All of a sudden my nerves were tense to the extreme.
This is the first time I heard Cheng Feng call danger.
Looking around, I saw no fewer than twenty Hummers parked at the inspection station ahead.
My heart tightened, and I raised the white flag and leaned out of the car window without saying a word.
Under normal circumstances, the Ugly Countryman Hummer comes with a standard configuration of six to eight people, with a maximum of ten.
Twenty Humvees means at least one hundred and twenty ugly countrymen going into battle.
This is already considered a big move!
The hemp rope always breaks at the thin end, and I am afraid that something will happen!
In front of a fully armed with twenty machine guns, no matter how awesome a person is, they can only lie down.
After all the people in the car have been inspected, they are released.
But just as the front wheels of the pickup truck passed the checkpoint, a rapid and exciting voice came from the intercom.
In an instant, hundreds of assault rifles were pointed at us.
This group of ugly countrymen is completely different from the ones we have encountered in the previous waves.
The previous waves were rogue soldiers, but this group of people are elite!
And, they don’t have armbands!
Their weapons are not junk like ordinary 16, but special modified equipment that I have never seen before.
The most peculiar thing is that there is not a single black person in this group of people.
"You, you, go."
After driving everyone out of the car, the two white men got into the car. The pickup truck was sandwiched between ten Hummers and quickly went up the mountain.
Cheng Feng and I looked at each other, exchanged glances, and were already prepared for the worst.
Ten minutes later, we arrived at our destination.
Taking the opportunity to get out of the car and quickly scan the whole place, I couldn't help but tremble.
Zoroastrianism!
At the foot is the top of a large mountain with a vertical height of only three to four hundred meters.
What I saw was a dilapidated ruins on the top of a mountain.
The ruins are very large, extending from the top of the mountain to the gentle slope, roughly estimated to be no less than a thousand square meters.
Such a huge site is an archaeological treasure no matter which country it is placed in!
This site has been abandoned for many, many years, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and it is desolate to the eye.
From the remaining base of the largest site, it can be determined that this is a Zoroastrian temple.
Zoroastrianism is the superior sect of Mingjiao.
As for whether Zhu Yuanzhang came from Mingjiao?
This cannot be verified.
Zoroastrianism, known as Zoroastrianism in China, was introduced to China through nomadic peoples along with Buddha during the Northern Wei Dynasty. It reached its peak during the Tang Dynasty and then disappeared during the reign of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty.
"gogogo!"
"!"
After being kicked out of the car, Cheng Feng and I stood in the open space nearby and were punished. The white men on the six Humvees, except for the machine gunners who stayed on guard, all rushed to the ruins temple.
Silently looking around, I glanced at Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng gently pursed his lips and moved his index finger.
I was immediately surprised!
Sniper?
The mountain on the left?
Or four?
What kind of big operation requires four snipers?
With Cheng Feng's warning, I didn't dare to move or even take another look.
Although I didn't see the specifics below the temple, I could smell it.
The smell of desert soil!
There is still the smell of stone bricks in the desert soil.
These idiots are making a big move!
steal!
Steal!
Dig a grave!
Tocharia was the most prosperous country on the Silk Road. The Bactria and Kushan dynasties were both famous empires in history. .
In the fifth century, the Gadda dynasty was so powerful that it crushed the Sasanian dynasty to the ground and killed the Persian king himself.
Its territory also included parts of the current northern territory of China.
When the Gaida dynasty ruled Tochara, it was also the time when the incense of Zoroastrianism was at its peak.
However, by the sixth century, these extremely powerful empires all knelt at Li Shimin's feet and called Dad, I love you!
During the Dayuezhi Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty directly set up the Protectorate within the territory of the Dayuezhi!
That's right!
Li Tang Dynasty!
This is the land right under my feet after flying for eight hours and walking for three full days!
Set up the Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty! ! !
The former China and the former Tang Dynasty were so awesome!
So awesome!
After twenty centuries of dynasty changes, the rise and fall of religions and the baptism of culture, Tochara has countless historical relics and monuments!
These white-skinned guys must have found something amazing!
This is the site of Zoroastrianism, so there must be good things from Zoroastrianism.
Maybe it’s a sacred object!
Legend has it that the leader of Zoroastrianism can rise from the dead, and their sacred fire staff can even raise the flesh and bones of the dead.
There are even legends that Zoroastrianism is a master of metallurgy. They collected a huge amount of gold in Tochara, which is rich in gold.
Nowadays, Tochara is like China in the late Qing Dynasty. Theft, digging and robbery are commonplace and not unusual at all.
About half an hour later, a white-skinned captain got out of the Hummer behind, pacing back and forth with a cigarette in his mouth, and threw two bottles of Coke to Cheng Feng and me along the way.
Although this group of white-skinned men did not wear armbands and epaulettes, judging from the appearance of the white-skinned captain, this person was by no means an ordinary person.
The photo books left by our ancestors are not suitable for foreigners.
However, I also know another skill of physiognomy!
Wangqi!
Just when I opened the coke and put it to my mouth to drink, a voice came from the sudden temple.
Captain Baipi responded, waved to me, and led Cheng Feng and I quickly towards the temple.
Before I even got close, I narrowed my eyes.
Isn't it?
How can this be?
Are Zoroastrianism and Buddha involved?
Pretending to be timid and fearful, he moved forward timidly, taking in all the situations and making judgments in his mind.
This temple has a history of at least 1,500 years.
There are three layers of ruins and buildings from different periods stacked on top of it.
Anyone who can clearly pull out the three layers of ruins must be a top master in the archaeological world!
"Go!"
At Baipi's urging, Cheng Feng and I were forced to step on the aluminum alloy ladder and descend into the pit of the temple.
In the center of the pit, which is more than 40 meters square, stands a strange-looking brick tower.
