The Sacred Ding Chapter 281: Lucheng

Lucheng is located on the eastern edge of the Pinglu Oasis. It is said that thousands of years ago this side was also a vast Gobi Desert, with rough gravel everywhere, and it is not directly connected to the Pinglu Oasis.

In the deep ridge of Wushaoling, there was a **** deer who practiced the Tao. One day, he saw the criminals who had been put down by the mainstream of the ancient Qiang kingdom living in hardship, and the south gate was like a sword and a halberd. The steep cliffs kicked away, allowing a stream in the deep mountains to flow out from the deep mountain old forest south of Lucheng.

This is the formation of the legendary Lu River; and the Lu River finally did not merge into the Pinglu Sea to the west. From the steep north **** of Wushaoling, it flows more than 100 miles to the north due to the large amount of water infiltration and loss. Cut off.

Although the Lu River did not join the Pinglu Sea, it was so close to each other that the newly bred oasis on both sides of the Lu River quickly joined the Pinglu Oasis to the west.

In order to commemorate this sacred deer, later generations built a city on the banks of the Lu River and named it Lucheng.

Deer City is the first city to enter the Pinglu Oasis from the Xixia Corridor. Although it was completely destroyed in the war two decades ago, in the past two decades, business travel has become more prosperous and quickly Rebirth.

Chen Hai led his horse out of a sand crest. From a distance, the Lucheng built with black sandstone looked like a giant black beast lying in front of the gentle **** on the west bank of the Lu River.

The steep **** of Wushaoling North Mountain is more than one thousand meters high, like a huge blue-black barrier, lying more than a hundred miles south of Lucheng. Chen Hai has amazing eyesight at this time, and he can even clearly see Luhe from Wuqiaoling. The situation of rushing out of the cliff of North Mountain

Wushaoling Mountain stretches for 16,000 miles from east to west, borders Tieliuling to the east and Dajin Mountain to the west. There are dangerous mountain roads and poisonous miasma everywhere. The north **** of Wushaoling Mountain is particularly steep, with peaks tens of thousands of meters high, high cliffs and dangerous rocks, making it difficult for birds to cross.

Even if the Luhe River flows out of the Shixiakou of Wuqiaoling Mountains, it is two to three kilometers high. Looking at it from a distance, the rushing out of the river is like several silver chains two to three kilometers long on the north **** of the stone cliff. Drained from time to time.

Chen Hai did not rush into Lucheng. After crossing the sand crest, he rode a horse along the Luhe towards the northern **** of Wuqiaoling.

There are often business travelers who will go to Lukai Gorge to watch the spectacular sight of the waterfall overflowing thousands of feet. Chen Hai is just an ordinary young man riding a thin horse in front of the guards of Lucheng.

After Zhang Xiongzhu killed Ye Chentian father and son, after the king was proclaimed himself the lord of the country, although Zhang did not send troops to block the road east of Lucheng, the situation is so tense that Pinglu's Shangzhou will not lose money and people. The risk of going to Hexi hastily; business travelers in Hexi will not make fun of their own heads. At this time, they cross the Xixia Corridor and enter the Pinglu Oasis.

However, Lucheng, which claimed neutrality in this chaos, is still gathering a large number of business travelers, waiting for the situation to calm down as soon as possible, so that they can embark on the journey again before the winter, in order to save the goods accumulated this year , And sent to Hexi, sold to various warehouses.

So it's not surprising that one or two young people on a lone ride occasionally haunt Lucheng.

Chen Hai took a horse and walked to the bottom of Lukai Gorge. At this time, he saw Luhe pouring down from Qianzhang Gorge, forming a huge pond of thousands of acres at the foot of the mountain, and you can even feel the hanging river Spectacular.

It's a pity that the giant lake is surrounded by shallow stone ridges with sparse trees. The water overflows from the mouth of the gorge in the north to form the main channel of the Lu River, but it is a pity that there are bottomless sand layers on both sides of the Lu River. , The river with plenty of water only stretched for more than a hundred miles and disappeared in the depths of the desert.

Of course, it is precisely because of the slightly higher terrain of the Luhe and Pinglu Lakes, and a large amount of river and lake water seeping into the ground, the slightly lower Montenegro will pass through the underground river and have a large number of springs.

Unfortunately, it is not a simple matter to accurately survey the underground river water veins. Otherwise, it is possible to artificially cultivate an oasis corridor between Montenegro and Pinglu Oasis by drilling a deep well instead of Let Montenegro hang alone outside the Pinglu Oasis.

The landscape of the hanging waterfall at the source of the Luhe River is so magnificent. Before Chen Hai, there were many people who went out of the city to view the scenery here, and some even tried to climb the cliffs to see the wonders at Shixiakou.

From Lukai Gorge, it is roughly divided into three sections of rock cliffs, each of which is 700 to 800 meters high, with waterfalls splashing and flowing, and the rock cliffs are wet and slippery. Although you have the background in the middle and late stages of the Tongxuan Realm, you can try to climb such a high rock cliff, but the terrain at this time is intricate, and from time to time a whirlwind of extremely strong wind is produced. At this time, it is necessary to have the cultivation level of the Spirit Realm. , In order to withstand such a strong whirlwind, firmly attached to the rock wall.

Should unfortunately be rushed by the current of the whirlwind, the Wu Xiu of the Spiritual Realm will most likely fall to pieces.

Therefore, most people ran to the bottom of the cliff and saw the waterfalls and stone pools. Only those who have not cultivated more than the spiritual realm of Xuanxiu and Wuxiu, can protect themselves from the wind in front of the waterfall. From the start, fly to the mouth of the gorge to watch the wonders within the Lukai Gorge.

At this time, three young people were climbing on the moss-covered stone wall next to the waterfall, carefully avoiding the water column swept by the whirlwind, using their hands and feet to climb to the estuary, and seeing their cultivation level would lead to the middle stage of the Profound Realm. The later stage.

"These guys are really newcomers who are not afraid of tigers. They don't know how to stop if they don't fall their arms or legs." Several travelers under the cliff couldn't help shaking their heads when they saw this scene.

Chen Hai smiled slightly, thinking that it was him, even if he only had the cultivation base of the Tongxuan Realm, he could not help but climb up to see such a spectacle.

Chen Hai took the black and thin old horse that was finally picked out from Montenegro to a Populus euphratica tree by the lake, and moved his awkward-looking suitcase to his back. He also stepped on it through his predecessors. Step by step to the three thousand-meter-high Lukai Gorge.

This scene caused many visitors under the waterfall to shake their heads, seeming to believe that Chen Hai is another self-defeating brat who will not easily challenge the natural dangers of the gorge unless he suffers.

Chen Hai did not want to expose his cultivation. Even without using the slightest amount of true energy, climbing the cliff of two or three kilometers is a breeze. Following the three young people, step by step, he quickly climbed to Lukai Gorge. ; But in the eyes of others, there are still a few more thrilling, but he is lucky enough to avoid the past without danger.

Exactly as Chen Hai thought, on the other side of Lukai Gorge, there is a hanging lake with a radius of four to five thousand acres.

The weather in the Pinglu Oasis is colder than that in the interior of Yanzhou. The grass and trees will wither after autumn. The terrain of Lukaixia is more than 3,000 meters higher than the flat land. The weather is even colder and the distant mountains are covered. The snow and ice that has not melted over the years has already begun to move slowly halfway towards the top of the mountain. For about a month or so, Lukaixia will also be covered by snow and ice.

By then, it will be another scene.

Chen Hai climbed Lukai Gorge alone, but he didn't make a special trip to enjoy the scenery.

The conditions for the formation of placer lake mud are very special. First of all, there must be a large number of shallow metal veins upstream.

After years of weathering, the superficial rock layers of the veins are crushed into gravel, transported by streams and rivers, and intercepted and enriched by special terrains to form lake mud rich in metal placers.

In Jinyan Zhuzhou, shallow metal veins are very rare; this kind of special river terrain that is located downstream of shallow metal veins and is advantageous for intercepting and enriching placers is rare; even more rare is such special The river course needs to be stable for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years without frequent changes, which is even more rare.

The Tianxuan Lake in the upper reaches of the Luhe River is very similar to Juquanling in many aspects; and regardless of whether this stone gorge is like the legend, let a cultivating giant deer kick a hoof away , But it can be inferred from many existing legends that this hanging lake has a history of stable existence for more than six thousand years.

In the past six thousand years, the hanging lake has not been filled up by a large amount of upstream alluvial deposits, which only shows that this side of the hanging lake was a very deep rift six to seven thousand years ago.

It’s just whether this Tianxuan Lake is like Juquanling. There are many weathered shallow metal veins on both sides of the upstream river. Chen Hai has not been able to organize manual surveys one by one, but he only needs to sneak into the bottom of the lake. , Can still be easily verified.

There is nothing to see from the shallow lake bottom silt. The density of gold-quenched placer deposits is extremely high. Even if it accumulates at the bottom of the hanging lake, you need to continue digging down from the bottom of the lake to a depth of two to three hundred meters to find it. .

Chen Hai came here alone, just to verify this.

Yip's is eager to restore the country and does not want time to continue to delay.

Ye Qinglin worries that once Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other rebels are allowed to fully control all the cities of the Pinglu Oasis, even if they have the support of the Dong Clan in Hexi, it will be even more difficult to restore the country; he hopes to be refined The Protectorate of Absolute Capital can dispatch troops as soon as possible, even if it is occupying one or two cities on the edge of the Pinglu Oasis and forming a stalemate with the rebels, it can also prevent all the clans of the West Qiang State from investing in Zhang Xiong, Kong Peng and other dogs. thief.

Ye Qinglin has reason to think so. Chen Hai promised that the Jing Jue Army could send troops to occupy a city on the edge of the Pinglu Oasis to contain the rebels, but it needs to be a condition. He requested that the occupied city should be placed in the future. Jingjue Duhu Fu is under the jurisdiction.

Montenegro is too barren. Without the strong support of Hexi, it is impossible to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Chen Hai hopes to occupy one more city on the edge of the Pinglu Oasis cannot be considered excessive; while the Pinglu Oasis There are more than forty cities, in order to return to the country as soon as possible, so as to avoid long nights and dreams, Ye Qinglin also agreed.

However, whether the first city captured by the Jing Jue army was Lucheng or not, Chen Hai needs to visit this Tianxuan Lake in person to confirm~IndoMTL.com~ They can segregate a city on the edge of the Pinglu Oasis , Is already the limit that Ye Qinglin and Ye clan can promise, this city can't choose a chase.

Chen Hai untied the suitcase with a few valuable clothes and the old gray robe he was wearing outside, stuffed it into a cliff, and put on a short-breasted gown next to him, ready to dive into the bottom of the lake. Check it out.

"This Xiongtai, although climbing the deer to open the gorge, everyone has the urge to swim in the Xuanhu Lake this day, but the Xuanhu Lake is connected with the stream in the depths of Wushaoling. There are no strong water beasts dormant, please Xiongtai to think twice!” Seeing Chen Haizhi jump into the lake, and the three young people who boarded Lukaixia before him, one of them had a beard on his face. The man shouted, kindly reminding Chen Hai not to dive into the lake easily.

Chen Hai smiled in his heart, turned his ears to pretend to be silly, and pretended to hear what the opposite guy was saying.

On this day, by the lakeside, even in the dead of night, there will be tourists coming to enjoy the scenery, and these three young people are now untying the bags they brought with them, taking out the wine and meat seats, and putting them on the ground. Who knew they were going to be in the lake? As long as he played, Chen Hai didn't have so much idle time, waiting to avoid everyone's eyes and ears, and then dive into the bottom of the lake to find out.
