It was already past five o'clock in the morning. After they went out, they found that it was already bright outside.
There is still no one in the Gobi Desert, and the yellow sand everywhere gives people a claustrophobic feeling of being thrown far away.
These two orcs have been living here alone. The old lady has been claustrophobic all year round. Apart from pretending to be a human to help get tickets, the rest of her life is in her own crazy hallucinations. She is probably already insane, so she has nothing to say.
.
But the old man could still communicate when he arrived. He sent Chen Zhi out very respectfully, paid homage with a big salute at the door, prostrated himself on the ground, and respectfully sent Chen Zhi and others off.
Starting from Thousand Buddha Cave, you need to walk through the desert for more than half an hour to get to the town.
Xiaomi had taken them through this route before, and Fat Wei had already memorized this route in his mind. It took him less than 20 minutes to cross the desert.
When I called Xiaomi, the response from Xiaomi was very exciting.
It turned out that the little tour guide didn't sleep well all night. He was afraid that something would happen to Chen Zhi and the others in the desert, and he would not be able to explain it later. He wanted to go find them after dawn. When he saw that Chen Zhi and the others had returned safely, he was immediately happy.
Not convinced, he said that he would take them back to the city to eat, drink and play some new things.
But Chen Zhi told him no, and asked him to help find a quiet B&B in Guazhou City. The more remote the location, the better, and then rent the whole place.
They have something to study, and quietness is paramount. There is no need to arrange other matters for the time being.
Although Xiaomi felt strange, he did not express any objection.
This errand run by Chen Zhi and the others was a real saver and worry-free for Xiaomi. Chen Zhi paid so much money, so he didn’t have to travel or explain, and it also saved him a lot of gas money.
So he quickly found an old B&B in the city of Guazhou.
It's said to be an old B&B, but in fact it's just that the house is older, and the interior layout is quite new.
I don’t know when the earthen building was built. It is as high as two stories, has a courtyard, and is transparent from north to south. It is obviously the living habit of the Uighurs.
Xiaomi said that the head of the household did not live here often, but was rented out by an agency.
However, because it is located in a remote location, there are not many tourists staying there on weekdays. The furnishings inside are very new and will be even cleaner after cleaning.
So Chen Zhi and the others moved in. Unexpectedly, this place was really clean. Even though it was located in Guazhou, the decoration in this house was actually similar to modern aesthetics.
It’s just that there are more tapestries on the walls, showing the atmosphere of ethnic minority life.
What is surprising is that there are several computers in the room, all of which work very well, and there is a very good network. They work directly here without any problems.
Because this house had many rooms and Xiaomi was quite enthusiastic, Chen Zhi was not in a hurry to let the little tour guide leave.
They also brought two scientific researchers with them. They had nothing to do during weekdays, so they let the little tour guide live here and take them to see the surrounding scenery.
In the next few days, they integrated the set of "Saint Buddha's Transformation Scroll Wall" saved into Pangwei's mobile phone into the computer, and then zoomed in and analyzed it in detail.
It seems that those two old orcs really didn't talk nonsense. This giant painting called "Saint Buddha's Transformation Scroll Wall" really contains the universe and infinite collection!
If Xuanzang’s Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty is a set of written records, this mural is a set of visual feasts, filled with many scenes from the ancient Western Regions, many of which are miraculous.
The modern world is full of shocking discoveries.
Compared with "Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty", this set of murals is more realistic.
There is no need to think too much about the world of orcs. This mural was not created using human thinking, and there is no need to take into account any political and moral constraints.
There are many detailed paintings in this mural, which are even more amazing when enlarged.
The content contained in the picture is rich and exciting, with detailed descriptions of every region visited on the westward journey.
Including local customs, weather and real estate, and even the crops and flowers growing locally are recorded.
Unfortunately, the most important words recorded above cannot be discerned.
Because this ancient Sogdian language has too little circulation and is outside the frontier fortress, it has long been lost in human language records. Even asking experts to identify it is useless.
In this whole mural, the most important part is undoubtedly the section of Gaochang Kingdom.
When you zoom in carefully, you can see that King Gaochang's worried expression is particularly obvious. Regardless of his face or movements, you can feel the heaviness in his heart.
This style of painting is very weird. It doesn't pay attention to the facial features or realism, but the description of the expression is very accurate.
What kind of person King Gaochang was is not clear from this picture.
You can only see that he is wearing a cloth-wrapped tiara common to people in the ancient Western Regions, which is inlaid with gems, feathers and other accessories.
But when you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can see behind him the subjects and concubines painted in miniature, as well as the buildings and vegetation in Gaochang at that time.
It can be seen from these descriptions that the Gaochang State at that time was very beautiful. It should be a rare oasis on the Silk Road. The oasis was surrounded by green trees, clear springs, and full of fresh fruits and melons. The people lived happily.
However, King Gaochang's eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was very sad. He held the monkey man's hand tightly with one hand, as if saying goodbye to him and not wanting to let him go.
But the other hand was held tightly, as if something was held in the palm of his hand, shining in his heart,
And in the blank space at that location on the screen, there was a lot of text written describing this scene.
It can be seen that something must have happened at that time, which was related to King Gaochang and Master Xuanzang.
This matter must be very important, so it was specially recorded.
If we could translate these Sogdian characters, we would probably discover the secrets hidden here...
"It would be nice to know the meaning of these ancient Sogdian words!",
Chen Zhi looked at the tiny words and said softly,
"What did this monkey man promise to King Gaochang more than 1,300 years ago?
There must be something we don't know about here..."
