When the children from poor families saw Liu Ji like this, they all remembered their own life experience and burst into tears. Seeing everyone crying, Liu Ji suddenly yelled: "Am I crying? I'm venting my ambition as a man! What's the use of crying, you losers?" Everyone stopped crying as soon as they heard this. Fan Kuai said loudly: "Brother, you are so happy. A real man should not suffer from cowardice. I have gathered hundreds of strong men in Mangdang Mountain, and now I am going to drop grass there. I have a big ax weighing ninety kilograms. If the government comes, I will kill him." If you leave nothing behind, you will become a man!" Liu Ji agreed. As soon as Zhou Bo heard what Fan Kuai said, he asked: "Your ax is obviously ninety pounds, why did you only charge me seventy pounds?" Fan Kuai laughed and said, "'A soldier never tires of deceit.' I fought with you, and I think you are a troublemaker. It's not seventy pounds?" Liu Ji smiled and said, "So you two are evil?"
Liu Ji was overjoyed and said: "You are all rare warriors in the world, but you have no place to use them now. We are unlucky and can only flee. Let's go to Mangdang and settle down first. There will be a time when we can show our talents in the future, and then we can revive the world." , Rebuilding mountains and rivers, only in this way can we live up to the ambition of a man!" Fan Kuai also said: "Brother is right, I heard that 'although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die.' In the future, maybe we will really mess up Ying Zheng's country. Chaotian!" Liu Ji asked in surprise: "Where did this come from?" Fan Kuai told everyone how he and Cao Shen obtained the treasure. Liu Ji and others were very surprised when they heard this. Dozens of strong men, as well as more than a hundred poor children who were unwilling to go home, were filled with indignation and said in unison: "We will follow Mr. Liu to the death and never abandon him!" Everyone's loud voices shocked the earth. The tranquility also broke the eternal silence of Fengxize. The heroes then threw down the wine jar, smashed the shackles, and headed south together. However, everyone had just walked for a while when suddenly a strong wind blew, and people got drunk, so they lay on the roadside and fell asleep. Liu Ji saw a bluestone slab not far ahead, so he staggered over and climbed up on the slab and lay down. For a while, there was only the sound of thunderous snoring.
In the second half of the night, the bright moon gradually fell to the west, and the white fish belly appeared in the east. At this time, a man got up from Liu Ji's side and went to the front to relieve himself. Suddenly he ran back in panic and shook Liu Ji awake and reported: "It's not good! Mr. Liu!" Liu Ji stood up and said, "Why are you so panicked?" Frightened and frightened, he said out of breath: "Dad, sir, the little ones went to the front to relieve themselves. We saw a big python blocking the way. We're afraid we won't be able to pass. Let's quickly choose another path, right?" Liu Ji heard this , stood up and shouted: "A strong man should walk forward bravely. How can he change his path because of insects and snakes?" The man was surprised and said: "That python is very huge, so I don't dare to approach it!" Liu Ji smiled contemptuously, and drew his sword and moved forward. The timid man followed closely behind.
When Liu Ji came to the road about a few dozen meters ahead, he saw a very large python lying under a big tree. The head and tail were still buried in the grass on the roadside. It looked like the body was three or four feet long. It was as thick as a water tank and quite terrifying. The big boa constrictor also shook its head and tail from time to time, its scales flashed with light, and it looked extremely eerie. If you look closely, you can see that the eyes of this evil beast are like lanterns, and its big mouth spits out a long flaming thorn from time to time, as if it is spraying poisonous mist, and it has the momentum to swallow up the world. However, Liu Ji was not afraid and stepped forward in a few strides and came to the big python. The big python seemed to sense that someone was coming, so it raised its head, opened its bloody mouth, and turned back to pounce on Liu Ji. At this critical moment, Liu Ji swung the Chixiao sword, roared, and struck the big python with his sword. The big python suddenly broke into two pieces, and the snake's head suddenly fell from the air and became motionless. .
Liu Ji kicked it fourteen inches away and stepped over the disconnected area. Unexpectedly, black blood spattered all over him, and a fishy smell spurted him awake. When Liu Ji looked back at the python, his legs suddenly became weak because of its huge body, and he collapsed on the ground. Liu Ji quickly called the man who was following him and said: "Listen carefully to me: we are on the run, and people are still afraid of Qin. I have a purpose in killing this big snake now, which is to embolden everyone." . Now you are deliberately walking behind when no one is paying attention, and when we are resting in front, you will catch up and say this to everyone." As Liu Ji spoke, he leaned into the man's ear and whispered. After muttering for a while, he continued: "After listening to these words, everyone will definitely believe that Qin will be destroyed and Chu will rise. This also proves the saying that 'although Chu has three households, if Qin is destroyed, Chu will definitely die'. Remember, remember, we must Well said." The man understood and nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Fan Kuai and others had heard the news and rushed forward. When they saw the scene in front of them, they were all stunned. Several people went over to help Liu Ji up and exclaimed: "Brother is really powerful! Could there be help from the gods?" Liu Ji pretended to be drunk and knew nothing. At this time, people from behind arrived one after another. When more than a hundred people saw the scene in front of them, they all found it incredible.
Everyone watched around the snake for a long time. It was already dawn, and people helped Liu Ji and walked forward. Liu Ji suddenly found blood on his body and asked in shock: "What's going on? Did I kill someone?" Everyone told him what happened before. Liu Ji pretended not to believe that there was a snake-killing thing. Everyone was even more confused and quickly helped Liu Ji to the swamp to wash away the blood. Liu Ji said while rinsing: "If I really killed the snake, then it is the sword's credit!" Everyone asked: "Does this sword have an origin?" Liu Ji said slowly: "Yes, this sword It has a great origin!" Everyone wanted to know what happened.
Liu Ji began to tell everyone about the origin of this sword. He said: "My father often wore a sword and traveled around Feng and Pei areas. One time he met someone making a sword in the mountains. My father said to the sword maker: 'The master is an expert. , he must be an expert in making swords?" The swordsmith said: "That's not the case. Even if I have half the skills of Ou Yezi and the sharpening stones in Wuyue, I can only forge vulgar objects and not really good swords. .' My father asked why. The swordsmith said: 'In the world, unless the two qi of yin and yang make peace, can the spirits of all things be born. The same is true for sword making. I only have the essence of female swords, but not the essence of male swords. It is impossible to make a good sword if the essence and essence match each other." My father prepared the sword he was wearing and showed it to the swordsmith. The swordsmith smiled and said, "You don't have to show it to me. Yours must be a common thing in the world. How useful. My father said, "Master is wrong. During the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, I once met a strange man on the road who handed me this sword. He said that this sword was unusual and was forged by Emperor Gaozong of Yin Dynasty when Wu Ding attacked Guifang." A knife whose blade is sharp and unstoppable. It can not only cut jade and cut gold, but also kill dragons when entering water, and kill tigers and rhinoceros when it enters the ground. If you pass this sword on to your descendants, their descendants will surely excel. If you pair this treasure with a female spirit, you can forge a rare treasure in the world. Whoever holds this sword will surely make great achievements in their descendants. Noble person! I met the master today. Is it really a divine encounter? The swordsmith didn't believe it, so he looked at the inscription himself. When he saw that the result was just like his father's words, he was shocked and said: "This treasure is really the essence of a long-lasting male weapon. If it blends with my feminine essence, It will definitely forge a rare treasure in the world. The swordsmith begged my father to give it a try, and said that if he could really create a magical weapon, he would give this treasure to my father, and then he could summon the Star Lord to assist him. He is one of the seven constellations of the White Tiger (Shen Xingren), and he can also annihilate the three cunning men (Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Han Xin who fought with him and prepared to rebel), and then he can rule the world! "My father thought about it again and again, and then he threw the sword he was wearing into the furnace. Sure enough, the furnace fire rose into the sky, the flames rose to the sky, the clouds covered the sun, and the sky became dark. Three days later, the new sword was actually forged. The swordsmith He also said: 'The new sword must first kill pigs, cattle and sheep, open the seal with blood, and then worship the essence of the sun, earth, sun and moon devoutly, and then it can be used.' My father took the sword and followed the instructions of the swordsmith. I did as I was told. Later, my father gave me the sword. On the day I gave the sword, I raised the sword to the sun to observe its brilliance. Suddenly, I saw a purple light shooting straight into the sky, almost half of the southeastern sky was reflected red. Later. I learned that that day happened to be the day when the First Emperor was touring the north. He also saw this purple mist and red light from Kongtong Mountain. Some people said it was called cloud gas. From then on, the First Emperor began to go on patrols. I heard that he often visited Where did this cloud of energy come from? I suppressed the matter and never dared to tell anyone about it. Being able to kill this snake tonight is really beyond my ability and imagination. Could there really be some divine power to help me? ?" After hearing Liu Ji's words, everyone was stunned.
From then on, people worshiped Liu Ji even more, thinking that he was an unusual big shot. This sword is also famous for killing snakes. There is a poem written by the ancients called "Snake-cutting Sword" which says:
The atmosphere of Qin is blazing in the sky and the earth, and the great swamps are winding.
On the ninth day of Qianlong's lunar month, the traces of deer are at a loss.
A thousand miles to see off disciples, three cups of water to drink from Longquan.
The purple sword is mixed with red essence, and the red light spits out the green lotus.
The three-foot sharp sword is so powerful that it can destroy the golden sky.
In the bright moon, drinking blood in front of the autumn wind.
Why is Su Ling wailing? His tears turn over his saliva.
The awning makes the wind and clouds rise, and the sun in Xianyang is like floating smoke.
Spread the Liuhe Qing and lift the spirit.
I just learned that if you refine steel a hundred times, you will always be as strong as a golden sword.
Just when everyone was saying good things, the man behind him caught up and said breathlessly: "Liu... Mr. Liu, it's weird, it's weird. There is an old woman who says her son is Bai Di." The old woman turned into a big snake and blocked the road, and now she was killed by the Red Emperor! I thought she was talking nonsense, so I broke a branch on the roadside and prepared to beat her. But in the blink of an eye, the old woman disappeared! "This man! As he spoke, his whole body was trembling as if he had really seen a ghost. Everyone was surprised when they heard this. I thought that Liu Ji had killed the big snake, and he was still drunk without knowing it. His sword had an extraordinary origin. Could it be that he was really the reincarnation of the Red Emperor's son? Since then, people have been in awe of Liu Ji.
The theory of the White Emperor and the Red Emperor is unbelievable, but later Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, also known as Wang Mang and destroyed the Han Dynasty. Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty established the Eastern Han Dynasty fourteen years later. It is true that Wang Mang divided the Han Dynasty into the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty. Whether there is any internal connection between this kind of historical cause and effect is really inexplicable. But when Liu Ji saw that people believed in the theory of the White Emperor and the Red Emperor, he felt secretly proud, so he jumped up and shouted: "Hey! Hey! Hey! Listen carefully, we have violated Qin's law. According to the law, you will be beheaded. Leave here quickly, otherwise the officers and soldiers will catch up!" Everyone seemed to have just awakened from the myth, and left with shouts. From then on, more than a hundred strong men rushed towards Mangdang Mountain without hesitation. .
To this day, on the bank of Baiyi River fourteen or five miles west of Feng County, there is still the Snake-Zhancing Pavilion built for Liu Ji to kill snakes. Later generations called this place Zhanshengou. It is not difficult to imagine what happened here. A thrilling scene. One poem sighed:
It's clear that Liu Ji has arrangements, so why be afraid of a snake coming in his way?
He was a wise man who deceived his wife and children, and the public still admires his talent.
Hidden in mind, the storm is stirring, and bright and powerful men are dumbfounded.
We have the ambition to revitalize the world, and the great cause of the future will be cut off.
