A knife in love

Chapter 399

Huashan faction's use of "Zhen Tianzi" as a signal to exchange news among fellow sects is a well-known fact in the Jianghu, so Liu Yong doesn't have to hide it.It's just that Zhentianzi has another use, and apart from the disciples of Huashan Sect, people from other sects don't know about it.

The son of Zhentian was built by a senior of Huashan School more than a hundred years ago.It was the New Year's Eve at that time, and this senior returned home to visit his parents.At the time of watching the new year, the naughty boy next door set off fireworks and firecrackers.The senior's heart was moved, and he ran out, asking for a few fireworks from the naughty boy to watch carefully.

Seeing that he suddenly appeared to be insane, the family members were puzzled.The senior danced and danced like crazy.When he returned to Huashan, he bought gunpowder and other items from the foot of the mountain, and hired two porters to send them to Huashan.For the next six months, this senior locked himself in the house, not knowing what he was busy with.Twice there were loud noises from the house, and the house was even set on fire.Fortunately, there were many disciples of the Huashan School. Seeing that the situation was not right, everyone carried water to put out the fire. Only then did the fire be extinguished and it did not spread to other houses.

It wasn't until half a year later that this senior came out of that room, holding a few fan-sized tubes in his hand, to meet the head of the Huashan School.The two discussed secretly for a long time, and then the master summoned all the disciples of Huashan Sect, and showed this thing to everyone.It turned out that this thing was an extremely murderous hidden weapon created by the senior of the Huashan School inspired by fireworks.Before this senior joined the Huashan School, in order to get a bite to eat, he served as a soldier in the Mongolian Yuan Army, and was a gunner of a return artillery, so he was very familiar with gunpowder equipment.The hidden weapon he built was based on the principle of the return gun. There is a fuse at the bottom. After pulling it hard, the hidden weapon will be ignited. Forty feet away, it will explode if it is blocked by something.

Although this hidden weapon is powerful, it is fired with gunpowder after all, and the speed of firing is not fast. If you are a master of lightness kung fu, it is not difficult to avoid it.Unless the distance is extremely close and the opponent has nowhere to hide, it will have the miraculous effect of a sudden blow.In addition, although it can shoot forty feet away, but if the distance exceeds ten feet, the castration has weakened and the lethality is greatly reduced.The most terrible thing is that the projectile is shot out, and after flying twenty or thirty feet in the air, if there is nothing to cover it, it will cool down immediately and will never explode again.This is completely different from the thunderbolt bullet used by He Yi, the owner of Wuhu Villa.Therefore, to use this kind of hidden weapon, the enemy must be within ten feet away, and only when they are completely defenseless can they succeed in one blow.When the head of the Huashan School convened a group of big disciples to discuss this matter, they all thought that although this hidden weapon was extremely powerful, it also had many flaws, and one had to be careful when using it, otherwise it would be very easy to get burned.In the end, he thought of a way and named this hidden weapon "Zhentianzi". It was only said to the outside world that it was a secret technique used by the Huashan sect to call or ask for help from fellow sects.In this way, even if he lost his hand with this hidden weapon, he could explain it to his friends in Jianghu, so as not to lose the prestige of Huashan School.

When everyone came to the platform just now, there was a pitch black bottomless abyss in front of them.Liu Yong didn't use the Zhentianzi to illuminate it, because after the Zhentianzi was launched, it had to touch something to block it before it exploded, and after the explosion, it burst into flames to illuminate the surroundings.Since this is a bottomless abyss, there is naturally nothing blocking it, and launching the Zhentianzi has no effect.At this time, when Situ Qiao asked him for the Zhentian Zi, although he was quite puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions, took out a Zhentian Zi from his bosom, and wanted to hand it to Situ Qiao.

Situ Qiao shook his head, and said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, your Zhentianzi is very powerful. I won't use it if you keep it a secret. Please, Mr. Liu, launch a Zhentianzi to the small platform where we set off just now." , It would be the best if we can hit the hole where we jumped from."

When everyone heard what he said, their hearts were filled with surprise and uncertainty, wondering what the hell Situ Qiao was up to.Liu Yong turned around and carefully identified the way he came from.At this time, everyone had walked more than twenty zhang away from the small platform, but the passage was not straight, but zigzag back and forth, so if calculated according to the straight-line distance, it was no more than fifteen or sixteen zhang away.After Liu Yong judged the direction, he held Zhentianzi with his left hand, with the top pointing upwards obliquely, and pulled the guide rope at the bottom with his right hand.

Situ Qiao said to the crowd: "Look carefully, everyone, you must stand firmly on your feet, so as not to stumble and fall into the abyss in shock, this life is entrusted here."

Everyone looked at Liu Yong, but they saw him yank his right hand hard, and there was a "chi" sound, a ball of fire appeared from the top of Zhentianzi, and then a fireball the size of a walnut flew straight out.Everyone opened their eyes wide, staring closely at the trajectory of the fireball.I saw that the fireball drew an arc, and after reaching the apex, it turned and fell, hitting the wall of the cave.

As soon as the fireball collided with the stone wall, there was a loud "boom", and the originally tiny fireball exploded in an instant, instantly illuminating the cave wall like daylight.

When everyone saw the situation on the cave wall, they all opened their mouths, unable to believe their eyes.

I saw a huge disc on the wall of the cave.The diameter of this disc is more than ten feet long, and dozens of large and small square holes are densely covered on it.What's even more weird is that the disc is rotating slowly, and as the disc rotates, the square openings are constantly moving up or down, left or right.

Everyone was shocked and frightened when they saw the strange situation created by the heaven and earth.Several people's knees were even weaker, and they almost fell and fell to the ground.Standing behind the crowd, Situ Qiao couldn't see their expressions, but he could guess it.He laughed at the moment and said, "Did you see this? There are 64 holes in this huge disk, of which there is only one life door, and three flat doors, and the rest are all death doors. The hole we walked in is It's the door of life. The one surnamed Zhu walked was supposed to be the door of death, but he was so fateful that he didn't know what mechanism was touched inside. Yes, the 64 hexagrams are deduced from the innate gossip, and the 64 hexagrams are intertwined with each other, resulting in thousands of changes. Powerful, powerful!"

After a while, the Zhentianzi fire went out, and the huge disc fell into darkness again.

When Zhentianzi was shining, the surroundings of the stone wall were as bright as day, but after it was extinguished, the light from the torches in everyone's hands seemed insignificant.Therefore, everyone only felt that their eyes were dark, and their hearts were tense.

Situ Qiao said: "Everyone has seen this gate of life and death, do you know how powerful Yao Guangxiao is? On this journey, you must obey my command, otherwise it will be very easy to follow his way. At that time, Don't blame me for not reminding you."

Everyone was extremely dissatisfied with Situ Qiao's harshness and arrogance at first, but after seeing the huge Yuanpan, they suddenly felt that although Situ Qiao was arrogant, he did have some abilities, but it wasn't all nonsense.So after hearing his words, I didn't feel harsh.Even Deng Yao and Lin Yilang, who had always spoken ill of Situ Qiao, did not retort.

After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he turned around, held the torch in one hand, sprinkled silver powder in the other, and walked forward cautiously.Everyone followed closely behind him.

Murong Danyan was shocked by what he saw just now, and felt that even if he slipped out of Murong Villa this time, even if the rivers and lakes were not as he thought, but he only saw a rare sight in this world, even if he went back and was punished by his father, it was still worth it up.However, she had a lot of doubts in her heart. Although she knew that it was not the right time to speak out, she finally couldn't help but whispered to Li Qiufeng who was walking in front of her: "Brother Li, what did you say about the huge disc just now?" Can it turn on the stone wall? Could it be that Yao Guangxiao is really supernatural, and can drive ghosts and gods?"

Li Qiufeng walked carefully on the passage, always paying attention to his feet, but he didn't dare to turn his head when he heard Murong Danyan questioning himself. He just replied in a low voice: "Situ Qiao said that Yao Guangxiao built such a large building here. There is a huge underground river in the middle of the mountain where the military rations are stored. The mechanism can only be driven by the force of the water flow. The huge disc on the stone wall rotates slowly after the mechanism is activated. Water driven."

Murong Danyan frowned and said: "But this is too difficult to explain. When we passed the suspended stone ladder with Brother Zhu before, we did hear a huge sound of water under our feet. But here is lifeless, and there is no sound of water." If you can’t hear it, how can you talk about the power of water?”

Li Qiufeng said: "I don't know much about the art of organ information. However, when Jin Yiwei was on duty, I did meet many masters who were proficient in the secret art of organ information. Some people borrowed the ingenuity of the wooden wheel to turn the One point of force is multiplied by a hundred times and a thousand times. I have seen a person use a hundred wooden wheels, meshing with each other. He poured a cup of tea at one end of the wooden wheel, and the pressure of the tea was transmitted through the hundred wooden wheels. , at the end, he raised a long knife. The long knife is quite heavy, but it was lifted up by a cup of tea. Miss Murong, do you think the mechanism secret technique is powerful?"

Murong Danyan said: "It's powerful, but it's just unbelievable when you think about it. No matter how powerful the water flow is, it's really unbelievable to want to turn this huge stone plate."

Li Qiufeng said: "There is a saying in the "Tao Te Ching" that nothing in the world is weaker than water, but no one can win against the strong, because there is no way to change it. The weak wins the strong, and the soft wins the strong. It can be done. Miss Murong, I am a sage, and sages say that water can overcome all things in the world, is there something wrong?"

Murong Danyan widened his eyes and said, "Brother Li, you are not a monk, how could you read the Tao Te Ching?"

Li Qiufeng was taken aback, thinking that Miss Murong was still young, so naturally she didn't read much.This "Tao De Jing" is a Taoist classic, I'm afraid no one in Murong Villa has told Miss Murong.When she heard the word 'jing', she thought the book was a Buddhist scripture.Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng said: "The "Tao Te Ching" is not a Buddhist scripture, but it was written by Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism. This sentence of Lao Tzu means that there is nothing in the world that is softer and weaker than water, but it is difficult to conquer the strong and overcome the strong. Nothing can beat water. The weak is better than the strong, and the soft is better than the hard. Although everyone in the world knows this truth, no one can do it. This sentence is not only a good word for people and things, but also the most profound in martial arts. Reasonable. This Lao Tzu must be a great martial arts master."

Murong Danyan heard Li Qiufeng say a long paragraph, but didn't understand most of it, wanted to ask again but was afraid that Li Qiufeng would laugh at her ignorance, so she kept silent.But she didn't know that Li Qiufeng's mysterious sword technique was created by Zhang Sanfeng.Zhang Sanfeng is not only a master of martial arts, but also a master of Taoism. He has long been familiar with the "Tao Te Ching".Therefore, when he created this set of mysterious sword techniques, he intentionally or unintentionally implied the most important principles in the "Tao Te Ching".When Li Qiufeng was learning this set of saber techniques, the person who taught him martial arts made him memorize the "Tao Te Ching" first, and then taught him martial arts.Therefore, Li Qiufeng can be said to have memorized the "Tao Te Ching" back and forth. These few sentences are one of the famous sayings in the "Tao Te Ching", and they are also the essence of the ultimate victory of the mysterious swordsmanship. Li Qiufeng naturally came out of nowhere.
