Legend has it that a long, long time ago, this place was called Chaoshui, the Peacock River, the Tarim River, and the Kaidu River crisscrossed it, with few birds and many ghosts. The Queen Mother of the West used to hunt these ghosts here for alchemy, or for feasting and eating.

One day, it was the beginning of summer, the Queen Mother of the West took the soldiers through a certain area of water of the troubled river, suddenly lightning and thunder, there were a number of waterspouts on the water surface of hundreds of meters high, the water in the river was all sucked dry, at this moment there was a black hole about 100 zhang wide at the bottom of the water, the hole first emitted a strange light, made a deafening sound of metal and stone rubbing, as the sound became louder and louder, a black sandstorm blew around, the Queen Mother of the West was shocked when she saw this, so she ordered the soldiers to slaughter and sacrifice, and put the accompanying camels and cattle and sheep into the hole.

Later, the lightning and thunder stopped, the sandstorm receded, and the water was calm, but there were many strange corpses floating on the water. The corpses were dressed in ornate tinsel clothes, their skin was white and blue, their eyes were black and their eyes were incomparably black, they had no noses, and their teeth were sharp.

The Queen Mother of the West then ordered the pill pharmacist to seal the corpses and return to the court. Later, after the Dan Medicine Master returned, he refined these corpses into pills and paid tribute to the Queen Mother of the West. After a few years, the Queen Mother of the West has not aged, but has become more beautiful. But the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West are also getting bigger and bigger, darker and darker, weird and terrifying. But there will always be a time when the pill is finished, but the ambition of immortality is endless.

So the Queen Mother of the West sent an army of soldiers and alchemists to the strange waters again to look for clues. But this army explores the underwater underworld. But folklore has it that after this army entered the netherworld, it never returned, and there was no trace, and later the Queen Mother of the West had sent a list many times, and the whereabouts of this army were searched throughout the country, but they were not found. In the end, she also aged rapidly on a rainy night with thunder and lightning. When the maid found her the next morning, she was like a dried corpse, her skin was shriveled and wrinkled, her bones were protruding, her eyes were wide and dark, and her mouth was slightly open, as if she had seen something to say, but unfortunately she was dead. The clues of the underground underworld also disappeared with the Queen Mother of the West.

Later, after hundreds of years passed, in the Han Dynasty, that is, the king of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, Wei Tu Qi wrote to Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, saying, "Fort Milan, this place thunders and dragons, sees a hundred zhang of the netherworld, and is suspected of being a fairyland. "Hence the ancient city of Milan.

Just when everyone was listening and fascinated, Liu Xilai "giggled" and smirked, echoing in the dome, scaring everyone with goosebumps. "Could it be that the elixir eaten by the Queen Mother of the West is a laxative? Sometimes when I can't pull out the poop when I eat wowotou, I will eat 1-2 crotons, which is called a smooth and smooth. But sometimes I pull too much, and I will be dehydrated and crepe. Liu Xilai said again.

"The Queen Mother of the West has eaten the elixir to rejuvenate herself, Liu Xilai, you have eaten croton, and you will be a thousand miles away at most." Luo Gang was about to laugh.

"Don't be funny, if it's just such a legend, it won't be so scary." Abramaimaiti said anxiously, this is the first half of the story, and the second half is weird.

According to legend, Liu Fuling, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, was the youngest son of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who ascended the throne as an emperor at the age of eight and died at the age of twenty-one. Moreover, the edict of the ancient city of Milan was not the original intention of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, but was handled by Huo Guang, the first assistant who commanded national affairs. After Huo Guang sent troops to reclaim the ancient city of Milan, he and Tu Qi, the king of Loulan Kingdom, searched and estimated that they found a Dan Palace left by the alchemist, and found some legends about the underground underworld on the murals of the Dan Palace. When the Loulan army reappeared in the desert, it was 10 years later, they brought back all kinds of rare beasts for the king of Loulan, and brought back a round black stone, saying, "Through this gem, you can see the future and the void, and you can talk to God." ”

So Wei Tuqi built a domed castle as a temple to spy into the void, and from then on, he began his wanton exploration journey without asking about the affairs of the court. Until one day, the Han people in Guloulan and even the soldiers in Milan all disappeared out of thin air overnight, but the steaming food in the pot on their stove did not move, as if time stood still, and after that, Loulan also became a ghost country.

"The soul of Yu Tu Qi roams the Dome Castle Temple every day, and that temple is where we now test the bonfire!" Maimaiti said in a low voice.

"Wei Tuqi, why are you standing behind Mai Maiti!" Liu Xilai shouted loudly.

Maimaiti was so frightened that his body trembled, and immediately made a rolling dragon movement to the left, alertly felt out the military bayonet on his waist and half-squatted, made a silent gesture towards Liu Xilai, slowly turned around, and before he turned his head, he felt a strong kick on his buttocks, and fell on his stomach. I saw Luo Gang standing behind him and laughing, and said: "It's been thousands of years, even if Wei Tuqi wanders here, he will be bored, he has already changed places to play fresh, and the fool has only lived here for thousands of years, and he can't wait for a bird, let alone a person." Put away the military thorns, what should I do if I have no nerves, and hurt the innocent? ”

"Squad leader, I think this place is very evil, we still have to be vigilant!" Abramaimati said helplessly.

"Liu Xilai, you are in charge of vigilance. The rest of the people sorted out their equipment and supplies, corrected them in place, and when the sandstorm stopped, we set off immediately. Luo Gang announced loudly.

"Squad leader, then I'll take a flashlight to patrol this dome? Maybe you can even meet King Loulan and set up a dragon gate array with him! Liu Xilai asked Luo Gang with a hippie smile.

"If you really see King Loulan, I think you kid will be scared to the core, let alone Sichuan, you can't speak human words. Go ahead, don't touch anything here, bring torches, save some batteries, at critical moments, the torch is still a defensive weapon when encountering poisonous insects, snakes and ants. Luo Gang instructed solemnly and handed Liu Xilai a torch.

Liu Xilai was just about to turn around and leave, but was called by Luo Gang again, "Liu Xilai, I'll give you 10 minutes, once there is any situation, immediately blow the whistle or shout, don't shoot unless you have to." ”

With the beating of the flame on the torch, Liu Xilai gradually walked towards the center of the dome with the torch, reflecting the flickering light, he saw a huge round stone platform piled up in the center of the dome, the stone platform is half a meter high, there are the same stone steps on both sides, and the platform is about 3-5 meters in diameter; On the stone platform, there was a person as many as a black shadow, motionless, as if a person was kneeling on the ground, with his hands raised above his head, holding an object.

Liu Xilai was bold enough, took out the military thorn on his waist and put it against his chest, held the torch in his other hand, bent on his waist, and slowly touched the stone platform. When he walked to a place one or two meters away from the stone platform, he saw clearly that the figure on the stone platform was a stone carved figurine, and the figurine was holding a black round stone the size of a billiard ball. "This ancient person also likes to play billiards, and he also makes a black 8 to worship in the temple?" Liu Xilai muttered in his heart. When Liu Xilai walked up the steps, he found that the ground of the stone platform was engraved with a seal character, which was arranged clockwise from the left side to the right direction of the entrance of the dome castle, but the direction of the entrance was not marked with the seal character. Liu Xilai was full of questions, "This Loulan King is also a talent, and he paid so much attention to time in that era, and he also built such a big sundial?" But the sundials are all twelve earthly branches, how can anyone use ten heavenly stems as a scale, how can you use two less scales? ”

The more curious a person is, the more impatient he becomes. Liu Xilai simply walked onto the stage and observed the figurines in detail. From the back, the figurine is carved from a single stone, kneeling on one knee and holding a black ball, with wide clothes and large sleeves, similar to Hanfu. When Liu Xilai walked to the front of the figurines, he was stunned, what kind of human face is this, the whole goblin! The face of this thing is an oval goose egg, somewhat similar to the head of a snake or lizard, the eyes are as large as a billiard ball, and they are arranged on the edges of the cheeks, there is no nose, only two nostrils are seen in the center of the face, and the strangest mouth is like a zipper sewn into an egg that extends directly under the eyes.

"Oh good! Is this a thing? Could it be a flying immortal? Squad leader, come and see, this is a new discovery. I think this is the elixir introduction in Maimaiti's story! Liu Xilai shouted loudly towards the campfire.

"You kid still have this life? Maimaiti, go! Let's check it out! Luo Gang got up and pulled Mai Maiti and walked towards the light and shadow of the torch together. The distance from the entrance to the stone platform is not very far, about 25-30 meters, and it takes more than ten seconds to walk. When the two came to the stone platform, Luo Gang walked up first, while Mai Maiti was a little afraid and did not go up to stand under the platform. At this time, I heard Luo Gang say with a smile: "This Lou Lan Wang is very good at playing, make a zodiac feng shui ornament here?" The king of Loulan belongs to the snake, huh? But this ornament is too ugly to carve, and it is okay to ward off evil spirits, and I think it's okay to attract wealth and enter the treasure! Abramaimaiti, come up and see if it is the legendary character of your ancestors, who is holding a black round stone the size of a billiard ball! ”

"Squad leader, are you sure you want me to show it? The legend is not a picture book, I don't know if it is! I don't think I'm going to go up! Abramaimaiti said tremblingly.

"Abramaimaiti, I now order you to come up to the stage and make sure it's not! Hurry up, sloppy! Luo Gang changed his commanding tone.

"Okay, but I can't say for sure!" Maimaiti said helplessly, striding up the steps.

Under the light of Liu Xilai's torches, Abramaimaiti carefully looked at the stone figurines, and said with a suspicious face: "It is very likely that this is according to the legend, the strange corpse collected by the Queen Mother of the West by the chaotic river back then, and carved the shape. Legend has it that they have fair blue skin, black eyes, no noses, and sharp teeth. I think this eight achievements are! ”

"According to what you say, the black stone in the hand of this snake spirit sick brother is the equipment or magic weapon used by the legendary Loulan Wang Wei Tu Qi to explore the void?" Liu Xilai smiled, and then reached out to touch the black ball in the stone figurine's hand.

"Don't move!" Seeing this, Luo Gang immediately called out to Liu Xilai and said, "You kid don't want to die?" If this thing is poisonous, or if there is a mechanism, we will all fold it here! You don't have to think about it, this thing has not been lost for thousands of years, either this thing can't be taken, or it just can't be taken away, is there a third option? ”

"Come, give me the torches, and stay there! Let me see! Luo Gang took Liu Xilai's torch and looked up and down around the black ball, and found that an extremely thin silk thread was connected from the bottom of the ball to the top of the stone figurine's head. If it weren't for the fact that this silk thread was a little reflective, it would be difficult for ordinary people to notice. "So no one has been able to take away or touch the mechanism of this silk thread for a long time, which means that this silk thread is very strong, and the toughness is better than that of steel wire, is this the legendary silk on a drizzly day!" Luo Gang thought to himself.

Just as Luo Gang was about to take the torch and get closer to the black ball, something strange happened. When the light of the torch jumps close to one end of the black ball, a green light is projected from the other end of the black ball, but because the light source of the torch is not very stable, the green light and shadow projected from the other end are very blurry, and it is not clear at all. "Can this black ball really peek into the world of the void?" Luo Gang also began to mumble in his heart.

At the same time, Liu Xilai and Abramaimaiti, who were standing on the stone platform, both saw this scene and couldn't help but be surprised in their hearts, this was the first time they had seen such a strange scene when they were so big. Abramaimaiti whispered to Luo Gang in a trembling voice: "Squad leader, this thing is very evil, I think we should not touch it, wait for the sandstorm to stop, get out of here quickly!" ”

Luo Gang didn't pay attention to the Arab Maimaiti, just took out the flashlight in the crossbody bag, twisted the lampshade part of the flashlight with his hand, focused the light source of the flashlight in a dot about 10 cm in size, and then carefully shone the black ball in the hand of the stone figurine.
