Chapter (74): The Japanese military base at the Guanyin Temple
First, the lone wolf said excitedly: "Sure enough, as Brother Qingfeng expected, on the slope of the mountain side corresponding to the Hades' nose on the west side, we found a long, slightly low-lying ravine. We took a closer look at this slightly low-lying ravine and found that it was about 30 meters long and about 3 meters wide, very similar to the tomb path of the common Han Dynasty cliff tombs. However, this ravine, which is suspected to be a cemetery, does not seem to have been artificially treated like ordinary tombs. Not only is its low-lying degree and the surrounding edge extremely inconspicuous, but it is almost impossible to see that this is the outline of a tomb road without a deliberate search. Moreover, the surface of this ravine seems to have been artificially filled with some large pieces of bluestone, which makes people look no different from the large bluestones in other places on the surface. But I am sure that this was deliberately sealed by some people with ulterior motives in modern times, because I specifically 'studied' a few of the gaps, and found that these large pieces of flake bluestone actually seemed to have been specially cut by machinery, and their thickness was about twenty centimeters. In addition, near the ravine of this suspected tomb road, we did not find any traces of robbery. ”
Laughing Maitreya said: "The situation that my second brother and I inspected in the other old cypress tree, is just as Hou Ye said, there must be a big hollow part of this big tree. Especially in the shade of the lower half of the tree, we also found that not only most of the bark was very cracked, but even the trunk inside did not seem to have the slightest moisture, giving people the feeling that the old cypress tree had died a long time ago. However, there is a clear difference between the sunny side of the tree, as if the entire lush canopy above is nourished and nourished from the tree on that side. In addition, the second brother said that it was in the shade of the big tree, and he seemed to smell the strange smell of the hospital's chemical reagents. But the smell is extremely faint, and if you don't deliberately identify it carefully, you can't smell it at all. Indeed, I also tried to sniff hard at the time, but I didn't find anything at all, and thanks to the second brother's magical sensitive sense of smell, otherwise I really couldn't have found it. ”
Mengshan Turtle said: "We didn't make any big discoveries on it, but the old brother kept muttering that it was the location of the branches on the six old cypress trees, and it seemed that someone or something had stayed for a long time." However, we carefully inspected it with a telescope, and did not find any kind of wireless remote control camera or other equipment on it, let alone any dark whistle observation port. ”
After listening to the explanations of the three of them, Xiao Qingfeng frowned, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "In any case, I still have some doubts about the smooth and steep slope where the nose of the Hades is located, and I personally still feel that there must be something unknown under it. But I thought about it for a long time, and in the local chronicles and folk notes I had read before, I didn't remember any records of Han Dynasty cliff tombs in Guanyin Mountain. And, as Ah Lang said, according to the normal theory of Feng Shui, it is indeed not suitable for digging large cliff tombs. If there is really some mystery under that steep slope, or if there is no cave, then it is definitely not a normal existence. ”
When the prodigal son heard Xiao Qingfeng say this, he was about to stand up and speak, but was stopped by Xiao Qingfeng with gestures. I only heard Xiao Qingfeng continue to say solemnly: "In this way, in view of these special places that currently exist in the nose of this Hades, I have decided to continue to delve into it. Since there are no other discoveries in the daytime, I plan to come back tonight and do a serious search, and if there are still no major discoveries, forget it. Now let's go back and have a good rest, and still gather at my place for dinner at seven o'clock in the evening, let's set off at half past ten, and climb to the top at twelve o'clock to prepare for the second visit to the nose of the king of Hades. ”
After a slight pause, Xiao Qingfeng continued to say: "Brother Wolf, after you go back, you will immediately report and contact your superiors, and ask them to use your special system to inquire about this Guanyin Mountain and its surroundings, whether there have been any special incidents in the past hundred years in modern times. In addition, I would like to ask if there have been any suspicious phenomena in the vicinity of Mount Kannon recently. And for tonight's action, make an application in your system for the record, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts with the police or other systems when we act. Doll, after you go back, pack up your set of radio jamming equipment that you developed when you were in college, and bring it over at night, and you may need to use your precious equipment at night. Second brother dumb, you and Xiao Maitreya, bring the complete set of Luoyang shovel and metal detector equipment that we stored in you after we collected it halfway, maybe we will also have a mock tomb robbery tonight. In addition, Meditation Girl, you should bring some flying needles quenched with strong anesthetics tonight, in case of special circumstances. The others also brought their own equipment and weapons, and after Brother Wolf reported the application, we will explore Hades' nose twice as planned. ”
After Xiao Qingfeng finished speaking, everyone had no other opinions, and unanimously expressed their determination to implement his plan. Subsequently, everyone drank beautifully, and after discussing some details of the night's actions, they rode away.
Before six o'clock in the afternoon, the lone wolf and Jingxin rushed to Xiao Qingfeng's house in advance. After entering the door, the lone wolf said a simple hello to Xiao Qingfeng's lover, asked Jingxin to accompany her to wash vegetables and prepare dinner below, and then quickly pulled Xiao Qingfeng up to the tea room on the second floor.
The two had just sat down, and before they had time to pour tea and drink tea, after the lone wolf closed the door, he whispered excitedly: "Brother Qingfeng, when my brother really obeys you this time." After I went back, I immediately reported and applied to my superiors, and the above replied to me in less than four points. Guess what the information from above is, but you didn't expect that as your brother said, there is really a major secret under the nose of this Hades, and it is even related to a major international case that has been painstakingly tracked for many years. It's just that there is no definite evidence and a corresponding complete chain of evidence yet, so even the current YZ City Bureau has not received the relevant investigation notice. ”
Xiao Qingfeng smiled slightly after hearing this, handed over a cup of Pu'er strong tea, and said lightly: "Don't worry, big brother, first drink a cup of Pu'er from Xishuangbanna that I just brewed again, and then tell it slowly and calmly, anyway, it will take a while for all of them to arrive." ”
The lone wolf smelled the rich aroma of Pu'er tea, took two sips, and continued to say with some excitement: "It turns out that the origin of the name of this Hades' nose is not too long, and it was only called from the period of the Boxer Rebellion, so it is no wonder that there is no record in the earlier local chronicles and folk notes. In the secret archives of our system, there is really a record of the origin of this strange name, saying that in this Guanyin Mountain, in the U-shaped mountain valley above the Guanyin Temple in the back mountain, a small detachment of the Eight-Nation Alliance, mainly Japanese soldiers, had a small-scale tragic battle with the local Boxers. It is said that at the beginning, the Japanese soldier squad was lured to the mountain valley in the back mountain by a small group of wandering Boxer boxers, and then a large number of boxers blocked the north exit of the mountain from the outside, and at the same time, boxers who had been ambushed in advance also emerged on the top of the mountain on three sides, and the Japanese soldier squad was firmly besieged. After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the extremely poorly equipped boxers finally almost completely annihilated the Japanese squad of about 20 people, and won a rare ambush victory, which greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the bandit invaders. However, due to the disparity in weapons between the two sides, a few Japanese soldiers still escaped from the encirclement with quick guns and horses. Afterwards, in order to retaliate, the Japanese soldiers at that time vigorously searched and surrounded the Boxer team that flowed to no avail, and the angry Japanese soldiers actually escorted all the hardcover men from several nearby villages to the place where the Yama King is at his nose today. Then they were killed by indiscriminate gunfire, and then, as they could get their fill, they slaughtered the old, weak, women and children in several nearby villages. It is said that the frenzied Japanese soldiers slaughtered almost all the nearby villages at that time, and this massacre slope was called Hades Nose by the surviving people at that time, which means to commemorate the bloody massacre. As for the current villagers, they have all migrated from other places many years after the tragedy of that year, and the original survivors have long since died slowly. In addition, the local government, which was extremely chaotic at that time, was unwilling to record that humiliating past, so many people now are naturally unaware of that historical past. This is why today's locals only know that this place has such an ugly name as Hades' nose, but they don't know the historical reason for the true origin of this name. ”
Xiao Qingfeng said: "Brother Wolf, what you just said can only roughly explain the origin of the name Hades' nose. But it still hasn't been touched, this place is now strange, I guess there must be some other hidden historical past behind this, right?"
Lone Wolf said: "Yes, what I said just now is only the origin of the name Hades' nose, and what I will talk about below is what we are really focusing on today." According to relevant secret records, during the later Japanese invasion of China, a special secret force was stationed on this Guanyin Mountain. Before this secret force was stationed, for unknown reasons, it once again carried out a large-scale expulsion of the villagers near Guanyin Mountain, forming a small-scale vacuum and no man's land near Guanyin Mountain. There was no large-scale massacre of the village, but only a forced eviction of all the villages, and then the burning of all the houses in the vicinity. And the small number of Japanese secret troops stationed in the Japanese army continued to live here until after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and mysteriously disappeared from people's field of vision. During this period of seven or eight years, this mysterious small Japanese army did not even have any contact with the surrounding anti-Japanese forces, let alone any battles. Therefore, until the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, no one really understood what the secret purpose of the Japanese army was here, and what it had done here. It is said that not only did our party's secret workers not get any valuable clues, but even the Kuomintang military commanders at that time failed to really find out the real purpose of the Japanese army's secret troops stationed here. ”
