Yue Guanchao nodded: "It's possible, Uncle Gunizi's bloody handprint was deliberately left behind the back, and in order to avoid Steinhe being discovered by them, it was left in the dark on the back, perhaps, there is really something wrong with the mural." ”

Aware of this, Song Siyuan and everyone turned on the flashlight and carefully studied the many murals hidden in the shadows, the style of these murals is very similar to the murals of the Thousand Buddha Caves, the colors are rich, majestic and heavy, and they have been oxidized and faded several times in the thousands of years, and have formed a sense of history.

From beginning to end, carefully observed, Song Siyuan saw the murals of the left and right side halls from the beginning to the end, and was already clear about the content of the murals in the two halls, and said to everyone: "The content of these murals was painted at the end of the ancient Shanshan civilization, and it was a mural of the nobles of Milan City at that time, who sang praises to Queen Shanshan, and it belongs to a kind of narrative map. ”

Yue Guanchao's eyes became curious: "Xugong? Could it be that she really summoned an oasis out of thin air in the desert and formed a new Shanshan King City? ”

"Sort of, I'll give you a general introduction to the contents of the mural first......"

It is rumored that at the end of Shanshan civilization, the oasis in Shanshan region continued to degrade, and the deterioration of the environment also brought about the decline of towns, most of the cities and villages in Shanshan country have been degraded into deserts under the erosion of the desert.

The former is basically impossible, the desert is vast and vast, even if it is based on the power of the state, without spending a lot of manpower and material resources, it is impossible to find a new oasis, individuals or some families, even if they have a little network power and money, it is difficult to find another oasis.

Then, there is only one last way left, to migrate to the towns that have not yet been sandy.

At that time, the only oasis in Shanshan Country had been completely concentrated in the five cities of Loulan, Jimo, Milan, Niya and Ruoqiang, and the people of Shanshan had to migrate to the five big towns under the condition of the degradation of the oasis.

As mentioned earlier, the carrying capacity of the oasis is limited, and a large number of people live in the five cities, and after more people move in, both the capacity of the city and the carrying capacity of the oasis have reached the upper limit.

On this basis, more and more people began to compete with the oases for land, which turned the few oases into towns and settlements, and the use of the oases made the sand and soil begin to invade the borders of the oases, and eventually most of the oases became deserts, or even disappeared completely.

Since then, the people of the ancient Shanshan country seem to have fallen into a cursed circle, their homes have been invaded by sand and soil into deserts, and they are forced to migrate to other oases, when the number of oases increases, it will intensify the development and use of oases, and finally make the original rich oasis continue to desertify, and the people can only continue to migrate, never stopping, so as to form a vicious circle.

Although these people are trying to survive, they are actually like abscesses and carbuncles on the oasis, constantly destroying the oasis, allowing the sand to further invade the oasis, exacerbating the deterioration of the environment, and this phenomenon is also one of the reasons for the rapid decline of the ancient Shanshan civilization in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

With this as the background, commerce began to decline, trade began to shrink, and the people in the five major cities did not have a good time, and there were constantly outsiders pouring into the city, competing with the local people for the opportunity to make a living and business, so that both the local people and the foreign people, the quality of life has decreased rapidly, and even refugees have begun to appear inside and outside the city.

The Shanshan royal family has sensed this, in the case of many people, few land, and scarce resources, the contradictions between the people will not be alleviated, but as the situation worsens, it is impossible for them to find more products to distribute to the people in the oasis that has declined.

If they want to solve this problem, they can't even go through the way to migrate, and the only thing they can do is to find a new oasis of wealth and alleviate the contradictions among the people of Shanshanguo.

So, Queen Shanshan began to think about the future of Shanshanguo!

At present, the oases in the desert are mostly concentrated on the edge of the north and south banks of the desert, the north bank is alleviated by the meltwater of the Tianshan Mountains, and the south bank is maintained by the meltwater of the snow-capped mountains of the Kunlun Mountains.

In this kind of terrain area, all the oases on the edge have been occupied by the nearby small countries, if Shanshan countries want to attack other countries for the oasis, it will inevitably leave a handle for the desert countries, if the countries think of the truth of the cold lips and teeth, it is very likely to form an alliance to deal with Shanshan.

Once the desert nations form an alliance, the Shanshan Ancient Kingdom will not even have the last chance.

Unable to take over other small oases by force, they can only turn their gaze from the edge of the rich desert to the desert hinterland, which symbolizes barrenness and death.

Even if the hinterland of the desert is not good in a thousand ways, at least one thing can meet the requirements - that is, this is a real borderless land, a place that can't even reach the water veins, and is destined to have no livelihood, plus elusive monsters, even the most mature caravans have to bypass the hinterland of the desert and refuse to stay for a long time.

Here, it also entered the eyes of Queen Shanshan and became her destination in search of a new oasis.

Intending to do so, it is not an ordinary difficulty to enter the hinterland of the desert, they have to pass through the Devil's Desert and Basin (that is, the Taklamakan Desert, the Tarim Basin) first, and then they can be regarded as reaching the hinterland, and it is still uncertain whether they can find a new oasis in the hinterland, that is, this westward journey is actually an unknown journey, and it is likely to be born to die, and moths to the fire.

Queen Shanshan understood that the degradation of the oasis was unstoppable, and they had to find a new oasis and begin to recruit tens of thousands of young and strong young people in the country, and travel west with her guards across the desert to find the oasis deep in the desert.

This journey is destined to be not smooth, many people are not willing to follow for pleasure, fortunately, there is no shortage of capable people with far-sighted visions in Shanshanguo, they are not willing to be attacked by the sand and chase to escape, in order to find an eternal oasis home, they can only carry a knife and fight on the horse.

So, with her escort, the young and the young, and some of the people and their families, Queen Gushanshan set out from the city of Myran and traveled westward, and after many hardships along the way, they finally reached the depths of the desert, and came to the foot of Mount Tag in the desert.

It is close to the Hotan River and the Keriya River, and the mountain range is called Hongbai Mountain, also known as Mazatag Mountain, which is an abandoned node on the ancient Silk Road and a desert sacred mountain in the minds of desert countries.

It is located in the southern part of the Taklamakan Desert and on the west bank of the lower reaches of the Hotan River.

The western side is located on the edge of the desert, deep into the extremely arid sea of dead sand, completely surrounded by barren desert, and the eastern side is deep into the hinterland of the desert, truncated by the head of the Hotan River, and the end is close to the alluvial plain, which is connected to the dry tidal flats formed by the lower reaches of the Hotan River.

It can be said that it is the only natural mountain that exists in the entire Taklamakan Desert, and it is completely different from the tall sand dunes formed by the accumulation of sand.

These tall sand dunes are mostly sand mountains that have accumulated by the wind and soil, although the mountains are high but have no internal support, as long as the wind direction changes, these sand dunes will continue to flow, forming new sand mountains, which are essentially just flowing sand.

Hongbai Mountain is completely different, it is not a sand dune formed by wind accumulation, but a real mountain peak, with sand on the outside and rock layers inside, which is a tall mountain range that rises in the vast desert after thousands of years of vicissitudes of life in the desert.

Relying on this advantage, Hongbai Mountain blocks most of the northerly winds that invade southward, like a barrier for the oasis in the southwest to block most of the sand erosion, slowing down the trend of sandy soil in the southwest, and naturally creating a completely different desert landscape in the north and south of the mountain.

Here, is the new oasis that Queen Shanshan is looking for, but at that time, there were tall mountains in the Tag Mountain, and the mountains surrounded by the desert and the seas had no vegetation at all, only drought-tolerant poplars appeared at the foot of the mountains, and it was precisely because of this that the mountains showed the original color of sand, red and white, and the mountains were yellow, and they were completely lifeless mountains.

If there are still creatures living on the edge of the desert, this hinterland of the desert containing the Red and White Sacred Mountains is the real world of death.

Queen Shanshan did not give up here, she took out her jade pendant, cast an altar at the foot of the red and white mountain, and chanted a mantra in the middle of the altar, seven hundred and forty-nine days later, the Hotan River in front of them, which had been dry, began to appear in the river, and finally changed its course at their place to form a new river.

They settled down here and built the Sand Sea King City at the end of the Red and White Mountain!

Song Siyuan said that in the end, he had come to the last mural, and at the end of the mural, everyone saw the map of the Sand Sea King City that had been built!

This sand sea king city faces east and back to west, backed by the red and white mountains built at the foot of the mountain, the royal city will introduce the Hotan River into the city, build a square oval city, the shape of the city is close to the mandala flower, the central mandala is inhabited by the royal family, the outside is divided into eight-petal mandala flowers by the lines, these areas are inhabited by the people and merchants, the four corners of the periphery, there are towering Buddhist temples built, the shape is like the four fixed points of the royal city, and the city wall and the moat canal are fixed.

Outside the royal city, it is the oasis that completely surrounds the eastern section of the Red and White Mountain, and under the nourishment of the Hotan River Oasis, the eastern section of the Red and White Mountain has become a verdant world full of mountains and trees, and there is no barren place anymore, it is like an oasis paradise in the hinterland of the desert.
