The 1416th Yellow River Secret (54) The Ghost King's Scythe
I was going to go to the tent with the weapons, but I had to put them down! But I had only taken two steps, and when I looked back, I saw two old fellows crouched on the ground studying the sickle.
What's the research on that thing, isn't it just a scythe? Besides, the three of us definitely can't bring it back. Wrong, Uncle Ma should have the ability to bring this thing back.
I walked over, looked at the two old men, and said, "How do you like this sickle!" Okay, I'm in charge, you can take it back, whether it's for mowing the grass or harvesting the crops. ”
Bai Yinzhong stretched out his hand and pulled me down directly and said, "You kid is stupid, take a good look at this sickle, do you think it's a little strange?" "Faint, is it necessary to be so nervous!
I crouched down and took a closer look at the scythe, and honestly I didn't know what was wrong with this thing. I was born in the city, so I haven't seen much of a farm tool like a scythe. It's just that when you grow up, you also see others use it. So if you want me to look at this thing, hehe, it's really hard for me.
I looked at it and shook my head and said, "I think it's good, there's nothing wrong with it!" If Jin Nantian or Chi Chao were here, the two of them should be able to see the problem here. ”
Uncle Ma didn't raise his head and said, "Actually, the biggest problem with this sickle is his workmanship." Judging by the material of this scythe, it is certainly not a modern product. However, in ancient times, it was impossible to make such a large sickle due to low production skills, right? ”
Uncle Ma's words made me understand immediately, yes, although the ancient metallurgical techniques were also very powerful. But that belongs to casting, such as the Zhenshui Iron Ox created by Li Bing's father and son back then, and so on.
In terms of manufacturing, it is commonly referred to as the iron striking piece. To make such a scythe, it must require a lot of labor and materials. And building something like this is also seen as a big thing. In many cases, it will be recorded in historical materials. However, it seems that there is no record of such a large scythe in the historical materials we see now.
I looked at Uncle Ma and said, "By the way, Uncle Ma, you were very powerful just now, and you grabbed the sickle at once, this kung fu is not bad to learn, teach me when you want, and I will use this trick next time I encounter such a thing." ”
Uncle Ma rolled his eyes and looked at me, and said directly: "I found that you kid is sometimes very smart, and sometimes stupider than a pig." If this scythe is real, the ghost is a yin body, that is, an imaginary body, how can it be picked up, and how can it be used? ”
yes, how did I forget about that. The ghost is a yin body, and if it is a tree, it will either attach itself to the tree or walk through the tree. It's simply impossible to hold on to a tree or break a branch from a tree. Therefore, after the appearance of ordinary ghosts, it is impossible to use the weapons of the yang world.
Even if you want to use it, it is manipulated with yin qi, and it is impossible to hold it directly in your hand. The ghost king just now was in his hand, which shows that the scythe is not a thing in the yang world. But if that's the case, it should turn into a ball of gas when it falls to the ground. However, the scythe was not only nailed to the wooden box, but it did not turn into gas when it fell to the ground.
Uncle Ma leaned his head against me and said, "I didn't grab the sickle at first, because I was afraid of being hurt by this thing." Later, I suddenly saw the sickle glowing, and I thought to myself that things in the underworld would not shine, unless they were in the yang world, and ordinary ghosts in the yang world would not really be able to use it. So I had the courage to catch it, but I didn't expect to be caught in one fell swoop. ”
I gave Uncle Ma a thumbs up and said, "You are really bold enough, if you make a mistake, won't you hurt yourself?" Besides, you have other magic weapons just now, why do you have to try it like this! ”
Uncle Ma smiled and didn't speak, Bai Yinzhong patted me and said, "I understand, in fact, a certain part of this sickle hides the eight characters of the ghost king." Therefore, the ghost king can only be attached to the scythe, and as its ability changes, it will gradually be able to use this scythe. ”
I clapped my hands and said, "This reason is very sufficient, and it can also be said that in the past, the ghost king would use the weapon of the yang world. But how does it help us to know this? ”
Uncle Ma glanced at me and said, "Why have you really become a stupid person!" What do you think about it, to put the eight characters of the ghost king in the sickle? If it's just to protect the tomb, you can use the ghost king. The ghost king who glowed red all over his body was cultivated with the yin blood of nine hundred and ninety-nine women. Not whoever comes can solve it completely. ”
I nodded, yes, such a ghost king is indeed not something that ordinary people can solve, don't look at Uncle Ma who has accepted the ghost king now, but it will take a lot of effort to completely eliminate such a ghost king.
So I said to Uncle Ma, "You mean to say that the picture we need is actually in this sickle?" Even if an ordinary person solves the ghost king, it is impossible to think that there is a picture in the scythe. And such a ghost king is not easy to solve, even if a master like the two comes and destroys the ghost king. As long as its eight characters are still in the scythe, it will still play some role. ”
Bai Yinzhong let out a long breath, lifted my chin and said, "Come, show me how long your mouth is, it's really difficult for you to be able to explain such a tongue-twisting thing clearly." ”
I took his hand away and said, "Then what are you two waiting for, hurry up and look for it, see where the picture is!" He jumped up from the ground as he spoke. Uncle Ma and Bai Yinzhong looked up at me together!
I immediately realized that I was wrong, and I smiled and began to look for a place to hide something on the scythe. Soon we found a switch at the end of the handle, and here we found a piece of silk cloth. There is a set of eight characters written on it, and it must be the ghost king without asking.
But nothing else was found in the only clue. Uncle Ma also felt very strange and searched carefully again. But there really isn't anything else except the eight characters we just found.
Are we really wrong? I sighed and stood up, and walked towards a few corners to get ready for a while. When I was done, I looked back and saw Uncle Ma sitting next to the sickle, looking up at the air that was about to brighten. And Bai Yinzhong sat on the side and pondered with his head against his head.
I was also listlessly walking in that direction, when suddenly I saw a flash of light on the sickle. Actually, this is nothing, but a question suddenly occurred to me. Maybe the figure is on the face of the sickle, but with a special process.
Thinking of this, I ran over and told Uncle Ma and Bai Yinzhong what I had just thought. The two of them thought I was a little whimsical, but I wanted to give it a try.
With the help of the two of them, we stood up the scythe. However, the sun has not yet fully risen, so it is impossible for the light to reach this position. We figured out how to fix it and then hid to the side and waited.
This time was a little longer, and Bai Yinzhong and I leaned on each other and actually fell asleep. When I was sleeping soundly, I was kicked all of a sudden. I hurriedly jumped up, brushing the hara that flowed out and looked around nervously.
Because I jumped up suddenly, Bai Yinzhong lost his support and was awakened. Uncle Ma looked at me and said, "Fatty, you guessed right this time." Looking at the shadow on the ground, we found the picture. ”
As soon as I heard it, I looked at a circle of light around us and said, "The picture is found, but it is not drawn on paper or silk." But two old-timers, can you read the content on the picture? ”
Because this aperture is constantly turning, and I can't read some of the things drawn on it. When Uncle Ma saw this, he said to me, "There are two rivers on this picture, but one of them is dominated by two teams. So some people ran into another river and hid their things. ”
I nodded and said to Uncle Ma, "If that's the case, then there will be only one place." 100% is the Yellow River, but the Yellow River is relatively large, and I don't know where the road is. ”
Uncle Ma smiled, pointed to the picture of the event and said, "Look at that position, there is a character shape. I think you should know who Lu Dao is! I looked in the direction he was pointing.
This one is a little awkwardly drawn, coupled with the fact that it turns on uneven ground. So I didn't recognize it for a while, and after looking at it for a long time, I said, "The painting looks like the Queen Mother of the West!" Is it in Gansu? ”
Uncle Ma patted me on the shoulder and said, "There is a county town over there, and it is the only place where the Yangtze River passes through the northwest. And after coming out of there, it is the Yellow River Basin that bypasses the county seat. Therefore, it is also in line with the route of the mediocre people at that time. ”
When I heard this, I suddenly understood, no wonder Master went to Gansu. I would still wonder if I had to go to the Yellow River to investigate what was going on in the Yangtze River Basin. Now I understand, it turns out that Master and they have long known the Tao. Thinking of this, I turned my head to look at Bai Yinzhong
