Chapter 4: Rasputin's Ghost (2)

1. "Rasputin's Grave Beast?" ”

"Well, why are the ten horns and seven heads so powerful and ferocious? Because the owner of its tomb is An Lushan, who was a beastly rebellious thief who almost destroyed the Tang Empire. ”

"Qin! You have a point! Baron Wolf suddenly felt enlightened, "If a tomb beast has the soul of the demon monk Rasputin, how terrifying it would be!" ”

"The admiral is suddenly ill and rushed to the hospital, and he feels that one statue of ten horns and seven heads is not enough, and one more Rasputin, the two most ferocious tomb beasts in the world, must be added to help him tide over the difficulties."

Wolf smoked a cigarette and watched as Mars quickly faded into the cold winter: "No, we must not let out Rasputin's soul, this devil will completely destroy the calamitous Russian nation, and he must be left in hell forever." ”

"But the admiral's order ......" Qin Customs knew that Kolchak was a man of iron, "he would kill us." ”

"Qin, would you like to run away with me?"

"Where to flee?"

"Well...... Baron Wolfe pondered for a long time, "what about going to China?" Haven't you always missed your son? ”

After thinking about it for a night, Qin Customs decided to flee. He first went back to his home in Omsk and spent the last night with the little white Russian widow with whom he lived, telling her that he was going on a hike and that he did not know when he would return.

At dawn, Lao Qin and Wolf each mounted a good horse, brought enough weapons, furs, dry food, and coins, and quietly disappeared into the snowy Siberian wilderness. Just two days after I walked out, I encountered a terrible snowstorm. They had to pitch their tents in the forest and keep warm with an inexhaustible source of wood.

After dark, wolves surrounded them. The two shot and killed countless wolves, but more hungry beasts surrounded them. At this time, Qin Customs began to miss his fellow tomb beast - Ten Horns and Seven Heads, although that big monster inherited An Lushan's murderous soul, but in front of Lao Qin, he was a docile livestock, like a farmer's donkey or watchdog. If it is there, let alone a wolf, even if a hundred polar bears come, it will be a whirlwind.

By dawn, they had used up thousands of bullets, and all that was left was a saber and a dagger in their hands, and there were still a dozen hungry wolves in front of them.

Qin Customs grabbed Wolf's arm and said, "Baron, I am old enough to be your father, and we have known each other so far, and today we died together like this." If there is an afterlife, you will be reincarnated as my son. ”

When he said this, he did not mean to take advantage of others, but it was a pity that Wolf was an Orthodox Christian: "Qin, I only believe in the Last Judgment of Christ. But I'm honored to know you. ”

The two of them closed their eyes and were about to sacrifice themselves to feed the wolf, when they remembered a rapid gunshot. The wolves besieging them were shot down one by one, and then the White Russian cavalry in furs appeared.

This is Admiral Kolchak's team that has come to hunt them down. It turned out that the little widow of Qin Customs guessed that he was going to run away and return to China, and was worried that he would encounter an accident on the way, so she told the Provisional Government of Belarus. Kolchak was furious and ordered Lao Qin and Wolf to be taken back - they must be alive.

The embarrassed Qin Customs was escorted back to Omsk and knelt in front of the admiral. He and Wolf thought they would die. Unexpectedly, Kolchak loosened their bonds, saying that the war on the front line was tight, and the tomb beast had to go out urgently, and the construction of a mausoleum for the demon monk Rasputin could be postponed.

Lao Qin was lucky to pick up his life, and he and the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast participated in the war again, but on the banks of the Volga River, the invincible ten-horned seven-headed beast was suddenly destroyed by ferocious fire, and the steel shell exploded two large holes, and the auxiliary fuel tank exploded, almost destroying the tomb beast from the inside.

Returning to Omsk in despair, even if he is a skilled craftsman, he is powerless to repair it - the structure of ten corners and seven heads is too complicated, seven heads are equal to seven thoughts, each going in a different direction, and if there is no unified intelligence, he will fight with himself.

At a loss, the French military representative suggested that seven heads of ten horns be transported to France, where the best engineers in the world would be able to repair the tomb beast, and perhaps make it in large quantities.

The admiral agreed to this plan. Lao Qin must walk with the ten horns and seven heads to prevent the tomb beast from getting out of control. The All-Russian Provisional Government sent a representative, Baron Franz von Wolff, an old partner of the Qin Customs, to attend the Paris Peace Conference.

In the spring of that year, the onion-headed spires of the wooden churches rang with bells, and the tricolor of the Russian emperor fluttered over the towers. The wasteland is covered with residual snow, the temperature is still hovering at freezing temperatures, the Irtysh River has just thawed, and the turbulent water from Altai, Xinjiang, China, is rushing towards the Arctic Ocean with ice cubes.

Qin Customs, who was nearly sixty years old, had a big beard, a fur hat on his head, a tweed coat with a pullover underneath, an imperial Russian medal pinned to his chest, and Cossack riding boots on his feet. On the square in front of the Omsk Cathedral, Kolchak, the "Supreme Consul of All Russia", inspects the army. As he had seen the Russian admiral for the first time, he received a warm Slavic veneer and a kiss.

Lao Qin and Wolf set out, with ten horns and seven heads in a large wooden box, riding horses and camels, along the Kazakh grazing trail, through the Gobi desert on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, crossing the Volga River and the Kalmyk steppe, and the Don Cossacks loyal to the tsar came to welcome.

They saw the Black Sea, as the name suggests, a cold black sea, a passage for the invasion of Europe by the steppe peoples for two thousand years, where the Huns, Bolgars, Magyars, Turks, and Mongols had all visited.

Arriving at the Crimean Peninsula controlled by Denikin, the base of the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol, Qin Customs and Wolf boarded a French warship, together with seven grave beasts in ten corners, and set off for the Mediterranean.

The Black Sea outlet is on the Bosphorus, the thousand-year-old capital of Constantine the Great, the fortress of Byzantium, Istanbul of the Ottomans. Passing through the Gallipoli Peninsula, hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed a few years ago for the battle for this tongue-shaped projectile land.

From the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean, through the Strait of Messina between the Apennine Peninsula and Sicily, and the Qin Customs, which is close to the sixtieth year, Fang Jue is so big that it can be compared to the beasts that have been building tombs in the underground palace for generations, sitting in wells and watching the sky?

In April, warships anchored in the port of Marseille, and the Qin customs set foot on French soil.

The spring breeze of the Mediterranean Sea is completely different from Siberia. The ten corners and seven heads were transported onto the train, the baron sat in the first-class carriage, and Qin Customs insisted on staying in the stuffy tank carriage to accompany his tomb beast.

The train gallops north along the RhΓ΄ne and turns northwest through Lyon. Two days later, the soldiers guarding the carriage cheered "Paris has arrived!" "They stopped at Versails, which was lined with troops, wearing steel helmets and loaded with live ammunition. Qin Customs felt that the situation was not good, and suddenly a bespectacled, unkempt European hugged him with open arms, it was Dr. Karl Holstein - it was this guy's idea to ask Qin Customs to come to Paris from Belarus by name.

While Qin Beiyang crossed the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean and circumnavigated the world from west to east, his father, Qin Customs, was traveling from Siberia to Paris, circumnavigating Eurasia from east to west.

Paris! Paris!
