I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

It is a kind of ancient percussion instrument of the Han nationality, but this item is very rare.

Not long ago, a set of large chime stones was unearthed in Heshui County, Jiangling, Hubei. They were made of blue limestone and painted with phoenixes. The colors were elegant and the lines were smooth.

Because of its high research value, it was immediately sent to the Cultural Relics Bureau for key protection.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it is very old, it would be a national treasure.

Apart from this, I have never heard of any other ancient musical instruments such as chime stones being unearthed.

But the object in front of him was obviously an old item, and it was made of bronze.

However, it is not a regular phoenix or double-cloud painting, but a pattern that looks very strange.

Yu Zhi couldn't understand it, but if the members of 788 were present, they would definitely be able to recognize that the mark engraved on it was a magic mark!

This set of stone chimes is hung in two layers, upper and lower, and contains a total of forty-one stone chimes.

And when he stood close to it, Yu Zhi realized that he had underestimated the height of this thing - it looked like it was more than one meter, almost exactly the same as the height of an adult.

With doubts, Yu Zhi tried to knock on one of the hanging bronze plates.

Logically speaking, this percussion instrument would produce a tone with a little force, but when Yu Zhi actually struck it, the sound that came out was very dull.

This made Yu Zhi even more puzzled: was it a set of bridal chimes that were transported from so far away, or was it a set of mute chimes?

He looked at Yu Kaijian in confusion and asked, "Commissar Yu, where did this set of chime stones come from? They look very old..."

Yu Kaijian naturally knew nothing about this, because before Yu Zhi asked this question, he didn't even know that what he had brought was a set of ancient musical instruments.

Looking at the bewildered Yu Kaijian, Yu Zhi continued to ask, "The Kunlun Mountain Garrison is not close to the SX Provincial Military District. Political Commissar Yu transported this thing all the way here, but he wants to send it to Mount Li. What's the reason?"

When Yu Kaijian learned that this thing was actually a chime stone, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He really didn't understand what Zhao Qi was trying to do.

"Commander, I don't know the details. I just carried out the order and conveyed it. Captain Zhao Qi said that no matter what, we must deliver this item to Mount Li and hand it over to the 788 Exploration Team as soon as possible."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Yu Zhi immediately rebuked, "Let's not talk about the fact that the roads in Mount Li have completely collapsed, and it's impossible to get in or out, let alone transport things. Even if the roads are clear, do you know how much manpower is needed to transport this behemoth? What exactly is Captain Zhao Qi thinking? Is he worried that the 788 Exploration Team will be bored, so he sent this thing up there for them to listen to music?"

Yu Zhi was extremely dissatisfied with this, while Yu Kaijian felt guilty and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He secretly complained in his heart: "Captain Zhao, Captain Zhao, you really made me suffer. You asked me to deliver a set of chime stones from such a far distance, and now I have to be criticized by the leader."

Although he thought so, Yu Kaijian still had to smile and said, "Commander, I know this is really hard to understand and implement. But you see, I have already sent it from so far away, why don't I send it up first according to Captain Zhao's wishes. Maybe it will really be of some use?"

Yu Zhi frowned and snorted coldly: "Of course it is useful. The environment on the mountain is so harsh and the conditions are so difficult. Sending a set of chimes up will just help them relieve their boredom..." After that, he walked into the office building without looking back.

Yu Kaijian didn't get a clear answer, and he suddenly felt unsure.

He couldn't figure out what Yu Zhi meant. Whether to send it or not, he had to give an answer.

Fortunately, Yu Zhi's clerk ran out not long after, saluted Yu Kaijian and said, "Political Commissar Yu, the commander is angry now, please don't take it personally. They will hold a meeting to discuss this matter. I have been ordered to arrange a rest room for you. Please go and rest first. I will definitely give you a reply later."

Hearing this, Yu Kaijian could only sigh deeply.

Before leaving, he reminded the clerk: "Under no circumstances can you lift up the red cloth. You can't let it see the sun or the moon. Do you understand?"

The clerk nodded, and Yu Kaijian was willing to go to the lounge with the clerk.

The truck was just parked in the yard, but two soldiers were stationed around it to guard it.

The soldiers passing by cast puzzled glances, but no one approached.

They were all wondering what kind of powerful weapons and equipment were transported on this truck that required soldiers to stand guard.

On the other side, the sky gradually darkened. After receiving the order to hold a meeting, several ministers hurried over.

Each of them gave the truck a double-take of confusion as they passed it.

"What is this?"

"I don't know. It was sent by the Kunlun Mountain Security District..."

"I think this Kunlun Mountain Security District is really capable of making trouble. They don't even mind the trouble of traveling such a long distance..."

Several ministers walked into the office building while talking.

However, not long after they walked in, they heard Yu Zhi's furious voice: "This is simply nonsense! At this time, the Kunlun Mountain Security District is leading the way in causing chaos!"

Hearing the angry voice coming from the conference room, several ministers looked at each other, thinking in their hearts that something was wrong.

It seemed that Yu Zhi was very angry, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and push open the door of the conference room and walk in.

As soon as they entered the meeting room, several ministers felt the solemn atmosphere.

The anger on Yu Zhi's face had not subsided, and Deputy Commander Meng Yuan also looked helpless.

After the ministers sat down, no one dared to speak first. Finally, it was Meng Yuan who broke the silence:

"Ministers, I called you all here so late because something happened. Did you see the truck parked outside? It was sent by the Kunlun Mountain Garrison..."

The Minister of Armed Forces immediately nodded and responded: "Commander, we know, but it is covered with red cloth and we don't know what is inside."

Yu Zhi was furious when he heard this and said unhappily, "It's a set of chime stones."

Seeing everyone's confused faces, Yu Zhi knew that they had never heard of this ancient musical instrument and didn't even know what it was.

So he explained: "It is an ancient musical instrument, shaped like tiles, there are dozens of them, made of copper, hung on a copper frame, and can produce a variety of tones when struck."

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on, but Yu Zhi snorted coldly and continued, "I don't know where Captain Zhao of the Kunlun Garrison got this from. Now he wants us to help deliver it to Mount Li to entertain the 788 Exploration Team!"

After hearing this, several ministers showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

They looked at each other, obviously not quite understanding what this was all about.

Meng Yuan knew that Yu Zhi was just speaking in anger, so he sighed and explained, "The one who personally escorted this item here was Yu Kaijian, the political commissar of the Kunlun Mountain Garrison. When he delivered it, he didn't even know what he was escorting, and he mysteriously said that the red cloth must not be opened, and the things inside could not be seen by the sun or the moon. Commander Shen lifted a corner and looked inside, only to find out that it was a set of chime stones. It was already outrageous that a set of chime stones were sent all the way here, and what's more, this set of chime stones was mute, and no matter how you struck it, it made no sound."

After listening to the story, the Minister of Military Affairs was speechless. He pondered Meng Yuan's words and became more and more puzzled: "What on earth is Captain Zhao Qi up to? Why did he send a set of chime stones to Mount Li?"

Yu Zhi snorted coldly and said with an unpleasant expression: "I must report this matter to the war zone. Originally, the 788 Extreme Airborne made me look at this team with new eyes. But now Captain Zhao Qi has done this again. Isn't this clearly a trick to trick me?"

Everyone present knew what Yu Zhi meant.

After the 788th Exploration Team officially intervened, the Kunlun Mountain Garrison and the SX Provincial Military Region established a cooperative relationship.

And because the 788th Exploration Team successfully airdropped and demonstrated its capabilities, the Kunlun Mountain Garrison naturally had some say in the operation.

Zhao Qi sent Yu Kaijian to deliver the set of chime stones, claiming that it must be handed over to the 788 Exploration Team, and this became part of the mission.

But now the main sections of the road in Mount Li have completely collapsed, and there is no time to repair them, let alone transport things.

Such a large object cannot be dropped by helicopter, and whether it is delivered or not has put the SX Provincial Military District in an embarrassing situation.

"This is too much. What on earth is Captain Zhao thinking? The entire SX Provincial Military District is in a state of panic, and the previous extreme blind landing of the 788 Exploration Team was not easy. Why is he, as the captain, coming to cause trouble now?" The Chief of Staff said angrily.

However, Deputy Commander Meng Yuan had doubts: "That being said, don't you find it strange? Why did Captain Zhao Qi attach so much importance to this item that he even asked Political Commissar Yu Kaijian to deliver it personally? Just to cause us trouble? Or does he not know how outrageous his request is?"

Yu Zhi was a little dissatisfied after hearing this: "Old Hou, do you mean that the Kunlun Mountain Guard Room sent this set of chime stones to help us?"

Meng Yuan smiled helplessly: "Old Shen, that's not what I meant. I just feel that there is something weird here, but I can't put my finger on it..."

Everyone in the meeting room expressed their opinions on the matter, but the final decision was not made.

In everyone's opinion, this matter is completely meaningless. It is hard to imagine how much manpower and energy it would take to deliver such a large object to Mount Li.

And for the soldiers being transported, this is also an adventure. If any problems arise during the transportation process, who will bear the responsibility?

These are all things that the SX Provincial Army needs to consider, especially when faced with transporting a seemingly meaningless item. No matter how you weigh it, this operation simply doesn't make sense.

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically and almost completely forgot about time.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was almost half past eleven at night.

The sky was still gloomy, with no moonlight or stars to be seen.

There was no wind on the ground and everything was quiet.

No one noticed that at this moment in the military compound, a gust of wind blew from somewhere.

The wind blew up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, forming a small vortex that took a long time to dissipate.

When the wind blew, the red cloth covering the chimes did not flutter at all, but the chimes inside swayed gently.

"Ding... Ding... Ding..." It was as if a pair of invisible hands in the wind were silently striking the set of chimes, and the sound was deep and melodious.

The meeting room, which was originally filled with heated discussions, suddenly became quiet, and everyone frowned and looked out the window.

"What's that sound?" Puzzled, Yu Zhi and others walked out of the meeting room and followed the sound to the outside of the office building.

At this moment, all their eyes were on the truck, and the sound obviously came from there.

But the red cloth covering it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds and was not affected by the wind at all, but the ancient musical instruments inside were jingling.

Moreover, the arrival of this voice miraculously calmed everyone's restless mood.

However, Yu Zhi frowned even more tightly, and he said doubtfully: "That's not right. The chime is a percussion instrument. It has to be struck to make a sound. How can there be any sound without a physical impact? But now, why is this thing like a wind chime, making a sound when the wind blows? And I tried it during the day, and it didn't make any sound at all..."

As he was speaking, Yu Kaijian also heard the noise here and hurried over.

Seeing that the red cloth had not been lifted, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought someone had lifted the red cloth and started knocking in the middle of the night..."

Yu Zhi immediately pointed at the military card and said to Yu Kaijian: "Political Commissar Yu, what do you think is going on? We were in a meeting, and the chime started to ring by itself. You saw it during the day, too. I knocked on it, but it made no sound. It was clearly a mute chime..."

Yu Kaijian was also bewildered when he heard this. He shook his head and said, "This... I don't know either..."

The wind on a rainy day comes and goes quickly, and soon the wind is gone.

No one noticed that under the red cloth, the magic mark on the chime stone was flashing with a faint light and then disappeared, and the sound also stopped abruptly at this moment.

Everyone looked at him in confusion for a while, and only turned back to the meeting room after they were sure that no sound was coming.

Yu Kaijian was also sent back to rest.

After this commotion, the atmosphere in the conference room finally calmed down.

Everyone felt something strange, but couldn't explain the feeling.

After a moment of silence, Meng Yuan tentatively asked Yu Zhi: "Old Shen, how is it? Have you made a decision? Do you want to send it?"

Yu Zhi looked out the window at the place where the military truck was parked in confusion. After a moment, he sighed deeply: "It has been sent all the way here. If we don't send it up, does it have to be parked here and we can hear noises in the middle of the night from time to time? Or will outsiders come and see such a big thing parked in our military area?"

Although Yu Zhi's words were somewhat angry, he made this decision after careful consideration.

Although the reason was unclear, it was obvious that the Kunlun Mountain Garrison attached great importance to this item, otherwise Political Commissar Yu Kaijian would not have traveled day and night to deliver it.

More importantly, the 788 Exploration Team is now the only team that can go up the mountain to join the archaeological team.

They must rely on this team to rescue and escort Professor Zhang and others.

And this team always gives Yu Zhi a special feeling.

In other words, it seems that all these things related to the Kunlun Mountain Garrison are a bit confusing.
