Chapter 162: All the way west

In Bai Ning's self-consistent analysis, the ancient land of Yaochi may have existed for tens of thousands of years, and in such a long historical fault, it is impossible for the Queen Mother of the West to exist all the time.

The myth of the Queen Mother of the West left in the Kunlun Mountains has long been buried under the rolling yellow sand, and the Queen of Loulan, who continues the name of the Queen Mother of the West, was fortunate to meet King Zhou Mu of the Western Expedition, which is just a beautiful misunderstanding in the torrent of history.

This is a verification of the old saying, things are not people, and there is still a time when Lop Nur is dry, let alone the deified material life form of the Queen Mother of the West.

"That's a wonderful thought.

Whether there is a god in this world, I don't know; I don't know if there are immortal people.

But if a powerful being is deified, then she will definitely be buried in the grave one day.

Even if someone can inherit this deified title, they are only doing some pretend games, completing a kind of psychological fantasy and obscenity.

Titles can be inherited, but divinity and time cannot be reversed after all.

The utensils and bodies that carry time can only be buried in the grave in the end, becoming the sustenance and witness of the ancient legend for future generations. ”

Professor Huang is worthy of being engaged in archaeology, and he not only has the style of an archaeologist, but also has the unique feelings of an archaeologist for history.

These words can be regarded as a summary of Bai Ning's previous remarks, and they have also indicated that the purpose of their trip is to find the legendary Mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West.

What kind of secrets are hidden in this historical site inherited from the legend of the ancient deification, this place that once produced the legendary item such as the Pisces Jade Pendant, which can replicate organic life?

The so-called dragon vein out of Kunlun is just an overall description of the geographical trend of the world's mountains and rivers, or there are some long-standing legends related to dragons, and it seems that it can only be seen through the mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West.

……

Perhaps it was because she had taken care of the business affairs in hand, Jiang Yingxue also went to Lop Nur to find the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West this time.

Since it is related to dragons, Liu Cheng, a descendant of the Royal Dragon Clan, was also brought by Bai Ning.

It was another special plane and special car transfer, and while Liu Cheng was full of excitement, he was very curious about Jiang Yingxue, the boss who seemed to be a higher level than Bai Ning.

Such a beautiful big boss, does he still need to do some extremely dangerous work with these old hats?

Although he was curious, Liu Cheng, a professional idle person who eats and waits for death, also knows the truth of closing his mouth in time, it is enough to eat and drink well, and if he asks about these extras, isn't it a long life?

It wasn't until Liu Cheng transferred into a long list of desert off-road teams and saw this luxury car that the gossip soul in Liu Cheng's heart instantly became a little uncontrollable.

Could this be that Boss Bai hooked up with some rich daughter to go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers?

"Boss Bai, who is that female boss?

How do you look like money is like dung, so you can spend money.

This car looks so expensive, just as a servant car to rush into the sand ditch?

After this trip, the maintenance cost of the luxury car is not low, right? ”

There is only one Bai Ning who is familiar with each other, and after Bai Ning got into an SUV, Liu Cheng's small mouth began to inquire about the news.

Bai Ning is not easy to evaluate Liu Cheng, a dirt bun whose mouth is wide and round along the way, and whose chin has never left the ground except for eating.

There is always a time for this person, and it is not necessarily a good thing for the rich and noble to see the world too quickly.

"Do a good job, as your royal dragon clan, it is not impossible to serve an iron rice bowl in the subsidiary of her subsidiary.

After all, people must show reciprocal value in order to gain the respect of other people. ”

Since it was the idler that Bai Ning took the initiative to pull in, Bai Ning felt that it was necessary to warn him.

If Liu Cheng, a descendant of the Dragon Clan, loses his good quality of hard-working and hard-working, who knows what he will do with his identity as a Dragon Clan.

"Yes, yes, yes.

Boss Bai, don't worry, I won't let you lose face in front of the female boss.

Just the food along the way, we have to repay the favor, right? ”

After responding, Liu Cheng, who saw Shahai for the first time, quickly dropped his chin on the car window again.

The surprise and exclamation that kept honking along the way made Bai Ning want to kick it down.

The convoy traveled to the vicinity of the potash plant in the town of Lop Nur, which is not only the center of Lop Nur, but also one of the few human settlements in the sea of sand.

Not only is it home to a few thousand people, but it is also connected to a train because of the potash business, making it a great place to start exploring.

The wind and sand are sweeping, everything is gray, and the new buildings also reveal the vicissitudes of time under the erosion of sand and dust.

A group of people hula-la-la, the dust and dryness made everyone unconsciously open their mouths to breathe, and the scorching sun shook everyone's eyes.

Lop Nur is a new village and town built on the potash industry, and even if there are occasional idlers passing by on the road, there is little interest in Bai Ning's group of people who come by car.

In the eyes of these industrialists who are accustomed to eating wind and sand, Bai Ning, a city man with smooth skin and tender flesh, said that he was traveling by car, but in fact, he came to find excitement and suffer.

The people who came to cross Lop Nur came batch after batch, and they really responded to the old Internet stalk that was too full.

In this rotten place where there is a lack of water and electricity, if there is no potassium brine, it can really be said that birds don't.

"The cultural relics and historic sites in Lop Nur include the ruins of the earth, the ruins of the ancient city of Milan, the ruins of the ancient city of Haitou, the ruins of the ancient city of Loulan, the ruins of the ancient city of Binhe, etc.

With so many ruins of the ancient city, it is enough to prove how splendid and fascinating the history behind this desert really is.

The ancestors gathered by water and grass, and when the water withered, people scattered, and the impact of people on the natural environment was still too great.

Who would have thought that this was once a vast body of water of 5,000 square kilometers, with reeds, flocks of waterfowl, fishing and singing at night, and intoxicating smoke curling from cooking. ”

There is no other body of water in this area except for the potash brine pool, and Professor Wong's ability to imagine such a beautiful scenery in such a desolate place is indeed a testament to the unique romantic feelings of its archaeologists.

It's a pity that his romantic imagination of history and civilization is difficult to resonate with the people here.

Professor Huang said yes.

If there are thousands of acres of blue waves in this place, the fish raised will definitely be fat.

Being able to eat a beautiful meal of grilled fish under the thousand-year-old poplar is also a worthwhile experience. ”

The only one who responded to Professor Huang was Liu Cheng, who seemed to have exhausted his life's work in elegant conversation, and he was barely worthy of Professor Huang's literati style.

"Xinjiang's grilled fish is also a major local specialty, but unfortunately there is no one here."

It is rare for someone to echo him, and Professor Huang is also very face-saving and responds a few words slightly.

Continue to chat a few words, the field finally fell silent again, people have indeed arrived in Lop Nur, here after the archaeology of the predecessors have indeed found a large number of ancient city ruins, but if you want to find the legendary West Queen Mother ruins, you can't just find it with a casual lyrical romance.

Jiang Yingxue glanced at Bai Ning, who was looking down and contemplating, and didn't know what he was thinking when he hid in the shadows of the vehicle.

"What, I patted my head and came over, haven't you planned the follow-up itinerary yet?"

Standing at the height of investors, Jiang Yingxue accosted her with a slight ridicule.

This is like an investor's recovery of the results of the migrant workers, and it seems to be a disguised reminder to Bai Ning that she is the one who put forward the Lop Nur conjecture.

"It is rumored that the Pisces jade pendant was not found in the depths of Lop Nur, and it is related to Pengamu, a top biochemical expert who disappeared here.

The reason why the Pisces jade pendant is magical is mainly because in the process of experimenting on it, it can actually replicate live fish.

Such rumors, with a bit of myths and legends, also give an important information extension direction, that is, the legendary site of the West Queen Mother may be located in the area of the water body that Lop Nur once was.

In other words, the former Queen Mother of the West used water burial to place the mausoleum.

Water burial, which is also a tradition on the Tibetan side, is close to the Kunlun Mountains, and there seems to be no problem in linking it. ”

Bai Ning's way of thinking is still out of the box, even comparable to Professor Huang's previous attribution of the Altun Mountains to the Kunlun Mountains.

The age of the existence of the Queen Mother of the West must also be the most lush era in Lop Nur, combined with the known excavated ruins of the ancient city, the former central area of Lop Nur is definitely not the current dry central area.

Combined with the disappearance of Pengamu, the once central area of Lop Nur is likely to be closer to the Altun Mountains.

But even if you can guess a rough idea, the former Lop Nur was 5,000 kilometers in circumference, even if it was only the central area, it was enough to make people feel hopeless.

In short, it is difficult to find the entrance to the ruins of the Queen Mother of the West in this area that is currently heavily salinized by windblown sand.

"The overall idea was good, but it was still nowhere to be found.

Who can accurately find the entrance to an ancient site in the strata of more than ten meters, or even tens of meters?

Furthermore, does this ancient ruin really have an entrance? ”

Bai Ning can give an approximate range, which is really good, but the question raised by Jiang Yingxue is still grim.

"Have you forgotten how the Pisces Jade Pendant was discovered?

Among the urban legends related to the Pisces Jade Pendant, one of the most important bases for finding it is the rumor of replicants.

Not only are there rumors of replicants in Pengamu, but most importantly, there are rumors of replicants in a certain village deep in Lop Nur.

Although it is unclear exactly where the village is, it seems to have proved the fact that the tomb is exposed to the ground. ”

Bai Ning's follow-up supplement made Jiang Yingxue stunned, the discovery of the Pisces jade pendant was indeed an important clue to the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West.

But this alone can prove that the mausoleum of the Queen Mother of the West has become an above-ground Ming Palace, which still cannot convince it.
