Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Nine Colors of Lugou (2)
The monster is coming.
Its neck and back are covered with a red mane, like a raging flame. Its body and chest are covered with black scale armor. Despite its Leviathan appearance, it has upright limbs. Qin Jiuse remembered the Hollywood movie "King Kong" he had just watched in the theater in Beiping City. Unlike the gorilla, the monster's thick arms end in predatorial claws, and the two elephant-like legs are underneath the hooves of herbivores. It emitted a fiery stream of heat all over its body, and the pungent stench of rotting corpses seemed to make people blind at a glance, and they would be poisoned to death if they breathed a lot.
Although the size was several times larger, Ye Kenan felt that it was a little familiar—just like the first time he saw Qin Jiuse, he remembered the little girl who peed on him under the Baqiao willow outside Xi'an City sixteen years ago.
It is nine colors.
The nine colors of Qin Beiyang, in the palace of the Tang Dynasty cemetery in Bailuyuan, accompanied by the little prince Li Longqi for 1,200 years, the small town tomb beast.
Five years ago, during the "128 Incident" in Shanghai, the Mozhi Tiangong Factory in Lujiazui, Pudong, was reduced to ashes under the bombs of Japanese bombers. Jiuse, who was doing the operation to remove the spirit stone in the factory laboratory, was also blown to pieces. It is like a phoenix, reborn from the ruins of an unspeakable monster. The explosion allowed toxic chemicals to leak and allowed it to devour more spirit stones. It no longer recognizes itself, or even its owner, Qin Beiyang. It dives into the boiling Huangpu River and disappears.
It began to wander the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas of China, from the mouth of the Yangtze River to Hainan Island, and crossed thousands of rivers and mountains to the source of the Yangtze River on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It crossed the Yellow River, Yinshan Mountain and the Great Khing'an Mountains, and wanted to go to Changbai Mountain to find traces of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty - it is said that the coffin of Li Longqi, the king of Zhongnan County, was hidden by Ah Hai. But when it killed hundreds of Japanese and puppet Manchukuo soldiers, climbed to the top of Changbai Mountain at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, and burrowed into the frozen Tianchi, it found that the coffin of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty had been transferred.
It angrily attacks power plants and chemical plants, feasting on chemical raw materials and toxic substances. But in China's vast interior, there is no trace of modern civilization. It can only dig open ancient tombs, devour coffins and corpses, and breathe the putrid smell of ancient tombs. Not only can it accurately find tombs, but it can also spot tomb beasts that tomb robbers can't explore. Whether it is the monarch of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States or the Earth Emperor of the Sixteen Kingdoms, all kinds of tomb beasts have become its meal--hundreds of spirit stones of different sizes have gathered in the body of the Nine Colors, like a moving nuclear reactor.
"It's nine-colored!"
Qin Jiuse lay on the stone slab of the Lugou Bridge and bit Ye Kenan's ear and said.
"You mean the nine-colored tomb beast in the small town of Qin Beiyang?" Ye Ke couldn't think about how bad luck was this time, "How did it become such a monster?" ”
"Last week, the newspaper said that the Great Wall of Gubeikou had caused a monster, and dozens of ancient tombs had been excavated, which seemed to be beyond the power of man. The newspaper also said that the Yongding River was hot and hot, and there were boiling wonders from time to time. I wonder if the Nine Colors of the Tomb Beast are here? ”
"Nine colors, did you come to Lugou Bridge to find nine colors?"
Ye Kenan's head was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out the beautiful girl "Nine Colors" and the tomb beast "Nine Colors".
"No, I'm here to catch the Nine Colors!"
Qin Jiuse took out a three-foot Tang knife from the long-handled umbrella, and took out a Russian crossbow from the big baggage.
"Isn't this Qin Beiyang's line?"
"Well, my dad passed them on to me."
Qin Jiuse felt a heat in his vest, and a stone lion broke and shattered beside him. When the little girl turned around again, she saw that the monster Nine Colors was already standing in front of her, and the iron claws were like cannonballs attacking her.
Ye Kenan was afraid that Qin Jiuse would be beaten into pulp by Jiuse, but there was a clanging sound in his ears. It turned out that Qin Jiuse raised the Tang knife and forcibly blocked the blow. As usual, people have already been flattened, but the seventeen-year-old girl does not move at all, and her arms seem to contain infinite strength, or has she obtained the true inheritance of her father, borrowing the power of An Lushan lurking in the Tang knife?
Qin Jiuse, a high school girl, turned into a female version of the young Qin Beiyang, shining on the Lugou Bridge on July 7, 1937, which inevitably reminded Ye Ke of Qin Beiyang when he was seventeen years old. She wielded the Tang knife vigorously, and with the strength of the monster nine colors, she rose into the air, and deftly dodged the continuous attacks of the monster nine colors, isn't this the kung fu of the assassin on Taibai Mountain? It is also like the long-lost Hua Tuo's "Five Fowl Opera", which is like the posture of a tiger, a deer, a bear, an ape, and a bird, plus the graceful body of a newly developed girl, which is particularly charming in the night sky illuminated by tracer bullets.
The monster's nine-colored antlers continued to grow, like pervasive vines and thorns, growing savagely towards the sky. Qin Jiuse has jumped to the top end and is falling. Ye Kenan knew that the pistol was useless, so he could only shout to be careful. It was too late, Qin Jiuse's body had been trapped by the fork of the antlers. The more she had to break free, the more difficult it became, and her body hung upside down, looking like she was about to be devoured by the monster.
Seventeen-year-old Qin Jiuse revealed the red antler birthmark on the back of his neck—like a skyrocketing fire, facing the monster's nine-colored eyes downward.
The monster froze. It recognized the pair of birthmarks from Bailuyuan thirty-seven years ago. Qin Jiuse also realized the change in this tomb beast monster, and she hung upside down in the air and shouted, "Nine colors! I'm nine colors too! I am the daughter of Qin Beiyang! ”
She first spoke in Beijing dialect, and then spoke the Chang'an pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty, which is the most understandable human language of Jiuse.
In an instant, the monster's nine-colored gaze softened, just like Qin Jiu's glass-colored eyes.
It looked at this little girl stupidly, just like seeing a pair of seventeen-year-old boys and girls in the private museum of Damo Mountain on the sea twenty years ago in Shanghai Tang - Qin Beiyang, a craftsman from the north, and Ouyang Anna, a girl from the island.
Nine colors let go of nine colors.
The antlers on the top of the head began to shrink, turning from thousands of branches into sticks. Qin Jiuse slowly slipped down and sat right on the back of the monster Jiuse's neck. She grabbed the monster's ears and felt the heat roll all over her body. It was as if a thousand words were whispering in my ears. Ancient words that cannot be understood, through thousands of years, come from the heart of the nine colors.
Suddenly, fierce gunfire erupted in the north of Lugou Bridge. The nine colors on the monster's back, and Ye Kenan on the side of the bridge railing, all saw a few explosions on the Wanping city wall. A dense rain of bullets shot from the direction of Fengtai, and thousands of colorful exercises flew in the dark night, and licked like a tongue of fire like New Year's fireworks.
Ye Ke is ugly and real, this is not a military exercise, but a real war with real swords and guns. In the next second, the Japanese bullets were like knives as dense as spider webs, and they struck at the Lugou Bridge. Ye Kenan subconsciously lay under the railing of the bridge, many stone lions had been broken, and the next round of machine-gun fire was about to beat him into a sieve.
Suddenly, the tomb beast Nine Colors stretched out its front paws, lifted Ye Kenan's whole person up, and placed it lightly on his neck.
Qin Jiuse grabbed Ye Kenan's waist and shouted, "Let's go together!" ”
At the juncture of life and death, the behemoth tomb beast Nine Colors actually accepted the order of the little girl Nine Colors and caught Ye Kenan. Just like an elephant carrying two people, the tomb beast climbed up the west bank of the Yongding River, and the Japanese bullets swept the scales, but it was harder than steel, and the bullet casings were splashed everywhere, as if tickling.
Ye Kenan, who was in his early fifties, rode on the neck of the tomb beast for the first time, and there was a seventeen-year-old girl beside him, and his blood suddenly boiled, as if he had returned to the years when the country was ruined and the family was ruined in the year of Gengzi.
Qin Jiuse commanded the tomb beast Jiuse, passing through the Lugou Bridge and the wilderness on the west bank of the Yongding River, leaving the wolf smoke Beiping and drilling into the towering mountains of western Beijing. This monster carried Ye Kenan and Qin Jiuse and rushed towards Taihang Mountain.
On this night, the Japanese troops stationed in Fengtai wanted to enter Wanping City to search under the pretext that soldiers were missing during military exercises, but the Chinese army refused to break out into the war - known as the "77 Incident" in history, also known as the "Lugou Bridge Incident".
This night witnessed by the stone lions of Lugou Bridge, the nine colors of the tomb beast, the nine colors of the girl, and the famous detective Ye Kenan, detonated a long and bloody war, and it will also be a great wall built Chinese blood, flesh, tears and soul......
