Chapter 17 Chapter 15 Auspicious Heavenly Maiden

Fortunately, in addition to the broken candlestick, there were three other candlesticks burning in the tent. Xiong Xiao first fled to the northeast corner and pulled out another candlestick. With a loud roar, it was Wulang's gossip stick that smashed Huashan and headed towards Bishamontian. Down.Bishamonten shook his head, cut off the candlestick with a knife, and said with a sneer, "You really have a lot of tricks. I can kill you at any time. However, I will let you use all the tricks, so that you can use all your tricks." You are absolutely convinced." Xiong Xiaoxian knew that he was unlucky, and only wanted to delay for a moment.Bending down to pick up the broken sticks, holding one in each hand, setting up a cross star, the random sticks hit Bishamonten, this is the nunchuck dance method.Bishamonten responded to all changes without changing, speeding up his hands, with a single sword and double sticks, and slowly raised his feet forward, but pressed Xiong Xiaoxian back step by step.

It turns out that Uesugi Kenshin, the ancestor of Bishamonten, was known as the Dragon of Echigo during the Warring States period of Japan. He was good at marching and deploying troops, but he was still unable to defeat another powerful enemy, the Tiger of Kai named Furin Volcano. Takeda Shingen.The two are not only sworn enemies, but also sympathetic opponents.Later, Takeda Shingen died of illness, and Uesugi Kenshin became a monk in his later years. In memory of his opponent who died young, he created the Uesugi Wushen-style swordsmanship with the essence of Fulin Volcano to show his respect for Takeda Shingen.

Fenglin Volcano was originally born out of the four sentences in "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as the fire, as immovable as the mountain".Ji Rufeng means that the hand is as sick as a hurricane, Xu Rulin means that the forward moves are steady and accurate, and the immovable like a mountain means that when resisting, it is as solid as a mountain and cannot be shaken.And the most powerful thing is to invade and loot like a fire, once a move is made, the human and sword are united, it is as fierce as a raging fire, unstoppable.At that time, Bishamonten beheaded Xiong Xiaoxian's love horse, Wuyun, using the fire tactic.After a while, the third candlestick was also cut into broken sticks. Bishamonten couldn't hear the sound of the candle flame flowing, knowing that the last candlestick had also been pulled up by Xiong Xiaoxian, and said with a sneer: "It's not good to see something, isn't it?" I’m tired of playing with you for half an hour. When this iron candlestick breaks, that’s when I send you to see your dead horse.”

Xiong Xiao took a deep breath first, and shouted: "Come on!" He said in his heart: My good staff officer, you must strive for success!But he didn't know that Bu Dai Monk, who was playing chess with Staff Officer Chen, felt calmer the more he settled down.It turns out that the only opponent worthy of his attention is his guts.I really don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, even ignorant of chess theory, dare to fight against a national player like myself. Staff Chen's deadly move was neither laying a trap nor pretending to be a loophole, it was really courting death.Although there is a saying of beating the teacher to death with random punches, it certainly does not apply to the game of Go.Monk Bu Dai accompanied Staff Officer Chen's third son again out of sympathy, and couldn't help but said, "Let's go here, I'll call Commander Quan Yang to make the arbitration."

In the dark, Staff Officer Chen said with a smile: "It's over there, my black chess is not trapped yet." Budai monk touched the half of the remaining white chess in his chess bowl, shook his head and said, "That's because you remembered wrongly." All your sunspots have already been robbed, so it’s meaningless to play any more.” Staff Officer Chen said with a smile, “Why do I think you misremembered it? So you really need to turn on the light to see what happened?” Monk Bu Dai heard that Staff Officer Chen had the intention of messing around and playing tricks, so he was too lazy to tangle with him, so he rang the rope bell in the dark room.Inuyangzaki led two soldiers who also had a number of ranks in the army and walked in quickly, holding up lights.Monk Budai didn't even look at the chessboard, and asked casually, "Who do you think will win?" Inuyangzaki and the two soldiers only glanced at each other and dared not speak.After a long while, a soldier faltered and said, "It seems...it seems that the Chinese people won." Monk Budai was shocked, he turned around quickly, and almost lost his breath when he saw it.

I saw more black and less white on the chessboard.There are many black ones and very few white ones.Of course he failed miserably. Monk Bu Dai immediately came to his senses, his whole body trembling with fat, he stood up suddenly and pointed at Staff Chen, cursing: "Baga! You, you are cheating, you moved a chess piece!" All the pieces fell onto the chessboard, and only the clear and crisp sound of impact could be heard endlessly.It's like big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate, it's really nice to hear.Staff Officer Chen raised his eyebrows and said: "This iron heart wood makes a strange sound when it touches the jade stone slightly. There is no second pair of chess pieces in the world that can replace these yin and yang chess pieces. May I ask your Excellency, if you said that I moved the chess pieces, how did you move them? Can you show me how?" one time?"

Monk Budai was tongue-tied, his mind was in a mess, and he kept tumbling like boiled rice porridge.Inuyangzaki and the other two soldiers looked at each other with expressions of sympathy.Budai monk was defeated by Wu Qingyuan. Although the matter of being stimulated and abnormal in his brain is secret, the Japanese Go world will not have heard nothing about it.Especially Inuyangzaki, the Japanese royal family sent the monk Hotei here, fearing that there would be troubles, and had already given him a secret order saying that this person should not be used.But I let him play chess with Staff Officer Chen to cause the current trouble, and was trying to find a way to calm things down, when suddenly there was a thunder in the barracks outside the house, and everyone's ears were buzzing with an earth-shattering sound, so they quickly covered themselves.

Monk Budai was thinking wildly about what was the problem with today's events. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. The more he thought about it, the more he didn't understand.Suddenly there was a shock in his ears, he yelled, blood came out of his nose, he tore off his crotch pants, laughed wildly and shouted: "I won, I won, Wu Qingyuan, I am the real chess master .Aren’t you convinced by me?!” Waving the loincloth in his hand, he broke through the door and rushed away. Budai monk's body like a sumo wrestler and the kinetic energy of a locomotive, how can there be soldiers outside the house to stop him?Hearing the wild laughter gradually fade away, Inuyangzaki sighed and told the two soldiers: "Follow. Don't be rough. When the master is tired, he will naturally calm down." Two Japanese soldiers, one with 5th dan, A six-dan chess player is also a well-known figure in China.But today's incident is really a big mistake for the Japanese Go community.Without waiting for Inuyangzaki to say it a second time, he hurriedly chased after him.Staff Officer Chen said with a smile, "I don't know why the gunfire just now happened?" Inuyangzaki resumed his expressionless expression, and said lightly, "That's the person who was traveling with you. He said that if you have something to delay, If you can’t return to Saud City in time, you have to fire the cannon on time at half an hour to let the people in Shaod City know and postpone the time for burning the city. Why, don’t you know?”

Staff Officer Chen didn't say he knew or didn't know, he just smiled and thought he was lucky.It turned out that the game between him and Budai monk was really won by cheating.From the moment he saw Budai Monk, Staff Officer Chen recognized that set of Go was the secret treasure of the Qing Palace, Yuyu Baimeiqi, and it was the most favored confidant of the Imperial Palace during the Xianfeng period. , that is, the later Lafayette Empress Dowager Cixi, entrusted the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Qiying to make it secretly. Budai monk only knows one thing but not the other.The word "youyu" in this Youyu Baimei chess does refer to the jade that is used to make Go pieces.Bagua is also called yin-yang fish in Taoism, that is, two black and white Pisces chasing head to tail, swimming non-stop, symbolizing the endless meaning that black and white can be integrated into each other.But what is even more amazing is the word Baimei.

According to legend, Yehenala was conceived by her mother after swallowing plum fruits, so she likes plum blossoms by nature, and often uses plums as a metaphor for herself.But this plum blossom is not easy to serve.The Yehenala family is a wealthy family in the Qing Dynasty. Yehenala Xingzhen, as a lady of the family, naturally knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially when she has nothing to do in the deep palace, she prefers to play chess for entertainment.But she had a bad temper, especially in her later years when a eunuch played chess with her and said openly: "The servant ate Lafayette's horse." She was actually killed by the stick.Yehenara Xingzhen's husband Emperor Xianfeng was still alive during the Xianfeng period. She was not so domineering, but she was not easy to get along with.Play Go with her, if you often lose, she will feel that you deliberately made her look down on others, and she will be furious.If you win often, she will feel ashamed, and often leave the game without a fight.

This is An Dehai who always wants to accompany chess.It happened that the West Sea provided a piece of ancient eight-diagram jade from Kunlun Mountain.An Dehai listened to the advice of an expert, and asked Qiying's skilled craftsmen to make this pair of swimming fish worshiping plum chess.This gossip ancient jade, just as Budai monk said, was produced at the boundary between ice and fire in the heart of Kunlun Mountains.The black side faces the fire, and the white side faces the ice accumulation. However, due to the temperature and cold direction of the Kunlun Mountains, there have been several changes since ancient times. In fact, it has been changing with the attributes of yin and yang. Bagua ancient jade, which can change yin and yang, determines that the black and white colors of jade can also be reversed under special circumstances.The Fish Worshiping Plum Chess made by skillful craftsmen takes advantage of this characteristic of ancient jade. If six quincunx-shaped white pieces can be formed in a piece of black chess, or six quincunx-shaped black pieces can be formed in a piece of white chess, then Under the effect of magnetic mutual traction, the yin and yang poles of the chess pieces will be transformed, and the black and white colors will be reversed.In this way, if seeing Concubine Yi's complexion starts to look wrong, An Dehai, who was going to win, will make a plum blossom shape to change the game of the winner and loser, reversing the situation, and then kneel down and say that God's will cannot be violated, the slave's chess skills can't keep up with the master's God bless.If Concubine Yi's complexion is wrong again, An Dehai, who was about to lose, took a breath of relief again, saying that it was God's will to let the slave stay with the master for a while, for the master's entertainment. In fact, this theory is mysterious, and it is commonplace today.The color-changing porcelain cups often found in grocery stores cost a few dollars each. When hot water is poured, it will change from black to white, and when the water is cooled, it will change from white to black, and even red to blue.The principle of Yuyu Baimeiqi is just to change the temperature control into a magnetic control.But this thing was rare at that time, and this trick was tried and tested repeatedly, and it could make Yehenara happy every time.Staff Officer Chen's first moves were out of order, not looking for death, but laying plum blossoms on the chessboard.If it was in broad daylight, Monk Budai would definitely notice the abnormality of the color change, but at this moment, it was a game of blindfolded chess. Poor Monk Budai didn't even know how he died.Especially in the end, Staff Officer Chen used his feigned anger to pour all the two bowls of chess pieces into the chessboard, which can be said to destroy the corpse and wipe out the traces.In this way, when the magnetic field layout between chess pieces changes, it will eventually return to its original color.But at this moment, a huge cannon rang out suddenly, and the cloth bag monk seemed crazy. How could everyone pay attention to the quietly changing color of the chess pieces on the table? It's just that the stolen clothes can't be worn, and Budai monk insists on showing off the Chinese treasures looted by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in front of the Chinese.As soon as Staff Officer Chen came out of the black room, he asked Inuyangzaki: "Since I have won a game, can I ask Miss Xiuning if she would like to go with us?" Inuyangzaki nodded: "We Japanese keep our word. " Staff officer Chen cut off: "Then the decisive battle between my companion and Bishamonten is unnecessary, please order the termination of the duel, Your Excellency Commander." Inuyangzaki said expressionlessly: "Our agreement is that if you both If you win a game, you can go to see Shuning Abe. So even if your partner loses, your wishes can also be fulfilled, but I never said that the game can be terminated after the beginning. The decisive battle between your partner and Bishamonten, There has to be a victory or defeat to end the game.” Staff Officer Chen secretly complained, knowing that this was an excuse for the Japanese not to lose face too badly.However, it is well known that Xiong Xiaoxian lost to Bishamonten in strength, if the decisive battle cannot be suspended, Xiong Xiaoxian's life may be in danger.Quickly asked Inuyangzaki: "Then how is the battle going on between the two of you now?" Inuyangzaki still said in that immortal tone: "Where is the decisive battle of the imperial warriors allowed for idlers to watch. I don't know." Staff Officer Chen was anxious, suddenly With a bang, half of the tent collapsed, and the two rushed out of the barracks in shock. They saw one after another under the collapsed tent, and there were strange screams from time to time. The voices were screams in Japanese and curses in Chinese. Inuyangzaki's face really changed, and he quickly asked the soldiers to cut open the tent.I saw Xiong Xiaoxian riding on Bishamonten's body, his legs tightly clamping Bishamonten under him, full of old fists, and half of Bishamonten's ear was still biting in his mouth.The Japanese soldiers pulled Xiong Xiaoxian away with great difficulty, and saw that Bishamon's seven orifices were bleeding, with less intake and more exhaust, obviously unable to live. Staff Officer Chen and Inuyangzaki looked at each other in blank dismay, really not understanding how this ending happened. It turned out that at that time in the tent, Bishamontian concentrated his energy and guarded his moves, pricked up his ears to listen to Xiong Xiaoxian's position, and decided to use the move that once beheaded Xiong Xiaoxian's love for Ma Wuyun. .This move is a combination of human and sword, erecting the samurai sword above the chest, with the back of the sword facing you and the blade facing the opponent, and then moving the sharp blade of the samurai sword at an indomitable high speed, straight from the middle of the opponent's body Cut it in.The opponent's body is slowly separated into left and right halves while the blood and flesh are flying, and the blood is like cherry blossoms in full bloom. The horror presents a kind of bleak beauty, which is the ultimate tactic that the bloodthirsty Bishamonten loves to use. Unfortunately, at this moment, military artillery rang out from the barracks outside the tent.Bishamonten has lost his mind and eyes because of training, and at this moment he is concentrating his whole body on a pair of ears to find the location of Xiong Xiaoxian.Sudden by this loud noise, the feeling is very uncomfortable.His mind fluttered a little, fearing that his opponent would take advantage of the situation, he quickly slashed in front of him with the samurai sword, and retreated hastily.It's just that the posture of retreating was a little flustered, like a frightened bird, it couldn't be said to be as slow as a forest, and he couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, it seems that the sound of the cannon was unexpected to Xiong Xiaoxian, and he did not take advantage of this rare opportunity.After the sound of the cannon, Bishamonten stabilized his pace and resumed his incomparable demeanor of war. He pointed at Xiong Xiaoxian's position and said, "China pig, die!" Standing blankly, there was no time to react, and with a grin, the blade had already touched the center of Xiong Xiaoxian's chest muscles. There was a tooth-piercing sound of metal rubbing against each other.Invasion like fire has turned into fire.As much strength as the Bishamon angel exerted, so much strength will be exerted on him.The samurai sword that had cut through so many iron candlesticks shattered, and the mouth of Bishamon Tenhu burst and blood flowed.The chest was even more oppressive, it felt like hitting his head on Mount Tai, or being lifted into the air by an iron bull, with one corner resting on his chest.Before he calmed down, something hit him directly, and a fist the size of a vinegar bowl slapped on his nose, tears streaming down his face, it was so painful. Then the fists hit like raindrops, and it was too late to feel the pain.Bishamonten is so respected in the Japanese kendo world, and he has never had the opportunity to have the experience of fighting with street hooligans like this.In the panic, he had a little wisdom, knowing that he would be beaten to death in a moment, so he immediately performed Japanese judo and turned the person riding on the ground to the ground.How could Mr. Xiong Xiao, who was born with supernatural powers and grew up fighting and fighting since he was a child, let Bishamonten get away with it easily? His legs firmly clamped Bishamonten's waist, he pulled off the bandage wrapped around his head, and quickly wrapped around Bishamonten. The neck of the sky, strangled to death. Bishamonten's ears and nose were bleeding, and he swung the wrecked samurai sword in his hand.The poor half-human-tall blade was less than half a finger away, and it was as wretched as a nail clipper, but it was still amazingly sharp, and it cut through the cloth strips with ease.Xiong Xiaoxian was furious, touched the severed candlesticks on the ground, picked up two and beat Bishamonten above the chest and below the forehead like a drum.Bishamonten shook his body desperately, while the two rolled, the residual knife cut through three oil ropes tied to the corners of the tent, and the tent suddenly fell down, wrapping them up like a big cloth.At this time, Bishamonten was already delirious, and the last feeling in the haze was a cold ear, and then he saw the ancestor of the Uesugi family in the sky cursing angrily at his failure, tilting his head, and the rescue was invalid. Xiong Xiao first spat out half of Bishamonten's ear in his mouth, looked at Bishamonten's body and said bitterly: "Your ears are not as good as my horses, they are only for dogs!" Unfortunately, Bishamonten could no longer hear them. No wonder Staff Officer Chen didn't know that what Xiong Xiaoxian said about firing cannons to notify Shaode City was really a temporary strategy Xiong Xiaoxian came up with to deal with the enemy.Xiong Xiao had seen Bishamonten's skills first, and knew that it was unreasonable to fight hard.Seeing that Bishamonten's mind-eye technique mainly relies on a pair of ears, he tricked Inu Yangzaki to fire a cannon at half an hour to destroy Bishamonten's hearing. But this is not the ultimate move against Bishamonten.It would be child's play to expect the roar of artillery fire to break Bishamonten's mind-eye technique. The real contingency technique started when Xiong Xiaoxian chose the iron candlestick as a weapon.Firstly, the iron candlestick is long and thick, which can delay the time when it is deployed, and secondly, it is cut into iron bars by Bishamonten's sharp samurai sword.At the moment when the cannon fired distracted Bishamonten's attention, Xiong Xiaoxian seized the opportunity to pick up a dozen broken candlesticks that had been thrown on the ground in advance, clamped them with his shoulders to protect his chest for several layers, and remained motionless, waiting for the Bishamon angel to come out. Remember that the invasion and plunder of beheading a beloved horse is like fire. The candlestick is like the chopsticks, and the samurai sword is the hand that breaks the chopsticks.A pair of chopsticks will naturally break easily, but if more than a dozen chopsticks are clumped together, even if the hands are sore, there is no way to succeed.Bishamonten created the mind-eye technique but never thought that it would be a bad thing to see the end, so he slammed into a dozen or so iron bars together with his sword.The wind-like speed and fire-like strength lived up to its reputation, and six or seven of the iron bars broke immediately, but Xiong Xiaoxian was unscathed, but the samurai sword was shattered into pieces. In fact, "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is originally a six-character formula.Fast as the wind, slow as the forest, plundering like fire, immovable as the mountain There are two sentences outside: "Difficult to know is like yin, moving like thunder." .Moving like a thunderbolt means that the surprise attack is like a thunderbolt, brave and swift, making it impossible for the enemy to retreat.Maybe Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen like big battles, and don't like tactics such as ambush and surprise attacks, and intentionally or unintentionally ignored the two tactics of Yin and Thunder.Today, however, Xiong Xiaoxian played it to the fullest. The pitiful Martial God Bishamonten was beaten to death under the Yin Thunder Art.Hotei monk, the national player in the chess world, is running naked in the barracks at the moment. How Inuyangzaki will explain to the emperor when he returns is also a matter of imagination. But Staff Officer Chen and Xiong Xiaoxian "obliged" to leave this mess to Inu Yangzaki, happily and confidently asked for two more horses from Inu Yangzaki, including the original bay red horses, each carrying the easily persuaded Hideo Abe Ning returned to Saud City.Abe Shuning did not dress up in men's clothing like standing next to Doihara in the photo, but was dressed in a white kimono and wooden clogs like Inuyangzaki, just like when he saw Yu Wancheng at the Tokyo pier. It was slightly reddened by the cold wind in the early morning. Xiong Xiaoxian kept bragging to the generals about what happened in the Japanese barracks, arguing with the skeptical bearded orderlies.Under the gaze of Staff Officer Chen's smile, Yu Wancheng looked at Abe Xiuning obsessively, feeling that thousands of words were blocked in his throat, and suddenly he heard himself say a reproachful sentence coldly: "Aren't you Promise me you won't come to China until the war is over? What's going on now?" Xiong Xiaoxian turned his head dissatisfied: "Master, Miss Xiuning is the guest that Staff Officer Chen and I invited back after a near-death experience. Can't you be more polite when you speak?" But he was immediately retracted by Yu Wancheng's murderous gaze.Abe Xiuning lowered her head, and said timidly in slightly blunt Chinese: "Mr. Wan Cheng, I'm sorry, I failed your expectations. However, I have a reason to come to Saud." Yu Wancheng said coldly: "I set foot on the land of China with your group of beast compatriots in human skin. No matter what reason, I can't forgive you." I was wondering: Why would I talk to her like this?Why should I break her heart like this?Why did God arrange for us to meet in such a place, on such an occasion, and in such a way?Staff Officer Chen coughed violently, and Yu Wancheng came to his senses, he took a breath, and asked softly, "What kind of reason would make you break your oath to me?" Abe Shuning's voice was choked with sobs: "Because, because His Majesty the Emperor told me the real reason why Japan wants to attack China. He said that as long as I come to China and deal with the secrets that have been hidden for hundreds of years between the two countries, I can end this He will ask the cabinet ministers to call our Japanese soldiers back to our own land, and let the cherry blossoms of Sino-Japanese peace bloom again. Then, you and I can meet again at the pier in Tokyo in another capacity." All the Chinese generals burst out laughing, and Xiong Xiaoxian even beat his chest with laughter: "Hahahaha, little girl, as far as your scoundrel emperor and the military department are concerned, I wish I could chew up and swallow the bones of China. Will you think of taking the initiative to cease the war? I think you are thinking about our master seat crazy? Do you believe this kind of nonsense?" Staff Officer Chen also couldn't help laughing: "Even if I don't go, Zi Ning won't say anything. But for the sake of the king, I have pondered on it until now. (From the love poem "The Analects of Confucius Zheng Feng". It means that even if I don't go to see you, don't you know Echo? For so many years, you are the only one I have been thinking about in my heart) Miss Xiuning, in fact, our teacher has always been unable to let you go. Now that I really see you, the teacher is very happy and said embarrassingly, You really don’t need to find such an excuse to appease him.” Abe Xiuning was in a hurry: "I really didn't lie to you. The emperor said that we attacked China for only one purpose, which is to welcome back Amaterasu who was detained in China by your queen mother of the Qing Dynasty. As long as Amaterasu and Bachi Qiong Gouyu If you return to the Japanese mainland smoothly, there will be no point in continuing this war." Yu Wancheng waved his hand to stop everyone from laughing, and said with a frown, "I know you never lie, but you are easily deceived. Is the Amaterasu God your emperor told you a statue of a Japanese god?" Shuning Abe shook his head and said, "No, it's not a statue. Amaterasu is the greatest and most noble god among the eight million gods in Japan. He was born with the eight-foot Qionggouyu that can prove the inheritance of the royal blood. It is the great ancestor of the Japanese royal family. It came to your China a long time ago but never returned to Japan. After Dr. Doihara’s verification, Amaterasu may still be alive in this city of Saud.” As soon as Abe Xiuning said this, the Fulong Pagoda was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling. After a while, Xiong Xiaoxian stammered and asked: "Survive, survive? Little girl, you said survive? What kind of Amaterasu is alive?! "Abe Xiuning is actually almost thirty years old now, but she is petite and pretty, and she still looks like the little girl who was less than twenty back then.Seeing Abe Xiuning nodding, Yu Wancheng couldn't help pondering and said: "I also heard when I was studying in Japan that Amaterasu is the sun god, that is, the totem oracle of the sun on the Japanese flag." "And the eight-foot Qionggouyu is a Japanese national treasure alongside the Kusanagi sword and the Yata mirror. Just like the Chinese jade seal, it symbolizes the orthodox imperial power. The emperor who did not inherit the Qionggouyu is not recognized by the Japanese people in the traditional sense. , so the eight-foot Qionggou jade has always been under the strictest protection of the Japanese imperial palace, and it can only be taken out by the emperor to be worn by the witches at the time of the sacrificial ceremony and the dance of the gods. Why do you now say that it and Amaterasu are both exiled to China?" Shuning Abe said with tears: "I was told the truth by His Majesty the Emperor two years ago. The Qionggouyu left in the royal family is just an imitation. As early as forty-four years ago, the real eight-foot Qionggouyu and Amaterasu God has left Japan. As a priestess of the Abe family who has served Amaterasu God for generations, it is my destiny to accept the dispatch of the royal family and come to Saud City to find God and Gouyu. Moreover, China, China is so big, I didn’t expect fate at all Let us meet in such a small Shaod City. Do you know that when I knew that the Chinese guard in Shaod City was you, I would stand in the sunset and look towards the city every day, praying that you could leave safely, When I finally begged General Inuyangzaki to let you go, you, you were still as stubborn as before..." Yu Wancheng said angrily: "Fortunately, I didn't leave. If others know that I, Yu Wancheng, escaped because of the Japanese woman's pleading, I would rather let you see a tombstone when you see me again!" I couldn't help but rushed over and hugged Yu Wancheng tightly: "No, no. You, don't be angry, Chen Jun told me on the way here, as long as I help you uncover the secrets of Saud City Find the Great God and Bachi Qiong Gouyu first, not only to ensure that they are not accidentally injured by the flames of war, but also to save your face and help your army leave Shaod safely." Yu Wancheng blushed and glanced at Staff Officer Chen, who was about to Looking up at the sky and pretending to be innocent, he coughed and said in a slow tone, "Then how are you going to find them?" Staff Officer Chen said first: "Miss Xiuning said just now that Amaterasu and Bachiqiong Gouyu lived in China forty-four years ago, and the biggest incident in the communication between Japan and China 44 years ago was the miscarriage. The four-nation alliance plan, I wonder if their fall in Saud is related to this matter?" Yu Wancheng took a deep look at Staff Officer Chen, "You are too knowledgeable, Staff Officer Chen, aren't you?" Staff Officer Chen said with a smile: "The main duty of the Military Control Bureau is to collect and study intelligence from China and Japan, so there's no reason not to keep it in mind." Yu Wancheng Oh no more words.Abe Xiuning nodded and said: "Mr. Chen, you guessed it right. At that time, our emperor saw that China was strong, and the mother of the Chinese emperor, the queen mother, opposed the alliance. She was afraid that the emperor would reject our proposal if he was not firm enough. In order to show Japan's sincerity , sent Amaterasu God and Bachi Qiong Gouyu to the palace of the Chinese emperor as pawns." "However, following the victory of the Chinese Empress Dowager, the Chinese emperor was imprisoned. The Empress Dowager let him go, but she secretly took Amaterasu and Bachiqiong Gouyu as evidence of foreign demons to confuse the Chinese emperor. The Japanese imperial doctor fled back to Japan and told the emperor what happened in China at that time. Because if the Japanese people knew about it, it would ruin the reputation of the imperial family, and they could not question the Qing government at that time, so the emperor had to secretly deploy in order to recover national treasure." Staff Officer Chen frowned and said, "Even if the Empress Dowager Cixi seized the Japanese national treasure, she should stay in the capital. How can you be sure that it is in Shaode City?" Abe Xiuning said softly, "The eight-foot Qiong Gouyu is made of dozens of pieces. It is made of pointed and curved hook-shaped jadeite. Dr. Doihara found a hook jade that was traded in Northeast China. After unremitting investigation, it was finally determined that it flowed from Shaod City. Then I followed him in Shaod City again. The same Gouyu was purchased, and the seller confirmed that it was picked up near the Fulong Pagoda in Saud City." Xiong Xiaoxian suddenly realized: "No wonder your planes are blowing up and down, but you dare not touch the Fulong Tower. Staff Officer Chen, you already know that? I thought you were really clever!" Staff Officer Chen smiled and ignored Xiong Xiaoxian, and said to Abe Xiu Ning said: "Find Gouyu? I'm afraid that Doihara discovered it when he was plundering Chinese cultural relics, right? I'm an old enemy with you, Mr. Doihara. My broken finger is Yoshiko Kawashima, who worshiped him back then. Thanks to you. Because of the war between Japan and China, you, a Japanese girl, couldn’t search in depth in Saud City, so after reporting back with Doihara, there was the Japanese military’s plan for the siege, right?” Shuning Abe shook his head: "No, Dr. Doihara and I came to Saud two years ago. At that time, the battle line was far from advancing to Saud. Moreover, this secret has something to do with the reputation and status of the Japanese imperial family. Even the Japanese military is not qualified to know. At that time, Mr. Doihara found that someone was following us to take pictures in Shaod City, so he took me away in a hurry. Because the whereabouts have been exposed, it is inconvenient for us to go back to Saud. It is the only one in the incident that year The person who came to Japan, Mr. Kotoshi, the imperial physician, volunteered to take the guards of Abe’s family to Saud to continue searching, but there was no news of him returning after he left. General Inuyang didn’t know his whereabouts until a few days ago, but I have not heard of him until now. Still haven't seen him..." Yu Wancheng said coldly: "Old Man Shou? No wonder he speaks Chinese fluently and has a bit of an old accent. It turned out that he was a diplomatic mission to the Qing court. But you will never see him in this life." Abe Xiuning said in fear: " Could it be that you killed him?" Staff Officer Chen said with a smile: "I would like to, but it's a pity that it's not his turn. He was too timid, and he was frightened to death when he heard the female ghost singing in Saud City." Abe Xiuning wondered: "Female ghost?" Xiong Xiaoxian made a grimace: "Yes, little girl, you Japanese have killed too many Chinese people, and you will turn into ghosts singing songs to ask for your life, are you afraid? Are you not afraid?" Yu Wancheng's heart suddenly moved, and he asked in a low voice: "Xiu Ning, is there a song with a tune like this in Japan?" Yu Wancheng tried his best to recall the tune of the singing that sounded outside the tower when Old Man Shou died a few hours ago, and hummed softly twice.Abe Xiuning turned pale immediately, and took a few steps back, almost fell to the ground, and was held by Staff Officer Chen.Abe Xiuning threw off Staff Officer Chen's hand and rushed to Yu Wancheng: "This, this is an ancient song passed down from generation to generation by our Abe family witches, praising the ancestor of the Abe family, Abe Seimei, who saved Japan from the hands of monsters before he captured and killed the demon fox Yuzao "Sunset's Sorrow". It is only sung by a priestess when the royal family pays tribute. You, where did you hear it?" Xiong Xiaoxian wondered: "We just heard it in Saud City! The witches of your Abe family, oh, no, witches, how many are there? How do you feel like there are flowers everywhere in the city?" Abe Xiuning took a deep breath He took a deep breath and said, "The maiden of the Abe family can only be inherited by one person in a generation. If you have heard this song in Saud City, then it can only be her. But how can she still be alive?" Yu Wancheng and Chen The staff officer glanced at each other: "She? Who is she?" Abe Xiuning burst into tears: "The previous generation of the Abe family, my mother told me that Rizhao God has supreme supernatural powers and a violent personality. Only our Abe family's priestesses can communicate with it. So forty-four Years ago, the person who came to China with Rizhao God was also the maiden of our Abe family who was in charge of offering sacrifices to the emperor's royal family at that time, my mother's sister. She was only 18 years old that year, but Mr. Shou who came back told us that my My aunt was secretly executed as a witch after being intercepted by the Queen Mother. But, but why..." Yu Wancheng shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Maybe the song's tune is similar to your witch songs. But the singing is definitely not Japanese, but it's not Chinese, so I can't understand it at all. Or, could it be that your aunt's pronunciation is not accurate?" Abe Xiu Ning said anxiously: "My aunt is recognized as a musical genius. She inherited the position of Benzaiten in the Seven Lucky Gods when she was sixteen years old. How could her voice be inaccurate?" Staff Officer Chen heaved a sigh of relief: "So it's Benzaiten! Elder Shou, Bishamonten, Budai monk, plus this Benzaiten, half of the Seven Lucky Gods have already appeared, I don't know there are three more, sir. Who are Hei Tian, ​​Fu Lu Shou, and Ebisu?" Xiong Xiaoxian interrupted and said, "It's easy, little girl, didn't you say that the female ghost is your aunt? That's half your mother. Hurry up and let us The teacher asked who the remaining three were. The mother-in-law looked at the son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the happier she was. How can there be no reason not to explain when the son-in-law interrogated him?" All the generals lowered their heads to hold back their laughter, Xiong Xiaoxian slipped back to the back after being glared by Yu Wancheng's murderous eyes.Staff Officer Chen coughed repeatedly to hide his smile, and asked Abe Xiuning: "Miss Xiuning, what you said can explain why the female ghost in Shaod City is secretive. It is true that she is a Japanese woman in a foreign country, and It's normal to be afraid of seeing people after suffering a change. But since you are here, it is also a kind of comfort to her, and we don't need to embarrass an innocent old Japanese lady. Why don't we help you find her and return to her home country? An act of kindness." Abe Xiuning said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you. If I can find my aunt, I will definitely find Amaterasu and Qiong Gouyu. Then I can ask General Quanyang to lead the army away from Shaod City." Yu Wancheng sneered and said: "It's still unknown who wins and who loses in the end. I, Yu, really don't need a woman to intercede with me." Abe Xiuning looked into Yu Wancheng's eyes, and said softly: "For me, it doesn't matter who wins or loses." , as long as the war ceases as soon as possible, I will be happy to see you safe." Yu Wancheng was stunned, and Staff Officer Chen immediately took the lead: "Then what does Miss Abe need us to do?" Abe Shuning shyly said: "I just want to ask everyone to stay away from this tower temporarily...don't let my aunt be afraid...I, I want to present a royal sacrifice song and dance for her, and she will definitely understand that it is me when she hears it , will definitely come out to see me." The night was cold and windy, the tower was high and the city was silent, Abe Xiuning danced in the wind like a blooming white lotus, and the light singing sound spread far and wide in the quiet ancient city, all the generals were fascinated by it.熊孝先由衷地叹道：“差不多的调子，怎么声音会有这么大的区别？真是一个鬼唱，一个仙乐。配上这舞跳得，就跟七仙女下凡一样！”陈参谋点头道：“听这曲调确实是一样的，说明秀宁小姐真的没有骗我们。师座你说是吧？”听俞万程没有回答，掉头见他已经看得痴了。 熊孝先碰了碰俞万程：“师座，陈参谋和你说话呢。”俞万程这才醒悟过来：“是，是。我从你们出城时就开始担心秀宁是七福神里的弁财天，不知如何面对。现在看来我多虑了，确实应该另有一个弁财天。”陈参谋笑道：“我看秀宁小姐应该是吉祥天，能带给51师吉祥安乐的仙女才对。”俞万程道：“那可真应了你宝船七福神画上的指路仙女了。”一众谈说间时间悄悄地流逝，可是除了偶尔露出云间的月亮，没有出现任何回应秀宁歌舞的异象。 俞万程痴痴地看着额头渐渐渗出汗滴的安倍秀宁，仿佛又回到了自己离开东京码头的那天，那天的秀宁也是一样用歌舞为自己送行。不知道今天的歌舞是不是又意味着一场新的离别。然而除了入神的俞万程，周围别的将官都渐渐骚动不耐起来。熊孝先依旧是第一个沉不住气的，捅了捅陈参谋：“好参谋，你看咋还没动静呢？” 陈参谋唔了一声，脸上的神色却渐渐凝重起来。安倍秀宁越舞越急，就像在旋风中被吹卷的百合花，似乎随时都会被连根拔起，飞向天边不知所踪。口中的歌声也渐渐接不上气。熊孝先是习武之人，深知这是用力太久虚脱的前兆，正要提醒俞万程，忽然心里起了一种异样的感觉。 武师行走江湖讲究的是耳听六路，眼观八方。经过长期的体能和感官训练，熊孝先的感知力远比常人敏锐。不知道为什么，潜意识里熊孝先好像听到了在安倍秀宁的歌声之外，一阵来自洪荒的狰狞鼓点在由远及近，又像是不知名的凶兽在低沉咆哮，步步逼近。一阵战栗在熊孝先的心里陡起，很快传导到皮肤上起了阵阵鸡皮疙瘩，仿佛回到原始时代赤身裸体地暴露在遍布狼群低声嗥叫的荒野中央，忍不住就要拔枪自卫，但右手却被人一把执住。 是陈参谋制止了熊孝先拔枪的举动，此时伏龙塔周围响起了回应安倍秀宁所吟唱的古曲的古怪歌声，正是早前众人在伏龙塔里听到的凌厉鬼音。两个女音合在一起相互糅合拔高，就像黑白两根钢线缠绕着直直地往天际扎去。 两种声音的曲调虽然一样，但新响起的歌声却充满着无尽的怨恨，怨恨中又带有年华老去、良人不归的苍凉，细听下让人惊恐之余又忍不住要掉泪伤感。和安倍秀宁歌声的清远悠扬恰成反比。熊孝先忍不住擦了一下眼角：“乖乖，这东洋老太太得多苦啊，唱得让人……我看哪，她一准儿早不是活人了，你们没听这声音是从地下传来的吗？就是一冤魂不散在作怪！” 话音没落，忽然安倍秀宁旁边的一块土壤慢慢往上坟起，地上的土越坟越高，露出一个巨大的土洞，一个披头散发的黑色影子从土洞里缓缓升起，边升边舞，虽与安倍秀宁的舞姿一样，却让人觉得恐怖诡谲。黑影双足离地面差三寸左右的时候忽然停住，没脚一样悬空站在洞里。 月亮在云后露出一角，众人这才看清，原来黑影是一名衣服头发都被泥土污秽的老妇人，面对安倍秀宁缓缓地睁开眼睛。眼睛像煮熟的鱼眼珠一样白浊，显然是因为长期生活在地下不见光明蜕化了。安倍秀宁扑了上去，跪倒在老妇人弁财天脚下放声大哭。 弁财天僵尸一般看不出表情的脸上终于露出了一丝慈爱之色，颤抖着伸出双手轻轻地摸着膝下安倍秀宁的黑发。安倍秀宁抽泣着说着什么，弁财天却在不停摇头，安倍秀宁似乎在坚持，弁财天的神色却渐渐不耐，用力地推开了安倍秀宁，抬足走出洞口，捡起一根枯枝在土地上画着什么。 熊孝先这才呼了一口气：“有脚，原来她有脚哎。不然我还真当是鬼呢！哎，师座，这真的是你半个丈母娘？和你日本媳妇长得简直一点儿不搭界哎。”俞万程面无表情地回道：“你去把自己埋在地底下四十四年，再照照镜子看好不好看。”熊孝先讨了个没趣，不敢再惹俞万程，转问陈参谋：“不都说女娃见姨泪汪汪吗？怎么我看着一见面两人就呛起来了？” 果然安倍秀宁似乎不敢置信地看着弁财天写在地上的日文，伸出双手向老妇人乞求什么。弁财天脸上的表情更觉凌厉，充满了无尽的怨毒，在地上写得更疾。陈参谋皱眉道：“秀宁姑娘是请求她姨母和她回日本，可那老妇人弁财天不肯走，说要在绍德城里等一个人回来。然后，然后……” 熊孝先奇道：“等人？等什么人？这老女人怎么光写字不说话呢？”陈参谋低声道：“看来她早就哑了。所以我们才谁也听不懂她的歌声。她也没有写等什么人，但，但，不好！” 还没有等熊孝先明白陈参谋说的不好是什么意思，一直关注局面慢慢移动的俞万程已经抢在陈参谋行动之前拔枪冲过去搂住了安倍秀宁，随即原本弁财天站起的土洞里蹿出一个比夜色更黑的黑影，直扑向安倍秀宁，却被俞万程挡了一下。巨大的冲击力把俞万程和安倍秀宁两人像纸片一般直撞飞回人群里。众将官慌忙把他们扶起，熊孝先骇然大叫：“怎么会这样，那是个什么怪物？” 陈参谋涩声道：“应该就是日本的天照大神吧。那个巫女弁财天最后在地上写的是，你们日本人都不是好人，让天照大神将你们全部咬死才能泄我心头之恨！” 安倍秀宁被撞得晕了过去，俞万程吐了口血，缓缓站起来。熊孝先挠头道：“什么叫你们日本人，这老太太自己不也是日本人吗？”陈参谋摇头道：“看来当年的事件还有隐情，只是弁财天已哑，她说不出就谁也不会知道了。倒是这天照大神……” 在弁财天身旁低低咆哮的天照大神，是一个全身漆黑，但却一根毛也没有，只有坚韧的外皮紧绷绷地裹着全身结实横肉的牛犊大小的怪兽。兽脸和传说中的地狱恶鬼之脸一模一样。一只眼睛闪着凶悍乖戾的绿色，另一只眼睛上插着一根尖锐的骨头，满嘴长长的獠牙，比人的小指头还粗。要不是俞万程那一挡，只怕安倍秀宁的秀脖早被咬断了。
