Northeast China, the most remote border bitter cold place. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early morning.
The wind was cold, and the dripping water turned into ice.
In a dense mountain forest that is inaccessible to people, a wooden house was built at some time and year, and now it is already dilapidated.
There was a soft creak, echoing in the silent mountain forest, and it was exceptionally clear.
A few frightened roe deer and fawns fled as fast as they could, leaving trails in the thick snow. Fluttering edges, birds shuttle through the forest, and the slightest fluctuation shakes down large swaths of snow in the treetops, fluttering and falling.
An old man with a scruffy beard, unkempt hair, and a shabby cotton coat stepped out of the open door.
Wearing thick cotton gloves and a leather cotton hat, with his waist bent and his eyes cloudy, he seemed to have not woken up, as if he was old and mentally weak, and he staggered, holding in both hands a simple broom tied with vegetation, and swept the snow around the hut under the platform on which it was erected.
After sweeping the surroundings of the hut and cleaning the three floors of stairs, he did not go down the stairs, as if he had no strength anymore, and as if he did not see the thick snow under the steps, he turned and walked to the bench beside the door of the house, and sat down.
At this time, the temperature drops as low as minus 35 degrees.
The old man, as if he did not feel the cold at all, sat down on the bench, closed his eyes, and soon seemed to be asleep.
The hot breath exhaled from his nostrils soon hung a layer of hoarfrost on his beard and eyebrows.
It is hard to imagine that in this mountain forest where there is no sheep intestine trail within a radius of dozens of miles, there will be such a lonely old man, who has been here since the late spring and early summer of 1992 and has lived until now.
What is even more unimaginable is that the old man lives here, but his consciousness is divided into two, thousands of miles away in the Oriental island country, in a house surrounded by mountains and rivers, he controls an apprentice who is willing to be a puppet and has been controlled by part of his consciousness for several years, every day without saying a word, walking, sleeping, eating, and then, sitting cross-legged in the bedroom, guarding a telephone. In addition to this, there are three people who take turns caring for the "walking dead".
This old man is a well-known name in the global magic world, and he is also the leading onmyoji in the East, Matsumoto Aone.
It has been more than six years since he was complacent, and the land has been designated as a prison for more than six years.
On the third day after the earth-shattering but not shocking war, Matsumoto Aone's eldest apprentice, Koizumi Tadaichiro, was seriously injured and carried the scroll that he finally snatched at any cost, desperately and frantically escaped, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the world's major mysterious organizations and forces, and came to this primeval forest.
When Matsumoto Aogen arrived, he only saw the eyes of his eldest apprentice, Tadaichiro Koizumi, who were blinding.
In the lifeless eyes, there seems to be grievances, unwillingness, anger and helplessness......
After that, Matsumoto Aone returned to the Orient, handled and arranged all the affairs as quickly as possible, and then quietly went to China alone, and came to this primeval jungle near the junction of the two countries and the border of China.
For several years, Matsumoto Aogen was complacent, relying on his magic cultivation to observe the heavenly opportunity, check and fill in the omissions little by little, and pick out a little clue from the heavenly machine. In the end, what happened to Koizumi Tadaichiro before he died, as well as the next clues of the person who snatched the scroll, were roughly deduced. It's like a stubborn and single-minded director, desperate to fulfill his dreams, and made a self-appreciative and self-conscious perfect movie.
Koizumi Tadaichiro died a miserable, very, wronged!
At the most intense moment when the Great War broke out, Matsumoto Aone led a group of apprentices and dead ninjas to lurk on the periphery of the battlefield far away, waiting for the moment when the war ended, and paying attention to the movement of the scrolls.
The decades-long Cold War that followed the end of World War II finally came to an end, and the vast Soviet Union fell apart.
Matsumoto Aogen was entrusted by the Oriental government to cooperate with the spies of the Oriental intelligence department who had been lurking in the high-level and special departments of the Soviet Union for a long time, and after the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union, which caused the great chaos, he fished in troubled waters and obtained the original copy of the "axis of the earth".
That is, the scroll.
Due to the turbulent political situation of the Soviet Union at that time, the secret agents of many countries and the intelligence personnel of many mysterious organizations around the world discovered that the Oriental spies and the capable apprentices of the Matsumoto Aone dispatch had stolen the "Earth Axis" and were on their way out of the Soviet Union.
Therefore, it is not so much that the earth-shattering and unassuming secret battle lasted for three days, but rather that it lasted for nearly a month.
The battle for the supernatural, which far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, began on the day of the collapse of the Soviet Union and lasted until the day Matsumoto Aogen's apprentices died in this primeval jungle.
Matsumoto Aogen had a plan from the beginning, and the apprentice who stole the scroll was just a pawn to die.
In the battle to lure the global power, Matsumoto Aone led the elite under his knees, lurking in the shadows to wait for work and steal the final fruit. As he expected, Hu Xiaoxian, the "Infinite Holy Hand" from the rivers and lakes of Qimen in Huaxia, obtained the scroll in the melee of many mysterious powerhouses around the world, with his strong strength and unexpected attack and snatching, and escaped from the chaotic battle circle in the chaos. When he was found to have taken away the scroll, the powerhouses of the world's major mysterious forces wanted to hunt down and kill, but they were blocked by the top masters from the Huaxia Qimen rivers and lakes who worked together - the major forces in the world couldn't understand why the Huaxia people, who liked infighting the most and were the most selfish, would unite so inexplicably at this time?
It wasn't until much later that Matsumoto Aogen and many of the world's top people who participated in that war suddenly understood that the Chinese people were fighting internally, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, when they were external, and in times of crisis, they would quickly unite together.
There is no need for deliberate liaison and agitation.
You know how!
To the selfish Huaxia people, in this case, they will only think: "Damn, whoever snatches it is the same, whoever wants it, we can snatch it desperately after we go back, and now the most important thing is that the scroll must be obtained by our Huaxia people." ”
So Matsumoto Aogen, who was lurking in the periphery and was ready for the benefit of the fisherman, was proud of his decision-making for a short time.
Hu Xiaoxian, the Wuji Holy Hand who was wounded in the battle but still calmly left the battlefield, was ambushed by Matsumoto Aone and captured the scroll. And then arrived in the Huaxia Qimen rivers and lakes of many masters, as well as the world's major mysterious forces of the powerhouse, quickly joined forces to recapture the scroll from the hands of Matsumoto Aogen, as a last resort, Matsumoto Aogen asked the big apprentice Koizumi Tadaichiro, with the scroll to escape with the ninja escape technique, and he led the people under his command to fight against the world's top magic world and superpower powerhouses, mediation, with fake scrolls to confuse, inside......
After half a month of fierce fighting, Matsumoto Aone finally relied on his own mind and precautionary arrangements to bewitch the major forces in the world, so that they didn't know who took the scroll away.
While everyone was continuing to track down the scroll, Matsumoto Aogen didn't expect that his eldest apprentice, Koizumi Tadaichiro, was seriously injured and fled to Huaxia with the scroll, but he died unexpectedly, and the scroll was missing.
In the next few years, Matsumoto Aogen rested on his laurels and exhausted his efforts, but the real situation was deduced: when Koizumi Tadaichiro fled here, he was exhausted, and he happened to meet a panicked ordinary Chinese person, and then, he was killed.
The rough result was deduced, but Matsumoto Aone did not return to the East, but through the puppet body, he informed the most trusted, smallest and best apprentice Kawada Goichi of his calculation results, and asked him to follow the calculated clues to go to China to investigate.
Although Kawada Goichi is young, he is resourceful, and according to the clues given by his master, he found extremely valuable clues in the shortest possible time.
In 1992, China's economic environment for opening up to the outside world was in a stage of rapid development. At the foot of the Son of Heaven in the capital, it is easier to get some insider information earlier, and among the businessmen who dare to take risks in the sea, there is a group of businessmen who have been illegally going to and from China and the Soviet Union all the year round, commonly known as the "fallen master", among the thousands of fallen masters, there is one of the most bold, quite born and educated fallen masters, who were doing business in the territory of the Soviet Union at that time, coinciding with the chaos of the collapse of the alliance, because of the illegality, they were weak-minded, and hurriedly fled from the Soviet Union, and when they returned to China, they did not dare to be open-minded, so they had to cross the border alone. Attempt to cross the untouched primeval jungle. This unlucky unfortunate lord happened to meet the seriously injured Koizumi Tadaichiro on the way, and saw the quaint scroll, the greedy man, who had some skills in antiques, so under the lust for profit, killed Koizumi Tadaichiro and took the scroll away.
Not long after, the old man returned to the capital and sold the scroll at the antique market for a high price of 8,000 yuan to an old man from the south who had come to the capital for a tour.
Since then, the trail has been interrupted again.
Kawada Goichi spent countless manpower, material resources, financial resources and energy to find the undead fallen master, inquired in detail about the experience, and at any cost, asked Xu Lin to find the fortune tellers on the Qimen rivers and lakes in Huaxia, with the general clues, deduced and calculated countless times, and then reported these results to the domestic "master" Matsumoto Aogen.
Matsumoto Aogen, who was on the border of China, carefully calculated and gave the result to Kawada Goichi.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and they knew who the old man who had bought the scroll for 8,000 yuan was. I also learned about the old man's accidental death in Yannan City, and then found out that the old man lost the scroll to Chen Jin before committing suicide by throwing himself into the lake.
