Xixia dead book

Chapter 220 The Finale of Death (10)
Tang Feng nodded silently, "Let's take a look at this sentence again. Wei Tian's ceremony was granted in September of the 11th year of Yanzuo. 11 years, this is the last year Yuan Hao used, and also the last year of Yuan Hao's reign, but in fact he only reigned for one day this year."

"One day?" Makarov and Liang Yuan asked in surprise at the same time.

"Well, just one day, on the first day of the first lunar month of this year, Yuan Hao had a big banquet for the officials. As a result, that night, under the instigation of Wu Zang, brother Ningling, the prince, took advantage of Yuan Hao's drunkenness and entered the palace to assassinate Yuan Hao. Hao was seriously injured, and the next day, Yuan Hao, a generation of heroes, passed away! After that, Wu Zangxuan Pang killed Brother Ning Ling in the name of killing his father and king, and made his younger sister's son, Liang Zuo, emperor .So this year Yuan Hao only reigned for one day!"

"That is to say, when the two gates were built, Yuan Hao was no longer there?" Liang Yuan asked.

Tang Feng nodded, "That's right. I think the construction time of Hanhaimi City is roughly around this time. This reminds me of that distant legend."

"A distant legend?" Liang Yuan and Makarov were at a loss.

"Do you still remember the big lama on the beach of Qisejin?"

"Of course I remember! But what does this have to do with the gate in front of us?" Liang Yuan still didn't understand.

"Stupid! The great lama once told us the history of their family, and also the history of Hanhai Micheng."

"Oh! I remembered." Makarov remembered, "At that time, the great lama said that before Yuan Hao's death, he ordered a team to carry a large amount of treasure to the far northern border of the empire, where he built The city of Hanhaimi!"

"Yes, our discovery today confirms this legend, which shows that the construction of Hanhaimi City was indeed started before Yuan Hao's death, and it was basically completed within a few years after his death." Tang Feng said this, forgetting Not tired, but a little excited.

"But what does the following sentence 'Heaven descended to the north and south of the city' mean?" Liang Yuan asked again.

Tang Feng was just about to open his mouth to explain to Liang Yuan, but he opened his mouth halfway and suddenly stopped. Tang Feng stared blankly at the line in front of him for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up and walked to the building on the left. Under the circular mound, Tang Feng circled the mound several times, finally squatted on the west side of the mound, bent down, and gently brushed away the floating soil and sand particles under the mound with both hands, and slowly, another line of text was revealed. It came out, this is a line of Xixia script.

Liang Yuan and Makarov went in without knowing it, and followed Tang Feng, "Why is there a line of text here?" Liang Yuan asked in surprise.

"This is a line of Xixia script. I read it roughly, and the meaning is the same as the Chinese script under the mound on the right!" Tang Feng said excitedly.

"One meaning? Is it worth your excitement?" Liang Yuan was puzzled.

"You don't understand, the most important thing is this word!" Tang Feng pointed to a word in this line of Xixia script, "I don't know this Xixia script, but from these two sentences, we can deduce that the corresponding Chinese character is' Que' word!"

"What does this mean?"

"This word once appeared on the ancient map behind the jade screen, and it has troubled me for a long time!" Tang Feng took out the photo of the ancient map from his backpack and pointed it to Liang Yuan and Makarov. Look, "This is the character, which is exactly the same as the Xixia script found under the mound on the left, and this character appeared twice on the ancient map, once in the north of Yueerquan on the southern line, and once here, I have already identified it The first character of the place name on the southern line is "South". Later, at the advanced base, I also deciphered that the first character of the place name on the northern line is "bei", but I don't know the latter character. Now I I finally found out that one of the two place names is 'Nanque' and the other is 'Beique'."

"In other words, there are two gates..." Liang Yuan was still a little confused.

"Isn't this just confirming our previous judgment on the location of Hanhai Micheng?" Tang Feng's words were full of confidence.

Makarov understood Tang Feng's meaning, "There are ques in front of the emperor's tomb and palace. Hanhaimi City was built by Yuan Hao's order, and from what we have learned, Hanhaimi City mainly serves the royal family. The party members here It is mainly the members of the Wei Ming clan of the Xixia royal family, so its status is very high. Not only is it suitable for use, but its scale is far larger than the gate in front of the Xixia emperor's mausoleum. The Nanque and Beique can also be understood as Hanhaimi The south gate and the north gate of the city, this shows that our previous judgment is completely correct, Hanhai Mi City is in the Wild Wolf Valley, and it has two passages."

"That's it. From the sentence in front of us, we can also see, 'Heaven's Divine Tower is in the north and south of the city', 'Heavenly Divine Tower' I judge that these two circular mounds, including the two circular mounds in the south, turned out to be Yes, it is the uncanny workmanship of nature that makes it stand here, but the party members have carried out some artificial transformations, so it is called "Heavenly God Tower"; "North and South of the City", does this just explain my previous experience? It is inferred that the "city" here obviously refers to Hanhai Micheng, and the "north and north" indicates that there are a pair of divine towers on the south and north sides of Hanhaimi City; A northern line, in fact, we were very close to Wild Wolf Valley on the southern line, and even very close to Hanhaimi City, but... we were scared away by the black dust storm and that damn masked woman..." Tang Feng Speaking of this, I was not without regret, but Tang Feng suddenly changed the subject and said: "Now that we have arrived at Beique, it means that no matter how many detours we have taken before, the route is correct. Entering Beique is considered to be entering the wild. The core area of ​​Wolf Valley is getting closer and closer to Hanhaimi City!"

Tang Feng said a lot, and Liang Yuan's head got dizzy, "Simply put, this gate is equivalent to the north gate of Hanhaimi City, I understand, right?"

"That's understandable!" Tang Feng nodded.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's run along this road all the way to Hei!" Liang Yuan laughed.

Tang Feng stood up and looked around, but still couldn't see Han Jiang and Yelena. He couldn't help but said worriedly: "But we can't ignore Han Jiang and Yelena! Besides, we are too few people."

The three of them fell into silence. Liang Yuan looked towards the tall sand mountain in front of Shenque, and suddenly suggested: "Maybe... maybe we can see Han Jiang and Yelena by climbing that sand mountain first. The commanding heights of this area."

Tang Feng and Makarov observed for a while, and it was indeed the case. The two looked at each other, and there was no better way at the moment, so they could only do this. So, the three of them rode the camel again, and slowly walked towards the tall sandals in front of them. Mountain walk.

Every time the camel took a step forward, Tang Feng kept looking behind him, for fear of leaving Han Jiang and Yelena behind. Under the noon sun, there was no one on the straight and wide road behind him. The merchants who came and went and the soldiers who returned in triumph, they all walked on this avenue, but at this moment they disappeared without a trace. History seems to be frozen in a certain moment hundreds of years ago forever. It is so peaceful, so magnificent, and has not changed since ancient times!Those two tall divine towers looked so magnificent and mysterious at this moment, Tang Feng couldn't help sighing: "This is the real emperor's tower!"

But as soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, he heard a crisp gunshot. Tang Feng was startled, but what was more startled than him was the camel below him. Tang Feng turned pale with fright. He clamped the camel with his legs, fearing that he would fall off the camel, and hugged Liang Yuan tightly with both arms. Liang Yuan started screaming again. Images flashed one by one, gunshots, the man in black, Stechkin, the general!But not long after, the camel slowed down. Tang Feng quickly opened his eyes and found that the camel did not run directly to the sand mountain in front, but ran several hundred meters to the back of the sand mountain on the right.

There was nothing in front of him except yellow sand. He didn't understand why the camel was running this way. Tang Feng turned his head and found that Makarov was behind him, and behind them, there was a man holding a gun at They were running towards him, and there seemed to be another person behind him, but that person stood there without moving, and there was another person lying on the ground beside him.

The man ran closer and closer, and kept shouting something. Finally, Tang Feng heard the man calling his name. Who is this?Tang Feng turned the camel back, and Liang Yuan was the first to recognize that person, "It's Captain Han Jianghan!"

"Han Jiang?" Tang Feng seemed to recognize Han Jiang's voice. He patted the camel lightly, and the camel walked towards Han Jiang.

Makarov also recognized Han Jiang, "It's Han Jiang! The person behind seems to be Yelena!"

Tang Feng and Makarov urged the camels to move forward, and soon they came to Han Jiang, "It's really you?!" Han Jiang couldn't believe his eyes.

"Did you shoot just now?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

"Yes! If I don't shoot, can you notice us?" Han Jiang said confidently.

"Damn it, you shocked the camel and almost killed us!" Tang Feng said angrily.

"I've already told your fate, your life is very cheap!"

"What is this nonsense?!"

"Haven't you heard? A humble life is easy to feed, every disaster will turn into good fortune, and death will definitely be auspicious!"

"Bah! Bah! Bah! You are the fucking bitch! Cheaper than anyone else, bitch!" Tang Feng cursed.

The two argued for a long time before the anxious Makarov asked Han Jiang, "Where have you been these two days?"

"Hey! It's hard to describe." Han Jiang looked at their camels, "Where did you get the camels? It looks like you've had a good time these two days!"

"We auspicious people have their own heaven! We have the help of noble people!" Liang Yuan laughed.

"We were out of luck. The damn fog caused Yelena and I to wander around without thinking. We didn't know how to get there. We turned to a lake..."

Tang Feng was surprised when he heard it: "You also saw that Haizi?"

"I can't see clearly, the whole Haizi is shrouded in thick fog, we can only see the area beside Haizi, and, that Haizi is too strange, we walked around Haizi for a long distance, but we couldn't reach the end, why, you guys Also walked to the edge of Haizi?" Han Jiang said.

"Yeah, we didn't see that Haizi clearly either..." So Tang Feng briefly described what happened to them at that Haizi, what happened to Makarov back then, and his strange dream. .

Makarov was keenly aware of some clues, and he asked Han Jiang, "How far have you walked beside Haizi?"

"How far? I can't remember, but it should be at least seven or eight kilometers away. We made a mark on the edge of Haizi at the beginning, but we walked seven or eight kilometers around Haizi, and we still haven't returned to that mark. The place."

Hearing what Han Jiang said, Makarov frowned, and asked again: "So, have you seen other traces on the edge of Haizi? I mean the footprints of other people, or the marks made with reeds. "

Han Jiang thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, we didn't find anything."

"This is even more strange! Tang Feng and I didn't see your footprints or marks, and you didn't see us, and we all walked a long way around Haizi. The scope of this Haizi is really surprising. Alright!" Makarov exclaimed.

When Makarov said this, everyone thought of this level, "The scope of this Haizi is really amazing!" Han Jiang also said in surprise.

While several people were talking, they had already come to Yelena. Yelena and Makarov hugged each other with tears in their eyes. Tang Feng asked Han Jiang from the side, "Then what happened to you later?"

"Later? Then I decided that I couldn't go on like this anymore, so the two of us left the shore of Haizi, completely lost our direction. After climbing over countless large and small sand dunes, we suddenly found a series of footprints in the desert. , we don’t know who these footprints belong to? I thought of you guys, but Liang Yuan’s feet wouldn’t be that big. I have impressions of Tang Feng’s footprints, and they don’t look like yours. I thought of Lao Ma, but I can't be sure, of course, I also thought that it might be the person in the Hummer, because I found that the footprints were very messy, very similar to the series of footprints we followed after we found the Hummer, so Yelena and I decided to follow this Follow along." Han Jiang narrated his subsequent experiences.

"You just walked back to this Yardang landform?"

"Yes, the two of us followed this series of footprints and returned to this Yardang landform yesterday. The series of footprints is still extending forward. We are also worried about you, so we decided not to follow the series of footprints and wait for you here !" Han Jiang paused, and then pointed to a person lying on the ground not far away, "But we waited for you for a day, but we couldn't wait for you, so this morning, Yelena suggested that we continue to follow along tentatively. This set of footprints, let’s see where this person went, and it didn’t take long for us to follow this set of footprints and find this guy!”

"Who is this guy?" Tang Feng kicked the man lying on the ground.

"It seems to be dead!" Liang Yuan said softly.

Yelena nodded, "Yes, this guy is dead. I checked it just now. He is about forty years old. He looks like a Chinese, but there is nothing on his body that can prove his identity and nationality. this thing."

Everyone saw that Yelena was holding a gun in her hand, "Did you find it on this person?" Tang Feng asked.

"Yes, this man has tattoos on his back."

"Is that the totem?" Makarov asked back.

"Well, and it's stabbed all over the back."

"Oh?" Makarov asked in surprise.

Yelena turned the man's body over, and sure enough, the man's back was covered with tattoos, which were the totem that appeared repeatedly. Makarov murmured: "It seems that this is still an important guy."

"In addition, this person has relatively serious burns!" Yelena pointed it out to everyone, and sure enough, the person's back, waist and chest had burn marks. The degree of burns is not a fatal injury, but there is no way to treat it in time, and this guy lost his way like us, so he died here in the end!"

"Then, your previous judgment seems to be correct." Makarov said.

"There is no doubt that this guy belongs to the general! The messy footprints reminded me of the footprints we followed after we found the Humvee. At that time, we judged that the man was probably injured, so..." Yelena stopped After getting down, looking around at everyone, he said again: "Then, the Humvee that was burned before us can almost be identified as the general's person. There were five people in the car, and one person was probably driving at that time, but was burned by the fire. This person should be the guy in front of me, and the other four people should be fine and escaped successfully."

"The question is where did they go? Except for this person, we didn't bump into the other four people..." Makarov thought for a while, and then said: "I speculate that this guy with tattoos on his back is The general's status in the organization should not be low, and if he drives the car, then I guess the status of those sitting in the car will not be low either!"

"You mean to suspect that those four are all big fish, and even the general himself is on that burned Hummer?" Tang Feng asked back.

Makarov nodded, "you have to be clear, this is the last moment, Hanhai Micheng is right in front of you, and the cards are about to be revealed, can the general still sit still? I think he must be right here with us." around."

After a while of silence, Makarov said again: "This also means that our journey below will be more dangerous, and fatal dangers and disasters may befall us at any time."

After listening to Makarov's words, Tang Feng felt a chill on his back under the noon sun.
