Chapter 17, Zhiyang Ancient Knife

Ling Chenxuan gently unzipped the leather suitcase, and everything inside suddenly caught the eyes of the three of them.

Gu Fangyan's breathing stagnated slightly for a second.

It's like opening a long-sealed past.

The box contained a lot of things, divided into three compartments, the first of which was neatly stacked with a deep, cold ink-colored uniform.

Ling Chenxuan spread his uniform in the air, and the slender uniform slid down like water, looking a bit like the long trench coat he was wearing. The material of the uniform is different from that of ordinary clothes, and the appearance is tight and delicate, even if it has been stacked in a box for several years, there is still not a single wrinkle to be found at this moment.

There is little frills on the uniform, with a yin-yang fish motif stamped on the right chest, and two smooth dark gold silk weaves extending from the collar to the hem edge, and the figure of the person wearing this dress is sharp enough to cut through the heavy night when he is on a mission.

It's like a work of art.

"Sure enough. Cheng Xinuo said in a low voice, "This is a special execution suit made by the Dao Alliance, which is exclusively for exorcists." ”

Gu Fangyan stared at the exquisite execution suit in Ling Chenxuan's hand in a daze, and at that moment he suddenly imagined the appearance of that man wearing it, incredibly majestic and heroic, like a warrior wearing his armor.

Ling Chenxuan continued to unzip the second mezzanine, the second mezzanine had two sides, it was hard to imagine that this box that didn't look very big actually contained so many things.

This mezzanine is covered with scarlet spirit runes, and the vigorous ancient rattan rice paper is smeared with cinnabar to outline a sharp and mysterious pattern, like the open mouthparts of an insect.

The dense patterns are hideous and dazzling, with the ultimate madness, and each spirit rune exudes bloody charm and sorrow, like an evil spirit in hell opening its eyes, making people shudder.

"A lot of blasting talismans, these spirit runes are powerful enough to collapse a building. Ling Chenxuan folded the uniform and put it back in place, and sealed the spirit rune with a solemn look in his eyes. On the other side of the mezzanine are several actuators, each of which is striking.

A small M9 pistol, a large number of special cinnabar bullets, and a bunch of excess bullets scattered in a small pile, the warheads are carved with magnificent carvings. There was also a collapsible dagger that curved like the claws of a beast and was tightly squeezed into the grooves by a leather belt, exuding a chill.

This leather case is simply a small refill station for exorcists, and any exorcist in a desperate situation will be possessed like a god of war once they get their hands on it.

Ling Chenxuan opened the third mezzanine, and the next moment there was a rare trace of confusion in his eyes.

A long, narrow soul control knife lay silently in the groove at the bottom of the leather case, and the protruding wooden wedges on both sides of the groove firmly stuck the long knife, and the two almost merged into one.

"What is this?" Cheng Xinuo's eyes widened.

Ling Chenxuan bent down and pressed his index knuckle against one of the wooden wedges in the groove, and used his dexterity to push out the Spirit Control Knife, holding it in the palms of both palms.

If the spirit rune just now seemed to be an evil spirit opening its eyes, then this long knife was like a scale plucked directly from the demon's body.

The scabbard of the Spirit Knife is so beautiful that even the most exceptional designer can't imagine it. It doesn't feel like a bloody weapon at all, but more like a priceless thing in the warm light of a museum.

The blade is covered in silver gray, and the climbing silver dragon divides the scabbard into three parts, and the hideous dragon claws tightly gather to form the bottom of the scabbard, and the part that connects the middle is Sen Ran's sharp bone wings, which is a bit like wa

The sleeping gargoyles in 3 point to the final point like a pilgrimage with bone wings, as if in a sacred mourning.

At the very top of the scabbard was the head of the silver dragon, and the entire scabbard extended from its great mouth to form an inseparable whole. The handle is surrounded by a raised silver embossing so that the user can hold it firmly, and at the end of the handle is engraved a Tai Chi diagram symbolizing the balance of yin and yang. The whole long knife is gorgeous and unobtrusive, even if there is a lifelike silver dragon, it looks slender and elegant, with a bleak cold weapon beauty.

"It's beautiful. Ling Chenxuan said softly, his palm carefully caressing the jade-like cool scabbard, as if a mother was caressing her sleeping child.

"The scabbard is a kind of hornless dragon, some Oriental people in ancient times believed that the dragon in Chinese mythology could soar like a bird in the sky, so they imagined a pair of giant wings similar to eagles or bats, they all symbolized bloodthirsty and arrogant. "The claw pattern on the Spirit Blade was wrapped around the scabbard like vines, and the ancient carved patterns loomed in the light obliquely from the balcony.

"But no matter how I look at it, it feels like a town house treasure knife sold by a tourist attraction, and it doesn't work......" Gu Fangyan spit out an inopportune feeling, and he immediately regretted it.

Ling Chenxuan slowly pulled out the long knife, the blade of the knife slid out of the scabbard silently, the blade exposed to the air was as smooth as snow, and the dim light sprinkled on it, and the reflected halo illuminated the entire room transparently.

"Have you ever seen a knife with a blood groove on it? Like all knives, it was created to kill. Ling Chenxuan weighed the blade of the Spirit Sword, the long jade-like blade was wrapped in a rich murderous aura, with a kind of loneliness that had been deposited for thousands of years, as if it could cut through time when wielded.

Even after sleeping in the leather case for several years, the moment the long knife was unsheathed, it still seemed to have a thousand powers, and the invisible coercion was released violently in all directions.

The Xuan Ring on Ling Chenxuan's right index finger suddenly hissed violently, and the Obsidian Mithril in the outermost ring of the ring was deforming and expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a sharp sound slashed across his eardrums like dagger.

"Zhiyang ......" Cheng Xinuo stared at the Spirit Controlling Knife in Ling Chenxuan's hand with a vigilant expression, as if there would be life awakened in the knife.

"Narrow and straight blade, small blade, long handle, this should be a Tang knife, but its age is too old. ”

Ling Chenxuan knew this kind of weapon, he had seen it in the knife science book in the branch library before, the most obvious difference between the Tang knife and the Fusang knife was that the blade of the Fusang knife had an obvious arc, with a kind of feminine and cold coexistence of the beauty of the knife. This long knife is full of the poignant elegance unique to Fuso knives, even when slashing and killing.

The Tang sword, on the other hand, had a curved handle and a straight blade, and although its toughness may not be as strong as that of the Fuso knife, the blade was strong and sharp, and the durability and penetration of this weapon were perfect in ancient times. In ancient times, the soldiers of the war were all wearing armor, and the Tang knife could cut more than a dozen people in a row and the blade was continuous, if it was replaced with a Fusang knife, it was estimated that the blade would be destroyed without cutting a few people, so the generals of the Fusang country would sometimes carry a large bundle of long knives behind them when fighting, and cut off one for another.

The Tang sword has both the beauty and nobility of a long sword and the power of a saber, which is very suitable for high-ranking generals. According to the prototype of the Tang knife, the Fuso people imitated the blade that now dominates the world, but the Tang knife disappeared in the long river of history at some point, and now only a few Tang knives are protected in the museum.

The weapon used by exorcists thousands of years ago was the Tang knife in Huaxia, the blade was hard and could cut through armor, and it was once the mainstream weapon of exorcists.

But later, with the passage of time, the Tang knife gradually became unsuitable for use in the execution of tasks. The blade of the Fuso knife has a certain arc, so it can be dragged when chopping, and the wound caused is from deep to shallow, this weapon is more suitable for people with strong arm power, and the arm strength of the exorcist who activates yang blood is comparable to that of Batman. The exorcists of this era are more in pursuit of extreme violence and higher efficiency, so the Fuso knife has become their best choice.

But in fact, the Lingling knife created by the Huaxia branch is not a pure Fusang knife, it also has a little shadow of the Tang knife, the cutting edge adopts the current top quenching technology, and the blade body is made of refined recycled metal, and the hardness and toughness are comparable to the traditional jade steel.

"As early as a thousand years ago, an emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered the most superb foundry of the imperial court to secretly build the first batch of spirit control knives in history day and night, and even asked the most famous psychic master in the East to bless them with spiritual power. Nowadays, it is clearly recorded in the historical materials of the Dao League, that only the two original spirit control knives have been preserved intact, one of which is worshiped day and night in the Fusang branch, and the other is preserved in the headquarters of the Dao League. ”

Ling Chenxuan put the knife into its sheath, and suddenly the light in the entire room dimmed. "The spirit sword preserved in Fuso has a history of more than 600 years, and the spirit knife left in the headquarters has a history of thousands of years, the ancient foundry master with our incomprehensible and unparalleled technology to create a true sense of the sun's sword, it is said that it was the emperor's imperial sword, specifically responsible for guarding off evil spirits, can be called the uncrowned king of the spirit sword, is the ancestral knife of the exorcist. ”

"But the ancestral knife mysteriously disappeared six years ago, but strangely enough, the headquarters did not respond to the theft. ”

Cheng Xinuo pointed to the Spirit Knife incredulously, "That ancestral knife shouldn't be the knife in your hand, senior?"

"I was about to ask that question too. Ling Chenxuan raised his eyes and looked straight at Gu Fangyan who was not far away, his eyes surging with an undercurrent...... Enmity.

Gu Fangyan looked at Cheng Xinuo as if asking for help, but found that a trace of doubt also flashed in the latter's clear eyes.

He couldn't help but take a step back.

It turned out that the feeling of being hostile was like this, like a long knife against the throat, and even the air became extremely oppressive.

Just now, the two of them were there discussing what kind of spirit sword, and neither of them noticed that he looked like he wanted to escape.

It wasn't until a brief moment of curiosity that he realized that everything in the box had been the same thing that the man had been carrying, and that the man had carried the same leather suitcase when he had gone out of the house. But the man's smile was as peaceful as candlelight, but he carried a whole box of lethal weapons.

Perhaps the man hid everything he had at an early age, and when he was at home, his mother often complained that he didn't help her clean the room, while he nestled on the sofa and muttered that the oranges he had peeled for Gu Fangyan neatly on the plate.

No one knows how many lost people he has slashed with his sword in the wind and rain alone, draped the night over his shoulders, like King Kong's angry eyes, and his incomparably sharp long knife slashed through the thick black mist.

No one knows that in this inconspicuous leather suitcase, there is another world of men.

Gu Fangyan never thought that his father would be as majestic as a hero, with a blade-like killing intent in his eyes. He is a loving father and an exorcist who hovers on the tip of a knife.

What else did he say that he and Ling Chenxuan belonged to different dimensions, in fact, in the final analysis, he still didn't dare to face it, the door of the new world slowly opened towards him, but he just wanted to retract into the original cave and continue to live the same life.

That kind of life is sometimes really boring, after several years of compulsory education, into the society, when people reach thirty, find a person who is neither good nor bad, and then find a job, go to work every day.

So the door to the new world was closed to him forever, and the messenger who had taken him at the door turned away and never to see him again.

Now that paranoid man is still staring at you coldly, like a lost man trying to snatch his enchantment. With his schoolgirl, everyone was still huddled on the sofa yesterday to grab chicken legs, but as soon as you touch the cold and hard shell of the exorcist, the people who used to chat and fight with you will raise their knives to you.

For a moment, he even foolishly thought everyone had become ...... Friend.

"Anyway, I'm going to have to take this knife back to the school. As if realizing that his current attitude was a little indifferent, Ling Chenxuan retracted his gaze, his eyes as indifferent as water.

"But, but this is something my dad left behind......" Gu Fangyan replied hesitantly, as soon as the words came out, his heart was at a loss, since the man brought back the knife, did he hope that he would be able to hold the handle of the knife one day? But is he really qualified? Ling Chenxuan is so bullish, the person who breaks the cow should be equipped with a knife that is also bullish.

"Of course we won't take your stuff for nothing, half a million dollars, and buy you this knife. Ling Chenxuan said.

Gu Fangyan was stunned, "No...... That, this knife ......"

He suddenly felt embarrassed about himself, as if he had done something wrong.

"It's understandable that you don't want to give us the knife, you can even bring someone to the school with the knife. Our Daomeng is still very kind to our own kind.,Since we're all exorcists.,Shed the same blood.,It's a family.,To be honest, I'd like to make a friend who likes anime as much as me.。 Cheng Xinuo smiled like a confidant sister.

"I'm not going, I don't want to go, the hell knows what kind of black organization you have there!" Gu Fangyan shook his head vigorously like a rattle.

"Even now, don't you want to admit the fact that you are yang blood?" Ling Chenxuan said with an expressionless face.

"It's not that I don't admit it, isn't your Xuan Ring not reacting to me now, if I'm really an exorcist, then there should be that kind of yang energy magnetic field. Gu Fangyan looked unwilling to die and struggled.

The more you know about something, the more you can't get rid of it, and the more you want to get rid of it, the deeper you get into it, such as ...... Secret. The endless mire was pulling him into a bottomless abyss, and all he could do was struggle, even if it was meaningless.

Cheng Xinuo scratched his thin eyebrows in annoyance, "But since your father is an exorcist, then you also have some inherited yang blood in your body." Besides, the yang blood in your body has not been activated yet, so of course there will be no yang energy magnetic field. ”

"Damn, then why did the damn Xuan Ring suddenly ring when I met Ling Chenxuan the day before yesterday, could it be that it was also pit me, in fact, it was just in a bad mood and squeaked casually, right?"

Ling Chenxuan silently explained on the side: "There are also rare cases where the yang blood in the body begins to activate spontaneously from birth, but-" The next moment he suddenly stopped speaking as if he realized something, and glanced at Cheng Xinuo silently, the latter's expression was the same as usual, as if he hadn't heard this sentence at all.

"There are many reasons, such as people in a state of tension will speed up the blood circulation inside the body, the external environment will also have an impact on the human body's magnetic field, our first encounter was on a rainy day, the humid space may change your magnetic field frequency, and eventually cause your biocurrent to be sensed by Xuanjie. ”

"Big brother, you're a science student, right? I don't understand your technical terms. Gu Fangyan was dumbfounded.

"I have a more direct way to prove your identity, depending on whether you want to or not. Cheng Xinuo grinned evilly, and the little tiger teeth loomed.

…………

Living room on the second floor.

Ling Chenxuan sat straight on the sofa, looking grim like the executive director of a courtroom, and Cheng Xinuo was sitting on his side tinkering with her white suitcase. Gu Fangyan, who was on the opposite side of the coffee table, was sitting precariously, like a good student listening carefully.

Cheng Xinuo carefully took out a platinum-colored test tube from the suitcase, the outer layer of the test tube was translucent, faintly revealing a fluorescent red liquid, the liquid boiled silently in the test tube, and it looked like a flowing flame from a distance.

The mouth of the tube is tightly sealed with a metal stopper, as if it were filled with a deadly poison.

"This is our Dao Alliance's secret Yang Blood Activator, which can forcibly awaken the sleeping Yang Blood Cells in the exorcist's body with the help of the activation factor, so that his Yang Blood concentration will reach a state of 'fullness' in an instant. The Daomeng branch has a dead rule that any new student entering the school must voluntarily drink the activin before reporting, otherwise the school has the right to turn them away. Cheng Xinuo crossed his arms and leaned on the back of the sofa.

"This thing...... It shouldn't be poisonous, right?" Gu Fangyan's eyes flashed with a hint of fear.

"Of course it's not poisonous, there will be professional medical staff responsible for checking the physical condition of the new student within half an hour of drinking it, if the new student does not have any abnormal reaction within half an hour, it means that the new student's yang blood concentration is lower than the minimum value stipulated by the school, that is, it is unqualified, does not have the conditions to become an exorcist, and will be sent home directly, of course, we are obliged to compensate for the round-trip ticket. ”

"On the other hand, if the new person has a burning sensation, a tingling sensation, or even a pure pleasure in his body, it means that his yang blood concentration has been successfully activated, and the reaction is only a brief adaptation process when he accepts the ability. After the effect of the medicine is over, you will officially become a living exorcist, and you will be supervised and protected by the Dao Alliance organization for the rest of your life, and perform the duties of an exorcist when necessary, and guard all the secrets and truths you know for the rest of your life. ”

No matter where you are, whether you are growing old silently in a quiet and remote no-man's land or being alone in the vast sea of people in the city, there will be an invisible silk thread behind you that will closely connect you with the organization.

There are countless exorcists around the world who are just as lonely as you, who may exist inconspicuously in a collective, or who may live under the bright light, but they all hide the same fiery yang blood as yours in their bodies. They are scattered in all corners of the world, and each exorcist is actually an inseparable whole, blending into a huge, red-hot web that lasts for millennia on this cold blue planet.

If you think about it this way, you may not feel a little ...... at times Alone.

Cheng Xinuo pushed the activator in front of Gu Fangyan, "What kind of boy, do you want to prove yourself?" But I declare in advance that from the moment you choose to drink activator, your previous life is likely to be completely buried with the awakening of yang blood, since God has opened a door for you, he will definitely close another window, and you must make a choice from it." ”

Gu Fangyan held the test tube in front of him in a daze, and the liquid in the test tube was still vaguely boiling, as if it was alive. It's so beautiful, it makes you want to keep looking at it like this.

It's like a big gamble, and the ultimate bet is yourself.

But why use your life as a bargaining chip, just to prove that you can actually be very good? Since there are so many exorcists in the world, it doesn't matter if there is more or less of him, right?

"To drink, or not to drink?" Cheng Xinuo's eyes disappeared from the smile at some point, and he just looked at him quietly.

The two on the sofa sat up straight, staring at Gu Fangyan expressionlessly, making him feel that he was facing a wedding photo from the last century.

His fingers slowly climbed the test tube, only to find that cold sweat had already oozed from his palm, and it was cold to the bone on the smooth test tube wall.
