Everyone flocked to the city, asking, "Since we can't find it, what are we doing here?" ”

Guan Zheng said: "You don't want to know why there is a magnetic storm in the center of the Rommy area. You don't want to know where people go when they disappear. You don't want to know what's here? ”

Everyone shook their heads in unison and said, "I don't want to!" ”

Guan Zheng sighed and said, "Forget it, you should think that this is the work of the task force." ”

Xu Jiuyan knew Guan Zheng very well, and asked, "Who are you fooling with this?" Which of these people here was not born and died with you? You tell us honestly, what the hell are you looking for? ”

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Guan Zheng's body, Guan Zheng took a deep breath and said, "I want to find the Lingtian Ancient Kingdom. ”

Guan Nuo asked in surprise, "Is it the Lingtian Ancient Kingdom in the northwest of Roermi?" ”

Guan Zheng nodded and said: "That's right, Lingtian Ancient Kingdom is a small country on the ancient Silk Road, located in the northwest of Roermi, at the hub of the Western Regions, the scope of the kingdom starts from the vicinity of Guyangguan in the east, to the ancient city of Niya in the west, to the Altun Mountain in the south, and to Hami in the north. It occupies an extremely important position on the ancient Silk Road. Today, only the remains of ruins remain. The Lingtian Ancient Kingdom was founded before 167 BC, but suddenly and mysteriously disappeared in 630 AD, with a history of more than 800 years.

According to the records of "Historical Records: The Biography of Dawan Lie" and "Hanshu - Biography of the Western Regions", as early as the 2nd century, Lingtian was a famous city in the Western Regions. It leads to Dunhuang in the east, Yanqi and Yuli in the northwest, and Ruoqiang and the end in the southwest. The north and south of the ancient Silk Road were separated from Lingtian. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Englishman Stein and others came here many times to steal and excavate. After the fifties, Chinese scholars conducted investigations and excavations.

Lingtian Gu was one of the 36 powerful countries in the Western Regions, adjacent to Dunhuang, and had a close relationship with the Han Dynasty after BC. The Lingtian Kingdom of the Han Dynasty, sometimes becoming the eyes and ears of the Xiongnu, sometimes attached to the Han, was between the two major forces of the Han and the Xiongnu, skillfully maintaining its political life. Because Lingtian was located in the communication fortress between the Han and the Western Regions, the Han could not cross this area to fight the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu could not threaten the Han Dynasty without pretending to use the power of Lingtian, and the Han and Xiongnu tried their best to implement a policy of softness towards Lingtian.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Zhang Qian, Marquis of Bowang, to envoy Dayue Clan, and the offensive and defensive alliance failed. After that, he sent a large army to crusade against the distant Dawan Kingdom, and sent envoys to the countries of the Western Regions many times. When these messengers passed through Lingtian, Lingtian was so overwhelmed by the burden that they killed the messengers. Emperor Wu of Han finally sent troops to attack Lingtian, and as a result, Prince Ling was sent to the Han Dynasty as a hostage as evidence of his submission. At the same time, Lingtian also sent a prince to the Xiongnu, indicating that he would strictly maintain neutrality between the Xiongnu and the Han.

After that, when the Han expeditionary army attacked a subject country of the Xiongnu, the king of Loulan passed through the Xiongnu and stationed the Xiongnu in the country, which angered the Han court. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once again sent troops to attack Lingtian, and approached the capital of the mud city, which made the king of heaven frightened, and immediately opened the city gate to apologize, and Emperor Wu asked him to monitor the movements of the Xiongnu. In 92 B.C., the king died, and the prince who was held hostage in the Han Dynasty returned to succeed him, but the prince was very sad and did not want to return to China easily, and his brother succeeded to the throne. The new king died not long after, and the Xiongnu took this opportunity to inherit the throne with the eldest son of the former king who had been a hostage in his own country.

In the following two or three years, there were no major incidents between the Han and the Xiongnu, and they were very stable on the surface. Lingtian's border is close to the Yumen Pass, and Han envoys often go to the Western Regions through this gate, and they have to pass through the desert called Bailongdui in Lingtian, where there is often wind, and the quicksand is swept into the air shaped like a dragon, and the pedestrians are lost, and the Han Dynasty constantly orders the Lingtian Kingdom to provide guides and drinking water, because the Han envoys repeatedly abuse the guides, Lingtian refuses to obey his orders, and the relationship between the two deteriorates. Emperor Zhao of Han eventually sent Fu Jiezi to assassinate the new king. Married a prince who was a hostage in the Han court, married a beautiful concubine, and sent back to Lingtian to inherit the throne. But the king trembled and feared assassination. Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty sent troops to garrison Tunlingtian in the name of protecting the king, thus gaining the initiative for the crusade against the Xiongnu and the Western Regions. After that, the power of the Han Dynasty weakened, and Lingtian went into decline again. This is the last record of Ling Tian in the history books. ”

"Then you mean that Peng Jiadi and the disappearance of these people have something to do with the Lingtian Gu Kingdom?" Xu Jiuyan asked.

Guan Zheng didn't nod or shake his head, and said, "I can't tell you clearly, but isn't it strange that so many people suddenly disappeared?" And it's closely related to the rumors in the Rommy region, we should try it, and that's where all the clues point to. ”

"Wait a minute!" Guan Nuo stopped everyone and said, "Did you just say a White Dragon Desert?" ”

Guan Zheng asked, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Guan Nuo said: "Bailongdui Yadan is one of the three major Yadan groups in Roermi, and it is also one of the famous Roermi landscapes. The earthen platform of the white dragon pile is made of gravel, gypsum mud and salt alkali, the color is gray-white, and when there is sunlight, it will also reflect a little silver light, like a scale armor, so it is called the white dragon by the ancients this vast Yadan group. From a distance, the white dragon pile is like a group of white dragons cruising in the sand sea, the white back appears and disappears in the waves, the head and tail are linked, boundless, and the momentum is magnificent.

Bailongdui is often mentioned in the history books, it is located in the north of Luoermi, is a saline-alkali land soil platform group, stretching for nearly 100 kilometers, the ancient Silk Road into the middle of Luormi passed through the Bailongdui, until the Tang Dynasty there are still merchants passing through. The White Dragon Pile is often depicted in history books as a very sinister area, a metaphor for ghosts and monsters. In fact, Bailongdui is still a dangerous no-man's land today, in the hot climate, the environment is very harsh, the people passing through this place have generally used up most of the supplies, if there are several days of sandstorms, people will be trapped, either starvation or thirst to death, so every year from June to August, ordinary people will not enter this area. ”

Liang Yien asked incredulously: "So what you want to say is that we are now on the White Dragon Desert?" ”

Guan Nuo nodded and said, "Yes, according to our positioning and terrain analysis, it is like this. ”

Guan Zheng was not nervous at all, and said: "The current situation is very optimistic, we have enough food and water, as well as a reconnaissance environment, and the organization has provided us with a lot of guarantees, as long as there is a need, the helicopter can immediately support, so you don't have to worry." Let's take a walk and see what the hell is going on in this land that can bury an ancient city. ”
