Chapter 15: The Tip of the Knife
In the palm of Tian Bo's hand was a palm-sized fragment of unknown material, reflecting a silvery-white light under the illumination of the moonlight.
"This is what I picked up just now, and it fell directly into my arms" Tian Bo was also carefully looking at the fragments in his hand, his expression was urgent......
"Go back to the house and take a good look at what it is, and it's not bad to mine the ore for a while. Qi Xiaohu saw that several other people were staring at the fragments, so he spoke, and the excitement in his heart made his voice tremble a little.
"Yes, maybe you can get a good thing, go back and take a closer look, it's not too late to come back later" Tian Bo's eyes lit up, he felt that he had picked up a treasure.
Yang Qing and Lu Zhen nodded in response, now they are very tired, it is good to go back and rest for a while, just to take a good look at this fragment, the four teenagers threw down the tools in their hands and ran to Tian Bo's stone house.
When they arrived at the stone house, Tian Bo smeared and lit the candles, put the pieces on the table, and the four youth groups watched around the table.
"This seems to be the tip of a knife" The fragment has an arc on one side, one section is pointed, and the other end is an irregular fracture, this fragment is very similar to the tip of the long knife that Yang Qing saw in the eight-wrought iron shop.
"I look like it, but you look at this material, it's not gold or stone, the surface is as smooth as porcelain, it's a good thing" Qi Xiaohu looked at the fragments and said excitedly, and then Yang Qing's words said.
"Where did you pick it up, it can't be a fragment of a magic weapon," Lu Zhen touched the surface of the fragment with his hand and said cautiously.
"At that moment, I was smashing the ore, and suddenly something hit me, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was this thing," Tian Bo said with his hands and feet, and then rubbed his chest with his hands, as if there was still some pain at the moment.
"Well, that's it, Tian Bo was just about to say it, I interrupted it, I didn't want those two people to know about it" Qi Xiaohu's eyes rolled slightly, and his mind and mind turned faster than Tian Bo.
"You kid reacted very quickly, if you don't stop me, I'll definitely say that I'll show my mouth" Tian Bo touched his head and smiled.
"This should be the tip of a certain knife, see if it's sharp" Qi Xiaohu picked up the tip of the knife, wanting to try how sharp it was, so he swiped towards the table.
The tip of the "zheng" knife slashed across the table, making a 'zheng' sound, which was not at all what an ordinary sword can emit, and an inch-deep scratch appeared on the table.
"My mother, fortunately, it wasn't the blade that touched my body, otherwise I wouldn't have to cut it off" Tian Bo saw the inch-deep scratch, cold sweat appeared on his face, and he was afraid for a while, if it wasn't for the side of the tip of the knife to hit Tian Bo's body, but the blade, then it would be either death or injury.
When you hold it, you also drag it with your hands, otherwise there will be scratches on your hands.
"Let's see if there are any injuries on the body" A few people were quickly asked to check by Tian Bo as soon as he said this, there were no wounds on his body, and his clothes were not torn, so a few people were relieved.
A few people hadn't seen the magic weapon, and they didn't know what the magic weapon looked like, but after looking at it for a while, they could see that it was a knife tip and it was very sharp, but nothing else was found.
"If the tip of this knife is not an ordinary weapon, then he must not know how sharp it is," Tian Bo carefully held the tip of the knife, worried about being scratched by the tip of the knife, and watched up and down, left and right.
"You see, is there a pattern on this section?" The section is irregular, and you can vaguely see that there are small lines, some horizontal, some vertical, and some like small holes extending inward.
"What is this, bitten by insects?" Lu Zhen looked at the vague lines, and felt that there was no regularity at all, but it was like a small hole bitten by a small insect.
"What kind of insect can bite a weapon, the tip of this knife is very hard at first glance" Tian Bo immediately disagreed with Lu Zhen's statement, but he couldn't tell what this pattern was. "Let's hit a few rocks and see how hard it is"
"Don't smash it, you look at how smooth the surface is, it's not good if it gets flowered" Yang Qing said cautiously, seeing the tip of the knife, reflecting his face, he felt that this surface was smoother than the copper mirror.
"If we can break it, then it's not a treasure, and it's not a pity to break it" Tian Bo dragged the tip of the knife with his palm, a little eager to try, several people felt that what Tian Bo said made sense, and they also wanted to see what else was extraordinary about this tip in addition to sharpness.
Several people returned to the mining area, Tian Bo put the tip of the knife on the ground, picked up a fist-sized stone, and smashed it hard at the tip of the knife.
"Ding..."The stone smashed on the tip of the knife, making a pleasant sound, leaving a little stone powder on the surface of the tip of the knife, Tian Bo picked up the tip of the knife and blew off the stone powder on the surface, there was no trace on the tip of the knife, smooth as ever.
"Ding, ding, ding..." Tian Bo didn't wait for the other three to watch, put the tip of the knife on the ground again, lifted the stone and slammed it three times.
Picking it up and looking at it was still without any traces, the smooth surface reflected the moonlight shining on his face.
"How is it" Yang Qing and the others hurriedly squatted down to watch, and their hearts were inexplicably relieved when they saw that there was no damage.
"Stone smashing can't be done, ordinary iron tools can't necessarily leave traces with stones, smash with a hammer" Tian Bo looked satisfied, but he still had to continue to try, throw away the stone in his hand and go to find the long hammer.
Yang Qing and the three of them didn't stop it, let Tian Bo take the hammer, raised the hammer, picked up the strength to open the ore and smashed it down.
"Ding...", the tip of the knife trembled a few times and regained its calm, but there was still no damage.
"My strength is already small, this will be even more boring, which of you will try again" Tian Bo's face was flushed, I don't know if he was excited or tired, let a few people try again.
"Okay, I'll try" Qi Xiaohu took the hammer, he was much stronger than Tian Bo, and smashed the round hammer suddenly, but needless to say, there was no trace.
Lu Zhen also went up to try it, he didn't have Qi Xiaohu's strength, and there was no side to the 'ding'.
"Yang Qing, you also try, if you smash it, you will be great, if you smash it, it will be mine" Tian Bo said to Yang Qing with a smile, which would make him very confident in the tip of the knife.
Yang Qing actually felt itchy in his heart, and he also wanted to smash a hammer to play, seeing Tian Bo say this, his heart was fierce, and he reached out to take the long hammer.
Yang Qing took a long breath, his face returned to calm, he held the long hammer in his hand, the cuffs were rolled up high, the bare arm muscles were tensed, his legs took a step backwards, and his legs were slightly bent.
Look at the tip of the knife on the ground, raise your heels, carry your back with your belt, strap your arms with your back, and hammer your arm, and suddenly exert force.
"Whew..."Yang Qing exerted all his strength, and the long hammer roared towards the tip of the knife.
"Poof..."The long hammer slammed into the tip of the knife, which didn't make the same 'ding' sound as the previous times.
"Ahh
"Yang Qing, what's wrong with Yang Qing" Tian Bo and the others originally stood by and squinted at it, they thought that although Yang Qing was stronger than them, he couldn't damage the tip of the knife, but he didn't expect the long hammer to be jumped and brought Yang Qing down.
"It's bleeding, Yang Qing, your arm is bleeding" Lu Zhen helped Yang Qing up in a panic, and found that Yang Qing's left arm was scraped against the stone moat, and he was bleeding at the moment.
"Don't move, I'll take a look" Qi Xiaohu said solemnly, squatting on the ground, looking at Yang Qing's arm, "Fortunately, the wound is not deep, it didn't hurt the muscles, it doesn't matter if the bleeding stops"
"Well, it's okay, it doesn't hurt much" Yang Qing was a little confused, grinning and said nonchalantly. There was originally a wound on the lower arm bone of the left arm, but this time it was only a scratch and did not hurt the bone again.
Picking up the tip of the knife on the ground, a few people returned to Tian Bo's stone house, potted a basin of water, and bandaged it briefly.
"Let's see if the tip of the knife is broken" Yang Qing reminded worriedly, this knife-like fragment was smashed by him, how could he afford it.
"There is no damage at all, it is the same as the original" Tian Bo's face was full of doubts, "Yang Qing, why did you suddenly fall?"
"I don't know, when I smashed down, I felt a huge force surging from the hammer, and I couldn't hold the handle of the hammer, and then I fell" Yang Qing was also puzzled, recalling the scene at that time.
Tian Bo didn't react when they smashed it, and they smashed it like this, are they really so unlucky?
"At that time, I saw a white light, and it disappeared in a flash, and I don't know if I was dazzled" Yang Qing said suspiciously, staring at the tip of the knife, but at this time it was not clear whether it was wrong.
"I saw it too" "Well, it's gone in a flash" "Yes, yes, so you all saw it"
Tian Bo and the others also saw the white light, and Yang Qing knew that he was not dazzled. In this way, the four of them were even more puzzled.
Several people discussed it several times and guessed such a result, it may be that the three of them took turns to smash the tip of the knife, and Yang Qing was the last to smash it, and the power used was the largest, and the four times the power was superimposed and caused to be attacked by the tip of the knife.
This result may not be accurate, but it made Tian Bo realize that he had picked up a treasure, sharp, hard, and able to fight back. He didn't know how much it was worth, but he was sure it wasn't ordinary.
"Each of the four of us has a share of this thing, and when the money is sold, the four of us will divide it equally" Tian Bo couldn't hold back his excitement and smiled hehehe.
"Yes, this is what I discussed with Tian Bo, we can't swallow this good thing alone" Qi Xiaohu said approvingly, the discovery of the tip of the knife, with his credit, can naturally determine the ownership of the tip of the knife.
"I can't ask for this" Yang Qing knew that this was a treasure and it must be worth a lot of money, but he also said categorically.
The tip of the knife was not something he had found, nor had he picked it up, and although he had nothing in gold, silver, or jewelry, he would not take anything from anyone else.
Tian Bo and Qi Xiaohu looked at Yang Qing in surprise, Lu Zhen opened his mouth and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Yang Qing, don't you take me and Tian Bo as friends?" Qi Xiaohu stared at Yang Qing's eyes and said, his tone a little angry.
"How come, you, Tian Bo, Lu Zhen is my best friend" Yang Qing hurriedly said, his tone solemn.
"Then why don't you" Qi Xiaohu's face softened when he heard Yang Qing's words, and then asked Yang Qing.
"The tip of this knife is yours, I can't take other people's things, this is what my father and mother have warned me since I was a child" Yang Qing said with a serious expression, when he was a child, his father and mother warned him, don't take things that are not your own, no matter how poor you are, you can't be spineless.
"Yang Qing, we have nothing to do with backbone, we are friends, don't you appreciate anything I share with you" Tian Bo opened a mine with Yang Qing and others at night, treating him as a good friend.
"Don't persuade the two of you, we don't know the value of this knife tip yet, is there anyone who doesn't know yet, it's too early to say this" Lu Zhen interjected, and said in one sentence.
"This can be worth a lot of money, hey, yes, it's also broken" Tian Bo didn't have the excitement just now, and he began to realize the problem.
"Whether it's worth it or not, it has to be hidden, and we can't let the fifth person know, and when we have the chance, we won't be too late to figure it out" Qi Xiaohu said to the others, he knew that this matter was urgent.
"It must be kept secret," Yang Qing and the others knew the severity and said solemnly.
This will not be long before the time comes, and it is not possible to continue to open the mine, and after the discussion, Yang Qing and Lu Zhen left Tian Bo's stone house.
"Yang Qing, you are so stupid, you refused so quickly" After leaving the stone house, Lu Zhen said to Yang Qing, his tone was a little complaining.
"Cultivate the "Innate Sixteen Styles" first, and then go back to sleep" Yang Qing was a little apologetic, and pulled Lu Zhen to the open space to cultivate.
