Chapter 171: Heavenly Palace Pillar (II)
Kyoji Miyake listened to what Victor said, endured it, and repeated Victor's words to Shimamoto Muneyoshi in front of him.
Although Shimamoto Muneyoshi was indeed trembling with fear, a nameless fire rose from his heart the moment he heard that he was asked to kneel.
Suddenly, he shouted: "Soldiers of the Empire, how can you kneel down to the enemy!" ”
With that, he smashed the Night Beast in his hand directly at the Night Beast leader, and then drew his saber.
After the leader of the night beast took the bleeding little night beast in one bite, he directly threw it to an adult Chinese New Year's Eve beast next to him.
At the same time, Shimamoto Soyoshi raised his sword and rushed towards the leader of the night beasts, he raised his katana high, and shouted, "Your Majesty the Emperor is ......"
Before the word "year" was finished, Shimamoto Muneyoshi's entire head was directly bitten in the mouth by the leader of the night beast, and then Shimamoto Muneyoshi's hands hung down, and the moment the katana landed, his body also softened.
Kyoji Miyake and the others in the rear trembled when they saw this, and after hearing a clear "click" sound, they saw that the leader of the night beast directly bit off the head of Shimamoto Muneyoshi.
Shimamoto's body fell to the ground, and blood was still spurting from his neck to one side.
Everyone was stupefied, and Victor hurriedly said, "Don't shoot!" Don't shoot! Calm down! ”
No one fired, as their attention was on the mouth of the Night Beast leader, who chewed a few times before spitting out the head of Shimamoto Muneyoshi, who had bitten beyond recognition.
The head rolled on the ground until it reached the two Japanese soldiers in the front row.
At this time, the adult Chinese New Year's Eve beast that caught the little beast in the rear let out a mournful sound, and the rest of the night beasts also let out the same mournful sound, and began to approach the body of the little night beast, and after forming a circle, they stood there with their heads down, making heavy breathing sounds, as if they were crying.
Kyoji Miyake asked, "What now?" ”
Maeda Masaji said, "Shall we withdraw quickly?" ”
Kyoji Miyake said: "Good idea, retreat quickly." ”
Just as Kyoji Miyake and the others were about to retreat, the leader of the night beasts suddenly raised his head and let out a fierce cry at them, and then the rest of the night beasts besieged the group of Japanese legions again.
Kyoji Miyake was stunned: "It's over." ”
Victor held on to his last hope: "Don't worry, who are the soldiers who went out to hunt the little monster with your men just now?" Let them all stand up. ”
Maeda Masaji said angrily: "It's enough to die one, how many more people do you want us to die!" ”
Berghardt said, "It's your own stupidity! It has nothing to do with us, so why should we be responsible for your stupidity? ”
Berghardt's words did make sense, and Masaji Maeda, who originally wanted to argue, was speechless.
Helpless, Kyoji Miyake pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the gendarmes in front of him, motioning for them to step out while telling them to lay down their weapons.
Several gendarmes faced the muzzle of their guns, looked at Kyoji Miyake again, threw away their weapons with a sad face, and walked out to die with heavy steps, two of them already crying in fear.
Originally, these soldiers were just the children of ordinary peasants in Japan, but the militaristic education and the sense of superiority that they had after coming to China led them to the illusion that they were really superior, and eventually turned into bloodthirsty monsters.
But at this moment, in front of the real monsters, they finally understood their identity, and they no longer talked about the emperor in their hearts, and one of the soldiers was crying and calling for his mother.
Masaji Maeda clenched his rifle and closed his eyes to look at it.
After making sure that the soldiers all had the scent of the Nightbeast on their bodies, several Night Beasts swarmed up and tore them to pieces, then each chose a corpse, and under the leadership of the leader of the Night Beast who was holding the body of Shimamoto Soyoshi, they turned around and entered the bronze forest.
When the night beasts were gone, and there was no more sound in the woods, several Japanese soldiers finally collapsed to the ground, and several of them were already frightened.
"It's cruel...... a Japanese soldier cried under his breath.
Hearing this, Oda Jun in the rear just sneered, he looked at Prajnisen and said, "Do you think it's cruel?" ”
Prajna Nissen was silent.
Xiao Tianjun said: "I think it's like retribution, I remember, when I came to Manchuria, once, we went to a village to check, said it was an inspection, in fact, it was to collect the local epidemic situation, at that time I also blurted out that it was really cruel, but my boss told me, no, this group of people don't feel cruel at all, I asked him why, guess how he answered?" ”
Prajna Nisen looked at Oda Jun and shook his head slightly.
Xiao Tianjun looked into the distance and said: "His answer is that as long as these people have never been treated as human beings, then they will adapt to cruelty, and accepting cruelty is their only way of life, so I think that everything just now is not cruelty, it is retribution." ”
Prajna Nissen still shook his head, not knowing whether he didn't understand or wasn't interested.
However, Prajnissen looked deep into the woods and muttered, "I was, like them. ”
Oda Jun looked at Prajna Nissen and knew that he was talking about when he was a puppet spider.
He wasn't sure if the current Pranya Neeson really had the spider consciousness of the past, or if it was that in the process of merging this life, there was some kind of special change in the original person of Nissen.
"We can't go back." Kyoji Miyake looked at the unrecognizable head of Shimamoto Muneyoshi on the ground, "After sacrificing so many people, what is it if you retreat without getting anything?" ”
Victor said lightly beside him: "Agree, then, let's continue to set off, this time, remind your subordinates not to do anything stupid." ”
With that, Victor walked to the side, and Kyoji Miyake looked at his back viciously, blaming the German for all the humiliation he had suffered earlier.
Tang Qianlin and the others, who had already walked to the center of the bronze forest, were surprised to find that there was a huge cylinder standing in the center of the forest, and the cylinder towered from the ground to the top of the cave, and the four rivers flowed directly to the bottom of the cylinder, as if there was an underground river below.
"What is this?" Tang Qianlin stepped forward in surprise, the column that required at least ten people to hold hands to enclose it.
Tang Yushi stepped forward, carefully shone the surface of the cylinder with a flashlight and said, "Dad, look, there are many patterns on it, people, and animals." ”
When everyone stepped forward, they found that there were indeed many patterns on the surface of the cylinder, and they were divided into layers, each layer was about twenty centimeters in shape, and the patterns painted on each layer were different, as if they were talking about something.
Tang Qianlin asked Ye Da: "Can you see what this painting is?" ”
Ye Da didn't rush to answer, he looked at the position above his head from bottom to top, and after looking around several times, he stopped and said: "I don't know what I know above, I can see that some of the paintings are the process of shaman sacrifice, and there are many types, for example, here......"
Ye Da was pointing to a few people wielding tools to make something, and a masked man next to him was holding a piece of something, facing the sky.
Ye Dadao: "This is a common way of sacrificing people who worship shamanism, called sacrificing to the god of gluttony, this kind of sacrifice needs to be beaten, and beating cakes is also commonly known as gluttony." ”
Tang Qianlin pointed to the pattern below, on which a section of a room was drawn, and he could see that someone was placing something in a box in the room, and someone was hanging something on the wall next to him.
Ye Dadao: "This is a way to worship ancestors, but also a way of sacrificing shamans, the box is called the ancestral box, which contains idols representing the ancestral gods, and those hanging next to it are called soli strips, normally these should be enshrined on the west wall, and the patterns below are called changing ropes, back lights, and sacrificing to the god of fire." ”
An Ran squatted down and looked at the bottom circle of patterns: "The pattern below this is so strange, it looks like a Taoist flying immortal map?" I've seen it before, but the characters are not quite the same. ”
Ye Da squatted down and looked carefully: "I said before that shamanism believes that you must enter the underworld first, and only after experience can you enter the final divine realm, the bottom expression is that the shaman ascends to the divine realm, and the divine realm here means the universe. ”
Tang Qianlin looked up at the pillar: "So, the pattern of this pillar is from the top down?" ”
Ye Dadao: "That's right, it should be like this, it seems that the destination we are going to is still below, and we still have to go down." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind a bronze tree not far away: "That's right, you really have to go down." ”
Everyone was startled and hurriedly turned around, only to see Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan slowly walking out from behind the bronze tree.
Li Qingxiang saw Bei Zihong, it was when the enemy was very red when he saw him, and when he stepped forward to prepare to make a move, Yefeng stopped him and said, "Don't be impulsive!" ”
Bei Zihong laughed and said: "Listen to Yefeng, don't be impulsive, because you are not my opponent, you will be beaten to death by me." ”
Li Yunfan also looked at Bei Zihong with hatred, Bei Zihong glanced at Tang Qianlin and the others, and his eyes finally fell on Tang Qianlin: "Tang Qianlin, since we have all come here, why don't we cooperate again, wait until we find the final secret, and then divide the ranks, how about it?" ”
Tang Qianlin stood with a gun: "No need, let's divide the superiority here!" ”
Bei Zihong smiled: "Okay, you guys go up together, I'll deal with the eight of you with Liuyan!" ”
Although they said so, Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan secretly took out a bottle with their hands behind their backs, Bei Zihong knew that Tang Qianlin or Li Qingxiang alone were of course not their opponents, but with Li Yunfan, especially Tang Yu, the godson of the leopard slave adopted by Tang Qianlin, he and Yan Liuyan had no chance of winning.
Just as Yan Liuyan was about to apply poison, Tang Yushi looked vigilantly into the woods to the south, and said at the same time: "Dad, there are a lot of people coming, it sounds like Japanese!" ”
I heard that the Japanese were coming. Bei Zihong and Yan Liuyan immediately put away the bottles, and looked in the direction Tang Yushi was looking at.
Bei Zihong immediately said: "Tang Qianlin, now we are fighting to the death, and the only ones who pick up the cheap can only be the Japanese, why don't we talk about grievances after we get through this difficulty?" ”
Tang Qianlin ignored Bei Zihong, and just signaled everyone to hide immediately.
