I believe that the happiness of the world will never stay in one place for long, because the former powerful city-state has now become obscure, or even disappeared; And even the city-states that are now strong were very weak in the past, these are all things I need to talk about, or you may wonder if my grandmother was beautiful when she was young, and whether she spent a romantic time on the steppe when she was young, but that's not what I'm talking about here.

My ancestor was the king of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and after thousands of years of changes, his family has declined, and he can only write some articles to eat.

According to the current map, these large and small city-states of the Western Regions are located between Gansu Province and the western part of Xinjiang, and these city-states are located between the 2nd and 14th centuries. During this period, the time of the Central Plains premises was from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty.

After my ancestors left the ancient country of Loulan, they went to Chang'an to study, settled in Chang'an, and multiplied in Guanzhong for a generation, and then in the early Ming Dynasty, my ancestors settled in Beijing, and then went to Shanxi under the big locust tree, and finally began to immigrate from under the big locust tree. He began to cultivate the earth for generations.

In my childhood, my grandfather often took a few volumes of the ancestral Dunhuang testament in a broken manuscript "Dunhuang Middle Ages" scripture volume, telling me some legendary stories of the Western Regions, in this medieval mystery city parchment scroll scriptures, each city-state has a mysterious ice relic, is the treasure of the town, these ice relics are brought back by Xuanzang, at that time it was rumored that the mysterious ice relics won the world.

The reason is that the ice relics are fused with the mysterious springs of the ancient countries, according to legend, once in these small city-states in western China, are built on water, the mysterious power of these ice relics can attract the rivers that melt from the glaciers of Kunlun Mountain, so once the ice relics are destroyed, they will lose the supply of spring water, and once the nomads have no source of water, it is equivalent to the country has no food, and it completely collapses.

The second reason is the opening of the Silk Road at that time, the commercial trade between the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty continued to increase, and these city-states in the Western Regions launched annexation wars in order to compete for the initiative in trade.

The third reason is that the princess of Loulan was snatched away by the knight corps of the elite country when she was playing with the royal maids in Lop Nur and became pregnant, laying the groundwork for this war.

The city-states of the Western Regions are all relatives, just like the division of the Western aristocratic world and the Han Dynasty, but after a long time, they did not recognize each other, began to encroach on each other, and the war continued, Xuanzang brought a total of 37 relics when he came back from India, except for the people of the countries along the way, the remaining one was brought back and buried under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but these countries waged war against each other for ice relics until they disappeared at a certain time...... But I heard my grandfather say that as long as you find these ice houses, you can reopen the secrets of these mysterious cities in the Western Regions, or you can get some treasures and so on.

Grandpa told me these stories in my childhood, at that time just as the story of "Dunhuang Middle Ages" to listen, but also often to my table Liu Shiyi to tell Liu Shiyi, Liu Shiyi is my second grade wife, she is very beautiful, just like a fairy tale princess, I was originally called Hao Qigong, but she called me Brother Bullet, because whenever the school bell rings, I rush out of the classroom like a bullet to chop firewood for grandpa, my family is too poor, my parents are gone, only grandpa is there, and grandpa is old, it is inconvenient to go up the mountain to chop wood, It's up to me.

When I was a child, I told Liu Shiyi that when I grew up, I must find an ice relic to marry her, and she called me Brother Bullet very openly.

When my grandfather died, when I showed me this broken copy of "The Middle Ages of Dunhuang", I realized that the stories that my grandfather told me when I was a child were all real, and in order to fulfill my grandfather's last wish and my commitment to Liu Shiyi, I began a 20-year-long, untold story......

In July 1995, the night on the eve of graduation of Jiangbei College was full of parting emotions, many senior male and female students began to throw beer bottles, and a group of men and women took off their clothes on the playground and ran and shouted, commemorating the wonderful moment on the eve of graduation.

In 1995, at the age of 21, I was about to say goodbye to this university, and at this moment I was hugging my girlfriend Liu Shiyi, who I had been in elementary school, sitting on the hill behind the school, looking at the school that had condensed our relationship for four years.

Holding her at this time, I can still remember my promise when I was a child, but I still can't afford to marry her now, and I suddenly have a sense of inferiority and loss in my heart.

The mountain behind our school is a place where couples often hang out, and there are also school inspectors who come to check, so many people's love is spent in this panic.

At this moment, Liu Shiyi suddenly broke away from my embrace and whispered, "Brother Bullet, if you want it, I am willing now." ”

Liu Shiyi and I have been together since elementary school and college, that is to say, I have watched her change from a little beauty to a school flower, she has me in her youth, and she has her in my youth. But we haven't really had that kind of thing yet, so at this time, my heart suddenly became very nervous, afraid of being discovered by the school's inspection team, but Liu Shiyi suddenly took out a rubber sleeve from her bag and tried to unzip my pants.

In a hurry, I grabbed Li Yingyi's hand and said, "Shiyi, I want to wait until I get the Buddha beads to do this, okay?" ”

In fact, after graduation, I want to return to work in the west and fulfill the promise I made to Liu Shiyi in my childhood.

In 1995, there were not many college students at that time, so according to the policy at that time, it was assigned, and after my efforts and negotiations with the school, in the end, Liu Shiyi and I were finally assigned together, and we had decided to teach in an elementary school in the west. By the way, I'm going to find the secret of those scriptures left by my grandfather, because I majored in Dunhuang suicide notes in college.

Dunhuang Studies, Weizhou Studies, and Tibetan Studies are known as the three major Xianxue, and the so-called Xianxue is the influential historical culture in the real social and cultural aspects.

In the face of Liu Shiyi's hasty actions and thoughts, I couldn't accept this in this grove for a while.

"Then I'll wait for you." Liu Shiyi looked at me as if it was the last time, and I knew that the next day, I would be leaving school.

At that time, as one of the best students of our college, I was going to work in some good cultural and archaeological units in big cities, but I refused, and some of the other students chose to work in government departments, and some went to academics, but I kept thinking about the book "Dunhuang Middle Ages" handed down from my ancestors, and I wanted to apply what I had learned to find those lost ancient civilizations and passwords.

Originally, Liu Shiyi was not ready to go with me because of the opposition of her family, especially when I was assigned to the Great West, their family was fully opposed, on the one hand, they were worried that Liu Shiyi would suffer if she went to the west, and on the other hand, their family objected to me and Liu Shiyi having a partner, in fact, their family had already bought a ticket for her to work in the United States. In order to prevent Liu Shiyi from suffering with me, I also persuaded her not to follow me, hoping that she would go to the United States for development.

However, as soon as I was driving the truck out of Yangguan, she appeared in the middle of the road, with her arms outstretched, shouting that she wanted to go west with me, and I didn't know why she began to sneak up with me.
