Vermillion mole

Zhu Sha followed the crowd for nearly a day in a daze, and it was already evening when they arrived at the valley below Xiaosheng Snow Mountain.

I made a snow cave and camped on a snow slope about 600 meters above the valley, and ate something hot.The starry sky at high altitudes is extremely bright and clear. Chen Pi Asi used the compass and the astronomical compass in his heart to roughly determine the route for the next day with the arrangement of the stars in the sky.

On the snow-capped mountains, it’s strange to say that people feel sleepy when they’re warm, and sleepy when they’re freezing to death. Dinner is dried noodles. After going out, the sleepiness hits again. It’s windy outside, and they go into sleeping bags to rest early. The first shift has a lot of people, and it doesn't take a day to complete the rotation. Today's shift is Shunzi, Lang Feng, and Pan Zi.

Zhu Sha was very tired, and soon fell asleep. She thought she would have a sweet sleep, but she didn't expect to sleep for an hour. Monk Hua, Fatty, Lang Feng, and Pan Zi started snoring at the same time, one after another, just like "communication". Like a symphony, Zhu Sha woke up from a nightmare.

Wu Xie couldn't sleep either, so he exchanged glances and walked out: "Shunzi, Lang Feng, you two should go to rest. I'm so sorry for Wu Xie, we can't fall asleep."

Lang Feng nodded and went to rest, Shunzi shook his head when he heard that the shift was about to change, and said, "No, I've taken the money, it's fine if I can't do this."

Wu Xie was chatting with Shunzi, and Shunzi suddenly asked, "Boss Wu...Actually, what are you guys doing here, can you tell me?"

Pan Zi said viciously, "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask, and be careful that you will lose your life."

Shunzi was taken aback, and smiled stiffly: "I...I just...ask casually."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wu Xie casually changed the topic and talked about something else.Ask him: "Since I used to gather grass 'medicine', why did I become a snow mountain guide later?"

Shunzi glanced at Wu Xie, and suddenly said something that made everyone almost vomit blood.

He said: "I'm not a professional guide. I've been picking herbs and medicines since I retired from the army. It's rare to take people up the mountain a few times, and they don't go so deep. Usually, I turn back at the girl lake. This is my first trip." Bring the team in for the first time."

Wu Xie smiled and said, "Stop joking."

"Really, Mr. Wu, let me tell the truth, this season, no professional guide will take you into the snow mountain. If I don't take you in, you have to come in by yourself." He smiled at Wu Xie: "It's too dangerous, if you don't Bodhisattva blesses us, in fact, we are already dead, and it is already a miracle that we can arrive here without any shortage. But you don’t have to worry, although I have never brought anyone in, but I have walked by myself many times, I am very familiar with it, and nothing will happen of."

At this time, Pan Zi already wanted to hit someone: "Then since it's so dangerous, why don't you bring us here? Is this the only money you need?"

Shunzi gave Pan Zi and Wu Xie a meaningful look, and said, "Money is also a factor, and there is another reason... because my father, who... disappeared ten years ago Yes, at that time he also brought a group of people into the snow mountain, which was similar to the route you were going to take, but in the end the whole group disappeared into the mountain. I vaguely remember the few tourists who were looking for him at that time, and yours. The dress is very similar, it is also in winter, and I have to go up the mountain, so when I see you, I suddenly feel that I must follow you. First, I don’t want you to die inside like my father. Second, I have a kind of Very naive idea, maybe your purpose of entering the mountain is the same as that group of people ten years ago, then maybe I can know what happened to my father. Of course, this is just my imagination." He laughed at himself Laughing: "My father may have simply been caught in an avalanche and buried in this snow-capped mountain."

Wu Xie understood: "That's why you asked our purpose of entering the mountain...?" Shunzi nodded embarrassedly: "Hey, you don't understand, the kind of person who knows that his father will sleep forever in this snow mountain , but can’t see the feeling.”

Seeing that Wu Xie didn't speak, Shunzi thought that the question he asked just now was a bit too much, and said to Wu Xie: "Boss Wu, I think you are different from other people, so I told you these things, I hope you don't share these things with other people. People say. I'm afraid they will have concerns."

Zhu Sha chuckled: "We definitely won't say it. If you let them know that you brought people here for the first time, and don't mention what Chen Pi will do to you, the fat man will beat you to death."

At this time, Lang Feng from the second shift came out of the tent, yawned and yawned, and was surprised to see the two of us chatting.Shunzi packed up her things, soaked her urine in the snow, and went to sleep.Wu Xie and Lang Feng greeted each other and went back to sleep.

It was not bright the next day, and we started to follow the trend of the mountains and continue to go up.The roads in many places are slanted, and there are snow-covered mountains high above the head, which are very prone to avalanches, and we cannot speak loudly.The snow on the road is really too thick, the snow layer of thousands of years, the bottom is almost empty, sometimes people will be covered in the snow when they don't reach their chests, and they can't get out without help. Can carefully use the long ice pick to hit the socket of the foot bit by bit, as if walking in a minefield.

Fatty’s footsteps are the fastest, which is related to his previous experience in snow field exploration. He walked in the front all the way, except for Chen Pi Asi who accidentally changed the direction of travel, the last four weeks were only the sound of panting, and the whole world seemed to be quiet. There is no life left.

After passing the snowy road on the mountainside, I walked into a frozen belt with huge snow slopes on both sides. There is no sunshine all year round, and the snow is in the shape of frozen soil. The slope of the mountain becomes steeper and steeper, and the temperature is extremely low. Inside, we finally saw the location of Chen Pi A Si Ding's Dragon Head Treasure, which is a steep slope almost at an acute angle of [-] degrees with the mountain, covered with white snow.

Continue to go up, one by one, try to stagger the figure, start using the ice pick and ice hammer, and climb towards the steep slope.

Climbing a steep slope is different from walking, and it consumes more energy. After climbing for a while, Chen Pi Asi reached the limit of his physical strength and could no longer climb. Lang Feng had to carry the Chen Pi on his back, and I walked even slower.

After about three hours of trekking, I finally climbed the snow slope. The fat man was the first to arrive. His physical strength seemed to have reached his limit. He opened his hands and said to us: "This is just a small step for me personally, but it is a fucking leap for Lieutenant 'Mo' Jin." Then he lay down in the snow, motionless .

Looking at the surrounding scenery, Ye Cheng panted, and said with emotion: "It's so beautiful, no wonder they say that Penglai Wonderland is not as good as Changbai. It's worth climbing for so long."

Zhang Qiling had already knelt down, and bowed his head respectfully towards the Sansheng Snow Mountain in the distance.On the originally expressionless face, there was a faint, very sad expression.

Zhu Sha looked in the direction where he was kneeling, a feeling of sadness emerged again, and she had difficulty breathing.Zhu Sha finally couldn't bear this inexplicable sorrow, and knelt down heavily.Tears flowed like rivers, and everyone was shocked.Even Zhang Qiling was a little clueless and confused.

Zhang Qiling picked up cinnabar and jumped onto the 'naked' rock on the side.It was convenient for Zhu Sha to rest, everyone had their own thoughts, and rested while watching the scenery. After a while, their physical strength recovered. The fat man lit up the smokeless stove and gathered around to make tea to keep warm. After taking a few sips of hot wine to relax, he pointed to the surrounding snow-capped mountains and explained their origins to us.

He said: "In the legend of Changbai Mountain, the Little Sacred Snow Peak, the Great Sacred Snow Peak and the mysterious Three Sacred Mountains here were snow-capped mountains in the prehistoric era. It took two strokes to make one mountain into three."

Before the liberation, it was not open here. He heard from his grandfather that after going up the three snow-capped mountains, the scenery around him was completely different.For example, on the Little Sacred Snow Peak, you can see the Three Sacred Peaks and the Great Sacred Peak, but on the Great Sacred Peak, you can only see the Three Sacred Peaks and not the Little Sacred Peak, which is very strange.And the most peculiar one is still on the Three Sacred Mountains.In addition to seeing the two large and small holy peaks on both sides, you can also see behind the Sansheng Mountain, facing it far away, there is a snow mountain that is more majestic than the Sansheng Mountain, called Tianti Peak.That mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, and its true face is invisible. It is said that there is a ladder on the mountain, which can go directly to the Heavenly Palace. It is the passage between the world and the fairyland. The rainbow-like glow is like a fairy pen, beautiful and strange.

The fat man heard this, and said to everyone: "This legend must be wrong. The Tiangong is clearly on the Three Sacred Mountains. How could it go to Tianti Peak? The person who passed down this legend must have a problem with his eyesight."

Zhu Sha shook his head and explained: "This may be a mirage formed by the refraction of the white snow of Tianti Peak and the surrounding snow mountains when Yunding Tiangong was built, because Tianti Peak is foggy all the year round, and the heavy fog becomes a reflection." The printed image of the Yunding Tiangong is hidden in the fog, and it looks as if the Tiangong is really in the sky.”

Several people communicated in Changsha dialect, but Shunzi couldn't understand it, and didn't pay attention to it.After talking about the scenery, he stood up and said to us: "Several bosses, take a break first, eat something, and then do whatever you want, but you have to hurry up, it's getting dark, and there is no way to set up a tent here. The black road is not easy to walk, we have to find a relatively flat place overnight, and it may be windy at night." After speaking, he poured tea and distributed it to everyone, and he stood far away to rest wisely.

Chen Pi Asi still didn't slow down after such an intense trek, Lang Feng handed him the wine gourd, making him swallow a couple of mouthfuls.Monk Hua rubbed his back to promote the flow of his blood, and his complexion gradually eased, but he still looked very sluggish. When we asked him, he just glanced at the surrounding mountains, yes We said: "The location of the treasure's cave is right under our feet, and I have no other way. Let's put down a few shovels and see what's under the snow before making any plans."

Everyone nodded, the snow was much softer than the mud, and the shovels hit very smoothly. Monk Hua and his hands and feet were very fast, and soon there were more than a dozen more shovels in the snow. However, almost all the shovels hit the snow. About five or six meters in the middle of the slope, he couldn't hit it anymore. The fat man thought that Ye Cheng was as weak as a thin monkey, so he ran to help. He used brute force, but still only hit a little bit. Every time he pulled it out, he saw that the shovel was nothing I didn't bring it either.

Monk Hua looked at the tip of the shovel and found a little ice crystals stuck to the tip of the shovel, so he knew what was going on. The bottom was a glacier surface formed by frozen soil and ice, which was as hard as concrete, and the shovel could not penetrate it. I can't bring anything with me.

Pan Zi said to us: "The main thing is that the snow is too much of a hindrance. Do we have explosives? When I was a soldier, I heard from some brothers that when they were in Daxing'anling, the production team there had regular trips to the snowy mountains and snow slopes." Blood cleansing. Just one blast hole can blow all the snow down, which is very worry-free. Once the snow is blown up, the situation under the snow will be clear at a glance. It will be much more convenient for us to find it again, and it will save us from digging holes. "

Monk Hua squeezed the snow, "I have explosives, but look at the top of our heads. Would firing a cannon here be suicide?"

Looking up, there are towering snow cliffs above.It stretches forward and backward, connecting the entire Hengshan mountain range like a snow dragon.

Pan Zi was also a little dizzy looking at it, but he still insisted: "Changbai Mountain is a tourist attraction, and the snow will be cleared here at every point. I don't think it's a big problem. If you don't care about clearing the snow, let's go back early. You want to dig for things hidden in the snow in the snow-capped mountains, isn’t it the same as finding a needle in a haystack? Let me tell you that the same is true for the mountaineering team in the snow-capped mountains in Tibet. There is no other good way. For the 'cave', you have to use explosives, otherwise you will never be able to break through the 'cave'. This shot, you can just let it go."

Wu Xie disagreed, saying: "This risk is too great, I'd rather 'spend' some time to shovel it with a shovel."

Pan Zi said: "Little Sanye, we only use explosives because we don't have time. If we have time, we will wait until summer. We have to try anyway. Sanye is still waiting for us to go."

Monk Hua waved his hand to make them stop, and pointed to Lang Feng: "You don't have to argue, we don't count what we say, and listen to the opinions of professionals."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lang Feng said uncomfortably: "I think what Lao Pan said should be feasible. In fact, I had already anticipated such a situation before I came here. I have some preparations, and I am a professional. The power of the explosives can be controlled, and the sound will not be too loud. In fact, as long as there is a small vibration under the snow, the goal can be achieved, and sometimes a firecracker is enough."

"Are you sure?" the fat man asked, "This is not tomb bombing. Now we are setting firecrackers in the tofu, letting you blow a 'hole' in the tofu, but you can't see it on the surface. This is a 'fine' 'skilled work."

Lang Feng nodded: "When I was a miner, I blasted no fewer than 1 mines, which is not difficult."

Monk Hua looked at Zhu Sha and his group, and pointed to Lang Feng: "Don't look at him. He doesn't talk at ordinary times. This guy is a 20-year-old miner. He started blasting holes when he was 14. He flattened no less than [-] hills. Show the old man. Zhong has only been in the industry for a year, and he is already known as the God of Guns, and no one knows better than him when it comes to explosives."

"You are the God of Cannon?" Pan Zi on the side opened his eyes wide, apparently he had heard of this name before.

Lang Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, and changed his coldness a few days ago: "It's all praised by colleagues, it's just a nickname."

Monk Hua said to him: "You don't have to be modest, you have to give full play to your expertise on this occasion." Then he turned his head and said: "Lang Feng hasn't missed a shot yet, he said that when he blows something up, it will be just a few pieces. , I absolutely believe him, since he said so, I think I can give it a try, do you have any opinions?"

Fatty Wu Xie and Pan Zi nodded in agreement. After agreeing, Lang Feng and Ye Cheng took out a special Luoyang shovel, screwed on a special shovel head, and made a few holes in the snow.

Then Lang Feng made a kind of explosive with several kinds of powder, and buried a few low-power detonators deep in it. I know that this kind of explosive was specially prepared, and its power is about There are only about ten firecrackers, which are used to drill holes to destroy the sealing stone of the ancient tomb. After Lang Feng re-adjusted the formula, the power must be even smaller.

Shunzi was drinking tea by the side, and he went crazy when he saw the scene. He had seen pilgrims planting flags, sneaked out at night during poaching, and crossed the border illegally, but he managed to escape It must be the first time to come up and take out the detonator to blow up the mountain.He ran over to stop Monk Hua, and shouted: "What are you doing? Boss, you are crazy—!"

Seeing this, Zhu Sha put a knife on him, and the fat man asked Monk Hua, "What shall we do with this kid in the future?"

Monk Hua said: "Leave him alone, we still have to rely on him to go back, take him to the underground palace, and leave him aside, then give him more money, what can he do?"

Lang Feng's performance was extremely professional, and almost no one intervened. He worked alone, and the detonators were arranged according to a model of a force-bearing structure. He waved everyone to climb to the 'naked' rock to prevent waiting A chain reaction envelops us together.

Zhu Sha approached Zhang Qiling and said, "Believe it or not, it's so powerful."

Zhang Qiling nodded, and the fat man leaned over curiously: "Brother, how do you know the power is so powerful, is it true?"

Zhu Sha chuckled, "You'll know soon~"

As soon as Lang Feng pressed the detonator, he didn't hear any sound. He saw that the flat snow surface cracked suddenly, and then the snow blocks began to pour down the slope like a waterfall, and the slope suddenly became steeper. All of a sudden it was empty.
