Shi Hao glanced at him strangely, shook his head and said:
“On the contrary, very few people know about it.
Brother Wang is kind to my brother today, so there is no need to lie to you again.
Before this blade fell into the hands of my great-grandfather, it had not been seen in public for hundreds of years.
Although we often call it a family heirloom sword to the outside world, it is actually not a knife, but a sword. "
He paused, thinking far away and said:
"This sword is none other than the green sword worn by Zhao Zilong during the Three Kingdoms period. The sound of unsheathing is like a dragon's roar, and cutting iron is like cutting mud."
Wang Qi'an looked shocked and said:
"With such a unique magic weapon, it's no wonder that he is coveted by others.
According to what Brother Shi said, the investigation should start from someone who knows that the sword is hidden in the village. "
Shi Hao's expression dimmed and he sighed:
"As far as I know, most of the people who know the secret of my family's sword are my father's elders, and they have almost passed away. Today, when my father and Uncle Li leave, I'm afraid only four of us will be left."
Wang Qi'an looked at a copy of "The Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove and Rong Qiqi's Brick Painting" on the wall, and murmured in a trance:
"I'm just afraid that someone will accidentally let the news out."
Chao Ping said hurriedly:
"I don't like to wield swords on weekdays. Although Brother Shi never hid it from me, I don't take any swords seriously, let alone mention it to others."
Shi Guang's expression changed when he heard this, he stood up suddenly, knelt down in front of Shi Hao and said:
"Brother, it was my younger brother who leaked this secret in Xinzhou City last month. It was me who harmed my parents and everyone in the village. Please punish me."
This move was unexpected.
Shi Hao stood stunned and said sternly:
"Brother, I know that although you are sometimes impetuous and reckless, you are not ignorant of the general situation. What is going on?"
Shi Guang said sadly:
"In the middle of last month, I heard that the Hongwu Gang had acquired a new famous weapon - Ghost Cry.
My friend Liu Jintang met the gang leader Peng Tianba and asked me to go with him to meet him. "
Shi Hao's face showed a look of fear and he said in surprise:
"The Devil's Crying Sword, the sword comes out like the cries of a hundred ghosts, it can disturb people's minds and make the other party have hallucinations.
This sword originally belonged to the Wushan cult Yama Luodian, but this cult has disappeared for a hundred years.
It is rumored that Gui Crying has died in the abyss with Emperor Yama, so how could he fall into the hands of Peng Tianba? "
This is the first time Wang Qi'an has heard of such secrets in the world.
Seeing that he was as steady as Shi Hao, he also looked panicked, which shows the intimidating power of this magic sword.
Shi Guang was shocked and said:
"My little brother didn't know the origin of this sword before. I only heard Liu Jintang say that it can break stone and crack gold. I was curious, so I followed him to Hongwu Hall."
Shi Guang then explained the matter.
It turned out that when Shi Guang and Liu Jintang went to Hongwu Hall that day, Peng Tianba happened to be away. Zhu Yilue, the master of his gang, said that he would be back soon, so he left them to have a drink.
After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Yilue came to tell them that the gang leader had returned and invited them to see the Ghost Crying Sword.
When the two arrived at the martial arts arena, they saw Peng Tianba dressed in a blue outfit and holding a strange-shaped broad sword.
He laughed heartily and said:
"The two brothers have arrived just in time to have a discussion with me about this new sword."
Liu Jintang was an old friend of him. Hearing this, he was not restrained, so he took out his weapons and took a stance.
Unexpectedly, within three moves, his long sword was unable to bear the heavy blow and broke and fell out of hand.
Liu Jintang then pushed Shi Guang out and said:
"Brother Shi's martial arts skills are much better than mine. Why don't you go train with the leader of the Peng Gang?"
Peng Tianba also said:
"I heard that the swordsmanship of the Shi family in Qinglong Village is the best in Xinzhou. I wonder if I can ask Brother Shi to give me a lesson today?"
Shi Guang was already a little drunk at this time. After hearing him name names, of course he couldn't show weakness.
The long sword was unsheathed and they exchanged hands with him.
After the two fought fiercely for dozens of rounds, Peng Tianba took advantage of the opportunity to repeat his old tricks and slashed his weapon into two pieces.
Peng Tianba humbly praised:
"The Shi family's swordsmanship is indeed well-deserved. If Peng hadn't relied on this new magic weapon today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been lucky enough to defeat Mr. Shi's move."
In addition to losing to his elder brother, Shi Guang rarely loses in Xinzhou.
Today's weapon was broken, so he naturally thought that Peng Tianba only defeated him by relying on the magic weapon in his hand, so he didn't talk to him and Quan acquiesced.
Peng Tianba smiled and said:
"Brother Shi is determined to be dissatisfied. I heard that Qinglong Village also has a family heirloom sword that can cut iron as well as clay. Why don't you get it someday and meet me again?"
Shi Guang was drunk and blurted out:
"Okay, wait until I get the Azure Dragon Blade tomorrow, and then I'll compete with you."
Peng Tianba held the Ghost Crying Blade in his hand and said in surprise:
"It turns out that the sword of Guizhuang is called Qinglong Blade, and it really matches the name of Qinglongzhuang."
Only then did Shi Guang realize that he had spilled the beans. He had lost all interest in appreciating the knife and hurriedly said goodbye.
The next day, he did not go to the Hongwu Gang again, and only asked Liu Jintang to pass the fight off.
Neither party mentioned the matter again later.
Shi Hao listened to Shi Guang's explanation of the whole process, stood up and walked slowly, frowning and said:
“The Hongwu Gang has grown in power in recent years and is closely related to Peng Tianba.
This person's origin is mysterious. Although he is young, his martial arts skills are second to none in Shinshu. No one in the three rivers and five lakes can rival him.
Although he was defeated by Dugu Jiaye, the fatal sword, last year, he was able to escape with his whole body, which made him even more famous. "
Wang Qi'an was shocked, and the name of Lonely Gaye was like thunder in his ears.
This man was originally a disciple of Buddhism, but for some unknown reason, he became a demon from Buddhism, achieved great feats of magic, and dominated the world for decades as the "Sword Demon".
Taoist Tianji, a martial arts genius, once commented that the best swordsmen in the world are one for saints and one for demons.
Lou naturally refers to Daolou, Sheng refers to "Saint Saint" Yu Xuwu, and Demon refers to Dugu Kasyapa.
The reason why Lonely Kasyapa is also known as the Life-Destroying Sword is because no one survived under his sword.
The fact that Peng Tianba was able to fully escape from his sword showed that he was quite capable.
Shi Hao paused and then said:
"With his skills and the magic weapons he holds, how many rounds did you really fight him?"
Shi Guang recalled it carefully and said:
"Now that I think about it, it seems like he intentionally gave in so that I could use my sword skills to the fullest.
However, although this ghost cry is extremely sharp, it cannot produce the cry of a hundred ghosts as the elder brother said. "
Shi Hao said doubtfully:
"The master has witnessed the magical sound ability of Ghost Cry with his own eyes, and it is not a rumor. It is a bit strange to say so."
Wang Qi'an listened for a while and then said:
"Then Peng Tianba must have heard about the knife hidden in Qinglong Village from elsewhere. This plan is to confirm the facts and to coax the third young master to go get the knife the next day."
Shi Guang suddenly jumped up and was about to rush out the door.
Shi Hao shouted loudly:
"Third brother, what do you want to do?"
Chao Ping didn't need to give any orders, he was already in front of him in a flash.
Shi Guang's eyes were about to burst, revealing murderous intent, and he said fiercely:
"It must be Peng Tianba who killed everyone in the village in order to seize the Qingzhi Sword. I want to seek revenge from him."
Shi Hao shouted solemnly:
"Come back quickly. When can you change your reckless impatience?"
Shi Guang did not dare to disobey and returned to his position angrily.
