Chapter 22 Chapter 21 The Haizi Who Makes People Disappear

It took 4 hours to walk two kilometers in the sand. When we arrived at the dry lake, the surrounding Populus euphratica forest is still green. It is estimated that it will die soon, and the water here is getting less and less. The sand at the bottom of Haizi was still wet, and indeed there were quite a few stone slabs, all of which were broken.Yang Hao went down and found a small piece, the size of a human thigh, which was the head of a stone beast. "This is not a ruins. These stone tablets were transported from the depths of the desert by others. They may be tomb robbers or cultural relics thieves. It should be that the transportation vehicles here were damaged or encountered an accident. They threw these stone tablets into Haizi. Here." Liang Wan said, "Look, there are traces of knocking and binding ropes on the stone."

"Why do you know everything?" Li Cu asked her. "I've done a lot of homework." Liang Wan told them that these steles must have been dug out somewhere similar to a temple, and one of them had content about a war in Gu Juyan, which took place within a tribe. , It was a battle between the ethnic minorities and the army of the Central Plains, "Look here is a huge round stone building, which seems to be a water storage well, and it should be a war for water sources." The army of the Central Plains was defeated and fled into a desert. Because there is no water source, their condition is close to annihilation.Someone in the army captured a local herdsman and asked him to take him to find water.The herdsman told him that there might be Haizi in three places near here.

So the army in the Central Plains was divided into three groups. One group of troops found a water source, and after supplying supplies, they made a mark on the edge of Haizi, and when they recovered their strength, they went back to fight a big victory.Afterwards, they made a triumphant return and set up a military division here. The Central Plains took control of this place and built the ancient city of Juyan.They returned to the place where they drank water. Liang Wan stopped explaining at this point, touched his ear, and said, "It's a bit strange here, they went back to the place where they drank water, and then—"

"Is it possible that the mark they made back then is still there, but the lake is gone?" Li Cu said proudly. "No." Liang Wan said, "They returned to the place where they drank water, and then disappeared overnight. When the locals found them, only armor and weapons were left on the ground, and everyone disappeared. .” Li Cu came behind Liang Wan and saw the content on the relief. It felt like Wu Xie had also told him a similar story, so it didn't seem like he was fooling him. The reliefs are very vivid. When the herdsmen found those army camps, it should be on a moonlit night.In the moonlight, they saw continuous armor, rolling in disorder on the sand dunes.

He was a little dizzy, if the army touched what he touched, not only the armor, even the herdsmen would not be able to survive.So, this army ran into other things. While commanding Yang Hao and Su Wan to dig through other fragments of the stele, Liang Wan said to himself, "Where are the other two armies? The herdsman who led them to Sanhaizi looks like a ghost." Could there be another moral to this story?" Liang Wan poked at the relief of the herdsman on the stele.The herdsman was carved really strangely, with a flat, ferocious face, really looking like an evil spirit. "This is the ugliness of ethnic minorities at that time." Su Wan said, "This place has never been peaceful in ancient times."

All the stone slabs that could be dug out were searched, and they were all other contents. There were no stone carvings marking the whereabouts of the other two armies.The original relief stele is also quite complete, so it should not be lost. All three of them felt a little uncomfortable. The stele was quite normal, but Liang Wan's words made it look weird.And after she pointed it out, they found that Liang Wan's identification might be correct. The herdsman wasn't really carved into a human being, he was carved into a horrible looking thing.This is no ordinary storytelling technique.

At this time, Che Garibal spoke Mongolian.This Mongolian sentence was very long, and Li Cu didn't remember it at all, but thought it was very special. The three looked at Che Galiba, and the latter explained: "This is the original name of Gutongjing, translated into Chinese, it is the three Haizi that make people disappear." "Make people disappear?" Su Wan asked. "Among the three haizis in ancient Tongjing, it is said that there are three strange deserts connected. These three deserts cannot be reached by walking. People who stay by the haizi will be lured by the haizi. Many caravans and travelers disappear after passing by. The haizi disappeared. These haizi will appear anywhere in the desert. For travelers in the desert, haizi are the most popular things. They are often accompanied by oases. People will not be wary of these haizi. They will Stationed on the edge of Haizi, until the next day, there will be nothing left except tents. People just disappeared, and the other two armies should have encountered the same thing.”

"It sounds like these Haizi are alive, like monsters." Su Wan shivered, "Then why is the last one okay?" "How do you know that nothing happened? How could a failed army become so brave and invincible after drinking water? Maybe after drinking water, they have become something else." Che Ga Liba said, making a grimace, "Maybe he turned into a ghost in the desert." "Then you are still willing to take us there? Besides, you are fluent in Chinese." "You guys are going to Gutongjing. It has nothing to do with these three Haizis." Che Galiba said, "Traveling. However, the place where the three Haizis are going to travel now should be the last time those three Haizis appeared. people go there, they still feel uncomfortable.”

Several people walked back, Liang Wan asked: "In your legend, is there anyone who disappeared after being swallowed by the Haizi in Gutongjing, but reappeared?" "I, me, me, I am, if I was born here, earlier, I might become a famous person, at least a character like Li Cuhan." Li Cuo muttered in his heart, almost wanting to raise his hand to admit it. Che Galiba said: "Yes, there is a person, a Gu Liqi. After he ran away, he didn't remember anything, but he was very rich, bought many big houses, married a Chinese wife, and gave birth to a child. In 1980s, he returned to the desert with his wife and children. He said he could not sleep and did not dare to look in the mirror. He also organized an expedition team. He and his wife and children led a large group of people. I went back to Gutongjing, saying that I wanted to find out the mystery in his heart, and no one has seen them since. He is very famous, and my father has seen this person."

Coulee is a joking name for the Russians.Li Cu guessed that it should be the remnants of the Russian speculators who previously robbed ancient tombs in Heishui City.Don't dare to look in the mirror?With a thump in his heart, he remembered what Wu Xie had told him about Lan Ting. Could it be that everyone who has been to Gutongjing will be recruited?Not only can't it be photographed, but it can't even be photographed in a mirror?Then it would really become a ghost.He was a little flustered, and asked Su Wan, "Is there a mirror?" Liang Wan handed him his makeup mirror.He quickly took a look, and in the mirror was still the face with the beard not fully grown, so he was relieved.Then, Che Galiba said something that made his hair stand on end: "The people who come out of Gutongjing will eventually go back, and they will bring more people back. They are all possessed by the devil." people."

Both Su Wan and Yang Hao glanced at Li Cu, which made Li Cu very uncomfortable.
