“If this is the remnant of an ancient battlefield, then the thunderstorms in this area in summer are probably not based on the special effects of the Xiwangmu ruins.
What caused the thunderstorm was probably a meteorological weapon left over from ancient times.
It's just that this weather weapon has been damaged and buried in a ruins, so it has been kept here. "
Based on the possibility of a war between survivors in the apocalypse, Jiang Yingxue expanded this to a certain extent. It sounds reasonable, but it really does not make any sense.
“The description of the Kunlun Imperial City appearing frequently in various ancient books may be a misunderstanding caused by misinformation, or it may be a concentrated expression of collective consensus.
Before the advent of writing, the records of past history were mostly myths and legends passed down orally.
Myths and legends are compiled and recorded into written texts, and serious deviations occur in the process of dissemination, and eventually they appear in a state of hundreds of flowers blooming.
As for the so-called citation of scriptures, before there are books with the same text, the accuracy of each source's traceability verification will usually have various deviations due to their own original records.
Therefore, this phenomenon of different details but similar general meaning may be due to natural deviations in the process of information dissemination, or it may be based on a natural information consensus.
If the Kunlun Mountains area where the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is located is really a centralized place used to avoid the great floods of the end of the world, then in the early days when information technology could communicate with each other, such information must have been common.
Under this basic consensus, I feel that these similar information scattered in various ancient books are an accurate description of the situation in the ancient times of Kunlun Mountain. "
Bai Ning's words have a somewhat overall qualitative meaning in them.
In his view, he has completely determined that the Xiwangmu clan has the original refuge base in this canyon.
This is a firm confirmation of the results of the previous exploration of the tomb, and there is no problem.
However, some things are easier said than done. The Kunlun Mountain area covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers. Where can we find the specific location of the "five cities and twelve floors" and the "eighty-one cities surrounding it".
Even the Nalengrad Canyon, which has been accurately located, is a vast area covering an area of more than 3,000 square kilometers.
Although everyone is happily quoting scriptures, nothing has actually been resolved.
Everyone is still stuck on the original question - where to find the original refuge place of the Xiwangmu clan.
"According to the initial discussion, the Queen Mother of the West was a powerful being who controlled the plague. Because of her hegemonic ability, she was surrounded and attacked by other clans. She eventually fled and lived in seclusion deep in the Kunlun Mountains.
Judging from the supernatural wonders currently displayed in this area, we can roughly confirm that there should be certain ancient relics left here.
It’s just that we don’t know whether this ancient remnant was left by the Xiwangmu clan, or whether it was a remnant after other clans divided it up and finally destroyed the base.
We have discussed before that after the Xiwangmu clan avoids the apocalyptic natural disasters, it will definitely expand its living space outside its original base.
But judging from the current overall situation, there are no rumors of any ancient ruins here, and there are also no large-scale ruins left.
In this way, it can be further inferred that the outer area of the Queen Mother's original refuge has actually been completely destroyed by the clan alliance.
Even if we could now find the entrance to the original refuge of the Queen Mother of the West, we would probably have to dig down a very deep distance to encounter it. "
Jiang Yingxue brought the topic back to its original state. Under this assumption, it was extremely difficult for them to find the location of the Queen Mother of the West's original refuge.
This was a consensus that had already been reached before coming here, but Jiang Yingxue presented it more nakedly at this time.
The ruthless exposure of reality is also the most ruthless lashing of dreamers.
All illusions came to an abrupt end at this moment. If the current predicament cannot be effectively solved, no matter how many beautiful words you say, no matter how many ancient texts you quote from scriptures, and no matter how firm your determination is, it is meaningless.
Under this sudden reappearance of strong pressure, the small circle formed by the three fell into the most embarrassing silence.
They were drinking tea and breathing silently, not even bothering to pry into each other's emotional feedback. This level of silence seemed to belong to two different worlds from the noisy sound of punching and drinking not far away.
“Relax more and take more rest.
On our journey here, we were originally chasing the inexplicable and weak starlight. Luck still plays a major role in this.
Furthermore, no one knows whether this treasure map is a fake or whether it is a hidden revenge against the tomb robbers.
After all, our speculation about mutual sympathy and mutual peace is just wishful thinking on our part. "
Picking up a cup of strong tea and taking a sip, Bai Ning gave this discussion calmly.
It seemed that he had been infected by the enthusiasm of the noisy crowd around him and was in an extremely relaxed state.
At the entrance of the Valley of Death, enjoying a few days of rare leisure time is a rare kind of tranquility and ease on the dangerous road.
The long life, the hard pursuit, the risks in the future, the flash of swords and shadows, seem to be in no hurry for this moment.
I didn't expect Bai Ning to recover so quickly, and I don't know if he doesn't care at all about the setbacks here.
Or, in the process of chasing his prey, Bai Ning's mood is always calm and peaceful.
How could a person who is not even afraid of death suffer from setbacks and worries?
A few days passed quickly, and everyone spent a wonderful holiday here without any trouble. Breaking camp and setting off, the convoy slowly advanced towards the middle section of the Nalengrad Gorge.
The dangerous and undulating natural scenery has now become the most common scenery in the world. All the bodyguards drove forward in silence. The most troublesome thing was to be careful not to puncture the tires of the sharp stones on the road.
Fortunately, everyone had good luck. After traveling dozens of kilometers and arriving at the expected target area, not a single tire was damaged.
Without any joy, a group of bodyguards quickly set up a simple lightning rod in the center of the camp. As long as the sudden thunderstorm was not too strong, it should not cause any harm.
I had already looked at the overall layout here in the car. The usual layout surrounded by low mountains was no different from the scenery in the river valley before. I don't know why the Queen Mother of the West built their refuge here in the first place.
The drone has been flown out and is carefully checking the remaining remains of the nearby ruins. Bai Ning, who has nothing to do, can only pick up the tablet sharing the screen and stare at it silently for a while.
Staring at this yellow-grey barren mountain for a long time not only caused severe aesthetic fatigue, but also felt that the brain was tired much faster than normal.
Even if Bai Ning wanted to persist, the sourness in his eyes made it difficult for him to persist for a long time.
The area that the drone flew over is full of barren mountains and rubble. Even if there were some architectural ruins here, they must have been weathered into rubble over thousands of years, mixed in with the falling rocks from unknown sources. middle.
Jiang Yingxue, who was waiting for the good news, saw that Bai Ning was starting to feel tired, and she also had a certain understanding of the degree of boredom here.
"If we can't find the remains of the external buildings, do we have to start digging the ground inch by inch?"
"Um."
Jiang Yingxue's casual voice came over, but Bai Ning didn't pay much attention and just responded with a low nasal voice.
Simple yet powerful, it clearly expresses Bai Ning's attitude.
"According to your thinking, we estimate that we will be here for several months, and if we are a little unlucky, we may even be here for a year or two.
The domestic archaeological community must applaud your dedication. "
Jiang Yingxue's tone of voice was a sign that she was about to leave here.
Bai Ning is a jobless vagrant who can stay in the wild for months and months. Jiang Yingxue's work cannot be left in the hands of others for a long time.
"Satellite communications are so advanced now. If we supervise work here, there is no need to do this."
Bai Ning responded lightly, which made Jiang Yingxue laugh inexplicably and made her laugh.
Bai Ning knew her quite well, and there were some things that only he, the one with the funding, dared to say.
"That's fine.
I don’t know if I have been doing too much good deeds recently, and my business is much better than before. If I don’t handle many important things personally, I am afraid I will develop some arrogant people who rely on their own merits. "
Jiang Yingxue's words had already foreshadowed her departure.
Gathering, separation, separation, and reunion do not change based on personal thoughts. We are all human beings, and we will not have any thoughts of joy or sorrow due to separation, gathering, and separation.
Taking out a follow-up arrangement document and handing it to Professor Huang, Jiang Yingxue was about to leave here under the protection of three elite bodyguards.
As soon as he stood up and symbolically patted the non-existent floating soil on his body, in Jiang Yingxue's field of vision, flocks of sheep suddenly appeared all over the mountains and fields.
This world is so magical. When I first arrived, I met the sheep. When I left a few days later, I was witnessed by the sheep again.
"You are in luck, you have encountered this group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered."
Jiang Yingxue said jokingly, this was a farewell banquet for everyone present.
The bodyguard, who was already suffering from the drone search work, felt his eyes no longer hurt, his waist no longer hurt, and his whole body felt energetic after hearing this.
"I estimate that you may not be able to leave for the time being."
Bai Ning, who got up to see Jiang Yingxue off, saw the long white wave and came to this sudden conclusion.
It's like a parting joke, but also like a calm warning of some unknown danger.
