It is more than 50 kilometers from the city of Yinshi to the destination of this trip, Baisikou, and now the road is not wide and flat after more than 20 years, and the car is not an off-road vehicle with excellent performance, and it takes more than an hour to reach the destination.

An hour later, Zhang Nan saw from a distance that at the foot of Helan Mountain, a pair of tall ancient towers were guarding both sides of a mountain pass like twin brothers.

Several people in the car pointed in the direction of the twin towers, feeling that everyone was very interested, and a local cultural management department escort sitting in front of him said: "This is the Baisikou Twin Towers, a national key cultural relics protection unit."

The mountain pass in front is called Baisikou, the original name is 'Baisikou', according to research, the area near this mountain pass, there are as many as more than 100 temples in the most prosperous time, so it was originally named like this.

There is no clear record of the construction time of the twin towers in front, but we can confirm that there was a Buddhist temple here during the Xixia period based on a large number of fragments of glazed components of the same style as the tombs of the Tangut kings scattered around the twin towers, as well as the records of local historical records.

These two towers can be determined to be built at the same time as the Buddhist temple, but the temple buildings around the twin towers have been destroyed during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and when Qianlong was four years old in the Qing Dynasty, there was an 8-magnitude earthquake in the Xianing area, but fortunately, the twin towers were not shaken down, which is very magical.

Four years ago, we organized forces to repair the twin towers, and found that many statues and brick structures in the tower body did not conform to the style of the Xixia period, according to the situation of other repaired towers around it, it can be judged that the twin towers have undergone many repairs in the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and the tower body is basically no longer the original thing built at the beginning of the Xixia Dynasty.

We have also found Tangut and Sanskrit inscriptions on the central pillars at the top of the two towers, and we have been carbon-14 measured on the central wooden pillars of the twin towers, which can confirm that the twin towers were built in the late Tangut period..."

The two tall towers are very beautiful, facing each other from the east and west, about 100 meters apart, and they are all eight-sided thirteen-story pavilion-style brick towers. The total height of the east tower is about 39 meters, and the total height of the west tower is about 36 meters, which is a bit of a sight, but the neighborhood is too desolate: one side faces the mountain, and there is a very small village of Baisikou on the side.

The southwest is full of grassy beaches, but fortunately it is the middle of September, and you can still see a patch of green all around. If you're here in winter, it's 100% grey-yellow.

However, as soon as you enter the ravine of Helan Mountain, it is basically a green world, and you must know that there is a national park in the future, and the wildlife resources are still quite abundant.

I didn't waste time on the two stupas at the mouth of the ditch, and the two cars stopped in the village of Baisikou, and the road ended here, so you had to walk to enter the ditch.

"More than ten kilometers of mountain roads, don't go in, I'll let Hai Bo and Mark take you around here, there are a lot of petroglyphs here..."

Zhang Nan didn't want Weng Qianhui to go into the ravine together, this one-way way was more than ten kilometers, and it was estimated that it would not be possible to reach it in three hours, and everyone would camp in it for the night, which was not suitable for a woman who grew up in the city.

There are also two experts who think they have bad legs and feet - it is really difficult to see the road ahead as soon as you reach the ditch!

In the Helan Mountains in this area, flash floods often break out in summer and autumn, and the ravines are full of rocks, and you need a strong ability to move in the field.

Leaving Mark and Jacob, the two brothers too big to drill into the ravine, just in time to accompany their women and experts back to the city in the afternoon.

Weng Qianhui was still very interested in drilling the ravine before, but when he arrived here, he would see the actual situation in the ravine and immediately face the reality: it is better to avoid such natural conditions.

As for Charlize Theron, the master who can even participate in African expeditions, the poor road conditions in the ravine can't stop her. Today, I deliberately wore a top outdoor brand MARMOT (marmot) gear, just waiting to go.

Hanging out with her brother, a set of outdoor equipment is always available, this is the experience that Charlie summed up. Anyway, you don't have to worry about carrying it yourself, the pomp and circumstance of the celebrity lady travel is half learned, as long as you go out, there will always be a few large flight suitcases of luggage.

It was arranged, and the troops were divided into two routes, a small group of people formed a real tourist group, accompanied by a local comrade, and Zhang Nan's team entered the mountain with the help of local villagers hired in advance.

Before I arrived, I expected that I might camp in the wilderness for a night or two, and I prepared camping equipment in the capital, all of which were lightweight single and double tents and spring and autumn sleeping bags.

It is lightweight, and it is easy for everyone to carry their own equipment, but in this case, there are several donkeys hired to carry them.

Water, food, Tang Gui's treasure box, and the cauldron brought from the city, the donkeys really didn't have much luck, so they let the tent and sleeping bag do it for them.

As for Zhang Nan and Charlize Theron, they each carried a small backpack and just made a show.

The local village chief and a villager each carried a long gun, a double-barreled shotgun and a Type 5 or 6 rifle that looked more than 20 years old.

Are there wolves in Helan Mountain?

I don't know, but the villagers in this area are actually similar to herdsmen, and it is normal to carry guns. However, according to Zhang Nan's usual security standards, it is not allowed to carry guns among the people who act together.

After some negotiations, the semi-automatic rifle was left in the village, and the shotgun was carried on Guan Xingquan's back.

Three hours later, a tall, quaint ancient pagoda appeared in everyone's sight: this is the little-known Baisigou Square Pagoda.

......

On September 21, Zhang Nan returned to the capital, but he really didn't expect that he would still play a circle in Xia Ning before the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

It's only a few days, and it's boring, so let's go back.

The tower doesn't fall, it's just a tower;

Zhang Nan didn't have any idea of stopping the bombing of the tower at all, and he was not a virgin, so he didn't bother to organize, who he liked to bomb!

Jiang Aihua has a few tickets for tomorrow's opening ceremony, and since this is the case, Zhang Nan also went to join in the fun.

I watched it on TV in my last life, but I didn't expect to feel it on the spot this time.

On the 25th, I took the woman back to Yan County and stayed for more than ten days until I received a call from Nicole.

Not for the box, it would have been wandering around a cargo ship in the Mediterranean.

It's in Africa.

Not in their own industry, but in Egypt.

“... That William Brin isn't trying to settle accounts with me, is he? I haven't paid back the copper tripod I borrowed!"

Didn't pay it back?

I don't want to pay it back at all!

Zhang Nan was a little hesitant on the phone, and Professor William Breen, an archaeologist who worked with him in Sudan last time, came to contact him again: this time he went to Egypt, and he was busy there for more than half a year.

It's still the pyramids, the pyramids of Egypt, or the money, and we also have to find Zhang Nan, the big wronged leader!

On the other end of the phone, Nicole said: "He doesn't dare, he gained more than you from the last archaeology, and he still gained fame and fortune."

Now that the Sultan is in a pot of porridge, at least one-tenth of the pyramid artifacts found before are in his hands, and the exact number is estimated to be known only to him......"

Almost all the data is in William's hands, Zhang Nanna still has photos, this Sudanese war together, hehe......

There are too few people like Nong Bosheng!
