The Kunlun Mountains start from the Pamir Plateau in the west.
The total length of the mountain range is almost 2,500 kilometers.
The average altitude ranges from 5,500 meters to 6,000 meters.
The width is also 200 kilometers.
It is narrow in the west and wide in the east.
The total area is 5,000 meters.
Covering more than 100,000 square kilometers, it spans the four provinces of Qinghai, Sichuan, Xinjiang and Tibet in China.
The name of the ancestor of mountains is true.
To a large extent, Kunlun Mountain is China's "national mountain".
It is recorded in the Great Wilderness West Classic of Shan Hai Jing: "South of the Western Sea, on the shore of the quicksand, behind the Red River and before the Black River, there is a large mountain called Kunlun Hill.
There is a god with a human face and a tiger body, with writings and tails, all white.
There is a deep abyss of water below it, and there is a mountain of fire outside.
There are people wearing hats, tiger teeth, and leopard tails.
This mountain is called the Queen Mother of the West."
The two gods mentioned here are Lu Wu and the Queen Mother of the West.
Since ancient times, Kunlun has been a mysterious place.
Most of the myths, legends and historical facts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas almost all come from this mysterious place.
However, what is not well known is that Kunlun and Taoism are actually closely related.
In the history of Taoism in China, Kunlun Mountain is known as the "ancestor of all mountains" and the "hometown of immortals".
Although this title is slightly exaggerated, Kunlun is indeed inferior to Penglai and other holy places, but its historical status is not comparable to places like Penglai.
It is recorded in ancient books that in the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in the era before Chen Jingzang, there were two famous Taoist priests at that time, one was Xuanyang Zhenren, and the other was called Taoist Master Jindan.
It is unknown whether these two were charlatans or magicians, or whether they really had real materials.
In the 26th year of Guangxu's reign, the two went to the Kunlun Mountains alone to search for the "Hometown of Immortals" in the legendary ancient books.
In today's Qinghai When I visited the area near Kongjiazui, I found that it was surrounded by mountains and the terrain was shaped like a lotus, which was mysterious and unusual.
After counting with his fingers, he knew that the feng shui of this place was excellent.
It was like a lotus sprouting from the ground and three talents swallowing the sun.
But for some reason, the surroundings were too dead.
However, the two Taoist masters were brave and felt that the lotus flower was there.
It would be a wonderful place to build a Taoist temple above Huaxing, so ground was started and it took sixteen years to build the famous "Kunlun Xu Temple" at that time.
It was not until thirty years after the Taoist temple was established that it was able to build a "Kunlun Immortal" community with one entrance to the five courtyards, the front and rear Bagua Guitian, and the seat facing north and south.
Liu Xuance once heard from his seniors in the family that there is an external archway built in front and behind the Taoist temple, with the three characters "Kunlunxu" written in gold on it.
The gate building has two floors and three rooms, and a vertical plaque in gold on Lan Tang hangs in the middle.
In front of the mountain gate tower, the east and west sides are erected with a bucket-shaped top and a fence pole about three feet and three feet high.
In the second courtyard, there is the "Guanyin Hall" with front and rear water splashing, front and rear eaves, and front and rear doors.
There are three bungalows with civil structures on the east and west sides.
In the third courtyard, there is the "Tai Chi Hall" in the north.
There are two buildings on the east and west sides.
Shenke Hall, Waiting Hall There are one Bell and Drum Tower each with one upper and three lower rooms.
There is the "Sanqing Hall" in the north of the fourth courtyard, and the single-belly waist-style "Eight Immortals Temple" and "Qizhen Ancestor Hall" are built on both sides.
There are three rooms, and the "Yuhuang Pavilion" is located to the north of the fifth courtyard.
Except for the bungalows, which are made of earth and wood structures, all the palaces are made of brick and wood structures, with carved beams and painted buildings.
They are very majestic.
Chen Jingzang once said: "The most beautiful building in the world."
However, during the ten years of turmoil, this "first view in the world" was not spared.
Although the country later sent people to rebuild it, it is said that it is difficult to paint the meaning.

The Feng Shui formation set up by the two Taoist priests had long been destroyed.
Even if it was rebuilt now, it would be nothing more than a "trash" with no form but no spirit. .
When they first built the Taoist temple, the two Taoists noticed that the surrounding dead energy was strong.
If it weren't for the Feng Shui array that sprouted lotus flowers here, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any living things in the entire Taoist temple.
However, after many years, the Taoist priests traveled west on a crane. , the Taoist temple was also destroyed.
Even if it was rebuilt, strange things still happened in Kunlun Mountain.
Within three years, the Taoist temple collapsed, and hundreds of people committed suicide within a few miles.
And every year, as long as people who went deep into the hinterland of the Kunlun Mountains bypassed the gate of hell and were lucky enough to come here, they would commit suicide for no apparent reason.
Deaths, accumulated over many years, have formed the death ditch before us.
"Brother Liu, how come this corpse's accumulated height is useless?
You can't just step on the corpse."
I couldn't help but swallowed as I looked at the death ditch in front of me.
Liu Xuance took a puff of cigarette and said: "We can only step on the corpses.
This trench of the dead stretches for hundreds of miles.
Although there are not many or even no corpses up and down, the depth and width are not comparable here.
If you want to take a detour, at least If we delay the formation for one day, the matter has reached this point and we can only move on from here.”
"Master Emperor, is this place really as mysterious as you say?
Everyone who comes here has committed suicide."
Cao Polu blinked, looking like a curious baby.
Liu Xuance said enigmatically: "Monsters, monsters, snakes, insects, rats, ants.
It seems to be a very dangerous place for ordinary people, but for the evildoers who are more advanced, it is useless."
Nalan Mingzhu asked: "This place is so weird, why did the two Taoist priests choose to build a Taoist temple here?"
Liu Xuance curled his lips and said: "Buddhism pays attention to sacrifice.
If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?
They always teach people how to get rebirth on the other side.
Taoism is much more practical.
What it teaches is immortality.
Longevity is what it means.
Life and death are endless, Kunlun Mountain is a big dragon vein, I don’t know how many princes and generals want to occupy a piece of land here, and it can produce the Feng Shui formation where the lotus flowers and three talents swallow the sun.
How can I be angry?
" "The two of them took risks to build a temple here, and the effort they put into it is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It is obvious that people like Chen Jingzang can say that the temple is the best in the world.
Isn't immortality just a matter of talk?
A person who has attained enlightenment like the great mighty Tianlong monk in Tibet can only survive for two years."
"Did you see the light on the other side?"
Liu Xuance pointed to the opposite side of Dead Man's ditch.
I squinted my eyes and nodded.
Liu Xuance said with a smile: "That's Tianhu, which is called Lajiduomi by the locals.
The ruins of the Western Queen's Mother Kingdom are below.
We're going there now.
We can see it within a thousand steps.
How about it, we can't pass it."
"Yes, of course I will, it's right in front of me, but no matter what, which one of you comes first?"
Cao Polu said, slapping his thigh.
Helian Shenji and I looked at each other with disdain without hesitation.

After bragging for a long time, it turned out that we were not the ones leading the charge.
I asked Liu Xuance: "Brother Liu, to be honest, have you ever seen someone who can jump over this three- to four-meter-wide giant in one jump?"
Liu Xuance nodded: "I've seen it."
Everyone immediately looked at you as you continued to speak.
After all, this is not a novel or a TV series.
A fierce man who can jump three to four meters must have a lot of knowledge.
Liu Xuance took a puff of cigarette: "There was an old man from the older generation.
He was wearing linen clothes.
He had a lame leg and a broken arm.
He only used a left-handed knife all his life.
That was when I was ten years old.
In the mountains, the old man mentioned Holding a big red lantern, you can cross a river wider than this with just one jump."
This is the real monster, the real enigma.
"Just for the story of the Imperial Master, I have to take the lead to explore the way."
Cao Polu chuckled, stood up, twisted his neck, put the knife into the scabbard on his waist, and took a deep breath tone, I saw him take a few steps back , a running start, the whole person was like a leopard, and with a puff, he stepped on the belly of a corpse in the Dead Man's Ditch.
The whole corpse suddenly sunk in, and the rotten bloody feeling gave me another burst of blood.
Retching.
Then Cao Polu jumped again, three times in a row, and when he looked again, he was already standing on the other side.
I have to say that although Cao Polu seems to be an unreliable master, his skills are really real and he does not embarrass Cao Qingcang at all.
Immediately afterwards, everyone jumped over one after another.
Although this death trench is a place of death that is untouchable by others, the door to hell is too different.
It is like the demons, monsters, snakes, rats, rats and ants that Liu Xuance said.
Coffin touchers like us who are not afraid of death are invincible when we encounter a place like this.
"Hey, Brother Lin, it's your turn," Cao Polu shouted from the other side.
I pursed my lips and took a deep breath, thinking that the price could not be reduced at this time.
I hunched over and was about to jump, but suddenly I felt my body lightened.
I was stunned, blinked my eyes, and raised my head suddenly. , I saw Ji Chengxue holding me between her legs, and she jumped out.
Unlike before, since Ji Chengxue turned into a physical entity, she has been wearing a pair of white-soled and red-faced cloth shoes, just like the ones worn by the bride, with no patterns on the uppers.
This jump was really amazing.
My toes were on the corpse.
I jumped again and within a few breaths, I reached the shore.
The whole person was still in a daze.
When I looked at Ji Chengxue's appearance again, she was as calm and motionless as a lake, and the soles of her shoes were still as white as snow.
I couldn't help but smack my lips, thinking that she was really a monster.
Cao Polu shook his head: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, I never expected it.
I originally wanted to see your joke, but I didn't expect my younger siblings to be so fierce and fly over with you in their arms."
I scratched my head and smiled innocently.
Liu Xuance glanced at me but said nothing.
He looked up at the "Sky Lake" in the distance and squinted his eyes.
Our group didn't stay too long.
We were very close to our destination at this time.
We kept walking forward, and within a few hundred steps, we had a clear view of the Tianhu Lake.
Just like Yinchuan hanging on the mountain, the huge waterfall flies down and hits the river, surrounded by green mountains and green water.
The entire ground below the mountain is in ruins.
I glanced at it and murmured to myself.
