Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 47 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (9)
When I thought about it, it was also the same reason. I couldn’t doubt my comrades for no reason, and fell asleep after returning home.After getting up early the next morning, as soon as I got out of the tent, I was taken aback by the scene in front of me. I saw a large group of knights surrounding our camp, and a man with a rather sturdy image was chatting happily with the regiment leader.

We didn't understand what happened again, but we saw Gu Renbaona in this group of people. He didn't dare to look at us at all, just lowered his head, as if he had committed a crime.

Ma Tianxing and He Zhuang had already walked to the head of the regiment, and I also rushed over.I just heard the man say: "I'm really sorry, I wanted my child to exercise, but I didn't expect to bring you so much trouble."

Head Chen said: "It doesn't matter. After all, he is a child. He will still have opportunities to exercise later. In fact, if it is not because the car is broken down, we don't need a guide. We mainly need your camels."

The man said: "It's okay, you can use the camels, and you don't need to return them to me when the time comes, they know the way back by themselves."

Head Chen said: "Really? This camel is amazing. People say that old horses know the way, so can camels do it too?"

The humane said: "Actually, they are all the same. They can find the most difficult water source in the desert, not to mention the places where they have stayed for many years. These animals have spirituality."

When they were far away, Captain Chen said to us: "This person seems to want to take back the things that Xiaogu Renbao gave us, but I pretended to be confused. This group of people should come again. Everyone must Be prepared, don't suffer."

Academician Qi took out the map drawn from his body and looked at it carefully: "We still have at most one day's journey to reach the ancient city of Loulan."

Head Chen said: "The map you drew yourself is too amazing!"

Academician Qi said: "I have been studying this topic for decades. To be honest, although I haven't been to the Loulan site in person, I know everything about the route and everything along the way. I drew this map just to prove myself. It turns out that This empirically drawn map is not wrong."

The victory was right in front of us, we were very excited, and we couldn't help speeding up the pace of the journey. At noon, the sun was scorching hot, and everyone was a little groggy.Inadvertently, we saw on a small sand dune not far away, a man in a long robe riding a snow-white horse, standing there looking at us motionless.His hair is also very long. What puzzles us is that under the harsh ultraviolet light of the desert, he did not wear heavy lint clothes to resist the sun. The clothes on his body are more like retro fashions made close to the body. I have to be a little dazed.The horse under the white knight's crotch let out a long cry, and its front hooves lifted off the ground. When it stood firm again, it heard the sound of the horse's hooves behind it, faintly like thunder, and then a group of people dressed like him rode their horses and appeared beside the sand dunes. The strange thing is that they are all dressed in white.

We looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing whether these people were friends or foes.Just wondering, the group of knights galloped towards us on horseback. Under the sunlight, we saw the shining silver swords in their waists. Head Chen said: "No, hurry up and prepare the guys." But when he just After taking out the pistol, we were stunned, because we didn't expect that Ma Tianxing would point his sniper rifle at Commander Chen.

He Zhuang said: "Little Ma, are you crazy?"

Ma Tianxing didn't say anything, just pointed his gun at Chen Tuan Zhang's head, Chen Tuan Zhang shook his hand at He Zhuang and said, "Zhuang Zi, don't worry about this matter."

Seeing that Ma Tianxing didn't have any expression on his face, he just stared blankly at Commander Chen without moving his eyes, so that everyone was wary, and no one dared to act without authorization.The group of white knights did not act excessively when they came to us. They formed a circle and surrounded us.At this time, the super handsome guy in the lead jumped up to the head of Chen, and said very politely: "I'm sorry, head Chen, please hand over the weapons on your body with your friends."

Head Chen looked around and said, "I don't seem to have the right to refuse, do I?"

He smiled brightly and said: "It is true, but please rest assured, I guarantee your safety, no one will be harmed here."

Head Chen threw the gun on the ground, turned to Ma Tianxing and said, "Little Ma, can you tell me what's going on? I can't believe you will betray me?"

The other party said: "Don't worry, your friends are all loyal, but he was planted by me with insanity. I need to see your every move through his eyes, so it's not his fault."

Head Chen nodded and said, "Don't you think it's despicable for you to do this?"

The other party said: "I don't think, we are not a group of ordinary people, and what we do are not ordinary things, so when necessary, we will adopt some methods that are completely unbelievable in your opinion, so that you greedy human beings know the difficulties and give up. Back, it won’t pollute this place.”

Head Chen didn't understand what he said, he said: "Why do you draw such a conclusion for us, what right do you have to think that you are superior to us?"

He didn't seem to bother to answer this question from Captain Chen. He smiled arrogantly and said, "I'm not obliged to answer your question, am I? We live in the only place in this world where there are no ugly souls. We all have noble spirits." Members of the royal family of blood, we guard the purest holy lake in the world, so I must prevent your dirty lives from touching our world, that is the greatest insult to us." Seeing him say such words in a serious manner, I I really want to rush up and whip him, because I have never seen such a pretentious person.Head Chen nodded and said, "Perhaps you have misunderstood us. We are just ordinary scientific researchers, not the kind of people you think."

He continued very elegantly: "It doesn't make any difference to me whether you are a good person or a bad person. This world has long been the dirtiest place in my eyes. Even if you haven't done anything bad, your body has been edified for a long time. It is naturally polluted in that environment, so I will not allow you to step into our holy place."

Head Chen said: "Where is your holy place, at least you have to tell me?"

He raised his hand slowly, and the brocade in Captain Chen's arms suddenly flew out and landed in his hand. He unfolded the brocade and said, "This is the place."

I had a faint feeling in my heart that the other party might not be human.Head Chen also stared at him for a long time, and said: "I understand what you mean, if we don't go to your so-called pure zone, will there be nothing wrong?"

The man in white nodded and said: "That's it, and your arrival is likely to bring death and blood, which will make the world angry, so I hope you can turn back in time, and don't go into the abyss of eternal doom, then it will be too late to regret. "

As soon as the words were finished, we saw that the expression of the man in white seemed to have changed, and his eyes became sharper.We subconsciously turned our heads and saw a cavalry team of men in black appearing behind us at some point.

12. Ancient verses
The men in black were straightforward and didn't say a word of nonsense. One of them raised his bow and shot an arrow at the man in white.However, the lightning-fast long arrow didn't seem to be a threat to the man in white. He didn't even move his body. As soon as he grabbed the feathered arrow, he caught it in his hand, and he saw a faint blue light flashing on the arrow. , seems extremely poisonous.From this point of view alone, we can also feel that the strength of the two parties is too far apart.However, the white knight did something we didn't understand at all. He drew a long wound on the back of his hand with a poisonous arrow, and the blood immediately flowed down, dripping on his robe, which was very eye-catching .Then he folded his hands, snapped off the arrow, turned his horse's head and went backwards. After a while, he joined the man in white behind him and ran away without a trace.The inexplicable in our hearts, I really don't understand why they suddenly appeared and why they disappeared suddenly, but Ma Tianxing came back to normal, the first sentence he said after waking up was: "I seem to have fallen asleep."

Head Chen said: "Yes, you not only fell asleep, but also slept soundly. Do you know why you are riding on a camel?"

Ma Tianxing asked with a puzzled face: "Yes, I just wanted to ask this question, why?"

While speaking, those knights in black leather robes rushed towards us.Head Chen said: "We have fallen into a ditch. If they want to kill me now, I have absolutely no objection. You go back and tell others that I am stupid."

Those knights in black came near us with no intention of surrounding us. One of them reined in his horse and said loudly, "Commander Chen, there is no need to go to the Loulan ruins. There is no archaeological value there, and you will not be able to get there either." The voice was actually Xiao Gu Renbao, he took off the hood covering his head, and it was really him.

Head Chen said: "Why should I believe your words? Isn't this too funny?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "If you don't listen to my advice, then you will be hunted down by the White Feather Knights. They are not ordinary people. You saw it just now."

Leader Chen said: "What do you think those handsome guys were just now?...White Feather Knights?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "That's right, they are descendants of the royal family of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, and they are a group of super-capable people. You'd better not provoke them easily. Don't look at these people's appearance is very noble, they are all murderers .”

Head Chen said: "Then why are they afraid of you? It's unreasonable?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "They are not afraid of us, they are just worried about the fire in the backyard, so they went back to guard their hometown."

Head Chen said: "It seems that there are a lot of you."

Xiao Gu Renbao said: "There is no way to do this. The ability is not as great as others, and if the number is not as good as others, then simply admit defeat."

Head Chen said: "Then what do you mean we should do? Didn't you still want to do things through us before, and now you persuade us to go back?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "This is not contradictory. I chose you before because I thought they would not suspect you, but I didn't expect that I would be recognized by Riva Dorje. Later, I found out that a friend of yours was arrested by the elders. Dalu Khan has controlled his thoughts, so he understands that there is no hope for you, so just act recklessly."

Head Chen said: "Little Gu Renbao, you are always mysterious, can you tell us what is going on, don't keep us confused, maybe we can work together!"

Little Gu Renbao said: "It's okay to tell you at this point. In fact, you also know that we are going to transport a sword, but where is this sword? This is a question. As you can see in the brocade, We guessed that it should be in a general's tomb. Of course, we can confirm the location now, and we went in to search more than once, but we never found it. But this time, through the guidance of a wise man, we can basically confirm the sword location."

Head Chen smiled and said, "You haven't found anything, so what are you using us to transport? Could it be the brocade?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "No, because I believe that you will find the general's tomb, so that I can go in with you, because we will definitely not be able to get in."

Head Chen said: "You made up this story so mysteriously, if I had no brains, I would almost believe it."

Xiaogu Renbao said: "Do you think I lied to you? Then I will be wronged. Here is a poem for you to read." After speaking, he personally sent a note to the head of Chen, and the head of Chen read it. Afterwards, they were handed over to us one by one. To be honest, those words were not clear, and we didn’t understand them, but judging from the genre, they seemed to be poems of ethnic minorities, and it read:

The flames of war spread to my hometown, and all my relatives around me fell in front of me.

Death makes everyone tremble like a devil, but it is inescapable.

Eagle, please bring my curse to the gods, and let him know how much I hate the swords of these invaders.

Master, when will you be able to return to the world again and destroy this evil army.

God will send his servants to seek justice for me, even if I shed my own blood, you will never take my soul.

Because I have given my life to God.

Head Chen said: "What do you want to tell us with this inexplicable poem?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "Don't you see anything from it? This is the text that appeared in the Loulan ancient site. I think it is very likely that it is the text left by the king of Loulan when he was invaded."

Ma Tianxing said: "Yes, but I can't see any reason except that I can feel that this is a literary youth."

This is Ma Tianxing's tone, it seems that he is really all right, we all looked at him with relief.Little Gu Renbao said: "Perhaps you simply understand this as a poem, but those of us who know this period of history don't see it that way."

Academician Qi spoke, and said: "Little Gu Renbao is right. Gu Loulan rebelled against the Han Dynasty several times. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent troops to conquer the country in a rage, and sent assassins to assassinate King Loulan. The poem was obviously left by someone from the ancient Loulan Kingdom, and it was obviously a poem cursing the army of the Han Dynasty, but there are a few points worth pondering: If this is a king, then the master he is talking about is Who? Is it the true God he believes in? And the God he said will send servants, so does this God really exist, or is it just talk?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Academician Qi, do you really believe that there are so-called gods in this world?"

Academician Qi said: "I told you before, you may not believe it, but you have seen the White Feather Knights just now, I don't know if they are still human beings in our ordinary sense, Xiao Chen, what do you think?"

Ma Tianxing said: "What White Feather Knights, the name sounds really nice!"

Head Chen nodded and said: "That's right, that group of people is indeed not like ordinary people. I think this poem may have something to say. There are too many strange things here, so we can't help but believe it."

Academician Qi said: "So I boldly speculate that this poem may indicate that there is some kind of mysterious power hidden here, which is worth exploring."

Head Chen said: "It seems that Academician Qi has already researched it. This poem should not be written by Xiaogu Renbao. Maybe you also have a copy?"

Academician Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said: "That's right, I'm a researcher of ancient Loulan culture, so of course I know this poem." His expression seemed a little unnatural.

Head Chen didn't say anything more, and asked, "Then what should we do now?"

Little Gu Renbao said: "Our people have entered the hinterland of the desert, there may be what we need and what you need, but whether you have the courage to go in is a question."

Head Chen said: "This is no problem. When it comes to this, we are obliged to investigate the truth. This is probably Academician Qi's wish."

Academician Qi sighed and said, "Xiao Chen, you are right, that's what I meant."

Head Chen said: "Academician Qi, in fact, if you really want to go to Loulan, it may not take so long. If you said that 20 years ago, Mr. Yan and the others had no experience and took a detour, you wouldn't be the same. But the map you drew It’s actually exactly the same as the one used by Duke Yan. Maybe you think I don’t know anything, but after getting your mission, I made very detailed preparations. Even I know which is the shortest road to the Loulan ruins, why? But you just don't know?"

Academician Qi said: "Oh, so you have also prepared a road map for Mr. Yan, that's very good, it shows that your preparations are really meticulous. But Xiao Chen, I don't think you should doubt me, I The reason why I chose to go this way is because I hope to find out the reason why Duke Yan disappeared that year, and this is also the main reason for applying for you to come together."

Head Chen seemed to have suspected Academician Qi for a long time, but he just kept pretending that nothing happened, but it seemed difficult to gain the trust of Head Chen with such a simple excuse of Academician Qi.
