After a brief acquaintance, the five of them bought tickets and entered the scenic spot. Soon, following the instructions, they boarded the majestic Mutianyu Great Wall like other tourists.
Standing on the high ancient city wall, Xue Chen held on to the battlements and took a deep breath of the cool air. He squinted and looked into the distance. His field of vision was extremely broad. He could only see green mountains and pines, red leaves and dead branches everywhere. It was so beautiful that it felt like a great country.
The feeling of seeing everything in front of my eyes makes people unable to help but feel extremely proud. If it were in ancient times, there would definitely be the urge to fight on the battlefield and make achievements.
Xue Chen stood by the wall and watched, and Gao Dewei stood aside without moving. As a result, the other three young men and women who planned to walk along the city wall also had to stop.
Jin Junjie glanced at Xue Chen and whispered to Gao Feifei: "Your third uncle seems to respect this Xue Chen very much. Don't you know him?"
Gao Feifei shook her head, feeling a little surprised.
Chai Churan was taking pictures everywhere with a camera.
Xue Chen paused for a moment and then continued to move forward with the others.
"Brother Xue, do you think the bricks of the Great Wall can be considered antiques?" Gao Dewei touched the battlements and asked with a smile.
"Theoretically speaking, it is true, but along the way, I discovered that this section of the Great Wall has been restored, and it has been a large-scale overall transformation. Basically, everything you step on and can touch with your hands is made with modern technology.
The mud bricks are just old, so you can’t tell, but in fact they are no longer the original Great Wall,” Xue Chen said.
"Oh?" Gao Dewei touched his chin.
"But this is understandable. According to records, this section of the Mutianyu Great Wall was built on the site of the Great Wall of the Northern Qi Dynasty by General Xu Da under the instructions of Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty. It has gone through more than 500 years and must have been in dilapidated condition.
Protective restoration is inevitable. In five hundred years, no matter how exquisite the craftsmanship is, the masonry will have become brittle."
Xue Chen held on to the battlements and glanced at the foundation below the city wall. His eyes moved slightly, and he could faintly feel that there were some spiritual energy scattered on the foundation of the city wall, which should be the remaining city bricks from hundreds of years ago.
Gao Dewei nodded suddenly.
The three young men and women walking on the other side also heard the conversation between the two. They were all secretly surprised when they saw Xue Chen pointing out the repair of the city wall and the history of this section of the Great Wall.
Gao Feifei was outspoken and turned around and asked: "Xue Chen, did you specifically check the information about the Mutianyu Great Wall on the Internet before coming here?"
Before Xue Chen could speak, Gao Dewei scolded: "Call Mr. Xue, no matter how old or young you are, according to your seniority, you should be called Uncle Xue Chen."
Xue Chen said hurriedly: "No, I'm a few years older than them, just call me Xue Chen." He felt awkward when he thought of a little girl who was a few years younger than him calling him uncle.
"Okay then." Gao Dewei agreed.
Xue Chen pointed at his head: "Remember it all here." He came here on a temporary basis. How could he go out of his way to investigate the information? Since graduating from college, he has not stopped studying. Plus, he has the ability to rejuvenate.
With his strengthened brain, it took him more than a month to learn even French, which is said to be very difficult to learn. It is naturally not difficult to master the knowledge of historical sites across the country.
Gao Feifei said oh, but she looked dubious.
Gao Dewei added: "I told you before, Xue Chen is not an ordinary person. He is an expert in antique appraisal and has profound knowledge. Once you have more contact with him, you will know what he is capable of."
Gao Dewei repeatedly praised Xue Chen, but the three college students did not take it seriously, because Xue Chen was too young, a few years older than them, and it seemed that he had only graduated from college for a year or two. No matter how powerful he was, he could have such great achievements.
How much ability?
Gao Feifei smiled, came over and asked, "Third uncle, I remember you introduced Xue Chen as a qigong master when you were outside. Did I hear wrongly?"
Chai Churan and Jin Junjie, who kept taking pictures along the way, both looked over and were obviously very curious about this matter.
Gao Dewei cleared his throat: "You heard right, Xue Chen is indeed a qigong master."
Gao Feifei looked at Xue Chen, who was walking in front with his hands behind his back, and muttered: "Qigong master?"
"Okay, you just need to know. Don't ask any more questions." Gao Dewei waved his hand, not wanting to talk too much about Xue Chen in front of too many people, fearing that Xue Chen would be unhappy.
Jin Junjie frowned and whispered to Gao Feifei: "Feifei, how come your third uncle is so superstitious and still believes in the so-called qigong master?"
Gao Feifei pouted and couldn't explain clearly what her third uncle was thinking, that he had such respect for a qigong master?
Chai Churan also came over and reminded in a low voice: "Feifei, I think you should remind your third uncle that I have read some articles on the Internet. There is a group of people who rely on some deception and magic to deceive those with power and money.
To seek profit."
"Okay, I will remind my third uncle." Gao Feifei nodded heavily and decided to remind her third uncle not to be deceived after she separated from Xue Chen.
From a distance, the group could see a tall building like a bunker standing on the city wall, which is the Big Turret, a very famous scenic spot on the Mutianyu Great Wall.
Gao Feifei approached Xue Chen and Gao Dewei with ulterior motives, and asked Xue Chen with a smile: "That's the big turret, right? What is it used for, Xue Chen, you must know it, right?"
Xue Chen glanced at Gao Feifei, whose thoughts were written on his face, with a half-smile, and said in a deep voice: "Well, according to historical records, it is the dividing line between the Jizhen Great Wall and the Changzhen Great Wall. Look,
The Grand Turret is the commanding height of this section of the city wall. Standing on it, you have an extremely wide view. You can have a panoramic view of both the inside and outside of the Great Wall. It is the only place where the army must pass when advancing or retreating, and it can play a very good warning role."
Gao Feifei was a little surprised when she heard that Xue Chen not only explained the purpose of the Big Corner Tower, but also the division of land in ancient times. She thought that even if she had checked the relevant information before arriving, she would not be able to remember it so clearly.
Bar.
She did this because she naturally wanted to test whether Xue Chen really had real talents or had other agendas.
At this moment, Chai Churan, who was following on the other side, suddenly screamed, followed by Jin Junjie's angry rebuke: "What's wrong with you? You ran so fast on the city wall and knocked down someone, you know?"
?”
Xue Chen and the others turned around and walked over. They saw Jin Junjie stopping a man in his thirties with an angry expression.
Chai Churan was standing up with one hand on the battlement.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It's obvious that she has no eyesight and is blocking the road. How can you blame me?" The man who hit the person crossed his legs and said sideways, as if it was not my fault. He looked like he was gone.
Knife meat.
Chai Churan bit his lip, turned around sadly and said, "My camera was knocked off."
She was just about to take a photo of the large turret, but she was suddenly hit hard from behind. It didn't matter that the person fell to the ground. What made her anxious was that the camera flew out of her hands and fell down the Great Wall.
When everyone looked down through the gap in the battlement, the man who hit the man took the opportunity to slip away.
Jin Junjie was about to chase after him, but Gao Dewei persuaded him: "Forget it, there's no need to argue with this kind of person, it will only make you angrier."
"My camera..." Chai Churan looked below the Great Wall and found her camera, which happened to be hung on a sling on a branch of a shrub under the city wall.
"Forget it, classmate Chai, if you drop it, drop it. If you can't get it, Uncle Gao will give you a SLR later." Gao Dewei waved his hand nonchalantly.
Chai Churan shook her head sadly. This camera meant a lot to her. She bought it with the money she earned after working for a month after the college entrance examination. She didn't buy a mobile phone or a computer, she just bought a camera because she likes to take beautiful pictures.
photos, so I take great care of this camera. I have used it for more than a year and it still looks like new.
More importantly, the camera stores many photos she took in the past two or three months.
Gao Feifei looked around and saw that there was no village or shop in front of her. They were all tourists and there was no staff. Even if there were staff, it would be difficult to get it back.
This section of the Great Wall is very high, about five or six meters above the muddy ground below, and is as high as a two-story building. Unless you have a long ladder, you can't get down at all.
Xue Chen glanced at the camera that had fallen on a tree branch. He could easily grab it with a wave of his hand using Yutong's control ability, but of course he wouldn't do that.
Glancing at Chai Churan, whose eyes were red, he thought for a moment and said in a casual tone: "I'll go down and get it."
"Xue Chen, what did you say? Go down and get it?" Gao Feifei, who was comforting Chai Churan, asked in surprise.
Jin Junjie also looked at Xue Chen with incomprehensible eyes. How could he raise such a high city wall? He really couldn't figure it out. If he could figure it out, he would have done it long ago.
Gao Dewei's expression changed and he looked at Xue Chen.
Xue Chen didn't say anything more, he stood beside the city wall, turned over slightly, and stood on the battlements.
This scene shocked some tourists passing by, and they all started shouting.
"What is this person doing? How dangerous it is to stand there!"
"Is this man going to jump over the city wall?"
"Where are the staff, come and stop him!"
Amidst the shouts and shouts, Xue Chen jumped down easily.
Hula la.
Except for Gao Dewei and the three college students, a dozen passing tourists all swarmed over. They leaned on the wall and looked down. They saw that Xue Chen had landed firmly on the ground. He walked over to get the camera hanging on the tree branch.
, couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
But they were all confused again. If a person jumped down, how could he get back up? The city wall was six meters high, and there wasn't even a place to borrow strength.
Before everyone could think about it, Xue Chen had already turned around and walked to the base of the Great Wall. Before they could see clearly, Xue Chen stepped on the wall and climbed up in two or two as if by magic!
"Kung Fu, Kung Fu!" A young white man exclaimed excitedly. (To be continued)
