899.Chapter 899: Finding the Source of the Curse
"To the west of Lop Nur, that is the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, could it be that this curse came from the ruins of Loulan?" Li Shizhen, who had not spoken much, suddenly spoke. In his spare time, he likes to study some antiques, and finds that these antiques are very similar to several antiquities in his collection, which are said to have been unearthed from the ancient country of Loulan. It's just that there is no Medusa pattern on the pieces in my collection.
The ancient kingdom of Loulan is located in the lower reaches of the Peacock River in the west of Lop Nur, adjacent to Dunhuang, one of the 36 city-states in the Western Regions, and is one of the most mysterious ancient ruins. It was brilliant for a while, and was finally buried in the yellow sand. As for the reasons for its demise, there are different opinions, but no one has been able to give an accurate conclusion.
Because the ancient country of Loulan was buried in the yellow sand, the environment was very harsh, and the location seemed to flow with the sand river, so it was difficult to find, so even archaeologists only knew a little about it. However, some people passing by the Loulan ruins can occasionally pick up some antiquities in Loulan City.
Everyone was big for a while, and it was already enough to give people a headache when they got involved in Western myths and legends, but now they were involved in the ancient country of Loulan, and they were even more clueless for a while. Because these two things are fundamentally unrelated and cannot be confused.
"Brother, I found different versions of the legend of Medusa. The little nurse, who was playing with the computer, suddenly spoke.
"Legend has it that Medusa was a beautiful girl with long green hair and sapphire blue eyes like the sea. She was born in Greece and sailed the seas with her lover.
She felt very happy. But the unfortunate darkness soon came, and a group of pirates boarded their ship. In order to protect herself, her lover betrayed her to pirates.
Pain, sadness, anger, despair. She cursed herself in her insults, cursed her lover who betrayed her, cursed the pirates who insulted her, cursed the sea that brought her misfortune, cursed the gods who watched everything mercilessly.
Her hair began to grow longer and grew sharp teeth, forming a snake's head. Her eyes were gone, and those who had seen her had turned to stone. She wants those hateful men to never be reincarnated.
Hatred filled her whole heart, she had forgotten the warmth of the world, and she did not remember that there was still love in the world. She indulges herself and does not spare anyone who approaches her. She's taking revenge, in the most vicious way. People began to fear her. She is getting farther and farther away from this world. ”
"Could it be that Medusa crossed the ocean and floated to the country of China?"
"It's not out of the question. Wang Dadong touched his chin.
"Forget it, don't think about it so much, since this curse came from the ancient country of Loulan, then let's go directly to the Loulan ruins and see if we can find some clues. Chen Bowen said.
"Yes, the best way to break the curse is to find its source and destroy it. Wang Dadong agrees with Chen Bowen's statement.
Soon, the group set off and headed towards the ancient country of Loulan, which was more than 300 kilometers away from Donghao Town, and at the same time, Donghao Town issued a notice that it was strictly forbidden to trade all items brought out of the Loulan ruins, especially things with patterns.
"I said Old Man Chen, the patient is sick, we don't go to treat the patient, we have to go to the desert to find some ancient ruins for what?" Wang Cong showed great incomprehension of everyone's approach. Because after all, he has stayed in the ocean, and he likes to start everything from a scientific point of view, and he is very disdainful of supernatural things.
"Can you cure this strange disease?" asked Wang Dadong.
"I can't be cured, but I can turn to my mentor, he must have a way. ”
Wang Dadong sneered: "I can tell you for sure that Yangmaozi's set can't cure this strange disease." ”
"My mentor is the greatest medical expert in the world, and there is no disease that he cannot cure. Wang Cong said proudly, completely ignoring the four ghost doctors sitting next to him.
If you really want to talk about medical attainments, the abilities of the four ghost doctors are no worse than any foreign experts and scholars. Fortunately, the four ghost doctors measured relatively large, so they didn't hear it.
"Then you can go back now and see your mentor if you can cure your curse. Wang Dadong was too lazy to say, reached out to take the apple on the table, and prepared to peel an apple for the little nurse to offer a courtesy.
"I'm not sick, so why should I be treated. Wang Cong snatched the apple in his hand first, picked up the sharp scalpel and sharpened it.
"Ouch!" but as soon as he had slashed his hand twice, the scalpel made a small cut in his hand.
Wang Cong picked up his finger and sucked it in his mouth, and then continued to peel the apple. In less than ten seconds, he cut his finger again.
"Don't cut it, it's time to cut your fingers off later. Wang Dadong couldn't stand it anymore. An apple at the good end was so bloody that he didn't dare to eat the apple in the future.
"Damn, it's such an evil sect, why are my hands so numb?" Wang Cong put down the apple and began to treat the wound.
Wang Dadong smiled, "That's because you have been cursed, and now that the curse has occurred, your body will gradually stiffen, and it will eventually turn into a big stone." ”
"Don't bluff me, I don't believe it!" Wang Cong said stiffly.
Wang Dadong looked at Chen Bowen and the others and asked, "Chen Gong, how do you feel?"
Several people nodded and said that they felt their fingers tingle slightly.
Seeing that the ghost doctors didn't seem to be joking, Wang Cong's face changed slightly, "The Medusa curse you said can't be true, right?"
"Fake. ”
Everyone didn't want to pay attention to Wang Cong.
The ancient country of Loulan is buried in the yellow sand, and the car can not move forward when it reaches Ruoqiang County, and if you want to go to the ruins of Loulan, you have to walk.
Fortunately, Ruoqiang County is located on the edge of the desert, and many families have camels, and after paying some compensation, everyone got seven camels. There are twelve people in total, which is definitely not enough to ride, and there must be several people who have to ride in pairs.
"Yiyang, you see that we are neither heavy, let's ride a horse together?" Wang Congtian walked over shamelessly.
"No, I'm going to ride one with my brother. The little nurse immediately refused.
"Go aside, why didn't you say that you weren't heavy when you parachuted?" Wang Dadong stood in front of the little nurse and stopped Wang Cong from approaching.
Wang Cong hated itchy, but he didn't dare to do anything with Wang Dadong.
"Don't be too arrogant, Tubaozi, no one here can cure you, and someone will always be able to cure you when you go back. ”
"I'll have to wait until you get back, but by then I guess you've turned to stone, and someone will have to carry you back. Wang Dadong competed with it.
Eventually, Wang Cong rode a camel alone, because no one wanted to ride with him.
Wang Dadong shared a horse with the little nurse, embracing the weak and boneless innocent little nurse. The fragrance is tempting, so unpleasant.
