Overshadowing the sun is always a demon

The scene in front of him changed from darkness to golden yellow, and for a moment Fadu even thought he had stepped into the Buddha's Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.

Fadu endured the pain and got up, but in front of him was the boundless desert, with more than a dozen vultures circling above his head, expecting the coming of death.

Xiaobai was lying not far away, and the scars on his body were obviously deeper and deeper than Fadu's.A picture suddenly appeared in front of Fadu's eyes, it was the scene of Xiaobai surrounding him with his body, and the two came straight out of the underground waterway.

Such an obsessive and hygienic monster, actually made himself like this.

Fadu scratched his head, feeling very sorry, stretched out his hand to wipe the scar on Xiaobai's face, who knew that his own hand was also covered with a layer of salt, this rubbing made Xiaobai wake up from the pain.

"Yi..." The moment Xiaobai opened his eyes, there seemed to be brilliant sparks shining in his eyes.

Fadu knew that he was not seeing himself, so he quickly waved his hand: "I am Fadu."

Xiao Bai didn't speak, but the dancing light in his eyes disappeared in an instant.

"It seems that the last explosion connected the tomb with the underground undercurrent, and we were rushed here." His loss made Fadu feel very uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Yu Tian won't allow me to pursue the destination of the alien passage, so he will naturally arrange the next good show." Xiao Bai said lightly: "He even counted this step."

That stream of water was obviously a one-off. After they were flushed out, the stream of water would run off randomly in the desert, and it was unknown where it would end up.When the water is gradually absorbed by the sand, the clues that can finally find the tomb will disappear without a trace.From then on, that tomb will never be opened in front of anyone again.

Fadu stretched out his hand to pull Xiaobai up, still feeling a little regretful in his heart: "It's a pity that we missed the golden body, and we didn't find out whether the owner of the tomb was Genghis Khan. Did we enter another big city that was annihilated by history by mistake?" Mausoleum, or have you not found the real tomb at all?"

Xiaobai replied lightly: "Yes or no, is it important?"

This sentence can be regarded as a complete awakening of Fadu.

Whether it is true or not, it doesn't matter in the first place, just because he walked in, what he saw, heard and experienced was all due to him.

After a long time, Fadu came across a document:

According to records, when Genghis Khan passed away, he took the top mane of a white male camel and put it on Genghis Khan's mouth and nose. If he stopped breathing, it meant that the soul had already attached to the white camel hair, and the body could be disposed of at this time. And keep this ball of camel hair in the clothes tomb.According to scholar Pan Zhaodong, when the Chengling Mausoleum was completed in the 50s, the silver coffin was opened and the lump of camel hair was found.

According to the Mongolian tradition, Genghis Khan was "secretly buried", and we do not want future generations to find out. For future generations, ancestors should be respected, and Mongolian descendants do not want Genghis Khan's tomb to be discovered.

Pan Zhaodong was even more astonishing, "We may not be able to find a definite burial place in the future. Maybe Genghis Khan left nothing behind. Our thinking has always been wrong." At that time, the Mongols had no tradition of body worship, and believed that human beings The physical body comes from nature, and should return to nature after death.An early burial will allow the soul to ascend to heaven.Therefore, in the silver coffin enshrined in the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan, what is preserved is the soul adsorbent of Genghis Khan at the time of his death—the white male camel-top mane, not the remains of Genghis Khan.

Pan Zhaodong disapproved of large-scale excavation into mausoleums. According to the Mongolian tradition, disturbing the soul of the deceased is disrespectful to the deceased. The remains have no preservation value. The key is that the soul is immortal.Large-scale archaeology has violated the sacrificial culture of the grassland and has been opposed. It has been proved that nothing has been produced.

"Maybe our latecomers have always had problems in thinking, and we always hope to dig out something, but in fact there is nothing at all."

Fadu and Xiaobai walked aimlessly in the sand sea for three days. Fortunately, both of them were not of ordinary physique to survive. Even so, the condition of the two of them was quite bad when they were rescued.If he hangs around like this for another day, I'm afraid Xiaobai's skin will explode in the sun.

When Fadu found that there were two light from the headlights of off-road vehicles at the end of the sand dunes that alternated between morning and evening, he almost thought he was just having a dream.

But that dream finally became a reality.

When Fadu woke up again, the sun was setting again, and the small town outside the window was covered with a layer of golden-red afterglow. The street stalls were filled with a variety of goods, and tourists were bustling back and forth, making it very lively.He opened his mouth to call Xiaobai, but the moment he opened his mouth, it turned into a violent cough.

"Are you awake?" It was a bearded uncle who pushed the door and came in with a smile on his face.

"You...you are..." Fadu asked hoarsely, "I...my friend..."

"My name is Lagu, and this is my clinic. You were sent here for emergency treatment three days ago. Your friend woke up a long time ago. He is in much better health than you. He didn't even get an injection. gone."

Fadu also raised the corners of his mouth, that guy Xiaobai can live a splendid life as long as he has food, which is actually easier and more comfortable than most people.

"You guys are really lucky. If it wasn't for a group of tourists going to surf the sand that day, you would have missed it from the edge of the city." Uncle Lagu sighed at Fadu, "If you missed Buzhan, you would have to walk a few hundred kilometers. There is no second oasis to be found."

"Bu Zhan? You said this is... Bu Zhan?" Fa Du sat up abruptly, "Yu... City?"

Uncle Lagu nodded: "I have never heard of the name Yucheng, but this place is indeed Buzhan."

The small city outside the window is covered with greenery everywhere, and the swaying date palm trees have a bit of Arabian charm, which is completely different from the desolation of the ancient Silk Road seen before, and the layout of the whole city is also very different.

Fadu shook his head desperately: "No, this is not Buzhan, definitely not Buzhan!"

"This is Buzhan. I was born here since I was a child. Look at this tourist map, there are marks on the provincial map." Uncle Lagu looked sympathetic, probably thinking that the person in front of him was fainted by the sun in the desert nod.

Fadu only felt that his head was full of mud, too many questions were stuffed in it all at once, and too many mysteries were so intertwined that he couldn't figure it out.

"You're finally awake." Xiaobai finally pushed the door open and came in, looking full of food and drink.

Fa Du stared blankly at Xiao Bai: "Xiao Bai...this is Bu Zhan..."

Uncle Lagu turned to Xiaobai and pointed to his head, shook his head regretfully, opened the door and walked out.

Fadu didn't care so much, he straightened up and took Xiaobai's hand: "This is Buzhan!"

"I know this is Buzhan, so what?" Xiaobai said with a cold expression as usual.

Fadu asked: "If this is Buzhan, then where is the Buzhan that Saleh took us to?"

Xiaobai replied flatly: "Of course it's fake."

Fadu was stunned for a while, and after the initial shock gradually dissipated, the truth would gradually become clear.

Since the identities of Saleh and Hassan were questionable, they naturally deliberately misled these people to a fake town of Buzhan.In other words, there is a fake Buzhan, but it is the real city of Yu, where the legendary mausoleum actually exists.It is very likely that the mysterious Rex is in charge of all this.

Now that Saleh is dead, whether the mausoleum completely collapsed has become an eternal mystery.

Sitting on the train home, a group of donkey friends chatted together, exchanging strange experiences of this trip. The background music of sundialdreams was played in the car along with the radio words introducing the geography of Xinjiang, and passengers from all over the world were welcome to come again next time.The scenery outside the window is infinitely desolate, but the car is still full of joy.

After the blast of the water flow, Hu Hu also disappeared.

After all, it's not a cat or a dog, so you can't put up notices everywhere saying that you lost the vampire, right?The two of them searched near the Lost Land and waited in Buzhan for several days, but they never came back.

Fadu looked out the car window and sighed heavily: "It's finally over."

"No." Xiaobai closed his eyes, "This is just the beginning."

Fadu turned to look at him: "Xiaobai, can't you say something to make people happy?"

Xiaobai replied: "Most of the things that make people happy are useless, and most of the things that are useful will make people unhappy."

Fadu smiled wryly: "You are so reasonable, but I am speechless."

"Want to hear something useful?"

Fadu covered his face: "I don't want to."

The two were silent for a while, Fadu was afraid that the atmosphere would continue to be cold, so he changed the topic: "Actually, there are still many things I can't figure out."

"Like what?"

"A fake city of Yu... Does the whole city exist just to show us a few people?" Fadu guessed, "I've thought about it for a long time, and the only explanation is that the city is the stronghold of the desert jackals."

Xiaobai looked at him sideways: "I didn't expect you to become smarter."

It is rare to be praised by Xiaobai, and Fadu is inevitably a little proud: "That is."

"If that's the desert jackal's stronghold, where did the people who didn't come because of diarrhea that day go? What the hell is the big white fish? Who raised the clothed lizard near the small town?"

Fadu was dumbfounded: "I really don't know that."

"I've seen your so-called mermaid legends, but in fact, that half-human, half-fish creature doesn't exist..."

Fadu immediately interrupted Xiaobai's words: "We have seen a live sand sea mermaid before we entered the mausoleum."

Xiaobai rolled his eyes: "They can sing, but how do they look similar to the legendary mermaid?"

"You mean, the real mermaid has someone else?" Fadu understood what he meant, but immediately had new doubts, "Then you said that half-human, half-fish creature doesn't exist?"

Xiaobai shook his head: "Have you ever thought that maybe the appearance of a real mermaid is almost the same as that of a human being? Chengquan once said that the royal tombs are guarded, and those creatures who only weed and sing like seals are obviously not that tall. IQ."

Fadu's eyes widened immediately: "Could it be...the people living in Yucheng are mermaids? How...how is it possible?"

"It's unbelievable if they are creatures, but what if you think of mermaids as monsters?"

Sirens are monsters with mermaid bodies in Greek mythology. They often wander between reefs and isolated islands to confuse people. They are also called sea monsters.The sirens used their singing voice to distract the passing sailors, and the ship hit the rocks and sank.The Siren Siren The Siren Siren comes from the myths and folk tales of the ancient Aegean Sea (Aegeansea) region. She is shaped as a mermaid with a mermaid body and often appears as a beautiful woman. She is delicate and beautiful. , credible, singing, etc. to attract the sailors of the ship to confuse them, causing them to fall into the bloody mouth of the mermaid.

In such records, it is more appropriate to regard them as demons rather than creatures.

"A long time ago, I heard from Yi Guoshi that there lived sharks in the sandy seas of the Western Kingdom that looked like humans. They were immortal and beautiful in appearance. At first, they had shark-like gills on their ribs, but later they were attacked by humans. Killing, gradually becoming rare. Because almost all the survivors are females, they have lost the ability to maintain the group, so they have evolved a more exotic way of reproduction."

"Strange? What kind of strange method?"

Xiao Bai replied: "Let ordinary humans eat their meat."

Fadu's face turned pale immediately: "Could it be... the big white fish?!"

However, Xiaobai didn't pick up on it at all, and just continued to say: "Some people have achieved assimilation after eating merman meat, and gained the ability to live forever, but from now on they will never be able to leave the sea of ​​sand that breeds their own lives. If the assimilation fails, it will become an indescribable monster."

"Lizards...those lizards in clothes!" Fadu gasped.

The two of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

"I've been wondering who he is. The person who put steel needles in the mutton, the person who killed people in the Populus euphratica forest, and the person who pushed Xiaomi off the balcony, who is he?"

Fadu was taken aback: "You remember?"

"It's just a kind of illusion, which can last a lifetime for ordinary people, but it's nothing more than that for me. After getting close to the golden body, the ability improves, and it can be easily cracked."

Xiaobai stopped talking, but Fadu became anxious: "Who do you suspect? Chengquan? Mo Yuli? Or..."

"We have always ignored his existence." Xiaobai's smile seemed so unpredictable, "Think about it carefully, everything Chengquan and the others do is purposeful, and the people in the sand sea just want to Always protect their secrets, only those who do these three things, almost in a playful state of mind, are just a pure show of skill."

Fadu lost his patience: "Who is it?"

Xiaobai replied decisively: "Luo Jia."

"Isn't Roja dead?"

"She didn't die, but disappeared." Xiaobai replied, "If you think about Luo Jia's performance along the way, is there really no flaw?"

Fadu shook his head, then nodded again: "There is also that person I feel very familiar with, why hasn't he appeared... Could it really be my hallucination?"

"It's not that he doesn't want to appear, but that he can't appear." Xiaobai replied, "He hasn't appeared since he entered King Shahai's tomb, right?"

"And Chengquan and Mo Yuli, did they really die in the royal tomb?" Fadu scratched his head and suddenly realized the problem: "No, I didn't tell you about Luo Jia, How did you know? And about Tang Shaolei, you..."

Fadu suddenly became furious: "You spy on my memory?"

Too many secrets that he didn't want to be known were suddenly revealed, and his heart almost collapsed at that moment.

"Why do you need to spy? Many things are clearly understood by those in the authorities. You don't need to ask or say anything. Others can guess." If you are in the midst of thorns, if your heart does not move, you will not move rashly. If you don’t move, you will not be hurt. If your heart moves, you will move rashly, which will hurt your body and hurt your bones, so you will experience all kinds of pain in the world.”

Fadu was taken aback for a moment, Xiaobai actually recited the Buddha's gatha, the sun really came out from the west.

"There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, long-term resentment, what you can't ask for, and what you can't let go of." Xiaobai said, "Don't think about that person anymore. For you, he is always what you can't ask for. "

The anger in Fadu's heart turned into a wry smile, he couldn't even explain why he was so persistent, but in the end Xiaobai had to wake him up.

Although there are still countless mysteries lingering in their hearts, for Fadu and Xiaobai, their journey is indeed over.
