One month later, --
The Gregorian calendar year has now reached 1999.
The 28th day of the 11th month in the lunar calendar.
A month has passed since the Drum Festival ended.
The elite Miao people had already left eastern Guizhou under the leadership of the priests and jackals, leaving behind only the spirit maiden's guards and a few old witches.
During this past month, no one knew what happened to the Miao King and the One Saint, Four Spirits, and Miao Phoenix after they entered the secret realm deep within the Miao Mountains.
But outside, a dramatic change has taken place.
Firstly, in the counties of eastern Guizhou centered on Tianfeng County, the comprehensive development of the Miao region is proceeding in an orderly manner with the arrival of Xinglan Company, a branch of Mochen Capital.
The initial stage involves research and evaluation.
Under the supervision of Mochen Capital, with the cooperation of Shengtang, and with the strong support of the priests and chieftains of the Miao region in eastern Guizhou, Xinglan Company --
A comprehensive investigation into the architectural features of Miao villages!
For example, stilted houses, Miao clothing of various branches, Miao language, Miao songs and dances, customs, handicrafts such as silver ornaments, embroidery, batik, as well as food, religious beliefs, historical legends, and everything else.
This investment, totaling over 10 billion yuan, is quite large in scale and scope.
Therefore, with the help of senior experts, Xinglan Company also needs to assess the natural resources of Miao territory.
For example, the uniqueness and value of terraced fields, mountains, forests, rivers, etc.
Because all of these are related to tourism.
However, no matter how much development is carried out, although the deep mountains have been opened to the public with the permission of the Miao King, some Miao villages are still off-limits to unauthorized entry.
For example, after the Drum Festival, non-Miao people are prohibited from entering Jiuyou Ancient Village, and it is no longer open to the public.
If anyone wants to enter, they cannot do so without the permission of the priests, provided that the Miao King and Miao Saint are not present.
This is only in the inner region. In the county seat, the development of the entire Miao region is a top priority, and the whole county is giving it its full support.
Any matter concerning Miao territory, as long as it doesn't cross that red line, will be handled immediately by the local government.
If you encounter difficulties or cannot make a decision on your own, report it to the authorities.
Once the documents arrived at Tan County, and Tan County confirmed that there were no violations, they immediately signed the document.
Tianfeng County is now a highly sought-after county in eastern Guizhou, its most dazzling pearl. As a result, other counties with large areas of Miao villages, such as Rongjiang and Tianjin, are also gaining popularity.
Therefore, these county governments were eager for Miao people to come to them.
Today, in counties in eastern Guizhou with numerous Miao villages, the work is in full swing, and the Miao people are highly respected by other ethnic groups wherever they go.
Because the non-Miao people want to get rich!
Of course, it's also because of the massive 12.8 billion yuan project. In the provincial capital, everyone knows about the large-scale development of the Miao region in eastern Guizhou.
This has led to a significant increase in the number of vendors along the county roads that branch off from the provincial highways to eastern Guizhou.
Another piece of good news is that Rongjiang was upgraded from a county to a city, which was officially announced in March of this year.
The city's secretary was parachuted in from another province, while the second-in-command was Tan County from Tianfeng.
As for the top public security officer, it was actually Shi Xiang from Rongjiang, while Yun Kai from Tianfeng was the deputy.
The new leadership team for Rongjiang City has been established.
Although the city magistrate has not yet officially taken office, he has already sent people to Miao territory to learn about the Miao king in advance.
This city clerk seems to have a powerful background. He's coming here in March, eager to make his mark, but he's worried that the Miao king will sabotage him.
Moreover, someone had warned him before he came that the Miao King was a double-edged sword.
Want to use him? Be careful, he might "cut" you up!
pity,--
The people sent couldn't find the Miao King; all the information they received was hearsay.
While the counties in eastern Guizhou were busy, the Daxia business district was even more bustling.
As Phoenix Company officially changed its name to Phoenix Group, the bidding process for several skyscraper projects, which were launched at the same time, is in full swing.
Everywhere, people are extremely busy.
Deep in the Miao Mountains, in the Miao region, --
There was still no news of Mu Achen and the other six who had already entered the secret realm, which made the entire Miao people very worried.
Until half a month later, --
The 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is February 1st in the Gregorian calendar, --
late at night.
In the heart of the Miao Mountains, amidst the gloomy sky, several streaks of colorful rainbow light appeared.
The rainbow light startled many top-tier sorcerers and wizards in Miao territory, but it didn't last long before the night returned to calm.
"What's going on? Why is there such a reaction in this secret realm?"
"I don't know either, Grandma. Do you know?"
"The Miao King, Miao Saint, and Miao Huang should be coming out soon, but we don't know what secrets are hidden in the secret realm, since they've been inside for so long."
…
The next morning.
The world was shrouded in mist and clouds.
King Ali Chen of Miao, accompanied by one saint, four spirits, and a Miao phoenix, emerged from the secret realm.
The priests, old witches, peak grass demons, and Miao army commanders guarding the entrance to the secret realm quickly surrounded Achen and his companions upon seeing them.
"Ah Chen, --"
"Why do you look so disheveled!"
"Still injured?"
Ah Chen waved his hand, indicating that everyone should not worry, then handed a large box he was carrying to the Miao army commander, before speaking to the high priest and the priests:
"Inside the secret realm, there are no piles of gold and silver treasures as we imagined, but there are ancient Miao secret manuals that are even more precious than jewels."
"These secret texts involve everything from witchcraft, sorcery, magic, and medicine. They have all been lost for thousands of years, including the peak prophetic arts of my ancient Miao period."
"High Priest, you take people in to tidy up, but from this moment on, this place will be designated as a forbidden area for all Miao people. We will go to the Zizhu Miao Village on the Zi Miao side first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Chen left with Ah Mo and Ah Yun.
