Xixia dead book

Chapter 52: Legend of the Undead in the Book of the Dead (52)
Tang Feng didn't answer, but slowly raised his stiff arm and pointed to the hole on the rock wall.Han Jiang looked along his arm, and there was indeed a small hole on a large black rock next to the bottom of the valley, but——in this dark hole, there were two green lights faintly flashing...

"It's a wolf!" Han Jiang broke out in a cold sweat.

"Snow Wolf! This is the real Snow Wolf!" Tang Feng muttered to himself.

Han Jiang and Tang Feng took two steps back at the same time.The two green lights in the cave became clearer and clearer. After observing for a while, Han Jiang judged: "This is a pregnant female wolf. There should be other wolves around here!"

As soon as Han Jiang finished speaking, there was a mournful howl of wolves not far away.The female wolf was not afraid, staring at the two uninvited guests in front of her, she suddenly raised her neck and howled, as if she was echoing the wolves not far away.

"Let's run?" Tang Feng came to his senses and suggested.

"No! We can't run, we have to retreat slowly." Han Jiang tried his best to maintain his composure.

"Do you think this cave will be the Blackhead Stone Chamber?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

"I'm asking you, you are an expert!"

"Expert? I haven't seen any black-headed stone chambers?" Tang Feng's words visibly trembled.

"I don't think so! This hole is very small, and it doesn't match the legendary black-headed stone chamber!"

"That's right! According to legend, the whole family of the Wuzang clan escaped the storm in the Heitoushishi, so it can be seen that the Heitoushishi should have a relatively large space." Tang Feng judged with what little reason he had left.

Han Jiang nodded, and said, "Let's think about how we can withdraw."

"Don't you have a gun?" Tang Feng reminded.

It was only then that Han Jiang remembered the gun he was carrying. He touched the gun on his body, yes, there is a gun, and it should be able to deal with this pregnant female wolf.But the pack of wolves that might appear at any time made Han Jiang give up the idea of ​​shooting, and he didn't use the gun unless it was absolutely necessary.

The sky was covered by large dark clouds, and the snow fell more and more heavily. Han Jiang and Tang Feng retreated slowly, away from the dark cave entrance and the magnificent glacier. Where the female wolf was, the two turned around and ran quickly to Cherokee on the pass.

Regardless of dizziness, slipping, or mountain reaction, Tang Feng and Han Jiang knew very well that they wanted to get out of here before the wolves appeared.The two finally returned to the pass after rolling and crawling. Makarov and Xu Renyu, who were in the Cherokee, saw that the two were in such a mess. They didn't know what they saw in the canyon. They hurriedly helped the two into the car, and asked with concern: "What did you see?"

Tang Feng was tortured by the altitude sickness and was speechless, and Han Jiang spit out a few words intermittently: "Wolf...wolf! This is not the place we are looking for, get out of here!"

"Could it be the wolf howling we heard at night?" Xu Renyu immediately understood what was going on, and quickly started the Cherokee, reversed the car beautifully, and turned the car around.But just when Xu Renyu was about to step on the accelerator to the maximum and was about to run away, he was stunned by the scene in front of him! "Squeak—" a piercing brake sound spread throughout the valley.

Xu Renyu was lying on the steering wheel, looking through the windshield, just below the pass in front of them, on the slope when they came, in the heavy snow, a lonely snow wolf stood in front of the car!
Everyone in the car was stunned.This is a beautiful wolf, Snow Flower has already dressed it in silver-white, which blends perfectly with its fur.It blocked the Cherokee's path, raised its proud head, and let out a terrifying howl against the cloud-covered sky.

Tang Feng trembled when he heard the howling. This was a scene he would never forget. Under the continuous snow mountain, in the heavy snow, this solitary snow wolf stood proudly and independently on the hillside. "What is it going to do? Why is it blocking our way?" Tang Feng murmured.

"Because we violated its territory! It is the king here!" Makarov suddenly explained.

Regardless of whether Makarov's explanation was correct or not, everyone was aware of the snow wolf's hostility towards them.

The wolf and the Cherokee, to be precise, should be a wolf and four people, just like this, the stalemate has been going on, and the snowflakes falling from the sky have gradually covered the way they came...

"If I don't go again, I won't be able to tell the way when I came out!" Xu Renyu reminded everyone.

"What do you say?" Han Jiang asked Xu Renyu back.

"Bump it!" Xu Renyu said.

Everyone has no idea about Xu Renyu's idea, and no one can estimate the consequences of bumping into it!

"Let me do it!" Tang Feng and Xu Renyu exchanged seats and sat in the driver's seat. He stared ahead, held the steering wheel tightly, and started the car.Tang Feng slowly reversed the car for a while, and 20 seconds later, Tang Feng stepped on the accelerator and drove straight to the snow wolf on the ramp, and the speed of the car was getting faster and faster.The headlights of the Cherokee shone brightly, honked the horn, and accelerated again, but the wolf on the opposite side was unafraid, motionless, and looked directly at the speeding car ahead.

Just when the other three thought that Tang Feng was going to hit the wolf, Tang Feng suddenly slammed on the brakes, and with another screeching sound of the brakes, the Cherokee stopped firmly in front of the snow wolf.Only two meters away, Cherokee was about to hit the snow wolf!
Two meters!The car and the wolf fell into a confrontation again, and this was a closer confrontation. The snow wolf's eyes emitted two green lights, and the strong light from the Cherokee's headlights shot directly at each other.The car and the wolf fought like this for 5 minutes, and finally the Cherokee turned off its headlights and was defeated!
Tang Feng started to reverse the car helplessly, Xu Renyu asked Tang Feng with a little contempt: "Why didn't you hit it?"

"Because they are the masters here, we are just guests, how can there be guests..."

Before Tang Feng finished speaking, Xu Renyu interrupted him: "Okay! Okay! Just be your guest. Let me see how you get there?"

Tang Feng ignored Xu Renyu. He backed up the car and observed the surrounding environment. When he stopped the car, Han Jiang came to Tang Feng's side and pointed to the hillside on the right side of the ramp.Tang Feng immediately understood, and told Makarov and Xu Renyu: "Sit down, we are going to pass!"

After finishing speaking, Tang Feng slammed on the gas pedal and rushed towards the wolf from the ramp again.Makarov and Xu Renyu thought that Tang Feng had made up his mind this time to bump into the snow wolf blocking the way, but when Cherokee was approaching the wolf, Tang Feng turned the steering wheel violently and rushed up the snow-covered road next to the ramp. hillside.The hillside is at a 45° angle to the ground, and the body of the Cherokee is almost tilted over, sliding completely on the two wheels on the left.

Cherokee bypassed the wolf on the ramp, Tang Feng turned the direction again, and drove the car back to the ramp.This series of actions was completed in less than half a minute, and the people in the carriage were thrown upside down, and they hadn't reacted at all; while the snow wolf on the ramp turned around swiftly, when the people in the carriage turned towards When I looked back, I saw the wolf raised its head to the sky and let out the familiar and frightening howl again.

Tang Feng slowed down the speed a little, got off the ramp, and drove towards the canyon where he came.He has been in the rearview mirror, watching the snow wolf that is still standing in the wind and snow, until the snow wolf disappears in the rearview mirror...

"I hope I don't encounter wolves again!" Tang Feng said with a sigh of relief.

"But I have to tell you with regret that as long as we are still in this mountain, there is a high possibility of us encountering wolves, because wolves are not solitary animals, they will at least be in a group." Makarov warned.

"That's right! We must have heard more than two wolves howl at night, but why did we only encounter two wolves here? What about the other wolves?" Xu Renyu asked suspiciously.

"Maybe these are just two isolated wolves, we haven't encountered a real pack of wolves yet!" Han Jiang speculated.

Han Jiang's words made everyone shudder, the four looked at each other, no one knew when they would meet these wolves again?Who doesn't know why they have guns and cars, well-equipped, and why they are so afraid of these wolves?

The carriage fell into silence. Han Jiang caught a glimpse of Tang Feng's thoughtful look, and broke the silence and asked Tang Feng, "What are you thinking about? Are you scared?"

"Afraid? No! No. I suddenly thought of someone!" Tang Feng replied.

"Alone? Who? It can't be Liang Yuan, right?" Han Jiang deliberately joked, trying to ease the tense atmosphere in the car.

But Tang Feng said seriously: "I saw that wolf just now, and suddenly thought of Yuan Hao!"

"Yuan Hao? The founding emperor of Xixia! Why did you suddenly think of him?" Han Jiang was quite surprised.

Tang Feng explained: "Because there was such a story recorded in wild history, Yuan Hao's mother, Wei Mu, was the daughter of the Wei Mu family, the chieftain of the party. She first married Yuan Hao's father, Tuoba Deming, and soon after the marriage , she gave birth to Yuan Hao. At that time, the party members were led by Tuo Deming's father Xiping Wang Tuoba Jiqian, and their strength was still very weak. After Wei Mu gave birth to Yuan Hao, the party members were attacked The attack of the Tubo people. The attack of the Tubo people was a big blow to the party members. The Tuoba family was completely dispersed. Yuan Hao who was in his infancy is gone."

"Disappeared? What happened later?" Makarov found that he was becoming more and more interested in the history of China, especially the history of Xixia.

"During the melee, Wei Mu was snatched by the Tubo people. The Tubo chief took a fancy to Wei Mu's beauty, so he made Wei Mu his queen. Wei Mu was a weak woman unable to resist, so she became a Tubo again. The queen of the people, and later gave birth to a son for the great chief of Tubo."

"It's amazing, this Wei Mushi has become the queen of the Dangxiang people, and the queen of the Tubo people." Makarov sighed.

"This is not surprising. Most of the nomadic peoples on the Eurasian continent had the custom of robbing marriages in the early days. Wasn't Genghis Khan's queen Borte also robbed by Mier beggars and gave birth to Genghis Khan's eldest son Wuchi. These ethnic groups all They are descendants of wolves, so it is not surprising to snatch their relatives." Tang Feng explained.

"What about Yuan Hao?" Makarov asked.

"Yuan Hao was still an infant at the time. During the melee, he was abandoned in the wilderness. His grandfather and father packed up the remnants and returned to the original camp, but they couldn't find little Yuan Hao. Everyone thought Yuan Hao was dead. But Yuan Hao is not dead, he was saved by the wolf!"

"Saved by a wolf?" Makarov was full of surprise.

"Yes. The wolf found this child. For some unknown reason, instead of eating Yuan Hao, the wolf saved him. Just like the 'werewolf' in your ancient western legends, Yuan Hao drank wolf's milk before he was born. He didn't starve to death, but he didn't turn into a werewolf, but returned to the party members. This Yuan Hao, who grew up drinking wolf milk without eating hawks and wolves, became the hero of Megatron Shuomo when he grew up. Lord. Therefore, at that time, many people believed that Yuan Hao had wolf blood flowing in his body, which not only gave him the quality of perseverance, but also created his cruel character in the future. The Wei Mu family killed the Yeli family that had made great contributions to Xixia, including his queen Yeli. Therefore, whenever someone cursed Yuan Hao, they would say that he was not a human being, but a vicious A wolf! And when these words reach Yuan Hao's ears, the wolf nature in him will be unleashed unprecedentedly."

"Hearing what you said, combined with the image of Yuan Hao in historical records, I think the founding emperor of the Xixia Dynasty is the incarnation of a wolf. He has many characteristics of a wolf." Makarov said.Xu Renyu thought for a while, and said: "You said that, I also remembered that Yuan Hao did survive by drinking wolf's milk. All the emperors and monarchs in Chinese history, big and small, grew up drinking wolf's milk. The big one is probably only Yuan Hao!"

"That's right! There is only Yuan Hao. I look at the history of the Dangxiang people. Before Yuan Hao, they were often bullied by other tribes. Tubo, Uighur, Khitan, etc., all wanted to cut a knife on the Dangxiang people, including the Tang and Song dynasties. The party members claimed to pay tribute. However, Yuan Hao changed everything. He not only wiped out the Uighurs and drove away Tubo, but also fought against the Song Dynasty and Khitan, which were several times stronger than himself. If the party members before Yuan Hao were a group of arbitrary The sheep slaughtered by people, the party members under the leadership of Yuan Hao are no longer sheep, but a pack of wolves!" Tang Feng said.

"According to you, Yuan Hao endowed the party with the wolf spirit!" Han Jiang laughed.

Tang Feng nodded, and suddenly interrupted everyone and said, "Sit down, I'm going to take a shortcut and get out of this canyon early." After speaking, Cherokee rushed straight up a hillside next to the canyon.

Cherokee climbed over two low mountains, and then stopped the violent bumping. Han Jiang asked Tang Feng: "Is this the right way for you?"

Tang Feng looked at the GPS and the electronic compass, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, the road will not go wrong! You should think about what to do next! Regardless of whether he is a wolf or not, our primary goal is to Find the black head stone room as soon as possible, and find the second jade screen!"

Han Jiang looked at the map and said worriedly: "I don't know what to do now. We hope that neither the largest areas A nor B have found the black-headed stone chamber. It seems that we have to start again."

"Could it be that all this is a legend?" Xu Renyu asked doubtfully.

"No! This is impossible. This is a secret kept by the Wuzang family for generations. They even risked their lives for this secret, so it can't be wrong! Everything we have experienced before proves that this ancient legend is not a legend but History, so we have no reason to doubt." Tang Feng refuted Xu Renyu's question.

"It's not just that there is no reason to doubt, but that we can't, and we are not allowed to doubt, because it will shake our determination, which I will never allow." Han Jiang's words temporarily dispelled everyone's doubts.

Tang Feng was thinking while driving, and muttered to himself: "What is the problem?"

"Maybe our inference at the beginning was wrong." Han Jiang said suddenly.

"Wrong?" Everyone didn't understand Han Jiang's words, and stared at Han Jiang with doubts.

Han Jiang explained: "Tang Feng, you and Professor Luo agreed that the Blackhead Stone Chamber should be in the relatively low eastern part of Animaqing Snow Mountain. Have you ever thought about whether there is any problem with this inference?"

Tang Feng suddenly came to his senses: "You mean...Professor Luo and I both inferred wrongly that the black-headed stone chamber is not in the eastern part of Animaqing Snow Mountain, but in the western part of Animaqing Snow Mountain?"

"I didn't say that you and Professor Luo were wrong. I just said it was possible. Is there such a possibility?" Han Jiang asked.

"Now that I think about it, it's totally possible!" Tang Feng confirmed Han Jiang's conjecture, but soon fell into doubts again, "But... But I really can't imagine that the party members will cross the towering and steep west of Animaqing Snow Mountain Snow Mountain."

"Perhaps it was a last resort. In addition to the Mongols' pursuit, they may have been attacked by local tribes, or for some other reason?" Makarov speculated.

"There may be anything. Now we need to contact the headquarters again, so that the headquarters can pass on the detailed geological data of the western part of Animaqing Snow Mountain to us for research." Han Jiang said.

Tang Feng listened to Han Jiang's words, nodded, and said, "That's right! The two of us wanted to go together, so I didn't continue along the canyon to return to the original path just now."

Han Jiang immediately understood Tang Feng's intentions, and continued: "So now you go out of the canyon and continue to drive westward. Your goal is Dawu Town, Maqin County, the capital of Qinghai Guoluo Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture."

"Well! My idea is to go to Dawu Town to rest for a while, and at the same time contact the headquarters to re-study all the geological data about Animaqing Snow Mountain, and then determine the next step!" After Tang Feng finished his thoughts, everyone They all agreed, and Tang Feng suddenly added without thinking, "But, hurry up!" After speaking, Tang Feng accelerated the speed and headed towards Dawu Town at full speed.

When it was dark, Cherokee slowly drove into Dawu Town...
