Chapter 323: Treading the Snow and Searching for the Dragon (2)
The waitress came over with a white and green tray and politely brought coffee and sugar and milk cans.
"Generally speaking, when you drink coffee, you either have to be alone or accompanied by a close friend, otherwise you can't taste the connotation and charm of coffee. Let's hope this cup of coffee today can be the beginning of our friendship, okay?" Bing'er asked meaningfully.
Our friendship started in the ghost market on Shanda Road, and finally the secret passage under the Hongjialou Church, and it is not easy to start again.
"It's hard. "I made it clear.
Bing'er frowned: "I originally thought that you were a very generous person, and you would not be disgusted with me because you witnessed the infighting of the beggar gang. You must know that many gangs on the rivers and lakes have similar internal affairs, and they are all competing for power and interests. Elder Wen is an old man in the gang, equivalent to the regent of a small country, so in everything he does, he must start from safeguarding the interests of the gang, not targeting someone or something. ”
When it comes to this topic, I can take the opportunity to ask her about "Secret Demon Heavenly Sect, Dripping Blood and Confessing Relatives", but after thinking about it, I forced the other party to answer the secret question, which was not done by a gentleman, so I gave up indifferently.
"Ah, I should actually add, Mr. Xia, power is not a good thing, and becoming the leader of the Heavenly Sect is not a good thing. At the very least, when you or I are in a position of power, we won't be able to drink coffee and eat meat together, as we do today. Bing'er's furrowed brow gradually expanded.
She has a strong ability to self-liberate, you know, at her age, she shouldn't have this kind of easy-to-use adult thinking, unless she has received strict psychological training from famous teachers.
In a way, she seems to be more mature, forward-looking and forward-looking than Red Sleeves.
The plastic bag with the brochure and photos was already on the side of the coffee table, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to talk to Bing'er, because she had read it many times, and must have researched it many times, to find out what the records really meant. Listening to her will benefit a lot.
"Mr. Xia, to be honest, I'm also interested in the Divine Aspect Water Mirror, or rather, our beggars are interested in it. The booklet said that in the battle of the Yellow River pontoon bridge, what the Chinese had was a divine water mirror that easily influenced the outcome of the war. Although it is now an era of peace, there is not a small number of open and secret battles on the rivers and lakes, but they are not as open and open as during World War II. If the beggars have a Divine Water Mirror, they will not be afraid of any challenge, whether it is from the physical level or the metaphysical level. Now, we all admit that the person in the photo is more than 90% similar to you, so tell me, who is he?" Bing'er stared at my face, and without waiting for me to throw out the topic, she went straight to the mirror of the divine face.
According to genetics, no two generations are more than 50 percent alike, except for twins who can look alike.
I'm so similar to the person in the photo that that's hard to explain.
"The booklet says that it is a divine water mirror, and you believe that there is no treasure in the world that is so huge? It is not conducive to collection or transportation, and it will only become a great burden to the owner. I said.
Bing'er's thinking was very quick, and she immediately smiled: "Of course there is, not only that, but more than a billion people in China know what that treasure is." ”
"What is it?" I couldn't turn my mind for a moment.
"Iron Fan Princess Banana Fan. Bing'er replied.
I patted the back of my head lightly and smiled dumbly: "I actually forgot this, it's a ...... How did this brain become like an engine without lubrication today?"
In "Journey to the West", the banana fan of the iron fan princess can be manipulated by spells, the smallest can be small enough to be held in the mouth, and the largest can be so large that even Sun Wukong can't carry it.
"If the Divine Aspect Water Mirror is also like the banana fan, it can be big or small, wouldn't it be a treasure that can be collected, carried, circulated, and manifested?" Bing'er said.
I shook my head: "Bing'er, it makes no sense for us to discuss in this direction, after all, at present, no one knows what the Divine Water Mirror looks like. The beggars need it, no one on the rivers and lakes doesn't need it, or rather, the leaders of the whole world need it......"
There are many legends about the Divine Water Mirror, but as described in the booklet "Notes of the Plum Blossom Mansion", this is the first time I have come across it.
Bing'er was silent because I prevented her from continuing to use her imagination. Without speculation, this topic is over.
The word "authenticity" is what I want to know the most now, that is to say, this booklet records some things, but it is only the words of one family, there is no circumstantial evidence, if you blindly use this as a clue to continue to explore, I am afraid that you will go astray.
The Japanese are not lacking in imagination, just look at the various "ghost things" in their folklore, and the degree of absurdity, grotesqueness, fantasy, and confusion is not inferior to the ancient Chinese "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai" and "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang".
At some point, the sound of music came out of nowhere, and it was Kennedy's saxophone.
Music will always have no borders, and people like me, who were born and raised in Jinan and Bing'er, who have studied and drifted across the ocean, can immerse themselves in Kennedy's heart-wrenching performances, taste them silently, and enjoy them quietly.
Sunlight shone in through the large vertical window, creating a rectangular block of light and shadow on the table, which also illuminated the booklet.
"How long has it been since it snowed heavily in Jinan?" Bing'er suddenly asked.
This is actually an old question that all Jinan people often ask, because in the impression, Jinan will not have "big" snow at all, and every year in winter, even light snow and medium snow have become extremely precious, and there are several years when there is not even a snowflake on the ground.
I shook my head: "Due to the climate, there is no snow in Jinan. ”
This is the truth, Jinan belongs to the basin terrain, and there are abundant spring water resources hidden underground, and the ground temperature is high all year round, so there are no conditions for heavy snowfall.
"Have you noticed that the brochure says that it was snowing heavily, and it was a long blizzard, and even the wheels and tracks of the chariot were buried. I have checked the information, and the height of the tracked combat vehicles and tire combat vehicles owned by the Japanese Kwantung Army during World War II from the ground to the roof is 170 centimeters, which is equivalent to the height of an adult. According to the structural drawings of the combat vehicle at that time, the height of the tracks was fifty centimeters, and the height of the tires was sixty centimeters, which was already the minimum size. If the booklet is true, then the heavy snowfall at that time was at least 50 centimeters or more. So, I went to the Shandong Provincial Archives and Jinan Municipal Archives to check carefully, and found that on the day of the battle and within 20 days before and after, there were no records of blizzards in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, or Shandong. Think about it, what does that mean?" Bing'er said in a clear tone.
I don't have to open the book again to remember the part of chapter 9.
It is true that the Japanese invaders built pontoon bridges to cross the river in the midst of a blizzard, and the size and density of the snowflakes in the photos can also illustrate the same problem.
If it is far-fetched, it can be said that "there is no snow in the city of Jinan, and there is local heavy snow on both sides of the Yellow River, which is just a manifestation of extreme weather." "However, only people who like to raise bars can explain like this, and Bing'er and I are not among those people.
"Blizzard has something to do with mirrors. "I make a brief conclusion.
In Qushuiting Street and the old house of the lady of the street official, I once encountered a vision. In the illusion, he also saw a blizzard in the world, and the person with the Golden Thread Map should have a lot to do with the Divine Water Mirror.
Bing'er was noncommittal, just staring at me with a pair of big watery eyes, as if she wanted to read the answer from my face.
I groaned a little and distilled that short answer into three words again: "Snow in the mirror?"
Snow is related to mirrors, and it is possible that mirrors affect the weather, and it is more likely that heavy snow comes from mirrors.
Obviously, these three words touched Bing'er so much that she suddenly covered her mouth with her hands, took a deep breath, and pressed her hands together on the booklet.
"Why didn't I think of that? Why didn't I think of it?" she asked herself in a low voice, remorseful.
The reason why I said those three words is because when I read "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" before, I read a lot of chapters about the coexistence of treasures and the environment, and I vaguely realized that treasures do not change a person or something alone, but in addition to people and things, they can also change the environment and change the wind and rain of the outside world. It's just that too many people only pay attention to the storyline in that book and ignore these subtleties.
"The heavy snow was brought by the Divine Water Mirror, or rather...... The mirror produced heavy snow, and the heavy snow made the Japanese invaders lose their way and keep walking into the mirror. I can't stop thinking of the treasures in "Journey to the West", just now I thought of the banana fan, and now I think of the gourd of the King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn. The two gourds stolen from Taishang Laojun's alchemy room have the mana of 'responding to absorbing people', no matter whose name they call, as long as the other party agrees, they will be sucked into the gourd and turned into blood. If this mirror has the same effect, then it only needs to be placed in the traffic key place, and all the Japanese invaders are put in it, and the eight-year war of resistance will end early. Bing'er said.
All the "ifs" seem to be easy, but all the "ifs" did not happen at some point in the past, so that the eight-year War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was fought so hard, and the Chinese nation lost millions of brave and fearless soldiers before ushering in the victory in 1945.
"When it comes to 'what if', I'll give you one too. If the two atomic bombs of the Americans had directly hit the Japanese capital, there would not be an island country called 'Japan' in the Pacific Ocean today. That kind of result is probably what the Americans also want to see very much. I said.
For the sake of these two "ifs", Bing'er and I looked at each other, and there was a regretful smile on our faces.
