"Brother, are we going in the right direction? I don't even have a compass, so don't get lost again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Xiaohai asked, looking back at the village that had become a little smaller.

"Don't worry, the sixth child drew me a map yesterday." As he spoke, Da Lei took it out: "Based on Lop Nur, Taer Village is located on its northwest side, and Loulan is on our south side. It's really not good, let's just look at the sun, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, follow it, we also have a bottom in our hearts. ”

In order to save their strength, both of them stopped talking.

Although it is only more than 60 kilometers, the environment under the feet is harsh, coupled with the wind and sand, it took two days and one night to arrive. They ran all the way from Baoding to this deserted forbidden land, just for Loulan! At this moment, they finally saw the ruins of the ancient country they had been thinking about, but their hearts were not as excited as they expected.

The Loulan in front of me is not as brilliant as imagined, and as far as the eye can see, it is ancient and dignified. Due to the erosion of wind and sand for many years, a unique Yadan landform has been formed here, which looks like a small sand dune from a distance, but it is actually the skeleton of historical precipitation. There are various ancient buildings distributed on the vast desert, they are scattered one by one, some like droplets, some like wooden stakes, all of them are loess brown, different shapes and sizes, most of them have collapsed, or have been annihilated by the desert, and some even have only a piece of wall remnants scattered intermittently. They are like a beast that has been attacked, falling to the ground in embarrassment, and now only the cold bones are left by the wind and sand day and night, and it is difficult for Da Lei to imagine what it looked like before.

Da Lei stepped down from the hump, walked in this once glorious place that countless people yearn for, and stroked the thousands of holes on the wreckage, which were traces of years of precipitation. Looking at the dazzling earth under the golden glow, silently showing its past glory. It's just a pity that everything ceases to exist.

The two of them led the camel several times, a little lost. Lao Liu is right, there is nothing here except the ruins made of loess. For the sake of this place, they almost lost their lives!

"Let's go." Da Lei patted the sand on his body, looked up at the position of the sun, and walked towards the south.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Hai asked behind him.

"Ruoqiang County, Lao Liu said that it was the closest county."

"Just go back like this, work hard for months, and in the end I will see a few broken pillars, and go back after breaking the dirt house?"

"You think I want this?!" Da Lei said helplessly: "What else can I do now?" To be honest, my brother regrets bringing you here, I thought it was too simple, I just cared about seeing what happened, and I didn't care about the consequences at all! You've seen it these days, and strange things have hurt us so much that we almost went to see Hades! Brother doesn't matter if he's dead, but he can't affect you! ”

"Brother, as the old saying goes, if you don't die in a big disaster, you will be blessed! Now that you can get out of the Taklamakan side! It means that we are hard! Besides, you swore to bring me here, and finally got here, not even an hour, and you have to leave after watching the flowers and flowers, are you willing? ”

Xiao Hai's last sentence said that Da Lei's heart was in trouble, after all, he had traveled a long way along the way, and now he was only a few steps away. He was really a little unwilling to leave! But Xiaohai... This child has been bold and small since he was a child, although the two of them have been able to escape from the yin things he has encountered in the past few months, but now he has palpitations. If something really happens to this child, how can he explain to his father and mother when he arrives in the underworld?!

"It's good to catch something, and it's not in vain. In this way, when you talk to your children and grandchildren in the future, you can still take out something for others to look at and leave a thought! ”

Da Lei hesitated a little, the two of them did suffer a lot this time, but he finally got a bracelet. Thinking of the bracelet, Da Lei took it out, the bracelet was still cold, but it looked more thorough and moist than that day in the secret room, and it was said that Baoyu had aura, and it was true.

"What is this?" Xiao Hai leaned over and asked.

"The bracelet I picked up by chance was left as a good thing."

"Hey!" Xiao Hai took it and looked at the sun, and suddenly shouted excitedly: "This is really a good thing, better than Aunt Xiang's ancestral heirloom!" Brother, why didn't you say it earlier! There must be something else in this place! Let's delay for another day, and it's not bad for so long to come. ”

"This place can be seen through at a glance, what is there to find?"

"Can a baby that can be seen at a glance still be called a baby? Anyway, just stay for a day and you won't lose anything! ”

Da Lei couldn't resist him, so he agreed, and if he really went back like this, he might have regrets in the future. The two of them went one after the other, although the distribution of the ruins is very large, but each place is similar, Xiaohai is very excited, either digging here, or knocking there, like a headless fly, from morning to evening, he was a little discouraged, and began to say to himself with some suspicion: "The sixth man has come so many times, if there is really anything, has he already picked it up?" ”

Looking at his appearance, Da Lei guessed that after less than an hour, this fat man was about to retreat, since he was a child, three points of heat. But Xiao Hai's words are not wrong, the sixth child has traveled back and forth countless times, and his experience must be much richer than that of the two, and he told himself that the most he said was to save his life, and the implication was not to be greedy for money.

Da Lei pointed to a sand dune in front of him and said: "We haven't seen that place yet, go and see, if there is nothing, transfer to Ruoqiang, just think that this trip is a dream, is it okay?" ”

Xiao Hai looked around, it was not early, although he was still a little unwilling, but he also felt that there was no other better way. Da Lei saw that he agreed and didn't talk much, in fact, those words were also said to himself.

Xiao Hai was a little tired and rode a camel in front, and Da Lei followed silently. The wind and sand gradually became rampant, Da Lei took out a coat and wrapped it around his body, he wore a Kazakh costume for the first time, he was a little unaccustomed, this dress was still given by the sixth child, although it was shabby, but it was really warm. He lowered his head all the way, watching the soles of the camel's feet imprint on the soft desert one by one, which was a little funny. The people were all tall and big-footed, but this animal was big and small-footed, and he was a little distracted, and compared it with his own footprints, and the camel was two laps bigger than him, but his footprints were not even half of his own. I looked at Xiaohai again, and it turned out to be smaller than my own, it's strange, this fat man's feet have always been bigger than himself, why did he come here for a few months so thin that his feet are like a girl.......

...... Wrong!!!

Xiaohai... He's been sitting on a camel! Da Lei raised his head suddenly, Xiao Hai sat on the camel, and his two feet stepped on the iron pedal... Whose footprints are they on the ground?

He quickly lowered his head

But the footprints were gone, and there were only the marks of myself and my camels in the desert......

He rubbed his eyes, opened them again, and it was still the same.

Could it be that I was dazzled and misunderstood?

"Oops!" With a scream, Xiao Hai fell off his hunchback and fell into the desert with a puff of dust. Da Lei hurriedly went over to help him up, Xiao Hai opened his throat and pointed at the camel and scolded, but the camel hummed with his head down, no matter how Xiao Hai pulled, he refused to take a step forward.

"What's wrong?"

"Who knows! Suddenly I almost didn't fall to death like crazy! Xiao Hai angrily kicked the camel hard, this time it was estimated that the strength was too great, the camel raised his head and neighed, struggled to break away from the rope and ran in the opposite direction, Xiao Hai rushed over and chased wildly, Da Lei followed behind, he didn't take two steps to stop.

The sixth said that the camel is a very docile animal, and it has been doing well all the way, why did it suddenly change its sex?

He looked back at the remains not far away, a little far from the other ruins, as if he had deliberately avoided them. The shape resembles a pagoda, the base of the tower is square, the body of the tower is octagonal, and the whole is relatively well preserved. The niche at the top has been weathered into a convex shape, and the dark brown walls are carved with human-faced animal bodies on the left and right sides. At the bottom is an abutment made of layers of stone steps, on which stand a dozen pillars, towering and upright, the left half of the wall has collapsed slightly, but the original outline can still be faintly seen, there is an entrance in the center, and the inside is dark and full of mystery.

Xiao Hai panted and walked over in the back, out of breath: "No... Didn't catch up... This brute.... Run... Running too fast...."After speaking, he squatted on the ground: "No... Tired.. I'm exhausted! ”

Xiao Hai gasped violently, his heart was beating so hard that his chest hurt, and the frequency was as fast as if he was about to jump out! After a while, his heartbeat finally slowed down, and he almost stopped, raised his head and looked at Da Lei with his back to him without saying a word, wondering if he had kicked the camel away impulsively, and my brother sulked!

"Brother, didn't the sixth brother say that this camel is very obedient, why did he lose his temper so much after kicking it, and he kicked it to the sky! I can't even pull it back. ”

Da Lei still didn't speak, and walked towards the abandoned building, Xiao Hai followed him brightly, and the atmosphere between the two became inexplicably depressing.

Da Lei got closer and saw clearly that the statues on the left and right sides of the main wall looked like wolf heads and human shapes. are all **** upper body, with a keystone hanging from their waists, holding guns and knives, their eyes are fierce, their teeth are grinning, and their demeanor is incompatible with this pagoda. Although the carving is old, the hideous expression is still prohibitive.

"Xiaohai, I'll go in first to explore the road in a while, you wait outside, wait for me to call you, and then you come in."

After speaking, Da Lei walked inside with a torch, he walked very cautiously with every step, but he didn't walk for a minute, and before he could see the layout inside, he only felt that his feet suddenly stepped on the air, and then his whole body fell down like a vacancy, and he didn't have time to think about what happened, he only heard a "plop" sound, and he fell to the ground fiercely.

This fall was not light, it was harder than the previous fall into the tunnel, Da Lei struggled to get up, but before he could stand up, he only felt a sharp pain in his right leg, and he stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Ahh Da Lei couldn't help but moan, the pain in his heart. The torches had been extinguished, and it was pitch black that I couldn't see anything clearly. He raised his head, and the black rumbling above it was terrifyingly deep, but a few dozen meters away from him, there was a faint light, like a bright window in a prison.

That window must be the door to enter......

His grandma's! From the outside, it is only a dozen meters high! After coming in, it was dozens of meters deep! It's dangling!

He cautiously reached out and covered his right leg, which had a viscous liquid, close to his nose, and blood......

It looks like it's a broken bone.

"Xiaohai! It's empty! It's deep! I couldn't move my leg anymore! Go back and call someone! ”

......

"Xiaohai!" Da Lei shouted at the top of his voice.

......

"Xiaohai! Do you hear me? Xiaohai !!!! ”

...... Still silent.

Alas, Da Lei hung his head and thought dejectedly, he was dozens of feet deep underground, and he probably couldn't hear it.

After a few times, Da Lei's throat was already hoarse, he had no choice but to endure the pain, groped in the dark, found the scattered backpacks and torches, and it took a long time to light them.

At this point, he saw clearly, the outside of this building is only ten meters, in fact, the inside is more than 100 meters high!

The building is open and wide, and there is a huge stone statue standing in the middle, which is not as high as the top, and it is difficult to see the appearance. He fell at the feet of the idol, its feet were thick and large, its nails were sharp and sharp, and its ankles were bound by iron chains, and two huge iron balls were tied to the chains, more than twice the size of Da Lei.

And what shocked him the most was that there were almost a thousand holes in the rows of these eight walls! Each hole is about seven feet long and eight feet wide. In each hole there was nothing else, it turned out to be a coffin!

A Thousand Coffins Tomb!

He also knows a little about this thousand coffin tombs, there are many theories, the first appearance was in Xiangxi, most of the soldiers who died in the ancient wars did not have complete remains, and some even had no bones and could not be buried back to their hometowns. In order to commemorate the souls of the dead, the ancients buried them together, and there was a "Thousand Coffin Tomb".

He heard that the tomb was usually underground or deep in the mountains, because it was sparsely populated and did not disturb the rest of the dead.

Besides, there is nothing of value, and when the tomb robbers see it, they also kowtow and leave obediently.

I didn't expect it to appear in this desert.

Da Lei looked at his legs, the flesh and blood were blurry and unbearable to see, and the miserable white bone stubble had already been spent! It was still stained with blood and sand. There is no alcohol or medicine here, I am afraid that if I delay any longer, I will be infected, and then my whole leg will be wasted! He sat on the ground and hesitated, took out the knife given by the sixth child, and disinfected it with fire. Biting the clothes in his mouth, his eyes closed, and with a quick wave of his big hand, he forcibly ripped off the flesh stained with sand and soil on the wound!

"Hmmm...!!" Da Lei fell to the ground and moaned in pain, his lips were already white, and he couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat, only to feel that his whole body was twitching. He took a deep breath, stretched out his hand tremblingly, tore open a piece of cloth, and took another torch from his bag, which he used as a pole and fastened it to his leg.

Although the leg was saved, it is estimated that walking will not be as sharp as it is now! But then again, he was very grateful to God for being able to save his life after falling from this height!

He wiped the blood stains on the knife, don't look at the strange shape of the knife, but it is really as the sixth said, it is extremely sharp and fast!

Thinking of the sixth child, Da Lei has some questions, the sixth child has traveled back and forth to the Loulan site countless times in the past ten years, and he must be very familiar with this place, why haven't he heard him mention this thousand coffin tombs?

And the sixth child is lame, I don't know if he was injured in this fall like himself.

In the end, he really didn't know that there was such a place, or was he hiding something?

Da Lei held on to the stone statue and got up with difficulty, every time he moved, his right leg was as painful as a chainsaw drilling a bone, and he only took two steps, and his clothes were already soaked with cold sweat. He forcibly came to the earthen wall, looked up, this bottom should be the abutment, the first row of holes about five meters high from him began to be arranged, Da Lei counted, this circle actually lined up fifty coffins! Why are there so many coffins in the tower? He leaned back, sat down at the feet of the statue without paying attention, and raised the torch as best he could, which was all the more astonishing to see that the coffin was black!

The most common colors of coffins are red, white, gold, brown.

Red, which means that people who are over eighty years old and die without illness, are commonly known as "happy funerals", also called longevity coffins. White means a young or unmarried girl, the deceased who died young, and the coffin will be cleaned to bless the soul of the deceased and reincarnate as soon as possible. Gold is rich and glorious, the glory of the gods, mostly for the emperor's family, the royal family and nobles to enjoy. Brown is the most common, and the homes of civilians are laid to rest here.

And this black is the most unlucky, the big murderer! Since ancient times, only abnormal early funerals such as mourning plague and shooting suicide will be used, and there is also a curse, which means that the sun of the yang world can no longer be seen, and there is no way to pass through the sky, only to be buried in the underworld.

No wonder it's buried deep in this octagonal tower that doesn't see the light of day!

What's really going on here?

Da Lei raised his head and looked at the small hole dozens of meters high from him, the light was dimmed again, it seemed that the sky had gradually darkened, he shouted again with his throat: "Xiaohai!!! ”

Still silent.

Da Lei was a little anxious, he didn't know what he should do now. First of all, his leg was seriously injured, and he would definitely not be able to get out for a while, and secondly, he couldn't get in touch with Xiaohai, what if this fat man couldn't see him and rushed in and fell like him!

Time passed minute by minute, Da Lei was in a hurry, at this moment, he was a little conflicted in his heart, although he was worried that this child would fall and hurt himself if he came in impulsively, but for so long, Xiaohai didn't move at all, could something happen on it? Da Lei estimated that it would take an hour to figure out what was going on, and he was even more restless, sitting at the feet of the stone statue of the divine beast, bowing his head and forcing himself to calm down.

Wait a minute.

If the sixth child really hasn't been to this place, then since he has met him this time, it must have been deliberately arranged by God! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, or that sentence, if you can live as much as possible, it is a dead end.

If the sixth child deliberately conceals it, without considering what the reason is, it means that there must be a way out!

"Squeak..."

This abrupt sound made Da Lei's nerves that had just been relieved tense again!

What a sound!

Da Lei slowly got up with the stone statue and walked along the sound source, behind the stone statue, the coffin in the earthen embryo cave was actually opened!
