Chapter 349: July 7th
Meng Yuyan fiddled with the rectangular box on the table: "This thing was just collected recently, and it was a one-armed and one-legged old man who sold it." The old man boasted that this secret weapon had once shocked the rivers and lakes and taken the lives of tens of thousands of people, and everyone heard it, and it could be described as a fierce soldier among the fierce soldiers, and even the sound of unjust souls crying could be heard in it at night. ”
The rectangular box on the table looks ordinary from the outside, and there is no special mechanism to lock it, and the lid can be opened with a simple flip, and it contains many throwing knives, and there is a mechanism behind each throwing knife, which can be launched with a throwing knife.
One of the stalks shot out when Thirteen entered the door, probably to test the power, right? Strictly speaking, it was quite fierce, and that blow was no less than that of a master of the Eightfold Realm.
"If it's so terrifying, how can it fall into the hands of an old man?" Meng Yuyan pressed the flying knife back into the box and said disdainfully, "This mechanism is very chicken, after a round of flying knives shoots out, it will become an empty box, and when you load seventy-seven throwing knives, the enemy will rush over and put their feet on your face." ”
"Hehe, what Miss Meng said is very true. Thirteen smiled and smiled, not wanting to continue the topic, but seeing that Meng Yuyan was actually interested in these things, he had to speak, "I've heard of this weapon, its real name is July 7th." ”
As soon as Meng Yuyan heard this name, he immediately became energetic: "Alas, how do you know, the old man also said that this weapon is called July 7th, which seems to be very good, but it is not domineering at all, and it should not be the name that a murderer should have." ”
Thirteen smiled and said: "It is rumored that when these seventy-seven flying knives were baked, each of them was cut with the blood of a virgin's heart, so that the woman's soul could be sealed in the knife, not only injuring the enemy's body, but also allowing the unjust spirits on the knife to entangle the enemy, destroying their spirit day and night......"
"Oh~~ It's disgusting!!" Knowing that the thing he was playing with in his hand turned out to be of this origin, Meng Yuyan twisted his fingers with disgust, directly pushed the box to the ground, and then hurriedly ran to wash his hands.
Of course, this statement is rather nonsense, not to mention that Thirteen doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but just retells the rumors on the rivers and lakes back then.
July 7 is the Begging Festival.
There is a way to pray for blessings in the Qiqiao Festival, where on the night of Qixi Festival, women hold five-colored silk threads and continuous nine-hole needles to take advantage of the moonlight to continuously thread needles and threads, and those who quickly pass through all the threads are called "Deqiao".
The most critical part of this weapon on July 7 is also the line, these 77 knives have many holes in them, connected by small wires like hair, after the knives are launched, they can be manipulated through those thin lines, and they can fly in the air at will, as if they were manipulating objects in the air.
How many holes there are in each knife and how the thin lines are manipulated, Thirteen is unknown.
In the case of one-on-one, this kind of play may be a bit exaggerated, if it is in the melee, no one will pay too much attention to the flying knives flying everywhere, thinking that it is just thrown out of someone's hand and blocked with a weapon, but who would have thought that these flying knives can be turned and killed if they are not careful.
As a result, Guan Bai, the user of the "Hundred-armed Guanyin" on July 7, has become a sought-after character among the major gangs, and the gangs with him can easily lay more ground.
It's a pity that he is too greedy, he eats and drinks spicy food in this gang today, and runs to the opposite gang tomorrow to enjoy happiness and pleasure, such a vacillating attitude is a threat to everyone, so those gangs simply join forces to deal with him, so that everyone is at the same starting line, and no one loses.
Thirteen heard that Guan Bai was finally cut off with one hand and one foot, and all his skills were completely wasted, and he was also destroyed on July 7, and seventy-seven flying knives were taken away by those who participated in the hunt at that time as a token of the alliance.
Now it seems that Guan Bai is still alive...... It was even restored on July 7......
Pity...... The thread that had been wrapped around the knife could never be brought back.
The rivers and lakes are so cruel......
Not only on July 7, but Thirteen only turned a little halfway, and saw many weapons used by famous people back then, these people were either righteous or evil, everyone had a glorious story to tell, but their final fate was very miserable.
Therefore, these weapons collected by Meng Yuyan cannot be summarized as fierce soldiers, they are simply a curse in a room!
After washing his hands, Meng Yuyan returned to the house, saw Thirteen staring at his own collection in a daze, and said, "Hero, you seem to be quite familiar with the origin of these things~"
Thirteen turned around the room with his hands behind his back for half a circle, before turning to face Meng Yuyan, a touch of pride appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Miss Meng, it's not me to brag, I know a little bit of the things in your house, their origins, functions, and how many brilliant deeds their owners have had." ”
"Wow~~ Hero, you're so powerful. Meng Yuyan opened his mouth wide and screamed, and ran over excitedly to take Thirteen's hand, "Then can you tell me about it?" There are a lot of weapons here, I have searched through the weapons spectrum in the library at home and can't find a word, so I can only think about it by myself when I am idle." ”
"Hmph, my grandfather also said that the library has collected the world's divine weapons and Qimen weapons, which is a lie at all. You have to be a person who has really traveled the rivers and lakes to know these stories from the rivers and lakes. ”
"No problem, no problem. Thirteen replied with a smile.
He didn't expect that he would brag casually, which would cause Meng Yuyan to have such a big reaction, this is obviously a cute little girl who is playful and cute, and likes to explore, where is Meng Xian so terrible as they say, obviously they don't do what they like on weekdays, they can't talk together, of course people ignore you.
Thirteen didn't expect that this eldest lady of the family would be able to coax him to tell stories, since this is the case, then the weapons in this room are enough for him to talk for two or three months!
But it doesn't take that long, presumably Chen Lingyu's side is already ready to move, Thirteen only needs to quickly establish a good relationship with Meng Yuyan in these two days, and then find a reason to take her out of Meng's house and find a secluded place to kidnap people.
In this way, the risk of kidnapping is greatly reduced, which is one of the reasons why Thirteen agreed to help.
Just as Thirteen was smug in his heart, Meng Yuyan suddenly asked, "Hero, what weapons do you usually use?"
"Ahh......h Compared to a long sword, the dagger is also less laborious to hold, and it is much easier to hide. ”
"I'll tell you, when it comes to this dagger, I used to have a friend, and his weapon was a red dagger, which was quite powerful......"
Thirteen still wanted to continue to tell the story along the dagger and continue to brush down the favorability, but the story had just begun, and Meng Yuyan happened to take out a red dagger, so that Thirteen was directly speechless, and he opened his mouth and worked hard for a long time before bursting out with a sentence:
"It'...... How to ??? in your hands"
