The history of the Loose Sword can be traced back to the Warring States period.

A famous killer hid the earliest pine sword in the intestines of a fish and killed the king of Wu.

This is the so-called "Records of History" "dedicated to the assassination of the king", and the pine sword is also named "fish intestine sword".

Later, the dynasty changed, and the pine sword gradually widened, and to the Ming Dynasty, it was only a little narrower than the ordinary sword.

The materials used are all of the highest quality, and the forging process is inherited from the ancestors, combining rigidity and softness, and has become a famous sword type with the same name as the swords such as "Tai'a" and "Longquan".

When I read history without sleep, I read the origin of the pine sword, learned swordsmanship for a long time, and even had some skill in appreciating swords.

But seeing the sword out of its sheath, it looked delicate and elegant in the moonlight. The sword body is long and narrow, look carefully, the lines are finely carved, and the pattern edge hides a row of fine teeth, if it is not for the painstaking efforts of skilled craftsmen, it is difficult to do so.

It's really a rare good sword!

Sleepless at night: "Brother Zhou, this sword is precious. I have no merit and no benefit, and I must not ask for it. ”

Zhou Xian shouted: "As the saying goes, swords give heroes!" You are a heroic female, this pine-patterned sword is the most suitable for you, so don't excuse yourself! ”

This sword was originally begged by him from a nobleman in the Fusi of Jinyi Wei Town, Nanjing, and was going to give it to his daughter.

But a few days ago, I received a letter from home and learned that my daughter didn't say hello, and secretly went to Wugong Mountain to play with the maid in the house, and didn't even celebrate her sixteenth birthday with her family.

He was annoyed for a long time. Today, I had to sleep all night, thinking that he was my daughter, and I happened to give him the sword, so that I would see my daughter in the next day, and I deliberately said this, and I was angry with my daughter.

Sleepless at night, seeing that he was resolute, it was difficult to refuse. What's more, he really needs a sword to smooth out the twists and turns along the way.

He took the sword with both hands and said sincerely: "Thank you Brother Zhou for the sword!" ”

Be careful, return the sword to the sheath.

Before he could say anything, Zhou Xian took out a booklet from his arms, which was the cultivation method of the eight swords of "Traveling Night Book".

"You can take this sword technique too, don't push or refuse!"

The swords were all taken, and I had no choice but to accept the swordsmanship again when I couldn't sleep at night.

It is expected that Zhou Baihu will give him a lot, but if he doesn't give it back, he will not know the courtesy.

But he has nothing else to give?

Don't you give him a few pieces of silver?

Suddenly, he had a plan, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, don't be rude." It just so happens that you said earlier that my internal strength is good, and I am now giving you a copy of my internal strength, so you can keep it for the time being, don't dissolve it, go back and carefully study the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, feel this internal force, and you may be able to discover many benefits and gain something. ”

Zhou Xian's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Then I'll be disrespectful!" ”

Dafang Fang stretched out his hand, revealing his pulse.

Sleepless and not procrastinating, two fingers pinched Zhou Xian's pulse, and injected the purest and most refined internal force of the Heart Sutra into his meridians.

The three lieutenants next to him were all weird. secretly said in his heart: Zhou Baihu only met this little lady tonight, how could he trust her so much and let her take the pulse?

It must be known that for people in the rivers and lakes, the pulse gate is like a life gate, and it cannot be easily held by others. If you take it, you will most likely be subject to others.

Zhou Xian is also a good hand in the rivers and lakes, and he understands this truth, but he does not shy away from it, which shows that he is very relieved of this newly made "girl".

Sleepless at night took the gong and said: "Brother Zhou, this internal force, you can temporarily store it, the lower can be stored in the Yongquan Cave, and the upper can be stored in the Qihai Cave." When you need to feel it, run it. If you don't need it one day, you can either release it and overflow, or use your own internal force to refine it to assimilation. ”

Zhou Xian ran the internal force, pressed it on the spring point on the soles of his feet, and after feeling it, he opened his mouth and praised: "What a pure and soft internal force!" ”

Grinning and glad that the trust you have paid has not been in vain.

Allowing the alien internal force to enter the body is a dangerous move, once the other party harms people's hearts and infuses internal force, it can cause endless harm.

Some people's internal forces even contain toxins, which can affect people's luck at least and destroy the meridians and cause death.

With so many taboos, Zhou Xian also agreed to the injection of sleepless internal force, which can be regarded as gambling with trust.

And the sleepless night did not disappoint him. His internal force, to Zhou Xian, is a different kind of internal force, but it is completely harmless, soft and soft, and almost does not cause any rejection, which is to attract Zhou Xian's praise.

The two of you come and go, give each other gifts, and in the blink of an eye, it has reached the fifth watch.

Zhou Xian straightened his clothes and walked out with the three captains, without looking back: "The old man still has official business, so he will leave first." Mountains and rivers meet, and we will see you again in the future. ”

Sleepless at night, he bowed his body and said goodbye to him, praising precious words.

He secretly said in his heart: "Brother Zhou, the front foot is commensurate with my brother and sister, and the back foot is so sprinkled away, the precious pine sword, say to send it, and the swordsmanship is also not selfish, but there is a bit of Wei and Jin style, which is very different from the current world." ”

There is such a person as Zhou Baihu in the Jinyi Guard, which is very rare.

As soon as Zhou Baihu left, in the small Zhemei Inn building, it was like blowing up a pot, and countless chaotic footsteps sounded, as if a hundred ghosts were walking at night.

It is like a fisherman collecting a net and taking away a small fish and shrimp.

Listening to the rough scolding, the fierce crying, as well as the sound of cane strikes, punches and kicks, I couldn't sleep at night.

"Tonight, Jin Yiwei acted like this, called catching Yue Buying, but I don't know how many unrelated people were arrested. The violent machine of the Ming Dynasty is indeed worthy of its name. ”

Luo Xiangzhu was also terrified when he heard it, and knew that this should be Zhou Baihu and other Jinyi captains performing official duties. For a while, it is difficult to relate the image before and after the two.

When the movement in the small stack gradually died down and fell into a deathly silence, the two of them let out a long breath.

Sleepless at night, he mopped the water on the ground and beckoned Luo Xiangzhu to lie down again.

Luo Xiangzhu lay on the bed and asked, "Amian, the noise made by these brocade guards in the inn is more noisy than the Chinese New Year, and more ferocious than killing pigs in the house." but their rulers have been very kind to you.

Could it be that he only likes you when you are a woman? ”

Sleepless smiled awkwardly and said, "This, how do you say this?" This week 100 households, in terms of age, when my father is more than enough, presumably, he won't have such a mind, right? ”

Luo Xiangzhu just asked briefly, didn't say anything, and fell asleep again.

I couldn't sleep all night, and I said in my heart: "Miss, what a dream." ”

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather turned cold, the heating of the earth was insufficient, and the cold invaded people in the middle of the night.

Sleepless at night, gently compacted the quilt for her, beware of her cold. The night was long, and after that, he pressed the quilt a few times, Luo Xiangzhu fell asleep, and he still kicked the quilt in his dream.

Sleepless at night, it is dreamless and sleepless, add some lamp oil to the lamp, take advantage of the weak light, look at the pine sword, the more you look at it, the more you like it, the more you compare it, the more you can't put it down.

In the past, Luo Fanxi also gave him some good swords, but most of them were disliked by him, long and heavy, not suitable for him, and after dancing a few times, he was thrown aside to eat ashes.

This time he came out to flee for his life, but he didn't want to carry those swords, preferring to make bamboo swords from anywhere.

This pine-patterned sword is only three feet, and its weight is estimated to be only one catty, and it dances like an arm and finger, without any pressure, and is no longer a burden.

After reading the eight swords of "Traveling Night Book", I realized that this set of swordsmanship given to him by Zhou Xian was not ordinary. If you can practice it one day, you should not lose the first six swords of your "Wangyue".

It wasn't until the second day that the rooster crowed and the sun dawned, and he understood the internal force logic and sword moves of the two moves of "Fine Grass Breeze Shore" and "Dangerous Lonely Night Boat".

In the morning, the inn was deserted, and it was no longer lively as yesterday.

Several guests got up early and gathered in the corridor with palpitations to talk about Jinyiwei's arrest.

The door to the guest room was open in a few places, and there were no signs of a fight inside, and the tenant was nowhere to be found.

There are also some guests who can't wait to check out and leave, with a little bruise and red swelling on their faces, and they don't know who they touched by mistake.

Under Jin Yiwei's generosity, last night was a rainy and stormy night.

Those winds and rains are blowing on and down people's hearts.

Seeing the appearance of the inn, the two had to switch to other stalls, hurriedly eat some breakfast, pack a few dry foods, and go to the tailor shop to buy a few men's clothes.

If you don't sleep at night, you go to the stable to lead the horses, settle the forage and watch the horses.

After paying nearly 100 wen for forage, I couldn't sleep at night, and the silver was not much.

If you go out and spend money everywhere, and if you make money like these two days, I am afraid that in a few days, you will have to go to a rich man who is not benevolent, and rob him of his wealth to help his own poverty.

took Luo Xiangzhu downstairs, helped her to get on the horse carefully, and was about to lead the horse out of the backyard, the inn junior ran over in a hurry, waved his hand and said: "Two guest officers, and stay for the time being!" ”

Seeing that he was indeed calling himself, he temporarily tied the horse, hugged his fists at him and said: "Little brother, I have already settled all the expenses such as house money, horse fodder money, and meal money, but I don't know what else is going on?" ”

Xiao Er pulled a towel to wipe his sweat and said: "The female guest officer misunderstood, you naturally settled the money." I stopped you because there was a guest who asked me to pass this on to you. ”

"Oh?"

Sleepless looked at Xiao Er suspiciously, and took a palm-sized sandalwood box from his hand.

The box was engraved with strange patterns, strange and ancient, like a spell of disgust.

When I opened the box, I didn't see what was inside, and there was a sharp pain in the thumb closest to the box.

Ye Wumiao's brows furrowed, and he was about to shake his hand, but he heard Xiao Er say: "No, the guest officer, that person ordered, saying that although this centipede bites people, it is not poisonous." Give him some blood to eat, and he will confess the Lord, and it will be of great benefit to you in the future. ”

Sleepless at night, he forcibly suppressed the pain, looked into the box, and sure enough, a black-red centipede was struggling to bite a small bite of flesh from his thumb, chew and eat.

After eating, climb on top of his arm and walk back and forth a few times, smelling him.

"...... this?" As he was about to speak, the centipede seemed to have finished patrolling, and crawled back into the box slowly, shook its two slender tentacles, and fell asleep comfortably.

I ran the internal force all over the night without sleep, and there were no traces of poisoning, no discomfort, but also no benefit.

He said angrily: "What good is it for me to be bitten by it, lose a piece of flesh, and shed some blood?" ”

Xiao Er scratched his head, not knowing how to explain.

He is just a mouthpiece, taking people's money and doing things for others, how do you know the inside story?

In a difficult place, I saw a beautiful woman in dark green clothes, combing two pigtails, and walking with Tingting.

She said a blessing to Luo Xiangzhu who was riding on the horse, and nodded towards Sleepless Night, and said: "Woman, this centipede is a gift from me to you, because I thank you for taking action last night and teaching those court eagle dogs a lesson." ”

Last night, when I was sleepless and fighting swords in Zhou Baihu, I don't know how many people were eavesdropping in the dark, so it was not strange that this woman knew about it.

Sleepless at night smiled strangely: "I won't say anything if you thank me, why do you still let centipedes bite me?" Isn't this revenge? ”

The woman in green waved her hand and said, "Woman, listen to me." I am a native of Meishan, and Meishan is known for the art of centipede aversion to victory, which is used to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters. Specifically, it is carved on the bridge to prevent the evil dragon from flooding and to protect the people. Raising a centipede can help the owner get out safely when he encounters a dragon captivity. ”

She pointed to the door and said, "If the woman doesn't believe it, you can step out of the old street of Dongshi to see, there are several wind and rain bridges near here, all of which are engraved with centipede patterns, which are used to devour dragons and avoid water." ”
