Maoshan ghost hunter

After receiving the ticket from Cao Yu, Ye Shaoyang glanced at the destination of the flight: Dunhuang.

"Are we going to Dunhuang?" This city is completely unfamiliar to Ye Shaoyang, and the only thing he can think of is the Giant Buddha.

"The plane can only sit there. Our supplies have been transported, and we will drive into the desert when we get there."

Sibao was a little excited, and said: "I have long wanted to visit the Longmen Grottoes, and pay homage to the Great Buddha by the way."

Cao Yu said with a smile: "On the way back, if the master is interested, you can stay in Dunhuang for a longer period of time, but not when you go. We are in a hurry and don't have time to play."

After staying at the airport for a short time, I got on the plane.Accompanying Cao Yu were two assistants who sat in the first class cabin together.

It was the first time for Guagua to fly on a plane. He lay on the edge of the window and kept looking out. After a while, he walked back and forth on the plane. Ye Shaoyang wanted to remind him to be more honest. Thinking that no one else could see him, it would be easy for him to talk to the air. Being treated as a neuropathy, just shut up.

"Mr. Ye, masters of the Four Treasures, you are the main force for this operation. We will try our best to meet all needs, but there is one thing, I hope you two can temporarily hide your identities. In front of the expedition team, let alone mages..."

Cao Yu earnestly asked, "Because the members of the expedition team are experts in various fields, university professors, and almost all atheists, they not only do not believe in these strange things, but also reject them. If you know your occupation , I'm afraid I will regard you as magic sticks.

More importantly, the name of our operation is geological survey and archaeological research. If we let them know that we have hired two mages, the nature of the operation will be different, and it will not be good for our confidentiality work. "

Ye Shaoyang thought for a while, and it was indeed the case, and asked: "Then what are we talking about, and we don't know how to do archaeology."

"Let's just say that you are Feng Shui masters, and we invited you to find graves. Although they don't like this profession, it's better than saying that you are ghost hunters."

Sibao took it and said: "We have no problem, but there is one thing, if we encounter evil things, if they see them when we deal with them, then we don't blame us."

Cao Yu nodded and said, "Naturally, but you shouldn't encounter any ghosts before going down to the ancient tomb, right?"

"This can't be said for sure. Didn't your people encounter attacks in the stronghold before?" Ye Shaoyang thought of those people made of sand, and he didn't know what evil things they were. If he had the chance, he really wanted to meet them. Go up a few and get to know them.

You can’t turn on your cell phone on the plane. Cao Yu was afraid that they would be bored, so he brought a few copies of "National Geographic" magazine and distributed them to the two of them. The four treasures are very interesting because of the professional habits of Feng Shui masters, but Ye Shaoyang can’t do it. I kept dozing off, and it happened that the first-class seat was comfortable, so I fell asleep after lying down for a while.By the time I was woken up, the plane had already stopped.

Walking out of the plane, I feel that the temperature is a little lower than that in Shicheng, but after all, it is not yet October, so it is not too cold.Looking around, you can see blue sky and white clouds, and a wide field of vision, which shows that the air quality is much better than Shicheng.

After leaving the airport, Cao Yu took the two of them into a black car. The driver was a man in his thirties. He started the car immediately without asking any questions.

The car passed through Dunhuang County, and Ye Shaoyang looked all the way, and found that most of the buildings were similar to those in the mainland, except that there were many more pointed-style buildings, and a few people wrapped in turbans could be seen on the road, but most of them were still carrying bags. Mainlanders with cameras are all tourists who come here for fame.

"Dunhuang didn't have so many tourists in previous years," Cao Yu said, "I don't know if you usually pay attention to the Internet. There are rumors on the Internet that in order to protect cultural relics, Mogao Grottoes will be partially closed in a year. Many people are worried that there will be no chance in the future." I saw it, so I wanted to come and have a look.”

Sibao asked in surprise, "Really?"

"I don't know about this either. After all, I'm not in the same department, so it's impossible for me to inquire about it, but I haven't received any notification yet."

"Oh, then I really want to play when I come back. If it is really closed, I won't have another chance in the future."

Ye Shaoyang looked at Sibao and said, waiting for him to confirm, but Sibao sneered and said: "I won't be with you, unless you bring Leng Yu, the four of us together, otherwise it's no fun for you to be a light bulb, I'm doing this for you Think about it."

Chapter 1655 Gobi Desert 2

"Holy shit, you haven't succeeded yet, you're just so serious about sex and despise friends. If you succeed in the future, then you won't even know me!"

Cao Yu looked at Sibao with some surprise, and said, "Master...has a girlfriend?"

"What you said, I'm not ugly and shameless, I have a girlfriend, is it surprising?" Sibao said as he stroked his bald head, suddenly felt good, and smiled embarrassedly at Cao Yu .

Ye Shaoyang took the lead and said: "Don't be surprised, this is a monk Hua. He can do anything by eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and playing with women."

Sibao stepped on him immediately, and just about to explain, Cao Yu complimented him: "The master is also a man of temperament, playing in the world, admiring him."

The car stopped at the entrance of a hotel. When they got out of the car, Ye Shaoyang and Sibao saw a military truck parked by the side of the road. The cargo box was wrapped tightly with canvas, and the license plate was from Beijing.

"Mr. Cao, don't we want to take this car?" Ye Shaoyang asked.

"This is a supply vehicle, it belongs to us. Someone will drive to the base later. Let's go in that vehicle."

Following the direction Cao Yu pointed, the two saw another off-road vehicle parked at the other end of the hotel.

"Where is the base?" Ye Shaoyang asked.

"I'll explain to you two slowly on the way," Cao Yu smiled, "Do you want to rest here for a while before setting off?"

Both of them said no, they just went to the hotel to use the toilet, and then got into the car.

Cao Yu sat in the front, and Ye Shaoyang sat in the back. After getting in the car and waiting for a while, the driver did not come. Ye Shaoyang said, "Where is the driver?"

"Pack up your things in the room, and he will be there soon. By the way, the driver is from the Naxi nationality. When you see him, just call him the master. Don't call him the driver, because in their place, the driver drives the truck, and the master carries people. Call him the driver." Drivers feel disrespected, and it's their custom not to change pants in the car."

Ye Shaoyang nodded, but Sibao asked, "There are Naxi people in Xinjiang?"

Cao Yudao: "He is not from Xinjiang, but from Yunnan. His parents belonged to the Xinjiang Production Corps. He stayed here. Later, the young man worked in the salt mine here. Now that the salt mine has collapsed, he became a driver. Because the road is familiar, so we Ask him to be your guide."

Sibao asked about salt mines again, and Cao Yu explained that Lop Nur used to be a saltwater lake. After it dried up, a salt crust formed on the ground, and there were abundant potassium salts underground, so some salt mines were opened in the fringe areas, but as the environment gradually deteriorated, These salt mines are all closed.

Just as he was talking, a dark man in his 20s opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, smiled at the three of them, and drove straight away without saying anything.

Ye Shaoyang looked over, and saw that this young man was wearing work clothes, and his appearance was no different from that of Han people, except that his hair was longer, and he looked good, he was a simple and honest person.

On the way, Cao Yu told Ye Shaoyang and the two that the so-called "base" was a small town in the Gobi Desert called Kulunke, which belonged to Ruoqiang County where Lop Nur is located. It was originally a barren land in the desert. , The investigation of Lop Nur has become an upsurge, not only for the official, but also for folk archaeologists and explorers, as well as some foreign tourists who come here for their reputation. When entering Lop Nur from the east, they must pass through Kulunke.

Over time, this place has a certain scale, and some people have started business there, transporting materials from the mainland, and selling them to people who enter Lop Nur for expeditions or investigations, mainly food and clothing, and some expedition equipment, including rescue Serve.

The remaining members of the expedition team for this operation, those beasts, have already gathered at the "base", waiting for the two of them.

All the way to the west, after leaving the Yumen Pass, the scenery became more and more desolate, and the buildings and villages became less and less. Ye Shaoyang only found out after asking that this was considered to be entering the Gobi.

The Gobi Desert... Ye Shaoyang looked at the frontier scenery, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

Sibao said: "That's not right, isn't it sung in the song 'Gobi sandy beaches turn into fertile fields'? It hasn't turned into fertile fields here either, isn't it still a desert?"

Cao Yu said with a smile: "The song only talks about turning into fertile fields, but it doesn't say that the entire Gobi Desert has turned into fertile fields."

The car drove for an unknown amount of time at the edge of the desert. At first Ye Shaoyang and Sibao were interested in looking at the scenery, but later they were so tired that they fell asleep in a daze under the bumps of the car.

When he woke up, the sun had already set, Ye Shaoyang looked into the distance, there were some Uyghur villages before, but now there is nothing, only the wilderness, some abandoned buildings, some dead and dry trees, still standing on the parched earth.

Cao Yu took out compressed biscuits and beef jerky to fill their stomachs, and drove for several hours. When it was dark, he completely entered the desert, and the surroundings were completely dark. When he finally saw a bright light, Cao Yu told them that the road ahead That's the base.

When they got out of the car, Ye Shaoyang and Sibao were exhausted and hurt everywhere. They walked slowly around and observed. According to Cao Yu, this building was left by the former potash mine, and was later occupied by nearby villagers, who used it as a store to sell some things.

On the leeward open space behind a sand dune, many tents were set up in different colors and styles, and they did not look like a group of people.There are many cars parked nearby, all off-road.

When Ye Shaoyang and Sibao came to the row of building stalls, they saw that the vendors were all dressed as Uighurs, and most of them sold expedition equipment such as kettles and shovels, as well as some food.

There is really a need to buy and sell, both of them are a little emotional, they did not expect that there are traders in this wild place.

Cao Yu's assistant bought them some naan for them to try.This is a kind of Uighur food, similar to steamed buns, and then they are invited to enter the largest tent. An incandescent lamp is hung in the tent, and a knee-high square table is directly below it. Some blankets and bags are placed around it. .

"Mr. Ye, Master Four Treasures, the conditions here are a bit rough, don't be disgusted, please sit down for a while, I have already sent someone to invite experts from the expedition team, and we will meet up later and have a meal together."
