Chapter 26: The Ancient Tombs of Shanghai (2)

"Well, a birthday present brought to me from Switzerland by a Japanese diplomat was only for the nobility of Europe."

After that, Hikaru Saga was a little uneasy, and deliberately shrank his body back. But she didn't want to just go back to China, and the boarding school in Tokyo was a prison in her eyes. She also wanted to say a few more words to Qin Beiyang.

The carriage crossed the public concession, passed the gate of Jing'an Temple, and when he saw the foreign grave mountain and crematorium opposite, he asked, "Mr. Hai, my brother said that he lives in the old city, doesn't it seem to be here?" ”

"Yes, Princess Light. But you don't know, Qin Beiyang has a quirk, he likes to live in ancient tombs, otherwise he will get sick. ”

"Tombs?"

Saga-Hikaru thought of the Yoshino Ancient Tomb in Nara - Qin Beiyang, who went deep into the Xufu Underground Palace and was proficient in the way of the tomb beasts, seemed to be possible.

"By the way, your surname, Saga, is actually related to the Tang Dynasty mausoleum?" "Saga's surname comes from Emperor Saga, an emperor who admired Chinese culture and sent people to the Tang Dynasty to learn the rules and regulations system, and participated in the construction of the Chongling Mausoleum of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty. Chongling is located in Mt. Saga, in the northern part of Kanchu, which is why there is Mt. Saga, Kyoto, and Emperor Saga, who is buried in Sagano. ”

"Mr. Hai, which ancient tomb in Qin Beiyang is there now?"

"We'll find out later."

The carriage galloped out of the city, along the way there are Westerners' villas, a large open field in the south of the Yangtze River, and a layer of winter wheat spread in the vertical and horizontal Qianmo, waiting for the next spring harvest, and then sowing another season of rice. After crossing the Hongqiao, he traveled all the way to the west and entered the boundary of Qingpu County, which is also the hometown of Zhou Xiuying of the Little Knife Society.

"Mr. Hai, I want to get out of the car!"

Guang had already sensed the problem, but "Mr. Hai" shook his head and said: "The carriage is like a bow and arrow, if it is off the string, how can it turn back?" ”

In an instant, a revolver pressed against his temple.

At that time, bandits were rampant in Shanghai, and they often engaged in street shootouts and assassinations. She is not an ignorant stupid white sweet little sheep, she once pretended to be a bad girl raised in a brothel and wandered with Qin Beiyang. In the past two years, she has learned karate and kendo from her master, and also learned horseback riding and shooting from her father, and she boasts that she can deal with several big men. A few days ago, her father gave her a pistol to defend herself.

"Princess Hikari, did the Marquis of Saga teach you that girls from noble families should not play with guns casually?" Facing the pistol with his head in the head, the man was calm, "Give you one last chance, please put the gun down, otherwise it will ......"

Hikaru Saga hesitated for a moment, and "Mr. Hyme" snatched the revolver with one hand like lightning, and at the same time firmly overwhelmed her. In his seemingly scholarly body, there is a power far beyond ordinary people. It's like a beast.

At the moment of the struggle, Hikari's nails scratched "Mr. Hai" on the face, instantly tearing off half of his face, revealing a centipede-like scar.

Assassin Ahai.

Light was dragged out of the carriage by him, and it was all in vain for the girl to perform judo, kendo, karate. In the midst of the desolate fields, there is a low hill, which is not as high as the ancient tombs and mounds of Bailuyuan.

"Your Royal Highness, I promise, you'll see your brother soon!"

Ah Hai dragged her into a hill full of thorns, and there were remnants of a dilapidated ancient temple, and there was a big hole in the hillside, which looked like a robbery hole in an ancient tomb.

There are ten thousand regrets in the light of his heart, if he had seen through the scar on his face earlier, he would not have gotten into the car if he was killed!

Ah Hai tied her hands tightly with hemp rope and entered the crooked tomb passage, the eerie aura seeping into the soles of her feet. The murals on both sides of the tomb have faded, leaving only gray traces, as if the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu and the like.

"Yaga!" Hikaru Saga was still stiff-mouthed, "My brother is a hero of the world!" He will use An Lushan's Tang knife to break you into pieces! ”

"You also know An Lushan's Tang knife? How much more do you know? ”

It was obvious that Ah Hai was tricking her words, but the light couldn't hold back: "Nine colors! It's a Chinese beast that will stab you into a hornet's nest with its antlers, and then burn you to ashes with a glass fireball......

She has slashed Ah Hai countless times in her heart.

"May your wish be granted, Your Highness the Princess!"

Ah Hai didn't care at all, and led her to the end of the tomb, but heard a voice from the depths of the tomb......

Hush!

Ah Hai made a silent gesture. A cloud of smoke rose in front of them, and people with torches and lanterns were looting the jars and jars in the tomb. The fellows looked like scurrying bandits, dressed in thick padded jackets with large knives and pistols pinned to their waists.

Tomb robbers only need gold and silver treasures, and when they see the dusty clay pots, they simply smash them to pieces. The gang scolded and scolded, and finally found a few metal objects, which had long been oxidized and rusted, and if they could not be restored to their original appearance, they could only be sold as scrap copper and rotten iron.

"Coffin? Where's the coffin? After so long, can't you open this door? The group was trying to open the next door to the tomb, only to find a pile of tattered papers, "What?" Ah! I'm going to! These pieces of hemp paper feel just right! ”

This sentence seems to have completely annoyed Ah Hai. He first tied up Hikaru Saga so that she could not escape, and flew into the crowd.

The light saw a white rainbow of light running through the sun.

The dagger with the ivory handle, the white rainbow with the pattern of the luodian piercing the sun, the blade like a flying bullet, and Ah Hai is like a flying god of death.

There were no screams, only the sound of daggers rubbing against their necks, the cracking of their tracheas and carotid arteries, and even the sound of blood splattering from the skin and flesh.

One, two, three, four, five......

Li Bai's "Chivalrous Journey" says that "kill one person in ten steps, and don't stay for a thousand miles". Ah Hai had only completed five steps, and he had already killed five people.

There were five more corpses on the ground, and Qi Brush had his throat cut with a dagger, and almost every grave robber died without looking at it, wondering why he didn't see the murderer's face clearly.

Finally, the ghosts of these people saw clearly - this right face decorated with a scar, and then went to hell in the ancient tomb.

"Ignorant and ignorant grave robbers!"

Ah Hai put the paper on the ground back together, but it was either rotten or broken, which made him shake his head again and again and feel distressed.

"In your eyes, these lives are inferior to these papers?"

The bound Saga Hikaru asked coldly, and Ah Hai dragged her to the tomb and whispered, "I said that I am a Go player, and I am also a master of drawing orchids, I didn't lie to you." What I hate the most is burning the harp and boiling the crane. My favorite is the five steps that make people splash blood. ”

Ah Hai took a few more steps forward, and when he saw that the next tomb door had not yet been opened, he smiled and said, "Sure enough, they are stupid thieves!" If I don't kill them, wait a little longer, break in, and they'll die even more ugly! These people will thank me in hell. ”

He pressed a flick of the mechanism, and the door to the tomb opened.

Light saw a tomb beast.
