Chapter 216 20. Death of the Explorer

The first of the eleventh mountain, Jingshan Mountain, is called Yiwang Mountain.The turbulent water flows out, and the east flows into Ji; the Kuang water flows out, and the southeast flows into Han, among which there are many Jiaos.There are many pines and cypresses on it, many lacquered catalpas on it, more red gold on its yang, and min on its yin. —— "Shan Hai Jing Zhong Shan Jing" In the Western Mountain Classic, there is a mountain of Yiwang. On that mountain, there is a fox with three tails, and a strange bird with three heads and six tails. It is really a collection of monsters and birds.In the Zhongshan Jing, there is also Yiwang Mountain with the same name, but there are not so many monsters on this mountain, why?

Because the monster on the Yiwang Mountain is too fierce, other monsters can't afford it, so they have to avoid it far away.The monster living on this Yiwang Mountain is the Jiao that we are all familiar with.Jiao is an animal that is related to dragons. The ancients said that it looks like a snake, but it has four legs, a small head, and a thin neck. There are white tumors on the neck, and the big one is more than a dozen thick. The size of an urn, it can devour people. From a scientific point of view, the jiao here is nothing more than a prehistoric dinosaur, and it is also the most gentle plesiosaur.This kind of dragon is herbivorous. Because of its huge size, it has to eat grass from morning to night. Logically speaking, it should not have time to eat people.But Jiao insists on eating people, so what can you do?

This story is hidden deep, let us fill in the blank part of the thinking puzzle, and it will be clear: There is a primitive warrior who has a beautiful dream in his life, eager to reach the place that only eagles can reach, so he set off ... Then people went looking for him, crossed the rapids, waded through the water where the beasts of the sea lurk, and came to a dangerous place, the dead zone, the world of worms...the explorer's body was found...here it is said The story of an explorer in ancient times, the explorer watched the high mountain in front of his house get angry every day, and he wanted to climb up to see the scenery no matter what he said.Everyone persuaded him left and right, but they couldn't stop him. In the end, the old man left the tribe and climbed the mountain alone.

Never come back. Not long after, his family begged the young people in the tribe to form a tracing team and climbed the mountain separately.The team first crossed a turbulent river, then passed a shallow bay with many beasts in the water, and finally found the explorer's body in a jungle.This brave ancestor, his body had grown maggots at this time, and there was nothing left after being eaten by the worms. Primitive people mourned this brave forerunner infinitely. In order to avoid the same tragedy, they told each other: Do not climb that mountain that is too high. These different descriptions combined to form Jiao's story.
