Chapter 185: Close Combat (3)
"What's going on at the baseโwhat's going on?" Zuo Fengshou suddenly changed the topic, his right hand stopped in mid-air, although he held the general's hand, he had no intention of pulling the other party up.
"It went well, it went very well." The general replied.
"The souls of the 'Hateful Eight', the living dead lying in crystal coffins, the supercomputer matrix, the brain of Hiko Kusanagi...... Have all the troubles been solved? So what are the results obtained? Zuo Fengshou asked again.
The base is indeed quite a complicated place, because the Japanese invaders left too many unsolved puzzles in World War II waiting to be unearthed by future generations.
If it weren't for the fierce black wind and sand, if it weren't for the series of paradoxical incidents that happened in Luopan Village, I should have returned to the base a long time ago to do further investigation.
There are too many topics that can be studied about the "Hateful Eight", and they must not be destroyed all at once, so that these secrets will be lost forever in the dust of history.
"The base is destroyed, it's as simple as that. The Yellow Flower Society has limited energy, so it can only rush forward bravely and pursue victory. It is said that the secrets of the Japanese bases are in the past tense, and we must not be distracted at this moment, and we must concentrate all our energy on the 'head change operation'. You know, there is sandstone terrain nearby, and half of the Japanese army's reservation is stun bombs, and after detonation, the internal texture of the sandstone is destroyed, and there are countless series of collapses, so - the base is gone, and the history of the base should turn the page. The general replied.
"That's a shame." Zuo Fengshou said.
When their right hands were clasped together, the situation inside the house seemed to have changed unusually.
On the ground, the five people whose throats were cut all held guns in their hands, and the safety bolts of their guns were all open.
I have realized that the relationship between Zuo Fengshou and the great general is not so simple.
"Then, I have another question, before the Snow Bodhisattva gave you a disguise, he must have explained some necessary information, which is related to the secret of the Japanese imperial family. Otherwise, how do you succeed in impersonating another person? Have you memorized all the information? Zuo Fengshou asked unhurriedly.
"That's nature." The general replied quietly.
"There is an ancient temple in Kyoto that hides the treasures of Jianzhen's journey to the east, and the most important step in the 'head-changing operation' is to obtain it. I wondered, if I didn't know the secret of the 'Hateful Eight', how could I get that treasure? "The topic of Zuo Fengshou is getting deeper and deeper.
Those who have studied the history of the Japanese ninja family will understand that the highest level of ninjutsu is not assassination, sneak attack, battle formation, and ambush, but the "art of keeping", which is called the "Shikoku Shutsu" in Japan, along with the highest level of sumo "Tsunamu no Jutsu", the highest level of Go "Tsunabu no Jutsu", and the highest level of kendo "Shikoku Shu".
The "Eight Evils" are the representatives of the "Art of Guarding", and what they have is the most brilliant "Keeping Technique" known as "The Escape of Birds and Beasts", and what they keep is the great secret of Jianzhen Dongdu.
Modern and contemporary historians cannot understand the significance of Jianzhen's eastward crossing, because according to historical records, Jianzhen crossed eastward six times, the first five times were extremely embarrassed, and he was almost buried in the belly of the sea fish, and the last time was a fluke. His "eastward journey to Japan" is fundamentally different from Master Xuanzang's "Journey to Tianzhu", the latter was hand-picked by the emperor to go in order to obtain the true scriptures of Buddhism in Tianzhu Kingdom, and has the important task of "learning scriptures to save the country", while Jianzhen is completely a personal act, and its public purpose is unconvincing.
According to historical records, Jianzhen went to spread the Dharma to the people outside the country, and it was completely "giving", without asking for anything.
In the "History of the Song Dynasty", there are monks from Hangzhou and Quanzhou who collected the history of Jianzhen in detail, and there was an astonishing discovery - when Jianzhen crossed to the east, his luggage actually contained a scroll suspected to be the authentic "Hetuluo Book". There is also a jade seal that is suspected to be handed down by Qin Shi Huang.
As soon as Zuo Fengshou mentioned this, I immediately thought of the "Hetuluo Book" and the jade seal.
"Those are all follow-up steps, if the first few steps don't work, you don't have to think about the future." The general said.
"However, if you don't plan early, the efficiency of the 'head swap' will be too low." Zuo Fengshou shook his head.
The general frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?" โ
Zuo Fengshou laughed: "I mean, you don't have to perform the 'head swap operation' at all, because the 'Eight Hateful Ones' is the key. The Japanese imprisoned the souls of the 'Eight Evils' here in order to keep the eight keys away from the lock. The 'Hateful Eight' is over, and the secrets of Kyoto will be lost forever. โ
The general's face did not change: "That's your opinion, if you had brought it up a few years ago, maybe the fate of the Yellow Flower Society would have been completely changed." But now, the Yellow Flower Society has been uprooted, and it is too late to say anything. โ
Zuo Fengshou shook his head: "It's not too late, it's not too late at all." If I solve the matter of the Mogao Grottoes, I will also solve the matter of the Eight Evildoers, and finally solve every difficult and miscellaneous matter in the world. Only those who can bear all the difficulties in the world are qualified to have all things in the world. โ
I am not interested in his lofty ambitions, but in the secrets left behind by Jianzhen Dongdu.
This eastward crossing directly raised the cultural level of the Japanese island nation and was the most important civilization support in Japanese history.
What was even more unexpected by the Japanese was that all the disciples brought by Jianzhen at that time became the mainstay of Japan's construction, and laid a solid foundation for the Japanese island nation in terms of culture, politics, Zen studies, agriculture, fishing, and animal husbandry.
It is precisely because of this contribution that Japan has made great progress, rapidly evolving from a semi-feudal and semi-slave country to a capitalist country, and then began the Meiji Restoration, and finally expanded itself to a certain extent, brazenly invading Korea, launching the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War and the Qiqi Lugou Bridge Incident.
In this sense, Jianzhen crosses the east, and the disadvantages outweigh the benefits.
"The base can't be destroyed?" The general asked.
Zuo Fengshou nodded deeply: "Of course, of course, of course." โ
"However, it is already flooded." The general was slightly depressed.
"Buildings can be destroyed, but souls are immortal." Zuo Fengshou said, "We have booked a room in Crescent Spring Town, and we have also invited metaphysical masters from all over the world to prepare to justify the soul gathering of the 'Eight Evils'. โ
With Zuo Fengshou's ability, he can indeed gather souls for the "Eight Evils", and out of interest considerations, he does have the motivation to do so.
I suddenly woke up to the fact that once the revival of the soul of the "Eight Evils" was involved, it would be tantamount to the resurrection of the ghost of Japanese militarism, and it would be a bad omen for the rise of fascism. Whether internationally or domestically, this is a forbidden land that must not be crossed.
Fascism and militarism have brought tremendous harm to the good people of all countries in the world, and both superpowers and small countries are apprehensive about this, and it is absolutely impossible to allow the remnants of militarism to resurge.
"Okay, okay." The general nodded.
"So, we can come to an agreement?" Zuo Fengshou asked.
"Haven't we always been in lockstep?" The general asked rhetorically.
Zuo Fengshou laughed and turned his head to me: "Mr. Long, you see, life is like this, once you know yourself, you can know yourself for life......"
I could have stayed out of the matter, but Zuo Feng's ambition has seriously endangered the interests of the country, and as long as there are Chinese with a conscience, they will definitely sacrifice their lives and die to stop it.
"Da-da, da-da, da-da." Suddenly the gunshots rang out, and the dead man's armpit opened fire three times, first two and then three, then three more bullets, and a total of eight bullets penetrated Zuo Feng's body in front and back.
Within two steps of the distance, Zuo Fengshou couldn't dodge the * continuous fire at all, and he and the general had just reached an agreement that they would make a big fuss about the "Eight Hateful Ones" together. In any case, the general had no reason to shoot.
What's more, the general's right hand was held in the left harvest and right palm, and only the left hand was free.
I'm 100% sure that the general's left hand holds the pistol and he never puts it down. Probably because of being too nervous, the muzzle of the pistol was trembling slightly.
Both of her hands were occupied, and where did she get the third hand to pull the trigger of *?
After being shot, Zuo Fengshou did not fall on his back, but just let go of the general's hand, staggered back three steps, and gently stroked his chest with both hands.
"You can't kill me, only I can kill me." Zuo Fengshou muttered in an extremely conceited and extremely melancholy tone.
There were no wounds on his chest, let alone blood, and the eight bullets fired by the general disappeared without a trace like mud cows into the sea.
The general did not show a look of shock, but only nodded slightly, as if he had expected the result in front of him.
"Look, Mr. Longโ" Zuo Fengshou turned his face to me, "The ancients said that invincibility is the loneliest, but I thought that invincibility is not the highest state of loneliness, only immortality is forever lonely." Once I realized that I had crossed the line between life and death, I felt the most lonely from that moment to now. Today, is there anyone else who can be like me, who will not die from being shot with a knife or being involved in a mirage...... All sharp weapons that can cause harm to people are not effective against me. โ
There was no fear in my heart, only a deep sigh.
Mankind has prayed for eternal life, and generations of medical scientists have worked hard to achieve this goal. However, once you enter eternal life, death becomes a luxury. Just like in a video game, everyone aims for an "immortal touchdown", but once the game's background parameters are changed so that the protagonist enters the "invincible" state, the game becomes boring.
"Congratulations, eye-opening." I bow to the left for the harvest.
"If you want to, you can learn this 'art of immortality'. It's better for two people not to die together than to be lonely alone, right? "Zuo Fengshou reminded me of the old words and invited me to join his camp.
I smiled lightly and silently refused.
"Eternal life" is the pursuit of ancient emperors, and in my life, "tracing the roots" is the primary goal, as for future aging and death, I prefer to go with the flow rather than promote the seedlings.
"Don't fool yourself anymore, you know that you are not immortal at all, but you used the phantom of Qimen Dunjia to avoid bullets. Of course I know I can't kill you, but you should also expect that things can't be set in stone, and after many failures, someone will always develop a more lethal weapon. I believe that this time, you are really in trouble. Therefore, I advise you to write your will in advance before the time of mortality. The general said.
Zuo Fengshou raised his arm, obviously not caring about the general's bluff.
There were only three people on the scene, and the general and I did not have an in-depth study of Qimen Dunjia, so it was impossible for him to pose a mortal threat to Zuo Fengshou.
When Zuo Fengshou "passed through the wall", I couldn't react except to sigh "miraculous and incredible". In the same way, his understatement of absorbing the eight bullets fired by the Great General was also a major blow to my self-confidence.
