Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 405: Killing Blade, a Sign of Great Misfortune

When I heard there was some hard stuff, I immediately became excited.

His eyes were fixed on the long black bag, waiting for Boss Dong to open it.

Swish.

The bag opened with the sound of a zipper.

Boss Dong reached into his bag with his right hand and took out a pistol.

"Pistol?!" I frowned in surprise.

This is completely different from what was expected.

It was said that it was hard currency that even evil spirits were afraid of.

What's the point of pulling out a pistol?

Are ghosts afraid of guns?

"Brother Dong, didn't you take the wrong one?"

Boss Dong grinned and put his index finger into the trigger guard.

Then he pushed hard on the handle with his thumb, and the pistol began to spin on his index finger.

After showing off, Boss Dong slammed the gun on the table.

"Of course I didn't take the wrong one."

"The gun is for your self-defense."

"If you're on the street, how can you survive without a gun?"

"Here, there's another one."

Boss Dong took out a pistol and handed it to Cui Hao.

Cui Hao excitedly took the gun and held it in his hand.

He carefully touched the surface of the pistol over and over again.

Men are born with an inexplicable obsession with weapons.

Maybe it has something to do with the games and toys we played in our childhood.

For example, when boys were young, they often broke off sticks and waved them as swords.

I also played with origami guns, wooden guns, etc. when I was a kid.

Cui Hao held the gun with both hands and took aim with one eye open and the other blind.

"Brother, the feel of a real gun is just great!"

“It feels much better than the wooden guns I played with as a kid!”

"I really want to fire a gun to see how it feels!"

Boss Dong quickly pressed down his hand holding the gun.

"You can't do this recklessly."

"If you want to practice shooting, find a secluded place where no one is around."

Cui Hao put down his gun.

He scratched his head and laughed dryly: "Hehe, I just wanted to satisfy my urge to talk on the spur of the moment."

"Even if I really have to shoot, I have to be well prepared."

Cui Hao bumped me with his arm.

He whispered, "Find a chance to teach me how to shoot."

"Otherwise, it won't work even if you hold it in your hand."

I thought about it.

I don't think it's appropriate to bring a gun on this trip.

I am following Huang Ziran's lead.

You definitely can't bring guns, which are absolutely prohibited.

Cui Hao and the other two had never used a gun and were not steady enough. They were afraid that something might happen if they took a gun on the road.

"Brother Dong, this is not the time to bring a gun."

"I'll leave these two guns here with you for now."

"If I survive and return from Blackwater City, I'll ask you for the gun again."

Boss Dong hesitated for two seconds and put the gun back.

"alright."

"Since you said you won't need it, I'll keep it for you first."

"You'll definitely need this next thing."

Boss Dong took something out of his bag again.

This time, what he took out was a large, long wooden box.

The wooden box has a plain appearance, with no carvings except for the chamfered corners on the four sides.

Beneath the varnish is a dark red wood texture.

It is very different from the common woods such as elm, cypress, pine, etc. in northern regions.

I recalled the woodworking knowledge that Grandpa Ai taught me.

I feel that the wood used for this box should be red wood such as rosewood or big red sandalwood.

The box is made of such luxurious materials.

I don’t think the things inside are simple.

dong dong.

Boss Dong stroked the box with his fingers.

His fingers rested on the brass lock on the side of the box.

"Ghosts are afraid of murder weapons."

"The more blood-stained a weapon is, the more it scares ghosts."

"Like a butcher's knife."

The bloody weapon that Boss Dong mentioned is a killing blade.

That is, sharp weapons such as swords and knives that have seen blood.

And the more blood there is, the stronger the effect of warding off evil spirits will be.

The kitchen knives of ordinary people are only used to kill chickens, ducks, fish, etc. occasionally, so the effect of warding off evil spirits is very weak.

But the butcher's knife is different.

The animals killed are larger animals such as pigs, cattle and sheep.

Moreover, frequent killing and bloodshed can make the evil-warding effect much stronger.

In the past, if a child cried incessantly at night, the parents would quickly go to the nearby butcher to borrow a knife.

I took the knife home and hung it on the wall, and the child stopped crying immediately.

Of course, this is not because the child was scared by the knife.

Rather, the evil spirit in the house was suppressed by the evil spirit on the knife and dared not show its head out.

This is because children can see things that adults cannot.

If an evil spirit comes into the house at night, the child may see or sense it, become frightened and start crying.

As long as this fear is not eliminated, the child will not stop crying.

The evil energy of the butcher's knife can just restrain the evil spirits.

Once the evil spirit disappeared, the child naturally became quiet.

But it is the strongest among the Killing Blades.

Or it is a weapon that has been stained with the blood of many people on the battlefield.

Because those who go to the battlefield are all young and strong men with strong yang energy.

The weapons are full of yang energy and blood, and with the addition of the evil spirits from the battlefield, the evil-repelling effect is even stronger.

But very few of these weapons have been passed down.

It is something you can only encounter by chance.

Another relatively easy-to-obtain killing blade is the executioner's knife.

The executioner's knife was specifically used to chop the leaders of the Six Yang, and was stained with blood rich in Yang energy.

Well, in traditional Chinese medicine, the six yang meridians of the human body all converge at the top of the head, so the human head is called the leader of the six yang.

The only difference is that the executioner chopped off the heads of both men and women, young and old, the weak and the disabled.

The blood is mixed, so the evil-repelling effect is slightly inferior to that of battlefield weapons.

Let’s get back to the present.

pat.

crunch.

Boss Dong opened the copper buckle and slowly opened the box by holding the buckle.

Cui Hao and I both stretched our necks to look inside.

A hint of dark brown-red appeared from the gap in the box, followed by a strong smell of blood.

There was a faint smell of rust in the smell of blood.

I narrowed my eyes slightly.

The smell of blood, coupled with the deep red color of the box...

Snapped!

The lid of the box was completely opened.

The dark brown-red color you just saw was a piece of cloth covering the killing blade in the box.

"This, is this blood cloth?" Cui Hao asked in surprise.

"Yes, this is the bloody cloth used to wipe the knife."

"This was once a pure white cloth, but now it's completely soaked in blood. There's no trace of white left."

"The original owner of the knife said that this ghost-head knife has been passed down in their family for three generations."

"I don't know how many of the Six Yang leaders I've beheaded."

"And their family upholds the old tradition of raising swords on moonlit nights."

"This ghost-head knife has fostered a lot of evil and violent energy."

"Not to mention ordinary evil spirits, even the legendary red-robed ghost would retreat upon seeing this knife!"

When Boss Dong said the last word "舍", his tongue burst into thunder.

He grabbed a corner of the bloody cloth with his right hand and pulled it hard.

Wow!

The bloody cloth fluttered, revealing the covered ghost-head knife.

The blade reflected a cold silver light.

The sting made me squint my eyes involuntarily.

Looking more closely, you can see that the tip of the sword is pointed upwards, the front end of the blade is slightly curved, the back is thick, the blade is thin, and the handle is slightly long.

Because the executioner always holds the knife with both hands when executing.

So the handle is longer than that of a common one-handed knife.

"Hiss." Cui Hao sniffed coldly, "Why do I feel a little cold?"

I felt the chill too.

The chill seemed to emanate from the ghost-head knife!

It's a chill filled with evil and hostility!

Boss Dong took out a yellowed booklet and handed it to me.

"The original owner of this knife gave this booklet as a gift when he sold the knife."

"It contains the executioner's method of maintaining and using the knife."

When I took the booklet and was about to read it, I suddenly heard a sharp "clang" sound.

The dagger in the box actually began to vibrate on its own, making sharp, grinding sounds.

Boss Dong panicked and said, "The knife rang!"

"The sound of a sword... is a very ominous sign!"
