I wish everyone a happy Spring Festival, all the best, and a happy family!
…
It was an evening, and the smoke of the war had completely dissipated.
The special warm and humid climate in Southeast Asia in the evening makes every evening extremely hot and muggy. The abundant sunlight allows people to avoid wearing bulky clothes, and at the same time, it also nourishes many poisons in the forest, such as poisonous spiders and snakes.
Dan Xiao, who was walking in front, jumped a bungara snake to the side with a bamboo pole. The relaxed expression on his face was like a mainland child catching a butterfly in the park.
Tang Peng, who followed closely behind, was not afraid of this kind of thing, but he still felt very uncomfortable after seeing the way it hissed and spit out poisonous messages.
As for Jelina who was following him, her pretty face had begun to turn a little pale.
As she went deeper into the primeval forest, she even regretted following her into the primeval forest. She just held onto Tang Peng's right hand tightly, like a child.
Even though Jelina created the Jaguar Army six or seven years ago, she was a girl who was born in Siberia after all, and she almost never had the opportunity to come into contact with these poisons.
Turning to look at Jelina, who was still wearing a tight black leather jacket and high-waisted riding boots, Tang Peng smiled and wanted to ask her: Isn't it hot when you cover her up so tightly?
But after seeing her nervous look biting her lips, she couldn't bear to laugh at her: she was worried that Tang Peng would follow Shan Xiao to the virgin forest, so she followed her.
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Tang Peng held her right hand and used a little strength.
Jelina didn't say anything, just nodded.
Looking at Shan Xiao who was waving a machete and cutting off the bushes blocking the road to clear the way, Tang Peng started to talk nonsense in order to liven up the atmosphere: "How about, after staying in Russia for so long, is there any handsome guy pursuing you? Tsk tsk.
, Hey, not to mention, as the saying goes, a person is nourished by the soil and water. I found that since you returned to Russia, your figure has become even better, and your skin has become much more delicate."
Jelina raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "You said I have a great figure and delicate skin, so you must be dazzled. I am an old woman in my thirties, who would pursue me?"
Tang Peng blurted out: "How about I marry you?"
Jelina immediately said: "Okay, as long as you dare to propose to me, I will marry you right away."
"real?"
"real."
"really?"
Tang Peng looked at Jelina's blue eyes and suddenly felt guilty.
"Of course it's fake, what do you think?"
Jelina said calmly and withdrew her hand from Tang Peng's hand.
"Hey, I knew you were making fun of me."
Tang Peng was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head and asked Shan Xiao, who was struggling to clear the way in front: "Xiao Dan, are you sure you didn't go the wrong way? We have been walking for almost two hours, why haven't we seen what you are looking for?"
That ancestral hall you’re talking about?”
Dan Xiao struggled to chop off a leaning branch and gasped, "No, it's not wrong, it's just that I haven't been here for many years."
"Do you want me to clear the way?"
"As the only man among the three of you, you should have realized this long ago!"
Shan Xiao raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and when he was about to hand the scimitar to Tang Peng, he suddenly pointed forward: "Look, that's the ancestral hall over there!"
Tang Peng looked up, and through the cover of branches and leaves, he could faintly see what seemed to be a blue-grey wall more than a hundred meters in front of him.
Seeing the ancestral hall right in front of him, Shan Xiao refused to let Tang Peng clear the way. He waved his scimitar again and started to move forward.
…
This is a house covering an area of about one hundred square meters. It is built with strips of stone, blue bricks, and gray tiles. It is about five or six meters high and has only one door around it.
The stone gate, facing north, is covered with wild vines and moss, and there are also a few inch-long centipedes swimming on it.
The architectural style of the ancestral hall is exactly the same as the main hall of the old courtyard house in Beijing. On the four somewhat ruined eaves, there are actually carvings of the ancient mythical beast Biuan, and there are also three statues of Chaofeng on the high ridge of the roof.
Bi'an and Chaofeng are both children of the dragon according to legend. They symbolize good luck, beauty and majesty, and also have the meaning of deterring demons and eliminating disasters.
In ancient Chinese palaces, these two mythical beasts will appear. They can make the shape of the entire palace both strict and varied, achieving a harmony of solemnity and vividness, a unity of grandeur and exquisiteness, and adding a mysterious atmosphere.
However, all the Chaofeng buildings in China face south and have their backs to the north, but these three Chaofeng statues face north and have their backs to the south.
In Southeast Asia, where wooden buildings are common as residences, when he suddenly saw such an unusual building, let alone Jelina, even Tang Peng found it incredible. He actually had the illusion that he had traveled through time and space.
Shan Xiao stared at the building, and after a moment he whispered: "This is the Martyrs' Shrine built for the fallen soldiers after the 93rd Division was defeated and retreated to Burma. In this ancestral hall, more than 900
There are the remains of martyrs who died in the local area - have you seen the mythical beasts on the roof? The reason why they are in the opposite position to the mythical beasts in China is that they represent that the soldiers always care about the motherland and hope that the heroic spirits can return. Half.
For more than a century, they have been watching, but they can only watch, because except for my father and his friends who came here ten years ago, no other Chinese people have appeared. Tang Peng, you are the first."
Looking at the dilapidated ancestral hall, Tang Peng suddenly felt that there was a sense of solemnity and murderous intent spreading around him, as if the damp air around him had become colder, and he couldn't help but shudder.
Slowly, Tang Peng bent down and bowed deeply.
No matter who the soldiers who stay here forever fought and died for during their lifetime, there is no doubt that they are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties!
Their ancestors and their roots are always in the motherland.
Even if they died in a foreign country and their bodies would remain here forever, their souls would still look forward to their hometown.
They are soldiers.
Chinese soldiers!
Jelina was also affected by the surrounding environment and followed Tang Peng and bent down deeply.
The hot wind in the evening blew through the treetops, and in the faint sound of the wind, there was actually the sound of fighting!
"Thank you, I thank you on behalf of my ancestors."
Shan Xiao turned around and bowed solemnly to Tang Peng and Jelina in return.
Tang Peng straightened his waist, took out the key, and handed it to Shan Xiao.
…
The night she found the key, Shan Xiao took Tang Peng to meet her father.
Shan Xiao's father should be in his sixties, and the older one should be Shan Xiao's grandfather. For this question, Tang Peng was naturally embarrassed to ask more questions. In fact, he also knew in his heart that Shan Xiao's father would definitely not be the only one.
wife.
The old man's legs were atrophied. When he first saw Tang Peng, he thought it was his daughter's new boyfriend. At that time, he struggled to sit up and greeted him warmly.
However, when Tang Peng took out the key and put it on his bed, Lao Dan's originally bloodless face turned pale with a swipe of his face.
As Shan Xiao said, he also has such a key and knows its origin.
Strictly speaking, the key Tang Peng got was only half of a key, because only when the two keys are combined can a certain door panel be opened.
The key to Lao Dan was left by his father, Grandpa Shan Xiao, in the 1970s.
According to Lao Dan, Commander Shan gave him the key before he died and told him: This key is actually only half of the key. If one day, another identical key appears
, just give this key to that person, and if the two keys are combined into one, you can open the stone door of the Martyrs' Shrine in the forest, and see the big secret inside that can shock the world!
As for what secret that shocked the world was hidden in the ancestral hall in the forest, Master Shan did not reveal it until his death. He only warned his son repeatedly: If the key is not complete, you must not open the stone door of the ancestral hall privately, otherwise you will offend the Nine Hundreds
The heroic souls of the martyrs will bring disaster to the descendants of all the soldiers of the 93rd Division!
Lao Dan has always strictly abided by his father's last words. Even if he went to the ancestral hall to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers on the Dragon Boat Festival every May, he never tried to open the stone door of the ancestral hall.
Ten years ago, Lao Dan was betrayed by General Chachai, his legs were disabled, and his three sons were killed. The bad luck of the Shan family's decline made him forget about this ancestral hall and the legend.
However, just when he thought he was going to die with this secret in his life, someone appeared in front of him with the other half of the key.
According to Master Shan's last words, when Old Shan saw the key that Tang Peng took out, he handed over the key he had collected and then recounted the last words left by his father in detail.
Tang Peng must be very interested in this so-called big secret, but he did not take the key. Instead, he suggested that Shan Xiao take the key and both of them go to the ancestral hall in the forest together.
Tang Peng did this to respect the Shan family, which made the Shan family's father and daughter very happy.
…
"Thanks."
Shan Xiao took the key, thanked him in a low voice, and then walked quickly to the stone door in front of the ancestral hall, raised his scimitar and tore off the vines on it.
Under the gaze of Tang Peng and Jelina, Shan Xiao put down his machete, took out a piece of cloth from the satchel he carried with him, lifted it up and wiped it on the moss-covered stone door.
Slowly, as the moss fell off, most of the stone door was gradually revealed.
Jelina's eyes widened and she stared closely at the stone door. When Shan Xiao's hand moved downward, she suddenly said: "Ah, look, there are words carved on the stone door!"
Shan Xiao paused in his wiping action, then sped up his action.
Soon, the lines of fonts etched on the stone door were all displayed in front of the three people.
This is a line of words from top to bottom, a total of four words, and a rectangular pattern.
The font is traditional Chinese characters, each character is as big as the mouth of a sea bowl, and it is carried with a silver hook and an iron stroke, which can penetrate into the stone three-thirds!
The pattern needs to be the size of an unfolded towel, just to the right of the font.
The four big characters are: Trespassers will die!
The pattern is the blue sky and white sun flag!
