It took a while before Jimo continued to talk.

At that time, in addition to the six famous guides, there were thirty-seven people, each of whom were very skilled and bold. Of course, Li Wei could not agree with this. His skills may not be high, and his courage may not be great. It was just that the millions of ivory in his dream made these people very brave.

Going south, the six guides finally hesitated. They had never been to this mountain, but they had heard of its name, Kachin and other ridges, which were translated into the Tang Dynasty's official language, called the mountain where the devil lives.

When Li Wei heard this, he remembered a mountain range, which was very similar to what Jimo said, that is, the famous Wild Man Mountain. The territory of Northern Burma has actually always belonged to China. Later, Britain forcibly rented tribute and handed it over to Myanmar when retreating. For some reason, when the national border was divided, China did not ask for it. Perhaps because of this or other reasons, it later came out of Kokang. A very pitiful group of Han people and homeless children. In addition, it was rich in jade. The reason why it is famous was that during the War of Resistance Against Japan, when more than 200,000 Kuomintang troops retreated, only 70,000 people came out of the Wild Man Mountain, and 150,000 people died in a foreign land for the complex terrain and poisons of the Wild Man Mountain.

Because they wanted to escape, the map of the Tang Dynasty was very detailed. The map is not very standard now, but the two barbarians of the Wangmen and the Mutual tribes can still see many areas in the later Northern Myanmar border. They went south along the wild elephant and were likely to reach this mountain range full of death.

But after more than a thousand years, the landform has changed a lot, and the name is even more so, and it may not be the Wild Man Mountain. Moreover, because there are very few developments, there are many places in the south of Nanzhao, which are in primitive states, tropical rainforest climate, complex terrain, lush and tall trees and poisons that are not visible to the sky. For the people today, they are all places where people are free and do not approach them.

There is no way to confirm, so I can only listen to him.

It was August, and there were strong winds and heavy rains from time to time, and this journey was even harder. Fortunately, the elephant slowed down and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Then the elephant came to a small river and stood for a long time before crossing the river. In fact, many rivers in the south could not be swimable. Some rivers had undercurrents, and the river surface seemed to be calm, but after a while, they were immediately sucked into the bottom of the river. It might only appear a few miles away or dozens of miles away.

This is not very rare in the Central Plains region. It refers to the upper reaches of rivers, such as the current Jinchuan, Nuoyi River, Yak River, Lancang River, Nujiang River, Lishui River, Zang River and tributaries. There are many areas where this happens, let alone underground rivers. Therefore, the storytelling later said that goose feathers can sink, not really sink, but suck them down. Of course, not every section is like this, so it is needed, and for this reason.

But the several guides invited may have arrived near this place, but they have not reached the Demon King Mountains. They don’t know the situation of this river, but in fact, the guides have already started to give up. It’s just that the three of them have given a generous "golden silver" that they barely continue to lead the way.

There were many "strange people" in the group. Seeing the elephant crossing, they were almost safe. So they set up a raft and prepared to swim. However, after the first row of rafts were put down, a whirlpool was sucked in. The two guides and the four people following him were sucked into the river together with the supplies. There was no sign of people. A guide standing on the river bank said in horror, saying something fast, but Jimo didn't understand.

After a while, it settled down and then explained that this was a encounter with the ghost river. There were dark whirlpools, but sometimes there were no. Some tribes worshipped the elephants and said that the elephants were spiritual, so they knew when there were dark whirlpools and when there was no, but humans did not have this ability. When Li Wei heard this, he remained silent. This explanation was also wrong. Animals were less intelligent than humans, but they had natural intuitions, but they were not able to reach humans. It was probably because the elephants also had this intuition. However, it was the "age of ghosts and gods" and not the "age of science". The explanation was unclear, so they didn't say it directly.

Jimo continued to talk, there were more than 30 people in their ranks, supplies, and more than a dozen Nanzhao horses. I don’t know when or when there will be no such thing as this ghost whirlpool, so I dare not cross it. So I turned downstream and found an open place to cross it. This time I was peaceful, but nightmare began to come.

After crossing the river and returning to its original place, the elephant was gone, but the ground was covered with tall trees, and the ground was very wet. The elephant left and the footprints remained. The group continued to follow the footprints. But gradually, they went deeper into the dense forest again. The light was not good, there were too many animals, and the footprints could not be identified, so they finally began to be confused.

The sky gradually became dark, so everyone had to set up camp. In fact, when we got here, the environment was extremely harsh, with poisonous creatures swimming from time to time, and even the mosquitoes flying in the sky were as big as small flies. If it weren't for a few guides, the group of people would have gone here without returning.

As night came, dark clouds began to rise in the sky. At first, they thought it was going to rain, so they moved the tent to a high place. After a while, the black clouds came over, and there was lightning and lightning from time to time, and they thought it was going to rain. But a person with good eyes suddenly screamed, look at it.

A flash of lightning flashed, and I saw countless troops fighting in the middle of the black clouds, and the battlefield was moving towards them. There were many people in their group, and six people had an accident, and more than thirty people were carrying weapons. But this was a large-scale army fight. If they were dragged in, there would be no return.

A guide suddenly said in horror again, "They are not humans fighting, but devils fighting in hell, looking at their shadows. They are not far away. Lightning illuminates the earth from time to time, and they can be seen very misty. They are not like warriors on earth."

Li Wei also knows some of this, it is still a mirage, but a very rare type of Haishi Lipa Tower. A mirage mainly refracts the distant scenery through the clouds, reflecting a phantom, and going to other places. However, this mirage does not reflect the scenery in the distance, but things that happened before, such as a battlefield a thousand years ago, or an event five hundred years ago. The principle cannot be explained before he penetrated it. Therefore, some scientists say that it is a small space-time black hole, such as an aircraft suddenly disappearing, and it can appear in another place twenty years later, and the people on the plane disappear or all die. Or the electromagnetic adsorption cloud is just a hypothesis, but none of them are reasonable scientific explanations.

It may be that the battlefield here or elsewhere was reflected by lightning or other reasons. Especially the population here is almost extinct, very primitive environment, and more similar to incredible events. But I still didn't say it.

When encountering this situation, the group was scared. Regardless of the weather, they started packing their luggage and running away. This escape lost their direction. People's inertia was faster to run to the lower place, so they ran into a ravine. The more they ran, the lower they were, and they stopped. They discovered the strangeness of the ravine. There were many tall "mushrooms" growing in the ravine, half a person tall, and the ravine exuded a rotten smell. These mushrooms were bright in color. Of course, the brighter the mushrooms were the stronger they were. I knew they could not eat them, but they were still amazed at the strange scene in front of them. However, at this time, some strange sounds were heard. One of the old guides immediately shouted and fled.

For some reason, they fled to the end of the ravine. After a while, the sound became louder and they ran away quickly, but the sound still chased after him. With the light of the torch, they finally saw the source of the sound. It turned out to be a dense crowd of ant colony. After a while, a few horses and a few people who were behind them were chased. The ant colony spread over, and then the people disappeared, leaving only a pile of bones. At this moment, a small river appeared in front of them. In horror, regardless of the undercurrents, they pounced down one by one, but the killing poke had just begun. The river was very calm, but as soon as the people went there, countless crocodiles emerged from the river.

When everyone fled to the other side of the river, only sixteen people were left in the process, including three guides, all of whom were killed. At this time, Jimo and the other three had no intention of finding the Xiang Tomb. In such a harsh environment, no wonder that no one has ever known where the Xiang Tomb is. He had such thoughts and was ready to leave.

But God seemed to be joking about them. After running all night, there were only two horses and a small amount of supplies. I didn't see the elephant tomb, but I saw some buildings along the tall hills. Everyone felt very strange together and walked over to ask. But there was no one in the building, but I saw many bones. Some buildings were pushed by their hands and the whole house collapsed immediately. When I walked to the middle, I saw some stone buildings, which were still very strong, and some stone sculptures, elephants, and a bird man with wings. It was probably the totem of this Mo Ming disappeared tribe. However, the old guide who survived by luck said that this bird man was the totem of some tribes of Ailao who had resisted Liu Mao back then. Why there were elephants?

Then the door of the largest stone chamber was opened, and Jimo said, "Your Highness, what have you seen in the subjects?"

"What did you see?"

"Countless gold, silver, gems, jade."

Jade is jade, but in the Tang Dynasty, although jade was rare, most of which were tributed by various tribes in the south, it was not considered expensive. At the same time, Nanzhao and the Piao Kingdom had small countries such as Ganzhifu and Mola in the west of the Piao Kingdom. When they came to pay tribute, in addition to bringing jade, there were also various gems, ivory, and other specialties. The Eastern Palace also divided some of them.

When Jimo said this, he took out a few gems, probably because jade was worthless. He only brought a few green rubies, and a statue made of gold. He was a fierce man wearing a strange costume and holding a big snake in his hand. He looked very terrifying.

Li Wei looked at it and handed it back. Jimo continued to talk, and the gems and statues made of gold and silver made everyone's eyes dizzy. They came with great difficulty, just for wealth. They could not find the tomb of the elephant, and the same was true for these gold and silver. So they put the gold and silver into their pockets. In addition to these, there were many murals, but no one paid attention to them. At this moment, the old guide shouted, "Don't move these goods." But it was too late, and there were sounds outside again."

When everyone heard the sound, they were afraid, so Jimo asked someone to go out to see it, but they immediately came back and said in panic that there were many snakes. They were very headache when they heard the snakes, and they might not be very big. However, as long as some snakes were bitten by it, people might die immediately. So they ran out to see it together, but this time it was not a poisonous snake, but a python as thick as a bucket.

"Is there such a place in the world?" Bier asked in surprise.

Li Wei did not make a sound. Later, the Wild Man Mountain was so powerful. Moreover, it was possible that the Wild Man Mountain was not destroyed at this time. But why did these gold and silver appear in that mountain range? Could it be that some tribes in Ailao that were unwilling to surrender to the Han Dynasty during the Eastern Han Dynasty? Or were the original tribes who suddenly moved or did not move due to various reasons, and they suffered a catastrophe. These property were left behind? Of course, in this era, it might be just a mystery that he went there himself. However, the tribes in the south were very fond of gold and silver.

Jimo continued to say that after seeing this situation, everyone had to run away again. Fortunately, it was daytime. But these pythons seemed to have a grudge against them and chased them desperately. I don’t know how far they ran, and a mountain stopped them. There was a cave below the mountain. In fact, even the cave was very dangerous, but the pythons behind them kept chasing, and the three slow-running followers became the python's snacks again, and were swallowed and screamed shrillly. As well as the old guide, they were swallowed because they were a little older. Everyone had to go into the cave.

Strangely, when we arrived at the cave, the python stopped coming in. But we were surrounded by the entrance of the cave and refused to leave. Everyone had to go into the cave to see if there was a way out. But we actually saw another shocking scene. When we arrived at the cave, there was a large cave, with countless corpses of elephants inside. Some of the corpses of elephants were very large, twice as big as ordinary elephants. The stream flowing from some unknown place was divided into several streams, slowly heading to the corner of the cave and flowing down into the undercurrent underground.

Finally, Li Wei knew little about the tomb of the elephant and the tomb of the object. Could it be that these big elephants were mammoths? But I don’t know what era the mammoths came from and whether they could keep the corpses until today?

The elephant who led the way over was also inside, and was dead. But it didn't die for a long time, so it didn't rot. But it was strange that the elephant died clearly, and her eyes were closed peacefully, but the flesh on her body was moving. After encountering so many thrilling things, even no one dared to touch the ivory. But unexpectedly, the change regenerated. The skin of the elephant suddenly bloomed, and many huge leeches crawled out of the elephant's belly. Only then did they know the reason for the elephant's flesh being moved and broken. It turned out that the leeches crawled in. Not only did they climb up from the elephant's belly, but countless huge leeches crawled up from the stream.

Then I understood why even the python didn't dare to get in. It was because of the fear of these leeches. Everyone had to run away again and ran to the depths of the cave. There was a small hole leading to the mountainside. I didn't dare to stay anymore, and I escaped north again. I got lost. After a few days, the two were killed. One of them couldn't help but jumped into the cliff and committed suicide, but they escaped by chance. At this time, there were only thirteen people left in the group. However, just when they thought they were safe, the three of them began to vomit and diarrhea again. They were not gallbladder, but small leeches. When they heard this, even Li Wei felt disgusted.

I felt very miserable, Jimo finished speaking, stopped for a long time before saying, "In the end, only six of us are left to come back."

After telling this legendary and tragic story, Li Wei asked: "You saw you, and you told this story again. What is your intention?"

Jimo said, "Originally, we have no hope for this tomb of elephant. But when we heard the court let the Crown Prince Left Guard Deputy Leader Liang Jishou be the chief general of Yaozhou Road and manage the southwest. If the court mobilizes a large army and goes to that mountain, it is OK. Although it is dangerous, it may not be impossible to have a large army. There are countless gold, silver and gems in that mountain range, which are the second. The main reason is that there are many ivory in that cave, which are piled up like mountains. The subjects don't know that there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands."

"Even if the imperial court dispatches a large army, there will be no turmoil among some of the southwest men. Besides, from Yaozhou to the place you mentioned, it is so dangerous to cross the barbarians in the southwest..."

"Your Highness, the subjects are not successful. One is that they are not enough, and the other is that there are few people. If they are prepared, they are also OK. For example, the ant colony is afraid of fire and can have more nitrate. For example, leeches are afraid of salt marsh, just prepare some salt marsh. For example, if there are many crocodiles, there are many soldiers, and they are also afraid of bows and arrows. The same is true for the python. Some sacrifices are made, but the harvest is very abundant."
