The capital of Guizhou is Guiyang, which is also the first stop of our trip to Guizhou, after which we will say goodbye to the train and go on a car journey. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There's another reason why we chose to renovate here, and that's because it's also our last big supply point.

According to the arrangement of the "expedition leader" Lin Shaosong, in addition to the professional metal and space exploration equipment brought from the north, we also have to buy ropes, off-road vehicles, food and explosives that we need here temporarily, and we can continue on the road after about two days.

During this period, I asked Lin Shaosong and said that the terrain in the northwest of Guizhou is complicated, with many mountains and few roads, so we don't need to ask a guide to help us.

Facing my questioning, Lin Shaosong shook his head a little conceitedly.

He patted his laptop and radio equipment and said that he has the most advanced electronic equipment, which can be linked to a powerful electronic query and search system, satellite positioning at any time, and with the newly bought off-road vehicle, professionals such as Golden Fleece, there is no need to worry about getting lost.

As for the contact with the locals, Lin Shaosong took out a bunch of credit cards and coins and said, "Money! It's the best guide, and if there are any follow-up problems, they will help us settle them. ”

Lin Shaosong's words are full of conceit, but I don't want to argue anything, anyway, he should be a "pioneer", and it will be he who will suffer when the time comes.

And Momiji also said that his money ...... No flowers, no flowers.

In this way, after we carried out appropriate repairs, early in the morning of the third day, a group of seven people, divided into three brand new four-wheel drive off-road vehicles, drove all the way out of the mountains of Guiyang, to the uninhabited mountains in the northwest of Guiyang.

During this period, Lin Shaosong carefully told me about several key nodes of his plan.

In the process of searching for Grandpa Momiji, the most important thing is to locate the only place name specifically mentioned in the 74 Project archives, "Yaowang Temple".

Lin Shaosong told me that Yaowang Temple is very common in Han gathering places, but it is very rare in Guizhou, because Yaowang mostly refers to Emperor Yan, Bian Que or Sun Simiao, and these are the gods of the Han land, and the mountains in the northwest of Guizhou are mostly Miao and Dong gathering areas, and rarely worship the gods of the Han land.

While speaking, Lin Shaosong opened his laptop and displayed the results of his query in front of me and Xian Hongye.

He said to the computer that according to his previous research, he found that there are only no more than 5 Yaowang temples in the northwest of Guizhou, three of which are located in local urban areas, which must have nothing to do with the 74 project, and one is located in the Li nationality gathering area, but unfortunately it was demolished as the four old ones at the beginning of the 10-year catastrophe, so it does not correspond to the time node of the start of the 74 project.

After the elimination method, there is only one Yaowang Temple located in the Xishui area of Zunyi in northwest Guizhou, a place called "Da Lou Mountain Furong Chuan Blood Rong Village".

Speaking of this Xuerong Village, Lin Shaosong also told us excitedly: "My friends in Guizhou have checked the local chronicles, the Yaowang Temple of Xuerong Village is very interesting, it was originally an altar of Miao people, and it was rebuilt as Yaowang Temple in the Ming Dynasty, and according to the memories of the locals, in the sixties and seventies, there was indeed a group of engineering troops here, and after the troops came here to repair, they went deeper into the mountains. ”

After listening to Lin Shaosong's words, Xian Hongye suddenly said: "Ming Dynasty...... That was the second time when King Su and Miao Jiang Goddess Hua appeared, the troops in the fifties and sixties...... It also corresponds to the time of my grandfather's disappearance. ”

"And that's not all!" Lin Shaosong said this, and explained even more proudly to Hongye: "I checked the records of an American expedition in the 20s, and those people said that Xuerong Village also has records and legends similar to the goddess of Miaojiang who subdued the demon king with magic flowers. ”

As he spoke, Lin Shaosong found a photocopy of the American expedition record he had found from his computer.

I have to say that in this matter, Lin Shaosong's ability is very good, and his ability to use a computer also opened my eyes.

The photocopied documents he found were very neat, and in addition to notebooks and plans, there were also photographs and specimens taken by the American expedition that year.

Seeing these precious files, I suddenly knew that this guy didn't act as a local guide, and he had the confidence to do so.

At this time, Hyun Hongye stared at the documents carefully and quickly translated us, and to her and our excitement, the Americans also mentioned the story of the Skeleton Demon Flower and the Demon City.

According to the case, the expedition in the twenties was organized by the "American Exploration Federation" and supported by the Beiyang government and the local Tusi, and the target of the expedition was the biological and folklore conditions in the mountainous areas of northwest Guizhou, and the man who led the expedition was a second-rate British aristocrat named Joanson.

However, Hyun Momiji changed his mind and told us that this Jonson was very unlucky, and died in the middle of the expedition, and that it was his deputy who completed the expedition.

Regarding Jonson's bizarre death, this American file has also been recorded in great detail, and Momiji has translated it for us word for word.

It is said that Jon's initial expedition and investigation went well, but the second-rate aristocrat was not satisfied with his discovery, and always felt that these things and specimens had been recorded before, and there was no breakthrough discovery.

Subsequently, he, like Xian Hongye's grandfather Xianyundu, also overheard bizarre stories about "Miao Jiang Goddess Flower" and "Heilan Bo City".

Jon Eun-hoon is barely a botanist, and he is not interested in those bizarre stories at all, except for the skeletal demon flower that grows on the attached stone mentioned in the story.

In the end, despite the objections of the guide, this cargo took a team of mules and seven porters, formed an expedition detachment alone, and went to the depths of the Furong River in Da Lou Mountain.

And the place where they set off also happened to be the Yaowang Temple in the Ming Dynasty.

After Jonson's departure, his deputy took over the leadership. According to their agreement, the deputy will take the rest of the baggage and personnel to continue repairing at the Yaowang Temple, and when Joenson returns, the two sides will meet, go north into Sichuan, and then end the expedition and make a ship to return to the United States.

But the deputy waited for three days, according to Jonson's orders, but did not wait for Jonson's triumphant return.

In the end, the deputy was in a hurry.

On the fifth day, the expedition's lieutenant had enough ammunition and rifles to set out with two guides on a search for Jonson.

In the process, the deputy learned the lesson of Joe's disappearance, and he told his men that they would only search for three days and three nights, and that if they couldn't find anyone, they would immediately turn back and never repeat Joe's mistakes.

But what the deputy of the expedition team never expected was that this search and rescue trip, which was originally a wrecked ship, had an unexpected gain on the first day alone.
