29 Lake Kurgur
Tangnu Ulianghai has been a Chinese territory since ancient times, and it was included in the Chinese territory during the Tang Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, it belonged to Lingbei Province and was called Yilanzhou; During the Qing Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of the Khalkha Mongol Zasaktu Khan, and was gradually occupied by Russia, and when it was established abroad, it incorporated most of the Tangnu Ulianghai into its own territory.
Mongolia's Khuvsgul province is also part of the Tangnu-Ulianghai Sea, and the source of its name, Khuvsgul Lake, is our destination this time. Anu did not store the treasure near Kobdo, but transported it there.
This is a very smart woman.
Kusugulgu Lake is near the northern border of present-day Mongolia and Russia, and there are two advantages to hiding treasures here: one is that this is the territory of Zasaktu Khan, which is equal to the territory of the newly occupied enemy, and no one would have imagined that she would hide her treasure here, and the most dangerous place is the safest; The second is that it is close to Tsarist Russia, and the treasures are placed here, which is convenient for transportation to Tsarist Russia, and it is much more convenient to buy weapons. And in case the situation changes, they can ask Tsarist Russia to send troops to control here, with such a large amount of wealth as bait, it is difficult for Tsarist Russia not to move.
If it weren't for the sharp turn of the war and the death of Anu in battle, the history of Dzungar might have been rewritten.
To go to Mongolia, we have two choices, one is to smuggle through Xinjiang, and the other is to go back to Beijing, apply for a visa, and fly there in a dignified manner.
We chose the latter because smuggling was too risky to be cost-effective.
The day after we returned to Beijing, we received an invitation from the Mongolian Association for the Promotion of Shamanic Cultural Exchange to participate in a commemorative event at Kusugulgu Lake in Mongolia. You don't have to ask, you know, it's all arranged in advance by the captain. With the invitation, it was easy to get another visa, and a week later, we boarded the plane to Ulaanbaatar.
This is Ma Ye's first time abroad, and to be honest, I am a little excited.
After the plane stabilized, I took off my blindfold and asked Shu Lan beside me, "Captain, are there also our people from Mongolia?" ”
"Hmm," she nodded.
"Not bad!" I said, "I thought that the power of my religion was only in China, but I didn't expect it to extend to Mongolia." ”
She glanced at me, "My teaching has lasted for thousands of years, and my disciples are widely spread all over the world, is this strange?" Besides, if no one responds to Mongolia when we arrive, just the four of us, we don't even understand Mongolian, what can we do? ”
"Then who will pick us up after we land?" I asked.
She glanced at me and smiled calmly, "You'll know when you get there." ”
I thought that we should be at least a Mongolian girl, but I didn't expect that after getting off the plane, it was a native Chinese old man who came to pick us up. The old man's name is Sun Weiyang, a well-known archaeology professor at a prestigious university in China, who is now lecturing in Mongolia.
"Shulan, welcome to Ulaanbaatar," Professor Sun smiled.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun, I'm sorry for your trouble", Shu Lan smiled, "This is our companion, this is Miao Yi, that's Zhao Sichen", and then she looked at me, "He's called Cheng Xiaoma." ”
Professor Sun nodded, "Okay, okay." They are all young and promising, and the future is terrifying. Come on, the car is outside, let's go. ”
Zhao Sichen and I walked behind with our luggage, he looked at the old man and pulled my arm, "Hey, do you think this old man is okay?" ”
"Since we arranged for him to pick us up, we should do it," I said.
Zhao Sichen shook his head, "He doesn't see much wizard's breath on him, he doesn't look like a master, and he has no bottom in his heart." ”
"He's a professor, who says he's a wizard?" I glanced at him, "Even if you are a disciple of the Three Gods Sect, you don't necessarily have to know witchcraft, right?" ”
"! If you don't know witchcraft, what kind of tritheistic disciple is you? He smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Wait, I'll try him when I get in the car." ”
I smiled slightly, Zhao Sichen's goods are going to be cheap again.
The old man didn't come alone, he also brought an assistant and drove a business car. After sending us to the hotel, he set up a banquet for us to catch the wind and wash the dust, and after drinking three glasses of wine, Zhao Zamao couldn't bear it.
"Professor Sun, come on, I'll give you a toast!" Miscellaneous raised his glass with a smile.
I saw two black shadows, one on the left and one on the right, instantly surrounding Professor Sun.
Professor Sun didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and stood up with a wine glass, "You four little guys take turns to toast, this is to get me drunk, hahaha......"
"Look at what you say," said Zafur with a respectful smile on his face, "they have all drunk it, and it is not missing my glass." ”
"Okay, the young man can talk", Professor Sun clinked his glass with him, "!" ”
When Zhao Sichen was drinking, his eyes never left Professor Sun, and his two ghost slaves jumped behind Professor Sun for a long time, but Professor Sun was not abnormal at all.
But just as he put down the wine glass and sat down, the two ghost slaves suddenly flashed back, one on each side, and held down Zhao Sichen's hands.
Zhao Sichen was startled, the two hands couldn't do it, and when he looked at it again, it was no longer his ghost slave, the black shadow turned into a red shadow, it was a very powerful blood girl.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome", Professor Sun greeted us, "Eat it while it's hot, it tastes different when it's cold...... Hey, Xiao Zhao, what are you doing in a daze? Pick up the chopsticks! ”
Zhao Zamao looked embarrassed and glared at me, "What are you doing?" ”
I was innocent and shrugged, "What didn't I do?" ”
"Take your ......" he looked at Shu Lan and Miao Yi and Professor Sun, and lowered his voice a little, "Get your blood sister-in-law away!" ”
"That's not mine", I only opened my mouth, didn't make a sound, glanced at him, and looked at Professor Sun next to me.
Professor Sun saw all this in his eyes, but he remained silent, just smiled and beckoned Miss Shulan to eat.
Zhao Sichen's face was flushed, but he wanted to save face, since he couldn't do it, he simply closed his eyes, and several more powerful ghost slaves were summoned by him in an instant, and they fought with those two blood girls in an instant.
The blood girl was pulled by the ghost slave, Zhao Sichen's hand could move, he breathed a sigh of relief, sandwiched a piece of mutton, and deliberately exaggerated smiled, "This mutton, it's delicious to look at!" ”
Before the mutton could be put in his mouth, as soon as he let go of his hand, the chopsticks and the mutton fell on the table, and another stronger blood girl appeared and grabbed his wrist.
"Hey!" Lao Zhao was angry, and he took out the token with his other hand and was about to recite a spell.
Shu Lan frowned, "Zhao Sichen, what are you doing?" ”
"Captain, I'm ......" Zhao Sichen looked at Professor Sun angrily, "He used his blood sister to fix me!" ”
"If you don't mess with Sun Lao, will Sun Lao teach you a lesson?" Shu Lan had a cold face, "Put away the token and apologize to Elder Sun!" ”
Miao Yi put down his chopsticks, "Zhao Sichen, don't make trouble, apologize." ”
I'm not the only one who has feelings, they all saw Zhao Sichen's tricks, but they didn't say it.
"I ......" Zhao Sichen was speechless.
Shu Lan turned to Professor Sun, "Elder Sun, I'm sorry, don't be like him. ”
"Hahaha......" Professor Sun smiled, "It's nothing, it's nothing, young man, it's normal." When I was his age, I was naughtier than him! With a wave of his hand, the blood girl suddenly let go of Zhao Sichen, but Zhao Zamao's strength suddenly lost control, and with a crisp sound, he gave himself a mouthful.
"Oh, Xiao Zhao, what are you doing here?" Professor Sun said, "You just want to play a joke on me, can I really be angry with you?" ”
Zhao Sichen was speechless, so he had to laugh, "Uh...... Don't be like me, it's just that I'm wrong, I owe, I'll toast you again, it's a reparation. Elder Sun, you adults are a lot, forgive me this child! ”
Professor Sun looked at him for a while, "Xiao Zhao, your father is Zhao Xianying?" ”
Zhao Sichen was stunned with his wine glass, "Yes, do you know him?" ”
Professor Sun smiled, "He is my own junior brother, and I am your own uncle!" Boy, do you still doubt that I don't know witchcraft? ”
Zhao Sichen knelt down with a puff, "Uncle Shi!" I was wrong! ”
We were all stunned for a moment, this grandson can make it come out, just kneel like this? But if you think about it carefully, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the nephew kneeling to the uncle.
This is Zhao Sichen, he made it special.
Professor Sun smiled and helped him up, "You are not like your father, he is more disciplined than you." Alright, let's sit down and eat. ”
"Thank you, uncle", Zhao Sichen had a lot of rules, "You sit." ”
After Professor Sun sat down, he looked at us and nodded, "Red Flame Hall is not simple, you four little guys are all powerful characters. Okay, the Deer Presbyterian Council chooses people, and the young people have a bright future. ”
We stood up together, "Thank you, Elder Sun!" ”
He motioned for us to sit down, "It's not early, you can rest for the night after eating." Early tomorrow morning, my assistant will take you to Lake Khuvsgul, which is not close, and after that, it will be up to you! ”
After eating, the three of us went back to the room early to rest, and Zhao Sichen pulled Sun Lao to chat for half the night. He said that this master couldn't afford to offend, and he had to be coaxed so that he could sleep peacefully, otherwise, if his father found out after returning to China, he would have to be beaten to death.
The tutor of the Zhao family is said to be particularly strict.
Professor Sun's assistant is a young man named Jiang Peng, who came to Mongolia with his uncle at the age of twelve or thirteen to work as a miner, and knows the customs of Mongolia very well.
Although Mongolia has been a country for decades, its economy is very underdeveloped. In its early years, the country was a vassal of the Soviet Union, similar to their colony, economically controlled by the Soviet Union, and culturally even used the Slavic alphabet. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mongolia gradually embarked on the road of independent development, but after all, the foundation is too thin and the population is too small, so the economic development is very slow.
Coming out of Ulaanbaatar, we headed straight to the northwest of Mongolia and, three days later, arrived at Lake Kurgul. This is a famous tourist area in Mongolia, known as the "Switzerland of Mongolia". Unlike the tourist areas in China, Mongolia is sparsely populated, with a combined population of only about 3 million, and nearly half of them live in Ulaanbaatar, so the population here is not large. It was not the first time Jiang Peng had come, he chose our place in a nomadic area in the western part of Lake Kurgul, and that night, we stayed at a herdsman's house.
The tent that I slept in for a few days now has a yurt to live in, and everyone is very content.
"Let's rest here for one night and recover our strength," Jiang Peng said, "The teacher asked me to bring you here and tell me what to do next, and listen to you." ”
Everyone's eyes were on me.
I looked at them, "What do I do?" Let's go eat first, sleep well and then tomorrow morning. ”
Shu Lan looked around at the others, "Pony, let's come out and have a few words." ”
I followed her outside the yurt and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"How far is that place from here?" She looked at me, "This Kurgul Lake is too big, we are halfway through our visa period, we must hurry." ”
I smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Captain, I know very well in my heart that the place where the treasure is hidden is not far from us......"
