Chapter 22
Qi Yuancheng and the three of them returned to the old house and simply ate some food to replenish their energy.
Qi Yuancheng saw that Hua Banxue was still worried, so he asked, "Senior sister, are you sure you can find that monster?" ”
Hua Banxue smiled bitterly and said, "How can you be sure." I just know the nature of this poison. Ignorant of what monsters look like and what they have other abilities. I don't know where to find it. Just now I just let Xiaoshi feel at ease, after all, it's useless to be anxious. ”
Wang Zhifei also said: "Senior sister is really embarrassed. It's a shame for us big men to let a delicate schoolgirl and a ten-year-old kid fight any monsters. Senior sister, is the letter stone here for you? In the evening, I will be able to contemplate again, and maybe I will be able to bless some divine power tomorrow. ”
The two were amused by Wang Zhifei, Hua Banxue was in a better mood, reached out and took out the letter stone and handed it to him, saying, "Lend the stone to you, don't lose it." But maybe the monster will sense the letter stone too, and maybe it will come at night. ”
Wang Zhifei was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed the letter stone to Qi Yuancheng and said, "Old Qi, you have more strength, or you take the insurance." ”
Qi Yuancheng scolded with a smile: "You cowardly can do it." Not even a small stone. He just wanted to return the letter stone to Hua Banxue, but put it in his pocket and said, "It's okay to let me go, I'll study it." Maybe I'll become a superpower tomorrow, don't be envious, Lao Wang. ”
Hua Banxue saw that Qi Yuancheng put away the stone when he heard what he said, and understood that he was thinking about himself, and he was afraid that he would really be in danger with the letter stone, and his heart was also sweet.
The three of them didn't say anything all night.
Early the next morning, Chief Ishimura came to find the three of them early. As soon as he entered, he saw that the three of them were washing and tidying up, so he said, "Three teachers, I have gathered the best people in the village, and the fog seems to have subsided a little today." How about we go into the mountains after dinner? ”
Wang Zhifei said: "Chief Shicun, a large number of people may not be useful, the key is equipment." ”
The village chief said, "Don't worry, I have gathered all the spears, hunting knives, and muskets of the hunters in the village. Our equipment is definitely better than yesterday. ”
As he spoke, Chief Shi took out a simple short sword from his waist and handed it to Qi Yuancheng. He said, "Teacher Qi, this is the antiquities in the village that I talked about yesterday. It has been hidden in the village ancestral hall, and it has not rusted at all for so many years, and it is very sharp. ”
Qi Yuancheng stretched out his hand and took the short sword. I saw that this short sword was more than a foot long, and the hilt and scabbard were all cast in copper, and the appearance was simple, and there was only a fish scale pattern decoration at the beginning and tail. Qi Yuancheng has studied antiquities, but he can't tell the age of this sword. He gripped the hilt of his sword and drew it with a slight force. I saw that the blade of this short sword was shining with cold light, and the sword body was shiny, and there were two ancient characters engraved on it, which were similar to the stone inscriptions of the village.
"Senior sister, look at this word. Is it the same age as the stone carvings on that day? He showed the sword body to Hua Banxue.
Hua Banxue carefully identified it, and exclaimed in a low voice: "Could it be that this word is 'fish-intestine'?!" ”
Qi Yuancheng was also taken aback, and said, "Is it the assassin's swordfish intestine?" ”
Hua Banxue shook her head and said: "Fish intestines have been famous since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it may not be imitated by later generations. However, judging from this inscription, it is quite ancient. ”
Wang Zhifei took the sword and waved it, then picked up a wooden stick and sharpened it, but there was no resistance as cutting tofu.
Chief Shi said proudly: "This ancient sword is very precious, and it is said that it has also been passed down from ancestors. People in the village rarely see it, only I take it out to wipe and worship during the New Year's holidays. ”
