Daomu Biji

The Jeep team was flying on the endless vast Gobi, the climate was dry, and the car was far away from the car to escape the yellow dust raised by the last car.

I was sitting in the car, looking out the window, thinking about the previous decision, and knowing whether it was correct. At this time, I felt a little too rash.However, now boarding the thief ship, he has no face to repent.

Aning ’s plan told me before departure that I found that it was based on Wenjin ’s route, starting from Dunhuang, passing Dachaidan to the area of ​​Chaerhan Lake, leaving the road from that place, and entering the Qaidam Basin. No man's land.Then the leader Dolma led the way and took the team to the place where she and the expedition team broke up.

This route is almost exactly the same as Wen Jin wrote in the notes. I was very puzzled. Where did she get the information? Obviously, he knew Tamutuo, he decided to decide on Dolma, he knew the route. Same as taking notes, but the notes are in my pocket.

The convoy replenished supplies all the way, and soon reached Dunhuang as planned.Someone told me that the route before arriving in the Qarhan area is still equivalent to the route of self-driving tour, which is relatively safe.

The Yadan landforms on both sides of the road let me appreciate the desolation of the Gobi. This endless endless world feels a strong sense of abandonment. This feeling can be alleviated by the many ruined settlements on the roadside at the beginning. However, when we left Dunhuang, we drove on the Qarhan Highway and drove directly into the Gobi Desert. It was impossible to get rid of it. Because we have been driving for more than ten hours, and the surrounding scenery is almost the same. Suffocating.Thanks to the huge Aning team, the hustle and bustle when camping made us feel more comfortable.

I was in a car with a Caucasian, and he drove in turn with another Tibetan driver. On the road, I asked him these questions to see if he could answer them.

The Caucasus answered it easily. After hearing it, I realized that what I thought was too complicated. I always thought that I should have read the notes, and then knew that Tamu Tuo, who decided on Dolma and the route, was not the case at all. The first measure taken by Aning by the videotape was to investigate the courier company that sent the courier. Through the memories of the courier company, they found the courier who sent the courier.

Afterwards, upon visiting, I asked the courier, and these Tamutuo, guides, and routes were all asked.The current plans are all based on the information of the master Dolma.

I was relieved after listening to it. In this way, the content of the first paragraph of the third part of Wen Jin ’s notes is not important. The important thing is that they broke up with Dingma Zhuoma to the section that entered Tamutuo, but unfortunately I Did not look carefully, must find an opportunity to secretly read it again.

Then, the Caucasus told me about the Tamu Tuo he knew.

The Caucasus people told me that the concept of Tamutuo was known only after Dingma Dolma was found. According to the memory of Dingma Dolma listening to Wenjin's conversation at that time, it seemed to be Wang Zanghai's last stop. As for where, Wenjin they I don't know, I just search.

However, after deciding on Zhuoma's knowledge and experience during the journey, she made her own judgment, and she discovered that the Tamutuo they were looking for was the legendary Western Queen Motherland in their area.According to the locals, that should be called Tarmus, which means a ghost town in the rain. After she discovered this, she was very scared, so she pretended not to find a way and broke up with them.

"West Queen Motherland?" I was surprised when I heard it: "Isn't that something in myth?"

"Actually not, the mother country of the West Queen really exists, and it is an ancient country with a long history. There was a legend in the Yellow Emperor period. The Queen Mother of the West is the queen of the country. Qinghai Lake is called" Chixue Jiamu "in Qiang, and Jiamu is the king. The meaning of the mother, we think it is the queen ’s Yaochi, and Tarmus is the capital of the queen ’s country. The Western Queen represents the sacred power in the legend of the Western Regions, and the legend that he heard when he was the lord of Dolma. This city only appears during heavy rain, and when it is seen, it will be taken away and become blind, so she is very scared. "

"Then do you mean that what we are looking for now is actually the ancient capital of the Western Queen Motherland?"

"It can be said that according to the analysis of current archaeological data, especially in recent years, the existence of the Queen Mother of the West has been confirmed." Caucasus: "In fact, if Tamutuo is in the Qaidam Basin, then he must be Part of the Western Queen Motherland, this time it is to find Tamutuo. In fact, it is to find the remains of the Western Queen Motherland. What you need to know is that instead of looking for the Western Queen Motherland, it is something we find that will automatically become the Western Queen Motherland. , This is an archaeological expedition. "

I laughed bitterly when I heard it, Queen West?I remember that it wasn't a messy thing.Wang Zanghai's last envoy was the Queen Mother of the West?Does this make sense?

After thinking for a while, I thought of the legend of descendants seeking immortality medicine. I thought Wang Canghai would also seek medicine that time?Feeling very ridiculous, she shook her head to get rid of the idea and didn't think about it.

After that, I counted the equipment I got from Aning in the car. Their company has special clothes. My clothes will be dried in the daytime and will freeze in the night, so I changed the desert clothes in the car. I was surprised when I wore it, and found that the belt of this dress even had the number 02200059.

I asked the Caucasians that this is the number. He means the barcode number of their company. Their boss is fascinated by this number. It is said that it is also translated from a silk book of the Warring States Period.

I was very surprised, thinking of the password on the seven-star Luwang box, and I said that this number has any special meaning?

In the next two days, we infiltrated deep into the next door. The speed of Land Rover was very fast. In these two days, we entered the hinterland of Qaidam.

The people in Aning are very out of sight. They camped a few times. The people who were together in Jilin and I all got along very well. The others are familiar with me. My personality is quite easy to get along with others. Come, at least one advantage, I don't have to face the faceless expressionless oil bottle all day.And he didn't seem to want to bother me at all.

This is actually a bit abnormal, because in the previous contact, although the stuffy oil bottle is also not easy to get along with, it does not feel so alienated this time. I always feel that he is avoiding something.On the contrary, the black glasses seemed to be very interested in me, and always came to talk to me.

After the car entered the Gobi, it quickly left the road and decided to lead Zhuoma. She was accompanied by her daughter-in-law and a grandson. She was in the car with Aning in the front of the team. I am not Knowing their situation, only knowing that after the old lady started to lead the way, the place where the car was going to start was difficult to walk. It was either a gravel beach or an arid river bed in a river valley, and soon the team complained.

Dingma explained that to find the mountain pass she had seen, she had to find a village. Their trip started from that village. Wenjin ’s horses and camels were bought in the village. Now This village may be deserted, but the site should still be there, and you can find it before you can proceed to the next step.

The old woman's memory is still quite good. Sure enough, in the evening, we came to the small village called "Lancuo". There were still people living in the village. There were more than 30 people in four households.

This discovery makes us ecstatic, one is to prove the ability of the old woman, and the other is that things are going well, and it is always very happy to see the place where humans gather in the Gobi for a long time.It was late at the time, and we decided to camp in the village.

It is a pity that there was an accident when we entered the village. A car rolled into a wind erosion ditch. No one was okay, but the car was scrapped. At this time, we are already quite far away from the nearest highway, and we cannot get Any assistance.This means that another car must also stay to take care of it.

After this incident happened, Aning began to appear very worried. We rested by the scrapped car that night, and Aning told us her concerns. She was a little worried, although equipped with first-class off-road Car, but the conditions around it are too bad. If you ca n’t find the mountain pass in a short period of time, these cars will definitely be scrapped here one by one. Sometimes it may be a very small problem in the garage, but here Will paralyze the car.

And the farther they go deep into the basin, the abandoned cars and the people with them may not be able to get rescued in time and encounter danger in the Gobi.

Cars and camel horses are different. Camels will heal themselves when they are injured, and minor injuries will not affect travel. However, cars with high technology, as long as there is an accident, are fragile and sad. These are civilian cars. There is no strong military.

But this is not A Ning's mistake, because in this era, it is impossible for this team of nearly 50 people to enter Qaidam on a camel. One cannot find so many camels at a time, 50 people, Coupled with camel running luggage and spare camels, it may take nearly 100 peaks. Such a huge camel team is so conspicuous that it will definitely be noticed by the government.

The mechanics on the team told her that they did n’t need to be so unfounded. The Qaidam Basin was not a big place at the speed of “Land Rover”. Qaidam might be the same as the Taklimakan Desert 20 years ago. The terrifying sea of ​​death is now able to traverse half a development area for more than ten hours, including a large number of exploration bases and industrial bases, so there is no need to worry about so many.

However, this was immediately rejected by the grandson of Dolma. This young man named Tashi said that we trust the power of the machine too much. Although Qaidam has been conquered, the safe place is limited to the place where the radiation of the road network is obtained. , Accounting for only about 2% of the entire basin, the other 98% of the area is entirely desert, marshes, salt cover, we are a dozen cars less than 50 people, for this piece was swallowed tens of millions of years ago The land of life is insignificant.

He said that even if it is along the least dangerous travel route designed, people will be lost and die every year. Do n’t say we are going to go deeper into no man ’s land now.

He also said that the people he had seen before were all travelers who aimed to cross the basin. These people would not stay in the basin for more than two days, and our purpose was to search in the basin, that is to say, we There is no end to her journey. Going around in the Gobi is the biggest taboo of the herdsmen here. Therefore, Miss Ning ’s worries are not unreasonable. You should be careful about everything.

Zhaxi's words made us silent. Aning thought for a long time and asked Tashi: What do you suggest to us?

Tashi shook his head and said: Since you are going to enter Qaidam, then the head of the person must be fixed on the waistband. This has been the case since ancient times.

Zhaxi ’s statement is always a bit alarmist. Before I heard someone say, Zhaxi was very angry about my grandmother ’s promise to lead us. He thought this matter was too dangerous. Aning they used money to convince him 'S grandmother is a karma. We bring danger and sin to his grandmother.But the old lady Dharmana was very determined, and the grandmother's status in the Tibetan family was very high, and Tashi couldn't help it.I had to take care of it.So he basically didn't give us any good looks along the way, nor did he say anything good.

Even so, but there are only a few adobe dwarf villages on the Gobi, blowing the cold wind of the Gobi at night, watching the twitching campfire, and thinking about our distance from the civilized world now, I still feel a chill .

After he finished speaking, we didn't have any interest in talking again. Several people sat silently by the campfire for a long time, and each went into their sleeping bags to rest.We are leaving early tomorrow morning. Anin did not set up tents, but all sleeping bags in the open air. The temperature here sometimes reached minus zero, so we were hiding behind the raised ridge and warming up near the campfire.

Lying there, I felt that many people could not sleep, surrounded by whispers of wind, and no wonder, this may be the last place marked on the map before entering Qaidam, the veteran of this kind of activity is naturally Don't care, but a large part of the team are people invited locally, and of course will be a little excited at this time.

I do n’t know if I ’m a veteran or a novice. I just looked up at the sky and found that the sky here is much closer to the ground and the stars are much clearer. I ’m in the south, and I have n’t seen the starry sky for a long time after I became an adult.Now seeing the shining Milky Way in the sky so clear, I couldn't help but feel sleepy.

However, the long-distance running always worked, and after a while, the sound around gradually quieted down.

Aning they arranged for a vigil. Because of the large number of people, these fatigued jobs are mainly performed by people hired locally, so they will not be rotated to us, but because this is still a village, there is no need to be too vigilant, Tashi I also said that only large beasts may appear near Cocoa Sile. There are so few grasses here that even mice do not come, let alone meat-eating beasts, so I did not hear the chatter of the night watchman. Fell asleep.I faintly heard a few animal calls in the wind, but I didn't care too much. We slept in the middle of the camp and were eaten, and it was not our turn.

I was thinking about things while looking at the night sky, and I did n’t know how long it was. When I was also drowsy, it was hazy, and suddenly I felt someone came to me, and I shivered, sober At first glance, it turned out to be Tashi.

I was taken aback by him. I sat up and tried to talk. He squatted down and pressed my mouth. He said softly: "Don't talk, come with me, my grandma wants to see you." For more information, please visit www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
