The Sea of Death, Lop Nur, originates from the Qilian Mountains. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info spread south from Dunhuang, the right city of Daqing Mansion. Until Gaochang and the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Its north is dependent on the remaining veins of the Tianshan Mountains. It is bordered by the foot of Altun Mountain North Road and the northeast corner of Kuncang Mountain Range in the south. It is connected to Dunhuang in the east. The most famous desert in the country of Xilianjin.

The Sea of Death is full of strangely shaped sand dunes. Standing in the plains, it can reach hundreds of zhang high. The desert winds blew these walls of sand up. The height can be increased several times.

and it will fall like a great mountain. It's terrifying. Lop Porri is dry all year round.

It almost never rains. Under such conditions.

Very few plants and animals survive. Hence the name "Sea of Death". From the steppe into Lop Nur. It was already the beginning of the Silk Road.

But after three days of continuous travel in the vast desert, as far as the eye can see, the yellow sand is still flying all over the sky. I can't see the sun, moon and stars, and I can't see a trace of green.

If it weren't for Bai Yunxuan always remembering the direction and constantly walking in the right direction, Shen Qiwu would almost have wondered if he was going the wrong way.

"Can this road really go to Helan Mountain?" Shen Qiwu wiped the sweat on his forehead, a little out of breath.

Bai Yunxuan finally found the herbs to heal the external injuries, and after applying it to Shen Qiwu, he was alive again within a few days, which had to make Shen Qiwu begin to admire Bai Yunxuan's medical skills.

The yellow sand was scorching hot. They both sweated profusely, and both of them took off their coats and walked in the desert.

Bai Yunxuan wiped the beads of sweat rolling on his forehead, opened the water bladder made of wolf skin and licked it, and carefully hung the precious water bladder on his waist.

"Bai Yunxuan, is this what Silk Road you are talking about-" Shen Qiwu glanced around, the wind was whistling, the yellow sand was smiling, although it was already nightfall, the heat emitted by the yellow sand was still scorching the soles of his feet like fire, and his soaked clothes were tightly attached to his back, which was extremely uncomfortable.

Walking in the desert is no better than the plains, in order to avoid the scorching sun and the consumption of physical strength and water for no reason, both of them are day and night, stop to rest when the sun is at its peak, and set off when the sun sets, and stay overnight to walk.

Rao was like this, and the power of the desert sea was far beyond their imagination, and they had to stop and rest for a while after walking for more than an hour.

"There is no silk to be seen. and there was no way out. This name is too unworthy of the name! Shen Qiwu's face turned red, and he sighed and asked with doubts.

"It's true that this is called the Silk Road, but this Silk Road is not the road paved with silk everywhere as you imagined-" Bai Yunxuan smiled and shook his head: "To put it simply, this Silk Road is a trade and communication route for the people of the Jin Kingdom to another continent. Because the silk of the Jin Kingdom and the Great Zhou is smooth and beautiful, and everyone loves it. Merchants who traveled between other continents preferred to hunch silk on horseback and sell it to the other side of the world, hence the beautiful name of the road, the Silk Road. ”

Shen Qiwu glanced at him, thinking that this knowledge was not unlearned. It's just that she didn't expect that there would be so many similarities between this era and the ancient times in her own time and space.

Bai Yunxuan and Shen Qiwu were tired of walking, so they simply didn't leave, and sat on the ground, Shen Qiwu said with a smile: "Since you are resting, then rest completely." You can also sit down, just listen to you swing the dragon gate array! ”

Shen Qiwu's buttocks hit the ground, but he sighed and jumped up with grinning. Bai Yunxuan smiled: "You are really bold, you dare to sit on the ground with such hot sand." ”

"It's not about the sand, it's about something on the ground!" Shen Qiwu scolded hatefully, and kicked Fang Cai to the place where he sat down.

There was a soft thud, and the eyes of both men widened at the same time, and their faces were full of horror.

Shen Qiwu didn't lie, there was really something under the sand. Bai Yunxuan squatted down, didn't care about the hot hands, and hurriedly picked up the sand, Shen Qiwu stared at him intently.

The layers of silver sand were peeled away, and it turned out to be a shriveled stump. This stump originally had the waist thickness of two strong men, but it lost its moisture and gradually withered, shrinking only a few palms square, deflated like a basket! "Poplar trees?" Shen Qiwu and Bai Yunxuan shouted out in unison, as if they were showing off...... Shen Qiwu slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand side by side with Bai Yunxuan, and slowly stroked the old trunk.

Bai Yunxuan let out a long sigh: "This poplar tree is the most tenacious tree species in the world. There were ancestors in my Great Zhou Dynasty who praised him for being alive and not dying for a thousand years, dying without falling for a thousand years, and dying, but not withering for a thousand years, which means that his vitality is tenacious and unrivaled. ”

"I know it without you saying it!" Shen Qiwu gently rubbed the trunk of the decayed tree, shook his head and sighed slightly: "Life without death, death without falling, pouring without withering." Three thousand years of life, but no match for this desert-like sea of death, pitiful, lamentable. ”

"It's okay, this poplar could have been used as medicine, but it has become a dry appearance now." Bai Yunxuan shook his head and sighed, although his injuries had eased, he still couldn't use his martial arts, so he could only sigh.

After saying a few words, Bai Yunxuan moved the stump of the poplar tree ground, and suddenly saw a flash of white light, and Shen Qiwu exclaimed "ah".

hugged Bai Yunxuan's arm tightly and looked up. Under the stump. , there was an eerie white bone exposed.

Shen Qiwu's face turned pale with fright, and he hugged Bai Yunxuan's arm, not daring to let go for a moment. Women are really strange animals, they can kill people without blinking, but they can also be in front of ants and cockroaches without looking up.

Bai Yunxuan sighed, and he dug up the stump completely, but saw that it was densely packed underneath, and there were white bones everywhere.

The white bones are crisscrossed and the shape is messy. There are horse bones, and there are human bones. After preliminary counting, there were at least twenty or thirty people, and I don't know how many years had passed. "Bai Yunxuan, what's this, how could anyone die here?!"

Although Shen Qiwu killed a lot of wolves, in this boundless desert, he suddenly saw this pile of gloomy white bones, but he was terrified.

Bai Yunxuan sighed long: "The Silk Road is not only beautiful silk, but also craggy white bones. These are our signposts. ”

This is a caravan on the Silk Road, as evidenced by dozens of silk scrolls that are almost rotten, probably due to the lack of food and grass, and finally died in the desert. Next to the white bones, there were still some remnants of the ground with scattered corners, which seemed to be dry sheepskins, and Shen Qiwu did not say a word, and sorted them out carefully.

"There's a word on it?" Bai Yunxuan glanced at it and let out a little surprised.

"This is the text of the former Qi Kingdom, right?" Bai Yunxuan and Shen Qiwu looked at it together.

"I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born. Butterflies go to find flowers, and perch on fragrant grass at night. (To be continued.) )
