"Yay! Great Northwest, mutton skewers, steamed buns, I'll come! As soon as Song Zisu heard that he was going to the northwest, he began to get excited. Now on the train, I am even more excited.

Mo Tianya was the quietest of all, sitting on the side peeling apples, as if it was just an ordinary business trip.

Forehead... It was meant to be just a business trip.

Bai Ye was also very happy, after all, he had lived in the village with his grandfather for so many years, and finally had the opportunity to go to the provincial capital, and it didn't take long for him to go to a place where birds don't, and he encountered a series of dangerous things.

Bai Ye looked at the scenery outside the window, and suddenly turned his head and asked Brother Dong: "Brother Dong, you must have seen the Mogao Grottoes in so many places you have walked through archaeology, right?" ”

"Of course!" Dong Ge looked at Bai Ye and was interested, and everyone was very happy, so he simply used it as a commentary to introduce some of the scenery in the northwest, "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, founded in the second year of the former Qin Dynasty (366 AD), is a world-famous Buddhist art treasure house, a flower with a history of more than 1,600 years. So far, there are still 492 well-preserved caves, which treasure more than 45,000 square meters of historical murals, more than 2,400 colored sculptures, and five wooden buildings of the Tang and Song dynasties. The art of Mogao Grottoes is a comprehensive art integrating architecture, colored sculptures and murals. It is the largest and most well-preserved treasure house of Buddhist art in China and in the world. ”

"Xiao Ye, why are you suddenly interested in Mogao Grottoes?" He Chaoqun flipped through the geographical atlas in his hand and asked, Bai Ye is not a person who likes to ask.

Bai Ye scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I used to live in the village with my grandfather, but when I went to the provincial capital, I saw these in the museum, so I asked if I was curious." ”

"That's good!" It was rare that Bai Ye was interested, and He Chaoqun immediately proposed: "Otherwise, after we arrive, we will rest for a few days first, and take Xiao Ye and Zisu around as a tour!" ”

Brother Dong also nodded: "Anyway, we are all helping the teacher and Doctor Liu, and the time is free, and it is not bad to play for a few days." ”

Everyone was still chatting, and suddenly a small turtle climbed onto the table in front of He Tao.

He Tao picked up the turtle and asked, "Huh?" Why is there a baby turtle on this train? ”

Hearing this, everyone looked over, and it was really a little turtle, caught in the palm of He Tao's hand. Mo Tianya glanced up, and hurriedly pulled out the short knife.

"Not good! Put it down! "After that, with a wave of Mo Tianya's short knife, the little turtle was splashed with blood on the spot!

Song Zisu was not happy: "Wooden face, why don't you have love?" Even a baby turtle has to be killed. ”

"This is the unique skill of the Ghost Face Sect!"

It's the Ghost Face Sect again, since it came out to the present, it has fought with the Ghost Face Sect a few times, and there has been no head-on conflict, but it has repeatedly stumbled! Bai Ye thought that when he was in Qingcheng Mountain, after the black-clothed man of the Ghost Face Sect saw his exercises, he mistakenly thought that it was taught by Liu Fugui, and faintly felt that maybe the Ghost Face Sect was really going to deal with his grandfather Liu Fugui.

After the little turtle was killed by Mo Tianya, He Tao broke open the turtle shell and found the runes engraved on the back.

Mo Tianya pointed to the runes and said, "That's it, the secret technique of the Ghost Face Sect, if you put animals in a place of yin and raise them, and engrave their secret runes on their bodies, they can become natural trackers, no matter where these animals go, they can find them." That day in the deserted village, the cat I jumped down to catch was this kind of secret technique. ”

Hearing this, everyone had an understanding of Mo Tianya's behavior at that time. In fact, Brother Dong has always felt that there is a problem, but Mo Tianya didn't say it, so he didn't ask. Anyway, Mo Tianya was invited by He Lao and Doctor Liu, so there will definitely be no problem.

The Hexi Corridor is in the northwest of China and is a necessary place for the famous Silk Road in ancient times. The vast northwest has always been endowed with a mysterious color, and the civilizations left behind by the Mogao Grottoes and Dunhuang murals also have many myths and legends. And the purpose of Bai Ye and the others' trip is the truth behind these myths!

90 kilometers away from Yumen Guanxi, there is a typical Yadan landform community, about 25 kilometers long from east to west, about 1-2 kilometers wide from north to south, when the wind blows, you will hear a whimper, like the ghost sound of the forest. At night, the sound persists, hovering over the area for a long time. People call this the Devil's Town.

This devil's town is like a medieval castle. There are walls, streets, buildings, squares, churches and sculptures. Now people regard this Devil's City as a masterpiece of nature, but in the eyes of people like Liu Shenyi and He Lao, who study folk mysterious culture, the Devil's City is not so simple!

Yumen Pass Yadan Devil City, this place is mostly developed as a tourist attraction, people see here, are also some ordinary Yadan landforms, the real devil city, hidden in a deeper place!

After getting off the train and tossing and turning a few more trains, everyone saw the shadow of the Gobi. After arriving, Dong Ge made a phone call, and a young man in his 20s came in an off-road vehicle.

"You're Brother Dong, right? He Lao has told me. "The young guy recognized Brother Dong as soon as he came, it seems that He Lao had arranged it early in the morning, and he was waiting for Bai Ye and them here.

"My name is Tsisong Tashi, you can call me Tashi." After a brief greeting to the group, Tashi got into Tashi's SUV and headed to his accommodation.

The car was remodeled, with six seats and a section of carriage added to the back. Dong Ge chatted with Tashi all the way in the car, and everyone knew:

Tashi University is a history student, and he happened to be the last class of students led by He Lao. After graduating, after the introduction of He Lao, he went to the Northwest Provincial Museum to do cultural relics work, resigned the year before last and went home to take care of his elderly grandmother, and became a tour guide here.

This time, I heard that He Lao needed to find a tour guide here at Yumen Pass, so he called He Lao and volunteered to come over.

After driving for about an hour, I finally arrived at the destination, which is a very small village, the courtyard walls of the houses are all earthen walls, yellow sand all over the ground, and a few trees with sparse leaves have become a little green in the yellow everywhere, which is also a feature.

"Come in and sit down, after contacting the teacher, I will prepare a room for you in the morning, but the conditions in the countryside are difficult, not as good as in the city, not to mention you, the people I grew up here are a little uncomfortable when they come back from reading." Tashi beckoned everyone to come into the house and sit down, turned around and went into the kitchen to cook, Bai Ye is also good at cooking at home, and pulled He Tao to help.

Dong Ge walked around and praised the completeness of the village here again and again: "It's so good! It's hard to find such a village anymore. ”

He Chaoqun is also, after years of archaeology, it is rare to find well-preserved ancient villages, and their significance and value are self-evident.

Everyone was preparing to wash their hands and eat, when a little boy suddenly ran outside the door: "Brother Tashi! Oh no, Wang Er Mazi is going to pull that big stone in our village to sell again! ”
