Chapter 116 Those Strange Places

There are not many boats on the river. Although the war has left Luoshuike, the shadow of the war has remained. Most of the fishermen on both sides of the strait can move away. If they can't go far, try to move to a place controlled by the Black Flag Army on the West Bank. Perhaps people are the hardest to recover from after the war. Compared with the green trees and shades of flowers blooming on both sides of the strait, most people's hearts are still hazy gray.

There are four Huanglong Clippers in front, and so is the back. In the middle is a giant giant ship. This is a large ship that has not been transformed, and the shipyard is still there.

After leaving Xinyang City, the fleet headed up against the current and headed north along Luoshui. Pass Luoshui, Yangtze River and Huangniu River to the east and walk along Yong'an Canal. There are two wide waterways to go. If you walk west along the Yangtze River, you can turn into Yishui. Yishui Luoshui, this twisted line is the dividing line between the Central Plains, and west of Luoshui is the southwestern road controlled by the Fang Jiehe Banner.

After crossing the Yangtze River, along the Yishui River, through the Mangshan Mountains, it is the barren northwestern land. I don't know why the composition of the earth is so amazing. The southwest is the land of fish and rice, and the northwest is the place of bitter cold. The further north you go, the more barren it becomes. On the other side of Shandong Road, it is basically not warm for a few days all year.

After crossing Shandong Road, further north is the mountain turned by Langru Mountain. Langru Mountain turned north-south from north-south direction by approximately 90 degrees on the north side of Shandong Road and turned east-west. However, after stepping north over Langru Mountain, it was still a grassland, but even this grassland was too lazy to take care of it.

Crossing this area, which is already on the grassland border, is the 100,000 mountains that the North Liao people once lived. If Fan Gucheng's cold can be tolerated, the cold of the 100,000 Mountains can only be tolerated by Beiliao people who have lived there for generations.

If I change to another ethnic group, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long.

Why is the Shiwandashan so cold? As if no one understands why the northwestern Da Sui is so barren, and no one can understand why there is such a cold place as 100,000 mountains in the world. It is said that the people of the northern Liao nationality had always wanted to be courtiers of Dasui, but the emperor of Dasui did not give a clear answer. The people of Beiliao Dahan sent people all the way to the north to try to find another place suitable for people to live.

But to their disappointment, the further north they went, the colder it became. The farthest team went out for a full three thousand miles, but they couldn't see the rocky mountains, and they saw a formidable iceberg.

In this way, the people of Beiliao completely died.

When Fang Xie was idle on the ship, he rolled out a map of Da Sui. There hasn't been any news from Gyeonggi-do yet, and even if he is uneasy, there is nothing he can do. However, he left Xiang Qingniu and Wu together, calculating that the distance Xiao Yijiu had already received the message to rush here, and there should be no big trouble.

Da Sui's map is quite detailed. Drawing an exhaustive map in such an era is actually a very difficult task. It is more than the way that Tai Sui emperor Yang Jian had built an empire. It takes a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to complete it over several years or even decades.

The map in Fang Xie's hand was re-added in the reign of the Great Sui Dynasty, and it is much more detailed than the map drawn by Taizong in his later years. This map also added the area around Da Sui, and the map drawn during the Taizong years only showed who controlled those places.

Fang Xie's finger moved on the map, from the southern end of Luoshui, which is a little east of Yunnan Road, and went north. After reaching the Yangtze River, turn a corner to Yishui and then go north.

The birthplace of Yishui is said to be on Langru Mountain, which is the east-west direction of Langru Mountain. It is said that there is a Tianchi on Langru Mountain, which is extremely wide.

However, because the terrain is too dangerous, it is not very clear. Such a river that almost runs through the north and the south, where the source is actually difficult to verify, the people sent out by the Da Sui Ministry of Industry cannot go up to Lang Ru Shan at all.

"looking at what?"

Sang Xi held Ning'er next to Fang Xie and asked.

Fang Xie reached out and took Ning'er over, holding him in his arms. The little guy has adapted to his father's arms these days, and without teasing her, she looked at Fang Jie and grinned. Fang Xie kissed her on the forehead, and this feeling was extremely satisfying.

"I always have a question I don't understand.

Fang Xie extended his finger to Fan Gu's side: "To the west of Fan Gu, crossing the Ruru Mountain is the grassland. The pastures on the grassland are so beautiful, why is there almost no grass on the Shandong side? Going further north, how far can you go over the mountain, or the grassland "Although I haven't been there, Yun Shu said that the pastures there are also okay."

He reached out and drew a circle on the position of Shandong Road: "Only across a mountain range ... Going east, Shandong Road is the most barren, and the environment is better as you go east. When you reach Hexi Road, it is basically the same as Hedong Road. There is not much difference on the side. The most difficult part is this place of Shandong Road. "

Mulberry looked at Fang Jie's finger for a while, and nodded: "If you didn't say it, you didn't notice it. It's strange, why is there no grassland on the west side of Langru Mountain, and it is so barren on the east side? To be cold , The grassland west of Langru Mountain is also cold, but it does not affect the growth of pastures. "

"Is there a big monster living underground down Shandong Road?"

Fang Jie said with a smile.

Sang Ling also smiled: "If there is such a big beast, there is still a way for people to live. I came from there, and the natural environment over there is terrible. My strength is also in the area of ​​Shandong Road The weakest can hardly borrow much of nature. "

Fang Xie froze for a moment, and thought of something faintly, but that thought was fleeting, and when you think about it, you can think of nothing.

...

...

Wan Yan Yunshu held a piece of delicate pastry and fed it to Ning'er a little bit. As he fed, he recalled, "It's really strange to say that the cold of the 100,000 Mountains can't bear people from other places except our Beiliao people. Listen to Father Khan saying that at the earliest time we were in Beiliao The tribe lives here. "

She pointed to the narrow grassland north of Langru Mountain and south of Shiwandashan Mountain: "Although this place is also very cold, there is no problem with herding horses and sheep. Later, after the establishment of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, the wolf was riding nonstop. Hitting here, although our tribal warriors are very strong, they ca n’t beat the huge number of Mongolian wolves and have to retreat into the 100,000 mountains. After many years and many years, our people have adapted to the cold, so Lien Chan has gradually adapted. "

"So you have cold cavalry."

Fang Jie said with a smile.

Wan Yan Yunshu nodded: "Father Khan said that the horses brought into the 100,000 Mountains were almost dead at the earliest time, and there were only dozens of horses left in the end. The people guarded them like guarding treasures. The ponies that were born later survived very little. In the fourth year after the tribe moved to the 100,000 Mountains, there were only two horses left in the tribe. Fortunately, they were one male and one female ... Strangely, regeneration The pony that came down seemed to be born not afraid of the cold and could run on the snowy mountains. During this period, the tribe had been sending people to the small tribe on the grassland to plunder, breeding with the stolen war horses and the war horses in the tribe. Many years later, Own the horses again. "

She wiped the corners of Xiao Ning'er with a handkerchief: "For over a thousand years, the tribe has lived so hard and did not dare to let the Mongolian people know how we cultivated the herd of horses. Until 200 years ago, the size of the herd of horses It was too big to hide. But at that time we were not particularly afraid of the Mengyuan people. When they came, we ran into the mountains. When they left, we went to plunder the grasslands. "

"In order to suppress our tribe, the wolf rider will launch a siege on our tribe almost every few years."

She sighed, thinking of her she thought of her parents.

"I don't know if Father Khan is still living in their new home. They haven't heard from them for a while."

"correct"

She seemed to remember something suddenly: "Do you remember, there used to be a Mr. Han in the tribe."

Fang Jie naturally remembered, nodded.

"The mountain is so cold, but I do n’t know why, there will always be Han people. One will leave, and one will come again soon. Father Khan once speculated whether there is any secret in the mountain. The Han people pretended to stay in the tribe. The teaching of tribal education is actually a secret investigation. "

"What can I have?"

Seeing that Ning'er was sleepy, Sang Yue hugged him and patted him in his arms: "What can be hidden in the hundred thousand mountains?"

"do not know"

Wan Yan Yunshu shook his head: "Father Khan just speculated that our tribe is not like a Han practitioner who has great abilities, so there is no way to investigate the secrets of Dashan. However, the Han in our tribe, every other day Just leave, and come back in a month or two. So Father Khan guessed that he only regarded our tribe as a temporary home, because he needed to recharge to stay. "

Fang Jie pondered for a while, but couldn't think of what could be hidden in a cold place like 100,000 mountains.

"What if it's not a treasure?"

Suddenly Sang said, "What we have been thinking about is that the Han people in the Yunshu tribe passed from the Central Plains. But why can't they come out from the depths of the 100,000 Mountains? Perhaps a long time ago, There are practitioners who have been there and feel that there is no dispute over the world, so they stay for hard work. But they do n’t want to live in isolation, so they send people to inquire about the news from time to time. The Han in the Yunshu tribe may be ten The practitioners in the Mt.Wandashan sent out to observe the sentinels in the outside world. "

"sentinel?"

Fang Jie repeated it once ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ and smiled.

Mulberry's statement is a bit strange, but the possibility is actually very small.

"That person is not high."

The solution said.

Mulberry said: "Natural cultivation is not high. Do people who are high cultivation become sentries? If I guess, they are also sent disciples, and they are not the best disciples. This kind of chore, naturally It ’s the less-promising disciples under the door, or they just do n’t like it. ”

"anyway."

Fang Xie said, "If you can bear the suffering, the 100,000 Mountain is really a good place to practice. There is the purest and no one disturbs it. If it is as expected, maybe there is something extraordinary in the 100,000 Mountain. Practitioners. "

After Fang Jie said this, something suddenly flashed in his head, but he still didn't catch it.

He always felt that he had overlooked something.
