Xixia dead book

Chapter 219 The Finale of Death (9)
"Why, are you worried that Buldenko is not dead? You went to collect his body back then!" Tang Feng said in surprise.

"Because I collected the corpse for him, I am even more worried. Could it be... Could it be that I made a big mistake decades ago?!" Makarov looked worried.

"Well, even if Buldenko didn't die, even if your previous inferences are true, how can you explain what happened later? Buldenko didn't have to die on purpose? After training for so long, why didn't the students go into the desert to find the city of Hanhai Mi? , but what kind of riots are going to happen? This is also the third point I wanted to say just now."

"I can't say that, maybe their plans have changed..." Makarov was stopped by Tang Feng's three questions, and he remembered that dream again, just a little bit short, he could see Seeing the truth, thinking of this, Makarov suddenly regained his spirits, "Tang Feng, but my dream just now is completely in line with my deduction, that general knows me, and through his words, I can tell that he is very Probably Buldenko!"

When Makarov said this, Tang Feng smiled, "Old Ma, you have been an agent all your life, why are you so confused now, your dream is because you have begun to doubt Burdenko these days, so when you dream Ke is an imaginary target, how can you use a dream to prove it!"

When Tang Feng said this, Makarov was speechless, and Tang Feng continued to laugh and said: "When we were in the bunker, we also suspected Burdenko, but you always insisted that Burdenko was dead. Why are you so serious now? Firm Bultenko participated in the conspiracy, even the general who is the mastermind? I think it's all because of your dream!"

"Really?" Makarov also began to wonder if his judgment had made an error?Which ones are facts, which ones are my imaginations, and which ones are dreams?

[Section [-] Emperor's Que]

Tang Feng and Makarov chatted for a long time, until the sky was bright, they still did not have a unified understanding. Although Tang Feng pointed out Makarov's loopholes, Makarov also began to doubt whether he had made a mistake, but in the end Makarov Rove still insists that there must be something wrong with Buldenko, either he is not dead, or there is a mysterious figure behind him!
After breakfast, Tang Feng and the others were still thinking about Han Jiang and Yelena, and they didn't dare to stay here for long. The three bid farewell to the famous uncle, got on the camel, and hurried on the road.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan rode a camel, and Makarov rode a camel alone. They followed the road they came the day before yesterday. At the same time, they also referred to the path that Uncle Wei gave them. Soon, they went to Entering the vast sea of ​​sand, I can no longer find the yurt of the little Shui Paozi and the uncle Weiming.Tang Feng couldn't help but have a strange thought in his mind, that Shui Paozi and Uncle Wei Ming's yurt suddenly became illusory in his mind, did that peaceful Shui Paozi and Uncle Wei Ming's yurt really exist?Perhaps they were all arranged by Changshengtian, specially to rescue him from the outside world?

Thinking of this, Tang Feng couldn't help sighing softly, but saw Liang Yuan wrapped her head tightly with a scarf, "Who gave you this scarf?"

Liang Yuan looked back at Tang Feng. Tang Feng suddenly noticed that Liang Yuan's eye sockets were painted with black things, and he couldn't help saying in surprise: "You still have time to put on makeup. What is this? The latest cosmetics?"

"What cosmetics, it's charcoal!"

"Charcoal? Your brain is burned out, and you put charcoal on your eyes?"

"Hmph, what do you know, this is what the famous aunt taught me. During the day, the desert is warm and high, and there are no plants to cover it. Human skin can't stand it, so wrap your head with a wet turban, and then use charcoal to cover it. Apply it around the eyes to prevent the skin around the eyes from getting cracked." Liang Yuan explained.

"There's another thing to say!"

"Tang Feng, Liang Yuan is right. We used this method when we were training in the desert." Makarov echoed.

"But I feel that the temperature in the desert here is not high!" Tang Feng looked at the sky. Today is a fine day. The sun shines on the desert, but it is not very hot.

"Yes! But who knows what will happen in the Valley of the Wolf?" Makarov also looked up at the sky.

"At least today there won't be as much fog as yesterday!" Tang Feng said with luck.

"Who knows, the terrain in Wild Wolf Valley is complex and the climate is changeable, we still have to be prepared!" Makarov said worriedly.

The three of them turned over a few tall sand dunes, and they suddenly found to their surprise that at the end of the horizon, red mountains appeared on the left and right sides. Tang Feng couldn't help muttering: "What a strange place, we seem to be Entered the Wild Wolf Valley again!"

"But we didn't see any obvious signs?"

"Don't forget what Wei Ming said. He said that the section of the valley we walked before was only the outer area of ​​the Wild Wolf Valley, and did not enter the core area!" Makarov reminded.

"The core area? Where is the core area?" Liang Yuan was puzzled.

"I think we must at least go back to the Yadan landform first, maybe... maybe there is the gate to enter the core area!" Tang Feng said, looking at the yellow sand in the distance.

"The gate? That incomparable gate?" Liang Yuan recalled the letter Misha wrote to his grandfather.

"I hope so!"

"Look, what's that low-lying place in front?" Liang Yuan suddenly pointed to the front of the camel and shouted.

I saw a few reeds swaying in the breeze about 500 meters in front of them on the left. A large area ahead of the reeds was not yellow sand but mud. Not long ago, it was a Haizi, or a part of Haizi." Makarov quickly judged.

"Could it be... Could it be that the legend is true? What the masked woman told me in the dream is also true..." Tang Feng couldn't help murmuring.

"Tang Feng, what do you mean?"

"The Fountain of Rebirth..." Tang Feng emphasized his tone.

"You mean this area that has just dried up is part of the Spring of the Dead?" Makarov asked back.

"Yes, and it is likely to be the boundless Haizi who lost us the day before yesterday!" Tang Feng said.

"Is this impossible? The vast expanse of water the day before yesterday has dried up today?" Liang Yuan shook her head in disbelief.

"You have forgotten that today we walked in according to the route we remember the day before yesterday, so we should probably see that boundless Haizi again, but we have been walking for so long, but we have not seen a small blister This is the only place where there is such a large piece of mud that has just dried up, so I deduce that this is a part of that Haizi! The legendary Spring of Rebirth can be large or small, and the water surface should be constantly changing." Tang Feng explained.

Liang Yuan's eyes moved suddenly, and she said, "Then there is no heavy fog today, so we can walk along the mud and see the whole area of ​​Haizi clearly."

"No, our first task is to find Han Jiang and Yelena. If they are all right, they should still be waiting for us at the place where the jeep caught fire." Tang Feng said firmly.

"Yes! I don't think they will go far, they should still be there." Makarov also agreed with Tang Feng's opinion.

"I don't know how they are? Even if they are fine, if they stay in that ghostly place for the past two days, they will definitely be attacked by wild animals or something terrible." Liang Yuan said worriedly.

"And those people on the Humvee, if they belong to the general, then Han Jiang and Yelena may have a fierce battle!" Tang Feng said.

After the three of them made up their minds, they rode the camel again and walked along the mud for a while. After finding nothing new, Tang Feng drove the camel to a tall sandy mountain ahead.

Climbing over the tall sandy mountain, Liang Yuan was jolted on the camel and yelled loudly. She jumped over the back of the sandy mountain and went downhill all the way. At first, I was afraid that Liang Yuan's screams would attract the beast and the man in black, and I just wanted to reprimand Liang Yuan and tell her to shut up, but unexpectedly, this tall camel shook Tang Feng, and the camel's speed was getting faster and faster. Faster and faster, Tang Feng completely lost control of the camel. In the end, Tang Feng was so frightened that he simply closed his eyes and let the camel run wildly in the desert.

I don't know how long the camels have been running wildly on the Gobi desert. Tang Feng only felt the wind in his ears, and his internal organs were turned upside down. The camels are leisurely and contentedly walking step by step in a quiet world, and in front of them is the place they are familiar with, huge mounds, grotesque, grotesque, seemingly endless, "We...we have returned to this land of devils City..." Tang Feng murmured.

Makarov's shout came from behind, he was calling the names of Yelena and Han Jiang, Tang Feng looked back, Makarov followed closely behind, and did not transfer the team, he knew that such a loud shout might expose himself , especially to attract those men in black, so hold the pistol tightly in your hand.

Liang Yuan also shouted, Tang Feng drew out his gun vigilantly, and looked around, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at them from behind every sand dune around, "Han Jiang—" Tang Feng also shouted loudly There was a cry, but only the echo floated from a distance.

The camels were still walking slowly step by step, and the three of them fell silent. Tang Feng suddenly felt that the road they were walking on was a bit weird. Looking carefully, it turned out that this road was straighter and wider than other roads in Devil City. The mounds on both sides also seemed to be more regular than other mounds. Tang Feng felt like he had seen this scene before?Yes, in the devil city near Yueerquan, there is also a Yardang landform, with such grotesque mounds, and such a straight road. At that time, I was sitting in a car instead of sitting on a tall camel now. Looking at it comprehensively, Tang Feng sensitively captured an important message—is it just a coincidence that there is such a wide and straight avenue in the Yadan landforms in the south and north?

No, this will never be a coincidence. The more Tang Feng looked at the mounds on both sides, the more he felt that there were articles in it. Soon, they came to the end of this avenue, which was also the end of the entire Devil City. Sand Mountain, Tang Feng was sitting on a camel, still unable to get a glimpse of the world behind the Sand Mountain, but what interested him most was not the world behind the Sand Mountain, but on both sides of the avenue leading to the Sand Mountain, solitary still There stood two mounds—two huge circular mounds!

Facing the scene in front of him, Tang Feng had a feeling of deja vu again. Yes, there are also two huge circular mounds at the northernmost end of Devil City in the south. At that time, they saw the masked mound on the mound woman!Thinking of this, Tang Feng became nervous. He was not in a hurry to approach the mound, but sat on the camel and observed quietly for a long time. At this time, the sun was approaching noon, and the warmth on the Gobi began to rise. Tang Feng Squinting his eyes and staring at the two round mounds, he didn't see Han Jiang and Yelena, nor the men in black, nor the masked woman, not even a bird or a living creature!Liang Yuan became impatient, "What are you waiting for, go and have a look?"

"Don't you think these two circular mounds look familiar?" Tang Feng asked back.

"Of course I can see it, so I let you go and see it."

"Don't forget the woman in the mask."

"I've been looking at it for a long time. Where is the woman wearing the mask? Besides, I'm not afraid of her!" Liang Yuan was quite confident.

Tang Feng didn't wait any longer, he decided to see what happened, so he patted the camel lightly, and the camel walked slowly towards the two circular mounds step by step.Tang Feng still stared at the mound intently, for fear that something terrible would suddenly jump out from behind the mound. When the camel approached the circular mound, Tang Feng did not let it stop, but let the camel go around the circular mound first. After walking around the mound, he made sure that there was no one behind the mound, so he reined in the camel and jumped off.

Makarov also followed, and the three of them gathered under the circular mound on the left. They circled the mound but found nothing. From the position and shape of the mound, Tang Feng felt that this The mound should have been artificially constructed, or at least artificially modified, but he found no direct evidence on this mound to prove his point.

Tang Feng's eyes moved to the mound on the right, and he found that the mound was a bit shorter than the mound on the left. Looking carefully, it turned out that beside this mound, there was still a small half of the mound upside down. Looking carefully, he thought it was a pile of sand. Tang Feng walked closer and looked up at the top of the right mound. There were obvious signs of collapse on it. Obviously, the small half of the mound lying under his feet should have been the soil on the right. The part above the hill.

After careful inspection, Tang Feng clearly saw the traces of reeds and wooden planks in the small half of the collapsed mound, his eyes suddenly widened, "Look, I saw it right, these two circular mounds Man-made, or at least man-made."

Makarov also saw the clues. He looked around and said, "Could it be that we have found the city of Han Hai Mi?"

"No, this can't be Hanhai Micheng, which is completely inconsistent with the magnificent scene in the legend!" Tang Feng denied Makarov's guess.

Squatting down, he carefully began to search around the circular mound for possible clues. When Tang Feng detoured to the east of the circular mound on the right, his eyes widened again. I saw symbols, or traces of words.

Tang Feng carefully identified the blurred line, and suddenly exclaimed, "It's a line of Chinese characters!" And then he slowly read out this line of Chinese characters: "Wei Tian gave the ceremony in September of the 11th year of Yanzuo, Nai Changsheng was blessed by God, Descend the divine tower to the north and south of the city, and the ceremony will be completed."

"What does this mean?" Liang Yuan asked.

Tang Feng thought about it quietly, and said: "I understand, these two huge circular mounds are two faults."

"Que? What is Que?" Liang Yuan was confused.

"In ancient times, two tall pillars would be erected in front of the palaces and mausoleums of emperors to show their majesty. At the earliest, they were two wooden piles or stone pillars. The stone pillars are carved with exquisite patterns, and this kind of que is generally called Huabiao." Tang Feng explained.

"Hua Biao? Those two pillars in front of Tiananmen Square?" Liang Yuan asked back.

"Yes, that is also a kind of Que."

"But the two big circular mounds in front of us are different from Huabiao?" Liang Yuan still didn't understand.

"It's different from the Huabiao we saw in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Party members advocate simplicity, and the buildings are often adapted to local conditions. Here, if you use bricks and stones to build tall gates, or use white marble to carve, it will take a lot of work and time. So I think The party members then used the mounds here to transform and build the magnificent gates before our eyes."

Hearing what Tang Feng said, Makarov remembered, "By the way, I have the impression that there seems to be a similar mound in front of the Western Xia King's Mausoleum."

"Yes, I also remembered that there is such a mound-style gate in front of the Xixia King's Mausoleum, but... it's just that the gate in front of the Xixia King's Mausoleum is not as tall and majestic as these two gates!"

"Oh, so the status here is higher?" Makarov already has a good understanding of traditional Chinese culture. He knows that ancient Chinese buildings embody hierarchy and etiquette everywhere.

Tang Feng also thought of this level, and he looked at the two huge circular mounds and the avenue they walked just now, and couldn't help but marvel, "I'm afraid that's exactly the case! If my judgment is correct, these two gates Que, and the avenue we passed just now, both in terms of scale and architectural shape, far surpass any of the royal tombs of the Western Xia Dynasty!"

"What? Then why is there such a high-level door here?" Liang Yuan couldn't believe it.

"Do I need to say that?" Tang Feng asked Liang Yuan back.

"You mean...it's because of Hanhai Micheng!" Liang Yuan said suspiciously.
