been rebuilt, maintained and enhanced. They believed that the people at that time will discover different things
during reconstruction. As what they think, they found many construction plans and information about the wall
which was written and drawn during the Ming Dynasty. After that, they used computer software to compare the
differences between the Great Wall nowadays, in the Qin Dynasty and after the Ming Dynasty. Finally, they
found out the differences.
Having done a lot of research, they thought that the information would be very useful. Even so, it
didn’t help at all. Somehow nobody had written down any strange things during construction. Most of them just
described the changes and the history of it. Decidedly, they set off to discover the truth earlier than what they
have planned.
During the flight to the Great Wall, Adam was watching the news report. Suddenly, he heard
astonishing news,
"
A book written in the Han Dynasty was discovered in Tianjin. The writer, Ying Gao, who claimed
himself as the eighth generation descendant of Qin Shi Huang, wrote that he had discovered the secret of the
Great Wall. He found that there was a cave hidden under the wall, yet, it was no able to open it. Many scientist
and Archaeologist claimed that this is impossible……"
After Adam heard that threatening news, he was shocked. His mind was blurred and turned white for
almost one minute. Then, His soul went back into his body. He calmed himself down. He analyzed the
information carefully and combined with the news clues he knew. He drafted the plan at once. After that, he
started his discussion with Albert.
"
Do you think that what the man wrote is true?" asked Adam curiously.
"
Maybe, because he is same as you, descendant of Qin Shi Huang." said Albert.
"
So we can find the secret according to this new clue!" said Adam delightfully.
When they arrived at the Great Wall, all at once, they checked all the places had been reconstructed. In
a moment in the blink of an eye, they finished checking all the points. Disappointingly, nothing was discovered.
After working for several days, they decided to go back to the basic, to check all the information once more.
"
Look, Albert. I have found something very strange. I have just checked the comparison between the
plans of the Great Wall in three eras once more. Surprisingly, I found that five of the beacon was not affected.
They were remaining unrepaired." said Adam.
"
So why don’t we started our mission at these five beacons?" asked Albert.
"
I have also found out the location where Ying Gao discovered. According to what he said, it must be
somewhere around Shanhai pass." said Adam.
Then, they restarted their adventure. The first beacon was located in the Jinshanling. When they arrived,
they found that a round bronze plate, which looked similar to the pendent of Adam’s necklace, was stuck on the
top of the beacon. On the bronze plate there were some Chinese words, written in the style of Small Seal Script,
which meant "Truth will conquer". At the same time, they found that behind the bronze plate, there was a mirror.
Albeit it was only a normal mirror, they still look carefully into the mirror.
The second beacon was located on the top of Badaling. Although they found the same thing as the first
beacon, a bronze plate with Chinese words written in the style of Small Seal Script, the words were different. It
meant "Don’t want others to know what you have done? Better not have done it anyway ". Moreover, they also
found bronze plates in the third and fourth beacon too. The third one was located in the Juyong Pass and fourth
one was located in the Shanhai pass. There were also Chinese words written in the style of Small Seal Script on
it. The third plate meant "Three people spreading reports of a tiger make you believe there is one around" and
the fourth plate meant "Truth fears not the flames of slander and injustice". Similarly, they both had a mirror
behind.
The fifth, which was totally different from others, was located in the Jiayu Pass. Notwithstanding, there
was no bronze plate or mirror in it, a shallow pit could be found. After observation, they couldn’t think of a
thing that will fit to its size.
When they went back to the hotel, they started to conclude about the things they had spotted out today.
Adam had jointed down all his points.
"
Here are the sentences on the bronze plate, they are
"
Truth will conquer",
"
Don’t want others to know what you have done? Better not have done it anyway",
"
Three people spreading reports of a tiger make you believe there is one around" and
"
Truth fears not the flames of slander and injustice"
"
But what do they mean? Are they hiding any secrets or they are the clues?" asked Albert, with big
question mark up on his head.
"
I don’t know, but what I think it must mean something essential." answered Adam.
