Chapter 921: 519

Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara, Sean Knight was also completely baffled when he first heard this term.

So he searched the Internet, and not knowing was one thing, but upon discovering, Sean felt his blood was about to burst out!

Could this thing still exist?

Literally, Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara refers to an Avalokitesvara statue modeled out of blood and soil.

However, this blood and soil were the creation of Matsui Iwane.

Who was Matsui Iwane? He was the leading culprit behind the Nanjing Massacre!

Born in Nagoya, Japan, in 1878, Matsui Iwane had participated in the Russo-Japanese War and possessed extensive combat experience. He had stayed in China for almost 30 years and was a Sino-expert. From 1937 to 1938, Matsui Iwane was appointed by the Japan Army as the Troop Commander in the recruitment of soldiers for Nanjing. Due to his incitement and encouragement, the Japan Army committed the horrific "Nanjing Massacre."

The Japan Army’s atrocious acts were exposed to the international community, and Japan faced strong condemnation from the international society, forcing them to recall Matsui Iwane back to Japan to escape public scrutiny. On the eve of his return, this demon arrogantly claimed he was the "hero who occupied Nanjing, conquering China."

Before departing, he specifically went to Factory Town, an area along the river where countless innocent people and heroic defenders of Nanjing City were buried, to retrieve ten wine goblets of bloody earth and bring them back to Japan.

After Matsui Iwane returned to Japan, he ordered the creation of a 2-meter-tall Avalokitesvara statue from the ten wine goblets of bloody earth, mixed with local soil. In the Atami area south of Tokyo on Mount Izu, a good location was chosen according to fengshui, facing towards Nanjing, China. A ceremony was held, and the Avalokitesvara statue was placed, establishing the Avalokitesvara Temple.

He would come to kneel and worship from time to time, muttering under his breath, delusionally hoping to conquer China with the divine power of Avalokitesvara.

The term "Xingya" was also chosen for the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" theory of the Mikado.

In Matsui Iwane’s mind, the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" was a supremely powerful and dignified Japanese Empire, so to him, all Chinese people who resisted were barbarians that must be conquered barbarically.

In 1945, when the Mikado announced Japan’s defeat and surrender, Matsui Iwane was sentenced to hanging by the international courtroom and the evildoer who had committed numerous atrocities finally went to hell.

However, in Japan, there were still fanatics obsessed with the holy war, including the descendants of Matsui Iwane’s family, who were such fanatics. Therefore, they purchased the property where the Xingya Avalokitesvara statue stood.

Not only this, these people also secretly buried the ashes of Japanese war criminals like Tojo Hideki, Hiroshi Oshima, Seishiro Itagaki, Kimura Heitaro, Matsui Iwane, Muto Akira, and Hirota Koki who were stolen from the hands of the American Forces, next to the Xingya Avalokitesvara statue, and then erected a monument called "Monument of the Seven Warriors."

Seeing the sparse information about the Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara online, Sean had a slight doubt:

Does the Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara truly exist, or is it someone’s fabrication?

Otherwise, why is there so little content about this Avalokitesvara available on the entire internet?

Are the documents false, or is someone intentionally hiding it?

Sean felt that it was necessary to go and see for himself!

Of course, Sean chose to believe it was real—because Japan at that time was capable of committing such atrocities!

Suppressing the rage in his heart, Sean continued to look at the documents.

This investigative report stated that the Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara was real, and so were the memorial tablets being offered.

However, the main reason these people worshipped the Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara here was not to suppress the wronged spirits but to hide another secret!

When Matsui Iwane occupied Nanjing City, he not only carried out the inhumane massacre but also looted a large quantity of money there.

The supplies that were looted were transported to Japan, and although most of it was turned over to the military and confiscated, a portion was secretly stashed away by Matsui Iwane.

Matsui Iwane, his descendants, and followers were fanatical militarists, so even after Japan’s defeat, they still deluded themselves with the thought of reviving the "Xingya" "responsibility"!

According to the investigation, the Xingya Avalokitesvara Temple was the place where those supplies were buried as a treasure.

Based on analysis, this treasure is worth at least One Billion US Dollars!

Sean flipped through the report over and over again and suddenly felt there was something fishy about it!

The content of the report emphasized the real existence of the Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara. The origins of this Avalokitesvara statue and specific details were described with considerable precision.

There were data and timelines, with very clear evidence.

But when it came to the treasure, it became vague—the words "it’s said," "according to the investigation," and "guess" kept appearing.

If you look at the entire report, the feelings about these won’t be obvious.

Setting aside the descriptions of the Bloody Earth Avalokitesvara and just focusing on the part about the treasure, one could see that it mostly amounted to speculation.

There was hardly anything that could be verified.

Sean suddenly had a bold guess:

Was the writer of the report a person of Chinese Heritage, or someone with a grudge against these old Japanese soldiers?

Perhaps the purpose of writing this report was to arouse the desire for the treasure in the person receiving it, and then to incite them to go to the Xingya Avalokitesvara Temple, causing destruction, thus achieving some goals!

Having regained his composure, Sean patted the report in his hand and shook his head, murmuring to himself:

"Interesting!"

He didn’t know how many people had seen this report, but he figured there wouldn’t be many who could resist the temptation of "One Billion US Dollars."
