Back in Tianjin, Zhang Guozhong suddenly realized that he was in a hurry and didn't buy any local specialties or anything. He bought a big gold bracelet last time when he went to Hong Kong. Now he went to the United States and went home empty-handed. Li Erya was nothing. Zhang Yicheng couldn't explain it either. He had no choice. He just got off the train and took a taxi straight to the mall. What should he buy? It's definitely not a common man to go back to the TV station. What do children like? Yicheng is over the age of playing with toys... Hey, buy a watch...

"Comrade, do you have original American watches? Any brand is OK..."

"No!"

"Then... as long as it is from a foreign country, as long as it doesn't have the Chinese character!" As soon as this said, it immediately attracted a circle of strange eyes from people around, which made Zhang Guozhong feel embarrassed.

"Over there!" Ten thousand salesmen were so angry that they kept muttering, "I'm crazy... I'm dressed like a rustic guy, and I'm buying foreign goods..."

Following the direction pointed by the salesperson, Zhang Guozhong went straight to the imported watch counter, "Why are they so expensive! Comrade..., how much does this watch cost..."

"Isn't that written?" A middle-aged salesperson came over with a ignorant look.

"One thousand two?" Zhang Guozhong couldn't believe his eyes, "What card is this?"

"Swiss!" The salesperson stopped opposite the counter, looking up and down at Zhang Guozhong with his eyes.

"Is there any cheaper one?" Zhang Guozhong squatted down and looked carefully. It turns out that among the many labels, one thousand two are considered cheap...

"Here! Seiko! Oriental Double Lions! Citizen!" The salesperson took Zhang Guozhong to the counter on the other side, "It's all Japanese. This kind of 47 sells the best, fully automatic, and looks good for men!"

"Damn it, why is it Japan again?" Zhang Guozhong cursed in his heart, "Hey, comrade, I'll look at that Swiss one again, thank you very much!"

"You guy...!" The waiter glanced at Zhang Guozhong and took a deep breath.

"Can you take it out and take a look?" Zhang Guozhong pointed to a pretty handsome man's watch. "It's not that one, the one with a calendar, yes, that one..."

"This is two thousand seven!" The salesperson wanted to take it but stopped, and looked at Zhang Guozhong with a squint.

"Isn't it a thousand two?" Zhang Guozhong got down and touched his pocket, and he paid about two thousand yuan.

"One thousand two is the piece next to it! This piece is two thousand seven!"

"Oh... Then you give me that 1,200 yuan and I'll take a look..." Zhang Guozhong was not happy either. He has been reforming and opening up. Why is his service attitude still so bad? Who makes whoever makes money? This is...

...

At home.

"Dad! Why do you buy me a female watch??"

"Don't talk nonsense! That's the latest trendy watch in the United States!" Zhang Guozhong deceived him, "Foreigners are interested in carrying such watches!"

"Don't 'foreigners'! To be honest, where did you buy it?" Li Erya wanted to wash clothes for Zhang Guozhong, and found an invoice from her pocket...

...

Lying in bed at night, Zhang Guozhong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. He knew too little about the history of World War II. He only knew that the United States had two atomic bombs to Japan, as well as the Nanjing Massacre and the September 18th Incident. "If you don't study World War II, you won't understand the Japanese's personality. If you don't understand the Japanese's personality, it will be difficult to guess the purpose of their repairing that hole..." He originally agreed with Lao Liu to rest for half a month before starting the investigation when he returned home. Zhang Guozhong was planning to use this period to study the battles of various countries against Japan during World War II, especially Japan's strategic and tactical deployment in Southeast Asia on the eve of surrender. The motivation for repairing that hole is likely to be related to the situation at that time.

The next day, Zhang Guozhong drove to Xinhua Bookstore and bought a lot of World War II books. Although the content mostly describes the Pacific battlefield and has fewer descriptions of the Southeast Asian battlefield, Zhang Guozhong still had to start examining these Japanese again.

"Suicide intent...Suicide submarine...Kamikaze Special Attack Team..." Zhang Guozhong looked at it and curled his lips, "It's even more crazy than hitting a guest..."

Through some more objective documentary books, Zhang Guozhong learned that the Japanese were not as greedy as they were in some old movies. On the contrary, in the late Pacific War, in order to save the defeat, the Japanese adopted various incredible strategies and tactics, and there were also some unknown crazy weapons, such as suicide submarines. The entire submarine was only two meters long and controlled by one person. The boat was filled with explosives, which was specially used to bomb warships. Later, this suicide submarine seemed to have simply become a so-called "man-fighting torpedo". As the name suggests, it was simply torpedoes "piloted" by living people. In addition, Japan's suicide intent also surprised Zhang Guozhong. Originally, Zhang Guozhong thought that the so-called suicide intent was an ordinary plane and was hit.

Later, a fish was destroyed and the jade was destroyed. Unexpectedly, in the late Pacific War, Japan invented a wooden plane specially designed for suicide by the "famous" "Kamikaze Squad". Pilots were trained for more than ten hours (the drivers trained by domestic driving schools in 58 hours were still known as "killers". They had already entered the sky after just over ten hours of learning...). This kind of plane did not have the conditions for landing and parachuting, because as soon as the pilot entered the plane, the cockpit was nailed to death, and as soon as the plane left the ground, the wheels fell off. It was a disposable plane. There were many children of fifteen or sixteen who were flying the plane, but they had to carry a full of explosives to dive to death in this flower season that should have been full of fantasy.

"The spirit is commendable... it's her mother's uselessness..." Zhang Guozhong read these messy World War II books, which was quite addictive. "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle...? Great East Asia... Co-prosperity..." Zhang Guozhong thought carefully that this thing was the motive for Japan to launch a war, and it did not attract Zhang Guozhong's attention at first. He thought it was just a war excuse that Japan was not a reason for saying it, but the more he turned it back, the more he felt something was wrong. He always inadvertently pulled this thing into the strange formation of Myanmar, "Golden prosperity... Jinwang... Stone with words... Alas... Maybe he was too concerned, who could think about sharing prosperity with it..." After closing the book, Zhang Guozhong looked at the roof, "What exactly is it? If it is for the service of war, what is its function? Win a battle?... If it is really for the sake of winning a battle, why did Japan still lose?..."

Before we knew it, it was already evening. Liu Mengmeng said goodbye to Zhang Guozhong and Li Erya and rode his bike home to have dinner. While Zhang Guozhong pretended to keep him at home for dinner, he secretly thanked, "These two children turned on the sound of the electronic game more than the airport, so they were gone..." But unexpectedly, when Liu Mengmeng went out, Zhang Yicheng turned up the volume of the electronic game again.

"Yicheng! Keep the sound down!" Zhang Guozhong arrived at Zhang Yicheng's house. If he didn't watch it, he would be angry immediately as soon as he watched the TV. "What's the point of playing this? This is! How can you write Japanese characters on the screen?"

"Swallow the world!" Zhang Yicheng had no time to pay attention to Zhang Guozhong and kept reading the strategy.

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Guozhong talked about the strategy, "What are you? Why don't you think you are so serious about studying..."

"Talking about the Three Kingdoms! Dad, give me that!" Zhang Yicheng pulled the guide over again.

"When did people from the Three Kingdoms speak Japanese? Change to Chinese games!"

"Dad, don't be old-fashioned. These machines are all made by Japan! Go out quickly..." Zhang Yicheng didn't look up at Zhang Guozhong, and he didn't know that veins were bursting on Zhang Guozhong's face at this moment.

With a bang, Zhang Guozhong turned off the TV, "Don't play if there is no Chinese! Don't play games in front of me in the future. I will tell you! You don't care about learning, and you will be more capable than anyone else when you get involved in this thing!"

"Okay, it's a big holiday, just let him play!" Li Erya opened the door, "Chengcheng, listen to your mother, eat first, and then play after dinner. Be obedient, ah?"

"No!" Zhang Guozhong's face was dark and pulled Zhang Yicheng off the bed with a bang, "Go to have a meal! Unlucky child... I don't know how to study all day long..."

"My dad...why is this going to get angry?" Zhang Yicheng looked at Li Erya with an innocent look on his face. The mother and son stared at each other for no reason...

A week later, Lao Liu's house.

"Guozhong, Young Master Sun rehabilitated his grandfather. His enthusiasm was higher than the Great Leap Forward. After five years of investigation, we may not be able to detect this matter in a few years. Do you think we are... divided into two groups?" Old Liu was lying on the recliner smoking a cigarette, stretching his back, "I'm going to Jiangsu in two days to see if there are any clues in Maoshan. How about you go to Wudang Mountain?"

"Senior brother, I'm not here to study this, I just think it's a bit strange." Zhang Guozhong frowned and took out a book describing the Pacific War, "Senior brother, read this passage!"

"...When the ammunition and food are exhausted, and the surviving soldiers plan to fight for the final battle, they feel the emperor's grace is so great that even though they are broken into pieces, they will not regret it. I will say goodbye forever..." Old Liu frowned while reciting, "What is this?"

"This is the farewell telegram from the commander of the Iwo Jima Kuririma Corps in 1945!" Zhang Guozhong's face was full of mystery.

"What does it mean?" Old Liu still didn't understand.

"According to what Sun Ting said, the cave in Myanmar was built almost at that time!" Zhang Guozhong insisted on the railway, "Senior brother, look at this section again!"

"The organized large-scale suicide attack began in October 1944. When the US military landed in the Philippines in the battle of the Wayte Bay, in order to "ensure the maximum results with weak strength," Lieutenant General Takijiro Oshiki decided to set up a decisive commando. On October 19, a 'Plane Crash Special Attack Team' was organized at Clark Airport, also known as the 'Kamikaze Special Attack Team'... Oh...! Kamikaze Special Attack Team, I have heard of this..." Old Liu looked at the sunshine, "What did you see?"

"I think the Japanese army was already anxious at that time, and they would try any tricks they could use, so..." Zhang Guozhong paused, "I suspect that the formation... is an amplified 'Hundred-Foot Cliff*'!" Zhang Guozhong lowered his voice, "And the Japanese's target is not only Myanmar, but the entire Southeast Asia!"

"Impossible!" When Lao Liu heard this, he immediately sat up from the recliner. "There is no gold net for Baichi Cliff, and... even if it is really Baichi Cliff, it will be difficult for the Japanese to live a life of that thing themselves!"

"The Japanese didn't think they were feeling well. As long as they torture others to death, they wouldn't care whether they felt well! Senior brother, think about it, when the United States threw an atomic bomb on Japan, Japan even wanted to study an atomic bomb on its own territory. In order to kill the American soldiers landed, their people didn't care about it. What does it mean to jump over the wall? This is called jump over the wall! They called this "Yuzhu"!" Zhang Guozhong sucked his teeth, "I thought so. The reason why this "Baiqiu cliff" did not work later can only be thanks to the lack of satellites in that era. It is very likely that the place was wrong! Or the thirty-six "Stone Platform Formation" had been repaired and the ammunition and food were exhausted. If the satellite photos of Song Kuan were taken to us in that era, or the emperor was gritting his teeth and carrying it for half a year, now, including him, Japan, the whole of East Asia is barren!"

"It's not that lingering!?" Old Liu was stunned for a moment, "Besides, Baichiya is Maoshan's unique skill, and it is definitely not passed down from outsiders. How could the Japanese make that?"

"Not at all, you forgot what Sun Ting said, there are more than a hundred suspected places in Myanmar and Cambodia? It's not a tunnel war, so how can you dig such a hole in hiding some treasures? If that hole is really one of the 'Stone Platform Formation', according to the size of that hole, it's not at all! Unless that is not a 'Stone Platform Formation' at all, it's something other evil ways!" Zhang Guozhong paused, "I doubt... Yun Lingzi is really dead..."

"Do you suspect it's Yun Lingzi? It's impossible, absolutely impossible! He's not dead! Our master only learned it after he took over the Jade Pendant from his brother Ma Sijia! Oh? Old Master Ma Sijia..." When he said Ma Sijia, Old Liu also began to think randomly, "Guozhong, haven't you noticed that when our master mentioned him in the past, he always vaguely? Could it be that Old Master Ma Sijia..."

Note: Baiqi Cliff:

The place where the Maoshan sects are in full swing is called "Bai Chi Cliff".

The core of Taoism's thought is to be free from the world and watch the current situation. However, everything in the world is complicated. How many people can really do the above two points? Even the nobles of a religion may not be able to achieve this state of mind. Therefore, I don't know which generation of priests were the leaders, and through their lifelong learning, they created a formation that specifically creates an environment for "no disputes with the world" after death. This is the "Hundred-foot Cliff".

Baichi Cliff, also known as the Soul Formation, consists of thirty-six "Stone Platform Formation", each stone platform is only more than an inch, and the iron net of the gravel cover is buried half a foot underground. The entire Baichi Cliff is about a hundred feet in size. It is often located in the quiet place of the deep mountains and is a place where the head of the Maoshan sect is transformed. According to legend, people and ghosts in Baichi Cliff are not disturbed, but they are truly quiet and at ease, but the actual effect and the principle are not known. Even Zhang Guozhong and Lao Liu do not know. In Maoshan's sect rules, only the head and the head disciple have always mastered the laying of Baichi Cliff. Maoshan sect has two jade pendants, one is the head disciple and the other is the inherited jade pendant (that is, the jade pendant of the head disciple). The two jade pendants are engraved with the "Stone Platform Formation" respectively.

The layout of the "Stone Platform Formation" in "Bai Chi Cliff". If the head of the sect suddenly passes, the person who takes the Cheng Jiao jade pendant is the new head (which is also a method in ancient times to avoid the disciples fighting for power and throne due to the unexpected incident of the master). When Ma Zhenren passed the Cheng Jiao jade pendant to Lao Liu, he didn't expect it to escape later. Later, Zhang Guozhong got another head of the head of the sect, so both of them knew about the "Bai Chi Cliff" (Ma Zhenren died too suddenly and did not mention this formation during his lifetime. Zhang Guozhong didn't know this thing, and Lao Liu did not know it. After returning from Wuling Mountain, the two of them accidentally discovered that this was the "Bai Chi Cliff" that was not played in "Maoshan Arts").
