The current situation, the foreign literature cited in Mr. Yao's two papers, and their previous speculation on the identity of the "Ziyihou" organization, the answer is almost ready to be revealed.
Twelve thousand years ago in prehistory, a race of super-intelligent humans appeared on the earth.
It is the M27 "Homo sapiens with flat head and long forehead" whose skeleton fossils have been unearthed before.
The emergence of their group was several times higher than those of the apes who were still in the Paleolithic Age.
This caused the slave society to appear in advance and civilization began to develop rapidly.
The content of "Ten Thousand Years of Prehistory" quoted in the paper mentioned the pyramid-shaped altar on the Motu Islands, the stone pillars on Deanie Island, the giant stone wall on Yabu Island, as well as the stone statues on Nuukhiba Island, and the Puma Pengu Temple. , Göbekli Tepe, these prehistoric structures have almost all been determined to have appeared between 10,000 and 12,000 years prehistory.
Only China has not unearthed any relevant giant prehistoric sites.
This is also an important factor why Professor Yao's project was stopped.
This time, the "Searching for Traces of Ancient Humans" activity launched by the Institute of Ancient Research will go deep into the Qinling Mountains to explore traces of ancient human life.
To put it bluntly, it is an officially launched science popularization operation. The purpose is to attract widespread attention from the public and inject some new vitality into this profession.
Majors related to the Institute of Ancient Research are really in short supply now. No one applies for professional majors, and no one enters the workplace.
If we don't bring in some new blood, this unit may be directly merged into the Institute of Archeology in the future.
Coincidentally, Qinling Mountains is also where Lin Yi and the others will explore next.
From the five "Wanling Pu", we learned that from Captain Mojin in the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the "General in the Wilderness" in the Northern Wei Dynasty, they had explored almost all the tombs they could.
The last part of this fifth mausoleum is the work of the chief they saw in the imaginary space of Pingfeng Mountain.
At that time, the Northern and Southern Dynasties were in turmoil. After the Northern Wei Dynasty, the northern power split again into the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Western Wei Dynasty.
The Northern Qi and the Northern Zhou replaced the Eastern and Western Wei.
The political center of the Central Plains region moved back to Chang'an from Luodu.
The capital of the Northern Zhou Dynasty at that time was Chang'an.
Before this, the tombs where "Jiuding" appeared were somewhat related to the country name "Zhou", so Lin Yi wanted to try his luck this time.
Now that the capital has moved back to Chang'an, the first choice for the cemetery has naturally moved from Mang Mountain to the Qinling Mountains where the Zhonglong Dragon Vein is located.
The Qinling Mountains are the natural dividing line between the north and south of China's geography.
It starts from Kunlun in the west, passes through Longnan and Qinnan in the middle, and ends in Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Dabie Mountain and Zhangbaling near Bengbu in the east.
Due to the special geographical location of the Qinling Mountains today, many places cannot be opened to the outside world, even if they are passing by.
This time, with the help of the Ancient Research Institute's activities, we can save them a lot of trouble.
It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to learn more about ancient humans.
After coming out of Professor Yao's house, several of them began to prepare the trip plan.
Bai Lu has also been in contact with Yao Yiyan.
It seems that the popularity of this event is quite good, attracting the participation of many short video authors, Internet celebrities, and online science writers.
After screening, the official finalized the list of participants for this event.
The popularity of the four-person group "Sugar Four Corners" is so high that they won one of the participating places in response to public expectations.
Teacher Hu Xiaoliang, a well-known popular science blogger about animals and plants, who was the first to interact with Lin Yi and others, also joined the team.
In addition, the vehicle sponsors of the event also added a professional outdoor blogger-Lao Kang and a home-dancing otaku goddess-Coffee Cat.
All the people "joining in the fun" are here.
As for the professional team, the director of the Institute of Ancient Research personally led the team and also brought two of his capable men, including Yao Yiyan.
It can be seen from this configuration that there is definitely nothing interesting to say about this event. It is basically just going through the motions to gain a familiar face.
Yao Yiyan also mentioned this event in his message to Bai Lu.
They visited the Qinling Mountains countless times, but their harvest was extremely limited.
He also told them not to have too much hope in this operation. They had only been out for a week and it was a fool's errand to think of walking through the Qinling Mountains.
The fans in the "Sugar Four Corners" live broadcast room, who had been silent for a while, seemed very excited this time.
It has been a while since Lin Yi and the others last broadcast together in Qianzhou.
The four of them have been very busy recently, and now they finally have a chance to not hide it. For them, it is also a kind of feedback to the fans.
Qian Sheng's first stage of study has come to an end for the time being. His foundation is very solid, and Uncle Wang taught him very attentively.
In the old man's words, it took him more than two years to finish the theory.
Qian Sheng has now passed almost a quarter of the theoretical content.
After he finishes learning these things, he can basically start making a batch of porcelain-like gadgets and test the heat.
Since we are going on a long trip, we still follow the old rules and have a clear division of labor.
Qian Sheng and Bai Lu were responsible for logistics and medical equipment, Wang Qiang was responsible for researching the route, and Lin Yi controlled the overall situation.
After everything was prepared, the "Sugar Four Corners" gathered again, arrived at the starting point of the event, and participated in the press conference on the day of the operation.
At this moment, Lin Yi and the others couldn't help but think of the scene when they explored the Jingjue Kingdom from Tacheng.
At that time, he said that he would wait for Deputy Director Sun to come over and hold a grand press conference. Later, under Lin Yi's suggestion, the press conference was canceled.
I wonder if the conflict between Deputy Director Sun and him was forged from that time on.
"Old Lin, do you think this director will be like the old Sun last time, who always puts on a show when he comes up? Becomes a bureaucracy? I've said it in advance. No matter how big an official he is, I will never be used to it. he."
"You may be disappointed this time. I heard from Sister Yan that the director is very personable, and he came back from studying abroad. He doesn't have the old bureaucratic demeanor."
"It's best not to. If he dares to explode, I have plenty of ways to cure him."
While the four people were whispering, they suddenly heard Director Guan on the stage change the subject:
“For this event, we also sent out invitations to the entire network. After online voting by Douyin platform users, a total of four groups of Internet experts were selected to travel with us.
Invite them to appear! "
When the four of them heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded.
"I never heard that there is such a link!"
"Then let's go to Lulu. She is now our spokesperson, professional and relevant."
"Seconded!"
When Bai Lu heard this, she rolled her eyes at the three brothers, straightened her appearance, and appeared on the stage on behalf of "Sugar Four Corners".
"I am very happy and honored to be able to participate in this event. I would like to thank the Guyan Institute for initiating this event, and also thank the Douyin platform for its strong support. At the same time, I would like to thank the majority of netizens for their love and attention to our 'Sugar Four Corners'. "
I have to say, a professional is a professional.
When Bai Lu came up, she talked about everything. Whether they were promoters or sponsors, everyone was elated.
This look, this figure, this manner of speaking, instantly put that otaku goddess who lives in the filter down.
Wang Qiang held the live broadcast equipment under the stage and looked at the barrage. "Goddess" was mentioned over and over again, and his popularity skyrocketed.
"What a bunch of old naughty people. When we showed up just now, no one bought gifts. Now, all the zombie fans are resurrected.
Just now, everyone was clamoring to see Coffee Cat, but now they have all become Bai Lu’s die-hard fans! "
"How would Mr. Luo feel if he knew that the goddess he followed looked like this after turning off the filter?"
"Oh, if you don't tell me, I almost forgot. My husband asked me to get him an autograph and a photo. Remember to remind me when the show is over. However, I estimate that if he pays attention to our anchor room now, he will be disillusioned. .”
After saying that, Wang Qiang turned his head and looked at the two people around him, both with evil smiles on their faces.
After the press conference, the sponsor's car parked directly outside, and the group boarded the car and drove all the way from Shangjing to Chang'an.
It’s not my own car, so it’s awkward to drive it.
Along the way, Wang Qiang basically complained about how difficult it was to drive the car, and he basically didn't have a good word to say.
"Fat Brother looks like he hasn't been recharged by the car company, unlike others. He's all praising him."
"Isn't that right? I also followed Lao Zhou's live broadcast room earlier. He praised this car so much that anyone who doesn't buy this car is simply being ignorant."
"Old Zhou? Is that the outdoor anchor? The one who formed a group and led a dozen people all over the mountains and fields, claiming to be the disciple of 'Master De'? I'm a qtm, right? My ex-girlfriend signed up for his broken group, I went camping once and put a hat on my head when I came back."
"I pity you, brother!"
"Sympathy +1, can you elaborate on the details of wearing a hat?"
"Are you a devil? Why do you want to mention the sad story of the buddy upstairs? Actually, I want to hear it too."
Lin Yi looked at the barrage scrolling on the screen, and suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"Old Wang!"
He winked at Wang Qiang, and Wang Qiang immediately understood, turned the live broadcast camera to his side, and turned off the microphone here.
Bai Lu and Qian Sheng also joined in immediately.
'What's the matter, what do you think about that guy wearing a hat? "
Qian Sheng joked.
"What are you thinking about? Do you think there is something wrong with that old Zhou?"
"Is there a problem? I haven't looked at him carefully yet."
“The problem is that it’s just a middle-aged man who has been online for a long time and has a glib tongue.
He should be in the habit of working out. He looks quite strong. He likes to wear tight clothes and looks very greasy. I don't see much else. "
Lin Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said:
"I feel that Lao Zhou may be a member of the family."
Hearing him say these words, the other three people in the car were stunned.
"A member of the same sect? Are you from the same sect as us?" Qian Sheng asked in confusion.
Lin Yi shook his head.
"When I first saw him, I felt he was similar to what Lulu said, a greasy middle-aged man. But judging from his words and deeds, I may have been wrong at first sight."
"How to say?"
“Before entering the venue, when Lao Wang and I were smoking around the trash can, this guy had already arrived. He didn’t smoke himself, but he had a pack of Huazi in his pocket to spread cigarettes for others.
When others smoke, he always stands upstream.
When he rolled up his sleeves, I saw a tattoo about Er Ye on his forearm, and on the other arm it should be Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. "
"Xie Ling Lux?"
After listening to these elements described by Lin Yi, Qian Sheng was the first to react.
The Xiling Rikishi is considered to be the least technical among the four sects of inverted fighting.
It's exactly like the one on the Green Forest Road, with the tactics of taking things by force and bringing in a sea of people.
They were born in the Red Eyebrow Army of the New Dynasty. Judging from the time, they were earlier than Mojin Xiaowei.
Back then, these people marched all the way into Chang'an City. After their defeat, they began to dig up the graves of the old Liu family. After being wiped out by the imperial court, they were completely scattered. They occupied the land as kings and the grass as bandits.
Later generations of Xiling warriors worshiped Emperor Guan because they took the green forest road.
Respecting Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, as the ancestor, and taking the word "righteousness" from Xiang Yu's rebel army in the late Qin Dynasty as a sign of gathering righteousness and dividing the spoils. The overlord's strength to pull up the mountain is also a good fortune for the Xiling warriors who fought against each other with external force.
There are many people in Xiling, and it is between the two livelihoods of green forest and bucket fighting.
Throughout the ages, there have been leaders who served as bandit chiefs.
The chief of thieves in Xiling has the power of life and death, and it is up to the chief of thieves to decide how to divide the stolen goods and gather justice. The thieves usually disperse, and when there is a tomb, they unite and fight together. When the tomb cannot be found, the thieves become green forest figures, gathering in the mountains and forests to steal property.
As time went by, this sect gradually disappeared due to reasons such as origin and methods.
When Hongmen called on people with lofty ideals from all over the world to raise the banner of anti-Qing, no one from Xilingmen came forward, so naturally they could not become a part of the "Eight Leaders".
"The leader of Xiling is the same as the native masters of Sanxiang, so their leader also has the skill of 'looking, hearing, asking and understanding', observing mud marks, identifying grass colors, looking for treasures, smelling mud, listening to wind and thunder, and speaking like a river.
So these people, just like Mr. Chang, do not smoke or drink, but they are not afraid of women. "
Combining the conditions that Lin Yi just mentioned, and thinking about this old Zhou, it seems that he really meets the conditions he mentioned.
"It can't be such a coincidence, right? We have just dealt with the 'General of the Wilderness' and the 'Taoist of Moving the Mountain', and we have met the 'Xieling Hercules' so soon?"
"My intuition is very strong. I would rather believe that something is happening than not. There is someone watching behind us all the time! We have to keep an eye on him in the future."
Lin Yi reminded.
"By the way, this person seems to have been brought in by a sponsor!"
A department like the Ancient Research Institute has very little funding. It was not easy to attract sponsors this time.
The sponsor also insisted on bringing in such an outdoor blogger who is quite popular on the Internet, which seems quite reasonable.
ps: This chapter was posted last night, but was blocked again and revised twice. This book has been blocked since I wrote it. I won’t say anything else. This is the first time I have been reported. Yesterday morning, the chapter was posted at 7 o’clock. At around 7 o’clock in the afternoon, a message was sent in the background saying that there was a problem with the content and it was blocked. Yes, I revised it and reposted it.
Brothers who are reading books should all feel that my ability to write transitional plots is very poor. This happened again, and it happened to be on the weekend, and the rhythm was disrupted again. I will adjust it as soon as possible. Thank you for continuing to read. Brother, I'm really sorry for blocking duplicate subscriptions, and I apologize to you all!
