Although they are both buried underground, the Yanzhou arsenal is quite different from the Jizhou arsenal.
The most obvious thing is the decoration. Different from the rough corridors and warehouses in Jizhou, the warehouses and corridors in Yanzhou are paved with bluestone, and there are torches on both sides of the corridor for lighting. There is not much darkness to be seen in time.
"This cost money..."
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh. Compared with the arsenal in Yanzhou in front of him, the Jibei arsenal he had visited before was somewhat shabby.
But then, a special smell attracted Du Chengfeng's attention.
It was not the smell of rust that was full of blood in Jibei, but a more mellow aroma - and after Du Chengfeng casually opened a warehouse, he saw the neatly arranged wine tanks inside. .
All kinds of weapons, such as swords, guns, swords and halberds, are all soaking in wine tanks. The aroma of wine in the entire warehouse is so fragrant that just smelling it makes people feel intoxicated.
Obviously, this is the work of Liu Bolun, the former ordnance chief of Yanzhou.
I have to say that Liu Bolun's method of handling this is really trouble-free. Originally, Du Chengfeng was still wondering whether the number of people in such a huge arsenal, which only required one Ordnance Master to be responsible for, was a bit small, but now it seemed that everyone had their own fishing skills.
As it was now, Du Chengfeng casually pulled out a waist knife from the wine jar, but he saw that there was no rust or dirt on the waist knife. There was not even a trace of dust on it. It had obviously been there for countless years. The veteran blade is still bright and sharp.
I have to say that the moonshine brewed by Liu Bolun is really something good. God knows how it was brewed. He brought several jars to entertain the sparrowhawk before, but it was a bit of a waste.
"Fortunately, there are still a lot of wine vats in the house. Just throw the knife into the wine vats when you get back."
Du Chengfeng thought of his thick sword, but it was a good drinker.
I think Liu Bolun's privately brewed wine should make this sword happy for a while.
The deeper you go, the stronger the aroma of wine becomes, which means that the weapons inside will be more ferocious - maybe someone else would have stopped moving forward at this moment, or even turned around and left. But for Du Chengfeng, what he wants is these ferocious weapons.
Although the swords, guns, swords and halberds outside were all sharp and unstoppable, Du Chengfeng could naturally tell that they were ordinary weapons that had not killed a few people. With a rare magic weapon like a thick sword in his hand, he naturally despises these mundane things. Since he wants to take it, he must take the strongest one and the best one.
So, with this mood, Du Chengfeng opened the innermost warehouse door.
Only this time, Du Chengfeng didn't smell any alcohol.
The innermost warehouse doesn't even look like a warehouse. There are neither the common wine vats in Yanzhou nor the weapon racks in Jizhou. There is only a large word "Benevolence" painted on the wall facing the door.
But under the ink mark, there was an old sword hanging.
The old sword was not long and looked rather plain. Even the wooden scabbard was covered with dust. In anyone's eyes, it could only be regarded as an ordinary iron sword.
But at this moment, Du Chengfeng felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.
The intuition in his mind was frantically calling the police. This was definitely not an ordinary sword. It was best for him to retreat immediately, otherwise he might do something he couldn't bear to say.
"But this is what I want."
Taking a deep breath, Du Chengfeng stretched out his hand towards the old sword.
But to Du Chengfeng's surprise, nothing happened until he picked up the sword.
Although this strange sword was quite heavy to hold, Du Chengfeng could feel that this sword did not reject him.
It didn't even make him crazy.
"Wait, this thing hasn't killed anyone?"
Du Chengfeng, who didn't feel any evil aura from the weapons, was stunned for a moment.
This makes no sense. The feeling he just felt was not fake. Just putting this old sword there made him feel extremely dangerous. How could such a powerful weapon not be stained with blood?
In doubt, Du Chengfeng pushed the blade out of its sheath.
Compared with other thin and sharp sword blades, this old sword is really too thick and heavy. It is more like a mace than a sword - this thick blade cannot cut flesh and blood at all. It might be more effective to hit people.
"Who would use such a thing as a weapon?"
Du Chengfeng couldn't help but feel doubtful, and subconsciously took out the whetstone.
Although he didn't know very well whether this kind of thing that had never killed anyone before could be polished, but since he had taken down this strange sword, he had to give it a try.
With this thought in mind, Du Chengfeng pulled the entire strange sword out of its sheath and placed it on the whetstone.
The scratches on the sword are evidence of its past glory, and the dust on the hilt is the trace of time.
What Du Chengfeng didn't expect was that this strange sword could really be sharpened.
Just because although this sword has never killed anyone, it has been used extremely frequently.
After all, the previous owner of this sword had great ideas.
"I want to strike a square sword."
The last holder of this sword asked the blacksmith like this. He was a student.
The blacksmith naturally collects money to do his work, but others think that this person is crazy. As we all know, when it comes to swords, the emphasis is on being light and quick, having a good fencing hand, and being able to hit a fly with one sword in the air, or maybe The incense stick is cut but the fire is not extinguished. Steel can be tempered a hundred times, and a sword can be a three-foot sword. This is how a gentleman behaves.
On the contrary, this maverick man has a square sword when he opens his mouth... Could it be that he is stupid because of reading?
"You all put too much emphasis on killing, but you don't know the principle of being extremely strong and easy to break. This is how you read the book into the dog's belly."
Faced with the ridicule of the students around him, the man who ordered the sword argued with reason.
"Forget it, since you have forgotten even the most basic 'benevolence', after the sword is completed, I will educate you on what a gentleman's sword is!"
At that time, martial arts still existed among the people, and fighting with swords was a common occurrence. As long as both sides reached the point without hurting their lives, it wouldn't be a big deal.
But up to this point, this is also the case.
If the blade of the sword does not touch the body, it can be considered as enough. If you accidentally make a cut in an unimportant place, it can be considered as enough. A group of students were scolded by the person who ordered the sword. Of course they were not convinced, so they just discussed it. I'm ready to show this arrogant boy something red. Come and see some color.
But who would have thought that on the day of the scheduled fight, the "thin and sharp" sword blades in their hands would be smashed by the heavy "Fang Sword" on the spot.
The first sword smashed the blade, the second sword broke the bones. The entire competition lasted for thirteen rounds. The man who ordered the sword only used these two moves, but none of the students could stand against him.
"My sword does have no edge, but your sharp swords cannot touch my edgeless sword."
Among the students who fell to the ground and screamed in pain because their bones were broken, the man who ordered the sword was holding the edgeless heavy sword with a normal expression.
"This is the principle of benevolence."
This time, the students all bowed their heads and said yes, and did not dare to speak.
The name of the person who ordered the sword also spread in Jiankang, the capital of Dachen.
He is Ruan Shantao in his youth.
