In the autumn of 1893 (the 19th year of Guangxu), revolutionary Lu Haodong lived in Tingtao Pavilion in Youlie and designed the Blue Sky and White Sun Flag, which was the predecessor of the national flag of the Republic of China.
On this flag, cyan represents light and purity, nation and freedom. White represents frankness and selflessness, civil rights and equality.
The twelve rays of light in the day represent the twelve months of the year and the twelve hours of the day. They also symbolize the lifeblood of the country. They will last forever in the world as time goes by and encourage the people of the country to keep pace with the times and strive for self-improvement.
The blue sky and white sun are a grand and beautiful image. China is a big country in the Far East, and the sun rises highest in the east. The blue sky and white sun show that the light is shining on the meaning of freedom and equality.
As a "foreigner", Jelina and Tang Peng grew up under the red flag. Their feelings when they saw this flag were far less powerful than those words.
But Shan Xiao was so respectful that he slowly raised his hand to the flag and gave a decent military salute.
The wind blows, blowing through the solemnity of Xiao Sha!
All three people noticed that there was a small circular hole about a foot below the font, which should be where the key was inserted.
Shan Xiao took a deep breath, combined the two keys into one, slowly inserted them into the keyhole of the stone door, and tried to twist them left and right.
The key is a reverse switch - Shan Xiao's hands slowly turned as the key turned. When it turned 180 degrees, a slight click sound suddenly sounded inside the stone door.
Shan Xiao released the key and quickly took two steps back.
At the same time, Jelina also grabbed Tang Peng's hand and asked in a low voice: "Tang Peng, tell me - is it like the Egyptian pyramids, with many poisonous insects that can kill people?"
"How is that possible? How many years have the Egyptian pyramids been there? How old is this temple?"
Tang Peng smiled and shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on the stone door.
Despite Tang Peng's relaxed tone, he was actually quite uneasy. After all, it was really weird to see such a building that shouldn't exist in a tropical virgin forest.
What's more, he now also knows that this is the place where the remains of the 93rd Army of the Nationalist Army are stored. Coupled with the four traditional Chinese characters that are very heart-wrenching to read, of course there will be a certain amount of mental pressure.
Of course, the curiosity that humans possess still outweighs this fear of unfamiliar objects.
What's more, they are not afraid of a girl who is just laughing and standing in front of them. If he drags Jelina and turns around and runs away, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
The sound of rattling, rattling became louder and louder. The stone door slowly slid into the wall on the right side. A dark wind that could not be seen with the naked eye, but could be clearly felt, slowly blew out from behind the stone door.
Tang Peng and the other three immediately held their breath.
Soon, the gloomy wind disappeared in the forest.
Except that there is a rectangular black hole in front of us, nothing has changed. The ancestral hall is still the same ancestral hall, the people are still the same three people, and the birds in the distance are still singing happily.
It seems that even if you don't use a key to open this stone door and smash it open with a sledgehammer, there seems to be no problem.
The four words carved on the stone door probably only served as a deterrent - Tang Peng and the other three thought so.
After waiting for about three or four minutes, Dan Xiao, who was standing at the front, put down his hand covering his mouth and nose, and took out a torch and two flashlights from his bag.
Turning around and handing the flashlight to Tang Peng and Jelina, Shan Xiao lit the torch, walked to the door, and stretched the torch sideways.
Although nothing escaped from the door, in an old building that has not been opened for at least ten years, who knows if the air inside has changed?
Sure enough, when Shan Xiao put the torch behind the stone door, before the three of them could see what was inside, the burning torch suddenly dimmed.
As we watched, the flames became smaller and smaller, and just when they were about to extinguish, they slowly grew larger. After a few minutes, the flames took on a normal appearance.
"Let's go in."
Shan Xiao turned her head and said something, and raised her foot first to step inside - just as she raised her right foot, she heard Tang Peng shout in a low voice: "Wait a minute, be careful about what mechanism is underground!"
If there is nothing strange inside the stone door, why did Master Shan have to wait for the two keys to merge into one before he can open it after he left his last words?
Even if you don't have the key, wouldn't it be enough to blow it open with explosives or smash the stone door directly with a sledgehammer?
After receiving Tang Peng's warning, Shan Xiao immediately retracted his feet.
Tang Peng took a flashlight and quickly came to the stone door. He did not look inside in a hurry, but raised his head and observed the top and the left and right sides before bending down and looking at the ground inside.
The ground inside the ancestral hall is paved with bluestone slabs, with a thick architectural style. Even though this ancestral hall has existed for half a century to this day, it is only dilapidated on the outside, but there is only a thin layer of dust on the ground inside.
"Tang Peng, give it!"
Just as Tang Peng held up a flashlight to carefully observe whether there was any problem with the bluestone slab, Jelina handed over a branch.
A short dagger was stabbed on the top of the branch.
Tang Peng picked up the branches and slowly tapped the bluestones with his dagger, listening to the movement of each stone slab.
He struck a dozen stones in succession, and the stone slabs all made the same crisp sound, without any tendency to trigger any mechanisms.
After taking back the branch, Tang Peng handed it to Jelina and said to Shan Xiao: "You can go in, but you'd better not put the torch under your feet, because over there - here, see the rope end at the base of the wall
Is it there? If I guessed correctly, it should be a waterproof fuse for explosives!"
Shan Xiao was startled, and quickly raised the torch and looked toward the wall.
A rope as thick as a finger snaked along the wall to the distance, and finally extended underground.
Looking at the rope, Tang Peng held up a flashlight and looked upward behind the stone door, then lowered his head again and tapped a certain stone slab with his hand. Then he suddenly realized: "Oh, I know what's going on!"
…
Above and behind the stone door hangs a long iron bar weighing dozens of kilograms.
The iron rod was hung on the beam above the ancestral hall by a thin wire rope. The wire rope dipped in butter passed through an iron ring, passed through several small fixed iron rings from above, and was finally locked in a groove behind the stone door.
middle.
If someone uses external force, such as explosives or a sledgehammer to open the stone door, this relatively fragile groove will be destroyed first.
Once the groove is broken, the iron rod will fall and hit a stone slab behind the stone door - and this stone slab is a piece of flint (commonly known as flint). When the iron rod and flint collide violently, a splash will occur.
There were abundant sparks, igniting the explosive fuse at the base of the wall.
What will happen next can only be known by lighting the fuse.
"The real mechanism is on the stone gate, and there is no need to worry about other places."
After Tang Peng carefully explained his reasoning to Shan Xiao and Jelina, he stepped into the ancestral hall, bent down and coiled up the fuse first, and put it aside far away: so as not to wait later.
If you accidentally set it on fire, that would be a big deal.
"Don't worry, when we get out, the fuse will be placed in its original position."
Tang Peng comforted Shan with a smile and raised his flashlight to shine at the front of the ancestral hall.
On the front wall of the ancestral hall hangs a broken military flag with spots of black stains on it.
There is no need to ask, this military flag is the military flag of the 93rd Army of the People's Republic of China.
Under the military flag is a long table that reaches the walls on both sides of the ancestral hall.
On this table, which is more than ten meters long but only tens of centimeters wide, there are dozens of spiritual tablets placed on it.
In the middle of all the spiritual tablets, there are three bronze incense burners filled with incense ashes.
The walls on both sides of the ancestral hall are covered with small cabinets of the same specifications. Each cabinet contains a spiritual tablet, and some also contain a knife or rusty firearm.
These spiritual tablets are the 900 martyrs of the 93rd Division who died in foreign lands.
It is normal for so many spiritual tablets to appear in the ancestral hall, because the ancestral hall itself holds the spiritual tablets.
What is abnormal is that even if Master Shan did not want others to disturb his brothers when he was building this ancestral hall, why would he design a mechanism in the ancestral hall and make the whereabouts of the key to the ancestral hall so mysterious?
There must be secrets in the ancestral hall that others don't know.
However, except for the iron rod hanging above the head, there are only those spiritual tablets and tables and cupboards in the ancestral hall.
When Tang Peng was about to say that everyone should search carefully, he saw Shan Xiao walking up to the spiritual throne in the center, kneeling on the ground gracefully, clasping his hands together, lowering his head slightly and saying in a low voice: "Grandpas, I am the granddaughter of Master Shan Zhengsheng.
Shan Xiao, I took the liberty to come here to disturb you today because my grandfather left his last words, saying that if we get two keys, we can enter the ancestral hall and find a big secret that can shock the world. Please don't blame me..."
Although they kowtowed to some spiritual places and prayed in a funny manner, Tang Peng and Jelina did not laugh. They just stood quietly behind Shan Xiao and bowed their heads in greeting.
After bowing to those spiritual statues for a few times, Shan Xiao stood up and whispered: "Tang Peng, we can search. We will search separately. You look for the cupboards on the side, and I will search..."
Tang Peng shook his head, pointed to the place where Shan Xiao was kneeling and said, "There is no need to look elsewhere. If there is a secret here, it can only be down here!"
The place where Shan Xiao was kneeling was exactly where the explosive fuse extended underground.
Shan smiled for a moment, took out the scimitar from his waist, and tapped the sharp bluestone with the handle.
The bluestone slab made a muffled sound as if there was nothing underneath.
He raised his head and glanced at Tang Peng and the others. Shan Xiao put his scimitar into the crack in the stone and slowly pressed it down - as the scimitar bent, the bluestone slab was tilted up little by little.
When the bluestone was tilted enough to be grasped by hand, Tang Peng bent down, grabbed the bluestone, and lifted it up with a little force.
Under the bluestone slab is a space of half a square meter, like a small cellar.
In the cellar, there is an explosive package-the fuse, which extends outward from here.
Tang Peng carefully lifted up the explosive package and saw an iron ring.
