Chapter 1000 The Voyage Diary of the Knowledgeable Man, Shenfeng Blood River and Jin River, the Last Divine Prophecy!
"God bless! At the beginning of July, the fleet set off from the purple bay of Yakutat (Yakutat), along the steep and towering cliffs, rolling mountains, and magnificent and holy glaciers. And in these stunning white wonders In the process, the fleet saw two extremely towering pure white mountains that almost occupied half of the sky!..."
"The guide, Eyallu, gestured and stammered and told me: Those two towering sacred mountains are the bridge between the sky and the earth in the tribal legend! Only the strongest tribal warriors can climb these two mountains. The peak of the gods, and personally talk to the gods in the sky. According to the ancient legends of the ancestors, there are only three most outstanding chiefs who have climbed the three highest mountains! They have all received the gifts of the gods, respectively. Bringing back 'fire', 'bow and arrow throwing spear', 'boat and fishing net', these three 'divine objects' that changed the entire tribe! And the two sacred mountain peaks in front of you, the east peak is in the middle, corresponding to the 'bow and arrow throwing' Spear', it is called Tianshen Hunting Peak. The west side is close to the sea, corresponding to 'boat and fishing net', it is called Tianshen Fish Peak..."
"Hearing this, I smiled and asked Eyalu, if that's the case, is the sacred mountain corresponding to 'Fire' called 'Heavenly Fire Peak'? And where is that sacred mountain?..."
"Hearing this, Eyalu looked serious and told me seriously: The sacred mountain that brought back the 'fire' is the common ancestor sacred mountain of all tribes thousands of miles away in the north, so it is not a 'fire peak of the gods', but the most sacred." Heavenly God Ancestral Peak'! And the location of Ancestral Peak is far away in the mountains in the far northwest, hundreds of miles deep inland... But that sacred mountain is very high, it is the most magnificent peak in the world. He is as high as Straight into the clouds, high enough to be connected to the sky, and even along the coast, you can see it from a long distance! …”
"Witness of the Lord God! I didn't believe that there was such a high mountain in the world. Until the fleet traveled westward for more than a thousand miles, it was really by the bay and saw the mountains behind the mountains, which were higher peaks than the peaks! I even felt that this The majestic and sacred 'Tian Shen Zu Feng' is the place where the ancient gods descended from the sky and walked out of the ancient sacred mountain, and it is the Snake Mountain where the supreme god resides! …”
The cold wind was strong, blowing the cheeks of the wise Mickey, and blowing his shining eyes. It seemed that from the direction of the northeast cold wind, he once again saw the place where he came from, and saw the three shocking peaks! He has a vague feeling that the height of these three sacred mountains, the majesty that occupies the sky, is even higher than the first sacred mountain of the alliance, which is the towering Yanfeng sacred mountain!
"The three extreme northern sacred mountains that can be seen on the coast... Tianshen Yufeng, Tianshen Hunting Peak, Tianshen Zufeng..."
The knowledgeable Mickey murmured, recalling the icebergs that filled the entire sky, and his heart was full of piety and reverence.
He did not know that the height of Mt. St. Elias is 5489 meters, which is the second highest peak in the United States in later generations. The height of Mt. Logan is 5959 meters, which is the highest peak in Canada in later generations. The so-called Mount McKinley is the highest peak in North America with a height of 6190 meters! As for the altitude of the Yanfeng Mountain on the Mexican plateau, it is 5426 meters above sea level, which is indeed shorter than the three mountains.
not to mention. These three real holy mountains on the extreme north coast can be seen from the sea level with an altitude of zero! The majestic and shocking, magnificence that covers the sky and the sun is by no means comparable to looking up on the 2,000-meter plateau!
"Praise the Lord God! The fleet docked at the foot of the two sacred mountains and held a sacred prayer ceremony, which boosted the morale of the crew! Afterwards, we continued westward, following the warm currents, and within four or five days, we could go six Over a hundred miles, I came to a spectacular delta estuary, and saw a raging red river (Copper River)! The mouth of this big river is twenty miles wide, and the water flow is very fast. However, the most mysterious Yes, the water of this big river is actually deep reddish brown, like a river of blood flowing!..."
"Blessed by the Lord God! The turbulent and strange river of blood caused ripples of exploration in the hearts of every member of the fleet. And this sacred red color undoubtedly symbolizes the blessing of the Lord God! Therefore, we stop here When they got down, they encountered large schools of fish, and easily caught buckets of red salmon. According to the warriors of the fleet, this red fish must have been blessed by the Lord God, and it is better than white fish. Even more hungry!…”
"We fished at the mouth of the Blood River for two days, and replenished the food on board again. On the coast of the Northland, fish schools are the best source of food. Especially around the warm current, slightly close to the deep sea, the fish The number of swarms will be astonishing! They seem to have not been caught for thousands of years, and they don't know how to stay away from ships..."
"During two days of hunting, the hard-working sailors on the long boat found a tribal man fainted on the bank of the river. He seemed to follow the raging river of blood, accompanied by the ice floes and sand in the river, from I don’t know how far upstream it floated down. When the guide Eya deer saw the thick deerskin robe on the opponent’s body, the strange fishbone necklace on the neck, and the damaged pine mask on the head, he judged with certainty: “This is A Sogpian of the far mountains, from the hill tribes above the Blood River!'…”
"Blessed by the Lord God! Sure enough, when the tribal people who fainted woke up, they spoke a simple but difficult tribal language and gestured with us for a long time before explaining his name, 'Annu fish', 'good at hunting and fishing. The hunter'. His origin is precisely "the migratory tribe in the upper reaches of the Blood River, living by the lakes and forests in the high mountains". The reason why he jumped into the Blood River and ended up here is that when he was hunting in the mountains, he met To 'the thunder of the gods, the cycle of rebirth, the burning forest fire!'…”
"Lord God! I never imagined that in this cold northern land full of snow mountains, icebergs, rivers, and lakes, there would be forest fires recurring, constantly bringing about a cycle of destruction and new life?..."
The knowledgeable Mickey rubbed his chin, recalling his encounter with the Sugpia hunter Anu. On a sunny summer beach, groups of red-fleshed salmon shone with golden scales. However, this abundance of fish along the coast has nothing to do with migratory tribes in the mountains, nor is it easy to catch in small tribal kayaks.
The Sugepia man by the river is strong and simple, with a particularly tall figure, and deep wrinkles and scars on his face. It is the bitter wind and frost of the extreme northern snowfield, which comes from the fire in the black forest in midsummer, and tells the story of the difficult migration and wandering of those tribes in the mountains for thousands of years in the farther north!
"Winter is the heavy snow that drowns everything, the howling cold wind, and the vast expanse of white... The tribe nests in the mountains and can't see anything..."
"Summer is a dark forest, an unpredictable forest fire, and a raging river... Tribes migrate around, chasing deer and fish wandering..."
Following Anuyu's narration, the surging upper reaches of the blood river, the endless and vast snowfield basin, and the endless black forest were also imprinted in the hearts of the exploration fleet for the first time. What is even more astonishing and imaginative is the glimpse of the golden legend in the tribal poems.
"O ancestors of the tribe, obtained fire from the sacred mountain of the ancestors!...The fire burned, burned the earth, burned the forest, and burned a golden river!...From the source of the golden river, we stepped on golden stones, Migrating all the way to the warm south. The migration road is long and long. There are very few people migrating... until the gold turns into white, and the white turns into blood red, flowing, the blood of the dead tribe..."
"Wait! Wait! The Lord God blesses you!..."
Hearing this intermittent, simple-language, and difficult-to-understand pronunciation of Sugepia's poems, the knowledgeable Mickey widened his eyes and keenly captured a word. And similar tribal vocabulary played a great role in the fleet's search for the prophesied "Juno" gold mining area and the discovery of coastal gold mountains.
"Witness of the Lord God! Anu fish, you said just now, a golden river? A golden stone?..."
"Hmm. Yes. Golden. River. Stone."
"Where?"
"In the tribal, ancestral, place. At the end of the river of blood."
"how far?"
"It's far, far, far away, and it takes many, many, many days to go."
"Have you ever seen it there yourself?"
"No. I haven't seen Jinhe. There, north, cold. Tribe, south, warm."
"The Lord God blesses you! Think about it again! Does that golden river exist? Where is it?"
Hunter Anuyu shook his head, looking at this group of strange big boat tribes suspiciously. Under the eager eyes of the two captains, he thought for a while before replying.
"I haven't been there, but the elders of the tribe, very old, have been there. There must be there, there must be! There are many big rivers, the rivers meet, and they are very barren... Golden rivers, golden stones, everywhere, walk a few miles God, you can see it by the river!…”
"Ah! Lord God bless! Golden rivers and stones, a vast riverside gold mine... This is, this is!... This is His Majesty's last prophecy of gold mines!..."
Hearing this, the knowledgeable Mickey and the captain Zuvalo looked at each other for a while. Afterwards, the knowledgeable Mickey cautiously took out the divine prophecy bestowed by His Majesty, and unfolded the soul-abstract handwritten chart.
"North of 60 degrees north latitude, in the upper reaches of a big river, hundreds of miles away from the coast...there is the last truly magnificent gold mining area! It is the confluence of many golden rivers, flowing through the shining golden river bed, also It contains the wealth that has been dormant since ancient times, and it can attract the southern tribes across the sea to brave the waves of death!..."
On the coast of Alaska in mid-July, there is bright and warm summer sunshine, bringing the light and warmth bestowed by the Lord God. At the mouth of the Blood River, for the first time, the Kingdom's exploration fleet heard about the "Golden River Gold Mine" at the end of the Blood River from the mouth of the Sugepia hunter Anuyu. That was the center of the later Alaska gold rush, the Fairbanks Goldfields!
This large gold mining area, which lasts for hundreds of miles and contains countless wealth, produced at least 220 tons of gold in the 100 years of the 20th century, and it really changed the entire development history of Alaska! And for all the countries, all the captains, and all the explorers of the Old Continent, it is a real place of wealth, and it is also full of the temptation of death...
As for the kingdom's exploration fleet carrying half a ton of gold, the rumors of this large gold mining area did not tempt them much. This clear rumor only once again verified His Majesty's prophecy, confirmed the fleet's position, and revealed the upcoming final exploration!
"Witness of the Lord God! Go west from the south coast corresponding to this gold mine, and the coastline will turn to the southwest. You will sail southwest and find the island chain islands going west...From there, it will be a long exploration During the voyage, the last and most difficult journey of thousands of miles! After crossing the island chain, it is the easternmost part of the New World, a vast and extremely northern island, with loose tribes hunting and hunting, and moreover, four-legged beasts that the kingdom urgently needs. Further south, there are the gold and silver of the fleet, the powerful nations that can show their strength...Brave explorers who go west, may the Lord God bless you and reach the real west!..."
Note: The easter egg chapter is an updated exploration map. Ah, finally a thousand chapters! Happy and excited!
