Chapter 39 Golden Silk Armor and Lagerstroemia Soft Sword!
"Boss, the boss is back and brings back the food!"
"Thank you for your hard work, boss!"
At dusk, Xue Yu and his friends returned to the dilapidated temple smoothly, and the children ran out to greet each other, with smiles on their faces.
At the beginning, these children were severely stopped by Xue Yu. They bought them back from the ghost market by themselves because of kindness, not wanting to be masters, nor did they mean to enslave them!
The children immediately changed their words, also called Xue Yu the boss. After spending many days together, they also learned about Xue Yu's character, and the 'boss' was willing to shout.
"It's getting late, everyone is hungry, make a fire and cook!"
"Yes, boss!"
The three newly bought large iron pot was set on the stove in the courtyard, and half a pot of water was injected into it, and then the porridge was started with warm heat. There were only a few miscellaneous grains inside, and the rest were wild vegetables, wild fruits, a hedgehog and a few grass snakes!
These are all obtained from nearby mountains during the day, when mice led the children, they worked a lot of effort, and they were also the staple food that everyone relied on for their lives.
The water in the iron pot quickly boiled, and various ingredients rolled up and down, emitting bursts of fragrance. The children gathered around, holding their own rice bowls, staring at the food, and they all showed a pious look!
It’s not a fault for the children to be greedy. It’s a year of disaster. Food is too precious. A bite of food is sometimes a life!
In fact, the area around Hejian Prefecture is quite good. I heard that Henan Province, where the disaster is the worst, cannot even drink mixed grain porridge, so they can only dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. If there is no wild vegetables, they eat grass roots, and if there is no grass roots, they will eat tree bark. If they swallow all the things that can be chewed, they will be forced to eat people.
Due to long-term malnutrition, the victims were all big and swollen. They could not recover after pressing them for a long time. They were accompanied by symptoms of dry skin and loose muscles, just like walking corpses!
After a while, the swelling will gradually disappear. This is not a good thing, because when the swelling occurs for the second time, the limit of one's life will come!
"Okay, everyone come over and have a little salt and a little meat oil in it, which will make sure it tastes good!"
"Oh, I've had porridge!"
Half an hour later, the mixed grain porridge was cooked. The children were hungry, but they did not come to compete. Instead, the small ones were in front, the big ones were behind, the girls were in front, and the boys were behind, and lined up to receive food in an orderly manner!
The mice, monkeys, and big blacks are responsible for distributing them. Each person has no more or less. They are a big spoon of mixed grain porridge. After all the children have finished collecting them, Xue Yu walked over and received his own portion. He also has a spoon, without enjoying any privileges!
"Shishe! Shishe!"
Food is hard-won, and children cherish it very much. Every bite has to be chewed so hard that they can swallow it reluctantly!
Take a bite, stop for a while, take another bite, stop for a while, and after the last bite of porridge, you don’t go to the well to wash the bowl, but stick out your tongue and add it hard to the bottom of the bowl!
Be sure to add every grain of food, every piece of wild vegetables, and every drop of soup into your mouth. The bowls added by the children are cleaner than those that have been washed!
Even so, the children are still not full, but there is no other way. It is not easy to get this little food, so how dare you make too much extravagant?
On the other side, the mouse held a shovel and scraped the bottom of the three iron pots hard. It was almost sparks. Finally, it scraped out half a bowl of soup and brought it to Xue Yu!
"Boss?"
"Do as usual!"
"yes!"
Most of the bowl of soup was distributed to several youngest children, and they were also licked cleanly. The rest showed envy and kept licking their lips, but no one came to fight for it!
Unity, friendship, help each other, and take care of the weak are the rules set by Xue Yu. If anyone dares to violate them, he will be kicked out of this small group and let them die!
After dinner, the children did not go to bed, but surrounded Xue Yu, with their eyes showing desire, as if they were more active than eating!
The lack of material life can only be supplemented by spiritual food. They are here to listen to martial arts stories, which is also a relic of the small ruined temple.
"The above document said that Yang Guo was hit by a sword on his arm, but fortunately he did not break. Then he met a magic eagle in the valley. Under his guidance, he came to Dugu Qiubai's sword tomb and saw three swords and a feldstone piece!
Yang Guo picked up the first sword and saw two small lines of characters engraved on the stone under the sword: "It is fierce and fierce, and it is invincible. Before the young, he competed with the heroes of Heshuo.
When he looked at the sword again, he saw that it was about four feet long and was shining with green light. It was indeed a sharp weapon. He put the sword back to its original place and picked up a long stone piece, which was engraved with two lines of small words: "The Ziwei Soft Sword was used before the age of thirty. He accidentally hurt the righteous man and regretted it. He abandoned it in the deep valley."
Yang Guo thought to himself: "There is a missing sword here. It turns out that he was abandoned. I don't know how to accidentally hurt the righteous man. Most of the story will never be known."
…………
A story about "The Return of the Condor Heroes", Xue Yu tells it vividly, and the children are fascinated by it, and they forget that they are not full.
Unfortunately, the monkey did not have this blessing. He took two older boys, carrying a broken gong and took the initiative to go out to watch. They either hid in the dark or sat on a tree branch, staring closely around the dilapidated temple. Once something happened, the gong would be sounded immediately to warn!
After experiencing the incident with the Tiger Gang, Xue Yu's vigilance rose sharply, dividing the boys into multiple groups, taking turns to watch on duty, and he kept his dagger in his hands when he was sleeping, and he was ready to work hard at any time!
There were several traps on the sheep intestine path that entered the mountain to prevent outsiders from sneaking in. A hole was opened behind the dilapidated temple and an escape route was arranged. If the situation was not good, please escape at any time!
In several hidden places in the mountains, Xue Yu also prepared food, clothes, and drinking water for hiding. It was thoughtful and foolproof!
After a story was told, the children fell asleep, but Xue Yu couldn't sleep. He leaned against the pillars in the hall and closed his eyes and began to ponder.
Everyone says half of the big guy, I'm going to die, this is really true!
The children are growing up and have a very strong appetite, but there is no sign of relief from the disaster. The court and the government provide disaster relief and the money they get from the Tigers is almost spent. How can I support more than 20 children?
After several robberies, the human teeth became alert. They were in groups and carried sharp blades with them. The black-eating business was becoming more and more difficult and dangerous!
I have been inquiring about it for almost a month, but there has been no news about Jin Ya, Hongxiu and others for a long time. It is probably because it has been sold to another place. How can I get them back?
I have been traveling through time for several months. Have I been trapped in the mountains all day long and led a group of wandering children to have a mess of life?
Or, leave Hejian Mansion and go out to explore a world, but how about going there, Beijing, Nanjing, or Luoyang?
But the old saying goes, if you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don’t have money, you must first have a travel expense!
………
Anyway, he couldn't sleep anymore, so Xue Yu took out the compass treasure box in the dark grid and studied it carefully in the moonlight. He hoped that after opening it, there would be gold, silver and jewelry hidden inside, so that he could solve the urgent problem.
A compass, also known as a guinea pig, is one of the tools used for Feng Shui detection. It consists of a central magnetic needle and a series of concentric circles. Each circle has a different meaning!
At the beginning, there were only a simple Bagua compass and the twelve earthly branches compass. With the efforts of ancestors of all generations, the twenty-eight star constellations and thirty-six heavenly gang plates were deduced. In Xue Yu's original space, a super compass of fifty-two levels had already appeared!
With Xue Yu's metaphysical attainments, he still cannot understand the 52th level compass, but there is still a way to deal with such 36th level. In the past half a month, Xue Yu studied the compass without any trouble. He had already finished the work, and he was not part of it, and he was just the last level!
If it goes well, you can open it tonight.
...
"Crack!"
As expected, half an hour later, as the last small grid returned to its position, a rattle sound came from the inside of the treasure box, and the originally tightly-fitting cover suddenly cracked from the middle!
Xue Yu opened it carefully. There were no gold, silver and jewelry inside, but there were a few things: a soft golden silk armor, a white belt, and a letter!
The so-called soft golden wire is a kind of armor made of extremely ductile metal wires such as purple gold, black gold, and platinum. It is made of special craftsmanship. It can be worn close to the body. It has a very light weight and is extremely defenseful. It is not afraid of ordinary swords and slashing in close combat. It can block the shooting of strong bows and hard crossbows within a hundred steps!
The problem is that although the golden silk soft armor is good, it is very troublesome to manufacture, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and extremely expensive, so there is no possibility of popularity at all!
Generally, only emperors and princes wear this kind of soft golden armor to prevent anyone from assassinating secretly or using it when the emperor personally fights. Not to mention using it, it is difficult for others to even see it!
Xue Yu often visited the History Museum in his previous life. He once saw a soft golden armor, which was said to be the burial of a prince. It was priceless and regarded as a treasure of the museum. However, its workmanship, material, and aesthetics are far from comparable to the one in front of him!
I spread the soft golden armor and touched it. It felt very good and had a cool feeling, which means it also has the effect of warm winter and cool summer. It was just that it was too big, and Xue Yu's small body could not hold up at all!
It seems that its original owner must be a tall, heroic emperor, and I don’t know which one in history?
Look at the white belt again, it’s not a belt at all, but a soft sword!
It is about three feet long and two inches wide, and the scabbard is made of sterling silver, so it looks like a white belt. When you pull out the blade inside, you will suddenly feel cold light, air conditioning, and a special blush surrounding it, which shows that this sword has drunk human blood before!
Unlike ordinary hard swords, soft swords are as soft as silk, and their strength is not easy to master and use. When practicing, they must be highly concentrated. They are a kind of high-difficulty weapon. However, once they are trained, their power is a hundred times higher than that of ordinary swords!
A soft sword can stab, cut, cut, whip, and swing it as flexible as a whip. Even if you miss a single blow, just a slight shaking of your wrist can make a quick hit, making it hard to defend!
The soft sword is extremely flexible and can be disguised as a belt and hidden in it cleverly. At the critical moment, it suddenly draws out and gives the enemy a fatal blow!
Moreover, there are hooks on the head of the sword and buckles on the sword. There are seven sides, so you can adjust the distance at will. In this way, you can buckle the small waist and the tiger back and bear waist, which is quite convenient to use!
Unlike those who single-button soft swords, they can be hungry and can't be hungry if they eat enough or get fat. The users can only endure hunger and dare not drink a few more sips of water!
In addition, the word "Ziwei" is engraved on the hilt of this soft sword, and on the silver scabbard, there are dragon patterns wrapped around it. It is not a four-clawed dragon, but a five-clawed dragon, which means that this is the emperor's imperial use, Ziwei soft sword!
This is strange. The soft golden silk armor and the soft purple sword are all imperial objects. Wang Dahu is at most a local bully. How could he own these things? Or is it said to be a ancestral object?
In Chinese history, there was only one emperor named Wang, who usurped the Han Dynasty and seized the throne. After only eight years of being the emperor, he was overthrown by the peasant uprising army and ended up dead without a complete body. However, the soft golden silk armor and the soft purple sword of Ziwei were definitely not an antique left two thousand years ago!
Judging from its craftsmanship, style, and fonts on the hilt, it should be objects that have been around for nearly a hundred or two hundred years, and it is likely to be from the Ming Dynasty Palace!
Could it be that Wang Dahu's ancestors once worked in the palace and stole these two treasures?
But if everyone in the palace is full of eunuchs, how can there be descendants?
