Chapter 626: The Unparalleled Mystery of the Ancient Loulan Country (Part 2)
"Master Dong is missing?!" He Qing couldn't help being surprised when he heard Lin Haitao's exclamation. How could Dong Ziqing disappear in just such a moment?
"Yes, he is gone!" Lin Haitao responded loudly.
Brother Xing was also surprised and said: "Yes, he is really missing. He was still there just now preparing to relieve himself! It's really strange!"
Following the direction they pointed, He Qing saw nothing, nothing but the vast expanse of desert.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" When he saw it clearly, He Qing's first reaction was that it was impossible. The place where Dong Ziqing relieved himself just now was not far away from them. No matter how fast he was, he couldn't run away in just a few seconds.
Far away, disappeared from their sight.
But the fact was before their eyes. Such a big living person disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had evaporated in the desert in an instant.
?No? Wrong? "This... what is going on?!" Lin Haitao said with wide eyes, "Why is it so weird?! Then Master Dong can't be... can't he be a ghost? Otherwise, how could it be possible?
Disappear soon?!"
After hearing Lin Haitao say that Dong Ziqing was a ghost, Brother Xing and Uncle Pang suddenly felt chills running down their backs, and an inexplicable sense of fear welled up in their hearts.
He Qing shook his head calmly and said in a deep voice: "Impossible, he is such a living person, how could he be a ghost? Who of you believes that you saw a ghost in broad daylight? Besides, where in the world can you believe it?
What ghosts are there?”
He was very close to Dong Ziqing just now, and he could feel the aura on his body. He seemed to be a real living person, and had nothing to do with the legendary ghosts.
"But isn't this too strange?" Brother Xing took a breath and said, "This place is so wide. You can see the enemy hundreds of meters away, but you can't see his shadow. Could it be that he
Did you get into the sand?"
He Qing said: "Maybe there is an underground secret passage."
He couldn't explain this strange thing, because he saw it with his own eyes, otherwise he would never believe it.
"Brother Qing, although he looks normal and doesn't look like a ghost, don't you think what he said is strange?" Lin Haitao said doubtfully. "He said that the ancient city of Loulan is in the opposite direction from us, and he didn't know it.
He has a satellite phone and a mobile phone, but he also claims to be a member of a geological survey team in Henan."
He Qing nodded and said: "What he said was indeed a bit strange and incoherent. At first I thought he might be thirsty and hungry after getting lost, and his mind was dizzy, so he said some nonsense, but now it turns out that things are indeed a bit strange.
I’ve heard about a lot of strange things happening in the desert before, but I’ve seen it today.”
Lin Haitao urged: "I always feel that this place is very scary. Brother Qing, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's hurry up."
"Well, let's get in the car and go." He Qing nodded and agreed.
Then they got into the car and drove in the direction of the ruins of Loulan Ancient City.
On the way, He Qing asked through the walkie-talkie: "Haitao, which of your mobile phones can receive the signal?"
Lin Haitao replied: "Can't receive it, no signal at all."
Brother Xing and Uncle Pang also said they couldn't receive any signal.
He Qing said: "Haitao, use the satellite phone to make a call."
"Why are you calling? Do you want to call someone to answer the call?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing replied: "No, let people outside help check things."
"What?" Lin Haitao asked hurriedly.
He Qing said: "After checking the information about Dong Ziqing, I always feel that this person is very weird and has an indescribable and wonderful feeling."
"Okay, I'll give it a try." Lin Haitao readily agreed.
After he finished speaking, he tried to contact people outside the desert via satellite phone.
After a while, I heard him say: "Brother Qing, I asked about some information."
"What's going on?" He Qing asked.
Lin Haitao replied: "It's about Dong Ziqing. A friend of mine helped me check the Internet and found that person. According to the information provided on the Internet, this person disappeared when Dong Ziqing was in 1984, but he did
He is a member of the Henan Geological Survey Team and a famous geologist. According to the description of the photos on the Internet, he is very similar to Dong Ziqing we just met, so he should be the same person!"
"Master Dong no longer had this person in 1984? What do you mean?" He Qing asked.
Lin Haitao said: "Because in 1984, he and the members of his survey team came to the desert to inspect the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom. They got separated in a sudden strong wind and sand. Then they were never found again and disappeared in the desert.
Among them, in the vast desert, if we haven’t contacted you for so long, it must be very bad.”
He Qing exhaled and said: "It's exactly what Master Dong said. It should be him without a doubt! It turns out that he went missing in 1984 and lost his way in the desert. 1984 was a full thirty years ago.
Ah! No wonder he was confused about the satellite phone and mobile phone I mentioned, because the first truly modern mobile phone was only available in 1985. It is normal for him to be unclear, but how on earth has he been able to use it after so many years?
Survived?"
Lin Haitao said: "That's not right. What he just told us is that he and his teammates separated only a month ago, and according to the information found on the Internet, he was fifty-nine years old in 1984."
Well, thirty years have passed. If we meet him again in the desert now, he should be ninety years old and unable to walk. So Qi Qi Qi here, what we met is
Could it be that Master Dong thirty years ago really saw a ghost and saw his lost soul in the desert?!"
When they said this, they were all silent for a while, and a strange atmosphere suddenly enveloped the surroundings.
It’s weird at this time, extremely weird!
After pondering for a long time, He Qing said: "No, I still don't believe that the ghost I met is Master Dong. You also saw it just now. How does he look like a ghost? If you go by what he said, he just wandered off.
Yue, then the nonsense he said before is normal, but he thinks there is something wrong with us."
Lin Haitao smiled bitterly and said: "It's been thirty years, why is it only one month? Isn't this a big difference?"
He Qing responded: "I know, I am assuming."
"Brother Qing, did you think of something?" Lin Haitao asked after a pause.
He Qing said: "No, this is an unsolvable mystery, unless we see Master Dong again and take him out of the desert, so that the truth can be revealed to the world!"
"I hope I don't run into him again, it's too weird and scary!" Lin Haitao said.
They stopped talking about this strange thing and hurried on their way.
Before it got dark, they finally arrived at a rest stop that Brother Xing and the others were talking about.
When he arrived at the rest stop, He Qing couldn't help but think of a movie produced by the famous Hong Kong director Xu Ke, a very old and classic martial arts movie called "New Dragon Gate Inn".
The place they arrived now was like an inn, gathering people from all over the world, including blond Western travelers, archaeologists, explorers, and of course, Japanese, Korean, and other Asian people.
.
He Qing always felt that those people were not a good person, but fortunately, nothing happened during the rest of the night.
The next day, He Qing and Lin Haitao had breakfast together. After eating, He Qing said: "Haitao, you and Uncle Pang stay here to look at things. I will take Ah Xing to the ruins of the ancient city. If
No surprise, I’ll be back soon, and then we’ll explore the treasure again.”
"Okay, you can go with peace of mind, we will keep an eye on the baby." Lin Haitao happily agreed.
After saying that, He Qing took Brother Xing and drove the Land Rover to the ancient city of Loulan.
The ruins of the ancient city were not far from the rest stop where they were stationed. He Qing and Brother Xing arrived there in about three or four hours.
When he entered the ancient city of Loulan, the capital of the legendary Loulan Kingdom, He Qing realized that this place was far from as beautiful and mysterious as in the legend. There was only one word for him, that was "desolation"!
Extremely desolate!
Now all they can see are some broken walls and some pieces of ancient ceramics scattered on the ground.
He Qing could hardly sense any aura, and everything around him was too ordinary.
It’s a waste of time, nothing gained!
"A Xing, let's go back." After casually looking around the ruins, He Qing called to Brother Xing.
Then they drove out of the ancient city and returned to the rest stop.
"Brother Qing, have you seen the ruins of Loulan Ancient City?" When seeing He Qing, Lin Haitao said with excitement, "Doesn't it feel good?"
He Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "What's so good about it? From the perspective of a pure visitor, that place is too ordinary and there is nothing much to see anymore? But that's right, after so many years of exploration, what can still be left behind?
What good stuff? Perhaps for Loulan itself, every stone and every piece of grass has infinite research value, but in the eyes of outsiders, you really can’t see anything, so it’s okay not to go. Okay
Okay, let’s get ready and then continue to set off and rush to the front.”
The ruins of Loulan Ancient City were just a place he took a look at on the way. The final destination was not here, but the ancient tombs that Brother Xing and the others had explored before, where the treasures were hidden.
After discussing it, He Qing and the others set off. The place was not far from the outskirts of Loulan Ancient City, and it didn't take long for He Qing and his party to get around.
But when he got there, He Qing was also disappointed, because those ancient tombs had been hollowed out by tomb robbers, not to mention the huge treasures like the golden coffin, and not a single fragment of cultural relics was left.
After entering the cemetery to check to no avail, He Qing groped around the ancient tomb for a long time, but also found nothing.
He Qing and the others could only return to the rest stop with regrets.
I rested for a night and regained my energy.
When we got together the next day, He Qing called Lin Haitao and others to his side and announced: "We will go back along the way right away to find Master Dong from thirty years ago. We saw him by mistake the day before yesterday, but it was actually him
Giving us a hint, we hope to solve this unsolvable mystery, the unparalleled mystery about the ancient city of Loulan!" (To be continued...)
