The Golden Age Chapter 828: Hongmang

Old Su even saw the contract delivered to him, a little confused, raised his hand to touch his head, and said strangely: "What contract? What does this mean?"

"This is for your own good." The young man smiled: "Let's compete, you won the gold ingot, and the contract is clearly written." To the man: "You show him."

The man handed the contract to Mr. Su. Mr. Su was at a loss. The farmers behind were also a little surprised. They would fight as soon as they thought they would fight. Why would they have to sign a contract? Someone couldn't help saying: "We are illiterate, and we can't read and understand."

"Read it to them." The young man still smiled.

The man knew the content of the contract naturally, and he said: "Contract: Compete in martial arts, the winner will get gold ingots, the outcome is unpredictable, each bears responsibility." Holding the contract in one hand and holding the other hand A mud box, Xiang Su Lao said: "Just press a handprint."

"This is really what's written on it?" Old Su said more suspiciously: "You are not lying to me?"

The man said indifferently: "What do you think you are worth deceiving?" Compared to the politeness of the young man, this man seemed much colder.

Su Lao Geng suddenly felt a little unsure, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I...I won't fight anymore."

"It's okay, the contest is all voluntary." The young man laughed and said, "I won't force you." In the past, he had to put away the gold ingots. Several farmers stared at the gold ingots, and they were a little bit reluctant. One person couldn't help saying: "Old Su, I missed this village without this shop, you...you don't fight, I will fight!" A farmer was about to step forward, and Old Su hurriedly said: " Get out of the way, there is always first come first, I will fight first, you go away." To the young man: "Lady, let’s compare strength and see whose strength is stronger."

The man handed over the contract again, and Mr. Su only hesitated for a moment, his finger was stained with ink pad, and he pressed his handprint.

The man immediately put away the contract, without saying a word, returned to his horse, took a cloth bag from the horse's back, and put the contract and inkpad into the bag.

Although Elder Su was a little nervous, he smiled and said to the young man: "You are young, you come first." After speaking, he raised his hand and hooked inward.

The young man smiled kindly, but he squatted down and put the black cloth bag that he had been holding on the ground. The farmers were very surprised. They stretched their heads to look, but saw the young man open the black cloth bag. Soon, a big knife appeared inside.

Old Su suddenly changed his eyes and said anxiously: "What are you doing with the knife?"

The young man picked up the knife with a sense of ritual. This is a straight knife. The blade is much narrower than the Datang horizontal knife. The blade is flat on one side, but there is a protrusion in the middle on the other side, which is the same as the Datang knife. completely different.

"This is forged from the iron ore on Jinshi Mountain in Bohai Sea. It was forged by Li Xuanzhen, the No. 1 knife-making master in Bohai Sea. I cut the iron like mud. I named it Hongmang!" The young man's voice was peaceful and smiling. Said: "Hongmang means that after the knife is out of its sheath, the opponent will only see a red light, and then sleep forever."

"Stop fighting!" Su Lao even realized something was wrong, backed up and waved his hand: "I'm not fighting anymore."

Several farmers saw the young men picking up the knife, but they all changed color, and they shrank one by one. Two of them had already hid behind the big locust tree.

"The contract has been handprinted." The young man smiled: "It is a life and death contract. It is a contest of strength. Life and death are all borne by themselves

Tank. I heard that all of you Tang people abide by the contract, so naturally you can't go back. The blade pointed forward and bowed slightly: "Please! "

"He is not from Datang." A farmer exclaimed.

Su Lao even saw the blade pointed at him, and his soul was lost. He stepped back a few steps, suddenly turned and ran. When the other farmers saw this, they all fled in all directions.

The young man did not move. When Old Su ran more than ten steps away, his feet slammed forward like the wind, his face showed excitement, his face twisted, his handsome face became very ugly, he The speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had reached behind Su Laogeng, arms raised, the red blade in his hand had already rested and smashed, only a scream was heard, blood spattered, and the knife slashed, Su Laogeng His head had been chopped off from his neck, and his head flew out, but his headless body still ran forward a few steps because of inertia, and then fell to the ground.

"It's killing, it's killing!" The farmers exclaimed, their souls scattered, and they ran desperately.

The young man put away the knife, looked at the twitching headless corpse on the ground, shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that the Chinese are so cowardly, they would rather flee and be killed than fight to the death." Lifted his head and looked at the sky. The hot sun murmured: "The spirit of Tang people's martial arts has long since disappeared."

The man waited by the side of the road, and the young man walked back slowly, unhappy.

"I won't have fun today." The young man shook his head and said, "I have to find another person to try."

The man respectfully said: "My son, we walked too fast, and the mission was left behind. There is no need to rush forward. We are too far away from the mission, just in case...!"

"What if?" The young man opened his eyes: "What if?"

The man cautiously said: "Tang has a vast land and abundant resources, and talents come forth in large numbers. Their arena is a huge world with countless masters. The noble body of the elder son, if you encounter Tang's top masters, there will be a mistake, and the subordinates cannot Divorce and account."

"If there is no Tang Dynasty, what is the meaning of my trip?" The young man's eyes were shining: "I want to meet a real master. But this way, all the Tang people are vulnerable. This is Which number?"

"Twenty-seven!" The man simply said neatly: "This is the twenty-seventh challenged by the son after entering Tang."

The young man looked up to the west and asked, "How far is it from Tang Capital?"

"According to the current travel speed, you can reach Tangdu within ten days."

The young prince smiled and said: "That is to say, I have ten days to challenge the master of Tang." Without saying much, he turned on his horse, flicked the horse's rein, and galloped towards the direction of the Tang Dynasty imperial capital.

Qin Xiao is also in the suburbs.

Less than twenty miles outside Hangzhou, there is a wasteland. Qin Xiao and Yu Wen Chengchao stand side by side, looking at the little Taoist Zhang Tailing who is not far away. After a while, Zhang Tailing ran away. Come here: "Master, everything is ready, you can light it."

"Brother Qin, what is going on?" Yuwen Chengchao was puzzled, "What are those sacks? Why are they buried under the stone?"

Qin Xiao smiled mysteriously and said: "Don't worry, you will understand everything in a moment." Xiang Zhang Tailing said: "What do you make the fire rope?"

"The outside is soft paper, and the inside is covered with saltpeter powder." Mrs. Zhang

Ling explained: "The saltpeter powder is the easiest to burn, and the soft paper wraps the saltpeter powder, even if it is stuck with water, the fire cord can continue to burn." Not without pride: "This is a method I came up with. Stay far away and light the fuse to ensure your own safety."

"You kid is still clever." Qin Xiao smiled and said to Yuwen Chengchao: "Lord, let's go and have a look."

Yu Wenchengchao looked suspicious and nodded. Zhang Tailing led the two forward and walked to the edge of a pile of rocks. Dozens of stones were piled in a pile. Under the rocks, there were a few sacks buried. A string was drawn from the sack and stretched several meters away.

Yu Wencheng squatted down and picked up the fuse to take a look, and even went up to sniff it, and then said: "There is indeed saltpeter powder inside."

Qin Xiao smiled and led Yuwen Chengchao to the end of the fire rope. Then he took the fire fold in his hand, blew the fire, and handed it to Yuwen Chengchao. Yuwen Chengchao hesitated and knew Qin. Happy meaning, immediately lit the fuse with a fire fold.

"Thorn it!"

The fuse cord will catch on fire, and the snake will spread quickly towards the other side.

"Cover your ears!" Qin Xiao first covered his ears. Yu Wencheng saw Zhang Tailing also covered his ears. Somehow, but Qin Xiao's explanation was correct. He also raised his arms to cover his ears. He saw the fire cord burned by. Soon, I heard a loud "bang" loud noise. Even though he was covering his ears, Yu Wen Chengchao still heard the sound of a huge thunder. His body shook, but he had already seen that the pile of rocks was flying in all directions, like smoke and dust. Floating away like scattered.

Yu Wencheng opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe it.

For a while, Yu Wen Chengchao put down his hand, turned his head to look at Qin Xiao, and saw that Qin Xiao was looking at him with a smile, and said in surprise: "This... is this the trick you said?"

"This is actually not a trick." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "My son, how powerful is it?"

Yuwen Chengchao just wanted to go over and take a look, but after the loud noise, the rocks were flying, and he really didn't dare to get close to the past, and said in horror: "What is in the sack? Then... how did those rocks fly? Up?"

"Fire thunder!" Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The stuff in the sack is called fire thunder, and it bursts open when exposed to fire, like a huge thunder."

Yu Wenchengchao looked horrified, and said: "Fire thunder? Where does this fire thunder come from?"

"It doesn’t matter where it came from before, but in the future, this thunder will belong to us." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Lord son, when you said that the Queen Mother would attack Shuning City, if you put it under the wall The fire and thunder, can they collapse the city wall immediately."

Yuwen Chengchao nodded and said: "If there is enough, with the power of this thunder, the city wall of the county can indeed be collapsed. This is much more powerful than those engineering equipment."

"I’m thinking, if we hit Xiling in the future, wouldn’t the Wutuo’s cavalry be very powerful? We’ll all bury such fire thunder on the ground and lead them into the ambush ground. This fire thunder rang out, do you think Is the Wu Tuo cavalry powerful, or is this fiery fierce?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "One day, I will use this thing to deal with them, let them taste the power of the Tang fiery."

Yuwen Chengchao also smiled and said: "If there are a lot of such fire thunder, it is indeed a big killer against the Wutuo cavalry." He is very smart, knowing that this fire thunder must have something to do with Zhang Tailing, laughed Said: "It seems that your apprentice didn't get it in vain, but you are truly a treasure."
