Feel underneath, soft and thin. With the eyes open, the large disc sun pierced the eyes strongly and quickly closed. The landing point this time was the same as last time, and it landed in the desert again. It seems that I really have a relationship with the desert, but I don't know if the age and location are the same.

I got up and checked whether my belongings were intact, and then glanced at the improved time-travel watch. Fortunately, the indicator light is green, indicating that everything is normal, and the group of scientists have no effort for five months. Drawing on the last lesson, solar energy is too unstable, so this time they switched to a sophisticated lithium battery.

After going back, of course, it caused a very big sensation. I disappeared for more than five months. The people in the research team are not sure whether I passed through successfully or died in a certain time and space. My boss was very worried about how to explain to my parents, until one afternoon I fell from the sky and hung on the big neck willow outside the research room, distorting most of its branches.

In the five months back to the 21st century, I was very busy. He checked his body, wrote a report, and followed his boss to Kuche, Xinjiang, for a month. The ruins of the ancient capital of Qizi, Yancheng, are located between the current Kuqa New Town and the Old City. The locals call it Piran Ancient City. I worked with a group of archaeologists to determine the ruins of the ancient tombs, the ruins of the palace, the monastery, the ruins of the congress hall, and interpret the spitting Luowen with the linguists in the museum.

When I wandered around these sites and looked at the farmland of the residential houses that were built on it, in addition to the foundations that were measured more than a thousand years ago, the others have long disappeared without a trace, and the mood is really difficult to describe. For me, what I saw just a few months ago is the vicissitudes of 1,650 years. People who were alive just a few months ago instantly became a few words on the paper. Standing on a humble hill bag nowadays, the warm voice still sounded from time to time:

"Ai Qing, take you to Guizi tomorrow."

"This year's heavy snow has fallen for so many days, it is really heaven to care for Guizi."

"Don't worry, close your eyes, just a moment."

Every time at this moment, I would look around suddenly, to be sure that the maroon-colored monk's clothing was only my illusion, and then slowly subsided. Rosh, should we be in the same space? It's just that we are separated by 1,650 years. How are you there? With a bitter smile, what is good and what is his fate, how can I not be clear?

I went to the Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves to investigate. There was a bronze statue of Roche in front of the grottoes. I looked at it for a long time. This statue shows his appearance between 30 and 40 years old. Bend your knees on one leg and place your right hand on your knee. Wearing a half-shouldered turtle-shaped monk's clothes, she is slender and thin, wise and open-minded between her brows. Although not as handsome as the real Roche, I think the sculptor has mastered his charm. I haven't seen what Rosh looks like as an adult, but staring at this sculpture makes me think about it. I took a group photo under the bronze statue. When I was writing a thesis until midnight, I looked at this photo when I was tired. I wish I could see him again.

I also saw a female bone in the Kuzi Museum in Kuqa. The Subash ruins were unearthed, about 1,300 years ago. The skull, like the grandmother and the tortoise family I have seen, also has traces of flattening. In fact, the flat head is not not beautiful, but just does not conform to our aesthetics. At least, in my eyes, the senior woman is an uncompromising beauty. Tutankhamen, the eighteen dynasty of ancient Egypt, also had a flat head, a restored head, and a portrait on the funerary in his tomb, all showing that the flat-headed 18-year-old pharaoh was a handsome boy.

It was originally decided that I would meet with Buddhist experts who studied Kumarajiva after finishing work in Kuqa. Although I have only been in contact with him for a very short period of time as a teenager, it is first-hand information anyway, and the experts are extremely eager to talk to me in detail. But the boss received a call from the research team. So we hurried back to the research room and began to prepare for the second, in fact the fourth crossing.

And this time through, the machine has been improved, and my feeling of driving the fog is not as uncomfortable as the previous few times. But I am still not sure where and in what age I will land, I can only estimate it is still about two thousand years. And this is calculated based on plus or minus 500 years. Therefore, the span can be from the end of the Warring States period to the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In view of the last experience, I still wear a generous Han suit. This is the most popular dress with the largest time span.

Looking at the current situation, it is estimated that the crossing again resonated with the previous space-time location. I have a strong feeling that Hu Hansan is back! So don't panic, first judge how to get out of the desert or find people. Looking around, it turned out that I fell on the edge of the desert, next to the Populus euphratica forest and the small red willow bushes. The distance of the Populus euphratica forest looked more dense, and I decided to go there.

It was already the end of May in the Gregorian calendar, and the noon in the desert was too hot to breathe, so it was urgent to find water. Since there is a large area of ​​Populus euphratica here, it should be not far from the water source. So when an open lake suddenly appeared in front of me, I was overwhelmed with excitement.

It is a very large lake. I dare not imagine that such a large lake will appear in the desert. And the most important thing is: there are people by the lake, and a group of people! Of course I was happy to see the same kind, so I ran to them. Before I approached, I suddenly braked abruptly. The first thing I did was to rush back and run. Without running a few steps, an arrow nailed to my feet, and I was so frightened that I stopped and quickly raised my hands over the top: "Don't shoot me, I will surrender!"

I was taken among the group of people, a total of more than twenty people, looking at the looks, one by one, the melons and jujubes are fierce and evil, and they are really gangsters. Ten more people crouched on the ground, their hands and feet were tied, trembling, peeping at me with pity, they should be Persians. There are more than a dozen camels carrying heavy objects beside them, and they are still eating grass carelessly. I quickly judged that this was a caravan and was robbed.

But at least it shows that my landing point is not far from the Silk Road. The book says that robbers are rampant on the Silk Road. I actually experienced it myself. I've never touched someone before. Do I have to use modern weapons for the first time? There is a small anesthesia gun in my tight pocket of my radiation-proof suit. The boss told me that it is a last resort. Don’t take it out. After all, it’s a modern thing. It’s okay to scare the ancients. If it changes history, then I will be guilty of it.

I heard the thieves speak in bad faith, they speak the familiar Tharro language, just with some dialects, not the accent.

I keep turning my head, how to save myself. I didn’t have Xuanzang’s ability to let the thieves put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas, so I estimated the situation between the enemy and us and decided to capture the thief first. (Xuan Zang encountered several thieves during his journey to the west, and he was really lucky. It wasn't the robber who was infighting himself, or he had turned the robber out. For details, see Qian Wenzhong's Xuan Zang's Journey to the West.)

He reached into his arms and touched the small gun. Fortunately, they saw me as a weak woman and didn't bind me like those Persians. He smiled sweetly at the beard sitting on the carpet nibbling the barbecue. He leaned over and shouted in a spitting tone: "King..." He was trembling, shaking off goose bumps first.

He extended a greasy hand to me with a smile, and I stepped forward to pour into his arms, suddenly pulled out a gun and shot him. Sure enough, it was a strengthened anesthesia needle, and he fell to the ground immediately without any response. While he was stunned, he quickly knocked down the five people who were closest to me and shouted violently in his mouth: "Put down the weapon and spare you not to die." As if it was not strong enough, I hurriedly shouted again: "I'm so bloody. Poison, come up and try it if you are not afraid of death!"

I was probably scared by my advanced modern weapons, and the remaining dozen thieves stared blankly at the few people who fell to the ground. I am actually a bluff. This anesthesia gun is too small and has a range of less than five meters. So when I saw that the thieves really put down their bows, swords, swords, and so on, I secretly exhaled, and the cold sweat behind them drenched the clothes. I quickly rushed over to solve the few businessmen, tied too tight, I had to take out the Swiss army knife and cut the rope.

I don't need to do the next thing. The remaining thieves saw that I had such a vicious weapon, and now a group of Persians chased with a knife in the back, and ran for a long time. Those Persians thank me with the most solemn etiquette. One of them understands Chinese, and the other speaks Tyrannosaurus. Although they do not speak well, but the two languages ​​are mixed, and with some physical movements, they can understand pretty close.

I took out the map book and asked them to identify it for me. My map is not a general map. It is basically based on the geographical situation of the Han Dynasty that has been going up and down for 500 years. Turn to the page of the Western Regions and let them recognize the direction. Because it was Chinese, they looked at it for a long time, and finally pointed out that our approximate location was near Luntai.

I looked closely at the map. It turned out that I fell on the edge of the Taklimakan Desert. In the extremely dry Taklimakan Desert, there can be such a large piece of water grass, which should be the Caohu water town of Luntai. This is where the ancient Rob people lived, and they lived on Caohu for fishing.

I looked up and saw that there were no villages around, it was estimated to be on the other side of Caohu. However, it is difficult to say that the thieves are Rob. Luntai is only about 80 kilometers away from Guizi. According to the speed of the camel, it is generally 20 to 30 kilometers per day, so I can get to Guizi in up to four days.

Guizi, alas, when I thought of Guizi, I couldn't help but my heartbeat accelerated, and the slender figure was always shaking before my eyes. I don't know how old he is now. Ask the specific age of the Persians, they can only provide me with a few information:

1. The Central Plains dynasty is still the pre-Qin of Fujian (the Persians cannot tell the year)

2. King Guizi is still Bai Chun (Persians can only say that Bai Chun is about forty years old)

3. I have only heard that Kumarajiva is a very famous monk (because the Persians believe in XIAN, or Zoroastrianism, so I can’t tell the famous Buddhist monk Kumarajiva), what age? About twenty or thirty years old.

4. They have already passed through Guizi and now go to Chang'an. Since I am a life-saving benefactor, they are willing to accompany me back to Guizi and start the journey again for the safety of the journey.

I'm not thinking of going to Chang'an. I guess the boss will definitely let me go to Chang'an with them. I can also take a look at the Silk Road during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. However, under my heart, a small voice kept encouraging me: go, go and see him. How will Jumorosh appear as an adult? If I can see it for myself, my research adds another meaning. Besides, I promised that Vrsati will definitely go back. Since fate has arranged me to come again, I can't say anything.

We hurriedly fetched the water and hurried, fearing that the thieves would return. Those who fell to the ground, sleep up to 24 hours, and wake up wondering if they will get revenge. Therefore, everyone hurried for a few more miles in fear. I took the opportunity to dial back Beijing time on the crossing watch for two hours and adjusted it to Xinjiang time.

Under the starry sky, we reached the campsite, a very small earthen city, where no one lived. According to the pronunciation of the Persians, it can be transliterated as "Tahanqi". This earth city looks a bit old, and the city wall is in disrepair, and some of it has collapsed. It looks very vicissitudes under the bright moonlight. There are farmland around and have already walked out of the Taklimakan Desert.

We camped against the wall, and the Persians enthusiastically set up a tent for me alone. The man who speaks Chinese tried to tell me that this place is related to the Han Dynasty. Because the communication was not so smooth, and then assisted with gestures, I finally understood a part. He wanted to tell me that the city was built by the Han people and was ordered by a brave general who fought like a god.

Chinese? Tenjin? General? I thought about it. Was it the city built by Ban Chao? The pronunciation of "Tahanqi" is similar to "Itqian", which may be due to the inaccurate pronunciation of the Persians. My heart jumped wildly. Qizitangan City, where Ban Chao was appointed as the governor of the Western Region, was still a mystery.

If it is here, then another historical mystery is solved.

In 73 A.D., Chao Chao took charge of the Northern Huns with Chadu Wei Dou Gu, doing civil work, and led a thirty-six envoy to Shanshan, but it kicked off his life in the Western Region.

In 81 AD, Ban Chao led the army of all the nations in the southern region of the Western Regions with 25,000 troops attacking Shache (now Shache in Xinjiang), and King Qizi dispatched 50,000 troops to aid him, but he got caught in Banchao and fled defeated. The Shache returned to Han, and the South Road of Silk Road passed through.

In 90 AD, the Yue Family (now India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan) attacked Shule (now Kashgar, Xinjiang) with 70,000 troops, and Ban Chao focused on the weaknesses of his thousand-mile laborers. The Yueshi Army will run out of food, send envoy to Guizi for help, and be banned by Ban Chao. Yue's surrender, Ban Chaoyun led his army to return to the country, Yue's restoration and Han Dynasty repaired.

In 91 AD, Guizi returned to Han Dynasty, and Ban Chao was officially granted the title of Western Region Capital and stationed in Guizi. He replaced the tortoise king Yulido established by the Huns, and supported the white tyrant who was once the servant of the Han dynasty (the hostages sent to the Han dynasty from all countries in the Western Regions, generally princes) to be the tortoise king. Qiuci ruled for more than 800 years, until the Uighurs called Khan.

In 94 AD, Ban Chao issued 70,000 soldiers from the Eight Kingdoms, including Qizi and Shanshan, to conquer the imperial imperial Yanqi, conquer the Yanqi King, protect the old city of Chen Mu in the murdered former predecessor, and decapitate Chen Mu's old city. Yuan Meng was the king of Yanqi, so more than fifty countries in the Western Region all bowed their heads. After Ban Chao completely eliminated the Xiongnu forces, he moved the Western Region's capital to its dry city. At this point, the North Silk Road was unblocked.

In 122 AD, the king of Guizi, Bai Ying, was vacillating in surrender and confrontation. Ban Yong, the son of Ban Chao, persuaded Gui Zi, Bai Yingnai led Gu Mo, and Wen Su lowered his rank. From then on, until the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Turtle Dynasty had been ordered by the Eastern Han Government.

I stared at the somewhat broken city wall under the moonlight, and the vicissitudes of the silhouette were speechless about how the brave father and son had been talking about two hundred and fifty years ago. In two hundred and fifty years, the former Western Region's capital was already desolate and uninhabited. By the 21st century, even these walls were nowhere to be found. In the night, I heard the Persians worship the fire, muttered in my mouth, and the incomprehensible Zoroastrian scriptures enveloped a layer of mystery in the wilderness. I felt a little sad.

In the period of the Wuhu and the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Central Plains was in chaos. You sang me on stage, no one cared about the Western Regions. Therefore, Guizi has long disobeyed the orders of the Central Plains royal family and colluded with the Tanhu of Central Asia in an attempt to dominate the Western Regions, causing dissatisfaction with other Western Regions. Fu Jian took reunification as a major task, and was also guided by King Shan Shan and the front king of the car division, making Lu Guang go westward. Bai Chun borrowed from Hu Jun to add 700,000 people to Lu Guang's 100,000 people. Bai Chun escaped without knowing where to go. Bai Zhen's younger brother Bai Zhen stood as the king of the tortoise. . Roche's fate has since changed...

I don’t know why, when I think of this, my heart is a little bit painful...
