Chapter 205: Loulan
"The treasures of the world are numerous, but it depends on whether the person who uses them has the strength." Zhou Zhilan said, and looked at the old watch on his wrist.
Thanks to this watch, she was able to use the role of one of its only treasures.
"That's... Can it really bring the dead back to life? The fairy queen's tone was a little apprehensive.
"That's right, as long as there are countless treasures hidden underneath, it will naturally be able to fulfill your wishes, whether it was in the past or in the future." Zhou Zhilan's eyes were full of longing.
As long as she completes her task, she may be able to make a wish to be with the Pavilion Master forever.
The fairy queen's eyes lit up like a charming peach blossom, and her eyes were full of determination.
"Then how should we get to Loulan?" She urged eagerly that finding the world's treasures had become her first goal.
Zhou Zhilan pressed her hands to the ground, and then slowly closed her eyes.
"As long as we find the Sand Spring, we can enter the real Loulan Ancient City, which is located underground." Ning Qianyan smiled beside him, then looked at Zhou Zhilan and said, "And Zhou Zhilan is looking for this kind of good player." ”
"Three Qing Law Citation!" Zhou Zhilan made a decision, and then a small blue transparent snake slowly condensed on the sand.
After circling the ground, the small transparent snake found its target and headed in one direction.
"Keep up."
After Zhou Zhilan finished speaking, the three of them followed behind the little snake and began to run wildly.
The three of them walked in the flying sand, and if they were ordinary people, they needed to wrap their heads in cloth in this kind of flying sand, so as to prevent flying sand from entering their mouths and then accumulating in their lungs.
But the three of them didn't need to, and as soon as the flying sand approached their bodies, they were cut off by something like a plastic film.
As the transparent snake stopped, it spun around in the sand, and then turned into a cloud of blue gas and returned to Zhou Zhilan's body.
"The sand spring has been found." Zhou Zhilan said, and then walked to the position of the little snake.
The seemingly stable sand suddenly collapsed, turning into quicksand and slowly pulling Zhou Zhilan underground.
Just as the fairy queen made a move and was about to rescue Zhou Zhilan, Ning Qianyan also stood over and said by the way, "Let's go, find the treasure as soon as possible, and you can return to your life as soon as possible." ”
Seeing that the two of them were gradually sucked into the sand by the quicksand, but they didn't panic at all, the fairy queen gritted her teeth and stepped into the quicksand.
In less than a minute, the three of them completely disappeared into the sand.
……
A day later.
Shen Fei and Zhao Xinmiao got off in a neighboring city, then bought an off-road vehicle, found a tour guide who specialized in going to Loulan, and went to the Loulan monuments together.
The tour guide's name is Liu Tao, who is fifty today, and knows very well the development of the Loulan historic sites.
"Haha, brother, are you traveling as a couple?" Liu Tao drove the car and chatted with Shen Fei when he had nothing to do.
Seeing the two sitting together, he had a question.
Shen Fei smiled and shook his head, but Zhao Xinmiao blushed with shame.
In the more feudal Miao people in northern Xinjiang, if someone makes this kind of joke, the two will mistakenly think that there is a husband and wife, and take it seriously.
"Then brother, why did you think of coming to see the Loulan monuments?" Liu Tao asked.
"Mainly to find someone, she looks like this, Brother Liu, do you have an impression?" Shen Fei handed Zhou Zhilan's photo to Liu Tao.
Liu Tao looked at it and shook his head.
When he had nothing to do, Liu Tao explained to Shen Fei and the others what he knew about Loulan.
"It is said that the origin of this Loulan was in the third century BC, when the Loulan Kingdom was prosperous, and it was also..." Liu Tao looked at Shen Fei with a smile, "It is also rich in beautiful women!" ”
Shen Fei laughed.
"But ah, the vicissitudes of life, there are only a few monuments left in Loulan now." Liu Tao shook his head, his tone full of sighs.
Because all kinds of evidence show that the former Loulan Kingdom was extremely powerful, with countless vegetation and rivers.
But now Loulan is covered only by a handful of loess on it.
"Then how did Loulan disappear?" Zhao Xinmiao looked at Liu Tao and became interested.
"War, plague, climate change." Without waiting for Liu Tao to speak, Shen Fei spoke.
He studied history and also had a certain understanding of the former Loulan.
Regarding the reason for Loulan's disappearance, this is also Shen Fei's own understanding.
"At that time, the kingdom of Loulan was declining, the northern powers invaded, and the city of Loulan was broken, which can be seen from Wang Changling's military march." Shen Fei said lightly.
"From the military? But the yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and Loulan will not be returned if it is not broken? Zhao Xinmiao asked.
Like her life in Miao Village in northern Xinjiang, there are not many teachers who can teach her knowledge, and many of them need to be self-taught.
"That's right, because the city of Loulan was broken, the people of Loulan migrated, the plague and disease broke out, and then eight or nine out of ten of the residents of Loulan orphans were captured."
"After that, the ecology of Loulan changed, drought and water shortage, and there was no Loulan in the world."
Shen Fei shook his head, if he had the opportunity, he also wanted to see the once prosperous Loulan with his own eyes.
"The little brother is right, at that time, Loulan was beautiful and fat, but it was eliminated by nature." Liu Tao sighed, and then his eyes flashed.
"Little brother, do you want to know the rumors about our pair of Loulan?"
He raised his eyebrows at Shen Fei, grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, and gestured to Shen Fei with one free hand.
His index finger rubbed against each other, which made Shen Fei smile.
"Tea money." Shen Fei smiled, took out a red soft girl coin from his wallet and handed it to Liu Tao.
This kind of tip earned Liu Tao couldn't hide the joy in the corners of his eyes.
After taking the money, Liu Tao naturally wanted to start a tirade, talking about local rumors about Loulan.
It is said that at that time, the ancient country of Loulan had a mysterious treasure, which attracted countless people to fear, such as the original Silk Road, in fact, it was to send people to explore this mysterious treasure and explore the reason why the country of Loulan was strong.
However, this kind of treasure is harmful, and if it is used for a long time and many times, it will cause a vision of heaven and earth. ”
When Zhao Xinmiao heard this, he looked curious, and felt that he knew something terrible.
But Shen Fei's expression was different, he was thinking.
Liu Tao's words reminded him of Kui Sheng, who used to be Kui Sheng who encountered Jiuxuan Ganoderma lucidum, which caused three years of drought and three years of heavy rain, and his legs were also tortured to the point that they were not human.
Seeing the expressions of the two, Liu Tao was very satisfied.
Basically, after paying the money, you can hear him say that this history is passed down in the local area.
However, this kind of thing, because it is too mysterious, will not be recorded in formal books, but only passed down by oral tradition among their local people.
"Actually, it's possible, Loulan hasn't disappeared yet." Liu Tao and the others slowed down, and then spoke again.
