Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 43 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (5)
Head Chen shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, the more you talk, the more confused you become."

Academician Qi said: "Xiao Chen, there are really many unexplainable things in this desert. I brought you here because I hope you can get first-hand information. If we can solve all these mysteries, it will be a Things with immeasurable merit, such as that earth dragon, are a very magical creature."

Ma Tianxing said: "Yeah, it's still big, I don't think the few of us are enough for it to eat."

Head Chen said: "Little Ma, don't be so glib with everyone."

Academician Qi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, young people, they always speak a little casually, but what Xiao Ma said is also true. To be honest, there is no record of such a big snake in any data."

I looked at the dangerous sand on the ground in horror and said, "Academician Qi, what if this snake follows us again?"

Academician Qi said: "It's only for everyone to be careful. Many things cannot be completely avoided, but I believe that everyone is a person with great fortune and destiny, just like Ronaldinho. Although he encountered danger, he still saved the day."

Head Chen laughed and said, "Luo Zi, how should you answer this question?"

I said, "There's nothing to say, I can't be less courageous than a woman, can I?"

After walking a few steps, Head Chen said: "I think our car may have been damaged by the tulong's mouth. They must have floated out of the sand first and pressed their bodies against the car, so when the tire burst, we didn't I felt the vibration. But the biggest doubt is that no matter whether it is an earth dragon or not, this creature is not simple, and it may have a certain intelligence quotient."

I said, "Why do you say that?"

Head Chen said: "It's very simple. They only attack the tires and leave the rest alone. This is not something ordinary animals can do."

Academician Qi said: "Xiao Chen's analysis is very reasonable, so it seems that there may be a species that has not been discovered here. Xiao Chen, I feel more and more that it is a very wise choice to let you come together this time."

Head Chen said: "From a working relationship point of view, we are superiors and subordinates. From a human point of view, you are my elder. No matter what the reason is, it is our bounden duty to escort you."

Academician Qi said seriously: "I can't agree with what you said. You are special talents trained by the state. How could you think of using it for me personally? Even if I die alone in the desert, I won't let you help defend me , This is the biggest waste of resources. Xiao Chen, I asked you to come here because I hope to cooperate with your department to investigate the phenomenon that is not understood by the world here, not to let you be a bodyguard."

Head Chen said: "Yes, Academician Qi, I know I said something wrong."

Ma Tianxing covered his mouth and smiled silently, and everyone continued to move forward. Head Chen said: "By the way, Academician Qi, do you know the place where Mr. Yan disappeared?"

Academician Qi said: "I don't know. It was not like now. It was a locator and a tracker. How could there be such things at that time. We only know that Yan Gong was investigating the ancient site of Loulan, so I think as long as we arrive It should be possible to find his traces in the Loulan ruins, and if it is impossible to find him, then it is completely impossible to find him."

Speaking of this, Academician Qi's eyes seemed to be a little moist. Head Chen said: "Speaking of which, many comrades in our system are still missing. Hey! Not even a martyr can be named."

Academician Qi said: "There is no way, even life and death are uncertain, how can we talk about the word martyr, what if someone comes back again?"

Head Chen said: "Academician Qi, let's talk here, I guess the possibility of Duke Yan surviving is not very high."

Academician Qi sighed and said: "Who says it's not, but I still have a little fantasy, maybe even if I don't see anyone alive, at least I will see the dead body when I die."

At this moment, Ah Xue came to my side and whispered: "Brother Luo, why are you so angry today?"

It's okay if she didn't speak, but when she spoke, I immediately became angry, but this time there was no overreaction, I just said lightly: "It's nothing, I don't know why."

A Xue said: "What do you mean by saying that?"

I said: "It doesn't mean anything, it's just that I don't understand a little bit, why do you insist on coming here with me, is it really just to go out and relax?"

Speaking of this, A Xue blushed, it was obvious that this girl was not very good at lying, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.He Zhuang suddenly said: "Luo Zi, don't be narrow-minded."

I said, "I'm narrow-minded, why do you say I'm narrow-minded?"

Ma Tianxing looked at He Zhuang very vigilantly, for fear that he would violently hurt others, but He Zhuang's expression was very calm, and he said: "I know your thoughts, what you see is just the appearance."

I said, "Then can you tell me the real situation?"

He Zhuang hesitated for a while and said: "You don't need to know, but I hope you can treat Xiaoxue better, she is sincere to you."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and Ah Xue blushed like a sunset. My heart was moved, but I immediately thought of the scene of Ah Xue revealing his clothes to He Zhuang that night, which is unacceptable to a man anyway.But I didn't say anything more, I turned my head and walked to the side.

After a while, Head Chen and Academician Qi came back. Head Chen said: "This place is really weird. It is still in the electromagnetic pulse area, and electronic equipment still cannot be used. Academician Qi, is there any scientific basis for this? I mean Electromagnetic pulses in desert regions."

Academician Qi said: "I haven't heard of it, and it's not recorded in the materials. Anyway, I don't know about it." Just as I was about to leave, suddenly an animal roar came from afar. It was so clear in the desert. We looked at each other, Academician Qi said, "Is it possible that we have come to an area where some large animals live?"

Ashe's complexion changed instantly, it seemed that she was very afraid of these things, Xiaogu Renbao said: "Everyone should hurry up, there are indeed legends of monsters here."

Academician Qi said: "Oh, there really is such a thing?"

A Xue said: "Tell us what you said, but is it true or not?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "Of course, many things here are not nonsense. I once heard the old man say that there were two dragons here, and there were a lot of dead fish here. It is said that they were all sea creatures. the fish in it."

Academician Qi said: "This must be just a legend. The dragon has been proven to be a non-existent species. It is only a symbol of the spirit of our Chinese nation and has no entity."

Little Gu Renbao said: "I don't understand these things, but I believe that the elders of our family will not tell lies."

When he said this, Academician Qi naturally couldn't refute anything.Not long after walking, we suddenly saw an extremely bloody and terrifying scene: in a huge sunken sand, like a Shura field, although the yellow sand has absorbed a lot of blood, there are still many bloodstains left on the gravel. On the surface, it was unknown whether the minced meat was from humans or animals, and there were even many huge internal organs.In short, this scene is as tragic as it needs to be, and not far away, there is an old man of Han nationality with gray temples. He is staring at us firmly, and a huge wild boar stands beside him.

In fact, the wild boar's statement is not correct. Although it is indeed a pig, it has basically reached the height of an Asian elephant, more than three meters in full.The rough body is covered with dark brown body hair, but the density is not high, and the hair on the back is dark black, thick and long, somewhat similar to a horse's mane, just a long strand from head to tail.The scariest part of this pig is its cheeks. The huge pig's face is actually red, as if dyed with rouge, but this makes its fangs white and shiny.Academician Qi's complexion changed drastically: "It's broken, this is a giant devil pig, an ancient creature, how could it meet here?"

But before we had time to raise our vigilance, the old man turned around and left with the devil giant pig. Although the pig looked so scary that it was not an exaggeration to say it was a devil, it was still very docile by the old man's side.We watched the two of them gradually go away and disappear on the horizon, everything was so inexplicable.

Academician Qi said: "To be honest, I don't understand what's going on, but I guess that the roar of the beast just now came from here? Because the desert is very empty, so the angle of the sound transmission may make people feel uncomfortable. There is an illusion."

Head Chen said: "It's not an illusion. Just now I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. But academician Qi, there are more and more strange things here, and I can't understand why these things are happening all the time. We met?"

Hearing the words of head Chen, our hearts were all moved slightly, and we couldn't help looking at Xiaogu Renbao. He walked in the front alone, and didn't know what we were thinking.

Academician Qi said: "We can't make blind calculations, but even though he was hired, we still followed the route we planned. He never interfered with our direction of travel, so this matter should not have much to do with him. There are many coincidences in the world."

Head Chen said: "That's what he said, but he can definitely provide information to others after he has a grasp of our course of action."

Academician Qi said: "I don't think it's very possible. First of all, even the military communication equipment we brought here has been interfered with. They are just local indigenous people. Could it be that their technology is more advanced than ours? Even if he can stay along the way Mark, but in a place like the desert, I don’t think this kind of method is advisable. But Xiao Chen, I can tell you something, of course, this is what Unshi heard, that is, casual talk.”

Head Chen said: "Tell me, I think it's hard to tell the truth about many things in this world."

Academician Qi nodded and said: "This matter has to start from the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a very tough emperor, and the Han Dynasty was also very powerful at that time, so these small countries in the Western Regions, such as Loulan, sought asylum, but this country It has always been in a vacillating situation, surrendering for a while, and betraying it for a while. During this period, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also sent troops to conquer it. But unlike other countries, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only wanted to teach them a lesson, and did not go to war. It is estimated that it is indeed impossible to resist the attack of the Han army. However, according to legend, Emperor Wu of the Han suffered an unprecedented defeat in that attack. Although underestimating the enemy is one aspect, the most important thing is that the opponent used a Huge creatures."

Ma Tianxing said: "It's true that this story is not complete, because people of ancient ethnic minorities liked to domesticate some giant beasts to help them fight. Later, when Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo, didn't the other party use elephants?"

Academician Qi said: "The words are good, but this information does not specify what kind of creature is used. I guess if this is true, then King Loulan may use a Central Plains animal similar to the giant devil pig. An ancient creature that has never shown its face."

Head Chen said: "You mean, maybe there are still those creatures raised here?"

Academician Qi said: "You saw it just now, unless that scene was a mirage."

The blood-stained sand in front of us appeared so realistically in front of our eyes, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, it was absolutely impossible to say it was a mirage.Head Chen frowned and said, "I don't know whether I'm here for archaeology or to discover mysterious creatures this time."

Academician Qi said: "Two become one, I believe there must be something unusual in it."

Little Gu Renbao suddenly said: "Turn left here and you will see the 'Sun Graveyard', not too far away, are you interested in going to see it?"

Head Chen glanced at Academician Qi, and Academician Qi said: "There is indeed such a landscape in Lop Nur. The cemetery of the sun is 3800 years ago, and the famous 'Loulan Beauty' was discovered here. The reason why it is called the 'cemetery of the sun' is because Seen from a height, the structure of the tomb looks like a radiant sun inlaid on the high ground. On the surface of the tomb, there are seven rings of neat rings of Populus euphratica stumps, from the inside to the outside, orderly in thickness, and the smallest inner circle is about two meters in diameter, like a The round sun, people are buried in the center of the 'sun', with the ring as the center, and there are seven circles of thick tree stumps arranged radially, orderly, like the sun's rays, and it is spectacular. The tree stumps are all vertically buried in the Sandy land, only the pile heads are exposed. This kind of tomb has only been found in one place in our country, and it is extremely precious. I think it is not easy to come here, but it is good to have a look."

Head Chen said: "Since you know this place, that's fine."

Academician Qi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about that, even if locals in Lop Nur want to fool me, it's not easy."

After all, our group turned to this very famous and very precious landscape.Of course, I didn't see that this is a place with many wonderful features. I can only see that this is a quite large group of tombs. I don't feel anything else. At this time, it is almost afternoon, and the shadow of Populus euphratica forest is slowly changing. direction.

Head Chen said: "Don't come here for nothing, just take a picture."

A few of us stood outside the Populus euphratica forest, each standing at attention as a form, and the group leader Chen said: "Pay attention to your expressions."

He Zhuang suddenly said: "It's not right."

After he finished speaking, I also felt that something was wrong, because the dry and cracked branches of Populus euphratica forest faintly began to tremble, and the roar of horseshoes faintly came from our ears.

Little Gu Renbao said: "My God, those bandits are back again."

We hurriedly got on the camels and hurried away, but the sound of horseshoes was getting louder and louder. I looked back and saw the yellow sand rolling in the distance, but the bandits were looming in it.

9. The Legend of the Sword
I saw them holding sharp scimitars and rushing towards us roaring all the way.

Head Chen took out his pistol and said, "What do you mean, these people really think it's great to have a knife."

Although the endurance of camels definitely exceeds that of horses, short-distance sprinting is not the strong point of camels. It didn't take long for them to surpass us.However, they didn't act in a hurry, they just wrapped us in formation and forced us to stop. Head Chen sat on the camel calmly and said, "Which of you is the leader, can you understand Chinese?"

At the beginning, the leader came out on horseback, came to the head of the delegation and said: "I can understand Chinese, everyone here can understand it, we have your people here, I don't understand why you want to help them. "

Head Chen was taken aback, and said, "Who are we helping?"

The man pointed at little Gu Renbao with the scimitar in his hand, and said, "It's him and their people."

Head Chen said: "I don't understand what you're talking about, Xiaogu Renbao is just a guide we hired. What's the matter, do you need to have a choice when you hire guides here?"

The man said: "You are not tourists at all, I will not be fooled by you."

Head Chen said: "Who told you that we are tourists?"

The man sneered and said, "Hehe, I'm really useless. I didn't even scare you, so I recognized it myself."

Head Chen said inexplicably: "What are you talking about, can you tell me clearly, to be honest, I don't understand at all."

Among the horses was an extremely strong man, holding a rusty iron ax in his hand, he swung the ax and said, "Don't pretend to be confused, it's too late now, we won't let you go to that place."

Head Chen looked at us and said, "If the communication continues like this, I guess it will be difficult to explain clearly."

Academician Qi said: "Xiao Chen, you are too aggressive, let me talk to them."

At this time, I noticed that little Gu Renbao stuffed a long and thin piece of wood into the clothes.Academician Qi said: "Hello, Uighur friend, we are just scientific research personnel from the mainland, and we absolutely do not have any purpose, so please don't worry too much, I don't think every group of scientific research team members will be like this. block it like that?"

The man said: "Of course not, we only block those who are related to him."

After finishing speaking, he pointed to Xiao Gu Renbao again. After thinking for a while, Captain Chen got off the camel and walked to Xiao Gu Renbao and said, "Come down."

Little Gu Renbao seemed taken aback and said, "What do you mean?"

Head Chen said: "I told you to come down, don't babble, or I will do it."
