"In 1972, a U.S. satellite photograph of Lop Nur showed that Lop Nur was shaped like a human ear in the satellite image. Since then, Lop Nur has had a new name, "Ear of the Earth". ”

When the scorpion saw that I had a question, he told him what he knew in detail.

"From 1972 to 1985, thirteen years passed."

I said.

The fat man seemed to understand what I meant, and continued my words:

"I understand Xiao Su's consciousness, these photos are from the same era as this backpack, that is, the expedition team owned. In other words, on the wall within a hidden space somewhere in the middle of the Tarim Basin, there would be a mural of the same Earth Ear! ”

"How did the ancients know that Lop Nur was shaped like an ear? You must know that the earth satellite can only take pictures of the whole of Lop Nur when it is out of the earth. ”

Yiyi also asked suspiciously.

"This is indeed a problem, although I have been with Mr. Su for so long, he has never mentioned it about that expedition......"

Seeing that we had all our doubts focused on these photos, the scorpion said helplessly.

I don't know how long Scorpion has been with the second uncle, judging from his habits, he has the vigorous and resolute style of a soldier. As for his identity, Sister Ning's identity, and his relationship with the second uncle, whether it is an employment relationship between him and the second uncle as a mercenary, or other relationships, I don't want to inquire in detail.

However, from the time Scorpion mentioned the second uncle, I could clearly see that he respected the second uncle very much.

"The food and water are fresh, and it looks like they've just left..."

The fat man opened the backpack with the dry food and counted the contents. In addition to some compressed biscuits, there are also many canned foods in the food, which can be stored for a long time without spoiling.

"What's the matter, are we going to go in or not going in?"

I asked the fat man and the scorpion, and at the same time turned the flashlight into the dark stone gate again.

"I was given the task of leading you to the Altay steppe, the place where the steppe stone people are owned. And keep you safe. Also, prove whether Ah Jin was dropped or not... So I'm not in favor of..."

"Oh, I said brother, orders are dead, people are alive. Besides, don't you have a mission to find out Akin's identity? Now there is no trace of this old brother, most of them are after entering this stone gate, and we don't violate the order when we go in! ”

The scorpion's meaning is obvious, and he is opposed to entering this mysterious entrance. And under the fat man's mouth, he also began to waver, and raised the flashlight, and the flashlight and mine converged together to shine into the depths.

"I agree to go in."

Yiyi said categorically.

When the scorpion said that the ear-shaped mural in the photo was Lop Nur, Yiyi had already made up her mind to move forward. As for her temperament, I have been very clear these days. Even if all three of us men didn't agree to move on, she would have entered the deep hole alone. Because it may be related to the safety of his father and Master Liu.

My thoughts are the same as Yiyi, and I have deeply rooted the image of the second uncle in the photo. Maybe there are some secrets about our Su family hidden behind this door, and it is not impossible. What's more, as the fat man said, the fake Ah Jin who led me here was probably after entering the stone gate.

It brought us here, and I don't think it's just to let us see these pictures. His real purpose should be behind this stone gate.

Thinking of this, I took a step forward and stood with Yiyi. This action has fully demonstrated my attitude.

Yiyi saw me standing side by side with her, and turned back to me with a nice smile, as sweet as the smile I had at the library door when I first met her.

"How? Brother, three to one, we all agreed to go in. In case the three of us have three long and two short... Phew! ”

The fat man spit three mouthfuls on the ground when he said three long and two short, and one of them actually spit out sticky phlegm, and then said:

"I mean, wouldn't your mission to protect us also fail? Then it's not easy for you to explain, besides, the relationship between our brothers, you can watch your brothers go into the sea of fire without going to the soup together! ”

Once again, I began to admire the eloquence of the fat man, this one's rhetoric. The big one knows the reason with love, and in the end even the brother card is used.

"That's good! But you have to be disciplined and get out of danger as soon as possible! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to Mr. Su and your father! ”

Under the persuasion of the fat man, the scorpion finally agreed to our idea.

In the gap between the fat man convincing the scorpion, Yiyi has already begun to sort out some equipment after entering the stone gate.

With all this gear, we don't have to go back to the car to count our own stuff. Here there are weapons and weapons, and there is food and food. And Yiyi is in a box with a red cross logo painted at the moment, taking out some medicines.

And I could only take out some useless things and sort out four packages.

Judging by the amount of equipment here, this expedition that has just left should have at least eight people.

With so much gear, there are some things that we don't need right now, like sunglasses.

In between Yiyi and I sorting out our gear, the fat man and the scorpion joined in. Soon, we had four backpacks sorted out.

Except for the fat man's backpack with twice as much food as we did, the other three are pretty much the same thing!

Nowadays, each of the four of us has a headlamp, which is much more convenient than holding a flashlight in our hands. We all put the extra flashlight in our backpacks.

I've been to the dungeon, and I know how important the light source is in that dark environment.

So in my backpack, more than anyone else, is a flashlight. At the same time, I also helped Yiyi pack a lot of bulky and heavy things, and Yiyi picked out a lot of medicines to put in her backpack.

This kind of staffing is very similar to teaming up in a game.

Before we set off, all four of us carefully studied the map.

This is a purely hand-drawn map, which reminds me of the hand-drawn map given to me by Aunt Ming when I first went to Zhao Tuo's tomb. I have to think of it, I think, maybe it's not impossible that this map was also drawn by the second uncle himself.

The structure of the map is intricate, with countless forks in the road. There are also many areas with question marks drawn in red.

At the Scorpion's suggestion, these areas with question marks should be dangerous, and we must be extra careful when passing by. We are noncommittal to his advice.

Judging from the scale of the map, it is much larger than the area of Zhao Tuo's underground palace where the fat man and I went.

Behind these mountains are the Altay steppes, and the extension of the map actually passes through several kilometers of steppe areas.

"Let's go!"

With the fat man's "order", he took the lead and walked towards the deep hole!

The scorpion followed closely with the map, while Yiyi was protected by us in the middle, and I was in charge of the rear.

As I passed through the stone gate, I looked up. The thickness of the stone gate is 10 centimeters, which is an ingenious design. I still haven't figured out how that mechanism was activated.

The space behind the stone gate is as wide as we see from the outside, but it is very narrow and deep.

Under the trance of our headlights, there is no end in sight.

"Xiao Su, don't you think the passage in front of you is a little familiar?"

The voice of a fat man came from in front of me.

"The passage of Zhao Tuo's tomb that is one size larger."

I replied.

The long, narrow, endless passage in front of me gave me a feeling of being out of the world. If Yiyi and the scorpion weren't present, I would think that the fat man and I were still in Zhao Tuo's tomb and hadn't come out yet.

This thought made me a little uncomfortable, and I often had the same strange feeling since I came into contact with this mysterious realm. It was as if all my experiences were just a dream of mine.

Whether it's the fat man in front of me, or Yiyi, all of them are the people of my dreams.

Even that little black house and second uncle were made up by me.

When I woke up I was a baby, and all the things in my dreams, including people, would disappear from my world.

At the same time, my father would reappear in front of my eyes intact, and my mother would sing my familiar lullaby for me again.

"Xiao Su, have you dreamed in the past few days?"

I was in the middle of my hallucinatory mood when the fat man's words rang out again.

"Senior brother, can you walk with peace of mind, the words are too dense..."

Yiyi, who was walking in front of me, said to the fat man impatiently.

"Little Nizi doesn't know anything, hum, you don't know the special functions of your little lover!"

For Yiyi's sarcasm, the fat man has always had a trick to deal with.

Sure enough, when Yiyi heard the words "Little Qinglang", she stopped talking. Instead, he deliberately took two quick steps forward, deliberately putting some distance from me to hide his shyness.

"The fat man was made fun of me and Yiyi, be careful that the two of us beat you together!"

I responded.

I know why the fat man asked me if I had ever dreamed of anything for my special abilities. Neither I nor the fat man have talked to Yiyi, and I think that when Yiyi heard the fat man mention that I have special abilities, Yiyi must have classified this sentence into the unreliable ranks.

It's also strange to say, since the fat man and I left the "Qing Xianju", the special ability that Aunt Ming mentioned about me inheriting our Su family has never played a role.

Not even a single dream has been made.

This feeling makes me very depressed, this ability of mine seems to be the peerless six-vein divine sword of his own family obtained by Duan Yu in Jin Yong's pen, and it is not working from time to time.

Even Duan Yu is better than me, as soon as he stretches out his fingers, it is possible to exert his skills. And I can't just go to sleep when I'm fine, and even if I'm asleep, my dreams won't necessarily come true.

"Brother Zhang! Don't move! ”

While the three of us were teasing each other, the scorpion, who had been silent, suddenly spoke!
