Chapter 56: The Seven-Star Sword
Zhou Ming was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was impossible, this seven-star treasure knife, from the surface, I knew that it was a treasure, and it was an extraordinary treasure, how could it not be used? Could it be that he is a silver-like wax spear head, which is useless, but in fact there is nothing in the scabbard?
After having this doubt in his heart, Zhou Zhou Ming turned around and carefully looked at the seven-star knife in front of him, an indescribable aura immediately emanated from this knife, making Zhou Ming like it more and more.
At this time, Zhou Ming finally understood that the reason why Han Pingzhi said that this knife could not be used was completely false and nonsense, his real purpose was actually very simple, that is, he wanted to use this as an excuse to refuse to give this knife to himself.
After seeing through Han Pingzhi's trick, Zhou Zhou Ming pretended to be surprised, and kept shaking his head and sighing: "It's a pity, such a peerless treasure knife can't be used, it's really the biggest regret in the world." ”
After a burst of emotion, Zhou Ming looked at Han Pingzhi with a serious face, and pretended to ask, "Lord Han, dare to ask this seven-star treasure knife, what is the problem?" Why can't such a valuable thing be used? ”
Han Pingzhi was relieved to see that Zhou Zhou Ming had fallen into his trap, thinking that if it weren't for his own wit, this seven-star treasure knife would definitely not be able to be saved today.
After a burst of joy in his heart, Han Pingzhi hurriedly replied: "It's strange to say, since I took up the post of chief manager, I found this seven-star treasure knife, and at first sight, I knew that he was a treasure, I liked it very much, and even wanted to use it as my personal weapon."
However, it backfired, and I tried to pull the knife out of the sheath many times, but all of them ended in failure, and in the end, I even urged my vitality and tried all my strength, but in the end I could not pull the knife out of the sheath.
Thinking that this knife may be just an ornament, it has no effect on actual combat, and the sword body and scabbard should be connected together, otherwise it will not be unsheathed. ”
"Oh? Is there such a strange thing in the world? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhou Ming was even more curious about this treasure knife, and he couldn't help but reach out his hand, pick up the treasure knife from the knife holder, and play with it in his hand.
The body of this Seven Star Treasure Sword and the scabbard are held in the hand at the same time, it feels very heavy, and the texture is very good to the touch, and it feels like the scabbard is made of precious materials.
"Zhou Zhutou, how can you ......" Seeing that Zhou Ming picked up the treasure knife, Han Pingzhi was reluctant in his heart, he wanted to stop it, but he felt that it was inappropriate, and let Zhou Zhou Ming fiddle with the Seven Star Treasure Knife like this, and his heart was distressed, and he was mixed for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
"What a good knife!" After Zhou Ming took a look at it, he praised it sincerely, and made up his mind that even if this knife really couldn't be pulled out of its sheath, he would get this knife in his hand.
"A good knife is not fake, it has no practical use, and it is no different from a piece of scrap metal." Han Pingzhi pretended not to care and said, "It's not that the official is stingy, and he is reluctant to give this treasure knife to Zhou Zhutou, but this seven-star treasure knife can't be taken on the table, if it is given to Zhou Zhutou, my face will be gloomy." ”
"Lord Han, but I only want this knife, what should I do?" Zhou Ming had a malicious smile on his face.
Han Ping understood when he saw it, this kid still didn't give up, so he had to let me show his killer move: "Zhou Zhutou, don't be rash, look at it, in my arsenal, there are all kinds of weapons, you choose the same useful ones, like this scrap iron put it back."
To tell you the truth, Zhou Zhutou, it's not that I'm stingy, if you can pull this seven-star knife out of its sheath, I won't say a word, and I'll give you this knife right away......"
Before Han Pingzhi finished speaking, he only heard a crisp sound, and Zhou Ming took the Seven Star Treasure Knife out of its scabbard without much effort, held it in his hand, and wielded it freely.
Zhou Zhou Ming also had a doubt in his heart, the moment he pulled out the Seven Star Treasure Sword just now, he didn't urge his vitality, and he didn't even use his strength.
At that time, he just wanted to try to see if this knife was really like Han Pingzhi said, he couldn't pull it out at all, what he didn't expect was that he just pulled it lightly, and the treasure knife was easily unsheathed.
Han Pingzhi was stupid on the spot, thinking to himself what the situation was? I tried all kinds of methods before, trying to pull this knife out of the sheath, but in vain, this kid just pulled it lightly, this knife actually came out of the sheath, could it be that this kid surnamed Zhou has a higher martial arts cultivation than me?
Impossible, judging from the way he walked just now, as well as the change in his breath, although his martial arts cultivation is not low, there is still a certain gap between him and me, obviously he did not rely on hard power to pull this knife out of the sheath, so in addition, what was the reason for him to pull this treasure knife out of the sheath.
After analyzing various possibilities in his heart, Han Pingzhi immediately thought of a possibility, that is, this seven-star knife can choose its own master, no matter whose hands it falls into, as long as that person is not the master he recognizes, no matter how much brute force you use, it is impossible to pull this knife out of its sheath.
Conversely, if he believes that you are his master, he can easily pull him out of the scabbard, regardless of whether you have martial arts cultivation or not.
At the moment when Zhou Zhou Ming pulled out the seven-star treasure knife just now, Han Ping's heart was distressed to death, and he almost snatched the seven-star knife, but at this time he was relieved, because if things were really as he thought, if this knife could choose the owner, he would not be recognized by him, even if he forcibly snatched this knife, it would be useless, it could only be used as an ornament.
In this way, this treasure knife can be used to the fullest, and it can also win the hearts of Zhou Ming's people, the first time they met, they gave him such a precious treasure, this favor, Zhou Ming can't owe it if he doesn't want to.
A bright and courageous descendant like Zhou Zhou Ming, as long as he has a good relationship with him, if he encounters trouble in the officialdom in the future, as long as he says a word, he will definitely stick a knife in both sides and help him with all his might.
It is more useful to make friends with such a capable and upright gentleman than to make friends with a hundred villains, Han Pingzhi has been an official for many years, and he really understands this truth too well.
A hundred villains have a good relationship with you, can only be icing on the cake, you are like a city, when the traffic in front of the house, these villains all take you as an ancestor to offer, once your door is full of birds, ghosts do not come to the door, they are all gone, and even will say bad things about you behind your back, fall into the well, and put you to death.
And gentlemen are different, when you are proud of your official fortune, these gentleman friends who have a good relationship with you may not usually come to the door, but once you encounter danger, they are the lifesavers in the snow.
Zhou Zhou Ming held the seven-star sword in his hand, and he couldn't put it down, and he didn't have time to take into account Han Pingzhi's feelings, so he immediately waved it in the arsenal.
When this seven-star knife was still in the scabbard, it was not light in the hand, but at this time, as soon as the knife was out of the sheath, it was immediately extremely light, and it was wielded in the hand effortlessly, and it was lighter than a sword.
Zhou Ming flew up and down in the arsenal, and a seven-star knife was tricked by him, and he forgot where he was for a while.
During the entire process of wielding the Seven Star Knife, Zhou Zhou Ming did not urge the vitality, and when Zhou Zhou Ming planned to stop swinging and use the last move, he secretly used a trace of vitality, and the result was amazingly destructive.
Zhou Ming slashed towards the corner of the arsenal, and a huge aura burst out from the blade, directly destroying all kinds of weapons in the corner of the arsenal.
Those weapons were all made of fine iron, and when they were hit by the murderous aura of the Seven Star Sword, they were all turned into broken iron.
"Good knives!" Zhou Ming praised from the bottom of his heart, he had never seen such a powerful sword, his martial arts cultivation was not ranked in the entire Great Chu, there was still a lot of room for improvement, in the process of cultivation, it was inevitable to encounter danger, with this seven-star treasure knife in hand, it can be said that it was like a tiger with wings, no matter how much danger he encountered in the future, as long as this seven-star treasure knife was in hand, he would have the ability to turn danger into a disaster.
Han Pingzhi was also shocked when he saw this situation on the side, thinking that this knife and Zhou Ming were a match made in heaven, and it seemed that he was destined to get this treasure knife.
"Good means, Zhou Zhutou is young, and his skills are so good, he has a lot to do in the future."
Zhou Ming raised the knife in his hand, and when he saw the damaged weapon in the corner of the wall, he immediately became embarrassed, he walked in front of Han Pingzhi and saluted with both hands: "Lord Han, I got carried away for a while, and damaged the weapons in the arsenal, and I ask your lord to forgive me." ”
"It doesn't matter, in the corner, there are scrap iron that are going to be eliminated." Han Pingzhi said lightly, "Zhou Zhutou, it seems that this seven-star knife has a lot to do with you, since you like this knife so much, then the official will give it to you."
I hope that after you have this knife, you will work harder and make greater contributions when you are on errands for the imperial court. ”
Zhou Ming couldn't believe his ears, Han Pingzhi just looked at this seven-star treasure knife as his life, why was he willing to give it to himself at this time?
Zhou Zhou Ming rolled his eyes, and immediately thought of a possibility, thinking that maybe he felt that he couldn't use this knife, so it was better to be a favor and give it to himself, which could not only win him over, but also show that he was very generous, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone.
"Thank you, sir." Zhou Ming immediately thanked him.
"The treasure knife is given to the hero, and the best use of it is used, so why should Zhou Zhutou thank this official?" Han Pingzhi stroked his beard with a smug expression.
Zhou Zhou Ming's trip to the General Affairs Office can be said to have gained a lot, not only in the plan to arrest the spies, but also in the plan to arrest the spies, but also by chance, got the Seven Star Treasure Knife, such a unique treasure, it is really an unexpected joy.
After the sword was selected, Zhou Ming and Han Pingzhi came to the main hall of the Yamen of the General Affairs Office, waiting for the return of the messenger.
At this time, it was already past the hour, and it was pitch black outside, and the stars and moon in the sky were all covered by dark clouds, which made the entire Huijing City shrouded in a murderous atmosphere.
Although Zhou Ming has been in a good mood since he got the Seven Star Treasure Knife, he is still very anxious when he sees that the person who delivered the letter has not returned for a long time.
