Located in the northeast of Ruoqiang County, Lop Nur was once the second largest inland lake in China, with an altitude of about 780 meters.

Lop Nur used to have many names, some named because of its characteristics, such as Aoze, Yanze, Dry Sea, etc., and some were named because of its location, such as Puchang Sea, Gaolan Sea, Peacock Sea, Luopu Pond, etc. After the Yuan Dynasty, it was called Luo Bu Naoer. In the mid-to-late twentieth century, due to the decrease in the flow of the Tarim River, the surrounding desertification was severe and rapidly degraded, until it completely dried up at the end of the seventies of the twentieth century.

Lop Nur has always been full of various legends, such as Pisces jade pendant, mirror man and so on. I don't know how many explorers have visited here in ancient and modern times, and many of them have left their lives here, and the dried corpses buried in the sand dunes can still be found today.

Legend has it that the earliest Silk Road passed through Lop Nur, and during the Han Dynasty, there was a mysterious country here, the ancient country of Loulan.

Loulan disappeared overnight, and the Pompeii, known as the East, is a great mystery in the world. But if the space-time anchor is indeed here, many things are easy to explain, and Loulan's disappearance is just a teleportation to other planes by the space-time anchor. And the dried corpses, which can be explained better, are all undead people who have been frozen in time by the anchor of time and space.

Ruoqiang County is the closest county seat to the civilized world, and when you get out of here, you will enter the Great Gobi, Zheng Lang and Ruoxi rented a jeep in Ruoqiang County and hired a tour guide and driver.

People who have never been to the desert can't imagine the scene of the desert anyway, the endless world, except for the yellow sand or yellow sand, magnificent, desolate, dead and silent. Occasionally, with a few dead poplar trees, this is a forbidden area for life.

When he arrived in the desert, Zheng Lang understood why the national costume of the Middle Eastern tyrants was a hat and a scarf, which were all used to protect from the sun and sand. The light reflection of the sand is also very strong, and you can't keep your eyes open at all without sunglasses, and if you scratch your hair casually, a layer of yellow sand will fall.

Zheng Lang was worried about encountering the bearded brigade mentioned by Master Jiba, and he had been keeping an eye on bearded men, but in Ruoqiang County, as long as he looked at it, as long as he was a man, he had a beard, but there was nothing to worry about, and it would not be that the entire county was a bearded brigade. The two of them rented a car smoothly and bought supplies, and they did not encounter obstacles.

There are no roads in the desert, so after identifying a direction, just step on the accelerator and drive all the way.

Ruoxi was still immersed in the excitement of seeing the desert for the first time, and shouted all the way: "This trip is really not wrong, it is so beautiful, and the snow mountain is two feelings, but unfortunately there is no signal here, and I can't send it to a circle of friends right away, so I can only wait to go back and send it unified." Ah, behold that, it seems as if someone was sitting. ”

Zheng Lang looked obediently, and there was indeed a human-like object on the edge of the sand dunes in the distance, looking from a distance, it looked like sitting and resting.

The guide stopped at the side of the sand dune and shouted the local dialect as he approached the figure. The tour guide was found by the local people, and he also had a big beard, and his beard was red, and everyone called him Redbeard.

Redbeard cautiously approached the figure under the sand dune, probed, turned his head to Zheng Lang and said, "It's dead, it's been dead for a long time, it's all been dried." ”

Zheng Lang stepped forward to observe, the other party had been dead for a long time, the muscles on his face were dry, his gender and age could not be seen, the clothes on his body were tattered, and he could only see that he was wearing a denim suit, so it would not be an ancient corpse, probably some unlucky modern traveler.

"yes," the monster screamed, and ran over quickly, "it's really dead, I haven't seen a dried corpse yet." Come, help me take a picture with him, and go back my friends will have to die of envy. ”

This, what an amazing friend! What amazing values!

Ruoxi didn't think the corpse was dirty when he said it, and sat down side by side with the dry corpse, and one hand also kindly wrapped around the neck of the dry corpse, giving a bright smile.

Zheng Lang was helpless, took out his mobile phone and clicked it, the mobile phone has become an ornament since he entered the desert, and there is no other use except for taking a photo, there is no signal at all.

Ruoxi ran over and picked up his mobile phone to see the effect of the photo: "Well, yes, come, I'll retouch the picture and give myself a beautiful face." ”

Zheng Lang looked at the photo and then at the dried corpse. Suddenly felt that things were weird: "Ruoxi, have you found anything strange?" ”

Ruoxi was busy polishing his skin: "No, it's normal, oops." The sun is so strong here that my skin is getting worse and I have dark spots on my face, so I have to go back to the car quickly. ”

Zheng Lang pointed to the photo, and then pointed to the dry corpse: "Have you noticed that in the photo, he smiled......"

Sure enough, under the sand dunes, his face was serious, and his air-dried face was all erect, and he couldn't see his expression at all, and in the photo, there was an obvious arc at the corner of the cadre's mouth.

The atmosphere suddenly became weird, and Zheng Lang shouted: "Redbeard, you go and check again." ”

Redbeard obviously heard Zheng Lang's words before, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "Don't go, don't go." It must have offended the deceased by this girl's actions just now, there has always been such a legend in the Great Gobi, let's go quickly. Legend has it that the souls of those who die in the desert cannot rest in peace. ”

Ruoxi's heart became empty: "Is it because I only give myself a beautiful face?" Why don't I give him a skin? ”

Zheng Lang didn't forget to complain: "I think he has skin left, aren't you afraid that it will be too explicit if you grind it again." ”

What the two of them were talking about here, the dry corpse over there trembled slightly, and actually began to move very stiffly, and after struggling for a while, the dry corpse stood up. The body loses water, the joints are stiff, and the movement is very slow, but it really stands up. The mouth was still chattering: "Axis, axis." ”

Ruoxi stayed where he was: "What do you mean by modeling?" Does this brother want to take a standing pose with me again? ”

Redbeard took the lead and ran, greeting as he ran: "What are you doing in a daze, run." Caught by a dried corpse, the Salvation will be trapped in the desert forever. ”

Zheng Lang and Ruoxi were beaten by Redbeard, and they also ran back to the car inexplicably, and as soon as they got into the car, Redbeard started the car without saying a word, and the direction was not discerned, and they sped out with one foot on the accelerator.

After driving for a while, Redbeard gradually slowed down, and it was getting dark, and the desert night came.

The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, one sand dune after another, Redbeard calmed down, looked around, discerned the direction, and didn't know how he did it in this place where there was no reference at all, Zheng Lang admired it in his heart.

Redbeard maintained his high-profile image for a while, and said quietly: "Let's stop and rest first, I'm lost." ”
