Chapter 224: The Tomb of the Gods (3)
If I see through it but don't say it, it is equivalent to joining forces with the general and hiding from Zhao Tan together.
Of course, I was also puzzled as to why the Shogun knew so well about the excavation of the tomb of Oda Onito.
As Zhao Tan was worried about - "What kind of metaphysical art is this?" ”
"You've been very careful, but maybe you'll never guess the truth." The general's eyebrows were bent, and he smiled smartly.
Indeed, today's conversation with Zhao Tan has exhausted my brainpower, and I have no time to think about the question of the general now. After all, we are comrades-in-arms, and Zhao Tan is the enemy.
"Eating instant noodles is not nutritious, is your life in Dunhuang a little too monotonous?" The general asked.
"No?" I replied calmly, "I go to Mogao Grottoes every day to paint, and when I go home, I watch the latest movies and American dramas, and sometimes I read books." This kind of day is actually the most comfortable for the people of the rivers and lakes. ”
In fact, this kind of day is beautiful and peaceful for me, but not necessarily for others, such as Meng Qiao.
"What's the point of leisure if you lose your job? In the same way, having lost the bloody battles on the rivers and lakes, what is so rare about this kind of exile and quiet joy? The general asked.
In the same way, Lei Dongtian also asked me, but his original words were: "Is it still meaningful for the dragon to leave the river and the sea, and the tiger to leave the mountain?" Is there a difference between a dragon and a snake, a tiger and a cat? ”
"I'm just me, the days of fighting and killing on Hong Kong Island, and the days of Dunhuang being free and loose are all suitable for me. In fact, whether it is suitable or not lies in a person's heart, not what others think and say. I replied.
The general bit his lip and pondered for a while, and then stopped: "You...... Maybe one day, you will get tired of such days. When the time comes, tell me, wherever I am. ”
This sentence exposed her true inner emotions and deeply moved me. However, there should be a very wide gap between us that cannot be crossed.
Looking out from the crack in the kitchen door, Zhao Tan was sitting in the living room, looking down at his phone.
"Unfortunately, there is no clear thread that connects all the unknowns. Historically, Oda Onioshi must have done something very important and had a huge impact on the national fortunes of the island country, no less than Anameasu's care for the island country, so-" The general handed over his mobile phone.
I took my phone, and there was a picture on the screen.
The photograph is supposed to have been taken from a formal Japanese festival, and there are two tall and majestic standing statues on the front, one of which is the god Amaterasu that the Shogun just mentioned.
In the island country, Amaterasu is the only god who opens the heavens and the earth, so his statues can be seen everywhere.
The standing statue next to Amaterasu is very unfamiliar, wearing a sunshade hat, knee-length monk's robes, and a huge bag behind him. If you look closely, your bags are stuffed full, the corners are square, and it should be a big bag of books.
"It is a statue of Oda Oninu, and the festival is held in Kyoto every year in April, close to the Qingming Festival in China, and occasionally coincides. There, the temple and the common people regarded Oda Onino as the same level as Amaterasu, so they placed two standing statues together. The general explained.
Since the people have such a move, it means that their respect for Oda ghost slaves has risen to the level of prostration, which is completely beyond the respectful attitude towards a "person".
"There's a mention of Oda ghost slaves in the local annals, right?" I asked.
"Yes, there is a little, but it is very sloppy, it is only said that he is 'the soul of the spirit of the country', and there are a few words that say that 'the contribution to the country is more than the baptism of the spirit of bushido'. I think that through 'seeking scriptures', he brought materials for soul education to the island nation, which the local culture could not breed on its own, and had to go through the 'import', and the Oda ghost slave led this 'import' process. The general replied.
"We still don't know much about Oda ghost slaves." I can't help but sigh.
"What about dark web materials? Have you tried? The general asked.
While she was sleeping, I had already looked it up on the dark web.
The foundation of online data also comes from physical data. If someone has very little information in practice, only a few hundred or a few thousand words, then even on the dark web, it is impossible to provide more. If there is more, it is cut and pasted by hackers with ulterior motives using puzzle technology.
Regarding the Oda ghost slave, it is the case I mentioned above, and there is very little real information about this person, and my search results on the dark web are almost zero.
"There is a place where there must be more information about this person." The general said.
"The Oda clan." I guessed that place too.
Just like Zhao Tan has a family genealogy, all the gates of the island country have a very formal genealogy, and some families in the shogunate era even recorded the genealogy in the way of "leshi", and engraved the name and deeds of the entire family on the entire mountain. It can be seen that the magnates of the island country attach great importance to the glory of the family.
If Oda Oninu had made such an important contribution to the country, then the Oda clan would not have let such a great ancestor be buried in obscurity in the "Tomb of the Gods".
The general pointed to the crack in the door and lowered his voice: "He is from the Oda clan." ”
Indeed, Zhao Tan has a special identity, and he must be able to read the most advanced secrets of the Oda family, and the records of the Oda ghost slaves must also be among them.
If we want to tame Zhao Tan, all we can think of is hypnotism and lie detectors. It's a pity that it's like taking a bucket of gasoline to fight a fire, it will only set yourself on fire.
With Zhao Tan's attainments in the Oda clan's soul dementorship, any hypnotism was ineffective for him.
"Cooperation." The general said.
"Swap." I say.
We say different things, but the methods are the same, we all adopt the method of equivalent exchange and mutual benefit, and carry out strategic cooperation with Zhao Tan.
"Hey, don't talk to each other in the kitchen, when the takeaway arrives, I'm almost starving......" Zhao Tan called outside.
The general opened the kitchen door, and we went out together with three boxes of instant noodles.
"I guessed what you just said." Zhao Tan said.
He laid his phone flat on the table and shoved it towards me.
What is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone is the end of the first chapter of "Water Margin", that is, the section where Taiwei Hong excavates the Demon Suppression Tablet.
"Captain Hong dug up the stele, and the Oda clan also found the stele. Captain Hong let go of one hundred and eight calamity stars, you must want to know, what did the Oda clan let go? Zhao Tan asked.
"Yes." I nodded frankly.
Master duel, and then it is not interesting to play clever ambushes.
"There are words on the stele, but there is no need to find another strong man to come in and turn the stele over, I only used the claw hammer I carried with me to smash the table top, and I saw the words on the reverse side of the stele from below." Zhao Tan said.
I couldn't help but nodded: "Okay, good way, a good way as classic as Sima Guang's smashing cylinder." ”
In that case, only a truly wise person can distinguish between priorities and priorities, and dare not break or stand, and solve the problem that plagues everyone with a raise of his hand.
Just like Sima Guang back then, he saw the crux of the problem at a glance, and with a wave of his hand, he broke the boundary between life and death, saving his little friend from drowning.
"What's the reverse word?" I asked.
Zhao Tan smiled and was not in a hurry to speak.
"Eat first, takeout is coming." The general said.
"yes, eat first, eat first. People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry. Hehehehe......" Zhao Tan laughed.
I laughed along: "yes, eat first, we have time to discuss." ”
Just then, the doorbell rang.
I walked to the gate, and there was a young man on a battery bike and wearing an e-commerce company jacket standing outside, taking a bag from the incubator.
"Hello sir, the takeaway is delivered five minutes early, please give me a good review when it's convenient for you." Said the young man.
I hurried over to help, reached into the cooler with both hands, and pulled out the pizza carton with the convenience bag.
"It's okay to have a good review, it's hard work." I said it out loud.
The takeaway was ordered by the general, and when I spoke loudly, she could hear it in the house, and gave a good review to the ordering restaurant and the takeaway staff to thank the other party for their hard work.
When the young man rode away, I turned around and entered the door with my bag in my hand.
The takeaway tasted good, especially the pizza, which was full of ingredients, slightly burnt, and perfectly cooked.
"I've never had such a good pizza, and I'm going to die." The general said.
"I ...... too" I stood up, said two words, dizzy, and quickly sat down, but I couldn't support it anymore, so I had to lie on the table.
"What's wrong?" The general asked in surprise.
She stretched out her hand, intending to pat me on the back, but she softened, leaned on my chair, and slowly sat down.
"Yes...... Poisonous, poisonous, poisonous in takeaway......" The general could no longer utter a complete sentence.
Now, only Zhao Tan was sitting in a precarious position, and the expression on his face was calm and calm.
"You were poisoned? What a ...... Fast...... Unexpectedly, unexpectedly...... I didn't even notice it......" I raised my hand with difficulty and pointed at Zhao Tan.
"It's not poison, it's *." Zhao Tan replied.
"Why ......*?" I tried to keep my eyes open, for fear that once I closed them, I would never be able to open them again.
"It's not me, it's not me-" Zhao Tan shook his head with a sneer, and suddenly leaned forward, lying on the table, unconscious.
The only things we have eaten are takeout and instant noodles, both of which I handle, and if something goes wrong, the responsibility should be on me.
"Mr. Long, you go quickly...... You go quickly......" the general called in a low voice, "bring a gun, go quickly, if it is Cha Ye who poisoned him, he ...... It's coming soon...... Let's go......"
At this time, she only remembered me, and I was very moved.
"I'm fine." I slowly stood up against the edge of the table.
The general was stunned, not knowing what was really going on.
"I did something in the takeaway, just to deal with Zhao Tan. Moreover, in order to confuse him, I pretended to be true, and ate the pizza that was sprinkled*. However, I was careful and ate very small amounts. I explained slowly.
My plan is to first use * to bring down Zhao Tan so that his mental defense ability can be minimized, and there will be a psychological gap that can be overcome, and then I can get the secret of the Oda clan out of his mouth.
Without * help, Zhao Tan's psychological ability is too strong, and it is difficult for me to match the general, I don't know how long I will stalemate?
In order to calculate Zhao Tan, I didn't inform the general in advance, lest our cheating kung fu can't deceive Zhao Tan, and we can't draw a tiger, but it's like a dog.
"Okay, then I'll ...... Rest assured...... "The general no longer struggled and fell to the ground.
"I need a polygraph." I say.
The general raised his hand with difficulty and pushed his mobile phone over: "There is a number marked 'Speak well' in the address book inside, call me from my phone, and say that I want a full set of polygraphs, and then report ...... Address, it can be delivered in a maximum of an hour......"
I took my phone, found the number, and dialed it gently.
