?"
Yu Yue said: "Yes, it's not just martial arts..."
The second half of his sentence, "There are many things you didn't expect exists," was not spoken.
The rain has not yet fallen, the clouds and mists have dispersed, and the sky has cleared up again.
Yu Yue and his entourage walked and watched, enjoying themselves as they pleased.
However, the rain and fog did not stop them, but someone blocked their way.
The sunlight pours in, illuminating the two large characters on the rocks:
Kunlun!
Moving forward from the word "Kunlun", we reach a pass.
I saw a group of men and women wearing martial arts shirts standing there. The men were as powerful and muscular as horned dragons, and the women were as strong as a tiger. Everyone had an indifferent look on their face and didn't say much. When they met tourists going up the mountain, they only said, "It's closed now." "Mountain, no one is allowed to go up without an invitation, please come back", full of style.
This season, there are still some tourists visiting Kunlun Mountain Scenic Area.
However, the passage up the mountain was blocked, and tourists turned around one after another. Even though they were full of complaints, they dared not speak out, let alone come forward to argue.
After all, the guard doesn't look like he's joking, and if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to eat and walk around.
Yu Yue frowned slightly, but still took Jiang Rou, the little guy and the black cat Bobo to the pass.
The leading guards were two big men, as strong as tigers, with shining eyes. When they saw Yu Yue and others approaching, they both raised their hands to stop them, and said: "The mountain is now closed, and you are not allowed to enter the mountain without an invitation from the Kunlun Sect. Please come back!”
This "family of three" also brought pets. At first glance, they did not look like the disciples of the sect who were invited to participate in the martial arts conference. They were obviously tourists, so they were simply expelled...
