Kunlun Dragon Scroll Chapter 1 Do you believe in martial arts?
Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. - Wang Zhilian
The land of China is all-encompassing, there are no wonders, the whole west is high and the east is low, the step-like terrain is low, a into the northwest, the climate is abruptly arid, the eaves of the world in the south and the poor Tianshan Mountains in the north will almost all cut off the rain and dew of the four seas. As a result, the farthest area from the sea in northwest China is also a rare arid place in the world, and only Ganzhou and Qinghai have a passage for clouds and rain, which is known as the "Hexi Corridor" in history. Hundreds of years ago, there was a large lake that topped China, nurturing a side of water and soil, named "Lop Nur". But the world is ruthless, the vicissitudes of life, Lop Nur extinct, the Northwest Jedi has since pushed thousands of miles, the death of Lop Nur has become one of the most famous Jedi in China, only a few archaeologists will care for this place every year, trying to explore the lost ruins.
From Lop Nur to the west to the northern foot of Kunlun, this thousands of miles, there has been a brilliant Silk Road in history, feeding many small countries in the Western Regions, these small countries have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, with the birth and extinction, the long is hundreds of years, the short is decades, so this area often has archaeological experts or expeditions formed by the state to conduct in-depth research, and there is no lack of tomb robbers and treasure hunters, trying to get rich overnight.
The former died, the latter continued, long yellow sand, I don't know how many dreams and ambitions were buried.
On the desert at the eastern end of the Atsar Huijiang Autonomous Territory, a team of more than 20 camels slowly marched on the road of yellow sand, walking carefully along the ancient channel of the Tarim River system, which had dried up, and the camel bells rang softly, just like the endless caravans of traders on the Silk Road thousands of years ago.
The Taklamakan Desert is the second largest mobile desert on Earth, known as the "Sea of Death", and it is widely believed that the Taklamakan Desert refers to the center of the Tarim Basin, but in fact its coverage is far beyond imagination, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a stretch of thousands of miles if you include the stretch that extends to Lop Nur. Even the most professional technical team, with the best quality, the strongest will explorers do not dare to challenge it easily.
However, there is never a shortage of challengers in this world who are not afraid of death.
"Professor Zhang, is the desert really so dangerous? I don't seem to have encountered any danger these days. The younger girl on a camel looked at the poplar trees not far away, pulled the face towel to protect her from the wind and sand, and said.
The desert is awe-inspiring, it is oppressive and heavy, the desert is also beautiful, it has an indescribable special charm. The most intoxicating thing here is undoubtedly the poplar in the desert, which is life's struggle against desperation.
You will not die for a thousand years of life, you will not fall for a thousand years of death, and you will be immortal for a thousand years. This is Populus euphratica.
A man who knew the destiny of heaven at the sound of his voice, and whose hair was almost gray exposed by his sunhat and windshields, rode on the back of a hunchback and said in a deep voice: "We are only at the edge of the Tarim Basin, and we can still see poplars, and further west along this ancient river channel to the barren land with sand as far as the eye can see, this is the real desert." ”
The girl said, "Is there any difference?"
A slightly mature and wise female voice sounded: "The real desert brings overwhelming despair, the dunes and sand are moving like flowing water, the wind is the heaven and the earth hanging upside down, our small team is like a boat in the sea, it may be annihilated at any time." ”
Professor Zhang said: "Xiao Mao is right, further afield is the terrible mobile desert, which is not a place where the sand is stable, and poplar and wolf venom can grow. The wind will chase after the whole sand dune, Taklamakan can't get in or out!"
The girl stuck out her tongue quietly, and the professor saw that the scare was almost over, so he stopped at the point. No way, the desert can not be experienced without personal experience, every little hairy child who has just entered the desert will always greatly underestimate the great horror behind the magnificent face, no matter how trained he is, he must be careful when he arrives here, otherwise a fork in the road will go to Huangquan Road.
They are a scientific expedition team, this time to Atsar Huijiang Autonomous Territory is to accept the country's mission to come, in order to explore a number of historical sites, the above information shows that it is very likely that it is the base camp of the Mingzun Sect that led several large-scale anti-Yuan uprisings at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Zun Sect was also impacted during the Mongolian iron cavalry sweeping China at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and moved the general altar to the Kunlun Mountain in the Western Regions, and established a magnificent and solid fortress system there, called the Guangming Peak.
This expedition will help unravel the mysteries of the super-hidden religion Mingzunjiao, which has had a profound impact on Chinese history, and also provide a glimpse into the forces that have been hiding in the shadow of the official government.
For a long time, the legend of the Jianghu martial arts has been spread in every corner of the Chinese folk, and the historical world has always been of great interest in the existence of this not recorded in the official history, but it is a pity that with the advancement of the times and social development, these social intermediate forces that were once closely related to the Chinese folk are like those extinct animals that have disappeared in the long river of history, and even because of the intention of the officials of the past dynasties, they have even connected the "fossils" There are not a few pieces left, only Shaolin Wudang these ancient sects still keep records about the ancient rivers and lakes, if you can unravel this layer of fog, then the study of the entire Chinese history, the development of society, the life of the ancient Chinese people will have a series of big breakthroughs, and even many unsolved mysteries in history will be solved.
Many years ago, some scholars proposed that some of the mysteries of Chinese history are very likely to involve martial arts people, which is the far-reaching influence caused by the infiltration, alliance, and mutual use of official forces by the Jianghu forces, and even some scholars believe that there has always been a mysterious force in China, which is stirring up the situation in China, including the unprecedented strength of the government now!
Originally, the participants in such an important and dangerous operation should be one in a hundred elites, and in fact it is true, but there is a specialization in the art industry, and a genius in one field may not be a drag bottle in another field. So when the above wanted to let this little girl who was less than 20 years old and had a jumpy personality join the scientific expedition team, Zhang Xue was strongly opposed, joking, when the scientific examination was a little girl's outing. Even if the little girl in the back showed her jaw-dropping knowledge, even if the little girl unexpectedly completed all the training projects, he still objected, but unfortunately the decision was not in his hands, and the leader had the final say.
The rest of the expedition team welcomed this little sister more, especially a few single dogs of the right age, the heroic knight who had been guarding the expedition doctor Mao Jingqin all day was now swaying on both sides of the goddess and the princess, and the men of the other expedition team were envious.
Mao Jingqin didn't mind at all, and was very grateful to her for sharing her troubles and taking care of this little sister a lot. She is a native of Xujiang, eastern Zhejiang, graduated from Jinling Medical University with a master's degree in medicine, but joined the Huaxia military as an honorable military doctor, and then participated in several scientific expeditions organized by the state, and is now a professional and technical officer with the title.
The girl said secretly: "Sister Mao, this time we are looking for the legendary Mingzun Sect Guangming Dome Ruins, then do you think we can find the legendary Zhang Wuji Battle against the six major factions, and finally hurt Zhou Zhiruo's sword for emotional reasons?"
Mao Jingqin said: "I don't know this, little girl, don't be obsessed with those legends, although Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo are indeed people, but those stories are just plots added by Mr. Jin Yong himself, and there is no historical basis." ”
Professor Zhang Xueshi said: "Xiao Mao is right, we must believe in clues and evidence, believe in science, and don't believe in those unfounded things. ”
Professor Zha Liangyong is still a mixed reputation in the field of history, and many orthodox historians and archaeologists have sneered at him, and Zhang Xueshi is undoubtedly one of them.
The girl smiled mysteriously: "Professor Zhang, don't you believe that there are martial arts in this world?"
