Chapter 20: The Head of the King's Sect
When I came to Hancheng County, it was already past noon.
Along the way, Ren Xiaoxiao kept looking at her watch. She already knew the hour of the pointer. Actually, it's not that difficult at all.
Ren Xiaoxiao told Qin Mu that the day and night of the Great Song Dynasty were divided into twelve hours, and each hour was divided into eight quarters. In this way, one moment is equivalent to fifteen minutes. The scale on the dial is 12 minutes, which is not much different from the ancient hours. In this age when fine timekeeping is not required, such an error is not an error.
When entering the city gate, Ren Xiaoxiao raised her wrist, glanced at her watch and said, "It's seven o'clock in the afternoon, I'm afraid I won't be able to get home until now." β
Xiao Tao also raised her wrist and looked at her watch and said, "What Qi Niang said is true." β
Qin Mu couldn't help but want to laugh. The two little girls were like two old-fashioned table clocks along the way, dotting every ten minutes. Fortunately, both of them were young and had beautiful voices, so they didn't bother him.
The soldiers defending the city were dumbfounded.
Who has ever seen a watch in the Great Song Dynasty? The people in the city get their time by listening to the bells and drums, so they only know a rough idea, and to be accurate to the moment, they need to use a leaky pot. Except for the yamen and large households, the common people who serve that thing are not troublesome enough.
But the little lady of the Ren family in front of her only looked at the silver bracelet on her wrist and reported the exact time, which was simply demonic. Isn't this bracelet a treasure?
Although I don't know if she reported it accurately, but looking at the position of the sun overhead, it is really not too much different. Since there are no timekeeping tools to carry around in this time and space, people have naturally developed the ability to look at the sun and shadow to estimate time.
Ren Xiaoxiao smiled proudly and entered the city without looking back.
When she arrived at Ren's mansion, Xiao Tao accompanied Ren Xiaoxiao into the inner house, and she had to communicate with her father first.
Qin Mu was treated differently this time, and he didn't have to wait in the gatehouse, so he was directly arranged into the second courtyard. This is also a place where people are invited to meet outside. The main house also sits in the north and faces south, the east and west sides are side rooms, and the flowers in the courtyard are bursting, which is very quiet.
Qin Mu was waiting in the west wing. Because of Ren Xiaoxiao's instructions, the maids of Ren Mansion naturally did not dare to slack off, and all kinds of fresh fruits were full of them.
Qin Mu was also a little thirsty after walking all the way, so he picked up the tea, and just about to drink it, he heard the door curtain ring, and then stopped drinking, startling him.
"You, where are you fleeing today?"
Qin Mu looked up and knew the head of the Wang Sect of Renfu. Thinking of what happened last time, Qin Mu understood, someone must have made a small report.
Last time, I ran away with Ren Xiaoxiao, avoiding the anger of Wang Jiaotou, and today I sent it to the door again, how could Wang Jiaotou not come to trouble him. He heard Xiao Tao say that Wang Tai was a very strict head of the sect and was loyal to Renfu. That day, he left the third young master at the dock and ran away, and in his eyes, Wang Tai thought that he was worthy of the trust of the outside of the office, and he had long wanted to teach Qin Mu a lesson and uphold his family style.
"Sect Leader Wang, I have something to say." Qin Mu hurriedly got up, put down the teacup and said, "Things are not what you think. Wait a while, the seventh lady will come over, and you will naturally understand. β
Wang Tai was furious.
He is a person who eats by his ability, and he is very good at kung fu with sticks and fists. Such people naturally hate fortunate people who have no skills. In Wang Tai's eyes, Qin Mu is a standard lucky disciple. A little white face, with just a good skin, deceived the seven ladies of the Ren family. As a family member, he didn't say that he protected the main family, but he ran faster than the main family. What is the use of keeping such a person?
Wang Tai wanted to beat him up last time and drove him away, but he didn't expect Qin Mu to slip away quickly and didn't catch him. Wang Jiaotou could not go to Wujiazhuang to enforce the family law. That's not appropriate. Today, I heard that this guy came to Ren's Mansion again, and he also entered the second courtyard, Wang Tai was even more angry.
It's only been a few days, and the Seventh Lady is even more fond of him. How can ordinary family members be qualified to come to the second courtyard. This is the place to receive distinguished guests, why should a new family stay in this house? The seventh lady, who is not a liar, is happy and wants to introduce him to Renren.
With the head of the Wang sect here, this must not be allowed to happen.
Wang Jiaotou is also a person with status in the Ren Mansion, and it is his duty to run away from a small family, and he will never blame him outside the office. Maybe he will even nod secretly, after all, there are some things that he is not good at. You can't point to the little white face and say to your daughter that this is a liar, relying on her beauty to deceive the little lady.
Wang Jiaotou raised his hand and picked up the stick.
It is better to use a stick to enforce the family law. Wang Jiaotou is strong in kung fu, and said that breaking one of your bones will never break two.
Qin Mu saw that this situation was not right, if he was allowed to make a move, he was afraid that he would be killed if he couldn't wait for Ren Xiaoxiao to come back. Even if you don't die, you're a cripple. At this time, don't talk about calling Ren Xiaoxiao, it's useless to call God. Wang Jiaotou's face was righteous and angry, which was all condensed on the stick.
Qin Mu didn't talk nonsense, and pulled out the ***** as soon as he bent down.
Before entering the city, he deliberately changed into the shoes of the original plane. At least it's comfortable to wear and run fast. Then tie the big dog's leg to the outside of the calf and block it with the trouser legs. It's too dangerous in the city, and it's easy to use fists and sticks, although I'm going to Renfu this time, but it's not wrong to be careful. It's better to have a knife in hand than to use your bare hands.
Wang Jiaotou was taken aback.
He didn't expect Qin Mu to dare to fight back!
With Wang Tai's position in Renfu, he wants to teach his family a lesson, who must not listen obediently, he swings his stick, and his subordinates can only stand upright and be beaten, so that he can also attack lightly, if someone dares to dodge, then his subordinates will be heavier. But today is evil, and for the first time, I met someone who dared to fight back.
Qin Mu bent over for enough time for Wang Tai to give him **, but Wang Tai didn't move. When he looked at Qin Mu's movements, he knew that the other party was going to dig out the guy. Although the warriors of the Great Song Dynasty were accustomed to straddle the knife around their waists, there were all kinds of hidden weapons. Qin Mu bent over and was definitely going to dig out the guy. Daring to dig out the guy in Ren's mansion, still in front of his Wang Jiaotou, the anger in Wang Tai's heart soared, and he exploded directly.
He originally wanted to break Qin Mu's leg and throw it out of the city again, but now he changed his mind. One leg is too cheap for him, if he doesn't leave a hand or a foot, the little white face doesn't want to get out of Ren's mansion alive.
Wang Tai originally thought that as soon as Qin Mu moved, he would take action immediately. With his kung fu, the three Qin Mu were together, and he was easily killed with one arm tied, but after seeing Qin Mu take out the guy, Wang Tai was stunned.
Because of this knife in Qin Mu's hand!
This knife is so weird, Wang Tai has never seen such a knife.
Most of the knives of the Great Song Dynasty are straight, and a few of them are curved outward, but the knife of the little white face is bent inward. It's not right at all, can you cut people like this? But if you think about it, such an arc may be more convenient to cut people.
How can a martial artist not love a sword, just like a literati like pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, almost instinctively. What's more, Qin Mu's knife not only has a strange arc, but also a strange color. Except for the blade with a touch of coldness, the rest of the part is pitch black, looking so evil, so terrifying, even, to put it bluntly, I want to grab it when I look at it. Wang Tai had seen more knives than Qin Mu had ever eaten, and he could see at a glance that this knife was extraordinary.
The son of a daughter can't sit down. Qin Mu is now armed with a sharp blade, and it can even be said to be a treasure knife, but he can't do it at all, he relies on a face to be abducted and deceived, and he also specializes in pit the little lady, and he also pit to the Ren Mansion, and pit to the place where he Wang Tai is the head of the sect, then I'm sorry, this knife belongs to my old king.
Liars, can you count people. Liars don't deserve to have a sword. The golden hairpin is given to the beauty, and the sword is matched with the hero. Only he, Wang Tai, is worthy of mastering this treasure knife and killing people.
Although Qin Mu is young, he is not naΓ―ve. Wang Tai's thoughts were simply written on his face. He didn't need to hide anything in front of his eyes. As long as he dares to do it, Wang Jiaotou will never give himself half a chance.
He didn't bring a knife to deal with a perverted kung fu master like Wang Jiaotou. Without an AK47 by his side, Qin Mu would never believe that he had done a good job. Wang Jiaotou overturned a dock of people by himself, with countless sticks and fists and feet, but he didn't threaten him at all, what is it to hold a knife by himself, and deliver food to people?
However, Qin Mu wouldn't do it at all. His only purpose was to stall for time.
dragged on for a while, and Ren Xiaoxiao would be fine when she came back.
"Sect Leader Wang, do you know this knife?" As soon as Qin Mu opened his mouth, Wang Tai's heart was gone.
yes, he didn't know the knife at all. I don't know the knife, and no one knows it in the whole of Hancheng County. Since no one knows it, what is this knife called? It is impossible for such an obvious sword to be nameless. Even if he snatched it himself, if he didn't say it, then he Wang Tai didn't even know the name of the knife, and if he took it out in the future, how to answer it when his friend asked, wouldn't it be a joke.
Wang Tai hesitated.
But in a blink of an eye, I thought, whatever his name is, anyway, grab it first.
Qin Mu kept staring at his face, and when he saw the other party's eyebrows, he knew that the words didn't frame him, and he was going to do it. He didn't hesitate, he immediately reversed the blade, and the handle of the knife was gently thrown forward: "Sect Leader Wang, you take a good look at this knife." β
Wang Tai has fought countless battles in his life, of course, he knows that Wang Tai just threw it over to him, not to kill him with a flying knife. The treasure knife was in front of him, and Wang Tai instinctively copied it in his hand.
As soon as the knife was in his hands, Wang Tai almost couldn't help but shout: "Good knife!" β
This knife is too good. The length and the severity are all agreeable. What's even more amazing is that when you hold it in your hand, you feel like it's one with your arm.
This is the difference between 21st century technology and ancient workshops.
I don't know how many technologies have been passed through in the design, from the selection of raw materials to the production process, which is far from being comparable to Da Song. This knife is also the pinnacle of the twenty-first century, let alone in ancient times thousands of years ago. Moreover, ergonomics in later generations is a concept that does not exist in this time and space.
To put it simply, the knife of the Great Song Dynasty only considers whether it is hard enough or not, whether it is good enough or not, but does not consider whether it is good or not, or rarely considers the user's feelings.
This big dogleg is different. This shape is selected from an unknown number of designs, not only the material of the handle is not available in this time and space, which is more user-friendly, but also because its center of gravity just coincides with the user's power point, so the user will have a feeling of effortlessness.
Wang Tai held this knife, and he didn't need to exert any force at all, the cold light was already shining!
It's obviously a very important treasure knife, but it doesn't exist in your hand, but as long as you swing it slightly, there are blades everywhere.
This knife is too good.
Wang Tai held it in his hand, forgetting Qin Mu for a while, and even forgetting the time, he only put the knife in front of him, and his eyes seemed to be looking at his lover, sliding inch by inch on the knife.
Qin Mu watched attentively, in case the head of the Wang sect came to his senses and gave him a knife.
"What is the name of this knife?" Wang Tai finally couldn't help but ask. If he didn't know the name of this sword, he wouldn't be comfortable. It's like meeting a beauty who falls in love at first sight, but you don't know who the other person's surname is and where her hometown is.
"......" Qin Mu hesitated. It's not that he won't tell Wang Tai, it's that the knife has no name.
In ancient times, the ten great swords or something, each with its own name. Cadre Mo Evil Fish Intestine Chengying, that is because it is not mass production, the quantity is too small, and each one is unique, so it can be named.
Cold Steel Company produces several knives a year, and a knife is made in tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions, so every knife can have a name.
Qin Mu has always called this knife a big dog's leg, but looking at the lover-like look on Wang Tai's face, if he wants to tell him that this knife is called a big dog's leg, then I'm afraid he will have to lie down on the ground at that time. Not for him to run away at the dock before, just because he didn't respect Wang Tai's lover.
If you tell people that this great beauty is called Gouyu, see if they beat you or not.
Qin Mu's brain spun rapidly, retrieving from the novels he had read and the games he had played.
"Sect Leader Wang, this knife is called the Nine Turns Xuanyuan Slash." This name is very domineering, and I think that the head of the Wang sect will not be dissatisfied.
"It turns out that the sword is the name." Wang Tai held the knife in his right hand, and stroked the blade with his left hand, before the edge of the blade was attached, a cold air had already forced over: "Good knife!" Good knife, but I don't know why this knife is called the Nine Turns Xuanyuan Slash? β
Qin Mu was stunned. Is this an additional question? Didn't you tell your name, and why did you ask so much? Why is it called Nine Turns Xuanyuan Chop, isn't it written in an unknown novel?
But you can't say this to Wang Tai.
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said: "Xuanyuan is a descendant of the emperor, and he was named Xuanyuan, because this knife has the domineering spirit of the emperor. And Xuanyuan comes from the bear clan, and the bear clan takes the black bear as the flag, and the whole body of this knife is black, which is in line with the inheritance of Xuanyuan. The so-called nine turns, that is because it is not easy to make a knife, and the legend is that it has been forged by nine generations of a weapon family to get this knife. Compared to this sword, the rest of the swords were like rotten wood, and they were cut off. β
"I see, it really deserves the name of the Nine Turns Xuanyuan Slash." When Wang Tai heard Qin Mu's explanation, he felt that the treasure knife in his hand was not ordinary.
The legend of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors existed in the Song Dynasty, and Wang Tai naturally knew that this emperor was not the current one in the Great Song Dynasty, but in more ancient times. The ancients of the ancients must be better than now, otherwise there were cadres in ancient times, Mo Ye would not have a famous knife now.
I didn't expect to see a peerless knife today, and every pore of Wang Tai's comfort was opened. Naturally, there was no killing intent.
Knowing so many famous little white faces, maybe it's not so bad. If he is willing to give me a knife, he will definitely give him a few kind words in front of the other staff.
"Wang Jiaotou, this knife in my hand is to kill chickens and dogs, chop wood and cut wood."
Wang Tai heard that Qin Mu was actually using this peerless knife to do the work of the butcher and the woodcutter, so he was so angry that he died. Is there any reason for this, his own knife is not a little worse than the Nine Turns Xuanyuan Slash, it can be said to be garbage, but he has always been careful to serve, how do you know that this little white face is so bad for the baby. See if I don't beat me to death......
Without waiting for him to make a move, Qin Mu continued: "I don't know how to use this knife at all, if Sect Leader Wang likes it, you might as well take it." This knife is a bit light for chopping wood, and it is a bit long for killing chickens, which is not very suitable. β
"Did you really give it to me?" Wang Tai couldn't believe his ears. He wanted this knife in every way, but he thought that Xiao Baiyan was not a good person before, and he could grab it with confidence, but now he unconsciously changed his attitude, and felt that Qin Mu, a little Langjun, could still talk about it, so he was embarrassed to grab it.
If you want it but you can't grab it, Wang Tai is crazy about contradictions, and now that he heard that Qin Mu was going to give him a knife, he was happy and suspected that he was dreaming.
Qin Mu waved his hand and said: "Sect Leader Wang, you don't know, in fact, I don't like to play with knives, guns are my strength!" "Anyway, you don't have to make a draft to brag.
"Okay, Brother Qin, I, Wang Tai, have received this love from you." Wang Tai was also refreshed: "I'll find you a good gun another day, and then pass on your brother's marksmanship a few ways, and let you play majestic!" β
"......" Qin Mu had nothing to say.
The gun he said is not the spear of the Great Song Dynasty, it has to be a bullet-spraying gun, where can you find it?
