Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, is the first sacred mountain in China, the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, Kunlun Qiu or Jade Mountain. Due to its towering height, Kunlun Mountain has become a natural barrier between ancient China and the west, and was considered by the ancient Chinese to be the edge of the world.
, coupled with the year-round snow in the Kunlun Mountains, the color white symbolized the West in ancient China.
Legend has it that Kunlun Mountain is 11,114 steps, 2 feet and 6 inches high. Below it is weak water that cannot float feathers, and on the periphery there is a volcanic fire that grows sacred trees that continue to burn forever. The top of Kunlun Mountain is the emperor of the Yellow Emperor.
In the lower capital, there is an enlightened beast guarding the gate. Ancient mythology believes that there is a fairy "Queen Mother of the West" living in Kunlun Mountain, with the head of a human and the body of a leopard, consisting of two
Serving only a blue bird. It is the Taoist righteous god who divides the hands of men and women with the Eastern Prince to cultivate and ascend to immortality. The large mountainous system in central Asia is also the backbone of the mountainous system in western China. It starts from the eastern part of the Pamir Plateau in the west, stretches across Xinjiang, Xinjiang, and western Tibet.
to Haiqing Province, the total length is about 2,500 kilometers, starting from the Kunlun Mountains in the west from the Pamir Plateau, with an average altitude of
5500 to 6000 meters, 130 to 200 kilometers wide, narrow in the west and wide in the east, with a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers.
Kunlun Mountain has a prominent position as the "ancestor of all mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation. The ancients called Kunlun Mountain the "ancestor of dragon veins" of China. Many myths and legends handed down in ancient China are related to Kunlun Mountain, and are considered to be the ancestral home of the Chinese nation.
The birthplace of. However, Kunlun Mountain is not the "Kunlun Mountain" mentioned in many myths, but the Kunlun Mountains. The mythical Kunlun Mountain is the "Kunlun Fairy Mountain" that exists in reality.
The Kunlun Mountains, or the Kunlun Mountains in total, can be divided into three sections. The first is the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway that passes from Setula in the upper reaches of the Karakash River and Mazha in the upper reaches of the Yarkand River, forming the watershed between the western and middle sections of the Kunlun Mountains.
That is, the western section. The main mountain passes in the western section include Uzbeli Pass.
Mingtiegai Pass, Khunjerab Daban and Kangxiwa are the main transportation routes to Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are three peaks above 7,000 meters in the West Kunlun Mountains, and seven peaks above 6,000 meters.
The average altitude is 5500 to 6000 meters.
The main river originating in the western section is the Yarkand River, which is mainly supplied by melted ice and snow and merges into the northern part of the basin. There is such a valley in the forest near the Yarkand River, the main river in the western section, and its name is Longtan!
However, there is a fog all year round outside Longtan Valley. Regardless of the so-called explorers, adventurers, or masters of martial arts, they can only stay away if they get lost!
In the eyes of those who know this fog, this fog also has a name, called the Prison Fog Formation, which means that as long as you really walk into this, you will only end up in jail. But Longtan
Where did the name come from?
What came out? It was actually just a huge stone tablet that a very brave ancient warrior explorer saw by chance when he entered the center of the fog, and took a photo of it, but no one ever saw it again.
Saw it.
And under the stone tablet with the two characters "Longtan" written on it, there is also a line of small words like this - Anyone who does not enter the Longtan will surely die!
The nine Daban Mountains located between the Xinjiang-Tibet Highway and the Chelchen River, the main vein is slightly arc-shaped to the south; the Kriya Pass and the Kalamilan Pass are the sections that connect Xinjiang-Xinjiang-Western Tibet, and this section is Kunlun
of the central mountain range.
Finally, there is the eastern section of Kunlun, which spreads out in a slight fan shape to the east and is divided into three branches: the Qimantag Mountain in the north, the Ayakkum Basin in the south, the Tangsongwula Mountains in the east, and the Burhan Buda Mountains in the east.
Mountain; middle branch of Arg Mountain, east
It extends to Bokarektag, Tanggewula Mountain and Buqing Mountain, and is topographically connected to Animaqing Mountain; the southern branch forms the main mountain range on the Qingnan Plateau, and extends eastward to connect with the Kunlun Mountain Pass.
The road must pass through.
There are 4 peaks above 6,000 meters in the East Kunlun Mountains, and 4 peaks above 5,000 meters.
8 peaks with an average altitude of 4,500 to 5,000 meters and snow-covered peaks above 5,800 meters. The height of the snow line in the Kunlun Mountain Pass is 5,200 meters on the north slope and 5,400 meters on the south slope. The main rivers include the Chelchen River flowing into the Tarim Basin.
; The Naren Gol River, Utumeiren River, and Qaidam River flow into the Qaidam Basin.
The northern slope of the mountains in East Kunlun is a desert grassland. Below an altitude of 3,600 meters, it is a dry and denuded bedrock mountain with almost no plant growth. There are cushion-like camel's pigweed, red sand, and gypsum grass scattered on the ditch slopes and debris.
Desert; 3600 to 3800 meters transitions to Stipa subalpine grassland; the lower part of the mountain between 3800 and 4500 meters is
It is a grassland alpine meadow dominated by small grass, with cushion vegetation in the upper part; above 4500 to 5000 meters, it transitions to sparse alpine vegetation and frost weathered zones; above 5500 meters, it is an alpine ice and snow zone. However, it is here that it ranks among the top five
There is such a mysterious valley in the ice and snow zone at an altitude of more than a thousand meters. Its name is Tiger Cave Valley!
Of course, the discoverer once praised the other world in the mysterious and beautiful cave as the cave outside the ice! However, the praiser at that time disappeared after being reported once, and there were many others after that.
Explorers and adventurers, as well as ancient warriors of all levels of strength, have all ventured to the tiger's den, but their endings were more cruel than those who searched for Longtan Valley!
Those who went to explore the mystery of Tiger Cave Valley, and those who came back became idiots, and all of these idiots were those warriors who boasted high strength in those days; and more of them never came back, such as those ordinary adventures
home and adventurer. As for the approximate location of Tiger Cave Valley, according to the record of the first explorer, it is
It looks like a very ordinary cave sunken into a large field of ice and snow, but there are four openings in that cave. They are called: the door of life, the door of death, the door of no hope for life, and the door of no hope of death.
The explorer back then just happened to walk into the living door and discovered it by luck.
As for the legends of Longtan Valley and Tiger Cave Valley, it is not that simple. I don’t know how long ago, there were actually these two sects in the world of Chinese rivers and lakes, but their mystery and weirdness are rarely known, but they did not take action.
Then, once they take action, it will definitely be a blockbuster! Of course, one of their methods
Terrifying and ruthless were also taboos in the world at that time, so many sects except for their elders were unwilling to talk too much about these things to their disciples. Over time, the fierce reputation of Longtan and Tiger's Nest gradually became
In the eyes and hearts of Jianghu people, it is still forgotten in the memory, or even forgotten!
But it is undeniable that Longtan and Tiger's Den still exist, and the warriors inside are as terrifying and terrible as ever! In the eyes of many local residents, whether it is the Longtan area in the western section of Kunlun or the eastern section of Kunlun
The Tiger Cave area has become a restricted area for them, and many of our traveling friends have also
You will be warned by the tour guide or local residents not to enter these two areas, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. However, on the fifth day of the New Year, which is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Longtan in the western section of Kunlun is completely gone.
A group of 'uninvited guests' were welcomed nearby, and judging from their appearance, they obviously planned to enter the Longtan Valley!
Of course, this group of so-called uninvited guests is none other than a group of sixteen people headed by Chu Feiyang, namely Jiang Qingya and Yan Linger, Shadow Thorn One and Shadow Thorn Two, and eleven members of Cobra!
"Mr. Chu, we have been wandering around the Kunlun Mountains for almost half a day. You should tell us what we are looking for here now, right? If we continue walking, we may have to end up in this forest.
We spent the night inside!" Chu Feiyang did not explain the purpose of coming to Kunlun Mountain to Cobra, which inevitably made Long Yin feel unhappy.
"The Mist Array is the place we need to find now, and the Longtan Valley inside the fog array is our destination!" Chu Feiyang said lightly.
"Longtan Valley?!" Long Chou couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Mr. Chu is talking about the legendary Longtan Valley that prohibits outsiders from entering Longtan?!" The other members of the Cobra couldn't help looking at Chu Feiyang in shock after hearing this, as if they wanted to start from Chu Feiyang.
Feiyang got a negative answer, and although Longzi frowned a little, his expression still looked very calm.
"There seems to be only one Dragon Pond and one Tiger Cave in Kunlun Mountain. I think it should be the Long Pond Valley you mentioned!" Chu Feiyang said lightly, "But it shouldn't be as serious as you said!"
"The previous Holy Master of Longtan Valley was my young master's senior brother, and the current Holy Master is my young master's nephew. After hearing this, do you have any questions?" Shadow Thorn No. 2 saw Long Chou's expression of dissatisfaction.
He said, of course, Landon already knew this.
"Mr. Chu is not from the Chu family... Why are you with this Longtan...?" Long Zi had some doubts. As the boss of Cobra, he had certainly heard about the rumored Longtan and Tiger's Den, and compared to ordinary people, he had heard about it.
Know more.
"I have some connections with the previous Holy Master of Longtan!" Chu Feiyang didn't want to say more, but it was enough. "Let's go. According to my senior brother, there are marks from several other seniors. I think we are far away from each other."
The mist array is not very far away anymore!"
Prison fog array.
In fact, the so-called Jialiao Fog Formation is just a formation as the name suggests. However, this formation is quite special. If you cannot find your opponent correctly, you will be trapped in this fog formation for at least three days and five nights.
Don't go out, but once you find it
You can easily find the entrance of Longtan Valley when you reach the formation. Of course, even if you walk to the entrance of Longtan Valley, it is not so easy to enter Longtan Valley. At least you need to go through the questioning and consideration of the guards at the entrance of Longtan Valley before you can pass.
!
"Haha... I didn't expect that those hawks and dogs of the Rothschild family, with their sharp noses, would actually chase them from the island country all the way here. They really enjoyed it!" Just in front of the mist array, Chu Feiyang suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Then he said, "Let me tell you guys, should we wait here for work, or should we ignore them?"
