Chapter 219: Two Kinds of Invitations

When I unfastened the rope from the handle, there was a ring of finger marks on it, which looked like the marks of someone holding it in my hand for a long time.

I compared it with my hand, and the circle of finger marks happened to be in the middle of the hilt, and the knuckles appeared unusually thick, even twice as large as a normal person.

Although I didn't have much research on the Toyo sword, I did know that the Toyo sword has a long and narrow blade, and you should hold the knife with both hands when chopping to exert its power. If the finger marks on the handle of the sword are to make it easier for the samurai to hold the sword, it should be cast in a way that is up, up, down, and straight, rather than in the middle, which will affect the warrior's performance.

I picked the ropes from five knives in quick succession, each with a handprint on the handle, two of which were left-handed and three right-handed.

"What's going on?" As I was talking to myself, Akihakuno walked over and said, "This should be the legendary Seal of the Gods." ”

Akihakuno explains, "In ancient times, gods, emperors, and samurai were the objects of greatest worship of the Orientals, and this is still the case today. In mythology, weapons are a medium that can connect gods and samurai. ”

"This long knife with a mudra is a weapon that was once held by the gods according to legend. If you look closely at the handprints on the hilt, it is difficult to see that there are traces of artificial carving. Orientals believe that this is something that comes naturally, that is, the testimony of the gods left on earth. ”

I picked up my long knife and looked again. According to Aki Hakuno, the handprint on it should have been artificially carved, but it became very natural after technical treatment.

In my opinion, this is not the case at all. When people hold a knife, due to personal qualities, the weight of the finger force is slightly different, and the marks left by the fingers will also be light and heavy. It is impossible to express all the details of the hand-carved things so perfectly.

The reason why I chose to buy these five knives is because I felt the yin qi on the hilt. One of the owners of these knives is definitely a non-human being.

I didn't explain this to Qiu Baiye, and simply asked, "Which god do you think these knives should represent?" ”

"These handprints are the same size, there are left and right......," Akihakuno muttered, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be from the Thousand Swords God...... The Thousand Swords God is a god formed after the Thousand-armed Kannon was tampered with by the Orientals. In Buddhism, the thousand-armed Guanyin is born with a thousand hands, in order to benefit all sentient beings; However, the Thousand Swords Venerable of the Oriental Ocean is holding a thousand long knives, and the blades are bleeding. ”

According to legend, the original meaning of the Thousand Swords Venerable was to collect all the butcher knives in the world, which does not conflict with compassion, and even has the meaning of putting down the butcher knives. However, in the later evolution, the Thousand Swords Venerable became a symbol of killing and military exploits, which meant that the more people killed, the greater the merit, that is, to encourage killing on the battlefield. ”

Aki Hakuno put down his long sword: "The sword with the seal of the Thousand Swords Venerable God was once highly regarded in the Oriental army. These knives should be trophies from the Anti-Japanese War. ”

"Wait for me!" I reflexively ran to the knife stall.

Ever since I got to the knife stall, I've been wondering if that guy from Saburo Itako will take a knife from the ghost market. Now it seems that this is really possible.

Banjin Saburo said at a press conference that his ancestor had pushed pai gow with the last emperor. That little devil's identity should not be low. If his head had been chopped off at the time, his saber would probably have been collected. Could it be that the purpose of Saburo Banjin entering the Ghost Triangle is for that knife?

I ran to the front of the stall and squatted down, and said to the other party, "Friend, I want to ask you about something." ”

The other party said indifferently: "If you don't buy anything, don't disturb my business." ”

I said, "How about buying a message?" ”

"Say!" The other party simply said one word.

I quickly said, "A few days ago, did an Oriental man buy a knife from you?" ”

Before I finished speaking, the horse chopping knife beside the other party suddenly burst into a long sound. The man's eyes were cold and he said, "I never do business with devils!" ”

"Sorry to interrupt!" I didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so violent, so I had to stand up first.

"Wait!" The other party said coldly: "You send me all the knives you bought just now, I don't do business with devils, and I won't allow anyone to sell my knives to devils." Don't say 'no' to me, or I'll put your head on the ground and sell it together." ”

"Okay! Come with me to the tent and get it! I turned and walked back, and the man reached out and rolled up the stall, and followed me into the tent without leaving an inch.

I put the knife on the table: "Everything is here." The rope on the handle of the knife, I will not wrap it, you can deduct the loss. ”

"You're not here to help the Orientals......" The man's gaze softened a lot: "The little devil values the knife more than his life, and he won't allow anyone to touch the things on the knife." What exactly do you want these knives for? ”

"I'm not interested in these knives." I didn't hide it, and I roughly told the story of Itako Saburo being killed.

When the man heard us playing Banjin Saburo, he slapped his thigh with joy: "Not bad, not bad!" That's how he should have been! If you need help, just ask! ”

I said, "I want to know, what did Saburo Banjin buy after entering the Ghost Triangle?" ”

The man shook his head and said, "I've been setting up a stall in the Ghost Triangle for more than a day, and I've almost always been there, and I've never seen a little devil come in." And ......"

The man paused for a moment and said, "As far as I know, the head of the Ghost Triangle is very disgusted with little devils and never accepts Orientals. ”

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Who is the family behind the ghost triangle?" ”

"I don't know." The man shook his head: "We just speculate that the power of the Ghost Triangle is not small, after all, the Ghost Triangle has been operating here for decades, and there has never been any problems......"

"What did you say?" I interrupted, "You mean, there's only one ghost triangle in the world?" ”

The man was surprised, "How many else?" ”

The man laughed and said, "It seems that you have also been deceived by the rumors outside." What the hell triangle is erratic and comes and goes freely, it's all fake. The Ghost Triangle is not a mythical world, can it still fly everywhere? ”

I frowned: "What's the matter with the invitation from the Ghost Triangle?" ”

I reached out and handed the invitation over. The man took it in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but laugh again: "Brother, you got the wrong invitation, right?" ”

"This is an invitation to the collector, and the location is not underground...... Oh, that's not right! The man grabbed his head and said, "How can the collector's invitation draw the path of the art?" Ghost Triangle drew the invitation incorrectly? ”

Tan Yue and I looked at each other before asking, "What's the matter?" ”

The man said: "There are actually two places in the Ghost Triangle, one is for the exchange of secular collectors, most of the sales are antiques, and occasionally there are some feng shui instruments. Another place is here, all the people who come here are people in the martial arts, and the worst is also a martial arts master. It's all about the arts, like the living corpses behind you. ”

The man pointed to the triangle on the invitation card and said, "The invitation card for collectors has a regular triangle drawn on it, representing the yang world; The inverted triangle of the Dao represents the underworld. How did you get in? ”

I asked quietly, "No one from the world has ever been here before?" ”

"Yes!" The man pointed to a tent in the distance: "It's called the Black Tent, and there are shoulder guests living in it, who can help people deal with things in the Dao." Occasionally, people from the world would come to them, but few people traded here. ”

After I listened, I suddenly looked back at Qiu Baiye: "How did you get in?" ”

Qiu Aoshuang's face was not very good: "Dad likes to collect, I wanted to take him out for a walk, so I took an invitation from a customer." ”

Qiu Aoshuang handed over the invitation, and after I took a look, I handed it to the stall owner. After reading it, the other party sighed and said, "It's weird!" This is obviously a secular invitation, why is the map all inverted triangles? Have you ever received an invitation before? As far as I know, secular invitations are usually sent to a fixed group of referrers, who then forward them. ”

I was about to say more when I heard someone shouting outside, "Is there anyone in the house?" ”
