Chapter 209: Snake Marsh Ghost City (Part 2) Wen Jin's Note (Part 2)

September 6, 1990

Today, "Wang's Theory of Relativity" encountered a problem. In Wang Zanghai's final mural, we found such a content:

(The following is a sketch, about the copy of the mural. When I saw this, I remembered the things similar to the children's sketches I saw when I turned the table. They turned out to be the murals they copied.

The content of the sketch is difficult to describe, because the painting is very bad, I can only see that it seems to be a scene of a noble and noble person, farewell to another person, the background is a large palace gate, and the "camel" is neatly lined around it. Animals such as horses are of course drawn exactly like dogs and mice.I am familiar with ancient landscape paintings and beast paintings. I have been rigorously trained in this area, so I can guess from the brush strokes and shapes that these strange-shaped animals should actually be horses or camels.Behind the palace gates, the waiters were in groups and lined up in a ceremonial line, showing that the picture-in-picture is a rather vast scene.

After that, there are still two or three pages of paintings. I am not interested. I jumped over and looked directly at the content behind.)

These murals should be things after Wang Canghai was sixty-eight years old. At that time, he had completed his last project, and the content of the mural probably said that he accepted the emperor's order and set off to a place, similar to the Such activities in other countries.The composition of this mural is obviously imitating those Tang Dynasty murals from the west to the Western Regions of Tang Xuanzhuang. It is very peculiar.However, we checked all the porcelain, but we never found any porcelain paintings that could be compared to this.

Some people say that this may be the last experience. He does not have any architectural works. However, some people insist that people like Wang Zanghai will not have such an exception.There is no correspondence with porcelain paintings, there may be any special meaning or reason, perhaps, his work was carved in other places.

Indeed, after continuing to study, it was found that Wang Zanghai was very mysterious in the last few years, and there was no historical material left at all. In his life, it can be said that the last period of time was blank.

Where was he in the past few years and what did he do?this is a big problem.

December 6, 1990

Over the past few months, we have been investigating Wang Zanghai's whereabouts in the last few years, and finally have clues.We found that after the final project, Wang Zanghai accompanied the emperor to have a mountain sacrifice in Changbai Mountain, and since then there has been no written record.

Changbai Mountain, did he say he went into the mountain?We are very skeptical.

December 7, 1990

There is no way to check here, we turned around and started from the emperor's side. In Mingzhi, we have detailed records of the travels and ceremonies of the embassy. National record.

The results were very surprising. We found that the emperor's death two years before, there were a total of seven ceremonies, six of which were normal, but one time was very strange, the record was very simple, without any side notes:

"In the twenty-nine years of Hongwu, forty-six guards, twelve men, 126 horses, ten pearls, thirty pounds of gold, etc., made Tamutuo."

Dadian and the embassy, ​​these are the only two records with complete conditions. However, this record does not record the officials of the embassy at the time, but the most strange thing is, where is Tamutuo?

Is it a country?There are no records in the official history, but it is very likely that there are countless small countries in the periphery of the Ming Dynasty, Southeast Asia and the Western Region. Perhaps this is one of the small countries.However, it is a bit strange that Wang Zanghai went to make envoys with a small country.His age is not suitable for this kind of long journey.

February 11, 1991

The investigation continued, during which we had two discussions.

(There are ten pages of nonsense in the middle, all of which are discussions and speculations, but they all confirmed the error later, so they were deleted.)

Because Ming Shi experienced a catastrophe in the Qing Dynasty, it was very difficult to investigate this time, and there was no result for a long time. Later, I changed the angle of investigation and solved a problem.We compared what the envoy "Tamuo Tuo" carried, and found that the types of gifts indicated that this should be a country in the Western Regions, and the number of gifts as gifts seemed very small.However, there are so many horses. It looks like a caravan, not an envoy team.

March 6, 1991

There is no clue at all, no breakthroughs can be found, the research is stagnant, and everyone is in a bad mood.

This is the first paragraph. Obviously, there should be some content in front of this paragraph, but there is no trace of the torn page in front. It seems that this should not be a separate note. This is a series of notes. One.

In the content described in the first paragraph, they are doing research on Wang Zanghai, discovering "Tamu Tuo", then studying "Tamu Tuo", and finally studying such a process of stagnation.Many things can be seen in this paragraph. They are studying the frescoes and porcelain in the seabed tombs. Moreover, they seem to study very orthodox and systems, which is a classic archaeological process. It is boring, but it is the main method of archaeologists' daily research. Archaeology is to dig-repair-check).But when the three uncles went there, it was impossible for them to have such a condition. The tomb of Wang Zanghai was so large. How long would it take for these few people to work to record all the things in the tomb?So when did they do this job?

This is a big clue, but I did n’t have time to think about it, so I continued to look down.At that time, I thought that this process would continue. However, after the paragraph of March 6, 1991, there was a phenomenon that puzzled me.

After this paragraph, there are about six pages of content, all of which are statements of data collection, which is skipped.After turning it over, the next work diary jumped to January 19, 1993.

Then, look at the content recorded in it, and you will find that it is quite different from the previous one.The content of this paragraph is from January 19, 1993 to February 8, 1995. The time span is longer than the previous paragraph. However, there are not many things that can be recorded.The contents are as follows:

On January 19, 1993, after the last discussion, Wang Zanghai's affairs became clear.It seems that he went to Tamu Tuo, which is indeed related to the emperor's sacrifice to Changbai Mountain. He should return to Yunding Tiangong, and then set off for Tamu Tuo.This Tamutuo must be related to the situation in Changbai Mountain.

On April 18, 1993, we sorted out three routes to Yunding Tiangong from the murals, and we decided to go to Changbai Mountain to find out.

On May 30, 1993, entering Changbai Mountain, the weather was very bad.

(After that, there are about a dozen pages of travel records like adventure novels. It is similar to what we entered Genting. Until after entering.)

On June 15, 1993, they lost contact with them and the two of us moved on.

On June 17, 1993, we reached the bottom of the Tiangong Temple. The situation was very bad. Other people might be fierce, and we did not have time to hesitate. We decided to enter the bronze gate to see what was inside.

On June 18, 1993, it seemed that I saw the ultimate!

(It was interrupted after arriving here, without any content, the next diary is the last paragraph. Obviously she has not recorded anything for almost a year and a half.)

The last record is that on February 8, 1995, we began planning to find Tamutuo. What is going on with this? I must figure it out.

This is the second part. There are about thirty pages of content here. Obviously, there have been gaps between the first part and the second part for several years.In this second part, they directly started the journey of Genting Heavenly Palace. I saw a question in my heart that was clear. It seems that the people who died in the golden heap in Genting Heavenly Palace should be their group. And looking at what they carry, what Wen Jin said here should be the group of people in Xisha.

In this way, they don't seem to have any other special embarrassment, and they seem to live comfortably?But these were secondary, and what shocked me the most was that obviously Wen Jin also found the bronze door, and she also went in.

"I saw the ultimate!" I saw the cold sweat here, and I said what does this mean, what does this ultimate represent?

Looking at the recorded time, after she entered, there was almost no diary for a year and a half, which was inconsistent with her personality.I felt that she was very likely to see something in the bronze door, so that she was so shocked that she had no time to think about any notes.

Throughout the second part, the biggest feeling to me was that the Tamu Tuo should have a great relationship with the bronze gate. After Wen Jin entered the bronze gate, the idea of ​​looking for this "Tamu Tuo" germinated.

After that, it is the third part. This part is very long, but the time span is very short, from February 8, 1995 to June 8, 1995. Among them, it is worth mentioning that there is only one paragraph.

February 8, 1995

According to the dragon vein map, we can already determine the location of Tamutuo. We will conduct an exploration. We hope that in this exploration, we can find the answers to the series of puzzles.To be honest, I really didn't expect that there are so many things behind this. If what I saw in the bronze door is true, then this whole thing is terrible.

After that, it was all they went to the content called "Tamu Tuo". Looking at the description above, this "Tamu Tuo" should be an oasis in the Gobi. Wen Jin followed a camel team at the beginning of 1995 Starting from Dunhuang, I went deep into the Qaidam Basin and went on this journey.

They were led into the Gobi by a female guide named Dingma Dolma, and then in a rock mountain, they broke up with her and entered this place called "Tamutuo".It seemed very dangerous in that oasis. Many people died along the way. I also saw many dangerous signs on the road map of the notes.At last they reached Tamutuo, but she had a disagreement with another person, and finally she returned without moving on.

I read it very quickly, and I didn't take a closer look. After the content, it was blank and there was no content.This part is about thirty pages, very detailed, with a lot of road maps and descriptions of equipment defects, weather and the like.

Throughout this note, it is not written how they got the information or how to investigate, nor did they mention anything about their disappearance in Xisha, nor did they mention anything about this sanitarium.All the information in it is related to this "Tamuo Tuo". Almost half of the space is an analysis of the things left behind by Wang Zanghai's Tie Miansheng, and I found a link to "Tam Tuo".Moreover, I feel very concerned about these three paragraphs, there are obvious breaks in the middle, it seems that the notes are bound or rewritten by someone.

I forcibly pulled up the gap between the pages and found that there was no trace of rebinding and tearing pages. This is a complete note.That is to say, this note may be a duplicate copy of Wenjin.She seems to have picked the contents of Tamutuo in several notes, copied them down, and gathered them together in one note.

Why should she do this?This is another incredible thing. Why are these people doing things so mysteriously?Is there something else in the notes that she does not want others to know?

Moreover, looking at this note, it is obvious that I just want to let me know that the place of "Tamu Tuo" is very important, and it seems that I want to go to that place.

There are so many doubts in my heart, and I can't figure out the clue at once. I rubbed my temple and turned the note to the beginning. I was going to start from the beginning carefully to see if I could get some clues if I carefully scrutinized it.However, by this time, the lighter in front of him had dimmed.The flames had shrunk and the light was quite dim.

I remembered that the lighter has been used for quite a long time, and may soon be cut off, so I wanted to ignite those newspapers and drawers to make a bonfire pile, so that the lighter would not be able to fight for a while, and I had to touch the darkness.So he stood up with a lighter and stretched his bones.

At this moment, I felt something was amiss. There seemed to be something different here. I simply raised the lighter to see if it was an illusion. It ’s okay if I do n’t look at it. I barely scared me to death. I saw the person across the table. I do n’t know when a “person” appeared. This person was sitting on the chair I was sitting on, looking at the mirror Combing hair.
