Xixia dead book

Chapter 185 The KGB and the CIA (22)
Tang Feng took another half step forward involuntarily, and walked to the woman's mask. Looking at the weird mask, Tang Feng felt his heartbeat seemed to have stopped, and his whole body was stiff. There were two holes in the mask, which were the woman's eyes. Tang Feng wanted to see the woman's eyes clearly, but... but those two black holes were like deep caves, bottomless!

Tang Feng's pupils dilated rapidly, why... why can't he see the woman's eyes?Tang Feng wanted to speak, but he couldn't utter a word with his mouth half-opened, but... But miraculously, his stiff hands were lifted straight up to the front of the woman's mask.

Tang Feng felt that his arms no longer belonged to him. He could not control his hands at all. He forced himself to concentrate and regain his hands, but everything was in vain. He clearly felt that his fingers had touched the cold mask. But he couldn't control his hands, so he gently lifted the woman's mask. At that moment, Tang Feng's heartbeat stopped suddenly, and his dilated pupils stared at the incredible scene in front of him—under the woman's tall hat. Next, there is nothing, and there is nothing behind the mask, but Tang Feng can clearly see the concave and convex curves revealed in the woman's gorgeous robe, this... What is going on?

Tang Feng stepped back in horror, and his arm seemed to return to his body. At this moment, the mask was in his hand, and he was staring at the woman at a loss, or at the woman's robe, and the woman's voice repeated rang, "Young man, do you know why I wear a mask?"

"You...you are a ghost..." Tang Feng finally choked out such a sentence.

"No, it's all because someone stole my face." The voice still came from the woman, but Tang Feng couldn't see the woman's mouth moving at all.

"Steal...steal your face!?" Tang Feng retreated to the Populus euphratica tree again.

"Yes, so I can only wear the mask. Alright, young man, return the mask to me!" The woman said and walked towards Tang Feng again, no!Tang Feng noticed that the woman almost drifted towards him this time. Could it be that there is no body in her gorgeous robe?

"No, you...don't come here!" Tang Feng suffocated and leaned against the trunk of Populus euphratica, the woman had already raised his right arm towards Tang Feng, just like...just like on the black stone during the day, Tang Feng felt My chest seemed to be pierced by something, and there was a piercing pain. Then, my hands picked up the mask again involuntarily, and respectfully returned the mask to the woman.

When the woman put on the mask again, Tang Feng thought of running away, but he couldn't bear it anymore, couldn't bear this Populus euphratica forest, everything here!But just as Tang Feng was about to turn around, he felt that his body was entangled by something, and he couldn't move. He looked down and saw a withered, shriveled arm without a trace of blood. This was a strange but familiar scene. Tang Feng's Immediately realized in my mind - mummy!
Tang Feng collapsed, and the music in his ears changed from cheerful to sad. Tang Feng suddenly discovered that the strange-shaped Populus euphratica in the Populus euphratica forest began to change. Slowly, slowly, each Populus euphratica became a body Tang Feng didn't dare to look back at the horrible mummy. He felt that there were countless arms of mummy stretching towards him behind him... and the woman in front of him put on a mask and showed a weird smile, yes!Tang Feng saw that the woman wearing the mask did indeed smile at him again. The cold mask seemed to transform into a woman's face in an instant. This... How is this possible?

But all this was clearly happening in front of Tang Feng's eyes. Tang Feng yelled and woke up. The surroundings were extremely quiet. He realized that he had another nightmare. At this time, dawn had already dawned in the east, and Tang Feng shook his heavy head. , he suddenly remembered that he should be on duty in the middle of the night, and now it was almost dawn, why didn't Han Jiang wake him up?

A bad premonition arose in Tang Feng's heart. He sat up quickly, and the sleeping bag next to him was empty, and Han Jiang was nowhere to be seen. Taking a closer look, the sleeping bag seemed to have never been moved. Looking around, he was still in the Populus euphratica forest Here, the masked woman was not seen, and the strange music was not heard. Tang Feng's heart sank. Where are Han Jiang and Liang Yuan?

Tang Feng got out of his sleeping bag, opened the car door, and saw that Liang Yuan was lying in the car dreaming sweetly, so he felt a little relieved, where is Han Jiang?Tang Feng turned around the car, only to find that Han Jiang was sitting slumped on the ground, leaning against the car, in a deep sleep.However, what surprised Tang Feng was that Han Jiang, who had always been snoring loudly, was silent at this time, as quiet as a sleeping baby!
Tang Feng walked over and kicked Han Jiang, "Hey! Hey! Wake up, wake up, it's time to change shifts."

"Shift change?!" Han Jiang woke up with a start.

"It's good for you. You sleep soundly during the night duty, and you have been tested for a long time?"

"I...why did I fall asleep?" Han Jiang was also surprised, "What time is it now?"

"It's almost dawn!"

"Damn, it's almost dawn, and you came to change shifts?" Han Jiang was a little annoyed.

"Nonsense, you are the one who calls me every time, who knows that you fell asleep this time too, ha, don't talk about me in the future!" Tang Feng was merciless and merciless.

"Even if I fell asleep, you should get up and replace me at that time. Do you know what the consequences would be if someone sneaked up on us at night? Ah! We will die miserably!" Han Jiang said angrily.

"Forget it, in this ghost place, don't take it too seriously, just let fate!" Tang Feng didn't seem to care about Han Jiang's so-called danger.

"Damn it, maybe I really have to resign myself to fate. I... What's wrong with me? I've never made such a low-level mistake. I actually fell asleep when I was on duty at night, and I overslept. What the hell is going on with all this?" What happened..." Han Jiang muttered to himself again, as if recalling.

The quarrel between the two woke up Liang Yuan. Liang Yuan pushed open the car door, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and yawned, "What are you two arguing about so early in the morning? You woke me up."

"Hmph, my eldest lady, you can eat well and sleep soundly!" Tang Feng said angrily.

"Yeah! I slept soundly, isn't it good?" Liang Yuan looked at Tang Feng with big bright eyes, "And... and I still remember, I had a dream last night."

"Dream?!" Tang Feng and Han Jiang said in shock at the same time.

"Meng, what's the matter?" Liang Yuan didn't understand why Tang Feng and Han Jiang were so surprised.

"I remembered, I also had a dream! The dream was very long, no wonder I slept until dawn." Han Jiang said first.

"What? You all had a dream?" Tang Feng was shocked.

"What? Are you dreaming too?" Han Jiang and Liang Yuan turned to Tang Feng together.

"Yes, I'm having nightmares again! I'm dreaming... dreaming of the masked woman?"

"Ah—" Liang Yuan and Han Jiang exclaimed almost at the same time, "I also dreamed about that woman wearing a mask!"

"This... how is this possible?! The three of us all dreamed of that woman wearing a mask?!" Tang Feng fell into extreme shock.

"But...but...but what I had was not a nightmare." Liang Yuan said hesitantly.

"Not a nightmare?" Tang Feng was surprised, and then turned to Han Jiang, "What about you?"

"I..." Han Jiang supported the car body, frowning, as if recalling, but also seemed to be in pain. After a long time, Han Jiang said: "My brain hurts now, I remembered, last night was a terrible In the beginning, I was driving wildly in the Gobi Desert, chasing the black Grand Cherokee, just like what happened to us yesterday, but the road was very long, very long, strangely."

Han Jiang deliberately used several "very long", Tang Feng said angrily, "What does it mean to be very long, very long?"

"It means very long, very long, very long!" Han Jiang said four more "very long".

"Damn, can you be more specific!"

"I don't know how long it is. Anyway, I spent most of my dream chasing. The boundless Gobi Desert is endless and endless. I don't know how long I have been chasing in the Gobi Desert, but I just can't catch up. In that Grand Cherokee, the two cars kept a distance of more than ten meters. Finally, we came to the black stone, and the masked woman appeared again. Standing on the high black stone, she raised her right hand at me again, and then A raging fire broke out on the Gobi Desert..."

"You are like dreaming about the scene of yesterday's daytime!"

"No, it's not the same," Han Jiang looked very excited, "This time the raging fire surrounded me, I drove through a wall of fire, and as a result, the masked woman stood upright in front of my car, if it wasn't for me I braked in time and ran into the woman; I was wondering, but unexpectedly, the woman in the mask raised her right hand at me again, this time I was so close to her, I could even...even clearly see The mask on her face, that mask seems to be smiling at me, no! It's her, the woman wearing the mask is smiling at me, I don't understand how she came to me from the black stone in an instant, but the instinct of survival prompted me Can't let her raise her right hand at me anymore, the moment she raised her right hand at me, I slammed on the gas pedal, reversed first, and then rushed towards the woman, I watched the car hit the masked girl, but...but she was safe and sound, and appeared in front of me again."

"Did you really hit it? Didn't you see it?" Tang Feng asked in surprise.

"I'm sure, I must have hit it. But the woman appeared in front of me again in an instant. Before I had time to react, she raised her right hand again. Immediately afterwards, my car was engulfed in flames. I jumped The car, the car soon exploded, I escaped and sat on the ground in a state of embarrassment, at this time, the woman in the mask appeared in front of me again, I became furious, and before she raised her hand, I punched her I hit it, but I didn't hit anything. Instead, I fell down because of my unstable center of gravity. I sat up and found that the mask had changed. The mask was smiling at me. I pounced on it again, but I still pounced Kong, so many times, I was exhausted and collapsed on the ground, I yelled at the woman, "Who are you?" The woman didn't speak, just smiled at me, it was a strange and weird smile, I After yelling a few times, the woman still didn't speak, and I became even more angry. I wanted to stand up from the ground, but found that I had no strength in my body, and I couldn't stand up anyway. At this time, I saw... I saw wearing a mask The woman raised her right hand slightly, and then I was surrounded by raging fire..."

"What happened next?" Liang Yuan urged.

"Later? Then I was woken up by Tang Feng. It's really strange, I've never been so careless, and I seldom have nightmares, so... what's wrong?"

"Blame me, if I hadn't woken you up, you would have been burned to death by hellfire!"

"Hellfire?" Han Jiang suddenly remembered something, "By the way, when I was face to face with the masked woman, I clearly remembered that there were two holes in the weird metal mask, which were the eyes, but I I can't see the woman's eyes."

"Because she has no eyes at all!" Tang Feng said.

"What? No eyes?" Han Jiang and Liang Yuan asked in surprise.

"Not only has no eyes, but also no face!" So Tang Feng told Han Jiang and Liang Yuan about his nightmare.

"Stolen face? What you said is too bizarre, why did I ask that woman life and death, she didn't open her mouth, and she told you so much?" After listening to Tang Feng's dream, Han Jiang felt too too bizarre.

"It's very bizarre, but I still remember everything in the dream clearly." Tang Feng said with certainty.

"Steal face?" Han Jiang seemed to be lost in thought. After a long time, Han Jiang suddenly slapped Tang Feng, "This dream of yours reminds me of someone."

"who?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that this masked woman is probably not hiding the queen?"

"Well, but that's just my feeling. Could it be that Empress Wuzang has been resurrected?" Tang Feng said very unconfidently.

"Do you still remember the bones in the Buddha statue? We brought them back from Petersburg..." Han Jiang suddenly mentioned the bones.

"Of course I remember, Professor Chen and Xiao Lu still lost their lives because of this, and of course you are still the suspect of killing Xiao Lu, ha ha!" Tang Feng smiled wryly at Han Jiang.

"Come on, stop talking nonsense, let's get down to business, Tymoshin once told you that this Buddha statue was discovered by Koznov from the great stupa in Heishui City in 1909."

"Yes, that tower was called the 'Great Tower' by Koznov because of this shocking discovery."

"Later, Russian scholars discovered the bones in the Buddha statue. According to Yifengge's conclusion, the bones were probably the bones of the empress who did not hide. During this period, the skeleton and skull of the bones were separated for a long time. When we brought the bones back to Beijing When appraising Chen Zijian, Professor Chen once suspected that the skull and body did not come from the bones of a single person."

"Yes! Professor Chen's test results at that time showed that the bone age of the skeleton was eight to ten years older than the bone age of the skull, so Professor Chen repeatedly asked us if we had mistaken the bones." Tang Feng's thoughts returned to Chen Zijian in the laboratory.

"Although we felt strange at the time, we didn't think too much about it. We thought that the bones might have been confused by them when they were in Russia. Then, Professor Chen died strangely, and then Xiao Lu also..." Han Jiang wanted to speak again end.

"Now that I think about it, it is very likely that Misha and those Russian scholars did not make a mistake. Then, there is only one explanation. The skeleton that Koznov discovered from the pagoda in Heishui City in 1909 was originally like this. Head and body belonged to two different women."

"And the age difference between the two when they died should be eight to ten years old, and they belonged to two party women in the early Xixia period." Han Jiang added.

"Yes, that should be the case."

"So, which one is the real Empress Wuzang?" Han Jiang stared at Tang Feng and asked.

Tang Feng's eyes brightened, "You suspect..."

"Whether it's our hallucinations or dreams, if the woman wearing the mask is the Empress Wuzang, then the Empress Wuzang whose face was stolen is wearing a mask, and where did her face go?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng .

"Went to the Buddha statue in Heishui City! It was placed on another woman's body!" Tang Feng was shocked when he came to this conclusion, "This... this is incredible."

"I also find it unbelievable, and now we can't prove that the woman wearing the mask is the Queen of No Hidden. How could she appear in the Gobi desert? According to my rigorous and rigorous logical reasoning in the past, everything I just said is actually true. It is very difficult to establish, but all of this is such a coincidence. The bones belonging to two different women were sealed in the Buddha statue, and the face of the party noble woman wearing a mask was stolen. Let's think together!" Han Jiang frowned and cast his gaze into the distance.

After a while of silence, Tang Feng suddenly heard Liang Yuan muttering to herself, "Why...how could this be?"

"What do you mean?" Tang Feng didn't understand what Liang Yuan meant.

"Yes, miss, what should I do?" Han Jiang also asked.

"I slept very soundly and deeply last night. I also had a dream, but it was different from both of you. I didn't dream of such a horrible scene. My dream was very quiet, peaceful, and even...even very Cozy."

"Quiet? Peaceful? Warm! Have you dreamed of a woman wearing a mask?" Tang Feng was at a loss.

"I dreamed about it too!" Liang Yuan replied.

"Miss, do you have a fever? You dreamed of a woman wearing a mask, but she was still quiet, peaceful, and warm? Even I was scared to death!" Han Jiang sneered.

"Yes, my dream is also very long. I dreamed that I was in a Populus euphratica forest. Of course, it was not the small Populus euphratica forest in my dream. The Populus euphratica forest in my dream was very large and beautiful. The golden Populus euphratica forest had a clear spring next to it. , I lived in a snow-white tent, and when I woke up in the morning, I heard beautiful music..."

Tang Feng interrupted Liang Yuan, "I also heard the beautiful music, but it soon turned into a weird music."
