Chapter 1021 The Sea Man

The book continued last time, and looked at Chu Xunyu, who was walking deeper and deeper on the main path, and he didn't dare to raise a torch. The mountains and dense forests on both sides were quiet on the island, and even a cricket was not chirping. He raised his head. Chu Xunyu found that the sky here was a little wrong. The stars were very messy and he couldn't tell the east and northeast. And according to common sense, after walking for so long, he should have seen the sunrise in the east and dawn, but the sky was as dark as ink, and there was no meaning of dawn at all. The spiritual energy on this island seemed to be very lazy and recovered very slowly. The last time Chu Xunyu saw this situation where it was difficult to distinguish between stars and the years was still in the two polar regions. Did he come back accidentally? There was also an entrance to the two polar regions on this boundless sea?

Logically speaking, the sea is vast and it is normal to have an undiscovered entrance to the two poles, but the answer is obvious, because I have been in the two poles for many years and have been to most places. I have never heard of such an island, nor have I heard of the masters. In particular, the most prominent feature of the two poles is that it is a legacy of the creation world, a dead corner, which does not belong to the category of the three realms, and it seems messy and tyrannical everywhere, as if the Taoist Hongjun had piled up all the extra scraps there when he created the world, but he doesn't feel this way at the moment. On the contrary, the path under his feet was carved by hand.

While walking, the two of them suddenly saw a dried corpse hanging on a tree in the dense forest, not far from the main path. Chu Xunyu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he gritted his teeth, pulled off a branch again, lit a torch, and took Shang Qian down the grass together. When he walked over, he was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, this was not a corpse, but a corpse. There were not a big swamp nearby. There were six hanging corpses, some lying on the ground, and some leaning against the swamp. Chu Xunyu handed the torch to Shang Qian, rolled up his cuffs and asked for a mortal examination. Shang Qian hurriedly stopped it, worried that it would be poisonous.

Chu Xunyu signaled that it was okay. All of these corpses died of dryness. The Buddha was sucked dry by something. Unlike poisoning, the poisoned corpses must have black, purple and other colors. They were the poisonous corpses, and they were blood stasis. These people did not have them at the moment. So Chu Xunyu squatted down and checked carefully, and made a new discovery. He found that these corpses were not ordinary people because they had rotten armor on them, and they were old. Judging from the patterns and appearance, they were not the style of the Ming Dynasty court. What's more, the fragments of these armors were tapped with their fingers. According to the sound, they can be determined that the casting process was extremely exquisite and they were not ordinary soldiers. Shang Qian found scattered knives on the ground, picked them up and asked curiously: "Brother, why is the blade thin and long, but the hilt of the knife is also very long, which is even more strange than your love sword." After saying that, he handed it to Chu Xunyu to see.

Chu Xunyu took it and was stunned when he saw it. He saw a short knife on the waist of the corpse. He picked it up and compared it. He tried the toughness and weight of the two swords with his hands. He suddenly realized it and looked a little surprised. He told Shang Qian that this was actually a Tang sword, which was the sword of the Tang Dynasty. There were several types of Tang swords. The one Shang Qian just handed over it should be called Mo Dao. It was a cavalry killing horses that were riding on horses and killing enemies. However, it was different from the horse-killing swords in other dynasties. The handle of the knife was shorter, and there was a blade. More than half of it is long, so that the soldier can hold the force with both hands, without being too long, making it stupid and difficult to wave. Another short knife has a very good origin. The hilt has a ring, and the hilt carved with the dragon and phoenix royal pattern. This is a kind of waist knife called "Yi Dao" among the Tang swords, but as the name suggests, this kind of knife is rarely used in actual combat. On the contrary, it is worn by ordinary imperial guards in the palace, and is good at accessories. Generally, it appears more frequently in national affairs. It is a symbol of identity.

The reason why the Tang sword is recognized is that the Tang sword is very different from the weapons of other dynasties, that is, the sword is thin and long. Generally speaking, the sword is like this. The sword must be wide and heavy. However, the casting process of the Tang sword is very strange and has been lost. For many reasons, the Tang sword was improved when casting weapons in the Tang Dynasty. All Tang swords abandoned the usual stupid impressions of swords. On the contrary, they focused on armor-breaking, toughness and agility during fighting. Chu Xunyu held both ends of the blade with his hand, and it was obvious that so many years have passed. The blade bent for Chu Xunyu. Once he let go, he bounced back. This shows that its toughness is first-class. Moreover, Chu Xunyu remembers that according to classics, the "earth casting" used by Tang swords was smelted in the soil. The specific details are unknown. The Work Department of the Tang Dynasty

It was unified in the deep mountains and was extremely confidential. The knives cast were slender but very good at breaking armor. The army in the prosperous Tang Dynasty once looked down upon and could not do without this casting technology. Fighting against the enemy, you can basically break armor with one knife and kill the second knife. Of course, the national strength required to cast this kind of Tang sword is extraordinary. One knife is equivalent to the salary of a court official for half a month. Let's put it this way, if you are an official in the court, the salary you receive in one month can be eaten and worn, but you can only get two Tang swords. This shows that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was unprecedented in its heyday. The increasingly decayed Tang swords later also had a lot to do with the large-scale decline of the Tang Dynasty's national strength after the Anshi Rebellion. The court could not afford such expensive military equipment at all, and gradually disappeared.

Chu Xunyu saw that the hilt of the Mo Dao was broken, so he used the wooden spear in his hand to tie it up with a cloth strip, swept away all the long and short swords that they could still use on their bodies, and wore them on Shang Qian and himself. To be honest, Chu Xunyu has been using the sword for many years, but he has not been able to hold the sword in his hand. Now he has such a hard guy in his hand, so he has a lot of confidence. This Lao Shizi Island is obviously going to fight, but it is just a matter of time. With the Tang sword in his hand, he can take it. I will see if there is a chance to secretly hold a weird person he just saw. Take it first.

They tried the sword, and Chu Xunyu's eyes were undercurrent. After all, he was half a doctor and half a devil in his bones. If Sun Mengqing and Mu Yuan and others had a mistake, even if he sacrificed his life, he would have to cut these bastards into pieces and finally committed suicide by committing suicide by the beach. It would be worthy of everyone to accompany him along the way. Especially Sun Mengqing, he had already lost a Xiaoxiao, and he never gave up the heavens, and there was another confidante. If everything was fine later, it would be fine. If there was half of the word "no", he would just raise the table and slash it, and he wouldn't say anything else.

Seeing Chu Xunyu squatting on the ground and busy packing his knives, Shang Qian also inserted a torch and squatted down to help, and asked Chu Xunyu: "I said brother, as you said, why did these Tang Dynasty imperial guards appear here?"

Chu Xunyu had thought about this question, but there was no specific answer, so he could only guess a rough idea. He told Shang Qian that the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was unprecedentedly powerful, so he was not satisfied with the boundaries of land and began to move towards the ocean on a large scale. Originally, shipbuilding was built in all dynasties, but they were all just like that. Only in the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army swept across the land, shocked the world, and then began to build ships. The first chapter of the real voyage in the history of China was opened from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty began to forge large ocean ships that ride the wind and waves with unprecedented national strength, and began to send fleets to all directions to travel around the sea. The Tang kings of all dynasties were like this. There were no less than a hundred sailing trips recorded in official historical books alone. The distance and wideness of the routes were unprecedented. There were many strange stories and strange events in it. Not to mention anything else, Chu Xunyu speculated that the most likely one was recorded in Liu Xun's "Lingbiaoluyi".

Liu Xun was Sima from Guangdong and Guangxi during the Tang Dynasty. He had a very detailed record of the voyages sent by the court. He compiled a book called "Lingbiao Luyi" for strange stories and published it in the world. He searched for a very similar strange thing. It was said that the southeastern fleet sent during the Zhenguan period visited various overseas small countries along the way, demonstrating the strength of the Tang Dynasty, such as the Lion Kingdom, the Wushu Kingdom, etc. Among them, on a deep-sea island in Nanyang, the fleet met a strange barbarian called "Sea People".

"Who is the sea man...?" Shang Qian was puzzled.

Chu Xunyu shook his head, but he didn't know it himself. The book records that seeing this kind of seaman really scared the crew. This kind of seaman was tall and wide, with a body connected, with a picture of the whole body, covered with bronze armor, a vocal music, had a irritable personality, and was not speaking Chinese. On the beach, he had a conflict with the visiting fleet at that time. Thinking about the arrogant army of the Tang Dynasty, how could you bear the trouble of the barbarians in the border island country? If you want to fight, you will be beaten. So with a wave of your hand, thousands of troops holding armor-breaking horses and killing horses, they directly got off the boat and rushed to the beach. Unexpectedly, those seamans were so arrogant.

He was strong, carrying copper armor and had great brute force. He never thought that the Tang sword would break the armor and kill the enemy like chopping melons and vegetables. Both sides were considered to be a match for the match, and they killed the corpses all over the beach before they stopped fighting. The Tang fleet was far away in the deep sea and could not conquer for a while, so they had to return to sail. However, along the way, he heard the legend of old fishermen that there was indeed such a monster island overseas, which was erratic. There was a kind of monster barbarian on the island who played music and cannibalism, which was extremely cruel. It is said that there was an elixir of elixir and thousands of jewelry on this monster island, which made its own country. There were rumors that this island had a big secret deep in the ocean.

At that time, the fleet had not captured the island, so it led its troops back to Guangdong and Guangxi to replenish supplies and asked the court to report to the court to reinforce. When the troops were strong, it was killed again. But what was amazing was that the island disappeared. This was really strange. So I searched nearby for more than half a year and found nothing, so I had to return in disappointment. After several generations of kings sent fleets to search for nothing. As Sima at that time, Liu Xun sailed from Guangdong and Guangxi, and he handled the food and supplies, so he knew very well, so he recorded them all one by one, sorted out the information for several generations, and finally wrote a book and published "Lingbiao Luyi".

Chu Xunyu speculated that this strange thing should be said of this island. These people dressed in the imperial guards should have been sent by a Tang King to find this island. They all said that this demon island is erratic in the depths of the ocean. Could it be that he bumped into his group? What is this really a back-carrying thing? Could those strange black shadowed men be the "sea people" mentioned in the book? Chu Xunyu has seen many monsters and monsters in his life, and he has never seen any "sea people". I am afraid that he will open his eyes to himself today.

Chu Xunyu packed up all the knives and tried the Tang sword in his hand. It was a little light. Everything else was fine. He was about to take Shang Qian back, but suddenly he was stunned and stared at Shang Qian without moving. His eyes were full of murderous intent. Shang Qian was a little furious and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Xunyu snorted coldly and said, "I knew that there must be something strange about these corpses gathering. The imperial guards are all fully armed and very skilled. How could they die tragically? Sure enough, you finally showed your face, and you have almost escaped by you just now."

When he was talking, Chu Xunyu's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he directly waved his sword and slashed at Shang Qian...
