189 Loulan
It seems that the owner of this shop is not an idle person, and his words reveal the tone of an insider.
"Find a small stove, pick up some small firewood, and make a small fire" means to find a small tomb and make a small fortune, so as not to cause a big "fire" disaster. The old man didn't let us enter the desert, is there a big hole in the desert? It seems that we didn't come here in vain, we just wanted to investigate and find some clues, but we didn't expect to make a major discovery.
"Shopkeeper, according to you, is there oil to be fished in this desert?" I asked tentatively
"Huh? Do you ...... No, no, no, there is no oil and water to fish, and the old man is talking nonsense when he drinks. The shopkeeper wondered.
In fact, we didn't know that in this hot desert, there was still a big fight, maybe it was really related to the golden rune. I had hoped to find the legendary temple dedicated to the gold medal, but now I didn't get the slightest of it.
It seems that if you want to find some clues about the golden rune, the only way at present is to go to this big bucket and take a trip, and often the clues without clues are the best clues.
"No, shop owner, you haven't let us go to Flaming Mountain, there must be something there, please tell me both, I'll definitely buy you a big case of good wine when I go back." This old man doesn't eat oil and salt, and it seems that he can only come to tempt him with wine.
As soon as the old man heard that we were going to give him a box of wine, he let go of his guard and opened the conversation: "There are so many treasures buried in this desert, and the expeditions, archaeological teams, and of course, tomb robbers who have gone forward and backward have lost their lives for these treasures. Almost none of those who set foot in this desert came out safely. I watched team after team of fresh lives buried for the treasures in the desert, and my heart was not happy. Seeing that some of you are not bad people, I advise you not to take this path of death. ”
The old man took a hard breath of the choking dry smoke and fell into the memories of ten years ago. Ten years ago, an old professor surnamed Zhang led four young students from Beijing to come here.
Professor Zhang is an old professor who has been studying the culture of the ancient Loulan people, and in an ancient book, he made an astonishing discovery that Turpan, known as Huozhou, has a close connection with Guloulan.
In addition, a foreign friend of Professor Zhang's found a mysterious ancient city site in the Kumtag Desert in Turpan during a scientific expedition. The site is very similar to the ancient Loulan site found in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang. Professor Zhang firmly believes that the ruins of the ancient city in the Kumtag Desert are likely to be left behind by the Guloulan people.
The owner of the shop used to be a gold collector, and after causing another big disaster, he retired here and opened this small shop to enjoy his old age.
But when I heard that there might be ancient Loulan ruins in the vast desert in front of me, I wanted to really find that ancient ruins, even if I casually followed a bottle and jar, it would be enough to eat for a lifetime. I insisted on being a guide for Professor Zhang, who was very unfamiliar with the geographical environment here, and saw that the shopkeeper insisted on going, so he took him on the road.
But after entering the desert, I couldn't distinguish between southeast and west, and the compass, watch, and all equipment lost their role here. In this way, there was no direction in the desert, there was no time to walk, and after three days all the drinking water was used up one after another, and the hot weather began to cause severe dehydration.
Then strange things happened, there were four students in their group, and two of them were suffocated in the sand as if they were enchanted. Another ran in one direction as if he had gone crazy until he disappeared.
In the end, only the shopkeeper and Professor Zhang and one of his students remained. At night, they took turns to rest, and when Professor Zhang was old, he didn't let him keep vigil, and the shopkeeper and the student took a break.
The student kept watch for the first half of the night, and he kept watch for the second half of the night, but when the shopkeeper fell asleep, he found that the student who was keeping vigil was nowhere to be found. After searching around, they finally found blood stains on the sand and the white canvas shoes worn by the student forty meters away.
Professor Zhang watched his favorite students die one by one without explanation, and his heart was so devastated that his spirit almost collapsed, and even walking became a problem. For the next two days, the shopkeeper supported the old professor and walked with difficulty, until the old professor collapsed, and when he was about to be seriously dehydrated, the shopkeeper did something that reversed human nature. He cut the old professor's arteries with a knife and drank almost all the blood in the old professor's body.
Later, the shopkeeper walked alone in the endless desert until he fainted. When he woke up, he realized that he had reached the edge of the desert and was rescued by several locals who had come out to dig cacti.
Later, he returned here to continue to run his small inn, and in the following years, several teams of people came. It was all for the mysterious ruins of the ancient city, but he did everything he could to convince all the passers-by who stayed here not to enter this demonic desert. But no one was willing to listen to him, and no one made it out alive.
After saying this past, the shopkeeper sighed softly and said, "Young man, the road is still long, why do you have to take this one." Old man, I've talked a lot today. After saying that, the shopkeeper got up and staggered to leave.
Li Zhen and I couldn't keep him no matter how much I stayed, and after the boss left, Li Zhen and I both sat at the dinner table and fell silent.
After hearing the shopkeeper's words, I hesitated whether I should go or not, we must have a reason to go, if it is not worth risking our lives just for those treasures. But we came to find Pei this time, but so far we can't find any information related to Pei. If you don't put it, you can't convince the inexplicable curiosity in your heart.
In the end, after a few discussions, Li Zhen and I were neutral, whether we could go or not, in fact, we also wanted to go for a walk. But out of responsibility for everyone's safety, he hesitated, and Huzi heard that there were ancient Loulan ruins, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
said that even if we don't go, he will go alone, such a big oil and water is not fished, a little sorry for his profession.
"Dou Ye, that person, his scheming is too deep."
Li Zhen nodded, agreeing with my statement. All along, we thought that Pei disappeared because he escorted us out. But if you look at Dou Ye's message to us, Pei's disappearance is definitely related to Dou Ye.
Xu saw that we didn't speak, and Huzi spoke first.
"I'm afraid of Mao, how old is Dou Ye. Even if there is a disparity in manpower, the strength may not be lost to him. ”
Li Zhen and I glanced at each other, and what Huzi said was not unreasonable. No matter what, Pei is not in the hands of Dou Ye, we have to confirm it in person.
