When Yuan Ning returned to the ranch, he saw a group of unexpected visitors, the first two of whom happened to be familiar to him.One was Professor Qin who threw him to give a public class, and the other was Sima Hong who had returned from Li Guo. They brought a group of archaeological experts and they were drinking mare's milk.

Compared with the last time they met, both Professor Qin and Sima Hong lost a lot of weight, but their spirits were particularly good.Seeing Yuan Ning, they all put down the bowls in their hands and greeted Yuan Ning.

Professor Qin straightforwardly explained the purpose of his visit.It turned out that they had found a clue and wanted to go into the desert to dig the ruins.It's just that they have to find a few good guides to go into the desert. After much deliberation, they came to Yuan Ning's side.Unexpectedly, after asking, they found that Yuan Ning happened to be here, and they naturally waited happily for Yuan Ning to come back.

Originally, the little girl named Nuo Min only sent a falcon to fly to find someone, but they thought it was unreliable, but the falcon brought him back so quickly.Professor Qin said: "You see, we need to make arrangements for us quickly."

Yuan Ning felt that Professor Qin and the others were all brought out by Principal Fei, and none of them regarded him as an outsider, and they sent him to do everything.

But if you want to enter the desert—or even dig the ruins in the desert, you really can’t do it without a reliable guide.It just so happened that he also knew such a person, so only he could arrange it.

Yuan Ning agreed: "Okay, I'll find someone to prepare."

Yuan Ning was going to find Mr. Agula and the others. When he was building a windbreak forest, he settled in Agula's ranch. Agula's ranch is located on the edge of the desert, and he knew many local people who have been dealing with the desert all year round.

Ai Yan is also from there.After hearing Professor Qin's plan, Ai Yan pondered for a moment, then turned to ask the boss of the Han family for his opinion.They have lived in a corner this year without doing anything eye-catching, and their lives have become a little more stable.But they are not peaceful people in their bones, and occasionally want to do something.

The boss of the Han family said: "Then we will go too."

Ai Yan used to deal with the desert a lot back then, and the boss of the Han family often went out to the desert in Changcang to "pay homage to his lover" in recent years, and he was no stranger to the world full of yellow sand.

Yuan Ning said happily: "It will be safer if you are with uncle!" He is also very interested in the desert, "I really want to go and see it!"

The boss of the Han family said: "If you can ask for leave, it's not that you can't go. As long as you don't fall behind, it shouldn't be too dangerous."

Yuan Ning was really moved.

After discussing with Zhang Xiuyan, he decided to take two days off with Principal Fei to see and see in the desert.Since he wanted to prevent the yellow sand monster from expanding, how could he not learn about its true appearance!

Yuan Ning found enough reasons for himself, so he contacted Mr. Agula and asked him to help prepare water and food.Agula has much more experience than them in this regard. They can use Agula's ranch as a supply point, and then bring the supplies there.

All that's left is some simple prep work.When Luo Yuanliang learned that Yuan Ning was going into the desert, he thought about it, bought a few cars, and joined the team.If you have your own car, you can bring more things with you. Sleeping bags and tents are all ready, and odds and ends such as headlights and compass are also provided.

Ai Yan contacted familiar people and found a few more guides. At the same time, he prepared some camels to really be in the wild yellow sand. Sometimes this ancient means of transportation is more reliable.

Zhang Xiuyan still had to work, so he couldn't ask for leave at any time like Yuan Ning, so he returned to the capital that night.Yuan Ning, Professor Qin, and Sima Hong understood their progress, and found that they had indeed found many clues.

The person Sima Hong was looking for had no descendants, and the tomb was not easy to find, but Sima Hongda had spent half his life on it, and after field investigation, he managed to find some clues.For example, with the help of Professor Qin's authority, he saw a lot of restored ancient books, and deduced a fact from a few words in the emperor's daily life notes: that person's body was stolen.

The so-called emperor's daily life note is the emperor's daily life recorded by a special person. The scope of the record is quite wide, including not only the emperor's daily performances with courtiers, but also how many times the emperor has sex every month and who he has sex with. , the duration of sex, etc. In short, even how many mouthfuls the emperor ate every day will be recorded in detail.

There are not many remaining parts of this note on daily life, and the reason why the other party took a lot of trouble to steal a body is already difficult to find out. The person who wrote this note on daily life did not dare to write it out, only vaguely mentioning that the emperor woke up in the middle of the night, Unable to fall asleep again, as if missing an old person, but unfortunately this old person has passed away, and even the remains cannot be collected.

Sima Hong keenly grasped this sentence, and combined with the situation at the time, he quickly remembered that the emperor's great achievements included several expeditions to the north, and once drove the grassland people far away.An extremely absurd idea appeared in his mind, and after this idea appeared, he couldn't get rid of it - the emperor went north to retrieve the remains of that person!

Sometimes people are such hateful creatures, they don’t cherish them when they have them, and even want to get rid of them; but once they lose them, all kinds of benefits of the other party will come before them, and because they can’t see each other again, this yearning will be lost. It was getting deeper and stronger—so in the end, the emperor made up his mind to remove all traces of that person, and didn't want to hear anyone mention that person again, as if this would relieve the piercing pain.

This absurd idea made Sima Hong feel inexplicably happy, and he even wanted to look up to the sky and laugh out loud.deserve it!It deserves it!But after this joy dissipated, it was replaced by a long and unstoppable sadness.

So what it deserves, it's just passed away with pain and pain.That emperor still raised a son and gave birth to a son, he still conquered all over the world, and he still enjoyed that person's Yuyou name forever, but that person would sleep silently under the loess forever, and no one would remember his existence.

Sima Hong was originally talking with Yuan Ning about the progress of the investigation, but his face was warm while talking.Sensing that Yuan Ning and Professor Qin were looking at him, Sima Hong stood up, went outside and stood quietly for a while before turning back.The hot tears on his face have dried up, and the gloomy and sad look has gradually faded away, leaving only firmness: "He should be remembered." Sima Hong gritted his teeth, "I know he won't care about it. , I know he doesn't have the idea of ​​being famous in history, I know he doesn't care whether he will be remembered, but we care."

Yuan Ning and Professor Qin looked at each other without speaking.Knowing Sima Hong's past persistence, he would not be too surprised by what he said.In order to track down all this, Sima Hong even went to a foreign country in the confusion of everyone, and he stayed there for many years.

Sima Hong said: "Whether we remember it or not, no matter how long it has passed, we are very concerned." He clenched his fists, "I have a hunch that we can find more things in the desert to prove that he existed."

Yuan Ning said: "In the past two days, people and supplies can be in place."

Sima Hong's persistence is something Yuan Ning can't do, but it doesn't mean he can't understand it.After learning about the progress of the investigation, he stopped disturbing Professor Qin and Sima Hong, and walked outside the house alone.

There are stars in the sky.The night sky in autumn is particularly lively, and many special stars can be observed without special instruments.These stars that are very far away from them should also shine and heat like the sun in their galaxies, providing energy for life on other stars.

Some people in the world are born like them, shining on others, helping others, and guiding others.They don't care if they burn out, if they're remembered.What they do is what they want to do and what they can do, and what they care about is often only the process, not whether they get something in the end.Such people have been rare throughout the ages, but they have existed throughout the ages. Ordinary and ordinary people like them often follow in the footsteps of these people, and even enjoy their shadow.

The emperor who killed that person may be jealous because such a person is too outstanding, too dazzling, but pure and innocent to make people feel ashamed!

It seems like a very good thing to find evidence of that person's existence.

People like that really shouldn't be forgotten.

The next day, after preparations were made, Yuan Ning and his party set off for the northwest of Changcang.After arriving at Agula's ranch, Mr. Agula warmly received them and told them that the weather will be very good in the next few days and they can enter the desert with confidence.It's just that there are still many crises hidden in the desert, so you still have to pay attention on the road and don't fall behind.

Yuan Ning thanked Mr. Agula, and followed Ai Yan and the others into the desert.

There is no barren desert on the edge of the desert. Beautiful Populus euphratica forests can be seen everywhere. If you walk a little further in, you can see many lakes called "Haizi" by the locals, all of which are saltwater lakes.

The water source brings oases of various sizes, all of which are surrounded by sand hills, but a lot of high and low plants grow tenaciously.

Against the backdrop of the golden sand mountains, the sky looks particularly clear blue, and even the lake water is also translucent blue. Groups of local herdsmen's cattle and sheep are grazing by the lake, flicking their tails leisurely from time to time.

Under the guidance of Ai Yan, Yuan Ning saw a strange stone hidden in a "haizi". There were hundreds of springs on the stone less than three or four square meters!The gurgling spring water swirls out, looking clear and sweet.

Ai Yan said that this spring water can be drunk directly, Yuan Ning held up a handful suspiciously, and tasted it a little.The cool and sweet spring water poured into his throat, instantly dissipating the dryness brought by autumn, Yuan Ning was refreshed, and felt that the spring water was very good, not much worse than the spiritual spring where the fish were waiting.

Yuan Ning praised sincerely: "It's really good."

Ai Yan said: "There are quite a lot of strange springs here, and there is a strange spring in front of it. The spring water will only come out if people call it, and it will not come out if they don't call it. I have studied it with the old experts of the team for a long time, but in the end I still can't find it." Find out why—it can only be attributed to the magic of creation."

Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment, inexplicably thinking of the strange lake in Mr. Lian's farm.Mr. Lian said that after the Lingquan jade pendant is destroyed, the Lingquan will not disappear immediately, but will merge with the nearby water sources, but the strangeness of the Lingquan will gradually weaken over time, and finally become no different from ordinary water sources. Too much of a difference - While there may still be something unusual about them, their original magical effect is very weak.

There are so many strange springs and lakes in the desert here, is it because some spiritual spring jade pendants were once destroyed here?

Who is here to destroy so many jade pendants?
