Could a molten city, as unbelievable as it sounds, be engulfed by a volcanic eruption?

Everyone had a similar question in their hearts.

Xue Pu only said that this place is in the Tianshan Mountains, and there is no volcanic activity. It is not the same as Pompeii, which was built under a volcano during the Roman period and was swallowed up by volcanic eruptions.

According to Sakura Momoko, although Pompeii was engulfed by flames, the temperature of the volcanic ash sprayed out was not enough to liquefy the stones.

Of course, in terms of its current scale, this site is no less than Pompeii.

In order to get a glimpse of what is going on, the expedition team will continue to investigate, and the key to this trip is to find traces of Faklu.

So what does such a molten city have to do with the disappearance of Falklu?

There is a city buried under the loess, and the entire excavation may take decades, so Professor Jia has made marks on the ground and is waiting to report the results when he returns.

The discovery of the ancient city in the Western Regions will surely become a big news in the archaeological world.

Suddenly, I heard a shout from Zhang Fei Wang Xiaodong: "Oh, boss, look at what this is!" ”

Everyone looked for the sound, and the skeleton of a camel appeared under the rock wall of the sheltered high wall where Wang Xiaodong was.

The bones are coarse, structurally intact, and the flesh on them has disappeared cleanly, leaving Sensen's bones behind.

Beneath the bones, there was a stone slab.

The long wind blew away, and the yellow sand was filled.

The little fox took the first step, dusted off the yellow sand on the stone slab in front of everyone, and also used "volley stars" to take something.

Everyone saw strange Chinese characters written in regular script on the stone slabs.

Such Chinese characters are exactly the same as those on the Facru manuscript.

Everyone was overjoyed, it seemed that this place must have something to do with Fakeru, and if they could get clues about Fakeru, it would be a worthwhile trip. Xue Pu looked at the words on it, and was stunned, he didn't know it.

Among the people present, only Lu Jiayi could understand the encrypted text.

Sakura Momoko didn't know, and immediately asked, "Xue Sang, do you know what your maternal great-grandfather wrote on it?" ”

Xue Pu felt a little embarrassed in his heart, he and Lu Jiayi had been in contact for a long time, and he was gradually able to figure out some rules between the lines of these encrypted words, so he said: "I can only know some of these encrypted words, and I need to transcribe them and decipher them slowly." ”

After that, he picked up the notebook and copied down the strange words on it stroke by stroke.

And Lu Jiayi, who can read the text directly, has a look of doubt on his face.

Looking at the snow ridge, the sky is blue and the clouds are white, the sunset shines on the snow ridge, a warm and moist glow.

Xue Pu said: "This mountain is majestic, it is a big dragon vein. The city was selected at the dragon vein, and he learned the art of Feng Shui in the Central Plains. You might as well walk in the direction of the foothills, and you might find something. ”

Everyone also nodded: "Yes, this journey is mostly dry sand, and I walked into a glacial oasis on the hillside, and the climate can be more humid." ”

The expedition team then stepped up and climbed the mountain.

Seeing the oasis, the scientific expedition team lost their sleepiness along the way, walked like flying, and unconsciously walked up the hillside.

Gradually, the desert faded, and soon a tender green grassland appeared in front of me.

Summer is the flood season of the Tianshan Mountains, when the glaciers melt and the meadows are so full of stagnant water that you can squeeze the water out of your shoes with one foot.

Fortunately, due to the thick grass cover, there is no risk of sinking.

These camels, drinking glacial water and eating fat pasture grass on the mountain road, are not to mention how happy.

But what is strange is that there is no creature in such a beautiful scenery of water and soil except for the scientific expedition team.

Since there are no creatures, it means that this place is also safe, and the expedition team decided to camp in the grassland in the mountains to rest, and rest for a day to continue exploration.

The weather is slightly cool at night, the snow-capped mountains are as high as the sky, and the night sky and stars are like a long train all over the sky.

The four bodyguards under Sakura Momoko are on duty in turn, and it is difficult for Xue Pu and his party to whisper.

Among the four bodyguards, Sakura Momoko will often consult Oyama Beli's opinion, which shows that his status should be the highest.

Xue Pu took the opportunity to cast Zhou Tianqimen, temporarily trapped the people of the Sakura family who were on duty at night, and immediately got up and found it, Little Fox, Lu Jiayi, and Chen Haopeng.

The four of them had a meeting, because Lu Jiayi was in the slate of the Molten City and got the news about his great-grandfather, Falklu. And the little fox found something else.

In Xue Pu's game, it was still pitch black, and the four of them sat casually on the ground and sat in the four palaces of Likan Zhendu, north, south, east and west.

Xue Pu faced south, the little fox faced north, Lu Jiayi sat in the west, and Chen Haopeng sat in the earthquake position.

Lu Jiayi said: "Brother Pu, Brother Chen, little fox, the content on today's slate is a list. ”

"List?"

"Not bad! It is the list of great-grandfathers' expedition team, and their expedition team has a total of thirteen people. They are, Falklu, Qin Jiuyi, Mr. Kang, Ryūji Yamamoto, Hiroshi Shimabukuro and several others, both foreign and domestic, and these people are on the missing list except for Mr. Qin. But there is one person whose name is very suspicious. ”

Xue Pu took Lu Jiayi's notebook and looked at the list of other personnel, only to see that he marked a very long name with a red pen "Sakura Sora Inosuke".

"Sakura?" Xue Pu couldn't help but be suspicious, thinking of Sakura Momoko who lived in the same tent as Zhou Yunfeng.

Chen Haopeng asked: "Could it be the ancestor of Sakura Peach!" ”

At this time, the little fox reached out and handed over a half-charred piece of parchment, and stuffed it to Xue Pu with a big grin: "Let me show you, I quietly found it from the sand under the slate." ”

"Under the slate?" Xue Pu's eyes flickered, took the parchment, and looked at the words on it that were already unclear, yellowed and half burned, he was suddenly stunned and said: "This is Spitfire Luowen, how can I recognize it?" ”

"You don't recognize it, but Jiayi does." The little fox threw a wink and turned his weight to Lu Jiayi.

Lu Jia hurriedly said: "What is written on this is information about the "Zoroastrianism". ”

Zoroastrianism was the most influential religion in the Middle East before the birth of Christianity, the state religion of the ancient Persian Empire, and the religion of Central Asia and other places. It is the source of Manichaeism, and in China it is called "祆 (xiān) religion".

Because the religion worships fire and believes in light, it is also called Fire Zoroastrianism and Zoroastrianism in China.

Zoroastrianism is closely related to Manichaeism, also known as Mingjiao, and although there are differences, they are often confused in China.

Speaking of this, Xue Pu suddenly thought like a horse, only to hear Chen Haopeng say: "Old Xue, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about fire, the bricks and tiles of the ancient city are melted because of fire, and the parchment in your hand is also half burned because of fire, and the natives say that Hell is because of fire, and the Fengsui in Fengsui Village is fire, and this Zoroastrianism is also fire. Does it matter? Xue Pu touched his chin and said slowly.
