Yin trace

"How far is it?" Tian Peng wiped the icy scum formed from the sweat on his face, and said with a cold breath.After walking for more than half a day, the half of the mountain peak is still at the end of the horizon, and the distance seems to have never been shortened.

"It's unscientific." Liu Canghai also let out a sigh of relief, and said inexplicably, "According to the visual distance, we are only about [-] kilometers away from that mountain. We have traveled such a long distance, why does it seem that the distance is so small?" Haven't there been any changes?"

Ye Ya took over, and she said coldly: "That's because we saw the mountain peaks, which were refracted by the light in the mist. The actual distance may be farther."

Liu Canghai suddenly realized, and nodded repeatedly.Ye Ya's words are not without reason.

The terrain in Yuguli is relatively flat, and the temperature is relatively high. Wearing thick warm clothes, many team members will have thin beads of sweat on their foreheads.Of course, the temperature is relatively high in places other than the valley, and the temperature here is still in the minus ten degrees Celsius.The only strange thing is that although the temperature in the valley is low, there is no snow or ice crystals in it.

Liu Canghai is most interested in the geographical features here.After a period of hysteria, he also agreed with Ye Ya's judgment, thinking that the jade in this jade valley is something from outside the sky, not a product of geological movement, but the long-term erosion of glaciers, which finally formed its current appearance.

However, Chen Ziyun disagreed with Liu Canghai's judgment.He believes that these valleys are not naturally formed, but man-made.

But Chen Ziyun couldn't find evidence to prove this idea.He carefully inspected the jade bis on both sides of the jade valley, but found no traces of digging.But if you can't find it, it doesn't mean it's impossible.Similarly, a valley of jade is enough to make people unimaginable. It would be sensational to say that this valley of jade was artificially opened up.Until modern times, it is very troublesome to mine jade mines in the deep mountains. Many jade miners still follow the old method thousands of years ago, setting fire on the jade, and then watering it, using the heat of the jade. The ancient method of expanding, contracting and breaking is used to pick jade.

If this method is used to dig out a jade valley, how many people will be needed and how much time will it take?Moreover, in this cold and barren place where even plants are rare, how can food support the daily consumption of so many laborers?

So this kind of judgment can only appear in Chen Ziyun's own thoughts.Say it out, not to mention that Liu Canghai would refute him to pieces; even Wang Xiaowu, who has always supported him unconditionally, would not believe his words.

Finally, the outline of the indigo daisy on the distant mountain gradually became clear, but the surrounding environment also changed significantly.In the place I walked before, there was nothing else except the jade ore that could not be seen at a glance.

But at this time, as far as his eyes could see, Chen Ziyun could clearly see that many jade stones were covered with a thin layer of vegetation, which Chen Ziyun knew well, some of which were meadows on the plateau, but there were also a few broad-leaved plants Plants are obviously not found in the plateau frigid zone, and they can only be seen at least in areas below 3000 meters above sea level.

Chen Ziyun frowned slightly.Looking at these scattered plants, some couldn't figure out why these plants appeared in this place.Soon, however, these few plants became inconspicuous.

"What are these white flowers?!"

"Skeletons! So many bones!" There was a brief commotion in the team.

Chen Ziyun also noticed this.On the open ground, many places are full of bones, and many of the bones have been covered by vegetation.Presumably, these plants were able to grow because of the nutrient conservation of the corpse.

Chen Ziyun was very surprised.Yugu is located in a severe cold and dry area, and it is not easy for corpses to rot. It is unknown how many years these corpses have existed in these places before they rotted like this.

Chen Ziyun approached a corpse that hadn't fallen apart badly, and carefully identified it.Wang Xiaowu also got off Wukong's shoulders, put on his gloves, and checked the bones on the ground.

Soon another team member discovered that besides the corpses, there were a large number of weapons on the ground.Most of the weapons are made of bronze and stone, and most of the stone tools are made of jade, most of which are sharpened jade spears and jade axes.

The copper weapons were very rotten. Chen Ziyun believed that these weapons had existed for a long time, and there were many impurities, so the rot was serious.

"There was a war here!" Chen Ziyun said slowly.After half an hour of confirmation, he and Wang Xiaowu had found nearly [-] skulls that hadn't completely decayed, and this was only a small part of the countless bones.

"These people almost all died in battle!" Tian Peng inspected some of the bones and found that many of the vital parts of the corpses showed signs of broken bones. At the same time, he found some supporting evidence from the lying postures of the corpses. made his own judgment.He even found a small piece of metal on top of a bone.

"Why would someone start a war in this place? Could it be to compete for jade mines?" Wang Xiaowu looked a little bewildered.She went on to say: "These people have been dead for at least 1000 years, and in this environment, judging from the weapons they used and the degree of decay of the combined bones, the age may be even longer. In this environment where the temperature is low and constant for a long time In other places, it is very difficult to decompose the corpse, and in more cases, the possibility of forming a mummified corpse is higher. Thousands of years ago, jade was a very precious treasure, but in the plateau, a piece Baoyu's is probably not worth as much as a highland barley, so what's the use of robbing it?"

Chen Ziyun nodded, looked at the mountain peak that was already in the distance, and said, "Perhaps, the answer has to be found there."

The half of the mountain was still silent in the distance.But after everyone got close to it, they realized how huge and majestic the mountain was.What makes people strange is that when the mountain is viewed from a distance, part of the place seen is a circle, but one side is a cliff, which looks thrilling.Like that mountain peak, it seems that part of it was cut off by the god with a sharp weapon.

That's not to mention, the most strange thing is that the surroundings of the mountain are surrounded by clouds and mist. Countless clouds and mist are rolling around the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a fairy mountain in the legend.But in the depths of the cloud and mist, the darkness revealed from time to time makes one's heart palpitating.
