Twenty-eighth, the Great War Jing Ke
"Brother Tonghai, what kind of means did you use with that little white cloth flag just now?" Zhao Yuankang handed Tonghai a cigarette.
"That's the Soul Banner." Tonghai took a deep puff of cigarette and replied.
"Huh? I've only heard of this thing, but that's not what the Soul Banner looks like, why are you using a small flag? Zhao Yuankang was puzzled in his heart.
A spirit flag is a flag that is hung vertically to attract ghosts during funerals. After the deceased is buried in the grave, the soul banner will be inserted on the tomb until it is gone with the wind.
Generally, three pieces of wood or bamboo are used, one is placed vertically and two are placed horizontally, and a piece of cloth is hung in the middle. On the left side of the cloth is written the birthday of the deceased, on the right side is the date of the deceased's death, and in the middle is the name of the deceased.
For example, the white banner should be carried by the eldest son, the flower banner should be carried by the eldest grandson, and the red banner should be carried by the great-grandson.
"This is a kind of suggestion to attract the soul, otherwise, would we really be a big banner to carry on?" Tonghai explained with a smile. Thinking about it, many immortal methods only need to play their role, and the specific form is not so important.
"Don't look at my small flag, but the power is infinite, this white cloth is soaked in the water of white dew for ten days, and then exposed to the scorching sun in midsummer for ten days, and it is made of water and fire." Tonghai introduced.
"Besides, you see that red blood, it's the blood of a three-year-old soul-attracting rooster comb. With these two Yang Things, you can collect a hundred ghosts at a time. ”
Tonghai's face had a look of pride, this kind of treasure was one of the five treasures of his master's sect, and it was a magic weapon that many people dreamed of.
The two calmed down for a while, and then walked in the direction of the underground palace. Concubine Zhen's mausoleum is in the underground palace, which is the key to this trip.
But when he came to the gate of the underground palace, he found that there was another team of Yin soldiers blocking the way, about fifty people.
The first person was dressed in white, with long hair flying. A pair of eyes flashed like electricity, his face was as calm as frost, exuding a heroic and extraordinary aura, and he was by no means an idle person.
"What do you want to do here late at night?" The man in white asked.
"Hehe, I came here late at night, naturally to find a treasure in the dungeon." Tonghai does not hide it.
"I'm afraid those two came in vain, please go back." The man in white said coldly.
"You're the oldest, if you say back, we'll go back!" Zhao Yuankang was also furious.
"Here, I've got the final say, I'm Jing Ke!!"
"What?! Jing Ke? Tonghai and Zhao Yuankang both looked cold, and their palms couldn't help but clench a little.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, but they both saw the meaning of retreat from each other's eyes.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, as a person from Hebei, and even a person from North China, there are almost no people who don't know Jing Ke.
This guy is definitely a ruthless character. At that time, Qin Shi Huang led the Qin army to dominate the world, although all countries had enemies for the death of the country, but only Jing Ke dared to draw his sword and assassinate.
Although he failed at the last moment, he was not praised as a righteous warrior and a great hero by later generations, and was listed as one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn Period (Zhuanzhu, Nie Zheng, Yurang, and Jing Ke).
They take "the soldier is a confidant and dies" as their life creed. With their courage to regard death as their home and their feat of shaking the mountains and rivers, they have left their chivalrous names in history and made their heroic names immortal.
Compared with others, Jing Ke has both wisdom and courage, just a picture of the poor dagger, it is enough to see his heroic demeanor.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful, it turned out to be the great hero Jing Ke who has been passed down through the ages! See you today, Sansheng is lucky. ”
The two were rude, and they respected this big man from the bottom of their hearts. Especially Zhao Yuankang, he has been influenced by Yan Zhao culture since he was a child, and when he grew up, he focused on history again, and naturally regarded Jing Ke as a hero in his hometown.
As far as he knew, Jing Ke was buried in Chaoge after his death, by the Qi River in the southern part of present-day Hebi City, Henan. What was buried in Yi County was just a mound of clothes.
But ghosts can move thousands of miles, and after death, ghosts will return to their hometowns to live. A historical-level ghost like Jing Ke naturally wants to establish a foundation in a famous place.
Besides, the Ming and Qing dynasties built imperial tombs here, how could he let others get involved in this big job?
The eunuch cemetery and other desperate places have become the territory of Wei Eunuch's party, not to mention the auspicious land where the dragon veins gather.
"Senior Jing, we have no intention of violating here, we just want to take an important object, which will not disturb the souls of the dead in the mausoleum, nor will it ruin your prestige."
Tonghai Zhenren has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and his experience is far richer than that of Zhao Yuankang. These words are neither humble nor arrogant, and they also give Jing Ke enough face.
"Actually, the treasures here are also useful to the people of your Yang World, and they have no meaning for me, a thousand-year-old soul. But here, it's not like everyone can come and go when they want to. ”
The white-clothed Jing Ke's eyes were cold, and his long hair was blowing in the wind, as if he had returned to the crazy swordsman who looked at the world and drew his sword and looked around.
"Jing Ke, you are a righteous man in vain, you are the most ruthless and unrighteous, even if you exhaust your efforts, you are powerless to prevent Qin Shi Huang from unifying the six countries, you are just a brave man. You don't deserve to be called a hero!! ”
Zhao Yuankang couldn't help but drink, although Jing Ke was able to sacrifice himself for others and go to the soup to fight the fire, but he was ruthless enough, first booby-trapped Fan Yuqi, and then instigated Qin Wuyang, and finally was defeated and killed, even Prince Yan Dan and Gao Yanli could not escape the fate of being killed.
This is also the regret of Jing Ke's life, and it is the pain point of his life, which is rarely mentioned in the world.
"Ignorant junior, he actually insulted me and looked for death!!" Jing Ke was furious.
His ghost shadow flickered, his left and right hands fluttered, and two ghostly qi turned into two flying swords and broke through the air.
"Not good!!" Tong Hai reacted quickly, pulling out a thirteen money sword and swinging the ghost sword, while pulling Zhao Yuankang to retreat.
This Jing Ke is not an ordinary ghost, when he was a human, he was already arrogant and wanton, and after becoming a ghost, he carried forward the ruthless atmosphere. Now, leading the ghost pawns and taking charge of the killing, he is even more arrogant, how can he be humiliated by a nameless junior.
His arms were linked, and there were more than a dozen flying swords to dominate the two. At the same time, the Yin soldiers were instructed to block the way of the two.
Tonghai hurriedly pulled out the soul-attracting banner from his back and sacrificed it in the air, wanting to subdue the Yin soldiers.
But in the distance, Jing Ke let out a strange roar and shot out a fist-sized black and purple round stone. There are words in the mouth:
The banner hangs the treasure number, Puli is boundless, the gods protect it, extinguish sin and eliminate sorrow,
After the banner falls, the clouds return to the sky, and each obeys the decree of the law, and shall not be delayed.
Haste is like the Jade Emperor's divine decree.
The black-purple cobblestone was three inches long in the wind, and a dark wind rolled up in the air, sucking the white flag towards it.
This thing should have been placed in the coffin all year round, and it had absorbed enough yin qi to become the most yin and evil thing.
"It's not good, this guy has become a ghost, and he can actually cast a spell!"
Tonghai Zhenren let out a long sigh, and fought with all his strength in his hands, but the ghost sword on the side was swishing and flying, and he was distracted, and he was pierced into his left shoulder by the sword qi of the flying sword.
As soon as the cold qi entered the body, the soul attraction banner lost control, and was instantly sucked away by the black stone and into Jing Ke's hands.
Jing Ke temporarily collected the flying sword, and led the ghost guards to guard the entrance of the underground palace, waiting for the two to leave by themselves.
Zhao Yuankang helped Tonghai Zhenren to sit on a bluestone 100 meters away from Jing Ke, tore his shoulder and looked at it, and a blue mark appeared in his eyes.
Tonghai took out a porcelain bottle from his bag and asked him to pour some red and white powder from it. It contains cinnabar, lime, alum and other substances, and the powder is applied to the bruises, which quickly dissipates the swelling and calms the yin qi.
"Brother, it's not that my brother doesn't help you, it's really that this Jing Ke is too powerful, my soul attractions have been taken away by him, and he can't stop fighting, so it's a mercy to his subordinates."
Tong Hai said in a low voice, Zhao Yuankang also understood that what he said was true, if Jing Ke intended to kill, they would have no chance at all.
"If you want to break through now, you can't do it without a special magic weapon, I don't have any powerful magic weapons, I don't know if you have any good things, brother, if you don't have something to restrain Jing Ke, I think let's go."
Tonghai Zhenren was a little helpless, but he didn't completely give up his confidence, he could only hope that Zhao Yuankang had a hidden means.
It seems that you can't hide your secrets, only use the Blood Cube.
"Big brother, to tell you the truth, I still have a strange treasure, but I can't fully grasp it yet, and now I'm in danger, so I can only take a risk." Zhao Yuankang said with a guilty face.
"Okay, then I'll help you drag Jing Ke, you find the right opportunity to sacrifice the magic weapon, if you can't succeed, let's run quickly!" Tonghai was silent, but he had planned it in an instant.
"Jing Ke, come on, that thing, I am bound to get it, my brother can die at the hands of you, the hero of Yishui, and it is enough to comfort his life."
Tonghai let out a long roar, slashed at Jing Ke with a sword, broke through the air with a sword, and moved forward bravely, and the ghosts and gods were shocked.
Jing Ke shot ten more flying swords in pursuit, and at the same time commanded the Yin soldiers to besiege Zhao Yuankang.
Zhao Yuankang reversed the peachwood sword, and with a brush, he cut a wound on his left arm, and blood spurted out like a pillar. The ghosts in front of him were forced to dissipate by the breath of blood.
He pulled out the Blood Cube and threw it into the air, and the blood was quickly poured into it. With a twist of his finger, he smashed straight in the direction of Jing Ke.
This blood cube covered the sky and the sun, and with endless surging blood, it rushed into the ghost pawn array.
Even a ghost like Jing Ke, who had killed extremely hard, didn't dare to take on this earth-shaking divine object, so he had to turn into a cloud of green smoke and dissipate away.
Zhao Yuankang accepted the Blood Rubik's Cube, picked up Tonghai Zhenren, and walked towards the underground palace.
