There is still a long distance from Lanzhou to Loulan, to be honest, I am not sure in my heart whether I can find the Nine Heavens Mirror, after all, the ancient country of Loulan has disappeared for thousands of years, and in modern times, there have been many archaeological teams and exploration teams have already turned these places upside down, and I am afraid that there are treasures that have already been rolled up.

Either way, there is hope, but give it a try.

We didn't plan to go by car, but rented an off-road vehicle directly in Lanzhou, bought a lot of necessities for walking in the desert, and set off from Lanzhou the next day, all the way out of Jiayuguan, and went straight to Dunhuang.

Driving in the western region, enjoying the scenery that is completely different from the mainland, although it is not said that it is thousands of miles of yellow sand, but the scenery is also somewhat unique.

When we arrived in Dunhuang, we found a hotel to stay and rest, in the afternoon, we went out all the way to Dunhuang to shop, and unconsciously walked to an antique street.

Most of the things bought here are some things from the ancient cities of the Western Regions, of course, fakes must occupy a large part, and there are also some Buddhist ornaments and so on, which is also quite interesting.

In addition to the antiques visited in those small shops, there are also many roadside stalls on the street, which are placed with a lot of strange things.

The antique street was almost gone, and we were about to return to the hotel to rest, when we passed by a middle-aged man on the stall, I didn't pay attention, Wang Yijian sighed, and squatted down.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Wang Yijian picked up an ornament from the stall, which was a small piece of green jade, about two fingers wide, and the whole body was cyan, which was a small jade piece worn on his body.

Wang Yijian turned the green jade over, and on the back of the green jade can be this lifelike little dragon, and there can also be a traditional dragon character below. Wang Yijian took the green jade and asked the big man: "Where did you get this jade plate?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled, showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth and said, "This is my ancestral jade pendant, if I don't have any money, I am reluctant to sell it." You see the texture, the feel, it's definitely a good thing. ”

Wang Yijian said coldly: "Lie! I asked again, where did this jade pendant come from? ”

I don't know why Wang Yijian cares so much about this piece of jade pendant, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said with a displeased face: "I said that it is ancestral, it is ancestral." If you want to buy it, you can buy it, don't buy it, don't get in the way of my business. ”

Wang Yijian's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, which startled the middle-aged man, this guy immediately shouted, saying that we were making trouble, and many tourists next to him came over, I saw this and quickly pulled Wang Yijian and said, "Senior Brother Wang, let's go quickly." ”

Wang Yijian looked at me and said, "This piece of green jade is Senior Brother Long's personal ornament. ”

Hearing this, my whole person was not calm, how could Long Xuan's personal ornament be here? I asked, "Are you sure?" Wang Yijian nodded, and then I said to the middle-aged man: "Don't call it, this jade pendant, how much is it, I bought it." ”

The middle-aged man said with a smug face: "Thirty thousand." ”

I bet that this guy is asking for a price from the ground, he doesn't know the value of this jade pendant at all, these are human spirits, seeing that we care about this jade pendant, we immediately ask for the price. Although I am not short of money, I must not be slaughtered by such unscrupulous people.

I said directly: "Three thousand yuan, don't sell it." ”

The middle-aged man grabbed the jade pendant back from Wang Yijian's hand and said, "Thirty thousand yuan is not the price, if you don't buy it, you can get out." ”

Wang Yijian was a little angry, so I gave him a look and pulled him away. After walking out of the antique street, Wang Yijian said: "That's a clue about Senior Brother Long, he may have been to Dunhuang, and he must buy it." ”

I nodded and said, "I know." But we can't encourage the arrogance of this kind of person, I just left a hand on him, let's go to him again in the evening, and ask where the jade pendant came from. ”

Wang Yijian didn't say much, he agreed to come down. In the evening, I left Xiaodouzi and Xiaomei in the hotel, and I left with Wang Yijian, and in the same way, I folded a thousand paper cranes with a talisman, and after reciting the spell, the thousand paper cranes flew out.

"Let's follow the thousand paper cranes, and we can find the guy who sells antiques during the day."

The paper crane flew all the way not towards the antique street, but came to a place that looked a bit like a shantytown, and the houses were in tatters. The crane flew outside a house, the house in tatters, and the two doors were tightly closed.

I knocked on the door, and after a while I heard the man's voice during the day, he opened the door scolding, and when he saw me and Wang Yijian, this guy sneered: "What? Can't you bear that jade pendant? As I said, 30,000 yuan is not the same price. ”

I sneered and said, "Money is not a problem, you have to tell me, where did you get this jade pendant." ”

The man smiled sinitiously and said, "This has to be charged extra, 40,000 yuan, take the jade pendant, I'll tell you where you got it, give the money first." ”

I smiled and said, "Okay." Then with a flick of his fingers, his consciousness was swept up in Sen Luo Devil May Cry, which only lasted for five seconds, and he immediately screamed hell, I grabbed his clothes and said, "Now, can you say that?" ”

The man was frightened and said, "I said, I said, don't kill me." This jade pendant was picked up from a corpse outside the Snake Valley in Devil City when I went to Devil City a few days ago. ”

Wang Yijian and I glanced at each other, and there was a bad premonition in our hearts, and Wang Yijian immediately said: "Impossible! It is impossible for Senior Brother Long to die. As he spoke, he grabbed the man by the neck and said, "You're lying to us, you're lying, aren't you?" ”

The man said in horror: "Big brother, how dare I lie to you, this is really taken down from a corpse outside the Snake Valley." I hurriedly asked him what the corpse looked like, and the man said, "The corpse is already unrecognizable, and I can't recognize it at all, big brother, I said it, you just let me go." ”

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "Aren't you asking for money?" Okay, I'll give you a way to make money. How about you take us to the Devil's City now, and after you find this corpse, I'll give you 10,000 yuan? But if I find out that you are lying and playing some tricks, you will not be able to save your life. ”

The man's head shook like a rattle and said, "Two big brothers, you can't go to that devil's city." In the past, the Devil's Town was a beautiful and rich place, but later it is said that it was cursed by the gods, and since then it has become a ruin, and there are many monsters infested. ”

I said, "Then how did you run outside the Snake Valley without fear of death?" You're lying, and it seems that if you don't give you something powerful, you won't tell the truth. ”

Before I could do it, the man immediately exclaimed, "I said, I said." About a month ago, a man bought something at my stall and asked me about the way to Devil's Town, and finally he paid me to take him there. After going to Devil's Town, the two of us encountered the wind and sand and got separated, and I didn't know how to turn to the Snake Valley, and found a corpse. This corpse, although it is unrecognizable, but judging from the clothes and body shape, it is the person who asked me to lead the way to Devil's City. I was half frightened to death, touched the jade pendant and a little money from him, and hurried back to flee for my life. ”

Wang Yijian immediately asked him: "What does that man look like and how tall is he?" ”

After the man described it, it was very similar to some of Long Xuan's characteristics, Wang Yijian and I were naturally in a hurry, but this guy said that he would not go to the Devil's City if he died, and only promised to draw us a map.

I didn't bother him, and when I got the map, I gave him 3,000 dollars, and we left. On the way back, Wang Yijian and I were a little silent, and our hearts were very heavy.

There are all kinds of indications that the eight achievements of going to the Devil's City are Long Xuan, but if it is said that Long Xuan died in the Devil's City, neither Wang Yijian nor I believe it.

"Senior Brother Wang, why don't we go to Devil's City overnight?" I proposed.

Wang Yijian nodded and said, "I also have this intention." This jade pendant is definitely Senior Brother Long's personal ornament, it can't be faked, I don't want to find out, I'm unwilling. ”

We immediately returned to the hotel, checked out and drove towards Devil's Town.
