Chapter 3: The Celestial Dragon's Halberd
Ma Teng nodded, he was extremely satisfied with this son. At this moment, Ma Chao, who is only five years old, has more than five feet (one foot in the Han Dynasty is about 23 centimeters now), and he is born with divine power, and can throw more than 100 catties (about 223 grams of one pound in the Han Dynasty) of boulders out of the way, and play with his nearly eighty pounds of logging axe. Not only that, Ma Chao's talent and intelligence have reached the level of rebellion, and he can teach himself without a teacher, and memorize the only few books in the family upside down.
"After my Ma family is a famous general, the ancestor Ma Yuan is proficient in the art of war and martial arts, and his name is mighty and powerful, so that Hu Lu is frightened, and his father will start to officially pass on your Ma family's martial arts and the art of war, hoping that my son can practice wholeheartedly, inherit the will of the ancestors, and serve the Han Dynasty!"
"Father rest assured, the child will study literature and martial arts with his heart, and in the future, he will serve the Han Dynasty, pacify Hu Kou, and revive the prestige of my Ma family, and the horse leather shroud will not hesitate!" Having said that, Ma Chao is extremely disdainful in his heart, the Han Dynasty will soon exist in name only, the rise of the princes, and the competition of heroes is the general trend of the world.
But I don't dare to say this, after all, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has not broken out yet, and the Liu family of the Han family is still a little angry. And Ma Teng is a model of loyalty to the Han family, otherwise he would not have been King Qin twice in history, and participated in the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and was later put under house arrest by Cao Ying in the name of the Son of Heaven.
"Hmm!" Ma Teng suddenly said with a very straight face: "Most of my Ma family's martial arts and tactics are passed down from the ancestor Ma Yuan, and the ancestor is proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons, especially the hammer method, halberd method, spear method, knife method, sword technique and bow and arrow skills. He once used a pair of 320-pound drum urns and golden hammers to dominate the world, and he never failed in his life. ”
Ma Chao was stunned, he always thought that Ma Yuan was also a master of the gun, so the family martial arts are also marksmanship, where did he think that Ma Yuan actually used a hammer, and it was a pair of 320 pound sledgehammers. This news suddenly made him a little overwhelmed, of course he knew that none of the people who dared to use hammers, especially heavy hammers, were mediocre, at least they were all people with divine power, otherwise they would not be able to control this clumsy and infinitely powerful heavy weapon.
Thinking of this, Ma Chao frowned and said, "But what my father learned was marksmanship."
"Not bad!" Ma Teng said with a guilty face: "The hammer method is the most important talent, and those who do not have divine power cannot practice, even if they practice reluctantly, it is difficult to fight for a long time, but they fall behind." After several generations of tempering, now the Ma family's spear skills have surpassed the ancestors of Ma Yuan, so my father intends to pass on your spear skills, bow skills, swordsmanship and the method of marching formation. ”
Ma Chao was ecstatic in his heart, and immediately bowed down and said: "The child will definitely practice hard and carry forward my Ma family's martial arts." "Ma Chao in history is known for his marksmanship, and Brother Xiao Ma has been looking forward to it for a long time, so he is naturally overjoyed.
Ma Teng helped Ma Chao up and said, "You have worshiped the ancestors first, and then you can pass on your martial arts and art of war to your father." ”
"Follow your father's teachings!" Ma Chao responded, immediately bathed and changed clothes, and offered incense to meet the ancestors of the past dynasties. After the ceremony, Ma Teng stroked his short beard under his chin, and said with deep meaning in his eyes: "My son come here, my father has something to pass on to you." With that, the father and son crossed the ancestral hall to the backyard. Ma Teng opened the flap, and the two passed through several secret doors and finally stepped into the underground secret room that Ma Chao had longed for.
Lighting the oil lamp, the dark room suddenly brightened, Ma Chao took a look, only to see that the dark room the size of a room was full of weapons and armor, with an extremely wide variety of patterns, daggers, bows and arrows, spears and sledgehammers, dazzling.
Ma Teng ignored Ma Chao, who was in a daze, and said to himself: "This Tibetan military room is the collection of the ancestors of my Ma family, all of them are the gods of the world, you must remember that this matter must not be known to outsiders, and private weapons are a big crime of robbing the family and exterminating the clan." ”
Ma Chao said: "Father rest assured, the child should know." After that, he pointed to a pair of yellow, orange and orange sledgehammers in the corner of the wall and asked, "Is this the drum urn golden hammer used by the ancestors?" ”
Ma Teng said proudly: "Yes, the drum urn and the golden hammer weigh three hundred and twenty pounds, the right hand hammer weighs one hundred and seventy pounds, and the left hand hammer weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. ”
"Just going to give it a try!" Brother Xiao Ma came to the spirit at that time, he had always been negative with his divine power, and immediately one in one hand, with a fierce force on his waist, and shouted: "Get up!" The two hammers rang up, but they fell sharply less than two feet above the ground. Ma Chao's body was unstable under all his strength, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, panting heavily, and his little face was red.
Ma Teng laughed and said: "Although Wu'er is born with divine power, he is still young and has not been caught, and he must know that his father did not reluctantly pick up this pair of sledgehammers until he was twelve years old." ”
Brother Pony was sweating wildly, this thing is too exaggerated, right? Second Brother Guan's Qinglong Yanyue Knife is only eighty-two catties, and the golden hammer of the drum urn is almost four times the weight of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife. This horse aid is really ox x, three hundred and twenty catties is equivalent to the weight of an adult, he can sway freely! It seems that he is destined to miss this hammer.
However, Ma Chao is not disappointed, Ma Chao in history is not a hammer, and he is not too optimistic about the sledgehammer. The hammer is extremely powerful but difficult to fight for a long time, and without the cooperation of the best horse in a million, this hammer is even more difficult to use! Willingly, Ma Chao suddenly lifted a handle with both hands and lifted it over his shoulders easily, threw down the hammer, patted his little hand and said: "The child is young, and his strength is not as good as that of the ancestors, it is difficult to control this hammer, and I ask my father to forgive me!" ”
Ma Teng said: "My child has divine power, but because he is young, he may not be as powerful as the ancestors, and the hammer is too harsh, and the harm outweighs the benefits, so don't use it, and look at this thing!" As he spoke, he took out a silver-white spear from behind him, which was the tiger head Zhan golden gun that Han Yue had given him at the beginning.
Brother Ma was overjoyed, he had been thinking about this tiger head Zhan golden gun that he hadn't seen for five years, and immediately said: "This gun is the tiger head Zhan golden gun given by Uncle Han?" Sure enough, it is a rare magic weapon. ”
Ma Teng sighed deeply and said, "Yes, it was given by your Uncle Han, but I heard that his little daughter Han Ying has been sick and died early since she was a child, but I don't know if this family business can be successful." ”
Ma Chao said: "Uncle Han is a hero in the world, and he has God's blessing. ”
Ma Teng nodded, handed over the spear and said, "You should familiarize yourself with it first, and then I will make a wooden gun for your father to use for practice according to this gun." ”
Ma Chao nodded vigorously, his strength has not yet grown, and practicing with such a heavy gun will only hurt his muscles and bones, and gradual progress is the last word. took the sixty-four-pound gun and waved it for a while, extremely satisfied, and said excitedly: "What a tiger head Zhan golden gun, from now on you will accompany me to fight on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions." After saying that, I couldn't help but wave it a few more times, only to hear "Bell!" There was a crisp sound, and it turned out that a shot was accidentally slashed on a large black iron rod standing against the wall, and sparks flew everywhere.
Ma was shocked, and after a closer look, fortunately, the blade of the gun was not damaged, and then looked at the swarthy iron rod, and suddenly his eyes widened. It turned out that it was not an ordinary iron root, but a halberd, an extremely strange halberd.
To say that ordinary halberds Ma Chao has also seen, halberds are divided into long halberds and short halberds. The long halberd is divided into the square halberd and the green dragon halberd, and the short halberd is divided into the halberd and the double halberd.
Fang Tian's halberd is actually a spear with a crescent-like blade, and the crescent blade is connected to the halberd body with two small branches, such as the Fang Tian painting halberd used by Lu Bu belongs to Fang Tian's halberd. The Green Dragon Halberd is basically the same as the Fang Tian Halberd, except that there is a crescent blade missing, which belongs to the Fang Tian Halberd of a single crescent, and the difficulty of use is less than that of the Fang Tian Halberd.
The halberd is a hidden weapon, less than two feet long, and the power of throwing at close range is far greater than that of a bow and arrow; The double halberd is composed of two seven-foot-long green dragon halberds or Fang Tian halberds, such as the big iron halberds owned by the fierce general Dian Wei belong to the double halberds.
And the halberd in front of him, which is about two zhang long, does not belong to Fang Tian's halberd, nor does it belong to the Qinglong halberd. I saw that the halberd was palm wide, about five feet long, and on one side below was two small branches connected with a giant crescent blade, and on the other side was an axe blade, the axe surface was very thin, no more than two inches thick but extremely sharp, and the crescent halberd blade, the halberd blade flashed with a ghostly light, and the cold was pressing. The halberd rod is carved with coiling dragons, there are as many as nine under the count, and the tail of the halberd rod is a seven-inch-long seven-legged armor-piercing cone, which is extremely sharp.
Looking at the halberd shaft that had just been sharpened by the blade, Xiao Ma was even more surprised, with a sharp bluntness, there was no trace left on the halberd shaft, even if it was the size of a hair, the halberd did not move at all. It can be seen that the halberd is far superior to the tiger head Zhan golden gun in terms of weight and material.
"Father, this halberd is extraordinary, but does it have a history?" After the surprise, the little horse gave full play to the spirit of the curious baby.
Ma Teng took in Ma Chao's expression, and he didn't sell it, and said: "This halberd can be regarded as the most precious divine weapon of my Ma family except for the drum urn golden hammer, and the origin is even bigger than the drum urn golden hammer, but unfortunately no one can control it except for the ancestor Ma Yuan." ”
Ma Chao hurriedly said: "I want to hear it in detail!" Please also ask my father to solve his doubts! ”
Ma Teng didn't answer and asked, "Do you know Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu?" ”
Ma Chao replied without thinking about it: "Of course I know, the story of the overlord of Western Chu knows a lot" Speaking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said loudly: "This will not be the overlord of Western Chu"
"Not bad!" Ma Teng looked at the halberd and said with deep meaning in his eyes: "Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, is also proficient in eighteen weapons, among which he loves the tyrant of a hundred soldiers - the halberd!" Before Xiang Yu raised the army, Huiji County had a meteorite from the sky, and then Xiang Liang privately asked the local craftsmen who cast weapons to use this stone to make iron to forge weapons for Xiang Yu. After nine days and nine nights, it was finally forged into a long halberd, one zhang and two feet nine inches long, weighing 129 catties, and Xiang Yu named it "ghost god"! Because the halberd rod is carved with a coiled dragon, and there is a tiger's head swallowing blade in front, it is also called the tiger's head coiled dragon halberd. This halberd followed Xiang Yu's expedition to the east and west, attacked the city and plundered the land, beheaded countless people, killed the enemy to throw away his armor, look at the wind and flee, also known as the Tianlong city halberd. ”
"When the overlord of Western Chu was defeated, the Wujiang River killed himself, this halberd fell into the hands of Gaozu, and later Emperor Guangwu remembered the martial arts and military exploits of the ancestor Ma Yuan and gave this halberd, but unfortunately the world was decided at that time, although the ancestors created a complete set of halberd methods, but failed to carry it forward, so that the reputation was not obvious, and the divine soldiers were dusted."
