"God really helps us......" Ziyan said as he looked at the back of Sidia leaving.

"What now?" asked Qin Hua.

"Ask the lord's wife. Ziyan looked coldly at the army pouring out, and now the situation has become very simple.

The three of them returned to the City Lord's Mansion together, and Qin Hua found the location of his wife through the blood grain.

Ziyan, who was standing in the corridor, looked at the woman covered in blood, and the lady standing in front of the woman, and shook his head, instead of wasting time on such boring things, it was better to do something else.

"Ziyan, why are you here, Dilus?"

"Lord, he led his army to meet the enemy. Ziyan said lightly.

"Oh, did Sidia bring someone?"

"No, it seems to be the army of the Sand Country. ”

"Sha Guo?" Madame's eyes widened, "How could Sha Guo send someone?"

"I don't know, but I'm here now for some things I want to ask Madame for. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Actually, I've heard that Lord Diruth knows how to do slave business, and I want to find some people. ”

"Oh, well, do you have any requirements for slaves?"

"Strong, how strong you are. ”

"It's... I'm afraid not, we don't have such good slaves. ”

"No, it can't be, lords of such great power as you. ”

"No, there is, but it's too difficult to domesticate into slaves, and we ourselves are all guarded by heavy soldiers or simply killed. ”

"Domestication doesn't have to worry about Madame, as long as it's strong enough. Ziyan said.

"Alright, come with me. ”

Madame asked the woman to be locked up and waited for her to come back to dispose of it, and then took Ziyan and the others to the prison.

Outside the cell, there were two soldiers in iron armor and armed with spears, and inside the cell, a group of six soldiers who had just finished patrolling were preparing to leave.

"Ma'am. The soldiers saluted their wives.

"Where are the strongest slaves in the prison? ”

"Yes, ma'am. ”

The soldiers opened the way to the innermost part of the cell, and then opened the door, and a staircase appeared in front of everyone.

It's still a dungeon.

Ziyan followed them, and as soon as he walked a few steps down the stairs, he smelled a bad smell.

"Wow, what does this smell like?" Yu Qiandao frowned and stopped.

"It's dirty under the dungeon, so just pick a few more from above. Madame also frowned, not wanting to go down.

"How about you wait up there? I'll go down and see. Ziyan said.

"Okay, then I won't go down. Madame told the soldiers to go down with Ziyan.

"Qin Hua, you can stay up there too. Ziyan saw that Qin Hua also followed and said.

"If I don't go down, how can you tell which one is powerful and which one is not. ”

"I can, you wait up there. Ziyan looked at Chidori Road.

"......" Qin Hua turned his head and looked at Chidori, probably guessing Ziyan's thoughts, and said disdainfully: "Okay, okay, you have the final say." ”

After Ziyan went down to the dungeon, the smell became stronger and stronger, and there were many prisoners in the cells on the basement floor, most of them wearing white clothes and handcuffs, Ziyan looked at it and shook his head.

On the second floor of the basement, as soon as he went down, he asked about the strong smell of rotting corpses, Ziyan was a little unbearable, after going down, he saw a tiger in the prison on the left, and a strong man sitting on the right, walking a few steps, what monkeys, wolves, snakes, poisonous lizards, and all kinds of strange species, and at the end, Ziyan saw a minotaur on the left hand side and a white-bearded old man on the right hand side.

"What is this guy doing?" Zi Yan pointed at the old man, who was weak compared to those bloodthirsty beasts and vicious warriors.

"He's an orc. ”

"Oh. ”

When the minotaur heard the voice, he opened his eyes and was surprised when he saw Ziyan's back, but then calmed his expression.

At this time, Ziyan turned his head and looked at the minotaur: "What is this?

"No, it's a minotaur. ”

"Oh, is there still such an existence?" Ziyan looked at the minotaur with a look of surprise on his face: "Is this minotaur strong?"

"Very strong. ”

"That's it, and the warrior at the door. ”

"This ......" the soldiers looked at each other, "these two are extremely powerful guys, I'm afraid it will be dangerous for us to release them." ”

"Where's the key?" Ziyan asked, and the leader of the soldiers subconsciously covered his waist.

"This one really can't be opened. ”

"Your lady has promised me to pick a few good hands for me, as for whether they will listen or not. The corners of Ziyan's mouth hooked slightly, and a flame ignited from his hand.

"God-giver?" everyone was shocked, as the leader of the ninth rank of the human rank, he showed a sudden expression of realization, originally he was surprised that he couldn't perceive this guy's awakening rank, thinking that it must be a much higher rank than himself, and he couldn't perceive it when he hid it.

"Hurry up, open it. Ziyan withdrew the flames, and pretending to be a god-giver with a conscience is also one of the daily routines, but in fact, he hasn't awakened at all.

"But ......"

"Don't hesitate, speed. Ziyan became impatient.

"Then I'll go get the keys. The team leader thought for a moment and said.

"Isn't the key on you?" Ziyan said as he looked into the leader's eyes.

"Oh, these are not, we don't have the keys to these prisoners with us. ”

"Oh, your key with a red string is the key to my prison door. Seeing this, the minotaur spoke.

"Can you still talk?" Ziyan said in surprise, and then looked at the team leader: "Give me the key." ”

The team leader stepped back slightly: "It's really not good, I have to go and ask for my wife's consent first." ”

Ziyan hesitated slightly, the key was in front of him, if he asked his wife, what if he didn't agree?

......

Wolf: "What are you worried about? Just kill them, if you want to make a big deal, you can't hold back." ”

......

"Bring it, don't make me angry. Ziyan's expression became cold, and the lines on the left side of his face gradually burned.

The soldiers trembled when they saw this, and they all retreated slightly, wanting to slip away.

"I don't want to say it a second time. Ziyan walked straight to the team leader, and an invisible pressure made the team leader feel that he was almost out of breath.

Seeing that the leader was standing still obediently, Ziyan took a large set of keys pinned to his waist.

"This red rope?" Ziyan asked.

"That's it, that's right. The minotaur nodded.

With a click, the lock was opened.

"I advise you to be obedient, but if you want to resist, I don't mind hurting you a little. Ziyan said coldly to the minotaur.

The minotaur does not speak.

"Alright, open the door to that guy's room too. Ziyan came to the cell door on the right side of the stairs, and the soldiers were still looking at the minotaur vigilantly, and the minotaur with handcuffs and leg cuffs seemed to be really obedient and did not resist.

"This really won't work, this is an extremely dangerous guy, trust me, he won't listen to you. "When the team leader saw that Ziyan still wanted to release this big man, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"How dangerous is it? Tell me which key. Ziyan said coldly.

"This really doesn't work......"

"Say!" Ziyan became impatient.

"This. "The team leader found the key.

Then Ziyan glanced at the minotaur, and the minotaur came closer.

When he opened the door, Ziyan was also a little hesitant, after all, this was intended to be a disguise, what if it was really dangerous?

After opening it, the man seemed very flat.

Ziyan said coldly: "Come out, come with me." ”

In this way, several people returned to the ground.

When the lady who was waiting outside saw the minotaur and the strong man behind Ziyan, she was startled: "Why did you release these two?"

"Madame, don't worry, I'm going to take these two away and be my slaves, just as you give me a gift. How's that?" Ziyan said.

And at this time, Qin Hua glanced at the two of them, the Minotaur Qin Hua knew each other, and this man ......

The human emperor was a while, but not only that, Qin Hua saw the powerful and irritable blood particles in his body under the calm surface of the big man.

The sword is a long weapon with a sharp edge, and its size and length are based on the human body, and it is determined by the number of people. Zheng Ye also explained in detail about the sword, saying that "the shape of the human body is different in size and length, and the sword is made for its service, not to look directly at the beauty, but to make each suitable for its use." Therefore, it is a third-class system, so as to treat the third-class people, so that they can be convenient as they please. The stem of the sword is five inches long, and if the sword body is five times as long as its stem, it is three feet, weighing nine pounds, and it weighs three catties and twelve taels. Only the long and powerful one can then win it, so the sergeant obeys it. The sword body has four stems, the length of the stem is two feet five inches, the weight is seven pounds, then two catties and fourteen taels are also, the length is light and heavy, so it is called the middle system. Only those who have the middle are suitable to obey, so the sergeant obeys it. If the sword body stops three of its stems, then two feet of ears, heavy stop five qiang, then two catties of one two or three points of the middle ear, light and short, so it is called the next system. Those who are short in form and weak in strength can be served. ”

The above-mentioned sword system, probably used in ancient times, is still changed in the past dynasties, from Qin to Song, changed to especially Ju. Zheng Yiyun: "If you compare the sword of the Qin and Han dynasties with the sword of the Song Dynasty, the long sword of the Song Dynasty has twenty-one inches and three points, and the long sword of the Qin and Han dynasties is only seventeen inches and nine points. The short sword of the Song Dynasty was 15 inches and 2 minutes, and the short sword of the Qin and Han dynasties was only 10 inches and 5 minutes, so the sword of the Song Dynasty was longer than the sword of the Qin and Han dynasties, and the quality was better." That being said, there should be some evidence, but there is no disagreement. The purpose of the sword is not for killing, but also for the ornament of the scribe, but it is still mainly used to defend against the enemy, such as the long sword is inconvenient to use, the short sword is difficult to reach far, the short is light and not easy to hit, and the elder is heavy and slow to swing, both of which are not suitable for sword making. It is proved that there is a saying in ancient books: "Han Gaozu won the world with a three-foot sword", and the statement that the sword of the Han Dynasty was less than two feet long is wrong. If the comprehensive sword history records, the length of the ancient sword, ranging from one foot three inches to more than four feet, and its weight is two to three catties, which is in line with the person's design, and should be credible.

The sword is a kind of short soldier, born from the spear-shaped stabbing soldier and short dagger, originated before the Yin Shang Dynasty, the shape is extremely short, only a short flat stem, and no tube. The ancients used this sword to insert it into the waist, which can be cut and pierced to defend against bandits and wild beasts. In the Zhou Dynasty, especially in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it has become the main short weapon, and the soldiers must be armed. Even Feng Tan and Han Xin in the early Han Dynasty, although they were so poor that they had no food, still carried them with them. The famous ones are Ganjiang, Mo Ye, Longquan, Tai'a, Chunjun, Zhanlu, Yugu, Juque and so on. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there is still a Longquan sword hidden in the Forbidden City, which is still very sharp, which proves that China has a long history in the manufacture and use of swords.

The sword can usually perform three types of attacks: interception, slashing, and stabbing. Chinese sword development

The sword, the holy product of the ancients, is also the supreme and noble, and the people and gods are worshipped. It is the ancestor of short soldiers, the weapon of close combat, and with profound Taoist art, it has entered the legend of Xuan. In fact, because of its lightness, wear, and swiftness, the princes and emperors of the past dynasties, the scribes and knights, and the merchants and the common people are all proud of their perseverance. Sword and art, since ancient times, often across the battlefield, dominating the martial arts, standing up for the country, doing benevolence and righteousness, so it has been passed down to this day, still loved by the world, but also with its glorious history, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Si Ke has been passed down through the ages.

The sword was founded in the era of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. According to the "Guanghuang Emperor's Chronicles": "The emperor picked the bronze sword of the first mountain, and inscribed it with ancient astronomical characters"; The above two words, like the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, both made swords as soldiers.

According to the above, no matter who the founder of the sword is, there is no doubt that he was born in the era of the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor built a temple in 4615 BC (2704 BC), the country name is Xiong, and the fashion department has just entered the Bronze Age, but it can be deduced that the birth of the sword is extremely ancient and has a long history, so the descendants call it "the ancestor of short soldiers", which can indeed be deserved.

From the Yellow Emperor to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, most of the swords were cast in copper, and the sword quality was quite good, and the refining technology gradually improved. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the sword system was determined, and the method of sword making was described in detail. Zhou Li's examination of the Gong Ji Yun: "Zhou Guantao's is a sword, two and a half inches of Laguang, two and a half, and its Laguang is for it. The stem is round and twice as long. In its stem, after the service, the body is even five of its stems, weighing nine Qiang (according to: Zhou Li six two halves for a Qiang), said to be the upper system, on the soil to obey it. The body is four stems long, weighs seven gongs, and is called the middle system, and the sergeant obeys it. The body is three stems long, weighs five gongs, and the corporal wears it." Another archaeological record: "The sword, the name of the ancient weapon, has two edges and a ridge, from the back to the blade, which is called wax, or the sword (that is, the sword body). Below the back blade, it is separated from the handle, which is called the head (i.e., the sword plate), and the place below the head is called the stem (i.e., the sword handle), and the end of the stem is called Duo".

In the Shang Dynasty, there were historical records of sword-making in China, which were generally in the shape of willow leaves or acute triangles, and were originally made of copper. At that time, it was usually used as an auxiliary weapon under the long weapon, but in areas with many rivers, such as Wu and Yue, the sword was used as the main weapon due to the many water battles, and most of the famous swords of the Spring and Autumn period came from these areas. The "Ordos straight-handled dagger-style bronze short sword" unearthed from the Zhukaigou site of Yijin Huoluo Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is the earliest known bronze sword in China, about the 15th century BC in the early Shang period. This sword is 25.4 cm long, the sword body is approximately willow leaf shaped, thick ridge, double-sided blade, straight handle, there are two grooves in the middle, the handle is slightly ring-shaped, there are convex teeth on both sides of the junction between the handle and the sword body, the sword body is obliquely convex into a front, and the handle is wound with hemp rope. Differences between East and West

In both Eastern and Western civilizations, the sword is a weapon of relatively high status. In ancient China, the sword was known as the "King of a Hundred Soldiers" and was often used as a noble ornament. From emperors to literati, they loved to wear swords to show their status. In addition, the sword was also used as a ritual tool, such as in Chinese Taoist ceremonies, where it was often used as a weapon to subdue demons, and in Europe, it was used to canonize knights and knights, a practice that continues to this day.

Chinese sword culture

The swordsmanship of the Han Dynasty was very sophisticated, and the fighting swords showed the depth of martial arts. Cao Pi's "Classics: Self-Description": "Yu also learned fencing, read many teachers, and the methods of the Quartet are different, but only the Beijing master is good. Between Huan and Ling, there is the Tiger King Yue Shanshu, known as the Beijing Master. Henan Shi A Yan and Yue You, with its own method, Yu Cong A learned proficiently. Taste and drink with Pingyu General Liu Xun, Fenwei General Deng Zhan, etc., Su Wen Zhanshan has arms, Xiao Wubing, also known as he can enter the white blade empty-handed. Yu and the sword for a long time, said that the general is illegal, Yu Gu tastes good, and has good skills, because he asks for Yu to be right. When the wine is hot, Fang eats cane, and thinks that he is a cane, and he goes down to the hall to hand over several times, three in his arms, and laughs left and right. The exhibition is uneven, and it is even more so. Yu Yan Wu is in a hurry, and it is difficult to be in the middle, so he is arm and ear. Zhan Yan is willing to make a new hand, Yu knows that he wants to suddenly take the middle of the hand, because of the pseudo deep advance, Zhan Guo looks for the front, Yu but the foot?, is cutting off his chin, sitting in shock. Yu still sat down and said with a smile: "Xiyangqing made Chun Yuyi go to his hometown, and even gave him secret techniques. Sit down and have fun. ("Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, Emperor Wen" Pei Song's note) This impressive record reflects the superb swordsmanship and the prosperity of sword fighting at that time.

Yang Quan's "Theory of Things": "Ruan Shi's knife, by the spirit of the golden essence, July Gengxin, see the god in the gate of the smelter, worship to the west, the golden god to the water and fire, the chain of the five essences, with the yin and yang, take the sum of rigidity and softness, three years as a knife 1,770 mouths, the back of the knife clamping the blade, the square mouth of the head, cut off the slight and endless silk hair tie, cut the strength of the same as the difference. 」

Due to the rise of the ring-headed knife in the Western Han Dynasty and more in line with cavalry combat, the sword gradually withdrew from the war stage. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, swords were also regarded by literati and artists as ornaments to express the ambition of the clouds or to express the heroic posture of martial arts. "Book of Sui Etiquette" contains: "Yipin, jade sword, Peishan Xuanyu." Second grade, gold sword, water jade. The third grade and the founding son of the man, the fifth class of loose (scattered) products are named Hou although the fourth and fifth grades, and the silver sword, wearing water and jade, the service has been down, Tong Zhilang has been up, and the companion is like a sword. Those with straight swords, enter the temple and ascend to the temple, if they are in the battle, they will all untie the sword. A product and scattered (scattered) county duke, the founding prince Hou Bo, are both double-wearing. The second-grade, third-grade and founding sons of the country, and the fifth-class scattered (scattered) product Hou, are all only worn. The same goes for ribbons. ”

Jin Yong's "Dugu Nine Swords" in "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is a stunning stunt.

The martial arts schools of the Ming Dynasty, on the basis of the application of swordsmanship, created a lot of precious swordsmanship, how Liangchen "Array Chronicles" said: "Bian Zhuangzi's twisting method, Wang Ju's rise and fall method, Mr. Liu's wish to respond to the law,
