Strange Tomb [Recommended by the Great God]

"I didn't finish what I said last time. It's true that I came here to find the ancient country of Loulan, because I suspect that what I discovered was just the tip of the iceberg of the ancient country of Loulan, but there is another possibility. The mysterious country was also hidden in the desert because of this." Shi Wenbo suddenly took out a piece of wood from his clothes, and at the same time sighed: "In order to prevent this from being searched, do you know how much effort I spent? .”

Tang Sancheng said: "This is not a piece of wood, it seems to be a wooden slip. What are the words on it?"

"Kalu script." Shi Wenbo said: "This is a script that has disappeared for a long time. The Kallu script originated in ancient Gandhara and was later popular in the vast areas of Central Asia. It was an important language on the Silk Road. Commercial language and Buddhist language. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with the disintegration of the Guishuang Dynasty, the Guishuang refugees moved into the Tarim Basin, and the Lu language began to spread in Khotan, Shanshan and other places. In the middle of the 4th century AD, with the Guishuang Dynasty When it perished, the Khaluwen also disappeared. At the end of the 18th century, the Khaluwen had already become a dead language that no one could recognize. But the problem is that in the 1837rd century AD, the Kharu Wen disappeared in India where it was produced, but why was it found near the Silk Road?"

Tang Sancheng spent a lot of energy digesting what Shi Wenbo said, at this moment Bai Yi said: "According to what you said, it is not unusual for the Kaluwen to be near the Silk Road, after all it was introduced to the Tarim Basin."

"No, no," Shi Wenbo was a little anxious. He felt that he hadn't expressed clearly: "It was true that it was passed down, but in the fourth century AD, the Kalu Wen disappeared. Now this wooden slip is engraved with some The folk customs did not conform to any country that had been certified at that time, so I think it either belongs to the ancient Loulan country that has disappeared, or there is another unknown country that uses the Lu language, and it is in this desert .”

"Oh, this is quite interesting." Bai Yi said, "No wonder Professor Shi is so excited. It turns out that there is already evidence, but don't get too excited next time, impulsiveness is the devil."

Shi Wenbo scratched his head in embarrassment: "Actually, I checked the information. This thing either belongs to the ancient Loulan country, or it belongs to a country called Jingjue country. Some scholars also call it Niya city."

"Exquisite country?" Lei Zi raised his eyebrows: "What evidence is there this time?"

"French explorer Gohenne tried to find an ancient country in the Western Regions called Jingjue Country at the end of the Niya River Basin, but he failed to find it. After a foreigner named Stein discovered the Niya ruins, he speculated that the Niya ruins were Ge The relics of the Jingjue Kingdom that Erna was looking for. He recorded and published the ancient documents he looted, and the Chinese bamboo slips among them were quickly seen by the Chinese master of Chinese studies. With his rich knowledge, the master of Chinese studies saw at a glance The words on the bamboo slips are the fifth year of Taishi, which is the year name of Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty in China in 269 AD, and this one is somewhat similar to the content of the bamboo slips he found, so I just thought so."

"Exquisite country?" Bai Yi shook his head: "I don't know much about the 36 countries in the Western Regions, I have never heard of them."

"This country, like Loulan, is also located at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, in the Taklamakan Desert, and also belongs to one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. In "Hanshu Western Regions Biography", the Jingjue Kingdom is located at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains, on the southern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, and accepted the Western Regions as the Protectorate of the Han Dynasty. Under the jurisdiction of the king, there are generals, captains, postmasters, etc. Jingjue Kingdom is a small country, but it is located at the throat of the Silk Road, and its geographical location is very important. The environment of Jingjue Kingdom described in history books is: "The marshes are hot and humid, difficult to walk on, and the reeds are dense, and there is no way to return." From the few words in the text, it is obvious that the Jingjue Kingdom at that time was an oasis. But after the 3rd century AD, the Jingjue Kingdom suddenly disappeared. .”

"Also, in the description in the Han Shu, there are only more than 100 characters in the description of Jingjue Kingdom - Jingjue Kingdom, where the king is stationed in Jingjue City, 820 miles away from Chang'an. The population is 480 households, 360 People, including 500 people with combat ability. There are one captain Jingjue, one general on the left and one, and one translator. It is 720 miles away from the Western Regions Protectorate in the north and four days away from Ronglu Kingdom in the south. The terrain is rugged. Xitongmi is 460 miles away."

Shi Wenbo said: "This country is very small, with only 480 households, a population of only 3360 people, and only 500 soldiers who can fight. But although it is small, it cannot be denied that it once existed, and it was active on the Silk Road South Road, famous for its wealth and wealth. At that time, the city of Niya was called Niyang, and it was the most prosperous city in Jingjue Kingdom. Unfortunately, this rich country suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons, so that after 500 years , Xuanzang passed through the city of Niya when he was returning east from the Buddhist scriptures, and he only saw desolation everywhere."

"Under our feet now? Why did it disappear for no reason?" Tang Sancheng said, "It's unbelievable. Now it sounds like the latter is more likely, but what's the matter with Ming Gong? Master said that if you find the Ming Gong, you can find the ancient country of Loulan?"

"It's also possible that Master Lei Zi confused Loulan with Jingjue Country. After all, these two countries have many similarities. Moreover, ordinary people are familiar with the ancient country of Loulan, but Jingjue Country is not well known. "Bai Yi said: "But I believe that in terms of the ability of Xiling Lishi, this Ming Gong must not be hearsay."

Lei Zi was a little upset when he heard the first sentence, but Bai Yi was Bai Yi, and the latter sentence easily resolved the small knot in Lei Zi's heart.

"What is the truth? We can only talk about it when we go out tomorrow. We are fully prepared this time, and I hope there will be no more risks." Bai Yi sat up, the injuries on his body made him unable to sleep peacefully, and the cold night air went straight to the wound Drilling inside, itching, very uncomfortable, Lei Zi suddenly said: "By the way, why do I feel that Gu Lixian is very unusual to you? I saw that when you were beaten, she was very excited, so it can't be that she is interested in you." right?"

Bai Yi shook his head: "Is it because you think too much, or you have not given up on Uighur beauties, or go and talk to Gu Lixian to see if there are any girls of the right age to marry?"

Lei Zi was startled, turned over suddenly, and covered his body with the blanket: "Let's go to sleep."

Everyone laughed, and Tang Sancheng's mood immediately became depressed. The matter of finding the Lingxi fruit sounded more and more hopeless, and he also fell down, turning his back on Leizi. I have been there, it means that it is real, as long as it is there, we have hope, don't think too much."

"Yeah." Tang Sancheng agreed, tiredness finally came up...
