Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 444 Fucheng
"Earth vein spikes? God of war? Trying to waste our time?"

In the safety zone set up by Mr. Rabe, a group of young men from prominent families, led by the old patriarch of the Wang family and the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Ren, were assisting Wang Zizhong, the heir of a family of doctors, in treating the injured and sick refugees in the safety zone.

After all, they are all children of the martial arts world, and when it comes to practicing Qi, medicine and martial arts are basically integrated. At a time like this, they cannot go out at will like Quan Xing, so they can only do these things to help.

When Wang Yi relayed the news he had heard from the two Japanese masters, Hattori Chiya and Takahashi Ryuji, to the two veterans, the old patriarch of the Wang family and Master Jin Guang, they both showed puzzled expressions on their faces.

"Why? With your experience, you two have never heard of these things?"

"It's not that I haven't heard of it. I have heard of the Earth Vein Nail. It was made in ancient times, of course, not that old, only about seven or eight hundred years ago. Some sorcerers from other schools refined it and gave it to their disciples as a kind of magic weapon. It is not necessary to use it against ordinary enemies. It is only useful when encountering a sorcerer of the same kind with a higher cultivation than yourself. It can break the formation. The method you use is similar. I am afraid it is used against you.

Using earth vein nails as a formation? I have never heard of it. It is difficult to refine these earth vein nails, and they are different from ordinary magic weapons. Without much trouble, you can find the veins of the formation and insert them into it. It can break a sorcerer's formation from the inside and cut off the connection between the sorcerer's formation and the world. Even if the Japanese use so many earth vein nails as a formation, it will make a big noise. If we react and destroy a piece of it, their formation will fall apart.

As for this military god, I can guess a thing or two."

"Artificially creating gods and bringing them into the world?"

After hearing what the old patriarch of the Wang family said, Wang Yi also reacted and took over his words.

Because he had indeed heard that the Japanese invaders in the early days of World War II were feudal and superstitious, and that there was a rumor among their ranks that they were blessed by the so-called military gods. To put it bluntly, they had won all the wars of foreign expansion in the past half century, whether it was the Russo-Japanese War or the war against the Qing Dynasty.

From the Japanese perspective, it was basically a case of defeating the larger with the smaller. In addition, the war was progressing steadily in the first few years after its outbreak. It was not surprising that the faith of such a huge number of living beings from the invading devils gave birth to a god called the God of War.

"Oh, it seems that you are quite knowledgeable. Have you seen this method?"

Wang Yi didn't really want to respond to Master Jin Guang's ridicule. He couldn't say that he had accidentally created such an artificial god's vest when he was pioneering in the American server, and that the person was now trying to do a big thing and wanted to transform from a god into a human.

"Since the two elders can't understand the connection between the earth vein nail, the God of War, and the formation, why don't we take advantage of the darkness now to find out the situation?"

"Ha, you did say something that makes sense. Since you put me here, I haven't moved much except for eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. It's a good opportunity for me to go outside and walk around."

Upon hearing Wang Yi's invitation, the old patriarch of the Wang family took out a brush from his arms, dipped it in the colorful Qi of his family's divine painting technique, and with a big stroke of the brush, he attached the divine Qi to Wang Yi and Master Jin Guang, then drew a gate to the world in the painting on the ground and entered first.

Seeing this, Wang Yi and Master Jin Guang did not hesitate to follow suit, and the three of them turned into three graffiti figures on the ground.

Wang Yi also took advantage of the divine Qi attached to his body. With a wave of his sleeves, the magnetic field Qi distorted the light, hiding the traces of the graffiti figures of the three people on the ground. He then found his way out of the safe zone again and began to wander around the city.

As I said before, the big cities in the core hinterland of the Republic of China cannot be compared with those in later generations. They are definitely big, and Shanghai, which is known as the "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands", is big, but an ordinary person can ride a bicycle around the city relatively easily.

As for Jinling City, there is no need to say more.

Although the main urban area is divided into District 1 and District 2, the longest straight-line distance from the east to the south of the entire city is only 11 or 12 kilometers, so even rickshaw drivers can walk across the city with their passengers on foot.

Taking advantage of the dual conveniences of hiding themselves in the magic paint and making themselves invisible by the magnetic field's true qi distorting light, Wang Yi, Master Jin Guang and the old patriarch of the Wang family wandered unscrupulously under the noses of the Japanese soldiers in the city, trying to find out what these Japanese native alien forces in the city were doing.

Mingtang didn't see anything, but Wang Yi and the others saw other things.

They saw that many Japanese troops were escorting captured Nationalist soldiers and civilians stranded in the city. They organized them into several teams and made them work as coolies in the city's main roads, the occupied Nationalist government office buildings, and several major public squares. Under the orders of the commanders, they built some temporary fortifications.

"What are the Japanese going to do?"

"It's probably for the so-called entry ceremony."

"I know this, but this isn't the Wang family's. Let's go to a higher place. I can't tell what the Japanese are doing under their feet!"

Hearing Master Jin Guang giving orders, the old patriarch of the Wang family began to move reluctantly. The three of them used the divine paint's free movement to move to a higher place. Looking down from above, Master Jin Guang finally understood what the temporary fortifications being built in front of them were.

"Are the Japanese building an altar?"

"Altar? These Japanese people know how to worship their ancestors? I thought they were all fatherless and motherless people."

Wang Yi ignored the old patriarch of the Wang family's verbal attack and just stared at the priest below who was wearing a haori and directing the Japanese officers to arrange and build the altar according to his requirements.

"Old man, let's leave here first and find a place to wait for me."

"You want to just grab a tongue and ask?"

"Yes, I will act alone. This way, even if the other party guesses what I am going to do, they will not think that someone on our side has mastered the method of concealment. I will try to deceive them for a while."

"Okay, be careful."

Patriarch Wang did not say much, and controlled the gate again, taking Wang Yi and Master Jin Guang away from the place where the altar was built. Then Wang Yi walked out of the gate, put away the divine Qi on his body, directly distorted the light, performed optical invisibility, and sneaked back to the place where the altar was built.
-
"Hurry up! The city entry ceremony and the victory parade will begin tomorrow. After these two ceremonies, there will be a more important sacrifice. If the construction period is delayed, no one can save you. Even if you commit seppuku, the God of War will not recognize you as the warriors of the empire!"

The priest was commanding the Japanese officers in front of him with an air of authority.

But it was obvious that these Japanese officers who were called to work in the middle of the night did not respect the priest very much, because they knew that the priest in front of them wearing a purple feather robe with gold edges was not a pure Japanese.

In other words, he is a spiritual Japanese.

This priest was originally a descendant of the Manchu royal family, but he was born at the wrong time. Before he could enjoy a life of luxury for a few days, he was driven out of the imperial city and moved to Tianjin.

The education he received since childhood made it impossible for him to adapt to the transition from a royal family to an ordinary person. Even though his life was still better than that of most people, he could not accept it. In his eyes, he was a member of the royal family who was high above everyone else.

If the emperor of the time passes away or abdicates one day, he will have the opportunity to touch the dragon throne and become the emperor. How could he fall into such a situation now?

At that time, many clan elders shared the same idea as him and were also seeking restoration.

Seeing that no one in the country paid attention to them, they contacted Japan and, relying on their clan status, got a boat to study in Japan.

He also showed his talent for cultivation, so it was natural for him to marry into a Japanese Shinto family and give himself a Japanese name, Tachibana Soichiro. Because of his contribution in the Fengtian Incident in 1931, he was able to join the Imperial Shinto forces led by Shintoism and formed by many Shinto sects, and also received the good job of building a temporary altar at the shrine.

So what if these Japanese officers looked down on me? They had to fight and die in the front to get military merit and promotion. I didn't have to do anything. As long as I could finish building this temporary altar, it would be a great achievement. By then, I could go a step further and maybe the Manchukuo outside the Great Wall would be able to compete with Emperor Kant.

Soichiro pretended to give orders and circled around the makeshift altar. When he found a deserted place, he took out twelve nails made of talismans from his arms.

Just as he was mobilizing his true Qi and silently chanting a spell to drive out the twelve earth vein nails, suddenly, a cold wind blew, causing the newly built altar to shake continuously.

The soldiers and civilians who were conscripted to do labor were in a panic, fearing that the altar would collapse and crush them.

The Japanese soldiers on guard around there kept shouting and cursing in Japanese and firing into the air in an attempt to suppress the situation.

"Why would such a thing happen at this time?"

The sudden strong wind made Soichiro temporarily give up the idea of ​​casting a spell. Just as he was about to go over to help, he saw the searchlight responsible for lighting suddenly went out, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

"Run!"

Someone among the workers shouted loudly, and these workers took advantage of the sudden chaos in the dark to flee in all directions. At this time, whoever could escape would be the best.

There was a burst of gunfire all around, and the constant flashes of fire made the area flicker.

The altar, whose frame had just been erected, collapsed during the workers' riot.

Before Soichiro could figure out the situation, he felt a gust of evil wind coming from behind him.

All the vital energy in his body suddenly dissipated, and he felt a large hand pressing on the back of his head, causing him to come into close contact with the floor in front of him and lose consciousness.

The riot lasted for half an hour before it was quelled after the Japanese army lit torches.

"Report! 76 injured, 98 dead, one missing!"

"Someone is missing? Who?"

"Priest Tachibana Soichiro."

"It's him, then treat him as killed in action, gather the wounded, and catch the Chinese who escaped. They are all free laborers in the city."

"Hi!"

Another Japanese officer did not seem surprised by Soichiro's disappearance. After explaining the situation, he took out a paper figure from his arms and said to it respectfully: "Mr. Kujo, Priest Soichiro was captured by Wang Yi."

After he finished speaking, he let go of the paper figure in his hand, and the paper figure floated towards the direction of the government office building with the blowing night wind.

The old patriarch of the Wang family and Master Jin Guang, who were waiting at the agreed location, also saw Wang Yi, who was possessed by the divine qi, bring someone with him and directly break into the world in the painting to meet them.

"Is this the tongue you caught?"

"A Japanese priest, he should know something."

"Well, I have many ways to pry open this guy's mouth. Wang Yi, wake him up and I'll ask him."

Master Jin Guang was eager to try, but was directly rejected by Wang Yi.

"Master, I have a more direct way."

"what?"

"Search for souls."

"You can do this? That old fellow Ghost Hand King is really generous. He can even teach you such a ruthless method."

"He has practiced the Eight Directions Reversal for his entire life, how could he have such skills? I figured it out on my own, please follow me so that you can see it clearly."

"How to do it?"

"Put your arm around my shoulders and relax."

"it is good."

Master Jin Guang and the old patriarch of the Wang family did as they were told, but Wang Yi still locked Soichiro's neck and used his tricks.

Magnetic field martial arts, radio waves into dreams!

As Wang Yi injected his brain waves into the unconscious Soichiro's consciousness, this guy began to twitch uncontrollably and foam at the mouth.

When Wang Yi brought Master Jin Guang and the old master of the Wang family out of Soichiro's consciousness, Wang Yi exerted force with his hands and broke the other's neck, sending him to hell.

However, Master Jin Guang and Old Patriarch Wang, who had already understood from Soichiro's consciousness what these Japanese strange people in the city were going to do, were now horrified.

The two men ignored the filth on Soichiro's body and searched out the twelve earth vein nails from his arms.

They looked at each other and then spoke.

"These Japanese are really crazy. They actually want to turn this place into a blessed city!"
