Chapter 34: Sword Qi
The room smelled of medicine. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the small red clay stove, the liquid medicine in the clay pot is tumbling and gurgling.
"Hiss ......"
Lei Zhe took out three short black arrows and sniffed them on the tip of his nose, and then threw them into the water bowl in his right hand.
The water in the bowl became turbid at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a strange fishy smell faintly escaped.
"Sure enough, it's the strongest mixed poison in the mountains...... It's okay to see blood seal your throat!"
Yan Bo's face turned pale when he heard this, "What a thief......! Lei Chi kid helped to abuse, why did the son spare him and cover him up?"
"Spare him?hmph!" Lei Zhe sneered at the corner of his mouth, "God knows this, he knows it, I know it, I can cover it up for him today, and I can naturally ask him about it at any time in the future...... Let's spare his life, and he will use it in the future!"
For those who want to kill themselves, whether they are pawns or behind the scenes, Lei Zhe will never forgive easily, forbearance and disguise for a while, just to sit firmly on the throne of the patriarch, and when the time comes, the power of life and death is in his hands, and there are thousands of ways to make them unable to survive or die.
"Besides, wouldn't it be nice to treat others the way they did?"
Lei Zhe smiled slightly, took out the wet mask soaked in special medicine and put it on, then poured the bowl of poisoned water into the medicine jar on the clay stove, and slowly stirred it with bamboo chopsticks.
After a while, a more pungent smell of medicine spread.
Yan Bo accidentally inhaled a mouthful, and immediately his mind was in a trance, and his heart was horrified, and he was busy and closed his breath, and exited the room.
Lei Zhe looked attentive and muttered: "The mountain barbarian's poison mixing method is somewhat interesting...... If you want to get rid of these odors, you really have to work hard. ”
The mountain barbarians know little about pharmacology, and the same is true for the use of poison, often collecting all kinds of poisonous weeds, poisonous bacteria, poisonous fruits, poisonous juices, snake venom and toxic minerals, regardless of the pharmacology, randomly mixed together, called mixed poison.
Every time the poison obtained by mixing poison is strange, or the toxicity of various poisons inside, the final comprehensive drug properties are only slightly toxic, lightly toxic, or extremely toxic, and even some unknown changes and increases between various poisons, and the toxicity increases to an unimaginable level, and it cannot be replicated.
This method of mixing poison is simple and crude, but its chaotic and strange toxicity often makes the old doctor helpless, and it is quite a bit like punching the master to death.
……
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, in Yan Bo's anxious and worried eyes, Lei Zhe finally pushed the door out and handed him a bamboo pipe the thickness of a finger.
"You go for it yourself, don't show a trace!"
Yan Bo wanted to speak and stopped, and finally left as ordered.
Lei Zhe watched his lean but sturdy figure flicker a few times and disappear outside the courtyard wall, his eyes contemplated: "Come and don't go, it's rude!"
"Lei Hong, Lei Bin, today you failed to use Lei Chi and Lei Ju's hand to "mistakenly kill" me, I must be very sorry and annoyed...... This gift has drained my soul a lot, and I hope it will soothe your wounded hearts!"
"Hehe......"
……
Tea Kung Fu.
Yan Bo returned quietly and did not speak, but his old face was quite gloomy.
Lei Zhe didn't ask much, pinched his chin and said, "It's time to visit Tielu too......"
Different from the previous low-key, Lei Zhe hugged before going out this time, more than ten people together with "forwards" and "guards" are not counted, and in addition to Yan Bo, there are three good players at the level of "Ten Captains" alone, even if Lei is in person, the three of them can join forces to compete for a while.
Perhaps Lei Zhe's victory in today's big exam and a series of outstanding performances have finally settled down the hearts of the patriarch's subordinates, and their strength before and after the saddle is obviously a lot more attentive, and their words and demeanors are respectful and high-spirited.
It's like Lei Shuo, who once almost became a substitute for Lei Zhe, every time he looks at Lei Zhe, there seems to be fear looming in the depths of his eyes, obviously that experience left him with a very deep psychological shadow.
Seeing that Tie Lu was in sight, Lei Shuo hurriedly asked for his life: "Childe, the little one will report first......"
Lei Zhe bowed his head slightly, Lei Shuo was overjoyed, as if he had won great glory, and he improvised and walked away quickly.
said that it was a "report", but in fact, it was mainly to check whether there was any abnormality in Tielu.
In a trance, Lei Zhe couldn't help but have a sense of déjà vu as a big leader and a leader, and secretly sighed in his heart: "No wonder Xiang Yu watched the grand occasion when Qin Shi Huang went to Huiji to play and crossed the river on a huge ship, and he would say: 'He can take his place!'...... The charm of power can be seen from this!"
……
After hastily eating dinner, Luo Ying avoided her sullen grandfather and parents, and went back to her room early to practice the Baiyang Secret Scroll, but she was impetuous, and it was difficult to enter the best situation for a long time.
Seeing the joy of Lei Zhe's victory in the big exam flashing by in the daytime, the worry that my sister still had no news surfaced in her heart from time to time, like a fish in her throat.
Even if her grandfather and father were tight-lipped, she was faintly aware that her sister was already unlucky.
Compared with the sadness and discomfort, she felt more helpless and weak.
From a very young age, she knew that this was a wild and sinister world.
Whether it is the Lei clan, the Zhuang clan, or many mountain barbarian tribes, they are all struggling to survive in this semi-closed world.
Peaceful and stable life, old age, sickness, and death are considered rare happiness, and it is normal to die at an early age, die unexpectedly, and die a beast kiss to go out without returning.
She clearly remembers that when she was four or five years old, her mother added a chubby younger brother, and her grandparents were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut all day, but the younger brother gave a few mosquito bites in the summer, and then ...... And then there is no more!
Now the only thing she can do is to live well in place of her sister, and if she can get lucky to learn about her sister's murderer in the future, she should take revenge, if not, she can only stop it.
There was a sudden commotion outside, and Luo Ying vaguely heard the words "Childe is visiting ......", and she was overjoyed, and hurriedly left the room, but learned from her father that her grandfather accompanied Gongzi Zhe to the sword room.
It was a heavily guarded place in the family for generations, and even the father could not enter it without the permission of his grandfather.
……
Lei Shu Fuzhong.
Several cases are full, and the rare mountain delicacies and game are displayed on the plate one by one at this time.
"Old decay and respect the patriarch of Zhuang again......"
On the main seat, Lei Bin raised the short and fat lacquer-eared cup with both hands, and gestured to the Zhuang patriarch at the bottom left.
"Big brother, please!"
The patriarch of Zhuang, whose cheeks were red and slightly drunk, was still polite, and he drank the cup with his sleeves hidden, and praised for a long time: "Good wine! Good wine...... The color is like amber, sweet and mellow, soft and rigid, and the aftertaste is long...... What wine!"
"Uncle Zhuang is a good hand, in a word!" Lei Shu praised in time, "This wine is made of five grains with wild fruits, cellared for three years, used in winter, boiling water is hot, and it is the most mellow...... It's good if Uncle Zhuang likes it, and the little nephew will give Uncle Zhuang another cup!"
The pupils of Lei Wei next to him shrank, such a good wine, why have I never heard of Lei Shu who has known Lei Shu for so many ......years? It seems that Lei Shu has been planning for this for a long time, and began to pay attention to the details of Patriarch Zhuang's life three years ago, and even knows exactly what flavor of wine he likes.
For a while, Lei Fei's thinking diverged, and he was vaguely aware of the series of events that had happened recently.
Lei Shu didn't know that the information he casually confided was almost leaked, so he still ordered his attendant: "Go and burn ten catties of wine again...... Tonight, I got drunk with Uncle Zhuang. ”
……
The airtight corridor leads to the mountain wall, and the triple iron door at the entrance of the cave is opened one after another, and the front suddenly opens up, revealing a stone chamber with a square circle of three zhang.
The four walls covered with axe chisel marks reveal rows of finger-thick copper nails, most of which are sheathed and unsheathed swords in pairs.
In the three niches facing the entrance of the cave stood more than a dozen spear heads and spearheads of different shapes, and the sharp edges reflected the moist oil under the light of the torches.
"In the nearly forty years since the old man took over the armory, many masters have created thirty-seven new swords, guns and spears, except for those selected and cast in large quantities by the first two generations of patriarchs, and the rest of the models are all here......"
The white-bearded and white-haired anvil man said slowly, and his eyes flickered as he looked at Lei Zhe.
"Well, these are the fruits of the wisdom of all the great craftsmen, and they really need to be carefully preserved...... Time has changed, maybe one day there will be a suitable one, and it can be mass-produced according to this model!"
Lei Zhe casually took off a thick blade that was half a zhang long, like a horse chopping knife, and checked it, "It's a little heavier, and few people use it, but this working committee doesn't really say it...... This model is actually the result of the experience, skills and painstaking efforts of all the great craftsmen, and it is a sharp weapon with a handle!"
When it comes to weapon reserves, the largest number is the arsenal in the clan, the best quality is the patriarch's secret arsenal, and the highest potential and the most immeasurable are none other than here!
"Childe's eyes are like torches......"
The anvil took off a sheathed sword, and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath, and the hollow spine like a bloodletting groove was extremely eye-catching.
"Qiang ......"
The sound of the sword is like a spring whispering, refreshing people's hearts.
Lei Zhe was suddenly cold, and wisps of cold qi continued to penetrate into his body from hundreds of millions of pores, penetrating the eight veins of the Qi Meridian and the five internal organs...... That feeling is ten or a hundred times more uncomfortable than being immersed in the ice water of the cold winter wax moon!
Even the innate true qi that has been circulating all the time has been "frozen", almost stagnant, and it is no longer vibrant.
For a while, the turbulent waves in his heart were indescribable.
"Who can see that the swordsmanship of the Anvil Gong is so exquisite, he controls the momentum with his qi, and the sword is not out of the sheath, that is, he can hurt people in the invisible transcendent realm with his sword qi?"
Lei Zhe's face was pale, and he spoke with difficulty, and suddenly a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
"Yes...... A skilled swordsmith is often also a master of swordsmanship, otherwise how can he forge an outstanding sword blade?"
"A wise man thinks a thousand times, and he will make a mistake...... This time I was indeed careless, I am curious, what kind of promise did Lei Shu make to the Anvil Gong to drive the Anvil Gong to be a river pawn?"
"The Anvil Duke should understand that once you have my blood stuck to your hands, no matter who sits on the patriarch's position in the future, your Tielu will be razed to the ground!"
"How dare the old man kill the master?" The white beard of the anvil man trembled, and the dim old eyes that had been staring at the blade of the sword in his hand burst into lightning, like two sharp swords stabbing into Lei Zhe's eyes, making his eyes ache and almost shed tears.
"There's just something I want to ask my son......"
Lei Zhe guarded his mind and reluctantly said lightly: "If the elder asks, I should know everything, and I will say everything." ”
Yan Bo was less than three zhang away from the entrance of the cave, but he didn't react to the old guy's actions, and he didn't seem to be able to hear the specific conversation between the two, obviously the old guy's sword aura was extremely restrained and strict.
It is not difficult to see that this old guy's power is beyond imagination, whether it is swordsmanship attainments or internal strength realm, it has reached an unfathomable level.
Lei Zhe was not sure that once he lied, the subtle abnormalities of mental fluctuations could be concealed from this old guy.
