On the morning of the second day, Wu Wangxing was still unfinished, and he looked at the ministers with the sword of "cadre". The ministers have seen it and appreciated it. After the soldiers carefully looked at the sword, they played: "The king has the sword of the greatest treasure, and he can congratulate him." But after Yichen carefully tasted it, this sword should be a male and female sword! This is the male sword, but where is the female sword? ”

King Wu was surprised and said, "How did Mr. know? The cadre offered this sword to the widow, and he had never heard of a female sword. Moreover, Gao Qiang and Wuyu have already seen it, and there is nothing unusual. How did the gentleman know that there are male and female swords? It's better to listen to it for everyone, and you can also gain some knowledge. ”

Wu Yuan said: "This sword is sharp, like a peak. The hardest is easy to break, and it must be matched with the soft and rigid one, and the sword qi can be harmonious, one of them; This sword is engraved with a turtle pattern, and the whole sword is not complary. In the general method of sword-making, there must be a manga with a tortoise pattern, and the manga must be decorated by another sword, and the other is also. In the humble opinion of the minister, there must be a sword to match. ”

King Wu was furious and ordered Ziwen to lead the forbidden army to arrest the generals. He ordered: "You must retrieve the female sword, if the general hands it over, if you refuse to hand it over, kill it immediately." ”

Gao Qiang saw that the cadre was hiding the sword, but he couldn't see it, and he held a grudge in his heart. Seeing that King Wu sent Ziwen to take the sword, he knelt down and played: "The minister has something to play: the cadre will be the disciple of Ou Yezi's descendant, and the cadre will be the fast son-in-law, and the cadre will get the true inheritance of Ou Yezi." If a cadre travels through the nations, he will forge a sword for the princes and kings, which is really worrying. The ministers asked the king to imprison the generals and not let him go to other countries. ”

When he heard this, his heart moved, and he ordered Ziwen to take the sword and imprison the general, and asked him to hand over the sword casting formula for later use.

Ziwen was ordered by King Wu to lead the forbidden army to surround the general's house. The cadre had expected it, but no matter how Ziwen persuaded him, he always refused to admit that he was hiding his sword. Ziwen couldn't either, so he had to search carefully, but found nothing. Ziwen had no choice but to arrest the cadre, and according to the order of King Wu, he surrendered to the cadre in prison.

But the cadre apprentice Gongshen, but everyone didn't pay attention, and when he came to arrest him again, Gongshen was nowhere to be found.

The cadre burned all his thoughts in prison, became angry and became ill, and died in prison soon after. Since then, the sword of "Mo Evil" has not ended.

King Wu knew that the cadre was dead, and he loved the sword of the "cadre general" even more. King Wu had to work hard to leave behind the sword-forging formula, and wanted to personally supervise the production of a sword. After trial and error, March was completed. On the body of this sword, the words "attack my king Guangzicha, use the sword to fight the people" are inscribed with bird and insect inscriptions. Beautifully decorated and well-made. It's just that after it is cast, there is less spirit, and there is no scorching brilliance of "cadres".

The meaning is still unfinished, and the "cadre" is the treasure. Because he liked the golden hook, he ordered to recruit those who could make the golden hook and give him a reward of 100 gold.

The Chinese people are greedy for the reward of King Wu, and there are many people who offer hooks, but most of them are mediocre casting, which is not what King Wu wants.

One day, King Wu was about to return to the palace. The guards stepped forward to report that a hook master outside the palace had come to ask for a reward. King Wu frowned and said: "There are many people who offer hooks. But few people look at it one by one, and there is nothing extraordinary. Why don't you just give him some riches, and send him away. ”

In less than half an hour, the guards turned around and returned to King Wu and said, "The hook master outside said that he came to ask for a reward from the king, and he was not blessed with wealth. ”

He Lu said slightly: "This person has made a big statement, all the golden hooks, the widow has seen them one by one, and there is nothing extraordinary. Does this man want to deceive the widow and fish in troubled waters? ”

Gao Qiang came out of the class and said: "Since this person dares to come to the main hall to ask for rewards, it is unknown what is unusual about him. Why not call him into the temple, and stay and take a closer look, and see what he has to say. ”

King Wu shook his long sleeves, snorted lightly in his nose, and turned back to his position. The ministers lined up to return to their positions, and King Wu Xuangou entered the palace.

After the hook master entered the hall, he knelt down and worshiped King Wu and said: "The grass people heard that the king had a reward, so they cast a double hook and came to offer each other for many days." But to this day, I have never heard any information, and I wonder if the king's reward is true. ”

King Wu felt a little ridiculous, and snorted coldly: "There are quite a few people who offer golden hooks to the widows, but the level of golden hooks they cast is average, so they failed to obtain the reward of 100 gold. How is the golden hook which thou hast forged different from that of others, that thou shalt reward thee with a hundred golds? ”

The hook master said: "The golden hook made by the grass people is different from others. The grass people killed their two sons and soaked their blood into hooks, isn't it comparable to others? ”

After hearing this, King Wu was stunned, and he still didn't believe it: "You killed your son into a hook, is it a lie?" The widow had never heard of it. Furthermore, what is the use of killing a child into a hook? You let the widow look at it. So he ordered all the guards to take out the golden hooks they had offered, so that the hook master could find them, and let all the ministers come to see the excitement.

The guards played in King Wu: "The shape of the golden hook is the same, and there is no inscription to distinguish it, so I don't know where this person's golden hook is, it is better to let him distinguish it by himself." ”

The hooker searched among the hooks for a while, but he couldn't tell the difference.

There was a whisper among the ministers, mixed with some ridicule.

King Wu was slightly angry, and his face sank like water. He asked, "You are not yet able to distinguish the golden hooks you have made, which means that your hooks are similar to those of the others." Why do you seek a reward alone? It is also said that killing a son becomes a hook, aren't you afraid that the widow will ask you for the crime of deceiving the king? ”

The hook master was not afraid, knelt down and played: "It is not a lie that the grass people kill their sons into hooks. He had two sons, six-year-old twins. When the grass people heard the king's reward, they killed their two sons and soaked them in blood for 7749 days. The grass people have their own way of distinguishing, so please don't be angry. If the grass people have half a deceitful word, it is not too late for the king to be convicted again. ”

I saw the hook master shouting at the large pile of golden hooks: "Wu Hong, Hu Ji!" Your father is here, why don't you appear before the king to get rid of your father's trouble? And so on and so forth.

I saw that among the large pile of golden hooks, two hooks suddenly flew out, and slowly stuck to the two chests of the hook master, in a snuggling state, which was very pitiful.

The hooker hooked his hands and stroked for a long time, and tears were silently dripping.

King Wu stood up and exclaimed: "What you said is true, this hook already has spirituality, and few people can call it?" ”

The hook master said: "The king is the lord of my country, of course." The king might as well give it a try. Then he put the double hook on the ground and let King Wu test the hook.

King Wu tried to shout: "Wu Hong, Hu Ji!" Why don't you come to the widow's case? He called out several times, but the golden hooks did not move.

The hook master and the king of Wu both looked at each other a little, somehow. Gao Qiang said: "The king issued an edict that those who have extraordinary hooks will be rewarded with 100 gold, and this hook is a spiritual object, and the king has not rewarded his father, and the double hook will not listen." The king might as well reward his father first, and then try again, and maybe succeed. ”

King Wu believed in Gaoqiang's words, ordered the hook master to be rewarded with 100 gold, and then tried each other, and the double hook could obey King Wu's orders. He can't put it down, and he is always equipped with a "cadre" and a golden hook.

After the soldiers were ordered to inspect the Wu realm, they returned to the capital Gusu, heard about the hook master killing the son and casting the hook, and admonished the king of Wu: "The golden hook is just a small weapon, and the hook master kills the son to cast it for a heavy reward, just like killing a chicken to take an egg." His conscience has been broken, and he has lost his humanity, but the king has rewarded him heavily, and if the people follow suit, what should he do? If you get a small weapon but lose the way of heaven, the ministers think it is not advisable to steal it! ”

He Lu suddenly realized, so he abandoned the golden hook and abolished the edict of heavy reward.

The soldiers then reported the results of the inspection to He Lu. told the truth about the people's livelihood and suffering, and played the matter of Ming Qingji: "Now Qingji has fled to the land of Aicheng at the junction of Wu and Chu, and has been recruiting dead soldiers, secretly contacting neighboring countries, and has the heart of me." The king should have prepared for the troubles that followed. ”

Seeing that the performance of the soldiers was deeply in line with his own wishes, he summoned the soldiers into the palace to discuss the strategy of cutting off the celebration taboo. He Lu put the matter of celebrating the taboo as a top priority on the table and put it on the agenda.

(Instructions related to weapons in these two chapters: Mo Xie is a legend, and it is even more implausible for two people to turn into immortals.) However, after modern research, "Mo evil casts into the furnace and fine iron melts" is not made up out of thin air. Because the human body contains a large amount of phosphorus, in the casting process, phosphorus will play a catalyst effect, and some stones become gold. However, there is no scientific basis for "killing children into hooks". This legend can only show that under the vigorous promotion of He Lu, all the people in Wu are "soldiers", and this "soldier" means to make weapons. I pushed the casting and smelting of the country of Wu to the peak at that time. It provides a very important jishu foundation for the hegemony of the future day. Just like now, in order to achieve the status of a great power hegemon, you must have the corresponding great power weapons. The weapon casting jishu of the state of Wu, at that time, must have been ahead of the vassal states, except that the Yue country could be compared with it. ）
