I didn't expect to be gnawed by the man-eating ants, but I was harmed by this curse, looking at my pangolin-like skin, the panic in my heart gradually turned into a kind of helplessness, although we are not far from Shiozawa, but who knows if there will be any moths in the middle.

We started from Yumen Pass and Yangguan, and now we have walked in the desert for thirteen days in a row, these thirteen days are really like years, occasionally you can see abandoned cities, and there are many white bones, and there are no other signs of life, no wonder the ancients often said: "The desert is hell".

On the morning of the fourteenth day, the soft yellow sand beneath our feet had turned to a saline soil, and the situation here was more gloomy and dead than in the desert. Baocai looked ahead and whispered to me, "Son, this is the White Dragon Pile in Lop Nur, right?"

I looked at the undulating white earthen platform in front of me, and read: "Loulan is the most in the east, near the Han Dynasty, when the white dragon pile, there is a lack of water and grass...... It's time to be here......"

Bailongdui is a no-man's land from ancient times to the present, known as the place of death, there is no water and grass, there are no birds and animals, it is the famous Yadan landform group. According to ancient books, there are often evil spirits in the middle of the night. And now it is August, when we enter Bailongdui for the worst climate, if we can survive here, we will arrive at Yanze Middle Road, that is Guloulan.

The only thing we can be thankful for now is that we found a small oasis two days ago and had supplies, otherwise we would have stepped into hell with both feet in here, and we would never have been able to step out again.

The wind and sand of the white dragon pile are not as crisp as in the desert, it bursts for a while, revealing a gloomy atmosphere, we can't walk at night in this place, if there is a mobile phone, there is no signal, and you have to get lost while walking, so the big guy decided to find a sheltered place to rest when the night falls.

The thick clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, leaving thousands of golden rays of light on the earth, and when I climbed up to a higher earth platform, I found that these endless earth platforms were really like a white dragon clinging to the gravel, and its back loomed in the sea of sand, which was very spectacular.

At this moment, Bao Cai shouted to me excitedly: "Son, what did you see I picked up?"

I climbed down from the platform and said, "What's that?"

Baocai stretched out his hand and said, "This time it's a good coin, this is an ancient coin, how much do you say it's worth?"

I jumped down, looked down, and said with a smile: "There are many players in the folk collection of this thing, not to mention how valuable it is, so you should commemorate your visit." ”

Hearing this, Baocai's interest was reduced by half, and I saw that his face was as cracked as mine, and my heart was sad, and I thought that it was better not to spoil his interest at this time, so I said, "But...... This is the ancient road of the Silk Road, and the treasures that have fallen may be more than ancient coins!"

When Bao Cai heard this, his dim eyes suddenly lit up again, and he said excitedly: "Hey, it's really fake, then I'll look for it again." ”

Wang Bajian listened with his ears on the side, and saw that the treasure turned around to find the valuable treasure, and followed behind his ass without saying a word, looking at the back of the two wealth fans leaving, I remembered some legends about the white dragon pile, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, don't run too far, this place is dangerous!"

The two of them waved at me and said back to me from afar, "Got it!"

After they left, I stretched out my hand, looked at the cracks on my body becoming more and more obvious, smiled bitterly, and thought to myself: "If we can't find the holy water of Shiozawa, we will be finished, and maybe if we go underground with some ancient coins, we will not be bullied by other evil spirits because we are penniless." ”

The golden light in the sky dimmed, and the black curtain belonging to the white dragon pile gradually enveloped the earth, and when the night officially came, the earth platforms were like guards standing in the hell of death, they were deep and cold, and it was terrifying.

We sit around the edge of the earthen platform, the white dragon pile has sparse old tree trunks, you can imagine that in the early years, this was also a paradise on earth with beautiful water and flourishing vegetation, but now with the change of time, the vicissitudes of the sea can only be under the scorching earth, into a sad soul covered by quicksand.

The rivers do not flow forever, and when we reach a desolate and vast place, we sometimes can't help but feel that our own desires have caused God to punish us with deprivation.

In the Western Han Dynasty, when the Han people entered the ancient city of Loulan located on the edge of Yanze, when they put down the defensive sand and dust, and loyally guarded the poplars of Loulan and Lop Nur, they felt that cutting down trees and building houses did not have any effect, but they forgot that it took a thousand years for Populus euphratica to grow so tall...... So later there was the legend of poplar tears.

They are so sad, for millennia, it has watched generations of people be born, grow up, and die...... In the end, because of the multiplication and ignorance of man, it ended up with a thousand-year-old torso, cracked skin and exposed bones, and was ruthlessly thrown into the yellow sand, some people say that the desert wind was not so dangerous and ruthless, but it was in a cold earth, so it often smiled sadly, and its temperament became very strange.

When I threw the body of the poplar into the fire, my heart was heavy, and the revenge of nature was inevitable, and it made Lop Nur (Yanzawa) lose signs of life, leaving only vicissitudes and desolation.

I was amazed, except for the sound of the branches crackling in and out of the trees, the surroundings were surprisingly quiet, and there was a faint sense of unease. At this moment, Baocai and Wang Bajian have not returned, and I wonder if these two people are picking up treasures and picking up demons, so I got up and planned to go to them.

The little Taoist priest was afraid that something would happen to me, so he made a torch and walked with me. The two of them bypassed an earthen platform, and there was no sign of them. I thought to myself, "Damn, money is the devil, and these two people don't know where they've been taken." ”

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the frightened cry of the treasure, which was particularly abrupt and terrible under the empty earth. The little Taoist priest and I looked at each other and trotted away with the sound, but there was no figure of them as we walked around the earthen platforms that had been eroded by the water.

I called a few times with the little Taoist priest, and I could hear the responses of Baocai and Wang Bajian, but I searched for a while, but I couldn't find anyone. This reminds me of when I went to visit the Yadan landform, the guide said to us tourists, entering this kind of place, there is no mobile phone signal, and it is impossible to locate it, there was once a geologist who entered Yadan and never came out, he disappeared mysteriously, and no one found his bones.

Thinking of this, my scalp was numb, and I was even more anxious to call Baocai and Wang Bajian, and shuttling through this landscape, the poplar torches we carried flickered uncertainly, and the little Taoist priest said that there was a dark wind surging, so I tried to walk close to the wall of the earthen platform. In this kind of place, if there is no light, if we can't find the way, we will be finished.

I asked Baocai what had just happened? He was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, so I scolded him: "Don't go so far, why don't you have a long memory!"

Wang Bajian said: "We didn't go far, we just picked up the coins on the ground, and then we couldn't get out, and now we ...... There are so many ...... in this place now."

I was nervous for a while, and hurriedly said, "What's more?"

Wang Bajian straightened out his thoughts and said, "Oh, there are so many bones, it's too scary!"

When I heard this, I looked at the little Taoist priest and said, "How can there be a lot of bones when birds don't poop and chickens don't lay eggs here?"

Before the little Taoist priest could speak, Wang Bajian said again: "You ...... Come on...... The bones here are all displayed in the earthen wall......"

When I heard what he said, my heart sank for a moment, and I thought of the corpse cocoons I saw in the tomb of Princess Chu, and their corpses were also displayed in an orderly manner in the bronze cave at that time, looking particularly evil. It stands to reason that this place is barren, and there are not even bird shadows, so how can anyone go out of their way to display the corpses?

Bao Cai's voice was a little strange and said: "Son, come quickly, hurry up......" I listened to his voice, my heart tightened, and I thought to myself: "Why is Bao Cai's tone like an old woman's spirit?"

However, the depressing thing is that since we entered the Yadan landform group, it is as if we have entered a maze, this voice is obviously close at hand, but when we really look for it, it feels far away in the sky.

I was confused, I felt dizzy, each earthen platform was erected, very tall, from our close point of view, they all looked about the same, we had been walking for a long time, walking back and forth, it was the same scene, I suddenly became anxious, I thought: "How can it seem that there is some force in the dark that hinders us, is it really as the folk say, there are many evil spirits here, and now they are in a maze to stumble our feet?" Are we in the trap, I heard that it is difficult to get out of this kind of landform. And they say there are bones here...... That...... Is it a ghost hitting the wall?"

The little Taoist priest said without any emotion: "Don't worry, the more chaotic the heart is, the more it will put you in trouble, you have to believe that there is no real way in the world that can make people lost, only the heart that will be lost." ”

I looked at him as calm as water, and for the first time felt that his speech was a little impersonal, and I complained excitedly: "How can this situation not be chaotic, how long have we been walking here, I heard them call Ming Ming on the side!

The little Taoist priest stopped, took a long breath, looked at me, suddenly pulled my hand, pulled out the Mongolian knife at my waist, and cut a shallow cut on my hand. I watched the blood slowly oozing out, reacted, immediately withdrew my hand, glared, and asked, "What are you doing?"

The little Taoist priest said indifferently: "As you said, we have entered the ......," he said, and he swept his gaze over the giant-like earthen platforms around us, "They are not large, and they are arranged irregularly, which is easy to bring people a sense of oppression and tension......

I listened to one of them, stunned for a while, there was a sudden flash of thunder and lightning in my head, and then I felt it, and muttered: "Indeed, it's too uncomfortable here, it's nothing just when I just came in, the more ......I go to the middle, the more annoying I feel in my heart" To tell the truth, the little Taoist priest is very capable, and has saved us several times, he is my benefactor, and he has left a green name in history, so I respect him very much, and I also worship him slightly, and never speak loudly to him.

My mind gradually cleared up, and I was about to say sorry to him, but he seemed to see through my thoughts, and said first, "Is it better now?"

I was stunned for a moment, looking at the blood being released from my palm, at this moment, my heart was indeed much calmer than just now, so I nodded. At the same time, Wang Bajian and Baocai were still calling us eagerly, and I was also anxious in my heart, asking the little Taoist priest what to do?

The little Taoist priest said, "Sometimes what you see with your eyes can deceive people...... and he closed his eyes and judged the location of the treasures by his ears. I tried to close my eyes and listen, but I didn't take two steps before I felt flustered and insecure.

I was afraid that I would bump into the earth platform or be bumped by something, so I had to keep my eyes open and follow the little Taoist. Watching him smoothly bypass the earthen platform, I thought to myself: "Sure enough, it is the rumored Zhang Banxian, walking with his eyes closed must first be free of distracting thoughts, but people without distracting thoughts are all soul sublimation and transcendent from the world, if I want him to be half calm, I won't be so impatient just now." ”

Finally we stopped in the towering earthen circle, which was like a valley, dark and impermanent, Wang Bajian and Baocai saw us coming, and stopped screaming, and the surroundings became silent, and in an instant, a cold air struck, and a silent strangeness surrounded us. The shadows of the two of them stood under the strange shape, pressed under the earthen platform above their heads, unable to see their faces clearly, only the condensed and unclear outlines remained, if it was anyone else, it would be forgotten, this would see that his partner suddenly stood silently and silently, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and called out unnaturally: "Bao Ye, Bajian?"
