1. Qin Customs.

A year and a half ago, the Nanyuan Arsenal was ransacked by the Feng warlords. The White Russian mercenaries drove the armored train and took away Qin Customs, the chief mechanic of the arsenal, and the badly damaged seven-headed tomb beast.

The main work of Qin Customs in Russia is the ten-horned seven-headed tomb beast. It was a difficult and difficult task, but fortunately he had the full support of Kolchak, the machinery and equipment sent by the Entente, and the support of Baron Franz von Wolff, the best engineer in Belarus. The young nobleman, with a German surname, restored the internal combustion engine and other powertrains originally designed by Dr. Holstein.

In the long process, the Ten Horns and Seven Heads lost control twice, killing a large number of White Russian soldiers and rushing into the reckless jungles of Siberia. Every time, Qin Customs came forward, like the owner summoning pets, using northern dialect and Tang Dynasty dialect plus the Hu language - all of which he learned in his sleep with Shijiao Qitou and An Lushan, before calling this behemoth back to his side.

When Lao Qin completely repaired the tomb beast, he became almost half Russian. He lived with a little white widow and learned simple Russian. This Chinese man, who was proficient in all kinds of craftsmen's crafts and did not drink heavily, was especially popular with Russian women.

In 1918, the 150,000-strong White Russian army marched from Siberia to the heart of Russia, targeting Moscow and Petrograd. In Yekaterinburg, the war was at a stalemate, and a monster appeared in the camp of the White Army - seven strangely shaped heads, a total of ten sharp horns, each with a crown on it, and on each head was engraved with an indecipherable symbol. The monster has a Gatling machine gun hidden in its seven heads, and a French rapid-fire cannon in its body. It unleashed countless bullets and cannonballs, sweeping across wheat fields like the scythe of death, reaping hundreds of lives.

No living person dared to resist the ten-cornered seven-headed tomb beast - a killing machine from the Tang Dynasty tomb in Quyang Tianzhuang, An Lushan Underground Palace. The White Russian chaplain also crossed and said, "May such a satan sink to hell forever." ”

Riding on the bones, the White Army finally opened the gap in Yekaterinburg and captured the largest city in the Urals named after Empress Catherine I.

But the admiral's target was not Yekaterinburg, but the last tsar - Nicholas II.

They found the bones of the Tsar's entire family......

The Romanov dynasty, which ruled Russia for 300 years, was a plagued family, sick, assassinated, died young, and was mentally ill...... Nicholas II, who was considered a tyrant by his own people. After the events in Sarajevo, he supported his Slavic brother Serbia and declared war on his cousin, Kaiser Wilhelm II. The Great War cost Russia millions of people, ultimately in exchange for the end of the royal family.

Baron Wolf received an order to build a secret mausoleum for the Tsar, plus a tomb beast, and the admiral promised to pay a hundred kilograms of gold to the Qin Customs as a reward.

Lao Qin thought he had heard it wrong, it wasn't a hundred kilograms of paper money issued indiscriminately by the Russian Provisional Government, right?

"No, gold indeed! The gold reserves of the Tsarist Empire were controlled by the admirals. Wolf smiled bitterly, "I think this is the madness before he is about to die!" ”

One hundred kilograms of gold is enough to buy the entire Prince Gong's Mansion in Beijing, or even half of the Forbidden City!

Guarding in front of the bones of the Tsar's family, Qin Customs considered it for three days and three nights...... He decided to accept the task of creating a mausoleum for the last tsar according to the specifications of the Chinese emperor and the skills of the tombsmiths.

In the icy and snowy Ural Mountains, Qin Customs and Wolf walked for several days with shotguns on their backs to find a dragon vein. There is a place where the atmosphere is particularly strong, and there are several large pine trees that grow to the sky. The technique of Feng Shui is also effective for the mountains and rivers of the world. The so-called dragon vein is only a Chinese word, and it is by no means limited to China.

After the point was successful, they dug a deep well and put it into the rosary of the last tsar during his lifetime, which is the golden well of the auspicious land for ten thousand years. Kolchak sent a group of sappers, a large number of construction machinery, and ordered it to be completed within three months. In the past, it was unthinkable in China, and it is not surprising that it would take three or five years, or even more than ten years, to build a tomb. But making the machine hard to say. Fortunately, the Russians are not very particular, as long as they are solid and solid, simple and rude pouring reinforced concrete, the tomb door is a steel plate up to tens of centimeters thick, much more reliable than the stone door of the Chinese mausoleum, and can be installed in a few hours.

Qin Customs began to "make beasts in the Nine Palaces" - this will be the last tomb beast to make in this life, and it may also be the last tomb beast in human history.

The first house, vow recital. Helplessly, the tsar did not understand Chinese, so Lao Qin saved himself from writing an article, and Baron Wolf wrote a table in Latin and Russian and burned it.

The second house, designed by the tomb beast. Qin Customs racked their brains, and finally Wolf provided the idea - the double-headed eagle, this pattern comes from the ancient Byzantine Empire, after the Turks captured Constantinople, the Byzantine princess fled to Moscow, and since then the double-headed eagle has become the national emblem of Russia, with one head facing Europe and one head facing Asia, representing the unification of Eurasia. With Wolfe's help, Lao Qin quickly drew the drawings, and the two-headed eagle town tomb beast had jumped onto the paper.

3rd house, selection of materials. In these years, any material can be found, except for spirit stones. Qin Customs traveled all over the Ural Mountains, and then rode through Siberia in a dog sled, along the Ob River to the shore of the Arctic Ocean, and saw a polar bear walking on the ice, and suddenly sensed the aura and temperature of the spirit stone.

It turns out that there is an abandoned mine pit from the Imperial Russian era nearby, like a funnel that has been hit by a meteorite. They dug hundreds of meters into the ground before they unearthed a large steaming black stone, like rusty and uneven bronze.

Returning to the Ural Mountains with the spirit stone, Baron Wolf walked all the way to take care of Lao Qin's diet and daily life. Passing through the dark night forest of Siberia, a hungry wolf howl sounded everywhere, and he held his shotgun and said, "Qin, do you know? My German surname originally meant wolf. ”

"But you don't look like it at all."

"Yes, now the Russian aristocracy has either fled abroad, or their families are ruined. Qin, do you still have family in China? ”

"I have a son, the only relative, who I haven't seen for more than a year. I miss him so much. If it weren't for the fact that Omsk was too far away from China and my health was too bad, I would have fled back to him. ”

Qin Customs coughed violently as he spoke, his handkerchief blocked his mouth, and a large ball of blood had been coughed up.

"Do you have tuberculosis?" The baron subconsciously took two steps back, "Or the Spanish flu?" ”

"No, it's worse than that! But don't worry, I won't infect you. The reason why I am about to die is in the body of the Tomb Beast. ”

"Because of this stone?" Baron Wolf, who was traveling with him, looked at the spirit stone hidden in Lao Qin's backpack, "When I was studying in Germany, I collected all kinds of natural minerals, some of which are extremely harmful to the human body - called radioactivity. ”
