Mountains and seas close at hand

The tumbling air of the earth carried black soil and gravel, and hit the head and face.The black dragon woke up after sleeping for thousands of years in the Kunlun Mountains. It coiled around its body and engulfed Song Banyan in an instant.

Song Banyan closed her eyes tightly and curled up into a ball.The air of the earth roared around her, like an uncaged beast venting its anger.The pain of the impact of the gravel, the feeling of pressing against the pulling of the rope.The pressure on the body is getting heavier and heavier, how long can this climbing rope last?

Song Banyan's consciousness gradually blurred, and amidst the whistling sound of rolling sand and stones, she actually heard her own heartbeat.

so clear.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Every sound is confiding, talking about Song Banyan's forgotten memories.Those years that have been experienced, those old people who walked side by side...those pasts that should have been engraved in the heart, but were lost in the end.

who am I?

Song Banyan tried his best to open his eyes, looking at the blurred person ahead.It seemed to be a person, and it seemed to be a group of people.Sometimes clothed with Jingchai, sometimes dressed in embroidered clothes, sometimes dressed in feathers and yellow crowns, sometimes wearing armor and swords...

who are you?

Can't remember, can't see clearly...

I'm so sleepy... Let's go to sleep like this...

......

"Half smoke."

The hoarse voice, in Song Banyan's ears, was like an ethereal voice from the heavens.All kinds of phantoms in front of my eyes are also in my ears, just like the memories of flying around before death.

"Half smoke."

Song Banyan felt a slight itching on his face in a daze, and opened his eyes reluctantly, and saw the disheveled Bai Xunhua.She was stunned for a long time, so that Bai Xunhua was a little unnatural, and subconsciously raised the back of her hand to wipe her cheek.

Song Banyan couldn't help laughing, and said in a hoarse voice, "Beauty is in the bone but not in the skin."

Ji Bao rolled his eyes, it was rare that he didn't bother with her.

Bai Xunhua smiled, raised his head and said, "Look, Banyan."

Song Banyan followed her gaze and looked sideways——

The rising sun dyes the snow-capped mountains into a magnificent golden color.The sun spread along the time, shining into the valley little by little.When the first ray of sunlight fell, the huge bronze pillars were instantly radiant, and the treasures inlaid on them were shining brightly.Those elegant and delicate patterns are as vivid as living things.

In an instant, the flowers are in full bloom, and the beasts are flying.

The emperor led by Gao Guanbo leads warriors, drives horses, and drives long chariots.Trek through mountains and rivers, cross mountains and streams, cross quicksand, and fight fierce beasts.

The crown was lost, the sleeves were cut, and he was alone.Even the steeds and beasts that accompanied him for many years fell down one by one, but he never looked back, but trudged forward all the way.Finally, he walked through the vast wilderness shrouded in mist, and finally came to the place where his heart was in love.

A phoenix hovered above his head, and Lu Wu with nine tails stepped out of the mist to guide him.The colorful streamers of Wenyu trees on the side of the road are just like decades ago.Qin Yuan perched on the Shatang tree, and Tuli, who was dozing under the tree, opened his eyes, afraid that Lu Wu would not pounce on him.

As he walked further and further away, the path behind him was gradually covered by mist...

The waves of black soil continued to surge and climb, gradually submerging the bronze pillar and pulling it into the abyss of the Nine Nethernesses.It seems that such a fetish shouldn't be left in the world.

When the sun falls on every corner of the valley, the land has returned to level, and the snow-capped mountains in the distance are white and towering.The sky and white clouds are also lovely and ordinary.

Only the soft ground in the valley seemed to vaguely indicate that everything that happened was not a dream.

All adjectives seem pale and powerless.

Only the peaceful heart and boiling blood at this moment can tell a thing or two.

A group of people who survived the catastrophe sat on the mountain ridge and were fortunate to witness this magnificent scene.

"It's... miraculous." Ji Bao was stunned for a long time, and finally choked out a word.

Sato opened his mouth and said in a daze, "This mountain is also like Mount Asama."①

Chubb thought of his father who was buried in the mountains, and lay down on his back, covering his eyes with his hands.

Song Banyan pillowed on Bai Xunhua's lap.Watching a snowflake fall from the clear sky, listening to Manaski's pious chant.

The sky and the earth return to chaos, but they are also clear and distinct.All things return to silence, and they are bustling again.

so true.

Bai Xunhua pulled out the needle and asked softly, "Is it uncomfortable? Conditions are limited, so I have to transfuse whole blood."

Song Banyan blinked: "What is whole blood?"

Bai Xunhua smiled and said: "It seems that there is no rejection."

Ji Bao poked her shoulder with his hand, and said contemptuously, "Get up, Xunhua gave you a blood transfusion, so you are ashamed to lie down."

Song Banyan said to Bai Xunhua: "The current situation shows that small animals are very smart. If the relationship between the owners is too good, the pet will be jealous."

Ji Bao said angrily, "You are the little animal!"

The straight guys didn't understand, they just felt that the topics between the girls jumped too fast.

"Okay." Bai Xunhua had no choice but to speak out to maintain order, "Banyan, can you hold on? Everyone is injured and needs to see a doctor as soon as possible."

Song Banyan sat up slowly: "I'm fine, let's leave as soon as possible."

Everyone recalled the fear on the verge of life and death, and they were secretly afraid.Only Maowazi was clearly afraid: "My God, it's like a dream, it scared me to death! Now my whole body hurts..."

Ji Bao felt deeply that his little brother was embarrassing him, so he quickly kicked him: "Just scratch your skin a little bit, hurry up and pack your things."

Chubb couldn't help sighing, and said in a muffled voice, "This trip is a big loss...every time."

The money-greedy youth of a foreign race reluctantly picked up the remaining pot lid.I feel that the road to getting rich is farther than my hometown, and it is getting farther and farther away.

Tu Hao Bao has no such worries, he just feels that his adventure career has added glory.Happily humming the theme song dragonkeart of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Bai Xunhua helped Song Banyan walk down the mountain ridge, and Song Banyan felt that he was dropping dirt every step he took.She hooked Bai Xunhua's shoulder and said with a smile: "I am a wounded person, can I enjoy the treatment of the chief?"

As he was talking, he suddenly froze.The mountain ridge was empty, except for the remains of a few burnt tents.The horses and donkeys were frightened, and they didn't know where they went.

Chubb covered his arms, looked left and right, and said jokingly, "Fortunately, everything is lost, otherwise we wouldn't be able to take it away."

Maowazi nodded and agreed: "It's good to be alive. Hey, old man, I'll buy some good horses for you old man later, and the money for the donkey."

Manaschi said with a hearty smile: "The old horse and donkey will not be lost, they will chew the grass and go home by themselves."

Fortunately, their respective backpacks were still there, and everyone began to organize food and sundries.Song Banyan walked slowly to the side of the flying machine that no one cared about, Mo Ji turned his head and said to Ji Bao: "Brave student Ji Bao, this thing is too heavy."

Ji Bao threw the backpack over his shoulder, and gave her a bad mouthful: "You are a third-level disabled now, take care of yourself."

Song Banyan put his hands in his pockets, and it was rare that he didn't refute.Everyone hastily packed their luggage and couldn't wait to return home.Probably because of returning home like an arrow, a group of wounded people were not slow to leave.

As expected, I met horses and donkeys grazing leisurely halfway.Song Banyan saw that he could finally enjoy the treatment of a chief executive.It turned out that there was no saddle, so I had to rely on trekking poles honestly.

Ji Bao raised the tail of the drone, gloating and said, "Actually, you can ride without a saddle, even Song Daxian, I'm afraid you don't have the ability. Alas, it's a pity, a pity."

Song Banyan replied: "The Lame Immortal, do you want me to lend you your walking stick?"

Bai Xunhua looked around and said, "The terrain here is flat. Let's take a rest after lunch and continue our journey."

Of course everyone has no opinion.

There is a lot of food, and the lunch is extremely lively.Regardless of his arm injury, Manaschi played the Kumziqin and sang a cheerful tune:

Guest from afar,

Welcome to the yurt of the Kirgiz people,

Eat a sip of Shonupa, drink a sip of spore wine!

I play my beloved Kumuzin,

Sing happy songs.

Today is like a flower in full bloom,

Your future is brighter. "

Everyone clapped and hummed along, and the atmosphere was harmonious.Chubb was in high spirits and sang a wine song.After Sato finished singing, he smiled shyly: "Show your ugliness, to everyone, Song of the Four Seasons."

After he finished singing, everyone looked at Song Banyan.Song Banyan let go of the roasted pig's trotter in embarrassment, and said carefully, "How about I tell you a story?"

Ji Bao seized the opportunity and immediately laughed: "Come on, just say you can't sing, we won't laugh at you."

Manaski plucked the strings, and said with emotion: "We have a folk song called—accompanying your life and death, it is a Kumziqin. Xiao Song's story is accompanied by the lives of many people. and death."

Sato's choice of words: "I like, very much, the history that Dr. Song said."

"My level has risen really fast." Song Banyan said with a smile, "I have a great responsibility to make everyone busy in this crisis."

Ji Bao glanced at Bai Xunhua, couldn't help sighing in his heart, but took out a handful of silver coins from his pocket with a smile on his face: "Hey, it's not a waste of work." He said and distributed the silver coins to everyone: "Take them all, and be a commemorate."

Song Banyan held the silver coins and said with emotion: "Everyone is a little curious, right? These silver coins are actually not surprising, because the tomb belongs to Ali Arslan. It is the Khan who was killed by the Khotan coalition forces."

Ji Bao scratched his head and asked suspiciously, "Then, where's the bronze pillar?"

Song Banyan smiled and said nothing, Bai Xunhua said: "Is that King Zhou Mu's?"

Song Banyan nodded, and the others looked at each other in disbelief.

Song Banyan explained: "As I said before, this place has excellent Fengshui. It is a living dragon vein that draws the finishing touch, which is rare in the world. But it is so strange that this dragon vein was first pierced by someone, and then abruptly turned into a dragon pond. Furthermore, Tai Chi Halo is the place where the dragon's veins form acupoints, and if it is broken, it will be very dangerous. Even if there are differences in Fengshui techniques in different dynasties, it is absolutely impossible to break through the dragon's acupoints.

I didn't understand until I saw the tomb yesterday.

That kind of domed brick tomb originated in the Tang and Song dynasties.The size is not small, but there is no earthen monument.What's even more strange is that the detection imaging map shows that there is a bronze pillar buried under the bottom of the tomb.At that time, two words popped into my mind-disgust. "

Song Banyan uttered these two words loudly, but it's a pity that there are some historically blind people present.

Maowazi asked blankly: "Derived?"

Bai Xunhua tilted his head and asked, "Is your injury okay?"

Song Banyan pointed to his head: "Talking is distracting."

Ji Bao urged, "Say it quickly."

Song Banyan leaned on his backpack, looked at pairs of curious eyes, and coughed lightly with a sense of accomplishment.

At the end of 998, Khotan and the Guiyi Army joined forces to defeat the Kara Khan Army and killed their Khan Ali Arslan.

The eldest son of King Khan ascended the throne and sent Ali's nephew Yusufu to Central Asia to beg for help.Yusufu invited four imams from the holy city of Bukhara, including Muhyiddin, the holy descendant of Islam.He is a descendant of the Prophet Mu/ham/Mo/D who brought a large number of jihad fighters.

There were 15 troops on the Eastern Expedition. They came from Central Asia, crossed the Pamirs, and arrived in the Western Regions.

The war is brutal and frightening.Even if the mysterious guest set up the Yinlongtan, the injured Kunlun dragon vein could not protect Khotan.After a year of siege, the Jihad army from Central Asia broke through Khotan and burned the city.

The Khotanese did not surrender because of this, they retreated to the Kunlun Mountains for guerrilla warfare.The jihadist army pursued closely and followed into the continuous mountains.

The battle situation turned around here, as if there was a mysterious force protecting the people of Khotan.The crazy jihadist army finally discovered the secret of this mountain...

Zhou Tianzi had the custom of erecting pillars in front of his bedroom and temple.This is based on: "Kunlun has a copper pillar, which reaches into the sky, and it passes through Xuanji (Big Dipper), so-called Tianzhu." It evolved.

The Crusaders don't know what it is, but everything of pagans should be destroyed.After all—"People who believe! You must attack the disbelievers who are close to you, and make them feel your severity."②

In order to let the pagans know the severity of the true God, the jihadists decided to destroy this "weird" bronze pillar.

At this time, an imam/mu who is proficient in different arts offered a plan to kill three birds with one stone to the holy descendant Muhyiddin——

We should suppress it with great ceremony, and draw the heretics from the mountains to kill them.

We should destroy the dragon veins of Middle-earth and let their national fortune decline.

We should destroy Kara Khan's national fortune at the same time and remove obstacles on the road.

Yusufu proposed to the new Khan that he should use the corpse of the old Khan Ali, his uncle, to suppress the monster.For he already knew that the oppressors would also be unlucky.

This kind of ritual of using something to destroy luck is what Song Banyan said about the technique of being disgusted with victory.

The new King Khan is not very willing, although he does not know the art of being tired of winning.But his father has been buried, and Islam advocates simple burial, which is too remote for a Khan.But the holy descendant Muhyiddin persuaded him from the sidelines, and the new Khan had no choice but to agree.

The remnants of Khotan were shocked when they heard that they were going to destroy the bronze pillars. They were very frightened and decided to ambush the Jihad army on this day.

Both sides are gearing up, ready to go.

How fierce this fierce battle was, future generations have no way of knowing.The only thing that can be found from the pile of old papers is the disastrous defeat of the Jihad Army, and none of the four imams survived.

Yu Sufu, who barely escaped back, returned to the capital in embarrassment to recuperate, and never set foot in the Kunlun Mountains for the rest of his life.

However, within a year, the king of Khotan died suddenly.The following year, the Guiyi Army mutinied.

The 40-year religious war ended under a series of events.

--------------

Manaski let out a long sigh, picked up the skin bag, and took a sip of the spore wine.

"How could this happen!" Ji Bao said angrily, "Didn't it mean that the Jihad Army suffered a disastrous defeat?"

Song Banyan took a sip of water, and said softly: "The blood energy attracted the soil mole guarding the bronze pillar. The Jihad army suffered a disastrous defeat, and the Khotan army suffered a disastrous defeat. History may not be fully recorded, but the ending always reveals the truth."

Everyone was thoughtful, only Ji Baoli asked curiously after knowing the relationship between the characters: "And then?"

Song Banyan raised his eyes to look at Xuefeng, and said with a smile: "Then. Then Yusufu expelled his cousin and became king himself. However, the Kara Khanate was divided into two. Then, they all did □□A vassal of the empire. Later, the Christian Holy War began, the Crusades.”③

Bai Xunhua handed her the water bag, and sighed softly, "There is nothing new under the sun."
