His accent was mixed with the unique accent of ethnic minorities, and every word he said made me frown and carefully translate in silence.

I knew he was doing it for my own good, too, the strange taxi driver, who had obviously met many tourists or experts who had gone there for adventure.

But these people either retreated, or finally disappeared completely into the narrow mountain col, and even disappeared from the county town.

In the face of his concern, I couldn't help but thank him a few times, and when I finally arrived in the remote county, I gave him dozens of dollars to express my gratitude.

When I got out of the car, I even started to doubt my own eyes, or maybe those people were hearsay.

Although the county town in front of me is deserted and the transportation is somewhat underdeveloped, the narrow area is very prosperous.

Although many of the old customs and buildings have been preserved, they have also housed more new things.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of transportation, it is estimated that it would have become a well-known tourist attraction at home and abroad.

Living alone in a hotel on the side of the road, I don't know why, but after being in this small county, I was a little no longer in a hurry to find the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yoro.

Underneath this small apartment is a restaurant that is bustling with people every day and doesn't close until late at night.

I carefully calculated the money in my hand, and after deducting the transportation expenses after entering the mountain, I might be able to eat a few rich meals.

The owner of the tavern was a woman in her thirties, with her mouth full of unintelligible dialects and a simple smile on her face, which made everyone who entered the store irresistible.

After just a few days of getting along, I gradually began to learn from her the secrets of the ancient kingdom of Yelang and the county seat.

When she saw that I had begun to inquire about this, she told me to find an old man who was staying in the apartment upstairs the next day.

She said that she knew very little, but the strange old man was the one who had actually entered the mountains, and was also a member of the expedition that had searched for the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yelang.

After listening to the words of the hotel proprietress, I not only felt a little itchy in my heart, but I simply bought some *** and gifts before it was dark, and couldn't help but visit this old man who had lived in the apartment for a long time.

Unexpectedly, this old man was actually very kind, and it seemed that it had been a long time since a young man had spoken to him.

I could only pretend to be *** salesman and come to his room, but after a few small talks, I revealed my clue again.

"I don't think you're here to sell medicine."

His voice made me feel a little embarrassed for a moment, and simply told the truth, I am also a member of the ancient country of Yelang and want to go on an adventure.

I want to see if this mysterious ancient country, which was once known as the disappeared Loulan, is as magical as it is on the Internet and in legends.

He couldn't help but sigh, maybe it was because he still had eyes, or maybe he couldn't help but muttered to himself when he saw my broken arm.

"You young people are always so ignorant of the sky, you always think that you live in an era where there are no cows, snakes, ghosts and gods, and you yearn for those new and curious things."

"Back then, I was just like you, I wanted to unlock the secrets of the ancient kingdom with a lot of blood, but taboos are taboos."

"There are some things that must not be touched, or they will really cause trouble."

I saw that the old man in front of me was getting more and more frightening, and I couldn't help but feel nervous, and asked about his own past.

Finally, I learned that the old man in front of me was really a member of the national expedition team, responsible for investigating the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yelang.

But since entering the mountain, strange things have happened frequently to the expedition, and even seven or eight people have died in less than six days.

I couldn't help but ask why I should have chosen to retreat when there were casualties in the group at the beginning, and why I continued to stay in the mountains.

The old man's voice was very crisp, because since the first night they entered the mountain, they had already found the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yelang, but they could not escape no matter what.

It seems that I have encountered a mysterious ghost hitting the wall, and there are traces and remains of the ancient country everywhere, but I can't find the intersection out of the mountain.

Later, they found a stone tablet in the ruins of the ancient country, which was clearly marked with many ancient characters.

After being translated by the expedition team, the content inside is even more bizarre and incredible.

It turns out that the ancient kingdom of Yelang appeared in ancient times for nearly two or three hundred years, but it mysteriously disappeared when it was at its most prosperous.

First, the whole country was ordered to be closed, and then all the people who came and went gradually became scarce, and finally an ancient country disappeared completely, leaving only a few faint remnants.

After years of erosion, now even the remnants can no longer be found.

The content on the stele is not limited to this, it also says that the king of this ancient country actually worshiped Taoism, although Taoism was a newly born religion during the Warring States Period.

However, it is claimed to have the art of immortality, which can refine the elixir for the king.

And the king of this ancient country has always been obsessed with the essence of Taoism, dreaming of finding a way to ascend to immortality.

It wasn't until later that an old man came to the ancient kingdom of Yelang, who was very kind, and not only taught this king many Taoisms, but also taught him many techniques of mechanism.

The king had a feeling in his heart, and actually put on a Taoist robe himself, and refined the elixir on a stormy and thunderous night.

But he didn't expect that when he took it himself, after refining the elixir by himself, it actually mutated, and four pairs of eyes were born on his face.

All the people were frightened when they saw this, but soon there was a sign that they were about to become immortals, and the king of the ancient kingdom of Yelang called himself the Eight-Eyed Heavenly Venerable.

In the end, he wanted to take all the people of the country to soar throughout the country, until the mysterious ancient kingdom disappeared little by little, and no one knew where the king and his people went.

After listening to the words of the old man in front of me, I couldn't help but feel a little creepy, I didn't expect this mysterious disappeared ancient country to hide such a secret.

The old man rubbed his temples as he said that, and he told me that it was because he had a disagreement with the rest of the group.

In the end, he chose to leave the team alone to find a way out, and finally escaped from the mountains after many difficulties and dangers.

Unexpectedly, a year has passed in the outside world, which makes him a little unbelievable, and his unkempt hair and beard seem to prove all this.

He was afraid that the remaining team members would have some accidents in the mountains, so he immediately ran to the county to call for support regardless of his previous suspicions.

The armed forces and spontaneously organized villagers numbered in the hundreds, but after searching the mountains, they found no trace.

The remains of the few surviving expedition members and the deceased disappeared as if the world had evaporated, and there was no trace of the stone tablet and the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Yelang.

For this matter, the above even sent a psychiatrist and police to investigate, after all, this matter is too strange.

After interrogating him for a few days, he finally came to the conclusion that he might have had some kind of hallucination due to the accidental consumption of wild fruits in the mountains and the depression of the surrounding environment.

The police also ruled out other possibilities of intentional homicide, but he was dismissed because of this incident.

From that day on, the old man in front of him began to settle in the small county town, persuading every young expedition team who wanted to go into the mountains to find the traces of the ancient kingdom of Yelang not to take risks easily.
