Chapter 64 Chapter 6 The Grand Canyon

We were thinking about all kinds of situations we encountered on the road, thinking about how difficult and remote Longyi Village is to find, but no one thought that the result would be that there would be no place to search.We even found an excuse to check with the relevant departments of the county government, but we really didn't find this village, not even a similar pronunciation. "Old man, don't you remember wrongly?" Albert asked helplessly. Seeing him like that, he seemed to want to leave immediately, because everyone was staring at him. Old man Liu didn't make a sound, and I was also very troubled. Logically speaking, even if old man Liu remembered wrongly, Xu Qianer would not be wrong.Who wants to die and say a wrong word to harm others?I had expected that this trip would not be easy, but I didn't expect to hit a snag before I got to the place.

However, we used the excuse that we are ethnologists and old man Liu entrusted friends with fake documents, so we finally found materials from various places in Guanling County in the county government archives.Of course, Albert and Xu Shaode are waiting outside, and they will easily expose us as liars when they come in. The archives room is small, but the few documents are as thick as bricks and rich in information.While searching anxiously, a middle-aged man walked into the archives room.He said that his name was Chen Lin, and he was also here to check the information, saying that he was studying Guanling's "Hongya Tianshu".This Red Cliff Heavenly Book is famous in Guanling, even the whole country, and anyone who knows a little bit about archaeology knows it.Because it has little to do with the story, I won't say much. The important thing is that this person helped us a lot later.He said he was in a hurry and wanted us to make way, but he was still in a hurry.We were originally false identities, so we were naturally embarrassed to compete with real scholars for our position, so we had to give up our position.

"What information are you looking for, I may be able to help you." Chen Lin said while searching. "Let's look for Longyi Village." I replied immediately. "Longyi Village, I seem to have heard from Director Zha that..." Chen Lin whispered. "Curator Cha...you are..." Old Man Liu answered, "It's not Cha Donglin, is it?" "Do you know our curator?" Chen Lin put down the materials in his hand and looked back at us. "That guy, don't say anything." Old man Liu said with a wry smile. "What kind of museum? What kind of museum are you? I don't think you look like a local." I asked curiously, seeing that this person is very knowledgeable, maybe he knows Longyi Village.

"I work in a museum in Beijing, and I came to Guizhou to look up the 'Hongya Tianshu'. I seem to have heard of the Longyi Village you are looking for." Chen Lin thought. I didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of interrupting Chen Lin's thoughts, old man Liu also fell silent. "Oh, I remembered. A few years ago, I came here to investigate the 'Hongya Tianshu'. I heard that a grand canyon called Jinzhu collapsed. They said that there was a dragon monument in that canyon, which pointed to a treasure. Whoever finds that treasure can be promoted and get rich. But then the canyon collapsed, and that matter was forgotten. Besides, that canyon is often haunted by ghosts." Chen Lin said.

"Haunted?" Old man Liu didn't quite believe it. When I heard the word "Longyi Monument", I thought that Longyi Village might be nearby, so I asked, "Then, is there anyone living in that canyon? Is there any village?" "Didn't I say that the canyon is haunted, who dares to live in it! In fact, no one knows if there are people living there, and no one wants to go there anyway, so no one knows if there is a village. If it wasn't for the collapse of the Grand Canyon There was a loud noise, and no one knew what happened there. After a long time, many people forgot about the Dragon Monument. Let alone the village, no wonder you couldn’t find it.” Chen Lin said.

"Then, since no one went there, how did they know there was a dragon monument there?" I asked suspiciously. "Oh, this is a local legend. I heard it was a long time ago. I don't know who spread it. I remember they said that during the Anti-Japanese War, a group of foreigners entered the Grand Canyon, saying it was a treasure hunt. But he didn't come out, and it is said that he was also killed by a ghost." Chen Lin said. "It's fake, thanks to the fact that you still study archaeology, there are no ghosts in the world." I don't really believe it.

"It's true!" A man suddenly walked into the reference room. He was dark and thin, dressed plainly, and looked fierce.He is the person who manages the archives room, and everyone calls him Lao Lin.As soon as he came in, he said: "Because the group of foreigners forced a person to take us in, and that person is my father!" "Ah... I'm sorry, just treat him as a fart." Seeing that I made a mistake, old man Liu quickly smoothed things over. Lao Lin seemed to admire his father very much, and he did not allow his father to be underestimated by others, so he took the initiative to explain how his father brought foreigners into the Grand Canyon.When the War of Resistance Against Japan broke out, a group of foreigners with European and American appearance came to Guanling, saying that they were looking for treasures and could speak a little Chinese.I don't know where they heard it, but they knew that there was a dragon monument here. As soon as they came to Guanling, they grabbed a local to lead the way and walked into the deep mountains.The local man who was taken away was Lao Lin's father, and his father never came back.

I believe what Lao Lin said, no matter how bastard a person is, it is impossible to make fun of his father, but there is also a group of foreigners coming in here. Could it be that they are the same group of foreigners from Meili Snow Mountain? "That's all I know, but I advise you not to go, it's dangerous." Chen Lin said with a frown. "It's exciting only if it's dangerous." I replied with a smile. "Haha, you really look like my son." Chen Lin also laughed. "Oh, Chen Jinwei, I haven't seen him for a long time, why didn't you bring him along?" Lao Lin asked.

"He's still young, so I'll leave it to the old Zou Gang to take care of him." After Chen Lin finished speaking, he remembered that he wanted to check the information, so he looked down at the information again. "Thank you, let's go first." After saying a few polite words, Old Man Liu and I withdrew. Xu Shaode and Albert waited anxiously, but they were very happy when they found out that we had heard the news.I thought that the scholar in the reference room would not deceive me. If so, how could Old Man Liu's sweetheart come from Longyi Village?Even ran to jump in line! ?

Old man Liu was very embarrassed about this question, he just said, this is a muddled account, let us stop asking.He emphasized that he did not lie, the woman did say that she was from Longyi Village.In fact, who rarely knows about his romantic past, what I think in my heart is, anyway, after knowing a little information, I will go to Jinzhu Canyon to see the situation first, and then make plans.While it was still early, we immediately entered the mountain. In Guanling County, Gangwu to Yunzhuang Liangzi is the watershed, with high mountains and deep valleys, forming many rivers and canyons.The famous ones are Huajiang Grand Canyon, Baling River Canyon, Bumudang River Canyon and Tapang River Canyon.The area around the Huajiang Grand Canyon used to be a number of filming spots for TV dramas, and Monk Tang Shousha was filmed there.

Jinzhu Canyon is in the southwest of Guanling, entering the mountains, and it takes about ten kilometers to get there.We left the county seat and headed southwest. Unfortunately, no one wanted to take me.When the drivers heard that it was Jinzhu Canyon, they all shook their heads, as if going there was going to the execution ground.We walked for a long time before entering the canyon. The peaks and forests here are like the sea, and the old and new trees grow together. There are basically no roads stepped on, and it is difficult to walk.Some places are very slippery, and if you accidentally fall, you will roll far away.I don't know if the scholar's description has caused us a psychological effect. We always feel that the green here is very uncomfortable.Although it is still winter, the green color here is very disproportionate, and the temperature is not low, a bit stuffy, as if when breathing, a lot of mucus is also sucked into the body. Although Xu Shaode usually likes to brag, he is timid. He heard the story Chen Lin told, and his heart beat up and down.Along the way, he kept saying that he saw a woman walking in the woods, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.I told him not to disturb the morale of the army. Who knows, even Albert said that he seemed to see a woman in the forest.Walking in the forest was very strenuous, climbing slopes and turning ditches. After a while, they even lost the strength to speak, and they never mentioned seeing anything they shouldn't have seen. When we walked, we all leaned together carefully, for fear that we would get lost if we were not careful. It's the same everywhere here. Who knows if we will encounter ghosts hitting the wall or something like that.While thinking about these things, we heard the sound of running water ahead.The scholar named Chen Lin said that there is an unnamed river passing through the Jinzhu Canyon, but since the canyon collapsed, the river has been blocked and a lake has formed in front of the canyon.As long as you find the nameless river, you can follow it to find Jinzhu Canyon. After we saw the river, we were very happy, thinking that we had finally found a little direction.This unnamed river is more than ten meters wide. Because Guizhou is a karst landform with a large drop, the river is so fast that even washing hands by the river is almost swept into the water by the river. That night we camped by the river. Eating in the wild really has a special taste, I think everything is delicious, as long as it is not shit.We discussed while eating, but the content was all about how to divide the wealth, which made me feel like I had become a capitalist. I came back from hunting a few hares in the forest. Everyone was immersed in the delicious food and forgot all the hard work of the day.When he was eating vigorously, who knew that the sound of a woman crying suddenly came out of the woods.I thought it was Xu Shaode farting while eating, so I said, "Hey, if you want to fart, run away, isn't it disgusting to you?" "You're the one who farts!" Xu Shaode could enter a state of ecstasy when eating, so he didn't notice any weird sounds. I went up and down in my heart, thinking, isn’t this the canyon yet, why did it start to be haunted? Could it be that the ghost felt lonely and no one entered the canyon to play with it, so it ran out?This ghost is too unruly! Just wondering, Xu Shaode, who was sitting across from me, squirted out the rabbit meat from his mouth, making my face all greasy and drool.Just about to scold Xu Shaode for not caring about food, he raised his hand, pointed behind me, and said, "Ghost, there is a ghost!"
