In the wooden box, there was a short sword that was broken in two.

The body of the sword is inserted in an elaborate cowhide sheath, and there are traces of silk fabric wrapping on the outside of the sword, and the hilt is made of Hetian green jade, which has a delicate texture, warm and smooth.

The hilt is hollow and has a copper core inserted into it, connecting the blade to the hilt. It's a pity that due to the long burial, the sword body has been broken into two pieces, and the sheath body has also been stuck to the sword body due to rust and cannot be peeled off.

From the edge of the sword, which is exposed from the fracture, you can recognize that it is a piece of iron, carburized steel that has been carburized for a long time and repeatedly forged, and you can still vaguely see the sharpness and toughness of the past.

This short sword, which integrates iron, copper and jade, is not as well preserved as the Goujian sword, but it is the earliest artificially smelted iron product among the artifacts unearthed from the archaeological excavations in Huaguo, and the time can even be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty, so it is also known as "the first sword in China".

With the revival of the aura, the older it is, the more special it is, and the more well-preserved the holy relics, the sooner some peculiar clues will appear.

For example, this jade-handled iron sword, although it looks broken and unusable at all, but the body is shrouded in a black aura, and the closer you get to it, the more you can feel a biting cold.

"Five days ago, this thing ...... This holy relic began to appear this strange phenomenon, people standing around it can clearly feel the cold, but the existing temperature measurement methods can show that the temperature is very normal. ”

The expression on Lao Zhao's face was serious, and his eyes were also filled with unconcealed jealousy, and he instinctively leaned back slightly, as if he wanted to stay away from this jade-handled iron sword, and then continued:

Moreover, the most unbelievable thing is that the comrade who first discovered the problem, after touching this short sword, the whole person's temperament changed dramatically in an instant, as if he had gone mad, his eyes were red, his face was black, his mouth kept repeating the word "kill", and he tried to kill his companion next to him.

"Fortunately, he was only a civilian, and there were other people present at the time, so he was able to control him in time and did not cause a serious accident."

"Later, when he moved away from the dagger, his sanity gradually returned to normal, but he was completely unaware of the changes that had taken place in him, and he didn't even believe that he had done anything to harm his companions."

"Besides—"

Lao Zhao took a deep breath, then frowned and fanned the smoke, and said in a somewhat low tone: "There is another situation, that is, as long as it is a creature near it, it will slowly die unconsciously, the plants will die completely, the animals will become dried corpses, even people will gradually feel exhausted, if it takes a long time, I am afraid it will be more auspicious, as if ......"

"Drained of life force." Yi Tiancheng exhaled a sigh of smoke, looked at the weird short sword with a smile, and said lightly.

"That's right, that's it, but these anomalies were discovered too late, and Academician Xiao and the others, who were in charge of leading the research on this short sword, fell in less than two days after taking over."

After Lao Zhao introduced the various bad omen of this jade-handled iron sword, he looked up at Yi Tiancheng who was still swallowing clouds and spitting fog on the side, and asked directly: "I think, you should know something!" ”

In this regard, Yi Tiancheng smiled and did not speak, but directly raised his left hand and stretched out into the box.

His move frightened Lao Zhao's eyes widened suddenly, and it was too late to stop it.

Lao Zhao, whose scalp was numb, could only pray silently in his heart, hoping that this embryo killing would not be controlled by the desire to kill, otherwise it would inevitably cause a major disaster.

On Yi Tiancheng's side, the moment his fingertips were about to touch the artifact, he was actively entangled by a wisp of black gas.

Immediately afterwards, a biting cold invaded his body, and began to naturally erode Yi Tiancheng's subconscious.

Those pasts that sleep in the memory, in the mind, and in the depths of the heart, which people can't look back on and can't bear to remember, come to mind one by one, and easily arouse negative emotions such as sadness, despair, anger, hatred, hatred, etc.

Catalyzed by some unknown force, these negative emotions continue to boil and swell, making people irrepressibly breed, a desire to destroy everything in front of them.

In my mind, countless voices were roaring, roaring, and cursing, and a thousand words finally converged into one word—

Kill.

The eyes behind the lenses began to be covered with a blood-colored red glow, which was undoubtedly a sign of infection.

After seeing this scene, Lao Zhao's face was dead and gray, and his heart was on the verge of collapse.

He knew very well that if Yi Tiancheng got out of control, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

The only thing that left him with some hope and felt that the situation was not so collapsed was that Yi Tiancheng was still smoking normally, and he always had a rich smile on the corner of his mouth.

This made Lao Zhao couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, his previous act of giving away cigarettes was really too wise.

"Tiancheng, you must be steady! It's a big deal, Lao Tzu went back to the cigarette factory in person, and promised to get you all the big gold bricks in the inventory. Lao Zhao couldn't help but milk Yi Tiancheng for a while, and he couldn't take care of any principle issues at the critical moment.

As if hearing his words, Yi Tiancheng blinked, those red rays gradually began to dissipate, his pupils gradually focused, and finally regained his clarity.

"That's it, if you regret it, don't blame me for going out personally to eliminate harm for the people!"

"......" Lao Zhao's face stiffened, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and even a few green tendons faintly protruded on his temples, which showed how calm he was in his heart.

On the other hand, Yi Tiancheng didn't care about his mood, but looked at the broken sword in the box with a wicked face, and flicked the sword body with his fingers as if he was provocative.

- Phew!!

A loud but fragmented sound like a flute and other wind instruments echoed in the office, making Lao Zhao, who was still full of resentment, stunned on the spot.

Immediately after, Yi Tiancheng took the last puff of his cigarette, precipitated the smoke in his heart for a moment, and then leaned his head close to the box, spraying the disgust mixed with dragon attribute magic at the broken sword.

- Hiss!!

The white smoke shrouded the broken sword's body, and immediately turned into an ominous black aura, and Lao Zhao, who was watching from the sidelines, just took a breath, and couldn't help but shudder, and his face became even paler.

"Stop playing, put it away." In just a few minutes, Lao Zhao already clearly felt that his body was weak, and he felt that if he let Yi Tiancheng toss like this, even if he was not scared to death, his life would be greatly reduced.

Yi Tiancheng shrugged, then closed the box and put it in the storage space.

"Let's talk about it! What the hell is going on with this sword? Don't tell me you don't know. ”

"This is an evil sword, more precisely, an evil blade, if I guess correctly, this broken sword should be the prototype of the dragon's tooth in the so-called 'Three Great Evil Swords of the Ancients'."

"The Three Great Evil Swords of the Ancients? Dragon's teeth? Lao Zhao frowned, although he couldn't understand these words, it didn't prevent him from comprehending the compulsion.

At the same time, in the nano headset fixed in the pinna, there was relevant introduction and information-

The three evil knives of ancient times, in fact, are just the names given in the online text, referring to the three weapons of "Dragon Tooth Knife", "Tiger Wing Knife" and "Dog God Knife" cast by Chinese ancestors in ancient times.

The time of weapon casting and the maker of the knife can not be verified so far, but at the end of the Xia Dynasty, these three knives were owned by Xia Wangji, who lived in the palace of Qingqiu Mountain in Kaifeng, and enshrined them in the Taimiao, as the murder weapon and witness of Xia Ji's tyranny.

In the legend, when Shang Tang attacked the Taimiao of the Xia Dynasty, black clouds covered the sky, ghosts cried wolves, and the three evil swords of dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods turned into three demonic winds, and the Shang Dynasty army suffered countless casualties. King Tang abandoned Ge and dismounted, broke into the main hall of Taimiao alone with the Xuanyuan Golden Sword, swung his sword and slashed, smashing the three evil swords into pieces and sealing them underground.

When it reappeared, it was already the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, according to the Western Jin Dynasty Chen Shouji's biography of the national history "Three Kingdoms" recorded: "Li Dao with three knives, hand and whip with a blade, the waiter, the waiter saw the battle, all frightened, also with a sword and a knife, first entered the emperor's side." ”

These "three knives" are the "three evil knives" that were sealed in the Xia Dynasty under the temple, Cao Cao sent people to conquer Li Dao, after destroying his three clans, and the fragments of the "three evil knives" were sealed and buried in the Shang Dynasty temple.

Later, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous blacksmith Han Qi discovered the ruins of the Taimiao Temple of the Shang Dynasty in the Kaifeng area, and after opening the seal, he obtained the fragments of the "Three Evil Knives".

According to the records of wild history, there was a faint black gas in the fragments of the "Three Evil Knives" at that time, which caused people to go crazy when they touched it. After Han Qi brought the fragments back to Kaifeng City, he worked with the palace swordsmith to build them, which took one year and eight days to cast the three guillotines of "Descending Dragon", "Fuhu" and "Killing Dog".

After the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor approved it in Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng, who was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion at the time, became the first person in charge of these three guillotines, and evolved it into the "Qingtian Three Guillotine" on behalf of the righteousness of the world.

However, the three evil swords of dragon teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods, appeared and were re-forged in different historical periods, and there was a causal relationship with the reputation of Chi You, Xia Wei and others, so they were given an evil humanistic color, leaving the notoriety of "evil weapons".

"-Whew!"

After understanding the whole ins and outs, Lao Zhao let out a long breath, then closed his eyes, stretched out his thumb and pressed his eyebrows, so that his muddy brain was a little clearer.

He didn't bother to investigate why the jade-handled iron sword was the prototype of the dragon's teeth, and this evil knife fragment fell into Yi Tiancheng's hands, and he didn't feel anything distressed.

In contrast, the current unfolding of all kinds of unimaginable things is what really makes him exhausted.

The accident caused by this jade-handled iron sword is actually far more than what he told Yi Tiancheng, but the incident has already happened, so there is no need to waste time and energy on it, but to find the root cause of the problem, learn from it, and ensure that the same mistakes will not occur again in the future, which is the biggest gain in itself.

"The things are given to you, you deal with them carefully, don't capsize in the gutter."

"Don't worry, the cricket is just a broken sword, and it can't turn the sky."

"Seeing that you are so confident, how can I not worry, I have written down the cigarette matter, and there is one more thing before this, I need to ask you to solve it."

"What's the matter?"

"The Ring City Zoo, where the riot took place in the morning, is cut off by a mysterious force, and the people inside have lost contact, and the outside can't go in now, so please go and see what is going on."

"No problem, but don't forget the cigarettes you said before."

"Didn't your grandfather teach you that minors can't smoke?"

"It's really not, I grew up in the smell of dry tobacco from the old man since I was a child."
