Chapter 44: The Sealed Gate (1)
He is Ah Hai.
The scar on the right cheek is like a demonic tentacle crawling from the corner of the mouth to the base of the ear. He is not young anymore, the years have carved a few wrinkles on his forehead, and his sideburns have a little gray hair. The only pair of eyes is still the assassin boy who jumped off the courtyard of the German Concession in Tianjin thirty years ago. At his waist was an ivory-handled dagger, inlaid with a white rainbow pattern.
Behind him, there was a huge Tang Dynasty coffin. There are colorful pictures on the catalpa coffin board, and the ship-shaped coffin seems to have dived into the River Styx. Four wheels were installed directly under the coffin, like a mine cart carrying coal, so that it could be propelled forward.
The tomb of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty in Bailuyuan, the real home of this catalpa wood coffin.
The murals are riddled with bullet holes, and the maids, warriors, and eunuchs of a thousand years ago are still vivid, watching in horror at this group of uninvited guests.
Ah Hai turned around, stuck to the wooden plank directly in front of the coffin, and said, "I'm sending you home." ”
The coffin of Empress Wu Zetian and Gaozong Li Zhi's grandson, Ruizong Li Dan's sixth son, and Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, is the key to open the Qianling Tomb. This time, when Ah Hai came to open the door, he had to carry the key with him.
Directly behind the coffin of the little prince, there is a monster-
It had a rigid steel shell, four beast legs, and seven heads of different shapes. Each head has horns, three heads have a pair of horns, four heads have one horn, and seven heads are crowned with ten horns, and each horn has a small crown on it. It has a semicircular bulge on its back, like a turtle shell on top of it, and like a moving coffin. It smelled of decay, and there was a stream of heat rolling inside it, as if it had just crawled out of a mass grave.
It is one of the most evil tomb beasts in Chinese history.
Its tomb owner is An Lushan, more than 50 years after the completion of the Bailuyuan Tomb, it almost overthrew the world of Li Longqi, the elder brother of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
It slept in a cave in the Alps for more than a decade and was stolen a few years ago. It was sent to the factory in Berlin for an arduous and perfect restoration.
Three months ago, Ah Hai and Zhongshan crossed the ocean to Berlin. They learned how to manipulate the murderous beast and bring it back to the East from the Third Reich – and it was a deal: a mustache deal with another mustache.
In the depths of the dungeon, the floor tiles were covered with torn corpses......
Qi Yuanshan squatted down and smoothed the eyes of a dead guard, all of whom had followed him for many years, but they were vulnerable in front of the tomb beast Qin Beiyang.
"Brother, at least we're back."
The hijab on the back of the ten corners and seven heads opened, and a young man jumped down and fell into the pile of corpses on the ground. He is Qi Zhongshan. The last graduate of the Heavenly Kingdom Academy, who has now grown into a seven-foot man, looks dignified, and stands with Qi Yuanshan, and is indeed a brother in battle.
Qi Yuanshan looked at the ghostly ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast, and his vest was hairy: "Zhongshan, have you decided?" ”
Ah Hai replied in place of Zhongshan: "It is tonight, the moment of fate." ”
Zhongshan nodded and said, "Brother, Qin Beiyang has been restrained by Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny", and I don't think he will be able to come back for a while." ”
"No, he's not Qin Beiyang anymore, he's a monster." Qi Yuanshan's tone was low and his expression was downcast, "Who would have thought? He's been gone for five years, and Anna hasn't revealed a word to me, and he's hiding here! ”
Speaking of Anna, Qi Yuanshan's face was difficult to look at.
Ah Hai patted him on the shoulder: "Yuanshan, you and I are the same kind of people. I told you a long time ago that if you want to achieve great things, you can't stick to the love of children. ”
Qi Yuanshan squinted at the scar on Ah Hai's face, his heart churned, and he really wanted to shoot him in the center of his eyebrows immediately, and then drag this filthy body out to feed the dogs......
Ah Hai smiled faintly: "Have you forgotten our deal?" ”
The deal started in Shanghai six years ago.
Qi Yuanshan betrayed his soul.
Shanghai of the "128 Incident". Because of the accurate information provided by Qi Yuanshan, Mo Zhi Tiangong was attacked by Japanese bombers. The Tomb Beast Nine Colors was undergoing a surgical operation to extract the spirit stone, and it had no ability to resist or escape, and was pressed to sit on the dissecting table and wait to be killed. Qi Yuanshan also had to take Anna to appear in the ink master at the same time, risking dying in an air raid, so that no one would suspect him of leaking secrets. However, Nine Colors actually rose from the ruins and turned into a big monster. Immediately after that, the Japanese also had a second wave of air raids, with the aim of killing Qin Beiyang.
Qi Yuanshan never thought of putting Qin Beiyang to death, but he had already ridden the tiger and knew that hell was ahead. He was angry and fearful. He was angry that Ah Hai had deceived him, and that the Japanese would be killed at every step; He was afraid that Anna would leave him completely and take away Qin Jiuse, who he regarded as his own, how much he loved this little girl. What's more, she is the goddaughter of Chang Kaishen and his wife, which is very helpful to Qi Yuanshan's career. Not long after, Ouyang Anna and Qin Beiyang were gone, and their daughter Jiuse was also missing.
In return for the transaction, Ah Hai helped Qi Yuanshan dredge Mr. Dai. With this relationship, Qi Yuanshan rose step by step, getting closer and closer to the center of power. Three years ago, Qi Yuanshan was ordered to go to Germany to purchase arms, learn the Nazi party system, and form a German armor division for China. He was received by Rommel, Guderian, Manstein and other famous generals, and hit Himmler at first sight. It was in his laboratory in Berlin that he met Dr. Holstein, who had been absent for a long time.
The doctor was much older, sitting in a wheelchair, with a pale face and a sharp voice, like a former Qing old eunuch in Zhongguan Village, Beiping. Holstein told Qi Yuanshan that Anna had infiltrated the Notre-Dame Cathedral tower with him, opened the coffin of Qin Jin, the first great venerable of the Craftsmen's Union, and harmed him with the vicious method of cutting off children and grandchildren...... Qi Yuanshan believed that this was done by Anna, and he felt pain in his lower body when he thought about it.
Today, Qi Yuanshan has become a prince of Guanzhong, ruling over millions of people in the territory, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses, and still wakes up from nightmares from time to time. And the person who appeared in his dream the most was Qin Beiyang.
Three days ago, Ah Hai and Zhongshan came to Xi'an, bringing a truck carrying the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty. They walked more than 2,000 kilometers, from the Changbai Mountain Tianchi in the puppet Manchukuo, across the North China Plain, which stretched long for beacons, to reach the Bailu Plain.
The Japanese invaded on a large scale, and Qi Yuanshan had received an order to go out of the border to resist the war. However, he made a deal with Ah Hai, and when he encountered the Japanese advance, he would deliberately release the water, pretending to fight to the death, but in fact preserving his strength and allowing the Japanese army to drive straight along the Pinghan line. Many princes did this, and Han Fuyu, who seized Shandong, was a master of this, but he went too far, and was later shot dead by the chairman in a fit of rage.
The trading conditions brought by Ah Hai were to help Qi Yuanshan excavate the Qianling Tomb, the tomb of the Son of Heaven who had been coveted by tomb robbers and heroes all over the world for 1,200 years.
If you get the Son of Heaven in the tomb, you can get the world, which is what Qi Yuanshan wants.
It is tonight, the moment of destiny.
