Somewhere on the earth, is a barren and inhabited desert, look at the blue sky and only the yellow sand flying in the sky, blue and yellow constitute the vast scene of this desert, the whirlwind on the desert constantly rolls up the yellow sand and throws it to the ground, just like the yellow smoke rises on the flat ground, and it runs on the desert, the heat wave seems to be a burning fire, people are in the middle of it and immediately sweat profusely, the heat is spared, there is a feeling of being in the sauna. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

On a sand dune in the middle of this desert, there are about 20 tents that are neatly placed here, in one of the tents full of various books, an old man in his 70s is lying on the table, the old man is holding a magnifying glass and is looking at the map on the table intently, after a long time, the old man straightened up with great effort, a look of helplessness and loss, the old man said to himself after a long sigh: "Hey! Could it be that this time I am in the wrong place? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden bustling sound of people outside the tent, and many people were shouting for joy, and the old man's expression changed slightly, as if he had a premonition.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the curtain of the tent to be opened by a pair of big thick hands, and a middle-aged man with a sturdy body and a dark body hurriedly ran in.

"Peng. Peng.. Professor Peng, I found it! We found it," the middle-aged man gasped for breath because he was running too fast.

"Is Lao Chen real! Take me there! ”

The old man, who was called Professor Peng by Lao Chen, couldn't wait to leave the table, and walked to the middle-aged man's side at a speed that did not match his age, and took the middle-aged man's hand and was about to walk out.

"It was the first to be discovered by Xiao Wang's team this morning, Xiao Wang and a member of their team lost the military shovel last night, and then when this person returned to look for it, he actually found a few pieces of wood carving fragments, so early in the morning they immediately organized personnel to excavate, and after 3 hours of excavation, they finally found the ancient city under the desert. Now they are still excavating, and it is estimated that they will be able to see the whole picture of the ancient city in a few hours, and it seems that our efforts for so many years have not been in vain. Lao Chen said excitedly.

Ancient Loulan, a lost ancient city that exists in legends, many archaeologists have been looking for traces of this ancient city for many years, until March 1990, the Swede Hedin announced the discovery of the ancient city of Loulan for the first time, but his discovery has attracted many archaeologists to question, the most authoritative of which is the well-known archaeologist Professor Peng.

After years of research on various books at home and abroad, Professor Peng concluded that the ancient city of Loulan discovered by Professor Hedin of Sweden was nothing more than a disguised pseudo-city, and the real ancient city of Loulan should still be hidden in history.

In order to verify his point of view, Professor Peng's search for the ancient city of Loulan has reached the point of obsession, and it took a lifetime of energy to find the real ancient city of Loulan, the emperor paid off, and finally let him get an ancient book by chance, from this ancient book he found an important clue that recorded the location of the ancient city of Loulan, according to the clue he finally determined the archaeological location on the sand dunes in front of him, but after nearly 3 years of excavation they found nothing, Just when the archaeological team was about to run out of funds and had to give up excavation, the discovery was finally made, and the mystery of Guloulan was about to be revealed.

The middle-aged man and Professor Peng rode a camel to the excavation site, looking at the ancient city in front of him, Professor Peng was excited, and the ancient city of Loulan, which had appeared countless times in his dream, appeared in front of them at a glance.

The entire ancient city is surrounded by two closely connected ring walls, each rammed with clay and red wicker, each with a radius of about 330 meters, and the two connected rings form a horizontal "∞" symbol. In the center of the two rings, a huge humanoid statue stands, and the two statues stand at each other, as if they are a couple looking at each other with affection.

"Professor Peng, you're here!" A young man with glasses saw Professor Peng coming to the scene and hurriedly rushed over.

"Xiao Wang! How's the excavation progressing now, and can you enter the ancient city? Professor Peng couldn't wait to ask the young man surnamed Wang.

"It's coming! We found a gap in the ring wall on the left, as long as we remove the stones from the road near the gap, we can enter the ancient city! ”

"Good! Speed up your progress and be sure to enter the ancient city before it gets dark! ”

"Professor, don't worry! I've transferred all of my squad here, and your old man's lifelong wish will come true soon! ”

"Good, good!!" Professor Peng said a few good things in a row. I couldn't hide the excitement and excitement in my heart at all.

Seeing that it was still early, Old Chen Lisuo stepped off the camel, and then helped Professor Peng down, and the two of them just stood and waited for the news of the excavation team.

An hour later.

Xiao Wang ran in front of them again and said excitedly to the two: "Professor! The road is opened, and you two can enter the ancient city after me! ”

Professor Peng couldn't bear it for a long time, and when he heard the news, he suddenly shook off Lao Chen's hand, and followed Xiao Wang by himself, trembling and walking, Lao Chen hurriedly followed, and the three of them didn't say anything all the way, and after a while, they entered the ancient city through the gap in the ring wall on the left.

The buildings in the ancient city are almost all buried by quicksand, there are traces of the ancient canal from northwest to southeast obliquely running through the whole city, it can be vaguely seen that the courtyard wall of the residential area is made of reeds into bundles or wicker woven together and then plastered with clay, the city is full of wooden houses, poplar pillars, the doors and windows of the houses are still clearly distinguishable, there is an octagonal domed adobe stupa in the northeast of the canal, which should be the stupa of the residents of Guloulan to worship the Buddha.

The three of them walked under the majestic statue and looked up to analyze the appearance of the statue, but due to the perennial invasion of the yellow sand, the statue had already become unrecognizable.

"Where are we going!" Professor Peng seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly pointed behind the statue.

Behind the statue, you can faintly see a strange building half-buried in yellow sand, this building is different from other buildings in the ancient city, it is all made of earth blocks, and the visible part buried above the yellow sand shows the shape of a pyramid, about 3 meters high, which seems to be the residence of the ruler of Guloulan.

They came to the earthen building, and after a laborious search, the three finally found a wooden gate on the east side of the pyramid, and the three pushed the door into the building.

“!”

“!”

“!”

As soon as they entered the building, the three of them were stunned by the scene in front of them at the same time, and stopped at the same time.

The interior of the building is unusually bright, unlike ordinary earthen buildings, the walls, corridors and even the ceiling in this building are composed of transparent materials similar to glass, and there is a dazzling orange crystal hanging on the ceiling, which should be the source of light in the building. But what shocked them the most was that the corridor beneath their feet was out of sight, which meant that the actual space of the building was much larger than what could be seen from the outside.

"Professor Peng! This is.... This is.... "Xiao Wang is a young man who is more anxious, so he was the first to call out.

"Don't panic! Keep walking down this corridor! Professor Peng, who has rich archaeological experience, said to everyone steadily.

Xiao Wang and Lao Chen glanced at each other, and had to continue to help Professor Peng walk towards the depths of the corridor, walking for about an hour, and finally came to the end of the corridor just when they were almost exhausted.

At the end of the corridor was a purple crystal door, about three meters high, carved with a symbol that even those of them who were experienced in archaeology could not read, and they walked into the door, looking up and down the door but finding no accessible.

"What a strange door, how do you get in this kind of door, do you have to push it open?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Wang pressed his hands on the door, and pushed the door with all his strength, but at this moment, a strange scene appeared, not only did the door not move, but a huge attraction appeared, and this gravitational force sucked his whole person directly into the door.

Seeing that Xiao Wang was sucked in by the door, Professor Peng and Lao Chen could only look at the incredible scene in front of them, this situation was something they could not have predicted anyway, just when they were confused and didn't know what to do, the purple door changed again, and a figure rushed out of the door.

"Professor, Lao Chen! Come on in! There's something inside that can shock the world! ”

The person who came out of the door was actually Xiao Wang, who had been sucked in just now, and then the two were stunned again, looking at each other motionlessly, Xiao Wang didn't have the time to care about the two, one took their hands in a stride, and pushed the two into the door.

Inside the door was a large square room, and a blue crystal casket with horizontal and vertical arrangements was the first thing they saw, and to these crystal coffins were many transparent pipes connected to them.

"It is! Is this a cemetery? Professor Peng stood there for about five minutes before finally coming to his senses.

"You're always walking to the coffin to take a look, and the thing I said shocked the world is inside!" Xiao Wang said happily.

Professor Peng and Lao Chen walked to the nearest crystal coffin, and when they saw the contents of the coffin, they immediately closed their mouths in surprise.

"The ancients! It's the Loulan ancients! This is indeed a discovery that shocked the world! Lao Chen shouted excitedly on the side.

After about half an hour, the three people groped all over the room, but they didn't find anything except these crystal coffins, they counted, there were a total of 128 coffins in the room, after a while, Professor Peng seemed to have a flash of inspiration and found something, he immediately took out a blank piece of paper, and drew all the positions of these coffins, he paced back and forth in the room while carefully studying the blank paper, and suddenly froze in place.

"What's wrong! Professor"

Seeing the professor's strange appearance, Lao Chen also walked over and looked at the blank paper, but when he saw the blank paper, he immediately appeared with the same surprised look as Professor Peng.

"Ghost"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

(On June 17, 1980, Professor Peng disappeared, leaving only a note: "I'm going east to find a well, Peng.") ”)
