Ji Tang

Chapter 625 Mountain Climbing
The appearance of the sunflower gave everyone a renewed passion for exploration. This was a wilderness and everything was unknown. Perhaps a small discovery could benefit Datang immensely.

Tang Jian couldn't sit still anymore and personally led hundreds of people to a farther place.

Except for Ji Qing, who was going to stay at the camp, everyone else went out as long as they had nothing to do.

Because Tang Jian has confirmed the credit of the soldier who discovered the Sunflower.He also promised that after returning to the capital, it is basic to upgrade to three levels in a row. If you are lucky, it is also possible to become a baron.

Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it has become a common practice to receive titles immediately.But now, as long as you find something useful to the Tang Dynasty and bring it back, you may be knighted.

Only a fool would pass up such an opportunity.

As a result, the entire camp was in a state of excitement, and no one was willing to give up this opportunity.

It is impossible for everyone to go out, the camp needs to be guarded, and the warship needs to be guarded.But the crowd was furious and no one wanted to miss the opportunity.

It finally became quiet under Tang Jian's suppression, but in order to compensate those who stayed behind, Tang Jian announced that those who explored this time would replace others next time.

Those who stayed behind this time will have the same opportunity next time, which makes everyone feel at ease.

Anyway, this place is big enough, so I don’t have to worry about running out of room to explore. I’ll just go further next time.

On this day, Tang Jian led a team of [-] people to a mountain range that was unknown how many miles away.

They kept heading east, passed the buffalo herd, and walked through a mountain forest. When they walked out, they saw this mountain range.

"I thought this place was mainly plains, but I didn't expect that there is a mountain range not far from the sea?" Tang Jian said in surprise.

Xue Li, who was assigned to protect Tang Jian, was also surprised. This mountain range is countless miles long, and its height is as high as the Qinling Mountains in Guanzhong.

Xue Li said: "Tang Gong, do we still want to move forward?"

Tang Jian took a deep breath and smiled: "Of course, I'm already here. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't go up to see the scenery on the top of the mountain?"

"Rengui, would you like to see what happens with me? What kind of scenery is there on the other side of the mountain?"

I don't know why, but the more he learned about this continent, the more excited he became, and his long-dormant passion was completely aroused.

The passion he had in the Turkic Royal Court seemed to have returned to him, and now he was somewhat glad that he was blocked from going back when he refused.

Otherwise, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life. Only after you come out will you realize that the world is vast. No wonder that bastard Ji Song is so shameless that he wants to come. He will never be able to boast about this kind of life experience even in eight lifetimes.

When he returns to the Tang Dynasty, no matter who he is, he can disdainfully call him a frog in the well or a bumpkin.

That's right, compared to what I saw, the power and status of the Tang Dynasty were nothing to mention.

No wonder the sages say that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

Along the way, many things that I had only half-understood or didn’t understand when I was reading have been understood and integrated without even realizing it.

This is something I never dared to think about before, but it is true!

He didn't know when he started to get into the habit of writing a diary every day. Perhaps it was the influence of students who had to write sailing diaries every day!
If you can't record what you see and hear every day, it will be a waste of resources.

That bastard Ji Song was really prepared. Not only did he ask for a diary, but he also asked for pictures.

I don’t know how that kid deceived Yan Liben into sending all his favorite disciples, as well as no less than ten painters who were all good at painting.

Not to mention those students from Ji's Academy, everyone basically has some drawing skills, and attaching pictures is not a problem at all.

If it were just a written record, it would indeed be somewhat unsatisfactory, and it would not be able to accurately express the shock from the soul.

Along the way, he domineeringly occupied Yan Liben's favorite disciple and asked him to draw pictures exclusively for him, which made Ji Qing and others very popular.Thinking of this, he chuckled, letting you be as cunning as a ghost, but in the end you still end up drinking my foot-washing water.Your husband has indeed arranged it well, but I haven't been fooling around all these years. After all, I am still young!
Xue Li saw Tang Jian's smile a little strange, but didn't say anything.He himself has a dull temper, and he only got better after staying with Wang Xuance for a long time.

"Since Mr. Tang is interested, I just want you to accompany me."

Xue Li also wanted to see what was on the other side of the mountain. After all, he had already come here. He would really be unwilling to go up and have a look.

Now that the decision has been made, there is nothing more to say, just go ahead.

But as soon as they went up the mountain, they felt a little regretful. This was not the Tang Dynasty after all, and many famous mountains and rivers had the footprints of their predecessors.

But here it is a wilderness, with all kinds of obstacles on the mountain road, and the progress is extremely slow.

But we were already going up the mountain, and it would be a shame to give up halfway.

"Two people take turns to clear the way in front, while the others are on guard around to be careful of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts." Xue Li arranged.

They all carried some insect repellent powder with them, which was prepared by Daochang Sun himself, which helped them a lot along the way.

To be honest, they really didn't pay attention to some ferocious beasts. The only thing they worried about was that they would suddenly attack and catch people off guard.

They were wearing specially made jungle suits, and their whole bodies were basically covered, with only their eyes exposed.The trouser legs, cuffs, and collar were all tied tightly, just to worry about bugs getting in.

There was no road at all on the mountain. They followed a valley road hit by flash floods, which saved them a lot of trouble.

At least the vegetation here is sparse and you can observe more places without being attacked by wild beasts.

In just one hour, I encountered three or four times, including beasts that looked like tigers and leopards, as well as other unknown animals.

But now it has become their food reserve. They will bake it and eat it when they get to the place. It must be good.

Wolves, such social animals, are of course indispensable.

But no matter how many came, they were all chickens and dogs in front of the organized army. However, in order to prevent the smell of blood from attracting more wild beasts, they could only bury them everywhere.

Until evening, seeing no hope of climbing the mountain, everyone could only temporarily look for a place to stay for the night.

Fortunately, before dark, a soldier found a beast's cave. The place was quite large, enough for more than a hundred people to shelter.

As for the beasts that live in caves?

Hehe, of course it became everyone’s dinner.

Xue Li took people in to take a look. He nodded with satisfaction. The place was big enough and there was only one exit: the entrance of the cave.

He first asked the soldiers to clean up the inside quickly. After the ventilation was completed, everyone went in.

"Wait!"

Xue Li looked at the entrance of the cave, and his eyes lit up when he saw a huge rock not far away.

Amid everyone's puzzled looks, he came to the boulder and first looked around in a circle.

I saw him leaning over and hugging the boulder, his waist and abdomen, and his arms exerting force.Just like that, a huge boulder weighing five hundred kilograms rose from the ground.

"What a strength!" Tang Jian exclaimed.

Not many generals in the army have such strength. Who would have thought that this kid would be born with divine power?
