Chapter 391: Queen Kunlun
The origin of the Chinese dragon vein lies in Kunlun. The mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers from west to east. It can be said that the Kunlun Mountains are not only the guardians of the land of China, but also the general vein of the fortune of the Chinese country.
In the great northwest of China, it has always been called the Western Regions in ancient times. The land is flat and open, and the Tien Shan Mountains straddle the north and south, separating the two regions.
The southern side of the Tien Shan Mountains is lush green, and the back is a patch of yellow sand, which is known as the second largest desert in the world, the Taklama Desert.
Kunlun Mountain originated from this barren land. Throughout the ages, the world knows that the dragon veins of China are hidden in Kunlun, but the real Kunlun has never been seen by anyone.
Kunlun is not what the world sees. I really understand that Kunlun is a holy place in the eyes of metaphysicians, full of spiritual power, all kinds of rare and exotic beasts run among the trees and flowers, cranes sing together, and dragons wander with heaven and earth.
Of course, this may have been true in ancient times, and until now, no mountain range has been found to match the Kunlun description. Maybe it doesn't mean that Kunlun doesn't exist, but that Kunlun has declined.
In the Taklama Desert, the sun is still scorching in May. The surroundings are full of fine yellow sand, and the monotony of the surroundings makes people dizzy.
The crisp sound of camel bells, jingling echoes in the boring and monotonous world.
Niu Xiaoyan sat on a camel and dozed off. Niu Xiaoyan is an archaeologist, a graduate student to be exact, and his mentor is also a well-known Uyghur old man Professor Manhatti in the country.
As archaeologists, it is true that there are far fewer things to study in the Western Regions than in the interior. However, the Dunhuang Caves, the Salt Lake Dead City, alien ruins, and mysterious stone saucers make the Western Regions even more mysterious, and also make people reluctant to give up on this vast land.
It's been seven days since the desert became. The water in the team has begun to be rationed in limited quantities, and even if it is only a half-kettle supply per day, it will only last for two days at most. By the third day, the whole team would be in a desperate situation.
"Arathi, are you going in the right direction? How do I feel like we're going around in circles? Professor Manhatti, wiping his chapped lips from sweat, couldn't help but question the guide who had been silent.
"Don't worry! My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather lived in this desert all the time. Here only I, Arathi, can cross it, and here, I can smell the water when I close my eyes. I promise that if nothing happens, we will be able to replenish the water tonight. Arati said confidently,
This relieved Professor Manhatti slightly, not noticing that the confident guide was slapping himself in the mouth with his rough hand.
Deserts are unpredictable, and there is no fixed place for water sources. May is the monsoon season, and even the most experienced camels are generally reluctant to enter the desert at this time. Originally, Manhattan just wanted to take this group of Zixiu to go around the outer part of the desert. But luckily, a sandstorm completely made Arati lose his direction. Now I don't even know where I am, let alone how to find a water source.
The camel shook so much that I couldn't sleep at all. In a bump, Niu Xiaoyan unintentionally opened his eyes and suddenly found that not far away seemed to be a person standing on a sand dune. ”
"Teacher! Teacher! There's a guy there! Niu Xiaoyan wiped his eyes in disbelief and hurriedly shouted.
Manhattan looked over and immediately aroused his curiosity. Although Manhattan did not believe that the man found in the center of the desert would be alive, even a dried corpse would have a lot of research value.
"Arathi, let's go." Manhattan was immediately in command.
Arati was noncommittal, and he couldn't find a way out anyway, so it seemed good to satisfy his curiosity before dying.
When the caravan approached, the professor jumped down with his students with bright eyes, staring at the man in front of him, who was wearing cheap jeans, a pair of travel shoes, a t-shirt, and a ring of unknown material in his left hand. He looks like a young man in his twenties.
"Professor, he's still alive!" Niu Xiaoyan asked suspiciously, I really couldn't see that this person with a ruddy face, in addition to not being able to move, had anything to do with the dried corpse he came into contact with.
"Impossible! Must have died a long time ago! By the way, this is not a dry corpse, but a very cherished wet corpse. After death, keep the water and do not decay, even if it is left for more than ten years, it will not rot the corpse. Ah! Hurry up, get ready to protect the site! ”
"Ahh Before Professor Manhatti could finish speaking, he heard a scream from the female student in front of him, and then looked at the student facing him, and took several steps back.
My heart suddenly jumped up, could it be that my guess was wrong, I met a zombie today! No, zombies are afraid of the sun, so why do they make noise in broad daylight!
Manhattan felt his heart jump out of his chest, and Kanter's eyes dizzed as he turned slowly.
I touched my chin, although I didn't have time to take care of it during this time, but it wasn't so much, a smiling face could scare people out!
Just now, I was just sensing the change in the dragon veins in the desert. For a while, I didn't have time to pay attention to this group of people who were engaged in science. I also felt funny when I heard the professor's words, and I felt like a dead man. When he opened his eyes at the end of work, he directly scared a Uyghur scholar unconscious.
If there was a mirror, I would definitely take it out and see what I looked like. It's a pity that a big man who will go out with a mirror!
I stood up and wanted to leave helplessly, with a group of ordinary people, there was nothing to say, the meeting was just a passerby.
"Hu Da! You are sent by God, and Arati is your most faithful servant, the messenger of God, can you direct the direction of our water? ”
The guide, Arathi, suddenly rushed out and fell to the ground in pray.
I looked around, and it was clear that all of them were a little dehydrated. It seems that he encountered difficulties, and in line with the idea of saving people's lives and getting good results, he did not refuse.
As I felt the dragon vein, I had already sensed that the location of an underground river was not far away. Under the shroud of the soul realm, I came to a low-lying area, and the soul devouring sword in my hand slashed down.
Hula, the surging water column rises into the sky.
"Thank God! Thanks Allah! Thank you Huda! Arati fell to his knees and was religious.
This scene made the students, who had not yet woken up, fall into a stupor again.
A moment later, there was a cheer, and everyone rushed over, bathing under the water, pouring their hands into their mouths, letting the drops wet their bodies.
In the carnival crowd, Niu Xiaoyan couldn't help but grow his mouth and looked at a blank place. Just now, when people rushed over, the man with the sword suddenly disappeared in his eyes.
Immortals? This is the world, there are really immortals! If not, am I dreaming, are we all dreaming.
Stirred by the cold groundwater, Manhattan also woke up faintly. Seeing Niu Xiaoyan who was in a daze, he asked, "What's the matter, what happened just now!" By the way, what about that person? ”
looked around blankly, but didn't see the young man who was dressed very ordinarily, and wanted to ask Niu Xiaoyan, but Niu Xiaoyan was still in a daze, as if he had been completely closed by a strong stimulus.
After pouring two mouthfuls of water, Manhattan stood up and walked up to Arati, who was busy stockpiling water, and asked, "Arathi, I didn't dream just now!" Tell me if the dead have risen? ”
"My dear, Manhatti, you have learned as much as the stars in the sky. But you can't question God's power. It was not a dead man, it was the angel of God, who was sent by God to save us. You see, when we have water, we have the hope of getting out of this desert. No, under God's protection, we will be able to get out of this desert. Arati excitedly talked a lot and told him that the one who came to save them was God. Even if not, it is a messenger sent by God.
In Kunlun Mountain, along the mountain range, there have been many ancient civilizations, in the westernmost part of Kunlun Mountain, there is a mysterious ancient civilization, West Kunlun. The past is a woman, a beautiful and incomparable woman. The strange thing is that the world thinks that Queen Kunlun is the most beautiful, but no one has ever seen Queen Kunlun's face.
Even on the Dunhuang murals, there is the image of Queen Kunlun, which is still veiled.
Queen Kunlun became famous as early as 3,000 years ago. The First Emperor sent an envoy to the Western Regions to seek immortality. At that time, the Western Regions was a wild region, living on nomadism and hunting, and the people were fierce.
In this vast Western Plains, there are hundreds of tribes, large and small, and even a kingdom with a city.
The tribes and kingdoms are constantly fighting each other, but there is a holy place in their hearts, West Kunlun.
Legend has it that West Kunlun is in the westernmost part of Kunlun Mountain. Queen Kunlun is a goddess of God, as beautiful as the most beautiful flower. His countenance will never fail. She is the goddess who guards the Western Regions.
Naturally, the envoy sent by the First Emperor would not believe it, but he became interested in the goddess's unchanged appearance. So in the name of the first emperor, I went to meet the queen of Kunlun.
The meeting was undoubtedly very unpleasant. The envoy of the First Emperor believed that the Celestial Empire, and Western Kunlun should be surrendered at the feet of the Son of Heaven. As a courtier, Queen Kunlun should take off her veil, submit to the First Emperor, and offer the secret of immortality.
This undoubtedly moved the foundation of Western Kunlun, so the queen killed the envoy and called on the tribes of the Western Regions to be enemies of the first emperor for generations.
The First Emperor was furious and sent 30,000 of the most elite iron cavalry to conquer Western Kunlun. As a result, Xi Kunlun and the 30,000 iron horsemen all disappeared mysteriously.
This has become an unsolved mystery in history. No one knows where West Kunlun is. Thirty thousand iron horsemen have been seen by someone, and they have killed countless tribes along the way, and they are invincible. Coming from the east and disappearing into the western sky.
In the night, Manhatti, who was full of cultivation spirit, told the legend of West Kunlun with great interest, and his face was faintly excited and excited.
