Although it was said that there was no need to stop or rest, after all the thirty-six central orifices were opened, Xu Guangling still took a short break, which meant that he did not immerse himself in that kind of wholeheartedly in the next two or three days.
in a special state.
Past facts have proven time and time again that it is still necessary to "short" occasionally.
After he was no longer distracted, the environment he was in at this moment aroused Xu Guangling's great attention and interest.
Xu Guangling looked around and found that he was now going down a mountain. Looking into the distance, whether in front or behind, on the left or right, there were tall and overlapping mountains.
In other words, the so-called no-man's land of the Altun Mountains is actually a sunken basin surrounded by mountains on all sides.
Of course, it is concave compared with the surrounding mountains, but compared with the terrain of other places, it is high up, about four thousand meters above sea level!
If the altitude were not so high, with its environment surrounded by mountains, it might become a "wonderland" because all harsh wind, frost, rain, snow and other external factors would be isolated by the surrounding high mountains, making this place
Become a place that feels like spring all year round, independent of the outside world.
Unfortunately, it is 4,000 meters above sea level!
What does such a high altitude mean?
This means that even if there is no wind, it will be very cold, and even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night will be very large. "Wear a cotton-padded jacket in the morning and wear a gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon by the stove in the evening."
Moreover, how could there be no wind at such a high place?
Due to drastic weather changes, the wind here will also be terrifying, and...
Xu Guangling looked around and saw that there were almost no obstacles in the vast basin except for some hills and sand dunes!
There are no dense trees and forests, no tall buildings, etc., nothing. This means that once the wind blows, the wind can blow directly from one side of the basin to the other side with almost no loss, and then be blown by the mountains on that side.
It bounces back and blows back to this side.
In other words, it's a football stadium.
Without football, without people, the wind would imitate everything here, running back and forth and even washing away.
When Xu Guangling was looking at the scene in front of him and thinking about this, he was very embarrassed when a strong wind blew so hard that he couldn't open his eyes and had to walk with his back turned.
In fact, Xu Guangling seemed to have experienced such strong winds several times before, but at that time he relied on some kind of instinct to judge everything in the outside world. If there was no threat, then it would be wind, rain, snow, whatever.
will be ignored.
Therefore, this should be considered the first time to truly experience the wind in the uninhabited land of the Altyn Mountains.
If an ordinary person stood here and was blown by such a wind, they would probably freeze to death. This was Xu Guangling's first feeling.
And the wind is still close to the ground!
Xu Guangling felt a rush of cold air blowing past his ankles.
The house is half-built, the girl is kept private and wears a handkerchief on her head;
Noodles are like trouser belts, pot helmets are like pot lids, and spicy noodles are a dish;
If you don't sit on the stool, you will squat down, and if you don't sing Qinqiang, you will roar.
Xu Guangling thought of the "Eight Great Monsters of Guanzhong", which was something Master Ji had taught him and Dasha before. At that time, he mainly talked about mutton steamed buns and Guokui, and then talked about the Eight Great Monsters from there.
This point came to Xu Guangling's mind at this time, and he designated "the wind coming from the ground" as the number one monster in this no-man's land in the Altyn Mountains.
And apart from that, are there any other weird things?
have!
Xu Guangling soon discovered that there were, and quite a few of them!
Walking towards the basin below, Xu Guangling soon saw animals appear in his field of vision, a group of them!
Before he could see what kind of animal it was, Xu Guangling was already surprised. The plant resources in this uninhabited land were not rich, and could even be said to be quite barren. How could they support such a large group of animals? Xu Guangling counted them carefully. Eight
Sixteen!
As for the specific image of this ethnic group, Xu Guangling gradually saw it clearly through his celestial eye as he got closer.
This...should be...an antelope?
The reason why I say it should be is because Xu Guangling's knowledge about animals is quite lacking.
When it comes to botany, he can almost pass himself off as a semi-expert now, but when it comes to animals, he still knows almost nothing.
At this moment, based on his very limited knowledge, he guessed that they were probably antelopes, and more than half of them had two tall and long horns on their heads. Those horns surprised Xu Guangling.
Very long!
Some of them are over one meter, almost longer than their bodies!
It's obviously unscientific to have two long horns hanging on your head like this!
Are they not tired?
Could it be that the horn is hollow and very light?
Xu Guangling could only make such a guess, but it was probably not the case.
But soon, the antelopes used their own actions to explain to him why their horns were so long and weird, completely out of proportion to their bodies.
Antelopes jousting.
Because it is very cold here, injuries will be fatal, and even if they are not injured, pointless stalking is a huge waste, so their fighting is very elegant, just lower their heads and use their two long horns as weapons.
come out.
Just showing, not really playing.
Even if they compete, they are quite restrained.
Then, those with long horns are the "kings", and then the kings leave the ram flock and go to the ewes flock.
That's right, this antelope group is divided into two small groups in a large group, the male group and the female group, which are distinct from each other. Only the king who wins the competition can go to the female group.
In this way, one "king" after another was born in front of Xu Guangling's eyes.
"If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight." Xu Guangling smiled and sighed. If this ethnic group continues to evolve in this way, in the future...
That was really a scene that Xu Guangling could not imagine.
However, through the eyes of the sky, Xu Guangling also discovered that the antelopes with the longest horns are basically the strongest ones in this group. In other words, only healthy and strong physical fitness can support them to grow their horns longer.
long.
The second monster in no man's land, the two horns of the male antelope, one is longer than the other!
It is estimated that such an animal can only exist in such an isolated environment.
Then Xu Guangling discovered another strange thing, that is, the closer to the bottom of the basin, the thinner the snow. From more than three feet on the mountains, it gradually became two feet five, two feet, one foot five, one foot.
, even less than a foot in some places.
This is exactly the opposite of what Xu Guangling originally imagined!
He originally thought that this basin with the most concave terrain would have the most and thickest snow. However, the reality was contrary to his expectation.
"In the past year, I read a lot of books and thought I was very knowledgeable. But when I left the familiar environment and came to a strange place, I realized that I still didn't understand anything, almost nothing!" Xu Guangling said softly.
Sighed.
He couldn't help but think of the sentence in "Zhuangzi" again:
"My life has a limit, but my knowledge has no limit!"
