In the desert, as the yellow sand around us fell, not far in front of us, there was a wall in front of us, about ten meters high, and there was no enclosure on all sides. Only the city gate was knocked open at this time, and the bronze carriage disappeared inside.

The old professor suddenly jumped out of the car in panic, and then stroked the wall with both hands. The whole person seemed very excited, leaning on the wall, tears streaming down his face.

"Hahaha..."

When he opened his mouth, it was almost full of sand.

I looked up and saw a stone tablet hanging on the wall, with Guazhou written on it!

The scene thousands of years ago seemed to be slowly opening up. The surrounding walls had already been riddled with holes and sand everywhere. No one thought that after a thousand years, there would be a time to see the sun again. The road in front of us is the Silk Road that has been through thousands of years. Many merchants and wars have walked on this road in ancient times.

Because this road has almost changed the entire process of Eastern and Western civilization.

But now, that road has long been submerged in the sea of ​​sand, buried in this barren land along with wars, migrations, and sandstorms.

At this moment, I thought of the words on the stone tablet again.

It records the prosperity and decline of Guazhou at that time.

"Lin Yu, I always feel something is wrong."

Yan Jinger looked around carefully, then stared at the words on the city wall and said, "Look, according to my original understanding of the archaeology here, the ancient Guazhou city was recorded in historical materials because a big storm was buried under the yellow sand, so it almost blocked the entire Silk Road leading to the Central Plains, and was even blocked for a period of time."

"Is it because of that sandstorm?"

I asked.

Yan Jinger shook his head.

"No, it's not that simple. The environment of the Silk Road is harsh. Sandstorms and droughts can almost kill people at any time. This is known to everyone who walks on the Silk Road. They can overcome all conditions." Yan Jing said.

"What's wrong with that?"

"Outside Guazhou City, a hundred meters away, the terrain is precipitous, surrounded by barren mountains and steep ridges, easy to defend but difficult to attack." Looking around, it was indeed bare.

"Perhaps, with the passage of time, everything may change unexpectedly."

"Impossible...that bronze carriage!" His eyes were fixed on the big hole that was hit, and there seemed to be some fear on his face.

"That was a rebellious general of the Tang Dynasty!"

Yan Jinger said that he saw it from the inscriptions on the bronze carriage. Those inscriptions recorded the general's life achievements. The more horses there were, the higher the status was.

"It is said that it was General Mu Ya, who was originally a capable general of Yuan Qinhou, a general guarding Guazhou City. He was brave and good at fighting, and almost all his life was dedicated to this frontier, which ensured the peace and stability of the country in the Central Plains. At that time, the leaders of the northern ethnic minorities tried many times to capture the Guazhou fortress and further control the trade in the Central Plains to restrict the economy, but they failed."

Yan Jinger told an unknown history of the time.

"One of the generals outside the pass was called Ge Sangji. He was sinister and vicious. He secretly bribed Mu Ya, a subordinate of Yuanqin Hou, and promised him a huge reward of a thousand gold coins, as long as Mu Ya could find a way to let them attack Guazhou. Of course, the greedy Mu Ya agreed to this matter. That night, he gave the soul-loving drug, and the soldiers guarding the city were all knocked unconscious. In the middle of the night, Ge Sangji led his men to attack the city gate..."

"What made Mu Ya weird was that they did not kill any soldiers, but climbed up the city wall and smashed the strange stone tablet hanging on the wall. After that, these people left Guazhou."

"Then why didn't they just attack the city directly and control Guazhou?"

I asked.

"Because they have a better plan."

When Yan Jinger said this, cold sweat seeped out of the corners of his eyes.

"It was a very ordinary night, very cold, and the soldiers in Guazhou City had a very terrifying night. They never dreamed that the people who attacked Guazhou City were not human beings..." Yan Jinger stared at the dilapidated city wall and said word by word, "They were demons..."

I remembered the legend engraved on the tombstone. Could it be true?

"Your story is over. Let me tell you the ending." Mou Siren, who had been silent all the time, suddenly walked in front of us and stared at the city gate.

At this time, the eyes of several of us fell on him.

"The country in the Western Regions is good at snakes, insects and poisons. They finally used those poisons on the battlefield and broke through Guazhou City. What they didn't expect was that they were all monsters. They couldn't control the spread of these monsters at all. Legend has it that the only thing that can control these monsters is the stone tablet on the wall of Guazhou City, but it has been destroyed..."

"The monsters occupied Guazhou City, and it became like hell..." Mou Siren said, "Their next goal is to break through the Great Wall and occupy the Central Plains..."
