Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Just as Chang Zhengyang expected, that night, Shen Qianwen learned that he had an immortal body and took the initiative to unlock eighteen postures, which made him very excited.

Later, when they were being intimate, Chang Zhengyang told Shen Qianwen in a nonchalant tone that he was going to go to the Queen Mother of the West Palace to confirm the specific situation of the snake mother.

Shen Qianwen actually acted as if she didn't care!

What’s even more infuriating is that the next morning when we had breakfast, the nourishing soup that my wife used to prepare with love was gone!

When I asked her why she had lost her essence, she actually said that you couldn't squeeze it dry anymore, so why should you replenish it? There is no need to replenish it!

So in the chilly autumn wind, Chang Zhengyang, feeling grief and indignation that his wife did not love him, set out on the journey to the Palace of the Queen Mother of the West.

The Palace of Queen Mother of the West is located on the northwest edge of the Taklimakan Desert, on the eastern foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Starting from September, the Taklimakan Desert enters the windless season. Although the temperature is low at this time, the Taklimakan Desert is the safest.

Chang Zhengyang got off the train and looked up at the cloudless blue sky. The boredom of sitting on the train for several days was instantly swept away.

"Then I have to rely on my own legs to walk."

If the helicopter wasn't too conspicuous, Chang Zhengyang would rather take a helicopter to the Queen Mother Palace. It was just a helicopter for transportation, not an armed helicopter. With the small treasury of the 404th Bureau, he could go to France and buy ten or eight civilian helicopters, so that he wouldn't have to worry about night fishing.

Chang Zhengyang shook his head, put on a specially made backpack that was half a person's height, and walked out of the station under the astonished gazes of his fellow passengers.

Just think of it as a hiking tour!

After leaving the train station and walking towards the outside of the city, you can still see rows of poplar trees at first. When you are ten miles outside the city, you can only see some scattered poplar trees. After walking another ten miles, you can't even see trees. All you can see are bushes.

This is the characteristic of cities in the Northwest region. Except for a few, most of the towns here are basically surrounded by wind and sand.

From bushes to Gobi desert, and then to a barren desert with no grass at all, after only walking about ten miles, Chang Zhengyang had already entered the desert.

When you first walk into the desert, all you see is fine golden sand. Sand dunes one after another sparkle in the bright sunlight, stretching into the distance. Your heart is immediately opened.

Green mountains and clear waters will make you feel bored if you see them too much, let alone the monotonous desert.

Chang Zhengyang walked forward silently, leaving footprints behind him.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large. Once it gets dark, and it is July now, the temperature at night drops to more than ten degrees below zero.

Chang Zhengyang paid great attention to picking up dry firewood along the way, so when night fell, he found a sand pit sheltered from the wind, started to make a fire and cook, and then set up a tent.

This time he came to the Queen Mother Palace

There is no rush, so you should rest after dark.

Sitting alone in an uninhabited desert, roasting a campfire and looking up at the starry sky is actually a very meaningful experience.

Chang Zhengyang lay down comfortably, his hands resting on his head, counting the stars in the night sky, his mind completely empty.

He hadn't felt this completely relaxed for many years.

He began to understand a little bit how the middle-aged man felt sitting alone by the river fishing at night.

Although he has no pressure in life and has a happy family, he sometimes wonders what it would feel like if he were alone.

It’s probably about the same as it is now!

Although Chang Zhengyang tried his best to slow down, he still arrived outside the Devil City two days later.

This place used to be the border of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West. Judging from the topography of the Devil City, this place was surrounded by rivers three thousand years ago.

After many changes, now there is only yellow sand and numerous strange-shaped boulders.

The magnetic field of these huge rocks can interfere with human perception. When ordinary people enter, it is like entering a large maze. If they are unlucky, they will basically be trapped to death here.

Chang Zhengyang walked in the Devil City and could occasionally see dried corpses buried by sand.

Some of these mummies are very old, and their clothes have been worn away and their origins cannot be identified at all.

Some of the mummies died not too long ago. Judging from the things around them that have not yet rotted away, the people who were trapped and died here were basically tomb robbers.

"Hey, this looks like a ghost lady?"

Chang Zhengyang squatted down, examined the mummy at his feet, and a sneer soon appeared on his face.

This is indeed the corpse of the Ghost Lady. Judging from the degree of decay of the items on this guy, he has been dead for about fifty years.

Chang Zhengyang got an idea and searched the area nearby again, and sure enough, he found the bodies of several more ghost ladies.

Now it can be confirmed that these ghost ladies are the so-called explorers, well, or we should call them tomb robbers.

This situation began in the late 19th century, when a large number of so-called explorers entered China, under the guise of conducting archaeological missions, but in reality they were plundering China's cultural treasures.

In fact, the most hateful ones are not the robbers outside, but the thieves within the family. If there were no such robbers working together from inside and outside, it would not have been so easy for those robbers to steal so many treasures of China!

"It's bad luck that you have to die on Chinese soil. It's a good thing for you."

After Chang Zhengyang kicked a dried corpse away, he continued to walk deeper into the Devil City. About fifteen minutes later, he finally saw the funeral ship.

According to the last investigation by Black Glasses and his team, the person buried in this funeral ship should be a great general of the Kingdom of Queen Mother of the West.

There was nothing else in the boat except the general's coffin and some sacrificial offerings.

As for the general, Black Glasses noted in the file that the general had already turned into a bloody corpse. Her coffin was placed here, probably to guard this place, so there was no point in opening the coffin. They should respect the dead and not disturb the dead's peace...

"You blind idiot, the point is that you have no money!"

Chang Zhengyang walked down from the funeral boat. He had just had a friendly exchange of views with the female general in the coffin. Both sides reserved their own opinions and reiterated their respective positions.

"Since we're here, it's not too much to take a souvenir, right?"

Chang Zhengyang stopped at the bottom of the boat, bent down to pick up a pottery jar on the ground, opened it and took a look at the dried bones inside.

"It is indeed the skeleton of a baby. Alas, it is a human sacrifice. In this case, you should go to where you should go."

Chang Zhengyang dropped the pottery jar, casually grabbed a corpse beetle king that flew out of it, turned around and walked into the funeral boat again, and came to the coffin again.

Coo, coo (What are you doing back again?)

"I'm here to help you get out of this situation. Look, you lie in this coffin all day long, and it's hard for you to even turn over. It's so uncomfortable. I'm a soft-hearted person, and I just can't bear to see others suffer. You probably haven't seen the sun for a long time. Come on, I'll take you to see the sun in the new society..."

Gu Gua, Gu Gua (What are you doing? Stop it, stop it now...)
