In order to lead the way for their group, La Gong also left his cattle and sheep in a place with green grass under the snow line. When Song Jiang saw it, he asked worriedly, "Just leave them here so they won't get lost or get caught." Did other wild animals eat it?”
But Lagon just smiled and said, "Don't worry...they have the protection of the mountain gods."
Seeing that La Gong was so relieved, Song Jiang naturally said nothing more. However, the road under his feet was getting harder and harder to walk, which had seriously affected his forward speed. It was almost impossible to get to the 5123 testing station before dark. It was impossible. In the end, Lagun had to decide to camp on the spot and wait until dawn tomorrow before continuing on his way.
Unexpectedly, as soon as a group of people set up their tents, heavy fog suddenly appeared on the mountain, and the surrounding visibility instantly dropped below 10 meters. In order to prevent anyone from getting lost, Lagon reminded everyone not to leave the camp easily. After eating, He immediately went back to the tent to rest.
At this time, Song Jiang took a bite of the luncheon meat that had just been grilled on the fire, and then glanced at the thick fog around him. He couldn't help complaining in his heart, if he wasn't mentally ill, who would do this? Place? !
Meng Zhe seemed to have read through his mind, so he kicked him and said, "Give me a piece of toast too..."
It was difficult for outsiders to have a seizure in Songjiang, so they had to grit their teeth and say, "Okay, sir!"
Perhaps seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Wu Hui pretended to be relaxed and said to everyone, "This kind of weather change is very common here. When the wind blows at night, the fog will naturally be blown away... If you feel that the night is long, How about letting Ragon tell us a story?!”
Suddenly called by Wu Hui, Lagon smiled helplessly and said, "My stories are all related to this snow mountain. I just don't know if you like to hear them."
Song Jiang immediately became interested when he heard this, "Okay, we are worried about who we should ask to learn about the legend of Kalabog Peak!"
Shen Wenwen and Zhao Jia agreed after hearing this, "That's right... tell us quickly."
After hearing this, Lagun raised his head and glanced at the distant Karabog Peak, and said in a low voice, "Kalabog means the alternation of the sun and the moon in our local dialect. It is said that at the moment when the sun sets and the moon rises, Karaborg There will be a golden temple on the Borg Peak. It is said that the God of Snow Mountain lives in this temple and protects all the people who devoutly believe in him."
After hearing this, Song Jiang asked in a deep voice, "Is this why climbing this snow mountain is prohibited?!"
Lagon shook his head and said, "Yes and no. In fact, the main purpose of doing this is for the sake of mountaineering enthusiasts to prevent some tragedies from happening again..."
"Are those things said on the Internet true?!" Song Jiang asked.
"Most of it is true..." Lagon said in a serious tone.
Wu Hui sighed after hearing this, "Actually, Karabog Peak is mainly affected by the Indian Ocean airflow, and there is a lot of precipitation every year. Although the glaciers on the snow-capped mountains melt a lot in summer, the amount of snowfall in winter is enough to replenish the melted ice in summer." Come back. Especially after the weather warms up, lower parts of the altitude will melt rapidly. The ice at higher altitudes often falls in large tracts, while the ice at higher altitudes will slowly move downward even if it does not collapse. The constantly moving Glaciers make the ice very unstable and prone to avalanches. This is why Kalabog is not the highest mountain in the world, but it is the most difficult one to conquer..."
At this moment, Meng Zhe suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Are there any descendants of the Rihan tribe here?!"
Unexpectedly, Lagong and Wu Hui were both stunned after hearing this, but Wu Hui reacted quickly. He was slightly surprised and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Meng to know such an ancient nation. In fact, even us locals don't know about it." Very few people know about the Rihan people anymore, and if I hadn’t compiled the local county annals before, I wouldn’t have known about the Rihan people at all.”
Bai Ze saw that La Gong's expression was obviously knowing, but he didn't say anything, so he took the initiative to look at La Gong and said, "What about you? Have you ever heard of this ancient nation before?!"
Unexpectedly, Lagong said with a solemn face, "I heard... the second half of the story I just told is about the Rihan people. It is said that the Rihan people have guarded the temple on Kalabog Peak for generations, but later I don’t know why, but all the Rihan people suddenly disappeared. Because it was so long ago, the Rihan people didn’t leave any civilization behind, so naturally very few people know of their existence.”
Bai Ze nodded after hearing this, and then said with regret, "Actually, I have always been very interested in the Rihan people, but unfortunately there are too few documents about them..."
After hearing this, neither Lagon nor Wu Hui answered. Song Jiang saw that neither of them seemed to want to continue this topic, so he had no choice but to find something to say, "Is it true that the mountaineering team never found it? ?”
After hearing this, Wu Hui shook his head and said, "No... It is said that the climate that year was particularly extreme. The search and rescue personnel encountered a snowstorm when they reached an altitude of 4,000 meters. For safety reasons, everyone retreated down the mountain and waited for the snowstorm to stop. After that, they went up for search and rescue. But the strange thing was that the blizzard stopped as soon as the search and rescue personnel came down the mountain. As a result, when they tried to go up the mountain again, another large-scale avalanche occurred on Karabog Peak."
Song Jiang was surprised when he heard this and said, "It seems that the mountain god doesn't want them to go up to rescue people!"
When Lagon heard this, he looked at him with a similar view and said, "We locals all thought so, so we didn't dare to go up to rescue people at all. Moreover, the chance of survival of those dozen people at that time was almost zero, so No one is willing to take the risk anymore."
After hearing this, Wu Hui added, "In fact, if that climbing team had listened to the advice of our local people, such a tragedy would never have happened..."
After hearing this, Song Jiang asked, "How many meters above sea level did the incident happen?"
Wu Hui thought for a while and said, "Their last contact with the mountain was at 5,300 meters. After that, the mountaineering team completely disappeared."
Song Jiang said thoughtfully upon hearing this, "So the testing station was built below 5300?!"
Wu Hui nodded and said, "Absolutely. That position is a red line of death in the hearts of all of us. Ordinary people...or even herdsmen like Lagon who have been walking on Karabog Peak all year round dare not cross it easily. .”
After dinner, everyone went back to the tent to sleep with their own thoughts. Only Song Jiang's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he couldn't sleep no matter what...
