Chapter 212: Water Cut

Oh, I'm too old to remember things clearly, so the girl will stay here for the night. The old man said.

"I said it, we're not evil, Grandpa Xiang just looks fierce. ”

However, at this moment, the old man suddenly unstruck his sword at a lightning speed, and he almost cut the woman's throat directly.

The woman trembled and fell to the ground, as if before she could react to what had happened, she only felt a murderous force suddenly appear and disappear.

"Grandpa Xiang, what are you doing here?" the young man pushed his sword away.

"Just give her a try, sure enough, she has never practiced martial arts, just an ordinary woman. The old man put away his sword.

"Lock her up! The old man commanded.

"Childe, please don't be impatient. ”

"Let it go...... Let go of me! Let go of me! Childe, before you...... Didn't you say it before, you ...... Aren't you a villain?" the woman was forcibly dragged away by another man, and she couldn't help but be startled, and then she shouted loudly and incoherently.

"Grandpa Xiang, didn't you say it before? We Pakistani people are only ruthless to the enemy, and the Emperor of the Empire once taught us that we must not kill innocents indiscriminately!"

"The old servant should have the courage to ask the son, when he encounters an outsider, he will not kill him with a knife, but bring him back to our camp, do you know how much disaster this unsecretive behavior will bring us?"

"In the past, the bloodline of the Emperor of the Emperor, now there is only one grandson left of Gongzi and you, and we are bent on restoring the country, isn't it all for Gongzi you?"

"But ......," the boy wanted to refute.

"Having said that, this is the first time that Childe has paid attention to a woman, and you have reached the age of knowing Shaoai. ”

"It's just a woman left and right, and when Ba Yushi returns from the victory, he will take it away for the son, but let her accompany the son to the left and right, with the heart of the son, how about it?"

Soon, night fell, and the atmosphere in the camp became even more chilly.

At this time, Wang Xuanqing took out the fish intestine sword, cut the rope that bound his limbs, and patted the dust on his clothes.

In terms of the current situation, the young man I met before was only worthy of locking a heavy strength, but he was quite respected in this camp, and his status was not low.

Originally, I wanted to wait for an opportunity to approach, capture it in one fell swoop, and decapitate it as soon as possible, but I didn't expect this doll to be so simple and easy to deceive, but instead took the opportunity to let her blend into the camp.

But what I didn't expect was that there was still an old man with a four-fold earth lock left behind in this big camp, and the power of the previous sword was not as good as the realm of the three-fold ground lock, and if I really wanted to fight alone, I was afraid that I couldn't afford it.

It is better to avoid a head-on confrontation and escape under the cover of night.

Fortunately, when he was in the school palace before, Ji Xuan taught himself a set of "Hidden Shapes" that could hide his body, and now it can come in handy.

At this time, at the foot of the mountain to the southwest, in the upstream water source, a dark figure was pouring a bottle of liquid into the water flow.

"Block the upstream and downstream water sources, and the rest is none of my business. ”

Although this hill is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the water source is only this one in the southwest corner, as long as the water supply of these people is cut off, they will naturally come here to check, and at that time, they can start the pot and make dumplings.

Because what he poured into the water was the venom of the birds.

The plover, which is a legendary poisonous bird. Put its feathers in wine, it can poison and kill. Legend has it that the use of wool or dung in wine is highly poisonous.

Living in the Lingnan area, the bird is slightly larger than the eagle, with mostly purple plumage and green belly and wing tips.

The Pentateuch says that its poison stems from his food. There are many snakes in Lingnan, and the birds feed on these cold and hateful animals.

Of all the snakes, the plover is the most fond of venomous snakes, the plover is the most fond of ear pitters, and of all the ear pitters, the plover pits are the most fond of pit heads.

Of course, these frightening toxins do not bother the birds, on the contrary, they are enjoyable. "Cao Muzi" carefully explains the principle that the bird is not afraid of snake venom.

After they eat the poisonous snake, the kidney secretes mucus containing a strong breath, extracts the snake venom, and begins to boil the poison.

Snake venom is gradually broken down until it becomes something more delicate than powder. Eventually, the powder permeates the bird's skin with sweat and gradually evaporates as it flows along the feathers.

Because of this, the feathers of the plover contain great poison. Tap it with a feather in the water, this water is called "Wen plasma", and if you drink it, your life will be lost, and your flesh and bones will be broken when you wash your hands. But the meat of the plover is non-poisonous and can even be said to be a delicacy.

In addition to the snake-eating bird, another surprising move of the plover is its great strength. With a flick of its wings, the bird can push away a rock that even an adult man can't move. This caused a lot of trouble for the hunters.

Mei Yaochen, a native of the Song Dynasty, wrote in a poem about the activities of Lingnan hunters seeking birds. He mentioned that before setting off on the hunt, the hunter holds a special prayer ritual and strikes the bones of the plover, looking for cracks to determine the direction of the hunt.

Even so, tens of thousands of people die every year from hunting.

The poet writes here and cannot help but lament that the life of the people of the south is so hard that they often have to risk their lives to hunt these worthless birds.

In fact, Mei Yaochen did not understand the value of the bird.

Although the people of Lingnan rarely use the poisonous feathers of the birds, there are countless high rollers from the north who carry boxes of gold, silver and jewelry to buy them.

Buyers from the north believed that the fresher the feather, the more poisonous it was, and it would not be easy to detect after killing.

The Lingnan tribes value the bird's eyes, which are vermilion. After the hunters in Lingnan hunted and killed the birds, they gouged out their eyeballs and soaked them in mercury for 30 days, and the eyes turned into ruddy and lovely gems.

It is said that in ancient times, the tribal chiefs of the south used deerskin decorated with the eyes of the eagle as a dowry for marriage, and some used it to decorate gold and silver products.

The scariest thing about the plover is, of course, its feathers. Wine, also known as alcohol, has been mentioned as early as "Zuo Biography". Crossing the wine with the feathers of the plover, the wine is highly poisonous, that is, the wine, and the drink is immediately dead.

It has no color or smell, but it can be dissolved in wine. Of course, this is only an exaggerated legend, in fact, many poisonous wines are not just scratched with the feathers of the birds, but are also mixed with some kind of poison (such as aconite, poison arrowwood, poison hemlock juice, etc.), but people are also used to call it wine.

Nor can it be configured at will, which requires the presence of skilled healers, thus differentiating a Yin Owl profession called "Owl".

Protected by rhinoceros horns and animal skins, these poison-making geniuses also approached the stunner tremblingly, and the slightest carelessness would set themselves on fire.

There are many records in ancient books about the death of the donkey wine and the suicide of drinking the wine, and the origin of "fear of the donkey to endure thirst" and "drink the donkey to quench thirst" originates.

Poisoned liquor, made by infiltrating certain poisonous substances into the wine, has always been used as a weapon for killing. Some ancient historical books, such as the "Historical Records" and the "Book of Han", have records of this aspect.

"The Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty: The Biography of Shen Zhigao" said: Emperor Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty was worried that the prestige of the minister Zhou Ben (Xu Zhixun) was too high and difficult to control, and wanted to kill him. Once, Li Yu poured a glass of "wine" and gave it to Zhou Ben.

Zhou Ben sensed the emperor's intentions, and divided half of the wine with the imperial cup and said: Give it to the emperor to show that the monarch and the ministers are single-minded.

Li Yu immediately changed color, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, Shen Zhigao, who was acting and playing music for the emperor, saw this scene, walked up while dancing, took Zhou Ben's wine and said: Please give it to me by the emperor.

After speaking, he drank it all, took the cup in his arms and left. Li Yu immediately secretly sent someone to give Shen Zhigao with the antidote, but before the medicine arrived, Shen Zhigao had already died of "split brain". Although the original text does not say the details of the split, it sounds creepy enough.

History records that when LΓΌ Buwei was given death by the King of Qin, he drank the wine, it is said that the bird is a kind of bird, the feathers are poisonous, enough to kill, so the poison in the Chinese is usually called "the bird".

Some people think that in "Lisao", "I ordered the bird to be the matchmaker, and the bird told the rest to be bad; the song of the male bird passed away, and the rest still hated its cunning" is to say that Qu Yuan saw the beauty of the female Rong country, so he asked the bird as a matchmaker, and the bird refused and stayed away from him. Then he wanted to use Xionglu as a matchmaker, but he was "hesitant and suspicious". In fact, this explanation is a little wishy-handed.

The bird is highly poisonous, and it cannot become a matchmaker, Li Shangyin's poem "How the Green Sparrow Communicates with the Bird" obviously inherited Qu Yuan's intention, but it's right to think about it, even the bird can be used as a matchmaker, and it can be speculated that the poison of lovesickness has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

However, some scholars in later generations have researched and verified that "Yu Linglu is the matchmaker" not only expresses Qu Yuan's thoughts, but also reflects a method of bird hunting in ancient times, that is, using birds to lure wild birds into the net to catch birds.

"Ouch, it's finally done, and then I'm waiting for the group of people to come to the door in the dark. At this time, the black shadow finally took off the mask that he had been wearing for a long time.

"If that doesn't alarm you, then I'll probably have to show up myself and lure you into the bait. Ling Hao looked at the looming fire in the camp below the mountain, which was the performance of the other party patrolling the camp.

Ling Hao had also spent a lot of money before to buy off a healer in Xianyang City who had specially equipped suicide poison for the Qin royal family, so he could be regarded as preparing the poison needed this time.

Before he came here, he had studied the topography of this dirt mountain, this place is steep, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road leading to the mountain, so as long as most of the people go up the mountain immediately, these people can detect it at the first time.

In order not to arouse the vigilance of the other party, he decided to go up the mountain alone, so he decided to work with Wang Xuanqing to personally carry out this task of extermination.

In addition to poison and daggers, he also buried a secret weapon in a dirt slope by the way, believing that it would soon come in handy.

It was a treasure he had found in the exchange shop - a simple landmine.

The early mine structure of the ancient mines in Shenzhou was relatively simple, mostly stone shells, filled with gunpowder, a set of transmission mechanisms were placed in the receiver, when the enemy stepped on the motor, the falling rocks in the box fell, and there were also mass mines that used a fuse to control the explosion.

This is an explosive firearm that was set up underground or above ground in ancient times.

Consists of a mine shell, a charge and a detonating device. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty (early 15th century), Shenzhou began to use landmines in warfare.

"Ming History Chronicle: King Yan Raised Troops" records that in the second year of Jianwen (1400), during the battle of Baigou River, "firearms were hidden in the ground, and people and horses encountered them, and they were rotten".

Early mines were relatively simple in structure, mostly stone shells, filled with gunpowder, sealed and buried in the ground after the fuse was inserted, and camouflaged. When the enemy approaches, the fuse fires, detonating the mine.

Although it sounds very simple, it is slightly difficult to restore it with the traditional techniques of this era.

Therefore, this mine is a disposable, and if you want to use it next time, you can only wait for the exchange shop to refresh.

The reason why I decided to use it here is also because I am afraid that some people will not be asleep in order to prevent future troubles.

In addition, if you take away the shrapnel that remains at the scene after the explosion after the mine explodes, I am afraid that when the others come here again, they will be confused and do not know what happened here.

But now, it doesn't seem like it's necessary.

There seems to be some kind of commotion in this camp, and it seems that the wife's side has succeeded.
