Chapter 130: Genting Tiangong · Five Holy Snow Mountain

After avoiding the snowstorm, we set off again and rushed to find Anin and their horse team under a slope. At the same time, the mysterious snow mountain in the seabed grave picture also appeared at the end of our vision. When we asked the guide how to get there, Shunzi shook his head, saying that we could never pass.
"Why?" I wondered, and I said you didn't mean that these eight hundred miles of snow-capped mountains, can each of you go up? Why can't this one go again?
Shunko explained: "That mountain is called Sansheng Snow Mountain (pseudonym). There is only a very small part of this mountain on our side. Above the snow line to that side, they are all on the border of North Korea. We can't get through it."
The fat man froze for a moment, and asked, "The Three Saints Snow Mountain? Was it the snow mountain that Volkswagen Volunteers built when the post-war lifeline was built when Commander Peng resisted the United States and aided North Korea?
Shun Tzu nodded and said, "Yes, that is the mountain, which is more than 2,400 meters above sea level. Over the mountain, it is the hilly area of ​​North Korea."
When I heard it, my heart broke.
The Sansheng Mountain is known to those who have served as soldiers or who are interested in modern Chinese history. The three most difficult borders in the world are India and Pakistan, one is Israel and Lebanon, and the other is the Sansheng Mountain. There are only fourteen kilometers of border lines.
In fact, China and North Korea have always been friendly countries. People familiar with it all know that the western of Changbai Mountain can easily cross the border, and there are not too many checkpoints. The forest area of ​​Changbai Mountain in China was depressed around 1996. At that time, many people often cross the border to dig a kind of Chinese herbal medicine called "Alpine Rhodiola" to make money. Although the Korean soldiers also caught, but the Chinese ran away and fought guerrilla warfare, plus many people who came to steal the herbs with tobacco and alcohol You can also get away with tobacco and alcohol when you catch it, so for a while, this border line in Xipo has already survived.
However, this section of the Sansheng Mountain is still very tightly sealed. No one knows the reason. It is said that this section is the old border between China and North Korea. Above the snow line is the North Korean border. Strategic materials entered North Korea, and a lot of temporary strategic passages and underground fortifications were built on the mountain. Both parties can quickly send troops through these passages, so it is impossible to prevent them strictly.
Now our food reserves do not allow us to bypass the borders with very high elevations on the side. The only way to catch up with the progress is to take a straight line from the Sansheng Mountain Pass directly across the border between China and North Korea and then into the snow top.
Our troubles are not mysterious and gigantic tricks and dumplings, but the very real bullets of the August 1 automatic rifle and the regular army of at least a large number of companies.
Several other people were more or less aware of the situation of Sansheng Mountain, and they all looked sad. We exchanged glances and calculated what to do next.
Pan Zi comforted us: "Don't worry, there must be a way to cross the border at the border. Shunzi who was a soldier here must know that we can persuade him to take us over, and then just give him more money."
Pan Zi asked Shunzi when he said it. He didn't expect that Shunzi shook his head firmly and said, "No, it's impossible. There are just a few roads that can go up there, all of them are high posts, and a searchlight of 10 meters, from At the foot of the mountain is a military restricted zone. Although there are not many people, the sentries are very dense. Not to mention crossing, you ca n’t even reach the whistle on our side. The command I received at the time of my service was to see any strangers enter. In the field of vision, a shot will be fired into the sky to warn you, if you do n’t retreat, the second shot will directly hit you in the leg, without a reason. "
The fat man asked: "So let's buy some fruit and bring it up, and pretend to be the common people to console?"
Shunzi smiled and said: "Boss, you too can tell jokes too, of course not. First, this is not a place where you can get fish mixed with water. Second, where to find fruits here. It's snowy and cold. We brought the fruits above the snow line of Changbai Mountain, more than empty hands. suspicious."
The fat man snorted and said, "What should I do? This broken line can't be killed? I don't believe it. The Macedonian defense line has been broken through. This broken border line can still have a Macedonian defense line? You Is n’t it too much money? Just say how much you need. "
Straight scratched his head with embarrassment: "Oh, it's not a question of money or money. If there is really a way, I'll still have trouble with money? You have to think of going to North Korea. I said earlier that I won't take you this way. Now that I have come Here, I really have no choice. "
Shunzi said that there was no room for discussion. We were all a little surprised, but this area is not rich, and crossing the border is not a big crime. If there is a way, Shunzi should not hide us.
The Chinese monk had no idea. They walked around Chen Pi'a and asked the old man what he thought.
In fact, it is the question of whether to continue or to go back. If you continue to walk, you must bypass the other border lines as Shunzi said. The time may be doubled, and you will have to go hungry to climb the mountain in the last few days. If you don't continue to walk, you will go back to rest and come back again, that is to say, you have been crawling in vain for a few days, and all the hard work has been in vain.
I tend to go on my own. I do n’t know that Sanshu has deployed the purpose of such an urgent action. Aning and their team have put a lot of pressure on me, and I hope to see Sanshu soon. Of course, I had such an idea at the time, but I was completely unaware of the pain of climbing snow mountains in hunger.
Chen Pi'a sighed, and apparently never encountered such troublesome things. This old ladle of Changsha only covered the sky with his own hands. He dared to do anything if he killed or set fire, but when he met the official Things that are related to each other will linger, so it is said that the poor does not fight with the rich, and the rich does not compete with the officials. He thought for a long time, and did not speak, his brows became tighter.
I was a little anxious. I glanced at the oil bottle and wanted to ask his opinion, but he did not participate in our discussion at all. He just looked at the snowy mountains in the distance and did n’t know what to think, as if all this had nothing to do with him. .
Consult to discuss, and no one can come up with a way at a time. Ye Cheng on the side called us when he was at a loss.
We stopped talking, looked down the mountain, and found that Anin's horse team began to move forward again, looking at the direction of their departure, the goal is undoubtedly the three holy mountains.
A lot of materials have been unloaded right away, and they are discarded in the snow at random, probably to reduce weight and speed up the action. The snow under the mountain looks like a wolf.
Ye Cheng said strangely, "Strange, don't these guys know that the front is the border line? What do their guides eat? To be really like Shunzi said, carrying so many weapons in the past, didn't they go to practice shooting with others ? "
I shook my head to say that it was impossible. I know the habits of their company. There must be local guides, and perhaps more than one. Such professional private investigation companies are best at research and public relations. They understand the form here definitely better than us, and Certainly, a fixed route was set before coming, and will not be changed easily.
The fat man doubted Shunzi's business ability, so he asked him how to explain it. He didn't know if there was a way that others knew. Shunzi narrowed his eyes and said, "There is only one possibility to walk this way, that is, they want to go from the mountain pass in front to other mountains, and then spare the section of the border, and then turn to Sansheng Mountain in North Korea. The risk is also great. But it is much better than impacting the frontier line. Their team is bigger than ours, if there is enough food, or if the North Koreans get through the joints, they do have the strength to make long journeys. "
"What should I do? Do you want to keep up with them?" Ye Cheng turned and asked Chen Pi Asi.
Chen Pi'a shook his head without speaking. He suddenly pointed to a snowy hill on the other side of Sansheng Mountain and asked Shunzi, "What mountain is that?"
Junko took the telescope and looked at it, saying: "That is Xiaosheng Snow Mountain, which mountain is in our country, and Sansheng Mountain and Xiaosheng Mountain, plus there is Dasheng Mountain on that side, which is called the Five Saints."
Chen Pi Asi asked again: "From here, can you go up to this little holy mountain?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone was stunned, not knowing what the old man wanted to do. Shunzi was also a bit strange, saying: "The problem is no, it will be there in a day, and it is far from the sentry post, and the scenery is good, but the road is not easy to go."
Chen Pi'a patted the snow on his pants four times, stood up, and said to Shunzi: "OK, just take us there."
Everyone was puzzled, and the Chinese monk immediately reminded: "What's wrong? Father, going there is too wasteful of time. We haven't had food for so long--"
Chen Pi'a waved his hand and pointed to the mountain range on one side. He said, "Here the mountain stretches, it is snowy all year round and looks around on three sides. It is a rare three-headed old dragon. The strong wind said that this is the so-called" Qunlong " These three mountains are all dragon heads, which are very suitable for group burials. If the Tiangong is on the cliff of Sansheng Mountain in the middle, the two little dragon heads on that side should have the tomb of the queen or near Cheng. . "
The pattern of the three-headed dragon is very peculiar, the three heads must be connected. Otherwise, the three dragons will fly into the sky, the dragon will have no direction, and will be in a mess. The children buried here will be killed by brothers, so if there is a funerary tomb, there must be a secret road under the tomb that is connected to the main tomb of the middle palace.
There are many ancient tombs of three-headed dragons in history. For example, the burial of the three sons of the Warring States Period of the Meng Mountain excavated in 1987 is the three related ancient tombs divided into three hills in the same mountain range, two on each side Each ancient tomb originally had a corridor with a diameter of about half a meter leading to the main tomb in the middle. Unfortunately, at the time of excavation, these corridors had collapsed. The archaeological team did not know whether these corridors were actually connected or just a symbolic one. Furnishings.
We looked in his hand and saw that the three snow-capped mountains lay at the end of the sky and the earth, which was no different from the surrounding snow-capped mountains. I didn't know where Chen Pi's judgment came from.
Chen Pi Asi finished, looked at the stuffy oil bottle and asked him: "Brother, am I right?"
The sullen oil bottle reacted to other people's questions, and looked back at Chen Pi A Si, but said nothing, and turned back to continue looking at the snowy mountains in the distance.
We do n’t even understand big head feng shui. I heard it in the clouds and fog, and my heart felt a little mysterious, but since the old man said so, the stuffy oil bottle seems to agree, so this set is best not to doubt.
When we went down to the place where Anin under the mountain had stayed, we saw that the leftover luggage was scattered in the snow, many of them were stolen, and there was no food left. Obviously all equipment has been re-screened, and some useless or duplicated things have been discarded.
The fat man even found a few robbers, but the bullets in it were all taken away, leaving only the empty gun body. The fat man likes this gun. He picked up a hand and wanted to take it with him. He was stopped by the straight and said that you are carrying the gun. If you encounter a border guard here, you will not speak well. If you do n’t have a gun, you can find him to help us. It's a pity to get fat.
After the flat ramp where Anin had been at the bottom of the mountain, behind the valley, we saw that the trail of the Aning Horses extended towards the depths of the valley.
We also reorganized here, and Junzi took us to Xiaosheng Mountain Pass in the other direction. Soon, we walked into a white world. What we saw with our eyes was the skyless snow and the rare bare rocks and ice cones.
Changbai Mountain may be the only snow mountain in the world that can go up. Compared with the glaciers of Kunlun Mountain, the environment is much better. There is no huge ice sheet with cracks. Do n’t worry about the sudden break of the foot, but the glaciers of Changbai Mountain are also typical. Ancient glaciers, mountain continuity is not good, what ice erosion landforms, mortar caves, giant ice buckets, bottomless ice wells, anyway, I have not learned the snow mountain landforms well, I ca n’t tell the truth, I only know that often There is no way ahead when walking, the cliff is so huge that you have to walk around or climb over from the side, and it is also very thrilling to walk.
Is speechless all the way, it seems that the straight line distance that we have reached in a few hours, we actually walked for almost a day. When it reached the valley at the foot of Xiaosheng Snow Mountain, it was already the evening of the day.
We camped in a snow cave on a snow about five or six hundred meters above the valley and ate something hot. The starry sky at high altitude is extremely bright and clear. Chen Pi'a used the north arrow to match the astronomical compass in his heart and the arrangement of the stars in the sky, and roughly set the route for the next day.
The road is so sleepy, but the weather is too early, the fat man is wrapped around the straight, asking if there are hot springs around.
Shunzi also remembered the hot springs, but he said that the altitude here was too high, and he did n’t come often. It was a little difficult to find the hot springs. If he was bored, he could go around and find ancient ancestors by the way. The place where the ice was buried was more than a kilometer away from where we camped.
Fighting always has a special feeling for the corpse. Anyway, idle is also idle. We are curious when we hear of dead people. Chen Pi'a's physical strength was no longer enough, and the Chinese monk took care of him. The others followed Shunzi to the valley on the left side of the camp. After walking for less than half an hour, he came to a cliff. Below is the ice valley. I can't see it either.
Shunzi found a good place to stop and hit a cold firework and threw it down. I saw that in the ice layer at the bottom of the ice valley, there were many black shadows curled up into a ball, dense and dense, and some people could clearly see the shape of the person, some left only small black spots, around the ice valley, and even some Sacrificial traces.
Shun Tzu said that villagers in ancient mountains were popular with ice burials. At the beginning of liberation, some people were buried in this ice cliff, so now sometimes some old people come here to worship.
The glaciers here are thickening year by year, so if you look at the innermost corpse, the little spots that are almost unclear, I am afraid that they have a history of thousands of years, and the outermost ones are decades.
I roughly counted the black spots that I could see, and found thousands of them. Obviously this frozen cemetery had not known how many dead people had accumulated in the thousands of years, like this ice valley, the small holy valley There should be, is this snow mountain just an extra large grave mountain?
"Among these corpses, will there be Dongxia slaves who built the Ling Palace at that time?" The fat man suddenly asked.
"Guaranteed not to have." The dull oil bottle looked at the gradual dim cold light in the deep of the ice valley, and I did not know what to think.
The body was buried in the ice, and it was impossible to dig. We looked around and found it tasteless, and went to find the hot spring again, but we found a small one for us. Several people washed their feet and face in the hot spring, and they were all warm. He went back to the camp and talked about the situation. The Chinese monk was envious.
On the snowy mountain, it is strange to say that people are sleepy when they are warm, and they are sleepy when they are freezing to death. The supper was noodles. After eating, sleepiness struck, and there was wind outside again. We all went into sleeping bags early to rest. Shunzi guards the first shift. We have a lot of people, and we don't need to rotate people in one day. Today, it is Shunzi, Lang Feng and Pan Zi who are rotated.
I was very tired, and soon fell asleep. I thought I could sleep a sweet night. I did n’t expect to sleep for an hour. The Chinese monk, fat man, Lang Feng, Pan Zi began to snore at the same time, and the sounds were one after another, like a symphony Similarly, I woke up in a nightmare.
This time I can't sleep anymore, lying down and uncomfortable. I climbed out of the tent and said to Shunzi that I would change with you. I'll come to your class. You go to sleep first.
Shun Tzu was smoking there by himself, looking at the huge black mountain in the moonlight in a daze. Hearing that I was going to change shifts and shook his head to say no, he thought it was bad if he took our money.
I said to myself that you just took out the smoke and went out to ask him to borrow a fire, and then started chatting with him while adding some fuel to the stove.
Chatting with the guide is a matter of insight. I told him a lot about tombs. He was very interested. He also told me a lot of local customs and interesting things in the forest. I did n’t think I heard it at all. Sleepy, the more spiritual the two are talking.
Later, I talked about this expedition. Shunzi told me that he was a border guard for seven years, but he was a reserve soldier for four years. Before he was a soldier, he was collecting herbs, so he was very familiar with Xueshan. Call him "Alangcai", which means the son of Snow Mountain, so we can definitely rest with him. Like the mountain here, there are not many people who can bring people in. He is one of them.
I doubted in my heart, why did you faint before you entered the mountain, this must be bragging, but to see him speak a serious, meaningless to dismantle his desk, followed his words.
Chatting and chatting, the topic has increased, and the distance between us feels closer. At this time, Shunzi suddenly asked me: "Boss Wu-in fact, what are you doing in the mountains, can you tell I?"
I was shocked when I heard it, and I didn't know how to answer all of a sudden, and the two fell silent again.
Our purpose, what do I say? He said he came to Yunding Tiangong, can you believe it? It is not good to say that it is to rob the tomb. It is not easy to say that the tourist is clearly not. I thought for a long time, and finally sighed: "Why do you care about this? I can't say."
Shun Tzu seemed to expect that I would answer like this, and smiled: "It's okay, I just asked casually."
I felt uncomfortable because I did n’t want to lie to him, so I changed a topic casually and talked about other things. I asked him if he used herbal medicine before, why did he do a snow mountain guide later.
It is very profitable to harvest herbs in Changbai Mountain. It is much more comfortable than making such a thankless guide. Now there are so few Snow Mountain guides, which is also the reason.
Junko looked at me and suddenly said something that made me almost vomit blood.
He said: "I am not a professional guide. I have been collecting herbs after I retired. It is rare to take people uphill a few times, and I won't go so deep. I usually turn back on the girl's lake. This is my first time to bring a team Come in."
I laughed: "Don't joke."
"Really, Mr. Wu, I tell the truth, this season, no professional guide will take you into the snowy mountains. If I do n’t take you in, you have to come in by yourself." He smiled at me: "It ’s too dangerous, if it ’s not a Bodhisattva. Bless, in fact, we are dead. It is already a miracle to be able to arrive here one by one. But you do n’t have to worry. Although I have n’t brought anyone in, I ’ve walked through many times. . "
His expression was very serious. At first glance, he was n’t kidding. I scolded in my heart, and wondered, "Then it is so dangerous, do you still bring us? Are you so short of this money?"
Straight glanced at me meaningfully and said, "Money is also a factor, and there is another reason-it is because of my father, he-disappeared ten years ago. At that time he also brought a group of people into the snowy mountains, and The route you are about to follow is the same, but in the end the whole group disappeared in the mountains. I vaguely remembered that the tourists who were looking for him at that time were very similar to your dress, also in winter, and they had to go up the mountain. , So when I saw you, I suddenly felt that I must follow you. First, I do n’t want you to die like my father. Second, I have a very naive idea. Maybe your purpose of going into the mountains, It ’s the same as the group of people a decade ago, maybe I can know what happened to my father. Of course, this is just my speculation.
He smiled self-deprecatingly:
My father may just meet After the avalanche, it was buried in this snowy mountain. "
I realized: "So you asked us the purpose of entering the mountain-"
Shunko was embarrassed
Nod: "Hey, you don't understand the feeling that you know your father is sleeping in this snowy mountain, but you can't see it."
I didn't expect Shunzi's heart to be so delicate, and he couldn't help but look at him a bit. He used to think that he was just an ordinary guide with a slick tongue.
However, the tourists who disappeared into the snowy mountains ten years ago look very much like us, did they come to Genting Temple? I groaned in my heart, but then denied my idea again. No, it's impossible. There are too many places in Changbai Mountain where one can go missing. There can't be such a coincidence. His father may have encountered an accident. He was killed in the mountains.
Shunzi saw me not speaking, thinking that the question I had just asked was a bit excessive, and said to me: "Boss Wu, I think you are different from other people, so I told you this, I hope you don't talk about these things with other people. , I'm afraid they will have concerns. "
I said to myself that I would definitely not say that you brought people here for the first time, not to mention how Chen Pi Asi would treat you, and fat people might kill you.
I nodded and agreed. At this time, the second class of Lang Feng walked out of the tent and yawned. Seeing that the two of us were chatting, I was very surprised. I straightened up and packed things. I put urine in the snow and went. After sleeping, Lang Feng and I had nothing to say, and we greeted and went back to bed.
In the deafening grunt, I was half awake and half awake, dreaming about the situation of Shunzi's father ten years ago, a bearded Shunzi taking a group of people up the mountain, and strangely, in the dream, I always think where are those few people I am I've seen it, turned it over and over, and slept badly.
It was not bright the next day, and we continued to move up the mountain.
Judging from yesterday ’s issue with Junko, he should have known that we are not ordinary mountaineers. I know that we are not well disguised. At the very least, no tourist will be so desperate to rush off.
But we ca n’t control so much. Anyway, he is a tour guide for Changbai Mountain. He has long been aware of the reception of various mysterious teams. Every year there are poachers, Korean pilgrims, and drug smugglers. There are 800 for every 1,000 people. There are secrets, what do we do, let him guess.
The road above the mountainside is even more difficult to walk. In many places, the road is sloping, and there are snow-covered mountains high above the head. It is very easy to avalanche and cannot speak loudly. The snow on the road is too thick. Thousands of years of snow are almost empty underneath. Sometimes they are covered in the snow all at once, and they ca n’t get out without anyone ’s help. We can only use them carefully. The long ice cone hit the foot socket little by little, as if walking in a minefield.
The fat man has the fastest foot distance, which is related to his previous experience in snow exploration. He walked to the front all the way. Because of the mountain reaction, our tongue began to numb. Except for Chen Pi Asi who accidentally changed the direction of travel, only four weeks left With a panting voice, the whole world seemed quiet and lifeless.
After crossing the snowy road on the mountainside, we walked into an icy zone with huge snow slopes on both sides. There is no sunshine all year round, and the snow is frozen. The of the mountain is steeper and the temperature is extremely low. Inside, we finally saw the location of the Dragon Head Treasure Cave described by Chen Pi Asi, a steep almost at an acute angle of sixty degrees to the mountain, covered with snow.
We continued upward, one by one, staggered as much as possible, and began to use the ice cone ice hammer to climb to that steep slope.
This small holy mountain is not among the sixteen peaks of Changbai, so we did not pay too much attention when we came, but it is not an unnamed small peak. This peak is far away from the opposite big holy peak, forming a valley in the middle, standing in front of the three holy snow mountains, Like two guards guarding the gate, this landscape is called the guardian guardian gate.
From the perspective of Xiaofengshui, the two mountains of the Xianmen tigers stalked the dragon plate and swallowed everything. If they were not on the border between China and South Korea, there has always been continuous disputes.
Just walked all the way. Even at my level, I can see the peculiar trend of the mountain range here, with a strong dragon spirit. We are more confident about the assumption that there is a mountain on the mountain.
Climbing different mountain roads with steep slopes consumes more energy. Chen Pi'a climbed for a while. When his physical strength reached its limit, he couldn't climb anymore. Lang Feng had to pick up the old man and we walked more slowly.
After another three hours of trek, we finally boarded the snow slope, at this time I have lost my mind, relying entirely on instinct reflection to follow the fat man.
The fat man arrived first, as if he had reached the limit of physical strength. After stepping on the snow, he was a little confused, stepped on the footprints pretendingly, opened his hands and said to us: "This is just for me personally A small step, but for Touching Jin Xiaowei, it was a leap from his mother. "Then he fell into the snow, motionless.
I almost collapsed, my legs began to soften involuntarily, people began to slide down, Pan Zi wanted to pull me up, but after a few pulls, I couldn't get any strength, and he himself fell to the ground.
I hit the snow with an ice pick, and then I caught myself. Others fell to the ground, gasping for breath and looking around.
This snow is a huge area, and there is almost no boundary line on the left and right. If there is no Chenpi A four-way guide, you will definitely not feel anything special. The snow covered it was very smooth, and only a few black bare rocks burst out. The Three Saints Snow Mountain is on our left side at this time. It is a lot closer than it was yesterday. The top of the Holy Mountain is covered with white snow. The entire huge mountain like a monster stands tall. The white-topped black rock looks more than the other peaks around it. Steep, due to the setting sun, a strange light blue mist enveloped the whole mountain. The air was imposing and the scenery was very shocking.
Yecheng gasped and said with emotion: "It's so beautiful, no wonder they said that Penglai Fairyland is not as good as Changbai. It's worth climbing for so long."
Several people are rough, but they are all intoxicated by the beauty of the surrounding sunset, especially in this snowy mountain, the feeling of standing under the zenith is even more amazing.
Just when I wanted to take out the camera and take a picture of the scenery here, suddenly the fat man took a picture and let me look at him.
I looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the dull oil bottle on one side had already kneeled down, toward the Sansheng Snow Mountain in the distance, and bowed his head very respectfully, showing his expressionless face A faint, very sad look.
