After bidding farewell to the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, I found the health worker Yu Deben at the company headquarters and informed him to prepare his pockets to pick five-finger peaches tomorrow morning. Then I returned to Uncle Geng and told Uncle Sun that the reconnaissance team wanted to go to Muling for "training" tomorrow morning.
Uncle Geng was happy when he heard this, "Do you still think of Chongling?"
"Hey, Uncle Geng still knows what I'm thinking."
"It's okay. Since you guys came here, my small courtyard has been very clean. The water tank is always full, and I can't even use up the soil for the pig pen in a year." Uncle Geng was telling the truth, and he also I especially like the soldiers in the reconnaissance squad.
"Can we do it at eight o'clock tomorrow?"
"Okay, is there anyone else?"
"There are few people this time, just our reconnaissance team and two leaders."
"OK."
After receiving Uncle Geng's approval, Wang Ke immediately arranged for Song Ruimin to notify the wireless class and telephone class, allowing them to organize training on their own in a few days, while the reconnaissance class brought a maza, a drawing board, a shooting ruler and a calculator to follow their own instructions tomorrow. Go to Mulingli for training.
"yes!"
Song Ruiming left, and Gu Maolin went out to play with his harmonica and flute. He was now very good at playing.
Wang Ke suddenly remembered that there were several unread letters in yesterday's package. So he opened the shell box, took out the letters, sat on the kang, and read them carefully.
When people feel homesick, the first thing they want to read is letters from home.
Wang Ke first took out his parents' letter and read it again. In the letter, his parents not only asked him to consider personal issues, but also gave him a timetable, hoping that he would take a family leave and come back to meet a girl.
Parents are the most anxious about their children's marriage. How old are you? Why should a man worry about not having a wife? Wang Ke smiled, closed the letter and thought for a moment, then took out Wu Xiangyu's letter again. This time he read it more carefully.
Wang Ke frowned as he read it. He didn't pay attention to it yesterday, but now he realized it. It said that the director of their hospital invited her to his home again on the weekend. Moreover, the dean's son, the instructor of a certain company, also came back, and the chat about the company was very fresh.
What does it mean? He was a guest again, and his son also came home, which was a lot of information.
Was Wu Xiangyu hinting to him that someone was starting to have her eye on her? If he could go back a few months and see Wu Xiangyu's letter, Wang Ke would definitely be very happy, because when Qin Hu saw Wu Xiangyu's eyes, he still had the intention to bring them together. However, now and then, Wang Ke now feels a sour feeling in his heart.
In other words, how can the cabbage in your garden be allowed to be eaten by pigs? No, I have to write a letter quickly and ask her to ask for leave to come to Xishan for a visit to consolidate the relationship. No, it should be called to strengthen the confidence. My own lukewarmness will inevitably create gaps that allow the "pig" to take advantage of.
But then I thought about it, is it okay to do this myself? It's better to think about it again. If it rains or you get married, just let it happen.
Thinking of this, Wang Ke took out the last letter. This is Ye Xianqian's, and it's the only letter that he just opened and put back yesterday without reading it at all.
As soon as I opened the letter, a photo fell out. Although the photo was a bit blurry, Wang Ke still yelled because that photo captured a snake, to be precise, it was a photo of half a snake's tail.
This Ye Pianqiang, she was still very scared that day in the donkey shed of her godfather Dong Pianfang in Nanshao, and she only managed to take a photo of half of the snake's tail, which was a pity.
Read the letter quickly to see what shocking news it brings you.
At this glance, I really saw the message. Her father has asked many experts to verify that this is a new species that has never been found north of the Yellow River in China. Already believe in the real existence of this cockscomb snake. I am preparing to take people to Nanshao Village for further investigation.
Instead of searching all over the world, why not come to Longquanzhuang? The eagle's beak here is like a golden cobra. It is estimated that Professor Ye Rongguang would be even more excited if he knew that the rare golden cobra in China was found in the western mountainous area.
I have already learned about the geological structure of Xishan. For example, why do species found in Longquanzhuang appear in the south of the Yangtze River, no, it should be further south, south of the Pearl River? Isn't this more interesting?
Wang Ke could no longer stand the sight of Ye Qianqian's flirting with each other in the back. All he could think about now was snakes, cockscombs, golden cobras, and this snake stone.
He took out a pen and paper and started writing a reply.
The first letter was written to Ye Pianpian, and the first thing was about snakes. Ask her to quickly tell Professor Ye Rongguang that he discovered the golden cobra, the five-fingered peach, and the poisonous lake at the Eagle's Mouth in the Western Mountains. Moreover, Wang Ke also recounted in detail how he and Gu Maolin climbed up the eagle's mouth, and how they met the golden cobra, including the story of how he picked up a glassy snake stone as clear as a diamond.
At the end of the letter, I inevitably didn't ask about my godfather, my godmother, the development of Dong's natural glue and donkey blood, and Xiao Hei. Of course, greetings to Godfather Wen and concern for the development of ancient river channels are also indispensable.
After writing this whole thing, there were nearly ten pieces of letter paper. Ye Xianxuan must have been very excited when he read it.
The second letter must have been written to Wu Xiangyu. He expressed his gratitude for the watch, sweater and money she sent. He inevitably talked about the scenery of the Xishan Mausoleum Group, which was naturally beautiful and auspicious. Especially Mu Ling and Chongling, who are about to go on an expedition, are endlessly tempting. At the end of the letter, she intentionally or unintentionally talked about the command platoon. Since she already suspected that she was leading troops, she told her the truth. Officially acting as platoon leader.
This letter was not long, only two pieces of paper. Wang Ke didn't mention anything about the old dean's invitation to Wu Xiangyu to come home as a guest. If he wanted to ask more, he would be overthinking it.
I also need to reply to my parents' letters, which are even shorter, with only one piece of paper. I mainly want to report that I'm safe and talk about work. I won't talk about anything else for the time being.
After the three letters were written, Wang Ke immediately called Digua Liang Xiaolong and asked him to hand them over to the sergeant and be sure to send them out tomorrow.
Once it has been underground for two hundred years, it is surrounded by lotus branches and blue and white flowers. There are so many interesting things to tell about culture, and the historical sites of the ages are right in front of you.
Early the next morning, reconnaissance squad leader Song Ruimin gathered his team, lightly dressed and simple, and walked towards Muling with Wang Ke.
Before reaching the three-hole bridge in front of the mausoleum, I saw the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun, deputy company commander Lu Zeran, and health worker Yu Deben already walking around on the bridge.
"Hello, Chief!" Wang Ke deliberately teased. Then he took the three of them to the main hall in front of the mausoleum, waiting only for the landlord, Uncle Geng.
In just one bag of cigarettes, the landlord, Uncle Geng, arrived carrying a dung basket. He walked over as if nothing had happened. After seeing that no one was around, he took out his key and opened the side door, letting the group of people in. Next, he locked the side door again.
The reconnaissance squad has already been here once, and there is nothing new for the soldiers. Find a side hall and, under the leadership of squad leader Song Ruimin, really start training on drawing board work.
The health worker Yu Deben was very purposeful. He took his pocket and a pole with enough hairy peaches and went directly to pick the hairy peaches.
Only Wang Ke was left, and he took the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun and deputy company commander Lu Zeran to visit the Muling.
After seeing Long'en Hall, go through to the back.
Standing on the Long En Hall and looking to the west, there is another flat stone bridge.
There are five hollow bridge stone slabs on each side of the bridge, and there are bridge pillars carved with coiled dragons on both sides. The entire stone bridge is made of white marble. Cross the stone bridge and go up the stairs. Behind it is a stone archway with four pillars and three bays instead of the mausoleum gate. This stone archway is still white marble.
In addition to golden nanmu, Muling is made of white marble. These two features are unique to the entire Xishan tomb complex, making it even more elegant and luxurious.
After passing the mausoleum gate, not far away, you can see a group of beautifully carved stone offerings that are as tall as one person.
The Stone Five Offering is an offering table carved from stone. The base is a Xumizuo carved from three white marble boulders. There are five offerings symbolizing permanent sacrifices on it. There are two symmetrical vases on both sides, and further inside are two symmetrical large candlesticks, with a large cauldron in the middle. There are cylindrical offerings in the cauldron.
On the four sides of this five-stone offering are the vase, candlestick and cauldron, which are engraved with patterns such as the Eight Immortals, the Eight Treasures, Bagua, chess, music, calligraphy and painting.
It seems that all cultures are included. Deputy company commander Lu Zeran is fine, but veteran platoon leader Hu Zhijun is obviously more interested.
Behind the Stone Wugong is the Baocheng and the underground palace. Dengbao City also has three gates, all made of white marble. The steps in the middle are wide and large, and the steps on both sides are slightly smaller. Only royal relatives and nobles can come to worship, while princes and ministers can only walk two steps. side, and then circle the underground palace three times clockwise to complete it.
Deputy company commander Lu Zeran had already gone to Baocheng and the underground palace to go around by himself. The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun stopped at Shi Wu Gong. He turned left and right, stroking these mottled white marble stone carvings with one hand, while sighing at the wisdom of the working people hundreds of years ago.
As he walked, he stopped and murmured: "Weird, weird, really weird. How could this happen?"
When Wang Ke heard this, he immediately ran over. "Platoon commander, what did you find?"
"Commander platoon commander, look at the stone carvings on this base."
Wang Ke took a look and saw that it was a group of Eight Immortals crossing the sea. "There's nothing strange about this, Platoon Commander."
"Look carefully."
Wang Ke paid attention to it. He Xiangu rode a deer, Lu Dongbin rode a horse, Han Xiangzi rode an elephant, Zhang Guolao rode a donkey, Han Zhongli rode a unicorn, Lan Caihe rode a sheep, Cao Guojiu rode a dragon horse, and Tieguai Li followed. Behind a tiger.
Wang Ke still didn't see it.
"Command the platoon commander, should Tieguai Li ride the tiger?"
right! In The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Tieguai Li should be riding a tiger, but in the picture of this base, Tieguai Li is not riding a tiger, but the tiger is in front and he is behind, running with the tiger. What about going against tradition?
"What's going on?" asked the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun.
"Oh, I understand, this is to avoid taboos. This emperor is also the most cautious and timid emperor in history. His father is a dragon, and he is a tiger, and dragons and tigers fight. So he dare not in the entire mausoleum area To engrave a tiger publicly, we can only use the excuse of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea to carve a stone tiger to protest."
When Wang Ke and the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun said this, they both felt like they had discovered a new world.
"But what's the point of running with the tiger in front?" asked the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun.
"How can a tiger be ridden by a human? This is called letting the tiger return to the mountain. If we go by the order, Tieguai Li should be ranked seventh, but now he is ranked first. He has completely become the head of the Eight Immortals and the commander-in-chief of crossing the sea to suppress the dragon. !”
Wang Ke's explanation made the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun nod his head repeatedly. It's true, it seems that the dead also fight openly and secretly, but no one has ever deciphered it.
"Huh?" Wang Ke yelled again.
The old platoon leader Hu Zhijun stretched his head to take a look. Where Wang Ke's eyes were, there were three more carved marks on the base below the tiger.
"What's all the fuss about? With such a heavy base made of three stones, there will inevitably be scratches during installation."
"No, no, this was clearly carved by later generations." Wang Ke couldn't explain the same carved symbols under the bridge, so he just discussed the matter. Wang Ke no longer paid attention to the questions of the old platoon leader Hu Zhijun. He looked in the direction of the three scratches, but there was nothing suspicious. It is impossible to hide anything on such a large base, as it points to the ground and the sky. The one in the middle is even more eccentric, pointing diagonally to one side.
What does it mean?
Wang Ke felt that this was definitely not unintentional, but he should write down what it meant first.
