Chapter 3: Ancient Books
I also know that Old Madam Chen also robbed tombs before, but her curse mark on Lu Wen is exactly the same as that of her grandfather and uncle, which we didn't expect at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
My father was even more puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the old lady has also been to Loulan's tomb?" ”
"Yes, that was thirty years ago." The old lady looked at the curse mark on her hand and replied.
If this kind of curse mark of Lu Wen is the same kind of curse as her grandfather, this old lady may not live long, and once she is hit by this curse mark, she basically knows that the time is running out in the future, and the reason why this old lady wants to find the dust bead is related to this curse mark.
Legend has it that the dust bead can not only make people cultivate and become enlightened, but also can relieve the curse and bad luck on the body, the old lady has been thinking about the dust bead, I am afraid that she is not willing to die in the curse like this, she is not like her grandfather and uncle They follow the nature, looking at the career she has worked hard for so many years, and the unfulfilled wish, this may be her concern for the world.
"Actually, I have always believed that my son is still in the world, if you can help me get the dust beads, I will be able to see my son in my lifetime, and I will be able to see my son after I die, but if the curse cannot be lifted, my time is not long, so I hope that I can live for a while, in order to see my son." The old lady's eyes glistened with tears, and she suddenly became sad.
"Since this is the case, we will try our best to help the old lady, but I don't know if the old lady got any news about Yun Chenzhu during her time in Xinjiang." The second uncle asked.
"Not really, except that there were many red snakes in the tomb, and the others were never seen again." The old lady replied, and the old lady thought about it, and her calloused hands would caress on the iron crutch, and the second uncle seemed to think of something when she said these words, and then asked us, "Do you also know the news of that tomb?" ”
At this time, my father sighed and returned to the old lady: "It's not a secret, old lady, Ji Ming's grandfather and several grandfathers were also cursed by this kind, and now they are gone!" My father glanced at me and bowed his head silently.
"Oh? You're saying they've been to that tomb too! ”
"Yes, it's just that we don't know where to go from that tomb now, these decades have passed, I'm afraid it has long been buried under the sand, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to find, and how long has this Lop Nur dried up? Xinjiang is notoriously dry, and you have to go into the desert to find traces of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. ”
Abu came out at this time and interjected: "Whatever! There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and since you can find the first time, this second time is not far away. ”
When the second uncle heard Abu say this, he immediately replied: "You kid said it easily, the ancient country of Loulan is in the desert, how easy is it to find it, this Lop Nur is also gone, where do you go to find the way in?" ”
"That's not my responsibility, hehe!" Abu laughed.
At this time, Xiao Zhi had already taken the ancient book and handed it to the old lady, the old lady opened one of the pages, looked at it twice, and then transferred it to the second uncle, and said: "Let's take a look, there are a few of them that say that this dust bead is related to the ancient country of Loulan!" ”
The second uncle took the book and looked at it, and said in surprise: "The ancient city is buried in the sand, Loulan no longer exists, and it is a desperate place to live, and it is not a bead of dust!" When I leaned over next, I saw that it was written: "Kunlun Divine Bridge leads to Loulan Ling Temple, and the bridge is now out of the palace!" And these things are all related to the statements of the king of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
"What does that mean?" I asked.
Seeing that we didn't understand, the old lady said: "I have asked someone to explain, what is said is that if Loulan Kingdom wants to survive in a desperate situation, it is inseparable from the dust beads!" This is also the reason why I said that the dust beads are connected to the ancient country of Loulan, and once the tomb of Kunlun appears, this tomb will also reappear in the world. ”
"That's not the time!" I was surprised.
At this time, the young master stood up from the bench and said, "Let's go!" Let's go back! As long as you arrive at the ivory house, this ancient tomb is easy to find! ”
"Ivory house?" We didn't know what this ivory house was.
After the master explained, we also understood a little, this ivory house is the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan that have been discovered, but the ruins of the ancient country of Loulan are far more than these.
There are many legends about this place in Loulan, there are two ruins of the ancient country of Loulan in this place in Xinjiang, which have been discovered, and there are countless that have not been excavated, such as the ivory house, this ruins are actually very grand, and the specifications of the building are also unusual, this is far away from the oasis with the ancient city buried in sand, which was once an important town of the ancient country, and what is recorded in this ancient book is the surrounding of this ivory house, so we just need to go here, eight or nine are not far from ten, maybe we can find this ancient tomb.
There have been expeditions to this place in the ancient country of Loulan, but these expeditions have not enough water and food, many people have died here, they have drunk human urine, camel urine, and even sheep blood, everything with water has been brought to drink, but after these experiences, they did not find the tomb in the end, and these people are all going for this dust bead if nothing else.
In the unreachable riparian forest belt of the Hotan River, these expeditions thought they saw hope, but they never thought that it was just a sea market, not only wasted a lot of time, but in the end they didn't even come out of the desert, because at that time the Hotan River was actually a season river, this discovery completely made them collapse and despair, almost gave up the desire to live, until they came out of the Tarilamakan Desert, a pool of water in the "Sea of Death" that did not dry up saved their lives.
Combined with these practical examples, we are still a little afraid to enter the desert, after all, we can't find any other professional tools besides camels.
After discussing with the old lady, the old lady persuaded the crow to go with us, saying that this matter could not be done without the crow, and after arriving in Xinjiang, many things may have to rely on the crow, the crow's ability to see the shape of the mouth, and the crow has also been in Xinjiang for a long time, so this trip must be indispensable to the crow.
The crow refused at first, after all, he is also eating and drinking spicy food now, how can he be in any mood to fight, but in the end, under the persuasion of the old lady and the second uncle, he finally agreed to go with him, and Wang Dashan and Li Sanyuan are naturally indispensable for this go.
What surprised us the most was that the old lady was going to follow, only to see him throw down the iron cane in his hand, and his waist pole actually stood up, and said: "Actually, the old woman, my body is still fine!" ”
Just as we were discussing when to leave, two people slowly walked in outside the door, and without permission, they went directly to the third floor and stood outside the door.
And that person was Zhang Yuntian, followed by Qianyu, his evil eyes stared at the inside of the door curtain, and said lightly: "How can this trip be without us?" ”
