Chapter 246 I believe in the pot anyway

Later, Wan Li went to the reconnaissance company for six years and served as the soldier king for six years.

Field War specifically asked the leader to ask Wan Li to go from the reconnaissance company to the field unit, but the leader of the reconnaissance company refused.

Because of Wan Li's existence, the combat effectiveness of the reconnaissance company has been improved to a higher level than before. The leader said that Wan Li was born for fighting.

It wasn't until he was selected by the department that Wan Li realized that this was the real battlefield of the King of Soldiers.

"Qin Feng, aren't you bored because you haven't spoken for a long time? Why don't you tell us the results you just calculated so that everyone can analyze them."

Facing the expectant looks in their eyes, I told them the results I had calculated previously.

Wanli was happy that at least he had a clear direction, which would save him a lot of time. Regarding the hexagram about seeing the car, Wanli also thought there might be deviations. This place could only be reached by plane.

Chujiu just said that he believed in Guo Guo anyway. Seeing Wan Li staring at him, he added that he also believed in Master Wan Li.

At night, Wan Li couldn't sleep and kept tossing and turning, which made her scold her classmates who had hemorrhoids in the dormitory in the ninth grade. Wan Li was not as dishonest as Wan Li.

Wan Li jumped up from the bed and stared at Chujiu. It was not because he thought of Chujiu snoring and talking in his sleep that he felt uneasy and couldn't fall asleep.

"How about we make a bet? If I don't snore even once tonight, you treat Guoguo and I to eat spicy (that) Tianla (that) hot pot. If I snore, I'll treat you, and leave no one else alone. (Liar)

) is a turtle."

When Wan Li saw Chu Jiu's old fox-like smile, he suddenly felt unsure.

I got up and changed a candle, and saw that the time on my watch was just after nine o'clock.

Probably thinking that it would be long enough until morning, it would be impossible for the ninth day of the lunar month to go without calling, so he agreed immediately, and then said that he couldn't stay up all night just for a hot pot meal.

I nodded in agreement. With my urine on the ninth day of the lunar month, it was very possible for me to stay up all night for a delicious meal.

Chujiu curled his lips in disdain, he had never used such low-level methods.

Wan Li whistled and was about to lie back on the bed with a happy expression when he saw Chu Jiuyin take out a piece of talisman paper from the small cloth bag on his waist with a smile.

"You don't?"

When Wan Li saw Chujiu take out the talisman, he already knew that he lost. By the time he shouted helplessly, Chujiu had already finished reciting the talisman silently and fell on the bed.

It was so quiet all night that I wasn't used to it, and instead felt sleepy. The sound of Wanli's even breathing, the sound of the wind outside, and the occasional chirping of birds were so clear.

It was just dawn, and Chujiu woke up almost at the same time as Wan Li. Chujiu once again hummed a little tune and enthusiastically held the last pot of water to cook.

I don’t know what Chujiu was thinking, so he threw two compressed biscuits into the travel pot. The biscuits almost absorbed all the soup, choking and making the three of us burp.

In order to make up for his mistake, Chujiu took the initiative to wash the tableware.

"Today's mission is to go west!"

Wan Li pointed to the woods to the west, prompting everyone to set off.

"Westward journey? Are you Zhu Bajie on the way to seek Buddhist scriptures?"

On the ninth day of the lunar month, he did not forget to tease Wan Li, who had ignored him all morning. He hummed "I Dare to Ask Where is the Way" in his mouth, picked up a branch, and skipped ahead.

"You carry the burden, you lead the horse, welcome the sunrise, bid farewell to the sunset. Smooth the bumps into a road, overcome the hardships and eat hot pot, eat hot pot, la la, la la la la..."

Wan Li, who was following behind, chased after him furiously.

There is only one path in the woods to the west. It is said to be a path, but it is actually just the traces left by people walking before.

In more than an hour, we reached the top of the first mountain.

"Look! Guo Guo, spicy! Over there!"

Chujiu stood on a flat boulder and pointed excitedly down the mountain.

"Railway, there is a train! Guo Guo, I said I believe you, right? Does this count as seeing a train in the hexagram?"

Following the direction of Chujiu's finger, at the foot of the mountain as far as the naked eye could see, a linear train could be vaguely seen passing by.

"It's always a good sign, let's keep looking."

I'm still not sure that this hexagram refers to a train, but in this mountainous forest environment, seeing a train at this time is also a good sign, at least it means that the destination is getting closer.

"Huh? There's something over there."

Wan Li made a confused sound, jumped into the woods nearby, and then walked towards us with a small, strange-shaped shovel in his hand.

"This is a standard engineer shovel. Why is it here? It's something from the army!"

The engineer's shovel originally looked like this, and it didn't look as useful as the big shovel at home in the countryside.

Wan Li saw my doubts and explained to me that despite its small size, the engineer shovel is made of unusual steel and is easy to carry around. Some small spaces must be excavated with it.

"Could it be that it was dropped by the previous geological expedition team?"

The only possibility I can think of is this. Wan Li first clearly answered that the geological survey used similar ones, with special geological shovels. Later, he was not sure, maybe he used an engineer shovel.

Continuing to explore along the path, watching Chu Jiu pull open the folding handle of the engineer shovel and dig holes in the wall, I suddenly had an idea in my mind.

"The key in the hexagram! The key! The key!"

In response to my sudden exclamation, Chujiu stopped and Wanli asked me what happened to the key?

I pointed to the engineering shovel in Chujiu's hand. The hexagram showed that it was a tool for opening certain places. Because Wan Li picked up a key rope, I mistakenly thought that the hexagram was talking about keys.

It wasn't until I saw the engineer shovel in Chujiu's hand just now, and combined with the content of the hexagram, that I realized that the hexagram should refer to this engineer shovel.

"Wait, let me think about it again, sapper shovel, sapper shovel, sapper shovel, where have you heard of this?"

I sat under the tree next to me and began to recall things about the engineer shovel in my mind. My grandfather must have read about it or in a book, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Chujiu squatted on the spot, dug a hole on the ground in front of him with his engineering shovel out of boredom, and threw the insects on the side to play with.

"Brother Wanli, let's go back! Look around where you picked up the engineer shovel!"

I touched Chujiu’s head, and this time the playful Chujiu really inspired me.

When I saw him digging a hole in the ground, I remembered that the Luoyang shovel my grandfather told me was not only used by archaeological teams, but also by tomb robbers.

A group of professional overseas tomb robbers was once captured by the police in Shanxi. They used military shovels.

"Guo Guo, why do overseas tomb robbing gangs go to Shanxi instead of Shaanxi? There should be more cultural relics in Shaanxi, right?"

On the way back, Chujiu actually asked why the tomb robber gang didn't choose Shaanxi. His brain circuit was really unusual. Everyone was thinking about this exploration mission, so he was the only one who would think about these strange questions.

“Three thousand years of history look at China, five thousand years of history look at Shanxi.”

“Look at Shaanxi for underground cultural relics and Shanxi for above-ground cultural relics.”

Wan Li threw out two sentences without looking back, and by the way, he criticized the illiteracy of the ninth year of junior high school.

I began to explain to Chujiu the meaning of Wanli’s second sentence. If we only take the literal meaning, there must be more underground cultural relics in Shaanxi than in Shanxi.

This refers to large-scale unearthed cultural relics buildings. When looking at Shaanxi underground, we mainly talk about the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Shaanxi. When looking at Shanxi above ground, it means that Shanxi has the largest number of preserved ancient buildings in the country.

Except for most of the well-known Pingyao Ancient City, Wutai Mountain, Xuankong Temple, etc., any wooden pagoda in a small county town is the only one in the world.

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, also called Sakyamuni Pagoda, full name is Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple, is the oldest and tallest existing wooden pagoda in the world.

Together with the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, it is also known as the "Three Wonderful Towers in the World". It is recognized by Guinness World Records as the tallest wooden tower in the world.

The entire tower consumes 3,000 cubic meters of red pine wood and more than 2,600 tons. The entire tower is a pure wooden structure. Two tooth relics of Sakyamuni Buddha are enshrined in the tower.

According to archaeologists' guess, 80% of my country's first-class cultural relics are hidden underground in Shanxi. Therefore, overseas tomb robbing gangs are professional gangs, and at least they have talents who have special research on our country's history.

While Chujiu and I were chatting, we walked to the place where we found the engineer's shovel.

Wan Li squatted down and stared at the nearby ground for a while, then pointed in a direction and told us that someone had walked in this direction before. Although the traces are not obvious now, if you look carefully, you can still find them.

"Guo Guo, did you find anything?" Chujiu, who was following Wan Li, asked in a low voice.

"Probably there is a tomb or something."

I didn't hide anything and told Chujiu my guess.

When I read the case summary before, it was introduced that one of the deceased mountain rangers had been a soldier when he was young and had served in the engineering force.

This well explains why the previous generation of engineer shovels appeared.

After more than ten minutes of walking, Wan Li stopped and stared at a big pit in front of him.

"Holy crap! Guo Guo, you said this is a tomb? It doesn't look like Sa to me."

Chujiu stared at the pit in front of him. The pit was dug out diagonally, one meter square and two meters deep. The excavated soil was piled aside.

"Look at this!"

Wan Li found an exposed corner of the stone in the mound, grabbed the engineering shovel from Chujiu's hand, and shoveled away the soil on top.

"It turns out that this is what it means to see a car in the hexagram!"

Chu Jiu excitedly gave me a thumbs-up gesture, saying that my calculation ability was half as good as Master Qin's.

Wan Lixiao asked why he was only half as good as Mr. Qin when he was so powerful. Chujiu replied that it was because he was only half as good as the old man.

After clearing away the soil, what was revealed was a round stone mound, shaped like a chess piece, with a "rook" carved on it.

"Such a big chess piece, or is it a stone that is being played by a giant?"

Chujiu tried to lift the stone pier with his hands, but it didn't move at all. He curled his lips and said dissatisfied.

"Qin Feng, what do you think this thing is used for?"

Wan Li returned the engineering shovel to Chujiu, stared at Shidun Xiangqi, and asked with a frown.

"King of Soldiers, are you stupid? I can see that this stone chess piece is meant to block the entrance of the hole."

Chujiu pointed to the half-meter-high circular hole under the pit, and then pointed to the stone chess pieces at Wan Li's feet.
