Chapter 156 The Takahashi Family Slays Dragons for Generations
"Does the Dragon King exist? Does the East China Sea Crystal Palace exist? Is the mission of the Dragon Slayer a false proposition or does it really exist?"
Before I close my eyes, these three questions are still bothering me.
I even feel that Aoki is like a doomsday prophet, bringing hope to the island country, but also bringing a huge crisis.
In my dreams, I have seen the frozen Dulong Bingzhu Temple countless times. Fangxing sent me nearly a thousand satellite photos, which clearly captured all aspects of Dulong Bingzhu Temple from countless angles.
At the same time, the Antiques Investigation Bureau sent more than a hundred informants to contact this huge "ice ball" at an almost suicidal distance, but ultimately gave up the plan to rescue or crack it.
The informant used the most advanced radiation detector and confirmed that the thickness of the ice layer was about 52 meters, and its freezing hardness index had exceeded the upper limit of the instrument, making it impossible to measure.
Therefore, the Antique Investigation Bureau came to the conclusion that "Dulong Bingzhu Temple has entered the ancient ice age and cannot be opened at all. The people inside can only be reduced to specimens, waiting for the next day when the permafrost thaws."
There are so many unsolved mysteries in the world, and the freezing of Dulong Bingzhu Temple is not the only one.
Compared with the Devil's Triangle, the precise data of the Egyptian pyramids, the space capsule in the lair of the South American food tribe... what happened at Dulong Bingzhu Temple in the Snowy Mountains is really nothing.
In a trance, I saw the Six-Eared Heavenly King.
He stood directly above the "hockey ball" with his arms raised high, as if he was welcoming the light of the scorching sun.
"Ah? Heaven's Heart, Heaven's Eye... these secret esoteric skills of the Snowy Mountains, aren't they the most appropriate techniques for exploring ice hockey?"
I suddenly woke up and sat up suddenly.
When the Six-Eared Heavenly King came to Kyushu Island, he was like an invisible fuse, connecting the strange things that happened in the two places.
Compared with this, what Hero Otake did was so trivial that it simply tarnished his identity as an investigator of the Antiques Investigation Bureau.
I looked at my watch and saw that I had just slept for four hours, which greatly relieved my body's fatigue.
Outside the door, a figure flashed lightly.
Although it only took a tenth of a second, I quickly determined that it was Ryoko Takahashi.
"Ms. Takahashi, please come in and talk -" I blurted out without any hesitation.
The shadow retreated and stopped at the door.
"Sorry, I was just passing by and bothering you." The gentle voice of Ryoko Takahashi sounded outside the door.
I walked over and opened the door. The ceiling light in the corridor outside was a little dim, but I could still clearly see the tears in Ryoko Takahashi's eyes.
Her left arm was wrapped with black gauze, and a small white flower was pinned to her chest.
Isao Takahashi is dead, at the hands of Ghost Eye. The only thing Ryoko Takahashi can do is to silently commemorate him. Ghost Eye is her second brother, and Isao Takahashi is her eldest brother. This time, the brothers bite back. As a younger sister, she has no choice but to avenge Takahashi Isao.
I invited her in and sat down on the sofa.
The quartz clock on the side points to nine o'clock in the evening. In this coastal city, it is already a quiet time of rest.
"I just came from the funeral home... My eldest brother has been buried, and this matter has turned a page. He had his last words, and I was given the responsibility to take care of the Ichiba Museum, tens of thousands of books, thousands of specimens, and twelve museums all over the island country. A branch of the library, the land, the cafes, hotels, playgrounds attached to the ground, etc... It seems that I can only put down everything at hand and become a miser who can't go anywhere."
Takahashi Ryoko chuckled twice, and a string of pearl-like tears fell down, hitting the back of her thin and white fingers.
It is the most miserable thing to have a loved one die and a brother to kill you, but people cannot help themselves when they are in the world. I have seen the same example countless times.
When there is a dispute over huge wealth or reputation, the ugliness in human nature will be vividly displayed.
Humans are advanced primates. Although they are at the top of the food chain, there is animality hidden in their souls. Once it breaks out, they will be more cruel and shameless than beasts.
Ryoko Takahashi is a very beautiful girl, from her hair to her toes, she is so white that there is no flaw.
At this moment, her long eyelashes were hanging deeply, casting two shadows on her pure white cheekbones.
Her figure was already astonishingly slender, but it was cold in the middle of the night, her clothes were thin, and her shoulders were shaking slightly when she sobbed softly, making any man who saw her want to pity her and protect her.
"Ms. Takahashi, turning the page is the right choice. Everyone has a last resort. I hope these things that happened on Kyushu Island will have a good ending!" I could only comfort her in this way. Besides,
I can't think of a more tactful sentence.
"My eldest brother has been looking for dragon slayers during his lifetime. In his collection of books, he has exhausted all existing dragon slaying books in the world. He once told me that dragon slayers must exist, and the dragons of the East China Sea also exist. Only slaying dragons,
Only in this way can we ensure the safety of the island country. I guess his idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace must come from the ideas of the Takahashi family going back three generations."
With a flick of my mind, I connected the Takahashi family with General Takahashi in the War of the Worlds.
The general appeared in the big bomb incident and left a sentence that puzzled the world. The original meaning is: "The dragon is more terrifying than the big bomb. The dragon is more terrifying than the dragon. The dragon palace is hell.
Hell is in the deep sea, the age of island nations has not yet come, and some heroes must be born after death."
Looking through the 1944 and 1945 sections of "Chronicle of the War of the Worlds", you can find this passage said by Takahashi Nagayama.
This is official history, not unofficial history. It was written by historians from island countries, Europe and the United States.
Facts have proved that many senior people in the world have also confirmed that Takahashi Nagayama has indeed said the same thing countless times.
Similar remarks can also be seen in the Modern Information Electronic Library of the Antiques Survey Bureau.
"Well, I hope these things will not continue to ferment and cause panic among the people. If there are definite clues, they can be handed over to the local police department and the Baidao officials can continue the investigation, okay?"
Takahashi Ryoko shook his head: "No, Mr. Ye, my idea is that this is a matter for the Takahashi family and will never be handed over to outsiders. I will seize the time to sort out the documents and give the extracted information to my second brother."
I was shocked. Takahashi Ryoko's choice was too generous. Ordinary people would definitely not choose this way.
Brothers are fighting each other to the death.
She is the younger sister, so she should hate her second brother Guiyan very much, and she cannot stand on Guiyan's side in a short period of time.
"Mr. Ye, I said that this is a matter of the Takahashi family. Our ancestral precepts say that everyone must obey the will of the family. This is the only unchanging truth." Ryoko Takahashi explained.
Her eyes shone with perseverance, gradually clearing away the tears and sadness.
I could only nod in agreement: "Very good, very good, very good."
Ryoko Takahashi bit her lower lip gently, her white teeth shining in the light.
"Mr. Ye, tell me, what happened at Dulong Bingzhu Temple in Daxue Mountain? Why did you give up again after you found the Yin-Yang Doll?"
It’s difficult for me to answer Ryoko Takahashi’s question.
The yin and yang dolls have always belonged to the Giant Wood Museum, to Qin Chengpei and Kasha.
Our research on the two dolls did not go in depth, but we were entangled in the Lanke chess game and the snow-capped mountains becoming immortals.
Of course, the internal turmoil in the Antiques Investigation Bureau put me through an unprecedented test.
Fortunately, the Bureau of Investigation automatically activated the "Atlantis" backup plan and successfully rescued itself, thus avoiding an unprecedented catastrophe.
"Mr. Ye, please look at this -" Takahashi Ryoko opened the white backpack slung over her shoulder and took out a bunch of keys.
There are more than twenty keys in total, of different styles, and some of them are rusty and extremely old.
"As long as you ally with me, these will all be yours. In order to slay the dragon and fulfill the Takahashi family's legacy, all of my brother's wealth, including the Ichiyome Museum, will be given to you. How about that?"
I didn't expect that the weak-looking Ryoko Takahashi would have such perseverance and would be willing to spend huge sums of money to slay the dragon to the end.
In the end, I rejected Ryoko Takahashi's request. She wanted to know everything about the Yin-Yang Dolls, but what I could explain was what I knew. As for higher-level secrets, they were within the confines of the Antiques Investigation Bureau's secret discipline.
It is not allowed to divulge it to others at will.
Takahashi Ryoko was a little disappointed and slowly put away the key: "Mr. Ye, I'm very sorry. I still overestimated my ability and thought that I could impress you with this wealth. My brother said that you are very interested in the Ichiyemu Museum.
I'm interested, I thought I could form an alliance by giving the museum to you, I'm sorry, it was too rash, please forgive me."
Takahashi Ryoko stood up and walked out slowly.
Her back was so thin, as if she had been completely crushed by the tragic news of Isao Takahashi's murder, and could no longer hold on. If I refused to help, it would be her end now.
"Miss Takahashi, if there is a glimmer of hope, I will help you, but the matter of slaying the dragon is extremely far away and very slim. Even if Aoki said so much, no one knows how much of it is credible, so
It’s better to take care of yourself, there is still a long road ahead.”
All secret investigation and exploration work in the world cannot be accomplished overnight. Some investigations last for more than ten years, but in the end there is no definite result. The Takahashi family has been seeking to slay the dragon for nearly a hundred years, and it may not be possible to pass it down to the generation of the three Takahashi brothers and sisters.
There are real results, so this is my best advice. I hope Takahashi Ryoko can understand that this is the world of rivers and lakes. The waters of rivers and lakes are too deep and cannot be controlled by one or two people.
Takahashi Ryoko walked out and closed the door behind her back, and silence returned to the room.
I thought of the dream I had, and suddenly felt that when the Six-Eared Heavenly King came to Kyushu Island, he should be the gathering point for all the secrets.
He belongs to the highest echelon of Tantric Buddhism and must know more details than anyone else, so he is the one who is closest to success. He is also the one Aoki needs to fawn over. With so many people in the world and so many cases of unknown origin, as long as he keeps an eye on Liu
The Ertian King will reap benefits.
I turned on my computer and searched for news from the Internet, and suddenly a message came into my eyes. The whole content of this message only had five sentences: "Dragon Palace was discovered in the East China Sea, and the Dragon King is in it. Masters of the Tantric Buddhism from the Snow Mountains have arrived at Jiuzhou Island and are preparing to go to the sea.
Slay the dragon, the dragon slayer who has been sleeping for thirty years is awakening. The doomsday crisis caused by the big bomb has passed, and the era of dragon slaying is about to come..."
