Since Fang Yi and others were going to go, they had to pass through the ancient city of Loulan, so they headed straight to the ancient city. Although there were no people on the road, they could see the corpses of some animals that were dead by the road from time to time, including goats and wild horses. Fang Yi also saw a camel's skeleton.

From the popular county town to the Loulan Ancient City in Lop Nur, it was only more than 300 kilometers away, but the speed of dozens of kilometers per hour in the desert made Fang Yi and Wei Mingcheng run for two days. Two days later, they saw the extremely famous Loulan Ancient City.

Loulan is a ruin of an ancient city in the Western Regions. It was first seen in "Records of the Grand Historian". It was once a must-pass place on the Silk Road and was the key to the Silk Road. Many books from the Han and Tang Dynasties recorded the prosperity of Loulan back then.

However, after nearly 500 years of glory, this important town on the Silk Road gradually disappeared and disappeared silently on the historical stage. The current ancient city of Loulan covers an area of ​​about 120,000 square meters, close to a square, with a side length of about 330 meters. The entire site is scattered in the Yadan landform group on the west bank of Lop Nur.

"A good civilization is buried in the long river of history."

Looking at the broken wall from afar, Fang Yixin shook his head with some emotion. This situation was very similar to the giant city he saw in Cambodia. Even if the distance was so far, Fang Yi obviously felt a sense of desolation and loneliness in his heart.

Although Fang Yi didn't know much about Lop Nur, he was very familiar with the ancient Loulan Kingdom, because during Sun Lianda's lecture, he talked about the history of the ancient city of Loulan. To be precise, it should be the ancient Loulan Kingdom, because one or two thousand years ago, the ancient Loulan Kingdom, which covers a small area, was famous in the Western Regions.

When Emperor Wu of Han first entered the Western Regions, the envoys passed through Loulan. At that time, Loulan repeatedly served as a witness for the Xiongnu and attacked the envoys of the Western Han Dynasty. Later, Emperor Wu of Han sent troops to attack Loulan and captured his king. Loulan surrendered to the Han Dynasty and was attacked by the Xiongnu. So he sent his son to surrender to both sides.

Later, the Xiongnu's attendant An Gui was established as the King of Loulan, and then he became a close friend of the Huns, becoming a major concern of the Han Dynasty. The brother Wei Tuqi, who had been a hostage in the Han Dynasty, surrendered to the Han Dynasty and reported the situation to the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty sent Fu Jiezi to Loulan, assassinated An Gui, and established Wei Tuqi as the king, changed the country's name to Shanshan, and moved the capital to Guannicheng.

But hundreds of years later, the Northern Wei Dynasty destroyed the Shanshan Kingdom, and the Shanshan Kingdom existed for about 600 years, which was Loulan, and then it perished.

Frequent wars and predatory looting have caused devastating damage to the vegetation and transportation and trade status of Loulan. The ancient country on the edge of the desert has lost these two basic elements and cannot exist. So it has become a scene full of yellow sand and a vast area today.

For a thousand years, humans have forgotten this ancient country covered with yellow sand. Until the beginning of the last century, Swedish explorer Sven Heding accidentally discovered the existence of the ancient country of Loulan. Once the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation around the world.

Speaking of the discovery of Loulan, it was extremely accidental. At that time, Sven Heding was inspecting the Rob Desert. The donkey worker and guide he hired, Eldick, accidentally discovered an ancient site on the northwest shore of Lop Nur while searching because he lost his tools.

After hearing this, Sven Heding immediately followed Eldick to the ruins and found that the ancient ruins were scattered with beautiful wood carvings, fabrics and coins.

Due to the lack of drinking water, Sven Heding couldn't stay at the site for long. After returning, Heding came to this site for a year after preparation and conducted a week of excavation.

After sorting and analysis, Heding designated this ruin as Loulan based on the words "Loulan" in the unearthed documents. This important discovery shocked the world and won great honor for Sven Heding.

Later, the British Stein, Japanese Ju Ruichao and others found the Loulan ruins along Heding's road map. Their excavation work was more thorough and detailed, but it was also destructive and predatory.

He Ding visited Loulan several times, excavated 13 points in Loulan City, and obtained a large number of ancient Han and Wei and Roman coins, architectural wood carvings with Central Asian Hellenistic style, two wooden slips, a large number of Wei and Jin wooden slips, exquisite Central Plains silk fabrics, etc. More than 150 pieces.

In the expedition team established by Heding, a member named Bergman found a large number of Loulan antiquities in a tributary of the Peacock River and unearthed a female mummy. Because of her luxurious clothes, she was called the "Queen of Loulan".

The reason why Fang Yi knew so much about the ancient Loulan Kingdom was naturally because of these lost cultural relics. Sun Lianda once went to Loulan to preside over the excavation of cultural relics and archaeology, but because of the plundering of the place that year and the weather, the excavation did not get much harvest.

"The yellow sand has worn golden armor for hundreds of battles, and will never return until Loulan is destroyed!"

Standing beside Fang Yi, Wei Mingcheng recited this famous line by Wang Changling for all ages. For soldiers, these two lines of poetry can undoubtedly make people excited, especially when standing on the ruins of the ancient Loulan Kingdom, Wei Mingcheng seemed to have heard the sound of war drums and horns for thousands of years.

"Brother Wei, what I think of is not your words."

Hearing the voice of Wei Mingcheng, Fang Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Don't laugh at me when you are drunk on the battlefield. How many people are fighting in ancient and modern times? I don't know how many dead bones are buried under the ancient Loulan Kingdom."

"Hey, I'm telling you two, why are you sore here?" Bai Chuxia next to him was a little funny and said, "Do we want to go in and have a look? There are still very few opportunities to come here."

If the ancient Loulan Kingdom was outside the world, it would have been completely developed long ago. A five-star scenic spot could not be escaped. However, since it is deep in Lop Nur, not to mention large machinery, even ordinary equipment is difficult to transport in. Therefore, this ancient city, full of vastness, still maintains its original form.

Only those who like to explore will come here, so Bai Chuxia, who has the spirit of adventure in her bones, is already eager to try it out. The ancient city, which is mostly buried under the yellow sand, is very attractive to her.

"Stay here for one day and go to the secret realm tomorrow." Fang Yi nodded. He didn't know that his decision had allowed everyone to enjoy an unprecedented beauty.

There is nothing new about the tour of Loulan Ancient City. The things floating on the surface have long been plundered, but when night comes and a few people are preparing to camp, they see a dazzling galaxy.

Located in a remote place, the stars are often much brighter than the city, and it seems to be just above the head.

The galaxy that appeared on this day was particularly beautiful. It rose from the ground in the horizon and the horizon, like a star-light rainbow bridge between the sky and the earth, allowing Fang Yi and others to truly understand what the saying "The sky is like a sky, covering the four fields" means.

"It's worth seeing such a scene in your life, even if you die." Bai Chuxia snuggled in Fang Yi's arms and muttered to himself. This scene is really shocking. Compared with the world, the universe, the Milky Way, the human heart is so small.

"Maybe one day, we can also enter this galaxy."

What Fang Yi thought was completely different from Bai Chuxia. He thought of the patterns he saw on the Cambodian secret city. Those powerful and unimaginable humans could fly and escape and pick stars with one hand. If it was not exaggerated, it might be the end of evolution. As an evolutionist, Fang Yi asked himself that he had hope to get to that point.

"Okay, let's go together!"

Bai Chuxia closed her eyes longed for a long time. She slept very peacefully and sweetly that night. She didn't wake up until the next morning and found that Fang Yi was still in the position of last night, hugging her motionlessly.

"Awaken? Get ready to go."

Fang Yi smiled and shaved his wife's nose, and hung the veil in her ear. There was a lot of wind and sand in the desert. Since he came in, Bai Chuxia had covered her entire face. With that pair of big sunglasses, she was dressed like a woman from the *** country.

“How far is it?”

Seeing that Wei Mingcheng and others had already gotten up not far away, Bai Chuxia stood up embarrassedly, took mouthwash from the car and rinsed her mouth. The water in the desert was left for drinking, so she naturally couldn't brush her teeth like she did in the outside world.

"It will take about two days to go. Of course, you need good luck." Wei Mingcheng opened the window and pointed to the map and said: "If you encounter something like sandstorm, it's hard to say. Fang Yi, when is the specific time when the secret realm is opened?"

Originally, Wei Mingcheng thought they had left for a day and had plenty of time, but after entering the desert, Wei Mingcheng felt unsure. It was the same as in the forest in the desert, and it was easy to get lost. If the walk was a little deviated, it might be a waste of several days.

"I won't encounter anything, go in that direction." Fang Yi took the map and looked at it for a while, then looked up and looked in one direction.

"Fang Yi, isn't it right." Wei Mingcheng was stunned when he saw the direction Fang Yi pointed, raised his wrist and looked at the compass on the multi-function watch, shook his head repeatedly and said, "There is south there, we should go west, and do you know where the other side you are pointing to?"

"How could I know where there is?" Fang Yi shook his head. It was his first time to come to Lop Nur, and he didn't know where it was. However, Fang Yi had just raised a hexagram. Judging from the hexagram, the place they were going was where they were referring to.

"That's where nuclear bombs were tested before. Although there have not been any tests in recent years, maybe the nuclear radiation is still there. Why are we going there?"

There is one of the biggest taboos in Lop Nur, which is the nuclear test site decades ago, which is also the most daunting thing, because nuclear radiation can exist for many years, and I still don’t know if the radiation period has passed.

"Listen to me, yes, let's go around from the side." Fang Yi looked at the coordinates on the map and said, "Your compass is useless here at all, so let's go as I said."

In the Feng Shui divination technique, dividing gold and pointing acupoints to find the direction is the most basic homework. This matter cannot be answered in a scientific way, but Fang Yi knew that the direction he pointed out was absolutely nothing wrong. If you want to go to that coordinate point, the route he said was closest.

"Really?" Wei Mingcheng looked at Fang Yi hesitantly, but he really didn't dare to doubt Fang Yi's words, because he had known Fang Yi for so long, Wei Mingcheng had never seen Fang Yi say a lie.

"Brother Wei, my uncle said he wanted to listen to Brother Fang."

Zhang Wen, who has always been talking to Fang Yi, chose to support Fang Yi as soon as he spoke. He grew up in a noble family and had little contact with this society. So in Zhang Wen's eyes, Fang Yi, as a cultivator, is a godlike existence. Wei Mingcheng questioned Fang Yi, wouldn't that be a doubt of the gods?

"I listen to Brother Yi, too." Si Yuanjie also expressed his opinion in the back of the car. Even his life was saved by Fang Yi from those cruel guys, so he naturally would not question Fang Yi's words.

"It's not that you are asking you to vote for a choice, so let's just listen to Fang Yi."

Seeing the two men supporting Fang Yi, Wei Mingcheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. The team leader was just driving a car to lead the way. As for when it was time to make a decision, Fang Yi had the final say.

"Brother Wei, I'm driving in front this time, you guys follow behind."

Fang Yi asked Bai Chuxia to get in the car, and he sat directly in the driving position. It was not too far from the coordinates of the secret realm. Fang Yi felt that there seemed to be some kind of crisis in front of him.

After the car drove more than a hundred kilometers, Fang Yi stopped on a slightly higher sand dune. He could feel that the sense of crisis in his heart came from the front.

"Fang Yi, what's wrong?" Wei Mingcheng rolled down the car window.
