Chapter 47: Hostage, Bihua Needle?
Lu Yan looked at the hidden weapons dropped on the ground, most of them were darts, and it was recorded in ancient books that although there were many types of hidden weapons, in terms of their origins, hand-throwing, rope systems, etc., appeared in the extensive confrontation between cavalry and infantry. Fighting with the infantry on the horse, far away from the long soldiers out of reach, the bow and arrow is too slow, the second is to occupy both hands, once the infantry quickly forward, there is no time to fight, and the one-handed use of the hidden weapon just makes up for these shortcomings, both near and far. The development of machine shot and spraying was later, which was the result of many improvements by martial arts people after the popularization of hidden weapons to the people. The development of hidden weapons is an indispensable part of the history of the development of cold weapons in ancient China, and this kind of short and refined weapons born from ancient large-scale combat weapons is of great significance to the study of the history of ancient Chinese weapons and martial arts. Among the hand-thrown hidden weapons, the more distinctive is the throwing arrow. There are three types of concealed weapons. The first is made of pure iron, 28 cm long, with a triangular shape at the front and gradually thickened at the back, weighing about seven halves and halves, suitable for beginners. The second is mixed with iron bamboo, with an iron head bamboo pole, no feathers at the tail, like an arrow and slightly smaller in shape, about 30 cm long, weighing about two taels. The third is made of bamboo, the whole is bamboo, the front is thin and the back is thick, and the front end is sharp, which is used by those who are mature. Among hand-thrown concealers, throwing knives are more common. There are many styles of throwing knives, including single-edged and double-edged. Depending on the way you play, the flight attitude is also different. Among them, the willow leaf flying knife is the most common, the willow leaf flying knife is a double-edged knife, shaped like a willow leaf, the blade is about 20 centimeters long, and the handle is 4 boxes of meters. The middle ridge of the knife is slightly thicker, the double blade is very sharp, and the knife weighs eight taels. There are also people who tie silk on the handle of the sword, which is called a knife coat. Flying knives are mostly 12 knives as a bag, with six handles arranged in two rows at the top and bottom, with the blade inside and the handle outside; One of the hidden weapons, the user can carry up to 12 throwing knives at the same time. There are two types of knife shapes: single-edged and double-edged. The knife is made of steel, about 25 centimeters long and weighs about 310 grams. The knife body is sharp, the blade is as thin as paper, and it is willow leaf-shaped, also known as "lancet". The end of the handle is tied with red and green silk, each about 6 cm long. The practice method varies depending on the single and double edges. When practicing a single-edged flying knife, you pinch the tip of the blade with your fingers and throw it from the inside out, and the knife rotates 180 degrees in the air with the tip of the knife on the target, and when practicing a double-edged flying knife, you hold the handle of the knife and throw it forward. When practicing, they all use the yin hand, and they wrestle hard, and most of them are fired with several knives or several knives in a row, hitting the opponent's vital parts. In hand-thrown, darts have been flourishing for a long time. There are many kinds of darts, such as off-hand darts and money darts. The dart is divided into three edges, seven edges, etc., which is a commonly used hidden weapon for dart players. It is generally 10 centimeters long and weighs four halves to half a catty. It can also be divided into clothes darts and light darts. The dart is tied to the tail with silk cloth, and when thrown, the silk garment is like a feather behind an arrow, which plays a role in stabilizing the direction of flight. Light darts do not carry dart coats and are more hidden, but the stability of the flight is poor, and it takes more skill to hit the target. The darts are usually tied around the waist, with a total of 9 to 10 darts, including one larger than the others, which is used when the darts are exhausted and the enemy situation is still unabated. In addition, in addition to the hand-off dart, the money dart is also common, which is made of large coins with polished edges. This dart is easy to manufacture, can be carried in large quantities, used in concealment, can attack the enemy's eyes, throat and other parts, but this dart flight posture is difficult to master, practice is difficult, and the attack distance is limited. These darts, also known as "hand-off darts", have three darts, three edges, five edges, cylinders and other shapes, and the front is all pointed. The dart is about 10 centimeters long and weighs about 0.2 kilograms. The end of the dart is often tied with red and green silk cloth, called "dart clothing", which is about 8 cm long and helps the dart to fly steadily. Legend has it that darts originated in the Western Regions, during the Northern Song Dynasty, Sichuan monks got this skill, and then spread to the Central Plains. However, it is really disgusting that most of the Japanese samurai used Chinese things.
"Good faceless Japanese samurai, secretly learn my Chinese martial arts and secret weapons to fight against the Chinese, and tout their own country, as far as you are also kind to say that you believe in the spirit of bushido, I see that you believe in the spirit of facelessness is almost the same!" Lu Yan said sarcastically.
There was no response around, and there was no sound, it was a little strange at this time, Lu Yan used internal strength to sense, only felt that there were several figures behind him, and turned around to fight but didn't want a Japanese warrior to put the katana on Wu Zilin's neck, Wu Zilin was highly poisonous at this time, and he had no ability to resist at all.
"Don't be ashamed to say that you're right. Lu Yan said in a cold voice.
"Soldier, treacherous! You said it during the day today, and I'm doing just right. The warrior of the Wa Kingdom who put the knife on Wu Zilin's neck sneered.
"Well, that's a good point, soldier, treacherous!"
When the two sides were at a stalemate, a laugh suddenly sounded, and more than a dozen strange hidden weapons flew towards the ten Japanese warriors, and in an instant, the ten Japanese warriors all covered their hands and fell to the ground, wailing in pain, because they all had a needle tattooed with flowers in their hands, and blood flowed. Lu Yan took the opportunity to throw out the gossip whip and wrap it around Wu Zilin, dragged him over, and handed it over to Li Yun to take care of.
"Bihua needle, Zhou Xuan, is that you?" Lu Yan glanced at the needle with the flower tattoo and asked loudly.
"Hehe, Brother Lu Yan, Brother Li Yun, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
Lang laughed, only to see that on the top of the tree, a figure fell lightly, this person had a delicate face, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking a little bathed in the spring breeze, holding a strange fan in his hand, wearing plain clothes but it was difficult to hide his earthly temperament, Lu Yan Li Yun saw that it was Zhou Xuan.
"Brother Zhou Xuan, I don't know why you're here?" Lu Yan asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, I'm going to ask Brother Lu Yan, what is the name of this place?" Zhou Xuan smiled lightly.
"This place is called Qingfeng Mountain, you...."Lu Yan seemed to think of something, but he didn't continue.
"It seems that Brother Lu Yan has guessed that my nickname is Qing Fan, and drinking Qingfeng Mountain is a homonym, and I also live here all year round. Zhou Xuan said with a smile.
Li Yun took a step forward and said hurriedly: "You two don't talk about the old here, Wu Zilin is about to die." β
Hearing this, Lu Yan was taken aback, turned to look at Wu Zilin, only to see that Wu Zilin's eye bags were drooping, his lips had turned blue and purple, and he was already dying at this time, Wu Zilin smiled weakly: "Brother Lu Yan, you don't have to worry about me, killing those Japanese people is the biggest help to me." β
"Hehe, if you want to die, you really can't die, because I'm here, but I still admire your patriotism, Zizi. Zhou Xuan let out a strange laugh, destroying the majestic atmosphere when he appeared just now, took a step forward, took out a small bottle in his sleeve robe, opened the bottle and poured out a pill, and said with a little heartache: "This is the antidote pill that my master gave me, all the poisons in the world can be solved, it's a little painful." Although he said this, Zhou Xuan's hand did not stop, threw a pill into Wu Zilin's mouth, and said with a smile: "Brother Li Yun, don't hold him, lie him flat on the ground, and it will be fine in less than half an hour." β
"Good guy, I really didn't expect you to be so full of treasures. Lu Yan smiled at Zhou Xuan, he has always had a good impression of Zhou Xuan's impression, Zhou Xuan is bold, and he likes to tell a few jokes from time to time, which makes people have a good impression of him.
"Brother Lu Yan, Brother Li Yun, there are three of them, and the remaining one will be handed over to Wu Zilin to slaughter with his own hands after his injuries are healed?" Zhou Xuan glanced at the warrior of the Japanese Kingdom and said with a smile.
"Okay!" Lu Yan and Li Yun nodded at the same time, the ten warriors of the Japanese Kingdom were hit by Zhou Xuan's Bihua Needle, the Bihua Needle was extremely poisonous, at this time they were similar to Wu Zilin, they couldn't use internal strength, the only difference was that Wu Zilin was about to be poisoned, but Zhou Xuan's Bihua Needle couldn't hurt people's lives.
Lu Yan didn't have the slightest politeness, the gossip whip in his hand turned, and the phantom-like gossip whip flew out of the heads of the three Japanese warriors, Li Yun was very simple to use the mandarin duck knife to kill the three Japanese warriors, Zhou Xuan was even more lazy to grab three stones on the ground and throw them casually, piercing the throats of the three Japanese warriors, and the remaining Japanese warrior was the one who shot Wu Zilin with a hidden weapon, that person saw that his companions were all dead, and wanted to commit suicide like a wind extinguishing sword, but he was so weak that he couldn't exert a little strength, so he could only wait for deathγ
