[Section [-] Futu Gorge]

The crowd hurriedly buried the man's body with yellow sand, and after a short rest, they decided to move on.Tang Feng said that the two camels could not seat five people no matter what, but Han Jiang said: "I think these two camels are tall and strong, and it is not a problem for us to sit on them. How about it, Yelena, you and the old horse sit on the same side, and Tang and I sit together." Feng and Liang Yuan squeezed together."

Yelena didn't say anything, but Tang Feng yelled, "Oh my god, you are the heaviest, and you still have to squeeze with the two of us! In addition to the bags of several of us, you will exhaust this poor little camel to death ah!"

"It's settled like this, obey the leader's arrangement!" Han Jiang rode on Tang Feng's camel. Tang Feng had no choice but to ride on the camel with Liang Yuan. This camel carried three people. He climbed up with difficulty, and then walked up the sand hill in front of him without any complaints.

Tang Feng was amazed by the tenacity and load-bearing capacity of the camel. About fifteen minutes later, two camels carried the five of them up the ridge of the sand mountain with difficulty. Under the mountain, a huge red rock mountain rises abruptly almost on the flat ground. Under the sunlight, the red rock exudes a mysterious atmosphere, lying in front of them. When everyone is surprised, Tang Feng is the first to see it In the middle of the huge red rock mountain, a narrow and long canyon appeared as if it had been split by a sharp knife.

"Is this the core area of ​​Wild Wolf Valley?" Tang Feng thought wildly, urging the camels to go down the mountain, and soon, they came to the entrance of the narrow and long canyon at the foot of Hongshi Mountain.

At the entrance of the canyon, the first thing that attracted Tang Feng's attention was not the canyon itself, but a monument at the entrance of the valley, "There is a monument standing here! And it is an ancient monument!" Tang Feng has already seen that this monument is a valuable Antiquities of the year.

Tang Feng jumped off the camel, came to the stele, brushed off the floating dirt on the stele, and the inscription on the stele gradually and clearly appeared in front of him, "It's Basiba again."

"Basiba inscription? A monument erected by the Mongols?" Han Jiang thought of the remnant tablet of Basiba inscription they saw outside Qianhu Town.

"Yes, the monument was erected by the Mongols, and the inscription is still on the Yiji Nai Road Governor's Mansion. The title of the monument is 'Where Genghis Khan fell from the horse in Futu Gorge'."

"What a mess, is this the title of the stele?" Han Jiang said.

"Yes, that's probably the meaning of the Basiba text translation!" Tang Feng paused, and then said: "But don't underestimate this topic, just one sentence contains two important information."

"Oh?" Everyone gathered around.

"One, 'Futu Gorge' is obviously a place name, so where does it refer to? I think it should be the narrow and deep canyon in front of us."

"Futu Gorge?" Liang Yuan muttered to herself, "What a strange name, why is this place called Futu Gorge?"

"You ask me, who should I ask? That's what the ancients called it!" Tang Feng said.

"No, as far as I know, 'Buddha' is a Buddhist term. Does this canyon have anything to do with Buddhism? Maybe there will be a resplendent temple inside!" Liang Yuan asked herself and answered.

"Nonsense, I also know what the Buddha means, but you don't even see a ghost in it, does it seem like there is a temple?" Tang Feng said angrily.

"You didn't go in, how do you know there won't be a temple inside?" Liang Yuan was still quite unconvinced.

"Okay, then you will be the first to go in later, and see if there is a temple inside!"

When Tang Feng said this, Liang Yuan opened her mouth and wanted to argue, but she glanced at the eerie canyon, and then swallowed back the words that came to her lips.

Seeing Liang Yuan's unconvinced and frightened look, Tang Feng wanted to laugh. He held back and continued, "The second important information is that this is the place where Genghis Khan fell from his horse. There is a record of this incident in the history books. When Genghis Khan conquered Xixia for the last time, he fell from a horse in a valley in the north of Xixia and fell ill because of it. When Genghis Khan destroyed Xixia, he also passed away, but the history books did not specify which valley it was in. The discovery of this stele proves that Genghis Khan fell here."

"What does the inscription say?" Han Jiang asked.

Tang Feng carefully identified the inscription until the end, shook his head and said in disappointment: "The inscription has no valuable clues, and its meaning is similar to that of the prohibition tablet we saw outside Qianhu Town. At the beginning, it said Genghis Khan He fell off his horse here, and then said that this canyon is narrow and long, and it is eerie inside, and there are often strange noises, and finally warned the soldiers and civilians not to enter here, or they will bear the consequences! However, there is one point in it that is worth pondering."

"Oh! Which point?"

"The inscription doesn't say whether Genghis Khan fell from the horse because of a surprise attack by the party members, or because of some other reason?"

"Didn't you deduce that after reading Yelu Chucai's papers in Qianhu Town, Genghis Khan was probably killed and injured by a surprise attack by Hanhai Micheng party members?" Han Jiang asked back.

Tang Feng carefully recalled Yelu Chucai's paper, "Yes, at that time I boldly inferred that Genghis Khan might have been ambushed by the party members in the valley, but I thought about it carefully just now, Yelu Chucai's original words were 'I Following Xian Khan's attack on Xixia, Xian Khan fell off his horse in the valley, the whole army was terrified, and was attacked by Xixia again, Yu Sui was separated from Xian Khan and the generals', I saw it said at that time that 'Xixia came Xi' then inferred that Genghis Khan might have been ambushed by the party members in the valley, but after careful scrutiny, Yelu Chucai first said, 'First Khan fell from his horse in the valley, and the whole army was horrified', and then, 'And Attacked by Xixia', that is to say, the attack of Xixia came after Genghis Khan's fall! So I think Genghis Khan's army was attacked by the party members in Micheng, but the party members launched a surprise attack when they saw Genghis Khan's fall and the Mongolian army panicked Got it."

Tang Feng's deduction brought out a thrilling battle scene before everyone's eyes. Genghis Khan's army entered the narrow, winding and deep canyon. For some unknown reason, Genghis Khan's mount was suddenly frightened and threw Genghis Khan off his horse. The Mongolian army immediately Panicked, just at this time, a group of Dangxiang ambush soldiers rushed out. In a panic, hundreds of Mongolian soldiers protected the fallen Genghis Khan. Although the Dangxiang warriors were extremely brave, the Mongolian soldiers on the periphery fell down row by row. But Mongolian soldiers kept rushing up, but the party had few soldiers, so they had to watch helplessly as the Mongolian army rescued Genghis Khan out of the gorge, leaving only hundreds of corpses and the blood that converged into a stream in the deep and tortuous Futu gorge.

Han Jiang nodded, "I think it should be like this, so if it wasn't the surprise attack by the party members that caused Genghis Khan's fall, what else could be the reason?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"For example, the horse was suddenly startled when it was crossing the valley!" Tang Feng said casually.

"Why are horses frightened?"

"Then I have to ask about this Futu Gorge!" Tang Feng said, looking into the pitch-black canyon, the twists and turns of the canyon, it is impossible to get a glimpse of the true content inside.

3
The five people spent a long time at the entrance of the canyon, but finally they had to bite the bullet and go inside again, riding the camels again. The camels of Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked into the canyon first.

Futu gorge gets narrower as you go in, at first it can accommodate three camels walking side by side, but later it can only accommodate one camel; It has almost become a line of sky, and the distance from the bottom of the valley to the top is at least as high as six or seven floors, and the light from above cannot shine down at all.

The Futu Gorge is even more amazing. Not long after they walked in, the canyon started to turn, which was unheard of by everyone. "How can there be so many twists and turns in such a narrow canyon?" Tang Feng couldn't help but Puzzled.

After going around two bends, the section ahead seemed to be a straight road, but Tang Feng couldn't see clearly ahead, because there was a huge boulder that fell from the top of the mountain, and it was stuck between the rock walls in front of him. There is a little space below that can be passed through. Everyone keeps raising their heads, looking up at the top of their heads, watching the situation above vigilantly, for fear that someone is ambush above. Throwing a few stones down, even if they can't hit them, can still trap them alive in this valley.

Everyone's heart was in their throats, but after 10 tense minutes, they came under the boulder without encountering any danger. The space under the boulder could not allow everyone to pass on camels, so everyone had to get off the camel , pulled the camel through, and walked through the dark space under the boulder. The light in front seemed to be much brighter, and the narrow valley became wider, and everyone's hanging hearts were slightly relieved.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan rode the camels again, and Yelena and Makarov also rode the camels. Only Han Jiang waved his hands, "You guys ride, I'll walk below."

Everyone continued to walk forward and turned another corner. Tang Feng suddenly felt a cool wind blowing from the front. In the scorching heat, he suddenly felt cool, but the camel under him stopped. He patted the camel lightly, but the camel took a step and still stayed where it was, and the camel that looked at Makarov and Yelena also stopped moving forward.

"What's going on here?" A bad feeling suddenly rose in Tang Feng's heart. He instinctively pulled out his pistol and looked over his head again. There was no movement above his head, and there was another gust of cool wind, which was worse than the one just now. The blowing was fierce, and some fine gravel fell from the rock walls on both sides. Tang Feng became more and more nervous, and the palm of the hand holding the handle of the gun was covered with fine sweat. He slammed the camel again, muttering Shouted: "Baby, dear, you should go!"

The camel moved slightly forward for half a step, but as a gust of wind hit, the camel actually took another step back. Accompanied by the gust of wind, there was a strange sound, which sounded like someone crying, or someone shouting , the sound of weapons colliding, Tang Feng was horrified, and Liang Yuan looked forward in horror, "This... what is this sound?"

Everyone stopped looking at the top of their heads, and all stared straight at the deep and winding canyon ahead. What would appear there?Genghis Khan's army?A brave party warrior?Or the man in black under the general?Or...or some horrible monster?

Tang Feng clearly felt the uneasiness of the camels. Both camels began to swing, raising and lowering their hooves non-stop, seeming very restless and restless!Tang Feng yanked the camel under him again, and this time the camel took a step back!Side by side with Makarov and Yelena's camels.

Tang Feng didn't dare to beat the camel again. He clamped the camel tightly with his legs, and hugged Liang Yuan tightly. At this moment, the strange sounds became louder and the wind became stronger. Howling, the originally peaceful canyon seemed to have changed the world, but after waiting for a long time, nothing came out from the depths of the opposite canyon. When Tang Feng was surprised, he suddenly felt that the ground under his feet trembled slightly, although it was only for a moment , but he still captured it sensitively.

At the moment when the ground trembled, the strange sound rose sharply. Tang Feng felt the camel under him shake suddenly, and his body no longer belonged to him. He hugged Liang Yuan tightly, and then died Grasping on the camel's hump, no matter how the camel shakes, it will not let go, but the docile camel seemed to go crazy, and suddenly raised its front hooves. Seeing that Tang Feng and Liang Yuan couldn't sit still, they were about to be caught. The camel fell down, and suddenly, a pair of powerful hands grabbed the camel's reins, so that the camel did not fall backwards. Tang Feng took a closer look, and it turned out to be Han Jiang. At this time, only Han Jiang could reach out and save him. , Seeing that Han Jiang's other hand was not idle, he firmly grasped the reins of Makarov's camel, and the camel also raised its front hooves like crazy!

The camels were obviously frightened. The two tall camels raised their front hooves vigorously and fell backwards. Han Jiang firmly controlled the reins and pulled the two camels down to prevent Tang Feng and the others from falling.This is a contest between man and beast, a contest between Han Jiang alone and two camels!

Obviously, the two camels were more powerful. Han Jiang didn't let go, and his feet were continuously pulled backwards by the camels, taking three steps in a row. However, at the fourth step, Han Jiang regained his footing. Turning the camel over, Han Jiang's hands were bloodied by the reins, his face was flushed, and he gritted his teeth and persisted. Tang Feng really wanted to go down to help Han Jiang, but at this moment he couldn't move on the camel's back.

Tang Feng saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. When he saw that Han Jiang was about to lose his strength, Tang Feng closed his eyes and prepared for the worst. But who would have thought that after closing his eyes, he would feel The body fell forward with the camel, and then fell heavily on the ground.

Tang Feng hurriedly opened his eyes and watched. It turned out that the two camels had all fallen back to their original places, and now they became honest and docile again. Is this the divine power of Han Jiang?Still... Tang Feng calmed down and listened carefully. The angry howling just now disappeared, and the strange sound also went away. No wonder the camel regained its calm!

Tang Feng hurriedly jumped off the camel, and asked Han Jiang with concern, "How is your hand? It's bleeding!"

Han Jiang didn't care, "It's nothing, just scratched the skin."

Yelena bandaged Han Jiang with the bandage she carried with her. Tang Feng suddenly slapped his head and said in surprise, "I know why Genghis Khan fell here!"

"You mean that the Mongolian army also encountered the same situation as ours?" Han Jiang immediately understood what Tang Feng meant.

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, this can explain why Yelu Chucai's paper said that Genghis Khan fell off his horse first, and then was attacked by party members."

"But... But what happened just now? Could it be... Could it be that those lonely ghosts who died here showed their spirits?" The timid Liang Yuan said nervously.

"Don't be so superstitious, okay?" Tang Feng reprimanded softly.

"Then what do you think is going on?" Liang Yuan was quite unconvinced.

"I think... I think it may be related to the special geological structure here!" Tang Feng could only say this in general.

At this time, Makarov took Tang Feng's words and said: "Tang Feng is right. The Futu Gorge is narrow, long, and winding. And because of the special structure in the canyon, the airflow has a lot of power in the narrow passage, causing flying sand and rocks, the wind howling, and the animals are frightened!"

"Thanks to Han Jiang not getting on the camel just now, otherwise we would definitely be overturned by the camel." Yelena bandaged Han Jiang, and asked Han Jiang with a smile, "Do you have foresight?"

Han Jiang smiled, "I can pinch my fingers to tell fortunes! Do you want me to do the math for you?"

"Okay, stop joking, we have to wait until we get out! We are not out of danger yet, what should we do next?" Liang Yuan said worriedly.

"There's nothing to do, we can't go back, we can only go forward and get out of this canyon!" Han Jiang paused for a while, and then said: "Don't ride camels, let's lead the camels."

Everyone nodded, led the camels, and continued to move forward silently.

The Futu Gorge became quiet. Except for the footsteps of a few people, no sound could be heard. The canyon was wide and narrow at times, with twists and turns. Feng Tang found traces of water scoured on the ground, "It seems that there is water passing by. here."

"From a geological point of view, this kind of winding and deep canyon must have been impacted by a powerful external force into its current appearance." Makarov said.

"You mean water?" Tang Feng was a little surprised.

"It's water. You see, the red rocks on both sides of the canyon are actually very fragile. As long as you tap it lightly with a hard object, it will easily collapse." Makarov tapped it casually with the handle of his gun. Sure enough, the red rock wall peeled off. A small piece came down, "Coupled with the impact of the powerful water flow, it became like this."

"A strong current? How strong can it be?"

"Enough power to cut through an entire mountain!" Makarov said with certainty.
