After a while, Yu Dong withdrew his distant gaze and saw Qin Zhen's somewhat solemn expression. I couldn't help laughing, "What are you doing here?" Could it be that you are scared? ”

Qin Zhen glared at Yu Dong and said, "Gentlemen, you are really not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Since you have decided to go, you will not be afraid, and you will not regret it. It's just that I've always had a strange feeling since you introduced these people. I can't tell you what it felt like at the time, but now I suddenly know what the strangeness is. ”

Yu Dong lowered his gaze, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a faint smile, "Oh? What's strange? ”

Qin Zhen suddenly turned his head, looked at Yu Dong and asked seriously, "An expedition to the Lop Nur Desert, no matter what purpose you went there for, why is there only one geologist?" Why are all the rest biochemists or even virologists?? Don't you think it's strange that this is what you call an extremely professional team? ”

Yu Dong still smiled indifferently, that smile was too mysterious to be confusing. He seemed to have known that Qin Zhen would ask such a question, so he looked into the distance and said leisurely, "It seems that you didn't do enough homework before you set off." There are some things that I can't tell you clearly right now. But it doesn't matter, as we go deeper into Lop Nur, I think we can all find the answers we want. ”

Looking at Yu Dong's perfect side face, Qin Zhen couldn't wait to punch him! How can this product be so underdrawn? In Gu Jie's words, pretending to be mysterious, and half of the people who speak are underwhelmed.

Qin Zhen forced himself to endure the anger in his heart, and told himself over and over again in his heart, "As the old saying goes, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people." In that devil's desert, the time and place are definitely not occupied, if we want to live, we can only look at people and people, so we don't have the same knowledge as him, we don't have the same knowledge as him."

After calming himself down a little with the forced Dafa, he saw that Yu Dong had already walked among Gu Jie and their group, and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

Just three simple words, everyone got into the car as if they had received a military order. In the blink of an eye, Gu Jie himself was left in the same place. Gu Jie's voice was chatting hotly, and suddenly everyone ran away, and he couldn't react for a while, and his smile and movements were fixed. Qin Zhen walked up to him with a smile and said comfortingly, "It's over, right?" Beautiful men are still more attractive than you, right? ”

Gu Jie said unconvinced: "Uncle's brother, I'm talking about it," Qin Zhen snorted and said comfortingly, "Let's go, brother!" With you to talk about along the way, let's go! "Nine people sat in two cars. Yu Dong, Qin Zhen, Gu Jie, Chen Feng, Lan Qing, and Ma Chao were in a car, driven by Chen Feng. The remaining three people were in another car, most of which were equipped with instruments and water, and were driven by Jiang Qi.

After getting into the car, Qin Zhen's heart was still thinking about the puzzled question just now, and he didn't speak. It wasn't until he found out that the car was not going to the direction of the train station that he couldn't help but ask Yudong, who was sitting in front of him, "I said Dongshao, are you going to drive to Xinjiang?" ”

"Well, yes." Yu Dong replied lightly.

"Holy! You're sick, right!? How long will that take! Why don't you use convenient transportation? Isn't it good for you to save pickles in this luxury car? Qin Zhen shouted.

Yudong didn't even look back, and said quietly, "One, I don't need a luxury car to pick up girls, and two, the convenient tools you said are not so convenient, and we are not suitable for going to the airport and train station." Third, there are a lot of instruments in the two cars that are not easy to carry. ”

Qin Zhen retorted angrily, "Are you a wanted criminal?" Can't get to the airport train station? Are you going to drive to Lop Nur just like that? Driving to find someone? Do you think there is a gas station in the desert built just for you? ”

After hearing this, Yu Dong turned his head slightly, looked at Qin Zhen with some curiosity, and said, "I really doubt where did you get the courage and determination to decide to go to Lop Nur?" Is it possible that you are still preparing to cross Lop Nur on foot? How much do you know about the place and the person you're looking for before you make this decision? ”

This question made Qin Zhen stunned for a moment, and when it came to understanding, he didn't know anything about the desert. As for Wang Bin, he originally thought he knew a lot, but now he doesn't seem to be so sure

Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen's choked expression and glanced at him with disdain. Then he turned back, lazily closed his eyes and said, "If there is no accident, it will take more than 30 hours to almost reach the first destination." For 30 hours, you can just think about what you know. ”

"The first destination? Where? Qin Zhen asked incomprehensibly.

As Yu Dong took out a stack of paper from his arms and threw it to Qin Zhen in the back, he replied lightly, "Yumen Pass." Then, without turning his head a little, he closed his eyes again, apparently not wanting to speak again.

Gu Jie also came over, wanting to see what Yudong threw to Qin Zhen. As Qin Zhen opened the stack of papers, the two of them were completely stunned! That was Wang Bin's handwriting! A page full of scribbled handwriting, full of repetitive words: 'The yellow sand is cut off, and King Mu crosses the Tianshan Mountain. The sunset is set in Loulan, and the west is out of the Yumen Pass. There are also some crooked lines underneath.

Qin Zhen and Gu Jie glanced at each other, and they both saw the infinite confusion in each other's eyes. I couldn't help but say at the same time, "What the does this mean?" ”

Coming back to his senses, Qin Zhen leaned forward again, patted Yu Dong's shoulder and said, "Dong Shao, this is Binzi's handwriting, where did you come from??" Qin Zhen's eagerness contrasted sharply with Yudong's silence. Yudong seemed to have made up his mind and ignored him.

Gu Jie also leaned over at this time and exclaimed, "I said, young master, it can't be that you kidnapped Wang Bin and his grandfather, right?" I'm telling you, it's worthless for you to tie them up! Wang Bin is a little engineer, and the money he earns in January is not enough to buy you a whole set of clothes. As for his grandfather, it's even less valuable! More than 30 years ago, I was a car, and now it is not certain whether there is pension insurance or not! ”

Qin Zhen listened to Gu Jie's nonsense, and was about to stop it violently, but saw that Yu Dong, who had been silent with his eyes closed, actually opened his eyes! What's going on? I saw him sit up straight, turn around and ask Gu Jie, "What else do you know?" You can say a little more about his grandfather. Gu Jie was just about to open his mouth, but Qin Zhen rushed to open his mouth first, "You haven't answered the question I asked!" Why are you so interested in an old man? You sue us first, why do you have something like Binzi? ”

When Gu Jie heard this, he also wondered, and hurriedly followed, "Ah yes! You sue us first! ”

Yu Dong glanced at Gu Jie helplessly and said, "I said I picked it up, and you definitely don't believe it." If we do this, it won't do anyone any good in the end. We'd better put together the bits and pieces we know to do it in our best interest, wouldn't we? I can only say that these words were told to him by his grandfather before he left, and he temporarily wrote them on a piece of paper to decipher the meaning, and it is estimated that he finally cracked them, so he disappeared. And then it came to me by accident, and it was as simple as that. ”

Qin Zhen became more and more confused when he heard this, but now it was almost certain that Wang Bin's grandfather was definitely related to Yudong or their family. Qin Zhen took a deep breath and said, "We don't know much about Old Man Wang, we only know that he moved here thirty years ago. I used to drive for the scientific expedition team, but I quit because of an accident, and my family moved. That's it. If you want to know more, you should find Wang Bin first. He grew up with his grandfather, and we were just little neighbors. ”

Yu Dong nodded thoughtfully, and just wanted to turn back, he was pulled by Qin Zhen, "You wait!" Do you understand what these words mean? That's why you decided to go to Yumen Pass first? ”

Yu Dong replied lightly, "These words are suggesting a place, and it won't be without a reason." So, we're going to go to that place now. I'm sure your little grandfather and grandson must have been to that place too. ”

"This suggests a location?" Qin Zhen raised his eyes and looked at Yu Dong suspiciously.

"Hmm."

"Where?"

"The Jade Gate Pass the City Wall."

Qin Zhen wanted to ask again, but Yudong stopped looking at him. When he was about to get angry, Lan Qing behind him laughed sweetly, "I said Brother Qin, you are really stupid!" No wonder Brother Dong doesn't want to ignore you."

Being laughed at by Lan Qing like this, Qin Zhen couldn't get up, so he could only scratch his head embarrassedly with a dry smile. Gu Jie kept up with the spirit. I grabbed the piece of paper and asked, "Eh, girl, what's wrong?" Do you see that? ”

Lan Qing seemed to be very familiar with those four sentences, and said with a smile without even looking at them, "Perhaps, I don't understand it too well, but I understand the reason why Brother Dong went there." ”

"Ouch, tell me about it! He couldn't answer a single sentence of the narcissist's ten questions! It can suffocate people to death! Gu Jie said it smoothly. Qin Zhen subconsciously squinted at Yudong in front of him, but fortunately he didn't react.

Lan Qing smiled and said, "These first two sentences refer to the route that King Zhou Mu took when he traveled to the Western Regions and met the Queen Mother of the West. King Mu is from the Hetao, climbed the Kunlun Mountains, crossed the Pamirs, and entered the land of the Queen Mother of the West. After that, cross the Tien Shan Mountains and follow the Tarim River to Lop Nur. Legend has it that the treasure of the Queen Mother of the West was left nearby. Qin Zhen felt confused when he heard this, so he interrupted Lan Qing and said, "Wait a minute, girl, I listen to your explanation, we don't look like we're looking for people, it's more like a treasure hunt!" ”

Lan Qing was also generous, smiled slyly, looked at Qin Zhen and asked, "Then how do you know that the person we are looking for is not a treasure hunt?" ”

Qin Zhen was shocked when he said this! Wang Bin and the mysterious old man of their family, why they went to Lop Nur, he never knows

When Qin Zhen was stunned, Gu Jie smiled again and said, "Sister, don't bother with him!" He's a psychopath! Come on, you go on. What about the last two sentences? ”

Lan Qing shrugged her shoulders and said, "Well, this probably means that when the sunset shines on the Jade Gate Close, you will be able to know where the Loulan King City is, and then go west from the Jade Gate Pass, and you will be able to find the place where the treasure is."

Qin Zhen looked at the paper and couldn't bear to say, "This is pure nonsense!" How can there be a city in Loulan? The ruins that were discovered at that point have long been investigated and rotten, can they still be called Loulan City? Besides, the distance between Yumen Pass and the Loulan ruins is visible to the naked eye! ”

Gu Jie on the side pushed him, and deliberately said to Qin Zhen with a straight face, "You talk to a girl, can you be gentle?!" Be elegant! You know? You control zhì control zhì you frizzy temper! ”

Qin Zhen rolled his eyes helplessly after hearing this. At this time, the delicate biochemist Ma Chao opened his mouth seriously, "Brother Qin, sometimes, this kind of hidden language may not refer to the kind of relics you said. Since the 5th century AD, the word Loulan has inexplicably disappeared from the historical books, just like the mysterious disappearance of 'Juze' Lop Nur. The collapsed remnants of the broken walls found by Sven Heding were only a corner of Gu Loulan. Where the real Loulan Wangcheng is, I don't think anyone can say clearly. ”

After hearing this, Lan Qing also followed and said, "That's right! The excavation and investigation of Loulan has not stopped so far. Like Lop Nur, it seems that it will always remain a mystery. ”

Listening to everyone's words, Qin Zhen couldn't help but be silent. A feeling of powerlessness arises spontaneously, in front of nature, in the face of thousands of years of history, what is the human being who is like a mustard?
