Chapter 311: The Resurrected Desert

readx;

Lafayette listened to the words of the wooden tower, and his expression couldn't help but move: "Did the night owl look for you?" ”

Muta took a puff of his cigarette and smiled indifferently: "If they had looked for me, you wouldn't have seen me." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thanks to this young man named Knife. ”

Tieshazui said: "We are responsible for this matter, we recruited the night owl." ”

"It should be fine for the time being." Muta said: "I knew that one day you would come back, but I didn't expect you to come back so many people, and ...... Your legs? ”

Lafayette smiled reluctantly: "Don't get in the way, my hands can still climb." It's just that I can't bear to drag you into the water again. ”

Wooden Tower stood up, turned around and poured water for everyone, and said: "I lived one hundred and nine years old, it was God's favor, and it was God's arrangement to go into the desert with you back then, and it has nothing to do with you. As he spoke, he came out with a few dark red porcelain bowls, filled them with hot water and handed them to us.

I said thank you, took the porcelain bowl and saw that the red glaze on the bowl was very delicate, although it was a little old, but there was an indescribable faint luster.

"Red in the glaze!" I was stunned, I couldn't imagine that in such a small village in the middle of the desert, which did not even have a name, I could see such precious porcelain.

Tieshazui was also stunned: "The glaze of the Zhenguan official kiln is red, the old man, the heirloom?" ”

Mu Ta shook his head: "You are all experts, this thing of mine came out of the ground." Our ancestors have been fishing and hunting for a living, where can we afford such a good thing. ”

As soon as the beard heard this, he became interested: "Out of the ground!" Damn, this is the rhythm of getting rich! This is a necessary place on the ancient Silk Road, and if you dig out the red place in the glaze, there will definitely not be only these broken bowls, right? ”

Sure enough, they were all tomb robbers, and I saw that except for the knife, almost everyone's eyes were a little shining, but after all, I was a layman, and I didn't know much about porcelain, so I didn't have much interest, so I echoed a few words, and my mind flew to the ghost city of Lop Nur.

Wooden Tower said: "The place where I dug out these bowls back then is also another necessary way to Lop Nur, if you want to go, you can go to see it tomorrow, but that place is very evil, I'm afraid that we don't have enough fate and can't find that place." ”

"What kind of evil method?" The beard was already completely intrigued, and asked vigorously.

The old man of the wooden tower frowned: "The desert there...... is alive. ”

Alive! Everyone was stunned, and Wooden Tower continued: "That desert is the weirdest place in Lop Nur, and the whole desert is silvery white. There is a legend of the ancient Lop Nur ancestors, a long time ago, the daughter of the god of wind fell in love with a prince of mortals, after the god of wind learned, he broke his daughter's legs, blew a strong wind, and blew the prince and daughter to two different places in the desert, the two people fell in love day and night, and the tears that flowed turned into a river, and converged to Lop Nur to form Daze, after death, the prince turned into a snow-capped mountain, and the daughter's white hair turned into a silver desert, but the desert was like receiving the curse of the god of wind, and every winter there would be a strong wind, Today we see a sand dune here, tomorrow it will run dozens of miles away, some people say that there is a body of her daughter buried in the desert, and the god of wind wants her daughter to never leave the desert and not be able to meet her lover. ”

I saw the old man's cloudy eyes looking out the window, his eyes were a little confused, as if he had experienced this story himself, although he was not very good at telling stories, but I still heard some clues from the story.

For tomb robbers, they are very sensitive to collecting information, especially some information about local legends, which Iron Sandmouth has taught me before. I could have sorted out this story, and if there was a large tomb in that desert, then the daughter of the wind god in the story was probably the owner of this tomb. Although the identity of the owner of the tomb is not revealed in the story, the Lop Nur people have covered her with a mysterious veil of the daughter of the god of wind, which shows that the status of this female tomb owner during her lifetime is very unique.

In ancient times, many civilizations in the Western Regions had matriarchal clans for a long time, and in the story told by the old man, although on the surface it was narrating the tragic love affair of a pair of lovers, the focus of the story was still biased towards the daughter of the wind god, which was very in line with the narrative principles of the matriarchal clan society, and there was a glaze red in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, as long as it was an experienced tomb robber, he would immediately think of the existence of the ancient tomb. However, in the matriarchal social system, the word "prince" will not appear, and I believe that this legend was not the case at the beginning, but later came to the patrilineal society and was adapted, and the purpose of the adaptation, I think it should be that someone wants to protect this ancient tomb to a large extent.

There is a prince in the story, and experienced craftsmen will be attracted to this word, because in the whole story, the daughter of the god of wind is a mythical thing after all, which belongs to the spiritual level and cannot be touched, while the prince belongs to the material level, so insiders can easily think that if there is a tomb, it is likely that it is the prince's. Then the snow-capped mountain that the prince turned into should be the location of the tomb. There are many snow-capped mountains in Taklamakan Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Tianshan Mountain, and Qilian Mountain are all large mountain systems, especially Kunlun Mountain, which is the source of China's dragon vein, and it is easy to divert people's attention. In fact, the center of the story is indeed built around the daughter of the god of wind. As soon as I said my thoughts, I suddenly wanted to thank my high school Chinese teacher, and the central idea of the college entrance examination reading questions was very scored.

At this time, Lafayette opened his eyes and asked, "Wooden Tower, why didn't you mention this story back then?" ”

Muta sighed: "In those days, there were too many people who went to the desert to steal treasures, I knew who you were at a glance, and you have the above documents, and the direction is very clear that it is the center of Lop Nur, and I don't need to tell you anything else." But at that time, I knew from your conversation that what you were looking for was not in Lop Nur, but in that living desert. ”

Yu Su retorted: "You're not right, the place we are going to is indeed the center of Lop Nur. ”

"Then you won't find anything." The old man said: "My ancestors have lived in Lop Nur for generations, and they all know that the center of Lop Nur is not the center you see from the map now, I know that the technology outside is very advanced, and you can see the whole Lop Nur from the sky, but the place I am talking about is something you can't see, only God can see it." ”

I felt something was wrong when I heard it, and then turned my head to ask Yu Su, "Is what the old man of the wooden tower said right?" So what's going on with the ghost town plan you sketched off the map? ”

Yu Su blushed, bit his lip and was silent for a while, raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, I admit it, the plan of the ghost town I showed you was drawn by me out of thin air, if the old man is right, then the ghost town is not in the center of Lop Nur, or not in the center of what we think, we did calculate the location of the ghost town through the map data of the beard, but this location can not be found on the map or aerial photography, I can only make up one, otherwise I am afraid that you will not comply." ”

Hu Zi snorted: "Then you are really well-intentioned, you care that comrades have no resistance to beautiful women, and you overestimate him too much." ”

I glared at the beard and said, "Please, everyone, can you tell me anything directly in the future?" Why do you always set me up in a sleeve? The master is not a rabbit. "I was very depressed at this time, because I thought that Yu Su was cooperating with me openly and honestly, but I didn't expect her to be calculating me again, damn, am I really not resistant to beautiful women?

Lafayette asked, "Among you Lop Nur people, is there a legend about the ghost town?" ”

The wooden tower shook his head, and the iron sand mouth immediately took the words: "The glaze red is from the Tang Dynasty, and the legend told by the old man at least occurred in the pre-Qin period, which shows that the glaze red is not the burial goods of the tomb, with the disappearance of the Loulan Kingdom in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Silk Road has also been affected, but this Silk Road is still playing a role, the glaze red is likely to reach the silver desert through the Silk Road, since it is not a funeral goods, it can only show that there are people living there, and people who can afford such precious porcelain must be the overlord of the rich side, Before that place, it was likely that there was an ancient city, but the geographical location and natural environment were relatively closed, and outsiders did not know about it. ”

"What you say is very logical, but there is no way to prove that you are talking about a ghost town." ”

Iron Shazui glanced at Lafayette: "Then you have to listen, what did Lafayette and our old lady see in the desert back then, if they really arrived at the ghost town, then my judgment is wrong." But I'm pretty sure they lied, and they didn't find anything, because they didn't even find what they were looking for. ”
