Chapter 11 Section 10 Paradise Lake

Chu Feng followed the young man through the mountainside for a long time, and only then did he really feel what the young man meant when he said "the mountain was hollowed out". When he was about to exit, he looked back at the huge void, and couldn’t help sighing once again how powerful people’s spiritual power was at that time. If someone doesn’t believe in examples of spiritual victory over matter, just let him come here to have a look, and it’s guaranteed to make him dumb. speechless. The opening where Chu Feng entered was obliquely below the right side of the boulder where he was fighting the wolf king, and the location was very hidden.Unless someone finds this position on the boulder and jumps off, no one can find out that there is another universe inside.The young man is obviously very familiar with this. When the wolf king was driven away, Chu Feng was already unconscious. The young man was not strong enough, so he had to push him off the boulder, and fell directly into the mountainside, and then dragged him to the place where he faced each other. Ventilated and dry place.As a result, although the first few groups of people found traces of Chu Feng's activities, they couldn't find his whereabouts.

And the exit at this time is very aboveboard.An obvious big hole is opened on a gentle hillside, and there is no shelter in front of the hole. This was specially prepared by the builder to allow tanks to drive in and hide in case of need. "Where is this?" As soon as Chu Feng came out of the cave, he knew that this place was far away from the valley where he met the wolves. "Here, it should be on the border of Tekes County." The young man was familiar with the surrounding terrain and replied without raising his head. "Tex?" Chu Feng carefully searched for this place name in his mind, it seems to be a very distinctive county town that he has heard of in recent years.

"Bagua City?" "Hey, you also know Bagua City?" The young man had a unique sense of pride as a Yili person, and when he heard Chu Feng's whisper, he immediately became excited. "I just heard about it!" Chu Feng really couldn't remember where and when he heard about it. He only had a vague impression in his mind, and he didn't know its exact location on the map.Seeing that the boy turned and started to walk eastward, he did not hesitate and hurriedly followed. What Chu Feng didn't know was that his current location was only tens of kilometers away from Ling Ning and the others. If he continued to go south, he might meet Ling Ning and others the next day.However, there seemed to be a hand in the dark, which randomly pulled here.He also gradually drifted away from this little girl who was looking for him wholeheartedly and caring about his safety.

Therefore, the farthest distance in the world often arises: I am approaching you, but you don't know it! The chat in the mountainside last night had already let Chu Feng know that the Xibe youth Xilin in front of him was from a well-known family of sharpshooters among the Xibe people.Although it seems that archery has no other uses except sports arenas, his family still retains the traditional practice of archery trials for the next generation. During the chat in the middle of the night, apart from admiring the big golden eagle, the boy was also envious, jealous and admiring of his family's cousin who was selected into the national archery team last year.

Originally, he should have ended this year's trial and went back to school long ago, but it happened that the big golden eagle was injured in a fierce fight with the "Wusun King" last time, so he had to ask his father for permission and let him go back to school first to help him ask for leave , and he was about to leave the mountain to go home after the big golden eagle recovered from his injury, but he happened to save Chu Feng who was surrounded by wolves. "If you don't hurry back to class, won't you, Ama, be in a hurry?" Seeing that the young man didn't seem to be worried about the homework he had left behind, Chu Feng couldn't help chasing after him and asking.

"It's okay, last time I asked Ama to take a month's leave for me, and it's only been half a month, it's okay to go back later!" The boy still didn't look back. Seeing him hurrying on his way sometimes, and whistling at the big golden eagle hovering above his head, Chu Feng was extremely busy, so he didn't mention that thing that would obviously disappoint him. This route, which is said to be the ancient Wusun Road, runs through the entire Tianshan Mountains from north to south, and there is more than one route.Regardless of whether it is the Central Tianshan Mountain or the Western Tianshan Mountain, there are many ancient plank roads that can be seen to be artificially built, and they are all called the Wusun Ancient Road.It is said that they were all excavated by the people of Wusun in those days. As for its use, it is said to be for military affairs, which is the way of soldiers, and it is said to be used for herding, which is actually the way of herding.Now the Wusun people have long since disappeared, and even the Kazakh people, who are the inheritors of blood, don't know anything about it.Only on the cliffs of the majestic green mountains, the ancient plank roads built by the predecessors with great painstaking efforts, are still waiting silently.

"Phew! This plank road is too dangerous! When it was being built, I don't know how many people died!" Chu Feng turned around from a steep bend of the cliff plank road with a cat on his back.There are hundreds of meters deep up and down here, only the 80 cm wide ancient plank road at the foot is firmly embedded in the cliff.At that corner, due to age, wind and rain erosion, some places have collapsed, making the current passage extremely thrilling. People who don't have a certain amount of physical strength really can't go down this road.Not to mention anything else, let's just say that when the two of them crossed the glacier on the top of the mountain just now, the ice crevasses covered in a network were shocking, and the deepest one was at least a hundred meters deep.Chu Feng once stopped in front of an ice crevasse. If he stumbled, he would have starved to death in it if he didn’t fall to his death. The ice crevasses here cannot be climbed up even if someone rescues them. rise.Even the corpses will have to wait for the snow to melt in the coming year and be washed out by the flood—of course, this depends on luck.

The young Xilin also had to be very energetic here, he seemed to be jumping left and right without any rules, but in fact he was going to jump over the ice cracks.After walking through this area with great difficulty, he couldn't help stopping to wipe his sweat.The big golden eagle circling in the sky didn't dare to fly high, and kept circling at a very low altitude.Looking at the meaning, it seems that once the boy has an accident, it will dive down immediately.Chu Feng didn't dare to be careless, his eyes were fixed on the boy's foothold, and the journey was safe and sound.

When going down the glacier, the slippery feeling on the soles of his feet told Chu Feng that it was more dangerous here.The perennial erosion of the glacier has made the soil under the ice extremely soft, and the large and small stones are even more difficult to stumble.When one foot is deep and one foot is shallow, one must keep the center of gravity behind at all times, otherwise it is very likely to slip and slip.The young man seemed to take this path often, and he passed it lightly and skillfully without much effort.Chu Feng came down cautiously, his legs and feet couldn't help but feel a little weak.

As soon as I got off the glacier, I walked on an ancient and magical plank road.Looking at the up and down straight cliffs, Chu Feng couldn't imagine what kind of price the ancients paid to build such a neat plank road in such a precipitous place!After turning this steep bend, he couldn't help but let out an exclamation, but suddenly he felt something was wrong! The boy who usually chattered and was even a bit noisy, didn't answer his words at this time, but stood there motionless, completely stunned! Chu Feng stepped forward quickly, and was a little dumbfounded when he saw it!

In fact, there was nothing special in front of the two of them, that is, a lake.Chu Feng has seen many mountain lakes, not to mention the distant ones. In recent years, he has seen the gentle and demure lake like Kanas Lake, the small and exquisite lake like the mysterious valley; Ulungu Lake and other lakes.It stands to reason that even if the small lake in front of him is backed by snow-capped mountains and grasslands, with shining golden leaves and more birds, it wouldn't make him dumbfounded. But it was those big white birds that made him dumbfounded.The dense white glistening birds that covered the sky and the ground made Chu Feng, who claimed to be well-informed, couldn't help being dumbfounded. "This, is this a swan?!" Not sure. "Hmm!" The boy hadn't recovered yet. "So big? So many? We're not in Swan Lake, are we?" Chu Feng felt a little bit of that! "It's still early to Swan Lake!" Xilin said impatiently. Those noble white swans in front of me seem to be a circle bigger than usual.Moreover, they fly up and down non-stop at this time, with white bodies and red crowns, layer by layer, a white cloud when they fly up, and even more dazzling red when they fall.There are also many people standing on tiptoe and spreading their wings on the lake, dancing the exquisite "water ballet".Sometimes they stand upside down, and their bodies extend almost vertically into the water; sometimes they catch floating grass stalks and turn their necks back and forth; sometimes they squat into the grass to search for delicate grass leaves.The swan's slender neck makes it have an elegant body. When looking for food, its neck can be bent and twisted at will, drawing a series of smooth arcs. Look at the swans with beautiful white feathers spinning and falling in the sky, spinning again, and falling again.Chu Feng's eyelids twitched suddenly. A dazzling golden light spot suddenly appeared, plunged into the soft white, and screamed "quack!" That is? "Elden! Don't—" The young man couldn't bear it. It seemed that the white and noble elf in front of him should not have had a tragic experience. "Yaoer!" The big golden eagle's loud cry tore through the sky.The swans also seemed to know that it was not easy to provoke, and they scattered in all directions, causing countless white feathers to sway in the air.Fortunately, these swans seem to have engraved nobility and elegance into their bones. Even though they were a little flustered in the process of fleeing for their lives, they were not too embarrassed. "Yaoer——" The big golden eagle didn't attack the white swan at all, it plunged into the water like a golden thunderbolt, and then flew high quickly.In just a few seconds, Chu Feng could only see that it seemed to have a small fluffy animal with four limbs in its mouth.Soon, it became an indistinguishable golden dot in the sky. "This Erden will scare me!" Seeing the big golden eagle going away, the young Xilin was not only not worried, but heaved a sigh of relief. "So fast!" Chu Feng muttered to himself, "No wonder it is called 'Elden', it really looks like a ray of light." The white swans were not disturbed by this episode, and the formation they were forced to disperse just now quickly resumed.Most of them continued to do their original work by the water. There were only a few of them. I don’t know if it was because they lost a few feathers just now. They found a small piece of water alone and stood there. , twisting her long and beautiful neck, dipped her beak in water one after another, and combed the feathers on her back, looking quite self-pitying. The road that Xilin walked is very remote. Although the adventure sports are booming nowadays, there are many "donkey friends" who come to walk the Wusun ancient road, but on this road, Xilin walks several times every year, but rarely meets accompany.The altitude here is not low, and local herdsmen seldom go to such a high-altitude area to graze. Therefore, this lake can be regarded as an inaccessible place. "If there is not already a Swan Lake, it can really be called 'Swan Lake'." Chu Feng was talking about the "nine bends and eighteen bends" located in the Bayinbulak Grassland at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.Every year in summer, thousands of swans come to inhabit there, and it has been given the title of "Swan Lake". "Well, but, when the little swans in Swan Lake hatch in June and are taken by the swan parents to test the flight, there will be much more noise than this!" The young Xilin felt that he was a person who had seen the world, so he couldn't make too much fuss. up! "Oh, did you see that scene? It's more spectacular than here?" Chu Feng wanted to tease this handsome young man. "I saw it when I was a child!" The young man smiled, "Ama took me there before I went to school. Those little swans that just hatched, their yellow fluff hadn't completely retreated, they just swayed." I learned to fly with my Ama, Erma (Xibe language: Mom and Dad), hee hee, it was very fun!" The teenager's memories seem to be very good. "Does this lake have a name?" Chu Feng asked the young man.If the locals named the lake, the boy must know it. "Paradise Lake!" The boy was still looking up at the sky, trying to find the figure of the big golden eagle. "Paradise Lake?" Chu Feng chewed on the name.A lake that can be named "paradise" always has its unusual features.He looked around the lake again, the lake is not big, only about four square kilometers, slightly boot-shaped, about 3,000 meters above sea level.The mirror-like lake, the mysterious ancient plank road, and the noble white swans all over the lake... From this point of view, it is indeed beautiful, but it is far from matching the word "paradise". "Why is it called 'Paradise Lake'? Is that what the locals call it?" "That's right! People in the mountains call it that." The young Xilin whistled a few times in a row, but he didn't get any response from the golden eagle. He turned around and said resentfully. Chu Feng looked at the sky, and the ice peaks in the distance began to glow red - the sun is going down!A colorful sunset rarely appeared in the sky, and a thin mist began to rise from the lake surface, rising higher and higher.The afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on it, and the colorful mist is rushing. It is really beautiful and beautiful. Although I am not a photography enthusiast, even if I see such a beautiful combination of light and shadow, I will not press the shutter frantically, but I always have a vision for appreciating beauty.Breathing the incomparably fresh air, standing on the edge of this mountain lake, one side is the ice peak dyed with red clouds, and the other side is pure white and pure thousands of swans dancing on the blue waves and in the colorful mist, the more hazy, The more people think about its dancing posture.Looking up is the blue sky and looking down is the dark green forest.Chu Feng suddenly breathed out at this time, and the heavy depression in his heart seemed to be exhaled with this breath, and the "Sword of Damocles" on his head that seemed to be cut off at any time was no longer so capable. threatening. Such a beautiful scenery, such a great river and mountain, not to mention that I am not dead yet, even if I will die tomorrow, I have to live a good life today, so that I can be worthy of the wonderful scenery arranged by God, isn’t it?
