"The greatest explorer of our country came back from the Central Plains and told me something. There, in that place called the 'Mogao Grottoes', there is a huge treasure buried called the 'Jinshan Yinhai Jade Palace', and there is a secret in it, which is about immortality. Said the big man.

I nodded, shook the map, and motioned for him to continue.

"Treasures are nothing rare, I have seen too many treasures of the Central Plains, and we have everything in our museum." He said.

I wanted to sarcastically ridicule him for "snatching it back from the Central Plains", but I couldn't help myself and didn't say a word.

In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, the tsar and the Northern Alliance snatched too many treasures from the Central Plains and exhausted the means of forcible seizure. Moreover, not only the treasure, but also a large piece of land was forcibly carved over.

There are too many historical issues for me to go through them all. However, these are all problems left over from the dark ages, and they cannot be traced back to today.

"I'm interested in 'immortality', you Central Plains people are very smart, from the ancient Qin Shi Huang to the current emperor, you have been studying this technique, and you must have achieved something. Therefore, I must go to that place, find out the secret technique of 'immortality', and live for a hundred or two hundred years, just like your ancient Peng Zu in the Central Plains. Said the big man.

I nodded: "Well, good idea." ”

Peng Zu lived for 800 years without dying, and if the big man could live for 800 years, it would become a miracle in the world political arena, and of course there would be no such thing as the current Electric Falcon.

"Friend, tell me a little advice." The big man points to the map.

"That's just a legend, you should know that all explorers are crazy. They believe in all the legends of the world, from Treasure Island to the Bermuda Delta, wherever they can reach by car and boat, they want to go. Therefore, they cannot be fully believed. I said.

The big man shook his head: "I don't agree with you, you know?" Even the Führer of the Nazis was looking for the art of immortality. ”

Of course, I know this, because the Nazi Führer spent half his life searching for the "axis of the earth", and in the end to no avail, it ushered in the defeat of Berlin.

"He'll never find the 'axis of the earth,' that place doesn't exist." I say.

"What? Do you know that place? The big man frowned sharply.

I realized that I was talking too much, and I shouldn't have created another topic at all, so as not to waste time and delay the business at hand.

"There are too many intelligence traffickers on Hong Kong Island, and I only heard about it by chance." I immediately made amends and lied for myself.

"Well, the spy arranged by Mikhachav in Berlin reported that the Nazi Führer already knew the exact location of the 'axis of the earth', and sent four expeditions in succession deep into India and northern Nepal, and it was said that within the next year, it would be possible to find that place." Said the big shot.

I understood that this was a lie from the explorers, because they knew that if they made up a big lie, the Nazi government would continue to fund the expedition.

"I met the Nazi Führer, well, before the war, of course. We once agreed that whoever found the art of immortality first, we would share it with each other and be friends forever. Said the big man.

This is really surprising because there is no record in the history books.

All historians agree that the Northern Alliance and the German Nazis were incompatible, and that the leaders of the two countries could not even communicate or talk on the phone, let alone meet each other.

"Really?" I blurted out.

"Of course, the meeting place is at the Purple Swan Manor on the outskirts of Berlin, a three-hundred-year-old castle." Said the big shot.

The estate is a real place and one of Berlin's most famous tourist attractions, with a natural lake home to more than 400 purple swans.

Since the big man said so, the meeting was true.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling worthless for the troops, soldiers, people, and people of the two countries. They think that defending the country, defending the faith, and defending the leader is the highest goal of life, but the big people of the two countries can sit together and communicate for the art of "immortality", and put aside the major affairs of the country and the nation.

From this point of view, the faith of the small people is too cheap to be put in the eyes of the big people at all.

"When things have developed to this day, no one expected this to be the result, right?" I asked.

"There's a telephone there—" the big man gestured to the right corner, "and it goes straight to the Berlin Chancellery." Look, it's the red one. In fact, I can always call him and talk about big issues that only the upper echelons can talk about. ”

I looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, on the long table against the wall, there were three telephones, one red, one black, and one white.

It is an international practice that no matter how tense the relationship between the two countries is, smooth contact will be maintained in order to facilitate bargaining.

"It's not time to turn on the red phone." The big man sighed.

"When?" I asked.

"I don't know, maybe it's when the city breaks." He replied.

"Well, I hope I never need it." I say.

History is so magical, after the victory in the defense of the capital, the Northern Alliance marched all the way, while the Nazi army was defeated and finally collapsed.

If the big man had activated the red phone prematurely, it would have been tantamount to surrendering the city, and it would have completely changed the course of history.

I owe it and return the map to him, adding: "Forget the treasures of Dunhuang and 'immortality', they are all fake." ”

He put away his map and continued to smoke.

Green smoke filled the air, gradually enveloping his face.

After a long while, footsteps were heard outside.

The big man awoke from his contemplation: "Well, Mikhachav is here, it seems that he has brought your companion with him. ”

Soon, the middle-aged man appeared, but no one was behind him.

"Mikhachav, what about the two men?" The big man asked in a loud voice.

Mikhachav trotted over, bowed and replied: "Something happened to those two and they fainted." ”

I remained silent and calmly observed his expression.

"You tortured them?" The big man asked again.

Mikhachav shook his head: "No, they passed out on their own, without any external injuries. ”

My heart relaxed slightly, but I was in no hurry to speak.

"Well, little brother, do you want to go and see them? I think they might need your help right now, right? The big man turned his head and asked.

I slowly stood up and made a "head in front of me" gesture to Mikhachav.

"Give them all the help they want, whatever they want, right away." The big man ordered loudly.

I followed Mikhachav out of the main hall only to find that thick smoke wafted through the air, and sporadic gunfire rang out from the west and southwest.

We walked through a small square and into a three-story building.

"Just ahead, two people were in two cells, fainting close to the time." Mikhachav introduced.

On both sides of the corridor were private cells, each with prisoners, all handcuffed and shackled, and their clothes stained with blood.

At the end of the corridor, Mikhachav made a gesture, and the two soldiers immediately opened the doors of the two cells.

Now, I really saw Gu Tingcheng. She was reclining on a wooden bed, her eyes closed and her breathing faint.

I looked into the other cell, and the man lying on the ground was very unfamiliar and had never been seen before.

"Get out of here, I'll take care of it." I said to Mikhachav.

With the orders of the big man, he became very obedient and immediately turned around and went out.

I sat down on the edge of the bed and touched Gu Chengcheng's wrist first. Fortunately, her pulse was very stable and her body was fine. I knew right away that she was fainting and sick.

In Chinese martial arts, this effect can be achieved by turtle breath gong and paralysis techniques, and the "deep yoga technique" in Indian martial arts also has the same effect.

"Alright, I'm here." I whispered, "You continue to pretend to be sick, and we can talk in a whisper." ”

After being separated for so long and experiencing so many things in between, there are so many things we want to talk about, so we can only choose the most important things to talk about.

"The big man has something in his hand, it's very important, and he has to get it." Gu Qingcheng let out an extremely thin sound.

"What is it?" I asked.

"A map taken from Dunhuang by explorers during the Tsarist period. That's part of a map, to be exact. At least eight maps must be stitched together to form a complete map. With the map, you can go straight to the 'Golden Mountain and Silver Sea Jade Palace' and uncover the ultimate secret of the Mogao Grottoes. Gu Tingcheng replied.

"You're here for this map?" I asked.

If Gu Qingcheng really didn't care about his own life for the sake of the map, it would be too emotional.

"No, life is infinitely reincarnated, if we don't come, there will be * annoyance here, and it is impossible to win the battle to defend the capital. You know, the Nazis blitzed the Northern Union for the sake of the map. The Nazi Führer also had some maps in his possession, from which his explorers discovered the secrets of the 'Earth's Axis'. Now it seems that whoever gets the complete map will decide the fate of the earth. I didn't come here on purpose, but I came here by mistake. That Mr. David was a historian, and he knew all the details, and when we were together, we could make a detailed plan. Gu Tingcheng replied.

I immediately replied: "I have promised the big man to take a team out and ambush the Nazi armored forces in close quarters in the birch forest." Now, we have to help them win the battle to defend the capital, no matter what, otherwise, the Northern Alliance is finished. ”

"Okay." Gu Tingcheng was really smart, and immediately understood my good intentions.

"I'll leave in a moment, take care. Fortunately, I have reached a tacit agreement with the big guys, and your lives will not be in danger. I said.

Gu Qingcheng did not hesitate at all, and whispered: "You also take care, the Nazi army is not a paper tiger, and their overall combat capability should not be underestimated." ”

I stayed in my cell for a total of ten minutes before hurrying out.

"Take good care of them and don't get any damage." I told Mikhachav in front of the soldiers.

"Yes, the marshal has already ordered, and it must be strictly implemented." Mikhachav nodded repeatedly.
