Chapter 20 The Strange Battle of the Five Elements, the Strange Story of World War II

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

When Yuan Daochang said this, he coughed violently a few times, and Yuan Xin hurriedly stepped forward to help him smooth this breath.

When the old man calmed down, Yuan Xin bowed his hand and said solemnly: "Master, I have never heard you say this before, but now that I know the history of our Yuan family, I have nothing but excitement and pride in my heart." You can rest assured, although we don't have the ability of our ancestors to penetrate the world, it is more than enough to clean up a few small thieves. From now on, we will live near here, and whoever dares to hit Yu Wangding's attention, our five brothers will let him come and go!"

Yuan Xin's righteousness was awe-inspiring, but Yuan Daochang couldn't help shaking his head, and said softly: "Wrong, Yuan Xin, you understand it wrong! Yuan Tiangang's ancestor left his ancestral training for future generations to come here regularly to take care of the Five Elements Restraint Formation, but in fact, it is not for us to protect Yu Wang Ding. The formation is maintained by divine power, which is enough to resist anyone with bad intentions, what my descendants of the Yuan family have to do is actually to dissuade such people from entering, lest they die here and add sin to the Yuan family. We save people, not kill people, and we must never say anything in the future that makes people have no return!"

"Uh...... Yes, Master. But since the descendants of our Yuan family only do things to save people, why don't we continue to do it from generation to generation, and the ancestors still have to leave a rule that cannot be left behind?"

"Ahem, I asked my father and grandfather this question, but they didn't know what the specific reason was. It wasn't until a few years ago that I went back and carefully read the ancestral teachings of the Yuan family again that I thought of the most reasonable explanation. ”

"What's the explanation?"

"In fact, the sentence 'no posterity' left by Yuan Tiangang's ancestors may not mean 'no posterity'. Rather, it means 'no more after'. In other words, by the last date deduced by the ancestor of Tiangang, the Yuan family will suffer a catastrophe, the whole clan will die, and there will be no descendants. ”

"Ah, Master, if that's the case, then what is your pain...... Could it be that the Tiangang Ancestor had already been counted thousands of years ago?"

"No, the ancestor of Tiangang deduced the safety of Yu Wangding, but he carried the rise and fall of the Yuan family. As for the pain I suffered, it seems like a mistake now. Also thanks to this bug. Let me live seventy more years. Because according to the teachings of the ancestors, I should have died seventy years ago. ”

"Seventy years ago?"

"Yes, the last date recorded in the ancestral teachings is the twenty-second year of Wuyin, that is, 1938, after Patriarch Yuan Tiangang performed the deduction technique. That year. In fact, I should have died in this Five Elements Restraint Formation. It's just that my father couldn't bear to let me die with them. He managed to save my life. Unfortunately, although my life was saved, I was also hurt at that time that will never be erased. ”

Yuan Daochang said this. There were tears in the corners of his eyes, but what he said aroused the curiosity of the five brothers of the Yuan family.

Yuan Yao, who was kneeling in the distance, couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to ask, "Master, can you tell us what is going on?"

"This ...... Well, after tonight, maybe I won't get a chance to speak to the five of you again, so I'll just make everything clear.

If you start from the beginning, you have to start from the time when Yuan Tiangang's ancestor performed the deduction technique.

It was the 14th year of the Great Cause of Sui, that is, 618 AD, and it was also the year of Wuyin. That year, Yuan Tiangang's ancestor had already arranged the Five Elements Restraint Formation, and he wanted to leave this place with peace of mind. But at that time, a piece of news came that made the ancestor of Tiangang change his mind.

The news was that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was killed in Jiangdu, and Li Yuan was called the emperor in Chang'an.

The change of dynasties has proved that the power of the true dragon that Li Yuan relied on during the uprising has worked.

Yuan Tiangang's ancestor was originally because of the power of this true dragon, and traced back to find the location of Yu Wangding. Since he can find it, it proves that other talented people can also find it.

The world is greedy, and now that there is such a place in front of us that can shape the true dragon of the Central Plains, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will seek the protection of the true dragon like Li Yuan, and the announcement of the army will cause chaos in the world.

Even if it wasn't at that time, it's hard to guarantee that it won't be in 10, 100, or 1,000 years.

Therefore, Yuan Tiangang's ancestors used deduction techniques to explore the affairs of the future generations, and found that every sixty years, a major disaster will occur in the Central Plains. This disaster may not have started because of Yu Wang Ding, but it will end in the end because of Yu Wang Ding. This is why there is a sentence in the ancestral teachings of 'Jiazi reincarnation'.

In 1938, the twenty-second year of reincarnation, a disaster occurred on the land of the Central Plains that destroyed millions of lives.

In April 1938, the second year of the full-scale invasion of China, more than 300,000 Japanese troops assembled in the occupied areas of North China, and under the leadership of Tu Feiyuan, they attacked the hinterland of China from east to west. Chiang Kai-shek's more than 200,000 Central Army and Japanese troops fought in Xuzhou for more than a month, and finally lost.

Seeing that the Japanese army was about to invade the hinterland of China, Chiang Kai-shek made a desperate bet and decided to 'replace the army with water' and excavated the Yellow River embankment at Huayuankou, causing the Yellow River to burst and flood.

The monstrous flood flowed wantonly, and the scene must be no less than the water of the heavenly river falling from the sky in ancient times. The Yellow River was artificially breached and diverted to form a large Yellow Flood Area, where nearly a million people starved to death or drowned, which was even more tragic than the Nanjing Massacre.

The people suffered and their lives were devastated, but this move did delay the pace of the Japanese invasion of China.

Tu Feiyuan's troops were forced by the flood to retreat constantly, and retreated from Henan to the northern Lubei area.

Seeing that the pace of invasion of China was blocked, some of the Japanese generals at that time who specialized in ancient Chinese history suggested to Tu Feiyuan that China should be used to control China and that Chinese water control experts be used to control the floods created by the Chinese.

And the Chinese water control expert mentioned in the mouth of the Japanese army general is actually King Yu.

The man said that King Yu successfully controlled water in a certain place thousands of years ago, and must have left a water control artifact, as long as this water control artifact is dug out of the ground, the flood can be blocked, so that the army can continue to start the pace of aggression.

I don't know what the so-called Japanese general thinks, but this dog thing obviously knows more about Chinese customs than many other foreigners. Otherwise, I would not have come up with such a strange trick like 'worshiping the river god and praying for wind and rain' and 'worshipping the dragon king for rain'.

However, Tu Feiyuan also believed his words, and really sent a force, led by the Japanese general, to Yucheng, the hometown of Dayu, to excavate the artifact of water control.

At that time, the total population of this small county town was only 100,000, and all women, children and old, were arrested by the Japanese army and dug holes everywhere.

More than 100,000 people, controlled by only a few thousand Japanese soldiers, think about what a sad thing!

My father and I happened to be here at that time, because that year was the last date marked in the precepts. We have already come here in advance to guard the Five Elements Restraint Array.

I was six years old. I remember very clearly that the brutal Japanese soldiers drove those who resisted, the old and the young, women and children who could not work, to one place. Practice their killing skills and compete with killing as a game of countless dead.

The World War II mass grave dug up nearby two days ago. That's when it was created. I even threw a handful of dirt into the pit with my own hands.

This kind of thing happens. Although my Yuan family has a unique secret technique, they can't kill thousands of Japanese devils with their bare hands and resist their guns. The fathers discussed it in private. It was decided to use the Five Elements left by the ancestors to restrain the Great Array and resist these invaders.

In fact, what kind of 'water control artifact' they are looking for is Yu Wang Ding. My Yuan family knows where Yu Wang Ding is, and they know how to enter the formation.

The father pretended to be coolies and pretended to have accidentally dug a hole in the ground to attract the attention of those Japanese soldiers. And brought all their main forces into the formation.

I was too young to follow, but was held hostage in the Japanese barracks.

I don't know what's going on underground.

Seven days later, my father and uncle were escorted by more than a dozen remnants of the Japanese army and walked out of the ground, and the others were nowhere to be found.

The troops of several thousand people were almost completely wiped out, and there were only three of us left in my Yuan family.

When facing the Japanese general who was left on the ground, my father and uncle resisted, fought to the death, killed the only remaining Japanese soldiers, rescued me, and then took me back into the Five Elements Restraint Array.

In that dark cave, both my father and uncle were seriously injured and dying. And at this time, the uncle suddenly took out the ancestral teachings, pointed to the above sentence 'Jiazi reincarnation, there can be no queens' and laughed madly, while saying that the ancestors are like gods, and at the same time they want to kill me according to the regulations of the ancestors, so that the Yuan family will be completely left behind.

I was terrified, thinking that my father would save my life, but I never expected that my father would also say that he would follow the teachings of my ancestors.

I remember that scene vividly, my father walked towards me step by step with a bayonet he had snatched from the Japanese soldiers. The sharp blade was no more than a centimeter from my neck.

I was so frightened that I forgot to cry, thinking that I was about to die at the hands of my own father.

Who knows, the next moment, the father suddenly waved the bayonet. I felt a terrible pain in my legs.

A moment before I fainted, I saw my father lift me up and throw me out of the hole, and then he pulled out a grenade and pressed it against the entrance of the hole.

That was the last time I saw my father, and by the time I woke up, I was already asleep in the house of an old Chinese medicine doctor.

I had one thing missing from under my belly, and one more bluestone shard on my shoulder. ”

Daoist Yuan rubbed the shard of the slate in his hand, weeping silently, and after a long while, he raised his head and continued, "You five understand now. I should have died a long time ago, but my father couldn't bear to kill me, so he threw me out of the hole in the ground. But he did not violate the ancestral teachings, and truly made the Yuan family completely undescended.

Later, I was cured by that old Chinese medicine doctor and raised by him. For decades, he has lived in this small county.

The skills and classics handed down by my Yuan family since ancient times have completely disappeared with the death of my father, and the things I know are those that I remember before the age of six, although it is only a small part of the Yuan family's inheritance, but it is enough to be a master of metaphysics in modern society.

Zuxun has long been lost with the death of my uncle, but I always remember the sentence 'Yuan's lineage, generation counting, Jiazi reincarnation, there can be no queen'.

Over the years, my health has become worse and worse. The deadline is approaching, and my only wish is to find the entrance to the Great Array of Five Elements Restraint and follow my father's generation.

It's a pity that after looking for so many years, there is not the slightest clue, until a few days ago, one of the inverted round tripods in the shape of the Five Elements Restraint Array was destroyed, and I had a trace of eyebrows.

Finally, today, I found a passage that could enter the formation.

Okay, I've made it clear to you what needs to be said, now help me up. ”

Yuan Daochang waved lightly, and Yuan Xin and Yuan Sen hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man up.

A group of six people slowly walked to the big pit surrounded by nets, Yuan Daochang finally looked up at the night sky, raised his hand and pointed, and said quietly: "Send me down." After fulfilling my last wish, the five of you will go home separately, and from now on you will be an ordinary person, and you will no longer care about Yu Wangding's affairs. Let all this, with my death, disappear completely. ”

Yuan Daochang said in the end, shook his body suddenly, calmed down Yuan Xin and Yuan Sen beside him, and strode down the slope of the pit into the ground.

The five brothers of the Yuan family glanced at each other, swallowed their saliva in unison, and walked down with their master.

Not long after the six of them entered the ground, a Volkswagen Passat and a Changhe bread drove quickly to the edge of the orchard.

The person who walked down from the Passat was the man in the suit who had just talked to Yuan Daochang.

The man in the suit stepped to the edge of the pit fenced by the net, looked left and right, and then turned to pick up the bluestone slab that had been set aside.

This bluestone slab is more than one finger thick, three inches square, and it is estimated to weigh 100 catties, but in the hands of the man in the suit, it feels as light as cotton.

The man in the suit carefully covered the hole with a stone slab, and then with a wave of his hand, five or six young men in military uniforms got out of the van outside. The men hurried to the pit and, without saying a word, began to fill the pit with earth.

In less than three minutes, the ground was leveled, the mesh was removed, and everyone was gone, as if nothing had happened.

The five brothers of the Yuan family did not know that their back road had been blocked, and the five of them followed the master in the dark, until they came to a stone gate built by a cyan situation before stopping.

Yuan Xin turned on the flashlight to illuminate the stone door, Yuan Daochang groped on it a few times, and then the whole person slammed on the door, and his feet were forced.

There was a "squeak" sound, and the stone door opened in response, and the flashlight shone in unimpeded.

It's just that before they can see the situation behind the gate, a shout resounded in everyone's ears.

"I started the army at the age of eight, and I have experienced more than 70 battles, and those who should be broken, those who are struck are served, and I have not tasted defeat, who dares to fight today!" (To be continued.) )
