This broken knife is probably the thing that disappeared after Boss Li brought it, a rumored weird thing from Yundi Village.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing that what they had been looking for was close in front of them, but at this time, no one dared to move.

It was Meng Xiangping who strengthened his courage and cautiously approached the broken knife. After falling from the broken knife and sticking it to the floor, it was like a sleeping beast, slowly exuding a swirling aura, but it did not move, and it was impossible to know what would happen.

In order to be safe, the county lieutenant deliberately held his waist card in his hand, trying to use the luck of the empire to deter the ferocity of the knife first. Seeing that the broken knife did not move, he was completely relieved and put his hand on the handle of the knife.

With a slight mention, the broken knife was easily lifted, which was beyond Meng Xiangping's expectations. Looking at the entire hilt, it was already rusted, and even the rope that was tied was torn apart. However, the blade is still well preserved, and the tip of the knife can be seen along the side ridge......

Wait, the tip of the knife?

Meng Xiangping woke up suddenly, it was just a broken knife, how could there be a knife tip?

When he came back to his senses, he saw that the broken knife was still stuck in place, as if no one had touched it at all. In his hand, there is another short knife, which is very different from the broken knife.

After all, the handle of the broken knife is more than twice as long as usual, and there is still a blade of more than two feet, so I don't know what kind of huge long knife it will be if it is intact.

Meng Xiangping threw away the knife that came out of nowhere in his hand, and once again reached out and grabbed the broken knife, once again it seemed to have grabbed the hilt, but in fact it was a broken spear in its hand, and the broken knife was still in place. Meng Xiangping threw and grabbed again, and this time it became a broken sword, a broken halberd, and a blunt axe...... Every time, it seems to be firmly grasped, but when it comes to the hand, it becomes something else entirely.

"Stop!" Zhou Linchao spoke categorically, and the sergeant was keenly aware of something. With Meng Xiangping's movements, the entire ground was constantly trembling, and the entire source was the broken knife, as if the fierce god was about to awaken and kill the Quartet.

Meng Xiangping stopped, and then saw that the blades he threw on the ground had all turned into ashes at some point, and if the wind blew, the ashes swirled and rose, and finally dispersed. And the broken knife was completely stabilized, and there was no longer any movement, as if it had returned to sleep.

In a short period of time, everyone had palpitations, and they had just passed by a great crisis.

"Those blades should be the 'guardian spirits' of this broken knife." Zhou Linchao wiped the sweat on his head.

"Weapons also have guardian spirits?" Wang Hu was incredulous.

"The blades that kill extremely heavy are nourished by blood, and over time, they converge into the instinct to kill. Every weapon it defeats will be extracted by it and become a part of its own power. Even former enemies will be enslaved by them. This is the price of defeat, after all, the blade sees blood, and on the battlefield, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, only life and death. The sergeant's words were heavy.

"But such a blade is difficult to touch, how did Boss Li bring it with him?" Wang Hu was still puzzled.

"Maybe there's something else to suppress it, you see there's a rune on the hilt, but now it's running out of power." Qiu Shaohu said.

"I'm afraid this kind of blade is not forged by ordinary people," Qin Xiang said in disbelief: "Every craftsman I have come into contact with has such a skill. ”

"But why does it break?" Chu Jieyun said in a deep voice.

After Meng Xiangping took a deep breath, he eased his emotions and suddenly said loudly, "What did you see just now?" ”

His words were directed at Qiu Shaohu and Qin Xiang.

"Didn't I tell you, we met another person!" Qin Xiang was puzzled by this accusation, "Don't you believe it?" ”

"I don't believe it," Meng Xiangping said, "Everyone else is fine, but you are the only one who has a problem." After that, the knife suddenly appeared. I can fully suspect that you two colluded to deceive us all! ”

"Excuse me, what does the county lieutenant think?" Qiu Shaohu was much calmer, he knew that people who generally said this must want to take the opportunity to give orders again.

"It's natural, it's easy, we're all going to look at this knife next, and no one is allowed to leave." Meng Xiangping said as a matter of course: "Whether there is really one more person or the murderer is among us, the target is still this knife after all." All of us stared at it, just to see what else that person could do. It's almost dawn now, and the rain is light, and when we can leave, all the natural truth will be revealed. ”

He said it as he should, but as soon as he changed his words, he pointed at Qin Xiang and Qiu Shaohu and said, "But except for the two of you, you are the closest person to this knife just now, and the suspicion cannot be ruled out." Until then, the four of us are here and you are not allowed to come near! ”

His words were hard, but at this moment, another strange voice attracted all attention.

The reason why this sound is so peculiar is that it comes from everyone present in almost no particular order.

"Goo-"

"Oops, I can't do it!" Wang Hu was the first to complain, "I tossed for most of the night, I didn't sleep, I didn't have anything to eat, and before I was scared to death and killed, I was afraid that I would be starved to death first." ”

As he spoke, he took out his medicine bag again, took out the five-stone pill and threw it into his mouth.

"In the territory of Zhaoguo, Wushi San is contraband, and it is forbidden to hold it!" Meng Xiangping said coldly: "Besides, that medicine can speed up your blood, and the more you eat, the hungrier you get!" ”

"You said that you are hard, I see that you are also hungry and you don't even have the strength to catch us, it is better for me to take more of this medicine to live happily, God knows when you will die." Wang Hu felt hot all over his body, a feeling of fluttering immortals.

"If you're hungry, it's easy to do." Chu Jieyun pursed her lips and smiled, "I just looked in the back kitchen, there is still some food left, and the concubine will go and get some for you now." ”

With that, the proprietress was about to leave.

"You are not allowed to leave!" Meng Xiangping said categorically, then glanced at Qiu Shaohu and said, "You go!" ”

"Me?" Qiu Shaohu said: "It's true that I know where the kitchen is, but since you doubt me, you are not afraid that I will take the opportunity to poison me." ”

"It's simple, when the time comes, we will take it at will, you have to eat it too, and you must be the last one to take it."

It's really a means of insurance, because everyone takes it for themselves, and whoever gets what is random is random. And the person who sent it will take it last, and he can't guarantee which one he will get until then, so that if he poisons himself, he will also be poisoned, unless he directly poisons all the food and dies with everyone.

Meng Xiangping mixed up in the officialdom, and this kind of sleek method was naturally caught.

Qiu Shaohu didn't argue, turned around silently at this time, and went to the back kitchen.

The road leading to the back hall was quiet, and the sound of the rain hitting the roof was indeed quieter, and it seemed that the stinging torrential rain had stopped.

There is indeed some food left in the back kitchen, although it is all leftovers, but at this time, everyone has not eaten water and rice for a long time, which is also a good accommodation.

Qiu Shaohu pretended to be some casually, and his subordinates stopped.

Feeling that there was no one around, Qiu Shaohu was cautious and took out the Buddha bead again.

Knowing that this Buddha bead was made of the Reflecting Star Stone, Qiu Shaohu had been thinking about one thing. It is rumored that the star stone comes from the stars, which is extremely wonderful, and it can be its own space to accommodate all things.

Counting the broken knife, there are now two things in total. But since Meng Xiangping hid it, I'm afraid that's what he wants. The value of being able to make him treat it so solemnly is not only in the Buddha beads and the Reflecting Star Stone itself, but in what else is hidden in it.

Qiu Shaohu wanted to see what was in it, but there was a doorway for the storage of the space, and it was difficult for anyone other than its owner to know the specific method of opening. Qiu Shaohu could only try to deduce the corresponding laws from the flow of its vitality.

So, he took a compass from his neck, which had been hanging around his neck like a necklace, but he didn't care about it.

The compass is quaint, with a gray-green color and mottled appearance. In addition to the direction pointing, the general compass also has a time pointer, which can determine the time and make the calculation more accurate.

But the azimuth hand in front of me can be rotated flexibly, but the hour hand has been in one position, apparently damaged. I don't know the specific event, and the accuracy of the compass will be greatly reduced, but Qiu Shaohu has always carried it.

Because this compass is a relic of another person, and that's why he's so solemn.

The moment the compass appeared, the light on the Buddha beads suddenly changed, like the stars in the sky, and it seemed to become clearer from the original confusion. Correspondingly, the edge of the compass involuntarily begins to circulate in order to measure the number of easily numbered symbols that are burned, and slowly calculates.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qiu Shaohu's eyes, but he immediately made up his mind and began to deduce the changes in the current starry sky.

He has long been familiar with the number of divine machines, and various deduction methods have also been memorized by him in the past few years. Although the changes of the stars are complicated, they are not completely traceless, and many masters of magic have already sorted it out, and some people even assert that "the way of the stars can correspond to the trajectory of a person's life for each star".

The speed of the compass azimuth change faster and faster, and under the deduction, countless starlight was gathered here, gradually condensed from mist to something like ice crystals and floated, looking like a miniature version of the night sky.

Finally, with a "click", a light flashed in the Buddha's body, and something fell out.

It looks like a drawing, but Qiu Shaohu can't understand it.

He recognized every word on it, but he couldn't understand any meaning when they were connected together.

But he could guess what it was.

Looking at the group of books, I once inadvertently read the "Taibai Martial Arts" about the march and formation, which mentioned that a special code language would be used in the army, and it was deliberately made impossible for ordinary people to understand in order to keep it secret.

There is no doubt that this is something that belongs to the army of Zhaoguo.

How could Boss Li have this?

What does Meng Xiangping want it to do?
