"What did you find?"

Li Dakui asked as soon as they got out of the car.

The people in charge of the reception were the people from the archaeological institute in the county, but they seemed to have little understanding of it. They just said that these things were a bit strange, so they notified the people at the museum.

Li Dakui went in to take a look.

Sure enough, there is a village all around, like a square, extending in all directions and very flat.

There are nearly hundreds of households of various sizes around.

"Has anything been dug up before?"

"No!"

"That's..."

Li Dakui saw that just around the foundation, he saw a body that was mostly submerged in water.

Like a person.

When I walked in, I saw that it was not a person, but a piece of wood standing there, as if it had been burned by fire.

"tombstone!"

Li Dakui said to himself.

"It doesn't look like that."

The person in charge of the reception said that they had explored the surrounding terrain and there was no way there was a cemetery, as if this thing appeared for no reason.

"Boom!"

Li Dakui knocked on the half piece of wood, and it seemed that it was hollow inside.

"Open."

Li Dakui shouted.

The few people then carefully opened the wood, and there was indeed something else inside.

I saw that there seemed to be a sandwich inside the wood.

It's Jinshu.

This thing actually emitted a burst of colorful light. Obviously the wood was a protective layer. I didn't expect that this thing still maintained its original appearance after being soaked in water. I had to admire the wisdom of the original people.

"What?"

Everyone came together to watch.

I saw some words written densely on the brocade book. Li Dakui only knew the contents after reading it.

It turns out that the content says that this is a secret guarded by the Gu family. One of their ancestors was the one who guarded Xuanzang's journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, that is, a disciple who followed him on his journey to the west.

The content is all about his experiences.

The ancestor seems to be a barbarian and a businessman.

But naturally there is no secret in this content, but a key is left behind.

The key is like a jade pendant.

Caught in the brocade book.

"Is it the same as this jade pendant?"

I asked quickly.

Li Dakui nodded.

"The content also said that their four disciples all received a jade pendant from Xuanzang, which recorded what he wanted to express. Because the matter was so important, they parted in a hurry."

And let future generations keep this secret for generations to come and pass it on.

An ancestor of a family with the ancient surname in that village retained one of the jade pendants.

"That means we now have two pieces."

I asked, "There are two more..."

"Yes, as long as we find the other two jade pendants, we may be able to know the secret."

Li Dakui said seriously.

"But where are we going to find it?"

I sighed.

"There must be a way."

Li Dakui asked me at this time if I had brought the book.

I handed it to him, but he looked at it for a long time and found nothing, looking confused.

"Maybe the time hasn't come yet."

Li Dakui stared out of the window.

A few days later, I was discharged from the hospital in a daze, just as I had been when I came in. However, by the time I returned to the courtyard, most of the people had moved away. They said that after the old man died, strange things happened one after another. He even heard someone crying and laughing at night, and it was Uncle Li's voice.

So there aren't many tenants around here anymore.

Obviously, Uncle Li's ancestors probably kept this secret and owned one of the jade pendants.

That's why he told me before he died.

Maybe they were originally intended to be left to future generations, but I didn't expect that they were all unfilial sons.

It's quite pitiful when you think about it.

We stayed one night and nothing weird happened.

The next day, Li Dakui seemed to receive a very strange message.

"What's wrong?"

I asked him.

It took him a long time to answer, saying something was wrong.

It turned out that the superiors received an order saying that a batch of smuggled cultural relics would be traded in one place, and it was almost spread throughout the circle that they would be traded in a week.

"Where?"

I asked.

"It hasn't been investigated yet."

Li Dakui seemed a little uneasy.

"I always feel a little weird."

he said to himself.

But three days later, there was finally news.

"I know where that place is." Li Dakui said to me, "It seems like this is going to be a very difficult journey. How about it, brother? Do you want to go and see it?"

"where?"

"Guilongmen!"

Li Dakui suddenly blurted out.

"What?"

When I heard this name, I got goosebumps all over my body.

It was in the hinterland of the northwest desert, the core area at the junction of the three major deserts, along the western section of the Silk Road, and that section of the ancient Silk Road had been buried in the desert for hundreds of years.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, this place had already become a core area for customs clearance.

During the Yuan Dynasty, due to wars and sandstorms, this place was buried underground in the desert and was unknown.
