Chapter 164: The Abandoned City of the Gobi
Wu Ze raised his head and observed the surrounding terrain, because of the season, Bayan Dongge Snow Mountain has been covered by ice and snow, if it is in summer, there should be a place here after the ice and snow melt, forming an area where the ice river flows.
It stands to reason that there should be some grass around, but now it has formed a large plateau of Gobi, which looks as if it is on an alien planet.
The visual impact is very strong, behind him is the ridge when he came, in the distance is Bayandongge Snow Mountain, and in front of him is full of gravel, sparse grass with small barbed thorns, which looks like camel thorns in the desert, but those sharp needle tips are longer and sharper than camel thorns.
And this barb seems to have some toxin, which will prevent the blood from the wound from clotting, Wu Ze was accidentally stabbed in the bleeding calf, and finally stopped the bleeding.
Stakes, are these stakes really because they used to be woods? If it's in Xinjiang, it could be poplar forest or something.
But now it seems that something is wrong.
The small one is planted upside down in the soil, and the big one is facing up? How do you look like a group of tombs?
Jiang Yan, who originally wanted to explain global climate change or something, also quieted down, and she also found that these wooden stakes were not quite right.
Because it is so neat, if it is a wasteland formed by the dissolution of a forest or a glacier, then the remaining branches or trunks that appear on the surface of the ground should be irregular. Take a ferry to the Black Pavilion to see the new festival
"I wonder if this place also belongs to the tomb group of the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom!"
"Tombs?"
Luo Fatzi's eyes lit up suddenly, before he heard Wu Ze and Jiang Yan enter the tomb, empty-handed, and complained very much, the thief does not go empty, where is there anything to enter the tomb full of burial goods and not take something.
Dangerous? It's not dangerous where the treasure comes from.
On this trip to northern Tibet, Luo Fatzi is not like Wu Ze who wants to explore the secret of the skull, or to find the footprints of his grandfather's disappearance, nor is he like Jiang Yan, a rich girl with good looks and talents, who has nothing to do and investigates the historical reasons.
Even if he cares about the seven skulls of different colors to make the Yin Soldier Talisman, it is just because he can open the tomb of Qin Shi Huang and find more treasures.
"Damn, who said that there is only gravel on the plateau Gobi, and these disgusting thorny grasses all over the ground!"
Although these grasses did not appear in pieces, the three of them still walked cautiously, because the place where Wu Ze's calf was stabbed showed that the most powerful thing about these grasses was what toxins they contained.
"It's all here, why don't we dig and see?"
Luo Fatzi blushed, looked at Wu Ze and Jiang Yan and said.
"Forget it! The tomb of this ancient elephant and male country is not so easy to get along with, have you forgotten the wolves that attacked everywhere, and the corpse of the wolf in white? Jiang Yan said with palpitations.
"Is it in danger of wealth and wealth? You can't have a murderous corpse guarding every ancient tomb! ”
After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Luo Fatzi still didn't give up.
"Such a large group of tombs should have been buried underground before!"
Wu Ze approached one of the wooden stakes, looked at it carefully, and found that the weathering was not very serious, so he continued: "It may be that some geological change has occurred, turning out all the wooden stakes in such ancient tombs, such a large-scale tomb group, presumably in the ancient Xiangxiong country, also belongs to the ordinary people!" ”
"So, there's no more treasure in it?" Luo Fatzi understood now, and suddenly lost his mind, since it was a civilian tomb, there was indeed nothing to dig up.
The trio continued to forge ahead.
As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse, looking at Bayandongge Snow Mountain seems to be right in front of you, but this plateau Gobi is much bigger than imagined, after walking for a whole morning, a desolate ruin suddenly appeared in front of you, obviously much larger than the ruins seen in the meadow.
And the loess city wall is clearly visible.
"It's strange that the map doesn't mark the ruins of this city?" Jiang Yan said with some surprise.
"Open the map and take a look!"
The map that Jiang Yan got from Germany at a high price is very sketchy, not to mention the ruins of this city, even the previous meadow area is just marked with the shape of a grass, and this Gobi is painted with some sand.
Wu Ze saw that his liver hurt a little, Jiang Yan, a rich girl, was estimated to have been slaughtered, although the general direction was right, but the details were done very badly.
And the dragon hunting map in his own hand is also depicted very briefly.
"By the way, what about the human skin map, open it and take a look!"
As Wu Ze opened the human skin map, everyone found out at this time that there was something in the center of the Gobi location, that is, the ruins of the city, but later it seemed to be erased.
In ancient times, there was a saying about walking in the rivers and lakes called Feng Lin Mo entering, touching the gold gate, and it was still more fearful of the ruins of the city that was not prepared in advance, but suddenly appeared in front of him.
The three of them climbed a high dirt slope, looked down from above, and found that the scale of this city was not small, not a stronghold such as an ordinary garrison fort, because the remnant wall was very high and thick, and there was a watchtower that had not completely collapsed, and there were residential areas and temple remains.
"Brother Ze, it seems that at least thousands of families can live in this city, and it can be regarded as a big city in the ancient northern Tibetan plateau!"
Wu Ze looked at the remnants of the wall with his glasses, as well as the pattern reliefs carved on the temple hall, it seemed that it was undoubtedly a remnant of the ancient Xiangxiong Kingdom, much larger than the one found in the meadow.
"Shall we go in?"
Luo Fatzi was a little eager to try.
"Why don't you go in and have a look? In the 34s, when the Germans were looking for Shambala, they must have passed through here, and they did not make clear marks on the map, and they thought that it was not important, and there should be no danger! ”
Jiang Yan saw Wu Ze hesitate, and also said, as far as she is concerned, she must want to go in and have a look, and explore the estimates of ancient relics, which is very tempting for Jiang Yan.
Wu Ze thought about it, and what Jiang Yan said also made some sense, indeed this place must have been searched by the Germans, in addition to those remnant walls, the location of the temple and the temple, the building is relatively intact, Wu Ze plans to go to that area to see.
"Everyone has weapons in hand, ready to deal with emergencies at any time!"
Although he felt that there should be no danger in the ruins of the city, Wu Ze still subconsciously felt that he should be careful.
Luo Fatzi and Jiang Yan were both carried by the sapper shovel in their hands, only after the field wolves, they were more affectionate about the sapper shovel in their hands, and under certain circumstances, the sapper shovel was even better than a gun.
