Meng Hua Dynasty

Chapter 42: Dream chaser (3)

Views:

The black eagle disappears, the crescent moon and the daybreak alternate, the indifferent gleam breaks through the dark curtain and shines on the world. The early morning is quiet and peaceful, but it cannot conceal the desolation of the desert after the vicissitudes of life. The floating sound of the quicksand is like a heavy sigh from the desert, with The old and solemn breath, listening carefully, is more like an old man telling the truth of life that is unknown, and the person who really understands the truth is also a destined person in Lop Nur-the waiting lonely age, watching the world's reincarnation Vicissitudes. Trekking in the realm of nothingness, I fell with you...

Aunt Xiao was the first to get up. She took the camera and walked out of the tent, leaving the momentary dawn scene in the camera forever.

As an archaeologist, it is her life's pursuit to record the unforgettable scenes of every moment, and uncovering the truth of history is the ultimate goal of her decades of archaeological work.

After eating breakfast in the empty desert, everyone put away their tents and moved on.

At this time, the sun has hung in the sky, and it hits fiercely. It seems that such a high temperature rise will be a greater test for them.

When the car was traveling for half an hour, Dean Wu suddenly exclaimed, "Look."

I saw a piece of green plants growing on the right side of the car. In such a desolate desert, they are like oasis, a permanent symbol of the light of life.

In order to find out, the dean got out of the car to inquire, and then said, "This is a camel thorn, a rare green plant in the desert. Last time we visited Lop Nur, we didn’t see it. It’s really too much today. Fortunately, this little thing can survive under such harsh conditions. How strong should it be? This is really the most beautiful gift that God has given to nature."

Dean Wu’s excitement can't be expressed in words. For Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi who saw desert plants for the first time, they also looked excited and kept taking pictures with their mobile phones.

After a day of running around, seeing a little green is a pleasant surprise for everyone. What's more gratifying is that Aunt Xiao also found the footprints of wild camels beside the camel thorns. The sunken camel footprints inspire everyone's hearts. . Aunt Xiao speculated that the camels were also heading north, so they immediately got in the car and galloped toward the boundless north.

A famous writer once wrote in his novel, “Camels are the most loyal guardians of the desert. The significance of their existence is that they must wait for the desert forever before the end of their lives. They are The most loyal fighter."

In order to get a glimpse of the demeanor of the loyal fighters, everyone was tossed and the car drove north for hundreds of miles without seeing them. When everyone decided to give up and march in the direction of Yadan, Xiao Xie suddenly saw two tall camels walking aimlessly in the desert.

Aunt Xiao knew at a glance that they were the first-class camels in the desert, and their humps were like rolling mountains, drawing a deep outline, shining golden light in the sun. Today, that kind of camel is on the verge of extinction, because it is a pure thorn-humped camel, which is originally a rare animal in the world. In addition, in recent years, the ecological environment has continued to deteriorate, and they have come to the brink of extinction.

The World Animal Protection Association also issued a treaty at the beginning of the year, calling on people to protect the environment and create a viable nature for cute animals, so that they can multiply from generation to generation, and they can always be seen in the deserted desert. Distant figure.

In order to take more accurate photos, the team has been quietly following the camels. Unexpectedly, the camels seemed to hear the faint sound of the off-road vehicle, and they disappeared into the sight of everyone after they climbed over a sand dune.

In desperation, Wizard Zhao had to turn the car around, ready to move on in the direction of Longcheng Yadan.

But even they didn't know that they had already entered the place where the Sun Tomb was located. There are dozens of tombs in the entire tomb, and none of them are the tombs of the dead surrounded by a round wooden stake in the middle. The outside is surrounded by seven circles with wooden stakes more than one foot high, forming a number of rays, showing the rays of the sun. It’s called the "Sun Tomb". It has existed for more than 3,800 years, but no archaeologist has confirmed which tribe is buried in the cemetery. There are also many unsolved mysteries. The problem that archaeologists want to overcome.

When the car turned around, Dean Wu suddenly realized, “Look, everyone, this is the sun tomb in and outside the civilization. I paid too much attention to the camel and ignored its existence. This tomb is the most primitive desert tomb. It is surrounded by round wooden piles, and ingeniously formed a solar radiation. There is no doubt that the sun tomb is unprecedented, and there will be no one afterwards."

Just as the dean was excited to introduce the general situation of the Sun Tomb to everyone, the off-road vehicle suddenly made a small, crisp sound, as if it had collided with a wooden stake.

It turned out that when the guide turned his head, the plate was hit so big that he touched the wooden stake outside the tomb.

A terrible undercurrent was sweeping toward them. After the stake collided with the car, a dull sound was emitted from the inside of it, echoing everywhere, hovering in the empty desert.

The reason why the clansmen who made the sun tomb fixed countless wooden stakes outside the tomb of the deceased to form a circle. First, the wooden piles that are radiating from the sun are like a layer of unbreakable protection. Each wooden pile is hollowed out. Its appearance looks like wood, but the inside is actually wrapped by a special Western metal. The inside of the wooden stake hides a mysterious switch developed by a race. Once someone touches this mechanism, the door of the dusty tomb will open.

Previously, the wooden stake was hit by an off-road vehicle, and the secret mechanism attached to it would make a dull sound only when it was touched.

The sun was in the sky, the sand wind was blowing, and the distant sandstorm was surging away, layers of yellow sand tossed up, floating in the dead sky, spinning rapidly in the strong whirlwind, shocking the world. Only the Great Desert Flying Eagle was not afraid of the roar of the Great Desert, and leapt up as always, leaving a figure that pierced the sky in the air. Those shadows resembled a sharp sword, slashing open the sky abruptly.

Dozens of ancient tombs began to roar, and those dead bodies jumped out of the tombs, stretched out their scorched claws, and strode toward where their off-road vehicles were. The sunken pupils on the white skulls immediately gave out a ray of green light, penetrating the sky and the earth, and the red mouth began to open unscrupulously, and bursts of purplish angry roars from their extremely thin throats, in their already scorched black skeletons. There was also a layer of white smoke, which was extremely strange.

Aunt Xiao suddenly exclaimed, "Hurry up, the smoke emitted from the dead bodies is "dark corpse poison" and will poison people to death.

"The weird legend of the Sun Tomb turned out to be true. My grandfather once told me about the Sun Tomb. He said that an old man once told him that once the Sun Tomb is turned on and the sun shoots into the tomb, those dead bodies will be resurrected. They When burying them, the people of the tribe wrapped their bodies with unknown medicinal materials. These medicinal materials can protect their bodies in the tomb after they are entangled. Therefore, after thousands of years, their bodies have not completely decayed. But those. Herbs will corrode and emit poisonous gas when they see the sun. Those poisonous gas is enough to suffocate people. It turns out that we all thought that it was the teacher who said it indiscriminately because of superstition, and there is no scientific basis. So in the archaeological world, the sun It seems to everyone that the tomb resurrected the dead is nonsense. Now it seems that there is indeed something."

Facing the resurrection of the dead body, everyone was terrified. Dad Xiao tried his best to adjust his disordered aura. Dean Wu and Xiao Xie even stepped up the accelerator, and their car began to gallop outside the Tomb of the Sun.

What is amazing is that the resurrected dead corpses are like beasts that have been imprisoned for thousands of years. After being released, they finally vent their anger. Their big, scorched barefoot girls stepped on the sand, suddenly rose into the air, and then landed on the roofs of two cars. The bones of Bai Sensen's fingers were full of strength, and they were buckled tightly. The rearview mirror of the car, trying to destroy the car.

Due to the huge impact, the glass of the car window has begun to shatter, making a crackling sound. Seeing that the situation has reached a critical point, some of the items on the truck were also lifted by the dead bodies from the sky and thrown into the distance.

No matter how fast the car is driven, the resurrected dead corpses can always catch up. They are like a group of evil spirits eager to be diluted to blood, extremely evil.

Countless resurrected dead corpses flocked to the cart. They climbed around the car from all directions, making it impossible to move.

Everyone had to let the two lesbians hide under the seats first to prevent death from being attacked by poisoned claws, while the male comrades used electric shock batons under the seats to block those who penetrated the car windows and wanted to kill their lives. Magic claws.

When the two sides are fighting, it is evenly matched. If such a physical battle is consumed, I am afraid that everyone will be tortured to collapse by those crazy demons.

At that critical moment, Dad Xiao suddenly uttered the word "ice water".

Everyone was puzzled, "Ice water? What do you mean?"

Dad Xiao used an electric shock stick to block the dead body's attack, and said calmly, "Pour the cold water from our car on their hands, and they will return to the tomb as soon as they touch the ice water."

"That's all right?" Xiao Guo asked.

"Try it, a dead horse is a living doctor. The side of despair is hope, comrades, act quickly."

When it was too late, everyone took out the ice water from the electronic refrigerator, twisted the bottle cap, and poured the water into the claws of teeth and claws.

The miracle really happened because of the existence of a caring person. After the corpse’s claws came into contact with the cold water, they hurriedly fled at a thundering speed, retracted, and immediately, the vast team of corpses fell back into the tomb, the wooden stakes. When they returned to the tomb, they turned forty-five degrees clockwise, and the door of the tomb was safely closed. Everything returned to calm again, and the sky gradually showed its inherent bright color, with clouds all over the sky, the rays of the sun scattered, and the whole desert.

After a bitter battle, everyone was exhausted, and their tight nerves finally relaxed. The feeling of escaping from the dead really made them unforgettable. I think they have struggled for most of their lives and have never experienced such a fierce scene. The journey is considered to be the most vivid lesson for them who have tasted all the flavors of life.

Uncle Yi took a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Old Xiao, how did you come up with this good method? You are not in archaeology."

Dad Xiao tidyed up his clothes and smiled faintly, "Although I am not a person in the archaeology industry, I am considered a true archaeology enthusiast. This is all influenced by my wife. Before her son, she was full of archaeology in order to catch With her heart, I had no choice but to get a deep understanding of archaeology, haha, this is really making everyone laugh.

"Actually, my thoughts for a moment were derived from the divine words in ancient Maya books. The Maya once said that yin and yang are two opposite sides, and the harmony of yin and yang can produce the power of reversal. To put it simply, the Maya once said The resurrection of dead corpses was predicted because the tomb belongs to the Yin world. Once the Yin world has absorbed enough yang energy, the yin energy will fade away, and the heart and mind of the dead corpse will be resurrected. This is exactly the harmony of Yin and Yang. effect.

"When the dead corpses of the Sun Tomb were resurrected, I remembered that divine saying. I reversed the Maya's conclusion. Since the dead corpses were resurrected because they were exposed to sunlight, what the sunlight can give them is heat. Then, I use ice water to fight the heat, which is equivalent to the yin and yang reconciliation again. In this way, the heat they received will disappear, and naturally there will be no energy to stay in the yang realm, and have to return to the tomb."

After hearing that, everyone clapped their hands and applauded, "Old Xiao, you are simply too smart. You can be wise and courageous. If we don't have you today, we will really die here. When we go back, we must be well. Drink him not drunk or return, to celebrate our aftermath."

"Haha, I call it painful thinking, looking for ideas in despair. Let's rest and go quickly. Most of the ice water has been used. The desert climate is so hot, we should go to the ancient city as soon as possible. Besides, this car window is damaged. , The trek after that is the real challenge for us." Dad Xiao said.

"Okay, let's go."

"By the way, Lao Wu, before we reach Yadan, we will pass through the ruins of Loulan Kingdom. My son also wanted to take the crew there to film a costume drama, but the schedule has not been set. This is just right. I'm here to help him find the way."

"Well, the old man also told me earlier that the map showed that the only way for us to reach Yadan is the Loulan site. There seems to be a word engraved on the drawing, but the font is unknown to us. I have passed many times. I have inquired through various channels, but to no avail. So before I arrived in Loulan, I had no trouble guessing about the mystery." Dean Wu added.

Before dark, the cart continued to gallop in the middle of the desert, and the blurred light and shadow flickered.

In the faint light, it seems that everyone has returned to the once prosperous dynasty-Loulan, the name of the ancient country of the Western Regions, located on the northwest bank of Lop Nur and tied with Dunhuang.

At that time, it was a fortress on the ancient Silk Road. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first passed through the Western Regions, and envoys must pass through this place. The people of the Loulan tribe should belong to the Indo-European people. Between the two major forces, the Han and the Huns, they cleverly maintained their political life, and they were the more prosperous tribes in the Western Regions.

After the 4th century AD, Loulan disappeared.

That's because after the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the diversion of the Binhe River in Tarim, Loulan was severely short of water, the weather was abnormal, the plague was prevalent, and death was caused. The kingdom of Loulan was suddenly submerged in the vast desert.

From ancient times to the present, there have been many conclusions about the reasons for the disappearance of the Loulan Kingdom, but most people have recognized that the plague caused by the harsh environment led to the death of the tribe.

Today, the location of Loulan Kingdom is deserted.

However, at the insistence of the guide, the convoy began to march deep into Loulan, because the big characters in the unknown font on the map appeared in the ancient city of Loulan. They must find the ancient city to truly unlock the mystery of the map. .

Everyone thought it was enough to find the ancient city of Kumuli. It was Yige's parents who discovered the weird big character when they browsed the map accidentally, and they drew a cross on the way to the big character.

Aunt Xiao explained that it means that they need to find items corresponding to the words. Otherwise, even if they reach the ancient city of Kumuli, they will not be able to complete the task. The black fork is a unique mark in the archaeological map, which cannot be deciphered by outsiders. Decoding.

The ancient city of Loulan was discovered by a Swedish explorer. It was a city with beacon towers, corridors, attics and city walls. But since the ancient country of Loulan disappeared, it has disappeared. Countless people want to see its true appearance. , But all came back to no avail.

At this moment, the sky above Lop Nur showed a strange darkness, as if it were a harbinger of squally rain. As there were more and more steep slopes on the sand dunes, everyone had to get out of the car, one person holding a bag of compressed biscuits and a bottle of mineral water, began to walk in the desert on foot.

Uncle Xiao led the team. He was humming a little tune along the way. He was so leisurely. His past life must be a fierce general, who will not be afraid of danger, otherwise Xiao Mu will not inherit his good qualities. Sure enough, there is a father. son.

When they entered the ancient fortress of Loulan, the original magnetic field quietly changed, the mobile phone immediately lost all signals, Aunt Xiao's Swiss positioning watch also stopped rotating, and even the compass and positioning tracking system also lost their effectiveness.

Their bodies were lifted up by an invisible force, and then vacated and suspended in the dark mid-air.

It seemed that it was a completely enclosed space, and they couldn't hear each other's words. After gravity supported them to fly for hundreds of miles, they sent them back to the flat ground.

At this time, what appeared in front of them was another mirage that was less real than dreams. Behind the high walls, it was an ancient city, with corridors, streets, and terraces crisscrossing, and the beacon still left behind the ancient weapons held by the warriors. , Above the city gate are engraved with four big characters of "Loulan Ancient City" printed in Loulan script.

The real body of the ancient city of Loulan is finally shocked here, and the blue tile palace is even more imaginative, as if you are in the distant Loulan era.

It is not gorgeous, and there is no luxurious watch, but it has the only simple charm in the world, and it is another gem of the world's ancient city. The pristine, it did not disappear as the world said, it just hides itself, like a hermit who retreats to the mountains, for generations to stay away from the hustle and bustle of glitz, no longer lost in the bustling realm of nothingness.

When they walked into the ancient city, the gate was heavily closed and a muffled noise was heard. The sky was completely dark, and the dean calculated the time. At this time, it was no more than four o'clock in the afternoon. For some reason, the day turned into night, which made everyone puzzled.

Xiao Xie had to use a lighter to light a few matches so that everyone was able to see the surrounding objects clearly with the faint light. The sand wind blew violently, and even the last match was blown out by the sand wind.

A few people had to hold hands, groping forward carefully in search of a ray of life, the mirage-like beauty seemed to fall suddenly, no sign of it, leaving only a heavy darkness.

The two lesbians are obviously already a little physically exhausted and panting violently, because even if the sand wind is rustling, the darkness is still extremely sultry, like a steamer with hypoxia, making it difficult for people to experience the extreme. In desperation, they had no choice but to sit on the ground, but after a few minutes, everyone fainted due to the sultry heat, and even the two strong boys could not escape the disaster. Before, they let everyone drink and understand the summer medicine, but in such a strange realm, the anti-heat medicine will naturally not have any effect.
