Chapter 35: The Imperial City Zhen Guowei -35
Wu Nai looked at the things in front of him and froze, his eyes not only showed surprise, but also doubts and troubles, he seemed to have turned into an ink painting that had lost its color, standing there stupidly, not moving.
What appeared to them was a strange weapon.
Why is it a strange weapon? It's because it looks like a seven-foot sword, but with the slender shaft of a spear underneath. With such an exaggerated long blade and a long rod added, how huge does a person need to be to be qualified to cut it?
The blade of the sword reflected bursts of golden light in the candlelight of the hall, and it was even a little dazzling. But its appearance is not exquisite. In addition to the water pattern, the sword body does not have any decoration, which does not meet the basic requirements of royal utensils, royal weapons or ritual weapons, must be tattooed dragon and tiger.
Its long pole is a little scary, it is actually made of pure iron, which is not only impossible for ordinary people to pick up, even if it is called a rare strong man in the world, I am afraid that I can only reluctantly swing it. The iron rod is a little old, but there is no trace of rust on it, and there is no trace of the smell that old iron will emit, but I am afraid that someone will come to do thoughtful maintenance every day.
It is almost certain that it is not a weapon of honor, it is too simple to show the grandeur of the royal family.
But it exudes a force in its simplicity, as if as long as you hold it in your hand, you can split the mountain into two and the river into a waterfall.
The sword was full of scratches and grinding, and it was not difficult to guess that it was the result of a violent collision with countless weapons. The blade of the sword was full of chips and curly blades, and it was impossible for such a sharp soldier to be so damaged by slicing through human flesh and bones, and it would not have borne so many scars if it had not shattered countless fine armor.
The marks left on this weapon were as glorious as the scars on the face of an old warrior, as if it were proudly showing off to those who saw it, proudly telling others how many fierce battles of life and death it had endured with its master.
Bai Yu also looked at this strange weapon blankly, and he whispered to himself: "This...... What a strange weapon, the blade of which is exactly the same as my seven-foot sword, but...... There's a long iron rod down there, what's the point? What kind of weapon is this?"
"Modao ......" Wu Nai whispered, but he didn't look like he was answering Bai Yu, but just muttered a small sentence to himself.
Bai Yu was taken aback again, and hurriedly asked curiously, "Brother, what are you talking about......?" Is it the legendary Mo Knife? No wonder...... It is not only used to cut people, but also to cut people and horses, so it is used to lengthen the blade with a long pole. ”
But Wu Nai didn't talk, but still looked at the weapon stupidly.
"Brother...... Are you okay?" Bai Yu didn't know what was wrong with Wu Nai, and after screaming a few times without responding, he hurriedly reached out and shook Wu Nai's arm.
Wu Nai was shaken vigorously before he reacted. He hurriedly waved his hand at Bai Yu and said, "It's okay...... It's okay......" but the expression on his face was as if he had just woken up from a dream, his eyes kept wandering, and he lowered his head in contemplation.
Bai Yu asked cautiously, "Brother...... What happened to you? How do you feel like you're absent-minded......"
After hearing this, Wu Nai frowned nervously, but he instantly stretched his eyebrows and squeezed out a smile, and he said, "Oh, it's nothing." It's that the blade of this thing is a little dazzling, and the shiny light makes me a little dizzy, don't worry, it's not a big deal. ”
Bai Yu asked again: "My brother mentioned just now that this weapon is a Mo knife, I don't know how my brother judged it......"
After hearing this, Wu Nai smiled, but his eyes moved away for a moment, and then he quickly glanced at the long pole of the weapon.
Then Wu Nai stretched out his hand and said, "Xiaobai, pay attention, is there a row of inscriptions on the irons?"
Bai Yu looked at Wu Nai's fingers, and sure enough, he saw that there were character prints on the iron rod, if it weren't for Wu Nai's reminder, this vague inscription would be really difficult to find.
Bai Yu looked at the words and read them out: "Imperial gift...... Mighty Marquis ...... Wu ...... Wei Xuan...... Could this be the Wu family of the hereditary Mighty Marquis? Wei Xuan? Is it called Wu Weixuan? Is it the name of the previous Mighty Marquis?"
"Alas......" Wu Nai sighed and whispered, "...... He was also the last mighty marquis. ”
Bai Yu turned his head to look at Wu Nai, Wu Nai smiled faintly, and continued: "After all, it was more than fifty years ago, and we, the juniors, can only listen to the legends and deeds of the Wu clan and the Mo Dao from the mouth of the storyteller." ”
Bai Yu nodded and asked, "So, it was only after seeing these words that my brother recognized this thing as the legendary Mo Dao?"
Wu Nai paused, then continued to stare at the weapon as if thinking about something, and simply replied: "It's ......"
Bai Yu nodded in disbelief after hearing this, Bai Yu always felt that something was wrong with Wu Nai since he saw this weapon, but he couldn't say why.
But Bai Yu couldn't ask, he pondered it carefully, his brother-in-law Wu Nai usually looked like a hippie smile, and he didn't look like a person who was easily sad. And he is always full of confidence, except for his sister-in-law Liu Baoshuang, he never likes to show timidity in front of others.
Is it because the righteous brother admires the Wu clan very much, so he is a little touched by seeing this thing?
Bai Yu recalled carefully again, on the day he married Wu Nai as a brother, whenever he heard Wu Nai talk about heroes from all walks of life, his eyes were always full of admiration. Bai Yu was sure at that time that Wu Nai was a person with great pride in his heart, so he insisted that he must be a good man, so he was willing to worship him as a brother. Today, when I saw the Mo knife like a national protection artifact, I sighed, which is probably reasonable.
Bai Yu kept looking for a reasonable explanation for his brother's abnormality, maybe his brother's Wu family was a friend of the mighty Marquis? Or maybe the brother had long wanted to see Modao with his own eyes, so it was inevitable that he would be a little excited to see it today? But Bai Yu always felt that these explanations were not reasonable enough.
Could it be that the righteous brother is a descendant of the Wu family?
Bai Yu immediately rejected this idea, because it was impossible! Fifty years ago, the Wu clan, along with all the royal forest armies under their command to protect the Dusk Monarch, were all exterminated by Gaozu of the Nine Clans, which was well known to passers-by. It is said that a few descendants of the Wu clan barely escaped, and then changed their surnames to Ge and hid in the countryside, and finally because they were wanted by the palace, they were all arrested and beheaded. So, it's never possible.
Just when Bai Yu was thinking hard, Wu Nai grabbed Bai Yu's arm.
Bai Yu woke up from his thoughts, and then asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"
Wu Nai tilted his head at the gate and said, "There is a sound!
After that, Wu Nai pulled Bai Yu and walked behind the Martial God Statue, and the two hid behind the Martial God Statue.
The back of the Martial God Statue is not so spacious, Bai Yu and Wu Nai can only barely cover their bodies, and the sound outside gradually becomes clear, it is the sound of footsteps!
"It's over, it's over, it's really over this time!" Wu Nai was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and smashed his fist on the back of the Martial God Statue.
This punch went down, and it actually fell in.
"Huh?" Wu Nai looked up at his fist, and where he smashed his fist, it actually fell into a square gap.
Boom. A muffled sound came from behind the two of them.
Wu Nai and Bai Yu hurriedly turned their heads.
There was a sound of a mechanism turning. To their amazement, the originally intact mural had cracked a long and narrow slit. Under the stunned gaze of the two, the gap grew larger and wider. In the flickering candle flame, Wu Nai could see that it was a long staircase that went straight to the ground.
The pace outside was sounding closer and closer, Wu Nai and Bai Yu looked at each other for a while, looked at the tunnel again, gritted his teeth and said, "No matter, go!"
