Chapter 293: Void Dancer (3)
As it turned out, I made the right decision, grabbed the last chance of life, and escaped from the clutches of the djinn in the small northwestern country.
Thanks to me, whether it is the Northern Emperor disguised as the "Electric Falcon", or the young leader of the Yellow Flower Society, Jian Rong, who belongs to the Pentagon, they are all unscathed, and they have been courteously treated by friends on the other side of the border, and they are completely safe.
I, Jian Rong, and Electric Falcon did not reveal each other's identities, but only claimed that they were ordinary people who were wronged by the military, robbed each other's military jeeps and fled for their lives, and nothing else was known.
Denfalcon contacted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through secret channels, quickly obtained amnesty, and entered the embassy.
"It's safe." It wasn't until the iron door of the embassy slowly closed that the electric falcon breathed a long sigh of relief.
The battle that took place on the lake turned into a "trumped-up" event, none of the media knew about it, and the people on both sides disappeared forever and never existed again.
"That's politics." The electric falcon understands this very well, "Human life is equivalent to a small ant on a dam for the politics of a great power, and the death of 10,000 or 100,000 is just a matter of a snap of a finger." ”
He tried to find out from various sources what the intentions of the country that sent the army and air forces were intended, and finally got the information that the country's national teacher had also seen the flying phantom on the lake, believing that it was an auspicious omen for his country, and that no one else would allow it to be destroyed. That's why he dispatched his army and launched a lightning war of annihilation.
At the same time, the Falcon also got the news that all Asian countries coveted the Dunhuang Heavenly Machine, and no matter how strong or weak the country was, they all sent spy personnel to lurk around Dunhuang, even if they couldn't monopolize the secret, at least they would get a piece of the pie.
Moreover, the good news from Guantanamo is that Jian Pengfei and the others have regained their freedom and entered the espionage channel of the Electric Falcon and sent them to China as quickly as possible. Of course, the electric falcon has not broken its promise, and has already presented the Pentagon with all the information on the "North Pole to the North".
"Help me solve the problem of the ancient stage and return my favor." Electric Falcon said.
The rooms inside the embassy are luxurious, comparable to a five-star hotel.
Living here, the arrogance of the electric falcon slowly recovered, and his attitude towards me and Jian Rong also changed, and he looked like he was on top.
Externally, he was the special envoy of the head of state and the "electric falcon" of the spy dignitary, and the people in the embassy naturally received him with great hospitality, and he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
I don't want to blame him, I just secretly think it's funny.
The heads of state of major countries are just ordinary people, and when faced with multiple crises, they will also panic and be in chaos. If it weren't for me and Jian Rong, he would have become a prisoner of a neighboring country or sent directly to the gallows.
Privately, Jian Rong talked to me three times, and each time he mentioned Jian Pengfei's exploration conclusions on Dunhuang, Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang Tianji, and Jinshan Yinhai Jade Palace.
After escaping death, she admired me so much, her attitude was as humble as a maid, and her words and deeds were in order.
"My grandfather was an expert on Dunhuang culture, and during the Anti-Japanese War, he gave advice to the government several times, hoping to get government support to uncover the secrets of Dunhuang and provide the most powerful help for the end of World War II. It is a pity that the Chongqing government at that time was obsessed with saving the country by force, and would rather give the last bag of silver dollars and the last gold bar to the Americans to buy spears and bullets than support him to go to Dunhuang. Disappointed, my grandfather completely sealed up his ideals, abandoned his strengths and weaknesses, returned to the espionage industry, and lurked in the Wang regime to steal intelligence for the government. When he was framed as a 'traitor' by the media and the people, no one in the Chongqing government came forward to clear his name. He is a patriot, not a traitor, always remembering that he is Chinese and full of bitter hatred for the island country. I guess this time he should be able to see through the Pentagon's ruthless face......" Jian Rong said.
Jian Pengfei is a "celebrity" in the history of the Anti-Japanese War, and is listed as the top assassination target of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party along with Wang. Especially in the Chongqing government, Jian Pengfei's head reward is "1,000 large yellow croaker", which is equivalent to the sum of the government's official expenses for three years.
Fortunately, Jian Pengfei had a great life, escaped death several times, and disappeared and remained incognito after the fall of the Wang regime.
"The Northern Emperor will not let go of Mr. Jian, we have facilitated this exchange, it is just an expedient measure, rescue him from Guantanamo first." I say.
As everyone knows, Guantanamo is one of the ten remaining "death prisons" in the world, and it is impossible to carry out violent rescue.
When you get to the Northern Emperor, even if you are under house arrest, you will have a lot more room to turn around.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Jian Rong thanked him repeatedly.
We don't talk about the battle at the lake anymore, and those living people end up being names or code names on both sides' death rolls, and finally disappear into the dust of history.
Many big politicians and big military strategists have quoted "doing big things without being informal", and the above dead are probably attributed to the "small sections".
Inside the embassy, I had a short respite and spent seven days stress-free.
During the seven days, the Falcon once again described to me what had happened on the ancient stage. Now, when he heard me judge the "flying sky" as a danger signal, he immediately re-analyzed the illusion he saw.
"Everything was a red flag, including that unexpected bouncing lute dance." He took my point one step further, "The more tempting, the more dangerous." ”
When he said something like this, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and express my heartfelt admiration: "Absolutely right, it wins my heart." ”
For thousands of years, human beings regard the "rebound pipa dance" as a model in the field of dance and music, believing that it represents the pinnacle of a pipa technique, and constantly trying to figure out and imitate until the "rebound pipa" repertoire that can be performed, taught and watched has become a major feature of Dunhuang art.
If what the electric falcon said is correct, then many people have misinterpreted the meaning of "bouncing the lute".
"That's a signal, a unique and profound signal. Whoever cracks it will not be far from the secret of Dunhuang Tianji. "I tried to correct the words of the electric falcon.
"Long Fei, how did you think that 'Feitian' was a dangerous omen?" The electric falcon gets to the bottom of it.
That's my sixth sense, but I've seen such a scene in a certain Hong Kong Island magic movie before - the demon king conquers the heavenly realm, swings his claws, grabs the fairy and gnaws it, and frightens the rest of the fairies to lose their faces and flee in all directions.
At the edge of the lake, when flying appeared on the water, I immediately thought of the movie, and I came to the final conclusion.
"Whether our ideas are correct or not will take time to confirm, and now we are just putting them forward for everyone to discuss." I say it euphemistically.
The world has studied Dunhuang culture for so long, and many achievements have been explored and summarized by several generations, and they cannot be overturned by a single person on a whim.
Obviously, this conclusion made the Falcon very uncomfortable, but he forced himself to hold back.
Seven days later, the embassy arranged a special plane to take us back to China, and we went directly to the capital of a large country in the north, which is famous for its red wine and steak.
After landing, a special car was waiting to take us straight to the mountains of the Caucasus.
"Heaven is beautiful." It was nearly dusk and the snow began to fall outside the window, and I was sincerely amazed.
"In this kind of weather, it is difficult to drive in the mountains, and the driving environment is harsh, which is very unsafe." The accompanying bodyguard and interpreter said with a smile, "Mr. Long must be very fond of snow, so he will say the phrase 'God is beautiful'." ”
In fact, the reason why I praise the weather is because when I rush to the ancient stage at this time, I will enter the real scene of the Northern Emperor's "meeting immortals", and it will be easier to understand his impulsive thoughts.
Of course, I don't have to explain this to the translators. Everyone has their own work, and it is important to do your job well.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, the driver turned the wipers to the maximum, and the windshield was still blurry.
The group had a total of five vehicles, and an off-road vehicle in front of them opened the way and acted as a guide; The second SUV had three bodyguards on board, acting as guards; Our extended four-wheel drive off-road vehicle has a total of seven seats, in addition to the driver, me, Jian Rong, Electric Falcon, translator, and two bodyguards. In the back two off-road vehicles, there are secretaries, medical staff, catering and others.
As the convoy reached a dark tunnel through the mountain, the two cars in front stopped.
The bodyguards asked for instructions through the car intercom: "There was a small avalanche ahead, blocking half of the road and barely passing." The weather is too bad, can you turn back for a while and come back when the weather improves? ”
Since getting off the plane, the electric falcon's face has become more and more ugly, and at this moment it suddenly broke out: "I can't stop, I have to get there today, what are you afraid of if you are in an avalanche?" Even if there is no road ahead, you have to find a way out for me. Go, keep walking! ”
After half an hour of repair, the convoy continued on the road.
I didn't speak out to admonish the electric falcon, in the current situation, the sooner I rushed to the ancient stage, his pressure could be released as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will have a hard night's sleep.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the window on my left side was already covered with a thick layer of snowflakes, so white that I couldn't see anything.
After another hour of walking, the windshield of the car was completely covered with snowflakes and both wipers were out of action.
The driver opened the window, held the steering wheel with one hand, poked his head out to see the road, and the car moved slowly.
"It doesn't seem like there should be such a big snow this season, right?" I asked the translator.
The translator nodded repeatedly: "Yes, indeed." I checked the weather forecast when I was at the airport, and it was just cloudy and snowy, so I didn't expect it to fall so much. ”
He handed me his phone and asked me to look at the weather forecast.
Indeed, weather forecasting software shows that the Caucasus is currently "cloudy with light snow". In fact, it should be snowing or even blizzard outside the car window, which is a hundred times worse than the weather forecast says.
"Please bring up the introduction materials of the ancient stage, I want to know about it." I said politely.
The translator turns on the monitor on the back of the front seat, makes a slight selection, and starts playing the video.
The ancient stage is a historical site, and after research, antiquarians have concluded that it was excavated by the ancient Caucasus mountain people, and its function is not necessarily a stage, but also an altar. It is surrounded by a cliff to the northwest and a hillside to the southeast, and is a platform about 12 meters square. On the southwest and northeast sides, there are five rows of steps carved out of the stone wall, both two feet wide and high, similar to the layout of the stands in a modern stadium.
The platform and steps have obvious traces of artificial excavation, and are definitely not naturally generated.
Archaeologists also point out that, judging from the original chisel marks on the platform and steps, the group of people who built the platform was still in the late Neolithic period and had learned to make simple iron tools, but they had not yet been used on a large scale.
At that time, the electric falcon (the Great Emperor of the North) was coerced to this place and saw the illusion of the bouncing lute.
After the electric falcon returned to the station, he immediately called up all the ancient stage materials, and even went through them seven or eight times, but he couldn't explain what he had encountered.
He quickly brought in the country's top historians and biologists to analyze his own experience.
The most satisfying analysis was put forward by the paleontologist Rabakaf - "The ancient stage has a natural magnetic field, and the magnetic field retains the image of a certain period of time in the past, which will be replayed at a specific time, but it has no substantive meaning, and can be viewed from a distance and cannot be touched." This situation, which has a lot in common with a mirage, is an illusion and is not worth playing. ”
Rabakaf has done paleontological research all his life, and has neither a wife nor children, and of course he can't understand the complicated feelings of the electric falcon.
After the love burst out, the electric falcon's brain has been burned out, and when he thinks about it, it is all the face of the woman who bounced the lute.
In this case, he expelled Rabakaf and instead adopted the thesis of the metaphysician Gadowsky: "Go all out and wait on the ancient stage, and take the method of waiting for the rabbit, and you will definitely wait until the illusion returns." At that time, if many people observe and make suggestions, they will definitely find out the truth. ”
After listening to Gadowsky's words, the electric falcon immediately sent people, working four shifts a day, to closely monitor the ancient stage, waiting for that illusion to appear again.
