Kunlun Mountain, also known as Kunlun Xu, China's No. 1 Sacred Mountain, Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, Kunlun Qiu or Jade Mountain. This mountain range starts from the east of the Pamir Plateau in the west, runs across Xinjiang and Tibet, and extends to Qinghai. It has a total length of about 2,500 kilometers, an average altitude of 5,500-6,000 meters, and a total area of more than 500,000 square kilometers.
Kunlun Mountain has a prominent position as the "ancestor of mountains" in the cultural history of the Chinese nation. The ancients called Kunlun Mountain the "ancestor of dragon veins" in China. Kunlun Mountain has a severe cold climate and continuous ice peaks and snow ridges. It is the mountain with the most glaciers in China.
Numerous glaciers hover in the valley like jade dragons, and there are dazzling arrays of seracs, ice waterfalls, and ice crevasses. The abundant glaciers and snow cover have become the source of many rivers.
There are many legends about this mountain, and Kunlun gave birth to many ancient artifacts. There is a Yaochi in the mountain, and the Queen Mother of the West was born. Every time the immortal family has something to gather together, they will come to the Yaochi of the Queen of the West. There are also Taoist legends that the Yuxu Palace of Yuanshi Tianzun is located here. With so many legends, Kunlun is worthy of being called the first sacred mountain in China.
Wang Bugui ran all the way and finally arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He saw tourists and quickly followed their route up to the Kunlun Pass at an altitude of 4,500 meters. There is a monument here. He heard tourists say that it is the "Patron Saint of Tibetan Antelope" - a monument to the hero Suonandajie. He is overlooking the Kunlun Mountains under the monument.
Standing here, he couldn't help but sigh, this China's first sacred mountain is really magnificent. This vast Kunlun is majestic, covered in silver, with rolling mountains and thousands of clouds in the sky. Climbing to the mountain pass, the towering Kunlun's thousands of peaks and valleys are like a group of galloping horses wearing silver-gray armor, rolling forward with the surging wind and clouds.
After a short stay, he walked towards the west side of Kunlun Pass, looking for Yuxu Peak. The terrain here is not easy to walk on, and it took almost half an hour to reach Yuxu Peak. But when I got here, I realized that everything was completely white. How could I find anyone
"Hoo, ho!" The air here is a bit thin, and even Wang Bugui's body feels a little tired after running here. He looked around and found that there was no sign of any animals, let alone humans. In desperation, he decided to circle around Yuxu Peak to search, and Wang Bugui stopped after about half an hour.
He found that there was really no Yuxu Palace on Yuxu Peak, and people were concentrated at tourist attractions. But he thought that senior Yun Jinghong might be hanging out with these people? Since he is the person his father said he was, he must be an outstanding person. But there was no one here except the scenic spots, so he had no choice but to go over and ask the tourists. After all, the tourists were familiar with the terrain and could give directions.
"Hello, friend, I would like to ask where is the Yuxu Palace here?" Wang Bugui asked an uncle who was taking pictures.
"Hahaha, someone is really looking for Yuxu Palace."
"Kid, you watch too much TV."
"There are no gods in this world, they are all lying to you."
"If you can find Yuxu Palace, it's still called Tianzun's dojo."
Unexpectedly, before the uncle could say anything, the people around him burst into laughter. They thought this boy must have watched too many TV series and came here to find the gods. Wang Bugui didn't understand why they laughed at him and scratched his head to see them talking about him.
"Young man, Yuxu Palace is just a legend, don't take it too seriously. And even if it really exists, it's not something mortals like us can see. Otherwise, why is there no tourist attraction like Yuxu Palace here." The uncle explained to Wang Bugui.
"No? Is there a Taoist named Yun Jinghong here?" Wang Bugui then asked the uncle.
"Yun Jinghong? Never heard of it. You can go to Yuxu Taoist Temple and ask. It's at the foot of the mountain here, not far from the foot of the mountain." The uncle pointed to the foot of the mountain in the distance.
"Yuxu Taoist Temple may be related to Yuxu Palace. Thank you uncle." Wang Bugui said his thanks and disappeared in a flash.
"This kid is running too fast."
"I guess even a car can't run at this speed."
"He said he was looking for Yuxu Palace. Is it possible that there are actually people who are cultivators of immortality?"
Wang Bugui was so excited that he forgot that he couldn't show his abilities in front of ordinary people, which caused a lot of discussion from all the tourists behind him. He ran all the way down and finally came to the Kunlun Taoist Temple that his uncle mentioned. It was not as grand as he imagined, it was just an old Taoist temple that looked very ordinary. Not many people come here to visit and worship, even Taoist priests.
After asking around, I found out that this Taoist temple had been destroyed before, and now it has been rebuilt beyond recognition. After Wang Bugui went in, he asked around, but no one knew about Yun Jinghong. Then he met someone who said he could go to Yaochi to look for it, so he set off to Yaochi again.
Because Wang Bugui was too anxious, he showed his extraordinary speed without any concealment, which made all the tourists stunned. So on this day, everyone who traveled to Kunlun Mountain heard a legend. There was a real young man who appeared here. He rushed to Yuxu Peak, Kunlun Taoist Temple, and Xiwangmu Yaochi to seek enlightenment in one day.
"Huh, huh, I'm exhausted. If I can't find Senior Yun here, I'll be finished." Wang Bugui put his hands on his knees and gasped for air. He ran too far that day and didn't even eat in the middle of the journey. First, we went all the way to Kunlun Mountain, then rushed to Yuxu Peak, then went down to Kunlun Taoist Temple, and finally came to the Xiwangmu Yaochi.
This place is called the Black Sea by modern people. It is the source of the Kunlun River. It is also the most mysterious and highest-altitude Yaochi of the Queen Mother of the West in the legend. It is said that it may be her first Yaochi. Because according to the "Book of Mountains and Seas": "Although the Queen Mother of the West uses Kunlun as her palace, she also has her own cave away from the palace, where she travels and rests, and does not live exclusively in a mountain."
There are four major Yaochi in the Queen Mother of the West, and the Black Sea Yaochi is the place where the Queen Mother of the West holds a peach feast to entertain all kinds of gods. Mengda Tianchi is where the Queen Mother of the West washes her hair, Tianshan Tianchi is where she bathes her feet, and Qinghai Lake Yaochi is where the Queen Mother of the West bathes.
The four major Yaochi have left beautiful legends to the world. Among them, the Qinghai Lake Yaochi has myths and legends in which the Queen Mother of the West rested for a while on the Yixian Stone on the top of the Aolai Huaguo Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou during her eastward tour. This stone was originally a fragment of Nuwa's sky-repairing stone. In addition, when the Queen Mother of the West sat here, she became enlightened and became a spirit. Over time, a stone egg was born, and the stone egg turned into a stone monkey, which later became the Monkey King.
When he was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he secretly ate the Queen Mother's fairy peach because he didn't know that he was the son of the Queen Mother of the West. Later, Monk Xitian, who protected the Tang Dynasty, obtained Buddhist scriptures and achieved enlightenment. He learned that he was the son of the Queen Mother of the West, so he came here to fulfill his filial piety and protect his mother's Yaochi Palace.
There are so many legends about Yaochi, so the four major Yaochi are regarded as sacred places by Taoist believers. Wang Bugui came here under the guidance of a Taoist priest because this is one of the four major Yaochi. Nowadays, monuments are erected with the local place names as Yaochi, and this is the only place that is called the "West Queen Mother Yaochi" by a monument. It is full of spiritual energy. , the auspicious energy is steaming. Many tourists can relax here, and Taoist monks can understand Taoism here.
