Section 180 discovers Loulan

We continued to march forward in the sparsely populated Lop Nur Desert, and in the evening sunset, this desolate boundless, vast desert was so dead and intimidating. For thousands of years, the stars have shifted, the water has washed and the wind has eroded, shaping the Yadan landform of Lop Nur. Wind erosion mushrooms, the flat ground rises without thousands of strange and strange natural artifacts, all kinds of strange forms of wind erosion landforms, thousands of postures, vivid, breathtaking, a dead silence of Lop Nur wind and sand everywhere, the endless Gobi Desert, the yellow sand Momo, shocking, leading people to reverie, only from time to time to sometimes appear a little with tenacious life tension of ephedra, red willow, reeds and other green plants add a touch of smart atmosphere here, but more reflect the loneliness and poverty of the desert. The vast Gobi is mostly covered by the wasteland of black stones, and the dry basin of Lop Nur Lake is full of cracks, full of white saline-alkali, after countless thermal expansion and cold contraction, the saline-alkali shell swells up like a pocket filled with wind, becomes hard and abnormal, pits and pits are packed, uneven, and can be seen at a glance under the scorching sun of the desert, like a solidified white glacier.

Seeing that the sky is getting late, gorgeous and colorful, the majestic colorful glow is all over the sky, we began to be busy as before, methodically building a bonfire, roasting game, setting up tents, and then everyone sat around the roaring bonfire, drinking wine and eating meat, talking and laughing, singing about wine, staggering, the bustle and hustle and bustle in front of us slightly diluted the sadness and loneliness of the environment, so that we were relieved and happy.

Suddenly, a large group of red-clothed people unexpectedly, menacing appeared in front of us, they fell from the sky, they were murderous, the crowd was prepared, we quickly stood up to meet the enemy, for a time the sword and sword, flying sand and stones, calcium carbide sparks, everyone was inseparable, the battle lasted hundreds of rounds and did not distinguish between victory and defeat, but because we were limited in number, although the corner of the stubborn resistance, after a long time, finally outnumbered, defeated and retreated, defeated, and was about to be caught in the urn, fortunately, the miracle finally appeared, the original weather in the desert said to change, the sky was full of sand, the wind and wind, those red-clothed people were blown to the side, the formation was chaoticIn the wind and sand, everyone couldn't open their eyes and was in a mess.

God really helped us, and finally turned the corner for the time being, and we quickly escaped in the wind and sand.

Our group hurried non-stop, striding towards the depths of the desert, fortunately finally left those chasing the red-clothed people behind, after the violent sandstorm, everything seemed so clearly visible, suddenly, in front of our eyes suddenly appeared tall golden pagoda and cascading houses, a beautiful ancient city miraculously revealed its mysterious face, we thought that we were in a panic to see the dazzled, or the mirage phenomenon in the desert, completely appeared in our expectations, did we find the ruins of the legendary ancient country of LoulanIf this is the case, our luck is really good, because the ancient country of Loulan is extremely mysterious, it has been found several times, it has disappeared several times, the long history here, the legends of the Arabian Nights are fascinating, and its mysterious disappearance on the earth, and its unexpected appearance, aroused the interest of many people - many Chinese and foreign tourists and explorers have worked tirelessly along the Silk Road to the west to witness this historical and cultural city of ancient Loulan. We couldn't wait to get closer to see that it was indeed a mysterious ancient city.

And outside the ancient city, there are small pieces of felt, red cloth, brown braids, coins, pottery shards, a large number of Chinese, Lu Wen wooden tablets, paper documents and some Sogdian documents, as well as exquisite silk, woolen fabrics, unique style of wood carvings and other priceless treasures, but no one cares, and we found that the word "Kroraina" appeared many times on the Lu Wen wooden slips at the gate of the ancient city, and then according to the Chinese slips found in the ruins, this city is called Loulan, so we boldly presume that this is the ancient country of Loulan, and Loulan is " Kroraina". We were all in high spirits and dancing. Because of this mysterious ancient city known as "Pompeii in the Desert", Loulan, the ancient country of the Western Regions, finally revealed its mysterious true face of Lushan.

Xiao Fei said vividly: "I didn't expect that we would be better than those Sven ยท Archaeologists such as Heding discovered this place thousands of years ago, we really should be recorded in the annals of history, but this Loulan ancient city seems to only see the fate of people, we are really extremely lucky, because not everyone who enters the desert can get out alive, and not everyone alive can see the mysterious ancient Loulan country, Li Heding once recalled: how lucky the shovel is, otherwise he will never return to the ancient city, to achieve this important discovery as if there is a fixed number, so that the ancient history of central Asia has been unexpectedly newSven Hedin later wrote about his feelings in Lop Nur in the second volume of his report "Results of Scientific Expeditions in Central Asia in 1899~1902", "Lop Nur": The scenery here is dead and silent, like coming to the moon. Not a single fallen leaf can be seen, not a single animal can be seen, as if humans had never set foot in it. โ€

I also praised and said: "I didn't expect that we discovered the ancient city of Loulan in the Great Song Dynasty thousands of years ago, and it was still so intact, and it has not been baptized by the wind and sand. It's not the red willows and reeds that are built of the wall roots that only have broken tiles left. โ€

We are quietly waiting to stand in front of this beautiful ancient city, as if we saw the green water high-rise buildings here thousands of years ago, the flowing water is murmuring, the traffic is busy, the people are thriving, the beauties are like clouds, the businessmen are traveling, the high-headed camels are endless, the silver bells are ringing, and the life scene is ringing.
