It just so happened that in Europe, in August and September of last year, Germany joined the Austrian states in their invasion of Serbia. Serbia and Deo, each with a accomplice in the war. Unexpectedly, there was a huge battle. The sound of the cannon was getting louder and louder, the blood flow was getting farther and farther away, and the battlefield was getting bigger and bigger. Germany is no longer able to take into account its vested interests in China as two military conglomerates are fighting in Europe to the bitter end.
Japan took advantage of this opportunity to declare war on Germany in anticipation of its demise. Therefore, Japan did not say anything to China and directly sent troops to invade China. Japan sent out a large number of naval troops to attack the German forces stationed in Qingdao. The German army, accustomed to being free and unguarded in Qingdao, was forced to retreat in a panic. Within a few days, the Japanese army had taken over half of Qingdao. The main German army was driven to the Lau Shan area to put up a resistance. There were also a number of German troops stationed in Lausanne Bay, who rushed to reinforce the German army in the Gulf of Jiaozhou. The combined German forces were now in a stalemate with the Japanese.
The German commander, while commanding the operation, telegraphed for help at home. The German government was unable to send its troops and kept dragging it out. Seeing that there was no hope of rescue, the Qingdao Germans had to first offer a negotiated peace to Japan. The Japanese and German armies then went to an armistice in Qingdao to discuss how to divide Qingdao. The Japanese troops refused to accept the conditions offered by the Germans and demanded that they surrender to them. The Germans would not surrender so easily and give up their wealth. There was a pure German army in the German army.
This army was barbaric and strong in combat. Not only did they not surrender, they even took advantage of the unprepared Japanese and suddenly counterattacked the Japanese. They still wanted to defeat the Japanese army and take back the entire Qingdao, which was the reason for this war. The casualties of the Japanese and German armies were more or less unknown. Only the people of China had been caught up in the fighting, and the people had been killed in the fire. The buildings and buildings that had been destroyed by gunfire from both sides were now in a state of disarray. The Chinese women and children, who were homeless because of the war, were crying and wailing endlessly.
The Taiqing Palace was located on the summit of Lau Mountain, a luxurious ancient building that had become the headquarters of the German army. All the families in the temple were driven down the mountain. Hua Chunfeng and Yuan Ming led everyone around in search of escape from the flames of war. Unexpectedly, the German Army and the Japanese Army had sealed off the entire area. Hua Chunfeng and Yuan Ming were helpless. The two of them wanted to lead the crowd through the Japanese army's blockade to the mainland to avoid the flames of war. They broke through at night and were caught by the Japanese as spies for the Germans. The Japanese were like wild beasts. It was undeniable that they had all been killed with bayonets. Yuan Ming, Hua Chunfeng, and the rest were at the foot of the mountain. Their corpses were in a horrible condition. At Qingdao, the two armies were in a dispute with each other over the victory of the monk with copper heads and the monk with iron heads. The two of them were not allowed to go near Lao Shan, so they did not know that Yuan Ming had died.
After the Steel Head Monk finished narrating what had happened, he comforted Fa Ming, ”Master, do not be anxious. As long as he is here, we can definitely bring him here. ” The Copper Monk had many thoughts in his mind. He analyzed, ”I heard that all the families in Supreme Purity Palace died in the fires of war. I estimate that Yuan Mingsheng's chances are very small. Japanese soldiers are there to massacre the Chinese they will kill in cars and throw them into the sea. ”
Fa Ming said, ”In the Russo-Russian War of 1905, so many of our people from the Northeast died tragically. There were countless houses, buildings, and livestock damaged by the war. At the time, people were cursing the Qing government for being incompetent. Now that he was a Republic of China, what was the result? It is still up to the imperialists to slaughter the Chinese people and do whatever they want in our land. What does a government like this want it for! ” Si Kong said: ”We need to establish a strong country, a government that can protect Li Shu and expel the barbarians.”
Fa Ming continued: ”These traitors under Yuan Shikai's lead are more than capable of being brutal on the inside, and have surrendered to outsiders. There was really no hope. The Japanese occupied the Liaodong in the north, Taiwan in the south, Fujian in the middle and Shandong in the middle. They clearly want to nibble away at our China. On the other hand, traitors like Yuan Shikai were still colluding with Japan and colluding with them. ”He really recognizes thieves as his father!” The Si Kong said: ”I hope that Cai Songpo will succeed in his great cause soon, and sweep through the entire country, overthrow the Yuan Shikai Selling the country's government, and rebuild a strong country.”
Fa Ming was extremely furious, and said: ”Qing Qing left behind such a grievance, the jackal has entered the nation. There were demonic dances everywhere, wantonly killing people. In the face of such a miserable scene, the pain cut through the hearts of the nation. What day does China have? Who will save Li Min? ”
At this moment, the deacon had brought the small box that he had cleaned out of the rubble when he arrived at the top of the palace. The deacon monk said to Si Kong: ”Elder, I have already washed this small box clean. So it turned out to be so exquisite and beautiful. Ever since I saw it that day, I've always wanted to see what was inside. Is it the sariras, or the buddhist beads. ” Si Kong caught it and said, ”Ever since that day at the top of the collapsing palace, I have been suffering from continuous illnesses. I forgot it because I was upset, and now I am playing with it. ” The Si Kong invited Fa Ming again, ”friend, stop reciting poems that are sentimental, quickly come and look at the treasures, to relieve the anger in your chest.” After Si Kong finished, he sat in front of the Eight Immortals Table with the Treasure Chest in his hand.
Fa Ming also went over to take a look, and was immediately shocked. Seeing the small box was no different from seeing the Treasure Chest that was filled with the ”International purple-white plate”. It was even clearer and brighter than that. Fa Ming sat down and read again. The patterns, carvings, Yin and Yang, the Seven Stars Lock, all seemed to be the same as the previous one. Fa Ming was surprised: ”Clan elder, we are really lucky, what is in here is our national treasure!” When everyone heard the word ”national treasure”, they immediately came to watch. Seeing Fa Ming smile happily. Everyone was also happy as they said, ”Let's see what kind of national treasure it is!”
Si Kong looked at the box and said, ”This thing is flawless. I've never seen anything so delicate in my life. I can't even find the mechanism to open it. ”
Si Kong pushed the Treasure Chest towards Fa Ming and said, ”friend is very knowledgeable, open it.”
