Chen Xing looked forward from the gap between the two front seats.

"Is the tune so big?"

Military vehicles open the way, where is this to visit the scenic spots, and to visit the secret base of national defense.

Lu Jiarang played with his mobile phone and said without looking back: "Hey, buddy, they didn't tell you when you went to Bazhou to go through the formalities, there is a live-fire exercise here, and under normal circumstances, except for the official scientific research groups in various places, no one will be let in, at least for the past few months." ”

Lu Feng looked at Chen Xing from the rearview mirror.

What his brother said was right, they hadn't seen a single ordinary tourist go to the Loulan Ruins for half a year, this was not only a problem of the local military region, but also the protection procedures of the Loulan Ruins had been mentioned in another section.

In the past few years, although the tickets for Loulan Scenic Area were a little more expensive, there were still several waves of tourists who were willing to visit them in a year.

But in March of this year, the Loulan ruins were permanently closed to ordinary people, and only the scientific expedition team could pass through.

Chen Xing is the first ordinary tourist they have received since the Chinese New Year this year.

Lu Feng thought about it, it didn't seem to be very ordinary, they knew Chen Xing's identity when they received the news from the Tourism Bureau last night. Good guys, international photographers, famous domestic travelers, revitalize the travel industry wherever they go.

It is estimated that the bureau also approved Chen Xing's application so quickly because of this.

At the same time, it is not forbidden to fly drones, and this kind of intention to let Chen Xing do a Bazhou travel video is already very obvious.

However, he did not continue to speak, and his attention remained focused on the car in front of him.

There are no roads in this vast desert, and the road is a yellow sand that is drier than the African desert, Lu Feng knows a few roads that can lead to the ruins, but now under the control, he can only follow the car in front.

Heeling is not an uncommon thing.

In this desert, as soon as the vehicle in front passed, the wheels kicked up a lot of dust in the rotation, like a fog with visibility of only one or two meters, and there was no road on the ground to guide the direction, so you could not see the car in front of you if you got closer.

If you are a little farther away, if you are accidentally obscured by these yellow sands, you will really not be able to see it after the car in front of you climbs over a small hill.

At this time, you can only rely on Lu Feng's experience to keep up.

Or say a few words on the intercom, wait where you are and let the car in front of you come back to pick it up.

Chen Xing was wearing a seat belt, holding the handrail above the car door, and said with emotion: "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to go to Loulan." ”

"It's much better on a regular basis." Lu Jiarang said.

Chen Xing asked, "Do you work at the tourism bureau or do you live here?" ”

"Yes, Lu Feng and I are both from Qiang County, if there are tourists in Bazhou who apply to go to Loulan, we will generally lead the way, and we will also do some maintenance work in the ancient city, including Loulan."

There are also a lot of ancient cities here, in addition to the well-known Loulan ruins, there is also a Milan ruins, the ancient city of Milan or something, even if you want to go to the Loulan ruins here, you can't go here, and you can retreat to the next best thing.

Recently, an ancient city of Loulan has been built, and tourists can also go to the ancient city of Loulan to play in the future.

There weren't many topics they could talk about, and everyone stopped talking halfway through the car.

Outside the car window is a desert with a view of the horizon.

Occasionally, you can see some standing rocks, seven or eight meters high, but they are so far away that they look as small as toys.

As for the creatures, Chen Xing didn't see any of them.

Chen Xing trusted his eyes very much, if something in the field of vision ran over, or changed its position, even if he couldn't see it at first glance, it would definitely attract his attention.

But there was no movement at all.

Except for the grass that was blown by the wind and rolled everywhere.

"It's coming." I don't know when, Lu Jiarang said.

Chen Xing looked at the time.

This trip was quite fast, and Chen Xing was ready to sit in the car for hours like yesterday.

The car in front had stopped, and Lu Feng drove to the side a little to avoid eating the exhaust of the army-green off-road vehicle in front of him, and stopped next to them.

A few people got out of the car, and the two very young soldiers said hello to them, and the Lu family asked them to go up very skillfully to spread smoke. At this time, Lu Feng also opened the trunk of the car and took out a few bottles of Red Bull from it - it may be something that keeps warm, this Red Bull is cold to the touch.

"The handsome guy came to Loulan at this time, isn't it hot?" A soldier brother said to Chen Xing with a smile.

"The desert is lonely and the sun sets over the long river, and it is just right to come in late summer and early autumn." Chen Xing said while drinking water.

The sun sets over the long river, and there is no water here, so it should be invisible, but there is lonely smoke, that is, the sand raised by them after they drove over, and now it is getting higher and higher, but it is also getting lighter and lighter.

Chen Xing drank the Red Bull in one go, and then went to look at the surrounding scenery.

Most of the surroundings were still the same as before, but on the right was a complex of buildings that could not be seen as buildings, and Chen Xing stared here for a long time before he saw some clods with windows on them.

"This is Loulan?"

Lu Jiarang nodded, leaned on the car and smoked, and said, "Yes, this is Loulan, there is a sign over there." ”

Chen Xing went over and looked at the stone tablet that had been erected.

National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, Loulan Ancient City Site, established by the Western Xinjiang Cultural Relics Administration, 1997.

A stele from more than twenty years ago?

How can it look like an ancient artifact?

Chen Xing has been to many scenic spots, most ancient cities or ruins have such a stone stele, but this one in Loulan is obviously too old with other stone steles, its surface is mottled with lime and peeled off, making the handwriting a little blurred, and some corners are broken.

The base is two-tiered and was supposed to be an angular cement base like a staircase, but now the surface has also fallen off a lot, resulting in potholes.

Chen Xing didn't look at the stele erected in 1997, and thought it was a stele from two or three hundred years ago.

Lu Jiarang followed and said, "Shall I take you in to have a look?" We don't see much from it, but there's a lot of interesting stuff in it. ”

"Okay."

Chen Xing nodded.

Brother Bing and Lu Feng both stayed here, although according to the regulations, two tour guides should have taken Chen Xing in, but most people in daily life are how convenient and how to come, since the Lu family let Chen Xing go in, Lu Feng is also happy to rest.

The more he walked towards the location of the ruins, the more Chen Xing felt that the supermarket owner said it vividly when he first came to Qiang County.

It's a big pile of loess.

Valuable things have been taken away, even a tile, a piece of furniture, and a few stones may be cultural relics, and they have all been taken away, so what is left behind is only the ruins and broken walls, like a bunker built according to local conditions in difficult times.

It's a house, but people can't walk in, and maybe the building will collapse as soon as you enter.

It doesn't matter if you are injured a little, but damaging Loulan's cultural relics is a big deal.

Lu Jiarang pointed to some slightly taller buildings and said: "This is the city wall of Loulan, the four walls are about 330 meters long, and the total area is only 100,000 square meters, which is a square city. ”

"The two-story building in front of it was the tallest building at the time, and it was the residence of the king before it was occupied, and then it was also the general's palace for a while. After all, at that time, Loulan was already under the jurisdiction of the Huaxia Military Administration. ”

Lu Jiarang said that it was the second floor, but in Chen Xing's opinion, it was a four-sided wall.

The wall tiles were still clearly visible, but Chen Xing didn't dare to touch them with his hands when he was in front of him, for fear that if he touched them with his hands, these bricks would disintegrate like dust and then scatter.

Exaggerated, isn't it?

But this is Chen Xing's true feeling about the Loulan ruins.

As if this place should have been buried by loess a long time ago, and should not have been exposed to the world, the ruins of Loulan that people see now are just images remaining in the world, which makes Chen Xing feel unreal.

"How many years has Loulan disappeared?" Chen Xing asked.

"It was founded in 176 B.C., during the Warring States period in China, and disappeared in 630 A.D., 1,400 years from now." Lu Jiarang said, and then he said, "It is precisely because we have disappeared for so long that we have not paid attention to it since then, and as a result, foreigners discovered it first, and many valuable cultural relics have been taken abroad." ”

The two sighed at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed.

The solemn atmosphere was also enlivened up a bit.

"I shouldn't have said this, it's just that the atmosphere has arrived, eh, do you still have any questions about Loulan? You can fly a drone here, but the height should not exceed 80 meters, and the distance should be within the range of Loulan. ”

Chen Xing said that he understood, the military vehicles had followed, and there was nothing he didn't understand.

"I don't have any doubts, I've read a lot of information about this on the Internet, it's a bit of a pity. But I thought about it seriously just now, if the secret of Loulan's disappearance was excavated, then this place would not be as mysterious as it is now. ”

"You're right, but curiosity, people are always curious."

Chen Xing heard that when he found Loulan, there were ancient coins, silk, and books here, so it should not have migrated.

The specific reason for his disappearance is a mystery, but it is indeed clear how he gradually hid in history, but the Silk Road was rerouted, the climate became dry, and it gradually became uninhabitable.

Maybe before he disappeared overnight, there weren't many people living here.

Chen Xing does not believe in ghosts and gods, but believes that this world is somewhat mysterious.

In case all the people who lived in Loulan crossed over that night, it is impossible to say.

Chen Xing took out the drone and looked at the signal.

The signal of the mobile phone comes and goes, and the drone is similar, in this case, Chen Xing is worried that the drone will run to a place where he can't find because of the loss of signal, so he looked around and found a relatively high platform, and there are stairs next to the platform.

In fact, it is a normal building, the staircase is solid, and it should be an important building here in ancient times.

"Can you go up here?"

Lu Jiarang looked at it, nodded and said, "Yes, I see that many scientific expedition teams have gone up, it should be no problem." ”

"You don't know?"

"Where can I control them, don't look at me as a tour guide for you tourists, for them we are a guide. On the way, I wanted to tell them a little bit about Loulan, but someone immediately jumped out and said that what I said was wrong and immediately slapped me in the face. ”

"Haha." Chen Xing smiled when he thought of that scene.

"Later, I knew that when I met the scientific expedition team, I didn't say anything, and Lu Feng also became less talkative because of such things, anyway, it's more wrong to say more, it's better to listen to their own stories, it's quite interesting."

Chen Xing thought about the way those teachers took the students, and said with a snort: "Indeed, since they came here to investigate, they must know Loulan very well. ”

"That's why I love to receive you tourists, at least to be able to chat and talk."

Chen Xing cautiously went to the high platform.

Lu Jiarang also walked up.

This ladder and this wall are quite stable, and the other sides of the wall don't know where to go, only the part facing the stairs is still standing firmly because of the traction of the stairs.

Nothing in Loulan has any special protection.

It is also possible that it was discovered late and has some experience in protecting cultural relics.

Chen Xing likes ancient scenery, and of course he has heard some negative stories about the preservation of ancient buildings in the early years.

The threshold of the ancient building hinders the passing of the car?

Split!

The location of the stone monument in the middle of the road obstructs traffic?

Moved!

The ash on the wall is too ugly, then wash it with water, it can't be washed clean for ten days a day, rub it with sandpaper for me, and vow not to give up if you don't dry up the dust.

Then pack up first, and don't affect the tourists.

Such 'heritage preservation' abounded from the 60s to the year 2000.

Therefore, these ancient buildings, which began to be preserved a little later, can still be preserved to this day.

When you climb to the top, you can see the surrounding scenery unobstructed.

There are broken walls of the same color as the yellow sand on the ground standing everywhere on all sides, and the irregular buildings are high and low, but because there is some space left in the middle, it also seems to be scattered, and there is a feeling of looking at the stele forest in the Buddhist temple.

But the stele forest is much newer than here, and there are many colors.

The color of Loulan is only yellow sand, and maybe the blue in the sky is also a kind, but that's all. If Chen Xing were to color the photos he took now, it would be that the yellow is thicker and the blue is deeper.

Coupled with this desolate city scene, it highlights a bitter hatred.

It doesn't feel good......

While Chen Xing was using a drone, he was still thinking about the problem of color matching.

With the noise brought by the motor, the drone instantly flew into the sky.

It is still the one that was changed by Chen Xing, although it is inconvenient for the drone to shoot videos and has many fewer functions than the drone, but the flexible characteristics of the drone are also very important to Chen Xing.

For example, in the ruins of Loulan.

The Lu family gave up a height limit of 80 meters, but Chen Xing didn't even reach three meters above the ground, sticking to the ground all the way, walking through the ruins of Loulan, passing through the narrow windows, and then flying out of the houses with leaky roofs.

Lu Jiarang couldn't see the appearance in Chen Xing's flying glasses, and saw the traverser flying everywhere in the rotten building, and he was stunned.

"Don't fly!! Oh my God, it's not going to knock the house down, is it? Ouch, Chen Xing, you fly drones so wildly! Be careful! ”

"Don't worry, I used to fly drones in tens of thousands of running animals, and I succeeded once, as steady as an old dog."

But Chen Xing didn't continue to wear it in the building, flying towards the sky in the distance, and then turned back to look at the ruins, and the two little people.

Stay for a moment.

"Found the ...... of the composition"
