Chapter 286: Falling Star Stone
The next day, he and Yan Xue took a train to Beiping.
Although it is said that the whole road is a Japanese-occupied area, and there are people on the train constantly checking their documents, this kind of trivial matter is not difficult for them.
There are many Qinggang disciples in the Demon Capital Patrol Room, Qin Di has already got more than a dozen kinds of documents, he has any identity, and even he has a Japanese passport, he talks about people when he sees people, and he talks nonsense when he sees people, if he doesn't want to speak, he simply shoots the other party to death, and then jumps off the train, who can catch up with them?
Fortunately, no one bothered them on this train.
In the winter of 1940, it was extremely cold in Beiping, although it was only November, and the people on the street were already wearing padded jackets.
The whole city, already controlled by the Japanese, looked dull and gloomy.
Since the signing of the Tanggu Agreement in May 1933, North China has become an important "military base" for the Japanese army. In order to achieve the goal of occupying North China, Japan used political, economic, and military means to infiltrate North China, and made a great deal of preparations for Japan's invasion of North China among overseas Chinese.
Between January and April 1937 alone, under the guise of being merchants, industrialists, and students, there were at least 33 groups of Japanese who were actually surveying North China.
After the July 7 Incident, a large number of Japanese poured into the occupied areas of North China.
In 1937, there were 34,492 Japanese overseas Chinese in North China. By 1938, there were 82,905 Japanese, and by 1939 there were 162,150. Since 1940, Japan has repeatedly carried out the "law and order strengthening" campaign in North China, while strengthening its colonial rule over North China, while arranging for a large number of Japanese to move to North China, in just two years, the number of Japanese overseas Chinese in North China has reached a new peak of 408,670.
As the central city of North China, Beiping has attracted a large number of Japanese people.
All kinds of Japanese crossed Tanggu, Gubeikou and Qingdao from Shanhaiguan...... Trains and ships on all lines loaded with tens of millions of passengers wearing clogs poured into Beiping, the center of North China. By the end of December 1939, there were 16,672 Japanese households and 45,416 people living in Beiping.
Qin Di and Yan Xue walked on the streets of Beiping, walking in the downtown area, from time to time to see Japanese men and women wearing kimonos and clogs, and heard the songs transmitted from Tokyo, that is, on the trams, it was also Japanese students who shuttled back and forth instead of Chinese students, and the city of Beiping was full of Japanese figures.
After the Japanese army occupied Beiping, in order to effectively carry out colonial rule, Beiping established a puppet regime controlled by Japanese "advisers". Institutions at all levels in Peiping, from the central to the local, have hired a large number of Japanese "advisers" to assist in the administrative, judicial, military, and police operations on the Chinese side. These Japanese, called "advisors", actually acted as overseers and "emperors", and became the actual rulers behind the puppet regime in Peiping.
Japan has also arranged for a large number of Japanese nationals to control educational institutions at all levels in the capacity of "advisers" and "teachers." The Japanese instructors in middle schools, ostensibly teachers, are in fact closely connected to the Japanese gendarmerie, embassies, etc., and they are responsible for monitoring and directing school administration, and can decide on the life and freedom of the principal, teaching staff, and students, and decide on the administrative affairs of the school.
Many Japanese overseas Chinese are nominally "Japanese language instructors", but in fact they are "Taijo Principals" who do everything. Through the "weapon" of the Japanese language, they can "cultivate pure Japanese who can guide the mainland nations, and educate young people and educate ordinary people in their lives," thus achieving the goal of eliminating the nationalist spirit of the Chinese people.
Qin Di walked through the street, seeing it in his eyes and listening to it, but he couldn't do anything, because this was a problem at the national level, and the Japanese invaders had to be driven away in order to be completely solved.
That night, the two went to Union Hospital and easily found two large safes.
Qin Di twisted the switch of the safe and found that there were six skulls of Peking ape-man, fifteen skull fragments, fourteen mandible bones, one hundred and forty-seven collarbones, wrist bones, thigh bones, and upper arm bones, in addition to the tools of the ancient ape-man's labor, and several stones that had been preliminarily polished.
He put the safe in its entirety, but he grabbed a stone in his hand and kept looking at it.
Even though it was night, he didn't turn on the light, and only had a flashlight in his hand, he still stared at the stone, and he was quite excited, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Yan Xue asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
Qin Di nodded and said, "Let's go back first." ”
The two of them returned to the inn, turned on the light, and examined the fist-sized stone.
Qin Di said: "You touch it, how do you feel?"
Yan Xue held the milky white stone in the palm of her hand, concentrating and savoring the feeling.
At first, she felt that the stone had only a sense of heaviness, as if it contained heavy metals, and it was twice as heavy as ordinary granite. After a while, she suddenly felt a warm flow of warmth, like a flame coming out of it, and the strange feeling startled her, and she almost threw the stone out!
Qin Di took it and said, "This is not an ordinary stone, but a 'falling star stone', which is equivalent to a defective immortal stone. ”
Yan Xue was surprised: "Are there still immortal stones in the world?"
"It is not a real immortal stone, the immortal power contained in it is only one percent of the genuine immortal stone, it is a metallic immortal material, which can be used to refine magic weapons such as 'mixed yuan gold bricks'. The ancient ape-men didn't know where to find it, and they used it as a tool of labor, probably to hunt elk!"
"How can such a stone hunt elk?"
"Because it's heavier, it's just right to be held with one hand, and if you throw it and hit the elk's head, it will definitely kill the elk!"
Yan Xue looked at Qin Di and found that his expression was still a little excited, so she asked, "Sir, what can you do with such a falling star stone?"
Qin Di said with a smile: "I want to go to Zhoukou Store to have a look, if I am lucky, I may be able to find a few more." ”
"You're going to use it for refining?"
"No, I want the Falling Star Stone to be of great use. The premise is to find a few more pieces, the more the merrier. ”
The next morning, the two appeared in Zhoukoudian, about 50 kilometers from Beiping City, where there is a keel mountain, backed by the undulating Taihang Mountains and facing the vast North China Plain, with a small river flowing in front of the mountain.
In the early years, the place where the keel was found was a cave, since the Japanese army invaded China, the investigators in the cave were killed, and the rest of the people were all withdrawn, and the keel mountain became a barren mountain, and there was not even a person.
They walked into the cave, and it was so dark that they couldn't hear a sound.
Although Qin Di could see things at night, he still turned on the flashlight and looked around the cave.
This cave has been excavated several times by scientific researchers, and the soft places have been carefully screened.
An hour later, he came out of the cave, climbed to the top of the hill, and performed the "dragon search trick", pinching his fingers to calculate and find the direction of the dragon veins.
After looking at it for a long time, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that this dragon bone mountain was the skeleton left behind by a dragon after its fall!
