Professor Sun frowned: "I'm anxious too, but there is information that can be checked.
The only place and address that Captain Feng left in the army when he joined the army.
Later, he finally found his file, but his ancestral place was never found. " Only then did I understand that it seemed that this matter was indeed not easy.
The influx of bandits into Sichuan in the late Ming Dynasty and the wars in the late Qing Dynasty led to the migration of refugees, resulting in a large number of immigrants from Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei and other places.
Therefore, the place of origin address left in the file was not a seal.
The leader's ancestral home was several generations ago.
Unless someone close to him is found, no one would know the details.
I felt a chill in my heart, and asked Professor Sun again: "Then there is no hope of finding him."
Professor Sun said: "I have inquired in many places, and I just got some clues until noon today.
However," he took out an atlas of China that he had just bought, opened it and pointed it out to me: "Only in this mountain, the clouds I don’t know where I am.”
I looked carefully at the location he pointed to.
It turned out to be Wushan in the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River.
It has been said since ancient times that Wushan has clouds and rain in the morning and the Goddess Peak is hazy.
In ancient times, it was the fiefdom and mausoleum of Wu Xian, so it was called "Wushan" and it is still used. to date.
This place is covered with clouds and fog all year round, and the clouds and fog obscure the movement of the mountains, so Jin Xiaowei's "Wang" tactic is useless.
The specific location needs to be more precise.
I asked Professor Sun: "Wushan belongs to the middle The dragon branch has always been said in Qingwu Fengshui that a group of dragons have no leader, which is the most elusive.
This mountain is also affected by Wu Chuwen.
Within the scope of cultural influence, there are many ancient customs and legends.
Although it has been found that the ancestral home of Captain Feng is in Wushan County, the scope of this area is still too large.
Could it be that the specific town has not been investigated?
Don’t tell me what kind of village it is, Yun Shen Zhi Chu, his hometown town must have a place name.”
Professor Sun said with embarrassment: "I asked about the name of the town, it's called Qingxi Town, but this map is very detailed.
There are maps everywhere in Wushan County, big and small, but I can't find anything named Qingxi Town.
The place where the town is, that’s why it’s said to be only in this mountain, nowhere to be found in the depths of the clouds.”
I heard from Mr.
Sun Jiuye that "Qingxi Town" was not included in the map of Wushan County, and I was a little confused.
Maybe the source of the information was inaccurate, or maybe it was due to historical changes.
The ancient place names were not used, so the newly published map did not include it.
Mark, since this town still exists in the Ming Dynasty, it must be an ancient town.
If it is abandoned, there should be ruins to be found.
It is impossible that not even a tile is left.
Check local chronicles carefully and you might be able to find clues.
Professor Sun nodded in agreement: "I lied to Lao Chen and asked you to go to the South China Sea to salvage ancient mirrors.
I am responsible for it.
I thought about it for a long time and decided to go with you.
What are your plans?"
I thought for a while and said, "Master Jiu, you finally thought about it.
We can ask about Qingxi Ancient Town when we get to Wushan County.
We can't delay any more.
We will set off tomorrow.
There shouldn't be too many people.
The fewer people who know, the better." , Let’s sum it up later.”
I came out of the study and saw that the guests outside had dispersed.
Professor Chen was very drunk and had been helped back to the bedroom to rest.

I called Shiry Yang and Fatty into the study, locked the door, and plotted to go to Wushan.
"Field Trip" Plan.
In the study room of Professor Chen's house, there are cabinets full of books.
Naturally, there are many literary and historical materials such as local chronicles.
Sun Jiuye rummaged through the cabinets to find a few books that were as big as bricks and looked up the history of Wushan County.
No record of a "Headless King" has been found.
It seems that the "hint" mentioned by Captain Feng is not so easy to find the answer to.
I said to Professor Sun: "I don't know if there is a headless king in Wushan, but it is said that Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty was assassinated and had his head cut off by Lu Siniang.
Therefore, when Yongzheng was buried, his body was headless and had a golden head attached to it. , This means he is headless.
But he is an emperor.
If he is a king, wouldn't he be demoted?
The age and geographical location do not match. " Sun Jiuye said: "This is an unofficial legend and cannot be believed.
During the Wu-Chu culture period, there was also a headless general, but he was not a prince.
The punishment of beheading was very common in ancient times.
In troubled times, there were many princes and generals.
The prime minister, and even the emperor, were separated from each other in the end.
If we count them one by one, we may never find a clue, so our attention should still be focused on the land of Bashu. " After everyone discussed it for a long time, they couldn't think of a "Headless King" near Wushan.
Shiry Yang said: "I'm afraid this king is not a king.
The local legends can only be confirmed after we go to Wushan County and inquire about it.
Since we are leaving for Sichuan tomorrow, we should make a careful plan first."
Sun Jiuye said: "Is it necessary to find a way to open a letter of introduction or something that is convenient for lodging and walking somewhere?
I need to wait at least another month to open a letter of introduction."
I said there was no need to write a letter of introduction, but it was really convenient to have a letter of introduction.
I might as well write one myself and have Da Jinya find an engraving master to carve a carrot seal and seal it overnight.
Sun Jiuye was speechless: "You still have the guts to write a letter of introduction yourself."
The fat man chuckled and said, "These days, you can't recognize people without stamps.
Wear a set of carrot stamps to be prepared.
Sun Laojiu, you don't know that there are many craftsmen in Panjiayuan who make a living by carving carrot stamps."
Shiry Yang didn’t know the usefulness of the letter of introduction and asked me what equipment I should bring.
What is Wushan’s natural geographical environment like?
I said to Shiry Yang: "I have never been to Wushan, but when I was in the army, I had several comrades from Chongqing.
According to them, Wushan is the gateway to eastern Sichuan.
There are many slopes and steps in the county.
To sum up, the terrain is seven mountains, one land and two water, and the endless Yangtze River flows.
It is cloudy and rainy in the mountains.
We don’t have many tools and equipment left in Beijing before, but I think they should be enough.
Although we are going into the mountains this time, the place is not as good as the Xinjiang desert.
Explosives and guns are not allowed to be carried.
Except for the tools used to touch Colonel Jin, we only bring First aid medicine, engineering shovels, lighting and communication equipment, and simple mountain climbing equipment are enough.”
The fat man said: "Bringing a gun makes you more powerful.
If you don't have a guy in your hand, you won't be brave.
I guess that group of mountain-watching Taibos are not fuel-efficient lamps.
They are mostly experienced thieves and murderous robbers.
Bring more explosives."
Only then can you be prepared.”

I told him: "In recent years, inspections on railways and highways have been extremely tight, and flammable and explosive items are not allowed on the road.
Furthermore, all the legends about the ancient tombs in Dixian Village mostly describe mysterious and strange things." place, but I didn’t say it was scary or dangerous.
I thought it was just some old and malfunctioning mechanical pins. , we are going into the mountains to investigate, not to fight.
I think the tomb of the Earth Immortal hidden in Wushan is just the tomb of a big landowner in the Ming Dynasty.
It is mainly hidden and cannot be as strong and huge as the imperial mausoleum.
There is no need to bring a cannon to kill mosquitoes.
This time we mainly rely on our methods of finding gold. " Sun Jiuye interjected: "Well, you Hu Bayi, you are so experienced, I taught you everything on point, and you dare to say that you don't know the art of tomb robbing.
But if you want to find the ancient tomb in Dixian Village, you still have to Only people like you can do it.”
I said: "When it comes to deciphering ancient symbols and riddles, you, Sun Jiuye, are a great master, but when it comes to searching mountains and looking for dragons, you are a layman.
But as for what it means to be a great king, who has a body but no leader, and wants to I still have to count on you to find a way to decipher the immortal words of "Seeing the Earth Immortal" and "Seeing the Immortal of the Black Yang" first.
When the time comes, we will work together and we won't have to worry about not being able to do it. " Although I said this, I did not make an optimistic estimate in my heart.
Maybe I would have to face the result of getting nothing in the end.
The legend of Dixian Village is extremely mysterious, and most of it is not recorded in official history.
The only more credible record comes from a notebook written by a Sichuanese in the Qing Dynasty: Miscellaneous Records of Bashu, which mentions: At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, rogue bandits entered Sichuan and robbed ancient tombs on a large scale, hoping to obtain the elixirs in the tombs of the Earthly Immortals.
Ding Tianshu.
"Alchemy" is a very special word.
It is the scientific name of the ancient corpse inner elixir.
If I had not been able to think of any other method, I would not have thought of going to Sichuan to look for the ancient Dixian Village based on just a few words of record. tomb.
In addition, the legend of rogue bandits digging mountain caves in the late Ming Dynasty did not occur in the Wushan area.
However, Bashu Miscellaneous Records are not anecdotes.
The book truly records many anecdotes about Sichuan's scenery, and the content is relatively credible.
At this time, the fat man remembered that there was still an important issue that had not been discussed, and immediately stood up and said: "What Old Hu just said was very good, but it was not enough about ideological work.
I will add a few words to everyone.
Facing the Nanhai Eggmen, Weeping and crying and asking for help, we all rely on our craftsmanship to make a living.
Let’s touch gold.
The captain must not sit idly by.
I heard from you that the Guanshan Taibao is a powerful thief.
The gold, jewels and jade he has hidden in the ancient tombs in Wushan must be piled up like mountains.
I think our expedition team should be lifted into the coffin based on the principle of not being corrupt and wasteful.
When the time comes, what should be piled up will be piled up, and what should be packed up will be packed away."
Professor Sun immediately objected: "Absolutely not, just tap out the dragon bone pattern of the Zhou Tian Gua diagram, and leave nothing else alone.
Let me reiterate, I am not doing it to get rich."
The fat man said, aren't you deceiving yourself?
Striving for fame is more noble than pursuing profit.
I stopped the fat man and said, "Everyone has his own way of dealing with things.
You can't force it.
I don't care about other things.
Anyway, I have to give him the Ancient Corpse Golden Pill."
It’s too early to argue about it now.
We can wait until we find the Wushan Ancient Tomb to take action.”
After the discussion, the four of us tidied up and set off early the next morning.
It was indispensable to "ride the road and board the boat when encountering water".
We did not forget about the hardships of "hungry meals, thirsty drinks, tired boating and traveling". .
Wushan County is located in the Wu Gorge section of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
The surging Yangtze River swallows the mountains with its force, carving up the mountains and heading east.

This section of the gorge is divided into three sections: Qutang Gorge, Wu Gorge, and Xiling Gorge.
There are wide valleys connecting the gorges, with a total length of nearly 200 kilometers.
Qutang Gorge is famous for its majesty and steepness, while Xiling Gorge has many shoals and fast water.
The origin of its name can be traced back to the Han Dynasty.
Just like the names of Ruanling and Wuling, they are all named after ancient tombs or hanging coffins.
It got its name, but the site of Qiulong Mausoleum has long since been found, and no one can tell clearly which ancient people were buried in these places named after "Mausoleum".
Wu Gorge, on the other hand, is characterized by its "deep beauty", with rolling mountains and foggy clouds.
Wushan County has a winding mountain road, and you can take a long-distance bus into the county.
The mountain road is winding and rugged.
It was a thick fog on that day, so the car drove very slowly.
The surrounding dense green forests and the hillsides with strange rocks and raised mountains were surrounded by clouds and mist.
It is looming in the middle, making it difficult for people to see the beauty of the peaks.
The driver stopped the car before walking halfway.
He probably thought it was too difficult to drive in the fog and was afraid of an accident.
He wanted to wait until the clouds cleared before leaving.
At that time, there were few cars in China and even fewer people had driving licenses, so drivers who knew how to drive were highly respected.
Anyone who knew a driver who knew how to drive would feel proud in front of others.
This trend is even stronger in mountainous areas.
Girls with good looks and good conditions are willing to marry drivers.
Those who marry drivers are beautiful and airy, while those who don't get married will be in tears all day long.
The driver is also very arrogant and insists that when he doesn't want to leave, no passenger will dare to rush him.
It is not impossible for the driver to drink a few taels when he is happy and sleep in the afternoon before driving.
There is only one bus every day. , I can’t even sit down even if I don’t want to.
We followed the locals, so we had to eat and rest in a small town on the roadside, and also inquired about Qingxi Town and the Headless King.
This extremely small town is built against the mountains.
Most of the buildings are red and white, and most of them are old houses that existed before liberation.
We found a local snack shop at the entrance of the town to have lunch.
The boss is a bald man with a dull head.
According to their local dialect, he is "melon-like."
He grins when someone comes to eat.
He doesn't know how to greet guests, but he will give you whatever you want to eat.
Whatever you do, you still need skills.
After eating two bowls of Long Chao Shou, I felt better in my stomach and my head was much clearer from the bumps along the way.
I winked at Shiry Yang and Sun Jiuye and told them to continue eating while I went to get some "tongue leakage" out. , immediately stood up and walked over, handed the bald boss a cigarette, and took the opportunity to make a conversation: "Boss, your head is so bright, it must be a good omen."
The bald-headed boss was overjoyed when he heard this and asked me where I was from.
I said we came here from Beijing to inspect historical sites.
Let me ask you about the place and see if you know it.
The bald-headed boss nodded and said, "Yes, I wonder where you want to inquire."
I asked him if he knew where Qingxi Town in Wushan was and whether there was any legend about a king having his head chopped off in ancient times.
The bald-headed boss shook his head and said: "I've never heard of it.
How could a king have his head chopped off?
Before liberation, there were many common people who had their heads chopped off by bandits and warlords.
I was still a half-grown child at that time.
I heard from the old people Say, the wooden stake at the street corner is used for beheading”:
