Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Soldier in the World
After Qu Xiangtian smashed through the shed made of black oilcloth, the black gas in the shed suddenly fled in all directions under the sunlight, making a squeaking sound, and it was about to return to the ghosts and witches, and six black shadows rushed into the crowd, and the six black shadows were six people dressed as monks with rosaries, and many warriors guarding them.
The six monks fought with the six reincarnation formations and kept chanting the "Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law", the black qi was surrounded by the group, and kept hissing but could not break out of the encirclement of the six people, the ghosts and witches shouted anxiously, and rushed to the six monks with their blades, but they were resisted by the guards next to the six people, and they saw that the martial arts of those people were not bad, although they were surrounded by several times the enemy, they were not panicked.
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the roof were also methodically loading and aiming and shooting, killing and injuring the Warat soldiers as effectively as possible, and soon the Warat soldiers became fewer and fewer, even most of the survivors were lying on the ground and breathing, and the ghosts and witches were also shot and fell to the ground, without the ghost spirit protection they worshipped, they were no different from ordinary people.
Suddenly, the door of a house broke and a person flew out, the man was wearing Hanfu and holding a big knife in his hand, only to see that after flying out of the house, he rolled twice and vomited blood and died. After hearing two loud shouts in the house, two more people rolled out with their arms, and they kept rolling and fighting along the way, moving extremely fast and without losing their strength, and knocked down many people.
Qu Xiangtian fixed his eyes and saw that the two were Bagen and Fang Qingze, so he quietly raised his knife and approached the two, and slashed out the middle of Bagen's back.
Fang Qingze rolled on the spot and stood up, only to hear Bagen shouting: "Who attacked me, it's really shameless!" Raising his eyes, he saw Qu Xiangtian standing behind him with a horizontal sword, and Bagen said viciously: "Qu Xiangtian, no, you are not the Qu Xiangtian I know, the one I know is a hero, you are a sneak attacker." ”
Qu Xiangtian smiled and said: "The battlefield is about the lives of thousands of soldiers, how can I judge for the sake of my reputation, meanness will never have anything to do with the battlefield." At this time, a person came to Qu Xiangtian and whispered a few words in his ear, Qu Xiangtian nodded, then took out a rope from his arms, tied a hand to his body, and said: "Your cavalry and ghosts and witches have been completely wiped out, so I don't have to worry about the lives of the sergeants anymore." Now, in this mirror flower image, you and I are better than yin and yang mysticism, just have a good fight, last time in the mirror flower imagery did not fight happily, you are injured I tie one hand is fair? ”
Bagan laughed and said, "Good man! I'm coming! As he spoke, he pounced on Qu Xiangtian, and at this time, Bagen did not hold a double hammer, but only pulled out a short knife from his waist. Qu Xiangtian didn't dodge, just bit his strange-shaped knife with his teeth, and then jerked it suddenly, only to see the seven gems on it fall off, and everyone saw that there was a short blade hidden in the knife.
Qu Xiangtian stabbed out with a short blade shaking arm in one hand, Bagen flashed sideways with a low roar, and the knife was cut horizontally in Qu Xiangtian's hand, Bagen had no choice but to block the knife horizontally, but he heard the sound of metal breaking suddenly, and blood flowed down the short blade in Qu Xiangtian's hand, and fell to the ground drop by drop.
Bagen was stunned, looking at Qu Xiangtian who was restraining himself in front of him, and the blood gushing out of himself, and asked, "What kind of weapon is this?" Qu Xiangtian said proudly: "The seven-star treasure knife that cuts steel and iron." ”
"Seven Star Treasure Sword? You are really powerful, you have even found such a divine weapon, I didn't expect that the Seven Star Treasure Sword turned out to be a short blade. Bagen sighed, Qu Xiangtian let go of Bagen, he knew that the Mongolian man in front of him was a real man, and since he lost, he would not be treacherous again.
Qu Xiangtian nodded and said: "I'm ashamed, I love to study the art of war and other sharp weapons, when I first saw this knife, I only thought it was not ordinary, and then I used it, including the last time I fought with you, I didn't find it, in fact, I don't understand the mystery of this knife now, but I just know that this short knife hidden under the seven-star blade is as sharp as clay, and it is a treasure." I can beat you so quickly with a surprise baby. ”
The Seven Star Treasure Knife is said to be manufactured in the Spring and Autumn Period, a meteor fell in Yue Di and burned fifty miles of mountains and rivers, and the two of them retrieved the meteorite, and made the Wu Wang Sword and the Yue Wang Sword, which are the legendary two divine swords and the Ming Evil, and there was still a little material left to cast a short knife, and the descendants inlaid seven gems on it and named the Seven Star Treasure Knife. After that, every time this knife appeared in the rivers and lakes, it caused a bloody storm, but there were still a few people who knew it, until Luo Guanzhong mentioned in the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the early Ming Dynasty that Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo with the seven-star treasure knife that Situ Wang Yun wanted, and this became famous all over the world.
And the knife in Qu Xiangtian's hand was inadvertently obtained during the mission to Timur, although the blade is beautiful and the gems on it are expensive and extraordinary, but the sharpness is not enough to sharpen iron like clay, so Qu Xiangtian took a fancy to the rear Qingze only used a few dozen taels of gold to buy, until after returning to Beijing, Qu Xiangtian understood that there was another treasure blade, and then he had this short knife in his hand.
Bagen knelt on one knee, knelt down in front of Qu Xiangtian and covered his chest with one hand and said, "I'm not as good as others, you can kill me." Qu Xiangtian shook his head and said, "You are a good man, can you be my brother?" Join me on the battlefield. Bagen raised his head, looked at Qu Xiangtian but replied with a slight smile: "Be your brother?" Okay, from today onwards you are my good Anda (Anda is a brother in Mongolian), but I am a Mongolian ghost, and you can't do treacherous things to be loyal to ghosts and witches, Anda, you better kill me. ”
Qu Xiangtian waved at the few people above the house, and the surrounding mirrors seemed to flicker, and they regained their calm. Qu Xiangtian said: "You go, Brother Bagen, it's just that you were defeated by me today, so go back to Tartary, I don't want to fight with you for life and death on the battlefield." ”
Bagen thought for a while and stood up, his hand still on his chest, bowed to Qu Xiangtian and said, "Bagen will return to Tatar today, and he will not be an enemy of Anda in this life." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, Qu Xiangtian also turned his back, as if he was a little lost. Bagan suddenly stopped and asked, "Anda, do you want to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" ”
The surroundings suddenly quieted down, no one spoke, as if even the sound of breathing was still, Qu Xiangtian smiled and said without looking back: "What's the point of that, sitting on the high hall can't fight on the battlefield, what is the true character of a man, I just want to be the first soldier in the world." ”
Bagan nodded, knelt down on one knee to cover his chest at Qu Xiangtian's back again, stood up, flew on his horse and left. Lu Yunzhi walked over, staring at Qu Xiangtian with his eyes dead, and asked very puzzled: "Big brother, why do you want to let him go, I have a common enmity with ghosts and witches." Qu Xiangtian said: "It's not good to be a big brother, that big brother named Qiyan must help you kill him together, but I have a hunch that this person will definitely become a general under my command in the future, so here the big brother will not compensate you." ”
Lu Yunzhi saw Qu Xiangtian bending over and bowing to himself, thinking in his heart that although his parents were killed by Mongolian barbarians, not all Mongolians were his enemies, and Yingzi's humiliation was also done by begging for shame, so he was no longer angry, and hurriedly helped Qu Xiangtian and said: "Big brother is serious, my own brother, how dare I dare to be so polite." ”
Qu Xiangtian nodded and said around the surroundings: "Thank you for coming to help, please go back to the city and wait, Zhongzheng will rush to Andingmen, and he will never give up first." Set up a demon exorcism array there, and let Andingmen become the cemetery of Warat. ”
