The day when a bathhouse was opened in Japan

Pandora's voice suddenly became cold: "Mr. Yamamoto, I advise you not to do that. Anyone who takes off this mask and sees the face behind is already dead."

These words were extremely chilling and cold, and Yamamoto couldn't help being startled, but he said bravely, "Hmph, I just don't believe in this evil!"

He reached out his hand towards Pandora's mask.

Chapter 426 Three Artifacts

Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian held their breaths, both wanting to see the real face of this legendary female monster thief.

Suddenly, Yamamoto uttered a scream and fell to the ground, convulsing continuously and foaming at the mouth.

Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian were taken aback, and looked at each other: Could it be that this strange thief can do magic tricks?

Only the female monster thief sighed faintly: "I tried to persuade you, but you just didn't listen. However, you didn't have time to lift my mask, so I won't kill you, you will only sleep here for three days and three nights .”

After finishing speaking, the female monster thief arched her body, grabbed the beam with her bound hands, untied her feet, and landed lightly on the ground. on the rope.

"I see, she has an anesthetic needle in her mouth!" Xiaoqian leaned over and said, "Just now Yamamoto lost consciousness because of the anesthetic needle shot from her mouth."

So that's the case, Zhao Wei nodded.

The female monster thief threw the rope on her body aside, rubbed her wrists and said, "Really, I don't feel sorry for you at all, it hurts my wrists to death."

She squatted on the ground, picked up a bag, and rummaged through it: "It's all broken... Mr. Yamamoto, that guy Watanabe is really mean to you!"

After flipping through a few times, she threw away her bag, sat on a chair in the room, and meditated: "Someone has already boarded here first, damn it, who did it...Forget it, let's go back first." Japan, make another plan, but you can't leave until the storm stops...then what am I going to do during this time?...that's right!"

Pandora stood up and walked out. Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian hurriedly hid aside, watching her every move closely.

Pandora came out of the room and walked towards the deep ditch that Zhao Wei found last time. Then she stood still and stared blankly at the pile of bones without saying a word. .

Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian stared at her every move, Zhao Wei's heart flashed: Last night, the skull that returned to the skeleton's neck inexplicably, was she the one who did it?

I saw that Pandora carefully wrapped the dagger* inserted into the skull with white silk, and put it in a box carefully. Then, she neatly stacked the bones and placed them on a relatively clean platform, then knelt down After kowtowing a few times in front of the bones, he stood up again, brought an iron box over, unscrewed the lid, and poured the liquid inside on the bones.

A strong and pungent smell of gasoline came over, and Zhao Wei immediately understood that she wanted to cremate the skeleton.

Sure enough, the female ghost thief lit a match and threw it into the gasoline, and the flames blazed up all of a sudden. Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian could feel the compelling heat from a long distance away.

The hot bones crackled, but the temperature was not enough to burn all the bones to ashes, but the female ghost thief didn't seem to care. Gradually, the fire went out, and she put part of the ashes in the remaining bones. Picked out, carefully collected into a white porcelain bottle, and then sealed the bottle.

Then, she said to the white porcelain vase, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely find the three artifacts that you spent your whole life searching for and bring them back to Japan."

"Miss Catwoman, please wait a moment. If the three artifacts you mentioned were unearthed here, then of course they should stay in China."

The female ghost thief turned her head in shock, and saw Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian coming out of the hiding place.

"Ah, I didn't expect it to be so lively here, handsome guy, we meet again." The voice of the female monster thief was very charming. She glanced at Xiaoqian and said coquettishly, "Also, she is not a catwoman, it's a movie The character in the movie, someone with a name, a handsome guy can call me Pandora, but, hehe, your female partner is really diligent in changing, it seems that the one you hugged yesterday is not the lady behind you."

Zhao Wei laughed awkwardly: "You misunderstood, the girl yesterday has nothing to do with me. Well, wait, you met me yesterday?"

"Yeah, it was here at that time, you were hiding in the corner over there with that girl in your arms, and I passed in front of you, your expression was so nervous at that time! Haha!" Pandora covered her mouth and laughed, "However, Come to think of it, it's really cute!"

Zhao Wei was surprised: "It was so dark, can you see us?"

"Oh, as a phantom thief, things like night vision goggles are standard equipment!" Pandora pulled down the goggles on her head to cover her eyes, "Here, I can see everything clearly now. "

"Hehe, so that's the case, um, where did I say just now, oh, by the way, the three artifacts you mentioned were unearthed here, then, those things belong to the Chinese, you can't take them with you Let's go." Zhao Wei said righteously and sternly.

Pandora asked curiously: "Handsome guy, are you a Chinese anti-smuggling policeman?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary Chinese." Zhao Wei shook his head, "But I have the right to prevent you from stealing the things here."

Pandora laughed: "You are really cute, handsome guy. First of all, the three artifacts of Yamatai are Japanese cultural relics. My grandfather spent his whole life trying to find them, and even risked his life for this, saying goodbye to being pregnant. With his wife, he came to the Chinese battlefield under heavy fire to engage in the research career that he was most obsessed with in his life."

"Hmph, Japanese cultural relics? Then why were they unearthed in China? Also, your grandfather was just a member of the Japanese army that invaded China. Even if he is a researcher, the research he is engaged in is also based on the invasion. , Don't forget this point!" Zhao Wei said seriously.

Pandora was taken aback, and then laughed: "Well, I don't deny that the research he was doing in China was indeed supported by the military at that time, but let me tell you why Japan's national treasures such as the Three Artifacts are hidden in China on the island."

"The three artifacts in Japan are Bachi Qionggouyu, Tiancongyun Sword and Yata Mirror. According to records, these three artifacts were enshrined in the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Atsuta Jingu in Nagoya and Ise Jingu in Ise City. According to the relevant records in "Kojiki" and "Nihon Shoki", the three artifacts originated from Amaterasu, a symbol of the dignity and orthodoxy of the Japanese emperor, and their status in Japan, as an analogy, is equivalent to China's national jade seal."

After hearing Pandora's words, Zhao Wei was even more confused. Since it is such an important thing, why did it come to China?

"However, it is puzzling that neither the Imperial Palace in Tokyo, Atsuta Jingu Shrine or Ise Jingu Shrine can provide the outside world with photos or any verifiable information to prove the existence of the so-called three artifacts. The legend of the artifacts has always been shrouded in a veil of mystery. Based on this, many people believe that the so-called three artifacts are just legends. However, my grandfather didn’t think so. After his research and deduction, he concluded that the three artifacts whereabouts, in China."

Chapter 427 Pandora's grandfather

Xiaoqian couldn't help asking: "What is his basis?"

Pandora replied: "It is recorded in "Three Kingdoms · Wei Zhi · Waren Biography" that Himihu of Yamatai Kingdom in the Yayoi period was 17 years old when the Japanese country was in chaos. With the power of Tao, Queen Himiko of Yamatai Kingdom was made king together, and the internal strife in Japan was pacified. However, she lived in seclusion and handed over the country's political affairs to her younger brother to assist her in governing, while she lived in a deep palace with thousands of maidservants serving her. Consolidating the regime of Yamatai, Himiko became friendly with Cao Wei, and sent envoys to visit Cao Wei several times in order to gain Cao Wei's approval. Finally, the expensive diplomacy finally paid off. Gold Seal. Eight years later, Himiko died. Although the cause of death is unknown, most researchers believe that she died in war. After Himiko died, Yamatai Kingdom once again fell into civil strife."

After listening for a long time, Zhao Wei didn't know what happened, and asked, "What does what you said have anything to do with the Three Divine Artifacts?"

"Because, it was Himiko who buried the three artifacts on this island on the way to visit Cao Wei when sending envoys!" Pandora smiled slightly, but Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian were shocked by what she said.

"Because no one has ever seen the so-called three artifacts in Japan. Some historical books also record that during the long-term war, the three artifacts have long been lost, and the later ones are all imitations. And my grandfather according to China, North Korea And Japanese ancient books, after years of painstaking research, put forward his own point of view, he believes that the three artifacts in Japan that have been recorded in various records have long been imitations, and the era when they were replaced was the legendary Yamatai Kingdom Period. Himiko knew the way of ghosts, and she had already foreseen that after her death, Yamato would eventually be defeated by the rising Yamato country. In order to prevent the three artifacts symbolizing orthodoxy from falling into the hands of the enemy, Himiko secretly asked herself to send an envoy to visit Cao Wei I took the three artifacts out to sea and hid them secretly on an island near mainland China. Since then, the three artifacts have left Japan." Pandora said, "And my grandfather, after studying the charts between Cao Wei and Wa, finally determined The burial site of the Three Artifacts is the islands in this area, so during World War II, the Japanese military carried out military projects on many nearby islands, in fact, the real purpose was to find the legendary Three Artifacts.”

Zhao Wei thought for a while and asked, "Why did your grandfather look for this?"

"Because he is a child of a declining samurai family. He and his younger brother were deeply influenced by their father's Bushido thought. They swore to be loyal to the emperor since they were young. In that way, he took the road of joining the army, so he decided to find the real three artifacts for the emperor to show his loyalty and honor the lintel. From then on, he devoted himself to the research of various historical materials, and finally put forward his own point of view, which shocked the Japanese historians at that time. It also got the emperor's attention."

Pandora was silent for a while, and then said: "At that time in Japan, militarism was prevalent, His Majesty the Emperor was a god, and it was the golden rule of all Japanese to dedicate everything to His Majesty. Under such circumstances, the Emperor desperately needed himself The personal authority of the emperor, and the long-lost three artifacts are exactly what he longed for and wanted to obtain, a token of the emperor's authority and orthodoxy. Therefore, the emperor secretly sent people from the military department to assist my grandfather on the islands in this area. Carrying out an expensive survey and archaeology, I want to find the legendary three artifacts. My grandfather was so valued by the emperor. I couldn’t help myself with excitement. I immediately bid farewell to my pregnant wife, came to China, and began to search for the three artifacts on the islands in this area. After finding the whereabouts of his family, he never returned to Japan.”

"But didn't he find it?" Zhao Wei asked, "Isn't this the place?"

"Yes, he finally determined that this island is the place where the three artifacts are buried. However, nearly 800 years have passed, and it is not easy to find three small artifacts on this island! Just It took almost all of his time in China to determine which small island it was. By the time the excavation officially started, it was already July 1942. Just one month after the Battle of Midway, Japan had already lost the initiative in the Pacific Theater. Japan's defeat in the war was actually only a matter of time from then on."

"However, the madness in the Japanese island became more and more violent. Everyone howled to swear allegiance to the emperor to the death. This situation also made the military department's work on the excavation of grandfather even tighter. However, at this moment, Grandfather fell into irreconcilable ideological contradictions. He was indoctrinated with militarism since he was a child and swore to be loyal to the emperor. However, he buried his head in old papers for many years. Because of the various crimes committed by the Japanese army in China, his conscience was tormented every day, which also affected his motivation to find the whereabouts of the three artifacts, so his grandfather began to sabotage intentionally or unintentionally, and even secretly let the prisoners on the island escape. Chinese laborers who are forced to work. The military department noticed the change in his thinking and arrested him on charges of treason. According to the trial of the military court, he was supposed to be sentenced to death. But without him, the search for the three artifacts can only be done. The fetus was stillborn, so the military force forced him to continue to participate in the excavation and search, and let him commit crimes and meritorious deeds. However, his grandfather, who had been tortured in prison for several years, had already turned into a dead body. The superstition has been completely shattered."

"However, as a historian and an archaeologist, he has devoted his whole life to the search for the three artifacts. The three artifacts have become his spiritual support, everything to him, and his survival. Therefore, he agreed to the request of the military department and started the excavation work again. However, at this time, it was already 1944, and Japan’s last madness, the Kamikaze special attack operation, had just been launched under the initiative of Vice Admiral Takiro Onishi. , and my grandfather's younger brother is one of the members of the Kamikaze Special Attack Team."

"When the news of my younger brother's death came, my grandfather had a complete breakdown. He was insane. He was in a daze every day at the base, sometimes shouting long live the emperor, and sometimes shouting to use the power of the three divine weapons to revive Himiko and let her use ghost The technique of Tao called back the soul of the younger brother. The people at the base saw that he was crazy, so they ignored him. In this way, until September 1945, 9, when the news of Japan’s unconditional surrender came, all the people in the underground base cried bitterly. , and then left the base and surrendered to the squadron on land, but it turned out to be the grandfather of the lunatic, but he laughed, took out the short knife prepared in advance, and committed suicide."

Zhao Wei and Xiaoqian were silent. A person whose family was ruined by militarism finally ended in tragedy.

Chapter 428 Goodbye Tokyo!

After Pandora told the story of her grandfather, she slowly said: "And I, after learning this story from my grandma, I decided that in the future, I must fulfill my grandfather's last wish and find the three artifacts so that he will not be able to rest in peace. The tormented soul has a comfort somewhere in the dark.”

After listening to Pandora's words, Zhao Wei was silent for a while, and said: "Your grandfather is worthy of sympathy, but the three artifacts must not fall into your hands. You just said that your grandfather saw the Japanese army in China. Inhuman atrocities, the conscience is tormented, so the best way to comfort him is to find the three artifacts, and then write this story, so that all Chinese and Japanese will remember this history. At that time, the three The artifact should be displayed here, and a memorial hall will definitely be built here to bring this dusty history to light, so that the soul of your grandfather, as well as the souls of those innocent Chinese laborers who were killed, will rest in peace."

Pandora opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhao Wei in front of her. Her heart was turbulent, and she was obviously shocked by Zhao Wei's words.In the past, she only thought about her grandfather, but never thought about what Zhao Wei said.Is it right to do what he said?

Pandora was confused.

Xiaoqian admired Zhao Wei, she nodded and said: "You are right, I support you, when the time is right, let Hattori Sento donate the cost of building a historical exhibition hall here!"

Zhao Wei looked at Xiaoqian gratefully: "What you said just now is really powerful!"
