Seeing the three of them appear in front of him, Zhai Qicheng was overjoyed. He was finally relieved and was about to ask about the situation in the valley. This time, it was Murong Yao who spoke first." Uncle Zhai, don't ask about the situation in the valley. Anyway, we are all safe. When the time comes, let Uncle Niu tell you. It is not convenient for us to tell you, so don't overthink it!”
Zhai Qicheng knew that this was an important matter, so he did not ask. Just as he was about to make arrangements for them, his eyes lit up when he saw the tiger meat in their hands."You guys beat up the tiger?"
"Yes, sir! Unfortunately, it's too big. We can only get a portion back.”
"How many are there inside?"
"Plus the internal organs, there's still more than half!"
Zhai Qicheng was tempted. It had been years since he last saw a tiger in Huitou Village. Tigers were treasures, especially the tiger bones. They were priceless treasures.
"Meat won't spoil easily in cold weather. Will it be dangerous if we go in again?"”
Murong Yao understood the meaning behind this and his heart moved. Tiger meat was a good thing and he could bring some back to Three Family Village to nourish the elders. Hence, he said,""It's not a big problem. It's just these lightning bolts. We're already experienced in defending against them. We'll make another trip tomorrow and be back on the same day.”
On the third day, the three of them went to the Rebirth Valley again. Everything went smoothly. Because they had brought tools, the three of them took out all the remaining tiger meat, including the water.
When he saw these things, Zhai Qicheng remembered that he had forgotten to ask the three of them how they killed the tiger yesterday.
Everyone explained the process.
Zhai Qicheng remained silent. He took Niu Zheng's short knife over. It was a sharp knife that could cut through iron like mud. This knife could cut open a tiger with ease. When he saw the Japanese characters on the knife, Zhai Qicheng asked,"How did you get this saber?"
"When Murong Yao was studying in Nanjing, he snatched it from the Japanese! He gave it to me."
Zhai Qicheng glanced at Murong Yao and thought of the two Divine Bombs that they had mentioned just now. He opened the tiger's eyes and looked at it for a long time before thinking for a while. When no one was paying attention, she pulled Murong Yao to the side and asked in a low voice,""How is your inner strength training?”
Murong Yao told him the whole process of his cultivation and his feelings. Zhai Qicheng did not speak for a long time. After a while, he said,"Genius, you are a genius in martial arts! It took me a whole year to reach your level, but you only practiced for a month and you have already achieved small success. Just now, I saw the two marbles you hit into the tiger's eyes and you already have inner strength. But the two marbles you fired are the key.”
"Uncle Zhai, don't expose me!" Murong Yao said. Let Niu Zheng be happy, he was a martial arts fanatic! The next time I meet you, I will tell you what I have learned so that you can help me correct my mistakes.”
Zhai Qicheng had nothing to say to Murong Yao, who was mature and mature at a young age.
"Oh, right! Uncle Zhai, have you finished frying the tea leaves from last time? If you're done, let me bring some this time. I want to show my respect to the elders! Also, help me find a place to hide these three iron cages. We'll need them the next time we go in.”
The matter at the Rebirth Valley was temporarily settled. Everyone was prepared to return to Three Family Village the next day. The return trip was smooth, so they did not talk anymore.
It was already December 8th when he returned to Qingyang Three Family Village. The outside world changed again.
On December 1, 1937, the Japanese army surrounded Nanjing, the capital of the National Government. The Yangtze River was on the northwest side of Nanjing, and the other three sides were surrounded by the Japanese army. The commander of the Nanjing Garrison of the National Government was Tang Shengzhi. Tang ordered that all the ships on the Yangtze River that were ready to retreat were controlled by the headquarters. This action would lay the seeds of disaster for their future retreat.
At the same time, the Japanese 18th Division that occupied Guangde was divided into two groups. One group headed north, and on the 5th, they occupied Langxi. Then, they returned to Liyang, Jiangsu Province, and headed straight for the left side of Nanjing. The other side attacked westward. On the 6th, Xuancheng fell. If they continued westward, it would be Qingyang. The Japanese army turned north to attack Wuhu County. On the 10th, Wuhu fell. On the 11th, Dangtu fell. Qingyang temporarily escaped.
On December 10th, the Japanese army launched a general attack on Nanjing. On the 12th, Tang Shengzhi issued a retreat order. The ships on the Yangtze River had been plundered by them, and the retreating troops had no ships to cross. Tang Shengzhi, on the other hand, fled to the north of the Yangtze River on a small fire wheel that had already been prepared. Most of the Chinese troops were stranded in the city. On the 13th, the Japanese army attacked Nanjing. The Nanjing Massacre, which lasted for more than 40 days, began. More than 300,000 Chinese soldiers and civilians were killed.
On the pillar of shame were the Japanese forces dispatched to Shanghai: 3rd Division, 9th Division, 16th Division, and Yamada Division; 10th division, 6th division, 18th division, 114th division and Guoqi division.
Of course, there was also Tang Shengzhi, the commander of the Nanjing Garrison, who was the first to escape from the National Government.
When they returned to Sanjia Village, Murong Yao passed a bag of tiger bones to Niu Zheng when everyone was parting ways.""Let Uncle Niu take these things to the clinic to make medicinal wine. I will go to your house tonight. Find a way to call Uncle Wei and Second Brother. I will also call my father over tonight.”
Not long after Niu Zheng arrived home, Niu Yunfeng also came back from Qingyang's clinic. Seeing that his son was safe and sound, Niu Yunfeng felt relieved. It would be a lie to say that he was not worried. After all, the Rebirth Valley was a land of death. Niu Yunfeng asked about the process of entering the Rebirth Valley. Niu Zheng briefly explained the twists and turns of the story. When he heard that the Rebirth Valley was similar to Three Family Village, he was a little surprised. Niu Zheng also said that Murong Yao had analyzed that the key to the Rebirth Valley might be in Sanjia Village. Niu Yunfeng was confused. Fortunately, they had to meet at night, so there were some things they could ask him face to face. Niu Zheng told his father that they had killed a tiger, and that the tiger had been stabbed to death by himself. This gave Niu Yunfeng quite a shock. His son could actually kill a tiger. This was something he didn't even dare to imagine. He quickly asked his son to describe the process.
When Niu Zheng explained that Murong Yao had shot out two glass marbles to blind the tiger's eyes, Niu Yunfeng knew that his son had taken advantage of the situation. He was dealing with a blind tiger, and Murong Yao should have been the one to take the credit. But he didn't say it out loud. He didn't mean to cover up. He only knew that Niu Zheng was honest and honest. In terms of intelligence, Niu Zheng was not only inferior to Murong Yao, but he was also inferior to Wei Wuji. Wei Wuji had already taken over the Four Seas Trading Company. Now that the Four Seas Trading Company was running smoothly, his business talent was undoubtedly displayed. Fortunately, Niu Zheng was not a useless person. Murong Yao's martial arts had far surpassed Niu Zheng's, and the gap between them was still widening. He could not let his son lose confidence! He gave her a few more words of encouragement.
At night, Murong Qingshan, Wei Yiqu, Murong Yao, and Wei Wuji gathered at Niu Zheng's house.
Murong Yao explained the details of his trip to the Rebirth Valley."The Rebirth Valley is an enlarged Three Family Village. The center of the Rebirth Valley is also a circular lake like the Three Family Village. As for the lightning we encountered in the Rebirth Valley, it disappeared in less than half an hour.”Murong Yao changed the topic and asked Niu Yunfeng,""When Uncle Niu was young, I heard that the layout of Three Family Village was instructed by an expert.”Niu Yunfeng, Murong Qingshan, and Wei Yiqu looked at each other in confusion! After a moment of silence, Niu Yunfeng said,"Actually, it's just a sentence passed down by the old man. We don't know the truth! However, the layout of the Sanjia Village was not developed bit by bit. When the village was first formed, it was like this now. The walls had long been built. There were not many people in the village, so there were many empty streets. From this point of view, it was possible to plan ahead.”
Niu Yunfeng didn't say anything. Murong Yao was a little disappointed. This was the only clue.
At this moment, Murong Qingshan interrupted,""Why don't we ask Grandpa Niu?"
Grandpa Niu was Niu Zheng's grandfather. The old man was still alive and healthy. Because he practiced martial arts in his early years, his body was healthy. He could eat, sleep, and run. He didn't want to live with the younger generation and lived alone on the east side of the pond. Of course, he wasn't alone. Wei Wuji's grandparents were also there. Because Wei Yiqu was always outside, he brought Wei Wuji out too. The house was deserted. Grandpa Wei and the others lived together with Grandpa Niu. The few elders lived together and took care of each other. It was also very lively. Niu Yunfeng's wife, Madam Liu, and Wei Wuji's mother often went over to take care of him. The children often went over to visit the old man.
Niu Yunfeng thought about it but couldn't do anything about it. His father didn't care about the family anymore and he was the one who had to take care of the family. Try it. Asking one more person always gave him more hope. It was better than nothing.
Murong Yao felt a little helpless. The three leaders of Three Family Village were sitting here. If they were all shaking their heads, then the hope of this matter was not very high. But no matter what, he had to drag Niu Zheng to see his grandfather tomorrow. The old man might remember something.
Murong Yao had never expected that he would come here full of hope. Who would have thought that this meeting of the village elders would end without any results?
It could be considered a desperate attempt. The next day, Murong Yao pulled Niu Zheng to Grandpa Niu's house.
The old man's complexion was ruddy and he was in good spirits. Grandpa Wei and Grandma Wei were also there. After all, they were not his own grandpa. When they came, Murong Yao had already told Niu Zheng that he would ask.
When Niu Zheng explained his intentions, the old man looked confused."Isn't it just a casual sentence? It's fine as long as you don't take it seriously." Murong Yao sighed. This Grandpa Niu was really big. It seemed like he was muddle-headed when he was young. No wonder Niu Yunfeng did not think of him at all yesterday. It seemed like the search for clues was going to end in vain. Unexpectedly, Grandma Wei, who was beside him, heard his interest and came up to say,"Old man, when I got married, I heard from the elders that if you encounter something you don't understand, you can ask the Bodhisattva at the Great Compassion Buddhist Hall!”
"Yes, yes! Go ask Bodhisattva." "Bodhisattva is a god, he knows everything!"”
Murong Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He remembered that there was a saying in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. If one couldn't decide on internal affairs, one should ask Zhang Zhao. If one couldn't decide on external affairs, one should ask Zhou Yu. It seemed that he had to add, if he couldn't make up his mind, he would ask the gods.
However, Murong Yao wasn't someone who would give up easily. After they left the door, he said to Niu Zheng,""To the Great Compassion Buddha Hall!"
Niu Zheng was also confused. Are we really going to the Great Compassion Buddha Hall?
