AWB Chapter 317 Entering the Valley
Chapter 317 Entering the Valley
The Qinling Mountains stretch over a thousand kilometers from east to west and more than two hundred kilometers from north to south.
The main mountain range has continuous ridges with an average height of nearly four thousand meters.
He single-handedly divides the north and the south, causing the cold and heat to flow separately!
On both sides of the mountain range, there are many places where dragons rise and the royal aura is overflowing.
Tianshui, Baoji, Xi'an, Weinan and Luoyang are all located north of the Qinling Mountains.
Longnan, Hanzhong, Ankang, Nanyang and other important cities are located south of the mountains.
The two cities of Xi'an and Luoyang constitute an almost complete ancient history.
Western Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Western Han Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Xinmang Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Former Zhao Dynasty, Former Qin Dynasty, Later Qin Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty.
The capitals of these thirteen dynasties were all established in Xi'an, and a total of 74 emperors ruled here in history!
Luoyang is also known as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties.
Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, Tang Dynasty, Later Tang Dynasty, Wu Zhou Dynasty, Later Liang Dynasty, and Later Jin Dynasty.
They all established their capitals here.
Although it is slightly inferior to Xi'an in terms of historical significance and status, it is still the best in the whole of China.
The Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are not included in this list, also due to some geographical reasons.
According to legend, after Liu Bowen cut off all the dragon veins in the world, there was no more yellow and purple energy in the Central Plains.
Therefore, the Qinling Mountains are known as the first dragon vein in China, and it is not a false reputation.
It is also because of this that most of the tombs of the rich and noble in the Qinling Mountains were built before the Yuan Dynasty.
Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong got Kang Daman drunk with a little sorghum before they got the old man to speak.
It is said that two princes of the Tang Dynasty are buried in Hulu Valley, about ten miles north of their Huaishu Valley.
However, the Hulu Valley is not something that ordinary people can enter.
Valley-shaped terrain generally gathers moisture, so the climate is humid and hot.
In this environment, wild grass and trees grow more luxuriantly than in other places.
Snakes and insects also like shade and moisture, so what many farmers say about some large tombs being often guarded by large and scary pythons does seem to be somewhat logical.
In addition, Kang Daman told Zhong Yuemin and others that the most important thing in that valley was the large number of wild bees.
When people inquire about these things, what they worry about and fear the most is definitely the giant snakes and pythons that are passed down from mouth to mouth and become more and more exaggerated.
On the contrary, they don't care much about these wild bees.
But in fact, it is just the opposite. The number of people who die at the hands of wild bees may be much greater than those who die at the mouths of poisonous snakes and pythons.
There is a small stream next to Huaishugou Village, and the source of the stream seems to be in Hulu Valley.
Over the years, during the rainy season, some things like painted pottery and porcelain would occasionally be washed down by the water. Although they were all fragments, these things were indeed exquisitely made. Even these remnants were enough to shock them.
When Kang Daman said this, he spoke to Zhong Yuemin and Zheng Tong with a tone full of regret.
"If you two had come here a few years ago, you might have seen some. In the past two years, no one dares to keep these things!"
Zhong Yuemin also felt it was a great pity.
He no longer had the same bitter and resentful attitude towards these objects as before.
After following Ning Yuan for so long, I have been able to eat and drink better and better. Isn’t it all thanks to these things?
Zhong Yuemin listened attentively to what Kang Daming said, and gradually he began to have some thoughts of his own.
To be frank, Zhong Yuemin himself doesn’t really like these things.
But he knew that his buddy Ning Yuan must like these things, so he gradually began to think about finding out.
After listening to Kang Daman's story, Zheng Tong didn't take it seriously and went back to sleep at night.
But Zhong Yuemin couldn't sleep. With the treasure right next to him, how could he ignore it?
Besides, he was tired of this boring life where he had to go to the fields to reclaim land as soon as he opened his eyes and eat and sleep after dark.
Given his personality, he had long wanted to find something exciting and interesting to do.
Originally, he had no specific direction, but after hearing what Kang Daman said today, Zhong Yuemin instantly became motivated.
After thinking about it all night, Ning Yuan gathered all his friends together early the next morning.
Zheng Tong's small body really suffers every day. He can only carry things with his shoulders but not with his hands. He works in the fields every day and has become haggard and listless.
That morning, after hearing Zhong Yuemin calling his group of buddies to come over for a meeting, he walked over with his head hung down and looked sleepy.
When Zhong Yuemin saw that everyone was present, he didn't beat around the bush. After all, they were all brothers and there was nothing to hide.
After telling everyone his thoughts directly, as expected, he got unanimous approval from many of his friends.
However, this large group of male educated youth had to take leave and not go to work, and it was impossible for them to hide this from Kang Daman no matter what.
After Zhong Yuemin raised this question, Zheng Tong instantly became energetic and confidently issued a military order to Zhong Yuemin.
"Yuemin, leave this matter to me. I guarantee that Kang Daman won't come to work with us!"
Zhong Yuemin looked at Zheng Tong's eyes rolling around under his glasses, and knew that he had thought of some good trick, so he simply didn't ask him any more questions.
"Okay, then Zheng Tong, you go deal with Kang Daman. We brothers should bring all our weapons, preferably some long ones!"
After arranging Zheng Tong to deal with Kang Daman, Zhong Yuemin began to instruct the rest of his buddies.
After all, we are going to the deep mountains and forests, and according to Kang Daman, it is quite scary.
Although Zhong Yuemin and his gang were extremely bold, they did not relax their necessary caution and preparations at all.
After they wrapped themselves in heavy clothes and prepared triangular scrapers, short knives and other things, some of them even directly connected these things to long wooden sticks.
Zheng Tong finally ran back from the village chief's house, panting.
What made Zhong Yuemin overjoyed was that Zheng Tong not only arranged for them not to go to work today, but also brought back two homemade shotguns for them.
Seriously speaking, if this kind of gun were to come out on a normal day, Zhong Yuemin probably wouldn't even give it a second glance.
Because this gun has a short range and is difficult to load, although it has strong lethality at close range and can kill a large area with one shot, it is ultimately a bit useless for hunting.
It has no accuracy and no range, so it is just useless.
But today they are not going hunting, but to explore the valley, so this guy will come in handy.
Whether it's dealing with snakes, insects, or wild bees, this thing can spray a large area, and it's absolutely a good tool for close-range defense.
Looking at these two local spray guns, Zhong Yuemin's confidence increased!
(It's the weekend today, and I have too many clients. I don't have time to slack off and write. I'll update two chapters first and make up for it tomorrow! Go to bed early, brothers!)
