On the cliff, the islanders of the Evil Dragon Sacrifice retreated one after another, but they did not disperse.

Ouyang Anna saw the situation and said loudly: "Folks of Dharma Mountain! I am Ouyang Sicong's daughter Anna, and you have watched me grow up since I was a child. My father asked me to go to the island to talk to everyone, don't do the 'evil dragon festival' anymore. I promise! Science will overcome the dragon! ”

The islanders were silent for a long time, and someone said, "Miss Anna, the 'Evil Dragon Sacrifice' has long been stopped, and it was your father who asked us to resume the sacrifice to the evil dragon." It was also your father who bought boys and girls from the mainland every year to replace the islanders' own children. ”

He ...... But he has long since abandoned evil and eaten fast and recited Buddha from good! If you do this again, the government will send troops to the island to sweep it, and when the time comes, my father will not be able to protect the villagers. ”

At this point, the islanders retreated in a daze, leaving Qin Beiyang and Anna and others, as well as two trembling children. Listening to the accent, they are from Jiangbei, and they were sold by their parents to traffickers because of the famine, and then sold from Ningbo to Damo Mountain.

Everyone left the cliff and escorted the two children to the stone house of the Ouyang family.

Standing on the top of the hill, he used his telescope to look at the sea on all sides, especially the ship with the Peruvian flag.

Only Qin Beiyang looked at the nine-colored eyes and said, "You say, is there really an evil dragon?" ”

In winter, the sun sinks into the sea early, and it is completely dark at five o'clock. Qin Beiyang had an illusion: it was as if the Dharma Mountain had sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Ye Kenan said under the lantern: "In the year of Gengzi, China has suffered a catastrophe! The treasury silver of the household department was robbed of 3 million taels by the Japanese army, and the "Yongle Canon" and "Siku Quanshu" of the Hanlin Academy were burned. The following year, on behalf of the Qing government, Li Hongzhang signed the "Xinchou Treaty" with the eleven countries, and he died after signing it. The compensation is 450 million taels of silver, and the principal is worth 1 billion taels! So far, the Beiyang government is still paying reparations to various countries every year, and it will take 39 years to pay off this bad debt! ”

"Even if you use the annual interest to help the famine in Henan and other places, you will definitely not starve so many people to death! Even most of them were kicked back by corrupt officials. ”

After Qin Beiyang finished speaking, he looked at Ah You again, as well as the pair of boys and girls, who seemed to be referring to something.

"Ten years ago, Japan's Haneda Steamship Company was responsible for carrying China's Gengzi indemnity to Japan. In addition to a million taels of customs silver, there were several hundred passengers on board. The steamer set off from Shanghai, sailed to the middle of the East China Sea and disappeared. ”

Anna replied bluntly: "Inspector Ye, do you suspect that my father's career is related to this million taels of silver?" ”

Perhaps, he only used a small part of it, and most of it is still hidden on the Bodhidharma Mountain. Perhaps, his death had something to do with the million silver. Maybe ......"

"Don't, maybe! Inspector Ye, in order to avenge my father and find those assassins, I am willing to cooperate with you. My father's death definitely has something to do with the Japanese! Could it be ...... That Haneda Taishu, is it fake to buy the tomb beast, and it is true to spy on the truth to take revenge? ”

After dinner, Qin Beiyang walked up to the top of the mountain with nine colors.

He found a stone disc with a criss-crossed grid of surfaces, roughly counting nineteen each—originally a millstone, carved into a checkerboard grid. There are also stone piers at both ends, I am afraid that the ancestors of the Ouyang family loved to play chess, and the open-air chess room on the top of the mountain was specially built. There are hundreds of pebbles scattered on the board, half black and half white.

In the past few days, as long as he is free, Qin Beiyang will read the ancient "Chunxi Chess Book", and he feels that his chess skills have improved a lot. Now that you have a chessboard and chess pieces, you don't have to play blind chess in your heart. He raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand, picked up a sunspot, and placed it on the star. After a pause, he picked up the white son again, and put down the star position on the other side, the black son Xiaomu...... With the white light of the horse lantern and the starry sky on the top of the mountain, Qin Beiyang played more than a dozen rounds with him.

The town grave beast crouched across from him, clawed a white piece between them, and placed it in a position that threatened the chess tendons.

"Huh! Nine colors, you can also play chess? ”

Nine Colors nodded.

Following the sea breeze on the top of the mountain, Qin Beiyang heard a strange sound, although he couldn't understand it, it was definitely a voice, and it was a boy's voice.

Qin Beiyang enlightened: "Hey! Are you playing Go with the owner of the tomb, the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, in the underground palace? ”

Nine Colors nodded again, her glass-colored eyeballs twinkling in the starlight.

"Good! In the future, I will play chess with you instead of the little prince, play with you, and we will go to the world together. ”

Unexpectedly, this young Qilin Town Tomb Beast was actually a master of the Tattoo Theory. One man and one beast, you come and go, the situation on the stone chessboard is as chaotic as the warlord war of the Republic of China......

The chess game entered the official stage, and a voice came from behind Qin Beiyang: "Black chess narrowly won." ”

"Who?"

Qin Beiyang jumped up in surprise, and Jiu Se also climbed onto the chessboard, raised his red mane, stared at a pair of eyes, and the chess pieces were all messed up.

In the dim light, the other party revealed a young face, one side of which was hidden in the shadows, wearing a plain gown, delicate and clean, with a scarf hanging down to his chest, quite like a scholar.

"The moon is born on the sea! With such a good view, sitting on the top of Dharma Mountain and playing chess with beasts, it is really a happy day for the gods in the sky. The man walked to the opposite side of Qin Beiyang, and Jiuse immediately turned back to his master. He sat down generously and cleaned up the board in his own words, "You can call me 'friend.'" Qin Beiyang, don't come unharmed? ”

"You know me?" Qin Beiyang subconsciously touched his hand to his body, and really regretted not bringing the gun out, "But do I know you?" ”

The "friend" is like a nocturnal animal, able to see every detail in the darkness. Kerosene lamps sit on the edge of the board, illuminating the joints and veins in his hands, as well as his neatly trimmed nails, and finally his entire face.

A centipede-like scar appeared on the right cheek.

In an instant, Qin Beiyang's blood rushed to the top of his head. He controlled himself from shouting, and his lips and right hand trembled violently.

At the same time, he felt two people standing behind him, listening to the sound of footsteps and breathing, and the murderous aura rolling in the wind—just like the night of destruction eight years ago.

Jiu Se was about to have a seizure, but Qin Beiyang held down his neck, he leaned over and said to the young beast's ear, "Be quiet." ”

He knew that at least two daggers, the comet striking the moon on the tusk handle, were aimed at his vest. If he resists easily, he will be pierced in the heart in an instant.

Also, the stone house is close at hand, and if something happens, Anna and Ah Yu will be in danger. Although Ye Kenan had guns, there were at least three Assassins, maybe more, and he might not be able to deal with any of them.

"I know you." Qin Beiyang pretended to be calm, "It's been eight years, I've dreamed of your face countless times, and I've longed to see you again countless times." Then, kill you with your own hands. ”

The other party was only twenty-six or seventeen years old, and he touched the scar on the right side of his face, which was given by the nine-year-old Qin Beiyang.

The other two are also clear - the second is tall and burly, and must be one of the murderers of the Hongkou Hunting House Massacre; The third was slender and seemed to be young, but wore a vague mask.

"I'm sorry! Sometimes, too, I want to kill you......" The assassin with the scar on the right side of his face looked calm, no longer panicked and angry eight years ago, "Why don't we play a game?" If you win, I won't kill you. I also promise not to hurt your partner. ”

Qin Beiyang stared into his eyes: "What if I lose?" ”

"Then please come with me."

"Where to go?"

Stand by me (Original Vocals: Ben E. King)

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we’ll see

No I won't be afraid, oh I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me , stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no I won’t shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me, oh stand by me

Oh stand now, oh stand, stand by me
