Changbai Mountain, Nanpo Mountain Gate, Qianchao Official Road
"Drive~drive~~"
The roar is like thunder, and the horses and whips are raised.
Geda and Yue Guanchao ran forward hard on their tall horses with riding whips in their hands, long bows on their backs, and snow boots on their feet.
The two of them are both jungle hunters. After getting along with each other for the past few days, they have realized that they have the same temperament and call each other brothers. They even dress the same.
They were wearing thick, dense mink velvet robes, with one sleeve untied and tied behind their backs, revealing clean gray-white cotton jackets. Their sheepskin velvet hats were fluttering up and down in the cold wind, and their faces were red and chapped from the cold.
Geda breathed hot air, looked at the tide towards the mountain and said:
"There are four mountain gates to enter Changbai Mountain Tianchi, one in the four directions, east, west, north and south. Qingniu'ao is relatively close to the Nanshan Gate. Taking this official road is the closest to Baiyun Peak."
With Ge Da here, Yue Guanchao didn't care how to go up the mountain. He wanted to know where the so-called Haidong Emperor's Tomb was!
Before leaving, Chao Wenshun did not tell him the exact location. Thinking about it now, Chao Wenshun was probably afraid that he would know too much, and running away in the middle would only increase the risk.
Ge Da was a guide, and the four nurses were errand runners. As a result, the only person who knew how to tell Chao Wenshun the secret was the elderly Cat Master.
He stopped the carriage, ran outside Master Mao's carriage, and asked outside:
"Master Cat, we still don't know where the Haidong Emperor's Mausoleum is? You and Chao Wenshun are old friends, he should have told you."
"Young friend Yue, I know what's going on. I'll tell you when we get there."
Play tricks on me... Yue Guanchao understood that Mr. Cat was not in his camp, so he didn't bother him much and continued to ride forward.
According to Geda, the official road they took came from the previous dynasty's camp, and it started as early as Changbai Mountain's closure of mountains and forestation!
For three hundred years, most of the royal families held spring hunting and autumn hunting here, and the official road was the fastest way into the Changbai Mountains.
Not to mention the wonders of the wild forests along the way, they were not here to appreciate the mountain scenery, so naturally they would not pay too much attention to the scenery along the way.
When they arrived at Baiyun Peak, they took a serious look at their surroundings.
Winter in Changbai Mountain is the same as that in Xing'an Mountains. It starts in early September and gradually turns to spring and summer in May and June of next year.
There are only four months of the year that are warm and suitable, so they were delayed for seven or eight days and it was almost early October.
After setting foot on Baiyun Peak, Yue Guanchao and his party stood on the shore overlooking Tianchi. Compared with the huge Tianchi, the figures were as small as fleas.
The sixteen peaks such as Luming, Huagai, Tianhuo, Zixia, Longmen and Guanri are rugged and strange, with different postures. The stars firmly support Tianchi like the moon, lifting it thousands of meters above sea level. It can be said that it is in the sky. Lake!
Looking carefully, Tianchi is as blue as a treasure and as flat as a mirror, with mountains and rivers connected, water and sky of the same color. It wasn't until the cold wind blew through the mirror, causing ripples, that everyone realized that it was not a heaven!
A huge black shadow passed over the lake, as if the giant monster of the abyss disappeared in an instant.
"Where the solid ice reaches the summer, the white sky meets the blue sky, there is only water coming out but no water entering. It has been flowing down for thousands of years. It is strange that this Tianchi is one of the rarest lakes in the world."
Mr. Cat likes weird places the most. When he sees this place where the flow has not dried up for thousands of years, he will naturally feel emotional.
"Master Cat, Tianchi is also here. If you still don't tell us the location of the Haidong Imperial Tomb, then we can go back home."
Geda looked at Mr. Cat, who was looking far away, and couldn't help teasing him.
Compared with the mature and slippery Mao Chunyan, Ge Da is more compatible with Yue Guanchao. Wufu and Wufu are really well matched.
His words clearly indicate that he is in Yue Guanchao's camp!
Yue Guanchao understood it and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
"I tell you Ge Xiaoyou and Yue Xiaoyou, please be patient. I know you two are eager to go to the grave, but the Chao family's boss didn't tell me the specific location."
As soon as Master Mao said this, everyone's eyes widened, and Yue Erpao sat down on the ground:
"Then what does this old guy mean? He asked us to come all the way up and didn't tell us where we were? He's not trying to play tricks on us."
"No, the owner of the Chao family didn't tell me the exact location because he himself doesn't know where the Haidong Imperial Tomb is. He only knows that the ancestors of the Chao family left a riddle."
After finishing speaking, Mr. Cat returned to the carriage, took out a roll of yellow paper, and read it carefully:
"When I cross the Yellow River, I will meet you at the White Peak. Do you know what the second half of these two lines is?"
This completely stumped everyone. Song Siyuan shook her head:
"The official history of Haidong Shengguo was seriously damaged and has long been lost. There are only half a pair recorded in the unofficial history."
"The second half of the sentence was actually deliberately hidden by the Chao family. This second half hides the exact location of the Haidong Emperor's Mausoleum."
Before Master Mao finished speaking, Song Siyuan was already interested in these poems and urged him to solve the puzzle quickly.
"Okay, okay, since you all want to know, I won't tell you anything."
Mr. Cat coughed a few times, looked at the yellow paper and solemnly read out the complete poem word for word:
"When I cross the underworld, I will meet you on the long white peak, and we will be buried together in the depths of auspiciousness. May our love never waver for a thousand years."
