Xue Xinrou is far more calm than Tian Ji, and it can be seen from the fact that she chose to meet here that there is a passage in and out of Wangjiang Tower, and people up and down can see it clearly, and we don't have to worry about being overheard when we talk on it.

"What are you doing in Lop Nur?" I dragged Tian Ji behind me, lest he say too much and lose it, and at the same time politely stretched out his hand to Xue Xinrou.

"I want to investigate the geology of Lop Nur." Xue Xinrou shook hands with me and answered fluently.

She replied too freely, as if she had already thought of a response, and her expression was very calm, but except for Tian Ji, Gong Jue and I didn't believe her answer.

"Lop Nur is an endless Gobi desert, and there is no grass, not even birds can cross that desert, what geological needs you to investigate there?" The palace lord is not polite and goes straight to the point.

"You don't need to know this, I will pay you to lead the way, and when you get to the place I designate, you will help me dig." Xue Xinrou replied very simply, and found that I was still holding her hand, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"You're not going to survey the soil, you're going to dig the grave, it seems that you're still a peer, I didn't expect that there are tomb robbers abroad, you say, you look very beautiful, what are you not doing well, but you want to be a soil mouse." I still didn't let go of her hand, and the field chicken next to me had been poking me in the back for a long time.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Xue Xinrou's face was shocked, and she wanted to break free from me in a panic.

I let go of her hand, looked at Xue Xinrou and said seriously, a girl like her should pay attention to maintenance, I deliberately shook her hand and found that there were calluses on it, and it was the same as mine, it was caused by the wear and tear of the probe shovel for a long time.

There may not be a shovel in foreign countries, but the most convenient way to dig a grave is a shovel, which is much the same, not to mention that she specified that someone who wants to have experience in tomb robbery will take her to Lop Nur.

"I don't care if you are exploring the soil or robbing the tomb or something else, Lop Nur is known as the Sea of Death, and if you go in, there will be more than one luck, since you plan to find someone to go with you, it is a life of life, not mutual trust, no one will take you there." I looked directly at Xue Xinrou, and her words were very sincere. "When we meet for the first time, we don't expect you to be honest with each other, but at least we have to know what you want to do when you go to Lop Nur, to put it mildly, no one will know if the three of us bury you in Lop Nur, if you don't worry, we don't care."

"Don't listen to him scare you, we might bury you." Tian Ji jumped out and dismantled the stage, for fear that I would scare Xue Xinrou away. "The three of us are not bad people, we have to make friends and understand each other before we can walk together."

Gong Jue pulled me and Tian Ji downstairs, looking at Xue Xinrou's hesitation, if she refused to tell the truth, let alone 10,000 green backs, no one would dare to go if she doubled it.

"Wait."

We walked to the staircase and were stopped by Xue Xinrou, and we looked back to see her sighing heavily.

"I didn't have much hope, I just wanted to solve the mystery of my grandfather, and since you said so, I can tell you why I went to Lop Nur."

We turned back, Xue Xinrou paused silently for a moment, took a deep breath and told us that their family went to the United States before liberation, when Xue Xinrou was very young, her grandfather suddenly returned to China, but when he was sent back, the whole person was delirious, and he didn't get better, as if he was seriously stimulated, and he was sent to the hospital for examination and found that there was no disease at all, and the doctor couldn't explain why this situation happened.

In the following time, Xue Xinrou's grandfather was like Alzheimer's, until one day twenty years ago, Xue Xinrou suddenly found that her grandfather was awake at home, and he repeatedly said vague words in his mouth, looking extremely excited.

But when asked where he had been and what had happened, Xue Xinrou's grandfather couldn't remember anything, and just one day later, he was delirious again, returning to his previous confusion, until he finally died of depression.

"So I'm curious to know what happened to my grandfather when he came back home." Xue Xinrou said.

"So, your grandfather must have met with something in Lop Nur." The soft voice of the field chicken was relieved.

"My grandfather didn't go to Lop Nur." Xue Xinrou shook her head.

"I didn't ...... Didn't go to Lop Nur? The palace lord was stunned. Your grandfather hasn't been to that place, so you can find out what you can do if you go. ”

"Do you know where your grandfather went?" I asked.

"I don't know, when I grew up, I found a letter in my grandfather's things, there was nothing on it, only a picture and an address and the time of meeting, and later my grandmother told me that my grandfather returned to China after receiving this letter."

"What picture?" Gong Jue asked curiously.

"It's a winged dragon." Xue Xinrou replied calmly.

……

The three of us looked at each other, but I was not sure, so I hurriedly asked Xue Xinrou what the address left in the letter was, and Xue Xinrou replied that it was an address in Golmud.

"The time agreed in that letter is April 28, 1942!" I asked, shocked.

"You...... How do you know the time in the letter?! Xue Xinrou looked at me in surprise.

Of course, we know that this date is seen from the notes left by the professor in the Kunlun Golden Gate, and it is clear that Xue Xinrou's grandfather is also one of the twelve people who went to the Kunlun Golden Gate forty years ago to receive a mysterious invitation.

I've always wondered what was written on the invitation to recruit the best people in various fields, but now I have finally solved my doubts, just a feathered dragon, this simple message reveals two things.

First, the twelve people who were invited all understood what the pattern of the feather dragon represented, they were all people who knew the existence of the Nine Dragons Boat of the Moon Palace, and the greatest and most magical archaeological discovery of all time written by the professor in his notes did not refer to the tomb of the Yellow Emperor, but to the Nine Dragons of the Moon Palace that might appear in the Kunlun Golden Gate.

Second, the person who sent this invitation letter obviously knew Kunlun Jinque very well, and knew the exact location, and it is not difficult to see from the professor's notes that these twelve people were brought to Kunlun Jinque by a mysterious recruiter, but the question is, since this person knows the location of Kunlun Jinque, why did he gather so many people to go together?

"You haven't answered me yet, how do you know the time mentioned in the letter?" Xue Xinrou asked anxiously.

"What did your grandfather do?" Gong Jue asked.

"Professor of Archaeology, Department of History."

...... "I frowned." Your grandfather is from Nankai University? ”

Xue Xinrou was even more shocked and speechless, but nodded in shock.

I glanced at each other with Gong Jue and Tian Ji, but I didn't expect such a coincidence that we would meet the descendants of Kunlun Jinque forty years ago.

I asked Xue Xinrou to go back with us, in the house in the east of the city, I took out the yellowed photo and put it in front of Xue Xinrou, she recognized the person in the photo at a glance, and asked us in surprise how we had a photo of his grandfather.

It seems that we have made a mistake in Kunlun Jinque, the corpses found in the ice cave are not the professor's, presumably those people lost their satchels and notes when they were attacked by ice lizards in the ice cave.

He was the one who left alive from Kunlun Jinque, and as for why he suddenly became delirious, we don't know, so I took out the notebook and handed it to Xue Xinrou's hand.

"This is your grandfather's thing, he went to Kunlun Mountain after returning to China, where he found the mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, there is your grandfather's diary in this notebook, you put it away."

Xue Xinrou was speechless in shock, took the note with a trembling hand, we didn't bother her, sat quietly and waited for Xue Xinrou to finish reading the note, Xue Xinrou cried excitedly while watching, it should be to solve the mystery left by her grandfather that made her feel a lot of emotion.

"How did you get my grandfather's notes?" Xue Xinrou asked after reading it.

"Anyway, the old man is a senior, we are related to him, we have been to Kunlun Jinque, and accidentally found this notebook, which seems to be destined for us to bring back and hand it over to you." Tian Ji explained in a sincere tone.

Xue Xinrou stood up gratefully and bowed to us, leaving the three of us at a loss.

"Don't be so polite, it's just that the thing is returned to its original owner." Tian Ji also stood up, helpless.

"I've always wanted to figure out what happened to my grandfather after he returned to China, and now I finally know part of it......" Xue Xinrou stopped halfway through speaking, and stopped talking.

Looking at Xue Xinrou's expression, she didn't seem to have said anything, and I frowned and smelled in surprise: "No, your grandfather went to Kunlun Mountain, and before you met us, you didn't know where your grandfather had been, so why did you go to Lop Nur?" ”

"Yes, you said you wanted to solve the mystery left by your grandfather, so what are you doing in Lop Nur?" The palace lord should also be aware of this problem.

Xue Xinrou pursed her lips and hesitated, looking at her hesitant appearance, there must be something she didn't want to tell us.

"It's okay, forget if it's inconvenient, this notebook can be returned to its original owner, and we will also count it as a merit, Lop Nur is so barren, you better not go." Tian Ji looked a little and hurriedly opened the topic.

"Thank you very much for bringing back grandpa's notes and giving them to me, you are right, since everyone is similar, we should be honest with each other, it's not that I'm hiding anything, but I don't want to implicate you." Xue Xinrou pondered for a moment, looked up at us, and said sincerely.

"Implicated, hehe." I looked at Gongjue and Tian Ji, leaned back in the chair lazily and laughed disapprehantly. "The three of us have enough trouble, and it's not too much for you."

Xue Xinrou was silent for a long time, put down the notes in his hand and looked at us with a calm and stern expression.

"What I'm going to tell you next, there are no more than ten people in this world who know, the source is NASA ......"

"What? What's that? What is NASA? ”

"What are you doing?" The door was pushed open, Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly came in, and saw Xue Xinrou with some doubts. She ...... Who is she and why is she in your room? ”

"Why are you here, don't mess up when the adults talk about business, go back first and I'll look for you when it's empty." I didn't expect Ye Zhiqiu to come back suddenly, so I pushed her out.

"Hello, my name is Xue Xinrou." Xue Xinrou politely stretched out her hand to greet Ye Zhiqiu.

"You, what are you doing, how did you end up in his room?" Ye Zhiqiu's voice was inexplicably hostile.

"Go back first, and I'll explain to you later." I blocked in front of Ye Zhiqiu, but I couldn't push her.

"Yo, you've got a lot of skills, you robbed the tomb and even stole it to NASA." Ye Zhiqiu glared at me. "Explain, you owe me less explanation, you've been mysterious lately, I'm not going to leave today, but I want to hear what you've been doing all this time."

"She's just like that, don't worry about her, you go on, what the hell was that NASA just now?" Tian Ji gave Xue Xinrou a smile.

"NASA is an abbreviation for National AeronauticsandSpaceAdministration." Ye Zhiqiu walked past me and sat down on his toes.

"Tell me something you can understand." I know I can't screw her. "It's not just a string of English, look at you."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at us proudly and unhurriedly.

"NASA."
