The wind and sand in the winter of Saibei tear the sky and the earth, wrapping the world in the dusk.

The camel bell is crisp, and a team of camels walks slowly with unhurried steps in the wind and sand.

This animal, which has lived in the desert for generations, has long been accustomed to such windy and sandy weather, but it is too difficult for the people who ride on the backs of camels.

Gao Tianxin was wearing a thick cotton jacket, a felt hat, and a turban to wrap his face tightly, but his head was still covered with yellow sand, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the sand.

Since opening the box of the meridian chain buckle that day, the trio of Captain Touching Jin, Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi and Shirley Yang, have led the crowd to the north.

But this era can be described as a war and chaos, the further you go north, the more the people's livelihood withers, all the way, full of ragged clothes to help the old and the young fleeing the famine.

The Manchu and Qing dynasties expropriated violently, not to mention the already poor peasant families, and even those who had thin fields had no choice but to fall into extreme poverty, and they quickly died and were pulled down.

"Sir, we can't go far further on, it's Dunhuang County, Gansu, are we sure we want to go to Mogao Grottoes?" At this moment, a strange voice sounded behind him.

The weird thing is that in this kind of environment where opening his mouth is equivalent to eating sand, this guy still dares to be loud, and there is a sense of superiority and deliberate pretense in his voice.

Needless to say, it was the man who interjected before, Renaud, who was not used to stay abroad, Shirley Yang, who was not used to stay abroad, he was a standard foreigner who couldn't see the calendar. He speaks fluent Chinese. This is almost inconceivable in this day and age......

Of course. That was Gao Tianxin's initial doubt, until he saw the heraldic mark on Renault's shoulder, everything was solved!

This guy is from space.

He's actually a reincarnation!

And now, Gao Tianxin has become the plot character Hu Bayi, who was mixed into the team by a reincarnation, isn't this the rhythm of "I'm sorry, I'm an NPC"?

While Gao Tianxin was more interested in this so-called "third layer of dreams", he also became vigilant. It's not a joke to capsize in the gutter, if you are pitted by this reincarnation who thinks he is noble but is actually in an alienated level, it is called a tragedy.

However, he still had to answer, and he said in a hoarse voice: "This ancient box was originally a thing of the Xixia Palace, and it has a lot to do with the Mogao Grottoes. ”

Renaud nodded, reluctantly whipped the camel's buttocks, and rode away, followed by two retinues.

Gao Tian watched his back. patted the sleepy little girl in his arms.

Take a short rest in Dunhuang County, and then go southeast more than 20 kilometers. Looking east at the cliff at the eastern foot of Mingsha Mountain, a Buddha cave is finally in sight, the distribution is high and low, the rows are one after another, there are five layers up and down, it is the famous tourist attraction Mogao Grottoes in later generations.

In fact, with the abandonment of the Silk Road after the Yuan Dynasty, the Mogao Grottoes have gradually disappeared in the world's field of vision, until a Taoist priest accidentally found the cave in the cave, which became famous, and there are more than 50,000 pieces of scripture books in the cave, which can be described as a treasure trove for studying the history of the Western Regions.

Most of the documents unearthed in the Mogao Grottoes are written in manuscripts, a small number are engraved copies, and about five-sixths of them are written in Chinese scripts, and the others are ancient Tibetan, Sanskrit, Uighur, Qiuzi and so on, except for the Tangut script.

Judging from the documents unearthed in the cave, the latest was written in the Northern Song Dynasty, so the world deduces that the Tibetan scripture cave was closed by the monks of Mogao Grottoes before and after the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty in order to avoid the Western Xia army and prepare to flee.

If this ancient box is really inferred by A-Ning to be the object of the Xixia Palace, then there may be important clues in the Mogao Grottoes.

Who is Anin?

Well, it is not a tomb robbery note, but the little girl's name is A-Ning.

This confident and calm child in the fourth layer of dreams seems to have completely brought into the identity of Hu Bayi's little apprentice, and all the original memories have been forgotten......

In other words, what is the origin of the plot characters in the space, it is very scary to think about it!

Of course, what is even more terrifying may be the contents of the box, the "flower on the other side"!

To get back to the point, at this time, she had slept enough in Gao Tianxin's arms, her big black eyes opened, and she suddenly pointed towards the sky: "Look, what a beautiful morning glow!" ”

Gao Tianxin and the big golden-toothed Shirley Yang on the side looked at each other, the red morning glow was indeed beautiful, but for some reason, a sense of uneasiness that belonged to the ghost blowing the lamp poured into his heart......

Afraid of what to come, seeing that the destination was waving to his group in the distance, the camel on the horse began to stir inexplicably, and its nose fluttered rapidly, as if it was afraid of something, and refused to move forward no matter how much it was whipped.

After that, every hour passed, the camels were completely out of control, wide-eyed and panting, foaming at the mouth, and running like crazy, unable to pull back.

Originally, riding on the back of a camel and moving slowly, A-Ning could sleep comfortably, but when they ran with such strength, they were so bumpy that they could even vomit their stomachs.

Although they all have the experience of a long journey, or have long known the horror of crossing the Gobi, they also slammed into a fierce zero, ignoring each other, and seeing the horror on each other's faces.

Gao Tianxin swept back, and saw that several of Shirley Yang's subordinates were still struggling with camels, so he hurriedly shouted: "Loosen the reins, run by the camels, just be careful not to fall behind, the big storm is coming, go quickly!" ”

Wang Fatzi shouted loudly: "Let's go!! ”

Before the words fell, I felt a light breeze gradually rising, wisps of fine sand hitting my face with a faint pain, and the sky in the distance had turned dark yellow!

At this time, everyone knew that something was wrong, and they no longer cared about the camel's strength and whipped hard.

Racing against nature, competing with heaven and earth, everyone endured the discomfort, sprinted wildly, turned a sand mountain, and suddenly a broken wall suddenly appeared in front of them, like an abandoned ancient city.

Except for Gao Tianxin, who silently recited the name of the Exquisite Ancient City, the rest of the people were overjoyed. They greeted each other and entered the city. I just got in. Outside, the wind is howling, and the yellow sand covers the sky......

A big storm is coming!

Shirley Yang listened carefully, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief and raised her eyebrows: "We are on the brink of a big storm here. The storm moves so fast that it will pass in a moment. ”

The rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, and after this thrill, everyone's faces were even more yellow, and they didn't know whether they were frightened or dyed by the yellow sand.

Even more disadvantageous. There was a wild run just now, and every camel was sweating profusely, and its physical strength was exhausted, and it was impossible to walk a long way.

Gao Tianxin was very calm, hugged A-Ning, found a sheltered place, set up a tent under the remnant wall, instructed the camels to form a circle around the tent, and then assigned a group of dragons who didn't give their names to pull some artemisia grass to start the fire.

By this time, the others had already begun to observe their surroundings and would soon report back. It turns out that this place is not an abandoned ancient city, but a pile of strange rocks formed by nature......

The sand grains here are blue-gray. The craggy and strange stones, more than ten zhang high, three or four zhang of the short ones, at first glance, the streets, buildings, squares are readily available, but in fact it is a masterpiece of nature, a ghostly workmanship.

A-Ning's strength explained that this is due to the long-term violent erosion of the wind, which swept away the soft sand and soil and stones here, because the ground was eroded into regular gullies by the wind and sand, and the hard soil and stone layers became hills of varying heights, and were carved into a shape that resembled objects and people like knives and axes.

After speaking, A-Ning sighed regretfully: "If this is really an ancient city that has never been discovered, then it will be done!" ”

Gao Tianxin knocked on her little head with a smile, and swept her eyes, but found that several people came over, one of them holding a pile of wood chips in his arms.

Since it is not a real ancient city, in this vast Gobi, there is almost no grass, where did you get these wood chips?

I didn't need to ask, Wang Fatzi's loud voice was questioned, and those tricks took advantage of the opportunity to show their faces and squeaked and refused to speak, until Shirley Yang came over, and then they spoke:

"We found a few coffins in front, anyway, people die like lights out, they don't need these things anymore, it's better to split them to keep us warm......"

"I'll go, dare to split the coffin to make a fire in the world of ghosts blowing out the lamp, you can live for another ten minutes, and the next blockbuster will be the protagonist!"

High Heavenly Heart

A-Ning became interested, "The form of the tombs of ethnic minorities in the Western Regions is very different from other places, anyway, there is a big storm outside, and we can't go out, so it's better to go and have a look." ”

So the dragon set led the way, turned a few boulders, and soon came to the place where the coffin was found.

It is indeed a large cemetery, scattered and scattered, with about 100 coffins standing half-hidden and half-exposed in an open space.

These coffins were originally buried deep in the ground, but because of the strong wind and sand here, the floating soil hidden on the coffins was blown away, and they were revealed, but the difference is that these coffins were buried vertically, which should be a special local belief and custom.

Most people, including Gao Tianxin, thought so, but A-Ning's delicate brows furrowed.

Gao Tianxin is more concerned about what this gang of dead guys did, this look, good guys, the three coffins have been smashed, and the skeletons inside have been thrown everywhere by the dragon trap, and the one who ordered it was actually Renault!

Shirley Yang was very angry when she saw it, but Renault, who was stared at by her, didn't change his face and didn't feel guilty at all.

A-Ning stepped forward, picked a few times on a coffin with his fingernails, and judged: "These coffins are thousands of years old, they are made of ordinary wood, and there are no ornaments on the coffins, they should be the burial grounds of ancient civilians." ”

The big gold tooth also came up and said strangely: "I said that there is no shop in front of the village and no store behind the village, and there are no urban relics, how can there be such a large civilian cemetery buried here?" ”

A-Ning shook his head: "That may go back to the Silk Road, there were dozens of countries, and some small cities also became their own country, with different customs and habits, and the yellow sand is thousands of miles, I don't know how many historical ...... have been buried."

Everyone sighed when they heard this, but Renault smiled: "It is precisely because we want to understand the truth that has disappeared in the long river of history that we have to open these coffins, maybe there will be a discovery!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to one of his attendants and commanded, "You get on!" ”

The attendant shoveled away the sand with a shovel, pulled out a coffin and put it flat on the ground, and was about to open the coffin, but it was Shirley Yang who stopped him: "It's so dangerous, in order to prevent tomb robbery, there are often hidden weapons such as bows, crossbows, poison arrows and other hidden weapons in the coffin to hurt people, even civilians are inevitable, it's not a big mistake to be careful." ”

Who knew that the foreign entourage who followed Renault did not know the hearts of good people, smiled contemptuously when he heard this, and inserted the shovel into the gap of the coffin lid, with a slight force, and clicked.

The coffin of hundreds of years ago was exposed to the surface of the earth for so long, and the wood was already brittle, and several long cracks immediately opened around the coffin.

"To die!"

Just when Gao Tianxin was silently reciting the divine mantra, a sudden change occurred!

The most likely foreign dragon trick in the blockbuster has not yet touched the coffin lid, and the coffin lid suddenly flew up on its own, popping out seven or eight feet away, and a figure inside roared and bounced up!

"Ahh

A terrible howl sounded, everyone was shocked, dodging around, Gao Tianxin watched coldly, and found that the fastest reaction was indeed Renault, and instantly pulled out a gun and aimed at the figure that popped up in the coffin.

And this shot is also the culprit of the scream, because that shot actually penetrated the body of the foreign dragon and hit it again.

Gao Tianxin made a fuss in his stomach, and A-Ning couldn't help it: "What are you doing, it's a dried corpse, not a zongzi!" ”

Everyone looked at it, only to find that sitting up from the coffin was a hideous dried corpse, with collapsed facial features, eyes and nostrils turned into black holes, purple dry skin wrapped in bones, hands stretched forward flat, motionless......

And that innocent foreign dragon trick has already swallowed his breath!

After standing there for a moment, all the people who witnessed this scene looked at Renault with disgust, but he didn't care, blew the muzzle of the gun, and said in an unknown language: "Stupid NPC, it's good to be dead!" ”

Gao Tianxin accepted this flagg, but saw A-Ning leaning over first, and after careful observation, he analyzed: "This person was buried alive." ”

As soon as she said it, a few bold people looked closely, and found that the ten fingers of the dried corpse were bald, and the coffin lid was marked with messy marks made by fingernails, so it can be inferred that he was still alive when he was locked in the coffin, and he couldn't stop struggling inside, trying to push open the coffin lid to escape.

In this way, he maintained his posture before he died, and the air pressure and humidity in the coffin were different from the outside world, so as soon as the foreign dragon set opened, he couldn't wait to "jump" out.

But why was this man buried alive here?

If this is the site of an ancient massacre, dig a pit and fill it, there will be no coffins at all, if this is a burial pit, there will be no tombs and other burial goods of nobles......

"Perhaps the answer is here, sir." At this moment, A Ning suddenly handed over a piece of something, Gao Tianxin played with it, and knew that it was a piece on the coffin lid, and there were a few shallow dents on it, although it was a concise line, but it faintly formed a blooming lotus flower.

The flower on the other side of the two worlds that connects the virtual and the real!

Here's the clue! (To be continued.) )
