Bones!
They were all densely packed with bones, and the layers were all human bones. Some of the bones looked very thin and weak, and they were obviously children's!
This scene looked absolutely shocking, not much better than the mass burial pits I saw in Helian Qi's tomb.
This house had no windows, and the ventilation was very poor, so when I opened the door, the stench left by the decaying corpses remained even after several decades, which was quite choking. I quickly covered my nose and stepped back. It's not that I'm delicate, but this kind of gas is not good for people to inhale!
These bones were covered with some clothes, basically coarse cloth clothes, which were the most common ordinary slanted-collar coarse cloth clothes in the Republic of China period. There were also bones wearing Zhongshan suits, and bones wearing military uniforms...
Just by looking at these clothes, we can judge that these dead people should have been Chinese when they were alive - Chinese persecuted by Japanese invaders!
The iron evidence of blood and tears is right in front of me!
"Go and have a look at the side!"
After a long silence, I finally said this sentence with some difficulty. In fact, it was not only me, Zhang Bowen and the others had obviously guessed a lot, and their faces were equally livid!
The four of us checked the houses around us separately. Sure enough, the houses were full of corpses, and there were probably no less than thousands of them in total!
Needless to say, the place we are in now is not only a military base of the Japanese army, but also a concentration camp. It was a hell of Shura where the Japanese killed the Chinese people in China during the Anti-Japanese War!
Although it was noon, the sky above the base was a little gloomy. A gust of cold wind blew, making me shiver and feel a chill in my heart.
At this time, a gentle male voice suddenly sounded behind us: "If you don't want to get into trouble, leave here quickly. After three quarters of the hour, this place will start to be uneasy. Staying here will be a life or death!"
This sudden voice scared me, and I subconsciously drew out the Baipi Knife and turned around to look.
Standing behind us was a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe, carrying a terrifyingly long sword on his back. He stood at the door with his hands behind his back and looked at us quietly.
Living person?
I frowned slightly: "Who are you?"
"I am Gu Yinghan. I came here to solve a hidden danger that has been hidden for many years and finally broke out now!"
The Taoist smiled and said: "You should listen to me and leave quickly. This place will become uneasy after 3:30 pm, and living people cannot stay for long. I was just about to leave, but I found that you guys were still lingering here, so I kindly reminded you that if you leave a little later, you may not be able to leave!"
The Taoist's words were abrupt, but I was moved after listening to them - the meaning between the lines was clearly that he came here to solve the problem, and before I entered Luoma Mountain, Shigu Village did invite a Taoist master to rescue the missing villagers before me, but the Taoist never came out after entering Luoma Mountain. The villagers of Shigu Village only thought that the Taoist had an accident, so they issued the task to Tiandao League!
Could it be that the Taoist in front of me is the master that Liu Wen's father invited from the neighboring village?
As soon as this thought came up, it was out of control. In the end, I simply asked about the identity of this Taoist priest named Gu Yinghan.
Gu Yinghan's face changed drastically in an instant, and he looked at me in disbelief: "Are you also here for the missing women in Shigu Village?"
I nodded.
"It seems that it is really fate!"
Gu Yinghan let out a long breath, looked at the time anxiously, and his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly said to us: "This is not a place to talk, you follow me first."
After that, he hurriedly walked out first. Now it was bright and clear, and it was the time when the yang energy between heaven and earth was the most prosperous. Even if this place was full of yin and evil spirits, ghosts could not appear without the Fu Yang Hu Yin Fu drawn by the Heavenly Master. I didn't know what he was afraid of, but I could only follow him when I saw him leave.
During the whole journey, Gu Yinghan did not say a word to us. He hurried down the mountain with a panic-stricken look, just like he was running for his life. We had no choice but to follow him. Finally, when we left the Four Elephants Dangerous Land, Gu Yinghan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He stood outside the Four Elephants Dangerous Land with some fear and looked at the military base in the middle of the cave, and whispered: "It's past the hour of Wei!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fierce aura in the Four Elephants Dangerous Land suddenly became much stronger. A thick fog suddenly emerged from the woods in front of us, with a visibility of less than 50 centimeters, completely sealing off the Four Elephants Dangerous Land. From the thick fog came extremely shrill roars and screams, which sounded extremely creepy!
"This..."
I widened my eyes in disbelief. At this time, the sun had not yet set outside the Four Elephants Dangerous Land, but the wind was howling inside the Four Elephants Dangerous Land. The contrast was really huge!
"Now you know why you can't stay in there after the hour of Wei, right?"
Gu Yinghan glanced at me and said slowly: "This place is unusual, with strong yin and weak yang. After the hour of Wei, the yang energy between heaven and earth can no longer suppress the evil yin here, and the dirty things will come out! When I first came here, I walked into a common sense misunderstanding and was trapped in the woods in front of us. I ran into "ghost walls" everywhere. At that time, I knew that I was unpredictable, so I put a talisman on my chest to suppress the yang energy on my body, held a bark tube in my mouth, buried myself in the soil and breathed through the bark tube. I pretended to be dead for a whole night and finally escaped this disaster. I didn't come out of the soil until the next day. It was safe!"
After listening to what Gu Yinghan said, I was secretly shocked!
The yang energy between heaven and earth at the hour of Wei has not completely dissipated, and these dirty things dare to jump out at this time. I am afraid that it has something to do with this four-elephant evil land. After another thousand or eight hundred years, how many terrible things will be raised? Only then will this place really become a forbidden place for living people. If anyone comes, they will die. Even the Heavenly Master will not be able to escape!
After taking a short breath, I started chatting with Gu Yinghan.
It turned out that he had been tracking the whereabouts of the missing people in Shigu Village during this period. He had been investigating secretly near this dangerous place of the Four Elephants, and he actually found some clues!
When I heard Gu Yinghan say that he had gained something, my eyes lit up immediately: "Can you tell me about it?"
"This probably has to start with the origin of this base."
Gu Yinghan sighed softly: "Do you know a Japanese general named Yoshikawa Sadao?"
Yoshikawa Sadao?
I frowned slightly. I do know this Japanese general. This person was the first Japanese officer to enter China. When the warlord Zhang Zuolin was still in charge of the three northeastern provinces, this person served in the Kwantung Army at that time and was responsible for infiltrating the three northeastern provinces. During the eight-year war of resistance, 80% of the extremely accurate Chinese maps used by the Japanese army were surveyed and mapped by this person's men. During the Second Zhili-Fengtian War, Zhang Zuolin was able to defeat the Zhili warlords because he had an accurate map of China in his hand. According to some folk rumors, the map of China in Zhang Zuolin's hand was also provided by Yoshikawa Sadasa, which was several times more accurate than the map mapped by the Chinese themselves. It became a joke for a while - the Japanese knew more about China's land than the Chinese...
After the "July 7 Incident", Yoshikawa Sadasa followed the Japanese invasion and entered the customs. He served as the head of the five-province secret service agency. On May 17, 1940, he was assassinated by Wu Fengxiang, a member of the Military Control Commission, in Kaifeng, Henan.
However, according to some historical data, Wu Fengxiang's assassination of Yoshikawa Sadasa was completely overturned, so the incident of this person being stabbed to death was not true. It's a pity that this person was a spy and had been hiding in the dark. He never showed up again until Japan surrendered in 1945, and he didn't go to the military court. He disappeared completely.
I don't know why Gu Yinghan mentioned Yoshikawa Sadao, but I nodded to show that I knew this person.
"It's easy to talk if you have knowledge in this area."
Gu Yinghan smiled, opened up the conversation, and slowly explained the cause and effect of the whole incident.
