Hearing Vice General Hao mention this mysterious dragon pattern, Ye Feng's spirit couldn't help but be lifted.

It seems that this mysterious woman who suddenly appeared must have a great relationship with the later Loulan Feicheng, but what is the relationship between her and this mysterious dragon pattern and herself?

Vice Hao continued his story: "After this woman came, she had a long talk with the new King of Loulan next to Tianhuo for three days and three nights, and the King of Loulan was very respectful to her, saying that she was the messenger of the true God. ”

They talked alone for three days and three nights, and the king sent them all away, and no one knew what they were talking about, and no one knew what secrets were hidden in the fire. All I know is that three days later, the woman left with the team and has never been seen again. ”

And the king immediately announced to them that according to the will of the true God, he would build a city in the place where the fire fell to the earth, and that he would build a palace that could fly, and that he would take them with him to the sun to meet the true God. So the ancient city of Loulan was built. ”

"Since the first king, generations of kings have sent envoys to all directions, they not only bought and sold goods between the eastern and western countries, earned a lot of wealth, but also secretly purchased a lot of rare metals and materials, hundreds of years later, to build this majestic royal city!"

A royal city that took hundreds of years to build couldn't help but smack everyone's tongue.

However, it is not surprising to think that this entire royal city was built with strange metals, and how much manpower and material resources it would take, and how many generations of continuous efforts it would take.

Fat Zhang frowned: "But such a heavy royal city, how can you drive it to fly?

Vice Admiral Hao said with a smile: "Where is there any magic? When the female messenger of the mysterious true god was leaving, she left a scroll for the king of Loulan, perhaps it recorded how to drive the royal city to fly, but it is old and has disappeared. The scrolls have been kept by the king for generations, and no one else knows the contents. ”

He looked at Zhang Fatzi and suddenly asked, "I heard that Zhang Gongzi is well-read, I wonder if you have ever heard of such a thing as oil?"

Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Oil, which was first called "stone paint" or "stone grease", was recorded in the "Book of Han" of Bangu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, saying that "Gao Nu has water and combustible".

When Shen Kuo read this record in the Song Dynasty, he felt very puzzled, how could water burn? So he went to the field and found that it was a black-brown liquid oozing out of the stone at the bottom of the water, which was combustible, and the fire was fierce and inextinguishable, and the oil smoke generated could also be used to make ink, "black light is like lacquer, and pine ink cannot reach it."

So Shen Kuo named this kind of thing "oil" for the first time in "Dream Creek Writings".

Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not a rare and valuable thing, but I don't know what Vice General Hao means by mentioning it at this time?

Vice General Hao said a little mysteriously: "Since the establishment of the Loulan Kingdom, it has been secretly searching for and collecting this oil, but as for what it is used for and how it is used, only the king and his personal guards know, and outsiders have no way of knowing. ”

He frowned and said: "But I guess that this thing should be used as fuel or something, if I guess correctly, all the key structures should be hidden in the base of the royal city, but it is a pity that the first floor of this royal city has been so badly damaged, and the base is embedded in the ground when it fell, and the extent of the damage is even more imaginable, and it is impossible to investigate." ”

After he finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but be filled with all kinds of strange reveries about this mysterious Loulan King City.

At this time, Ye Feng suddenly sneered and said, "Since you know so many secret things in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, it seems

You are definitely not ordinary so-called outsiders, who are you?"

Vice General Hao and the mouse glanced at each other and said with a smile: "In fact, when the Han envoy Fu Jiezi led the Han army to attack the ancient city of Loulan, in order to keep the secret in the royal city, King An Gui took the risk to start the royal city, and wanted to escape by flying the city. Unexpectedly, in the end, it failed, and Feicheng malfunctioned, exploded, and crashed into Shiozawa. ”

After that, in order to exterminate the mouth, the residents of the Loulan royal city were subjected to a terrible massacre by the Han army, and they were almost slaughtered. Only the citizens of Loulan, who had less than 100 people as businessmen, were spared because they were not at home. ”

"Later, as the salt gradually dried up, it gradually became a desert land, inaccessible to people. And the secrets of the ancient city of Loulan have gradually been buried under this yellow sand. ”

Since then, these surviving Loulan citizens have been incognito, using the totem flying eagle pattern of the Loulan Kingdom as a mark, secretly protecting the secrets of the ancient city of Loulan in this vast desert. ”

Speaking of this, Vice General Hao and the rat both ripped open their clothes together, showing their chests, and a cyan pattern was tattooed on their chests, a flying eagle with wings spread!

Ye Feng gasped and said, "It turns out that you are the descendants of those surviving Loulan people!"

Vice General Hao nodded solemnly and said, "Not bad!"

Ye Feng had a calm face and asked, "So, in order to keep the secret of the ancient city of Loulan, you don't hesitate to kill people?"

Vice Admiral Hao smiled and said, "We are not the only ones who kill people in order to keep the secret, our uncles and uncles used to do this back then. ”

Ye Feng didn't quite understand his words, and frowned, "Oh?"

Vice General Hao said: "More than 30 years ago, there was a group of people who went deep into the desert, and their purpose was also to find the ancient city of Loulan. At that time, on their way back, our fathers attacked them in the guise of horse bandits and killed them along with their guides. ”

The guide of the team at that time was the father of the camels. The camel was only eight years old, and they couldn't bear to do it, so they threw him into the desert to fend for himself. Unexpectedly, this child was so tenacious and had willpower that was difficult for ordinary people to support, and he was saved by others. ”

He smiled bitterly at this time: "But I didn't expect that this time you came to look for the ancient city of Loulan, he would become your guide again, and finally died at our hands and died in this vast desert.

Ye Feng stared at the mouse coldly and said, "Actually, I should have thought that the murderer who killed him was yours. ”

The rat was a little surprised: "Oh? Why?"

Ye Feng said: "When Miss Cheng was inspecting the carcass of the camel, she found that he used his fingernails to write the word 'zi' on the clenched fist, which should be the clue he left us about the murderer. Zirat Ugly Cow, your nickname is Mouse, I should have thought that this word 'Zi' refers to you!"

He sighed and said, "It's a pity that I thought that you and the camel were both helpers found by Ji Wushuang Gongzi and were familiar friends, so I didn't suspect you." I didn't expect it to be you in the end!"

The mouse also sighed gloomily and said, "Actually, I didn't want to kill him so quickly, but since you told the mysterious man with a flying eagle embroidered on his clothes when you were in Devil's Town, it alerted him. ”

"When our fathers killed him in the guise of horse bandits, they wore cloaks embroidered with eagles, and he searched for them all these years. At this time, he suddenly heard the news of the eagle pattern, and he became alert like a hound. ”

"He's a monster indeed, he hasn't slept for three days in a row, and he's still on high alert, and he doesn't know what he's coming from

When he began to be suspicious of me, and that night he actually secretly followed me and saw the joint between me and Vice Admiral Hao. ”

"In order to keep the secret of our identity, I had to kill him with the Shadowless Needle, but I didn't expect him to leave you a clue before he died. ”

Ye Feng couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this, if after coming out of Devil City, if he could take the initiative to talk to him when he first found out about the strangeness of the camel, maybe he wouldn't have to follow the mouse alone, and he wouldn't have died tragically under the shadowless needle.

It's a pity that he didn't do anything at that time, so that the camel died tragically and the opponent's conspiracy succeeded.

He felt a great sense of self-reproach in his heart.

Zhang Fatzi snorted disdainfully at this time, and said: "What do you say that you actually don't want to kill camels, what are you keeping him for? Do you still want to keep him to lead us to find Loulan Wangcheng?"

Vice General Hao smiled at this time and said, "What you said is not bad at all, originally we did plan it this way. ”

Zhang Fatzi was a little incomprehensible, he shook his round head and asked: "Since you are the descendants of Loulan, you want to protect the secrets of the ancient city of Loulan, you should want to prevent us from finding here?

Vice General Hao's smile became a little indescribably cunning: "That's because although we are descendants of Loulan with our fathers, we have some different ideas. ”

Ye Feng didn't quite understand: "How is it different?"

Vice General Hao said: "Our ancestors and fathers have been hiding in the desert for many years in order to protect the secrets of the ancient city of Loulan, hiding in the desert all year round, and suffering countless hardships. ”

"They did the team that led the father who killed the camel thirty years ago, and the Mongolian tribe that came to the rescue of the trapped people who were lost in the desert. For thousands of years, they have done such great good and evil things, and they don't know how many. ”

Zhang Fatzi suddenly remembered that he had mentioned in the "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" by Master Xuanzang that when he left Dunhuang to travel west, he once met a group of people who called themselves "Loulan Old People", leading him through the desert full of mobile sand dunes.

However, when Xuanzang returned to Chang'an to report to Tang Taizong, he said that it was the administrator of Dunhuang at that time who guided him through the desert.

When he first read it, he felt very puzzled, why did Master Xuanzang have two completely different statements about the same thing?

Now that I think about it, it should be Xuanzang who promised these people that they would not reveal their whereabouts, so he declared it.

"Because of living such a life, in order to keep secrets and not to intermarry with outsiders, so over the years, our number of people has gradually become scarce, and less than 100 people survived at the beginning, and in our generation, the fathers are getting old and old, and the dead are dead, and only our two brothers are left. ”

"Our father is the leader of the remnants of Loulan, so from the moment we were born, we were destined to bear the heavy responsibility of guarding Loulan's secrets. We have to practice martial arts hard since we were young, learning all kinds of skills to survive in the desert, and the childhood we remember was all rigorous training, and there was no fun at all. ”

Vice General Hao's words gradually became intense, and the face of the rat on the side also showed a look of extreme hatred: "In order to cultivate our ruthlessness towards the enemy, the cats and dogs we like since childhood, and even the horses that we have been with for a long time and cooperate with tacitly, once we find out that we have feelings for them, my father will immediately order us to kill them with our own hands." ”

He took a deep breath and said, "Since childhood, we have not understood why some people are born to enjoy fine clothes and fine food, enjoy family fun in front of their parents' knees, while we have to face such an almost ruthless father?
