Chapter 6: The Phantom Sun of the Dead Sea (2)


Da Jinya: "There was not enough film at that time, so I only took three pictures.

Is there any secret in this fourth picture?"

Xue Liyang picked up the last photo.

In the center was a human-shaped coffin, standing in the middle.

There was a faceless ghost on the left and right sides.

It looked like a human but had no face, with only two eyes and layers of ripples underneath.

Everyone expressed their own opinions, some making random guesses, some making rational analysis, but none of them made sense.

But we also reached a consensus that the final pattern on the Xixia Golden Book must be very important.

I burned the photo with a match and put the Xixia Golden Book into Xue Liyang's backpack.

Xueli Yang and Da Jinya went to look for the camels that had entered the desert, while Fatty and I stayed behind to look at our backpacks to prevent others from stealing our things.

Seeing that it was still early, I leaned on the bench and took a nap.

I dreamed that the two monsters Lu Wu and Peng Fu appeared.

We were trying to escape.

The cave suddenly turned upside down, and Xueli Yang fell into the abyss.

I was extremely anxious, but I moved He couldn't move.

For a moment, he felt unprecedented despair and the terror brought by despair.

He woke up with a start during the struggle and broke out in a cold sweat.

Looking up, the fat man was sleeping soundly on his backpack.

I knew it was a dream, but I still couldn't help but feel scared.

I vaguely felt that the omen was not good, and I made up my mind: "This trip has a bad chance, but there is no way to turn back.

If Xueli Yang encounters danger, I would rather be broken into pieces."

I want her to be safe" I was lost in thought when Xueli Yang, who went out to look for camels, came back.

Entering the vast desert requires only two legs.

It is difficult to trek in the desert, where there is no grass and it is easy to lose your way.

It is called the sea of ​​death.

Among many animals, only camels are suitable for long-distance crossings in the desert.

Camels have humps on their bodies and can endure hunger and thirst.

They can trek in the desert for more than ten days without eating or drinking.

They also have thick meat pads under their flat hooves.

Not easy to fall into quicksand, It is as stable as a mountain, runs like the wind, is relatively docile, and has a strong ability to recognize the way.

In addition, the camel is tall.

One camel can carry about 180 kilograms.

Walking on the wild sands of the Dead Sea, there is no better animal than a camel. .

If you can find a team of camels and an experienced guide, the danger of crossing the quicksand will be minimized.

However, there is no camel in Maozi.

In recent decades, roads have been built on the edge of the desert, and the camel caravans traveling through the desert no longer exist.

In the absence of camels, the next best option is a desert off-road vehicle, but the location is remote and the vehicle is difficult to find.

We went out again, and through the guidance of a sheepskin dealer, we found a four-wheel-drive military jeep that had been eliminated by the army and sold to the local area.

It could barely be driven.

The four of them packed as lightly as possible, carrying only goggles and scarves, diamond umbrellas, black donkey hooves, flying tiger claws, wolf-eye flashlights, compressed dry food, and hand-held lighting signal torches.

The Diamond Umbrella and Flying Tiger Claw were still used by Xue Liyang.

Fatty and I each had an engineer shovel, each wearing a water-fire jacket and a rat skin jacket.

The car was loaded with water and fuel, and several large bags of dried meat were stuffed in it.

It is also difficult to find a guide.

In the past, there were many yala hunters in Jingbianbao.

Later, the water source disappeared and the yangs became extinct.

Most people have been to the edge of the desert, but few have gone deep into it.

I took the sheepskin seller aside, stuffed him with two packs of cigarettes, and asked him: "What did the people in Jingbian Fort use to shoot yellow sheep?

As far as I know, the common folk bird guns have a too short range, and the yellow sheep can run very fast."

"You can't shoot with blunderbuss or sand guns."

The sheepskin dealer said that there were knife bandits and horse bandits in Jingbian Fort.

The knife bandits used knives and were used to walking alone, while the horse bandits used guns and mostly came in groups.

In the past, the flags were changed every day.

After the bandits rebelled, there were too many guns left behind, and the camel team also carried guns.

To hunt yellow sheep, they used rifles left by the horse bandits, single-shot, repeater, and all kinds of guns, but now there is no place to find them.

I was unwilling to give up, so I asked the sheepskin seller if he didn't have a rifle, but it would be better if he had a short blunderbuss or a sand blunderbuss.

The fat man came up and said, "I don't need any old-fashioned stuff.

Do you have anything powerful?"

I asked him to go aside and cool down: "Intercontinental missiles are very powerful, can you carry them?"

After asking again and again, it turned out that there were no guns or blunderbuss in the local area, and the guide could not find a suitable one.

I inquired about the directions again and did not spend the night in Maozi.

I sorted myself a little and drove into the Mu Us Desert using the map and compass as reference.

The road was not bad at first.

There were many shrubs growing on the edge of the desert, and you could even see sheep herders.

But when you reached the depths of the desert where no one has visited, there was no wind in the air, the blazing sun hung in the sky, and the sand would burn when it touched your skin.

Going out of a pit can freeze people to death after dark, and everything you pass on the way is full of bitter waters. , no way to replenish it, even if my lips are chapped, I can't bear to drink more water.

It's hard to resist the bright heat, and it's uncomfortable to encounter a sandstorm.

I don't know how much sand I've eaten.

The jeep bumps and shakes, and it sinks for a while.

I stop and go, so I can make do.

When we arrived at Dashaba, the jeep emitted black smoke and lay down under a sand dune.

Xueli Yang checked it, shrugged helplessly, and then had to walk.

Da Jinya was a little panicked: "How many days have we been in the desert?

We can't go back without a jeep."

The fat man said: "Your brain is just like this old jeep.

It's broken.

You've been gone for more than half of it and you still want to go back."

The big gold teeth were so sunburned that their lips were chapped, and their throats were smoldering and burning: "I can't live anymore, I will soon turn into a Loulan girl" The fat man said: "If you sit still, your butt won't be cooked yet."

Da Jinya said: "Let's rest for a while, won't it be so hot if we go forward?"

I said: "It takes a day's drive to reach the junction of the desert and the mountains.

I asked at Jingbian Fort that there is a Kaner ditch to the southwest of Dashaban.

Before 1949, Kaner ditch was where the camel caravans went.

Where the water goes, the water veins are now dry, but it’s not far away and can be reached on foot.

Let’s go there first.”

Da Jinya said: "Kanergou has been dried to the bone.

Going there is not a detour."

I said: "It's a ditch after all.

Go in and hide, rest, and wait for the sun to set in the west before leaving."

Da Jinya suddenly said: "It turns out that Mr.

Hu meant this, it's not a fantastic idea.

We can't have such a trend of never seeing the ancients before and never seeing the coming ones again.

Two words of exclamation came out of my chest: Wow!"

The fat man said: "Big Gold Tooth, I heard that your tongue can cut through iron bars.

It's really damn good."

Da Jinya said: "The tongue is very powerful, but it cannot be used as legs.

We have to walk through it step by step
