Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before Dragon Slaying

Chapter 202 "Thousands of battles", in the depths of the abyss (two in one, please subscribe!)

Yuan Zhisheng followed Lu Mingfei's gaze, and beside the wall at the entrance of the main hall was a sharp ukiyo-e.

Ordinary ukiyo-e paintings often depict people's daily life, scenery and operas, or record extremely flashy battles between gods and demons. The painters use rich colors to picture books, and the beautiful flowers and everything are colorful.

But the one in front of me is different, it is extremely monotonous and shocking to the extreme, the entire giant painting from the floor to the dome of the hall is densely packed with only one thing...

Knife!

A knife with unparalleled sharpness, a knife with a killing intent!The sky and the earth are like a tight formation, and the fierce aura of hundreds of thousands of ancient knives seems to pierce through the screen. Just by looking at it, it seems that you can smell the bloody aura permeating from those murderous weapons, which stings fiercely Looking at the eyeballs of the viewer, it makes people feel skin pain... Lu Mingfei's eyes are fixed on one of them.

"I didn't expect you to know so much about Japanese tea ceremony, and you are also very interested in kendo?" Yuan Zhisheng came to Lu Mingfei's side, "You are still so young, even if you are born and raised in Japan, few people will know it. Be interested in these old-fashioned traditional cultures."

Lu Mingfei came back to his senses and restrained his shocked expression: "I learned Japanese kendo when I was in China, but it was only the most basic part. I don't know if it is authentic or not. I learned it with my senior brother." Lu Ming He pointed at Chu Zihang.

"It just so happens that I have also received training in kendo, and we can discuss it together when I have time." Yuan Zhisheng turned his eyes to the huge ukiyo-e painted with ancient knives again, and said softly, "That is "The Battle of Thousands of Rens and Ten Thousands"."

""Thousands of Rins and Thousands of Battles"?" Lu Mingfei whispered the name of the giant Ukiyo-e.

"Yes, 'Qianren' represents the number of famous swords, and 'Wanzhan' represents that these famous swords have participated in at least [-] real wars." Yuan Zhisheng said, looking at the different swords.

"There are a total of 430 seven famous swords on this giant ukiyo-e. From the end of the Heian period to modern times, almost all the swords that can be named are included in this picture. Every famous sword on this is more or less Alchemy skills are added, of course, those famous knives that have been damaged are not included." Yuan Zhisheng said.

"This picture was drawn by the owner of the Inuyama family, Mr. Inuyama Ka, who invited his old friend Takato Yamamoto. Master Takato Yamamoto is one of the best Ukiyo-e masters in the world. In order to draw this huge sword In the record, he observes famous knives day and night, listens to the story of the blood on the back of each knives, and only writes after feeling the sharpness of the sharp edge. time and countless painstaking efforts." Yuan Zhisheng quietly narrated the origin of Ukiyo-e.

"That is to say, this Master Gao Yuan has personally seen the famous sword in the "Thousands of Thousands of Rens and Thousands of Battles"?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Each one?"

"Every one." Yuan Zhisheng nodded.

"How did he do it? Did he rob all the sword museums in Japan?" Lu Mingfei was shocked.

"No, because almost all of these famous knives are in the hands of Sheqi Hachika." Yuan Zhisheng said, "Some of them are stored in the Kendo Museum of the main family, some are stored in the arsenal, and the other part is the private collection of the owner of the Inuyama family. Inuyama Mr. He is the head of the family who is most dedicated to kendo, and the head of the Inuyama family has achieved the highest attainments in the field of kendo. Apart from the original business of the Inuyama family, his greatest hobby is collecting famous knives."

Lu Mingfei wasn't surprised by this, but it was beyond the expectations of Caesar and Chu Zihang. The owner of Inushan, who was as kind as the neighbor's grandfather, clearly had the words "I'm a nice guy" written on his face. , but he is actually the one with the highest kendo attainment among Sheqiba?
This is like Gattuso Pompeii, who looks like a playboy, is actually an honest man who can’t pick up girls, and Fingel, who looks like a dog, says that he is actually a very reliable, beast-like and tough man... This contrast It's unbelievable!
"That knife... is it also one of the eight schools of snakes included?" Lu Mingfei suddenly pointed to the No. 20 four famous swords in "The Battle of Thousands of Rens and Ten Thousands".

Caesar and Chu Zihang also looked in the direction of Lu Mingfei's finger. The moment they saw the knife, both of them were taken aback. They had seen that famous knife before?
When Yuan Zhisheng's eyes came into contact with the famous sword that Lu Mingfei was pointing at, his expression also flashed unnaturally, "That...was originally Patriarch Inuyama's favorite sword."

"Originally?" Lu Mingfei caught a word.

"Yes, originally." Yuan Zhisheng nodded, "Famous things Guanshizhengzong, made by the famous sword maker Masamune in the late Kamakura period. It is a pity that the master's favorite famous knife was stolen in the end."

"Theft?"

"There is a traitor in the family..." Yuan Zhisheng suddenly stopped talking, "I'm sorry, this matter involves family secrets, so I can't disclose it. Today's focus is on the task handover issue. The topic is still back to the 1992 ship. Sink on an icebreaker in the Japan Trench."

Traitor... Lu Mingfei withdrew his eyes from the authentic view of the world, and at the same time, his mind was full of doubts and shocks.

Caesar and Chu Zihang rarely looked at each other in tacit understanding, Chu Zihang shook his head calmly, and Caesar gave up his thoughts of further studying this matter.

Yuan Zhisheng spread out a huge chart in front of everyone, and marked a red circle somewhere: "This is a chart of the Sea of ​​Japan. This is the location where the Lenin sent out the distress signal last. The coastline of the sea is 120 nautical miles, and when our search and rescue team arrived, there was no trace of the Lenin. The sea here is also the deepest area of ​​the Japan Trench, with a depth of more than 8000 meters, so the search and rescue team gave up salvage. Ideas, come back in vain."

More than 8000 meters, it is almost equivalent to inverting Mount Everest, the world's highest peak, under the sea surface to fill the bottom of the trench.Climbing peaks above the ground is already beyond the limit of human activities, let alone exploring the bottom of the unknown deep sea.

"I have checked the relevant information. There is almost no route set for the sunken ship of the Lenin, but the sea area is quite safe. There are no hidden reefs, vortexes, and icebergs." Chu Zihang said suddenly, and the topic came to his field of expertise as a man of science and engineering. "The Lenin was built to conquer the seas of the Arctic. It is called a 'monster capable of confronting ice floes head-on', which means that even if it crashes into an iceberg, it will not remain silent. With its tonnage, it can even resist deep-sea torpedoes head-on. "

"However, such a beast of steel had an accident in a safe sea area, and it was too late to wait for rescue." Yuan Zhisheng said, "This incident was listed by the Japanese Maritime Safety Administration as the biggest unsolved case of a maritime disaster in the past 50 years."

"That sounds really wicked!" Although Caesar did not have as much knowledge as Chu Zihang, he was not stingy about expressing his thoughts.

"Yes, some time ago I contacted an alumnus who worked in the Russian intelligence department. He went through all the files and didn't know why the Lenin left the Northern Fleet that day, and why it sailed to the Sea of ​​Japan. He It is said that even after 20 years, this icebreaker is still a taboo within the KGB and even the military. No one knows the ins and outs of this incident, and no one related to the incident can be found. The Russian high-level officials announced that this incident will be permanently closed Banned, no one is allowed to mention it, as if the incident involved something unclean, they feel that bringing up the incident 20 years ago will attract ghosts."

It is indeed a ghost, Lu Mingfei thought...it is just a ghost of a dragon.

"Do you know the target location of this exploration? The Japan Trench." Yuan Zhisheng asked.

"The trench is actually a crack that penetrates deep into the seabed when the continental plate moves, that is, the abyss." Chu Zihang began to show his strength as a man of science again, "Geographically speaking, the Japanese trench should be located in Asia and Europe. On the boundary line between the Pacific plate and the Pacific plate, the Pacific plate collided with the Eurasian plate when it drifted, and a very long and deep crack was opened in the earth's crust."

Yuan Zhisheng glanced at Chu Zihang in surprise, as if surprised by his profound knowledge, "Yes, the deepest trench in the world is the Mariana Trench, with a depth of more than [-] meters, and this trench and the Mariana Trench are actually It is one. Several trenches are connected in parallel, extending an abyss thousands of miles across. The deepest trench you are about to explore is called the 'Tuscarola' abyss. The Fichards abyss in the Mariana Trench is identified as Before the deepest point in the world, the Tuscarola Deep was once considered the deepest point in the world, and it has another name..."

"Extreme abyss!"

"This name sounds like a place like the restricted area of ​​life on the Discovery Channel," Caesar said.

"It is indeed a restricted area for life, but unlike the ones on the Discovery Channel, the Abyss is a truly taboo place. Human beings have never set foot there, and everything about the Abyss is unknown, even the known deep seas. It is also difficult for animals to survive there." Yuanzhi said in a deep voice, "The college recently explored there, and it was too deep, so we could only use specific frequency sonar to explore, but we failed in the depths of the abyss. When we found the sunken ship, we found a heartbeat instead. There is a huge creature hidden there, and its heartbeat can even be detected across 8000 meters of deep water. It is stable and violent... What kind of creature can survive in such a harsh situation?"

"Dragon." Chu Zihang spit out this taboo term.

"You mean, there's a dragon hidden in the abyss?" Caesar asked. "Someone put a dragon on the Lenin and sank it in the Japan Trench?"

"To be precise, it is an embryo of a dragon, and its heartbeat is enhanced, indicating that it is hatching." Yuan Zhisheng said, "We can investigate that the route of the Lenin passed an unnamed port in Siberia, and it replenished from there. A lot of goods, the embryos should have been loaded on the ship from there. But the port was burned to the ground by a fire afterwards, and we could not investigate any information, the origin of the embryos, and who hid it on the ship. No one knows where this person is going to send the embryo, but it seems that it did not reach its destination and sank with the Lenin in the Japan Trench, everything is difficult to explain."

"That port..." Lu Mingfei suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence, swallowed the words "Black Swan Harbor", and changed the wording, "Siberia is in the Arctic Circle, where it is not easy to catch fire. The fire was obviously man-made, otherwise it would be impossible for everything to be such a coincidence. Someone took the embryo away, and the port lost its meaning of existence, and its corpses were destroyed... If the fire was not a coincidence, then the sinking of the ship must be a coincidence Is it?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Zhisheng was taken aback.

"Then everything can be explained." Chu Zihang whispered, "Someone used the Lenin to bring the embryos to the top of the Japan Trench, and then caused a shipwreck to sink the embryos into the abyss. And concealed, no one will deliberately explore whether there is a dragon embryo hidden in the trench at a depth of more than 8000 meters, which is the best place for it to incubate!"

"Would it be too much of a fuss to sink a [-]-ton icebreaker into the Japan Trench just to place an embryo there?" Caesar frowned.

Yuan Zhisheng was startled suddenly. It might be a fuss to sink the embryos into a trench at will. These people from the headquarters don't know, but he knows better than anyone else that Jiyuan is not an ordinary trench. The place!

But apart from the Sheqi Bajia and the ghosts, no one knows the location of the divine burial place... The ghosts?Ghosts!

All this is a coincidence?Or a big conspiracy?If anyone wants to have an accident with "God", then the fierce ghosts are definitely the first suspects, but what is the connection between the fierce ghosts and the former Soviet icebreaker?
And at this time, people from Kassel College suddenly came?

The Lenin, the dragon embryo, the burial place of the gods, the demons, the Snakes and the Kassel College... Yuan Zhisheng felt as if he had grasped some ideas, and these ideas were scattered like sporadic shining fragments In his mind, each piece is a clue, but he lacks a thread, the key that can connect all the fragments of these clues together, and the result is just a mess.

Lu Mingfei looked at Yuan Zhisheng's unresolved brows, he nodded slightly, and told himself in his heart, this is enough, this is enough... Everything must be done slowly, the guy behind the scenes can use Planning a big game of chess for 20 years, it is not a matter of overnight to overthrow the chessboard. The old guy will plant seeds called "doubt" on his chess pieces, and wait until he thinks he is At the moment when the great cause of Qianqiu is accomplished, these seeds have already broken through the ground, and the towering giant tree will overturn all the shady scenes!
"Hey, I have a good proposal." Caesar clapped his hands suddenly, and everyone's eyes subconsciously fell on him, including Patriarch Sakurai and Patriarch Ryoma.

"How about an underwater nuclear explosion?" Under the gaze of everyone, Caesar's smile was as bright as the sun, but his words were like devils.
