Yao explained to him: ”This pagoda is a five-wheeled pagoda, representing the five elements of earth, fire, wind, and air. It is also a symbol of Tathagata. The bottom square of this Five Wheel Tower was the earth, with a circle above it being water, a triangle shaped like fire, a half-moon shaped like wind, and the top layer of the water droplet-shaped tower having an empty space. I just saw some carvings in Japanese on top of the Five Wheels Tower. I carefully smelled the stench of dead bodies and blood. This dog used to fight in the past. He liked to cut off the enemy's ears and nose, marinate them with salt, and bring them back to claim credit. But with so many dead people gathered together, their resentment was inauspicious. In the old days, when Fengchun and Xiuji invaded, they cut off the ears and noses of hundreds of thousands of Koreans and Daming soldiers and hid them in the pagoda, which is still standing in the capital. ”A part of the Japanese army claimed that they had an ancient style, and this bunch of vicious grandsons must have done it because they killed the rebels here and cut off their ears and noses in order to establish their might.”
”Mister Yao should be right. I looked at the words on it and I'm not too sure. However, it should be said that the people killed were all anti-Japanese enemies. They were placed inside the pagoda to suppress the soul.”
”Ah, then let's sleep here... ”How scary.” Jin Buyi's face turned green. He was doing internal work at the foundation, and although he had been to the wilderness a few times, he was still scared that he had run into something that was equivalent to a mass grave. In fact, it wasn't just him, even Yao Yun and Wei Wuji were very afraid of this Ear Tomb. The two of them had been working in the wilderness all year round and had seen many strange things and things, and they were actually even more wary of these things than the average person. Thus, Yao Yun immediately made a decision to stop resting here.
Because everyone had rested for a while, they had all eaten their meals and recovered some of their physical strength, so it wasn't a big deal to them to travel through the night. With one hand holding the torch he had made in the country, and the other holding a machete as he made his way to the front. With the other hand holding a torch he made in the country and the other holding a machete as he made his way to the front, the torch burned slowly. Not long after he had left, Wuji ran to the front to find Yao Yun, ”Brother, let's lock the gates. I've just pulled half a hole in my shxt, and my stomach is still churning. I need to take another bath, and I also want to go under the bridge. You guys wait for us for a while, we can find a place to rest for a bit.”
Yao Yun could only helplessly order everyone to rest where they were and wait for the two of them. Unexpectedly, after a while, Wu Wuji ran back in a flustered manner. You f * cking dug up treasure again? ” Yao Ling asked in surprise. Wuji's voice was a little shaky as he said, ”Treasure your sister, hurry! Come with me and take a look, there are so many dead people! ”
He and Ashley followed Wuji down a small slope. Below them was a small bamboo forest, and just as Yao Ling arrived at the edge of the forest, his sensitive nose smelled a thick scent of blood, and the smell was so strong that he knew that not only were there a lot of corpses in the forest, but the scene must be very tragic.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the bamboo forest, he saw Yao Ling nudging him from under the bridge, ”Are you alright?” Scared? Aren't you afraid of being a guerrilla hit player? ”
It was only then that the man under the bridge came back to his senses. He said awkwardly, ”Ah, no...” ”Yes, but these people died so miserably.”
When they got closer, they could see that there were men and women among the corpses, and they were also young and old. Judging from the clothes that they were wearing, all of them were Muslims, some of them had their throats cut off, some of them had their waists cut off, and some of them were hung upside down on trees, and were sawed into two halves by someone's knife or saw from their crotch. In the distance, there were even a few corpses that had been burnt into black charcoal.
”These... It could be Rohingyas, or they might have fought with the locals and been lynched here. ” After speaking, Yao Yun lit up a cigarette. His sense of smell was naturally much sharper than that of an ordinary person's. The stench of blood and internal organs in the forest made him, who often hunted, somewhat unable to resist.
”These people... Why is it so cruel! ” Ashley was furious. She had been to many places in the world, but this was the first time she had seen such a bloody and cruel scene.
”These people have been fighting for generations and have formed grudges for generations, and we don't have the chance to experience that. I have already told you that this place is very dangerous, and our mission this time is to be placed between Luo Kai and Luo Xingyan, who knows what will happen in the future. Don't be sad, but hurry up and go, we can finish the work earlier and leave this land earlier.”
Ashley was a woman facing reality. She knew that there wasn't much law and order in this place, and the only thing she needed to do was to complete the mission successfully and carry out the next step of her plan. Only by doing this step by step could she save herself and her father.
It was best not to stay long in this kind of place. Yao Ling then told everyone to leave the bamboo forest and go back. Unexpectedly, the Bridge of Helplessness took a big package from the animals and then said to everyone, ”You guys go first, I think these people died too miserably. There are still some small children left, I'll go bury these kids and help them live again.” After he finished speaking, he went back to the bamboo forest, not caring about Yao Yun's objections.
