Chapter 233: Goodbye to That Figure
In the second half of the night, the big-hearted Emperor Zhou was slightly drunk, and the snoring gradually started.
Wang Changsheng continued to keep vigil by the bonfire, it may be that the thrilling scene of falling into the quicksand layer during the day is still vivid, tonight's Su Tong didn't sleep well, and he woke up from sleep and woke up to complete insomnia in the second half of the night.
"There's something, I want to ask you" Su Tong got out of the tent and sat opposite Wang Changsheng and asked.
"Huh?"
"Are you absolutely sure you can escape from the quicksand?"
Wang Changsheng said very simply: "Seventy percent sure, otherwise I wouldn't be stupid to send to death!"
Su Tong was stunned, pursed his lips and said: "You man is really incomprehensible, if you want to say that you don't know, it's completely a subconscious hero to save the beauty, I must be grateful to you, in my heart, I may still have a love for you or something, what you said is too straightforward." ”
Wang Changsheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Friend, I didn't think that you loved me at all, so there is no need to be grateful, I am purely for the sake of my teammates to rescue you, nothing else." ”
"Mother...... Su Tong scolded indignantly, deeply feeling that his beauty had been humiliated by Wang Changsheng: "People like you deserve to be a single dog for the rest of your life." ”
Wang Changsheng said seriously: "I have always stayed away from beautiful women, especially you are so demonic. ”
"Giggles!" Su Tong covered his mouth and smiled, leaning back and saying, "I can see that you don't have a crush on me, but you don't dare." ”
Wang Changsheng said lightly: "Xiaosheng is timid, his life is as thin as paper, and he has always lived carefully......"
Wang Changsheng has said to Emperor Zhou more than once, you have to keep a respectful and distant woman like Su Tong, you can get to know it, but you can get to know Fang Ze or something, this kind of eight-character super hard woman, if you get it, it is to find bad luck for yourself, there is a saying that one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but there is also a saying that there are skeletons under the red powder.
Two sentences, one meaning.
Safety first!
When Wang Changsheng and Su Tong were chatting awkwardly, and the atmosphere was a little delicate, suddenly in the northwest where they were camping, a terrible wolf howl suddenly sounded.
The faces of the two changed at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Su Tong and Wang Changsheng jumped up from the ground, he pointed to the higher ground not far away, and the two immediately ran over.
A round of remnant clouds hung high in the sky, through the horizon of the Gobi Desert, about dozens of meters away dozens of desert wolves were running fast, wolf howls one after another, the sound was terrible, as if there were invincible natural enemies behind the wolves, so that they could only run around for their lives.
Both of them furrowed their brows deeply, three days ago in the night, there had been the same scene, and a tossing figure suddenly appeared in their minds.
Su Tong said very worriedly: "The other party is nearby, and the direction is also approaching the ancient city of Loulan?"
Wang Changsheng didn't speak, but he also looked at the back of the wolves with the same concern, and it didn't take long for the figure that had jumped three feet high and jumped almost seven or eight meters away to reappear, chasing the wolves, and then rushing into it.
There was another terrible howl from the wolves.
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided...... Wang Changsheng twisted his brows, threw down a sentence, and turned around and left.
Su Tong was stunned, and said a little puzzled: "Are you too calm?"
Wang Changsheng said without looking back: "Then what can be done, who knew that this kind of ghost thing would appear in this place? Since we have all come to the depths of the Gobi Desert, then we can just go with the situation, or we will go home early tomorrow morning? If you don't leave, then you can pray, the other party is just passing by, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
Nothing was said all night, early the next morning.
The three of them packed up again, and they set off relatively early today, because according to the normal journey, they should be able to reach the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan today.
The ancient city of Loulan moved west in Lop Nur, the most important hub in the Silk Road, the strongest one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, from the vicinity of Guyangguan in the east, to the ancient city of Niya in the west, to the Altun Mountain in the south, and to Hami in the north.
Looking at the twenty-two ancient kingdoms that have disappeared in this land, Loulan is undoubtedly the most mysterious and insoluble one, because Loulan disappeared out of thin air overnight, and there are no clues and details to show how Loulan disappeared.
However, in the last hundred years or so, the investigation and exploration have produced some results, mainly due to several times, one is that in the early thirties, in the Qom River valley, an expedition team found a cemetery with a thousand coffins, in which a mummy wrapped in strips of cloth and a skull were found, and when sorting out other coffins, a well-preserved female corpse was found in one of the coffins, and the shroud on the corpse weathered into powder when touched, and after uncovering the cloth on the corpse, a woman appeared below, her eyes were closed, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she had just fallen asleep with magic, and a mysterious smile appeared on her face。
This body is the legendary "Princess Loulan" or "Queen Rob", which is more than 2,000 years old, and it is said that the thousands of coffins around her were all buried.
In addition to this discovery in the early thirties, in the early eighties, on the north bank of the ancient channel of the Peacock River, the ruins of dozens of ancient tombs were discovered.
The discovery of these two cemeteries can be regarded as completely establishing the mystery and orientation of the ancient city of Loulan, and also confirming the evidence of the existence of Loulan.
Around noon, Emperor Zhou, Su Tong, and Wang Changsheng stood on a small hill with equipment and supplies on their backs, and looked northwest from where they saw the remains of many city walls, houses, and some buildings on the desert.
This is the ruins of the legendary ancient kingdom of Loulan, and it is also one of the most mysterious places in this land.
More than half an hour later, the three of them were already in the ruins of the ancient city, I don't know if it was an illusion or a reality, as soon as people came to the ruins, they seemed to instantly feel the vicissitudes of history and the passage of time.
Su Tong stretched out his hand, grabbed a handful of dust from a ruined city wall, twisted it, and said softly, "Where has the Loulan Palace gone......
