There is only one sun in the sky, but Zhang Mai feels like he is in the ten-day era in ancient legends, the scorching sun is like steaming all the water in his body, and his boots are stepping on the yellow sand, which is also smacking and making uncomfortable sounds.
Even the wind is dry, there is no moisture factor in the air, this is the deepest part of the Eurasian continent, east and west, north and south from the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean are thousands of miles away, the sea vapor cloud can not reach here at all, the only thing that can bring moisture to this land is the river flowing down from the ancient glacier. But it's a desert.
After two days of separation from his fellow travelers and getting lost in the desert, Zhang Mai began to regret the trip.
Good to die, the beautiful mountains and rivers of Suzhou and Hangzhou, the four seasons of Yunnan, the ancient sites of Xi'an do not go, Shanghai and Beijing are even more tired of big cities, but I really want to see the desert, look at the yellow sand, look at the snow mountains, look at the oasis, look at the endless prairie, ride the world's unparalleled sweat and blood BMW, taste the famous Silk Road, so save enough money and holidays, starting from Lanzhou, all the way to Central Asia outside the country, just saw the desert, grassland, snow-capped mountains, Gobi, is also open-minded, and the world is wide, but now Zhang Mai regrets it to death.
It is really dangerous to come to such a country where the tourism industry is not well developed and self-guided.
Shake the kettle and suck the last drop into your mouth.
"Damn, if I don't meet anyone again, I'm just afraid I'm going to die here."
With a snap, the foot seemed to kick something, and at first glance, it turned out to be a pile of dead human bones!
"Phew! Bad luck! No, we have to go! Otherwise, I'd have died here. β
Quicken your pace, and watch the compass go eastward - he has been walking in this direction from the moment he finds himself lost, and when he gets lost in the desert, he thinks that it is better to go in one direction than to run like a fly without a head. But after walking for a long time, I saw the skeleton again.
"Oops, is the compass broken?"
When he saw this pile of white bones for the third time, Zhang Mai threw the compass irritably: "Unscrupulous profiteer! This life-saving thing doesn't make the quality a little better. β
Since the day I got lost, my phone has not been able to get through.
At this moment, Shari's compass suddenly spun again, faster than a fan, as if the surrounding magnetic field had changed.
"Evil Sect...... Scary! β
But at this time, Zhang Mai had no strength, just sat next to the white bones, trying to find a way to get out of the predicament in front of him, his head was blank, and he glanced at the pile of dry bones out of the corner of his eye, this poor man is now rotten to the point that there is no meat, it seems that he has been dead for an unknown amount of time, there is a special bag next to the skeleton, the material is a little strange to the touch, the mouth of the bag is not fastened with a zipper but with a button, Zhang Mai is curious, carefully opened the bag, and a few things fell out of it, one is a scroll, It's a bit like the holy decree I saw on TV, the shaft bone is like jade, without a single flaw, one is a fish-shaped token, and the other is a dagger!
The handle of the dagger turned out to be made of silver, with a unicorn head tattooed, and it was about to be pulled out, and it was cold and light, and it didn't seem to be a mortal thing. When I opened the scroll, it was a vertical layout of traditional characters! Although the traditional Chinese characters look difficult, they are not unrecognizable, but when you read the whole text, they are all in the tone of the ancient central court.
God, is it really a holy decree?
Zhang Mai's literary skills are average, the rhetoric of those holy decrees looks a little difficult, and some words are not even very recognizable, but after reading it twice, I still understand a general idea, and I know that this holy decree is commending a person named Guo Xin, saying that he has made meritorious contributions to defending the country and the land in times of crisis.
Anxi Daduhu? Four Towns Festival Envoy? Promoted to seven seniorities?
Zhang Mai's historical knowledge is ordinary, he memorized history textbooks to cope with exams in middle school, and after so many years, most of them have been returned to the teacher, and some of them can't understand these official titles and terms, but he still knows that in ancient times, he seemed to be a provincial governor-level and a senior official of the commander of a military region. As for Anxi, literally, it should be the administrative region of the state in the west, and with the place where this holy decree was discovered, it may be the yamen who managed the Western Regions in ancient times.
Look at the year name marked by the holy decree, it is actually "the second year of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty"!
"Tang Dynasty!"
Zhang Mai suddenly felt a little dry mouth.
It was a distant and dreamlike time. As for the specific time of the second year of construction, he does not know.
"If that's true, this guy has been lying here for more than a thousand years?" Looking at the pile of bones, he suddenly shuddered, "I won't die here like him, and wait for another unlucky ghost to find me more than a thousand years later......"
These three things in his hand, if they are true, they are all antiques, and now the antique market is good, take it back to China, I am afraid that it can be sold for ten or eighty thousand, and if you are lucky, it may be millions, but now Zhang Mai does not want a net worth of tens of millions, he just needs a pot of water......
His eyes were a little confused, and he saw a battle in the distance, oh no, it should be a massacre: a group of hideous-looking foreigners, riding horses and swords, slaughtering a group of people dressed in ancient Chinese clothing.
There is no sound, only images, like a cinematic mime......
Is it a hallucination? Or a mirage?
The Chinese in the video kept running for evasion, and some brave men struggled to resist, but many old and weak women and children still could not escape the fast knives of foreigners.
Blood spurted out of the throat, and children were cut in the stomach with a scimitar, and their intestines were dragged out!
This is not a movie!
That kind of bloody scene was by no means a stunt, there was no sound, but from the expressions of these old and weak women and children, Zhang Mai seemed to hear their wails and moans! The foreigners were laughing as they rode their horses and trampled on the old and weak who were not yet dead on the ground......
Although he was already in a desperate situation, although he knew that everything in front of him was just an image, Zhang Mai was still angry, and almost wanted to rush forward, but he had no strength.
"What the hell is this, is it from hundreds of years ago to the present? Can a mirage preserve images for so long? β
In a flash of a knife, a young girl slashes down a slaughterer and rescues a little boy. Behind him, a squad of ancient Chinese cavalry rushed out.
"Well done!" Zhang Mai praised it, but because of thirst, he couldn't make a sound, and then he saw that the girl's face was clearer, although her face was stained with sand and blood, but her facial features were very standard, and she was a beautiful cutie less than twenty years old.
Zhang Mai is getting weaker and weaker, his body is very tired, very tired, and it seems that it is difficult to even open his eyelids. In his daze, he seemed to see a camel approaching in the distance, and a young woman on the camel.
"Is it another hallucination?"
The camel came closer, and the young woman under the camel jumped down and approached herself, and her face became clearer......
Yes! It turned out to be the ancient beautiful girl in the mirage just now!
She came out of the mirage?
No, this should also be a mirage.
But looking closer, she is really beautiful, heroic, without the slightest pretentiousness, in the city, in the office building, Zhang Maike has never seen a girl with this temperament.
The girl squatted down, and Zhang Mai reached out to touch the girl's face before she diedβeven though she knew that the hand would pass through the image and not touch anything.
His person really didn't have much strength, and before he touched the face of the "image", his hand was so weak that he actually put it on the other party's chest!
Fluffy ......
Press it again and pinch it......
It's still soft, it seems to be warm, and it feels very cool......
Entity?
Isn't this a phantom?
The girl was originally investigating Zhang Mai's situation, but before he died, this guy even stretched out his salty pig hand to himself! The two willow-like eyebrows were raised, and reaching out was a slap!
Smack-
That's a lot of strength......
With a buzzing of his head, Zhang Mai finally fainted.
