Daomu Biji

The situation in front of me was so spectacular that words could not be expressed at all. We all looked dumbfounded. Although Wen Jin mentioned such an oasis in his notes, my impression should not be like this.

The basin is very large and looks neat. The fat man looked like a crater. Looking down from the cliff, I only saw the smoke slowly circling below, almost all dense canopies, and I couldn't see the specific situation.

This should be Tamutuo. Unexpectedly, we found it in such a way, it seems a bit too simple.

Panzi turned the car back, and we looked at the basin with a telescope while wondering what was going on.

Pan Zidao said: "It seems that the rock mountain where Doma and Wenjin were separated has indeed disappeared. This is the Yangai area. It may be a salt mountain. In decades, several rains have left the earth. However, following the direction of the river, you can still find it here. "

These writings are not written in the notes, and I can't know it, but now that I have discovered this oasis, we are also a little overwhelmed. I asked Pan Zi, what are my plans?

Pan Zi just said that he must go down first. He listened to me and said the note and the message from Dzhuoma. He knew that Wen Jin was definitely below. He said that he could not wait for the meeting of the three masters. Jin is the master. If he waited for the third lord to miss the master, his buddies would n’t have to be any more, and time was running out.

I said to my heart that you are really a man of twenty-four filial pieties, but I think so too. Time is running out. Counting it, almost ten days before me, I asked a few people, there was no opinion, and they let me see, this How should the basin go in.

Wen Jin's notes have detailed route descriptions. They entered the basin through a canyon. However, the landform here has completely changed. Through her route description, it seems that the canyon cannot be found. We can only drive around the basin to find. After many twists and turns, we finally found a wide canyon.

Pan Zi made a big circle, and found the intersection of the gorge about four kilometers away from the basin. The first part of the can be driven. We went in all the way until the stone blocked the way.

Then a few people got out of the car, picked up the equipment and walked forward. I stopped walking until I saw the trees. I picked up Wen Jin's notes and carefully read the records.

After reading the notes, I couldn't help but feel inferior, and inferred from the things recorded in Wen Jin's notes that this gorge was very dangerous. The canyon goes further, because the elevation is lower, the tropical vegetation is overgrown, and the malaria is diffuse. Our gastronomic surface has a humid environment that may not be able to cope with it. And this is the only entrance to the West Queen Mother Palace. The things I encountered all the way, let me Feel the strangeness of the West Queen's Palace is very strange, expect this road will not be so easy to go.

However, in contrast, what I am most worried about is after the canyon. At the end of the gorge is the core of the oasis. This is where rivers converge. Under the thick canopy of the pit valley are all wet swamps. The peculiar landform here almost forms a tropical rain forest in the Gobi. Although we know that the ancient Queen City of Queen Mother West is somewhere within the swamp, searching in it is almost life-threatening.

In the shade of the canyon, we took a detailed look at the approximate route of travel that Wen Jin described in his notes, because without entering the swamp field, many places were confused, and Wen Jin painted question marks in many places. We do n’t know what these question marks represent, which makes us very embarrassed. In the end, we can only decide to take one step at a time.

After that, we did our own preparations. When we searched, we knew that the road ahead was long. We had to control the consumption of our supplies. Now that we have to enter the Queen Mother ’s backyard, we naturally ca n’t take care of so many things. , Everything we can bring in.

Pan Zi fought in Vietnam and now he is our consultant. He said that from the cliff, the situation here should be similar to that of Vietnam's tropical rain forest. This wetland is the most dangerous. The top is the broad-leaved crown of the original rainforest, covering almost the entire valley bottom. Such dense vegetation must be no sunlight underneath. The crown is dark, and the malaria is full of mosquitoes and poisonous insects. World. Even though the temperature here is over thirty degrees, we must also wear long-sleeved trousers, otherwise you will never have a good piece of meat in an hour.

Anin said: "I have mosquito repellent, can't I?"

Pan Zi said, "You drove away the mosquitoes, but that thing will attract other things. Don't use too strong smell in the rain forest. Otherwise, even if you didn't touch the beast, they will follow you all the way. I brought a gun and it was choking even if I hit a wild boar. "

Finally, he said that once he entered the swamp, he should not go to the water or touch the sludge until he had a last resort. He had a comrade-in-arm, and his feet were stuck in the swamp during the ambush, which was less than a minute. When he dialed it out, his entire leg was full of holes, which was empty, and he did not know what bite. In an environment like this, if such a thing happens, it is tantamount to death. Perhaps it is better to die.

I noticed from Pan Zi's eyes that he was not making an alarmist speech, and his heart was a little different, so I tightened the trousers tighter.

It took two hours, we packed and packed everything, and we set off after Pan Zi's cry. The oil bottle started, and behind the Panzidian, chopping branches and broad leaves, he went deep into the canyon. Our forefoot had just moved, and it was cloudy again. It seemed to be raining. I feel in my heart that the mysteries of nature are really inexhaustible. In the depths of the arid Qaidam Gobi, there is such a humid and rainy oasis.

This gorge is not like the Yadan gorge seen in Devil City. It is not carved by wind. It seems to be a rift valley caused by geological movement. The valley floor is not flat, the rocks are rugged, layered, and the rock walls It seems to be carved by a knife. However, let me say that I agree with the fat man. The terrain here is really like a crater. The rift is like a crust crack that broke when the meteorite fell. It may be much deeper than it is now and gradually weathered. , Filled it out. Such a gorge should not be unique around this pit valley.

The gorge is very wide. After entering the jungle, the surroundings became very hot, and our body became sweaty. Stones and trees are covered with moss everywhere, unable to stand, our feet are already covered with moist sludge and intertwined roots, walking in a root net like monster tentacles, one pit in each foot, and the crown on top of the head is also dense It's no more sunshine. All of a sudden I had a very serious illusion. Am I really on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau instead of the Amazon jungle?

Originally thought that this kind of situation would only be encountered at the end of the canyon. I didn't expect this to be the case in the canyon. The situation in the pit valley is estimated to be even worse.

The fat man walked out of pant, looking at the situation in front, he said that he did n’t know if there were any animals in this oasis. His mother ’s hitting a few to eat was also a kind of welfare. Otherwise, he would be wronged on this journey.

Pan Zi said that the rainforest in this enclosed environment said that it was not small, but that it was not large. I am afraid there would be no large beasts. The most likely are insects and worms. Snakes are the most common in many such swamps.

The fat man said that snakes are also good. I have also eaten roasted scorpions in Guangdong. Anyway, as long as it is fresh, I do n’t care.

I remembered what Wen Jin wrote in his notes: "There are many snakes in the mud, and you are not afraid of meeting people." Presumably Pan Zi said it well. I don't know the size of these snakes. In many Hollywood movies, some pythons can grow like old trees. Thick, the roller won't die, but there should be no such conditions here.

And the ecological environment here is very special. It is a closed land island. I think it is impossible for anything but birds and humans to enter here. The creatures here have been breeding here since the oasis was formed. At the time, Qaidam was still a dense land of rich rivers and rich species. Perhaps we can find many extinct animals and plants in this oasis, which may be more valuable than the things in the Western Queen's Palace.

When I thought about it, I said no more. In the legend of the Western Queen in the Shanhai Jing, the Western Queen's Palace is guarded by a group of human-faced bluebirds. This is definitely a huge raptor that we do not understand. It is impossible to attack us in Changbai Mountain. The kind of strange bird, this kind of thing is still extinct.

Because the trees are too dense, and we are in the canyon, there is no roundabout condition, we can only cut the old vine broad leaves while moving forward. This is very energy-intensive, and the fat man and the stagnant oil bottle do not have much improvement when they take turns to open the road. Fortunately, the Phosang Mountain cliff on the edge of the gorge is sandwiched with a blue sky, like a blue sky. The scenery is very gorgeous. From time to time, there are waterfalls formed by the heavy rain the day before yesterday. We have been passing all the way, and we are not bored.

Soon after we left, we found that there were many grottoes on the cliffs in front. There were hundreds of dense caves covered with moss covered with moss. I do n’t know what was carved inside.

We were tense at once, and the mood to see the scenery was gone. I haven't seen any ruins about the West Queen Motherland along the way. There has always been an unreal feeling. Now that I suddenly saw it, we are really starting to get closer to the core of this mysterious ancient country. It was exciting to think about it, but when I actually saw it, I felt a little scary.

Packed up the playful mood, we went up to check. These grottoes are big and small, and the big ones can be placed side by side in two liberation trucks. The small ones are only half a person tall, which is very different from the Dunhuang ones. The grottoes are very shallow, and you can see the statues inside. It was just covered with thick moss.

I climbed up and took out the dagger, and began to scrape the cover on one of them. In the moss, a strange stone carving gradually appeared.
