"The vast archaeological convoy and huge excavation equipment are naturally particularly conspicuous in the vast Hulunbeier grassland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 It was this unusually striking momentum that easily exposed the purpose of our archaeological team's trip, and as a result, we were strongly obstructed by the local nomadic Mongols along the way.

The Mongols considered the excavation of the tombs of their ancestors to be the greatest disrespect to their ancestors, and would bring great disasters to the tribe that had never been seen before, so they were filled with extreme disgust and resistance to our actions. The Mongols of the tribe, under the leadership of the patriarch, blocked and besieged us, forbidding us to continue our march into the depths of the steppe.

Under this strong cultural resistance, our convoy stayed on the steppe and was in a situation of confrontation with the Mongols, and for a time it was at a stalemate.

In desperation, I had no choice but to contact the local armed police force again through my connections, and used the state's approval as a bargaining chip to exert strong pressure.

Under the mediation of the local armed police and the strong pressure of the government, the patriarch finally had to compromise on the third day and let our convoy move on。。。。。。

Hey, now that I think about it, if it wasn't for my too anxious heart, I just wanted to get to that ancient tomb as soon as possible and figure out the truth about my grandfather's notes. I didn't even take into account that the Mongols were forced to accept the reality because they were forced to let us go, and in fact, the hatred in their bones for our behavior was not reconciled at all, and perhaps the tragedy that followed would not have happened. ”

Speaking of this, Ni Tian looked extremely remorseful. I don't know if it was to hide his slightly reddened eyes, Ni Tian took out another cigarette and lit it, and took a deep breath: "The convoy is smoothly heading towards the no-man's land deep in the grassland. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, this is the first time I have entered the vast prairie. If it weren't for the map with my grandfather's mark, I would never have been able to find the lake in the record.

The vast grassland is an endless green, and I can hardly feel any change in the scenery around me, except for the sporadic trees that remind me that the convoy is still moving.

Two days later, the convoy finally arrived at the lake marked on the map, but it was just an ordinary lake that could not be more ordinary, what a thousand corpses blood lake, what Titan python, all fake!!"

I nodded to Ni Tian to show understanding, and these were not my expectations at all. Reality is reality, life is not a mythological novel, and it is simply a fantasy that there will be bizarre monsters overnight. All I care about is what happens next? How could the fourth uncle be involved。。。。。。

Ni Tian flicked off the ashes of his cigarette and continued to say slowly: "At that time, I was really lost to the extreme, how could the last relic left by my grandfather be just a fictional novel, and where did my father go?" This is the only chance to find out his whereabouts, and I really don't want to believe it, and I can't believe it, this novel is just grandpa's mad words on his deathbed.

Just as I was looking at the beautiful lake with the ripples, and I was confused and overwhelmed, not knowing whether to continue this exploration and archaeological project, I saw the tree, the towering ancient tree that stood alone on the edge of the lake。。。。。。。

At that moment, a spark of hope ignited in my eyes again. Because in Grandpa's records, under the ancient tree was where the tent was located.

I led the archaeological team to the bottom of the ancient tree, and then took the ancient tree as the axis and conducted a rigorous carpet search around. Really! Beneath the overgrown ancient trees, we find a circular entrance that resembles a robbery hole.

It's just that because the time is too long, it has experienced the perennial invasion of grassland storms, resulting in the part of the cave entrance has basically collapsed and cannot be entered. However, this was enough, because I knew that Grandpa's records did not lie to me, that the tomb was real。。。。。。 “

The corners of my eyes twitched, and I frowned slightly, looking at the bearded man in front of me who was slightly excited because he was immersed in his own story, I was a little unsure what the situation was, did the plot have to be reversed? Ghosts are going to be staged?

Ni Tian didn't notice the strangeness in my expression, and still slowly told his story: "Next, the archaeological team set up a camp around this robbery cave and set up equipment to prepare for the upcoming archaeological exploration work.

The restoration of the cave was progressing very quickly, and almost before nightfall the next day, the original cave entrance was basically restored.

The next thing to do is to go down to the cave to find out the truth of this mystery, and I feel the excitement that I have never felt before, and the moment to reveal the truth is finally coming!

Of course, for the sake of safety, I also made special preparations in advance for the appalling copper spike ball mechanism mentioned in my grandfather's records.

I put on a special protective suit and went down to the depths of the cave, and at the end of the cave, I collected a large amount of earth and rocks around the cave, and brought it back to the camp for chemical testing.

The results of the inspection shocked everyone in the archaeological team, and we were shocked to find that the collected soil and stone were not only mixed with the creepy fine particles of copper thorns, but also mixed with another terrifying substance。。。。。。 Ni Tian deliberately paused when he talked about this, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and took a sip of tea.

"Another substance? What else!? I was listening attentively, and I was also aroused by his curiosity, how could I stand this, and hurriedly urged him to speak quickly.

"Poppy! And it's very crushed, very crushed poppy powder. Ni Tian stretched out the thumb and ten fingers of a hand and rubbed them in front of me, and continued to speak: "Among the soil and stones that were tested, they were actually mixed with crushed poppy powder. I immediately guessed the real reason for the bizarre and horrific things that my grandfather encountered in the later records!

This poppy powder has extremely hallucinogenic abilities. That night, when they went down to the cave to escape the storm, they had unknowingly inhaled a large amount of poppy powder, and their fate was doomed.

According to my inference, what my grandfather experienced after that may have been a series of horrific hallucinations produced by the effects of poppies. ”

Seeing that I frowned, Ni Tian looked incredulous, and added: "Of course, this is just my personal speculation, except for those who have experienced it firsthand, no one knows what happened that night.

However, my guess can fully explain why Grandpa and they will see such an unrealistic scene after they get out of the robbery cave. In the record, the man named Lao Hu died with a strange smile after eating a large amount of earth and rocks, which just confirms my suspicion, because he also had strange hallucinations。。。。。。

Although I solved the mystery of my grandfather's notes, is it dead or alive about the whereabouts of my father and the others? But I really didn't have a clue.

I don't know exactly who is buried in this tomb, but the soil outside the mausoleum alone has such a large terrorist mechanism. And the sophistication of the design of this mechanism has reached the point of shock, which is really terrifying. Ni Tian looked at me, as if asking my opinion.

I was still frowning, and my mind began to think about the authenticity of Ni Tian's words, the magic effect produced by the poppy?。。。。。。

As for the poppy, many elderly people should be familiar with it. Although the law prohibits private farming, there are still many people who secretly plant one at home and soak it in a little bit for labor pain when they have stomach pain or other pains.

The opium poppy is an annual herbaceous plant that prefers acidic soils with plenty of sunshine and moist and breathable. I don't like rainy places, but I prefer wet places. In terms of function, it is the main raw material for the preparation of opium, and its extract is also the main source of a variety of sedatives, such as: morphine, thebaine, nacodine, etc., are inextricably related to opium poppy.

As for when exactly the opium poppy entered China, there are two points of view:

First, the origin is West Asia, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has been introduced to China, and the people have planted it.

The second is that by the time of the Tang Dynasty, opium poppy was still paid as tribute from abroad, and the narrative materials about opium poppy gradually increased during the Tang Dynasty, so it is inferred that it only flowed into China during the Tang Dynasty.

Ni Tian's story doesn't sound like the slightest problem so far, but I always have a vague feeling that something seems illogical.

Hulunbeier grassland belongs to the temperate continental climate, in the semi-arid zone, cold and dry winter, hot and rainy summer, the annual temperature difference, the date temperature difference is large, it is impossible to grow poppy plants in large quantities. So where did such a large demand for poppy powder and so much precision for the production of copper spike balls come from?

In ancient times, the transportation industry and manufacturing industry were far less developed than in modern times, and if such a large amount of manufacturing and transportation were to be carried out, it would definitely be a huge project that cost people and money, so why is there no relevant record in the history books?

Seeing that I had no words and fell into deep thought, Ni Tian seemed to guess my thoughts: "What? You still don't believe what I say? ”

In fact, it's not that I don't believe Ni Tian's words, but suddenly a strange beard appeared, with a piece of the fourth uncle's talisman ancient jade, gave me a handwritten note from the fourth uncle, and then told me about an exquisite ancient tomb, such a large amount of information, I really can't fully accept it for a while, which needs to be slowly digested, sorted, and analyzed.

I didn't answer his words, Ni Tian didn't explain anymore, just smiled slightly, it didn't seem surprising that I would have such a reaction, and I didn't hurry to take out a small wooden box the size of a palm from my clothes and slowly handed it to me。。。。。。
