Chapter 62: The Soul of the Samurai

Sagano in the snow.

The professor screamed. Those strange figures, slowly moving, do not look like human movements at all, more like manipulated scarecrows or puppets......

Qin Beiyang hid in the woods, and the warm blood jade in his chest was hot again. Nine-colored's glass-colored eyes were about to move. He quickly pressed the red mane to silence the town grave beast.

A figure has sharp antlers growing on the top of its head, which resembles the antlers on the tomb beasts of the young Qilin Town; The second figure has a radiant sun growing on his head; the third man carried a great crescent moon on his back; The fourth man gave birth to six copper coins on the top of his head; The fifth man had a large white cloth wrapped around his head; The sixth man was covered with a large patch of bear hair, like a white-haired demon.

They all had pieces of metal armor on their bodies, some were a single piece of breastplate, and some were cut into vertical or horizontal strips. Whether it is the neck, arms, chest and abdomen, thighs or even hands and feet, there are all kinds of metal or leather protection, and each part is different in shape, material and even color......

Qin Beiyang was dumbfounded, it turned out that these people were all wearing ancient Japanese armor.

"The armor of Japan's famous Sengoku generals!" Taiki Haneda explained one by one, "Honda Tadakatsu's Antlers Waki Tachibu Kuroito Weimaru Guazu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi Maran Goritsu Fukushi, Date Masamune Tetsuguro Tu Gomei Gogoku Gusade, Sanada Yukimura Rokubunkan Chibei Gokushi, Uesugi Kenshin Nanban Carcass, Takeda Shingensuwa Dharma Armor ......"

As he spoke, Uesugi Kenshin Nanban, whose head was wrapped in a white cloth, brandished a shiny Japanese sword, and slashed at the bear-haired Takeda Shingen Suwa Armor. And this Takeda Shingen did not use his sword to resist, but sat on a small chair in the snow, raised an iron fan, and barely blocked this blow from Uesugi Kenshin. The samurai, wrapped in a white cloth like a monk, slashed at Takeda Shingen twice in a row, like the dragon of the North Sea pounced on the tiger of the East Mountain, but they were all blocked by iron fans, sparks splashed everywhere, and the sound of metal collision stung Qin Beiyang's eardrums.

"The soul is back!" Taiki Haneda shouted excitedly, "In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, Kenshin Uesugi singled out Shingen Takeda, the dragon of Echigo and the tiger of Kai, the most powerful name in the history of the Warring States Dynasty!" Professor Yamamoto calls himself a descendant of Kansuke Yamamoto. The historical Yamamoto Kansuke, who was the military advisor of Takeda Shingen, used the woodpecker method to die in the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima. ”

"Who is the man in the armor?"

"No one!"

Hearing such an answer, Qin Beiyang narrowed his eyes and paid attention to the faces under the armor - the six armors were all wearing iron ghost masks, and he couldn't see who it was?

Suddenly, Honda Tadakatsu, with black antlers, wielded a seven-foot spear and hit Date Masamune's face gate with a crescent moon on his head, and the ghost mask fell to the ground with a sound, but there was nothing inside!

Qin Beiyang saw it very clearly, there was no face under the helmet, let alone a head, and there was no famous one-eyed dragon, it was completely air, and he couldn't see the neck and body.

Only then did he understand what Haneda meant by "no one".

The six armors of the famous generals of the Warring States in front of them, they are not samurai wearing armor, but the armor itself!

"What kind of spell is this?" Qin Beiyang grabbed Haneda's arm, "You let the armor automatically resurrect?" ”

"Soul Machine!"

"That's the sound of swords I heard outside the professor's lab!"

Haneda explained in a low voice as he watched the experiment: "Professor Yamamoto of Kyoto University is both an avid lover of 'soul machines' and a collector of Japanese armor. Over the past 30 years, he painstakingly collected the armor and blades of the six famous generals of the Warring States, Honda Tadatakumu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Date Masamune, Sanada Yukimura, Uesugi Kenshin, and Takeda Shingen. The professor found that at a specific time and space, such as the first day of the first lunar month of the old calendar, or the 15th day of the seventh month, Obon, when the armor came to the wilderness, where there were historical relics, they would encounter a strong electromagnetic field, produce special reactions, and even move on their own. ”

"Sagano?" ”

"This valley is the ancient battlefield of the Onin Rebellion more than 400 years ago, and the bones of thousands of defeated samurai are buried, which has a strong appeal of resentment and can awaken the soul of a famous general attached to the armor."

"Legends...... All antiquities have souls left behind by the ancients. ”

Qin Beiyang remembered his father's words - he must treat every antiquity kindly, just like his friends and even ancestors.

"Not bad! Determined to exploit the potential of his armor, Professor Yamamoto has added a mechanical system to each of his generals' armor to allow his limbs and joints to move freely. He also installed a miniature internal combustion engine in the belly of the armor to provide powerful power. As for their combat movements, it is the memory of the armor itself. He used the death poems of the six people as the command command, plus Takeda Shingen's grandson Siru Art of War. ”

"It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as swift as a forest, as invading as fire, and as immobile as a mountain."

This is a sentence that Qin Beiyang repeatedly recited when he was confined in the underground palace of Emperor Guangxu for a year, and it was directly said in Chinese.

"Professor Yamamoto is a close friend of mine, and when I heard about his armor experiments, I naturally remembered the Tomb Beast. However, the research was not approved by Kyoto University, and the president thought that the professor had gone mad. But I secretly funded his experiments. He also got in touch with the European-based Union of Artisans......"

"By the way, Artisan Alliance?"

Before the words fell, an accident happened......

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was shining with the sun above his head, looked like the smallest of all the armor, like a dexterous mountain monkey, brandished his sword and rushed to the edge of the woods, slicing off a human head like lightning.

Professor Yamamoto of Kyoto University, with his bare head flying into the air, spurting a cavity of blood, rolled down to the white snow.

Qin Beiyang panicked in his heart, and even Jiu Se trembled slightly.

The professor's body fell down, blood plums, and the students screamed again and again. Toyotomi Hideyoshi's murderous actions activated the desire of the other armorers, and they all raised their swords to slash at the living.

"Yaga!"

Haneda Taiki cursed loudly, he was also cursing himself, how could such an accident happen?

Sagano, with the light of the sword and the tip of the spear, flashed like a meteor, turning into a barrel Sasama, Sister River, Mikatahara, Nagashino, Yamazaki, Shidake, Komakiyama Nagakute, Sekigahara......

It was not the blood of the samurai and the ashigaru that flowed, but the death of five Kyoto university students, who were in different places and died on a snowy night.

Qin Beiyang couldn't help but rejoice that if he accepted Professor Yamamoto's invitation to work as an assistant in his laboratory, his head would have been cut off. Facing the armor that was killing people everywhere, he once again pulled out his three-foot Tang knife to protect Haneda Taiki behind him.

Suddenly, the "monkey" Toyotomi Hideyoshi's Maran Hou Lifu was fully furnished, brandishing a blood-dripping katana, and rushed towards the small bushes a few meters away.

Qin Beiyang heard a "help", it was a thin little girl's voice.

Huddled in the snow was a girl in red - a girl she met by chance in the bamboo forest, she was not a girl's ghost.

Toyosei Hideyoshi raised her knife and slashed at the girl, she was completely stupefied, and only the strength left was to shout "Ya Yan Butterfly".

Qin Beiyang rushed away, picked up the Tang knife in his hand, and struggled to block this ......

Don't look at the short stature of the "monkey", but the power in the armor is amazingly great, almost cracking Qin Beiyang's tiger's mouth.

However, this ring-headed Tang knife for An Lushan's burial is the ancestor of the Japanese sword, and at the same time made Toyoshi Hideyoshi take half a step back.

The wind sounded behind him, and Qin Beiyang turned around and dodged a seven-foot spear. Honda's antlers are full of Kuroito Waimaru, like a black elk in armor. Before the second shot stabbed, the Tang knife had already slashed the jet-black tendon pocket, one side of the antler was severed, and the ghost mask was shattered in half, revealing a faceless armor that did not exist.

Sanada Yukimura, Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin, and Date Masamune, who dominated the Warring States, have surrounded Qin Beiyang.

Qin Beiyang only has a three-foot Tang knife, and in the face of four sharp knives, he has to protect a trembling little girl, which is in danger.

The girl in red hugged Qin Beiyang's thighs, tears and snot flowed down his pants. Qin Beiyang roared angrily, bluffing purely for the sake of courage.

Qin Beiyang briefly closed his eyes, as if he had come to Yanliu Island in the Guanmen Strait four hundred years ago.

And there are six Kojiro Sasaki on the opposite side of him!

Uesugi Kenshin's enchanting blade struck, and Qin Beiyang held it flat above his head with a Tang knife. The sparks splashed everywhere, and under the force of a thousand jun, his feet were almost pressed into the snow and mud.

Date Masamune, who had no one-eyed dragon and no face, slashed at Qin Beiyang's neck from the oblique thorn......

Suddenly, a ball of fire flew over the snowy night of Sagano.

On a snowy night in Kyoto, the green fireball attracted the attention of all the armor, although they had no eyes, they raised their helmets to look at this glass-colored fire, as if there were more than a hundred pounds of soul, supporting this steel tendon and armor.

The nine colors have been transformed, turning into a young Qilin Town Tomb Beast, with snow-white antlers on its head, and shining armor all over its body, as if it was covered with a layer of natural armor.

During the day at Lishan Temple, Haneda Taiki was attacked by assassins, and it was completely powerless, unable to spit out green glass fireballs, and could not become a young Kirin Town Tomb Beast. Unless the long night comes, or hides in caves and underground palaces, Nine Colors is just a dog.

The glass fireball burned Toyosei Hideyoshi's armor and turned into a raging fire in an instant, like the flames of Oda Nobunaga's Honnoji Temple. The sun-lit armor rolled in the snow, and if it didn't burn anyone, it quickly turned into steel slag and ashes......

Taiko is finished!

"Squay!"

The little girl in red was completely stunned. Qin Beiyang took advantage of the distraction of the Warring States armor, grabbed her arm, rescued her from the Shura Hell covered with blood and stumps, and turned around and ran towards the depths of the dense jungle.

Nine colors followed, and they ran out for a few meters, tripped over the roots and fell to the ground. Qin Beiyang picked up the Tang knife with one hand and grabbed the little girl with the other. Looking back at the snow in Sagano, the remaining five armor bodies all stood obediently in place, as if they were frozen by the point, or they had lost their souls again.

A group of Japanese soldiers in khaki uniforms, wearing large caps, holding Type 38 rifles and bright bayonets, surrounded five bodies of stationary armor.

An officer in a tan tweed uniform, with a saber at his waist and riding boots stepping through the snow, kicked Professor Yamamoto in the head. He cautiously approached Takeda Shingen's Suwa Dharma Armor and boldly touched the bear hair on the top of the armor.

Qin Beiyang was still lurking in the woods, the lights were on, and a familiar face jumped out among the Japanese soldiers.

Far mountains?

He almost shouted out the three words "Qi Yuanshan", how could he become a Japanese soldier? It's not bad at all, it's his face, it's just that he has changed from the blue military uniform of the North Ocean to the yellow military uniform of Japan, and the five-color flag Venus on the big cap has become a simple five-pointed star. Qi Yuanshan's stature is still the tallest among these Japanese soldiers, standing out from the crowd, but he is the last to accompany him.

However, where did Taiki Haneda go?

The Japanese officer turned his head abruptly, feeling the smell of the little girl blowing in the wind. He drew his saber and gave the order for a full-fledged search, not sparing any suspicious objects. Soldiers with bayonets in their hands poked into the dark forest one by one......
