Xia Ruobing only came to his senses at this time, and stepped into this former camp for the first time with apprehension, although the two rows of tents had collapsed, covered with wild grass and mud, but Xia Ruobing could imagine how the tents here were neatly arranged back then, leaning against the side of the trees, there was also a collapsed work shed, the green canvas of the work shed has been integrated with nature, and there is nothing unusual if you don't look closely.

"Come on, come on...... Everybody help clean it up. Mr. Min sensed the change in Xia Ruobing's mood and greeted.

Several people worked together to clean up the grass and trees near the work shed, although the canvas can withstand the invasion of the years, but it can be seen that this time is too old after all, under the erosion of the local harsh nature, when Mr. Min tried to uncover it as a whole, the canvas was broken as soon as he used force, and he had no choice but to clean up a small piece by piece, the wood that supported the work shed had long been rotted into mud, but left a little trace on the ground, Sherpa took out his camera and shot at some details to get more information.

After a rough cleanup, it can be seen that the camp is very professionally and neatly built, six tents are divided into two rows, and the work shed forms a zigzag arrangement, but even the most tested aluminum alloy tent brackets have been corroded to the point that only white traces remain, some tents are covered with wild grass, and it took a lot of effort to clear out of the grass.

"We've got to speed it up." Wang Xingguo felt that the cleaning speed was a little slow, and the sun unconsciously deviated a little to the west.

Things were cleaned out one by one, tents, sleeping bags, camping lights, and even food packaging, generators, instruments, Xia Ruobing stood in front of this pile of things, and imagined with difficulty the scene where his parents worked here, when did they get here? How did you set up this camp? How long have they been working? How does it work? What was found? How did it disappear?

"It's all cleaned up, there is no trace of bones, judging from the lodging of the tent, it collapsed naturally, and there is no trace of being attacked." Wang Xingguo said softly on the side, looked at the time, and reminded, "Time is running out, we need to hurry." ”

"Hmm......" Xia Ruobing heard the reminder, came back to his senses, and asked, "There are no traces of bones at all, teeth?" Don't have any mandibles? ”

"No...... They certainly didn't go missing in the tent. Wang Xingguo replied with certainty. All the tents are cleaned with great care, most of the tents have their zipper doors closed, if there are corpses inside, even if the bones are corroded, but the hardest teeth and jaws will not be corroded off, Wang Xingguo cleaned it carefully.

"What about the surroundings? Will it be around the camp? Xia Ruobing was still a little unwilling, maybe the expedition members were killed near the camp.

"Hmm...... Even if we are around, there is no way to search for it for so long, we don't have time. Wang Xingguo pointed to the surrounding environment, in order to find traces of bones in such an environment, it is necessary to search inch by inch, it is obvious that it is impossible to rely on these few people and this little time.

"There's a storage box here." Chen Badai found a rusty box next to a tent, and looked through the broken place, which contained partitions and some test tubes contaminated with mud and rainwater.

Without waiting for Wang Xingguo and the others to speak, Chen Badai moved the preservation box out of the half-buried ground, but as soon as he used force, there was a bang, and all the boxes were scattered, and the contents fell to the ground.

Chen Badai awkwardly carried the two handles and stained one hand with rust.

This is supposed to be the box that the expedition team kept here after taking samples, and when the Sherpa arrived, the contents were scattered all over the ground, but a cube-like thing wrapped in a red plastic bag caught his attention.

Sherpa picked up this thing, brushed off the pollutants on the surface, pinched it, like the feel of paper, the owner wrapped it very carefully in a plastic bag before his death, this plastic bag is relatively thick, and put it in the preservation box, which allowed it to escape the invasion of 20 years of bad weather.

Sherpa carefully opened the plastic bag, which contained a notebook, although the paper was a little yellowed and a little wet with moisture, but it was still very intact.

Sherpa carefully flipped open the cover, saw a name clearly written on the title page, and thought he had misread it, so he blinked vigorously, looked closely, and was convinced that he was not mistaken.

"Ruobing! This is my aunt's note! Sherpa shouted.

Xia Ruobing was stunned for a moment, hurriedly ran to the Sherpa side, and saw a photo on the title page at a glance, which was a photo of herself and her parents when she was a child, and a name was written under the photo: Cheng Ruoqing, is her mother's name!

Mr. Min also rushed over, looking at the notebook in Sherpa in a daze, feeling a little annoyed, why didn't he have more time to search last time, there must be important records in this notebook.

Xia Ruobing took the notebook with a trembling hand, looked at the group photo with her eyes, choked back tears, she hadn't opened it for a long time, Mr. Min was a little anxious: "Xia Ruobing, open it and take a look?" ”

Xia Ruobing carefully opened the notebook, sure enough, it was a record of the information of his parents studying Loulan, looking at the date, it was recorded when they organized the Sino-Japanese expedition, which recorded in detail some suggestions of the expedition members of the two countries, and also attached a list of some equipment, and then turned over, it was the situation of their investigation into the villages near the Coffin Mountain, which was similar to the situation of Xia Ruobing's investigation, although in the name of the expedition, those villagers were very uncooperative, dissuading them from disturbing the undead of the Coffin Mountain, In the notes, Xia Ruobing's mother also recorded some legends during the investigation, including the ghost eye and the Yin soldier aisle, after the record of the ghost eye, a long list of question marks were played, and behind the record of the Yin soldier aisle, several nouns were written: the ghost of Eki Mountain, the ghost of the haunted house, and the conductive effect of hematite, all of which were highlighted with three underlines.

"What does that mean?" Chen Badai looked at these nouns and didn't understand what they meant.

"Flip it back!" Mr. Min is full of hope, this is the precious record left by the expedition 20 years ago, and there will definitely be about Loulan.

Sure enough, although the expedition team had an extremely difficult time investigating nearby, and they were blocked from entering the Ghost Gate Pass for most of the month, a legend that had never been heard of was recorded in a notebook, Xia Ruobing's mother wrote that she found a folklorist who had studied Coffin Mountain a long time ago, and this scholar told her that the residents near Coffin Mountain had migrated from the north a long time ago, and they seemed to have a special affection for the mountain. But their customs are very different from those of the people nearby, and they rarely interact with the people nearby, as for the story of the Great Creation of the Yama Palace, this folklorist must have made it up by later generations, but as for why they would carry the dead to the Ghost Gate, as well as the legend of the Yin soldiers' passage, this folklorist did not understand, but they used a strange script, but now no one knows the meaning of those words, according to the folklorist's inference, it is some kind of ritual spell.

Turning a page back, there are several pages of Lu Wen and Chinese comparison table, Xia Ruobing's mother clearly said that the charm in the mouth of this folklorist is Loulan's disappeared text Lu Wen! And it is very likely that the Loulan wizard family migrated here, but how the wizard's inheritance was cut off, and where the wizard's mausoleum went has not yet been figured out, she judged according to Loulan's funeral customs, the coffin mountain is very likely to be the wizard's mausoleum.

In the following records, Xia Ruobing's mother recorded in detail how to negotiate with the patriarch of Chengzi Village through the local ZF, perhaps under official pressure, the patriarch finally compromised, but he refused to let any villager lead the way as a guide, because no one had ever entered the Ghost Gate Pass, and the expedition team came to the Ghost Gate Pass from the Yin Yang Road, entered the large funnel of the Coffin Mountain, and saw countless shrouds, and they set up a camp here.

Flipping back further, the notes recorded that they saw countless ghost eyes in the grass at night, and heard some strange sounds, perhaps the sound of the wind blowing through the grass, but there was no wind at that time, and there were bursts of "click" sound in the grass from time to time, the expedition team stayed awake all night, guarding the camp, everyone was very tired, the weather was not good, there was a trace of strange smell in the air, the team members were dizzy and drowsy to varying degrees, Xia Ruobing's father Xia Yan decided to hold on for another day, Unable to find a clue, they withdrew from Coffin Hill, but the next morning, one of the team members disappeared and they had to disperse to find it, someone saw the body moving in the mist, and the team members became excited, and they went to track down the body, they thought the body would lead them to the entrance of the wizard's mausoleum! Xia Ruobing's mother felt faintly uneasy, recorded these records, wrapped them in a plastic bag, carefully put them in the preservation box, and then followed the team members to track down the body.

The notebook was halfway over, and the record came to an abrupt end, and there was no more record after that, and it seemed that they had not returned since they had gone to track down the body, so it was no wonder that all the tents were well preserved, and the camp had not been invaded.

Xia Ruobing couldn't help but feel sad, what happened here 20 years ago? Where did so many members of the expedition go? How did they go missing? Did they really find that entrance? And that crazy Japanese explorer, how did he get out of Coffin Mountain?

"It's almost time." Wang Xingguo reminded again that the entire camp had been carefully cleaned up, and it was unlikely that he would get anything more.

Mr. Min remembered the notebook in his backpack, but he couldn't help but say nothing.

"Look for it again one last time, please, look for it again!" Xia Ruobing raised her head, Wang Xingguo saw her eyes full of tears, this request could not be refused.

"Okay, find another half an hour."

Chen Badai continued to search the edge of the camp, walking farther and farther, and by the time Wang Xingguo called him, he was already a hundred meters away from the center of the camp unconsciously.

"It's okay, I'll see if I find anything here." Hearing Wang Xingguo call him, Chen Badai responded loudly.

"Come back soon," Wang Xingguo shouted...... "I'm going to evacuate." ”

"So fast?" Chen Badai muttered, time is really bent and extended, when he climbed the grass just now, it passed so slowly, why did it take so long in the blink of an eye now?

Chen Badai turned around, preparing to return to the army, and when his eyes turned, he was stunned and fixed there.

"Wang Xingguo, look over there! Over there! Chen Badai fixed his eyes and made sure that the glimpse just now was not wrong, and his voice was uncontrollable for a while, and the sound of the dry horn rushed into everyone's ears piercingly.

"What's the situation?" Wang Xingguo was lowering his head to sort out his backpack, and when he heard this dry call, he quickly raised his head.

"Over there, over there! Corpse...... Corpse! Chen Badai waved his hands to attract everyone's attention, followed the direction of Chen Badai's finger, and sure enough, the corpse that disappeared just now appeared again.

"Lao Tzu, look at you and still run!" After successfully attracting everyone's attention, Chen Badai jumped over the obstacle in the grass in a few steps and chased after him.
