Chapter 19 Chapter Nineteen

The four of us curled up on the semi-weathered boulders, and after calming down, we started a new round of exploration.At this time, the sun has already set to the west, and according to my experience, it is only an hour or two before dark.Originally, this boulder was a good place to spend the night on the Gobi Desert, but no one wanted to stay in this creepy place for a second, so the four of us faced the sunset and jumped on the continuous scattered stones, like a beating The floating tiles are gradually moving away from here. We climbed a sand dune just as the setting sun was about to dip below the horizon.At this time, an incredible scene suddenly appeared in the distant sky - a mountain ridge floating on the ground like a screen, faintly shining with golden light.

"Mirage!" I shouted excitedly, this is a rare spectacle! "What kind of mirage? That's the real Jinwei Mountain." Wei Jianguo poured cold water on it, and his tone was quite disdainful. "Jinweishan!" The others were shocked after hearing this. After several days of hard work, they finally saw the mark, and their spirits were lifted immediately, and their excitement was beyond words. Wei Jianguo suddenly leaned towards Ms. Qiao, took out the map and compass, and frothed again: "Look, the direction, coordinates, and distance are completely correct, and the reason why Jinwei Mountain has this name is because it passed by In the afternoon, it will reflect golden light to the southwest..."

How did this nerd change completely?From "stuffy gourd" to "little rogue", and now turned into "crazy", it's only been a few days, the gap is too big, right?Is it because of his nature that he deliberately restrains himself in front of Uncle Wang?Or can't help it after meeting Miss Qiao?I shook my head, and with a confused mood, I strode towards Jinwei Mountain. The sky suddenly darkened, and I turned on the flashlight. At this moment, a swaying beam of light shot from behind, but it was Miss Qiao who caught up.She tore off the corner of my clothes, and said in a cautious tone: "I have something to discuss with you, can we continue our journey and find a place to rest after staying away from the intestinal maggots?"

"What did that guy say?" I pointed to Wei Jianguo behind me. "Of course he agrees, have you forgotten what was written in the note?" Miss Qiao lowered her voice, "He also said that people who hike the Gobi walk at night and don't go to bed until the hottest time of noon." "Alright then! The sooner we get to Jinwei Mountain, the better. That's right! That guy has a compass, tell him to go ahead and lead the way." In fact, I didn't want to stop myself. The maggots had cast a deep shadow in my heart. No matter how tired or sleepy I was, I would never dare to lie on the sand.

As the saying goes, Wangshan runs a dead horse. When the sky is dark, Jinweishan gradually reveals its edges and corners, but no matter how you look at it, it looks like it did yesterday, and there is no feeling of approaching at all. Didn't take a step forward, just kept spinning in place? "Brother, we have nothing to eat, what should we do?" Tianbao leaned over with his hands on his waist, and said something inappropriate. "Eat me up! Do you eat your hands first or your feet first? You're worthless, you just know how to eat all day long." I vented all my grievances on him, but when I saw his languid appearance, I couldn't bear it anymore. Patting him on the shoulder, he said, "We're about to walk out of the Gobi Desert, and we'll meet herdsmen. Then you'll have to eat the whole roasted whole lamb, bear with it!"

"Hehe! You also know how to quench thirst with plum blossoms! It's amazing." Wei Jianguo stopped and interjected, and walked forward at a faster pace.This guy walked all night, his footsteps are still so light, he is indeed a person of nomadic blood.Looking back at Ms. Qiao, she almost collapsed, staggering on both feet, as if drunk, but still had a determined expression on her face. After crossing a barren hill, the morning light suddenly appeared, stretching the silhouettes of everyone infinitely long.At this time, another strange scene appeared in front of it—a tower-shaped building was embedded in the sand dunes alone, like mushrooms sprouting from the ground after rain.This is by no means a mirage, because it is not far from us, and I can even see the lines of every stone on the building.

Faced with this sudden strange scene, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, then ran over in unison and circled around it. Most of this stone building is submerged in the sand, and the exposed part is in the shape of a square tower with a large bottom and a small top. There is no structure on the four sides, only a series of steps that go up neatly... Although the momentum is extraordinary, the shape is unique. It makes people feel unbelievable, and I can't see what it should be called, and what is its use?However, it was obviously built in ancient times. From the smooth edges and corners polished by wind and sand, the weathered black and brown appearance, to the collapsed and damaged top, it all reveals the vicissitudes of time.

"Inadvertently, we found an ancient city that has never been recorded before. This time, it will definitely be included in this year's 'Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries', and it may shock the world..." Wei Jianguo was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently. He took out the map and trembled Put a mark on it. "Can it be eaten?" Tianbao muttered listlessly, and simply lay down on the stone steps.When I saw that this thing had nothing to do with the mausoleum, I also lost interest.Miss Qiao was different, she kept looking at it intently, and sometimes frowned in thought, like a student looking at the test paper.

"In this desert, there are many ancient cities that have disappeared in history. There are several of them that can be traced, and many of them are forgotten and unrecorded. Miss Qiao, you are an expert in this field, tell me about you the opinion of." "Hehe! You're here to test me again." Ms. Qiao first smiled, then shook her head and said, "This architectural style is so peculiar, it doesn't match any known nomadic culture, not even the Central Plains, or even the whole of Asia. There have been stone towers of this shape. What is even more puzzling is that it is very similar to the altars of the Mayans in South America."

"Yes! I can see it too." With Ms. Qiao's agreement, Wei Jianguo became more excited, and he picked up a small hammer to knock on the stone steps.Just listening to the sound of "ding", the stone actually made a pleasant crisp sound, as if it was made of metal. "This is an iron meteorite. There are the most in the southern foot of Jinwei Mountain. It is estimated that it was transported from there." When I mentioned Jinwei Mountain, I suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, so I urged everyone to get on the road quickly.However, Wei Jianguo was not satisfied, and pestered Ms. Qiao to ask: "For this kind of project and this scale, the builders must be a remarkable nation. Which civilization do you think it will be?"

"It's hard to say. Judging from the geographical location and the existing historical data, the only thing that matches is the 'ghost country' recorded in the book. Let's talk while walking!" Miss Qiao stepped forward without losing the opportunity, Naturally, Wei Jianguo didn't like disobedience, so he looked at the stone tower reluctantly, and then followed up. "Go on." "In fact, it's more than that. There is also a description about the ghost country in the ancient book "Zhuangzi Xiaoyaoyou". It is said that in the prehistoric extreme north, that is, in the area of ​​Jinwei Mountain about 10,000 years ago, there was a "one-eyed ghost". It is a ghost country composed of people' and 'poor people'. As the name suggests, a one-eyed person has only one eye, while a poor-haired person has no hair. Of course, this is just an exaggerated description used by the ancients. The so-called one-eyed person, I think that It’s just that they often wear a kind of mask, a kind of mask with only one hole, just like the masks used by electric welders now, and it’s easy to understand that there is no hair.” "Yes, yes, yes! Continue to talk." Wei Jianguo urged with relish, scratching his head, and changed his address from "you" to "you", which shows how obsessed this guy is with the stone tower.Suddenly, a conspiracy theory popped into my head—maybe it's that White who likes to buy these prehistoric things. "That's all about the description of the ghost country. As for when it was established, when it disappeared, and why it disappeared, there is no record. I even doubt that the name of the ghost country was given by later generations based on impressions, but One thing is for sure, that is - it did exist. Because the ancient documents that mentioned the ghost country are not only unique to China, the ancient Greek historian Herodotus also mentioned Jinwei Mountain in the book "History". The one-eyed man's records are, however, very abstract and simple." "So, if we can find physical evidence of the existence of the Ghost Kingdom, it will be included in the world's archaeological history!" Wei Jianguo looked back at the stone tower excitedly, and said with a smile on his face: "There must be other relics near here. Let's look for them as we go." Bar!" "If you can find something better to eat, you can even have a sip of plain water. Brother Wei, when will we go to the end?" Tianbao began to complain again. In fact, everyone is in the same situation, and they are all struggling, but if they don’t take advantage of the coolness to walk more, they will have to wait until dark, because the Gobi Desert is impossible to walk under the scorching sun.Of course Tianbao also understood this truth. Although he was nagging, he did not slow down.Seeing his staggering appearance, I patted Wei Jianguo on the shoulder and whispered, "It would be great if I could meet that ghostly old ghost." "Ah!" Wei Jianguo froze for a moment, squeezed out a smile as if he was about to say something, then held back suddenly, and turned his face forward in a trance. "If things go on like this, let's not even find the golden coffin, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get out of the Gobi Desert." "Will do." "You answered inexplicably, will you meet that old ghost, or will you walk out of the Gobi Desert?" "Look, there's someone there!" Wei Jianguo suddenly pointed to the front and shouted. "Don't play tricks with me..." I was so angry that I was about to get angry, but I saw the three of them running forward with a "crash", as if they had just been injected with chicken blood. When I looked up, the barren hills in front There is really a person standing on the ground. hell?I looked at this man while I was chasing him. He was black all over, with an unusually large head, and a pair of disproportionately large eyes on his blurry face. His figure was even weirder, with a slightly bulging stomach and short and thin limbs. Like a fetal specimen in an exhibition hall. "Damn it, it's another stone statue." Tianbao suddenly slowed down, cursing involuntarily. In fact, I had this feeling from the very first glance, because this "person" is too weird, but I don't want to think about it in my heart, and I always want to keep some hope. When it is shattered at this time, I feel like Tianbao. There is an urge to smash it into pieces.However, Ms. Qiao and Wei Jianguo seemed to be deeply attracted, and they whispered to the stone man side by side. I dragged my legs filled with lead, only to realize that the stone man is not very tall, at most 1.56 meters, which is far from the ones I have seen before, but the fineness is amazing.Was this carved by the ancients?I have this question unconsciously.At this moment, the morning light just came out, shining golden and green on it, the deformed body, the big head, the protruding eyes, the mouth with only one line, and the ears shrunk into two small holes, all revealing a strange aura ... I turned to the back of the stone man to see if there were carved wings and tails, but what I saw was an incredible scene.I saw a straight line like a zipper engraved on the curvaceous back of the stone man, extending from the back of the head to the tailbone.This stone man is wearing a diving suit?I was dumbfounded.Among old man Joe's pile of tomb-robbing outfits, there is a tight one-piece diving suit with a zipper on the back. He once proudly showed it off in front of me, and the effect of wearing it is just like this stone man. I took a few steps back and stared at the stone man with doubts. I just felt that its whole body reflected a vicissitudes, a vicissitudes immersed in hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years...Suddenly, I felt very strange in my heart. Frustrated and lonely, I can't help but look up to the sky, as if someone is calling me from the depths of the sky... "Turn around, everyone, don't stare at the stone man." Miss Qiao suddenly shouted and ran forward desperately.Maybe it was because he really had no strength. After a dozen steps, Te staggered and fell to the ground, unable to get up for a long time. I've never seen her so panic-stricken, and I couldn't help being taken aback, but Wei Jianguo dragged Zhu and the two of us stumbling to Ms. Qiao's side, and fell down in the sand together. "This stone man is so scary, it seems like it will take your soul away." Ms. Qiao put her hands on the ground, her bulging chest rose and fell violently, and said out of breath: "I just had hallucinations all the time. I saw a lot of stars, and I suddenly felt very uncomfortable, even Suicidal urges." "Ah! Me too, feeling depressed..." "Hey! It turned out to be an illusion." Wei Jianguo exhaled forcefully, licked his chapped lips and said: "I wondered why it was suddenly dark and so many stars were flying towards me... I thought it was a mirage!" "What do you think is going on here?" "It must be influenced by the stone man." Ms. Qiao said firmly: "Look at Tianbao, he just stayed there and didn't come over. He didn't respond at all." "Yes! I suspect that this stone will emit some kind of electric wave, which will affect our brain nerves." After realizing that it was a hallucination, Wei Jianguo obviously calmed down a lot. "Is it so powerful?" When I got nervous, I began to chatter uncontrollably. "We walked all day and night, and those who are physically and mentally exhausted are definitely the most vulnerable." "Brother Wei is right. At first I thought the stone man's facial expression had hypnotized us, but you also had hallucinations when standing behind it, which means that it was disturbed by radio waves." Ms. Qiao said to me. "Who carved this stone statue? It's completely different from the ones I've seen before. The fineness can only be compared by modern people." Wei Jianguo looked up at the stone statue again, and murmured, "But judging from the degree of weathering on the surface , at least something more than a thousand years old, it’s too strange.” "Could it be the poor man from the ghost country? This stone man is bald and naked, and looks like a ghost. It may be their self-portrait." Ms. Qiao suddenly turned her head and looked around, and said in surprise: "Look, there are also stones surrounded here. The circle around it is a cemetery, just like other stone statues." "Then... that's even more incredible. Didn't you say that the ghost country appeared in prehistoric times? The first people in the north to use iron were the Rongdi people, much later than the ghost country. If they were carved by poor people, they used iron tools. What tool, and so fine?" "That stone man is still wearing a one-piece diving suit..." I said something out of the blue, which stunned Wei Jianguo, and even Miss Qiao, who had always been calm, yelled "Ah".At this time, Tianbao in the distance also yelled "Ah", but the voice was full of fear, and the pitch was so creepy... Everyone looked over like an electric shock, and saw Tianbao running towards this side like a gust of wind, waving his hands while running, his face was not like a living person at all, "Here comes... bugs, bugs come again..." This is undoubtedly the scariest sentence so far, enough to make people suffocate, everyone seems to be taken out of their souls, and they all look at Tianbao empty-eyed.The reason for not responding is that apart from mental breakdown and physical exhaustion, the most important point is that we have no way to escape. Everyone stared blankly at Tianbao, and behind him, several red intestinal maggots were following closely.With a breath of death between them, they moved forward with weird twisting movements, gradually closing the distance with us. When Tianbao staggered and ran to everyone, everyone stood up "whoosh" and pulled back.In fact, this was completely instinctive, a subconscious behavior generated by the desire to survive. After we barely walked a dozen steps, we finally couldn't hold on, and fell in a mess in the sand dunes, unable to move anymore. At this moment, my mind was blank, and every inch of skin and every nerve on my body seemed to be leaving me...strange!Why do I suddenly no longer feel afraid, but still very peaceful.Could it be that I am already dead? "Look, those bugs have stopped." Tianbao said weakly as he lay on the ground. I turned my head sideways, facing the intestinal maggots, and saw the disgusting ugly heads hovering around a stone more than ten meters away, but they didn't get any closer.Suddenly, they seemed to be unable to hold back, and the electricity crackled.All of a sudden, streaks of blue light shot directly at the crowd. Fortunately, we were far away, and the blue light just turned into white smoke just halfway through, leaving only a faint smell of electric arc. "Why don't they dare to come over? What are they afraid of?" I looked at the blue sky and said to myself calmly. "I don't know what I'm afraid of, I just know that lying down like this is very comfortable, and I'm not so hungry anymore." Tianbao said slowly, with a look of enjoyment. In fact, I also felt this way. From the moment I fell down, it seemed as if something was pouring into my body continuously, and my whole person changed obviously.The mind became sober and calm, and gradually, the fatigue and heaviness of the body completely disappeared, and the whole body felt extremely relaxed. "This piece of sand is so strange!" Miss Qiao suddenly got up and stared blankly at the ground.Obviously, she also regained her mental state, and her pink face was more delicate than before. "Ah! Everyone, get up and watch." She said, kicking everyone's buttocks, obviously excited, "Look, we are right in the middle of the stone circle, and those intestinal maggots are all parked outside the circle." "Isn't this stone circle a cemetery? Could it be that there is something weird buried inside?" Wei Jianguo shook the sand off his head, glanced at the still wriggling intestinal maggots, and continued after a cold war: "Or here There are stone buildings, and intestinal maggots can't get in." "Then let's dig and have a look?" I urged without losing the opportunity, and suddenly realized that since the last time I dug a tunnel to escape from the Tomb of the Three Realms, I had a strong desire to dig into the tomb. "No! Didn't you see those intestinal maggots are staring at you! If you destroy the layout, you will die unjustly." "Miss Qiao is still thoughtful, we listened to her right." Wei Jianguo patted his ass hard, and then said sadly: "If the maggots don't go away, it's not a solution to be so exhausted all the time." "Let's dig it out and have a look! I'm good at this job, just be careful." Tianbao said slowly, while pulling out a small shovel, ignoring the expressions of other people, he squatted down and gently scraped the sand at his feet. Unexpectedly, this stupid boy has become enlightened and knows how to go along with his brother. I glanced at Wei Jianguo proudly.When I noticed that Miss Qiao was staring at me with reproachful eyes, I immediately turned my face to Tianbao.But at this time, Tianbao stopped suddenly, raised his head and said blankly: "There is an iron plate below..." "Iron plate?" Everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and they gathered around to look, only to see a mirror-like smooth metal surface exposed in the sand.This vast desert is deserted, where can such a large metal plate come from? "Pull around slowly." I snapped my fingers, and felt itchy again, so I squatted down and helped with my hands. This piece of metal is slightly curved and buried very shallow. After a while, the two of us scraped out four or five square meters, but it still has no sign of ending.It suddenly occurred to me that the reason why everyone suddenly became energetic might have something to do with it.What the hell is this?I knocked tentatively, only to hear a few muffled popping sounds from my feet, followed by a burst of crackling—the intestinal maggots outside the stone circle were discharging again, more violently than last time. Are they sensitive to sound, or has something to do with the metal plate?I raised my hand and clapped vigorously, but the intestinal maggots were indifferent, so I knocked on the metal plate a few more times, this time, there was another overwhelming flash of light, it turned out that the reaction of the intestinal maggots was really related to the thing under my feet. Faced with this strange and terrifying scene, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to understand the mystery. "Keep knocking, let them discharge all the electricity, then we can rush out." Miss Qiao said excitedly. "Miss Qiao is so smart, it's like Zhuge Liang is alive, it's an honor in my life to know you..." Wei Jianguo's words are more disgusting than intestinal maggots, but I understand in my heart that this is all affected by the metal plate under my feet.Everyone has been very excited, and no one can control their emotions. Is this a blessing or a curse? "Brother, I've dug to the edge. This thing looks like a saucer, and the bottom is full of rocks." Tianbao suddenly raised his head and said. I took a look and saw that Tianbao had been cleaned up to the edge of the metal plate.It turned out that the board was disc-shaped with thin edges, but there was a downward arc, and the thickness of the whole board could only be seen clearly after digging. "Dish? A metal dish?" Wei Jianguo lunged forward, squatted opposite me, stretched out his hands and groped for a while, and then began to dig out the rocks below, presumably to find out the thickness of the "saucer". "Is this the 'flying saucer' that has been frequently reported abroad in recent years?" Ms. Qiao said thoughtfully. "What is a flying saucer?" Tianbao stood up and asked. "It's just a saucer flying around in the sky." I rushed to answer.Unexpectedly, Tianbao was so dumb-headed that he actually said something that put me off the stage, and his tone was quite disdainful—"Brother, aren't you talking nonsense? Let's just listen to sister Qiao's explanation honestly!" Ms. Qiao covered her mouth and smiled. Seeing my blushing, she put away her smile, cleared her throat and said, "Tianhua is right. UFO is a popular name for UFO in recent years abroad. They It is believed that other planets also have intelligent life, and flying saucers are the means of transportation for these aliens to visit the earth." "People in capitalist countries have enough to eat and have nothing to do. They just talk nonsense." Tianbao said angrily, but his eyes slipped to the metal plate under his feet. "You can't say that." Ms. Qiao became serious and said solemnly: "Speaking of flying saucers, there are actually many records in our ancient Chinese books, but they are called differently. The ancients called them Fucha, Chixing, and Da. Mussels, moon beads, etc. For example, in the "Bamboo Book Chronicles" of the Warring States period, "there are evil spirits in the sky, and they come out in ten days", "Jinyang Autumn" and "Tong Zhi Lue" in "Red Star Three Cast Bright Camp", "Dream "Yangzhou Big Clam" in "Bi Tan"...even Su Shi's poem "You Jinshan Temple" is also an eyewitness record, and Wu Youru, a painter in the Qing Dynasty, even painted what he saw as a picture of "Red Flame Flying into the Sky." "According to this, the one at the foot..." I just said halfway, Wei Jianguo, who had been digging out stones, suddenly let out a strange cry, and jumped back like an electric shock, rubbing his hands and shouting, "It's so cold, so cold." , Why is this stone like ice?" I glared at him suspiciously, then went down, and found that he had dug out a half-meter-deep hole under the edge of the plate, and the arc was still extending downward, and the entire thickness was still not visible. This nerd works alone and feels unbalanced. You want me to replace him?But this excuse is too lame. There are ice-like stones in the Gobi Desert that can roast people?Go bluff!I glared at him again, grabbed the shovel from Tianbao's hand, and stepped into the stone pit.And at this time, a faint blue light suddenly flashed from the gap between the stones below... Could there be a gut maggot hiding below?I quickly retracted my feet and stared at the gap. After a while, I found that the flashes were regular, about once every three seconds, and it was silent, completely different from the discharge of intestinal maggots. "What's the situation?" Miss Qiao squatted beside me, took a look into the stone pit, and said in a positive tone: "The body of the owner of the tomb is right below." "Is this really a tomb?" "Absolutely. Look at the way the stones are piled up. Each layer is arranged in two small and one big, which is a typical prehistoric nomadic burial. This kind of burial does not use an outer coffin, but only covers the corpse with a layer of flowers and plants." Then why couldn't Wei Jianguo see it?I didn't say this question because I already had the answer in my mind.At this time, he is no longer an archaeologist, but a scum who collects cultural relics for foreigners. "Then I'll take it out and have a look." "Stop it! This kind of prehistoric tomb usually doesn't have funerary objects." Maybe because she felt that this sentence hurt me, Ms. Qiao was a little embarrassed, and slowly moved away the hand that stopped me.I hurriedly pretended not to notice, inserted the small shovel into the crevice of the stone, picked up a piece and threw it on top... As the stone moved away layer by layer, the blue light became more and more dazzling, and the temperature in the pit It is also gradually decreasing, which is really frustrating.When the last layer was peeled off, what appeared in front of my eyes was a bunch of weeds with fresh colors but withered.Sure enough, as Ms. Qiao said, prehistoric people used flowers and plants as coffins, but how could they be preserved to this day?What's the blue glow inside?With doubts in my mind, I gently pushed aside the haystack with Tiey, and at that moment, a strange corpse was revealed. "It's a child." I looked at Miss Qiao in astonishment. "Ah! There's a flash of light there, why don't you peel it off and see what it is?" Wei Jianguo yelled excitedly when he came over at some point. Something that can emit blue light must be unusual. I originally planned to hide it as much as possible before I figured it out, so as to prevent him from becoming malicious out of greed.Now that he found out, I simply threw the haystacks out of the pit, and just like that, a short, shriveled, dark, mummy-like corpse was exposed to everyone. After taking a look, everyone looked at the stone statue next to it in unison. They couldn't believe that there were such strange-looking human beings in this world, and they were lying in the stone pit under their feet. "In this way, the stone man is the self-portrait of the owner of the tomb." Wei Jianguo looked suddenly enlightened. Suddenly, he jumped into the pit with a "snap", grabbed the shovel in my hand, and carefully moved the corpse. Palm, that's where the blue light comes from. "This child only has three fingers? Ah! The other hand too." I was surprised, and Wei Jianguo had already lifted the corpse's tightly held palm.With a crisp sound, a crystal clear blue diamond rolled down into the shovel.He couldn't wait to reach out to pick it up, but threw it back, squeezed his hands and yelled, "It's so cold, so cold!" I snatched back the shovel, dumped the blue diamond at Miss Qiao's feet by the pit, and climbed up to it.At this time, Tianbao, who had been monitoring the intestinal maggots, shouted excitedly: "The bugs are gone, all of them have slipped away..." impossible!I looked up, but I saw those intestinal maggots retreated one by one as if they had encountered a natural enemy. After retreating a few meters, they turned around and rolled away to the distance. The speed was faster than when they were chasing us. It was like running for their lives. .Could it be that the source of their panic is this blue diamond?Thinking of this, I turned my gaze to the ground again.At this time, Wei Jianguo was discussing with Ms. Qiao in front of Blue Diamond—— "I don't think it's natural, hexagonal, and so well-proportioned." "In any case, it is indeed incredible that diamonds appear here, and they appear in prehistoric tombs." "What's even more strange is that it not only emits light, but is also surprisingly cold. There seems to be no such substance in nature. Ms. Qiao, you have a lot of experience, can you see what's going on?" "I'm also confused. The blue diamonds, metal plates, deformed corpses, and even those intestinal maggots don't seem to be from the earth." "Is it really an alien?" I blurted out. "Ah! Why is there green grass here?" After watching the intestinal maggots disappear, Tianbao turned around and stepped on the haystack. He stomped curiously, but he didn't expect the hay to shatter in an instant... Everyone stood up in surprise, and after a second, they all turned their heads into the grotto. At this time, the strange corpse had turned into a pile of charcoal ashes, leaving only a faint trace. "This kind of phenomenon often occurs in archaeology. Some artifacts buried deep in the ground will deteriorate and be damaged as soon as they come into contact with the air. However, this pit is really shallow and does not have the conditions for sealing. How can this happen? And dry If it melts so badly, there's only a pile of scum left." Wei Jianguo stared straight at Miss Qiao, his thin face full of doubts. "It may be related to this piece of blue diamond. It has been protecting the corpse." Ms. Qiao said and wrapped it in a handkerchief. Maybe she couldn't bear the cold, so she stuffed it into Tianbao's backpack and said, "Everyone Let's work together to clean up the sand on the plate, and let me see if this is the same as the flying saucer reported abroad." At this time, everyone was full of energy, coupled with curiosity, and used their hands and feet together. After a while, a disc with a diameter of more than ten meters was exposed.At this time, everyone exclaimed again, and saw a slightly darker curve in the center of the smooth disk. This curve formed an "S" shape and evenly divided the disk into two halves. The side-shaped small hole, no matter from which angle, it can be clearly seen that this is a nearly perfect Tai Chi pattern. "This...is it just a coincidence!" Wei Jianguo said blankly. Miss Qiao was also taken aback, and then, as if realizing something, she reached into Tianbao's backpack, took out the blue diamond wrapped in a handkerchief, and shoved it tremblingly into one of the two small holes on the disc.Almost at the same time, beams of colorful beams shot out from the hole. Although the sun was scorching right now, it still couldn't conceal the existence of the light beam.What's even more strange is that these lights are not dazzling, they cast leisurely on the heads of everyone.Everyone looked up involuntarily, but saw a mirage-like scene—the first thing that appeared was a vast sea of ​​grass, with several towering trees in the background.At this time, a disc slowly entered the picture, it was inserted obliquely in the grass, and a group of strangely dressed people danced around it.Suddenly, a familiar fetus-like figure appeared on the disk. He raised a hand with only three fingers holding a diamond emitting red light, as if showing to the onlookers... … "It's him, it's the tomb owner who turned into ashes..." I shouted uncontrollably, and before I finished speaking, the picture disappeared, leaving behind a smell of electric arcs. "He took the red diamond? Could it be a pair with the blue diamond, which was originally placed in two small holes?" Wei Jianguo murmured to himself in despair, "Where could it be? This thing is so conspicuous, If you are here, it is impossible not to see..." This guy is really unreasonable, everyone else was shocked by the scene just now, but he only cares about diamonds, which shows how obsessed he is with money.Next, he will definitely do everything for this blue diamond, so I have to be more careful. "Sister Qiao, isn't this a hallucination?" I found a topic and raised my head. When everyone subconsciously looked up, I quickly picked out the blue diamond, wrapped it, and stuffed it back into Tianbao's backpack. "Oh! I'm about to go crazy." Wei Jianguo realized that the blue diamond had been taken away by me, and his face was a little ugly, but he quickly adjusted, scratched his head and said, "Miss Qiao, can you sort it out?" ?” "Where did this start!" "Just start with the scene just now." "Just now! It's probably a kind of electromagnetic projection effect." Ms. Qiao always looked serious when discussing issues.She frowned and thought for a while, then said calmly: "We Zhengtianzhai once bought a piece of ore. This stone is very weird. When there is a strong light like lightning, it will reflect a moving image of a deer running. Later, I consulted experts, and they said that this is just a normal natural phenomenon. The ore has strong magnetism or some unknown energy. In extreme environments, the surrounding video signals will be recorded. When encountering the same extreme environment , it will release the image... It is estimated that this blue diamond also has strong magnetism or energy, and the pictures we saw just now are all reproductions of a certain scene in ancient times." "What? Are these images that actually happened?" Wei Jianguo was still scratching his head. "Hmm! This is what I guessed. In ancient times, the owner of the tomb came to the earth on a disc. It may have malfunctioned and was forced to land on this grassland. The primitive tribes living nearby thought that the gods descended to earth. , it is the head of the horse, and it uses the wisdom far beyond human to serve everyone. It not only mediates the disputes among the tribes, but also imparts various knowledge. Slowly, all the tribes support it as the leader. This is the formation of the ghost country. .” "This...isn't this a fairy tale? It's so far-fetched...it has no factual basis." Wei Jianguo stammered, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.But Tianbao and I didn't care about these things, we just thought it was telling stories, and we kept listening to them with great interest. Seeing that Miss Qiao was a little displeased, we smoothed things over, "People say it's guesswork, why are you bothering about it, you don't like listening to it?" Go away, Sister Qiao, you continue to talk." "I think that the so-called poor-haired and one-eyed people are misunderstood by later generations. It is the imitation of the tomb owner by the ghost country people. The one-eyed mask they wear is actually an imitation of the helmet, and the shaved hair is the appearance of the tomb owner... ..." "You..." Wei Jianguo was about to argue, but when he saw me staring at him fiercely, he stopped immediately. "It is estimated that the owner of this tomb lived for a long time, and finally established a generation of ancient civilization. Shamanism also emerged at that time, because the original meaning of shaman is a wise man and the meaning of inquiry, which is in line with the identity of the owner of the tomb... After its death , people from the ghost country buried it at the place where it first appeared, which is here." Miss Qiao pointed to the disc under her feet, then turned her face to the stone statue behind her, and said word by word: "the people of the ghost country still erected it for it. The statue was used as a commemoration, and the blue diamond was buried with him. Of course, this may also be the last wish of the owner of the tomb. Shaman customs such as erecting stone figures in front of tombs have been passed down in this way, and spread to various tribes with the division of the ghost country." Miss Qiao spoke slowly, with a confident smile on her face, as if she had personally experienced that period of history.Suddenly, I noticed a trace of uneasiness flashing in her bright eyes. “那些肠蛆可能也是外星生物，或许当初只是一些细菌之类的东西，到地球后出现变异，一代代繁衍才变成现在这种模样……”乔小姐开始有些语无伦次，突然脸色一沉，望着我说：“如果追根究底的话，你们耿家的狼咒可能也是一种外星病毒，只是为萨满巫师所利用。” 她这话就如一声惊雷，我跟天保都是一震，不禁重新打量起脚下这个圆盘，突然感觉它在散发着热气。我弯下腰去，正想伸出手去试探，却闻到一股胶皮的味道。not good!这玩意热得连鞋底都冒烟了。而这时，身后的石人像突然发出令人发怵的“咯咯”声，我回头一看，只见原本竖立着石人的地方，此时只剩一堆黝黑的碎石…… “哎哟！好烫。”被这一幕吓呆的众人突然反应过来，纷纷查看自己的脚底，紧接着，一蹦一跳地逃到圆盘外去。 “大家快离开这里，弄不好这圆盘会爆炸。”魏建国边说边招呼大家往金微山的方向跑。 乔小姐这时仍很镇定，她左顾右盼地观察了一下，可能是在确认肠蛆是否真的离开了，之后，她才示意我们跟上。 众人飞奔在炽热的戈壁滩上，一口气翻过好几座荒丘，然而奇怪的是，不但不觉得疲累，步伐还相当轻盈。这不由得让人联想到那块蓝钻石，或许就是它释放出的能量在起作用。 correct!不是还有另一块闪红光的钻石吗？千万年的沧海桑田，如今它流落到哪里去了呢？我下意识地回头朝远方望去，那圆盘早已消失在视野外，看到的只是无尽的黄褐……
