Chapter 839 The Sea of ??Death, Lop Nur
This person's name is Xie Jun. He is very famous in the antique circle and has a very high level of attainment in maps.
I have saved his life and I have a personal favor, so Xie Jun will definitely help me.
Thinking of this, I quickly took out my cell phone and called him. He greeted me very enthusiastically. After I explained the situation, Xie Jun agreed readily without asking a word.
This is his cleverness in life.
"Brother, who are you calling?"
I ignored Li Mazi, but took a few photos and sent them to Xie Jun.
"Don't worry, you'll know the result after a while."
I looked at Li Mazi and said, "The waiting time was very long, and Li Mazi couldn't sit still anymore. She kept paced back and forth, making my eyes dizzy."
"Brother, I seem to be a little unable to hold back!" Li Mazi said.
Li Mazi proposed the tomb robbery, and he was embarrassed to be humiliated, as if I could hold back.
Finally, Xie Jun called.
"Boss Zhang, this should be a map of the Han Dynasty, but many things have become blurred after years of baptism."
Xie Jun gasped when he spoke, but it made Li Mazi very anxious.
"You're talking about the key points!"
Li Mazi couldn't help but swear, and I whipped his neck with my backhand and quickly apologized to Xie Jun.
Xie Jun was slightly stunned when he heard Li Mazi's words, then smiled and expressed his understanding, and slowly spoke: "The map should be ancient Loulan, but Loulan rarely has such a large lake, so I guess the ancient tomb should be located in Lop Nur."
Lop Nur?
Li Mazi and I looked at each other, and couldn't believe whether what Xie Jun said was true or false.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Boss Zhang, the map is not blank but yellow sand. There is a small totem next to it. Although it is incomplete, it can also be seen that this is the iconic totem of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. Although Loulan belongs to the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, its territory is not very wide, and there are only a few lakes to which it belongs. The lake on this map is in the shape of a human ear, just the same as Lop Nur..."
After hanging up the phone, I looked at Li Mazi again.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Li Mazi said with a treacherous smile.
"nonsense!"
What else can it mean? Since you have a position, then start!
Lop Nur, also known as the Sea of Death, is located in the southeast of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of my country, and is shaped like a human ear.
In ancient times, Lop Nur was the most beautiful landscape on the Silk Road. There was also a prosperous ancient Loulan country. Merchants from the Western Regions would stop to drink water and stay. But for some reason, in just one night, the ancient Loulan country sank into the yellow sand in front of everyone, and Lop Nur became dry and became an uninhabited area.
Since then, various terrifying legends have begun to spread.
For example, there are dryland fish hidden here that eat people, which will eat pedestrians into empty ladles and spit out bones like watermelon seeds.
For example, there is a golden treasure of the ancient Loulan Kingdom hidden here. I don’t know how many tomb robbers died on the way to treasure hunting.
For example, why Peng Jiamu disappeared was because he discovered a huge secret in Lop Nur.
Xuanzang, a monk from the Tang Dynasty, traveled west to seek scriptures. When he passed by, he also wrote: "There are many evil ghosts in the sand river, and those who meet them will die."
Li Mazi and I learned that the ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty was in Lop Nur, so we were naturally itchy and ignored the legend about Lop Nur at all. We immediately started packing our luggage and prepared to go to Lop Nur.
Although this place is mysterious and weird, it does not affect humans' desire to explore it, so the periphery of Lop Nur has now become a scenic spot. Li Ma and I decided to go to Lop Nur to check out the site first. If the situation is true, we will find a way to transport some equipment over.
Then Li Mazi and I set off for Lop Nur. For safety reasons, we did not sign up for a tour group, but chose to go alone.
After landing at the airport in Xinjiang, we took the bus to Lop Nur.
Xinjiang has always had a mysterious color in my eyes. This land once gave birth to the world-famous thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. I thought I would definitely have an unusual experience this time!
When the car was halfway, the words of two locals in the car attracted my attention.
They were very excited, as if something big had happened.
I immediately turned my ears over and asked, "Mr., what are you talking about?"
When the two locals saw that I was unfamiliar with their faces, they immediately showed a look of alert.
I felt speechless. My master is so upright, so he won’t be regarded as a bad person, right? He explained immediately: “Brother, I am here for Lop Nur. I have loved this land since I was a child. Finally, I have the opportunity to come here. I hope the two brothers can give me some advice on where I am fun.”
Speaking of this, I took out a box of cigarettes from my pocket and handed them.
Seeing that I was sincere, the two looked at the Yan carefully. One of the old uncles said, "Lop Nur is a mysterious place. You have come here to find the right thing to do."
Nonsense, of course I know the mystery of Lop Nur, and I also know that there is an ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty in Lop Nur!
"We were talking about a big news just now. There is water in Lop Nur again."
As soon as he finished speaking, I was shocked. Lop Nur had been dry for many years, how could it be that there was water suddenly?
When the old uncle saw me shocked, he said proudly: "Don't believe it. My family lives next to Lop Nur. I saw with my own eyes that there was water in Lop Nur. The water inside was extremely clear and there were fish. This must be the appearance of Master Alah."
People in Xinjiang believe in Allah, which is the same as many people in mainland China who believe in Taoism and Buddhism. Allah is similar to the Sakyamuni in Buddhism, and is the supreme god in the local area.
However, I felt confused.
How could Lop Nur have water and fish for no reason? Could it be that it is true that Allah Allah appeared?
But I don’t believe that Allah is real. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. It seems that Lop Nur not only has treasures from the Han Dynasty, but also other things are at work!
I continued to talk to the two of them. Through in-depth conversations, I learned that the two were father and son. The old one was named Alimu and the young one was Damo. Their family lived near Lop Nur.
They are the indigenous people here, and have lived here for thousands of years. The people of their family have witnessed the most prosperous period of Lop Nur and witnessed the drying of Lop Nur with their own eyes.
Now, this family has witnessed a miracle again. Is it a blessing or a disaster this time?
I was chatting with them all the way, and finally I became familiar with them. The two of them enthusiastically invited me to visit their house.
I am waiting for this opportunity. The indigenous people must have known a lot about Lop Nur. I can even follow these indigenous people to explore Lop Nur. Why not do it?
When I was about to get off the bus, I woke up Li Mazi who was sleeping and told him the words of Alimu and his son.
"Brother, are you talking about what these two people are saying true?"
Li Mazi was shocked after hearing this, but soon became suspicious.
