However, Cao Yuan's story also gave me some inspiration.

I have long heard that some people who have a heavy causality with the stand-in can see their past lives, presumably, Cao Yuan said that the scenes she saw in her dreams should be some fragments of her past lives.

If you dream about the same thing for a long time, there will be great cause and effect!

In a trance, I felt that the fragments of the scenes that Cao Yuan witnessed in his dreams might hide the mystery of Loulan's demise.

The destruction of Loulan has been an insoluble mystery in the whole history, the history books have always been vague about this, only know that in 400 A.D., this ancient country of the Western Regions that existed for hundreds of years perished silently, but it is a pity that the Central Plains at that time was in the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms hegemony ended in the Wuhu Chaos period, there is no so-called centralized power at all, all ethnic groups you sing and we take the stage, the city head of the king flag is changed every day, that period of history is called Wuhu and Sixteen Kingdoms. But anyone who knows that era knows that the Han civilization at that time has almost reached the point of dying, the connection between the Han family and the Western Regions has been interrupted for a long, long time, and there are basically no business travelers or envoys entering the Western Regions along the ancient silk road, so how did Loulan perish, the people of the Han family did not witness it at all, but in the 400 years of AD, there was a monk named Fa Xian who had seen the tragic image of Loulan when he traveled west to learn scriptures - there were no birds on the top, no beasts on the bottom, and they were all over the world. Only the dead man's dry bones are used as the identification ear!

At that time, Loulan should have just perished.

Nowadays, in fact, there are many archaeologists who have entered the Loulan ruins for investigation, and finally came to the conclusion that the mystery of the demise of Loulan is related to the diversion of the Zhubin River in the middle reaches of the Tarim River, and there has been a large-scale drought and water shortage in Loulan at the time of its demise, and there should be traces of the invasion of alien species, the alien species that invaded Loulan is the mole cricket, the mole cricket was not originally a species of Loulan, but after arriving in Loulan, because there are no natural enemies such as praying mantises, large-scale reproduction, and finally showed the phenomenon of flooding, completely destroying the ecological balance, Rural children in the north should have played with mole crickets, should know that the main food of this thing is the rhizome of the crop, at that time in Loulan mole cricket overflow, the result is self-evident, the rhizome of the crop is almost all eaten empty!!

The lack of water, the crops were gnawed to death, the living environment of the Loulan people has been destroyed, it may be that there are too many people who died of hunger and drought, and the corpses were not disposed of in time, and finally Loulan produced a large-scale plague, which was also called "Fever Disease" at that time, so that the country was completely extinct.

Of course, these are all speculated by historians, because when the ruins of Loulan were discovered, historians had found traces of the outbreak of plague there, and after removing the half-meter-thick ground, there was a dense layer of mole cricket fossils below, and you had to shovel it out with a spade and a spade, which shows how much the Loulan mole crickets were flooded at that time!!

All this ...... It is all found by archaeologists based on the field and then combined with the historical speculation at that time to restore some of the situation, archaeology is like this, verification, speculation......

However, according to the fragments in Cao Yuan's dream, I vaguely feel that the mystery of the demise of Loulan is probably the wrong speculation of archaeologists, or it should be an incomplete speculation - the mystery of the demise of the ancient kingdom of Loulan is afraid that there is a conspiracy today!

There is no doubt that the drought caused by the diversion of the Zhubin River in the middle reaches of the Tarim River has occurred in the history of Loulan, so what caused the diversion of this river? Was the global temperature changing dramatically at that time? I don't think so.

There are also mole crickets, could it be that this alien species jumped to Loulan by itself to invade the species? I'm afraid it's not.

Based on the fragments in Cao Yuan's dream, whether it is drought or mole crickets, they are all estimated to be due to war!!

A rough outline took shape in my mind - King Loulan envied the prosperity of the Central Plains, and wanted to enter the Central Plains and Wuhu in his lifetime, but he had no choice but to live a long life, so he could only sigh in the sky all day long, and a person appeared at this time, telling King Loulan that there was an elixir in Daqin, that is, the Roman Empire, so King Loulan sent an army to ask for the elixir, but the elixir had not been taken back, and he had already hung up, And the army he sent out may have provoked a war because of friction with other countries during the march, so when the king of Loulan had just hung up, an inexplicable enemy descended on the land of Loulan and launched a war of extermination against Loulan!

At that time, it may have been in order to destroy the Loulan country, so those inexplicable enemies simply dug up the Tarim River, forced the Zhubin River to be diverted, and let Loulan fall into the predicament of water shortage, and then those enemies stocked mole crickets in Loulan, let the mole crickets eat the crops of the Loulan people, and let the Loulan people run off food, and under the water and food, the plague broke out in Loulan and was completely extinct.

This is definitely not my speculation, and it is not once or twice in history to forcibly reverse the mountains and rivers in order to win a war, let alone the war of annihilation against Loulan!

Not to mention anything else, there was such an example in World War II, when our country, in order to prevent the Japanese from crossing the Yellow River and hitting the south to pursue the retreating troops with an unstable foothold, blew up the Yellow River Garden Mouth to the point of bursting the embankment in one go, so that millions of people died! What can't those emperors and generals do to win a war? In the face of war, human life is really not valuable.

As for who the mysterious opponent who destroyed the Loulan Kingdom was, there was no way to speculate, and those who came from the west and had the ability to destroy Loulan were nothing more than three.

First, Great Qin, that is, the Roman Empire at that time; second, the Sassanid Empire, which replaced the Sabbatarian Empire and dominated the Euphrates Valley in Asia Minor; Third, the Huns.

However, it should be unlikely that the Roman Empire and the Huns were in the 400th year of AD, when the Huns were mad about the Romans, and the fragmented Huns who were trampled by the Han army were driven to Europe like lost dogs. That is to say, at the time of the fall of Loulan, the Roman Empire and the Huns were really hot, and they should not have time to run to the east, because at that time they did not know that the strong men of the Central Plains had fallen, and they were afraid of the east.

In comparison, I think the Sassanid Dynasty is the most likely, the Sassanid Dynasty has always been considered to be the continuation of the Rest Empire, across the ancient silk road, is the place to go to Daqin after all, the king of Loulan sent troops to Daqin to seek longevity, and there is a great possibility of causing friction through this country.

Although both the Sassanid Dynasty and the Anxi Empire, as one of the four major powers in the world at that time, were given an evaluation by Sima Qian in the "Historical Records" that they were weak and could be trampled on, their weak soldiers were only aimed at the Han army, and fighting the Loulan people was still the same as playing, so the Sassanid Dynasty was the biggest suspect in the destruction of Loulan!!

However, there are still many doubts in this matter - for example, who is the person who asked King Loulan to go to Daqin to get the elixir? What is the purpose of this man?

The ghost sent the gods, and I thought of the Sanqing Daoists......

Could it be this guy again? It's really possible!

We have now found the other two caves, one is the tomb of the Exquisite Queen, and the other is the arrogant hunting of King Wusun, as for the legendary third cave of Tianxue, it has not been landed, if it should be in Loulan, then we will go to Loulan this time It will be fun!

But the more I think about it, the more I feel that it hangs, the bastard of the Sanqing Daoist can fool the destruction of the exquisite ancient country, and it is also possible to destroy the country by the Loulan people.

Perhaps, the tragic history of the entire demise of Loulan was planned by this person himself!

I had a lot of speculations in my head, and I thought a lot of things after sitting in the desert with Cao Yuan all night.

However, no matter what the history is, one thing I think I can be sure of is that Cao Yuan's previous life should be the last queen of Loulan - Queen of Anxiety, the legendary first beauty of Loulan!

With these mixed thoughts, the night passed like this.

At ten o'clock the next morning, according to our agreement with Elise, we set off on time, riding on the first camel Cao Yuan, who is our main guide this time, will lead us all the way west to find the legendary Loulan King City!!
