    I immediately told Situ my discovery, unable to conceal my excitement in my tone.  Situ said, this is it. Since there is such a symbol, it means that the person who hid the thing must be one of the White Lotus Sect.  I asked Situ, how did you know there were such symbols nearby?  Situ said that he actually had a guess, because the White Lotus Sect has been relatively secretive for many years, and they rarely call themselves the White Lotus Sect to the outside world. They mostly call themselves the White Sect.  Spreading messages through rivers and lakes has always been a method. For the White Lotus Sect, they have always had a habit of leaving some marks that are easily recognized by the sect when something is done in a more obscure way.  They all refer to very specific symbols, maybe a paragraph, maybe a poem. As long as it serves the purpose of reminding the other party, it is considered to have achieved its purpose.  Situ explained to me that the red circle on the left is indeed what you said, representing the sun.  The golden crescent represents the moon.  People in ancient times had very limited understanding of current science. In their view, the sun is fire, so it is red. When the moon is filled in at night, it is golden or even white. When the sun and moon alternate, it is  When the sun sets in the west, the color of the setting sun happens to be red. If this symbol appears in other places, there may be another explanation, but if it appears in your current place, it must refer to Mingjiao.  .  Situ also said, as for where the things you said you were looking for are, since I can¡¯t be there in person, I can¡¯t help you find them.  But I did a little analysis and found that if the distance between the location of the Buddhist niche and the Bone Pagoda coincides with the middle point of the river, then you can start searching for the center of the river.  If the direction of this symbol is consistent with the direction of the Buddha statue in the Buddhist niche, then you should look in the direction of the Buddha statue, but that thing must be within the range where you can see the Buddha statue and this symbol.  I told Situ that there was no Buddha statue inside, but judging from the direction of the opening, it happened to be facing the river, which is the direction of the Bone Pagoda, and the same was true for the symbol.  Situ said, "That's basically correct. You should go to the middle of the river and look for it now."  I asked how to find it. There is no river now and it is all gravel and weeds. How could things from so many years ago be hidden among the piles of rocks without being discovered?  Situ snorted and said, "Who told you that it must be hidden in the pile of rocks?"  I said where else could I hide? The surrounding area was empty.  Situ thought for a while and said, do you have a compass with you?  I said of course I would never leave it without this thing.  Situ said that's fine. The compass can find things with different magnetic fields around it. Try looking for it. Unless it's a stone tablet or a book that the man hid, you should be able to find it.  After thanking Situ, I hung up the phone. Although I covered my head with clothes, I was still a little breathless.  I waited for the phone screen light to go out and then got out.  I told Hu Zongren what Situ said. I knew that Hu Zongren had always admired Situ. Earlier, I had hoped to use my relationship to let Hu Zongren call Situ Mr. Yiyi and toast him a cup of tea.  Maybe I can learn some skills from Situ.  But Hu Zongren refused. He believed that if he got too close to Situ, his original respect would gradually fade away. Rather than this, he would rather be an admirer of Situ.  Moreover, although my craftsmanship is not first-class, it is still adequate in the industry. Among the younger generation, I can be considered a rising star.  So when Hu Zongren heard about it, he praised Situ for being so awesome.  So I stood next to the Buddhist niche, looking in the direction of the broken bone tower, then turned around and started to retreat. As expected, as Situ expected, when my footsteps happened to reach the middle of the river, if I continued walking forward  , I won¡¯t be able to see the mysterious symbol.  So I stood still, found the correct location, and started moving left and right along the river. I found that there was a distance of about ten meters where I could see the opening of the Buddhist niche and the symbol. The other distance would be somewhat blocked.  According to Situ, the range immediately shrank a lot, to just over ten meters.  But the distance of more than ten meters is full of gravel, rubble, and weeds. Only a fool would hide things here.  So I began to guess whether it was buried underneath. If that was the case, the thing must be able to withstand the corrosion of rainwater for many years, and it must not be discovered by anyone.  So I took out my compass and started to stick to the ground, searching inch by inch along the distance of more than ten meters.  When he reached about 5 meters, the compass started to beat irregularly.  And when I looked at the ground, there was nothing but weeds and gravel. Buried underneath, it could have a magnetic field effect on the compass, so there must be something metal underneath.  The compass pointer itself is magnetic, just like a compass, and it is inherently very sharp. In addition, when I first started training, my master gave me this compass and granted me an opening spell.??'s compass may be more sensitive than many other ordinary compasses. Not only that, over the years, I can even measure the compass according to the speed of rotation of the compass pointer, the amplitude of the pointer's movement, and the original compass.  Gradually, the angle between the direction and the pointer can be accurately used to do many spiritual things with the help of the compass.  Fotuguan is a historic site. Even if there are some modern buildings in such a place, at least there are none where I am now. It is desolate and must have been closed for many years, so if this place is not haunted,  There shouldn't be any magnetic field reaction. Now that the compass has begun to rotate, it means that the thing buried underneath must be metal.  The metal itself has a magnetic field, so the compass can easily feel it.  I told Hu Zongren that something was buried under this place, but since we didn¡¯t bring any digging tools with us, Hu Zongren could only go to other parts of the river to find some slightly sharper stones. Hu Zongren and I  He started lying on the ground and digging very hard.  This process lasted for about half an hour. During this process, I was very worried that the four guys from the White Lotus Sect would break our story.  But gradually I felt relieved, because I guessed that the air-raid shelter was quite big, and those people would probably spend a long time looking for things just like us.  But we were luckier than they were, and we were able to find it, while they were doomed to come back in vain today.  With a crisp clang sound, the stone in Hu Zongren's hand hit a metal object, making a slightly echoing sound.  This shows that the metal thing underneath is actually hollow inside.  Maybe it's an iron box or something.  If the ironware is buried underground all year round, it will rust due to running water and other reasons in the soil. In addition, Situ's analysis shows that this thing was buried at least before 1958. It has been more than 50 years. I don't know if the things inside are still there.  Are you there?  So Hu Zongren and I began to dig along the edge of this metal thing until we dug out something like a box. We shook it back and forth to loosen it in the soil, and then the two of us worked together to lift it out.  The box is about 24 inches in size, rectangular, and about ten centimeters high. Logically speaking, such a metal box should be heavier in your hand, because it is made of metal.  But when Hu Zongren and I lifted it up, we found that it was not as heavy as we imagined, but light and airy. However, we could clearly feel something swinging around inside, making a slight sway.  After putting the box down, I took a closer look. It was a copper box. No wonder it was buried underneath. On the four walls of the box, there were many small holes the size of nail holes. The direction of the openings was from the outside to the inside, just like  It looked like someone had used nails to drill countless small holes around the box.  Is it for ventilation?  The soil here is inevitably moist due to rain. Aren't these small holes allowing rainwater to seep in?  I started looking for the opening and closing of the box, and found that there was a padlock there, but the lock was probably not made of copper, so it corroded and fell off. I just tapped it lightly with a stone and opened the box.  .  Originally, this thing did not belong to us, and we had no reason to open the box.  But curiosity is hard to explain, especially when Hu Zongren and I know that the things here are related to our metaphysics.  In ancient times, no matter how sanctimonious a gentleman was, when he encountered a peerless martial arts book, he would inevitably want to find out what it was. I think Hu Zongren and I probably had this mentality at the time.  However, we convinced each other that it was difficult to carry the box around, so we needed to take out the contents before opening the box.  But when I opened the box, I couldn't see anything inside. So I started shining a flashlight on it. This photo didn't matter, it scared me so much that I sat on the ground.  In the middle of the longer direction of the box, there is a slightly convex inner box. The inner box is probably welded to the box. There is a lid on it, like a candy box, that does not require a lock and can be opened with just a little force.  .  It occupies a very small area, but other places are densely covered with countless earthworms.  It squirmed repeatedly in front of me. That scene instantly reminded me of those disgusting American alien movies I watched when I was a child, and I almost vomited out.  After Hu Zongren saw it, he also took two steps back. Only then did I realize that the small holes on the four walls of the box were used for earthworms to get in.  So I immediately went to look at the pit we dug and found that although the surface was very dry, it was relatively moist underneath. I thought that even if the underground river stopped flowing, the underground water would not stop.  Just when I was about to persuade Hu Zongren to reach out and take out the little thing from the pile of earthworms, there was a clang behind my ears, just like the sound of a pan hitting a hard object. I quickly turned around and saw four people standing in the night.  A dark shadow, but Hu Zongren lay on the ground, covering his head and groaning in pain.
