Chapter 209 Bronze Yue Knife
Finding someone is not an easy task these days.

Several Jibei folks were sent out. They were all well-trained Yang family children, but no matter how well-trained they were, they still had to know where to go to report the news - they only knew that Du Chengfeng went to Jiankang Imperial City , the rest are unknown, so how can they find it?
"The monsters flying that day were able to find Mr. Liu directly. Can't you find Mr. Du?"

This was what Carpenter Li said before they set off. The good old man lost his temper with everyone for the first time.

So these children of the Yang family could only go to Jiankang Imperial City first to see if they could have some luck.

But their luck is obviously not that good, because Du Chengfeng doesn't even know where he is at the moment - he only knows that he is in Lijia Village, but which county is Lijia Village specifically in, and which state capital does this county belong to? , he had no idea which branch this state capital belonged to.

When he was just chasing the gray-black fire phoenix, he never thought of asking these things, not to mention that he had no intention of asking about these things at the moment.

He was studying the two bronze fragments carefully.

These two fragments were broken from the bronze yue knife. One was picked up by him, and the other was taken out from the belly of the gray-black fire phoenix. Although they were only fragments, Du Chengfeng always felt that this thing Maybe he can grind it out for a while - but before that, he has to deal with another matter.

"Can you get out?"

Du Chengfeng turned his head and looked at the gray-black Fire Phoenix squatting in front of him.

"This is my bedroom, who let you in?"

"Let's have a fight."

The gray-black fire phoenix stretched its neck.

"Since neither you nor I want to give in, then let us..."

puff.

Before the gray-black fire phoenix could finish speaking, the phantom sword in Du Chengfeng's hand had already penetrated its belly.

Not only was the sword thrust in, Du Chengfeng slashed left and right, even chopped violently, knocking the gray-black fire phoenix to the ground, and even chopped it into pieces.

But even after doing all this, Du Chengfeng's face was still quite ugly.

Just because the moment he put away his sword, the gray-black fire phoenix actually condensed its figure again.

"Oh, oh! That's it! Come again! Come again!"

The expression of the gray and black fire phoenix became more and more crazy.

"Thoughts can't be killed! Thoughts can't be killed! Come again! Stick your sword in again!"

"……never mind."

Du Chengfeng shook his head. After all, he was too lazy to care about this birdman.Although theoretically he could chop the birdman into pieces again to vent his anger, in his eyes, this kind of beating seemed like a reward for the gray-black fire phoenix.

Of course, theoretically speaking, if he killed a few more times, he might be able to kill the gray-black fire phoenix. After all, he had already seen that after reuniting his body, the firelight on the gray-black fire phoenix was obviously dimmed, but Right now, he had no time to follow the birdman. He had more dangerous enemies to face.

"Forget it, if you want it so much."

Using the Shadow Sword to nail the gray-black fire phoenix to the wall next to him, Du Chengfeng picked up the two bronze fragments and placed them on the whetstone.

The first fragment was the broken stubble of the blade. The old blade was obviously no longer usable, but through the thin edge, Du Chengfeng could still vaguely feel how sharp this thing was back then.

It’s not the sharpness of the axe. The blade angle of the axe is relatively larger, which makes the axe stronger and more powerful for chopping. The cutting edge of this ax is closer to a “knife”, although it can also be used. Used for chopping, but obviously this relatively thin blade is better for cutting.

In other words, cut the flesh.

When the fragments of the yue knife were placed on the whetstone, those ancient and mysterious things that had been sealed in the past came one after another.

And Du Chengfeng also vaguely felt something.

Different from the forging of later generations, this bronze yue knife was cast in one piece.The newly polished bronze yue saber is not full of green rust like it is now, but has a shining golden look. Only noble warriors are qualified to use these shining golden instruments, which will make them appear more brave. Even more extraordinary.

Yes, appliances.

This bronze yue knife was originally used only for cutting meat.

However, this is not usually used for cutting meat, but for cutting sacrifices during sacrifices.Those who gathered around the altar would smear the blood of the sacrifices on their bodies to draw sharp patterns, and the flesh and blood of the sacrifices would be offered to ghosts and gods in the underworld in exchange for those far beyond the ordinary. strength.

"In exchange? Not a prayer?"

Du Chengfeng vaguely noticed something, but that glimmer of inspiration was too weak.

But he at least knew one thing, that is, the people around the altar, the so-called "Yin people" in the past, did not treat ghosts and gods as believers - this was not so much a sacrifice, Rather, it was a transaction. The Yin people offered sacrifices, and the ghosts and gods had to give back.

"Are there really such things as ghosts and gods?"

Du Chengfeng always felt that something was not right. After all, if there were such things as ghosts and gods in this world, there was no reason why he would not know about it at all.At least judging from his own experience, he really didn't find anything that could be called ghosts and gods in this world.

If there really were ghosts and gods alive, let alone him, even the nameless giant would have been happy enough to fight. How could he suffocate himself to death in the imperial mausoleum?
But if ghosts and gods do not exist, then what he saw next is completely unexplainable.

After offering the sacrifices, these Yin people who performed the sacrifices actually gained strength.

Inexplicable power surges in the patterns on the surface of these Yin people, which makes the already strong Yin warriors become more fierce and fierce. After gaining this power, these Yin warriors can They danced wildly and shouted at the altar, as if thanking the ghosts and gods for their blessings.

But in Du Chengfeng's view, this looked like a warm-up exercise before taking action.

And things turned out just as he expected. After the warriors finished dancing, they took out their spears and formed a group, obviously going out to kill people.

And the picture brought by this bronze fragment also ends here.

"Um……"

Du Chengfeng frowned when he regained consciousness. He vaguely felt that something was not right.

Everything seems to be fine, just a normal pre-war prayer and then going out. As for killing an unlucky ghost to sacrifice the flag, it still happens now. There is nothing strange about it - but a flash of thought occurred in my mind. Past inspiration always reminds him that there is something else hidden in this picture.

With this in mind, Du Chengfeng picked up the second bronze fragment.

The second bronze fragment is closer to the back of the knife, and there are relatively few remaining edges on it. If you want to polish this kind of thing, you will probably not be able to use a whetstone - fortunately, Du Chengfeng is no longer a fledgling, he is now a guy Things were relatively complete. After realizing that this thing was not easy to touch, he simply took out a piece of deerskin from his arms and changed it to wiping it.

But this time, what he felt was closer to the "human" part than the ancient mystery just now.

This scene should be after the expedition. The powerful Yin soldiers returned with a great victory, but there will always be casualties in war. After all, two Yin soldiers were unfortunately injured, and they looked like they would not survive. "We brought them back intact."

The Yin warriors laughed and cried at the same time. The joy of victory made their faces smile, but no matter how strong the joy was, it could not dilute the sadness in their hearts.

Death is death after all, and it is impossible to come back to life. Even the ghosts and gods in the underworld cannot make them continue to live.

But ghosts and gods can allow them to continue to be with warriors.

"Please, priest."

"Ah."

The priest holding the bronze yue nodded and then took off his robe, revealing a body that was stronger and stronger than the warriors.

The strong priest carried the two corpses and led the soldiers into the ancient valley. In the valley, several huge furnaces were burning day and night. After directing the soldiers to select two large baskets of ore, The priest then asked the soldiers to throw the ore into the two furnaces.

Immediately afterwards, the priest threw the two corpses into the furnace.

The high temperature completely burned the corpse and mixed it with the molten metal produced by the ore, indistinguishable from each other.

Along with the long and complicated incantations, the hot molten liquid was poured out and poured into the prepared tools.

"You come, you come too."

After the molten liquid cooled completely, the priest selected two people from among the soldiers. They had the deepest friendship with the two deceased warriors, and they were also the saddest.

After calling them out, the priest opened the tool and handed them the ax blade cast inside.

"Go ahead, take your brothers back, polish your brothers, remember to wipe them down every day... They will continue to fight with you, they are watching you, don't let them down."

"Thank you!"

The soldiers quickly took over the precious treasure, and then offered part of their spoils as a price for asking the priest to take action.

Of course, in order to reward the ghosts and gods who accomplished all this, they also offered sacrifices.

"This……"

After watching all this, Du Chengfeng finally found a familiar feeling.

Isn't this just forging evil weapons?

It's just different from what he thought. This is not to first forge a weapon and then kill people to infect the weapon with evil spirit - the behavior of the Yin priest is the opposite. From the very beginning of the casting stage, the corpse is It is thrown into the furnace, mixed with the molten metal, and finally poured into the shape of the weapon.

The difference is huge, even huge. Both the techniques and ideas are completely different.The most important thing is that the Yin priest used corpses, not living people, but judging from the results, the vicious weapons were still made.

"How is this done?"

Du Chengfeng felt that his common sense was challenged again.

But he is used to this kind of thing. After all, his common sense has been challenged not once or twice. Whenever he thinks he has mastered some unbreakable truth, this world that has seen ghosts can always bring him A little new surprise.

However, he was still a little skeptical. He always felt that the weapons produced by this method must be very different from the evil weapons he had seen before.

And in the next picture, he did see those differences.

The difference is that the ferocious weapons made using this method are more ferocious and powerful.Different from the later ferocious swords he had seen, these weapons forged by the Yin people from the bones of their companions had incredible power from the beginning. The Yin warriors wielding these weapons were like tigers descending from the mountain, destroying the city. The village is no problem.

As for why Du Chengfeng could see this, of course it was because the priest holding the bronze yue saber also participated in the battle. After realizing that the front line had lost men, the strong priest tied the yue saber to the pole. It was made into the shape of a big axe, and the way it looked like wielding the big ax to kill the enemy was more brave than those warriors.

"Give me your lives!"

While shouting like this, the priest was chopping the human bodies around him, and with this terrifying killing, the blood actually gathered on the priest's body, flowing into the sharp patterns on the priest's body, for him Inject more strength into the already strong body.

For a time, the priest became more and more courageous as he fought.

Beside the priest, other warriors were doing the same thing. They killed everything around them wantonly and slaughtered all the enemies. In just a moment, this ancient city with a complete city defense structure was completely destroyed. Being slaughtered to death was the result of daring to harm the Yin warriors.

So, how many are these Yin warriors?

Five people.

Including the priest himself, the Yin people only used five people to kill an entire city.

This is the most accustomed fighting method of the Yin people.

Arrangement of troops?unnecessary.A fierce general charging into battle?No need.The truly strong don't need to carry the weak to drag themselves down, they can kill everything by themselves.

But in the eyes of the Yin people, this is still not strong enough.

"If I could be stronger, I could do this little thing by myself."

This was the sigh of the Yin priest after the bloody battle. He was clearly victorious, but he was still blaming himself and blaming himself for not being strong enough.

"But it's okay. I just need to complete the rituals a few more times."

The Yin priest sighed.

"As long as I complete seven more rituals, I will be able to do it. As long as I complete seven more rituals, I will be able to become a real ghost... It's a pity, I still know too much."

Still know too much?

Why do you say that?
Du Chengfeng was suddenly startled.

Inspiration that was previously elusive suddenly became clear.

　The first update to increase the amount will be sent, and the second update to increase the amount will be in the morning.

　　Another: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly tickets, thank you for your encouragement and support.

　　I went to eat and everyone went to bed early.
