"Miss Yu

Hello, I take the liberty to write to you, I believe that your society has received the article about the discovery of a mysterious lake in Turpan, right? Yes, I am the author of the article. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, to this day, I still can't believe that what I wrote is true. When I read it from time to time, the scene would come back to me little by little, and I would be more sure that it was not a dream at all, nor was it a purely fictional literary novel. Although for a week after seeing the lake, I forced myself to think it was just a dream or a hallucination......

I think I'm starting to be incoherent, and now I should do my best to tell you everything I did about what happened that night in the heart of the Turpan Basin. I don't think anyone I tell will believe it, or even think I'm crazy, but I'm sure you won't, Miss Yu. One sentence you said in the interview was enough to convince me of this. You say that you want to believe that there are things in this world that cannot be explained and cannot be explained. At that time, I was deeply shocked by your unwavering gaze, which is why I wrote about my experience at that time and submitted it to your company. And now, what I'm writing about is what happened when I discovered the lake that night. I believe that what I say, you will believe.

Because, it's all true.

Now, let me tell you something I can't explain.

On September 19th, I arrived in Turpan with a group of travelers, and after three days of touring Turpan, we finally decided to make Ayding Lake our last stop in Turpan. There is no point in going into detail about the first three days of the trip, so I will skip it here.

There are very few tourists who go to Ayding Lake, because Ayding Lake is far away from the ancient city of Flaming Mountain, and moreover, due to drought, Ayding Lake has long been dried up, in fact, there is nothing special to see, not to mention, there are very few tourists who go to Ayding Lake, even if it is a local person in Xinjiang, there are very few people who have been there, it can be said that the vicinity of Ayding Lake is almost deserted. Being able to find a local guide can be difficult. However, for the lowest altitude in China of -154.31 meters, it is enough for me to show off when I go back. That's why I went to Ayding Lake with my fellow travelers.

Speaking of which, let's talk about my team of travelers this time, there are four people traveling with me, plus me for a total of five. One of them is a couple and a woman who will be called A (male) and B (female) for the time being, they are students at a prestigious university who skip class and come out to play for a while. The other two men, named C and D, were also encountered during the walk. C is a fitness trainer at a gym, and D is a freelancer who travels all year round.

It took the five of us half a day to finally find a tour guide, (let's call this guide E), rent an SUV, bring the necessary bags, and set off. I felt very uneasy all the way, and I can't say the exact reason, maybe because the scenery became more and more desolate as the car drove towards Ayding Lake.

Later, the car drove through one village after another, the primitive feeling of loess gradually reassured me, I looked at the reckless and desolate Gobi, only one of us was driving in the dust, and I thought to myself, what a cow!

Until the end of the road, tour guide E said that he could not drive any further, and the next step was to walk. Our group packed our bags and got off the bus and headed to Aydin Lake.

After getting out of the car, I followed the group to the lake, hoping to see the desolate remains of the large Aydin Lake before the sun set.

At this time, the sun was already a red disc hanging in the sky, shining brightly in the western sky red, illuminating an orange light on the snow-capped mountains, and the white thick salt crust refracted the soft light in the sunset, which added a little warmth to Xiao Suo in front of him.

Due to the autumn and the large temperature difference between day and night in the Gobi, everyone did not bring any special equipment to protect against the cold, so it was decided to set up a tent first, stay overnight, and go to Ayding Lake early tomorrow morning. In fact, at that time, I proposed that everyone drive back, there are villages and people dozens of kilometers away, and it should not be a problem to stay for one night. But my proposal was rejected, and C smiled wickedly, "Don't you think it's very interesting to look at the stars at the lowest altitude in China?" ”

As the sun went down, I shivered and shivered, and I muttered dissatisfaction at C's proposal. At this time, the couple A and B heard about the stars, and immediately agreed to set up a tent to stay, D was originally a freelance writer, and he was definitely unwilling to let go of this unique opportunity to experience life. So according to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, the crowd decided to stay.

Soon, we set up the tent, I got into the tent shared with D, D is a very gentle young man, living in the Gobi also made him feel very excited, after a brief dinner, C and E brought wine, so we drank and chatted, not so cold.

There's nothing to go into into detail about the chat.

We chatted and talked, and I don't know how long, when C and E went back to their tent. After D went to sleep, I went out to make it convenient, and saw A and B sitting in each other not far away outside the tent, I didn't want to disturb them, I looked up at the sky, although the altitude is the lowest in China, but the stars seem to be as bright as you can touch. And, since we are at the lowest point in China at the moment, and there is a vast expanse around us, the sky is like a bowl on top of my head, and there are stars all around, which is very beautiful. I looked at it for a while, and then walked to the other side, intending to find a qanats for convenience. At the time, I didn't know what to think, maybe because I drank alcohol, and I felt that this wilderness was really suitable for convenience, and I could enjoy it wherever I went. However, there was a strange idea in my heart to find a qanats.

In fact, anyone who has been to Ayding Lake knows that the qanats are nothing special, they are just small bulging mounds, and the original people used them to divert water. As Lake Ayding gradually dried up, there was no water in the qanats. I searched around under the starry sky with a flashlight. The more I couldn't find it, the deeper the obsession in my heart became, as if I was enchanted, and I vowed to find a well.

I don't know how long I walked, but when I turned around, I couldn't see the original tent at all, and I didn't know the direction around me. I was in the dark. That kind of blackness, I still can't forget, it's like a life, it will haunt you, and you can't get rid of it. Even the black shadows of the red willows and grasses could not be distinguished. I looked up at the sky, and the stars and moonlight were bright, but the stars and moonlight didn't seem to shine. I started to get nervous, and despite the drink, I felt that my whole body was sober, and I clutched the flashlight tightly and began to walk back.

Just as I was taking a step, I suddenly heard a gurgling sound behind me. Before I could get into the details, my hairs stood on end. In fact, near Ayding Lake, there are hares and rats scurrying around, after all, the barren mountains and mountains are inaccessible, and it is normal to have these animals. But when I heard that voice, I froze in place, unable to move. But after a few moments, the voice continued without any change, and I held my urine and stood for a few more moments, unable to hold it back. I thought that I was also a man, and no matter how I died, it would be a little more glorious than the image of being suffocated by urine, not to mention, if I wanted to die, I had to die clearly, so I had the courage to look back.

Turning around, there was nothing behind him, and the flashlight swept around, and there was really nothing. But the sound continued, cooing, and on closer discernment, it came from under my feet.

It was at this moment that I noticed a chill under my feet. When the flashlight went down, his feet didn't reach the water. I don't know where the water is coming out, and it's overflowing in all directions. I felt incredible, and I scanned my flashlight to find the water outlet. But no matter how much I searched, I couldn't find it, and with the sound of the water echoing in my ears, I couldn't tell where the sound came from. I saw that the water was getting bigger and bigger, and the water soon reached my calves. There was already water all around me, and I sensed that it was not good, so I turned on my flashlight, pulled my legs and ran back...... At that time, I was very glad that I ran in the right direction, and I ran and ran until there was no more water under my feet, and I didn't turn back.

The moment I turned around, I was simply stunned, and there was a large lake in front of me, and the lake was full of water for dozens of miles. In the clear moonlight, there is a faint white light, how strange it looks. If I hadn't watched the lake rise little by little, I would have thought that Ayding Lake was here in the first place.

But it's not! It's not Lake Aydin!

Later, I ran back to the camp in one go, because I was running so fast that I couldn't breathe for a long time. Thinking about that lake, I didn't sleep well all night. The next morning, I woke up and told my fellow travelers about the previous night, but none of them believed me. In order to prove that what I said was true, I took them to see the lake, but no matter how we walked, there was no trace of the lake, the Gobi was still the Gobi, the salt crust was still the salt crust, and there was no trace of water at all. I ran like crazy on the moor until Guide E grabbed me and warned me, "Further ahead is the mire." "I'm just going to give up.

C laughed at me and said, I must have dreamed. D also said that he didn't know I had been out, and when they said that, I almost felt like I was dreaming.

However, my shoes were clearly wet...... I didn't dare say anything more. He took a curtive look at the long-dried Lake Aydin, and then ended the trip.

Speaking of which, you may ask, did I walk near Lake Aydin? On that note, I'm sure, no. Lake Aydin is surrounded by reeds, and there are mud swamps all over the place, how can I get into the lake. What's more, Lake Aydin has long since dried up, and there are cracked surfaces and salt crusts everywhere.

Later, when I returned to my own city, I always remembered what I had experienced that night, so I looked up information about Lake Ayding on the Internet and in various libraries, and the conclusion I came to proved once again that what I experienced that night could not have happened. The 200,000-kilometre radius of Lake Aydin is a salt desert, and to the east is a whole desert, and although there is a small lake from time to time, there is no lake bigger than Lake Aydin, and such a large amount of water cannot exist in the middle of a basin with great dry evaporation......

Perhaps, this is really something that cannot be reasonably explained. Just like Miss Yu believed......
