The six camels slowly stood up from the ground, and a group of us started to set off towards Lop Nur.
Liu Xuance and I opened the way, Gu Xinlie and Wang Jianggan finished, Professor Chen and Liu Hongjun were behind us, and the group of people walked together.
It was not fast, but after a while, we were still in the desert.
The environment was slightly better than expected, but the sky was still full of dust and smoke.
We wore the goggles and hoods we had prepared in advance to prevent the wind and sand from blowing into our clothes or blinding our eyes.
Camels are different from horses.
Although they don't move very fast, they are extremely stable.
The humps can also be used to stabilize the rider's body.
I looked at the map and it took almost half a day to get to Lop Nur. , if everything goes well and there is no sandstorm, it is estimated that we will be able to see Lop Nur today.
"You seem to have something on your mind."
I couldn't help but say after seeing Liu Xuance's silence.
"I always feel that something bad will happen.
You know the intuition of the coffin-touching people of the Wangpai is always very strong, but I have calculated it twelve times in a row, but none of them have been successful.
This makes me feel a little strange."
Liu Xuance said softly behind me.
"You may be a little worried, don't think too much.
There is danger for sure, but with us here, there shouldn't be any problems."
I didn't know how to comfort Liu Xuance, so I had to deal with it.
"When we get to Lop Nur later, let's not go in yet, at least stay away from the hinterland."
Liu Xuance suddenly said.
"What do you mean?"
I raised my eyebrows and asked.
"I took a look at the Feng Shui of Lop Nur, and there is some instability in the hinterland.
We are seeking wealth this time, not desperately.
If trouble comes, we can hide when we can.
We must go with the flow.
We must not go against the will.
Do you understand what I mean.
Liu Xuance said seriously behind my ear.
I nodded without refuting.
However, what I care about is not the situation of Lop Nur, but its surroundings.
For example, the remains of animals and plants that are more than 3,000 years old under the salt crust, and the Tomb of the Sun in Kongque River.
From the time I came here, I felt that there was a huge secret hidden here, and what I wanted to do was to reveal this secret.
Revealed.
As for money and the like, I don’t value it very much.
A million is more or less, but it’s not enough to make me work hard for it.
I even dragged Liu Xuance and Gu Xinlie and the others.
I want It's just about uncovering the secrets here, or even discovering the real ancient city of Loulan.
"By the way, Brother Liu, do you know the Tomb of the Sun?
I'm very curious about that."
"I've heard of some.
As you said, it's a tomb array.
The Tomb of the Sun was discovered by archaeologists in 1979.
It is said that there are dozens of ancient tombs, each with a circle in the middle.
The tomb of the deceased is surrounded by wooden piles, and wooden piles more than one foot high are used to form seven circles and form several S lines, which look like the rays of the sun," Liu Xuance said.

"I know this.
Later I heard that it was identified as a tomb 3,800 years ago, and the only Loulan body was dug out from here.
To be honest, I'm really curious."
I touched my chin.
Said out loud.
"I don't know which tribes at that time used the sun as the totem of the tomb.
From the perspective of Feng Shui and ancient books, this is a bit unwise.
The deceased is y, and the sun is yang.
Yin and yang cannot be interchanged.
This is what everyone knows.
You know, the existence of the tomb array is to protect the feng shui of all the surrounding tombs, but have you ever thought about what will happen to the surrounding tombs if the tomb array is damaged?"
"How to describe it?
There was a gap between Lop Nur civilization and Loulan civilization for nearly two thousand years.
This period of time is a forgotten history and there is no way to verify it.
If there is really any secret, I am afraid it is in the tombs around the Tomb of the Sun.
Wait until When the time comes, we will find a way to get there."
Liu Xuance nodded and said.
"We'll talk about it later.
There are many people and it won't be easy to deal with if our identity is discovered.
Mr.
Chen can say that those students under him are not very good.
It will be troublesome when the time comes and they cause unnecessary trouble."
After walking for most of the day, it was already evening when we arrived at Lop Nur.
The temperature difference in the desert was so big that it was almost time to put on a cotton-padded jacket at night and wear a gauze at noon.
I took out the compass and looked at it, and then started to get busy and set up camp, because I had known the desert for a long time.
The temperature difference will become very low at night, so the tents Wang Jianggan bought are similar to small yurts.
They are very thick and strong.
With the C-gun, ordinary sandstorms cannot blow them down.
But Professor Chen and his friends are in a very miserable situation.
They use ordinary tents with a thin layer of cloth.
I’m afraid everyone will be shivering from the cold at night.
I took a look at the weather, and I’m afraid it won’t change.
Very possible, but sandstorms are inevitable.
I was worried that Professor Chen’s body would not be able to bear it, so I took the initiative to give up the two tents, because at first Gu Xinlie and I had the idea of one tent per person, so that we could not only have a good rest, but also increase the combined force between the tents. , to prevent them from being easily scraped away.
Seeing my kindness, Professor Chen was a little embarrassed.
He quickly thanked me and reprimanded the careless apprentices, blaming them for making random purchases without carefully understanding the local conditions.
The stupid young men all lowered their heads. , not daring to say a word.
But at this time Baihua Yeyong came over and said to me: "Mr.
Lin, I wonder if you can let me spend the night with you tonight."
The voice was so charming that it made me shiver all over.
He couldn't help but curse loudly: "Fairy."
Because the total number of tents did not change, in the end the four of us, Gu Xinlie, still had one tent per person, but two of them were replaced by two of the most ordinary tents.
In the end, I did not sleep with Baihua Yeyong, Liu Xuance's The top position was given to her, Su Qingcao and another girl.
It was a long night and I had no intention of sleeping.
After tossing around in the tent for a while, I really couldn't sleep, so I took out a cigarette and squatted outside the tent to smoke.

The moon in the desert is unusually large and far away.
It reminds me of the sentence "The bright moon shines on the sea, and we share this moment at the end of the world."
Although they describe two different things, the artistic conception is surprisingly the same.
At this time, Su Manyan appeared next to me, squatting next to me, watching the moon quietly with me.
Before I could say anything, she said, "Miss Ji seems to be avoiding you."
I smiled, thought about it for a long time, and didn't know what to say, so I just said yes.
I exhaled a puff of smoke and it floated in the air.
The dried salt crust formed by Lop Nur not far away looked extremely dazzling under the moonlight.
"Have you been to the desert before?"
I asked Su Manyan.
"Are you talking about the desert?
I've been there before.
I mostly heard family members mention it, but I didn't expect it to be so desolate."
Su Manyan hugged her shoulders and said softly.
"It should be said that it is deserted.
You may not know that this land used to have several highly prosperous countries.
The salt crust in front of us used to be a beautiful lake.
The surrounding green grass and flowers were like a carpet, and there were even some animals."
I pointed to the dry Lop Nur in front of me and said to her.
"How did it become like this?"
Su Manyan was also a little surprised and couldn't help but ask.
"Since ancient times, human beings have been afraid of nature, afraid of wild beasts, and afraid of all unknown things.
But they have never thought that fear itself is actually human beings."
Su Manyan nodded thoughtfully.
She was not stupid.
She quickly understood the meaning of my words, but she just sighed slightly.
At this point, the condemnation and contempt have become a bit insignificant.
There is no need to say more.
Useless.
"What is Mr.
Lin doing here?"
Su Manyan asked me.
"I'm here to protect some people, and at the same time, I'm here to reveal some secrets.
By the way, tell me if you knew any rumors about the desert before."
Su Manyan pondered for a while, and then said: "There are not many, but there is one that impressed me deeply, which is about the city in the sky.
I remember that when I was very young, my father once told me that there is a city in the desert. , is hanging on In the sky, the book says: There is water in the sky, and there is a city in the water.
The city is like a mirror, and the mirror is ice.
If you open the door in the ice, you can see the sky.
"I didn't understand it very well at the time, but I have many people who have been to the desert.
Friends, you have all heard this rumor. " "City in the Sky" I frowned.
This is naturally a bit funny.
No matter how great the technology is, unless there is help from the gods, it is impossible for the city to hang in the sky.
However, the ancients did not talk nonsense.
Maybe it represents a vision, but what is this vision?
Seeing me meditating, Su Manyan didn't bother me.

She hugged her knees and looked at the moon, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Forget it, let's not think about it for now.
Let's wait until tomorrow to see if we can find any clues."
After thinking for a while, I really couldn't think of any books that recorded the Castle in the Sky, so I had to give up.
"Master Lin, can I lean on your shoulder?"
At this time, Su Manyan said softly in my ear.
I was slightly startled, wondering why this girl had become a little introverted today, and nodded subconsciously.
Su Manyan grinned, then hugged my arm and leaned on my shoulder.
Because she was a ghost, I didn't feel it.
Nothing unusual, I guess she is the same, but I don't know why she is so happy.
"When I was very young, the Nu family always liked to look at the moon by relying on my mother.
Later, when I grew up, I could only lean on the pillars.
After that, I never looked at the moon quietly once.
To be honest, Mr.
Lin, thank you You."
Su Manyan said softly.
"You're welcome," I said.
At this time, suddenly a shrill wolf howl came from the distance, and then a burst of smoke came from the distance.
I squinted my eyes.
When the shrill wolf howl sounded for the second time, I knew something was wrong.
He patted Su Manyan on the head, and then suddenly shouted: "Brother Gu, there is a pack of wolves attacking":
