After avoiding the blizzard, we set off again and rushed to find Anin and their horse team under a slope, as well as the mysterious snow mountain among the pictures of the seabed tomb, which suddenly appeared at the end of our vision.Just when we asked the guide how to get there, Shunzi shook his head and said that we could never pass.

"Why?" I wondered, and I said you didn't mean that these eight hundred miles of snowy mountains, did you go to each one?Why can't this one go again.

Shunzi explained: "That mountain is called Sansheng Snow Mountain (pseudonym). Only a very small part of this mountain is on our side. Above the snow line to that side, they are all on the border of North Korea. We can't get through it."

The fat man froze for a moment and asked, "Three Saints Snow Mountain? Was it the snow mountain that Volkswagen Volunteers built during the post-war lifeline when Commander Peng resisted the United States and aided the DPRK?"

Shunzi nodded and said, "Yes, that is the mountain, which is more than 2,400 meters above sea level. If you cross this mountain, it is the hilly area of ​​North Korea."

When I heard it, my heart broke.

The Sansheng Mountain, as a soldier or interested in modern Chinese history, knows that there are three borders that are the most sad in the world. One is India and Pakistan, the other is Israel and Lebanon, and the other is Sansheng Mountain. This border line is only 14 kilometers long.

In fact, China and North Korea have always been friendly countries, and people familiar with it all know that the western slope of Changbai Mountain can easily cross the border without too many checkpoints. When the forest area of ​​Changbai Mountain in China was depressed around 96, Many people often cross the border to dig a kind of Chinese herbal medicine called "Alpine Rhodiola" to make money. Although the Korean soldiers also caught, but the Chinese ran away, fought guerrilla warfare, and many who came to steal the herbs with tobacco and alcohol, You can use alcohol and tobacco to get away even if you catch it, so for a while, this border line in Xipo has survived.

However, this section of the Sansheng Mountain is still tightly sealed. No one knows the reason. It is said that this section is the old border between China and North Korea. Above the snow line is the North Korean border. During the anti-US and aid North Korea period, it was a fast transportation strategy The materials entered North Korea, and a lot of temporary strategic passages and underground fortifications were built in the mountains. Both parties can quickly send troops through these passages, so it is not possible to prevent them strictly.

At present, our food reserves do not allow us to bypass the borders at very high altitudes. The only way to catch up with the progress is to go straight through the border between Sansheng Mountain and the border between China and North Korea and then into the snow top.

Then our troubles are not the mysterious and mysterious tricks and dumplings, but the very real bullets of the Type 81 automatic rifle and the regular army with fewer rows and more companies.

Several other people were more or less aware of the situation of Sansheng Mountain, and they all looked sad. We exchanged glances. What should we do next?

Pan Zi comforted us: "Don't worry, there must be a way to cross the border at the border. Shunzi, who had been a soldier here, must know that we can persuade him to take us over, and then just give him more money."

Speaking, I asked Shunzi. Unexpectedly, Shunzi shook his head firmly and said, "No, it's impossible. There are just a few roads that can go up there, all of them are Gaogang, a searchlight of 10 meters, from At the foot of the mountain is a military restricted area. Although there are not many people, the sentries are very dense. Not to mention crossing, you ca n’t even reach the whistle on our own side. The orders I received at the time of my service saw any strangers enter the field of vision , A shot will be fired into the sky to warn you immediately, if you do n’t retreat, the second shot will hit you directly in the leg, without a reason. "

The fat man asked: "So let's buy some fruit and bring it up, and pretend to be people to console?"

Shunzi smiled and said: "Boss, you too can tell jokes too, of course not. First, this is not a place where you can get fish mixed with water. Second, where to find fruits here. It's snowy and cold. suspicious."

The fat man snorted and said, "So what should I do? This broken line can't be killed? I don't believe, the Macedonian defense line has been broken through. This broken border line can still have a Macedonian defense line? You fucking Is n’t it too much money? Just say how much you need. "

Straight scratched his head with embarrassment: "Oh, this is not a question of money or money. If there is really a way, I will have trouble with money? You have to think of going to North Korea. I said earlier that I would not take you along this path. Now that I have come I do n’t know how to get here. "

Shunzi said there was no room for discussion. We were all a bit surprised, but this area is not rich, and crossing the border is not a big crime. If there is a way, Shunzi should not hide us.

The Chinese monk, who had no idea, walked around Chen Pi'a and asked the old man what he thought.

In fact, it is the question of whether to continue or go back. If you continue to walk, you must bypass the other frontier lines as Shunzi said. The time may be doubled, and you will have to go hungry to climb the mountain in the last few days.If you don't continue to walk, you will go back to trimming and come back again, that is to say, you have been crawling in vain for a few days, and all kinds of hard work have been in vain.

I tend to go on my own. I do n’t know the purpose of the urgent action of the third uncle. Aning and their team have put a lot of pressure on me. I want to see that the third uncle is finished soon.Of course, I had such an idea at the time, but I was completely unaware of the pain of climbing snow mountains in hunger.

Chen Pi'a sighed, and apparently did not encounter such a trouble. This old Changsha handle in Changsha only covered the sky in his own line. He dared to do anything to kill and set fire, but when he encountered Things on the official side are entangled, so it is said that the poor do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not compete with the official. He thought for a long time and did not speak, and the brows became tighter.

I was a little anxious. I glanced at the oil bottle and wanted to ask his opinion, but he did not participate in our discussion at all. He just looked at the snowy mountains in the distance and did n’t know what to think, as if all this had nothing to do with him. .

To discuss, to discuss, all of a sudden, no one can come up with a way. While trying to do nothing, Ye Cheng on the side called us.

We stopped talking, looked down the mountain, and found that Anin's horse team began to move forward again, looking at the direction of their departure. The goal is undoubtedly the three holy mountains.

Many materials have been unloaded immediately and discarded randomly in the snow, probably to reduce weight and speed up the action. The snow under the mountain looks like a wolf.

Ye Cheng said strangely, "Strange, don't these guys know that the front is the border line? What do their guides eat? To be really like Shunzi said, carrying so many weapons in the past, it's not for people to practice live ammunition shooting ?"

I shook my head to say that it was impossible. I know that their company ’s habits certainly have local guides, and perhaps more than one. Such professional private investigation companies are best at research and public relations. The form they understand here is definitely clearer than ours, and Certainly, a fixed line was set before coming, and will not be changed easily.

The fat man doubted Junko's business ability and asked him how to explain it.He didn't know if there was a way that others knew.

Shunzi narrowed his eyes and said, "There is only one possibility to walk this way, that is, they want to go from the mountain pass in front to other mountains, and then bypass that section of the border, and then turn to Sansheng Mountain in North Korea. The risk is It ’s also big, but it ’s much better than impacting the frontier line. Their team is bigger than us, if they have enough food, or if the North Koreans get through the joints, they do have the strength to make long journeys. ”

"What should I do? Do you want to keep up with them?" Ye Cheng turned and asked Chen Pi Asi.

Chen Pi'a shook his head without speaking, and suddenly pointed to the other side, a snowy hill on the edge of Sansheng Mountain, and asked Shunzi: "What mountain is that?"

Shunzi took up the telescope and looked at it, saying: "That's Xiaosheng Snow Mountain, which mountain is in our country, and Sansheng Mountain and Xiaosheng Mountain, plus there is Dasheng Mountain on that side, commonly known as the Five Saints. "

Chen Pi Asi asked again: "From here, can you go up to this little holy mountain?"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone was stunned. They didn't know what the old man wanted to do. Shunzi was a bit strange. He said: "The problem is no, it will be here in a day, and where it is far from the sentry post, the scenery is good, but the road is not too good Good to go. "

Chen Pi'a patted the snow on his pants four times, stood up, and said to Shunzi: "OK, just take us wherever we want."

Everyone was puzzled, and the Chinese monk immediately reminded: "What's the matter? Father, going there is a waste of time. We haven't been able to sustain food for so long--"

Chen Pi'a waved his hand and pointed to the mountain range on one side, saying: "The mountain stretches here, and it is a rare three-headed old dragon. It is a rare three-headed old dragon. 'Dragon sitting', these three mountains are all dragon heads, very suitable for group burial, if this temple is on the cliff of Sansheng Mountain in the middle, there are two little dragon heads over there, there should be queens or near Cheng Burial mausoleum. "

The pattern of the three-headed dragon is very peculiar. The three heads must be connected. Otherwise, the three dragons will fly in the sky, and the dragon will have no direction and will be in a mess. The children buried here will be killed by brothers, so if there is a tomb tomb, under the tomb There will inevitably be a secret path that communicates with the main mausoleum of the Middle Temple.

There are many ancient tombs of three-headed dragons in history. For example, the burial of the three sons of the Warring States Period of the Meng Mountain excavated in 1987 is three related ancient tombs divided into three hills in the same mountain range and two ancient tombs on both sides. Originally, there were tunnels with a diameter of about half a meter leading to the main tomb in the middle. Unfortunately, when they were excavated at that time, these tunnels had collapsed. The archaeological team did not know whether these tunnels were really connected or just a symbolic decoration.

We looked in his hand and saw that the three snow-capped mountains lay at the end of the sky and the earth, no difference from the surrounding snow-capped mountains, and I didn't know where Chen Pi's judgment came from.

After Chen Pi'a finished speaking, he glanced at the dull oil bottle and asked him, "Brother, am I right?".

The dull oil bottle reacted to other people's questions and looked back at Chenpi Asi, but said nothing, and turned back to continue looking at the snowy mountains in the distance.

We do n’t even understand big-headed feng shui. In the clouds and fog, I feel a little mysterious in my heart, but since the old man said so, the stuffy oil bottle seems to agree, so this set is best not to doubt.

When we went down to the place where Anin had stayed under the mountain, we saw that the abandoned luggage was scattered in the snow, and many of them were stolen, and there was no food left.Obviously all equipment has been re-screened, and some useless or duplicated things have been discarded.

The fat man even found a few guns, but the bullets inside were removed and taken away. There was only an empty gun body. The fat man got the gun and took a hand and wanted to take it away. He was stopped by the straight and said You are carrying a gun, and if you encounter a border guard here, you will not be able to speak. If you don't have a gun, it's a pity to find out that he can help us get through.

After the flat ramp where Anin stayed under the mountain, behind the valley, we saw the Anin Horse's footprint extending towards the depths of the valley.

We also reorganized here, and Junzi took us to Xiaosheng Mountain Pass in the other direction.Soon, we walked into a white world. What we saw with our eyes was snow without sky, and bare rocks and ice cones that were rarely seen.

Changbai Mountain may be the only snow mountain in the world that can go up. Compared with the glaciers of Kunlun Mountain, the environment is much better. There is no huge ice sheet with cracks. Do n’t worry about the sudden break of the foot, but the glaciers of Changbai Mountain are also typical. Ancient glaciers, mountain continuity is not good, what ice erosion landforms, mortar caves, giant ice buckets, bottomless ice wells, anyway, I have not learned the snow mountain landforms well, I ca n’t tell the truth, I only know that often There is no way ahead when walking. The cliff is so huge that you have to walk around or lie on it.

There was no words all the way, it seemed that the straight line distance that was reached in a few hours, we actually walked for almost a day.When it reached the valley below Xiaosheng Snow Mountain, it was already the evening of the day.

We camped in a snow cave on a snow slope of about five or six hundred meters above the valley and ate something hot. The starry sky at high altitude was extremely bright and clear. Chen Pi'a used the compass to match the astronomical compass and the sky in my heart. The constellation of stars roughly sets the course for the next day.

The people who walked all the way were sleepy and tired, but it was early in the morning, and the fat man wrapped around the straight, asking if there was a hot spring around him.

Shunzi also remembered the hot springs, but he said that the altitude here was too high, and he did n’t come often. It was a little difficult to find the hot springs. If he was bored, he could go around and look around. The place where the ice is buried is more than a kilometer away from where we camped.

Those who are fighting always have a special feeling for the corpse, anyway, idle is also idle, we are curious to hear that there are dead people.

Chen Pi'a's physical strength was no longer enough, and the Chinese monk took care of him. The others followed Shunzi to the valley on the left side of the camp. After walking for less than half an hour, he came to a cliff. Below is the ice valley. I can't see it either.

Straight found a good place to stop, hit a cold firework and dropped it.

I saw that in the ice layer at the bottom of the ice valley, there were many black shadows curled up into a ball, dense and dense, some could clearly see the shape of the person, some left only small black spots, around the ice valley, and even Some traces of sacrifice.

Shunzi said that ice burials were popular among the villagers in ancient mountains. At the beginning of liberation, there were still people buried in this ice cliff, so there are sometimes some old people coming here to worship.The glaciers here are thickening year by year, so if you look at the innermost corpse, the little spots that are almost indistinct, I am afraid they have a history of thousands of years, and the outermost ones are decades.

I roughly counted the black spots that I could see, and found thousands of them. Obviously this frozen cemetery had not known how many dead people had accumulated in the thousands of years, like this ice valley, the small holy valley There should be, is this snow mountain not just an extra large grave mountain?

"Among these bodies, will there be Dongxia slaves at the time when the Ling Palace was built?" The fat man suddenly asked.

"Guaranteed not to have." The dull oil bottle looked deep into the ice valley, gradually dim cold light, do not know what to think.

The body was buried in the ice, and it was impossible to dig. We looked around and found it tasteless, and went to find the hot spring again, but we found a small one for us. Several people washed their feet and face in the hot spring, and they were all warm. He returned to the camp and said the situation. The Chinese monk said that he was envious.

On the snowy mountains, it is strange to say that people are sleepy when they are warm. People are also sleepy when they are freezing. Their supper is noodles. After eating, sleepiness strikes, and the wind blows outside. We all went into sleeping bags early to rest. Shunzi is guarding the first shift. We have a lot of people, and we don't need to rotate people in one day. Today's rotation is Shunzi, Lang Feng and Pan Zi.

I was very tired, and soon fell asleep. I thought I could sleep a sweet night, but I did n’t expect to sleep for an hour. Chinese monk, fat man, Lang Feng, Pan Zi began to snore at the same time, one after another, just like a symphony , I woke up in a nightmare.

This time I couldn't sleep anymore, lying down and feeling uncomfortable. I climbed out of the tent and said to Shunzi that I would change with you. I will come to your class and go to sleep first.

Shunzi is smoking there, looking at the huge black mountain in the moonlight, dazed. Hearing that I want to change shifts and shake my head, saying no, I took our money, which is not good,

I said to myself that you just took out the smoke and went out to ask him to borrow a fire, and then started chatting with him while adding some fuel to the stove.

Chatting with the guide is a very insightful thing. I told him a lot of antiques. He was very interested. He also told me a lot of local customs and interesting things in the forest. I did n’t feel sleepy at all. , The more the two people talk, the more spiritual.

Later, I talked about this expedition. Shunzi told me that he was a border guard for seven years, but he was a reserve soldier for four years. Before he was a soldier, he was collecting herbs, so he was very familiar with Snow Mountain. His comrades-in-arms They call it "Alangcai", which means the son of Snow Mountain.So we can rest assured that following him, like the mountain here, there are not many people who can bring people in. He is one of them.

I doubted it in my heart, and I said why did you faint before you entered the mountain? This must be bragging, but looking at what he said is serious and meaningless to dismantle his desk, he listened to what he said.

Chatting and chatting, the topic has increased, and the distance between us feels closer. At this time, Shunzi suddenly asked me: "Boss Wu ... Actually, what are you doing in the mountains, can you tell me?"

When I heard it, I was shocked. I didn't know how to answer it at once, and the two of them calmed down again.

Our purpose, how can I say that I came to Genting Heaven Palace, can you believe it?It's not good to say that you came to steal the tomb. It's not easy to say that the tourist is not. It's really hard to say. I thought for a long time and finally sighed: "Why don't you care about this, I can't say."

Junko seemed to anticipate that I would answer that, and smiled: "It's okay, I just asked casually."

I felt uncomfortable in my heart, because I didn't want to lie to him, so I changed a topic casually and talked about other things. I asked him if he used to gather herbs before, why did he become a snow mountain guide later.

Gathering herbs in Changbai Mountain is very profitable, and it is much more comfortable than making such a thankless guide. Now there are so few Snow Mountain guides, which is also the reason.

Shunzi glanced at me and suddenly said something that almost made me vomit blood.

He said: "I am not a professional guide. I have been collecting herbs after I retired. It is rare to take people uphill a few times, and I won't go so deep. I usually turn back on the girl's lake. This is my first time to bring a team Come in."

I laughed: "Stop joking."

"Really, Mr. Wu, I tell the truth, this season, no professional guide will take you into the snowy mountains. If I don't bring you in, you will only come in." He smiled at me: "It's too dangerous, if it's not a Bodhisattva. Bless, in fact, we are dead. It is already a miracle to be able to arrive here without any shortage. But you do n’t have to worry. Although I have n’t brought anyone in, I have traveled many times. . "

His expression of expression was very serious, and it was not a joke at first sight."Then it is so dangerous, do you still bring us? Are you so short of this money?"

Straight looked at me meaningfully and said, "Money is also a factor. There is another reason ... It was because of my father, he ... disappeared ten years ago, when he also brought a group of people into the snowy mountains, It is similar to the route you are going to take, but in the end the whole group of people disappeared in the mountains. I vaguely remember that the tourists who were looking for him at that time were very similar to your dress. They were also in winter, and they had to go up the mountain. , So when I saw you, I suddenly felt that I must follow you. Once I do n’t want you to die like my father, and secondly, I have a very naive idea. Maybe your purpose of going into the mountains, It ’s the same as the group of people a decade ago, maybe I can know what happened to my father. Of course, this is just my speculation. ”He smiled self-deprecatingly:“ My father may just meet After the avalanche, it was buried in this snowy mountain. "

I realized: "So you asked us the purpose of going into the mountain ...?" Shunzi nodded embarrassedly: "Hey, you don't understand, the kind who knows his father is sleeping in this snowy mountain, but can't see a feeling of."

I didn't expect Shunzi's heart to be so delicate, and I couldn't help but look at it a bit. I used to think that he was just an ordinary tour guide with a slick tongue.

But the tourists who disappeared into the snowy mountains ten years ago look very similar to us. Did they come to Genting Temple?I groaned in my heart, but then rejected my thoughts again, no, it's impossible, there are too many places in Changbai Mountain where one can go missing, there can't be such a coincidence, his father may have encountered something He was killed in the mountain by accident.

Shunzi saw me not talking, thinking that the question I asked just now was a bit excessive, and said to me: "Boss Wu, I think you are different from others, so I told you this, I hope you don't talk about these things. People say, I'm afraid they will have concerns. "

I said to myself that I would definitely not say that you brought people here for the first time, not to mention how Chen Pi Asi would treat you, and fat people might kill you.

So he nodded and agreed. At this time, the second class of Lang Feng walked out of the tent and yawned. Seeing that the two of us were chatting, I was very surprised. Going to bed, Lang Feng and I had nothing to say, and greeted me back to bed.

In the deafening grunt, I was half awake and half awake. I dreamed about the situation where Shunzi's father ten years ago, a bearded Shunzi took a group of people up the mountain. Bizarrely, in my dreams, I always felt that those people Where have I seen it, tossing and turning, sleeping badly.

It was not bright the next day, and it started to follow the trend of the mountains and went up.

Judging from yesterday's problem with Shunzi, he should have known that we are not ordinary climbers. I know that we are not good at disguising. At the very least, no tourist will hurry so desperately, but we can't control it. Many, anyway, as a tour guide for Changbai Mountain, he has long been conscious of receiving various mysterious teams. Every year there are poachers, Korean pilgrims, and drug smugglers. There are not one thousand and eight hundred. Everyone has a secret. Let us guess what we are doing.

The road above the mountainside is even more difficult to walk. In many places, the road is slanted, and there are snow-covered mountains high above the head. It is very easy to avalanche and cannot speak loudly.The snow on the road is too thick. Thousands of years of snow are almost empty underneath. Sometimes people cover themselves in the snow at once, and they ca n’t get out without anyone ’s help. We can only use them carefully. The long ice cone hit the foot den little by little, as if walking in a minefield.

The fat man has the fastest foot distance, which is related to his previous experience in snow exploration. He walked to the front all the way. Because of the mountain reaction, our tongue began to numb. Except for Chen Pi Asi who accidentally changed the direction of travel, only four weeks left With a panting voice, the whole world seemed to be dead quietly.

After crossing the snow road on the mountainside, we walked into an icy zone with huge snow slopes on both sides. There is no sunshine all year round, and the snow is frozen. The slope of the mountain is getting more and more fighting, and the temperature is extremely low. Inside, we finally saw the dragon's head cave of Chen Pi'a Siding, a steep slope almost at an acute angle of sixty degrees to the mountain, covered with snow.

We continued upward, one by one, staggered as much as possible, and began to use the ice cone ice hammer to climb to that steep slope.

This small holy mountain is not among the sixteen peaks of Changbai, so we did not pay too much attention when we came, but it is not an unnamed small peak. This peak is far away from the opposite large holy peak, forming a valley in the middle, which stands on the three holy snow In front, like two guards guarding the gate, this scene is called the guard of the heaven guardian.

From the perspective of small feng shui, the two mountain tigers of Xianmen are eager to take advantage of the dragon plate. If they are not on the border between China and South Korea, there has always been continuous disputes.Along the way, even at my level, I can see the peculiar trend of the mountain range here, with a strong spirit of strength. We are more confident in the assumption that there is a mountain on the mountain.

Climbing steep slopes is different from walking, and the physical energy consumption is greater. Chen Pi'a climbed for a while, and his physical strength reached the limit, and he could no longer climb. Lang Feng had to carry the old man, and we walked more slowly.

After another three hours of trekking, we finally climbed onto the snow slope. At this time, I had completely lost my mind and completely relied on conditioned reflex to follow the fat man.

The fat man arrived first, as if he had reached the limit of physical strength. After stepping on the snow, he was a little unconscious. He stepped on the footprints and put on his hands and said to us: "This is for me Personally, it was only a small step, but for Touching Jin Xiaowei, it was a leap of his mother. "Then he lurched into the snow, motionless.

I almost collapsed, my legs began to soften involuntarily, people began to slide down, Pan Zi wanted to pull me up, but after a few pulls, I couldn't use any strength, and he himself fell to the ground.

I hit the snow with an ice pick, and then I caught myself, and the others fell to the ground one after another, gasping for breath and looking around.

This snow slope is a huge area, and there is almost no boundary between the left and the right. If there is no Chenpi A four-way guide, you will never feel anything special.The snow covered it was very flat, with only a few black bare rocks protruding.The Three Saints Snow Mountain is on our left side at this time. It is a lot closer than it was yesterday. The top of the Holy Mountain is covered with white snow. The entire huge mountain like a monster stands tall. The white-topped black rock is more obvious than the surroundings. The mountain peaks are even steeper. Due to the setting sun, a strange light blue mist envelopes the entire mountain. The fairy air is misty and the scenery is very shocking.

Ye Cheng gasped and said with emotion: "It's so beautiful. No wonder they said that Penglai Wonderland is not as good as Changbai. It's worth climbing for so long."

A few people are rough people, but they are all intoxicated by the beauty of the surrounding sunset, especially in this snowy mountain, the feeling of standing under the zenith is even more amazing.

Just when I wanted to take out the camera and take a picture of the scenery here, suddenly the fat man took a picture and let me look at him.

I looked in the direction of his fingers and saw that the stagnant oil bottle on one side had already kneeled down, toward the Sansheng Snow Mountain in the distance, and bowed his head very respectfully.The original expressionless face showed a faint, very sad expression.
