Chapter 67: Yoshino Kofun

After dark, Mt. Yoshino once again resounded with the song of "Starry Falling Autumn Wind Gojohara", which was desolate and magnificent for a while.

The infantry wing blocked the mountain pass, and Qin Beiyang, Guang and Jiuse, went around to the back of the mountain, climbed up the hillside, and overlooked the ancient tomb piled up with stones.

In early spring, the cold moon is like a hook, and the Yoshino cherry blossom trees are sleeping all over the mountains, silently waiting for the good time when the buds bloom.

On top of the ancient tomb is a stone platform, and the armor of five famous Warring States generals stands in the moonlight-

Honda Tadakatsu's Antlers Waki Tachito Kuroito Weimaru Guashi, Date Masamune Tetsukuro Tu Gomei Guazu, Sanada Yukimura Rokubunkan Chibei Akushi, Uesugi Kenshin Nanban Carcass, Takeda Shingensuwa Dharma Armor......

Only Toyotomi Hideyoshi Maran, who dominated the world, was burned to ashes by the glass fireball of the tomb beast of the young Kirin Town a month ago.

Diesel generators are built on top of the ancient tombs, and they emit a violent roar, like the sound of battle in ancient times when mountains roar and tsunamis. Dozens of soldiers stood in a line around the burial mound, and Lieutenant Saburo Hatata, who was the leader, drew his saber and gave an order to act in front of five freshly wiped armors.

Honda's armor moved first, spears dancing in midair, and the antlers on top of his head moved before his body moved. It had been damaged a month earlier and had been restored by engineers from the Army University. Then there is the armor of Date Masamune, the one-eyed dragon, whose crescent moon above his head is more dazzling than the crescent moon in the sky. Takeda Shingen is like returning to Kawanaka Island, sitting on an ancient tomb and pointing out the country. Sanada Yukimura, as a former Takeda retainer, raised a sword to protect the left and right. Uesugi Kenshin wrapped the monk's white cloth on his head, like the king of Bishamen, left behind and independent.

Qin Beiyang on the hillside could see it clearly—there was a wire connected to the back of each armor, leading to the rumbling diesel engine, becoming a mixture of the soul of a famous general and diesel electricity, just like the power of the tomb beast came from the heart of the spirit stone. They perform a variety of slashing moves on the kofun, making them more agile and powerful than they can do in Kyoto Sagano.

The co-captain walked up to the armor, brandished his saber in his hand, and said something in his mouth. Date Masamune, who was behind him, actually made the same move. Then came Tadakatsu Honda, Yukimura Sanada, Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda, all of whom became puppets of the captain, imitating his movements, slashing and slashing, tossing and turning.

The jade pendant on his chest was hot again, and Qin Beiyang suddenly understood that under certain conditions of time and space, as long as there was a person in command to make a move, the armor would have the same behavior.

Now it is one person who commands five armors, and in the future one person can control thousands of armies, what a powerful weapon it will be!

If Japan copied and produced the armor of the Warring States masters of the "soul machine" in batches and used it to invade China, such as the three eastern provinces and Shandong, which had been coveted for a long time, it would definitely kill the weak Beiyang warlords without leaving a single piece of armor.

Qin Beiyang is determined to stop all this!

He calmed the impatient Nine Colors a little, picked up a stone, the weight was quite heavy, looked at the armor on the ancient tomb in the moonlight, pointed at the target with his left hand, and drew a crescent-like arc with his right hand.

Stones flew over the moonlight of early spring.

The light held his breath as if a stone was glittering, like a meteor falling to the earth, and it hit the top of Kenshin Uesugi's head wrapped in white cloth with precision.

The heavy stones flying from a high place, coupled with Qin Beiyang's amazing arm strength, smashed the armor to sway at the moment, and it actually held on and did not fall. The Sengoku Daimyo, who had been moving in unison, was disrupted by this sudden blow, and there was a burst of cracking sound from inside Uesugi Kenshin's armor, and the entire ancient tomb was shaken......

The Wing Captain turned back in panic and found himself flying high into the air, looking down at the five pieces of armor below. Kenshin Uesugi's katana was dripping blood, and there was an officer's body, standing on an ancient tomb with teeth and claws, blood spurting out of his neck.

What about the head?

Oh, the Wing Captain only found that his head was flying in the sky, and the armor of the famous Sengoku General had cut off his head.

The soldiers saw that the captain of the wing was hacked to death, and even the iron-clad army began to panic. Saburo Qin Tian ordered everyone to remain quiet. But the five armors were completely out of control and rushed madly towards all the living. The Type 38 rifle fired at the armor, and although the bullets could pierce through the sturdy Nanban carcass and tendons, it could not destroy the soul wearing the armor.

Japanese swords fluttered over the ancient tombs, offering the blood of young Japanese soldiers, and countless heads flew into the rubble. Gunshots, screams, broken limbs, clashing swords......

Another killing, in the moonlight of Yoshino Kofun.

Qin Beiyang grabbed Light's back and told her not to panic. After all, Japanese armor is not a tomb beast, once activated, only the killing instinct on the battlefield remains, and there is no way to distinguish between friend and foe, and all living humans, including animals, will become the target of attack.

Sure enough, a startled bird soared into the air and was cut in half by Date Masamune.

The soldiers were almost killed. Qin Tian Saburo, who raised his saber to resist, also fell in a pool of blood. The last soldier, desperately throwing a grenade, exploded right on the fuel tank of a diesel generator.

The loud sound of the sky cracking shook Qin Beiyang's eardrums. Black and red flames rose from the burial mound, filled with the smell of diesel burning, and the entire area of Mt. Yoshino was enveloped in smoke. The rocks almost flew to the top of the mountain, and Qin Beiyang used his body to protect the little girl. The mountain breeze blows away, blowing away debris and black fog.

To some extent, it was a stone thrown by Qin Beiyang that killed so many people.

He looked down with his mouth and nose covered, and the ancient tomb looked like the ruins of a battlefield, covered with diesel engines and the remains of soldiers, and a large hole was blown out in the middle.

The dust has settled......

Suddenly, two figures scurried to the ancient tomb. Looking at the clothes, he was definitely not a soldier, and one of them was wearing glasses. They turned over the corpses on the ancient tomb and shone their flashlights into the depths of the cave......

Qin Beiyang let Guang guard the hillside, he climbed down with the nine-colored rolling belt, pulled out the Tang knife on his back, and shouted in Japanese: "What person?" ”

The other party raised his hands in horror, and the moonlight illuminated their faces, one was Haneda Taiki, and the other was the tomb robber Kogi.

"So you're still alive!" Qin Beiyang said to Haneda, and he turned his head to look at Xiao Mu again, "You came to rob the tomb of the ancient tomb?" How did you end up together? ”

"I ......"

Xiao Mu is still submissive, but he is wearing a tight suit, a big bag behind his back, and a rope wrapped around his waist, dressed as a tomb robber.

"I have to stop their experiments."

Haneda knelt on the ground and looked at the corpses that had been slain. Only one lieutenant officer was still alive, but he was seriously wounded and completely unconscious.

Someone patted Qin Beiyang on the back, and he swung his knife in horror to slash away, but heard the girl's scream. Fortunately, Guang had fallen to the ground, and Qin Beiyang picked her up: "Why did you come down?" ”

"You left me alone on the mountain, I'm afraid!"

The twelve-year-old pouted, and tears were about to fall. Qin Beiyang had no direction, so he could only coax the little girl not to cry.

He looked down for the remains of his armor, but found nothing, maybe they all fell into a big hole in the top of the ancient tomb?

"I'm sorry, Beiyang, I'm such a coward! On the first day of the first month of the old calendar, in Sagano, Kyoto, I didn't expect that the armor of these 'soul machines' would go out of control and kill Professor Yamamoto on the spot. The next day, I returned to Sagano with the people, and the armor was gone. I set my sights on the Army Infantry Wing in Kyoto. They had approached Professor Yamamoto include the armor experiment in the military's program. But the professor refused, he only wanted to develop a 'soul machine', and didn't want armor to be used as a killing weapon. ”

"How did you find here?"

"The Ministry of War also has my eyeline, and I heard that a military column left Kyoto for Nara, and the army marched to Mt. Yoshino. Their destination will be Yoshino Kofun! Haneda Taiki patted Kogi on the shoulder, "Half a month ago, I went to a temple in Osaka to offer incense, and I happened to bump into Mr. Kogi. It turns out that you came to Japan together, and he is a master of digging graves, and his experience in the underground can help me.

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Haneda!"

Kogi has also learned to speak Japanese, and it seems that he hasn't dug a grave for a long time, and his hands are itchy.

"Are ama alright?"

"She's so nice! The two children were also very good, and I went out to work with Mr. Haneda and received an honorarium of several hundred yen. I bought them new clothes and good food, and the ama was so happy that I was finally able to support myself. ”

Qin Beiyang suddenly felt some sympathy - this man did not come to dig graves, but to feed women and children.

"Because we also have the power of ancient souls buried under our feet?"

"The soul of the Fang Xiang clan must be summoned on the night of the burial ceremony at the Kofun Shrine, otherwise these armors may not be activated."

Taiki Haneda shines a flashlight on the large hole in the roof of the ancient tomb, and the black cloth is like an abyss of hell in the middle of winter.

Suddenly, there was a "help" sound from the depths of the burial mound, first in Japanese and then in Chinese.

Qin Beiyang frowned, and shouted at the entrance of the cave: "Qi Yuanshan!" ”

Far underground, the echo of Qi Yuanshan came: "Beiyang! Save me! ”
