The reason seems to be sufficient, but there are still some unexplainable places: "Then when the mural was sacrificial, a sudden gust of wind blew, and these people lost their heads, how can they be explained by today's scientific civilization?" ”

Emma said: "Mr. Zou, moving people's heads in an instant, this kind of thing is not impossible, in the Qing Dynasty there is a weapon called blood droplets, which can instantly take people's heads, as long as there are enough manpower and weapons, it is still possible to do it, if it is really such a large-scale massacre, it should leave traces in history." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info There is also a more scientific explanation is that the wind, the air flow generated under a certain pressure, can instantly cut off the steel bar, not to mention the head, this technology is used in the military and some civilian heavy industry, because it is difficult to control, the development is restricted, so the scope of application is also very limited. ”

Blood droplets, I've heard, the flow of air under pressure can also be understood, but why is it that only the king's head is not cut off in the mural, and besides, this technology is not so developed today, how was the ancient small country thousands of years ago so perfectly applied, if this kind of mechanism can still be used today, wouldn't we be killing ourselves. Up to now, although we have a lot of speculation about the drawings of the old Li family, but it is not enough to understand, now these scientific and archaeological maniacs have encountered this kind of unexplainable thing, and the heart to continue to go is more resolute, anyway, if you want to go, you can only take one step at a time, there is really danger, I don't mind using strong means to bring them back, the reward, save my life and go back.

Gu Tong and Emma took turns to explain at length, and a lot of time was wasted, and after the mural was finished, only this coffin remained, and since this coffin was not the Queen's body, I now wanted to know who it was.

At this time, Gu Tong disagreed: "No, no, we have two purposes for entering the desert this time, the first is to find the place in the Li family's drawings, and the second is to investigate the archaeology of the desert in the next step. When we go back, we will report the findings here, and then apply for special funds from above, and it will not be too late to move the coffin out and open the museum when we have the conditions. ”

Emma, as an official archaeologist, certainly agrees with Gu Tong's words. Both of them were invited by the Li family at great expense, although the ultimate purpose is not the same, except for the place in the drawings, everything else is not so important to Li Guohua. Although I was a little disappointed, I finally climbed with them to the altar full of bones, and with the most basic team spirit.

Before I went up, I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at us from behind, and I was uncomfortable, so I looked back, but I didn't find anything. I thought that maybe I had experienced too many things in this time, and my nerves were a little overly tense.

Because the stone chamber was too close to the water source, after the stone door was reopened, we were worried that the poisonous gas that had been sealed inside for thousands of years would pollute the water source, so after we came out of the sacrificial room, we sealed the crack of the door with duct tape. We returned to the ground, and the fat man quietly pulled me aside and handed me something, which was a bronze mirror, and on the back of the bronze mirror were two phoenixes, in opposite directions, as if they were circling around the center, concave and convex, lifelike.

I asked the fat man where this thing came from. He said he had cut out the mural while they weren't looking. I said that this kid is so patient to listen to their preaching, and his feelings have always been holding something in his hands, and he didn't dare to say anything. The things have been taken out, the stone gate has been sealed, and it can't be put back again, this thing can be taken by the poison-eyed dragon to take a look, maybe it can be worth a few dollars. In any case, I can't let them know, I told the fat man to hide his things well, not to make a noise, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and to inform me when I do this kind of thing in the future, so that I can be mentally prepared.

A group of eleven people, twenty-two camels, rested in Qucheng for five days, then set off to the southwest, and not long after going forward, they entered the "barren sand sea" in the hinterland of the desert, where there is no poplar on the edge of the desert, no sand mountain to pray for, no water source, boundless at a glance, the same from any angle, without the slightest sign of life.

I asked the fat man and Dachun if they had ever entered this sea of barren sand before.

The fat man shook his head, Da Chun took a puff of cigarette pouch, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "This is a sea of barren sand, which means that it is so desolate that only yellow sand remains, even an ascetic monk like Master Xuanzang may not be willing to come, I, I have only been here this time, if it weren't for the blessing of the Buddha, send him him.. 's Mamu (grandmother) came to help us, even a hundred lives are not enough for us to die..."

Complaining is complaining, a perennial goods, walking alone in the desert businessman, familiar with the desert is like a girl returning to her parents' home - familiar with the road, although he is also the first time in his life into the barren sand sea, but with his experience in walking the desert for many years, he can find the only remaining plants in the sand nest in this endless yellow sand, with these plants, with the archaeological team of more than a dozen people.

The desert was originally a place where vegetation could grow, and countless civilizations were born and there was a lot of water.

The desertification of the land, coupled with the arid climate, has led to the desert, almost no vegetation exists, on these yellow sands, there was once the largest inland water system in China, because of desertification and climate reasons, these water veins are deeply buried under the yellow sand, the surface is not grass, the heat is unbearable, in this deep underground, maybe and the ground is completely opposite, rushing dark river, freezing and biting temperature.

In the Uyghur language, the Taklamakan Desert means "the great desert below the mountain", and before the Qin and Han dynasties, the degree of desertification here was not serious, and oases, rivers, castles, pagodas, and post stations can be seen everywhere. Since the establishment of the Western Regions Protectorate in the Han Dynasty, there was less harassment by the Huns, and countless caravans carried a large number of goods to and fro here, and through the Eurasian trade of the Silk Road, it was once extremely prosperous.

Because of the climate, war, and the change of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Silk Road was interrupted, to the Tang and Song dynasties, the integration of trade and culture, so that this ancient trade road rejuvenated, at this time people found that the Silk Road can no longer go back to the prosperity of the past, the oasis in the history books has ceased to exist, replaced by a boundless desert, full of life and death danger.

Earning money is to survive, if on the road to earning money, even the most basic life safety cannot be guaranteed, then what is the meaning of money? The desert prevented trade to a certain extent, and people began to seek safer trade routes, which gave birth to the later Age of Discovery, Columbus discovered the New World, and to a certain extent, it can be said that the complete understanding of the earth began with Columbus.

Gradually, this trade corridor, which had flourished for hundreds of years, was replaced by less risky maritime trade, and the civilization in the desert was forgotten and began to perish, and the prosperity and glory of the past seemed to be taken away by the gods overnight.

The barren sand sea is the first place forgotten by heaven and earth, and the civilization here has disappeared in some time, and to this day, we still have not found the answer.

Dachun set off only after looking at the weather, when the departure was hanging with a breeze, the yellow sand flying all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun, the visibility was very limited, not only covering the sun, but we were able to walk normally, and we were in a hurry during the day.

Emma and Li Guohua Dachun three people, holding the map of the old Li family against a GPS satellite navigation, it is said that this thing is American, very advanced, and the price is not cheap, one is at least more than 30,000 US dollars, but in my opinion, this thing is simply a compass on the battery. According to the map, after we left Qucheng, we should have been walking in the direction of south-southwest, the four maps plus the watermark map drawn by Gu Tong before, put together I thought we could see something, except for the route, we still don't know what to look for.

State-of-the-art equipment, the oldest maps, and the most experienced desert walkers, while we can't know what to look for, we can at least be sure that we can't go wrong with our route.

There are no undulating sand dunes, so it is a bit troublesome to camp at night, we need to build a sand wall on the dunes, settle the camels in front of the sand wall, and light a fire to keep warm in a leeward place.

A day's trip, walking is very fortunate, although the wind is not big, but it is enough to make people upset, even if you drink saliva carelessly, your mouth is full of yellow sand. Da Chun and the fat man laughed at me and said, "You don't understand, the desert wind season is like this, it's better when it's windy, but if the wind stops, the spicy solar energy will dry people into jerky."

I glanced at the jerky in my hand, and threw it to the fat man: "You are so fat, you should have sunned a long time ago, and you should have dried it to look thinner." ”

The fat man took a bite of dried meat and said happily: "What are you angry about, I haven't spoken yet, I've been walking all day, and I can't open my mouth if I want to say a word." Let me tell you, we are lucky, my father said, this Taklamakan Desert is simply an oven, ten people can not get out if you go deep, the most terrible thing in this desert is not the insects and plants underneath, the wind and sand and the scorching sun. It's something unique to this desert, you know what it is? ”

Seeing that he was right, I came to the spirit, wanting to see how this kid made things up, shook his head, and motioned for him to continue: "The most terrible thing in this desert is the mirage and the sand song, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter both at the same time, then congratulations, wipe your neck and commit suicide as soon as possible." ”
