Chapter 498: Battle Heaven Thorn (I)

The stairs to the next floor were by the wall, and we couldn't wait to run down the floor, during which Yun Ning came over and asked me.

"Sister Yin Yin, what should I do about this, this dust."

"It chose you to show that you are destined, take it with you, maybe it will come in handy sometime." I say.

"Yin Yin." Uncle Lu stepped forward, "There's still the last layer, is it called Zhantian Thorn?" Uncle Lu asked.

"Yes, this is the last floor of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda." I say.

"What kind of magic weapon is this Heavenly Thorn?" Uncle Lu asked.

"This is really asking me, even if we don't know about those treasures before, it's because the director hides it well, we know his name before, or there are some speculations, but what kind of battle sky thorn is this, I haven't heard of it at all. I think it's probably like an ordinary weapon, this thing is extraordinarily ordinary, so it's not recorded. I said.

"But what the hell is this thorn?" Dazhe asked, "Eighteen kinds of weapons, when did you have such a thorn?" ”

"Okay, fat man, you know all the eighteen weapons, so tell me, what are these eighteen weapons?" Yun Xian said.

"I look down on people again, isn't it, I'm from the army, although the theory is not as good as Lao Lu's, but I'm not a soldier anyway." Dazhe said, "The eighteen kinds of weapons refer to a variety of skills, and their content varies from period to period. Its name, in modern times, some people call it a knife, a gun, a sword, a halberd, an axe, a shovel, a fork, a whip, a mace, a hammer, a gou, a stick, a spear, a spear, palladium 18 kinds of weapons. Later, it evolved, also known as the eighteen martial arts, the eighteen martial arts. refers to the ability to use eighteen kinds of weapons, and also refers to a variety of martial arts; My favorite "Water Margin" wrote about the eighteen kinds of weapons are: spear, hammer, bow, crossbow, gun, whip, mace, sword, chain, axe, yue, ge, halberd, card, club, gun, and chop. There are also two films of the same name, "Eighteen Martial Arts". According to folklore, the people who were proficient in the eighteen kinds of martial arts in ancient times were Xiang Yu and Lu Bu. Since the Qing Dynasty. There are four kinds of martial arts: one refers to knives, guns, swords, boring, sticks, forks, rakes, whips, maces, hammers, axes, hooks, sickles, chopping, crutches, bows and arrows, and rattan cards. The second type is arranged in the same way as the first. Only the last three pieces became: generation, decision, and bow and arrow. The third type is also called nine long and nine short. Nine lengths, guns, halberds, sticks, axes, forks, boring, hooks, lances, rings; The nine shorts are: knives, swords, crutches, axes, whips, maces, hammers, rods, and pestles. The fourth type refers to the eighteen kinds of weapons that some people in the modern opera industry call knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, axes, forks, whips, maces, hammers, grasps, hammers, sticks, lances, sticks, crutches, and meteor hammers. This one is also the most accepted by modern people, in order to make it easier to remember, it is often said that swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, sticks, sticks, whips, hammers, and grasps. Kidnappers Meteor. "I didn't expect Dazhe to really know this part very well, and it is the way to talk about it.

"The weapon I can think of that is related to the thorn is the Emei thorn." Uncle Lu said.

"Then all I can think of are Exterminator Tai and Zhou Zhiruo." Dazhe began to talk poorly again.

"I've read too many martial arts novels, Uncle Lu don't pay attention to him, you go on, what is the Emei thorn?" Min Lan asked.

"Emei thorn is one of the Chinese martial arts equipment. According to records, Emei thorn appeared as a martial arts item at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The Emei thorn used in martial arts is about 30 centimeters long, and its shape is a cone-shaped body with a thick middle and thin two ends, and the head is slightly flattened. It is diamond-shaped with a pointed point and a ring in the middle. During the performance, the ring is placed on the practitioner's middle finger and one is held in each hand. Use your wrist shake and finger flick to make it turn. It is also called Emei needle. This kind of short bizarre weapon is generally about a foot long. The two ends are thin, flattened, diamond-shaped, and sharply stabbed. shaped like a spear head; In addition, according to the different forms of forging, it can be divided into three-edged Emei thorns, six-sided plum blossom Emei thorns, etc.; Thick in the middle. There is a round hole in the center, and an iron nail is riveted on it. The nails can be flexibly rotated in the hole, and the nails are connected to a set of finger rings. ”

According to legend, the Emei Thorn was originally a short fighting weapon used in ancient water warfare, which can be used in the water for assassination or diving to the bottom of the boat to pierce the bottom of the ship, so it is also called the Emei Thorn of Dividing Water. It was later changed to a land-based application. Invented by a monk in Emei Mountain, it is called Emei Thorn. There is another saying that the Emei thorn was created by a martial arts master in Shu, because the machine resembles a goose eyebrow, so it is named. When using, hold one in each of the left and right hands, put the ring on the middle finger of both hands, and when the fingers are clenched, you can do blocking, piercing, piercing, picking, pushing, hinging, buckle and other action techniques, and when you open your hands, you can use the mixing of the wrist and the toggle of the fingers to make it do a quick palm rotation in the hand to confuse the opponent, and at the same time cooperate with various steps, body methods, footwork balance, jumping and other actions. Striking methods include piercing, piercing, picking, plucking, piercing, and racking. Uncle Lu also made a few gestures as he spoke, and these few times he came out, there was no danger in the ancient tomb, which made Uncle Lu a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but move his muscles and bones.

"This weapon is lightweight, easy to carry, and suitable for women. This is the kind of weapon used by the river rat in the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, and Huang Rong also used this weapon before becoming the gang leader. The drill is beautiful and chic. Originally, it was rumored that this weapon was created by a woman because it looked very similar to a woman's hairpin. In fact, it is not the case, it was created by the Baimei Taoist on Mount Emei, and he is a man. The Emei thorn is a representative weapon of the Emei faction. Uncle Lu said.

"So, uncle, do you also think that Zhantian Thorn and this Emei Thorn will have something in common?" I asked.

"It's hard to say, I can't say it now, especially this Zhantian Thorn, there is no information, only so I know the name, and I don't want to be dusty, at least we can know what it looks like." Uncle Lu said.

"You've been studying this Zhantian Thorn that you don't know what it looks like, isn't there anyone who explains this staircase that you can see and touch?" Arrow spoke suddenly.

"Stairs? What happened to the stairs? I asked.

I looked down, and I really didn't notice that the stairs under our feet had become different from before. The previous staircase was the most ordinary staircase, but now there is an extra row of ramps on both sides of the staircase.

"It's a drape stampede." Yun Ximing said.

"What haystack?" Dazhe didn't understand again.

It's the ancient name for steps. The steps of ancient buildings, also known as treadways, are stairs that go up and down the pedestal, and there are usually two types: stepped steps and ramps. These two types can be divided into different forms and combinations, such as royal road stampede, drape stampede, ruyi stampede, and ramps and slow tracks. The royal road stamping, that is, the ramp, also known as the chariot road, the royal road, the Majesty stone, is a ramp with a very gentle slope for driving, usually used in combination with the step-shaped step, called the royal road stamping. It is generally used in palace and temple construction. Vertical stampede is a treadway that sets up vertical belt stones on both sides of the stampede, which was first seen in the portrait bricks of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Ruyi stampede, that is, the practice of stamping without hanging stones, is called Ruyi stampede, which is generally used in residential and garden architecture. The ramp or slow track is a slope formed by using masonry and stone exposed edges, which can be effectively anti-slip, and is generally used in places with small outdoor height differences. In terms of rank, the royal road stamping is higher than the non-royal road stamping, and the draping stamping is higher than the Ruyi stamping. Yun Ximing said.

"No, then I don't understand, what's wrong with this step changing? Maybe it's because the people who built this tower suddenly felt that it shouldn't be the same when they built this floor, and that they should change their style. Dazhe began to break around again.

"This tower is not an ordinary tower originally, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower, originally a treasure that only exists in legends, if there are some unexplained things in this tower, it is understandable, the first floor is still a spiral staircase." Yun Xian also seems to agree with what Dazhe said.

"No, the staircase here has been remodeled." Yun Ximing said, as he spoke, he reached out and touched the steps under his feet. "The steps weren't originally like this, and the drapes on both sides were added later, so it's clear that someone has changed them, but they don't understand the point of doing so." Yun Ximing was also very puzzled.

"The more this happens, the more it means that we may really be in the right place." I say.

"Yin Yin, did you think of something?" Sister Wang Na said.

"Why did we come to this place?" I say.

"Originally, it was because of the strange illness of the people here, and then I learned that this place may have something to do with your family, so we found it all the way." Sister Wang Na said.

"The strange disease in Bayun Village has attracted a lot of scientific researchers, and all those who can be investigated and tested around here will not be let go. My aunt has obviously intensified her investigation here, but she has found nothing, so I think this pagoda hidden underground may be what we are looking for, and I feel that we are getting closer and closer to the truth. I said.

"But what does this have to do with the steps under our feet?" Uncle Lu asked.

"Who is buried in this grave?" I asked.

"Zuo Ci." Uncle Lu said.

"Zuo Ci has learned immortal arts since he was a child, even if he hates the ignorant clansmen who killed his lover, and he also feels sad about the ignorance of the clansmen, but he himself is also a descendant of this Zuo country, and he can't avoid such inferior roots, so from his heart, he feels that he is also a higher person than the clansmen, or rather, he feels that he is a higher level than ordinary people, and these steps are evidence, I am afraid that from here, we will really enter the scope of Zuo Ci's tomb." I say.

"In addition to the royal road stampede, the drape stamped is the highest level in the classification of the steps, and there is indeed a suspicion of raising his own value by using this method, but why doesn't he directly use the royal road stampede, which symbolizes the highest status?" Yun Ximing said.

"It's not that I don't want to use it, it's that I disdain to use it, although the royal road stomping symbolizes imperial power, but in the eyes of immortal cultivators, I'm afraid it's really dirty." I explained.

"Ahh Dazhe sneezed, "Don't you feel like it's getting colder?" (To be continued.) )
