After the torrential rain continued for half an hour, it miraculously stopped, but the sky was still rolling dark clouds, and the lightning in the clouds spewed terrible sparks from time to time.

When the lightning flashed through the window, Quan Qianzhang in the house raised his eyes, and the subsequent thunder made him tremble involuntarily.

"Professor, are you alright?" Fu Beixue asked heavily.

Quan Qianzhang came back to his senses: "It's okay......"

Fu Beixue got up and walked to the window, listened carefully for a while, and then returned to Quan Qianzhang: "Professor, don't worry, that mountain man must be talking nonsense. ”

Quan Qianzhang shook his head and said: "This person is not an ordinary mountain person, listen to his words, he knows this place better than us, and he knows more about the mountain, and the Japanese let us come here to investigate, not to mine raw coal." ”

Fu Beixue was puzzled: "It's not for raw coal, but for what?" Petroleum? ”

Quan Qianzhang shook his head: "Now the technology of the Japanese to explore oil is far behind that of Western countries, and they themselves know very well, but in addition to raw coal, although oil is the most scarce for them, there is another resource, and they are also in urgent need." ”

Fu Beixue's eyes rolled: "You mean natural gas?" ”

Quan Qianzhang said: "That's right, natural gas, although the Japanese are trying their best to extract mine gas, but the technology is not mature, and the methane content in mine gas only reaches 60% at most, which is far inferior to natural gas." ”

Fu Beixue asked again: "But why are they so sure that there is natural gas in the mountains?" ”

Quan Qianzhang glanced at the door and said, "Probably because it is not like the legend of the mountain green dragon fire well." ”

Fu Beixue said: "Qinglong Fire Well? I know that there is a record of 'fire coming out of the ground' in the Book of Han, at that time, the ancients didn't know that it was natural gas, but only regarded it as a manifestation of the gods, but why did they add the word Qinglong? ”

Quan Qianzhang explained: "In the past, there was a temple here called Qinglong Temple, but Qinglong Temple used to be a Taoist temple in the past. ”

Fu Beixue was surprised: "Taoist temple becomes a temple? This is unheard of. ”

Quan Qianzhang said: "It was a matter of Wanli, at that time it was still called Changlongguan, the host of the view was named Qingxu Daochang, he liked couplets and games on weekdays, he once watched two roosters compete for a bean grain in the view, so he was inspired to call a couplet called 'Hungry Chickens Fight for Beans', and then solicit the next couplet. ”

Fu Beixue frowned and said, "Hungry chickens fighting for beans? It's too hard. ”

Quan Qianzhang said: "Yes, no one has been out of the next couplet for many years, until a certain summer, there is a monk called Hui Chan who came to travel, the two of them met friends with chess, it can be said that the mountains and rivers meet bosom friends, and they hate to see each other, but what I didn't expect is that one night, Hui Chan monk saw a cool mouse on the beam to make the next couplet. ”

Fu Beixue: "What do you say? ”

Quan Qianzhang said: "The next link is the rat summer and Liang Liang. ”

Fu Beixue scratched his head and said, "Sounds familiar?" ”

Quan Qianzhang said with a smile: "Yes, this should be a legend made up by later generations, I have heard that someone gave Su Dongpo Shanglian 'Hungry Chickens and Rice Boys', and he was shocked by 'Summer Rat Liang Liangke'." ”

Fu Beixue nodded again and again: "Yes, I also remembered, professor, what does the Qinglong Fire Well mean?" ”

Soon after Changlong Temple was changed to Qinglong Temple, the century-old well in the temple suddenly dried up, and when the thunderstorm was combined at night, lightning struck the wellhead, and the blue flame erupted from the wellhead, becoming a veritable fire well. Since that day, the Qinglong Fire Well has become a great wonder of Qinglong Temple. Quan Qianzhang frowned when he said this, "It's a pity that it didn't take long for Qinglong Temple to disappear completely." ”

Fu Beixue was extremely surprised: "Did it disappear out of thin air?" Why? ”

Quan Qianzhang shook his head: "It didn't disappear out of thin air, but it was buried under the mountain." ”

Fu Beixue suddenly realized when he heard this: "I understand, the place we went to today was the old site of Qinglong Temple, and after the flash flood broke out that night, not only did it form a non-like mountain, but also buried the entire Qinglong Temple underneath?" ”

Quan Qianzhang nodded and said, "That's right, that's right." ”

Fu Beixue nodded: "The Japanese are also based on this legend to determine that there must be natural gas under the Qinglong Temple?" ”

Quan Qianzhang said: "Although the information they gave me did not state this, I guess it must have something to do with this legend, after all, the legend has a certain factual basis, and besides, isn't the so-called fire well caused by natural gas?" ”

At this moment, there was a rapid gong sound outside, and when Fu Beixue was about to open the door, the door was opened directly by Takahashi Jiro.

Jiro Takahashi, who was wearing a raincoat, stood at the door and said, "Teacher, we have to evacuate." ”

Kwon Qianzhang walked to the door, and before he could stand still, he heard a strange sound coming from the mountain.

Quan Qianzhang frowned and said: "Shanming, this is a precursor to a flash flood, we have to leave immediately, have the villagers evacuated?" ”

Before Takahashi Jiro could answer, several villagers who were hurriedly evacuating with packages ran outside the house, and then the village chief ran to him with a gong and said, "Sir, you guys go quickly, the flash flood is really coming." ”

After speaking, the village chief braved the heavy rain and banged the gong to call out the villagers to evacuate.

Takahashi Jiro helped Quan Qianzhang to leave, and said at the same time: "Teacher, Shimomura Shaozo has arrived and has already led the team to evacuate to the side mountain waiting for you." ”

"Huh?" Quan Qianzhang frowned, he was extremely disgusted with this Japanese young man named Toshiharu Shimomura, because it was he who began to arrange all this, but he didn't expect that although he arranged for Jiro Takahashi to accompany him, he was still not at ease, so he came in person.

Half an hour later, Jiro Takahashi led Quan Qianzhang and Fu Beixue to a higher hill on the side of Zhengjia Village.

"Shaozuo!" Jiro Takahashi stepped forward and saluted, "The professor is safe." ”

Shimomura Toshiji, who is the commander of the exploration garrison, glanced at the three Quan Qianzhang who were soaking wet, only nodded slightly, and continued to look at Zhengjia Village, which was still a little firelight below, but this time he quickly set his eyes on the non-like mountain again.

Quan Qianzhang stepped forward at this time and said: "Feibi Mountain does not have any resources, our exploration mission is over." ”

Shimomura Toshiji was expressionless, and he didn't look at Quan Qianzhang, but said: "The experts of the empire say that Manchukuo is rich in resources, and maybe there is still oil. ”

Kwon Qianzhang frowned and looked at Shimomura Toshiji, he couldn't wait to push this dog-day invader directly down the mountain with one palm.

Quan Qianzhang replied: "In short, if it is not like a mountain, there are no resources. ”

Toshiji Shimomura didn't say anything to Quan Qianzhang, but just turned his head to look at Jiro Takahashi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Jiro Takahashi bowed his head and said, "I agree with the professor. ”

Takahashi Jiro was well aware of Shimomura Toshiharu's character, and if he didn't help Quan Qianzhang say something at this time, he didn't know what would happen after that, because Shimomura Toshiharu had personally executed two Manchukuo experts who he thought were in vain.

Before Kwon Qianzhang could answer, a bolt of lightning swept through the sky and slashed at a big tree on the opposite mountain, and the tree was split into two sections in response, and at the same time, Takahashi Jiro also saw a man wearing a hat and a cloak standing on the top of the mountain with the last rays of lightning.

Jiro Takahashi immediately raised his binoculars and observed, but because it was pitch black, he couldn't see anything.

"What's wrong?" Toshiji Shimomura asked.

Jiro Takahashi shook his head slightly: "I seem to see someone on the opposite mountain." ”

Toshiji Shimomura also subconsciously raised the telescope, and at the moment he lifted it, a roaring thunder sounded, and at the same time, Jiro Takahashi, Quan Qianzhang and Fu Beixue all clearly heard the sound of glass breaking, and just when they were still wondering what was going on, Toshiji Shimomura fell down with his head up.

"Shaozuo!" Jiro Takahashi immediately pounced and found that Toshiharu Shimomura's left eye was bloody - a bullet came from the opposite side, pierced the telescope, and hit his left eye.

Shimomura's breathing had stopped, and the surrounding soldiers immediately took cover and lay down, and the probe carefully searched for the gunman on the opposite hill.

"Doctor! Doctor! Takahashi Jiro roared for a long time before the muddy military doctor ran forward, checked Shimomura Toshiji for a while, and shook his head at Takahashi Jiro.

Takahashi clenched his fists, cursed in a low voice, grabbed the rifle of the soldier next to him, and aimed at the opposite hill with the tree as his back, and began to search.

The death of Toshiharu Shimomura made Quan Qianzhang overjoyed, and he thought to himself: The wicked have their own heaven to collect!

But at the same time, Quan Qianzhang also guessed in his heart who the gunman on the opposite hill was? Is it a fighter of the Anti-United Nations?
