Volume 1: Fighting Onmyoji Chapter 8: Fighting Methods
Xiao Yue saw that Old Man Li was so optimistic and open-minded, and she had some admiration in her heart.
What does a person live for? If you have no regrets in your life, you can see everything openly, and be happy every day, such a life may not be very exciting, but it is also very good!
Although the experience of old man Li in this life is more ordinary, he must be quite satisfied with his life.
At this moment, he had already fried the dishes, so he had to pour a glass of wine for Li Jun and Xiao Yue, and said with a haha: "Storytelling is the same as drinking, you have to tell it carefully and taste it carefully." ”
This old man usually has no hobbies, except for drinking two drinks, he just loves to tell stories.
It's strange to say, and I don't know where he heard or seems to have so many stories, and he always tells something new to tell people.
"The story you asked about the seven temples started more than 20 years ago." He picked up the wine glass and took a sip, chirped twice, squinted, looked out of the house, and said slowly: "At that time, the Japanese invasion of China was in full swing, and there was gunsmoke and war everywhere, and the people of the whole country were really miserable!" The construction of these seven temples really has something to do with the Japanese devils. There will be a pair of Japanese troops going to Nanjing, and they need to pass through here, and the Nationalist Army got the information and sent troops to ambush here. On that Qing River, the two armies faced each other, with countless casualties, arms, thighs, heads, stomachs, intestines, etc., flying all over the sky, it was really miserable, I was in my forties at that time. ”
Speaking of this, he paused, put a green vegetable in the pot and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it, but his expression showed a feeling of fear. He continued: "The Japanese army is really strong, even if the national military at that time ambushed first, and at the beginning it frustrated a lot of the Japanese army's spirit, but the other side is advanced in equipment and strong, and they are all masters who are not afraid of death." Because they wanted to cross the river, the Nationalist army blocked the other side of the river, and even if they had the advantage in the terrain, they were still powerless to resist the fierce attacks of the Japanese army, and suffered heavy casualties. In this battle, they fought in Qinghe for three days and three nights, and these national troops were also good, seeing that the Japanese army's firepower was so fierce, they still dared to confront it head-on. At that time, I heard that there was an onmyoji in the Japanese army, what kind of evil arts, it is said that this person can make the enemy frightened with a little spell, but there is also a Taoist priest with strong spells in the national army, and I heard that this Taoist priest is from the Maoshan faction. ”
Xiao Yue interrupted him and asked, "Maoshan faction?" What is it called? ”
Old man Li tried his best to recall: "I can't remember exactly what his name was, because he didn't officially tell us his Taoist name at that time, but he heard others call him from time to time, and after a few decades, he forgot it." ”
Xiao Yue nodded and remained silent.
Old man Li continued: "This Dao Chang is really a powerful person, he is dressed in a Taoist robe, with long crane hair and hair, fairy wind and bones, and the onmyoji in the Japanese army fighting on the other side of the Qing River, that scene is really something I can't forget in my life." Speaking of this, Old Man Li sighed heartily, and continued: "As a Chinese citizen, it should be everyone's responsibility to fight Japanese devils, at that time I secretly hid in a forest on the bank of the Qing River, watching the battle from afar, in fact, I really wanted to join the national army, do my meager efforts, I don't want to see the two great mages fighting that day, it is really the most praiseworthy thing in my life." You haven't seen it with your own eyes, and you can't imagine how exciting it was to be. ”
I saw the two of them casting their own spells, and the talisman magic weapons were circling and flying over the Qinghe, crisscrossing and crisscrossing, gorgeous and colorful, and dizzying. The two things collided together, making a deafening explosion, stirring up the water of the Qinghe River dozens of feet high, this is a scene that I can't dream of, isn't it the same as the ancient myths and legends of the gods and goddesses, at that time I was dumbfounded, I really can't believe everything in front of me. ”
"The two masters fought for three days and three nights without winning or losing, and in the end, it may be because they both ran out of mana and suffered some internal injuries before they stopped fighting. After a few days, the chief suddenly asked the seven villagers in the Qinghe area to elect young and strong men to find a suitable place in each village to build a temple, and I was selected to participate in the construction of the temple. Because this matter needs to be hidden, in order to prevent the Japanese army from finding out, we all set up it in the middle of the night while it is dark. Fortunately, there were many men in the village, and the temples were not very large, and after seven days, the temples in the seven villages were completed. Then I don't know where I got the statue of the god, and as soon as the temple was built, the statue was invited in. ”
Old man Li stopped suddenly, picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the cup, then poured it, and said: "It's really amazing, as soon as the statue of this temple god is done, when the Taoist and the Japanese onmyoji fight again, the onmyoji is actually invincible in mana and begins to lose." That day, I saw that the clouds were dense, lightning and thunder, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be stirred by the gods, forming the shape of a whirlpool, and the magic weapons and talismans that the long sacrifice made flew and rotated under the whirlpool dark clouds, emitting colorful divine light, forcing the Yin and Yang mages to be helpless. At this time, the long sword in the hand of the Taoist chief was unsheathed, sacrificed in the air, twisted the sword in his hand, stepped on the gang step fight, chanted a mantra in his mouth, and suddenly "boom" a thunderclap, the sword 'brushed' to the air, stopped in the middle of many talismans and magic weapons, vertical in the air, rapid rotation, and made a piercing ' Woo' sound, and then the statue of the god in the newly built temple actually appeared in the whirlpool of dark clouds, divine majesty, with irresistible deterrence, and then the seven gods turned into different colors of strange light, poured into the flying sword, at this time the Taoist hand waved, the flying sword with the power of thunder, straight to the onmyoji, with a burst of noise, the onmyoji's body was pierced by the flying sword, the remaining strength was not weakened, with the body directly into the bottom of the Qinghe River, now his body is still in the Qinghe River, has not been fished up. Some say the corpse has been eaten by fish and shrimp in the river. ”
After this paragraph, Old Man Li's face exuded a strange color, enthusiastic and excited, dancing with his hands, and when he said the end, it was difficult to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, a face full of wrinkles became red, and a pair of clear eyes shot out an amazing light.
He continued: "The Dao Commander seems to have used it excessively, so his vitality was greatly damaged, and he spat blood and his body was shaky, but fortunately he was helped back by several soldiers. The Japanese army was very angry when they saw their own onmyoji buried here, and they rushed forward like crazy, the equipment of the national army could not compare with them, but there were several times more people, even so, they still lost most of their troops, and the Japanese army was completely wiped out. ”
The brilliance on his face suddenly disappeared, his expression became very strange, and his tone was not so loud, and he said: "The water of the entire river of the Riqing River was stained red with blood, and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers were piled up in the river, like a high mountain. That scene is really indescribable, it is unbearable, and now when I recall it, I still have palpitations in my heart. ”
Li Jun suddenly asked, "What about those corpses after that?" How did you clean it up? ”
Old man Li said: "This is strange, the national army originally planned to dig a pit in a certain piece of land first, and then move those corpses into the pit and bury them, but the next day the piles of corpses were all gone. ”
"What?" Xiao Yue and Li Jun exclaimed at the same time, this is simply nonsense, how could a good corpse be piled up in the river, how could it suddenly disappear?
"Could it be washed away by the river?" Li Jun asked.
Old man Li shook his head and said: "At that time, the national army also thought so, but after searching all over the Qinghe River Valley, they didn't find anything. ”
Xiao Yue asked, "What happened later?" ”
Old man Li sighed and said, "Later, somehow, the national army left this place without explaining anything. ”
"The Daoist also went along?" Li Jun asked.
Old man Li said: "I'm not sure about this. ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yue asked.
Old man Li said: "Because I heard some people say that in order to suppress the resentful spirits of the Japanese Onmyoji, the Taoist chief did not hesitate to die and borrowed his own soul to enhance the power of suppression. It is said that at that time, his spirit broke away from his body, turned into a blue light, pierced the bottom of the Qinghe River, and fused with the sword that pierced through the Onmyoji. And the body was carried back by the national army. But others say that he was actually alive and left with the National Army that day. ”
After hearing this story, Xiao Yue was even more sure that the wicked man who hid in the dark and used evil spells to kill the young girl definitely had a direct connection with the onmyoji who was sealed at the bottom of the Qinghe River. Maybe they are brothers or relatives...... And he has been planning for a long time, trying to destroy the Seven Star Beidou Array, just to rescue the Onmyoji and take revenge.
