At the height of the 4,000-meter ice cliff, it is no different from ordinary mountains. It is covered with white snow and some plants suitable for growing on snowy mountains. Don’t think that the temperature of snowy mountains is low and there is no plant growth. Nature is very magical.

For example, although there are high temperatures of fifty or sixty degrees in the desert and the temperature of sand in summer can even reach seventy degrees, there is still a plant called "Suoyang". According to the Oriental Dragon Kingdom, the "Suoyang" growing in this environment has magical aphrodisiac effects. Naturally, it has become the favorite of men in the Dragon Kingdom.

The same is true on the snow mountain. The environment in which the snow lotus grows is extremely harsh. The plants in which it grows cannot survive at all. However, the snow lotus can grow stubbornly in the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero and in the thin and oxygen-deficient environment. It is also the unique survival habits and unique growth environment of snow lotus that make it natural and rare, and create its unique pharmacological effects and medicinal value.

The yield of snow lotus is extremely low. It takes five years for snow lotus to germinate and bloom. The seeds germinate at zero degrees Celsius and grow at three to five degrees Celsius. The seedlings can withstand the low temperature of minus twenty-one degrees Celsius, but the actual growth period is less than two months. In this short growth period, snow lotus with its vigorous vitality, the plant height can exceed other plants five to seven times.

For example, snow lotus soaked in wine, snow lotus stewed in black chicken, snow lotus stewed in turtle, etc. are some special dishes in the Dragon Kingdom, which have become a delicious dish for a few people, and have magical effects as legendary.

Generally speaking, snow lotus is the best in Tianshan Mountains in the East Dragon Kingdom. That is because the snow lotus in the Tianshan Mountains are easily discovered and picked by humans. In addition, it is suitable for the growth of snow lotus, and people have discovered that the snow lotus there is relatively dense and large yield, so it has created the reputation of "Tianshan Snow Lotus".

But in fact, in the Tibetan region of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, although the yield of snow lotus is small, it has a unique effect.

The general snow lotus growth environment does not exceed minus 20 degrees or more, and does not exceed 4,000 meters of snow mountain snow lines. However, in Tibet, snow lotus can grow in an environment of minus 30 to 40 degrees, and can survive in an environment of 4,000 to 5,000 meters. The height of ordinary snow lotus plants is less than 40 cm, but the snow lotus in Tibetan areas can even reach one meter.

Of course, if Cui Ning hadn't seen it personally, he wouldn't have believed that there was a snow lotus more than 1 meter high on the top of the snow mountain that was more than 4,000 meters high, and not one, but dozens. He and the Snow Wolf King were several meters away from the "Snow Lotus King", and they actually had a faint fragrance that penetrated their hearts and had a unique charm in the ice and snow.

In the past, when high mountain herders encountered snow lotus while walking, they were considered to have signs of good luck and treated them with holy things.

It is said that the lotus in the snow was scattered by the fairies when the Queen Mother of Yaochi went to Tianchi to take a bath. The snow peak opposite is more than 5,000 meters above sea level is a beautiful mirror, which is the place where the fairies dress. The snow lotus is regarded as a magical object. Drinking the dew droplets on the bud leaves, it is believed that it can exorcise evil and eliminate diseases and prolong life.

As for the growth period of snow lotus here, it is probably not only twenty days, but the time should be longer.

Of course, in addition to the Snow Lotus King, there are some rare plants. If they are seen by botanists, they will definitely rewrite the existing plant history or even glacier history.

These plants grow in a relatively flat valley on the top of a snow-capped mountain, and then leeward on three sides, forming a relatively closed environment, about a few hundred square meters. Then there is a natural small hot spring in the middle of the valley, and the plants grow around the hot spring.

"There is a hot spring on the iceberg, which is also a wonder of heaven and earth." Cui Ning stood beside the hot spring and said to himself. At this time, the Snow Wolf King was also standing beside the hot spring and looked at Cui Ning proudly, as if he knew that this was a wonder in itself, and the Snow Wolf King's wisdom was really amazing.

Then, looking at Cui Ning's surprised expression, the Snow Wolf King made another howl on the top of the mountain, somewhat friendly and somewhat majestic as a leader. With the howl, more than a dozen small snow wolfs appeared in the valley, one by one, so cute that they really wanted to hold people in their arms. Then several female snow wolfs were behind, watching the little snow wolf jump around like a mother.

When the Snow Wolf King saw the little snow wolf, he nodded to Cui Ning, then took Cui Ning's neck of his clothes and walked towards the valley, and then in an unknown corner, he took Cui Ning into a natural cave entrance.

The entrance of the cave is in a very leeward corner of the valley. Walking down several meters, like the entrance to the basement, it is a huge cave. The cave is very large and large, beyond Cui Ning's expectations. It seems that the top area of ​​the entire mountain is the space of the cave, about thousands of square meters, and it is ventilation and breathable, and then the temperature is much higher than the snow-capped mountains outside.

What surprised Cui Ning the most was that the entrance to the cave was naturally formed, but there were definitely traces of human beings' digging and even living inside the cave. Although the cave was obviously the home of the snow wolf. However, whether it was the traces of axe, some decoration details, and even ancient rock paintings, it all showed that the cave had traces of human civilization. I just didn't know that it was humans who lived in it and then the snow wolf later discovered and occupied this place, or whether the snow wolf and humans had lived together.

According to the legend of Tibetans, animals like Snow Wolf were originally friends of humans, but as they became so-called rare animals and even commodities, in the past century, Snow Wolf has been away from humans and has become enemies with humans. Poachers regard Snow Wolf as treasures, but Snow Wolf’s living habits are very unique, and the wisdom of Snow Wolf is very high, so the price of Snow Wolf has gradually increased, and the probability of seeing Snow Wolf on the snow mountains is getting smaller and smaller.

As for the Snow Wolf King bringing Cui Ning to his home, although it is a place that is difficult for humans to climb and discover, it also shows the Snow Wolf King's unconditional trust in Cui Ning. It is also a kind of dependence on Cui Ning in his bones.

In the huge cave, the Snow Wolf King took Cui Ning to visit everywhere like a guest, and the rock paintings on the cave wall surprised Cui Ning. They were like ancient totem rock paintings, describing ancient stories:

The first few rock paintings seem to be before humans were born, and they incorporate some legends from Eastern and Western cultures, such as the birth of flames, the birth of mountains and rivers, as well as dinosaurs, giant dragons, large black turtles, snow wolfs, unicorns and other leisurely living in the world;

Then the following rock paintings are after the birth of humans. Humans and animals, including snow wolf, are very friendly, including creatures that have long been extinct in history, life similar to paradise or paradise, and more like fairy tale worlds;

If we go further, humans and animals have war and hunting. The blood of humans and animals has dyed the ancient times red, including the legendary werewolf, sphinx, bears, etc., and they all participated in the battle, and they didn't know how these strange races were born;

Human beings began to build houses, began to have classes, began to invent words, began to stay away from caves, and gradually established human society, which was like long scrolls, especially the "abdication" similar to the "abdication" mentioned by the Oriental Dragon Kingdom, symbolizing authority and leaders, and the stories of the stories like Yao, Shun and Yu in the high platform were vividly depicted by rock paintings, while the dress of the people in the audience began to be different from those of the leaders;

Then there was a war between humans. It was no longer a world of "abdication", but a world of strong people as respect. In the Warring States Period, generals and soldiers raised the king's flag, and then there were stories of new dynasties...

Many stories on the rock paintings can actually rewrite the history of human civilization. Although Cui Ning is not a historian or archaeologist, he has received higher education and also understands world history and the theory of human origin. However, the harmonious coexistence between humans and animals, including those strange races, still gave Cui Ning some strange associations. It was the result of the incompetence between humans and animals. However, Cui Ning did not think too much, but followed the Snow Wolf King to visit the cave.

A little snow wolf, according to humans, is so cute that a little guy who is so cute that he is actually able to walk upright like some trained puppies, holding a cup (really a cup made of stone, but it is very exquisite and has a jade-like texture) super clear. He didn't know what liquid it was, followed the Snow Wolf King and Cui Ning as if he was pleasant, and then stretched out one claw and tried to hand the cup to Cui Ning.

But even when walking upright, the height of Xiaoxuelang standing was less than one meter. Cui Ning felt very cute when he saw Xiaoxuelang's appearance. He quickly took the cup, looked at the eyes of the Snow Wolf King and Xiaoxuelang, looked at the liquid in the cup, smiled slightly, and drank the liquid in it.

The Snow Wolf King, Xiaoxue Wolf and the onlookers all showed happy expressions. The Snow Wolf's expression was really more vivid than a dog, and she was also a cute master. It can be seen that on the murals and legends, it should make sense that the Snow Wolf was once the best friend of mankind.

The liquid Cui Ning drank was not sure whether it was from the hot spring or the melted snow-capped snow mountain. It was not only not cold, but also a slight sweetness that penetrated into the heart. It was definitely a much higher level than the so-called mineral water and mountain spring water on the market.

More importantly, Cui Ning's physique has always been very strange. After a glass of water, Cui Ning felt that the fatigue and sleepiness in the past few days had disappeared a lot. After all, in Shenmu Village and the top of the Snow Mountain for a few days, both physical and energy were overloaded.

"It's delicious and delicious" is Xiaolong's voice.

"Just talk nonsense, can you drink water if you have a spirit body?" Cui Ning was a little confused.

"There is a very high energy in the water and it carries spiritual energy. Can't you feel it?" Xiaolong snorted twice, "Have you never heard of jade liquid nectar?"

"Since you like it, then feel it well. Including what is good for your cultivation, you can also tell me that I will try my best to satisfy you," Cui Ning said.

"Keep your word" Xiaolong is very arrogant.

When the snow wolf saw Cui Ning drinking the liquid and showed enough friendship, the encouraged snow wolf rushed over one by one.
