I said, "Then the stone we dug out of the third eye of the female corpse could be the real mending stone?" Chen Yun looked at me and said, "I don't know about this, didn't that stone fall into Professor Yang's hands in the end?" As soon as he died, the stone disappeared with him. ”

Hearing this, I was silent, I never thought that all the tombs we had been down could be connected together, going around and around, and I couldn't get around that circle.

Could this so-called "mending stone" really be the myth and legend that Nuwa used to sacrifice to mend the sky, if the mending stone is real, then doesn't Nuwa really exist?

I began to feel a little bigger, rubbed my temples, and said, "The question now is, among the answers given by Professor He, there is only about the general location of the ancient Yelang Palace, the Lancang River is nearly 5,000 kilometers long, and the length of the country has reached 2,000 kilometers, flowing through Qinghai, Tibet and Yunnan provinces, leaving Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, becoming the boundary river between Laos and Myanmar, such a long river, where should we look?" ”

Ge Zhuang couldn't help but speak, saying that there are 2,000 kilometers in China alone, known as the longest river in Southeast Asia, if we look all the way along the river port, let alone us, I am afraid that the grandson's generation will not be able to find it.

Chen Yun said that it is naturally impossible to find the whole territory along the river, and the more concentrated location should be near Mengla County, so our next goal is to focus on that area.

I said that this place in Mengla County is not a good place, not to mention the border with neighboring countries, there are 26 ethnic minority compatriots gathered together, if it is only the Dai and Yi ethnic minorities who treat the Han people more kindly, it is easy to say that they have a good deal, but I am afraid that we will meet the Miao Jiang gang of Gu players, and we may not be able to come back with good hands and feet.

Since ancient times, Miao Xinjiang is sinister, which has been known to people thousands of years ago, although if it is unification today, the grandfather has opened up a very vast territory, but the minority brothers who live in Miao Xinjiang may not be of the same heart as the Han people.

Mysterious Miaojiang, thousand-year-old village, sounds poetic, just through conjecture, ordinary people may think that this place is good, but the local aborigines may not think so, ethnic minorities have their own culture and customs, and do not accept visits from outsiders, rashly approaching often leads to fire, I heard that there are many quaint villages nearby, people maintain the living habits of ancient clans and tribes, and they are still drilling wood to make fire.

Ge Zhuang said, Little pumpkin, are you afraid? I'm afraid of a hammer, what's there to worry about, no matter how powerful these savages are, they can still grab our guns, and besides, we used to look for the ruins of Gu Yelang, and we didn't deal with the locals, so the good people can still jump out and bite you? There are no cannibal tribes in China.

I said fat, you can't say that, eat a trench and grow wise, haven't we suffered enough losses before? We must learn to look at problems from a strategic perspective, and besides, who is Lao Tzu afraid of?

Chen Yun interrupted us, "Okay, you two quarrel individually, since the place recorded in Professor He's record book is in southern Xinjiang, then let's take a short rest and set off, I also want to remind you that we did not get organizational support for this operation, and it was completely spontaneous, so after entering Miaojiang, we could not obtain the cooperation of the local government and government, and we could only rely on ourselves, understand?" ”

Ge Zhuang didn't know if he could, so he stood up and said, "Big sister, in such a remote place as Miao Jiang, you may not be able to afford the tools you need to go to the tomb, the fat man suggested that we should still use local materials, and now we will buy the equipment that may need to be used locally, is this money from you or us?" ”

Chen Yun said that you can rest assured that the archaeological work is not for life, there will be material security, let Xiaozhang rest first, we can wait for Brother Zhong while buying the equipment needed for the tomb.

This set of equipment is not simple, in addition to the old traditional inverted bucket craft to make their own tools, but also need to use a sapper shovel, wolf's eye flashlight, tactical compass, *, diving watch, gas mask, waterproof matches, mountaineering helmets, headlights, cold fireworks, lighting flares, solid fuel, sleeping bags, filter water bottles, binoculars, thermometers, barometers, first aid kits, various rope safety bolts...... And so on and so forth.

Grandpa Mao said it well, revolution is not a dinner party, not a fuss, not a painting and embroidery, it can't be so elegant, so calm, courteous, so gentle and courteous. Revolution requires bloodshed and sacrifice, and Ge Zhuang and I have always been the vanguard of the team, and this glorious and mission-filled work fell on us and it was not easy.

Of course, the biggest difficulty comes from Ge Zhuang's "grandfather", as long as the RMB is guaranteed to be in place, there is nothing that cannot be collected, and in the next two days, Ge Zhuang and I went to the comprehensive market to find the guys who need to use them, and some things are not sold in the market, so we can only let Chen Yuntuo have a relationship and go to the organization to be seconded.

Ge Zhuang and I wandered around the comprehensive market for two or three days in a row, and only then did we reluctantly buy everything, and we also spent a lot of money at an old man's house on the outskirts of the city to collect two shotguns.

The shotgun is homemade by farmers, there is no aim, it is light in the hand, it can only be filled with sand bullets, the range is about 30 meters to the limit, it is lightweight, and anyone can use it in their hands.

Ge Zhuang was very dissatisfied with this thing, and kept clamoring for Chen Yun to have a relationship, and then get two real rifles to play, Chen Yun said Fatty, you are so good at being a firearm? It's reported again, and it's been approved at all levels, and we didn't show support from the organization for this operation, where can I get you a gun?

After all, firearms are contraband, and after getting our hands on them, Ge Zhuang and I disassembled all the parts on them and divided them into several bags to prevent them from being checked out, which would only add to the trouble.

On the third day, Lao Zhong arrived as promised, first went to the mutton restaurant to have a meal, everyone was full of wine and food, and returned to the hotel to rest, and the next morning embarked on the train to Yunnan.

Fully prepared in advance, we bought a sleeper ticket, five people just wrapped a compartment, often outside the business travel people should understand, the sleeper car generally has six beds, five of us bought a total of two tickets, sound a bed, specially used to rest luggage, in the rumbling train iron sound, it took about two days, to arrive in Kunming smoothly.

There is no direct train to Mengla County, so we can only get off in Kunming first, transfer to a local inter-provincial shuttle, come to Xishuangbanna, and spend money to rent an off-road vehicle, the first stop is a small city called "Naikang".

This is a long way to go, wind and rain, a few of us try to carry as much luggage as possible, in addition to the necessary inverted bucket tools, we also have to leave the backpack, as much as possible to prepare some medicines.

You have to know what is the most terrible thing in Miaojiang? The number one enemy is the snakes, insects, rats and ants born in nature, I have always heard people say that Miao Jiang is dangerous, the poisonous miasma is very deep, and the snakes and insects nests all over the mountains are even more terrifying, so antidote drugs and antibiotics are also necessary.
