Chapter Eighty-Six: Loulan Civilization and Lop Nur

(Thanks to the domineering little dragon dragon and the side of the light for rewarding 1oo starting coins!) The first shift on the 21st. The second watch was still early in the morning. It's getting late, and it's getting worse, ahhhh Ask for collection recommendations. ๏ผ‰

The stars and the moon are hidden. The darkest hour before dawn.

In the forest, only the smoke from Qi Shaoxing's mouth came out of the stars, and even the gold-inlaid jade concentric lock faded its brilliance in the darkness.

There are dozens of cigarette butts on the ground, some of which have been extinguished, and some are still slightly burning.

After Qi Shaoxing finished saying the last word, he looked at the void in front of him and didn't speak again for a long time.

Zhuang Yi did not urge. It is said that before dying, a person will flash a marquee in front of his eyes, and every scene is a fragment of life.

Joys. Greed, hatred, hatred, hatred.

It is a very emotional thing to recall decades of life, not to mention the death of Qi Shaoxing's father and mother, the separation of his wife, and the destruction of his family.

In the first half of the last century, this was a microcosm of the whole of China.

Zhuang Yi couldn't help but sigh and feel relieved: I am fortunate to live in an era of peace.

In addition to those strong family and country love and hatred, Qi Shaoxing's memories also have too much information that Zhuang Yi wants to delve into, especially the mystery of Qi Shaoxing and Tojo Tokio's immortality.

Qi Shaoxing and Tojo Tokio fell into the deep gap of Lop Nur during the war, and floated in the underground river for several years or even decades, it stands to reason that they have died countless times, but instead of dying, the two have the ability to be immortal, whether this confirms the sentence "Death is life, life is death, death and life are adjacent, and life and death depend on each other".

At least in the life of Cheng dรน, Qi Shaoxing is closer to the answer that Zhuang Yi wants than Qi Wanxin.

However, after Qi Shaoxing looked at Zhuang Yi's question, he shook his head.

"It's not that I won't die, it's just that I won't die of old age. I don't think it's because I died once and then came back to life, but because it had something to do with the underground river. โ€

Qi Shaoxing recalled that he fell behind Tojo Tokio at that time. The deep gap was a completely bottomless pit, with no bottom down there. He tried to climb the deep crevasse countless times during this time, but all failed, as did Tojo Tokio below.

The deep chasm is a small mouth for the vast Lop Nur, but it is a behemoth for the tiny human being, carrying darkness, like the slightly open mouth of a behemoth underground.

I don't know how long it fell, he faintly heard the sound of flowing water, and looked down, an underground dark river was at his feet, and the river was shrouded in a layer of purple mist, which was very weird.

The rock walls around the dark river also have their own bright purple light, and the purple light rock wall is a large section higher than the underground dark river, which proves that this underground dark river used to have abundant water, but over the years, the water level has dropped, and the current state will appear.

He was expecting the river to be deep enough for him to cushion the fall, when Tojo Tokio's screams could be heard below. Tojo struggled in the water, as if something was biting him, and as soon as the replicants fell into the river, they immediately turned into mud and dry bones.

Before he could react, he also fell into the river, which was bitterly cold, colder than the winter ice.

As soon as he touched the river, something in the water went crazy into his skin, it felt like Qi energy entering his body, but those things were not Qi energy, they were fierce and tyrannical, burrowing skin and piercing flesh. He didn't hold on for almost a minute before he sank into the water, and in a daze, he saw Tojo Tokio next to him also sinking.

Soon he fainted, and when he woke up, he was lying on a shoal, and his lower body was still soaked in the dark river that was bubbling with purple gas, and the water was no longer biting, but became warm, with a little warmth.

The head was no longer a deep slit like a narrow slit, but a towering underground cave dome, the cave was so wide and large that he could not see the head or tail when lying on the shallows.

The entire rock wall of the underground cave glows with purple light, and in ancient times, it was mostly a large blister of underground rivers passing through.

However, if you look closely, you can see that the rock wall is not naturally formed, although the dark river has been impacting for a long time and has its own sleekness, but you can still clearly see the traces of artificial masonry.

This huge underground river cave like a giant beast was built by man!

The dome above glowed with purple light, towering as high as the starry sky. He really couldn't imagine how the ancients could have accomplished such a huge project! Who has such a magnificent handwriting and such a high level of architectural skills?!

He walked along the shoals for a long time, intermittently blocked by the dark river, but when he jumped into the river again, there was no longer the pain of burrowing flesh, and after a while he found a stone stairway leading up above the rock face.

Climbing up the stone staircase, after walking in the dark stratum for an unknown amount of time, a bright light finally appeared in front of his eyes, not a strange color, but natural light, the light of the sun.

On the stone staircase, it leads to an ancient city.

The ancient city is only ruined, dead wood and yellow sand, and it seems that it has been deserted for thousands of years. Outside the city was the wild and boundless Gobi, and he walked out of the ruins of the ancient city for about two days and nights before finally meeting a dozen people.

Those people were amazed to see him, and surprised that he was actually exploring alone in the mysterious and desolate city of Lop Nur. Only then did he know that he was still near Lop Nur, not far from the west bank of Lop Nur, where he and Tojo Tokio were fighting, but more than sixty years had passed!

Qi Shaoxing's shock at that time could not be fully described in words.

Those people told him that the west bank of Lop Nur was the territory of Loulan, an ancient civilization that had disappeared. The ancient city he came up to just now may be the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, and when he and Tojo Tokio fought more than 60 years ago, most of the ancient corpses that Tojo Tokio used Pisces jade pendant to pick up were Loulan ancient corpses.

There are traces of artificial masonry in the dark river channel with purple mist, and from the perspective of regional relations, it is very likely that the dark river channel was built by the ancient Loulan people!

Loulan civilization?!

Zhuang Yi felt that his head hurt a little: This is getting bigger and bigger, right!?

If that dark river is the so-called Fountain of Youth, which is related to the Loulan civilization, then why did the Loulan people, who have the secret of immortality, suddenly disappear in Lop Nur in the 4th century AD?

Zhuang Yi knocked his head with his hooves, and he suddenly remembered the widely circulated legends about Lop Nur on the Internet.

Lop Nur used to be the second largest inner 6 lakes in China, called Youze in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and there are many nicknames such as Peacock Sea and Puchang Sea. During the Han Dynasty, the Loulan Kingdom on the west bank of Lop Nur, as one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, was an important choke point on the Silk Road. However, this ancient country only existed on the stage of history for more than 800 years before it mysteriously disappeared.

The Lop Nur where it is located is known as the ear of the earth, because in the satellite aerial image, Lop Nur is very much like a person's ear, with ear holes, pinna, and earlobes, and it is also a "ear" that can only move, swinging between 39 degrees and 4o degrees north latitude and 4o degrees and 4o degrees and 41 degrees all year round. The weather in Lop Nur is abnormal, and the surface environment sometimes changes dramatically in a short period of time, but then it will return to its original state.

There are rumors on the Internet that in the fifties of the last century, a large number of mirror figures appeared in Lop Nur, and Lop Nur was selected as the shooting range for the atomic bomb. There are also rumors that the government/government chose this place to conduct nuclear tests in order to cover up some of the truths hidden in the depths of Lop Nur, and set up a military restricted area to prevent people from entering by mistake.

Now it seems that perhaps these rumors are true.
