Chapter 129 Loulan Fragrance
Of course I knew why she said that. Her and Mo Yue's clothes were still in the desert, so I deliberately pretended not to know anything. After saying "Oh," I lit the lighter and took a few steps forward.
The light from the lighter was limited, so I couldn't see clearly where this place was. I just saw that the ground was covered with colorful stones, which looked very luxurious.
Suddenly, something flashed in front of me. I quickly walked over and found that it was a brocade box. I opened the box carefully and found that there was a light blue ancient woman's dress inside. I touched it with my hand.
It feels smooth and greasy, it should be something like silk.
I threw the clothes back towards Long Xiaoman and said casually, "Here is a piece of clothing. You can try it on to see if it fits."
After Long Xiaoman put on his clothes, I turned around and took a photo with a lighter. I was stunned immediately!
this……
I saw Long Xiaoman wearing this light blue ancient clothes, and she was exactly the same as the one I saw in my dream. In my dream, the little mute wanted to assassinate me, but Long Xiaoman suddenly appeared and saved me.
At that time, she was wearing the ancient clothes she has now!
Looking at my surprised expression, Long Xiaoman turned around and said, "Why, doesn't it look good? I feel like this dress is tailor-made for me. It's better than all my clothes."
It has to fit.”
I swallowed, not because of Long Xiaoman's beauty, but because I was nervous and felt that the dream was getting closer to me.
I took a lighter and looked around again, and I was delighted to find that there was an antique candlestick next to the brocade box where the clothes were placed.
I tried lighting it with a lighter, and the candlestick actually lit up!
Only then did I realize that we were actually in a room full of classical atmosphere. Judging from the furnishings and layout of the room, it looked a bit like an ancient girl's boudoir.
The strange thing is that the whole room is spotless and clean, as if someone has just cleaned it.
"Xiaoman, you said this place..."
I turned around and was about to say something to Long Xiaoman, but suddenly I found that Long Xiaoman's whole person had changed.
His face looked very pale, his shoulders were trembling, and his lips were pursed, as if he had seen something scared.
"What's wrong with you?" I quickly walked over to help her, and she waved her hand gently and slowly uttered a few words, "I've been to this place before."
"Have you been here? When and where is this?" I asked doubtfully.
Long Xiaoman shook his head gently, "I don't know either, but I just feel that this place is very familiar."
After finishing speaking, she pointed to the drawer of the dresser and said, "Open the drawer and see if there is an octagonal box inside."
I quickly walked over, opened the drawer, and sure enough I saw a dark red octagonal box inside.
"How do you know!" I asked in surprise.
Long Xiaoman's face looked even more nervous, "Open the box and see if there is a pair of earrings and a bronze mirror inside."
Looking at Long Xiaoman's appearance, I also felt a little nervous. I opened the box carefully, and sure enough, I saw a smooth copper mirror and a pair of earrings set with dark blue gems inside!
In addition to the bronze mirror and earrings, I also found a thread-bound book made of parchment at the bottom of the box. When I opened it, I found some strange symbols inside, which looked like some kind of writing.
I asked curiously what it was, and Long Xiaoman took it, looked at it, and said slowly, "This is ancient Loulan writing. There are text symbols representing numbers at the back of each page. I think it should be a diary."
"Diary?" I was stunned, "Can you tell it's from that dynasty?"
Long Xiaoman read through the diary from beginning to end. I saw her hands trembling as she turned over the parchment, biting her lips tightly. In the end, tears came out of her eyes.
I quickly asked her what was written in her diary?
Long Xiaoman wiped away his tears gently, looked at me with a strange look and said, "Here, the daily thoughts of a girl who lived more than two thousand years ago are recorded. She has always loved a man and has been silently
Guard this man."
"She has great abilities, but she is willing to stay with this man as a small guard just to be with him more every day. But that man never knows what she is thinking. Later,
This man married another woman and died for that woman. The owner of this diary is heartbroken..."
"Then what?" I asked.
Long Xiaoman carefully closed the diary and said slowly, "The last entry in this diary is all about missing that man. There are many traces of scattered ink stains on the last piece of paper. I think that at that time
That woman must have cried while writing."
I asked, "When is the final date for payment?"
Long Xiaoman said slowly, "What is recorded above is the Loulan chronology. According to the time calculation, it should be more than 200 years ago, which is more than 2,000 years ago."
I was stunned. It was strange. How could something from more than two thousand years ago be so well preserved? The whole room was so clean that it didn't look like something that had been left over for more than two thousand years.
Just when I was wondering if someone deliberately built such a room, Long Xiaoman suddenly pointed to the pattern on the mahogany bed and said, "This is a typical Loulan embroidery technique, with smooth lines and no connections.
This technique has long been lost and cannot be imitated by modern people."
"There is also this diary." Long Xiaoman stroked the parchment and said slowly, "This kind of parchment has hidden textures and a clean and smooth surface. According to literature records, it is also the technique of ancient Loulan. This craft has been lost long ago. Unexpectedly
, will see the light of day again here today.”
I was stunned, this... is this really something left over two thousand years ago?
But it’s unscientific. Even if it is buried deep underground, after more than two thousand years of various microorganisms and chemical reactions, let alone things like wood and cloth, even metal should be extremely rusty!
Suddenly, I suddenly thought of something. Since this is a boudoir, it means that this is just a part of the real building!
I quickly found the door, opened it, and took the candlestick to shine outside. I immediately froze in place.
Outside is a huge hall, but it is completely different from the boudoir just now. The whole hall is in a terrible state of decay, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust.
I tried touching a seemingly complete table with my hand, but the table turned into ashes in an instant.
Now I was completely confused. In the same building, why was one house preserved like new while other places were in terrible condition? This is not common sense!
After Long Xiao looked around for a while, he returned to the boudoir, sniffed with his nose closed, and after a while, he opened his eyes and said, "I know, it's Loulan Xiang."
"Loulanxiang?" I was stunned, "What is that?"
Long Xiaoman said slowly, "Smell it carefully. Is there a strange fragrance in this room?"
I also followed Long Xiaoman's example, closed my eyes, and sniffed hard, and sure enough I smelled a faint fragrance. This fragrance was very peculiar, completely different from other fragrances, and completely indescribable in words.
It just smells and feels good, it's that refreshing smell.
Long Xiaoman said, "According to legend, in the ancient country of Loulan more than two thousand years ago, there was a very rare animal. That animal only appeared every ten years and was extremely difficult to catch. The King of Loulan spent a lot of effort to catch it.
It was hard to catch the animal."
"The animal was dark blue all over, and exuded an extremely rich fragrance. Whenever it appeared, the entire Loulan City was fragrant. After the animal was caught, it died without eating or drinking. The King of Loulan ordered a summons
The capable men and strangers from all over the country put the animal carcass into the incense burner and refined it for seven or forty-nine days, and finally got a blue elixir."
"The elixir was completely blue, and the fragrance it exuded was even stronger. King Loulan was very happy and named it Loulan Incense. He placed it on the tallest building in Loulan City so that every subject in Loulan could enjoy it every day.
Enjoy the fragrance of Tao."
"According to legend, wherever the strange fragrance spreads, no one will get sick, and the crops will grow particularly well. Loulan incense is regarded as a sacred object throughout the country. Later, after the death of King Loulan, in order to make his body immortal,
Then he ordered that the Loulan Incense be buried together."
"But not long after the king was buried, his mausoleum was inexplicably split open by thunder. At that time, the entire mausoleum burned. It is said that the flames were blue and the fragrance was overflowing. However, after the fire was extinguished, the mausoleum was destroyed.
It was burned cleanly, and the Loulan incense was nowhere to be found."
After listening, I asked, "What do you mean, the previous owner of this room got the Loulan incense for some unknown reason and placed it in her boudoir, so this is also the reason why this boudoir has remained intact after two thousand years."
The reason for losslessness?”
Long Xiaoman nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "Although this possibility is very high, and it is the only reason I can explain all this at present, it is just my guess. Maybe, the story of the Loulan Xiang
It’s just a rumor.”
I also took a deep breath and said, "Forget it, no matter how many things there are, since something has brought us here, there must be a reason. Since this place is a family's home, then it must be Loulan City outside.
Street, let's go out and take a look, maybe we can find some clues."
Long Xiaoman nodded, and then we took the candlestick and walked out. When we were leaving, Long Xiaoman turned back and glanced at the boudoir.
In fact, I have already made a guess in my mind. When I saw Long Xiaoman in my dream, it meant that she was also a person of the same era in a certain life, and this very well-preserved boudoir, maybe her
I happen to be the owner of this boudoir, so it feels so familiar.
But I didn't say these words to Long Xiaoman, because I knew that even if I didn't say it, she should be able to guess it based on her ability and brains.
After walking through the lobby and finding the main door, I touched it lightly with my hand, and the two wooden doors turned into ashes. What appeared in front of us was a wide road.
What surprised me the most was that there were torches burning on both sides of this wide road, and the whole street could be seen at a glance!
Who lit these torches? They can’t be torches that are more than two thousand years old!
Chapter completed!
