Speaking of these, Jiang Chenyue talked about his mentor - Mr. Zhou Ye.

The twelve Flying Shadow Immortal Swords forged by Zhou Ye were originally prepared for an army, which did not belong to the jurisdiction of any military department, but was an independent entity.

But such a presence is not a reactionary force, on the contrary, this force is still maintained and supported by the state, but there is no record of its real use.

It's a mysterious army, and the military doesn't admit that they exist, but they do have their own system.

The establishment of this army is to select talents from various military districts, but the conditions for selection are unusual and are not judged by physical strength, endurance or even merit.

The most preliminary screening method is to start with their birthdays, and then lock up some people with specific birthdays, not give them food or water, and not release them until a month later.

In this extreme situation, they will unleash their innate talent in order to survive and fight against death in the dark.

Twenty percent of those starved to death, 50 percent killed people to survive, and the rest of the people, who survived without killing people, were what they were looking for.

Strangely, these people were not successfully placed in this particular army, because after the first wave of screening, some of them were executed.

No one knows why, no one knows what is special about these executed people, everything is determined by a mysterious divine operator.

For this person's information, there is a blank, and the only person who executes the order instead of this god operator is called Shanye.

All the actions of people in front of him are arranged by him, but even he himself does not know what everything he does is because of it.

In the bitter cold land of northern China, Shan Ye was responsible for training this army, and invited Zhou Ye, a famous military caster at that time, to forge a batch of strange weapons for him.

The only and most special thing about these twelve Flying Shadow Fairy Knives is their materials and styles, although the knives that exist now have been simplified, but they can also see some extraordinary places, because their original use was to kill the legendary monsters, such as mirages, mountain ghosts, yakshas, blue-faced gods, floating corpses, these legendary things.

The materials were provided by the mountain master, and Zhou Ye only needed to follow his own method to create things.

But when Zhou Ye created the first batch of weapons, he began to regret it, because those weapons were far from being mortal, and they were not at all something that people could control, and if they were used to equip an army, it would be impossible to imagine what the consequences would be.

And he spent a lot of energy, and only cast one set, and when he was about to build it again, a thunder appeared in the sky, and a hole was made in the roof where he was at that time.

Looking at those short soldiers, he had to meet a person, and that person was the world's famous imitator Tao Boxiu.

A few months later, Shan Ye got all the weapons he wanted, and when Zhou Ye asked him about the purpose of these weapons, Shan Ye said warningly, "Don't ask more if you shouldn't ask!" ”

Although he didn't get an accurate answer, Zhou Ye understood that the use of these things could not be for the purpose of fighting with living people, and they were all equipped with short blades, which were only suitable for close combat, and they must be prepared to perform some kind of special mission.

Hearing him say this, Dongfang interjected, "You mean that all the immortal knives sent out by Mr. Zhou Ye are from Tao Boxiu's hands?" ”

Jiang Chenyue shook his head, "It's hard to say, it's just speculation," he said, he picked up the fake dogwood on the coffee table again, "They are indeed extremely sharp and colorful, for offense and defense, they have the purpose of piercing armor and piercing stones, but after all, they are all mortal things, and no matter how sharp they are, they can't kill those things that can't be seen or touched." ”

As he spoke, he put his finger on the blade, "During the Qin Dynasty, it was rumored that in the northwest of Xianyang, there were often blue-faced gods haunting, Yingzheng asked the warlock to check, and after the warlock found out, he returned to the first emperor and said that the stone bones in the mountains were made into essence, and he was a haunt in the world. ”

"The blue-faced god?" I have almost never heard of such legends, but listening to his explanations, it seems that they are very secretive.

"You mean this army is there to deal with these mountain spirits and tree monsters, and to continue the warlock's business?"

"Perhaps,"

"Have you ever seen any of these real knives?"

Jiang Chenyue suddenly fell silent, his fingers touched the blade, thinking for a while, but finally shook his head, "They are all stored in Master's secret room, and we don't have a chance to see them at all." ”

"Then how do you know that Mr. Zhou Ye went to find Tao Boxiu?"

"Because a few years ago, I went to the place where Master made the fairy sword, and I saw the casting room and a notebook that had been slashed by the heavenly thunder, but the only thing I didn't see was the remaining materials sent by the mountain master."

"If he wants a lot of fairy knives, then the materials he sends are definitely not something that can be used up by casting just one set. Therefore, at that time, the master must have transferred them to other places, and those daggers used to conceal the mountain master also needed a large amount of mineral iron, and this iron also had a certain strength! ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chenyue suddenly cut his finger with the dagger, and saw a drop of blood cut down along the blade.

We didn't understand why he was hurting himself, and we were about to ask, but we saw him hold the dagger in front of us and motioned for us to see the blood beads on it.

I leaned over to look at it a few times, and felt that there was nothing special, so I asked him, but the other party was not in a hurry to answer, and asked me to take a closer look.

"The blood on this blade, gathered but not dispersed? Could it be that there is something special about this metal?! Dongfang suddenly said something unusual.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this metal, I have checked, it is like iron of alkaline factors, there is a lot of organic matter, the surface is very smooth, like a tile, in a short time can contain things containing the same substance!"

His theory is actually very strange, what is the same substance as blood? But whatever it is, it shouldn't be what you have in metal!

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, he also shrugged, "If I knew what the reason for this was, I wouldn't be Master's apprentice!" ”

"So, you don't know, didn't you guess what you just said?"

"Just the most likely theory!"

I was a little speechless, and there was nothing tangible to talk about, but at least the purpose of the trip was achieved.

Since it came to the issue of the fairy sword, Dongfang asked a few more irrelevant words, "After that, did you investigate those materials, as well as this Tao Boxiu, and even the mountain master and that mysterious army?" ”

"I was curious before, and I was going to check it out, but the master didn't let me, and I was worried that I would have caused some trouble, if you hadn't come over with this dagger today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have remembered him again for the rest of my life."

"When you said you were in Jiangnan, when did you meet this person, because of the investigation of those fairy knives or those materials?"

Jiang Chenyue heard Dongfang ask this, and shook her head with a smile, "It's just a very accidental chance, and it has nothing to do with those things." ”

Obviously, this is an unsatisfactory answer, but seeing that he doesn't want to reveal more about the fairy knife, we don't want to ask too much, after all, Mr. Zhou Ye has already explained, and if he says too much, it will inevitably cause trouble.

After getting the result we were looking for, we said thank you and prepared to leave, and Ye Tianlian said that he invited us to dinner, and it was not too late to leave, I thought about it, or forget it.

Before leaving, Dongfang asked again, "Will you go to Jiangnan?" ”

Jiang Chenyue waved her hand at him and said, "Maybe, that old man has a very strange temper, but there are some questions that must be asked of him." ”

When Ye Tian saw us off, I remembered to ask the man's name, but when I asked Dongfang, he said he didn't know.

When he asked Ye Tian again, he hesitated and said that this person's surname was Gu and his name was Gu Yu.

Except for this name, Ye Tian didn't say anything else, I don't know if Jiang Chenyue didn't let him say it? Or does he not know either?

Leaving Jiang Chenyue's house, I called Lao Zhong to tell him how we were and how he was doing.

Lao Zhong replied that he had already dumped those people and was now preparing to go back to the Forbidden City, and asked us to go back quickly, because the materials brought back from Yunnan still have to be processed.

Those words stored a lot of clues related to that ruin, and even the box, which even contained things that Liu Qingchun wanted.

I said yes, saying we had something to do here, and we'd be back later.

After hanging up the phone, I looked to the east, he was still thinking about Jiang Chenyue's words just now, if the dagger we found was the exclusive equipment of that mysterious army, it means that the people in that army back then may have been to this ruin.

But the dagger could not have served as something to prove identity, because it was possible for anyone to get the dagger, such as from the hands of a corpse, stolen from some people, or even directly killed the owner of the dagger and snatched it from him.

After ruling out all the possibilities, there are not many places we can be sure of, maybe we can only know some clues by finding that Tao Boxiu.

Since all the daggers may have been forged by him, could he be the owner of this dagger?

I tried to think of all kinds of possibilities to break through the current predicament, but in the end there was no definite answer, so I had to give up thinking so endlessly.

took out the address Gu Yu gave me, and asked Ye Tian to drive around a few traffic jams, and he was almost to the restaurant, but at this time, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, he slowly slowed down, took out his mobile phone while driving, and connected the phone.

The phone call was from Mr. Ye, saying that he should let Ye Tian go back quickly, there are many things at home that keep him busy.

In desperation, he could only park the car on the side of the road and explain a few words to the old man, but the other party didn't give him a chance to explain at all, and directly said - "Come back quickly!" ”

"Hey! Looks like I'll have to go back to working as a coolie again, but it's not far ahead, and you know the address, so I'll have to send you here. ”

It could be seen that the tone on the other end of the phone was very strong, and we didn't delay Ye Tian much, and after saying goodbye to him, we walked forward.

After walking a few hundred meters, we saw this small restaurant located in the downtown area, but as soon as I entered, I felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the feeling of being stared at was familiar.
