Chapter 63: The Cliff of Sacrifice

In the middle of the night, Dharma Mountain, the moon is in the sky.

A raging fire burned on the cliff, and on the gravel beach below the cliff, two teams of men and horses each faced off with pistols.

"Impermanence!" Ouyang Anna frowned, "Who set the fire?" ”

The raging firefights that were about to break out on the beach were extinguished by the fires on the cliffs. Everyone put away their guns for the time being.

Haneda Taiki ordered the two entourages to be restless, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in fluent Chinese: "Everyone! We must have had a misunderstanding. Miss Anna, as soon as I returned to Japan, I received a telegram from the Ministry of Industry of the Shanghai Public Concession, telling me the bad news of Mr. Ouyang and asking me to return to Shanghai to cooperate with the investigation. Without a moment's delay, I immediately boarded the Haneda family's ship and set sail from Kobe to China. ”

Anna shook her head and said, "Why did my father die, and you all came to the island to find the treasure!" ”

"Ten years ago, my grandfather escorted Gengzi to pay 1 million taels of silver from Shanghai to Kobe, and the ship disappeared halfway down the road, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Bodhidharma Mountain is located on the Sino-Japanese route, and I wanted to visit the island to check it out and inquire about my grandfather's news. Haneda Taiki glanced back at the dark sea, "Or die in this reef?" ”

Ye Kenan looked up at the fire on the cliff and said, "I'm afraid someone has already taken the lead!" ”

"Assassin!" Qi Yuanshan couldn't help but shout, "The Peruvian steamer that sank just now was carrying the assassins of the Hongkou Patrol House Massacre, as well as this tomb robber Xiaomu. ”

"They're on the island?" For Ouyang Anna, those people were the enemies of her father's killer, "Haneda, how do you prove that you are not in the same group as those assassins?" ”

Speaking of this, Haneda Taishu was speechless, took a step back and said: "There is a cloud in Confucius's "Analects": the gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative. I see that there are many unfamiliar faces of you, why don't you introduce each other to each other? ”

Qi Yuanshan nodded yes and introduced himself first. He also recounted how he infiltrated the Peruvian ship, discovered the Assassin's hideout, and how he was locked up in the cabin of the ship, and came to Moshan in a daze, crashed into a shipwreck, and escaped death......

"Is the legendary Dragon of the East China Sea real?"

Haneda Taiki's eyes widened, Qi Yuanshan couldn't explain these problems, he pulled Xiao Mu over and said, "This is a tomb robber, a prisoner who was abducted in the Hongkou Patrol House Massacre. ”

Ye Kenan showed the documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Beiyang Government and the Beijing Police Department, and also said a few words of Japanese to Haneda Taiki. Beijing's Higher Patrol Police Academy,Built according to the Japanese system.,So Ye Kenan can also speak Japanese.。。

Ouyang Anna, as the host, was silent, but the fourteen-year-old Ah You saluted everyone and claimed to be Qin Beiyang's sister. This reminded Qi Yuanshan: "Since Ah You is also there, what about Qin Beiyang?" ”

"He's just gone."

Tonight, Anna couldn't sleep anyway. Ah You, who was in the same room, opened the window and found a fire on the sea. Ouyang Anna, who grew up in Dharma Mountain, knew that it was a shipwreck, and that the boilers of some ships would explode before they sank. Ye Kenan also rushed out, but he didn't see Qin Beiyang, and the nine colors were gone.

After a lifetime of robbery, Anna decided to go to sea to save people. They found a small boat and were about to push towards the beach, but they ran into Taiki Haneda and others, who had landed on the island.

"Perhaps, he's up there."

Ye Kenan pointed to the cliff in the fire. Qi Yuanshan responded: "Let's go up and have a look?" ”

"Do you want to go with the Japanese?"

Ouyang Anna still doesn't trust Haneda Taiki, especially his two bodyguards.

"Calm down!" Ye Kenan lowered his head and whispered to her, "Instead of fighting here, the fish are dead and the net is broken, and both sides are defeated, it is better to go up the mountain and have a look." ”

Everyone had no objections, and Qi Yuanshan also dragged Xiao Mu and walked to Ouyang Anna's side. And she looked at the grave robber with disgust, as if he had her father's blood on him.

Eight people climbed up the cliff, and the impermanence hermitage had been burned to ashes, leaving only the charred and blackened ruins, and the beams and wooden pillars of the house that had not yet disappeared, like rotten bones broken and scattered, Anna looked distressed.

However, there were three more people on top of the cliff.

A few lanterns were raised to shine, and the moonlight was bright, and I saw that the leader was twenty-six or seventeen years old, dressed in a scholar's robe, and there was a centipede-like scar on the right side of his face.

Anna and Qi Yuanshan were both stunned, and Xiao Mu blurted out: "Ah Hai? ”

In an instant, Ye Kenan quietly pulled out his pistol, and he also recognized the face.

Ah Hai's left and right, the two assassins are separated.

The figure on the left is burly, like a stone wall, and in fact, the face is also very young. The one on the right is thin, but he wears a ghost mask, a grimace with a green face and fangs, like an ancient god, a demon crawling out of the ground.

Just as Ye Ke was shooting, the scar-faced assassin Ah Hai flew up and kicked out a stone, just smashing a horse lantern. Within seconds, all three lights on the cliff were smashed. The assassin only has a dagger, and he will inevitably suffer in the face of the pistol, and only when he is dragged into the darkness and the pistol falls into the hands of the blind, it will be useless.

Gunshots rang out.

On the dark cliff of the sacrifice, the full moonlight illuminated a chaotic and blurred figure. Bullets flew past the ears, accompanied by the curses of men, the screams of women, and the splash of blood from slitted throats.

Anna couldn't see anything clearly, hiding in the ruins of the Impermanence Nunnery, stepping on the charcoal left over from the burning, and the soles of her feet were almost burned. She thought to herself, these 800-year-old buildings were burned by this group of assassins, right?

Ten minutes later, the cliff gradually calmed down, and the waves crashed a hundred feet below, and the sea breeze smelled of blood.

Qi Yuanshan lit a fire in the ruins of the nunnery, anyway, it had been burned like this, what if it was burned again.

He saw a corpse lying on the ground, and Haneda Taiki's North Korean bodyguard had been cut by a sharp blade, and blood was flowing down the cliff. There is also a Taiwanese bodyguard, who has disappeared without a trace. I heard a scream just now, and then the Taiwanese "fuck your mother", as if they had fallen off the cliff and were shattered.

The three assassins opposite, the burly and tall one, with blood gushing from their shoulders, had obviously been shot.

But the most worrying thing is that the scar-faced Ah Hai hooked Ah Yu with the crook of his arm, and the dagger was against her neck.

"No one is allowed to move! Don't shoot! Otherwise......"

"Let her go! Ouyang Anna stood up with her bare hands, and the sea breeze blew her curled Qi bangs. On both nights, she slept with Ah You, listening to the 14-year-old girl talk about the tragic experience, the great famine of "cannibalism" in her childhood hometown, which almost became the funeral object of the Guangxu Emperor, and the strange story of wandering in the land of China. Anna also talked about the novelties she saw in the church school, the boring life of the ladies on the beach, and the spread of her Catholic teachings and Bible stories. The two of them simply hated each other and became good sisters who talked about everything.

"Sister, leave me alone! Kill these wicked people! ”

No one could have expected that this little girl was so fierce that she was almost about to rub her neck against the dagger. Anna looked at Ah Yu in the moonlight, and remembered the legend of the witch on the cliff.

However, Ye Kenan decided to compromise for the sake of Ah You's life. He raised his pistol above his head and got out of the way.

On the cliff of the night, if you want to kill the other party with one shot, I am afraid that you are only less than 30% sure. There are still two people on the other side, and they can still launch a counterattack. And Haneda Taiki's two bodyguards, each with a pistol, were still easily killed by them.

"I promise that as soon as I get on the boat and leave Mount Dharma, I will let her go."

The Scarface Assassin continued to kidnap Ah You, and the Assassin wearing the ghost mask supported his injured companion and headed for the bottom of the cliff.

Qi Yuanshan still wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Ye Kenan: "Poor Kou Mo chase." ”

Seeing that the enemy who killed her father was far away, Ouyang Anna picked up two stones: "Damn detective!" How can you let Ah Yu be taken away by them? ”
