Xixia dead book

Chapter 182 The KGB and the CIA (19)
So, the two searched the car, but only found some unremarkable items in the car, but this car caught Han Jiang's attention. Han Jiang stared at the car for a long time, then sat in the cab again, trying to find out to move the car, but it didn't work. "You stared at this car, what did you find?" Tang Feng asked.

Han Jiang jumped out of the car and said, "I found three things, one, this car is probably Zhao Yong's car."

"Zhao Yong's car?" Tang Feng looked at the Grand Cherokee again in surprise.

"It may also be the car of the mysterious fifth person!"

"Just say it's Xu Renyu's car."

"Two, I checked the ruts of this car, and this car is one of the two ruts that have been appearing since we entered the desert."

"Oh! Finally found one." Tang Feng let out a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then what about San?"

"Three, this car is basically scrapped. I was going to try to use this car. It's a pity, such a good car!" Han Jiang stared at the Grand Cherokee and said regretfully.

"Damn, why did the donkey feel sorry for you, you actually wanted to abandon the donkey!" Tang Feng said angrily.

Han Jiang waved his hand, "Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore, we have more important things to do." After speaking, Han Jiang turned around and waved to Liang Yuan, "Miss, do you want to find that magician?"

"Think about it!" Liang Yuan ran over excitedly.

"Then go up!" Han Jiang left the Grand Cherokee, walked forward for more than ten steps, and found a clear staircase behind the boulder, leading all the way to the smooth, huge black rock.

Tang Feng looked at the stairs on the boulder in surprise, "Wait, this is a man-made staircase."

"What? Is there any problem?" Liang Yuan asked back.

"And I'm sure it was excavated in ancient times. Don't you find it strange? Why did the ancients excavate this staircase on the huge rock in the deserted Gobi Desert?" Tang Feng judged the approximate age of the excavation of the staircase through the chisel marks.

"Since you said that it was excavated in ancient times, this problem is easy to explain. This is the battlefield where Mongolia and Xixia competed. The stairs were excavated for the purpose of climbing on the boulder." Han Jiang said and took Liang Yuan up first. ladder.

"Maybe, but I don't think it's that simple! This place is already far away from Qianhu Town." Tang Feng had no choice but to follow behind and climb up the stairs.

The narrow and steep stairs spiraled upwards. Ten minutes later, the last section of stairs appeared in front of them. Han Jiang and Tang Feng drew their daggers one after the other. Tang Feng stared nervously at the boulder. He was no longer the first It was the first time to face such a ladder and possible danger, but it was the first time to face such a weird scene!

Han Jiang jumped up first. Seeing that there was no movement above, Tang Feng protected Liang Yuan and also climbed onto the platform on the boulder. It was a large flat platform, but there was no one person or other life.

The three of them stood on the top of the boulder and looked around. There was no one and no car in the boundless Gobi Desert. They went to Qianhu Town, but it was gone.The three of them stood in a daze for a long time as if they were in another world. Tang Feng wanted to speak, but he was afraid that the masked woman would suddenly appear behind him...

Tang Feng turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind him!Tang Feng raised his head, letting the scorching sun at noon pierced his eyes, Han Jiang and Liang Yuan looked at him in surprise, Tang Feng slowly closed his eyes, his brain was spinning and running rapidly, he was remembering Searching in the depths, digging for that face, that weird face with metallic luster.

"Tang Feng, what's wrong with you?" Han Jiang and Liang Yuan asked with concern.

Tang Feng opened his eyes suddenly, and said to Han Jiang and Liang Yuan, "I'm thinking about that woman wearing a mask."

"How could you be sure that it was a woman from the beginning?" Han Jiang asked puzzled.

"Yes, that man is wearing a mask!" Liang Yuan was also puzzled.

"Intuition, the intuition given to me by that person, she should be a woman!" Tang Feng said with certainty.

"This is too unreliable!" Liang Yuan shook her head and said.

"Well, I can't prove it now. Let's start from the beginning, starting with this person's strange clothes." Tang Feng stopped again when he said this, as if he was recalling.

Han Jiang hurriedly said: "Yes, besides the mask, the man's clothes and hat are also very strange!"

"Yes! If I remember correctly, the clothes and the tall hat that man is wearing are exactly what a noble girl from the party should wear, but...just that mask is not what a noble woman from the party should wear!" Tang Feng thought for a while, He said again: "But...but I feel that I have seen that mask before. I recalled it carefully just now, and I can't remember that I have seen a similar mask, but it...it is very similar to... very similar to that mask. A statue of Buddha, or...or rather like..."

Tang Feng hesitated for a long time and still didn't say the last sentence, but Han Jiang had already guessed who Tang Feng was referring to, "You mean there is no hidden queen?!"

Tang Feng didn't answer Han Jiang directly, but asked instead: "Do you still remember the portrait made by Professor Chen?"

"Of course I remember, but for some reason it was damaged later!" Han Jiang recalled the head portrait, but shook his head again, "But why didn't I feel like a hidden queen? The mask didn't clearly portray the person's appearance, but ..."

"I said that this is all my personal intuition! Maybe it's the costume of the party aristocratic woman that influenced me, preconceived!" Tang Feng explained.

After hearing Tang Feng's words, Liang Yuan said excitedly, "If it's true that there is no hidden queen, then didn't her ghost come here from Petersburg?"

"Ghost?!" Liang Yuan's words made Tang Feng's heart tremble.

"Maybe it appeared in Beijing, ha ha." Han Jiang patted Liang Yuan, smiled wryly and said, "My eldest lady, don't make wild guesses."

"I'm not guessing. If the woman in the mask is not the ghost of the queen, then what about her? Even if there is natural asphalt in the Gobi Desert, how did the fire suddenly ignite?"

"This..." Faced with Liang Yuan's series of questions, Han Jiang was speechless.

The three of them discussed on the black rock for a long time, but couldn't come to an accurate conclusion. Tang Feng suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart, which prompted him to agree with Liang Yuan's deduction just now. Could it be that the woman wearing the mask is really Didn't hide the queen's ghost?Otherwise, who would appear here in such a suit under the scorching sun on the deserted Gobi desert? Tang Feng sat paralyzed on the boulder and said slowly, "Maybe...maybe what we saw just now was just an illusion."

"Illusion? How could it be an illusion?!" Han Jiang asked.

However, Tang Feng was not in a hurry to answer Han Jiang's question. He stood up, looked around the Gobi Desert, and then pointed to the direction of Qianhu Town, which he thought was the northeast direction, and said, "Our real problem is to run It’s too far out and has deviated from the original route!”

"That's right! Qianhu Town is no longer visible." Liang Yuan said worriedly as she set up the awning.

"What are you afraid of! It's not that there are compass and electronic compass!" Han Jiang didn't care.

"In this damn place, you can still trust the compass and the electronic compass?" Tang Feng took out the compass and wiped the sweat all over his face, "Damn, the compass pointer is in a state of extreme restlessness, swinging around everywhere!"

"Oh!" Han Jiang took a look at the compass, and sure enough, the compass failed here.

"Could it be that here, especially this rock, has a huge magnetic field, causing the compass to fail?" Liang Yuan asked suddenly.

"Maybe, the geological structure here is very special." Tang Feng said, and took out the GPS receiver again, but the receiver was blank. "Everything is out of order?"

Tang Feng felt a chill, this is the boundless Gobi desert, if he loses his direction, it means death is coming!
Tang Feng's eyes became more and more terrified, he stared wide-eyed, looked at Han Jiang and Liang Yuan, Han Jiang was at a loss, but at this moment, Tang Feng seemed to remember something, turned around and walked along the stairs in a hurry After getting off the boulder, Han Jiang and Liang Yuan also followed. Tang Feng returned to the donkey, opened the car door, and found the photos of Yu Jiaping from his backpack. He stared at the photos and stared at them. After a long time, suddenly his eyes lit up, "So that's how it is."

"What did you find?" Han Jiang and Liang Yuan urged.

"You still remember that before we set off, we analyzed the ancient map of Xixia and Misha's route. Misha's route map marked four place names, Jiulibao, Langwa, Qianhu Town, Yueerquan, and the ancient map of Xixia Also on the route to the southeast of Hanhaimi City, there are four place names marked. At first I thought that the four ancient place names in Xixia should correspond to the four place names on the route map of Misha, but after looking at it for a long time, I found that except for 'Jiulibao' This name is correct, but none of the other three place names can be matched, and the two routes are obviously deviated. From Jiulibao to the depths of the desert, Misha’s route seems to be north of the route on the ancient map. We already know that Misha The route of Sha is closer to the route after the Yuan Dynasty, while the route of the ancient map should be the route of the early Xixia."

Tang Feng explained a great deal, Liang Yuan was confused and didn't understand, but Han Jiang understood Tang Feng's meaning, "Do you want to say that this is a place name on the Xixia road map?"

Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, do you still remember the place name I asked the hotel owner about?"

"Black Stone?!" Han Jiang's eyes lit up.

"That's right! It's the Black Stone. I just checked the photo of Yuchaping. Before, except for 'Jiuli Fort', I didn't know the location of the other three signs. I just checked the ancient map of Xixia carefully. 'Black Stone' is the second place name to the southeast of Hanhai Mi City, that is, the third place name after entering the desert, so where is this 'Black Stone'?"

"That's... it's here!" Han Jiang said suspiciously.

"Well, if I remember correctly, when we came out of Qianhu Town, we should have been headed southwest, so 'Black Stone' corresponds to Misha's route map, which happens to be located in the southeast of Qianhu Town, the location and the ancient map The markings on it should be similar." Tang Feng said with certainty.

Han Jiang nodded slightly, "Well, unless we are all dizzy, your judgment is correct. We have been heading southwest from Qianhu Town."

"Also, the steps on the black rock are obviously man-made, and I can almost conclude that the stone steps should have been dug in the Xixia period. Just now we were still wondering why someone would dig stones on the rocks deep in the Gobi here. Stairs? Now I understand that this is the main road leading to Hanhaimi City and even to the Mongolian plateau during the Western Xia Dynasty, so the party members used the good fortune of nature to modify it and dig stone stairs here." Tang Feng His thoughts suddenly became clear.

"But why did the party members dig stone ladders?" Liang Yuan asked.

"Maybe it's for observation, as a watchtower, or maybe..." Tang Feng thought for a while, "It might be some religious purpose, think about it, the business travelers, shepherds, troops, nobles who used to pass here, When they trekked hard on the desolate Gobi desert, tired, sleepy, hungry and thirsty, and suddenly saw such a huge and mysterious black boulder, what kind of mood would they feel?"

"Like a landmark building?" Han Jiang interjected.

"Yes, you can understand it this way, landmarks, signs, everyone has given this black boulder a special symbolic meaning."

"Like a god or a miracle?" Liang Yuan asked back.

"Well, you can also understand it in this way. I think that at that time, all the people passing by will worship this black boulder, kneel on the ground devoutly, and pray for the blessing of the gods to protect them from the Gobi desert. After that, they will Carefully drink water and rest under the boulder, and then leave here respectfully and start on the road again." At this time, it seemed that a picture scroll of ancient business travel was slowly unfolding in front of Tang Feng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Tang Feng finished speaking, Liang Yuan suddenly yelled, "Well, what I just said is right, this boulder is a miracle, so...so we saw Empress Wuzang, she appeared! We The fierce pursuit just now angered Empress Wuzang, so she ignited the Gobi Fire and blocked us out!"

Liang Yuan's words made Tang Feng's heart tremble, and he saw that there seemed to be two hot flames burning in Liang Yuan's clear and bright eyes.

Han Jiang sneered at Liang Yuan's words, "My eldest lady, you have watched too many Hollywood blockbusters. Why didn't you hide that the queen was angry and appeared, so why didn't you burn us to death!"

"Say it again, if you say this again, the fire of hell will fall on your head immediately!" Liang Yuan pointed at Han Jiang seriously.

"Oh my god, I'm so scared. Just now the Gobi was on fire, but after a while, it changed to the fire of hell again. There are so many fires without a hidden queen!" How could Liang Yuan scare Han Jiang so easily.

"It's fine if you don't believe me, just wait and see!" Liang Yuan shut her mouth angrily.

But at this moment, Tang Feng suddenly discovered that at some point, a large black cloud floated from the sky, covering the sky above the black stone, covering the sun. Tang Feng raised his head in surprise and looked at the dark cloud, "This...how is this?" Maybe? Is it going to rain in the desert?"

Han Jiang was also very surprised, "Yeah, just now the sky was still blue, why did it take so long..."

"That's all because you offended the spirit of Empress Wuzang!" Liang Yuan whispered solemnly.

Han Jiang didn't care about Liang Yuan's words. He stared at the dark clouds above his head for a long time, but neither raindrops fell nor the dark clouds showed any intention of leaving. "What a weird place!" Han Jiang muttered to himself.

"I want to go further down, there will be more and more weird places!" Tang Feng said.

Han Jiang came back to his senses and joked to Tang Feng, "I said Tang Feng, you have to take good care of your eldest lady, I am an atheist, don't spread feudal superstition in the team."

"Captain Han, you know that in the past, I was also an atheist, but now that we are in such a strange environment, let's not talk about atheism." Tang Feng said, looking up at the lower and lower dark clouds.

A large piece of dark cloud covered the entire Gobi Desert. Tang Feng looked far into the sky. The dark clouds and the Gobi Desert had completely merged into one.

Han Jiang stopped talking, and the three of them were surrounded by indescribable fear. After a long time, Tang Feng put away the photo, and then slowly said: "Liang Yuan's words are not unreasonable. In other parts of the world, once Similar incidents have occurred, such as some valleys, when people pass by, they can hear the sound of ancient people shouting horses, and see some ancient scenes, because there is a huge magnetite vein in that valley, which leads to Rocks have the function of recording and video recording, so that hundreds of years later, under special weather conditions, people who walk into the valley can hear and see the scene of that year."

"Yes, just now our compass and electronic compass failed, which means that there is a magnetic anomaly here, as well as the special environment here, the weird weather, it may cause..." Liang Yuan suddenly yelled again Get up, "Oh my god! We don't know how to travel through time and space!"

"Traveling through time and space? You mean that we have returned to ancient times, to Xixia?" Tang Feng looked at Liang Yuan in surprise, and then looked around. This strange environment and weather made everyone doubt their previous judgment. Looking at the scenery around the black stone, Tang Feng couldn't tell whether they were in the 21st century?Or back to Xixia?
