Chapter 742: Catholic church

The straight-line distance from Polillo to San Fernando is about 300 kilometers, which is more than enough for the range of this a139 helicopter. And if you take a helicopter, you can fly to San Fernando in at most an hour and a half, but if you take this fishing boat, it's close to 500 nautical miles, and it takes about 30 hours.

Yang Jing is really not in the mood to wait for such a long time, because the next three locations are all in the northern part of Luzon, two of them are in the city, and the other is in the mountains.

If he hadn't encountered this series of natural disasters, Yang Jing might still have the mood to drive the yacht by sea, but now, after seeing so many deaths and destructions, he is really in no mood.

In addition to two pilot positions, this a139 helicopter also has fifteen seats in the cabin, which means it can carry seventeen people. Yang Jing and his party consisted of exactly 16 people. Counting the original pilot of this helicopter, it happened to be 17 people, and they could all be drawn to San Fernando at one time.

Speaking of the Philippines, it is really weird. This country is obviously all Asian, but regardless of the names of people or places, most of them have a strong Spanish style. It seems that this country has not been ruled in vain after being ruled by Spain for hundreds of years.

But again, given the characteristics of Spanish names, the place names are really a bit barren, so in the Philippines, many places have the same name. Sometimes a place name can be used in many places. It can be the name of a city, a bay, or even the name of a valley...

Just like the San Fernando that Yang Jing and the others went to, there are two most famous places in the Philippines alone, and these two places are the capital cities of the Philippine provinces.

There is a province of La Union in the northwest of Luzon. The capital of this province is called San Fernando. And in central Luzon, northwest of Manila, there is a province called Pampanga. The capital of this province is also called San Fernando...

Therefore, when many Filipinos want to go to one of San Fernando, they must explain that they are going to San Fernando in that province. Otherwise, whether it is a car or a train, it will easily lead you to the wrong place.

The San Fernando that Yang Jing and the others are going to is the port city of San Fernando further north. This city has a long history, with the Cordillera Mountains to the east, the South China Sea to the west, and Lingaya Bay to the south.

Among the remaining three hidden locations, the one in San Fernando is the southernmost one, and the other two hidden locations are further north.

The specific coordinates of this hidden location in San Fernando are 16.6 degrees north latitude and 12o.3 degrees east longitude. If you look at the satellite map, this location happens to be an old Catholic church, located in the old city not far from the port.

The history of San Fernando can be traced back to the time when the Spanish colonized the Philippines. At that time, this city surrounded by mountains and the sea had already taken shape. Later, the Americans drove away the Spaniards and became the overlord of the Philippines. They also built a port in this city, turning the city into a port city.

Later, Japan drove the Americans out of the Philippines and occupied the country. This port city naturally became an important port for Japan to transport resources looted from Southeast Asian countries to Japan.

This city can be said to be the most important and largest port in northern Luzon, and a large number of materials are transferred through this port every year.

However, although the area of ​​the city is not small now, it was not large during the Spanish rule. At that time, the city was only a small area near the port, and this area was the old local population. City, or Kata Bangen District.

The Catholic Church where the sixth hiding place is located is just west of Kata Bangen.

Under the joint control of Chris and the pilot, the helicopter flew to San Fernando in just one and a half hours, because it is far from Catanduanes and there is a huge gap in between. The island of Luzon, so it was not affected by the tsunami, but suffered some losses when the fourth strong typhoon Hagupit crossed the border.

When Yang Jing and the others arrived here, there were still traces left after the storm passed on the street. Some green trees were uprooted and still fell on the street before they had time to be cleaned up.

The hotel they booked by Yang Jing is not in Kata Bangen, but in the new city area to the north. Although Kata Bangen has a long history, most of them here are some very old houses, and there are few modern buildings, only a few kilometers away. There are some luxury hotels in the new city outside. Fortunately, the traffic in the city is very convenient. It is also very convenient to rent a car after you live. You can visit the old church at any time.

After staying, Yang Jing gave the helicopter pilot a sum of money and let him wander around by himself. His helicopter was directly taken over by Chris and Bruno. The driver also understood that, knowing that these two drivers had a higher driving level than him, and that they could also earn an extra reward. Of course he was happy to do so, so he happily accepted the money and rented it. A car started to wander around here.

And Morris rented four Mitsubishi Pajero, so that no matter what kind of flying or running on the ground, he can travel any way he wants.

After dinner in the evening, everyone had a good rest. Early the next morning, Yang Jing drove a group of people to Kata Bangen, south of the hotel, preparing to take a closer look at this ancient Catholic church. .

As the car drove into Kata Bangen, the architectural style changed a lot. If we could feel the charm of a modern city when we were in the new city just now, then when we entered Kata Bangen, there was a strong feeling. The historical charm is blown away.

The Kata roots are not big, the longest distance from north to south is less than two kilometers, and the fastest from east to west is less than one kilometer. This area was the first military camp established by the Spaniards. Later, with this area as the center, it slowly developed into what it is now.

Therefore, in Kata Bangen, you can see hundreds of years old buildings everywhere, and some masonry buildings are even two to three hundred years old. Just like the destination of this visit, the Catholic church built in the middle of the eighteenth century is a typical masonry structure, which has a history of nearly three hundred years.

The church is located on the edge of a clearing. Except for the large clearing to the east, the other three directions are old two-story or three-story small buildings. These houses have a history of hundreds of years. Some houses are simply Built by the Spanish.

When the Spaniards ruled the Philippines, this was the main residence of the Spaniards in San Fernando, and the mansion of the Spanish in San Fernando was located not far to the east of this church.

"Boss, it doesn't look like a treasure hiding place." Clark, dressed as a tourist, asked Yang Jing in a low voice while looking at the ancient church.

Yang Jing smiled slightly, and said in a low voice, "The more impossible the place to hide treasure is, in fact, the most likely place to hide treasure. Don't you understand such a simple truth? If those things look like It’s a place where the treasure is hidden, how can the treasure be preserved?"

Clark scratched the back of his head and said with a little embarrassment: "Okay boss, who made you the boss? You should solve the brain-burning problem, and I will only charge for you."

Chris on the side also asked in a low voice, "Boss, is there really treasure here?"

Yang Jing nodded slightly, and said with an irrepressible smile on his face: "Yes, if I read it right, there should be treasures buried here, and there are still a lot of them."

"Really? There are really treasures here?" Ge Ge, who had been holding Yang Jing's arm, asked in surprise.

"Well, it's true that there are treasures here, but the key is how we should take them out. Because these treasures are buried deep under this church."

Chris looked at the surroundings of the church, and then said: "Why don't we go in and see what's inside before making a decision~lightnovelpub.net~ Everyone nodded, Yang Jing nodded at Morris , Morris immediately went to negotiate with the priest of the church. After a while, Morris came back and said: "That priest is very happy to let us visit this ancient church. "

Then visit it!

Only by getting close can we clearly feel the heavy sense of history in this church. The walls of the church are all built with large blocks of rock, and they look extremely strong. The tops should have been replaced not long ago, and the difference can be seen at a glance. The wall was covered with creepers, almost wrapping up the walls of the entire church.

The church faces south from the north, and the gate opens to the south. Above the gate is a tall and sharp Gothic tower with a huge cross at the top of the tower. The architectural style of this Gothic church is exactly in line with the architectural style of the church back then.

After entering the church, everyone found that the inside was very spacious. Like most Catholic churches, the walls, glass windows, and domes inside were painted, and it seems that these paintings have a long history. Below, there are two rows of wooden seats, a spacious aisle in the middle, and a small confession pavilion in one corner of the church.

At the very front of the church, in addition to erecting the crucifixion of **** Christ, there are also the Virgin Mary, the icon of Saint Joseph the Great on both sides, and the fourteen sad roads that **** Christ walked through on the walls. Chris and the others believe in Protestantism, not Catholicism, so after they came in, they just bowed slightly to the statue of God and began to look at the church carefully.

Just now the boss said that there are a lot of treasures buried in the ground of this church. They have to look for an entrance to the underground.
