September 23, Friday, August 17 of the lunar calendar, sunny to cloudy, thunderstorms in some areas, it is appropriate to get married, travel, sacrifice, bury, do not start work, go to office.
From yesterday morning, Gao Fei showed his ruffian face to now, they had a smooth journey. At about 3:30 p.m., they climbed up a sand dune, and then they saw a bronze ruins far ahead.
This is the Loulan site officially recorded and recognized.
After arriving at the destination smoothly, old Harry was relieved. He jumped down from the camel, spread out his blanket and knelt down on it. Hallelujah read for a few minutes. It seemed that he was grateful to Hu Daneng for their safe arrival.
Qincheng city has seen these sites on TV and Internet before, but it is not shocked by the sight of real objects: on the boundless golden sand, the ruins of an ancient civilization that has been pregnant for more than 500 years, like a wounded giant beast, stand in the sun silently, and you can feel the thousand year sadness breath from it from a long distance, Give him an indescribable shock. I can't help but think of the prosperity of that year, and then lament the impermanence of the world and the vicissitudes of life
Leng Leng looked at a few minutes later, Qincheng took out the camera from the bag, quickly pressed the shutter, while also affectionate low cry: "Loulan, I see, I come!"
A guy with a low level of education poured a basin of cold water mercilessly: "OK, don't sigh here. This is not the place we are going to come to. Hurry up and get ready to go!"
Old Harry, who just got up from the blanket, was stunned and said, "old boss, this is Loulan ruins."
"I know this is the Loulan site."
Riding on a camel, Gao Fei looked to the southwest of Loulan ruins and said faintly, "but I'm not going there."
Subconsciously, old Harry turned his head and followed Gao Fei's direction. His eyes suddenly shrank. The dust could not hide his pale face: "boss, you, you don't want to go southwest!"
Gao Fei turned his head and looked at Lao Liu, who was also riding on the camel. He said slowly, "I believe we are not the only four going there."
Old Harry was stunned. Then he walked quickly to Lao Liu's camel and said in a deep voice, "Lao Liu, tell me the truth, do you want to go to the ghost sand?"
Because of the hype, Loulan site has become the most popular place in desert travel. Old Harry, who depends on the desert to eat the desert, has earned a lot of money. In the past few decades, he has brought tourists and grave robbers here countless times, and brought them back to the mainland safely. That's why he earned the title of "golden desert guide".
However, in the past few decades, he has never taken anyone to the southwest of Loulan ruins. Even if he went to Qiemo (one of the 36 countries in the western regions, Loulan is the only way to go there - in fact, it's not the case in reality. Everything is based on the plot of the novel, so please don't spray it. Thank you), he will take people to the south for a day, Take a big turn around the sand sea 30 kilometers southwest of Loulan.
Because old Harry knew that the desert was called "the sea of death", or "ghost sand".
It is said that the king of Shura and some ancient evil spirits lurk in the desert with a radius of tens of kilometers. Except for the coal boss who led more than a dozen retired special forces and the troops who searched and rescued them, none of the people who entered the desert in private can come back alive.
This has been the case since ancient times.
Therefore, the desert is called forbidden area by the desert.
If Gao Fei and others told old Harry at the beginning that they were going to the ghost sand, even if they scraped him with a knife, he would not take over the business. It is said that people who died in the ghost sand will not only die in agony, but also can only be a lonely ghost all their life, and can never be reincarnated.
Lao Liu had been in and out of the desert many times before, and they were all led by old Harry, so they were very familiar with each other and could hardly be regarded as friends.
However, when Lao Liu entered the desert before, he never asked old Harry to take him to the ghost sand. He just walked around and heard about the legend of ghost sand.
But this time, goofy said he was going to the ghost sand. No wonder old Harry was surprised.
Lao Liu and his two companions looked at each other, and then nodded slowly: "yes, the boss is right. We come to the desert this time to go to the ghost sand side."
Old Harry didn't believe it: "Lao Liu, have you forgotten what I said to you?"
"I didn't forget that. I know it's guisha over there. For decades, no one came out alive except the coal boss and the rescue troops," Liu said softly
Old Harry looked excited: "since you know, why do you want to go in? Do you know that this is a desert cursed by the Shura king. There are some terrible things in it, such as spirit lizards. If you go in, you can only die! "
Old Liu youyou said: "old friend, I didn't dare to go in before because I was young and didn't want to die so soon. But now that I am old, I am used to the world, and I don't have much attraction to live. If you can enter the ghost sand before you die, even if you die in it, you will be able to close your eyes. Old friend, I know you don't dare to go in, but it doesn't matter. I don't want you to lead the way - Harry, may Hu Da bless you. "
Lao Liu said that, without waiting for old Harry to say anything, he yanked the reins, whipped the whip on the camel, whistled loudly, and ran down the sand dune to the ghost sand.
Lao Liu's two companions followed closely. Three camels ran and raised a rolling Yellow Dragon.
"Come back, all of you! You hateful Han Chinese
Old Harry, trembling all over his body, chased forward a few steps. He knelt down with a puff, raised his hands to the sky and cried, "you'll get hu Da's retribution. You'll meet spirit lizards and be sucked to dry! Your soul will always drift on the desert, and never walk out of the ghost sand! You're going to have your tongue cut... "
Goofy drove the camel to old Harry, frowned and said, "they can go if they want. It seems that life or death has nothing to do with you. Why are you so excited?"
Old Harry didn't pay attention to Gao Fei. He still turned his hands to the sky with white foam on the corner of his mouth, and hissed: "you hateful Han people, if you enter the ghost sand without permission, you will offend the Shura king and countless evil spirits in the ghost sand, and bring plague disaster to the desert people! You villains who have been abandoned by Hu DA are trying to implicate us! "
After the scream came here, old Harry suddenly jumped up from the ground and climbed onto the camel, ignoring Gao Fei and others, driving the camel to the road.
In the blink of an eye, old Harry went a long way by himself.
The two camels, who were carrying water and food, wanted to follow old Harry, but they were held by Tietu and yexinshang in time.
Looking at old Harry's back, ye Xinshang said: "he was afraid to offend the terrible things over there and get retribution, so he ran away in a hurry. It seems that the first thing he did when he came back to sankeliu was to move into the mainland with his family to avoid the so-called retribution. "
Qincheng frowned: "but he alone, without supplies, can he go back to the three willows?"
Gao Fei said: "don't worry, that old guy is like a fish in the sea in the desert. He can't drown. On the contrary, it's more or less inconvenient for us without his guide. "
Gao Fei is worried about inconvenience. It's not that no one leads the way to guisha.
Anyway, guisha is dozens of kilometers northwest of Loulan ruins. As long as you don't lose your way, you can walk in even with your eyes closed.
What he worried about was that no one would take them back to three willows after they came out of the ghost sand.
Qincheng looked at the three old Liu who had become three small black spots, and murmured, "is there really evil spirit in it?"
"I don't know until I go in and have a look. Let's go. There are four of us, six camels, plenty of food and good water. We can regard this expedition as a kind of tourism. "
Gao Fei pulled the camel's reins and walked slowly north.
Qin Cheng City actually wanted to go to the official site of the Kroraina ruins, but she just wanted to raise the request. But the iron slaughtered chased up. "Goofy asked," old fellow, what do you think of the three old Liu who have come to so many deserts before? Why are they determined to enter the ghost sand this time? "
Tietu replied faintly: "all three of them are the captains in the tomb raiding gate. They used to come here and follow old Harry's advice not to enter the ghost sand. That's because they haven't seen through the secret."
Qin Cheng asked: "what's the secret?"
Tietu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "the tomb raiding of the mausoleum by the mausoleum commander mainly depends on the observation of geomantic omen and the identification of weather, and takes the book of changes as the purpose to locate the acupoints of the ancient tomb. Lao Liu and his family have been to the desert many times before. The reason why they didn't enter the ghost sand is that they haven't found a specific acupoint somewhere and haven't made enough preparations. This time, they have come prepared. It seems that they have ignored life and death. "
"The acupoints of Ancient Tombs? Is there... "
As soon as Qincheng came to this point, it suddenly occurred to him what he had seen from Gao Fei's an GUI Jing. He cried out, "ah, I know. What they are looking for is not the ancient tomb, but the real ancient city of Loulan!"
Gao Fei said slowly: "it seems that we are not the only ones who know the secret. Is it true that Lao Liu and his three have also seen Angui Scripture, or are they just the people in Angui religion
Tietu was about to say something, but his face changed slightly. He raised his hand to block his forehead and looked Northwest: "it seems that the sky will change."
When Gao Fei and others looked over there, they could see that a faint black line appeared in a very remote place in the northwest sky, just like before the big storm the day before yesterday afternoon, it soon became a thick one.
"Are the evil spirits in the ghost sand so angry that they are ready to punish us with the storm when they know that someone is going to invade them?"
"Old fellow iron, what should we do?"
Tietu spat out two words: "go back."
"Where to?"
"Go to Loulan ruins, and talk about others after the storm!"
With that, Tietu immediately turned the camel and ran to Loulan ruins.
Thinking of the power of the storm the night before last, Gao Fei is not stupid enough to move on. He immediately turns around and chases Tietu with ye Xinshang.
The distance between the two places is about three or five miles, and the camels run wildly, which is more than ten minutes.
It seems to feel that a big storm is coming. Six camels run down the dune without any hurry.
When ye Xinshang drove the camel with supplies to Loulan site, the trade wind of the big storm arrived.
