Chapter 29 Chain Plan
"Yes, it was suicide..." Sun Ting said, "Afterwards, the deceased was no longer limited to the few people who dug the trenches at the beginning. More and more people died silently in the military camp. No matter how careful the soldiers who were guarding at night observed, there would always be people tragically dying not far from the military camp in the morning. Most of the broken limbs were their own actions, which made the fearless Japanese soldiers also begin to fear..."
In just one month, the death toll of the 33rd Division had reached hundreds. The soldiers of the entire regiment did not dare to sleep every day, for fear that bad luck would come to them. Such an army could not fight. In desperation, the division commander Sakurai Shizumi invited Yukiko Harada, hoping that he could give some advice.
Although Yukiro Harada was a wizard, he also studied Chinese Taoism. After coming to Nakajo Mountain, Harada quickly determined that the culprit of the soldiers' suicide was the corpse refining kiln, and built a "enchantment" around the site of the accident. Later, he guided the Sakurai Division to retreat to a safe distance. At the same time, Harada also discovered that other Japanese troops stationed in Nakajo Mountain also had sporadic similar phenomena, but they were far less serious than the Sakurai Division and did not care about it. After some investigation, Harada found that nine corpse refining kilns were buried in the entire Nakajo Mountain. Combined with the analysis of the terrain of Nakajo Mountain, the arrangement of these nine corpse refining kilns was completely consistent with the legendary "dragon engraving formation". He simply concluded that this was a huge ancient Chinese tomb.
Before this, Sakurai Shizo's purpose was very simple, to ensure the morale of the army and prevent someone from committing suicide again. However, under the instigation of Yukikoro Harada, Sakurai also became interested in this ancient Chinese tomb. According to Harada, the tomb that could set up such a formation was at least a royal figure, and the tomb in the mountains should be a Tang tomb. The Japanese have always been full of fantasies about the Tang Dynasty in China. After Harada said this, Sakurai also wanted to dig up this tomb to see the truth, but the question is, how should these nine corpse-refining kilns be handled...
"So Harada found Yun Lingzi?" Zhang Guozhong asked.
"Yes, Harada Yukiro believes that the one who can break the corpse refining kiln in today's world is not the last number of Yun Lingzi in the Central Plains..." Sun Ting said, "Under the appointment of Shizuo Sakurai, Harada found Yun Lingzi and promised to ask Yun Lingzi to come out at the cost of 30 kilograms of gold..."
"Did Yun Lingzi agree?" Zhang Guozhong still couldn't believe it.
"Yes!" Sun Ting felt relieved, "not only did he agree, but he also accepted all the rewards, thirty kilograms of gold and countless silver dollars..."
"This..." Looking at Sun Ting's smile-like expression, Zhang Guozhong was also stunned, "Mr. Sun, what do you want to explain this to me?"
"President Zhang, I hope you finish listening to me..." Sun Ting breathed deeply, "Just like the series of plans that Pang Tong presented to Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period, Yun Lingzi had a series of plans in his mind after hearing Harada's invitation, which was to use this "dragon engraving formation" composed of a corpse-refining kiln to eliminate the 33rd Division commander Sakurai Shizo and Kasuga Shigaro. This would be very positive for the entire Nakajoyama Battle. Although Yun Lingzi did not have a detailed plan at that time, he believed that there would be a way to do this matter cleanly. In order not to arouse the other party's suspicion, Yun Lingzi happily agreed to Harada's invitation and scheduled to personally rush to Nakajoyama in one month. During this month, Yun Lingzi secretly notified the master Shen Fangzhuo and Maoshan sect leader Ma Sijia, hoping to obtain their support, so there was a saying that Wudang and Maoshan both rejected Yun Lingzi outside the Taoist sect..."
"A bitter plan?" Zhang Guozhong finally heard something.
"That's right, Japanese are not fools. If you want to win their trust, you must first ruin yourself and make them feel that you have no way out before you will trust you..." Sun Ting paused and thoughtful, "If you want to use the corpse refining kiln to get rid of Sakurai Satomi and Kasuga Shigetaro, the prerequisite is that they must be present, so they must do everything possible to gain their trust. In fact, when Yun Lingzi made this decision, he had already made up his mind to die. Afterwards, Yun Lingzi made almost all plans to burn together..." Speaking of this, Sun Ting's eyes seemed a little wet...
The biggest obstacle in the implementation of the plan was Yukiro Harada. Because he was an expert, it was difficult to deceive him. And after arriving at Zhongtiao Mountain, Yun Lingzi discovered that the scale and quantity of the corpse refining kiln buried in Zhongtiao Mountain were more than one order of magnitude than the corpse refining kiln he had broken in the Chang family back then. All the scheduled plans had to be re-arranged, so he had to send a letter to Fei Ge, hoping that the real person Ma Sijia from Maoshan would help, which was also the reason why Yun Lingzi was defeated in the end.
"How do you say this?" Zhang Guozhong was a little unnatural at this time. His patriotic behavior was cursed. Why did he inexplicably get involved with Maoshan again?
"I'll tell you!" Old Liu, who was sitting on the side, was so hungry. "Young Master Sun, you should have a rest. Let me explain the rest. Maybe he understands it faster... I have also studied this corpse refining kiln these days... Generally speaking, this principle should be..." Old Liu put down the tea bowl and started talking with a gaze...
The earlier "corpse refining kiln" was a common name for "Golden Body Canal", which only refers to the container of "Red Spirit Pill". However, in later generations, because some Taoist scum used the special nature of "corpse refining kiln", this word became a term for evil weapons. According to legend, in the first year of Guanghua, someone invented the evil weapon "corpse refining kiln", which actually belonged to the same category as this "corpse refining kiln".
The earliest "corpse-refining kiln" was roughly montmorillonite, and its material composition was roughly similar to that of ordinary household water tanks. The same was true for the Changjiaying. If a living person died tragically in the tank, due to its ring structure and special material composition, the deceased's injustice will be difficult to disperse and it will easily accumulate in the four walls. In later generations, some illegal people simply used white marble or dead jade to create a "golden body pot" to greatly enhance their ability to attract resentment and evil in the four walls, and directly boiled the living person here. This kind of thing is the "corpse-refining kiln". Even if there are not many people dead, its power cannot be underestimated. At that time, Yukiro Harada found the "corpse-refining kiln" in Nakajoyama.
The corpse refining kiln, which has accumulated grievances due to refining the Red Spirit Pill, will only "become" in the Zhengyang position or the Zhengyang night. Just like the one who killed Ding Yi in the Changjiaying back then, Chang Sishan dug a corpse refining kiln in the mountains in a confused manner, and thought it was an ordinary water tank, so he moved it back to his home. His family happened to be in the Zhengyang position of Changjiaying, which caused a catastrophe. However, the "corpse refining kiln" in Zhongtiao Mountain is different. If you see "yang", you will be "confused", which means that digging the soil will "become effective" when you see the sky. This is also the reason why Japanese soldiers frequently commit suicide. Moreover, compared with traditional corpse refining kilns like Changjiaying, these more professional "corpse refining axes" are even more powerful. Since it is a "dragon engraving array" array platform, they are not fuel-efficient lamps...
Speaking of this, Old Liu paused, "Guozhong, actually these are not the key points... The key is that you have to know that Yun Lingzi is actually a good person, and our master actually has misunderstandings about him... The most important thing is that we have to complete his will...!"
"I know this... but since it has something to do with Maoshan, I want to know what's going on..." Zhang Guozhong looked at Old Liu and then at Sun Ting, "Since his request for help from real person Ma Sijia became the reason for his disgrace, I really want to know what's going on..."
"The corpse refining kiln is not the corpse refining kiln, which cannot be accomplished by one person's power. Besides, Yun Lingzi has a series of plans..." Sun Ting began to narrate again, "At that time, real person Ma Sijia supported Yun Lingzi's series of plans and sent three children from Maoshan to assist. In the end, these three people were martyred for their own lives, but the series of plans failed..." Sun Ting sighed and suddenly realized, "No... it's not martyrdom, it's martyrdom..."
In order to test Yun Lingzi, Sakurai Shizo even found several Japanese women to be undercover next to him. Even Yukiko Harada also began to make a trick (pretend that someone wanted to use Taoism to harm Sakurai to see if Yun Lingzi would help him). To test Yun Lingzi, but Yun Lingzi endured humiliation and finally won the trust of Sakurai and Harada.
In mid-September 1941, under the supervision of Harada, Yun Lingzi broke eight of the nine corpse refining cauldrons. Harada Yukiro admired Yun Lingzi's skills and Taoism, but what Harada did not expect was that Yun Lingzi did not actually destroy these eight corpse refining cauldrons, but used some methods to temporarily move the power of the corpse refining cauldrons to other places. This work was accomplished by the three Maoshan children a hundred miles away. At that time, what Yun Lingzi was waiting for was the appearance of Japanese division commanders Shigetaro Kama and Shizuo Sakurai.
"The heaven is not beautiful!" As soon as Sun Ting said this, Old Liu suddenly slapped the table and put down the teacup with a snap. He sighed, "Suddenly, heavy rain sucked the three pillars and the soul-sucking fragrance. Maoshan righteous man died and burial formation! Yun Lingzi fought with his body, but had no choice but to die with a gun. He could not eliminate the thief, but instead planted the root of disaster!"
"How to say it!" Zhang Guozhong gradually realized something, as if Yun Lingzi's final plan failed purely by chance, and this accidental failure seemed to have brought about some bad consequences...
"It's like this... There is an old Chinese saying, 'Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. Master Zhang, do you know whose tomb they found?" Sun Ting did not explain the so-called death of the Maoshan righteous man, but also kept it a secret.
"Whose tomb?" Zhang Guozhong became more and more surprised. "Whose tomb is it..., has something to do with the failure of this series of plans...?"
