The situation in front of us is so spectacular that words can't express it at all, and we are all stunned, although Wen Jin's notes mention such an oasis, but my impression should not be like this.

The basin is very large, and it looks very neat, and the fat man actually looks like a crater. Looking down from the cliff, you can only see the smoke below, almost all of which is a dense canopy, and you can't see the specific situation.

This should be the Talmuda, but I didn't expect that we found it in such a way, it seems a little too simple.

Panzi reversed the car, and we looked at the basin with binoculars while wondering what was going on.

Pan Zi said: "It seems that the rock mountain when the lord Zhuoma and Wenjin were separated has indeed disappeared, this is the salt cover area, maybe it is a rock mountain, for decades, a few rains will leave a dirt bag, but along the direction of the river, you can still find here." ”

I can't know that these Wenjin notes are written, but now that we have discovered this oasis, we are a little overwhelmed, so I asked Pan Zi what his plans were.

Pan Zi said that he must go down to see first, he listened to me and the message of the master Zhuoma, and knew that Wen Jin must be below, saying that he couldn't wait for the third master to meet now, and he had to go directly to see the situation, Wen Jin was the master's wife, if he missed the master because of waiting for the third master, he didn't have to be a guy anymore, and time was running out.

I said in my heart that you are really a subordinate of twenty-four filial piety, but I also think so, time is running out. Counting it, ten days is almost in front of me, I asked a few people, and there was no opinion, so they let me see it. How should this basin get in.

There is a detailed description of the route in the Wen Jindi notes, and they entered the basin through a canyon back then. However, the landscape has completely changed, and it seems that the canyon cannot be found according to her route description, so we can only drive around the basin to search, and after several twists and turns, we finally found a wide large isthmus

Panzi made a big circle, and about four kilometers in the basin, he found the junction of the canyon, and the first section can be driven. We went all the way in. Until a rocky block the way.

Then a few people got out of the car, picked up their equipment and walked forward. I didn't stop until I saw the trees. I picked up Wenjin's notebook and carefully read the records inside.

After reading the notes, I couldn't help but feel a little weak.|Netizen upload #39; #39; #39|From the events recorded in Wenjin's notes, it can be inferred that this canyon is very dangerous. The canyon goes further because of the reduced altitude. Tropical vegetation is thick, miasma is pervasive, and our gas surface may not be able to cope with such a cháo wetland environment, and this is the only entrance to the West Queen Mother's Palace, what happened along the way. It makes me feel that the West Queen Mother Palace is very weird. I don't think it will be so easy.

In contrast, though, my biggest concern was what would happen after I crossed the canyon. At the end of the canyon is the heart of the oasis. It is a place where rivers meet, and the dense canopy under the valley is full of cháo wet swamps, and the strange landscape here almost forms a tropical rainforest in the Gobi. Although we know that the ancient royal city of the Queen Mother of the West is somewhere in the swamp, searching it is almost a matter of life.

We looked at the general route of Wen Jin in his notes in detail under the shade of the trees in the canyon ground, because we did not enter the swamp field, many places were confused, and Wen Jin drew question marks in many places, we did not know what these question marks represented, which made us very difficult. In the end, it can only be decided that one step at a time is one step.

After that, we each made preparations, and when we searched, we knew that the road ahead was long, and we had to control our material consumption, and now we were going to enter the backyard of the Queen Mother of the West, so naturally we couldn't take care of so much, flares, cold fireworks, matches, medicines, everything we could bring in.

Pan Tzu, who fought in Vietnam and is now our adviser, said that from the cliffs, the situation here should be similar to the rainforests of Vietnam. This swamp in the humid zone is the most dangerous, above is the broad-leaved canopy of the primeval rainforest, covering almost the entire valley floor, such a dense vegetation, the sun must not be seen below, the canopy is pitch black, miasma, is the world of mosquitoes and leeches and poisonous insects. Even though the temperature here is over 30 degrees, we have to wear long sleeves and long pants. Otherwise, you won't have a piece of good meat on you for an hour.

A-Ning said I have mosquito repellent water, okay?

Panzi said you repel mosquitoes, but that thing will attract other things, don't use too strong smells in the rainforest. Otherwise, even if you don't encounter the beasts at the time, they will follow you all the way, and this time I am the only one with a gun, even if I run into a wild boar, it will be enough.

He concluded by saying that once you are in the swamp, you should not go to the water or touch the sludge unless you have to. He had a comrade-in-arms who had his foot stuck in the swamp during an ambush, and it had only been less than a minute, and when he pulled it out, his entire leg was full of holes, and he was hollowed out, and he didn't know what it was for. In the current environment, if this kind of thing happens, it is equivalent to giving up your life, and maybe it is better to give your life.

I sensed from Panzi's eyes that he was not alarmist, and I felt a little more strange in my heart, so I tied my pants tighter.

It took us two hours to pack everything and we set off at Panzi's shouting. The stuffy oil bottle hit the head, and after Pan Zi's hall, he chopped the branches and broad leaves, and walked to the depths of the canyon. As soon as our front feet moved, the sky came down again, and it seemed to be raining. I sighed in my heart that the mysteries of nature are really inexhaustible, and in the depths of the arid Qaidam Gobi, there is such a wet and rainy oasis of cháo.

This canyon is not like the Yadan Canyon seen in Devil's Town, it is not carved by the wind, it seems to be a rift created by geological movements, the valley floor is uneven, strange rocks are craggy, layered, and the rock walls seem to be carved by sharp knives. However, let me say, I agree with the fat man's statement, the terrain here is really like a crater, and the rift valley is like a crack in the earth's crust that was smashed when a meteorite fell, and when it was created, it may have been much deeper than it is now, and it was gradually weathered and filled. Such a canyon should not be the only one around this crater.

The canyon was very wide, and after entering the dense forest, it became very hot and humid, and our bodies were drenched in sweat. The stones and trees were covered with moss and we couldn't stand on them, and our feet were already covered with cháo wet mud and tangled roots, walking through the tentacle-like web of roots of monsters, one foot at a time, and the canopy above our heads was so dense that we couldn't see the sun. All of a sudden, I had a very serious delusion, am I really on the Tibetan Plateau and not in the primeval jungle of the Amazon?

I thought that this situation would only happen at the end of the canyon, but I didn't expect that it was already like this in the canyon, and the situation in the crater valley was probably even worse.

The fat man walked out of breath, looked at the situation in front of him, and said that he didn't know if there were any animals in this oasis, and his mother would hunt a few to eat, which could be regarded as a kind of welfare, otherwise he would have been wronged on this road.

Panzi said that the rainforest in this closed environment is not small, but it is not big, I am afraid that there will be no large beasts, and the most I am afraid are insects and long worms. In many of these swamps, snakes are the most common. The fat man said that snakes are not bad, and he has also eaten roasted scorpions in Guangdong, anyway, as long as it is fresh, Lao Tzu is not a problem.

I remembered what Wen Jin wrote in his notes: "There are many snakes in the mire, and you are not afraid of people." "Presumably Pan Zi is right, I don't know the size of these snakes, in many Hollywood movies, some pythons can grow to the thickness of an old tree, and the road roller can't crush it, but there should be no such conditions here.

And the ecology here is very special, it is a closed land island, I think it is impossible for anything else to enter here except birds and humans, and the creatures here have been breeding here since the formation of this oasis. At that time, Qaidam was still a land of rich rivers and rich species, and perhaps we could find many extinct animals and plants in this oasis, which may be more valuable than the things in the palace of the Queen Mother of the West.

After thinking about it, I said no, in the legend of the Queen Mother of the West in the Book of Mountains and Seas, the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West is guarded by a group of blue birds with human faces, this must be a huge bird of prey that we don't understand, maybe it is the kind of strange bird that attacked us in Changbai Mountain, this kind of thing is still extinct.

Since the trees were too dense and we were in the canyon, there were no detours, so we had to cut down the old vines and leaves. This is very physically demanding, and the fat man and the stuffy oil bottle take turns to open the way, and there are not many sèsè. Fortunately, there is a blue sky sandwiched between the rugged cliffs on the edge of the canyon, like a blue ribbon, the scenery is very beautiful, and from time to time there is a waterfall formed by the heavy rain the day before yesterday pouring down, we go all the way, and it is not boring.

After walking for a short time, we found that on the cliff in front of us, there were many grottoes, densely packed, there were more than a hundred, covered with moss, and we didn't know what was carved inside.

We were nervous all of a sudden, and the mood to see the scenery was gone. I haven't seen any ruins of the Western Queen Mother Country along the way, and I have always had an unreal feeling, but now I suddenly see it, and we are really starting to get closer to the core of this mysterious ancient country. It's exciting to think about, but when I actually see it, I feel a little scary.

Packing up the frolic, let's go up and check it out. These grottoes are big and small, the big ones can be driven side by side into two liberation trucks, the small ones are only half a person high, and the Dunhuang ones are very different, the grottoes are very shallow, you can see the statues inside on the outside, but they are covered by thick moss.

I climbed up and took out my dagger and began to scrape the covering on one of them, and in the moss, a strange stone sculpture gradually emerged.
