Female boss's personal expert

Chapter 322 The Legend of Queen Loulan!
At about two o'clock in the morning on September 9, the plane landed at the airport closest to the Taklamakan Desert, Bayin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture Airport.

When walking out of the airport, Tie Tu made a phone call and took everyone to a small hotel called 'Menghui Loulan'.

Although it is two o'clock in the morning, there are more than a dozen people sitting at several tables, surrounding the bearded innkeeper, watching him dance and tell relevant legends.

Most of these dozens of people are men, and there are also three or five women with masks and baseball caps on their heads.

After seeing Gao Fei and the others come in, these people gave them a wary look, then ignored them and continued to listen to the bearded boss's spitting narration.

Gao Fei held the hand of Qin Chengcheng, who was also wearing a mask and a baseball cap, and glanced roughly at these people. His eyes fell on the bags under their feet. Then he walked to a table in the southeast corner and wiped the stool. on the dust, sat down.

Tie Tu and Ye Xinshang sat across from them, put their bulging backpacks under their feet, took the cigarettes handed over by Gao Fei, and then half-turned to look at the bearded boss.

After seeing four more people coming in, the bearded boss did not come over to greet him, but continued to show off his professional knowledge: "Everyone, the place under our feet is already under the jurisdiction of one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions during the Han Empire. , 130 kilometers west from here, is the Taklimakan Desert, known as the ninth largest desert in the world and the largest mobile desert in the world!"

-

In Uighur, the Taklamakan Desert means 'a place where you can enter and cannot come out'.

The entire desert is about 1000 kilometers long from east to west, 400 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ​​33 square kilometers.The average annual precipitation does not exceed 100 millimeters, the lowest is only four or five millimeters; while the average evaporation is as high as 2500-3400 millimeters.Here, pyramid-shaped dunes rise 300 meters above the plain.The wind can blow the sand wall up to three times its height.The sand dunes in the desert stretch continuously, and are affected by the wind, and the sand dunes often move.

Therefore, people call the Taklimakan Desert the Sea of ​​Death, or the forbidden zone of life.

Even today with advanced technology, no one can easily enter the desert relying on advanced modern equipment.

Because once entering the depths of the vast and boundless desert, all instruments may fail, and even airplanes often disappear mysteriously in the deep sky above the desert.

As the saying goes, the more mysterious and dangerous something is, the more attractive it will be.

The most indispensable thing in modern society is the kind of high-level people who have too much money to spend and feel that life is boring.

As a result, almost every year, a group of people like this will drive an imported Hummer worth millions, and carry equipment that can survive in the wild for several months into the desert to explore, trying to find the legendary ancient Loulan country and see the legendary beauty. Queen of Loulan.

(In the 80s, the famous archaeologist Mu Shunying unearthed a female mummy near the Loulan ruins.

After scientific confirmation, this mummy has a history of about 800 years. It is scientifically determined that the woman was about 35 years old when she died. She was 1 meters tall before her death. She was dressed in coarse wool fabric and sheepskin, and her feet were sewn with thick thread fur boots.

Relevant experts scanned the X-rays of the skull of the mummy into the computer, and then according to the theory of "three courts and five eyes" in paintings, determined the position and size of the facial features with 4 straight lines with 5 horizontal lines and 9 vertical lines, and finally restored a beautiful woman with long hair. More than a ruler, it is yellow-brown in color, rolled into a pointed felt hat, with several feathers inserted in the hat, reddish-brown complexion, large and deep eye sockets, high and narrow nose bridge, pointed chin, with distinct European characteristics.

After the recovery of this mummy, it aroused great repercussions in related industries. Officials called this mummy Loulan Beauty, while folks called her the Queen of Loulan. They even asserted that in that city that people have not yet discovered, There really is a living Loulan Queen! )

However, the group of rich explorers who are eager to find the legendary Loulan Queen, who once had a spring breeze with her, often give up the trip due to many difficulties after a few days in the desert.

If someone has to grit his teeth and continue walking, no matter how complete the equipment around him is, and there is no shortage of food or drink, some weird phenomena will cause a mental breakdown.

According to local folklore, in the 90s of the last century, there was a coal boss worth billions. In order to find the legendary Loulan Queen, he brought a convoy of nine Hummers and was protected by seventeen veterans retired from special forces. Once entered the city surrounded by black mountains.

In that mysterious city, they were warmly received by the local residents, and the Queen Loulan of Meisai Tianxian also personally entertained them-but the next morning, when the peripheral responders who had lost contact with them noticed that After the abnormality, the special forces of the Northern Xinjiang Military Region were mobilized in time to find these eighteen confused explorers on a sand dune in the desert.

After returning, these eighteen people died inexplicably one after another without living for a month.

They all died in the early hours of the morning. Before they died, they all had happy but weird smiles on their faces, with their mouths half-opened, as if they were talking to someone with a smile.

Because the experience of the coal boss and others has completely deviated from the category that can be explained by science, and is completely contrary to the atheism advocated by the authorities, so the officials kept their deaths a secret.

However, as the saying goes, fire cannot be covered with paper, and the strange encounters of the coal boss and others eventually spread among the local people.

In the 20 years since then, there has never been a rich man who has done the feat of a coal boss: Although everyone said that life is boring, it is better to live than to die. There is no need to meet the Queen of Loulan. In the true face, you will lose your wealth and life.

The official, because of religious beliefs and other reasons, did not use a large archaeological team to investigate the matter.

Therefore, in the Taklamakan Desert area, the ancient Loulan kingdom still exists, and the legend of the fairy queen Meisai is becoming more and more mysterious and real.

The state does not send expeditions and archaeological teams deep into the Taklamakan Desert, but this does not mean that people still covet Loulan—according to the owner of the hotel near Bayin Airport, there are countless small groups (three to five people) every year, Even solo travelers enter the desert during the annual spring and autumn equinoxes.

Among them, there are many experienced Captain Mojin (professional tomb robber).

However, whether these people who entered the desert have ever entered a ghost city, whether they have seen King Loulan, and whether they have come back alive in the end, the innkeeper does not know. He only cares about how high the price these people can charge. Buy sapper shovels, self-defense shotguns and other adventure equipment here...

Although the mandarin with the local accent is not standard when the bearded boss is talking about it, and in order to heighten the tense atmosphere, he often mixes some vulgar words such as "wo cao, spicy horoscope", most of them are nonsense, but Everyone present, including Qin Chengcheng, still listened with gusto.

After spitting and talking for a long time, the bearded boss took a few sips of milk tea, put the cup on the table, and then took out a bag from underneath.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the bearded man opened the package: besides two homemade single-barreled shotguns, there were also a few engineering shovels of decent quality, as well as necessary tools such as a whirlwind shovel for tomb robbers and a claw for exploring .

There were even a few shriveled black donkey hooves (in Captain Mojin's eyes, black donkey hooves are specially used to restrain zombies), and glutinous rice (glutinous rice is used to deal with fraudulent corpses) and other things.

"Everyone, let's be smart and don't speak dark words, brother, I will speak openly."

The bearded man patted his chest and said proudly: "Brothers know that many people come to the desert to play for excitement. But there are also people who want to find the legendary ancient city of 36 countries while playing. Make a small fortune. However, brothers also know that the bosses have come here from thousands of miles, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to bring all these things with them, so brothers carefully prepared these things for the bosses in advance.”

Wiping the corners of his mouth, the bearded man yelled: "Brother, I dare to use my character as a guarantee. The things I provide are the best in the entire edge of the desert. The quality is absolutely reliable, and the price is fair and reasonable. If you need anything, you can pay for shopping now. In addition, for all those who take care of brother’s business, brother can also contact you for free with a special car going into the desert, and camels that must be used in the depths of the desert.”

After the bearded man finished speaking, he looked at the whole room with piercing eyes.

There were people in the room, but no one spoke.

The bearded man was not in a hurry, because he knew very well that these people were waiting, waiting for the first person to ask the price, and they would immediately surround him.

Sure enough, after the bearded boss waited for 2 minutes, someone stood up from the corner, pointed to a sapper and said, "Boss, how much is that shovel?"

The bearded boss' eyes lit up, he picked up two shovels, and hit each other hard.

The shovel, which seemed to be of good steel, made a pleasant and crisp sound.

The bearded boss held a shovel with generosity on his face and said: "Boss, since you are the first person who wants to take care of brother's business, brother will of course give you a discount, let's just give you a 3000% discount, this shovel is for you [-] yuan is fine!"

It was Gao Fei who stood up and asked the price.

Although Qin Chengcheng usually works in the ivory tower, he belongs to the kind of "life idiot" who doesn't know how much a catty of cabbage is, but when the bearded man said that the small folding shovel cost 3000 yuan a piece, he still couldn't help it. The resident said, "Oh, it costs three thousand for a shovel like this? Isn't that too expensive? Boss, do you think you're selling antiques?"

The bearded man smiled, and still looked at Gao Fei: "Madam proprietress, you don't know, the most expensive shovels you usually see in field equipment stores are only a few hundred yuan, but those shovels, How can it be compared with my shovels?"

Gao Fei smiled lightly and asked, "You shovel, what's the difference?"

The bearded man became serious, and touching the shovel was like touching his wife's attractive body: "My shovel was blessed by Hu Da. Only things blessed by Hu Da can be found in the desert. Its true role comes into play when it is in danger."

Hu Da is the name given to Allah by the communists in the northwest region, and they also regard Hu Da as the master of the desert.

Just like worshiping Mazu who went to sea, those who live in the desert believe in Hu Da.

Gao Fei nodded: "Oh, so that's the case. Well, you can get me three of these engineering shovels."
