Chapter Twenty-Six: The Strange Lop Nur
Then I raised the wine glass in my hand, toasted Zhu Yongchang and asked, "What is this mission about Lop Nur?"
Zhu Yongchang took a sip of wine and said: "Originally, there were some strange things happening in Lop Nur, but there was no big deal, they were all small things that did not threaten the normal life of local residents, but in the past half a month, strange things have happened frequently. ”
"Just two days ago, a local herder went to graze cattle near Lop Nur. Nothing was normal during the day, but when it was time to rush back in the evening, the cattle and sheep would not listen to the herdsmen as if they had been succumbed to evil. The bored herdsmen couldn't catch up no matter how much they couldn't catch up, and they kept walking towards Lop Nur, no matter how much the herdsmen chased them, it was to no avail. ”
And the cattle and sheep went farther and farther, faster and faster, and finally disappeared from the sight of the herders. The next day, the herdsmen went to Lop Nur to check on it, but until the evening there was no clue, not even a single bone..."
"Later, our Spiritual Bureau also sent people to check on it, but they didn't find anything, and the people who went to check it disappeared like those cattle and sheep. When we went to look for it the next day, we didn't find anything, as if it had disappeared out of thin air..."
"I'm not afraid of Du Xiaoyou's jokes, the old man also went to check it out, but he didn't find anything... didn't disappear like before, and in the end, he had to give up and go to find Senior Yan for help. ”
Zhu Yongchang said so much in one breath, so I didn't find anything strange, it seems that I can only go and check it out.
I thought for a while, and then asked Zhu Yongchang, "Could it be that there is a time limit or something?" It just so happened that when Zhu Laozu went to check, wasn't it the time when something strange happened?"
Zhu Yongchang put down the wine glass in his hand and shook his head, and then said, "It shouldn't be possible! I went there three times, and although nothing strange happened every time I went, it happened when everyone else went, and they all disappeared out of thin air." Should I say I'm lucky or should I say I'm unlucky? So I don't think it has much to do with the world. ”
I thought about it and gave up, is it really that it has nothing to do with the world?
Zhu Yongchang stood up and toasted us with a glass of wine, and then said, "Don't think about this matter today, Du Xiaoyou is also tired." Why don't you wait until tomorrow to see the scene! Maybe there will be new discoveries! Come and drink first..."
I nodded and said, "Okay, let's wait until tomorrow!"
Then he raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all...
After three rounds of drinking, we also ate almost, especially Zhen Qingchun, staring at the girl next to him with a lewd face, and from time to time saliva would flow out of his mouth, and I don't know if it was not swallowed for a long time or drool...
Then Zhu Yongchang took us to see the room where we were resting, and then invited us to see the scenery outside the plug...
Zhu Yongchang led us towards the outside of the Spiritual Bureau building, and there were endless deserts nearby. There is no kind of busy scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, nor the noisy sound of the city in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is the sound of the cold wind blowing in the ears in the evening, accompanied by a trace of coolness through your whole body.
In an instant, the drunkenness immediately sobered up a lot, and Sun Xiaonian wrapped her thin dress... I don't know if I was wrong or if it was originally like this - the necklace on her chest seemed to emit a beam of light at that moment, enveloping Sun Xiaonian's whole body and then disappearing.
I rubbed my eyes, but it was the same as before, the necklace was still like a normal necklace on the market, without any luster or aura.
We walked aimlessly across the endless desert...
Zhu Yongchang unceremoniously took off his shoes like an old naughty boy, and then walked on the desert step by step, then turned his head to us and said, "Du Xiaoyou, you might as well take off your shoes like me and walk slowly on the desert." Slowly you will forget the troubles in the hustle and bustle of the city, fully integrated into the silky silk, and then the temperature of the sand accumulation during the day will slowly enter the soles of your feet to make your tired body get a relaxation!"
Yuetong threw off the little leather shoes, revealing two tender little feet, stepping on the soft sand, and cheering with joy...
Sun Xiaonian also tried to take off her white sneakers, and led Yuetong's puffy little hand to gallop in the desert...
I also tried to take off my shoes and walk on the soft sand, as Zhu Yongchang said, there is indeed a little bit of temperature transmitted to the soles of your feet, warm but not fragrant, as hot as in the day...
We walked on the sand for about an hour, and Yue Tong and Sun Xiaonian were tired of playing and watching the moon in the sky on the scarce rocks here. There is no superfluous concealment in the sky here, as if it is completely displayed in front of you like two old friends, unlike the night sky in the south of the Yangtze River, which is like two old enemies...
Then we went back to the place arranged for us, and after I finished washing, I fell asleep Zhen Qingchun, Huiyuan, Sun Xiaonian, and Yuetong, and so did them!
Early the next morning, Shen Wansan came to call me to breakfast. We simply drank a little butter tea and some desserts and then touched our stomachs with satisfaction, but Yuetong was eating all over her face, and Sun Xiaonian was helping her wipe her smiling face.
After eating and drinking, we followed Zhu Yongchang and they got into a business car and disappeared into the endless desert...
Maybe it was because the temperature was warmer, and I fell asleep in the car.
Zhu Yongchang gently pushed my shoulder and shouted, "Du Xiaoyou, Lop Nur has arrived, do you want to rest in the car for a while?"
I shook my head with an embarrassed look and said, "No, let's go see the scene first! ”
Then we came to the legendary Lop Nur.
Legend has it that a long time ago, Lop Nur was still a big lake, but later due to the increase in climate and the increase in the number of adjacent inlets, the water consumption increased, which led to the drying up of Lop Nur and became an endless desert...
There is also a legend that Lop Nur is the sea of death leading to hell, and it is not clear whether it is really a legend spread by the local residents.
I asked Zhu Yongchang's driver to drive slowly through Lop Nur, while I stood on the roof of the car and watched the situation nearby...
The driver drove for a long time, and I watched it for a long time, but I didn't find anything strange, and there was no special enchantment seal or anything...
I didn't know what to do for a while.
We parked our car near a rock, and we hid in the shadows behind the rocks while drinking water and cooling off. Although it was only April at this time, the weather here was much hotter than in Gangnam.
I patted Zhu Yongchang on the shoulder in a flash of inspiration and asked, "Do you have any helicopters in the Southwest Spiritual Bureau? It's best to be able to fly very high, and if so, arrange for someone to get a few over." ”
Although Zhu Yongchang didn't know why I asked, he still said without hesitation: "Helicopter, yes, I'll arrange someone to do it immediately!"
Then Zhu Yongchang took out his mobile phone and made a call, and then said: "Du Xiaoyou, wait a few minutes, the helicopter will arrive soon." ”
Then I put my arms around Zhen Qingchun and Huiyuan's shoulders and asked, "Have you found anything special after watching for a long time?"
Huiyuan and Zhen Qingchun shook their heads like two rattles and said, "I didn't find anything except heat." ”
I really want to pull them into the car and beat them up, do I need them to say that?
About half an hour later, three helicopters circled over us, and finally landed slowly a little distance from me.
Because the sand and dust blown by the propellers was so great that we all hid in the car until the helicopter was quiet.
Then we got on the helicopter together, and Zhu Yongchang was on one with us.
I looked at Zhu Yongchang's shoulder and said, "Brother Zhu, you ask the pilot to raise the plane to the highest altitude, first a little farther away from Lop Nur, then over the edge of Lop Nur, and finally over the center of Lop Nur." The approximate location is fine, and it doesn't have to be very precise. ”
Zhu Yongchang nodded and said to the pilot.
When the plane had risen some distance, I noticed that the general shape of this Lop Nur was somewhat similar to the necklace that Sun Xiaonian was carrying.
The plane then continued to ascend and finally hovered at its highest altitude.
I walked to the back and patted Sun Xiaonian on the shoulder and said, "Xiaonian, you take down your necklace and show it to me." ”
Sun Xiaonian looked at me with a confused expression, nodded, obediently took off the necklace, and said in front of me: "Third brother, why do you want my necklace?"
I glanced at the necklace and said, "You compare the necklace with Lop Nur and see what you find?"
Then Sun Xiaonian took my hand in surprise and said, "Wow, third brother, this Lop Nur is very similar to my necklace!"
Later, Zhen Qingchun, Hui Yuan, Yue Tong and Zhu Yongchang also came over to look at the necklace and Lop Nur under us.
Zhu Yongchang said excitedly: "It's really like it! And I have a hunch that this is not a coincidence, there must be some mysterious connection behind this! No wonder when I went to ask Senior Yan for help, Senior Yan said that if you come over for a tour, the matter will almost be solved." ”
Then I said to Zhu Yongchang, "Okay, let's go back first! Let's come and see it in the evening! I guess we won't be able to solve the problem during the day." ”
Zhu Yongchang could only stop there, and then arranged for the pilot to fly back to the Southwest Spiritual Bureau.
In the end, we landed safely on the rooftop of the Jiangnan Psychic Bureau, which is also a small airport with the Jiangnan Psychic Bureau, and I guess it is also for everyone's convenience to go out on a mission, in case of emergency.
After that, we returned to the enchantment on the top floor, and after we had lunch, we shirked Zhu Yongchang's follower on the pretext of taking a lunch break, and took Zhen Qingchun and them back to the room where we rested.
I closed the door and set up an enchantment, and then looked at Zhen Qingchun and Huiyuan, and said, "What do you think about this matter?"
Zhen Qingchun thought for a while and said, "I think this Lop Nur is also the entrance to a small world, why didn't they find out that the entrance to the enchantment may have something to do with the necklace on Sun Xiaonian's body, I think there should be a reason to minimize the number of people involved in this matter, and finally only open them." ”
"Although my memory is only partially restored, I feel that this mission will have secrets about us, and I think it's better not to let outsiders know!"
Huiyuan nodded and said, "I have no opinion, I agree with the opinion of the dead sissy, so be it!"
I nodded and said, "So be it, I don't think it's easy this time, and it's definitely about us." Then let's talk to Zhu Yongchang in the afternoon!"
Then we went back to our respective rooms, originally I was bored in bed with my mobile phone, but I was pulled out by Sun Xiaonian and Yuetong and said that they wanted to take some beautiful photos and send them to the circle of friends...
Then I had to say yes to them... As for Zhen Qingchun and Huiyuan, they don't know where they went.
