Chapter 152 The Black Coffin in the Desert
Dead man's coffin?I took a deep breath and became a little excited. I looked at the soul urn on my waist. As long as I get this coffin of dead souls, I can resurrect Xiaomei.

"It just so happens that we can leave Yuli County and go directly to the ancient city of Yingpan. Since we found the clue there, we think that it is not far from the ancient country of Xiwu." Qian Jiayin paused and said.

I nodded and said, "Indeed, staying in Yuli County won't do much anymore. It's better to leave early, maybe we can really find some clues in the ancient city of Yingpan."

Yi Chao and Dayang also had the same idea. After confirming, the car drove directly towards the ancient city of Yingpan.

In the car, Qian Jiayin also told us the information about the ancient city of Yingpan. The terrain around the ancient city of Yingpan is flat, backed by Kuluke Mountain, facing the Taklamakan Desert, connected to the Yadan Wonders of Dragon City in the east, and connected to the Tarim Green Corridor in the west. An ancient city famous both at home and abroad on the Silk Road is called "Second Loulan" by historians.It is almost two hundred kilometers from here to the ancient city of Yingpan, and it takes at least three hours to drive.

The Swedish Sven Hedin, the Russian Kozlov and the British Stein excavated Han wooden slips, Renqu Luwen wooden slips and other wooden slips with a combination of characters and Chinese coins here.

In October 1989, a large number of cultural relics were unearthed by the Bazhou Cultural Management Office.

In September 1992, relevant departments transported unearthed wooden utensils, knives and arrows, needles and threads, carpets, woolen mattresses, woolen embroidered pillows, yellow plaids, and woolen trousers to Japan for display, causing shock.

In 1995, priceless national treasures such as colored coffins were excavated, which once again attracted the attention of the world.

And this time, the information about the ancient country of Xiwu came from the investigation of the national treasure dug up in 1995. If it weren’t for Qian Jiayin’s extensive contacts, it would be really impossible to find one among so many pieces of information that is not sure whether it exists or not. Information about ancient countries in the Western Regions.

The road conditions from Urumqi to Yuli County were a bit better before, but from Yuli County to the ancient city of Yingpan, you can already feel the magnificence of the desert.

When she arrived at the ancient city of Yingpan, Qian Jiayin took out a few gauzes similar to masks, and said that she would put them on if she didn't want to eat a mouthful of sand.

Putting on that thing, we entered the city, and quickly found Qian Jiayin's contact person, who was from Bayingoleng, who spoke an unfamiliar Mandarin, and his name was Alam. In the clan, this is the meaning of longevity, which may be the reason for the name. Every time their camel caravan encounters danger, it can always save the day.

Qian Jiayin and Alam chatted for a while, and finally Alam said, "Are some of you going to the ancient country of Xiwu?"

I nodded and said, "What's wrong?"

"It's very dangerous there. I took a group of people in before, but in the end I was the only one who came out, so I hope you guys better give up on this idea. I don't want my best friend Kelina to take the risk with you. "Alam looked at me and said.

Corina?I froze for a moment, and saw Qian Jiayin winking at me, which should be her name.

Yi Chao stepped forward and said, "We will not give up our dreams. I hope you can take us there. As for the compensation, I think it will definitely exceed the value of your entire camel team."

Alam thought for a while, and finally Qian Jiayin gestured to him five times, and he nodded, "I can take you to the west, but you have to listen to us and offend the god of the desert. It's not that simple. It can be solved."

"Okay!" I quickly agreed.

Alam is now hunchbacked and went in to get the camel team. There are twelve camels in Alam's camel team. I, Qian Jiayin, Alam, Yi Chao, and Dayang account for five camels, water and some food. Another five camels were taken, and the remaining two camels were given to the two mouse kings.

After confirming our departure tomorrow, a group of us will also take a rest in the ancient city of Yingpan. After all, we will need to travel a long distance. I don’t think we will be able to get out for ten days and a half months. This should be our last safe night.

That night, because I was afraid that the person who used to lure Molan to plot me would come again, Yi Chao and Dayang slept in the same room with me, but nothing happened that night, but I had a very strange dream.

In the dream, a voice kept calling me. After arriving at the ancient city of Yingpan, the feeling of calling was stronger than before. It was as strong as Zhang Daoling's orthodoxy of Longhu Mountain after I arrived in Jiangxi last time. .

I guess that should be the location of our destination, the coffin of souls, and this call should be what the 'me' said in the video that day, Zhang Daoling's orthodoxy is there!
I'm curious, why is it related to Zhang Daoling, an ancient country in the Western Regions that perished at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty? According to what I know, Zhang Daoling died at the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

What is the relationship between the orthodoxy of King Xiwu and Zhang Daoling?
What is even more incomprehensible is that it was clearly regarded as a reincarnation reincarnation coffin in Taoism, but it appeared in the ancient country of Xiwu and became the Aluoxi sarcophagus used by the king of Xiwu to avoid disasters at that time.

When I got up the next day, I was very exhausted, but we still got on the camel caravan and walked towards the ruins of the ancient country of Xiwu pointed by Alam.

The batch of colored coffins carrying the information of the ancient Xiwu Kingdom were dug out in the west of the ancient city of Yingpan, so we set off and walked directly towards the west.

Riding a camel for the first time also made me very excited. I sat on the generous back of the camel and looked around, looking at the magnificent desert scenery that I had never seen before. I was so curious that I died.

After walking for a while, we passed a pile of ancient tombs. The pile of ancient tombs was so badly damaged that nothing could be seen at all.

When he arrived at the ancient tombs, Alam got off the camel, untied the two live chickens hanging from the camels, killed the chickens, knelt in front of the ancient tombs and chattered, with a pious expression on his face.

I was puzzled by Alam's appearance, so I asked Qian Jiayin what it was.

Qian Jiayin said that the ancient tombs piled up in the Alam family were regarded as holy places, and every time they entered the desert, they would come to worship and bless themselves to save themselves from danger this time.

I also believe in this thing. Seeing that Alam is so devout, I also bowed down and worshiped with him.

After getting on the camel again, we headed west all the way. On the way, Dayang, Yi Chao and I were all in high spirits.

After all, we have never seen the desert, and we feel a little fresh and curious about everything, so we often ask Alam about the things in the desert.

Two days later, the hot sun and dry air tortured our inner freshness and curiosity.

After all, the surrounding area is either Gobi or desert, so it looks like that. There is nothing there, and after a long time, you will get tired of it.

And because I sat on a hunchback for a long time, I felt that my butt was going to be swollen. On the third day, I proposed to walk a certain distance. This proposal was affirmed by Yi Chao and Dayang. After all, the butt really couldn't bear such torture up.

Alam did not refuse our request, let us be careful not to get stuck in the sand, so he slowed down and let us walk forward slowly.

After walking for a while, the sharp-eyed Yi Chao suddenly said, "What's that in front?"

We followed Yi Chao and looked over. Indeed, on the sand pile in front, there seemed to be a black rectangular box, which was still some distance away from us. If it hadn't been for Yi Chao to find out, it would be really difficult to see.

We got on the camel again and continued to walk towards the rectangular box. After walking for a while, we also saw clearly what the black rectangular box was.

It was a coffin, a Chinese-style coffin, a wooden coffin, painted with a layer of black paint, which was particularly conspicuous in this desert.

Everyone in the team was stunned. Alam looked at the black coffin and kept saying, "It's a pity for Simla."

I also don't understand what Aram said, probably it's something like God's blessing.

We just wanted to go up to see the black coffin when we were stopped by Alam, who looked at us and said, "That's the punishment of the gods, we can't go there."
