Chapter 22: The Restoration of the Dragon Banner

Qin Beiyang fired two shots indiscriminately, and there was a sudden burst of gunfire in front of the mausoleum. Qin Customs and Qi Yuanshan lay on the ground, watching the tent being beaten into a sieve.

Lao Qin woke up completely from a hangover, the other party was outnumbered, and there was no chance of resisting, so he used the tip of his gun to pick up the white clothes and waved it to surrender.

All three of them were tied up with flowers. The little wolf was no longer small, and when it saw that its master was caught, it immediately rushed up and desperately bit an officer's thigh, and actually tore off a large piece of meat. Just as it was about to bite off the other party's throat, the pigtail army plunged a bayonet into the wolf's neck, and the little wolf splattered five steps of blood on the spot. Qin Beiyang shouted hoarsely, pitiful little wolf who was raised by himself, he simply regarded it as his own child. The soldier slammed Qin Beiyang's head with the butt of his gun, causing blood to flow from his forehead. Lao Qin lay on his son's stomach and endured the rest of the ordeal in his place.

The Braided Army claimed to be Zhang Xun's subordinates and was ordered to destroy Yuan Shikai's mausoleum. A year ago, Lao Yuan was the emperor for eighty-three days, was opposed by the military and the people of the whole country and the Japanese, the world was surging, the situation was irreparable, and he was forced to cancel the imperial system and restore the Republic of China. ”

The leading officer also said that Yuan Shikai bullied orphans and widows and forced the Empress Dowager Longyu to send down the Qing Emperor's abdication edict, which was really a heinous rebellious minister and thief. Dozens of soldiers went in to sweep the underground palace, and the Qin father and son were silent. A moment later, a man rushed out, but there was no head, only a body with hands fluttering, and blood spurting out of his cavity. The next to escape from the tomb were all headless warriors, dancing and falling to the ground, convulsing for a few minutes before ceaseing to move. Only one survivor, a short, three-inch nailed man, shouted incoherently, "Toad...... Toad...... Toad ......"'

The officer was furious, "What bullshit toad! ”

Looking at the headless corpses all over the ground, Lao Qin couldn't stand it, and said, "I advise you not to go in!" ”

The officer slapped him instead: "What kind of mechanism are you hiding in it?" ”

Seeing his father being beaten, Qin Beiyang was anxious: "It's okay, there's a monster inside." ”

In fact, he wanted this officer to go in and die.

The officer drew his shell gun and rushed in with dozens of soldiers, but this time he was on guard, all of them were loaded with bullets and bright bayonets. It didn't take long for the graveyard to hear fierce gunfire, as if it were an encounter. The officers escaped by chance, and the remaining soldiers were also missing arms and legs, and the screams of ghosts and wolves made people feel different.

People said with trepidation: "It turned out to be a big toad that eats people!" One jump three feet high! ”

Qin Beiyang knew very well that the bounce power of the Golden Toad Town Tomb Beast was amazing, just like a real toad, it could easily dodge the attack. And its flying scissors tongue can break more than a dozen necks in an instant.

The officer was not a vegetarian either, so he quickly dispatched his troops, and again sent more than 100 soldiers, armed with a Gatling machine gun and dozens of grenades, into the cemetery. Qi Yuanshan was born in a family of Xingwu, and knew that these weapons were powerful, so he shook his head and motioned for Qin Beiyang to stop talking.

Sure enough, there were several loud noises from the depths of the dungeon, and the machine guns were like firecrackers with four hundred rings, which finally calmed everything.

The tomb beast of Golden Toad Town was captured by the army, its tongue of death had been blown off, and it was covered in bullet marks, and it was bound by iron chains and transported out of the tomb tunnel, exposed to the sun.

Qin Hai was very concerned and painful, once he left the dungeon environment, the power of the tomb beast would disappear and become a bronze stone pimple.

Braided military feces and urine filled the golden well, destroying the feng shui of Yuan Shikai's mausoleum, and ensuring that the Qing Dynasty would not change. In the end, explosives were planted, and the explosion destroyed the tomb of Emperor Hongxian - the mountain shook, the sand and rocks were flying, and the mountain stream was blocked by rocks. Fortunately, the secret of the spirit stone hidden under the big rock has not been discovered.

Two years later, Yuan Shikai was buried in Anyang, Henan. The Beiyang government held a funeral in accordance with the etiquette of the president of the Republic of China, and the mausoleum is still intact. As for the depths of Taihang Mountain, the imperial tomb of Emperor Hongxian has been forgotten by the vast majority of people.

To get back to the point, Qin Customs, Qin Beiyang, and Qi Yuanshan were sent to war horses and tied up and escorted down the mountain. The tomb beast of Jincian Town was also transported back to Beijing together.

Two days later, passing through the city tower of Zhengyangmen, I saw the Yellow Dragon Flag hanging, and many people along the street were wearing fake braids. Two months ago, President Li Yuanhong and Premier Duan Qirui were in a stalemate over whether China would participate in the world war, which was the first "government-court dispute". Zhang Xun, the overseer of Anhui, led 5,000 pigtailed troops into Beijing, dissolved the National Assembly, supported Pu Yi to regain the emperor's throne, and restored the Qing Empire. The old and the young are left behind, the crown is celebrated, and the dragon flag is raised again, like a zombie crawling out of a coffin.

Qin Beiyang was tied to the horse and spat out. The 500 yuan of the Qin Customs had already been confiscated, and the daydream of buying a house in Beijing was finally shattered.

In July, the summer in Beijing is scorching. Qin's father and son were imprisoned together with Qi Yuanshan. As soon as the three of them came down from the cool Taihang Mountain, they were locked in a cramped, airtight cell, as difficult as in a steamer.

"It's still comfortable in the dungeon!" Qin Beiyang couldn't sit still, huddled in the corner and sighed, "Daddy, you see that braided army destroyed Yuan Shikai's mausoleum. With the change of dynasties in history, will the new dynasty dig up the tombs of the old dynasties? ”

Lao Qin frowned and said, "Generally speaking, no." However, Li Zicheng dug up the ancestral tomb of the Ming Dynasty in Fengyang, Anhui Province, and Emperor Chongzhen dug up Li Zicheng's ancestral tomb, and in the end both sides were finished. ”

"There is also the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, my father said, it is said that the feng shui of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral tomb is excellent, and the Qing court sent people to dig it twice, crushing the bones and scattering ashes, and finally pacified the long hair." Qi Yuanshan spoke while catching fleas in the cell.

"It has reached the world of digging each other's ancestral graves, and it seems that the mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty will not last long."

Qi Yuanshan asked, "Isn't there a tomb beast?" ”

"Tomb Suppression Beast, it's no problem to guard against the crooked ways of ancient demons and tomb robbers, but how can you stop today's bullets, Maxim machine guns and black explosives!"

Qin Beiyang told the truth. Suddenly, Lao Qin's complexion changed, his heart was crining, and he almost fainted. The son hugged him, only to see Qin Customs's forehead, rolling down beads of sweat, after all, he was fifty-seven years old, and according to the old saying, he had buried his neck in loess. Qi Yuanshan pinched the old Qin people hard, so that he could ease his spirits a little.

"Beiyang...... Do you remember, Daddy told you that our Qin family is born to be short-lived ghosts. ”

"No, now there are Western doctors, you can give injections and take medicine, out of this hellish place, I will take you to see a doctor."

Qin Customs said with a strong spirit: "Since the Ming Dynasty, usually we can only make one tomb beast per generation. First, because our work is related to the life of the emperor, unless there are short-lived emperors in succession. If you meet long-lived emperors such as Kangxi and Qianlong, I am afraid that you will have to count two generations. Second, every time you make a tomb beast, it takes a lot of energy, you see I taught you to manipulate the tomb beast in the dungeon, which is to advance the vitality of the next few decades. What's more, the spirit stone is powerful, and anyone who approaches the spirit stone will lose their lifespan. If you are a frail and sickly person, I am afraid that you will die quickly. ”
