The general was a little stunned, as if he had not heard me.

"Mr. Long, do you think the Yellow Flower Festival is over?" She asked.

I shook my head: "First, the Yellow Flower Society is a big gang, it will not fall easily, and it will not all collapse; Second, my relationship with the Yellow Flower Society is limited to knowing you, and I do not have a particularly deep relationship, let alone worry too much about the fate of the Yellow Flower Society. Therefore, the past, present and future of the Yellow Flower Society do not have much influence on me, and I don't seem to need to worry about such issues. ”

I'm telling the truth, especially for gangs like the Yellow Flower Society, which have a Pentagon military background, many people in the rivers and lakes avoid it, let alone take the initiative to get close to it.

"Mr. Long, what I actually want to say is...... Help me. The general suddenly raised his hand, covered his face hard, and sighed deeply, as if he was about to cry, "I went to Japan, the future is delicate, if I stay here, it will be like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it." Now, I'm completely caught in a dilemma and have to make an informed choice to take the next step and make myself ...... Don't keep sliding down the road to the end of the road. So...... Help me, help me figure it out......"

She had always been calm and composed, showing herself as a strong woman, and I was a little surprised that she suddenly became so weak.

"Don't worry, if you have anything to say, just explain it." I say.

The base camp was destroyed, the backer fell, and the general should feel the sadness of the end of the road. After holding on for so long, it's really hard for her.

You must know that even if she went to Japan and barely stood on her feet, without follow-up reinforcements, she could only be in a state of loneliness, and in the end she made no achievements.

"Since I decided to go to Japan, I haven't had a good night's sleep. When the Huanghua Society was heavily valued by the Pentagon, the spy networks in Kyushu, Osaka, Hokkaido, and Kyoto were all smooth, and all kinds of human, material, and financial resources could be used at will, and there were no worries at all. The Japanese gangs have very close contacts with gangs in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Western Europe, North Africa, and other places, and with the support of the Pentagon, I can work in front of the gangs. On the contrary, it is completely in the state of sheep in the mouth of the tiger. The Xinyue Wuxiang faction is an old gang, and in addition to the support of the imperial family, it has long lost ground in Japan. In such a situation, even if I wear the hat of a 'royal princess' when I go there, it may not work......" the general said intermittently.

Although Japan is only a small island country, its situation in the rivers and lakes is very complicated.

According to international observers, there are two parallel national rules in Japan.

Article 1: The government police system, which is in line with international standards, is for the police to punish crimes and maintain urban order; The second is that the "order of the rivers and lakes" is carried out by the underground rivers and lakes, and the life and death of some people are determined by the gang's unique concept of good and evil and values.

In such a chaotic and dark environment, the so-called "head-changing operation" of the Yellow Flower Society seems to have lost its meaning.

"I guess, when you go over there, in addition to the superficial 'head change operation', there must be another layer of hidden missions." I said bluntly.

Now that the general has put down his shelf, removed his disguise, and begged me for help, then I can only tell the truth and express my doubts.

The general was silent for a while before nodding hesitantly.

"You can rest assured, I guarantee with my personal personality that what we say here, whether the cooperation is successful or not, will be said and forgotten, leaving no trace. Even if you say the highest top secret that shocked the world, I will never confide it in a third person. I said.

When I ask someone to do something, I always leave room for them first, so as not to embarrass them.

The identity of the general is different from mine, I am an idler, and she is subordinate to the Yellow Flower Society, and has her own strict organizational discipline.

"Well, Mr. Long, I'm not worried that you'll leak secrets, but the content of these missions is very obscure, and even if you read the literal meaning completely, you may not be able to understand it deeply. I say it for your reference only, and I will never deliberately distort the meaning. The general said.

I nodded, and she picked up the pencil on the table and wrote three lines on a piece of paper.

The first line has a clear and unmistakable meaning: "Order the general to infiltrate Japan in the form of a jade fox Zen, take root and hide, and wait silently." ”

For all spies, "silence" is a very harsh, heart-piercing word, meaning an indefinite period of lurking under disguise, passively waiting for others to wake up. If there is no wake-up order, then even if you live to be 100 years old or even die alone, you can't take the initiative to contact your superiors.

"Silence" is more uncomfortable than "death".

"Death" is equivalent to a prison sentence, while "silence" is equivalent to a life sentence.

Once in the quiet period, the "Great General" disappeared from this world and was replaced by the Japanese imperial princess "Jade Fox Zen".

If you can't wait to wake up, "Jade Fox Zen" will marry, have children, and grow old step by step, completely living as a two-faced person until old age and death.

This kind of life state of inconsistencies between the inside and the outside, yin and yang, can drive people crazy, especially after marrying and having children, then waiting for the awakening order is the most painful state of people's dilemma.

"Why do you still accept this assignment when it is so painful?" I asked.

The general didn't answer, just bowed his head and smiled bitterly.

The second line of words literally understands, but I don't know what it means: "The fragment is not broken, the country is not strong, and the thousand-year-old line is intended to be in the remaining veins." ”

The Dunhuang scriptures are also known as "Dunhuang fragments", because after they were looted many times, the losses were serious, and the only ones left could not be completely pieced together some practical significance, so they could only be regarded as cultural relics and put on the shelf.

In ancient times, whether they copied scriptures or chanted scriptures, they were in order to inherit those profound and precious philosophies in the text. Such scriptures as the "Diamond Sutra", "Heart Sutra" and "Dizang Sutra", the sentences are smooth, the plot is complete, and they can not only educate people, but also recite and praise catchily, which belongs to the most precious spiritual wealth left by ancient people to modern people, and its significance is no less than the four books and five classics, Tang and Song poems.

On the contrary, the Dunhuang fragments seem to be somewhat different from these classics, and can only exist, but cannot be applied.

The destruction of so many precious books is a tragedy that makes people sigh. Because of this, the Taoist priest Wang Yuanqi, who discovered the cave and caused the loss of scriptures, was forever nailed to the pillar of shame in Dunhuang history, and was whipped by morality countless times.

Looking at the literal meaning of the second sentence, it seems that "if you gather the fragments, you can find some kind of hidden clue".

If the word "millennium" is not a general reference, it is in the Song and Song dynasties that it is a thousand years backwards from now.

There are only eight words in the third line: "Seek scriptures for the strength and prosperity of our country." ”

Those who are familiar with the history of Xuanzang's journey to the west know that this is a sentence said by the Tang monk Chen Xuanzang when he said goodbye to the emperor at the West Gate of Chang'an, which fully expressed his determination to travel thousands of miles west to obtain the true scriptures regardless of personal life and death.

In the end, Chen Xuanzang overcame the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, successfully learned the scriptures and returned to the court, and became the first person in the world to be unparalleled in Zen Buddhism.

This sentence seems to be related to the second sentence 'Dunhuang fragment', with the emphasis on 'seeking scriptures'. Does it mean that you should go to Japan to find the Dunhuang fragments? I whispered as I thought.

"This sentence has different meanings in different places." The general said.

I thought about it for a few seconds, and immediately remembered that it turned out that the first person to say this was Chen Xuanzang, a high-ranking monk of the Tang Dynasty, but it was a Japanese who really spread it and practiced it all over the world-Oda Ghost Slave.

There is no need to dwell on the place of the Oda clan in Japanese history, as long as you think about the achievements and exploits of Oda Nobunaga in his life, you can imagine it.

Oda ghost slaves did not appear much in ancient Chinese history, according to my memory of reading the classics, there were only about two times, one was in the "Biography of the Tang Envoys", the original words recorded were "Send the Tang Dynasty to send the Oda ghost slaves to Chang'an East City to procure"; On the other hand, in the "Kyushu Patrol Minutes", the original sentence was "There is a ghost slave of the Oda clan who guides the boatmen through the Langya Island and reef and passes through the hole where water and fire overlap."

"Oda ghost slave" may refer to a person's name, or it may refer to a servant or slave of the Oda clan whose name is "oni".

These two records of Chinese history do not seem to be important, as the name "Oda Onino" appears several times in the ancient history of Kyoto, Japan, and there is a white marble statue towering over the Kyoto Tang Pagoda.

It is recorded in the local history of Kyoto that like Master Xuanzang, Oda Oninu also said when he was a teenager that he would "seek scriptures for the strength and prosperity of our country", and with this goal throughout his life, he served as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty many times, crossing the vast sea by boat, and going west to seek scriptures.

The historical epochs of China and Japan are different, and the chronological records are somewhat confusing.

In particular, the Japanese astronomical calendar was not recorded in an advanced way, and before the introduction of the calendar by the Tang Dynasty, there was not even a complete set of self-created calendars.

"Then, this sentence appears here, and its source refers to Oda Ghost Slave, not Chen Xuanzang." I say.

The general nodded: "Exactly, so that's what puzzles me as well." The Japanese scriptures were all transmitted from the Central Plains, and the scriptures of the Central Plains came from the Tianzhu Kingdom, even those found in the Mogao Caves are only copies of other scriptures, and there can be no original or original texts. Copying and turning, what's the point? I don't know the ultimate meaning of these three commands, that is, I accept an unknowable mission, and in an unknowable environment, my own destiny and future, also unknowable......"

The sum of many "unknowables" is likely to make the general throw himself into the tiger's den, and even more likely to kill himself.

He ...... "The general scolded twice in Chinese and English.

I laughed, "If you vent your anger in the future, you should use Japanese, so that is in line with your Japanese identity." Of course, the Japanese princesses we see from various media are always suave and polite, and it's unlikely that they will scold people in public, right? ”

The general smiled bitterly again and again: "Mr. Long, I'm really speechless, this kind of eventful autumn has pushed me to the battlefield as a target...... It has moved away from the original intention of the establishment of the Yellow Flower Society. ”

I immediately asked, "What is the original intention of the establishment of the Yellow Flower Society?" ”
