Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Thief Twenty-Eight
I, Charlie Ba, and Kong Xue came to the Temple of Earth. ()
I muttered to myself: "Ditan Park, also known as Fangze Altar, is the second largest altar among the five altars in the ancient capital of Beijing. Ditan Park is located in Dingmenwai Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing, covering an area of 37 hectares. Founded in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties sacrificed to the "gods of the emperor's land", and it is also the largest altar of sacrifice in China. However, in 1994, it was changed to Ditan Park. ”
Kong Xue said: "You are very good at moving forward." Unexpectedly, you have found all the information about the Temple of Earth. ”
"It's not that I'm good, it's Baidu that is good. Now you can find everything on the Internet. ”
Kong Xue smiled and didn't say anything.
Charlie said: "The altar of earth is not big enough. I guess the bastard would have hidden the painting somewhere. ”
Kong Xue said slowly: "There won't be hidden behind the plaque!" ”
Charlie said: "I don't think it's that simple. ”
"Indeed, I don't know where to hide. But it's better to investigate carefully. ”
Kong Xue followed the Temple of Heaven and explained our intention to the administrator of the Temple of Earth. The staff of the Temple of Earth also fully cooperated with us. Two beautiful women were sent from the Temple of Earth to guide us.
I did some research on the Internet. There are several components to the Temple of Earth. The slaughtering pavilion is a place where sacrificial livestock were slaughtered in front of the ancient royal sacrificial ground. At the beginning of the day before the sacrifice, the slaughtering ceremony is held here. There was one well pavilion on both sides of the door. The Imperial Room is one of the main buildings of the Temple of Earth. The Ming and Qing dynasties are dedicated to the gods of the emperor, the five mountains, the five towns, the four seas, the four desecrations, and the five tombs of the gods. Fang Ze altar, for the Ming and Qing dynasties of the emperor to worship the "emperor of the gods" place, because there is a square canal around the altar, so it is called Fang Ze altar. It was founded in the ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and the shape of the Qianlong system was restored. The altar is square in size to symbolize the legend of "the sky is round and the place is round". The central altar platform is divided into two layers, there is a Ze canal around the perimeter, there are two altars outside, and there are Lingxing gates on each side. There is a mountain-shaped stone carving seat on the east and west sides of the south half of the lower altar platform, and there are fifteen mountain-shaped stone god seats on it, and the god seat of Wuyue, Wuzhen and Wuling Mountain is worshiped when worshipping; There is a water-shaped stone carving pedestal on the east and west sides of the north half, there are eight mountain-shaped stone shrines on it, for worshiping the gods of the four seas and the four desecrations, the northeast part of the outer decoration is the lamp pole, and the symmetrical northwest part of the original stump is a place.
I secretly said in my heart: at least these three places need to be carefully searched.
I hurriedly said, "Go to the slaughterhouse first." ”
The administrator of the Temple of Earth looked at me and said slowly, "Then you can come with me!" ”
We followed the two beauties to the slaughterhouse.
The slaughterhouse is, to put it bluntly, a slaughterhouse. The place is not very big either.
Charlie Ba realized his nose and said, "It's not good. ”
"Then check it out......"
The three of us searched carefully for twenty minutes in the slaughtering pavilion, but found nothing.
I looked at Charlie Ba and Kong Xue and said, "Have you looked carefully?" ”
Kong Xue nodded at me and said, "I didn't find anything here." ”
Charlie exclaimed, "I'm the same. ”
I took a closer look at the slaughterhouse again. Indeed, the three of us looked very carefully, and there was no place to hide a famous painting.
I secretly said in my heart: It seems that there is really no more here.
I thought, then the next place to go should be the Imperial Chamber.
I said to the two beautiful administrators, "Beauties, we are going to the Imperial Chamber. Please lead the way! ”
The two beautiful administrators looked at us and said slowly, "Okay." Please come with me! ”
Saying that, the caretaker led us to the imperial chamber of the Temple of Earth.
The Emperor's Room has now become the Temple of Earth Cultural Relics Exhibition Room, where some books are stored. It is also known as the Popular Library.
It's not very big here though. But there are a lot of books.
Charlie Ba said: "Wipe it...... That's a lot of books...... How do you find it......"
"If you are looking for paintings, you are not asking you to find books. It's so easy to find. ”
Kong Xue looked at me and said, "Go ahead." There is also a plaque in the Imperial Chamber, can you go up and take a look? ”
Before I could speak, Charlie Ba said slowly: "Sister Xue, you don't need to look at that." That plaque is dead. So there's definitely no going to store anything on it. ”
I looked at Charlie Ba angrily and said slowly, "Don't talk nonsense, okay?" Let's look for a picture! ”
Charlie Ba looked at me and said, "There are so many books, I don't know when I turned to them." ”
Kong Xue said slowly: "It's actually very easy to do. The lost paintings of the Palace Museum in Beijing are either square or rolled. Very easy to tell. ”
Charlie said slowly: "Yes......"
The three of us gathered and busied through the books here. This time, the three of us spent a lot of time, but we still didn't find any clues. Not a single painting was seen.
I secretly said in my heart: It seems that there is no more here.
Charlie said: "I'm tired. The three of us need to find out when. ”
"Don't worry, let me think about it."
Charlie Ba said slowly: "Your grandfather's, you should think about it quickly." ”
I secretly said in my heart: What Kong Xue said just now is right, the five famous paintings lost in the Palace Museum in Beijing are either square or circled. The books here are all old books, all small objects. It can be said that it is unobstructed. It doesn't seem to be in the imperial chamber either. I took one last closer look at the Imperial Chamber. The tiles are carefully watched, and there is still nothing.
I looked at Charlie Ba and Kong Xue and said, "The imperial family is gone. ”
I said to the two beautiful administrators, "I'm sorry for you, take us to the Xingze Canal!" ”
The two beautiful administrators said, "Okay......"
Saying that, the two beautiful female administrators took the three of us to the shape of the canal.
To be precise, the Xingze Canal already represents the altar of the earth. This is because this is the main area of the Imperial Land God. Although the Temple of Earth is not as famous as the Temple of Heaven, there are many visitors to the Temple of Earth.
This is even more visible at a glance, there is no plaque, just a distant altar. Some tourists come and go here to take pictures.
Charlie Ba said slowly: "Rub it." This place. There's absolutely nothing to hide. ”
Kong Xue also looked at me and said, "Yes, go ahead, there is nothing here at all." There's not even a place to hide things. ”
I nodded and said, "I guess that's what I thought." ”
I looked at Charlie Ba and said, "Charlie Ba, I remember you said that you came to the Temple of Earth before, right?" ”
I touched my chin and said, "I've been here once before." But that was a long time ago. ”
"If you hide the painting in the altar of the earth, where do you feel safest?"
Charlie Ba touched his chin and said slowly, "Actually." There is simply no place to hide here in the Temple of Earth. If let me say it. I'm hiding in the bell tower? But I took a closer look when I came here just now. There is nothing hidden on the bell tower at all. ”
"yes. When I passed by the bell tower just now, I also paid attention to it. Although the bell tower is tall, if the painting had been placed on the bell tower, those tourists would have seen it a long time ago. There simply isn't time for us to come and find it. ”
Kong Xue said: "Forward, your analysis is correct. So where do you think that famous painting from the Temple of Earth will be now......"
I touched my chin and carefully recalled the information on Baidu.
I muttered to myself: "The Divine Treasury, the Slaughtering Pavilion, the Zhai Palace, the Emperor's Room, the Divine Horse Palace, the Archway, the Fang Ze Altar, and the Bell Tower." There are enough places in the Temple of Earth. It's really hard to analyze. ”
Charlie Ba said slowly: "You have one less place. ”
"Where?"
Charlie Ba said: "There is also a health garden in the Temple of Earth. ”
"Oh, yes...... That's right...... That's exactly what it says on Baidu. ”
Kong Xue said: "It's big enough." ”
"But I believe, the altar of earth, the altar of earth. It must have something to do with the earth. Or where the altar of the earth has something to do with the earth. ”
Charlie Ba said slowly: "This is the shrine of the five mountains, five towns, and five mountains of Wuling Mountain during the sacrifice; See that there is a water-shaped stone carving seat on the east and west sides of the north half, and there are eight mountain-shaped stone shrines in that piece, which is for worshiping the gods of the four seas and the four blasphemys, and here is the worship of the gods of the emperor and the earth. ”
"Oh...... Is it? It seems that if the fake Wei Qiang plays according to the rules of the game, then it can be said that there will definitely be a famous painting here. ”
Charlie said slowly: "That bastard is also a human, maybe he is fooling you." ”
"I don't feel like so. I think there's definitely a famous painting hidden here. ”
Charlie Ba said angrily: "Big brother, take a look." You can take a good look at this place and see through it at a glance. There's something hidden somewhere. ”
I knew in my heart that I could see everything here.
I scratched my head and said to myself, "Could it be that the fake Wei Qiang still has some mystery that I haven't cracked?" Or maybe there are no famous paintings in the Temple of Earth. ”
Kong Xue said slowly: "Forward, don't worry......"
"I'm not in a hurry, I just feel that the fake Wei Qiang has been leading me by the nose. I think there's a lot I didn't think of. ”
Charlie said, "Yes. That's the bastard. I've been to the Temple of Earth once before, although it's not the same place as before. But the general layout has not changed. It's just that the walls have been refreshed. I can't really think of any place where I could hide some paintings. ”
"I've got a lot of thought about it. Temple of Earth...... Temple of Earth...... It is a sacrifice to the gods of the emperor and the earth. Do you think that fake Wei Qiang will hide the painting underground? ”
Charlie Ba said slowly: "Looking at that bastard's style, it is estimated that it is normal to have this kind of practice." ”
I touched my chin and thought slowly, "Those five famous paintings were lost on March 11th. So 100% sure, even if you want to hide a famous painting in the Temple of Earth, it's March 12th. ”
I looked at a beautiful administrator next to me and said, "Excuse me, where is there a project in the Temple of Earth recently?" ”
The beautiful administrator didn't understand what I meant, and slowly asked me, "Engineering?" What works ......"
Charlie Ba hurriedly explained: "It's just that there is no place in the Temple of Earth that has broken ground recently. ”
The beautiful administrator still didn't understand. The beautiful caretaker said slowly: "Our Temple of Earth is now a full-fledged attraction. There will be no work, and the walls have been washed a long time ago. ”
Charlie Ba looked at the beautiful administrator and touched his forehead. Said slowly: "Beauty." You didn't go to school. Still have a problem with understanding...... Hey......"
I hurriedly said to the beautiful administrator, "I want to ask, have you dug any soil here recently?" Or somewhere you feel like you've had the soil renovated. ”
As soon as I said this, the beautiful administrator seemed to understand something. Said slowly: "As soon as you say that, I have a little thought. ”
Listening to what the beautiful administrator said, I, Charlie Ba, and Kong Xue all looked at the beautiful administrator.
The beautiful administrator said slowly, "A month ago! We've got a public toilet here......"
Before the beautiful administrator could speak, the three of us looked at the beautiful administrator very dejectedly.
Charlie Ba said angrily: "Ah! I'm so hungry......"
I looked at Charlie and said angrily, "Don't say you're hungry." I'm hungry too. ”
Charlie Ba looked at his hand and said slowly, "I wiped it." It's already 2:40 p.m. Isn't it almost three o'clock? I didn't think I really didn't eat much today, and now I'm crazy hungry. ”
"It's normal to be hungry, let's do good things first! Now the goal is to find those five famous paintings. ”
Charlie said slowly: "People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic." ”
I said angrily: "Big brother, can you still have some interest." ”
Kong Xue looked at me and Charlie Ba. He said to me, "Go ahead." Didn't you eat a single one? ”
"It's not like I ate some buns when I was in the hospital."
Kong Xue looked at me and said, "When I was in the hospital, it was only ten o'clock, and now it's almost three o'clock." It's almost five hours old. You two are steaming back and forth, you must have wasted a lot of physical strength, so it's better to move forward. Let's eat something first, and then let's figure it out! ”
"Sister Xue, I know you care about me and Charlie Ba. But I feel like it's so close. It's better to find it. Let's take a break and rest! ”
As I spoke, I watched carefully around me. Hope to see some flaws.
At this time, Charlie Ba looked at the beautiful administrator next to him and said, "Beauty, let me ask." Where is the restroom? ”
The beautiful caretaker said slowly: "It just so happens that you go down this way, and this is our new public toilet." ”
Charlie Ba slowly said to the beautiful administrator: "Is it clean inside?" It's not clean, I don't want to go. ”
The beautiful administrator said slowly: "We are newly built, and the floor is paved with tiles, and there are staff who will clean it up regularly." You can rest assured that it is absolutely clean. ”
Charlie said slowly: "That's fine. ”
After I scanned my eyes, I saw that Charlie was no longer with me, and was about to go to the public toilet.
I didn't hear the conversation between Sun Tielong and the beautiful administrator just now. I don't know what Charlie Ba is going to do.
I was amazed and asked, "Hello?" What are you going to do, old ghost? ”
Charlie said, "...... Wait for me! I'll try to come back as soon as possible. ”
I looked at Charlieba's background. said angrily: "***, there is a lot of and urine on the lazy donkey." ”
And Kong Xue on the side looked at me and said, "Go forward, Charlie and I are really tired." Why don't you take a break? You also have an empty mind and think about it. When Charlie comes back, let's continue to look for it. ”
"I know Sister Xue. But it's almost three o'clock now. Soon the day will be over. This morning, the fake Wei Qiang had already said it. It's a forty-eight hour game. I feel that if we don't find those five famous paintings in forty-eight hours. I guess the few paintings I can't find will be destroyed by that fake Wei Qiang. ”
Kong Xue looked at me and said slowly: "There is such a serious ......"
"You didn't see the fake Wei Qiang in the morning, not only Brother Yu, but also Charlie Ba and Sun Tielong didn't have uniforms. On the contrary, Sister Snow, you also saw it. Brother Yu was seriously injured, and Sun Tielong was also examined and admired in the hospital. Fortunately, Charlie has a kung fu foundation. Otherwise, I guess I'll be left alone. ”
Kong Xue said: "Forward, according to what you mean, the person who pretended to be Wei Qiang is not only scheming, but also a very capable and intelligent person." ”
"That's right......"
Kong Xue said: "In this case, I remember if I studied psychology when I was in school, such a person is not easy to deal with." ”
"I know that too. So I believe that the fake Wei Qiang said that the forty-eight hours of the game definitely has something to do with the painting. And I believe that such people will not be untargeted, and they will also be ruthless. It didn't really matter how many of us got hurt. But if those famous paintings are destroyed, it will not be beautiful. ”
Kong Xue nodded and said, "Yes...... Oh, yes...... Go ahead, you're right......"
I also nodded and said to Kong Xue: "So, Sister Xue, now we are racing against time." That's not an exaggeration......"
