This fire bamboo is also known as "Ting Liao" in ancient times, it is the ancients who tied bamboo, grass or hemp stalks together and set them off to make the night shine like day, and have the effect of lighting and driving away evil spirits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThis is the prototype of firecrackers in China, more than 2,000 years ago.

The ancient book "Zhou Li" has the activity of "driving away the ghosts" at the end of the year. In order to drive away the Nian Beast and prevent it from coming out to hurt people, the ancients took advantage of the characteristics of the Nian Beast that were afraid of red, light, and sound to develop firecrackers.

Firecrackers are an improvement of firecrackers in the military during the Warring States period, adding saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal to make them shine and sound at night. Whether it is an army sentry or a robber or a horse thief, they often use firecrackers to agree on codes and transmit information.

"Not good! Retreat! Chang Yu shouted at Zhan Zhan and the others.

Chang Yu didn't expect that the horse thief who escaped had a firecracker on him, and what was even more unexpected was that the thorn wood disciple who was chasing him actually asked the other party to ignite the firecracker and shoot it out.

As soon as Chang Yu's words fell, two or three slender and bright fires shot out in the dark night in the distance, and then hundreds of thousands of firelights lit up on the hills.

The Sixth Horse Army was able to firmly occupy every corner of Malingpo, and it was precisely by dividing dozens and hundreds of small detachments in various places that echoed each other from afar, and set up a squadron on top of every five squadrons, and set up another brigade on top of the five squadrons, so as to enhance the agility and combat effectiveness of the Sixth Horse Army.

At that time, Chang Yu and others hibernated here for three days, wanting to assassinate the six horseheads who went out here unknowingly, so as not to be discovered and fall into the encirclement of the six horse army, and finally waited until the thick night tonight.

Zhan Nao and the other five people had already heard Chang Yu's order and gathered around.

"Brother Chang, what's the matter, these silver were killed by us before they even had time to take out the eggs, how could anyone set firecrackers?" As soon as Zhan Zhi approached, he asked in confusion, the silver naturally refers to the horse thief, and in the process of executing the assassination order, Zhan Zhi saw that everyone had an equal bounty on their heads.

Chang Yu didn't answer, glanced at Yan Hua, and saw that the six horse troops rushing across from the other party were still indifferent, and after a slight hesitation, he ordered, "Let's retreat!" ”

With that, he led the crowd into six black shadows and burrowed into the grass.

……

After Chang Yu and the others left, Yan Hua's gaze was as cold as a cheetah, and he removed his right leg from the tiger-robed man's chest, revealing the handle of the dagger.

The iron handle is cylindrical and twine-wound around it, and the bottom end of the handle forms a small square piece of iron, which is used for backhand hammering during fighting.

There are several small characters engraved on the small square iron, which is the origin of the kiln. The whole dagger is simple and simple, and it is not a rare thing.

Five steps away from Yan Hua's body, there was the Thornwood disciple standing.

The night wind blew the sound of horses' hooves and roars in the distance, but what really scared this Thornwood disciple was the Thorn Copper disciple who was close in front of him.

The Piercing Wood disciple said respectfully, "Yan ...... Senior Brother Yan, I have deliberately missed the arrow as you instructed me just now, and the horse thief also released the firecracker. ”

"Well, well done." Yan Hua said lightly, stroking the blade of the sword with two fingers, and the sword body hummed.

"Now a large number of horse thieves have come after them. Let's get out of here first. The Thornwood disciple felt a little uneasy in his heart, looked left and right, and continued.

"Leave?" Yan Hua glanced at the firelight in the distance, and said coldly, "I'll send you away immediately." ”

When the Thornwood disciple heard this, he shivered all over, and couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "Yan...... Senior Brother Yan, I'm ...... I swear I'll keep my mouth shut about tonight......"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Hua suddenly pounced on a leopard, and the long sword smeared against the neck of the Thornwood disciple, and blood splattered on the spot immediately!

The sword in the hand of the Thornwood disciple was only half an inch drawn, and his body fell to the ground, pressing a human figure out of the grass, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Only the dead can keep their mouths shut." Yan Hua sneered.

……

"Third Master!" A horse thief held a torch and shone in the grass, his face turned pale with fright, and he ran away, shouting all the way, "Something has happened to the third master!" The sixth master is dead! ”

This shout, like an earthquake, shook thousands of fires.

After a pillar of incense.

Next to the corpse of the man in the tiger robe, there were seven or eight strong men, three of whom had long hair and thin braids, hanging down, with a high nose and square face, quite a bit of exotic men's demeanor.

A man knelt on his knees, reached over, stroked the hilt of the knife on the chest of the man in the tiger robe, rubbed it on the small iron with the square handle, trembled, and gritted his copper teeth with a clucking sound.

"Third brother! This is the official-made dagger of the Little Patriotic Army. Look at the corpse next to him, there is no doubt that a piece of soft armor on his body is also the Xiaowei military! A big man standing next to him said.

The man who was half-kneeling on the ground heard the words and looked at the thorn wood disciple that Chang Yu and the others had seen, and his night clothes had been torn off, revealing a set of soft armor inside, which was indeed the official leather armor in the guards.

The man got up, his eyes shot out of resentful anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth brother, fifth brother, you dig three feet into the ground nearby and find out the murderer for me!" Kill anyone you see if you see them! ”

"The rest of the people are waiting, take the sixth brother with me, and go back with me to report to the eldest brother! The guards are seeking their own death, we must avenge the sixth brother and let them repay their blood debts! The man roared.

"Avenge the sixth master!"

"Blood debt and blood repayment!"

For a time, the mournful roar spread throughout Malingpo.
