The rocky mountain in front covers an area of ​​more than ten acres, and the highest peak in the middle is probably less than ten meters above the ground. There are jagged rocks scattered nearby. The entire terrain is not high, and it cannot actually be called a "mountain".

Where the rocks meet the desert, some broken walls are exposed. There are a few buildings that are relatively complete, similar in style to the Loulan ruins, but there are no pagodas or anything like that. All the rocks here are dark brown, and many places look like

Dark red blood oozed out, and the dilapidated building also had an eerie aura, which was extremely unsettling.

After getting closer, Xiaoxue and I both felt that although there was an evil atmosphere here, it was different from the dark atmosphere of the evil things we encountered twice before. It seemed that everything here was just exposed after the sand was blown away, and it had once been

Many people have died, and most of the yin energy comes from this.

There were four Japanese hiding in the ruins, but the footprints they walked in had betrayed them, and Xiaoxue had already sensed their location.

This was probably not the ruins Luo Mingzhong mentioned, nor did it look like the lair of that powerful evil creature, so I walked forward boldly and waved to signal to the second echelon behind me that they could move forward.

I stood on the edge of the ruins and shouted: "Everyone inside, get out of here. Can you hide in there for the rest of your life?"

The people inside hesitated for a minute or two and then walked out dejectedly. One was Kenta Abe, the other was a seriously injured master, and two pale-faced onmyojis. They stopped about twenty meters away from me, and Kenta Abe said in a hoarse voice.

The voice said: "You have lost all your materials. Now you should find a way to get out of here. We can provide help..."

"Haha..." I laughed angrily, "You are in trouble, but you still want to help us. Aren't you too kind? Unfortunately, I don't need your help, and you have no chance to wait for your rescue.

"

Kenta Abe was originally a very handsome man with aristocratic temperament, but now he is haggard, haggard and weak. Summoning the white tiger has seriously overdrawn his spirit and spiritual power. He is now so weak that he is not even as good as an ordinary person, but he

Still trying his best to stay calm, he straightened his back and said, "What do you want?"

I said word by word: "I will not beat the dog into the water. I will keep the jade charm that originally belonged to the Chinese. I will let you leave here today."

Kenta Abe's face twitched: "I don't have it with me, and I can't possibly give it to you!"

"Then there's nothing more to say. You smuggled in, tried to steal Chinese cultural relics, and attacked us. You deserved to die. I'll kill you first, and then go to Japan and take it back. I'll kill anyone who dares to stand in your way!"

Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng ran to me and stopped. Lu Qingwen said: "If you don't kill him, I will keep him as hostage in exchange for the jade talisman!"

"Don't even think about it!" Kenta Abe's face was angry and distorted. He gritted his teeth and pulled out a short knife from his waist. He stabbed toward the heart and screamed, "Taro Toe will avenge me!"

We were all stunned for a moment, we didn't expect that he was handsome in appearance but had such a strong heart.

The master of the single sword thrust the knife into the ground and tore off his already tattered shirt in two or two strokes. I thought he was trying to fight for his life, but he pulled out his katana and knelt down towards the direction that was probably east.

Turning the blade upside down, he held the blade with both hands, stabbed it into his abdomen, and slowly cut downwards...

Gao Feng and Lu Qingwen wanted to rush over to stop the other two Onmyojis from committing suicide, but I held them back. Although they were enemies, their actions made me respect them and I could not humiliate them.

Two Onmyoji also committed suicide, but they were not as decisive as Kenta Abe, nor as tragic as that Japanese samurai. Not everyone has such courage and determination.

"It's a pity. It would be great if we could capture him alive and force his family to exchange them for jade talismans." Lu Qingwen said with a look of pity on her face.

I shook my head: "They are arrogant people and will not exchange the jade talisman. That would force them to use more terrifying means to deal with my relatives and friends."

Gao Feng said: "I still feel that I can't forgive my hatred if I didn't kill them with my own hands."

I glanced at him: "They are dead anyway, so what difference does it make how they died?"

Lu Qingwen asked: "How do you know that Kenta Abe has a jade charm in his hand?"

"That day he ambushed us and when he escaped, he said that the jade charm belonged to them. I suspected that he had at least one in his hand... Who is Taro Toe, the number one master in Japan?"

Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng both shook their heads in confusion.

Yun Feiyang and Yu Chengshu ran over panting, glanced at the four Japanese corpses, and then ran into the ruins. Not to mention the newly dead corpses at this moment, even if the most beautiful beauties took off their clothes, they probably wouldn't.

Take another look if you are interested. For them, scraps, scraps, and mummies are more attractive.

Although Abe Kenta said that the Jade Talisman was not on him, I still carefully searched his body and found many bits and pieces, including the thing he used to summon the white tiger. It was a piece of soft old leather with

There are seven western ones among the twenty-eight constellations

There is a diagram of the stars connected in the shape of a white tiger, and there is also a diagram of the five stars, the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and there are many words and patterns that I don’t recognize. This kind of thing cannot be used without specific spells, magic tricks, and luck methods.

, it was impossible for me to crack it, but I accepted it anyway.

The dagger used by Kenta Abe to commit suicide exudes a cold aura. The handle is inlaid with gems and exquisite patterns, and there are several ancient inscriptions on the guard. It looks like it should be an antique, but there are no signs of wear.

.I pulled it out and saw that it was only about a foot long. There were plum patterns and bamboo patterns on both sides of the knife. It was cold light and did not stain blood. There was no chip. It was just like a new knife.

I didn't find the jade talisman. Apart from these two items, I'm not interested in anything else. I'll leave him to be buried with him. After all, he was a capable man. I'm sorry to let him go to the underworld empty-handed.

After confirming that there were no enemies, wild beasts or evil things in the ruins, I walked back to find Liu Ping and Amy. I was really worried because I couldn't receive a signal. I found them after a while, and there was good news. I wanted to stay away from the ruins.

There was a signal. What was even more coincidental was that Lin Mei called me at this moment, telling me that everything was fine and asking me to rest assured and pay attention to my safety.

I felt relieved and asked Liu Ping and Amy to stay put. My Qiankun bag contained a complete set of outdoor living tools that I had used before, including tents, iron pots, and rice noodles, so I "transformed" them for them.

Set up a place to stay.

I walked back to the ruins. The two experts were looking through the junk and looked very excited. Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng were bored because they couldn't help. Yu Chengshu didn't even let them touch anything.

"Expert, have you discovered anything?"

"Yes, yes, look at this..." Yu Chengshu took out a wooden slip from a jar and carefully spread it out on the ground. There were some ghostly writings on it, and I couldn't understand any of them.

Yu Chengshu said excitedly: "This is Luwen. This proves that this is one of the ancient countries more than a thousand years ago, or a tribe affiliated to a certain country. In fact, the architectural style here has also proved this. This place used to be

There is water..."

I interrupted him: "Can you recognize these words?"

"I understand a little bit, but it takes more time to study."

I sighed: "The archaeological excavation and sorting can be done slowly. Now I need you to determine which country this ruins belongs to and what major events happened as soon as possible."

Yu Chengshu looked embarrassed. Archeology is a rigorous matter and it is impossible to draw conclusions in a short time. But he also knew that we didn't have much time, so he finally said: "Okay, okay, I understand."

I walked around and saw many mummies and bones. Most of them died at home. The mummies were intact, and no swords, guns or arrows were found nearby. These people either died of sudden illness or died of hunger and thirst.

Yun Feiyang quickly solved the mystery of the signal interference. The black rocks here contain extremely high iron content and may have strong magnetism, which affects electronic instruments and signals. Those dark red traces are actually iron oxide, which is iron embroidery.

.

Yu Chengshu shouted from the largest ruins at the end of the passage: "Captain, captain, there is important information here... Oh my God, this is the most exquisite ancient country!"

As we all know, the ancient country of Jingjue has been discovered by Stein. It has been almost a hundred years. Yu Chengshu has told us many stories about the country of Jingjue, but now he says that this is the ancient country of Jingjue?

We hurried over and saw that this building might be an official residence or a royal palace, and the splendor and splendor of the past could still be seen vaguely. There was a stone tablet on the floor of the hall, and two mummies were nestled next to it, holding a hammer and a chisel in their hands.

Cheng Shu was staring at the inscriptions on the stone tablet, rubbing his hands in excitement.

"No, no, I translated it wrong. It should mean something like this: The people of Jingjue Kingdom hurriedly left their homeland where they had lived for a long time. They came here to avoid powerful enemies. This place can protect them. There is a long way in the middle.

The place... no, there was a strange man in the Central Plains, who looked very holy, no, he was as powerful as a god and helped them defeat the enemy..."

Yu Chengshu said it was very confusing, because this kind of writing has long been lost, and modern people interpret it based on very limited information and guesswork, and he didn't know what some words meant. I told him not to worry first, and to study it clearly before

Completely.

After waiting for a full hour, Yu Chengshu began to tell a very legendary story. He stated beforehand that he could only decipher about 50% of the text on the stone tablet. Some of the content was inferred by him based on the context, and some details were for the sake of the story.

The completeness was added by myself.

More than 1,600 years ago, residents of the Jingjue Kingdom lived along the Niya River. They attached great importance to environmental protection and planted a large number of trees where they lived. There were legal regulations on domestic water use and farmland irrigation, and waste of water was severely punished.

The caravans that came and went brought them taxes and exquisite goods, and they lived a prosperous and comfortable life. Suddenly one day, a group of powerful and barbaric people attacked them and defeated them. From then on,

These barbarians often asked for various things from them and killed them for no reason. Just when they were desperate, a very handsome young man from the Central Plains followed the caravan here and helped them defeat the barbarians again and again. But they
