A group of people walked into Xuefeng Mountain and found that the space inside did not look like it was dug manually, but rather like a huge project that the ancient ancestors expanded along the gaps in the mountain.
Because this passage tore a very high space above their heads, even the torch they held could not illuminate the end above their heads.
To carve out such a large space in the snow-capped mountains, it is no longer possible for humans to do it. It can only be done by the uncanny power of nature.
Everyone held torches and walked forward for a while. Jin An estimated that they had entered the mountain for a mile or two and found that the terrain here was not upward, but all the way down. They were heading towards the underground space.
The cliffs on both sides of the mountain are very steep, and there are thick layers of ice. These ice layers are made of snow that has melted and frozen, solidified and melted again. Thick ice layers and ice ridges accumulated over the years are even bigger than a human arm.
Still thick.
Suddenly, Jin An's figure paused, and everyone asked what was going on. Then they looked down along the torch in Jin An's hand. It turned out that a dead end road appeared in front of them. Beyond the dead end road was a cliff thousands of feet deep and bottomless.
If Jin An hadn't heard the news and been mentally prepared in advance, the mountain would have been pitch black and the visibility would have been poor. If he had followed the inertia and moved forward, he might have missed the mark and fallen into a dead end.
At Jin'an's reminder, everyone bypassed Duantou Road and continued walking down a steep cliff path.
There is a narrow cliff path on one side, and an unfathomable cliff on the other. Those who are a little brave or have a fear of heights will simply suffer when walking here, just like an old Taoist priest whose legs have begun to weaken and he simply dare not
Distracted and looked to the side.
While walking in silence, Qi Bo's voice suddenly sounded from behind the team: "What's wrong with you, sir? Have you discovered anything?"
Hearing the sound from behind the team, Jin An, who was walking in front, stopped, the silly sheep following him also stopped, and the old Taoist priest also stopped holding on to the rock wall.
Jin An turned around and saw Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo, who were walking at the back of the team, looking at the cliff opposite.
At this time, Mr. Yiyun raised his hand and pointed to the opposite side: "There is something opposite us, but it's too dark here and I can't see what it is."
Hearing this, Jin An also stared at the opposite side.
But he saw nothing.
However, he believed in Mr. Yiyun. Since he said there was something on the other side, he must have discovered something.
However, the opposite side is too far away from here. Several people stopped for a while and couldn't see clearly what the thing on the opposite cliff was. And what caught the attention of Mr. Yiyun must not be an ordinary thing.
Jin An: "The large army is walking in front of us. We haven't seen a single body along the way. For now, it's safe here. We don't need to be too nervous. We can continue on our way and be more vigilant."
Young Master Yiyun stopped and stared for a while, but in the dark space, she still couldn't see the other side clearly. She finally nodded and continued to move forward with the team.
But along the way, she would stare at the opposite cliff from time to time. It seemed that there were not many things on the opposite cliff, and she could feel the presence of many unknown things along the way.
After walking in the darkness for who knows how long, they finally reached the bottom of the cliff. There was a roar of people at the bottom of the cliff, with thunderous screams and joyful laughter. It seemed that the large troops who advanced up the mountain had really discovered a god inside Xuefeng Mountain.
Tibetan!
Several people looked at each other and quickly walked towards a passage at the bottom of the cliff.
When he turned the passage, he suddenly saw a golden light in front of his eyes, which dazzled the eyes of several people who had already adapted to the dark underground space. When he got used to the light in front of him, Jin An looked forward attentively and was stunned.
At their feet, a low-lying basin appeared. The basin was filled with mountains of gold coins, gold nuggets, gold jewelry, and gold antiques. Looking around, there were no fewer than dozens of them. The edges could not be seen at a glance. They were filled with mountains of gold.
Underground basin space.
This astonishing amount of gold makes people's eyes shine brightly. Who would have thought that under the Kunlun Mountains, there is astonishing gold that can buy several countries. Even Jin An's heart was deeply touched.
"Mom, this, so much gold...this gold is enough to buy several Kangding kingdoms!" The old Taoist priest was dumbfounded and stammered when he spoke.
The heaping of so many mountains of gold is truly astonishing.
"They say that the Kingdom of the Immortal God is filled with gold. Why do I think this is the real Kingdom of the Immortal God?"
Standing on a high place and looking at the Jinshan Mountain in the basin below, there are so many nuggets that are too numerous to count. There are many people greedily holding the nuggets that are bigger than human heads and laughing crazily. Every space on their bodies that can be used to carry things is full.
Seeing the shiny gold coins, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh again.
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. After hearing the old Taoist priest's sigh, Jin An and Mr. Yiyun looked at each other, their eyes revealing some thoughts.
The Kunlun Mountains separate the Western Region and Tubo. One side is a plateau snowy area, and the other side is a scorching desert with drought and water shortage, forming two worlds: one cold and one hot.
The location of the deepest basin in the desert happens to be bordering the Kunlun Mountains.
The reason why they did not cross the Kunlun Mountains directly from the desert basin into Tubo was firstly because the desert was very large. Without a desert map or guide, blindly crossing the desert would most likely lead to death of thirst in the desert due to lack of water. Secondly, because of the crossing
The Daxue Mountains are the only way into Tubo to reach the ruins of the ancient Zhangzhung Dynasty. It is not practical to go directly from the desert basin to the Kunlun Mountains.
It was precisely because the two were not far apart that when he heard about the avalanche in the Kunlun Mountains, Jin An would wonder if it was related to the breakup of the Suzaku Bureau of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duantianjiedi and the explosion in the Desert Immortal Kingdom last year?
Because the time of the two events is too close.
With some ideas in mind, the team searched high places for a while, and soon found a gentle slope descending into a basin filled with gold mountains.
Before, I stood on a high place and looked at the Jinshan gold coins lying on the ground under my feet. Although it was shocking, it did not have a real touch after all, and it still felt a bit unreal, like a dream. But when I entered the basin, I felt the compaction of the gold coins under my feet.
The clanging friction of each gold coin and the down-to-earth touch made them finally believe that what they saw in front of them was not an illusion, but a real gold mountain.
swish swish
Gold coins, gold beans, gold bracelets, gold rings, gold necklaces, gold coral trees, gold scepters, gold long-necked vases, gold crowns... flowed from their feet like quicksand. Jin'an, four people and one sheep stepped on the golden mountain, deep into the mountains.
Walk forward with one foot shallow.
The old Taoist priest who was amazed all the way bent down and picked up a golden bean. The golden color made people's hearts ripple. This golden mountain is like a mountain of human desire, which can't help but arouse the most primitive greed in people's hearts.
No one can calmly face the wealth of these incomparably rich countries.
Jin An is also a person of flesh and blood.
He admitted that he was also a vulgar person at this time, and he was not exempt from the vulgarity even when he faced so many golden temptations.
However, he has a little more determination and control over his mind than those who laugh crazily while holding a gold nugget, so he is not so out of control.
The old Taoist priest holding the golden beans showed a worried look on his face, and finally sighed sadly: "Little brother, what is the meaning of this life? We have fought in life and death several times in Fucheng, Wuzhou, and we have conquered demons and demons for the suffering people of the people.
, I have done countless meritorious deeds, but in the end the money I earned is not as good as picking up a golden bean here."
"It is said that all hustle and bustle in the world is beneficial. Faced with such a golden mountain, why do I suddenly feel confused about my life?"
Seeing that the old Taoist priest was not dazzled by the golden mountain in front of him, but could actually throw away the golden beans in his hand without any hesitation, Mr. Yiyun and Qi Bo who were accompanying the team were surprised to look at the old Taoist priest a few more times.
Only Jin An knows what happened.
When he was in Fucheng, Wuzhou, he already knew that although the old Taoist priest was stingy and careless, he was never greedy or in love with money. He never had more than a hundred copper coins on his body, and every time he did something exceedingly good, the profit he got was money.
, he will do good deeds and donate them.
The old Taoist priest also has many unknown sides.
Ding dong
The golden beans thrown away by the old Taoist priest made a crisp sound, which was not like the dull crisp sound of golden beans, but more like the crisp sound of jade beads.
"Huh?"
Several people looked surprised.
Jin An bent down and picked up a golden bean at his feet. This time he looked back and forth carefully for a while, and then looked a little thoughtful.
Peng!
Pinch hard with two fingers.
The gold master crushed it into jade powder and dropped it. These were not real golden beans, but golden jade beans.
Because the view in the underground space is dim, these golden beans create a very deceptive visual bias, making people mistakenly think that this is a golden mountain.
In fact, this is not a mountain of gold, but a mountain of jade.
Those golden crowns, golden scepters, and golden swords are all made of polished jade.
Jin An and the others experimented several times and discovered this astonishing truth.
"Is it all jade?"
The old Taoist priest looked astonished.
At this time, those people who were frantically carrying gold on Jinshan Mountain did not seem to realize that there were a few more outsiders in Jinshan Mountain, nor did they realize that the gold they picked up was all gold and jade. They were still frantically carrying gold with greedy expressions.
, I picked up a golden scepter and threw away the gold bracelet in my hand. I picked up a heavy gold shield and threw away the golden scepter in my hand. When I picked up a piece of pure gold nugget weighing more than two hundred kilograms, I threw it away again.
The golden shield... These people are like picking up watermelons and throwing sesame seeds. There is always endless gold for them to pick up on the Jinshan Mountain. They look crazy and immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.
Crazy!
This is Jin An’s evaluation of these people.
This basin is very large. We stepped on the rustling "Golden Mountain". Four people and one sheep walked for almost half an hour. They still had not left the atmosphere of Jinshan. Instead, a majestic Golden City ruins appeared at the end of Jinshan.
.
The golden city is no different from a city. It is also surrounded by high walls, towers, gates, and wall stacks. It is magnificent and beautifully carved, just like the Tianque Fairy Palace.
"His grandma's is gold and jade again! Even if it's not real gold, so many gold and jade can be regarded as an eternal miracle!" The old Taoist priest who was holding the goat's rein in his hand and walking behind the team with Qi Bo arrived at the foot of the Golden City.
, with his palms pressed against the golden brick city wall, his mind was so shocked that he said that this trip to Kunlun Mountain was well worth it. I thought that the golden and jade mountain before was already shocking enough, but I didn’t expect that there is an even more incredible golden and jade city here, just like gold.
The golden light is the same. Today is an eye-opener. I have made a lot of money in this life.
"It is said that there is the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West in the Kunlun Mountains. Could it be that this city made of gold and jade is one of the palaces and dormitories built by the Queen Mother of the West in the human world?" After the old Taoist priest marveled, Lianshan's expression turned into a solemn guess.
The group walked through the oppressive long and thick city gate and entered the golden city, which was suspected to be one of the palaces of the Queen Mother of the West.
The buildings in the city are also made of gold. The mansions are lined up row after row, and there are many tall buildings with exquisite carved beams and painted beams.
According to legend, there is a jade tree planted in the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West.
It is normal for an old Taoist priest to have such speculation.
