Chapter 105: Deadhead
But looking through an infrared telescope, all the colors are the same, and there is no temperature difference at all.
I was actually quite confused and didn’t know how to use this thing, so I quickly handed the binoculars to Xiang Hu. He nodded and took the binoculars.
I saw that his hand holding the gun was still tight, so I quickly took a few steps away and watched from the side.
Even though the surroundings were so quiet right now that you could hear a pin drop, I was still a little fussy and couldn't help but look around.
This man's every move made me feel like a very capable soldier. Judging from his approach, he was completely different from those who were playing tricks. I seemed to see the shadow of Wang Yuanchao in him.
After a long time, he put down the gun he was holding, and then started patrolling around slowly as if nothing had happened.
I hesitated for a moment, then walked over and asked: "Xiang Hu, did you discover anything just now?"
Xiang Hu shook his head and said nothing.
Just when I thought this guy wouldn't answer me, he suddenly said in a calm voice: "I felt like someone was staring at me just now..."
I took a deep breath and suddenly looked horrified.
This is the third time!
The first time I had this inexplicable feeling, then Zhang Sanpao, and then Xiang Hu.
We obviously didn't find anything, even the infrared telescope for detecting body temperature showed normal, but this weird feeling happened again and again.
People's sixth sense is actually a very subtle perceptual ability. If this happens to three people, it should not be as simple as an illusion.
I couldn't help but shudder. Could it be that there is a transparent person hiding behind this?
"This place is most likely a guillotine."
While I was deep in thought, a voice suddenly sounded from behind, making me tremble violently.
When I turned around, it was Zhang Sanpao who had gotten out of the sleeping bag at some point. I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but Zhang Sanpao's words aroused my interest. I seemed to have heard the word decapitated somewhere.
I frowned and asked:
"What is Sleepy Hollow?"
Zhang Sanpao sat down opposite me, then squinted his eyes and said, "This term came from the Northern Sect, and it refers to a large tomb dug by the Northern Sect in Lop Nur in the 1980s."
“Lop Nur, the Land of Beheadings!”
I took a breath of cold air. Those in our field basically know what happened back then. At that time, many gem necklaces from ancient countries in the Western Regions were unearthed around Lop Nur. More than fifty old people from the north were discussing entering Lop Nur.
Touch gold and do something big. The old guys here don't refer to those old people who are over 70 years old, but the masters who have experienced hundreds of battles and are recognized by the tomb robbing world.
This team was almost the most powerful force in the world of tomb robbers at that time. They could even take down the heavens. However, they suffered heavy losses in Lop Nur. In the end, only three people escaped and all of them were admitted to a mental hospital...
Because this trip destroyed almost all the elites of the Northern Sect, Lop Nur was also called the Land of Beheaded by the tomb robber community!
What happened after that is something we ordinary people cannot understand. It is said that at that time, a large number of People's Liberation Army entered Lop Nur and set it up as a military restricted area. All news was blocked. This also resulted in many rumors about Lop Nur to this day.
Rumors spread everywhere.
"Well, this is the place! In fact, the term Guillotine Place has been around since my grandfather's generation. It refers to some rare and vicious tombs that have never been trampled on by anyone." Zhang Sanpao said.
I actually didn’t understand the specific meaning of Zhang Sanpao’s words. He paused and continued:
"A complete ancient tomb actually includes the dragon gate, the dragon formation, and the dragon core. These three are indispensable. The dragon gate refers to the mountain used to hide the tomb, and the dragon formation refers to the traps surrounding the ancient tomb.
, the dragon core naturally refers to the ancient tomb itself. All ancient dignitaries would set up a large number of dragon gates and dragon arrays around their tombs to protect the dragon core. The idea at that time was that the most noble emperor was in the dragon core.
Dragon Gate, Dragon Formation is the soldiers arrayed to face the enemy..."
Zhang Sanpao spoke eloquently and attracted Xiang Hu.
I nodded, Zhang Sanpao was really not a boaster as he was trying to get the job of Captain Jin.
"But these dragon gates and dragon formations placed outside are too conspicuous, and they are undoubtedly telling those local masters that my tomb is here, come and touch gold! So after experiencing countless tomb robbing incidents, the princes in the late Warring States Period began to
The Dragon Gate and the Dragon Formation were cancelled, and the word was gradually forgotten in the long river of history. If the veterans of the Northern Sect had not discovered Lop Nur, maybe the term would have completely disappeared in a few years..."
"What happened in Lop Nur that year?" I asked curiously.
"I only know a little bit of the inside story, and you may not believe me if I tell you. At that time, a large number of living dead appeared in Lop Nur. They would bite anyone they saw. Every time the sun went down, they would attack the herdsmen. Even guns could not kill them. It is estimated that a large number of People's Liberation Army came in.
Just to deal with them. There were also some People's Liberation Army soldiers who were on guard duty the next day. Inexplicably, they found that there was a person who looked exactly like themselves next to them, and then they bit their own necks crazily. Of course, these are all for me
I heard what my master said, but I don’t know if it’s true or not…”
Almost half an hour had passed since Zhang Sanpao finished telling the story about Lop Nur.
"You mean, this might also be a land of beheadings? Another Lop Nur." This time it was Xiang Hu who spoke.
"I'm not sure, but judging from the situation here, the population is quite sparse. If the Dragon Gate and Dragon Formation are really deployed, our journey will be miserable..."
Zhang Sanpao said with a wry smile.
I suddenly felt like my scalp was exploding. If this damn place was really like Lop Nur, what would we do? At that time, a large number of troops were dispatched to settle that place.
"It's not as exaggerated as Zhang Sanpao said. Someone has come here to explore the way. Even if there is a Dragon Gate Dragon Formation, they are still cannon fodder! Hehe." Ma Rulong had also woken up at this moment, and he said with a strange smile like an eagle.
"Mr. Ma, can we open the skylight and speak frankly? Since everyone is here, can you remove the bombs around our ankles?" I said quickly.
"Don't worry, I know it well. Cooperate well with me. If this deal can be completed, you will be able to enjoy it for several lifetimes."
Ma Rulong said with a smile.
I secretly cursed the old fox. This old guy is really insufferable and has a thicker skin than a fat man. When we find a big fight, he might just blow us up to death.
We were all well rested by now. We had something to eat and were ready to set off.
Suddenly, a long black shadow flashed in front of us.
Chapter completed!
