Chapter 43: Recognition (1)
1937, August midsummer, Bailuyuan.
Outside the tomb of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, the seventeen-year-old girl Jiuse, who was as excited as a tired bird returning to the nest, pulled out the three-foot Tang knife behind her back.
Ye Kenan, who was over fifty years old, stepped on the wilderness under the starry sky, and was well-informed in the end, although it was the middle of the night, he saw the army's tents and bonfires at a glance.
Behind them was a black monster with snow-white antlers growing out of its head, and a pair of glass-colored eyes blinking, it was the nine-colored tomb beast.
There is also a third person, she is a banshee, lurking in the depths of the weeds of the White Deer Plain......
The night sky was filled with the sound of deafening music. On this vast ancient loess plateau, among the dry bones and souls of many emperors and generals, strings, clarinets and loud horns are like bullets drilling into the eardrums. In an instant, the ancient White Deer was turned into a memorial site for the Weimar Republic and a condolence stand for Vienna and Dresden.
"Beethoven!"
The girl Qin Jiuse's eyes widened and she looked back at Ye Kenan. When she lived in Shanghai as a child, Jiuse studied piano, and her mother collected a lot of records for her, most of which were Beethoven and Bach. She listened with her ears pricked up, and was surprised that the symphony fluttering on the White Deer Plain was not the "Symphony of Destiny"?
Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 in C minor......
This night, every note was like the knock of fate, hitting the door of Qin Jiuse and Ye Kenan's hearts. In the second movement, fate reveals its murderous face, destroying the body and soul endlessly, making people frightened, wandering, dejected, and doubting themselves......
Qin Jiuse was suddenly stunned. The big monster Nine Colors instantly quieted down, changed from a tiger to a kitten, lying on the ground meekly, with its mouth against the back of the little girl, with a sultry posture, like a snake cat. They crawled forward in the weeds, and saw dozens of big trumpets around the tomb of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, resounding the "Symphony of Destiny", which was like the blowing and beating of the red and white ceremonies of the peasants.
The moonlight came out. At the top of the Tang Dynasty tomb, like the peak of a small hill, stood a man.
He descended like the god of war, and reincarnated like the god of death. The whole body is covered in black metal reflections, as if it has just been fished out of the oil pan, and it is filled with hot steam. There was a piece of Hetian warm blood jade hanging on his chest. A golden dagger pinned to his waist had been handed down from the Assassin Alliance's grandfather. His black suit was stained with sporadic blood. His feet were piled with bones, like the 203 heights of Arthur Pass, the chopping board of Verdun, and the trenches of the Gallipoli Peninsula......
He's a man and a beast, and he's a humanoid tomb beast.
Under the background of the surrounding bonfires, Qin Jiuse recognized his (its) face - Qin Beiyang.
Qin Beiyang, the tomb beast, broke out of its cocoon after being closed in the underground palace for four years and five months.
Ye Kenan looked up at the top of the tomb, the little boy he saved with his own hands and sent to the underground palace nearly thirty years ago has now become a tomb beast.
The big monster Nine Colors recognized the former owner and had become his own kind. The huge grave beast wanted to let out a lion-like roar, but could only cry out a cat's wail.
Qin Jiuse, who has practiced "Qin's Tomb Craftsman's Guide" and "Underground Palace Dao", understands that the only flaw of the tomb beast is that it will be restrained by music, which is the answer to why Beethoven came to Bailuyuan.
An hour ago, Qin Beiyang, the tomb beast, slaughtered the Tang Dynasty Necropolis Palace. The Living Tomb Beasts went on a killing spree, executing all living humans and helping them enter the Six Realms of Reincarnation.
In a hurry, Qi Yuanshan remembered the only weakness of the tomb beast - music.
Half a year ago, he came to Guanzhong to be a prince, and carried a gramophone with the army, including several records that Ouyang Anna liked, especially Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny". While he ordered his soldiers to make a decisive charge against Qin Beiyang, and even used grenades against him, of course, it was in vain. At the same time, he ordered someone to turn on the diesel generator, quickly install a gramophone and dozens of loudspeakers, and let the entire Bailuyuan resound with the roar of the symphony.
He did it. Qin Beiyang, the living tomb beast, was shocked by the sound of music, and froze on the top of the little prince's tomb, almost unable to move. Qi Yuanshan ordered not to harm Qin Beiyang, and the soldiers could besiege the Tang Dynasty tomb. He himself led the surviving guards and re-entered the tomb.
Qin Beiyang stood on the top of the White Deer Plain. The only thorns and chains that could bind him were Beethoven, a symphony of awe-inspiring music.
Friedrich Engels said: "If you have not heard this magnificent work, you can say that you have never heard anything in your life." ”
The third movement of the Symphony of Destiny is sounded by the loudspeaker. The eruption of the Destiny Volcano, the magma spreads everywhere, the volcanic ash is overwhelming, dominating everything in the world, and the mushroom cloud stands proudly in the east eight years later......
This is the fate of Beethoven, the fate of Germany, and the fate of Matthias Qin Beiyang.
Suddenly, the music stopped.
It was as if someone pressed the mute button in the night sky, and the world of Bailuyuan became silent. Qin Jiuse and Ye Kenan crawled to the gramophone, cut off the power cord and diesel generator, and more than a dozen loudspeakers instantly became dumb.
Beethoven's soul dissipated, and the orchestra went up in smoke. The shackles that had firmly bound the tomb beast were broken and shattered in an instant. Qin Beiyang slowly opened his eyes, he had just experienced a long sleep, followed by a short rest, and saw the starry sky in midsummer after five years of absence, the vicissitudes of the fields of Bailuyuan, and the ancient land of China.
The Living Town Grave Beast has woken up.
Qin Beiyang raised his legs, like black lightning, and jumped from the top of the tomb in the sea of corpses and blood. There was also a group of soldiers around him, shooting in vain. The living tomb beasts regarded them as tomb robbers who had invaded the tomb of the little prince of the Tang Dynasty, and they were torn to pieces in an instant.
The rest of the birds and beasts scattered in an instant, and disappeared into the dark night of Bailuyuan. They were nothing more than the vanguard of Qi Yuanshan. The real thousands of troops and horses are still stationed outside the city of Xi'an, ready to start the Eastern Crusade early tomorrow morning.
The Tomb Beast in the moonlight is searching for all living things to kill. He destroyed all the trumpets, and it was these twentieth-century civilizations that trapped him.
He rushed in front of Qin Jiuse and Ye Kenan, and raised his steel arms to smash their skulls. The seventeen-year-old girl held the Tang knife and could neither fight back nor dodge. At the last moment, a black monster was born, rapidly growing snow-white antlers, like dozens of swords blocking Qin Beiyang's blow.
The collision of metal and metal, the gladiatorial battle between the tomb beast and the tomb beast, the co-workers are angry and shocking.
However, the tomb beast Nine Colors slowly retracted its antlers, revealing its black head and red mane, and sat and crawled in front of Qin Beiyang, just waiting to be smashed by his iron fist......
The living tomb beast was stunned for a moment, and its fierce arms stayed in mid-air, as if it was about to pluck the stars in the sky.
He saw the antlers monster's glittering glass-colored gaze, and two lines of crystal clear liquid slipped from the corners of his eyes, which were quickly evaporated into sizzling water vapor by the hot steel shell.
Tears of the Grave Beast.
