I didn't know what to do, but Ito whispered something. I turned back and asked, "What did he say?"

Lu Xinyao said: "Sure enough, that's the case. ”

When I looked at Ito again, the latter made a gesture of "please take a seat" again: "I hope to discuss this matter with Mr. Wang in detail." ”

Ito Zhen said calmly: "I don't need to know Mr. Wang's identity, and of course I don't ask Mr. Wang why he is looking for the Great Liao Ruins, I just want to make sure that our purpose is the same." ”

I said in a deep voice, "The Golden Mask, I am determined to get it." ”

"Good. Ito nodded and said, "Our purpose in finding the ruins of the Great Liao is to break the shamanic curse. Our goals are not conflicting, so I hope to work with Mr. Wang. ”

I looked at the other person with interest and said, "You just believe me like that?"

"I believe in it. Ito pointed to the fox bell I was hanging on my wrist.

I didn't move on the surface, but my heart trembled slightly. Since the foxbell appeared, what I have experienced has been entangled with the foxbell, what is this?

I said lightly, "Do you know the owner of the fox bell?"

Ito shook his head and said, "I am not qualified to visit His Excellency the Snow Demon Fox, but I have only watched His Excellency the Snow Demon Fox from a distance. I believe in the credibility of the Snow Demon Fox, and I also believe in her heirs. ”

"Thank you. At this point, I can only nod my head, and if I continue to ask, it may make the other person suspicious. If that's the case, I'll have to work hard, so I might as well go down the river and find something useful from Ito.

Ito Zhen looked happy, raised his palm and struck me: "It's not a secret, we went deep into the Pingtian Sea this time, and we had to do it as a last resort." After being cursed by the shaman, the ancestors had become insane, and this madness was passed on to future generations. ”

"The Ito family is a famous family in Japan, and if they can't get rid of the shamanic curse, the Ito family will die sooner or later. I couldn't watch this happen, so we gathered the elite samurai of our family and re-entered the flat sky. ”

I said calmly, "I'm not interested in the Ito family, what I want to know is what happened to Ito Akikawa." ”

Ito Zhen hesitated for a moment before saying, "This matter has to start with the Kwantung Army's stationing in the Northeast. ”

"Back then, the Kwantung Army plundered not only mineral resources in the Northeast, but also historical relics, and even set up a special agency 'Special High School Second Section' to explore treasures. It was the second section of the special high school that obtained the information on the ruins of the Great Liao, and the Kwantung Army organized troops to go deep into Pingtianhai. ”

"The Kwantung Army thought that a well-equipped squadron with sappers would be enough to sweep away all obstacles and open the ruins, but unexpectedly, the squadron of about 200 people was completely wiped out in Pingtianhai. According to the last information sent by the squadron, they were attacked by bandits in Pingtianhai. ”

When Ito said this, he couldn't help but look at my face. I know that he is phrasing, after all, he is telling a history of invasion of my country, and the people opposite him are the descendants of those warriors who fought desperately for their country.

Seeing that my face was expressionless, Ito continued: "The Kwantung Army headquarters was furious, and bloodied two nearby villages, slaughtered local residents, and sent a wing to the destroyed mountain village. ”

My face suddenly darkened, and my fingers unconsciously clenched with a crisp sound. The ninja standing behind Ito Ma instantly made a defensive posture, but Ito Mao waved his hand to stop the other party: "Don't move." ”

After bowing deeply to me, Ito said sincerely: "Mr. Wang Huan, I know that the Kwantung Army once committed unforgivable crimes in the Northeast, and as a samurai, I myself am deeply ashamed of this history. Please believe that not every Japanese is a bad person, and not every Japanese is proud of that history. ”

I took a deep breath and said, "You go on." ”

Shin Ito continued, "The Kwantung Army Wing thought it would be foolproof this time, but they both failed after two tentative attacks. At that time, Mr. Ito Akikawa, the ancestor of the family, was ordered to come to Hiratenkai. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Tell me the truth, what is Ito Akikawa's identity?"

Mamichi Ito: "My ancestor was a scholar before he was drafted into the army, and he worked at Tokyo Imperial University, and after enlistment, he became the wing captain of the Ito Wing. ”

I turned my head to look at Lu Xinyao, who said, "Japan is a highly hierarchical country, and there is still a distinction between nobles and commoners. The Ito family is quite influential in modern Japanese history, and the direct descendants of the family join the army, so naturally they will not start as small soldiers. ”

I nodded slightly, "You go on." ”

Ito Shindo: "After several researches, the ancestors finally came to a conclusion: the people hiding in the Pingtian Sea are not ordinary bandits, they are the guardian warriors of the Great Liao Ruins. ”

This news made the Kwantung Army headquarters extremely excited, and they were even more determined to get the Great Liao Ruins. But the ancestor knew very well that aside from the geographical environment of Pingtianhai that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, there was also a mysterious force here that made it difficult for the Kwantung Army to advance. ”

"For this reason, the ancestor specially proposed a plan codenamed 'Thousand Feet', which was approved by the Kwantung Army Command. The content of the thousand-foot plan is very simple, that is, send people to infiltrate Pingtianhai, mix in the bandit armament, and attack Pingtianhai together. At that time, there were three people who accepted this task, Jiazu, Takeo Takahashi, a second lieutenant of the special high department, and Sun Chengtao, a great immortal hired by Jiazu from nearby. ”

I think Ito really made a "pause" gesture, turned his head to the two people brought by Old Man Sun and asked, "What's Scar's name?"

Those two people have already been scared of the six gods, just like two motherless children, wherever Ye Xun and I go, the two of them will follow. As soon as the older man heard my question, he quickly said, "His name is Gao Xiao, and he said that he is from Shandong." ”

Gao Xiao, Takahashi, sure enough, it's a homonym.

Later, I learned that the older man was named Li Yong, and the younger one was his nephew, named Li Ran, and the two of them had been trading with Scar.

I turned to Ito again: "Their plan succeeded?"

Ito Mado: "With Sun Chengtao here, their plan went very smoothly, and it only took half a year to successfully find a route into Pingtianhai, where they engaged in a fierce battle with the bandit forces and killed all the guardian samurai. However, when they thought they could sit back and relax, they were confronted with an even more terrible force, the curse of the shaman. ”

Ito Zhen said solemnly: "The Ito Company suffered most of the casualties in less than half a month, and the rest had to withdraw from Pingtianhai. However, they soon find themselves trapped in a never-ending nightmare, some go crazy because of it, some choose to commit suicide by seppuku, and some even shoot their comrades......"

"Izu had to return to Japan for treatment, but there was no doctor who could help him get out of his nightmare, so he had to turn to Onmyoji. The ancestor survived thanks to the intervention of the Onmyoji, but he has always lived under the curse of the shaman, and the Ito family has not escaped the curse of the shaman. The direct descendants of the ancestors either went crazy suddenly or died suddenly in a nightmare, and even the Onmyoji couldn't break the curse. So, we had to go into the flat sky sea. ”

I looked at Ito Mado, "What did Ito Akikawa encounter back then?"

"I don't know. Ito Zhen shook his head and said, "The ancestor said that he can't say anything about the secrets of Pingtianhai, and he can't even think about it, otherwise, he will die immediately." ”

I sneered, "Are you kidding? Since Ito Akikawa can't even say what happened in the first place, how did you know that he had suffered a shamanic curse in Pingtianhai?"

Ito Zhen looked up and said, "Mr. Wang Huan, I know that my words are hard to believe, but every word I say is true. The ancestor had been practicing Zen for the rest of his life, and Zen had a slight suppression of curses, and it was only after a few decades that he revealed some of the secrets, but the key to them was not mentioned at all. ”

I looked at Ito calmly, "Where did you see the Snow Demon Fox?"

"It was probably two years ago!" said Ito, "At that time, the family wanted to hire His Excellency Snow Demon Fox to explore the ruins of the Great Liao, but His Excellency Snow Demon Fox politely refused the family's request. It was at that time that I had the privilege of seeing the Snow Demon Fox. ”

I nodded slightly and said, "You came to the Northeast through the official this time?"

"Yes. Ito nodded and said, "But the officials don't know our true purpose." We had negotiated with the authorities before we entered Pingtianhai. ”

I quickly asked, "When are you going to go up the mountain?"

Lu Xinyao replied directly: "Seven days ago." ”

I understood that the reason why the police surrounded the mountain on a large scale was not because of the murder we faked, but to find the missing Ito Shin.

Seven days, that is not exactly the time when Old Man Sun's grandson was detained by Jin Daxian. There's nothing going to do with that, right?

I said in a deep voice, "Did Ito Akikawa mention to you about the Golden Daisen Temple?"

"Golden Daisen Temple?" said Ito, "You mean the temple dedicated to the golden ghost god, right?" He said that the second department of the special high school at that time deduced the specific location of the Great Liao ruins based on the golden ghost god. The second department of the special high school also arrested a person for this reason, and that person is called Sun Xiaoshan. ”

That's right - Old man Sun once said that his family was caught by the Japanese. It should be that the other party did not withstand the torture of the Japanese and uncovered the secret of the shaman's tomb. That is to say, the fact that Old Man Sun's grandfather recited Jin Daxian out of the Black Wind Pass is still somewhat credible.

I seem to have grasped something, but I can't figure out the key to it.
