Chapter Twenty-Five: The Sacred Tree!
Speaking of this golden axe, it appeared in this old man's shop half a month ago, and since then it has attracted the attention of many people. This axe is made of black iron, and there are golden lines hidden in it, which shine brightly, and people can't help but like it. Many people wanted to buy it, and they had to pass the old man's hurdle to take the axe and cut down the big poplar tree, but as a result, they were all defeated, and before they could cut down on the tree, the axe was already in their hands. The people who tried a few more times would at most smash their axes into the trunk of the tree and make a small chisel mark.
Every day, many people come to try, and every day there are always some people around the poplar tree, waiting to see which strongman can wield this axe, and even more so waiting to see the excitement and the jokes. Also because of this axe, the fame of the old man of this weapon shop has also spread, and everyone in the deserted market has known that there is such an old man selling some seemingly ordinary but very powerful weapons, everyone comes to him to take a look, pick a few guys, this old man has a strange temper, look at everyone is disdainful, and the price he says will never change his words, everyone used to think he was unreasonable, but now he is very respectful, and will not negotiate with him anymore, as long as you can buy some weapons from him are very proud of things.
The middle-aged man who was the leader of the officers and soldiers walked up to the poplar tree with an axe. Many people had already gathered around, all grinning and waiting to see the joke. No one believed that this man with an axe could have any ability, although looking at his strong physique, face was also very spirited, and he had the spirit of a commander, he couldn't help but be respected, but many people who were stronger than him had tried this axe.
The middle-aged man looked back and shouted to the people behind him, "Get out of the way!" Be careful of being smashed by this big tree!" and then said to the officers and soldiers who followed him, "Go and call the people over there and let them all stay away!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, thinking about this person's spirit, and spending so much effort to get people out of the way, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if they couldn't even get the axe up for a while!
When the officers and men heard this, they had already run over and drove the people on the road to both sides. Those people were unhappy for a while because they were driven out, and they didn't dare to say anything when they saw that the officers and soldiers were coming to drive them out, but then they were all happy because someone said that they were going to cut down the big poplar tree, and they were all happy, "What kind of bullshit? Still driving people away! Still cutting down trees! I don't think he can cut down the bark!"
Everyone laughed. Those officers and soldiers were still chasing people around, "Go away! Go away! Beware of the tree falling and smashing over!"
But he said that there were only twenty or thirty people watching in front of the big poplar tree, but now more people around him, and after a while, hundreds of people gathered around to watch, all showing disdain and disdain, "It's really magnificent, look at how he will be embarrassed for a while!"
The officers and soldiers saw that they were almost in a hurry, so they ran back and told the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked around and said loudly, "Be careful, if you are going to be hit by this tree, don't rely on me again!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they coaxed together, "What a thing!" "Ye can still be smashed!"
To say that this tree may be older than this dynasty, after many wars, many trees have been destroyed and withered, only it is still standing. The trunk of the tree is thick, and it can only be seen by a few people with their hands, and it can be seen from a few hundred meters away. Everyone knows that this big poplar tree is the symbol of the deserted city, as long as you see it from other places, you will know that it is not far from the deserted market, and according to legend, the earliest transaction of this wild city is under this big poplar tree.
No one believed that this big tree could fall, and even worshiped it as the sacred tree of this deserted city.
Looking at the middle-aged man holding the axe, he suddenly relaxed very much, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile, and he didn't muster up his strength like others, but twisted his body, raised the axe and shook it in the air.
Many people were still laughing, but the laughter gradually subsided, and everyone felt that something was unusual, and they watched in amazement as the man dangled the axe, and the space around the axe seemed to be shaking. Sima Weiguang had already felt that this person was not simple, and now he was even more surprised.
"Hoo, hoo!" the axe made a sound of stirring the air as it swayed.
Many people were stunned, and their smiles froze on their faces, only to see that the middle-aged man cut the axe towards the big poplar tree!
"Boom!" there was a loud bang, and the axe slashed into the tree and into the trunk.
Everyone was taken aback, and when they came to their senses, they were relieved to see that the big tree was not moving at all. I don't know who shouted, "Shit, I want to cut down the sacred tree!" Everyone laughed when they heard this, and began to laugh, and it was even more lively than just now, and now more people have gathered to see it, and almost everyone in the deserted city knows about it.
Sima Weiguang was still staring at it, and he always felt that something was not quite right. Seeing that the middle-aged man had stepped aside, he reached out and grabbed the end of the axe handle, and pulled the axe out of the trunk with great force. Then he shouted to the crowd that had gathered again, "Get out of the way!"
Everyone was still laughing, laughing at this guy unscrupulously.
There was a little panic in the laughter, and the more panicked they were, the more they laughed, and the more unscrupulous they coaxed and scolded!
The tree still didn't shake a bit, and the laughter was even louder.
"Crunch!" The big tree still didn't shake a bit, and it fell with a bang!
The person who was about to be hit by the big tree had not yet come to his senses, he was still laughing, and suddenly he panicked and hurriedly fled in all directions!
"Boom!-" The tree fell to the ground, smashing down the entire deserted city!
Almost everyone was shocked by this! For that inconspicuous middle-aged man! For that powerful axe! For this sacred tree! No one would have thought that this sacred tree could fall, and that the sacred tree that was the top beam of this deserted city would actually fall!
After a period of panic, some people began to feel righteous indignation about this! Just now they were laughing and watching a good show, watching this man cut down a tree, but by this time, the big tree had been cut down, and they were angry!
Angry at the face of the humiliated deserted city! Angry at the fallen sacred tree! Angry at covering up the panic after the fall of the sacred tree!
The surrounding air was full of dangerous factors, Sima Weiguang felt bad, and then looked at the middle-aged man who didn't seem to feel anything, Sima Weiguang thought, even if he could use this axe, he wouldn't be able to deal with it when those people gathered to trouble him.
The middle-aged man took the axe, walked up to the old man, and scolded, "Bastard old man!
This reprimand frightened the people gathered around.
The old man was also a little restless, but still showed disdain.
The middle-aged man shouted again, "Look for the dead old man, pretend to be deaf and dumb! This is my family's ancestral golden axe! How did it get into your hands! Arrest him for me!"
Several officers and soldiers rushed over at the order, and the old man also panicked, slipped down from his chair, and often hid behind. When they saw this, they didn't know why, and they stopped there, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, one after another shouted,
"Who dares to arrest people in the deserted city!"
"Cut down the sacred tree!
"Think this is the place!"
Then there was an uproar in the crowd, and all faces of abomination rushed forward. Sima Weiguang also felt bad, so Zhao Wang also came to Sima Weiguang's side and pulled his sleeve, "Childe, go away, something is going to happen here." ”
Looking at the middle-aged man again, he shouted again, "This group of grass cowards is going to cause chaos!
At the sound of an order, I saw countless soldiers with halberd broadswords appearing all around, surrounding this place. Everyone panicked when they saw it.
"I am Sun Xingyi of Tuchengguan, and I have come to take it home and pass it on!"
Then many soldiers escorted a few people to him, "Report to the captain, these people are related to the old man, and we have arrested them." ”
"Escort back, this weapon shop is locked, keep people watching, people who have negotiated with this old man recently have been arrested!
Everyone couldn't help but tremble when they heard a "kill", and they all stepped back.
That Sima Weiguang heard that this person said that it was Sun Xingyi, who was the person his brother asked him to find, so he hurriedly went up, and Zhao Wang wanted to stop him, Sima Weiguang had already walked up to Sun Xingyi, "Captain Du is good, I have something to do to find Captain Du." ”
Sun Xingyi glanced at Sima Weiguang contemptuously, "Which one are you?"
Sima Weiguang bowed his head and said, "Under Sima Weiguang, I listened to my brother's arrangement to find ......."
As soon as Sun Xingyi heard the name of "Sima", he hurriedly put away his demeanor, his attitude was very polite, and he suddenly showed a domineering appearance in a hurry, "Who are you! Get out of here!
Sima Weiguang was just about to explain again, but Zhao Wang hurriedly came over and pulled him aside.
