Chapter 777 Walking on the tip of the knife

That night, after Brother Jun greeted Zhang Meng, he took the lead.

Zhang Meng, Lai Zi, Fatty, and Ye Jiuze stayed in the village. After resting for a night, they continued to rush along the route on the sheepskin roll early the next morning. The four of them left Dahongliu Beach and entered the boundary of Qiaogoli Peak, even if they officially entered the Kunlun Mountains in the west.

The temperature around it gradually became colder.

Fortunately, everyone has been in Kunlun Mountain for a while and has become accustomed to the temperature here. They have not been affected by it. Instead, they have accelerated their pace.

On the way, Zhang Meng asked Lai Zi to give Fatty again, and Ye Jiue made up for Qiao Geli Peak's common sense.

Lai Zi also used it as a pass-through time and patiently explained the history of Qiao Geli Peak to everyone.

"Jogoli Peak is the second highest peak in my country after Mount Everest, and it is also the most difficult mountain to climb in the world. In the mountaineering world, it is the top of hell, known for its high mortality rate, and is often called a peak by foreign friends."

"I know all these..." said the fat man.

Lai Zi ignored the fat man's interruption and continued: "'Jogory, in Tajik language, has a tall and majestic meaning, but in the mouths of other ethnic minorities, it has a different meaning."

"It's normal to have several names at the junction." Zhang Meng nodded.

"What does it mean in Tibetan?" asked the fat man.

Lai Zi looked at a mountain next to each other in front of him and said, "In Tibetan, it is called 81, which translates to the meaning of the white goddess."

"Is it the local Tibetans called it?" Zhang Meng seemed to think of something and confirmed.

"The Tibetan people are originally divided into many different Tibetan systems. I heard that this 81 is named after the descendants of Tibetans living on the south side of Qiaogoli. As for whether they are local Tibetans, it is unknown." Lai Zi said after thinking for a moment.

"Why do I think this white goddess has something to do with the snow girl?" The fat man turned around and looked at Zhang Meng and said.

"I also think Qiao Geli has something to do with the Snow Girl." Zhang Meng nodded and said, "Brother Laizi said before that the Snow Girl himself is in this place. Listening to Qiao Geli's Tibetan translation, it seems that this is their hometown."

"Oh, it would be great if the snow girl was still there. We can ask her if this is her hometown." The fat man raised his neck and looked at the white snow in front of him.

"Which road we are taking now?" Zhang Meng asked.

"There are six ridges on Qiaogoli Peak. We are now walking in our country. We have been walking through Yinhongtan before. As long as we go around Qiaogoli Peak Mountaineering Team base and pass the Kleqing Valley at our feet, we can enter the ridge."

"Kerqing River Valley?" Zhang Meng was stunned.

"Is this a valley here?" The fat man frowned and looked at Lai Zi: "Lai Zi, you haven't said it before."

"Yes." Lai Zi also said sadly: "The terrain here is too complicated. Some places cannot follow the route they designed previously. You have to bypass some dangerous places.

After saying that, Lai Zi pointed at his feet.

"You mean that, there's nothing wrong with it, right?" the fat man asked with lingering fear.

"That's right." Lai Zi shook his head and sighed, "We are not here. July and August are the time when the water of the Kleqing River surges. As long as the water rises, I don't want to cross the valley and enter the mountain without it."

"Damn" the fat man rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there no other way?"

"Yes." After hearing the fat man ask, Lai Zi nodded and said, "But they are all vertical cliffs, which are much more dangerous than here..."

"Damn it." The fat man curled his lips helplessly.

"Then we can only look at our luck." Lai Zi seemed quite helpless: "Manpower sometimes cannot compete with the laws of nature."

Hearing this, Zhang Meng said in confusion: "All we walked along, the altitude was about 5,000 meters, and now it should be 6,000 meters? There is even river water at such a high altitude? The terrain of Kunlun Mountain is so strange."

"What's strange about it? They are all made of snow?" said the fat man.

"Even in summer, how much snow can melt at such a high altitude?" Zhang Meng said in disagreement.

"You see so many snow-capped mountains that you can't see at a glance. A little melted on the mountainside is enough to fill a river." The fat man did not agree with Zhang Meng's explanation and said, "Don't forget the Yangtze River. Didn't the water of the Yellow River originate from Kunlun Mountain? Such a large foothill, even if the snow water will not melt, there may be a lot of water hidden underground. As long as a little flows out, it will be enough to drown us."

"I still don't agree." Zhang Meng shook her head and said.

Seeing that the two of them had different opinions, Lai Zi fell into deep thought: "Actually, I don't know whether to tell the origin of these valleys."

The four of them were speechless and fell into silence.

Finally, Lai Zi looked up and continued, "Behind this valley is the glacier on the north side of Qiaogoli Peak. This is the one we are walking on."

"After finally there is a normal way." The fat man said happily.

Seeing the fat man relaxing his guard, Lai Zi reminded: "Don't think it's safe to enter the glacier. The terrain of Qiaogoli's glacier is complex and changeable, with various cracks intersecting, not stronger than the steep rock walls on the west side. There are rolling stones, ice collapses, and avalanches. As long as you step in, you will walk on the tip of the knife. By the way, fat man, especially you, you can't scream at that time..."

"I know, I know." The fat man said impatiently.

After talking about the disadvantages, Lai Zi talked about the benefits of entering the mountain at this time: "Although entering the mountain at this time depends on luck and the terrain is dangerous. However, the temperature on the top of the mountain is slightly higher and the good weather lasts for a longer time, which is conducive to our activities."

"Hey, it's a little bit of a benefit at all." The fat man smiled.

While chatting, everyone entered the vicinity of the Kleqing River Valley. Fortunately, there was only a simple river water on the road, and it had not soared. However, fearing that the river water would rise overnight, Zhang Meng and others did not rest. They rushed to the road overnight, preparing to cross the last valley and enter the Qiaogoli Glacier.

It was very quiet along the way, and there was no other movement except for some sporadic wild animals. The four of them quickly crossed most of the valley.

When he reached the edge of the valley, the fat man suggested taking a break. Zhang Meng nodded in agreement, but the fat man had just found a place to sit down and found that something was wrong with Lai Zi looking at him.

Before the fat man could ask questions, Lai Zi frowned and quickly stepped forward, pushed the fat man away, and carefully wiped the stone-shaped thing under the fat man's butt.

Seeing this scene, the fat man asked in confusion: "I said, Lai Zi, what are you looking at?"

Lai Zi didn't say a word, but his eyes became brighter and brighter. Half a minute later, he grabbed the fat man, pointed to the stone, and said to the fat man: "Fatty, look at the handwriting on it is Qin Zhuan?"
