Because Fang Yi and the others want to go to the place, they must pass through the ancient city of Loulan, so this way is to go straight to the ancient city, although there are no people on the road, but from time to time you can see some animal carcasses that died on the side of the road, there are goats and wild horses, Fang Yi also saw the skeleton of a camel.

There is only a distance of more than 300 kilometers from the inhabited county town to the ancient city of Loulan in Lop Nur, but the speed of tens of kilometers per hour in the desert made Fang Yi and Wei Mingcheng run for two whole days, and two days later, they saw the extremely prestigious ancient city of Loulan.

Loulan is the remains of the ancient city of the Western Regions, the name was first seen in the "Historical Records", it was once the place where the Silk Road must pass, it was the key point of the Silk Road, and in many books of the Han and Tang dynasties, the prosperity of Loulan was recorded.

However, this important town on the Silk Road has been glorious for nearly 500 years, and gradually lost its population, and disappeared silently on the historical stage, and now the ancient city of Loulan covers an area of about 120,000 square meters, close to the square, with a side length of about 330 meters, and the entire site is scattered in the Yadan landform group on the west bank of Lop Nur.

"A good civilization is buried in the long river of history. ”

Looking at the broken wall from a distance, Fang Yi shook his head with some feeling, this situation was very similar to the giant city he saw in Cambodia, even if it was so far away, Fang Yi obviously had a feeling of desolation and loneliness in his heart.

Although Fang Yi doesn't know much about Lop Nur, he is very familiar with the ancient country of Loulan, because in Sun Lianda's teaching, he tells the history of the ancient city of Loulan, to be precise, it should be the ancient country of Loulan, because one or two thousand years ago, the ancient country of Loulan, which did not cover a large area, was famous in the Western Regions.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty passed through the Western Regions at the beginning, the envoys passed through Loulan, and Loulan at that time repeatedly for the Huns as eyes and ears, robbed the envoys of the Western Han Dynasty, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to Loulan, captured its king, Loulan that surrendered to the Han, and was attacked by the Huns, so he sent his servants, to both sides of the courtiers.

After the Xiongnu servant An Gui was established as the king of Loulan, then pro-Xiongnu, became a confidant of the Han Dynasty, the younger brother of the king who had been a proton in the Han Dynasty Tu Qi surrendered to the Han Dynasty, reported the situation to the Han Dynasty, Han sent Fu Jiezi to Loulan, assassinated An Gui, Li Wei Tu Qi as the king, changed the name of the country to Shanshan, and moved the capital to Hunicheng.

But after a few hundred years, the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the Shanshan Kingdom, which existed for about 600 years, and the Shanshan Kingdom, that is, Loulan, perished.

Frequent wars and predatory looting have devastated Loulan's vegetation and transportation and trade status, and the ancient country on the edge of the desert has lost these two basic elements and cannot exist, so it has become a scene full of yellow sand and a vast expanse today.

For a thousand years, mankind forgot about this ancient country covered with yellow sand, until the beginning of the last century, the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin accidentally discovered the existence of the ancient country of Loulan, and the news immediately caused a huge sensation around the world.

Speaking of which, the discovery of Loulan was also extremely accidental, when Sven Hedin was investigating in the Lop Desert, and the donkey worker and guide he hired Eldik lost his tools, and on the way to find it, he accidentally found an ancient site on the northwest shore of Lop Nur.

When Sven Hedin heard about it, he immediately followed Eldic to the ruins, and found that the ground of this ancient ruin was dotted with beautiful wood carvings, fabrics, and coins.

Sven Hedin did not stay long at the site due to a lack of drinking water, and after returning home, Hedin made a special trip to the site for a week of excavation after a year of preparation.

After sorting and analyzing, Hedin determined that this relic was Loulan according to the word Loulan in the unearthed documents, and this important discovery shocked the world and won great honor for Sven Heding.

Subsequently, the British Stein and the Japanese Tachibana Ruichao all found the Loulan site along Heding's road map, and their excavations were more thorough and detailed, but at the same time destructive and predatory.

He Ding has been to Loulan several times, excavated 13 points in Loulan City, and obtained a large number of ancient coins of Han and Wei dynasties and Rome, architectural wood carvings with Central Asian Hellenistic style, two wooden tablets, a large number of Wei and Jin wooden tablets, exquisite Central Plains silk fabrics and more than 150 pieces.

One of the expeditions established by Hedin was a member named Bergman, who found a large number of Loulan antiquities in a tributary of the Peacock River and unearthed a female mummy, known as the "Queen of Loulan" because of her luxurious clothing.

The reason why Fang Yi knows so much about the ancient country of Loulan is naturally because of these lost cultural relics, Sun Lianda once personally went to Loulan to preside over the excavation of cultural relics and archaeology, but because it was too meticulous to be looted here back then, and because of the weather, the excavation harvest was not very large.

"Yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will never be returned if it is not broken!"

Standing beside Fang Yi, Wei Mingcheng read out Wang Changling's famous poem for the ages, for soldiers, these two poems can undoubtedly make people's blood boil, especially standing on the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan at this moment, Wei Mingcheng seems to have heard the sound of war drums and horns for thousands of years.

"Brother Wei, I didn't think of you. ”

Hearing Wei Mingcheng's voice, Fang Yi shook his head slightly, and said: "Drunk and lying on the battlefield, don't smile, there are a few people who have fought in ancient and modern battles, and I don't know how many dry bones are buried under this Loulan Ancient Kingdom." ”

"Hey, I said you two, why are you sour here? Bai Chuxia next to him was a little amused when he heard this, and said, "Shall we go in and have a look?" There are still very few opportunities to come here. ”

If the ancient country of Loulan was in the outside world, I am afraid that it would have been thoroughly developed a long time ago, and a five-star scenic spot would not be able to run away, but because it was in the depths of Lop Nur, not to mention large machinery, it was difficult to transport even ordinary equipment, so this ancient city full of desolation still maintained its original form.

Only those who like to explore will come here, so Bai Chuxia, who has the spirit of adventure in her bones, is already eager to try, and the ancient city that is mostly buried under the yellow sand has a great attraction to her.

"Stay here for a day and head to the secret tomorrow. Fang Yi nodded, he didn't know that his decision was made, but it allowed everyone to enjoy a beautiful scenery that they had never seen before.

There is nothing new about the tour of the ancient city of Loulan, and the things that float on the surface have long been scavenged, but when the night comes, when a few people are ready to camp, they see a bright galaxy.

In remote locations, the stars tend to shine brighter than the city, and it looks like it's right overhead.

The galaxy that appeared on this day was particularly beautiful, rising from the ground where the horizon and the horizon meet, like building a starlight rainbow bridge between the sky and the earth, allowing Fang Yi and others to truly understand the meaning of the phrase "the sky is like the sky and covers the four fields".

"If you can see such a scene once in a lifetime, even if you die, it's worth it. Bai Chuxia snuggled in Fang Yi's arms and muttered to himself, this kind of scene is really shocking, compared to the heavens, the universe, the galaxy, and the galaxy, the human heart is so small.

"Maybe one day, we, too, will be able to enter the galaxy. ”

Fang Yi's thoughts were completely different from Bai Chuxia, he thought of the patterns he saw on the secret giant city in Cambodia, those powerful unimaginable human beings, who could fly away and pick up stars with one hand, if it was not exaggerated, it might be the end of evolution, as an evolutionary, Fang Yi asked himself if he also had hope to get to that point.

"Okay, let's go together!"

Bai Chuxia closed her eyes longingly, she slept very peacefully and sweetly this night, and she didn't wake up until the next morning, and found that Fang Yi was still in the same posture as last night, hugging herself motionless.

"Wake up, ready to go. ”

Fang Yi smiled and scraped his wife's nose, and hung the veil on her ear, the wind and sand in the desert are very strong, since he came in, Bai Chuxia has covered his entire face, plus the big sunglasses, he is dressed like a woman in *** country.

"How far is it?"

Seeing that Wei Mingcheng and the others not far away had already gotten up, Bai Chuxia stood up embarrassedly, took mouthwash from the car and rinsed his mouth, the water in the desert was reserved for drinking, so he naturally couldn't brush his teeth like in the outside world.

"It's going to be about two days away, and of course, if you're lucky. Wei Mingcheng rolled the window, pointed to the map and said, "If you encounter something like a sandstorm, it's hard to say, Fang Yi, when is the specific time when the secret realm will open?"

Originally, Wei Mingcheng thought that they had left a day earlier, and there should be plenty of time, but after entering the desert, Wei Mingcheng had no bottom in his heart, it was the same in the desert and in the forest, it was easy to get lost, and if they deviated a little, they might waste several days.

"Nothing will happen, go in that direction. Fang Yi took the map and looked at it for a while, then looked up in a direction.

"Fang Yi, it's not right. Wei Mingcheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he saw the direction Fang Yi was pointing to, raised his wrist to look at the compass on the multi-functional watch, and shook his head again and again: "That's the south, we should go west, and do you know where you are pointing to it?"

"How do I know what kind of place it is?" Fang Yi shook his head, it was his first time to come to Lop Nur, how did he know the direction of this place, but Fang Yi had a hexagram just now, judging from the hexagram, the place they were going to was the location they were pointing to.

"That's where the nuclear bomb was tested before, and although it hasn't been tested in years, maybe the nuclear radiation is still there, so what are we going to do there?"

One of the biggest taboos in Lop Nur is the nuclear test site decades ago, which is also the most feared place, because nuclear radiation can exist for many years, and it is not known whether the radiation period has passed.

"Listen to me, yes, let's go by. Fang Yi looked at the coordinates on the map and said, "Your compass is useless here, so let's do as I say." ”

In divination feng shui physiognomy, it is the most basic homework to find the direction of the golden point, this matter cannot be solved in a scientific way, but Fang Yi knows that the direction he pointed out is absolutely not wrong, and if he wants to go to that coordinate point, according to the route he said is the closest.

"Really?" Wei Mingcheng looked at Fang Yi with a hesitant expression, but he really didn't dare to doubt Fang Yi's words, because he had known Fang Yi for so long, Wei Mingcheng had never seen Fang Yi say a big word.

"Brother Wei, my uncle said that he wanted to listen to Brother Fang. ”

Zhang Wen, who has always rarely spoken in Fang Yi's team, chose to support Fang Yi as soon as he opened his mouth, he grew up in a family and had little contact with this society, so in Zhang Wen's eyes, Fang Yi, who was a cultivator, was a god-like existence, Wei Mingcheng questioned Fang Yi, wouldn't that be doubting the gods.

"I also listen to Brother Yi. Si Yuanjie also expressed his attitude in the back seat of the car, he even saved his own little life from those ruthless guys, so naturally he would not question Fang Yi's words.

"It's not for you to vote for choices, then listen to Fang Yi. ”

Seeing the appearance of the two of them supporting Fang Yi with a strong face, Wei Mingcheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, he, the team leader, was to drive a car to lead the way in front, as for the time to make a decision, it could only be Fang Yi's final say.

"Brother Wei, this time I'll drive in front, and you will follow behind. ”

Fang Yi beckoned Bai Chuxia to get into the car, he sat directly in the driver's seat, it was not too far from the place where the secret realm coordinates, and Fang Yi had a feeling that there seemed to be some kind of crisis in front of him.

After the car drove more than a hundred kilometers, Fang Yi stopped on a slightly higher sand dune, and he could feel that the sense of crisis in his heart was coming from the front.

"Fang Yi, what's wrong?" Wei Mingcheng rolled down the window.

"That's where nuclear tests used to be done. Fang Yi pushed the door and got out of the car, and said to Wei Mingcheng under the sand dunes: "You guys wait here, I'll come back when I go, those radiation won't do anything to me." ”
