The book continued, and then looked at Chu Xunyu's side, with Shang Qian and the two of them were walking deeper and deeper on the main path, and they didn't dare to raise torches, the mountains and dense forests on both sides were black and oppressive, and the island was so quiet that they didn't even call a cricket, and raised their heads, Chu Xunyu found that the sky here was a little wrong, the stars were very messy, and he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest at all, and according to common sense, after walking for so long, he should have seen the sunrise in the east to dawn a long time ago, but the sky was as dark as ink, and there was no meaning of dawn at all, and the aura on this island seemed to be very lazy, and it was extremely slow to recover itself, the last time Chu Xunyu saw this kind of starlessnessIs it difficult to distinguish the situation of the years or in the land of the two poles, did he come back unintentionally? There is also an entrance to the land of the two poles on this boundless sea?

It stands to reason that the sea is vast, and it is normal to have an undiscovered entrance to the polar land, but the answer is obviously not, because I have been in the polar land for many years, and I have been to most places, and I have never heard of the existence of such islands, let alone heard of the master. The most significant feature of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info, especially the two poles, is that it is the remnant of the creation of the world, a dead end, does not belong to the category of the Three Realms, everywhere seems to be disorganized, tyrannical and disorderly, as if all the excess scraps were piled up there when the Hongjun Dao people created the world, but there is no such feeling now, on the contrary, the path under the feet is artificially carved.

As they were walking, suddenly the two of them saw a dried corpse hanging from a tree in the dense forest, not far from the main path, Chu Xunyu looked left and right and saw that there was no one around, so he gritted his teeth, ripped off a branch again, lit a torch, and took Shang Qian down to the grass together, and walked over to take a look, a little stunned, but I didn't expect that this was not a corpse, but a horizontal and vertical eight. There is a not very big swamp near here, and under the hanging corpses, there are still six, some are lying on the ground, and some are leaning on the edge of the swamp, Chu Xunyu handed the torch to Shang Qian, and he rolled up his cuffs to perform an autopsy, Shang Qian hurriedly stopped it, worried that it was poisonous.

Chu Xunyu signaled that it didn't matter, all of these corpses dried up and died, as if they were sucked dry by something, it was different from poisoning, the poisoned corpse must have black, purple and other colors on the body, that is the place where the poison occurred, the appearance of blood congestion, and these people don't have it at the moment. So Chu Xunyu squatted down and examined it carefully, and made a new discovery, he found that these corpses were not ordinary people, because they had rotten armor on their bodies, and they were old, judging from the texture and appearance, it was not the style of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that the fragments of these armors were tapped with his fingers, and according to the sound, it could be determined that the casting process was extremely sophisticated, and it was not an ordinary soldier. Shang Qian found that there were scattered knives on the ground, picked them up and asked curiously: "Brother, why is this blade so thin and long, but the handle is also very long, which is even more strange than your cruel sword." After speaking, he handed it to Chu Xunyu to take a look.

Chu Xunyu took it and saw that there was a short knife on the waist of the corpse, picked it up and compared it, tried the toughness and weight of the two knives with his hands, and suddenly realized in his heart, his expression was a little stunned, and told Shang Qian, this is actually a Tang knife, that is, a knife of the Tang Dynasty, there are several kinds of Tang knives, the one that Shang Qian handed over just now should be called Mo knife, which is a kind of cavalry horse chopping knife that kills the enemy, but it is different from the horse chopping knife of other dynasties, the handle is shorter, about half the length of the blade, so that the soldier can hold it with both hands, and it will not be too long to look stupid and difficult to wield。 Another short knife has a very good history, the handle has a ring, and the handle is carved with a dragon and phoenix royal pattern, which is a kind of waist knife called "Yi Knife" in the Tang knife, but as the name suggests, this kind of knife is rarely used in actual combat, on the contrary, it is worn by the general royal forest army in the palace Da Nei, and is good at accessories.

The reason why the Tang knife can be recognized is because the Tang knife is very different from the weapons of other dynasties, that is, the blade is thin and long, generally speaking, the sword is like this, the knife should be wide and heavy, but the casting process of the Tang knife is very peculiar, it has long been lost, the Tang Dynasty at that time for many considerations, the Tang Dynasty court cast ordnance when the time was improved, all the Tang knives abandoned the usual stupid impression of the knife, on the contrary, pay attention to the armor and tenacity and dexterity during the fight. Chu Xunyu held both ends of the knife body with his hands, and it was obvious that after so many years, the knife body was bent for Chu Xunyu, and as soon as he let go, it bounced back, which shows that its toughness is first-class, and Chu Xunyu remembered that according to the classics, the "soil casting" used by the Tang knife Smelting, firing in the soil, the details are unknown, made by the Tang Dynasty Ministry of Industry unified in the depths of the mountains on a large scale, extremely secretive, the cast knives are slender but extremely good at armor breaking, the army of the Tang Dynasty once looked down, can not do without this casting process, and the enemy fights, basically you can do a knife to break the armor, the second knife to kill. Of course, the national strength required to cast this Tang knife is not trivial, a knife is equivalent to a court official half a month of Yulu, so to speak, you are an official in the imperial court, a month to get the Yulu ordinary people can be fed and clothed, but can only be exchanged for two Tang knives, which shows that the national strength in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty is unprecedented. Later, the casting of the Tang sword gradually withered and had a lot to do with the large-scale weakening of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, and the imperial court could not afford this expensive armament at all, and gradually disappeared.

Chu Xunyu saw that the handle of the Mo knife was broken, so he used the wooden spear in his hand to renew it, tied it tightly with strips of cloth, swept away all the long and short knives that could still be used on their bodies, and put them on Shang Qian and himself, to be honest, Chu Xunyu has been a sword for many years, and he is not sure if he has a sword in his hand, and now he has this kind of hard guy in his hand, and he has a lot of confidence, this Laoshizi Island is clearly going to fight, but it is a matter of time sooner or later, with the Tang knife in his hand, he can be regarded as a shot, and he will see if there is a chance to secretly hold a strange person who has just seen it, and try the knife with them first, Chu Xunyu's eyes are full of murderous intent surging, after all, he is half a doctor and half a demon in his bones, in case Sun Mengxuan and Mu Yuan have a bad pool, they will give up their lives, and they will also cut these bastards into pieces, and finally commit suicide by the sea, and they will not be worthy of everyone to accompany them all the way. Especially Sun Mengxuan, he has already folded a Xiaoxiao, God will not give up, and there is a confidante, if everything is okay, it will be fine, if there is a half "no" word, just lift the table and slash with a knife, and don't say anything on the side.

Seeing Chu Xunyu squatting on the ground and busy packing up the knives, Shang Qian also inserted a torch and squatted down to help, and asked Chu Xunyu: "I said brother, according to what you said, why did these Tang Dynasty Imperial Forest Army appear here?"

It's not that Chu Xunyu hasn't thought about this question, but there is no specific answer, so he can only speculate. He told Shang Qian that the Tang Dynasty was once unprecedentedly powerful, so he was not satisfied with the boundaries of the land and began to move towards the sea on a large scale. Originally, all dynasties and dynasties had shipbuilding to go to sea, but they were all but Erer, only in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army swept the land, shocked the world, and then began to build ships, the first chapter of the real navigation in the history of Shenzhou was opened from the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty began to cast the ocean ship that rode the wind and waves with unprecedented national strength, and began to send fleets to travel around the seas in all directions, the Tang kings of all dynasties were like this, just the official history of the classics clearly recorded in the navigation travel there are no less than 100 times, the route is far, The breadth of the capital is unprecedented, and there are many strange things that have happened in it, not to mention anything else, Chu Xunyu speculated that the most likely of them is that it has been recorded in Liu Xun's "Difference in the Records of the Mountains".

Liu Sui was the Sima of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and he had a very detailed record of the voyages in this direction sent by the imperial court, and compiled a book of "Lingbiaolu Different" for strange things and published it in the world, in which a very similar strange thing was recorded. It is said that the southeast fleet sent during the Zhenguan period at that time visited various small overseas countries along the way, showing the strength of the Tang Dynasty, such as the Lion Country, the Black Thorn Country, etc., among which on a deep-sea island in Nanyang, the fleet met a strange barbarian called "Sea People".

"Sea Man...... Who is it?" Shang Qian was puzzled.

Chu Xunyu shook his head, in fact, he didn't know it himself, the book recorded that this kind of seaman really frightened the crew at that time, this kind of seaman is tall and broad, his face is connected, his body is stabbed, covered with copper armor, he has a good voice, he has a violent personality, and he can't understand Chinese. On the beach, there was a conflict with the visiting fleet at that time, thinking that the Tang Dynasty army was indispensable, how could you endure what border island country barbarians provoked trouble? If you want to fight, you will fight, so with a wave of your hand, thousands of troops armed with armor-piercing and slashing horses and knives directly got off the boat and rushed to the beach, never expected that those seamen were majestic, carrying bronze armor, and had great brute force, and never thought that the Tang knife would go into battle to break the armor and kill the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables, and the two sides could also be regarded as chess opponents, and they would kill the corpses all over the beach before they stopped the truce. The Tang fleet was far away in the deep sea, and it could not be conquered for a while, so it had to return to the sea. But along the way, I heard the legend of the old fishermen, saying that there is indeed such a demon island overseas, fluctuating, there is a monster barbarian on the island, playing music and cannibalism, extremely ferocious, it is said that this demon island has the elixir of immortality, thousands of jewels, a country of its own, and there are rumors that this island holds a big secret in the depths of the ocean.

At that time, the fleet did not conquer this island, so they led the troops back to Liangguang to replenish, asked the imperial court to reinforce, and when the army was strong, they killed it again, but the miraculous thing is that the island was gone, which is really a strange thing, so they searched nearby for most of the year and found nothing, so they had to return in a huff. The following generations of kings have sent fleets to search for nothing, Liu Sui as the Sima at that time, the fleet is from Liangguang, the supply of grain and grass is handled by him, so he knows a lot, so he will all record it in a unified case, sort out several generations of information, and finally write a book and publish "Lingbiaolu Difference".

Chu Xunyu speculated that this strange thing should be said about this island, these people dressed as the Imperial Forest Army should be sent by a certain Tang King to find this island, and they all said that this demon island in the depths of the ocean is erratic, didn't it bump into his own group? What kind of bad luck is this, those strange black shadow big men are the "sea people" mentioned in the book? Chu Xunyu has seen a lot of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the rivers and lakes in his life, but he really hasn't seen any "sea people", and I'm afraid I'm going to open my eyes today.

Chu Xunyu packed up all the knives, tried the Tang knife in his hand, it was a little light, and everything else was fine, and he was about to take Shang Qian back, when he was suddenly stunned, staring at Shang Qian motionlessly, his eyes were murderous, Shang Qian was a little hairy, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Xunyu snorted coldly and said, "I knew that there must be something strange in the place where these corpses gathered, they were all fully armed and skilled, how could they be tragically killed?"

said that it was too late, Chu Xunyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he directly swung his knife and slashed at Shang Qian......
