Chapter 374: Exquisite, S-Class File (Text)
"Well, that's right!" Lady Na nodded.
"Before that, what about the file that was sealed fifteen years ago?" Xiao Lou continued to ask.
Lady Na shook her head: "This secret is still sitting in front of the red greatman's desk as an S-class file. I can only tell you a rough idea, but even my father has no permission to know the specific things. In 1896, a Swedish explorer led an expedition into the Taklamakan expedition, and he was the only one who made it out alive. He had lost all his sanity, but a few photographs and diaries from his camera revealed the secrets he had discovered in the Taklamakan Desert......"
"It's a huge ruin, and the buildings inside are still alive! Gold poured everywhere on the ground, countless precious stones were set in the walls, and the Englishman said that he felt the presence of God, who had given them so many things. ”
"That's probably the thing, I don't know who leaked this diary at the time, and it also caused a huge sensation in the country, and countless adventuring teams entered the Taklamakan Desert to find the gold ...... everywhere."
"This desolate land is full of all kinds of people, and this is perhaps the largest flow of people after the Western Regions sank under the yellow sand. Since this day, there have been countless rumors circulating here, such as someone finding gold, someone finding the abandoned city, or encountering various supernatural events. ”
"There is one of the most authentic versions of the time, that there were many people who got gold from this huge ruin, but all of the people who got it did not die well. This site is a cursed place, and once you take the contents, you will be saddled with a devil's curse! ”
Lady Na said in detail, and everyone listened to it with relish, but they didn't expect that there was such a story on this piece of yellow sand.
"Are the ruins you are talking about an exquisite ancient city?"
Professor Du trembled with excitement, and he stood up slowly and asked:
"The Ancient City of the Exquisite is a strong part of the culture of the Western Regions, a small city-state in western China during the Western Han Dynasty, located on an oasis on the banks of the Niya River. Jingjue country is mainly agricultural, and it is a necessary place on the Silk Road, where merchants gather, prosperous and rich. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jingjue Kingdom was annexed by the increasingly powerful Shanshan Kingdom. Later, it was controlled by the Wei and Jin dynasties. ”
"After the third century A.D., the Kingdom of Essence disappeared. It also has the name "Asian Heartland" - the deepest part of Asia. From another point of view, it can be called a bridge between the East and the West, and the most important section of the Silk Road. ”
The oases around the Taklamakan Desert - Ruoqiang, Jimo, Minfeng, Yutian, Celle, Hotan, Pishan, Shache, and Maigaiti - stop by stop, no matter which remote corner you go, you can hear the folk legends about the taste of the exquisite ancient city.
This is a once beautiful and rich country, even if it is short-lived, but it does not affect its status in the hearts of people.
There are some ancient stories of brave explorers who delved into it and obtained the treasures of the exquisite ancient city, similar to this kind of story that attracts groups of tomb robbers to enter it......
"That's right, it's the Exquisite Ancient City! Professor Du, you should know that at a certain time period, stories like this are all blocked. Then hundreds of bombs were carried out in the Taklamakan Desert, and although there were no atomic bombs, there were some powerful explosions. In those three years, the entire desert had almost become a dead field, and a pungent smell of gunpowder could be smelled in the places around Ruoqiang, Jimo, and Maigaiti. ”
Lady said softly.
"Quick...... Sue me for what is the reason! At that time, their group of archaeologists received an order to stop the research and dissemination of the culture of the Western Regions, which also became the biggest mystery in the hearts of their group of old workers.
"Actually, those legends are true, and the exquisite ancient city really exists. At a certain time and place, the Exquisite Ancient City was opened in the Taklamakan Desert......"
When he said this, Zhang Meng didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that Lady Na had skimmed his side intentionally or unintentionally.
Naturally, the person Lady Na looks at will not be herself and the fat man, because the two of them have no intersection with this place at all, and it can only be Ye Jiu!
Since then, there has been a steady stream of people who have come to explore, and some people have found treasures and brought them out. And then what happened next is something that you can never imagine, and it is also the most secret thing of the state. The high-level of our team, the people in the know are only limited to me and Uncle Wang, if it weren't for the fact that this operation involved the Exquisite Ancient City, I definitely don't have the authority to read these dusty materials, so please forgive me for having nothing to say. ”
Lady Na paused for a moment, and she continued: "This is the general beginning and end of this matter, the stakes are serious, I didn't tell you before, now I can only tell you, we are very likely to be dealing with a group of super intelligent creatures. What happened today may be repeated tomorrow, and if anyone withdraws, I'm in charge! ”
"Go! This is the best time to get to know the Exquisite Ancient Kingdom, and I am grateful to my ancestors for giving me this opportunity to witness the splendor of this Ancient Kingdom with my own eyes! ”
Professor Du's face was red, and there were even tears in his eyes.
Zhang Meng didn't understand the psychology of this old man, but he respected this old man, and he had his own inner pursuit, just like Zhang Shaohong was determined to climb the demon shrine at that time.
In Professor Du's research team, everyone was overjoyed, and it seemed that what was in front of them was not a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, but gold everywhere.
That kind of situation, Zhang Meng can't understand it, the fat man can't understand it, even Lady Na and they are a little stunned.
And most of the rest are some 'mercenaries' from the rivers and lakes, these people have come in the wind and waves, and every time they travel, they pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers. When they came this time, it was because the state gave them conditions that they couldn't refuse, and they naturally wouldn't leave at this time.
On the contrary, some people in the research institute who are not up to the bottom of the institute, and they can't know the core things, and they don't want to give their lives here, and the four people who proposed to leave.
