Chapter 190: The Cicada's Shedding Period of the Eight Evils (2)
The "Hateful Eight" are not living beings, but some kind of alienated soul. I can't accurately describe their state of existence, but I do know that they are not ghosts, but have entered some kind of "cicada metamorphosis" after a long and rigorous ninja practice, where their bodies degenerate and their spirits remain forever.
There is a detailed description of the "cicada metamorphosis period" in the ninjutsu classic "Wanchuan Jihai", which uses about three chapters to explain the formation, development, deepening, dormancy, liberation, metamorphosis, and godhood of the "cicada metamorphosis".
I can only explain it in such a general way - "The Eight Evils are not dead, but they are in a special state of 'living', and as long as the external conditions are suitable and the internal conditions are ripe, they will reappear in the world and return to their original state." β
In Chinese Taoism, there is "returning to the yang", there is "returning to the spirit" in metaphysics, and there is "knowing return, reincarnation, and rebirth" in Tibetan secrets, which is almost the same as the meaning of this "cicada metamorphosis" in ninja Taoism.
"Of course I'm a general." The general repeated, his face solemn to the extreme.
From the attitude of the Hateful Eight towards her just now, I can judge that the general must have a huge secret hidden in him.
"It's already clear, so why continue to lie to me? Does it still make sense? I smiled wryly.
Standing opposite me at this moment is a person like "Jade Fox Zen", or rather, I should boldly judge that she is Jade Fox Zen himself.
The highest level of transfiguration is to "pretend" yourself.
The general stopped talking, and looked at me for a long time before walking back to the rest area and slowly sitting down.
"I don't know the truth, but I know that you must have something unspeakable. If the truth can't be revealed, then let's stop here, at least I know that the old man is still in the world, and the world will be separated forever. I whispered.
Since the other party is not a general, then she must be Jade Fox Zen, the person who makes me feel sorry and can't forget.
Of course, knowing that she is still alive, I don't need to apologize.
Letting the real Jade Fox Zen go back to Japan is like putting a fish back into the sea, and everyone doesn't have to apologize. This is the best ending of "Royal Princess Jade Fox Zen", and it is also what I am looking forward to.
"She's aliveβ" My mind filled with these four words, and at the same time, the sky was full of joy and joy.
"Mr. Long, I'm ...... There are indeed many hidden secrets in this, which involve many state secrets, and no one has the right to leak them. So, I'm sorry I can't explain it to you one by one. However, I am so grateful for the thought of you, it is the best gift I have ever received in this life. The general said.
Or, now I can't call the woman in front of me a general, because she is Jade Fox Zen at all, from the appearance to the heart, from the false identity to the real identity, all of them are Jade Fox Zen herself.
"I understand, it's okay." I nodded.
Such a huge plan to hide from the sky and cross the sea can only be controlled by the white road level. Once the word "state secret" is involved, then there are two interpretations of truth and illusion in everything, and only God knows how true it is.
"I'm leaving, it's time to get down to business." I say.
"Noβ" She suddenly stood up, walked around the table, threw herself into my arms, wrapped her arms behind her back, wrapped her arms around my waist, and whispered in an almost dreamlike voice, "I can't go, I can't let you die." There are many ways to reverse the decline, but you choose the stupidest one. Listen to me, forget about the Mogao Grottoes, forget the 'Gu Refiner's Spear', forget the scene of killing Zuo Fengshou, follow me to the east, and start again. β
I turned slightly, trying to get rid of her, but she hugged her tighter.
"I have to do it, it's a matter of faith." I say.
There is a huge vacuum between "being good alone" and "helping the world". "Smart people" choose to sell their fame and reputation, pay the minimum price, and achieve the greatest effect of publicizing themselves, which is for the "literary thief".
A false name is useless to me, otherwise I would not have lost the name of "Causeway Bay Dragon".
The Yellow Flower Society's "head-changing operation" sounds very simple at first, but it is nothing more than a disguise to penetrate the enemy's interior. The strongest fortresses are often breached from within, and this strategy should be the result of careful consideration by the leadership of the Yellow Flower Society.
This is a new guiding ideology for dealing with island countries, and it has never been used by other forces in the past century.
The spirit of bushido, the spirit of the chrysanthemum and the sword greatly enhanced the cohesion of the Yamato nation, making it one of the most united nations in the world. In the army, it is monolithic and invincible; In the people, they are united and patriotic, and become one of the examples that the people of other countries envy and emulate.
After World War II, under the heavy pressure of politics and economy, the island countries worked hard and worked hard, but instead of being crushed by the shame monument of the "defeated country", they created top brands of electronic products and heavy industrial products, which were marketed all over the world and were widely popular, becoming a model of the fastest rise of the Axis powers after World War II.
"Breaking from within" is probably the only way to defeat the Yamato nation, but whether it can work depends on how long Huanghua will be able to hold out.
These were my previous thoughts, and it was not until the souls of the Eight Evils knelt down to the Great General that I realized that the "head-changing operation" had entered a higher level of logical relationship and could no longer be explained by ordinary strategic theories.
Now, the appearance of the great general is "Jade Fox Zen", while the Eight Evil Men worship the real Jade Fox Zen. Therefore, it was concluded that the "Jade Fox Zen" is the Jade Fox Zen, and the plan of the Yellow Flower Society has been spied on by the Xinyue Wuxiang faction, and the plan will be planned, and the real Jade Fox Zen will be sent to replace the dummy with a real person.
Then, all the actions after Jade Fox Zen returned to Kyoto were all the working methods of double agents, not only accepting the instructions of the Yellow Flower Society, but also handing over the true information to the Xinyue Wuxiang faction without landing at all.
During World War II, there were countless double and triple agents who stepped on the two ships of the Allies and the Axis powers, and used the capital of each country as a circle of activities, advancing and retreating freely, and taking what they wanted. Several of them also created miracles in the history of espionage and became legends in World War II, such as Yoshiko Kawashima, Herzog and so on.
During the post-World War II Cold War period, seclusion became the norm, multi-faceted spies lost their usefulness, and the industry gradually declined and was no longer valued by the military department.
If Jade Fox Chan's plan of action succeeds, then she will go down in history as one of the greatest spies of the twenty-first century.
Of course, her success is a sign of the failure of the Yellow Flower Society.
"You are alive and you are the best news you have ever heard." I pushed her away.
"I live, and I want you to live well, stay away from danger, and be safe." She said.
"The lives of the people of Dunhuang are more precious than my lives, and I can imagine how chaotic Dunhuang will be once the 'Gu Refiner's Spear is pierced. Therefore, I can only plug the bullet hole and use my life to make a last stand. I said.
In historical classics, there are too many records of "Gu art". At the end of almost every account, it is mentioned that the Gu technique has caused the people of several states and counties to disappear and cry for thousands of miles, and for decades, the land is still uncultivable and the trees are still unable to survive.
"For my sake, stay, okay?" She said.
I don't know what to call her, it's not appropriate to call her "General" or "Jade Fox Zen". However, no matter which one she is, it can't stop me from driving back to the Mogao Grottoes.
"Goodbye." I boarded the plane again.
The engine was still roaring, like the drums of war urging me into battle.
"You wait, you wait." She screamed, ran over and jumped into the seat behind me.
"You don't have to risk it with me." I let out a long sigh.
"I'll accompany you to destroy the 'Gu Refiner's Spear', and you will accompany me back to Kyoto." She said.
This is a good equivalent exchange, but I still have Gu Qingcheng in my heart, and I can't make up my mind to cross east.
"I'll talk about it when I come back alive." I screamed, pressed the button, and the transparent shield above the seat fell, covering me and her.
"We'll definitely come back safely, we'll definitely ......," her voice drowned out the roar of the engine.
The wish is wonderful, but how it will end, only God knows.
The glider slowly moved forward, accelerated along the ground markings, and rushed out of the hole.
The entrance to the cave is set in a circular valley, and the bottom is full of cliffs, and it has been artificially treated, so that when the average climber reaches more than ten meters below the entrance of the cave, he will face a steep cliff, and there is absolutely no possibility of climbing up except for the ribbed wings.
I flew the glider in mid-air and flew towards the Mogao Grottoes.
The LCD screen in the cabin showed that it was now half past ten in the morning, and it was about to be the last time for Zuo Fengshou to block the Mogao Grottoes with a strategy.
"Call the environmental protection department, the police department." I gave orders to the general in the headset system.
Now, let's call her "General", at least when she is called so, she can save a little face for Huanghuahui.
"Okay." The general agreed.
We have a close relationship between us, and she won't be wrong without me stating what the police are calling.
She made two phone calls, and the content of the calls was exactly the same: "I'm a tourist from the United States, and I work for the Interstate Environmental Protection Agency's Pest Control Division. Now, I see a huge swarm of unnamed insects appearing over the Mogao Grottoes parking lot. According to my work experience, these insects are super aggressive, and it is likely that the third-generation 'rodent' variant from Texas, USA, belongs to China's dangerous alien species, please immediately order, arrange pest capture work, and at the same time carry out an emergency blockade of the five kilometers of ground, air and water sources around the Mogao Grottoes to ensure that these species spread out with the wind. β
The operator on the other end of the phone did not panic, and methodically asked the general's name, phone number, and identity information, with a businesslike attitude.
The general refused to answer any questions, and after stating his words, he reminded the other party: "This is a top-secret warning, if you still want to keep your job, report it to the Supreme Commander immediately." I have recorded the phone calls and continue to follow up on the pest control efforts. If you are derelict in your duties, wait for the roll to go home. β
After making the call, the general told me loudly: "According to the usual practice, within five minutes to twenty minutes, the disposal truck will depart from the center of Dunhuang City, and within 20 to 40 minutes, the disposal truck will arrive at Mogao Grottoes Square. Of course, if the relevant departments do not coordinate properly, it will take about 20 minutes to add the time spent by the police to set up a checkpoint between Dunhuang and Mogao Grottoes. All things considered, we have half an hour to fifty minutes to act. β
I nodded: "According to the least optimistic scenario, the operation will be over in half an hour." β
Air operations are very different from ground operations, especially gliders, which are non-powered aircraft with very strict requirements for air currents, and perform complex tasks, not to mention, most of the time have to fight for luck.
Soon, the glider arrived at the parking lot in front of the Mogao Grottoes.
The situation was even worse than I expected, the tail of the "Gu Refiner's Spear" exploded, turning into a huge insect mass with a diameter of at least fifteen meters, and the explosion-proof trawl could not be operated at all.
According to a rough estimate, if you attack head-on, you can only bring two-thirds of the Gu worms into the net. The rest will immediately scatter and become an eternal hidden danger in the Mogao Grottoes.
"No, we're too late to do it." The general shouted.
Below, Zuo Fengshou's men were also dispersing, and a small part remained in place, standing behind the railing, waiting for Zuo Fengshou to return. A large part of the group was half on foot, half by car, fleeing in the direction of Crescent Spring Town.
