Chapter 286 Falling Star Stone
The next day, he and Yan Xue took the train to Peiping.
Although there are Japanese-occupied areas along the way and people keep checking their IDs on the train, this kind of trivial matter cannot defeat them.
There are many Green Gang disciples in the Demon City Police Station. Qin Di has already obtained more than a dozen documents, and he has all his identities. He even has Japanese passports. He talks to people and talks to ghosts. If he doesn't want to speak, he might as well just slap the other party to death and jump off the train. Who can catch up with them?
Fortunately, no one was in trouble with them on the train.
In the winter of 1940, Peking seemed particularly cold. Although it was November, people on the street had already put on cotton jackets.
The entire city has been controlled by the Japanese and looks dull and dark.
Since the signing of the Tanggu Agreement in May 1933, North China has become an important "military station base" for the Japanese army. In order to achieve the purpose of occupying North China, Japan has used political, economic, military and other means to infiltrate North China, and made a lot of preparations in the overseas Chinese for Japan to invade North China.
From January to April 1937 alone, there were at least 33 Japanese people who were under the cover of the status of merchants, industrialists and students, named traveling, and actually surveying North China.
After the July 7 Incident, a large number of Japanese people flocked to 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 162,150 in 1939. Since 1940, Japan has carried out many "Public Security Strengthening" campaigns in North China. While strengthening its colonial rule over North China, a large number of Japanese overseas Chinese were arranged to move to North China. In just two years, 408,670 Japanese overseas Chinese in North China reached a new peak.
As the central city of North China, Peking has attracted a large number of Japanese people.
All kinds of Japanese people crossed Tanggu, Gubeikou, Qingdao from Shanhaiguan... trains and ships on all lines, carrying tens of millions of passengers wearing wooden clogs, pouring into Beiping, the center of North China. As of the end of December 1939, there were 16,672 Japanese living in Beijing, 45,416.
Qin Di and Yan Xue walked on the streets of Peking, walking in the downtown area. From time to time, they saw Japanese men and women wearing kimono and clogs. They heard songs spread from Tokyo. It was on the tram that was coming and going, and it was Japanese students who replaced the Chinese students to shuttle back and forth. The city of Peking was filled with Japanese figures.
After the Japanese occupied Peiping, in order to effectively carry out colonial rule, Peiping established a puppet regime controlled by Japanese "advisors". Institutions at all levels in Peiping, from the central to the localities, hired a large number of Japanese "advisors" to assist China's administrative, judicial, military, police and other businesses. These Japanese people were named "advisors" and actually served as supervisors and "Supreme Emperor" and became the actual rulers behind the puppet regime in Peiping.
Japan also arranged a large number of Japanese overseas Chinese to control educational institutions at all levels as "advisors" and "teachers". Japanese instructors in middle schools are on the surface teachers, but in fact they have close ties with Japanese military police, embassies, etc. They are responsible for monitoring and guiding school administration, and can determine the lives and freedom of principals, faculty and staff, and students, and determine the administrative affairs of the school.
Many Japanese overseas Chinese are nominally "Japanese instructors", but in fact they are all-in-one "Principals". Through the Japanese "weapon", they "can cultivate pure Japanese who can guide the mainland nations internally, educate young people externally, and educate ordinary people's lives", thus achieving the goal of eliminating the nationalist spirit of the Chinese people.
Qin Di walked past the street, saw it in his eyes and heard it in his ears, but he could not do anything, because this was a national problem and the Japanese invaders must be driven away to completely solve it.
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 Peking Man's skulls, fifteen skull fragments, fourteen mandible bones, clavicles, wrist bones, thigh bones, and upper arm bones. In addition, there were tools for ancient Apes' labor and several preliminarily polished stones.
He put the entire safe in the vacuum gourd! But he grabbed a stone in his hand and kept looking at it.
Even though it was night, he did not turn on the light and only had a flashlight in his hand, he still looked at the stone carefully, feeling quite excited, and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Yan Xue asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Is there any explanation for this stone?"
Qin Di nodded and said, "Go back first."
The two returned to the hotel, turned on the lights, and looked at the stone as big as a fist.
Qin Di said: "How do you feel when you touch it?"
Yan Xue held the milky white stone in her palm, focused and carefully, and tasted the feeling in it.
At the beginning, she felt that the stone had only a sense of heaviness, as if it contained heavy metal, twice as heavy as ordinary granite. After a while, she suddenly felt a warm current coming out, like a flame coming out of it. The strange feeling scared her and almost threw the stone out!
Qin Di approached his hand and took it and said, "This is not an ordinary stone, but a 'Starfall Stone', which is equivalent to a defective immortal stone."
Yan Xue was surprised: "Is there any fairy stone in the world?"
"It is not a real immortal stone. The immortal power contained in it is only 10% of the genuine immortal stone. It is a metallic immortal material that can be used to refine magic tools such as the "Hunyuan Jin Brick". The ancient apes didn't know where they found it. They used it as a tool of labor, which may be used to hunt elks!"
"How can you hunt elks with such a stone?"
"Because it is heavy, it can be held with one hand and thrown out and hit the elk's head, which 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 star-falling stone?"
Qin Di smiled and said, "I want to go to Zhoukoudian to take a look. If I have good luck, I might find a few more dollars."
"You want to use it to refine your weapon?"
"No, I want the Star Stone to be useful. The premise is to find a few more pieces, the more the better."
The next morning, the two appeared in Zhoukoudian, about 50 kilometers away from Beiping City. There was a Longgu Mountain here, backed by the undulating Taihang Mountains, facing the vast North China Plain, and a small river flowed through it in front of the mountain.
The place where the dragon bone was discovered in the early years was a cave. Since the Japanese invaded China, the inspectors in the cave were killed and the rest of the people were all withdrawn. Dragon bone mountain became a barren mountain, with no one even.
They walked into the cave, and it was pitch black inside and could not hear any sound.
Although Qin Di could see things in the dark at night, he still turned on the flashlight and looked around in the cave.
This cave has been dug several times by scientific researchers, and the soft areas have been carefully screened.
An hour later, he walked out of the cave, climbed to the top of the hill, used the "Dragon Search Art", calculated his fingers and looked for the direction of the dragon vein.
After looking at it for a long time, he was surprised to find that this Dragon Bone Mountain was a skeleton left behind by a dragon!
