Chapter 11 Tang Gate 2

"Three days from the day I got what I needed!"

"What do you need?"

"A hundred dried poisonous scorpions, ten pounds of beeswax, vinegar and alum......! Alright, let's get out!"

Tang Sanbiao hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and tried to look natural, and then said to the two masked men.

"You two will stay here and wait, and when the Duke is done, bring your things! If anyone dares to step out of a five-foot radius from this room, I will break your neck, so that I can do it myself!"

Then, he turned to Sima Zangli and said.

"Excuse me, can you leave these two people here?"

Tang Sanbiao's forehead was already full of sweatdrops, and his expression was really pitiful, as if he was deeply afraid that Sima Zangli would reject him. Sima Zangli didn't even look back, just nodded slightly. Tang Sanbiao put down the stone in his heart at this moment, and then quickly pushed open the door and left the room.

Time flies slowly and slowly, and the darkness of the enclosed room makes it even more boring to find anything to prove the passage of time. Sima Zangli didn't know what he was doing, he didn't even say a word, he could only see his fingers moving, and the two masked figures in the corner of the wall stood there motionless like two stone statues.

The sturdy masked man Wang Yi rolled his eyes and observed the whole room, occasionally staring at the things that were on the shelves for a while, but he couldn't tell what they were doing. His gaze gradually turned to Sima Zangli, and he secretly looked at Sima Zangli to see what he was doing. It was a leather sleeve on the arm, which was called an arm skull, and the object in Sima Zangli's hand at the moment looked quite similar to it. But it doesn't look like it's made of leather, as some parts of it are open outward, and all kinds of iron devices are densely packed inside. Sima Zangli held a needle-like prop, sometimes adjusting and tightening the devices, and occasionally attaching some new gears.

No matter how novel things are, they will get tired of looking at them for a long time, Wang Yi stared at Sima Zangli for a while, and then lost interest and withdrew his gaze. At this time, Sima Zangli spoke.

"Where are these things going to be used?"

Ximen Jing and Wang Yi looked at each other and hesitated for a moment, and then Ximen Jing asked rhetorically.

"Do you have to know that?"

"If you don't want to say it, forget it. ”

This time, Wang Yi answered.

"The slowly dissolving shell is meant to keep the poison in the shell. For example...... Put it in spring water, well water, creeks, etc. It is placed in the shell to allow the poison to spread for a longer period of time. ”

"You only need to put poison in the well once, so it seems that this is going to be put into the spring water. The purpose is to keep the newly gushing spring water in a polluted state. Then you can do this with a sheepskin bucket, which can be made of sheepskin to allow the contents to leak out slowly and little by little. Depending on the type of poison, you can add a layer of film to the inside of the bucket, which can keep it from dissolving for a long time, like grinding the shell of a poisonous scorpion into powder and boiling it into glue and coating it inside. Okay, what's next?"

"Outbreak Device ......"

"Tube! Tube" is the correct name. ”

Wang Yi immediately changed his title under Sima Zangli's shouting.

"The tube is for poison bombs. Put some explosive gunpowder and flammable poison gas together and bury them in the ground......!"

"That's what it means to wait for someone to come and then release poison gas. It's also simple, asphalt with sulfur, hemp, frankincense and a little pine wood chips can make a burning bomb. Then you can use talc and iron to rub sparks, use gold and silver or white sails to press the iron, and then put some strong medicine like vinegar to melt the gold and silver, and then it will press against the iron, rub out sparks, detonate the device, this is the tube column, can also be made into a cylinder. And then?"

The last one was answered by Simon Crystal.

"It's for you to make a secret weapon out of those bare stalk steel shuttles. ”

A shuttle refers to a shaft on a loom, but if it is used as a concealed tool, it is an axe the size of a finger, or a general term for anything that looks like an iron tool. The people of the Tang Sect made a medicine treatment of this kind of shuttle and a special rock, and when it touched the target, it would be transformed into a unique secret weapon of flame, that is, the light stalk steel shuttle. It means that Sima Zangli will use this to make a secret weapon for them.

Sima Zangli nodded.

"Although there are countless craftsmen in this Tang Sect, I am the only one who can make a bare stalk steel shuttle. I can do it for you. But first, tell me who you are. ”

Then he turned the stone chair and faced Ximen Jing and Wang Yi, glaring at them. A sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he had already picked up the sleeve he had just been tinkering with and aimed it at their hearts, none of the things in the Tang Sect were not dangerous, especially the things in Sima Zangli's hands, not to mention.

Ximen Jing was so frightened that she couldn't speak in the face of this sudden situation, and after a while, she finally relieved herself and said with difficulty.

"What does that mean, and who are we?"

Sima Zangli waved his hand as if driving away a fly.

"Choose to tell the truth or die, decide for yourself! Tang Sanbiao, that idiot, dug his own grave and drilled into it for some reason, but I am different from him, I am not so stupid. You two are not from the Tang Sect, do you think I really can't see it?"

Wang Yi asked.

"Can you tell me the reason why you found out that we are not from the Tang Sect?"

"It's easy!"

Sima Zangli muttered in a deep voice.

"Those fools in the Tang Sect will only use things that have been passed down from generation to generation, how will they know what an application is. The objects you ordered, if they were changed to people from the Tang Sect, would be something that they would never have imagined. ”

Wang Yi sighed, turned his head to look at Ximen Jing and nodded, and said.

"I am from Jiangzhou, Shandong Province, and my name is Wang Yi. This is my master......!"

Sima Zangli listened to Wang Yi's story with great interest, and what made him particularly interested was the part of Wang Yi's coming to Tangmen in Sichuan. In particular, the part that passes through the secret passage is the point he is most interested in, and after listening to it, he specially asked again.

"Can you elaborate on that secret passage?"

Wang Yi repeated it, and Sima Zangli beside him kept nodding.

Tang Sanbiao, that idiot, since he only used that as a way to escape from his wife. ”

He sighed for a long time, then suddenly looked at Wang Yi and asked.

"Do you know where that passage came from, who dug it, and how much sweat and tears flowed there......!"

That's a question that doesn't need to be answered. Wang Yi didn't speak, and Sima Zangli didn't wait for him to answer before he said the answer himself.

"I dug it when I was younger. Starting with my father, my father's ancestors, it took me a long time to dig it out bit by bit, and finally it came to my hands to dig it out. That was the passage dug by the ancestors of the Sima family from generation to generation in order to escape from this hellish space. ”

Then it was about the grudge between the Sima family and the Tang Sect. It was a grudge between two families who could create the world's first secret weapon and use that secret weapon, and a family history that was locked in a closed space and dedicated generations to another family.

"At first, it was just an employment relationship, and the treatment at that time was good...... But what's the use of making so much useless money, and how miserable is it to be locked up in life as soon as you are born?"

Therefore, they began to dig the cave, and it was not until the hands of Sima Zangli that this passage was opened, and since then, the Sima family, which had been hidden deep underground by the Tang Sect, finally appeared in front of the eyes of the world. Sima Zangli Neng is known as a skillful craftsman, and it is also the nickname that people gave him during the three short years he fled to live on the rivers and lakes.

Then, he was immediately arrested. ”

Sima Zangli didn't continue, just looked at the roof helplessly. It seemed that he was just in deep thought, but Wang Yi saw two lines of tears through the round lenses, and realized that the old man in front of him was crying. If it were Wang Yi, he would have cried, in the face of this cruel fate, who could bear it, he felt a tightness in his chest and a surge of anger just by hearing it.

"It's cruel......"

Ximen Jing muttered to herself.

"The innocent souls living in the shadows of these famous families are not only your family, but there are countless untold stories behind them. The so-called famous and decent people were built by trampling on these innocent souls, and they are like stepping on a piece of on countless corpses and sacrifices......!"

Sima Zangli looked at Ximen Jing and asked.

"You hate them too?"

"I used to be an elder of the beggar gang, but of course I am no longer so. Why did a beggar who loved to study snakes and scorpions all day long still make me an elder? not because they needed poison to use it for things that the world would not know. ”

Sima Zangli nodded, indicating that he could understand without further explanation.

"Now ......"

Wang Yi said.

"You already know our identity, you're not from the Tang Sect, what are your plans, will you make those things for us?"

"Of course I do. ”

An unpredictable smile appeared on Sima Zangli's face.

"Just because you're not from the Tang Sect......"

By the time these things were made, it had been three days.

During this period, Wang Yi and Ximen Jing could only wait in the corner of the workshop, and it was really boring during that time, but after all, they couldn't complain, they could only endure it silently. When they achieve their goal and are ready to leave, it feels like it's all worth it. In addition to the items they wanted, Sima Zangli gave two additional gifts, which seemed to be quite optimistic about Wang Yi.

"This thing also belongs to one of the top secret secret weapons in the Tang Sect, and they call it the Sword Low Spirit. ”

What Sima Zangli showed them was just a thin and thin iron plate, and they couldn't see anything special about it, but this thing was on the handle of the knife, and that was where its value lies. Sima Zangli took the brute knife that Wang Yi loved to use, dismantled the original handle, and installed the sword low wandering spirit, while explaining his usage.

"It's easy to use. Hold down the bump while swinging the knife or bayonet. Holding it down here will spill a tiny amount of saliva from the handle of the knife, this liquid is called Hades laughs, not to mention that its saliva is difficult to detect, as long as it splashes on the body, it will immediately melt into the body. Its toxicity is not ordinary, once splashed, it will take effect, it can instantly paralyze people's perceptions, and there will be no signs of poisoning in the end, so in the eyes of others, the other party just died under the knife. ”

Simon Jing said. It's not because I think this secret weapon is amazing.

"I'm also a poison user, but this is the first time I've seen such a despicable secret weapon!"

"It's more effective because it's mean. Why didn't the Tang Sect let the world know about this secret weapon? ”

He didn't want to tease Ximen Jing, but defended it with a smile.

"It's important to live first, not to mention how despicable the secret weapon is...... But in the future, if you hear that there is anyone in the Tang Sect who has won with martial arts, you can't believe it anymore!"

"Anyway, the second thing is ......"

The second gift was the object that Wang Yi had seen when he peeked at it before, and it was also the unknown hidden weapon that Sima Zangli was holding when he threatened them later, the sleeve cover.

"It's something I made when I'm bored, but it's quite useful. I gave it a name, Iron Armour. ”

The Iron Arm Armor was just the size to wrap around the front of the entire arm, just from the wrist to the joint of the bent arm. Most of the sleeves, except for the leather inner layer, are made of steel, which can be used as a strong protective belt. It seems that Sima Zangli has used all his skillful skills on this thing. For him, that's all he can do and what he likes to do, and some of what he does will remain, and some of it will remain or be invalidated. This iron arm armor is the latest plaything that Sima Zangli has made recently, and this is the only one that can be given to others. He said that he didn't care about it, but in fact, deep down in his heart, he explained the purpose of this guy with a strong sense of pride.

"What happens when someone throws something at you or slashes at you? Unless they have practiced, do they raise their hands to block it first? Even if they know that it is a knife that they are swinging, they will unconsciously raise their arms to block the attack. Wouldn't it be convenient for the arm to turn into steel at this point?"

In the past, Sima Zangli had seen the scene of a duel between the two when he was still wandering in the rivers and lakes. At first, both sides fought with swords, but due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the weaker side dropped the weapon in his hand and collapsed on the ground, and when the other side was about to break it with a knife, the person who was paralyzed on the ground blocked the knife with his own arm, and quickly picked up the sword on the ground and pierced the opponent's heart.

Although this arm is gone, killing the other party saved his life. That's when I thought. ”

Ximen Jing suddenly interjected.

"If it's an iron arm, you can save the arm and trade your opponent's life, right?"

"Of course. Why? Don't you think so?"

"No, no!"

Ximen Jing hurriedly shook his head, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and now Sima Zangli thought that he was being ridiculed, and said with a red face.

"Are you laughing at me?"

Ximen Jing hurriedly waved his hand and argued.

"No, absolutely not. I just think...... I didn't expect that Sima Zangli, the world's first skillful craftsman, had such a simple intention to make things. As you said, it would be very convenient to wear such a strong protective belt on your arm, and you might be able to practice a unique set of martial arts if you use it properly. Such is the case with the Shandong Splitting Door martial arts, they are known for their palms, and they will use their arms as clubs in duels, but only if they are trained to be as strong as steel. But with this thing, there's no need for that, especially good. ”

In order to prove that he was not ridiculing Sima Zangli, Ximen Jing found a reasonable explanation, and spent a lot of thought on this. At this time, Wang Yi was in deep thought on the side, and suddenly asked.

"For being so kind to me?"

"Of course, there's more to this Iron Arm. There are not only blades hidden here, but also poisonous needles...... What? What did you just ask?"

"I am amazed by this treasure and it will be of great help to what I will do in the future. Although I am in my current situation, I will not refuse any help, but I cannot get help and not repay it. If there is anything I need to do, you can just say, as long as I can do it, it is my duty to do it. ”

Sima Zangli did not regenerate Ximen Jing's qi, and at this time he was looking at Wang Yi seriously and asked.

"Will you say yes??"

Wang Yi shook his head.

"As long as I can do it, I can do it...... But, as I said before, I have something to do now, and everything must be based on it. Wouldn't it be too much to wait until I had done that to grant your request?, but for now, that's all I can say. ”

"What if I say I have to go and do my business first, and what if you want to take me out of here at once?"

Wang Yi lowered his head.

"Then these treasures cannot be collected. Now I really can't. ”

Hehehehehe-!

Sima Zangli smiled.

"Forget it, I didn't expect those to do this for you. Do you think I look like someone who has been sent out and is coming back? I gave you this because you seem to need it more, and I don't want to leave it to the people of the Tang Sect. Of course ......!"

He took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and continued.

"But there is a request. But it doesn't mean that it has to be done, I just don't want to give up any hope, so I'm opening my mouth to you. If one day, if you still have time after you are successful, it will be ......!"

"Do you want me to get you out of here?"

"Not really!"

Sima Zangli's request was not to save him from this hellish place.

"Before, I met a woman when I was in the rivers and lakes. Her surname is Shen and she is a native of Qingtao County, Hebei Province. We had a son, and we should be forty by now...... I named him Sima Daoxian, and now maybe the people from the Tang Sect are watching, please help me find it. ”

"People in the Tang Gate?"

"No, the people of the Tang Sect may have been watching, but they may not have locked him up. Let him live freely in the rivers and lakes is the agreement that the Tang Sect said at the beginning. All you have to do is make sure they're keeping their promises. ”

Sima Zangli did not choose to die, but in this hellish underground, there is only one reason why he has been making secret weapons for the Tang Sect, and that is for his son, he doesn't want his son to fall into the same fate, this is a father's great love.

Wang Yi could only nod silently.
