Chapter 203: Gu Evolution (3)
The scrolls were lost during the war years, and there is no detailed record of their whereabouts, nor the specific names of the robbers who swept the Mogao Grottoes at that time. From Dunhuang to Dongying, thousands of miles away, the road is chaotic, and you have to cross the ocean, who knows how many scriptures will eventually reach Japan, and how many will be buried in shipwrecks at sea?
"That's probably a huge undertaking, and you have to be mentally prepared." I say.
The general raised his glass and smiled: "Mr. Long, of all the big things in this world, which one is easy to do?" Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, biasing towards the tiger mountains, advancing in the face of difficulties, and facing difficulties is the true color of the people in the rivers and lakes. ”
What she said was completely in line with the true character of the general of the Yellow Flower Society, but her appearance was really that of Jade Fox Zen, a ninja of the Heartless Moon Sect.
I can't tell the difference exactly, maybe these two equally outstanding girls have become one, and they have become a newcomer with double intelligence and double combat power.
"What are you looking at?" There was a hint of shyness in the general's eyes.
The general is a beauty, and Jade Fox Zen is also a beauty. The two became one, and their respective beauty was completely preserved and not covered by the slightest damage. In other words, the beauties who were originally 100 points each each added together became a super beauty with 200 points.
"I'm wondering, are you a general or a jade fox Zen?" I couldn't help but sigh, "The pinnacle of disguise is dazzling, and it is really unbelievable." ”
Through the wine, the general squinted at me, his cheeks flushed, smiled lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Then do you want me to be the general or the Jade Fox Zen?" Do you prefer more generals or more Jade Fox Zen? ”
The bonfire is surrounded by five pieces of stone, and as the fire is about to burn, the flames are fading and the light in the cave is dimming.
At this time, the heavens and the earth are unconscious, and two people can do anything, as long as they don't say it, no one will know in the future.
"I'll go pick up some dead branches." I stood up and strode out of the cave.
After the catastrophe, people's mood will inevitably fluctuate and they will not be calm enough. Doing anything impulsive at this time will only bring endless remorse.
Whether the other party is a general or a Jade Fox Zen, they are just my comrades-in-arms, and they can't be other relationships.
I bent down to pick up the branches, and at the same time opened the placket of my clothes, feeling the cold night of the Gobi.
The base is like an independent world far away from modern Dunhuang, and the battle between the "Gu Alchemist's Spear" and the Hateful Eight is more like a mythical story.
I remember the Kyoto address of the "Super Leader" that the Hateful Eight said, but I didn't tell the Shogun.
Everyone has their own tasks to complete, and each additional one adds a danger. I don't want to ask others to take risks and pay for me, because the hardest thing in the world to pay is a human debt.
On Hong Kong Island, I already owe Lei Dongtian a debt of affection, and I don't know when I will be able to pay it off. As for the generals, we still maintain a comrade-in-arms relationship of fighting separately and going our own way, and we do not owe each other anything - whether it is feelings or responsibilities.
I picked up a large bundle of branches and walked slowly back to the cave.
"Coming back?" The general greeted me.
The fire was extinguished, and only the ashes were slightly reddened.
The light in the cave was so dim that far away I could only see the vague silhouette of the general.
"Yes." I replied in a low voice.
"I was going to sleep first, but after thinking about it, I have to wait for you to come back and sleep together. I'll leave Dunhuang tomorrow, and this will be the last night we'll be able to stay together. The general said lightly.
I walked towards the fire with a branch in my arms, and felt that her words were very harsh.
"You killed Zuo Fengshou and seized the top secret of the base, who will these end up handing over? Is it the Yellow Flower Society, the Japanese Ninjas, or the U.S. government? Anyway, I know that it is a huge amount of wealth, and for the sake of the second half of our lives, it is better to deal with it properly and return it with a large sum of money. I think that either side is desperate to get hold of this secret, and no matter how much money is paid, they are willing. Especially the U.S. government, it's a big deal to start the money printing press and print more dollars. The general said again.
I knew that under normal circumstances, she shouldn't have said that.
"Hmm." I responded, throwing the branch on the ground without adding wood to the ashes.
The total depth of the cave is about twenty paces, and the fire is ten steps from the entrance of the cave, in the center of the cave.
The place where the general sat fifteen steps from the entrance of the cave, and five steps back was the end of the cave.
The cave is fairly flat, and there are no protrusions on the ground that can be used as rock mass. The only thing that could hide people was a narrow bend at the end of the cave.
I checked it when I first entered the cave. The bend was two steps long and one and a half meters high, barely enough for an adult to bend his knees and hide.
Now in this situation, if someone hides there and threatens the general with a gun, it will be difficult for me to deal with it.
"What do you do when you speak? Also, what Zuo Fengshou left in Luopan Village - what to do with the wealth accumulated for ten years? The general asked continuously.
I sat down on the spot and stroked the already hot stone.
The size of the flake stone is one foot square, and the weight is about fifteen catties.
Happily, one of the pieces of stone is oval-shaped, with almost no edges and corners, similar to the boomerang I practiced on Hong Kong Island.
I stared silently at the ashes, sketching in my mind the shape of the corner and the curvature of the rock wall. At the same time, I had to guess which faction the general was holding hostage, so as to estimate the height of the enemy, so as to kill him with one blow and not give the other party a chance to stubbornly resist firing after being wounded.
"Huanghuahui misused Zuo Fengshou, and in the past ten years, at least 500 million funds have been transferred from abroad to Luopan Village. I look at the current situation in Luopan Village, and this money should be spent very little. The general continued.
"U.S. dollars or renminbi?" I asked.
"Dollars." The general replied.
According to the current exchange rate, 500 million US dollars is equivalent to 3.5 billion yuan, and even if Zuo Fengshou uses half of it as the expenses of Luopan Village, only half is left, there will be more than one billion yuan. Anyone who gets this wealth will definitely squander it in a few lifetimes.
If the hijacker came for money, what I said to the general was right in the middle.
"Do you still have wine in your backpack?" I asked.
When we left the car and went into the hole, the general was carrying a gray travel bag, which was placed next to her right leg.
"Yes." The general replied.
I understand that the hijackers, having examined the travel bag after entering the cave, knew exactly what was inside. If I had asked the general to bend down and take the wine, the hijackers would certainly not have doubted it.
"Take out the wine, and when you're done, it's time to go to sleep." I say.
"You, you...... You have to come up with an idea tonight, so many things are disturbing, how can you sleep without coming up with a solution? The general dragged his travel bag angrily, put it between his feet, and rummaged through it with his head down.
"Zuo Fengshou is dead, and his people have been cleaned up. Now, the yellow flower will fall apart, and no one can threaten us. Don't rush, don't panic, we can hide slowly, wait for the wind to pass, and then look up. I said.
I speak slowly, quietly prolonging my voice, incorporating keywords such as "hide, wait, look up".
When the general first bowed his head, I couldn't move my hand, because at that time the hostage was on high alert, and the muzzle of the gun was not pointed at me, but at the general.
If we are not careful, the general and I will be injured on the spot, causing even more trouble.
After all this, I don't want to have anything to do with any of the public hospitals in Dunhuang City.
I silently counted down in my mind, starting at ten seconds and counting down to one.
"Where is the wine? It's clearly there—okay, found it. The general lowered his head and kept talking to himself.
Bottles are not hard to find, and I believe that the two of us performed very naturally.
If the captor had been pointing a gun at the general, he would have been relieved to hear that she had "found wine" at this moment, and his vigilance would have decreased slightly.
I grasped a piece of stone in each hand, and in my left hand I grasped a lighter stone, only half a foot square, weighing less than five pounds. In his right hand, he grasped the oval sheet stone.
"Just find it, wait a minute, there's a sound outside—" I said, flicking my left wrist and flicking the small stone out of the hole. Almost at the same moment, with a twist of my right arm, I threw the oval stone toward the corner of the cave floor.
I, the general, and the corner at the bottom of the cave were almost in the same straight line, and the stone swept over the general's head and hit the corner directly.
The principle of the boomerang is very simple: when firing, the right hand must spin the object it grasps and inject the force of rotation into it. Then, during the flight, the object always rotates counterclockwise or clockwise at high speed, and after hitting the wall, it immediately produces refraction, and the force does not decrease, and shoots in another direction.
The corner is to the left, so when I threw the oval sheet, I used a clockwise rotation.
There were two snaps, the first was extremely loud, it was the sound of a stone hitting the stone wall, and the second was dull, it was the sound of a stone whirling and hitting the captor.
As I threw the stone, I leaped forward in succession.
By the time the stone struck its target, I had already reached the corner, locked my throat with my right hand, dragged the captor out, and then snatched the spear from his right hand, and twisted it in the palm of my hand against his throat.
In the darkness, the captors were silent, and the sound of gurgling blood was heard overhead.
The general also quickly retreated to my side.
"Alone?" I asked.
"Yes, one person, the one who left the harvest." The general replied.
I handed over the captors to the general, went out with a gun, and patrolled the cave for ten minutes, and only after making sure that he had no accomplices did I quickly return to the cave.
"Let's go, change places." I say.
We got into the car with the captors, and the general drove to the north, according to the guidance of the navigator, until we reached the northeast of the Mogao Grottoes.
"There's a secret point of contact here." The general explained.
The car drove into a brightly lit town, and the name of the town was "Drinking Horses" by looking at the stone monument at the entrance of the town.
I have seen the name of "Drinking Horse Town" in the local chronicles of Dunhuang, which should be related to a war, and the origin of its name is that the generalissimo who commanded the war dug a well and drank horses in this place, and finally won a victory, so he gave this place the name "Drinking Horse Town".
The car turned around and arrived at the door of a small hotel at the end of town.
Instead of getting out of the car, the general pointed his headlights at the communication room at the entrance of the parking lot and turned it on and off five times in a row.
Someone ran out of the communication room, opened the iron fence gate, and let our car in.
The general kept driving forward, and the car entered a garage where the car was repaired, and the roller shutter door behind it fell automatically.
On the way, I have bandaged the wounds of my captors. The stone struck him on the left side of his forehead, knocking out a three-inch-long hole that nearly shaved off his Celestial Spirit Cover.
So, he was in a semi-comatose state all the time, and no matter what he asked, he got no response.
"When I get here, I have a way to get him to speak." The general said.
