Chapter 32: The Cold-Eyed Sword King
Let's say that while Duanmu Kang and his grandfather were talking, Ruan Shuipei seemed to be attracted by something, and then he exclaimed, "Huh", and at that moment, Huang Sheng also stopped talking and walked towards Ruan Shuipei with Duanmu Kang.
Sure enough, he found that opposite Ruan Shuipei, something like a bright spot was embedded in the wall, Huang Sheng approached, reached out to touch it, and then withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Duanmu Kang asked, "Grandpa, what is it?" Huang Shang was silent, Duanmu Kang followed the example of grandpa and touched the bright spot, when his fingers just touched the bright spot, he felt a chill spread from his fingers to his whole body, and instantly, he felt a pair of cold eyes staring at him, forcing him to take a few steps back!
Ruan Shuipei saw that his grandfather and Duanmu Kang were like this, so he also wanted to follow the example of the two of them to touch that bright spot.
Duanmu Kang hurriedly stopped: "Don't touch it!"
Ruan Shuipei hesitated for a moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, Duanmu Kang also eased from the cold feeling, and said softly: "I don't know what it is! It's so cold, when you just touch it, there will be a chill from your fingers to your whole body." Ruan Shuipei looked at the two of them in disbelief.
Suddenly, Huang Sheng laughed out loud and said, "Could it be that the legendary 'Cold Eye Knife'?"
Ruan Shuipei and Duanmu Kang had read the book "Ancient and Modern Sword Records" in the collection of their grandfather's study (actually a cave), and they were naturally familiar with ancient famous swords, but they had never heard of the name "Lengmu Knife".
Ruan Shui Pei said in his heart: "Just now I heard my grandfather call Li Shun the 'Cold Eye Sword King', I thought that because of this 'cold eyes' called Li Shun, people were called the 'Cold Eye Sword King'!"
Ruan Shuipei said: "In ancient times, the swords had Longquan Tai'a, Bailu, Anguo, and the swords were Gansheng, Mo Xie, Longyuan, etc., but I had never heard of the name 'Lengmu Knife'!" and said: "Grandpa, is the 'Lengmu Knife' only cast in recent years?" Ruan Shuipei has never been far away, and the name "Lengmu Knife" has never been mentioned in the books he has read. When she was talking to her grandfather, she also looked at Duanmu Kang beside her, thinking that Duanmu Kang had traveled to the rivers and lakes a few years ago, and she must have heard of the name "Cold Eye Knife"!
No, Duanmu Kang shook his head, and then touched his neck, obviously not knowing.
Ruan Shuipei was a little lost, and looked at his grandfather with questions, hoping that his grandfather could tell the origin of the "cold eye knife".
I saw Grandpa Huang Shang staring at the bright spot on the wall, and said thoughtfully: "The appearance of the cold eye knife was also a few decades ago, but in this matter, we have to go back to the original place, starting with Li Shun and Wang Xiaobo!"
Duanmu Kang and Ruan Shuipei looked at their grandfather expectantly.
Huang Sheng continued: "Let's say that Li Shun was released from prison by my relatives without permission, and from then on, that is, from the fourth year of Chunhua, the two of them joined up with the poor to revolt and quickly occupied Jiangyuan County, and after that, Li Shun led the rebel army to capture Qiongzhou, Yong, Kang County, Xinjin County, Wenjiang County and other places, which can be said to have swept the richest place in the entire western Sichuan Plain!"
Ruan Shuipei said: "Grandpa, what happened to these rebels?
Huang Shang said: "To say that later, naturally the number of the rebel army gradually increased, known as the 'million army', and when they finally captured Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan and Shu, Emperor Taizong finally couldn't sit still! And in those years, because of the rebel leader Li Shun's strong martial arts and the spirit of Wanfu Modang, most of the Song soldiers were frightened, it is said that Li Shun at that time, I don't know where to get a treasure knife, and named it 'Leng Mu', sharpened iron silently, and blew the sharp blade. At that time, Li Shun was invincible with his sword, so the Song army gave him the nickname of 'Lengmu Sword King'! It is said that all the enemies who saw the knife at that time were killed by him!" sighed, and said: "The enemy all died under the knife, but some people exaggerate, but since some people say that, there is naturally a certain truth." ”
Duanmu Kang sighed: "Listening to what grandpa said, Li Shun at that time could really be regarded as an invincible opponent in the world!"
Huang Shang snorted and said, "Invincible! His henchman at that time was the strongest opponent!"
Ruan Shuipei exclaimed: "He was betrayed by his own people?"
Huang Sheng nodded and said: "It is precisely because of the betrayal of his own people that the Song army successfully captured Chengdu, and it is said that Li Shun, Wang Xiaobo and other leaders of the rebel army died in that battle!"
Duanmu Kang interjected: "Grandpa, Li Shun must have escaped from that big battle, right? Otherwise, there would be no such scene in front of him!"
Huang Shang said: "Whether these people in front of me are Li Shun and other rebels, grandpa is just guessing, but looking at the banner and these jewels, it is Li Shun's rebel army!" After that, he took the jewel in Ruan Shuipei's hand and said: "As far as I know, there are only two or two of these night pearls in the world, one is in Kaifeng Mansion and the other is in Chengdu Mansion.
Ruan Shuipei said softly: "Grandpa's analysis is very reasonable!" and said: "Now it seems that they must have been heroes without tears when they fled all the way here, how sad it must have been!"
While Huang Sheng and Ruan Shuipei were talking, Duanmu Kang had already approached the bright spot on the wall again, looked down, and saw a pile of corpses piled up on the ground, and said in his heart: "Bones!" He said to the bones in his heart: "No matter who you are, after you die, you will be divided into corpses and scattered bones, and it is pitiful!"
Duanmu Kang had the idea of straightening the bones in his heart, and immediately picked up the bones one by one and placed them neatly on his right side from head to toe. Suddenly, a white light flashed above his head, as if something heavy had hit him.
The appearance of this white light immediately attracted the attention of Grandpa and Ruan Shuipei, and at this time, Duanmu Kang himself could see clearly that it was something that looked like a long knife jumping out of the stone crack in the wall.
Ruan Shuipei screamed in surprise and asked Duanmu Kang to dodge, but where did he have time to dodge, seeing that the long knife was about to smash into Duanmu Kang's neck!
I only heard a "poof", and the sound was crisp and loud. I saw that the light points were scattered again, and the long knife fell to the ground with a "snap", and it was falling on Duanmu Kang's left side!
It turned out that at this moment of survival, Grandpa Huang Sheng quickly grabbed the Night Pearl from Ruan Shuipei's hand and quickly threw it, hitting the knife to Duanmu Kang's left side, and those points of light were naturally the shattered Night Pearl that was hit after colliding with the knife!
The three of them were all thrilling! Duanmu Kang reached out and picked up the long knife on the ground. I saw that the hilt was dark, and the scabbard was red and yellow, perhaps because the scabbard was too small, and a small section of the blade at the handle was exposed, shining with white light, like a pair of cold eyes staring at the surrounding things!
Duanmu Kang slowly withdrew the scabbard, and at this time, the entire blade was revealed. The blade was cold, and the chill was pressing, and Duanmu Kang couldn't help but shiver. If you look closely, the blade is more than four feet long, the handle is about four inches wide, and when it reaches the tip of the knife, the blade rotates, and the width is more than six inches.
Ruan Shuipei said: "Brother Akang, isn't the handle of the knife as cold as before?"
Duanmu Kang shook his head with a smile, gently returned the knife to the scabbard, and walked towards Grandpa and Ruan Shuipei.
