Before the giant beast appeared, this axe-cut valley was just an ordinary canyon. Although it looks a bit smooth and steep, it has no value worthy of exploration and research.
There are not many documented data on this aspect.
So much so that local officials could directly give this land to a foreigner to plant trees.
But it's different now.
The appearance of the giant beast casts a mysterious veil over the Ax-Chiselled Valley.
What is the truth like?
Zhang Shouquan silently looked at the report sent by the researcher and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
[Summary of exploration on the geological conditions of Ax Chisel Valley]
This report document records a series of research data on the Ax-Cut Valley starting last night.
"According to research, this axe-cut valley has existed for nearly six hundred years."
"The rock layers at the bottom show signs of being squeezed longitudinally by huge forces. Like the rock layers at the bottom of most craters, different layers of rock are melted and mixed together."
Although Zhang Shouquan was not engaged in scientific research, he was still able to extract some key information from the report sent by the researchers.
Nearly six hundred years ago, this area was squeezed from top to bottom by a huge force, forming an axe-cut valley.
Researchers are still unsure of the specific cause of the formation of this axe-cut valley.
The so-called huge force of squeezing, and what kind of thing can produce such a huge force to create such a long and narrow canyon.
This is still unknown.
The only useful information currently available may be from this point in time about six hundred years ago.
Zhang Shouquan pondered for a moment, and then ordered his subordinates to read the county annals of nearby places to see if there were any relevant records in the history of about six hundred years ago.
Maybe you can find a few words in it.
As for himself, he began to think about the possible whereabouts of the giant beast.
It’s really hard not to care about the giant beast that disappeared inexplicably.
Almost all of Qi Weiguo's troops have been sent out to search for possible traces in the mountains, but so far they can only find the last footprints of the giant beast stopped somewhere, and then there are no more traces.
Except for a messy mountain forest, no clues can be found in the surrounding area. Not even a bit of biological tissue that the giant beast may have left behind has been discovered so far.
What they didn't know was that under Chen Sheng's experienced handling, they would not be left with any trace of the giant beast.
However, Chen Sheng deliberately left one thing behind and did not deal with it.
"Report! There is a major discovery!"
A messenger suddenly broke into the temporary command post and said to Zhang Shouquan, who was thinking hard.
Looking at the panting and serious-looking messenger, Zhang Shouquan's eyes became serious.
After connecting the screen of the temporary command post to the expert team at the bottom of the canyon, Zhang Shouquan saw with his own eyes the major discovery mentioned by the messenger.
That's a piece of jade.
The palm-sized ancient jade was placed on a temporary experimental platform set up under the axe-cut valley.
A group of experts stared at the jade on the table with shocked expressions.
When the picture was zoomed in, Zhang Shouquan, who could clearly see the full view of the jade, froze on the spot subconsciously.
There is no explanation for the jade itself, and it does not seem to be a precious variety, like the variety found in the jade vein nearly a hundred miles away from Anqing Village.
The jade itself is still full of cracks, as if it will break in the next second.
But there is a sun pattern and a string of strange characters on the jade.
Looking at this string of characters, Zhang Shouquan silently applied to his superiors for the implementation of more advanced confidentiality regulations, and slowly said: "Yong Zhou sealed the monster here in the first year of Xuande."
"We should all be able to understand this strange string of characters, right?"
Zhang Shouquan asked the geological experts in front of him through the screen, and the answer he received was silence.
"I will take you to sign a stricter confidentiality agreement later. Please pay attention."
After Zhang Shouquan finished speaking, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted while sitting on his chair.
Things are really getting more mysterious.
Yong Zhou sealed the monster here in the first year of Xuande...
Such a piece of information really reveals something incredible.
Zhang Shouquan's originally messy thoughts were instantly sorted out by this piece of jade.
Yong Zhou shouldn't be a person's name, it might be the name of an extraordinary organization. The giant beast that appeared yesterday was most likely sealed by Yong Zhou in the first year of Xuande.
That ax-cut valley may have been created when Yong Zhou sealed the giant beast!
Now that the jade has cracks, it probably means that the sealing method has failed. Then the giant beast came out.
Then the giant beast suddenly disappeared, maybe it was Yong Zhou who didn't know whether it continues to this day, but took action again? !
Thinking, Zhang Shouquan swallowed.
This story inferred from the jade is not complicated, but Zhang Shouquan has difficulty convincing himself that it is true.
He couldn't believe that a supernatural organization had always existed in history.
At least since the first year of Xuande nearly six hundred years ago, that extraordinary organization has been silently guarding mankind in secret.
In the first year of Xuande 597 years ago, was there really an organization named Yong Zhou that sealed a giant beast in this mountain range?
Zhang Shouquan narrowed his eyes.
Although there was all kinds of irrefutable evidence in front of him, he was still skeptical.
This is his stubbornness towards the historical materialism he has believed in throughout his life.
Opening the electronic county annals from the surrounding areas, Zhang Shouquan tried to find loopholes in the records of the first year of Xuande to find loopholes in this extraordinary story hidden in history.
He wanted to look up the county annals himself and read the history of the surrounding areas in the first year of Xuande.
County annals are special books that record the history, geography, customs, people, culture, education, products, etc. of a county.
The historical records generally only contain various major events, but they are not very numerous.
The surrounding county annals with records from the first year of Xuande were quickly browsed by Zhang Shouquan.
Among them, Zhang Shouquan discovered a point that has not attracted the attention of historians in the past.
In addition to recording various daily information such as field harvests and official appointments, the county annals in surrounding areas seemed to invariably record the same vision.
"Anping County Chronicle": "In the first year of Xuande, I saw it in April. I saw fire flowing from the sky, earth dragons turning over, and the roar of beasts, which was suspected to be the evil gods in the mountains."
"Anning County Chronicle": "April, the first year of Xuande. Suddenly the light shone brightly, and it was suspected that a beast was howling from the mountain, and it was useless to disturb people and animals."
"Ankang County Chronicle": "In the first year of Xuande, in April, the sky was bright, and the roar of beasts came from the mountains. Following the sound to find the beasts, there was no result. The earth dragon turned over and returned in fear."
There are such records in almost all the surrounding counties and counties close to the Ax-Chiselled Valley.
On April 16th of the first year of Xuande, all the counties around the mountain range where the Ax Chug Valley is located saw what seemed to be an unusual light in the sky. Then a huge beast roar came from the mountain, and finally the ground shook.
With such consistent records, in the past he would have thought it was a beast in the mountains, and then a fire that looked like a meteor shone through the sky, and an earthquake occurred when it fell.
But looking at it now, he can see a different story hidden in it.
An organization called Yong Zhou sealed the giant beast on April 16, the first year of Xuande. The beast's roar was the cry of a giant beast. The light at that time shook the earth and the mountains, and even the axe-cut valley formed six hundred years ago. It was the movement that occurred when Yong Zhou sealed the giant beast.
The more you compare existing evidence with historical records.
Zhang Shouquan felt more and more as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
It's like seeing the truth from history.
