Strange?

I didn’t feel anything strange at all!!

This is what makes me most confused!

Just like a man and a woman, if they want to do anything good, they must have feelings for each other, right? Regardless of whether they have good feelings or bad feelings, they must at least have feelings first, right? Maybe the two people were fighting and rolling on the bed?

But if you look at each other and see that the other person is just a passerby and have no emotions in your heart, this is the real fate!!

Now I have absolutely no connection with this place. When I saw that Zhang Xinya seemed to have a connection with this place, I was greatly moved. I stopped busy setting up camp and took her to sit down by the edge of the woods and asked her what was wrong.

"I can't describe it well..."

Zhang Xinya thought for a while, then pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Look..."

These footprints are naturally left by us and spread into the distance.

I watched it for a long time and still didn't see anything.

"How stupid."

Zhang Xinya shook her head and said, "There are only our footprints here."

Now, I understand!!

Thinking back carefully, it is really true. Such a vast alpine meadow, covered with snow, is so smooth except for the footprints we stepped on not long ago!

Is this normal? Of course not!!

Taiyue Mountain is the largest national forest park in Shanxi. There are countless wild animals in it, with at least 156 species. This place is deep in the mountains, and no one comes here at all. It is said that wild animals should be very active!

Not long ago, when I was recuperating from my injury, Zhang Xinya followed Brother Kite out to hunt for prey more than once. There were many footprints left by animal activities on the snow, which left a deep impression on her, but there was nothing here. Comparing them with each other, she naturally

Something feels wrong!

Ordinarily, animal activities should be more frequent here!!

The reason is very simple. We have seen with our own eyes along the way that most of the mountains near the meadow are filled with pine trees. Herbivores do not like these things. Sheep eat all kinds of grass. For such an unscrupulous owner, they can only eat them occasionally.

A few bites of green pine leaves, but definitely not more!!

In other words, this large meadow should theoretically be the largest food source for all nearby herbivores!!

Winter is tough for carnivores, but it's also hard for herbivores, who will dig through the snow to eat the dead grass underneath!

But look at this vast snowfield. Apart from the footprints we left, there is no trace of wild beast activity anywhere?!

I used a shovel to pull away the snow, pulled out a ball of dead grass covered with ice particles from the ground, and looked at it carefully.

This is a Leymus chinensis, which is the most common grass on meadow grasslands. Most herbivores love to eat this stuff.

However, there are Leymus chinensis everywhere here, why are there no herbivores?

After thinking about it, there is only one reason - the grass in this place cannot be eaten. Out of an instinct of seeking good luck and avoiding evil, animals would rather go to further places to find food than survive here!

"Is it poisonous?"

I observed the Leymus chinensis in my hand. After looking for a long time, I didn't see any clues. After hesitating for a moment, I rushed up to a short hill not far away, picked up a big stone, swept away the snow on it, and sat down.

He took out his telescope and kept looking down at the entire snowfield, trying to find unusual places.

This is a long process, and I see it very carefully. I can clearly see every corner of the snowfield and every ups and downs of the terrain, and I have recorded it all in my mind.

Gradually, I finally saw a clue!

The color of the snow is different!!

This change is very, very weak. If I didn't observe every inch of the land meticulously, I wouldn't even be able to detect this color change at all.

To the west of this snowfield, the snow there shows a very light gray color.

And in the place we first explored, the snow there was pure white!

The difference between white and gray is very subtle!

"So, there should be a problem in the west?"

I put away my things, immediately got off the hill, and hurried towards the west.

Brother Yaozi and the others were confused by my series of weird actions, but seeing the joy on my face, they probably guessed that I had discovered something and followed me without saying a word.

After arriving at the west side of the snowfield, I immediately grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, held it in my hand, and used my body temperature to melt the snow away. When I opened my hand, snow water overflowed in my red and cold palm.

It flowed out, and some shiny spots appeared in the palm of my hand, just like the golden spots in the river sand under the sun, but these bright spots were silver!!

I shook my hand and rubbed it on my clothes to remove the silver spots. I looked at the sky and saw that it was going to be dark soon. I suddenly turned around and asked, "What do you think the temperature is outside right now?"

"It's hard to say."

Brother Yaozi said: "It's very cold in the mountains. The temperature is always lower than the temperature in the city. It should be around minus 40 degrees!"

I nodded, took a shovel, and cleared away a piece of snow under my feet. The frozen soil was black and gray, and the grass on the soil was also Leymus chinensis, but it grew very sparsely. I picked up the shovel and chopped hard on the ground.

After a moment, the ground was as hard as an iron plate!!

"I see……"

A smile finally appeared on my face: "This is what the so-called blue moon and blue lake are all about!!"

"What's going on?"

Lao Bai said impatiently: "You tell me, what's the point of selling!!"

"Keep it secret for now!"

I pointed to the short hilltop where I was staying before and said: "Tonight, my brothers will sleep on the top of the hill drinking the cold wind. When it gets dark, I will let you see a miracle!"

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Brother Yaozi and the others could only suppress their curiosity and followed me up the mountain. After eating some cold dry food in the cold wind, when it got completely dark, I immediately got out of the sleeping bag and put

We asked for all the flashlights.

Snap!!

When the flashlight was turned on, white light poured out and shone on the snow. The snow was filled with crystal light and became a vast expanse of white.

"That's it?"

Lao Bai said angrily: "You let us drink the northwest wind on the top of the mountain all night, and just watch this?"

I shook my head and told him not to worry, then turned off the flashlight and turned it on again. This is a dimming flashlight. This time the light has turned yellow. When it shined through, the entire snowfield was obviously much darker, but the snowfield

In the west, there are countless shining points, which look like a layer of stars on the ground. It is really beautiful.

Lao Bai couldn't say a word.

"This is the secret of the Blue Moon. If it wasn't winter and there was no snow on the ground, it would look even more amazing..."

I sighed: "Actually, there is no necessary relationship between blue lakes and the appearance of the blue moon. There are no blue lakes here, some are just mercury!!"

The truth is actually very simple, but we were fooled by what Chen Lian said before, and we only thought about the lake. In fact, we thought too much!

I guess that the land to the west of the snowfield contains a lot of mercury, which is integrated with the soil and contaminates the pasture and snow. Naturally, animals will not come to these places to graze.

So, what is going on with the blue lake?

First of all, you need to know that mercury is silver-white, and normal moonlight is also white.

When the moonlight falls on the mercury-filled ground, the ground emits white light. This does not seem surprising. Anyone who has passed by on a night with a sparse moonlight knows that if there are no street lights, the ground will indeed appear white.

But this kind of white is very, very dim. Because of the high mercury content in the soil here, the moon may be relatively bright when it shines on it, but it is definitely not as bright as the light I just took the flashlight to. Ordinary people would not see it at all if they saw it.

Think more.

However, it is different when the blue moon appears. At this time, the moonlight shines down, and the mercury in this place reflects blue light. It is a large area of ​​​​blue, which is contrary to human common sense. When Hu Wa saw this scene,

He was seriously injured and on the verge of death. He seemed to be mentally a little abnormal, so he naturally mistook the large blue light for a blue lake!

As for those twinkling stars that I just used the yellow light to illuminate, I can only say that they are probably a wonder that can only be seen in winter, because the freezing point of mercury is nearly minus 39 degrees, so it is winter here.

By that time, both the mercury in the snow and the mercury in the land had already solidified, which made the ground so hard. Only after the snow melted in my palms did so many small silver particles remain.

At first, I used white light to illuminate the snow. The snow reflects white light strongly, and it was completely white underneath. Of course, I couldn't tell which was the light refracted by the snow and which was the light refracted by the mercury particles.

However, when I used yellow light later, the reflection from the snow was very weak and looked quite dim, while the mercury particles became very bright and looked like twinkling stars.

This is the whole secret of this place. It has nothing to do with the blue moon, natural disasters and other mysterious things. In fact, it was just a coincidence. On the day Hu Wa came, a forest fire happened to break out, and the weird blue moon phenomenon appeared.

That’s all, it has nothing to do with the underground ruins!

After coming to this conclusion, Lao Bai and the others were obviously relieved. Obviously, the mysterious and mysterious information before made them very nervous.

After a while, Brother Yaozi said: "So? Do you suspect that the ruins are under the soil that contains a lot of mercury?"

I nodded and said: "Do you remember the story that cheating mother Liu told us? In the story, in order to save Shi Kuang, the fairy gave Shi Kuang the Heaven-Mending Stone, which violated the rules of the sky, so the gods

They were exiled here. Inside the place of exile, there is a boundless sea of ​​suffering, and there are many resentful souls buried in the sea of ​​suffering. Without the instructions of the gods, it would be impossible to get through."
