"Men should make contributions to the border and seal the marquis for thousands of miles. Fire Ran??? Text ?ena'com"
Among the 36 countries, Wusun, Dawan, Gaochang and many other countries occupy the most favorable terrain on the ancient silk road, and they are also located in the intertwined zone of nomadic minority power and central government on the Mongolian plateau. Changes in the military situation and the central government's attitude toward the Western Regions have determined the fate of these small countries in the Western Regions to a certain extent.
Some were destroyed in the war. The Gaochang Kingdom was between the central government of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks, and it was wavering between leaning towards the Tang Dynasty or the Western Turks. In the end, it angered the central government and sent a large army to destroy it.
Some were abandoned due to the relocation of residents. The ruins of Niya found today are the location of the capital of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and the history books record that the population of the Jingjue country is 3,336 people, and the army is 500 people. Xuanzang recorded in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty": The land around the city is hot and humid, but the road in the middle of the city can only be passed. At the beginning of the last century, Western explorers found the site of Niya through a detailed study of the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty".
Wusun is a magical nation worthy of strong ink in the ancient history of China's Western Regions. She was born in the Warring States period and died in the Liao and Song dynasties, with a total history of more than 1,300 years.
During the more than 1,300 years of existence of Wusun Kingdom, she once created an ancient civilization that amazed the Western Han Dynasty, which is covered in many ancient books. However, all along, a big question has been in front of us, how did this magical country of the Western Regions mysteriously disappear in an unknown way, and at whose hands did she die? What is even more amazing is that this incredible country has inadvertently and magically regained its strength and become the largest country in the Western Regions, which is deeply appreciated by the Han Dynasty.
However, for thousands of years, no one has given a convincing answer to how Wusun created this great miracle in human history.
Professor Wang Yibo has a great enthusiasm for the study and research of the 36 ancient kingdoms of the Western Regions, as if he is telling history, telling about the mysterious color and love of Wusun Kingdom.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's rumored that Wusun Kingdom has built a mysterious bronze giant gate, some people say it's a door to open another world, some people say it's a gate through time, and some people say that the door leads to hell, rumors about him are scarce and mysterious, few people know about it, if you can see that mysterious bronze giant gate with your own eyes, you will die of old decay without regrets. Professor Huang Yibo sighed.
Lin Yumai was deeply shocked, it turned out that this old man knew that the mysterious bronze gate existed.
They had seen the bronze gate with their own eyes, but he had kept such a mysterious thing better.
But he also wanted to know what the bronze giant gate was, so he asked curiously: "Professor Huang, what bronze giant gate is and what is it used for?" ”
Professor Huang Yibo sighed and said, " It is rumored that when the Wusun country was in trouble, the prince of Wusun originally went thousands of miles to the Central Plains of the Western Han Dynasty, and invited a master, who was proficient in gossip and feng shui, and had asked the prince of Wusun to change the situation when he wanted to build a bronze giant gate, and the prince of Wusun naturally believed his words, so he was a hundred feet, and the master personally surveyed the feng shui array, and laid down the gossip guard array to guard the construction of the bronze giant gate, according to legend, the bronze giant gate was built with the power of the whole country, which took a full twenty years, and consumed countless troops, manpower, material and financial resources, to create a mysterious bronze giant gate that only the Wusun royal family and masters know, and those craftsmen and soldiers who had built were all buried underground, became the Yin soldier and ghost general who guarded the bronze. ”
When Professor Huang Yibo said this, Lin Yumai suddenly remembered the Yin soldiers who borrowed the Tao in front of the bronze giant gate, and now that he thinks about it, it may not be the Yin soldiers who borrowed the Dao, but the craftsmen and soldiers who were martyred back then, no wonder there are soldiers and ordinary people in the whole team.
"Then didn't the Wusun Kingdom perish later, so what's the point of building this bronze giant gate. Little Kiki also joined in with great interest.
"Of course it is meaningful, I don't know if it is the role of the real bronze giant gate, or the bronze giant gate changed the fortunes of the Wusun Kingdom, in the next thousand years, the Wusun Kingdom became the largest country in the Western Regions, and it has ruled for nearly three hundred years. Professor Huang Yibo retorted.
"In that case, this bronze gate is really useful. Lin Yumai said.
"So what the hell is the bronze gate for? Kiki asked.
"I don't know, that's why I said, the bronze giant gate is the most valuable archaeological information in Wusun, if you can find it, it will shock the world, you must know that a nearly 100-meter-high bronze giant gate is enough to shock history and the world's archaeological community, which is why every year explorers and archaeologists from all over the world will come to the Lop Nur Sea of Death to find traces of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, once you find a mystery to solve it is already shocking enough. Professor Huang Yibo explained enthusiastically.
Lin Yumai glanced at each other and did not continue to ask.
And Lin Yumai himself also knew that especially the Bagua Bronze Mirror, which seemed to be left by the Feng Shui master of the Western Han Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, he was secretly shocked in his heart, because an extremely terrifying existence was sealed in the Bagua Bronze Mirror, thinking about it, the Feng Shui master must be a ghost hunter with extremely high cultivation.
Of course, it may also be other professions or masters or the like, in short, the practice is against the sky, otherwise how can such a terrifying existence be sealed in the Bagua Bronze Mirror.
Thinking of this, Lin Yumai prefers that the bronze gate has the ability to go back in time, not to turn back time of things around them, but to let people see some things that have happened in the past, maybe they can predict the future.
And what Lin Yumai saw in the bronze giant gate was the scene that happened in Fengshui Village twenty years ago, he saw his own mother, and also saw his grandfather when he was young, it seemed that everything happened before the war between the human world and the ghost world.
To this day, he is very puzzled about his mother's identity, and from his unwilling to look back eyes, he sees his mother's deep reluctance and helplessness and despair of having to go, as if she is carrying an amazing secret.
Since seeing that picture, Lin Yumai always had an intuition in his heart that his mother was not dead, she was still alive in this world, living somewhere.
Night gradually fell, and the night of the desert was as cold as ice and snow, and the desert under the moonlight turned a silver-gray color.
And just when everyone was asleep, the mercenary captain Tong Qiang suddenly opened his eyes and tiptoed to wake up the mercenaries beside him.
There were ten mercenaries in total, each of them wearing long knives and guns, and their faces were fierce, and they were all brave and skilled frontier warriors.
However, these people live a hard life, in order to earn some employment fees, they are willing to be a team of mercenaries of archaeologists and venture into the desert, and how can that little remuneration feed them, but there is no way, they can only work hard.
But in this desert desert, there is a team of young people who wear gold and silver, beautiful women and reserves, they are either rich or expensive, as if they have come to the desert for vacation, and their jewelry, clothing, mobile phones and finances are all comparable to the cost of their employment for this trip.
Just imagine, a group of little dolls entered the desert without knowing the height of the sky, and the mercenaries were strong and strong, how could they not be blushing, and in addition to the fact that their physiology could not be vented for more than a month, they saw two peerless and beautiful women in the uninhabited land, how could they not have evil thoughts.
In such a place, even if someone is killed, there is no way to find out, because no police will come to this place of death.
The mercenaries are really poor, and these young people in front of them can make them make a windfall, how can they not make them feel evil.
Go to your sister's mercenaries, go to your sister's archaeological team, if Lao Tzu robs these people, will he still be your bodyguards?
In the night, the mercenary captain Tong Qiang's eyes were extremely fierce, and he ordered his subordinates with gestures to carefully walk towards the area where Lin Yumai and them were resting.
The bright scimitar, the loaded gun, and the only sound of breathing revealed the mercenary's true form.
Tong Qiang was the first to approach Rao Qi and Bai Lishan, and he knew that in order to control this young team, he had to control the women and children as soon as possible, so that they could not be helpless.
People who can go to the desert land and go to the sea of death must have some special skills, and he can't guarantee that there are no powerful tasks among these young people, but he knows that if he controls women and children, no matter how great his ability is, he must surrender.
Tong Qiang immediately dodged close to Bai Lishan and Rao Qi, and the gun and scimitar were directly on their necks.
Rao Qi, Bai Lishan, and Xiao Qiqi immediately shouted and screamed when they sensed the danger, making a very frightened appearance.
The woman's scream immediately alarmed the others, including the archaeological team.
And all the people in Lin Yumai's team were threatened with guns and knives by mercenaries.
"Tong Qiang, what are you doing?"
After Lin Dong woke up, he was stunned, and after seeing the situation clearly, he scolded angrily.
Lin Yumai and the others did not make any resistance, and let them be dragged by the mercenaries, looking a little panicked.
"Grass, you are mercenaries, you are clearly bandits. The fat man Luo Hao scolded.
"Shut up, shut up obediently if you don't want to die, there's nothing to do with you here, say one more thing, Lao Tzu will smash your head." Tong Qiang grabbed Rao Qi with one hand and pointed a gun at the fat man with the other.
"Captain Tong, what are you doing, have you forgotten that they also provided us with food and water, without them, we would have died in this desert a long time ago. Professor Huang Yibo said earnestly.
Tong Qiang's eyes flickered, but he soon showed a ruthless look: "Bad old man, I've had enough of you, if it weren't for the government's arrangement, do you think Lao Tzu would be willing to do this drudgery with you, for my brother, I almost died with you in this desert, just for a few dollars?"
