[Tomb robbery notes] My name Nanji

We got out of the car in fear, walked to the edge of the cliff, and found a huge basin in front of us, surrounded by smoke, a huge oasis sunken in the Gobi!

The situation in front of us is so spectacular that words can’t express it. We were all stunned. The basin is very large and looks very neat. When the fat man said it, it looked like a meteor crater.Looking down from the cliff, you can only see the smog slowly winding below, almost all of which are dense tree crowns, and you can't see the specific situation.

This should be Tamu Tuo. Unexpectedly, we discovered it in such a way. It seems a bit too simple.

Pan Zi reversed the car back, and we looked at the basin with a telescope while wondering what was going on.

Pan Zidao: "It seems that the rocky mountain that Dingzhu Zhuoma and Wenjin left when they separated has indeed disappeared. This is the Yangai area. Maybe it was a rocky mountain. After several decades, a few rains will leave a bag of dirt, but , along the direction of the river, we can still find this place.”

"Let's go in." Nan Ji looked at the distance, his tone was flat, as if he was saying something unimportant.

Others did not object, we drove around the basin to search, after several twists and turns, we finally found a wide canyon.

Pan Zi made a big circle, and found the intersection of the canyon about four kilometers away in the basin. The first section can be driven, and we went all the way in until the rocks blocked the way.

Then several people got out of the car, picked up their equipment and walked forward.He didn't stop to rest until he saw the trees.

Although we know that the ancient king's city of the Queen Mother of the West is somewhere within the swamp, searching inside is almost a desperate task.

Wu Xie and the others read in detail the approximate travel route drawn by Wen Jin in the notes in the shade of the canyon. Because they did not enter the swamp, they were confused in many places, and Wen Jin drew pictures in many places. Question marks, we don't know what these question marks represent, which makes us very embarrassed, and finally we can only decide to take one step at a time, while Nan Ji keeps eating sugar.

Afterwards, we each made preparations. When searching, we knew that the road ahead was long, and we had to control our material consumption. Now that we were about to enter the backyard of the Queen Mother of the West, we naturally couldn't take care of so many, such as flares, cold fireworks, matches, medicines, etc. We packed all the things we could bring in, but Nan Ji didn't take his candy this time, and was so obedient that he carried what Zhang Qiling stuffed in for him.

Pan Zi fought in Vietnam and is now our consultant. He said that from the cliff, the situation here should be similar to the tropical rainforest in Vietnam.The swamps in this humid area are the most dangerous. The top is the broad-leaved canopy of the primitive rainforest, which almost covers the entire valley bottom. Such dense vegetation must not be able to see through the sun. It is dark and full of miasma under the canopy. It is the world of mosquitoes, leeches and poisonous insects.Even though the temperature here exceeds [-] degrees, we must wear long-sleeved trousers, otherwise you will definitely not have a good piece of meat on your body within an hour.

Ah Ning said I have mosquito repellent, is that okay?

Pan Zi said that you drive away mosquitoes, but that thing will attract other things, don't use too strong smell in the rainforest.Otherwise, even if you didn't meet any wild beasts, they would still follow you all the way. This time, I'm the only one with a gun, so even if you meet wild boars, it's enough.

He concluded by saying that once in the swamp, don't wade in the water or touch the mud unless absolutely necessary.One of his comrades had his foot stuck in the swamp during an ambush, and it took less than a minute. When he pulled it out, his entire leg was full of holes, which were hollowed out, and he didn't know what it was bitten by.In the current environment, if this kind of thing happens, it is tantamount to death, maybe it is better than death.

It took two hours, we packed everything up, and we set off under the yelling of Pan Zi.Zhang Qiling led the way, followed by Pan Zi, cutting off branches and broad leaves, and walked to the depths of the canyon.As soon as we moved our front feet, the sky became cloudy again, and it seemed that it was going to rain.

Nan Ji followed behind Zhang Qiling, walking unhurriedly, but never lagging behind Zhang Qiling.

Wu Xie sighed in his heart, the mysteries of nature are really inexhaustible, in the depths of the arid Qaidam Gobi, there is such a wet and rainy oasis, it is really a creation of God, eclectic.

This canyon is not like the Yardang Canyon seen in Devil City. It is not carved by wind. It seems to be a rift valley created by geological movement. As if carved by a sharp knife.The terrain here is really like a crater, and the rift is like a crack in the crust that was broken when the meteorite fell. It may have been much deeper than it is now, and it gradually weathered and filled up.Such a canyon should not be the only one around this pit valley.

The canyon is very wide. After entering the dense forest, the surrounding area became very sultry, and our bodies were drenched in sweat.There are moss everywhere on the stones and trees, making it impossible to stand, our feet are already full of wet mud and intertwined roots, walking in a web of roots like monster tentacles, each foot has a pit, and the canopy above our heads is densely packed Can't see the sun anymore.

I thought that this kind of situation would only happen at the end of the canyon, but I didn't expect that it was already like this in the canyon, and the situation in the pit valley was probably even worse.

The fat man was out of breath, looking at the situation in front of him, he said he didn't know if there were any animals in the oasis, and it would be a kind of welfare to kill a few of them to eat, otherwise it would be a waste of time to walk this way.

Pan Zi said that the rainforest in this closed environment is neither small nor big, and I am afraid that there will be no large beasts, and the most likely ones will be bugs and long worms.In many of these swamps, snakes are the most common.

Fatty said that snakes are also good. He even ate grilled scorpions in Guangdong. Anyway, as long as it is fresh, I am not a problem.

Wu Xie remembered what Wen Jin wrote in his notes: "There are many snakes in the mud, and you are not afraid of people." I think Pan Zi was right. I don't know the size of these snakes. In many Hollywood movies, some pythons can grow up to old trees. It's so thick that even a road roller can't crush it to death, but there shouldn't be such a condition here.

Nan Ji's smile still didn't reach his eyes, Nan Ji looked deeper and deeper into the rainforest, with more and more trees, denser and higher, and the sky could hardly be seen.

Nan Ji didn't block his hearing this time. He could hear a bunch of messy voices, as if many, many people were talking at the same time, and he couldn't hear what they were saying at all.Not only that, but a fishy smell could be smelled in the nostrils. The smell was very strong. There must not be many snakes in this rainforest, and there should be more dangerous things.

Since the trees are too dense, and we are in the canyon, there is no detour, so we can only move forward while cutting down the old vines and broad leaves.It was very exhausting, and Fatty and Zhang Qiling took turns clearing the way, but there was not much improvement.Fortunately, there is a blue sky sandwiched between the phosphorous cliffs on the edge of the canyon, like a sky-blue brocade, the scenery is very gorgeous, and from time to time there will be waterfalls formed by the heavy rain the day before yesterday, and we will not be bored all the way.

After walking for a short time, we found that there were many grottoes on the cliff in front of us, densely packed, there were more than a hundred of them, covered with moss, and we didn't know what was carved inside.

We suddenly became nervous, and the mood of watching the scenery was gone.I didn't see any relics about the Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West along the way, and I always felt unreal. Now I suddenly saw it, and we really began to approach the core of this mysterious ancient country.This is an exciting thing to think about, but it is a bit scary to actually see it.

Pack up the playful mood, let's go up and check.These grottoes vary in size. The big ones can drive two liberation trucks side by side. The small ones are only half a person tall, which is very different from the ones in Dunhuang. The grottoes are very shallow, and the statues inside can be seen from the outside. It's just completely covered by thick moss.

Wu Xie climbed up and took out the dagger, and began to scrape the covering on one of them, gradually revealing a strange stone sculpture among the moss.

In the moss, there is a stone statue of a human face and a bird body, which is the same as the carving style on the pottery pots we found in the ancient shipwreck. It is the real carving of the Queen Mother of the West.After thousands of years of corrosion, the surface of the stone carving is covered with dendrobium, which is blurred.

After Wu Xie removed all the dendrobium above, the whole sculpture emerged.It was a standing statue, which was directly chiseled out of the cliff. The head of the bird was a strange female face that looked like a human but not human, with two pairs of eyes, expressionless, and abnormally cold.There are five skulls carved under the two feet, and the bird stands on the sky caps of two of them. It seems that these skeletons are the leftover bones of it.

The fat man watched from below, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, Xiao Wu, isn't this fucking..."

After Wu Xie jumped down and saw the whole stone sculpture, he also took a deep breath.

It turns out that the stone statue with human face and bird body in the cliff grotto is almost exactly the same as the strange bird seen in the underground crack of Changbai Mountain.

The carvings are extremely vivid. Looking at the surface of the rock, it should have been painted with paint when it was chiseled. If it was not covered with moss, if you saw it in this dark jungle, you would think that strange bird flew here from Changbai Mountain.

Everyone showed a look of surprise, even Zhang Qiling looked very surprised.All the people here have been to Changbai Mountain. Seeing these stone carvings, it is inevitable to recall the terrible situation at that time.

Nan Ji squinted his eyes, staring straight at the strange bird.
