Chapter 149: Yi Shui Jue: Six Edicts
As soon as the sword was in her hand, a trace of surprise flashed in Jing Chuwei's eyes, and she nodded secretly - this sword is made of pig iron, iron blue and black, heavy and unrelenting, with elephant skin as the sheath, decorated with rhino horns, painted dragon head flower inscriptions on the seal, and wrapped with steps, which is different from the stereotyped sword system in the northwest of the Central Plains, but has a unique beauty.
"Good sword, this sword is different from the system of the Northwest Border Pass, the blade is shorter, the sword is wider, but there are blades on all sides, and the sharpness is abnormal." Jing Chuwei said secretly, "But I don't know where it comes from?" ”
Thinking of this, Jing Chuwei suddenly blew her finger whistle, and after a while, she heard a long neighing from the horse, and the two Golgon war horses before seemed to have a sense.
The four hooves spread out, hissing long, as if answering, rushing to the ground, quickly approaching in the direction of Jing Chuwei.
Jing Chuwei lifted the short sword, swept her feet, and came to the second horse, she first looked down at Princess Ashina: I saw her lying on the horse's back, her jade cheeks were covered with sand, her eyes were closed, her eyelashes were long and thick, her chest was calm, she could hardly see the ups and downs, she didn't move, and she looked like she was dead.
It's just that what Princess Ashina doesn't know is that Jing Chuwei doesn't look at breathing when judging the living and the dead.
She was born with a sense of perception and was extremely acute.
They can often rely on the qi emitted by people and livestock to sense the life and death of each other and the flow of qi.
Its sensing ability even surpasses that of wild animals in nature.
Jing Chuwei observed the princess for a long time, her face was surprised, and she said in her heart: "I once heard Deputy Marshal Huyan say that the deeper this person's internal strength, the thinner and longer the breathing, and the more accurate the control of breathing. This Princess Ashina, even her breath is almost gone, and it seems that she has a lot of internal skills. ”
When thinking about this, Jing Chuwei suddenly felt that in the depths of Princess Ashina's four veins, there seemed to be a stream of true qi that began to flow, but it was impossible to see it on the surface.
Jing Chuwei stared for a long time, but she didn't break it.
She shook her head, took out a yellowed sheepskin scroll from the satchel on horseback, opened it gently, and the first line of the scroll was written in a small seal - "The Great Wilderness: Hidden Sword Record", the author's anonymous soft sheepskin unfolded inch by inch on the sand, and the sword-shaped pattern was hand-painted on it, which was extremely exquisite and detailed, and even next to the pattern, there was a exploded map and a historical introduction.
Jing Chuwei flipped through at will, her bright eyes just swept lightly, and suddenly they were as bright as ice and snow!
"Six edict swords? It turned out to be the Six Edict Swords produced by Cangshan and Erhai! Jing Chuwei was terrified. After a long time, he muttered: "It is nearly 4,000 miles from Erhai to Zisai, and it takes nearly half a year to set off by horse at the beginning of the year and arrive at Zisai." Even if it is 800 miles expedited, it will take about three months at the earliest. Looking at this person's outfit, it is definitely not a swordsman from my Central Plains, but a swordsman from Nanzhao! ”
The Six Zhao Swords in Jing Chuwei's mouth are the predecessors of the Southern Zhao Sword in the early Tang Dynasty. It comes from the Cangshan Erhai (Yunnan) area, and its history can be said to be quite long.
As early as the Han and Jin dynasties, the production of iron in the Erhai area was very common.
According to the record of "Xi'er River Wind and Soil": "there are cities, villages, bows, arrows, spears", and in the tombs of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the Erhai area, a large number of sword weapons have also been found, indicating that in the southwest at that time, iron weapons have been produced in large quantities.
In the early Tang Dynasty before the unification of the Six Edicts of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, there were many small countries in the area of Cangshan and Erhai Lake, and they did not serve each other, and the countries were constantly attacking each other.
Among these many small countries, the Mengwei Edict, the Yue Analysis Edict, the Langqiong Edict, the Summoning Edict, the Shi Lang Edict, and the Mengshe Edict are the strongest, and they are known as the "Six Edicts of Erhai" in history.
And Mengshe Zhao is the predecessor of the Nanzhao State that unified the six edicts in the future.
As a slave country, the six edicts often waged wars against foreign edicts, and their weapons were not only huge, but also had a wide variety of types of systems, including Li bows, medicine arrows, crossbows, spears, Miao knives, bamboo guns, brute swords, rattan armor and so on.
Among them, the most famous are the Duo Sheath, Yu Blade, and Lang Sword, known as the "Six Edicts and Three Swords".
The Duo Sheath is also known as the Duo Sheath Sword, which is shaped like a "broken halberd remnant". The handle is decorated with gilding, sharp and abnormal, and the number is: "all the points are holes". The ancient language of the Bai nationality is subdivided into six types, namely: Green Po Moqiu, Qi Yunfu, Duo Yu, Duo Mana, Tong Duo, and Zhu Cao.
The Yu knife is also known as the "Yu blade", and the casting method is not revealed. According to historical records, poison and insects were used for forging, and horse blood was used for quenching. After the knife is formed, it contains severe poison, and the throat is sealed with blood, and the wound is daunting.
And the wave sword.
It is the prototype of the famous Nanzhao sword in the future.
The method of making swords is "forging pig iron, taking the juice, and if so, several times, cooking it." The sword is formed, that is, the head is dressed with a rhinoceros and decorated with gold and blue". The most famous of the Nanzhao swords is the "Lang Sword", also known as the "Langchuan Sword", which is named after the origin of the "Three Lang Zhao", that is, the hometown of the Lang and the Lang.
Langjian "stone and iron are like mud, blowing hair and wind", and it is one of the sharpest Nanzhao swords.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the horse lance with the ring head knife was the mainstream in the army.
Many of the generals of the time have records of using the horse lance ring head sword on the battlefield. For example, Chen An, the general of Later Zhao, is accustomed to holding a ring-headed sword in one hand and a horse lance in the other.
In the contemporary era where spears are mainly used and ring-headed knives are supplemented.
The most practiced by the warriors of the Six Edicts of the Southwest was swordsmanship.
These southwestern Yi selected strong men from the white barbarians, black barbarians, and black barbarians to join the army, and adopted the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Wuhou selected the 'Wudang Flying Military Method' - over the mountains and mountains, torrents and waters, weight-bearing marches and Nanban swordsmanship are all refined, all-encompassing.
These soldiers of the Six Edicts were dressed in iron armor, hung double swords on their backs, carried 15 liters of grain and rice, each carried fish breasts, climbed mountains and mountains as if walking on flat ground, and were extremely good at melee field combat.
Moreover, the state does not provide military rations. All supplies, loot must be grabbed on the battlefield on your own!
In addition to fighting the Central Plains and Tibet for many years, the swordsmen of the Six Edicts also fought against Annam, Honsavady, Siam and other regions.
Among the six edict swordsmen, the highest title is "Luo Thozi". Status reference - Qi Jiji, Wei Wushu, Zhao Bianqi, Qin Ruishi.
And the most terrifying thing about them is the terrifying sword technique that dismemberes flesh and flesh and cuts off human bones........
