Chapter 187: The Mystery of Devil's City
I've never felt fear, and there's a little bit of shade on my back.
What Jin Long said, my generation of Taoist leaders is also cool behind it, this is really an unknown mystery.
The six passengers in our sleeper were all embarrassed except for Jin Long, who drank two sips of water and breathed slowly, and one of them was older, who seemed to be doing literature and art, "I said young man, if you want to write about these things and publish a book, then you can't do it." β
The golden dragon laughed. "We can only eat with our hands, we can't do this work in our brains, and we can't say anything."
"Hey, young man, you can't say that, only people with experience are qualified to leave these magical things behind, and the story you told us is vivid and exciting, you can definitely do it."
Jin Long smiled, "Master Niu, I see that you have nothing to do in your old age, so write this out for us, no matter what you say, it is also for us to leave a thought." β
I cried and laughed, "You think too much of me." β
Chen Jie took out the melon seeds we bought in the car, "Come on, come on, say while eating, our Niu Shanyun is a high-achieving student, this is no problem." β
The golden dragon ate and drank well, and then revealed the history of their time.
Falling asleep with apprehension, Shanzi's feet were somehow stuck with a hole in something, and he screamed in pain, but fortunately we were fully equipped.
Wang Jinwu ordered, "Take out the weapon, go to sleep with the weapon, everyone pay attention to vigilance, there will be wolves at night." As he spoke, he took out a handful of XM177, loaded the bullet, and patrolled.
People patrol at this age, and we young people are too uninteresting. I shouted, "Attention, one hour per person, everyone remember." β
Matt was the first to pick up arms, "No problem. β
It was the most restless sleep I've ever had in my life.
Lying down in the compartment of the big truck, the cold wind was blowing, and I didn't feel warm wrapped in a big quilt, but fortunately there were many of us, huddled together.
In the second half of the night, the most feared thing still appeared.
Probably because of Shanzi's injury, the wolves smelled blood, and the blue light in the distance was approaching us.
A snort of the throat * alarmed everyone, and immediately took out his weapons and looked around, these guys that Murry equipped us with are really life-saving guys, more than a dozen of us fired together, even if a hundred wolves came, we were not afraid, and now it seems that Murry is pretending to be good, and we like it.
Wang Jinwu shouted loudly, "These wolves are the patron saints of the gods, don't hurt them." β
Just now we were on guard, why are they not allowed to shoot now, it turns out that the bright lights of the car are blowing, these wolves are indeed different, their hair is white.
Murry shouted, "What kind of wolf is this, white fur." As he said that he was about to shoot, Wang Jinwu pressed the submachine gun, and the bullet hit the ground.
"Mr. Wang, what are you doing, they are going to attack us." Murry was furious.
"I said, these Xinjiang white wolves are the patron saints of the gods, don't hurt them, they are about to be extinct, just drive them away."
"Lausanne, bring the flamethrower, spray fire around it, expel them, and don't hurt them." At this time, Wang Jinwu was still able to command very calmly, and he was still thinking about the protection of animals, and he was indeed a very righteous and excellent explorer.
Lausanne took the flamethrower from the car and sprinkled a circle around it, the wolves were afraid of fire, and besides, we had bright lights here, although they were waiting for the opportunity, but looking at the strange things in the hands of these people in front of them, the wolves' sense of smell and sensitivity were unmatched, and they had long asked about the smell of gunpowder and the smell of gasoline.
We besieged the city, and did not dare to put down the firearms in our hands, so after waiting for more than half an hour, the wolves saw that the attack was hopeless, and retreated.
Wang Jinwu sat down, "It's so dangerous." β
I hurried forward, "What's so dangerous, we have so many firearms, and we will be afraid of them." β
Wang Jinwu is on fire. "You young doll knows a ball." Wang Jinwu scolded, my brain is still buzzing, what's the matter, am I wrong?
Lausanne looked at me with a puzzled expression, "Brother Jin, don't take it to heart, you don't know the weirdness of this Xinjiang white wolf." β
"Oh, what's weird about this wolf?"
Lausanne sat down, "Come, sit, it's almost dawn, let the driver go and rest." You all go and rest, and the golden dragon and I will keep watch for the rest of the night. β
The two of us sat down and made a can of beer, Lausanne was more kind, "Brother Jin, you may be working in this desert Gobi Desert for the first time, there are some things you don't know, just this white wolf, that's really not easy to mess with, if a white wolf is killed or injured today, we have to finish the game." β
I was about to ask why, but Lausanne stopped me from speaking, and continued, "Brother Jin, this Gobi Desert is unpredictable, and this white wolf is a must. β
I opened the beer and puffed up, "Why do you say that?" β
Lausanne smiled, "In 88, Wang Jinwu and I entered the Devil's City for the first time. β
"Ah, you've been here." I was shocked.
Lausanne motioned for me not to get excited, "We are a support team, and the first group of armed expeditions have already entered Devil's City. When we entered, the eight members of the expedition who arrived first were already covered with bones all over the ground, and it looked like they had been eaten by wolves, and the corpse of a white wolf was found not far away. Their anger is semi-automatic rifles, although they are not as good as ours, but they only kill a wolf, and they can't understand it at all. β
"Finally, after learning about a local resident, I learned that the white wolf is the patron saint of the gods, and whoever wants to kill the white wolf will definitely be punished. We don't understand what evil a wolf has. β
"Around the body, more than a dozen black snakes with their heads broken were found, and this snake seemed to have a tumor on its neck, and it was the first time I had seen such a strange snake."
"Later, in the recording of the captain's tape recorder before his death, we learned that when the white wolves approached, they thought that these wolves were killing themselves, and an expedition member didn't think about it, and shot and killed a group of white wolves, but the wolves dispersed, and they were elated, only to wait for them was death, an endless abyss. When they slept in the middle of the night, a member of the team felt that the lower body was cold, touched it with his hand, something was wriggling, alarmed, and dragged out, a black and black, about a meter long, a snake that jumped out of nowhere, quickly surrounded the position, these snakes could not be beaten with guns, they could only be smashed with the butt of a gun, and they were shoveled by sappers, but more and more snakes, so that eight members of the expedition team were bitten to varying degrees, and in half an hour, the wolves appeared again, and this time it was not just a few, but hundreds, white, red, black, Eight members of the expedition team left themselves here. β
When Lausanne said this, he felt a little scared, if someone couldn't help but kill a group of wolves just now, then then, I can't imagine what that kind of snake with tumors looks like.
Finally, it was dawn, where the huge magnetic field caused our compass pathfinding instruments to fail.
Wang Jinwu knew it would be a huge test.
In the pit where Shanzi fell last night, the dried corpse was found, and the dried corpse was pulled up, and in the surrounding area, many team members soon found different pits, all of which contained dried corpses, and it seemed that this was a gathering grave.
Shanzi's foot was punctured by something like a bamboo stick in the pit, and Mu Li was not grinning, "Hahaha, we have two scientists to examine the ancient corpse, and they are both people with professional knowledge." β
As he spoke, two big noses came with instruments, and after more than ten minutes, the conclusion came out, "These people died about three thousand years ago." β
"What, three thousand years ago?" Wang Jinwu was also a little incredible, "I'm a good girl, it's been three thousand years, why don't you turn it away." "The mountains are all in admiration.
"Due to the environmental impact of this place, the constant wind and sand have dried them out and turned them into mummies." Two scientists speak broken Chinese.
"Then look, how did these people die here?" The question I asked was a bit naΓ―ve, and looking at this situation, it was deliberately buried here.
Xiaodong and the old cat took out the bamboo sticks that had the feet of the mountain in the pit, and a clay pot, which was completely filled with something, and on a bamboo stick, the old cat found rubber. This shows a problem, these people were engaged in leather before they were born.
"Oh, nonono." The two scientists shouted in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Wang Jinwu asked.
"They are not Chinese."
"What, not the Chinese." This conclusion surprised those present, they are on Chinese soil, so why are they not Chinese?
"We believe in our instruments, which are the latest products of our country, and we found early under a high-powered microscope that their hair is not black, they are yellow, that is, they are of European origin."
"Are they all yellow?" Wang Jinwu asked.
"Yes, the fifteen dried corpses here all have air-dried hair on their heads, and I checked them one by one, and they are not black."
Oh my God, what is this, everyone was racking their brains at the time.
Wang Jinwu said, "Is it a passing merchant from the Silk Road." "It's not right to think about it carefully, they were immediately overthrown, they were all deliberately buried in groups, which means that there are groups of tribes living not far from them, and there is no reason for their relatives to live on the Silk Road, and the merchants in the past will not live here.
That's strange, so many foreigners here are still engaged in leather, what does it mean?
Murry was very excited at this time, he was an authentic capitalist, "I want to bring these dried corpses back, then I will get rich, hahaha." β
Wang Jinwu glared at Mu Li with a bad expression, and Mu Li turned his head.
Murry saw that everyone was racking their brains about this matter and thinking about all the possible things in their heads, "Everyone, our task is to rush to the Altai Mountains to find the whereabouts of Genghis Khan's mausoleum, so I don't want to waste time here." β
Murry's words are true, but every explorer encounters an unsolvable mystery, and they all have a mark in their hearts, which is difficult to let go of if it is not revealed.
"This place is so dangerous, I think it's better for us to leave early."
Just when everyone was about to give up, I used my telescope to find my way, and accidentally found a cave in the mound, this cave is definitely not naturally formed, why, he has a door beam made of poplar, and there is a stone mill, and even more incredible found a puddle of sheep dung.
We are sure that there must have been a crowd of people living here, but 3,000 years ago, Europe was 50,000 kilometers away, so why did those people come here?
Since the cave was too small, Matt turned around sharply, and smashed a mark on the wall with the butt of his gun, and then the mark fell off the dirt little by little, and Matt took a closer look, "Look. β
A small hole appeared in the wall, everyone threw away the hole, the hole became bigger and bigger, and a small stone tablet buried in the earth appeared, there were many stone tablets, it looked like dozens of them, and the stripes were painted on them.
Wang Jinwu said, "This should be an ancestral hall. β
When the old cat looked at each stele in detail, there were the same two words on the stele, but I don't know what these two words meant, the scientists brought by Murry had a professional archaeological identification of these two words, these two words are the script used in the middle of the Zagros Mountains four thousand years ago, the early European script, these two words mean Guti.
When it comes to Guti, Wang Jinwu immediately reacted, more than 4,000 years ago, the Roman Empire had not yet been established, and there were many kingdoms in Southeast Europe and attacked each other, just like our Spring and Autumn Warring States period, among which the Guti Kingdom was the strongest, and after the old king died of illness, the eldest prince Hull and the second prince Burke launched a civil war for the throne, and after the defeat, Burke fled all the way east to avoid pursuit, but as for where he fled, no one knows, this is also an unsolved mystery in European history for so many years, and it seems todayThe mystery is about to be revealed, and Devil's Town is a place for them.
European scientists and archaeologists have been tracking the whereabouts of the remnants of Prince Burke of the Guti Dynasty for so many years, but I didn't expect that it would make us stumble blindly, and it was really doomed.
However, why the Devil's City is like this today is worth reflecting on. Large-scale grazing, large-scale plundering, made this place a place of cannibalism.
