Chapter 25
"Xiao Ke, you came just in time. I also have something new for you to see."
Pei Shu got up from the dusty workbench, took off a pair of thick leather gloves, and strode forward.
He has been engaged in the casting of puppet armors for many years, and he has developed vigorous and strong muscles through repeated trials and tribulations. Although his body is strong, his face is quite handsome and handsome. Kong Wu's strength is somewhat scholarly, but he does not have a certain charm. .
Ling Ke's smile didn't change, and she was about to say something when Pei Shu took her by the wrist and walked towards the inner room.
His palms were wide and rough, and extremely hot.Ling Ke instinctively wanted to break free, but when he thought about his obsession with casting, he was very excited at this moment. If he made a rash move, he might make him unhappy, so he still pressed the button in the end.
Not far from the stone platform is the casting furnace. The scorching air waves are accompanied by the dancing sparks, and the room temperature also rises.
Pei Shu didn't realize it, put on the leather gloves again, took out a broken wind crossbow from the side of the stove, and placed it on the stone platform.
"This is... the Broken Wind Crossbow?" Ling Ke showed a puzzled expression, "Didn't you develop it earlier?"
"You don't know about this," Pei Shu smiled, and turned the crossbow/body over, and several deep blood/grooves appeared in front of him, "This thing is different from the broken wind crossbow you have seen before. , is an improved version, I call it 'Breaking Wind Lianzhu Crossbow', just watch."
As he spoke, he picked up a crossbow/arrow from the quiver at hand, and inserted it into the blood/slot.I saw that the crossbow/arrow was several times thicker than before, and the body of the arrow also appeared uneven, as if it contained terrifying power.
Pei Shu took a deep breath, and turned the crossbow/arrow to face the end of the stone room, where the human-shaped wooden targets used for daily practice by the disciples in the pavilion were placed.
With his index finger hooked on the firing mechanism of the Broken Crossbow, he squinted his eyes, then suddenly let go and retreated, and the arrow cluster shot out like a shooting star chasing the moon!
It was too late, but it was so fast, the moment the crossbow/arrow was shot, it suddenly split into five parts, covering the human-shaped target from all directions.The sound of piercing was endless, and the wooden target was quickly pierced by the arrow point as easily as cutting tofu.
Before Ling Ke had time to admire the ingenious design of the splitting of the arrows, the tips of the five crossbows/arrows exploded with a bang, and the fiery flames swept across the human-shaped target in an instant. In just a moment, the raging fire devoured it.
"The power of this arrow is so terrifying..." She couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"That's natural. After improving the bowstring, the speed and strength of the Pofeng Lianzhu crossbow have been greatly improved. It can split and scatter when it is launched, sealing the enemy's escape route. When it touches the target, the arrow is sealed. The fire/powder will then burst out in a concentrated manner, which cannot be resisted by ordinary armor."
"Similarly, fire/powder can be used not only as a sharp weapon to hurt people, but also as a booster for bows and arrows." Pei Shu smiled and shrugged his shoulders with color, "If the poison is quenched in the arrow, you can use the power of the explosion to destroy the poison Inject it into someone else's body, at that time Hua Tuo will be reincarnated, and it may be difficult to save."
Ling Ke was silent, and raised his eyes for a long time, his expression was so serious that water was almost dripping:
"Do you still remember what I told you earlier? Weapons are not good or evil, but if they are used by people with evil intentions, they will cause endless harm... Pei Shu, Xuanxiao Pavilion is no longer a monolith. Xuan Ming and the others are seriously injured, and if you continue to strengthen the power of the Breaking Wind Crossbow, aren't you afraid of causing disaster in the future?"
Putting the lianju crossbow in his hand carefully, Pei Shu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, but changed the topic:
"...Then Xiao Ke, in your opinion, what do people like us who are obsessed with puppetry desire most in their hearts?"
Before Ling Ke could answer, he gave a wry smile and said harshly:
"Naturally you don't know... People in Jianghu put martial arts first, and puppet techniques are often regarded as strange skills and ingenuity. In addition, raw materials are scarce and hard to come by. In the eyes of others, they may be regarded as inferior existences."
"And since I joined Xuanxiao Pavilion, Lord Tianwu has relied heavily on puppet mechas, and the supply of materials is endless. I was able to develop a series of puppet mechas, which is inseparable from their full support... If you turn against me at this time , how can I be worthy of this kindness?"
"But if this kindness brings disaster to others, how should you deal with yourself?"
Ling Ke shook his head with a sigh, his tone became heavy:
"This matter is a dilemma, Pei Shu, I advise you to weigh the pros and cons... If one day, the matter really deteriorates to the point of no return, I only hope that you and I will not end up facing each other..."
These words can be called heartbreaking, but every word comes from the heart.
Pei Shu stared at her deeply, pursed his lips and remained silent, but slowly curled up the palms hanging by his sides and clenched them into fists.
The continuous autumn rain finally gradually stopped as the cold wave went away.The bright and bright sunshine is shining, and the Jiangnan Water Town, which is dying of the cold wind, can finally take a breather, revealing a little clearness and comfort of warm autumn.
It was a sunny day with no clouds in the sky, Su Xun was depressed in the room for many days, but his physical condition has improved a lot recently, so he proposed to go out for a walk.
Duan Yunyang didn't allow him to go out to catch the wind no matter what, the two were at a stalemate, and in the end they could only decide that Su Xun should relax in the garden, and Duan Yunyang followed closely beside him.
The two were strolling in the courtyard, talking to each other, before they came to a gazebo in the garden without knowing it.
There was a person in the pavilion who was fiddling with something carefully, and took a closer look, it wasn't Yuan Ruozhuo but whoever it was.
Duan Yunyang suddenly felt annoyed at being disturbed, snorted coldly, and said angrily:
"Your boy sees the head and sees the end all day long, so that people can't find it everywhere. What are you doing here now?"
"what……!"
Yuan Ruozhuo was taken aback by the sudden sound behind him, Xizi immediately exclaimed as if holding his heart in his arms, and found that the person who came was his son, so he reluctantly let go: "I don't know who it is, so it's the young master and Su Young master, is your health better?"
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, your improved prescription is very effective, and I'm almost fine now." Su Xun nodded and smiled, and his eyes fell to his hand, "This seems to be a chess game?"
"Young Master Su, you are welcome to call me Ruozhuo," Yuan Ruozhuo scratched his head shyly, pursed his lips and smiled, "This is indeed a chess game. I am very grateful that Brother Ye told me about this a few days ago. Interested, and remembering that there are chess pieces in the gazebo, I thought about fiddling with them by myself.”
Su Bai lightly picked up a chess piece on the stone table with his fingertips, and moved the position a little. Su Xun coughed lightly, and said lightly:
"What Ruozhuo wants to restore should be the 'dragon entering the sea' in the book "Lan Ke Shen Ji", right? The rest of the positions are roughly placed properly, and there is only one grain that is slightly biased. I have moved it back to the original position. Office. Take a look, are there any other mistakes?"
Yuan Ruozhuo's eyes widened suddenly, and he hastily checked out the chess record. Finally, he raised his head, with an expression of admiration on his face: "There is no difference... Mr. Su, you are too good!"
"That's natural, there will be no difference between my people!"
Before Su Xun answered, Duan Yunyang was about to smile with complacency.Naturally, she reached out to wrap her arms around his waist, pulled him into her arms, and then rubbed comfortably on the soft blue hair.
Caught off guard by Duan Yunyang and staggering, Su Xun blushed slightly, but didn't feel annoyed, just brushed away the hand lightly, took a step back and stood still.
He has always been quite resistant to this kind of attention, although he is half-hearted now, he does not appear to be in a bad mood.Seeing this, Duan Yunyang was secretly delighted, and simply took advantage of the victory to pursue, and said enthusiastically:
"Since Ah Xun is well versed in this, why don't we discuss this situation and let this kid open his eyes, how about it?"
Hearing this, Yuan Ruozhuo nodded his head like pounding garlic, clapping his hands hastily in agreement.
Jing Yuhou's superb chess skills are well-known in the Qi military camp. I still remember that Duan Yunyang challenged dozens of Qi players who were good at chess at the age of a weak champion, and he was not defeated in all chess games.
And Mr. Su has a wide range of knowledge, and he is not an ordinary person when he thinks about it, but he doesn't know what kind of sparks can be created between these two tit-for-tat?
"Here, lest others criticize me for not being strong in victory, Ah Xun, you stick to the red side and go first, and I stick to the black side."
Duan Yunyang flicked his hem, Shi Shiran sat down, stretched out his hand as if he had a winning ticket, and delineated the Chu River Han boundary.
Su Xun glanced at him indifferently, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, so he didn't shirk anymore, Zhizi went first.
A war without gunpowder kicked off between the two, Yuan Ruozhuo watched intently from the sidelines.However, with the passage of time, I saw that my young master's confident expression gradually withered, and was gradually replaced by helpless restlessness.
It is clear that the black side is attacking fiercely and making dangerous moves, but it seems that the red side always expects it. Simply throwing the chariot to protect the commander and flying the elephant to cross the river with one hand, smashing his carefully arranged formation into pieces.
This side Duan Yunyang scratched his ears and cheeks, restless, but that side Su Xun was calm and unhurried.When the last piece fell, pushing Black Shogi to a desperate situation, he raised his eyes and said softly:
"Have you enjoyed yourself?"
Duan Yunyang's face turned red, he snorted resentfully, and simply remained silent.
No matter how patient he was, he was brutally abused by Su Xun's soldiers one after another. He didn't know the defeat rounds, and he couldn't help being wronged and resentful in his heart, so he naturally refused to speak out.
Su Xun raised her eyebrows lightly, her black pupils slightly bent, and smiled warmly: "Yun Yang, you don't have to be angry. There are 120 types of rounds in "Ran Ke Shen Ji", of which the red side is the main one, and there are only sporadic cases. With the momentum of harmony, you gave me the opportunity of the red side, and you would have lost the advantage..."
His voice is gentle, which is very useful to Duan Yunyang's ears. The "Yunyang" at the very beginning made him feel distracted, and he didn't care about being unhappy because of defeat.
After comforting Duan Yunyang, Su Xun roughly explained the principles of Lanke Shenji's chess game. Yuan Ruozhuo recorded it in detail by his side, and nodded repeatedly, feeling that he had benefited a lot.
Seeing that the two of them had the intention of letting go, he assisted in clearing up the mess. After finishing the chessboard, he resigned and left, happily going to find Ye Zhiheng to tell what he had seen and heard.
Su and Duan stayed in the pavilion to rest, and when no one was around, Su Xun reached into his sleeve, took out a scroll, and unfolded it in front of Duan Yunyang:
"Yun Yang, would you like to make a bet with me?"
