The Rise of the Horse Monkey Chapter 42: The Bronze Sword Under the Silt
The people of Shatonghai caught it, but the follow-up interrogation work was done in a solid manner, which made him unable to overturn the case. This matter still needs to be done.
Otherwise, it would not be a complicated matter to recur with this guy's influence.
Of course, this is just in case. After all, this guy is busy and showing his true nature in public is already a taboo for Night Walkers. On a certain level, his identity as a "monster" has been finalized.
In this regard, he was already nailed to death.
There are many people who witnessed Sha Tonghai's manifestation of his true nature, including villagers present, police officers who came to handle the case, and a group of colleagues who were invited to "subdue demons and eliminate demons".
Even though these people were traveling with the world, there were still a few people who had never seen the night walker show their true nature, not to mention the villagers and policemen, who were all scared and trembled. Fortunately, Captain Li, who was led by the police, was still calm and composed. Under a series of commands, he quickly controlled the scene and stabilized everyone's emotions.
He first comforted the shocked villagers, and then commanded the people to handcuff Sha Tonghai, who had recovered his body, and then tied him up under our guidance to prevent him from escaping.
Then, Ma Yiao took action and broke the Qi sea in the dantian of Shatonghai.
This place is the key to the Night Walker's condensation of the inner alchemy demon essence. If this place is destroyed, decades of cultivation will be destroyed. No matter how powerful Sha Tonghai is, it may not be ferocious.
When he was doing this, Sha Tonghai woke up from a coma and cursed, but Ma Yiao didn't care. After all, this man committed heinous crimes for his own selfish interests and killed five people in a row. For such a night walker who has entered the evil path, even if he was a "rightist" who always advocated being generous and gentle to the night walker, he would not be in any way left.
Such people have to do, kill, and let them know the lessons, know fear and respect for life.
Otherwise, without rules, wouldn’t this world be in chaos?
When Captain Li persuaded the villagers and the rest of the world to go away, he arranged for the police to report to his superiors, and called the relevant departments (actually the Tianji Department) according to the phone number we provided, the subsequent interrogation work continued.
Captain Li admired Ma Yiao, who solved the case while chatting and laughing, and we were very impressed by us, so we also entrusted us to fully be responsible for the subsequent interrogation work.
Especially after learning that we are training teachers in relevant departments.
He thought we were public leaders, but he didn't know that we were just temporary coaches and did not go deep into the system.
After the matter was finished, he left his hands and ignored it. It was obviously not our style. So Ma Yiao agreed to this matter. After clearing the scene, Sha Tonghai, who was broken and unconscious, woke up again after being hurt.
When Sha Tonghai woke up, the first thing he said was: "You can't open my demon refining ball, right?"
Ma Yiao smiled and said that I was not lying to you. I can indeed unlock your demon refining ball and break the ban, but it takes time to slowly touch and grind it slowly, just like opening a password lock, which requires repeated attempts...
Hearing this, Sha Tonghai sighed immediately, knowing that he had been cheated by Ma Yiao.
If he was a little calmer, the result might not be like this now.
Too urgent, too urgent...
Of course, it was mainly because Ma Yi'ao's "performance" details were done well at that time, which made him feel that the demon refining ball was cracked at any time. At that time, he had no chance to escape.
It is precisely because of this that he has to take a gamble and choose to escape while everyone's attention is not on him, and maybe he can escape from the heavens.
After all, his true nature is a black-scale lizard. If he really lets him enter the water and dive into the bottom of the reservoir, we may not be able to do anything to him.
This guy's plan is closely linked, but it is actually quite powerful.
If we hadn't met us who came to look for the puppy by chance, maybe this would have been done.
When we told him that this matter had been reported to the Tianji Department, the relevant departments of the Night Walker and the practitioner, Sha Tonghai confessed to the crimes he committed and admitted that those who drowned were forcibly dragged into the reservoir and died by him.
The so-called rumor of haunted reservoirs was also spread by him when he found someone to spread it.
Of course, for the ignorant villagers, this matter only needs simple guidance, and he doesn't need to worry about the subsequent development. Such word-of-mouth will only become more and more mysterious and completely detached from reality later.
As for him, he would fabricate an illusion of being absent, wait until he appears again at the critical moment and finalize the conclusion.
Just like what he did before.
Unfortunately, this guy was unable to succeed in the end. Because of his own intelligence, the villagers went to worship other temples and invited other gods when they could not find him. In Sha Tonghai's plan, he actually knew these people. Even if they were invited, there would not be too many changes.
However, he did not expect that the villagers would actually go to Jincheng and invite the Xianming Zhenren from Jintianguan.
After the trial, the case was basically clear, but there was still one last doubt.
Motive for committing the crime.
Why not let the villagers dig the reservoir and get out the silt?
Sha Tonghai seemed to want to hide this, but under Mayiao's means, he didn't last long and told the truth.
Under the mud, there was a sword.
A bronze sword that has been passed down for many years is vaguely engraved on the sword body.
Taia.
The sword was fixed on a stone at the bottom of the reservoir and buried in a large area of mud. This was a secret that only Sha Tonghai knew. He had tried to pull out the sword countless times, but all failed.
The sword has extremely powerful power, as if it has its own consciousness, and has extremely strong repulsive power towards Sha Tonghai, which was born in the Night Walker. Every time he pulls it, it feels like he is thundering, and half of his life is broken.
But the more this happens, the more unwilling Sha Tonghai is.
He felt that it was definitely a fate that he could discover this sword. He had a fate with the mysterious bronze sword, but it only needed some tests.
So in the eight years since he discovered this sword, he tried thirty-six times in total and tried countless methods. Although he would hurt his muscles every time, he never gave up.
In fact, he was able to persevere more time and time, so he believed that in time, he would be able to conquer this sword.
But now the villagers don’t know that the nerve is wrong and actually want to clean up the mud.
Once the mud was cleared out, the bronze sword hidden in the stone and connected to it would appear. At that time, his secret that had been hidden in eight years would be made public.
This is something Sha Tonghai could not bear, so he deliberately tried to murder.
Before this, although Sha Tonghai was actually a night walker, his hands had never been stained with blood.
Obsession.
After hearing Sha Tonghai say this, I feel a little moved.
Sometimes, obsession really kills people.
And the bronze sword hidden in the stone also aroused my interest. This thing is very similar to the stone sword of King Arthur in the British legend. It is connected to the stone layer at the bottom of the lake. It needs to be pulled out by a specific person, and it is very powerful...
When Ma Yiao heard this, his eyes lit up.
I rarely see him in this state and ask in a low voice: "What, have you heard of it?"
Ma Yi'ao looked around. Because the scene was cleared, except for Captain Li and other policemen, there were only three Taoists from Jin Tianguan and puppy left.
Even so, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Have you heard of the top ten famous swords in China?"
Because I was not a person in this industry before, I knew only limited things. After racking my brains, I said, "Gan Jiang, Mo Ye, and the fish intestines..."
I studied science and I was really not very good at history and things like that.
Ma Yiao nodded and said that you guessed it correctly. The so-called ten famous swords refer to Xuanyuan, Zhanlu, Chixiao, Tai'a, Seven-star Longyuan, Gan Jiang, Moye, Yuchang, Chunjun, and Chengying. The records of the ten famous swords are mostly found in ancient books or ancient legends, such as "Records of the Grand Historian", "Yuejue Shu", "Liezi", "Wu Yue Chunqiu", etc., and each sword has corresponding allusions and legends. The Tai'a sword mentioned by this guy is very likely to be Tai'a among the ten famous swords.
In order to avoid confusion in my understanding, Ma Yiao said while using branches to gesture to me on the ground.
I was a little surprised when I heard this, to be honest?
Ma Yiao continued: "It is said that Tai'a sword was made by two famous sword masters in the Warring States Period, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang. The craftsmen believe that this sword has existed long ago, but it is invisible and traceless, but the sword energy has long existed between heaven and earth, just waiting for the opportunity to condense. The heaven, time, place, and people are united, and this sword will be completed. This is a sword of the power of the princes, but it was finally cast in the relatively weak Chu State at that time, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Jin State, the most powerful country at that time.
Jin State attacked Chu, and wanted to take the opportunity to destroy Chu State in the name of a sword. The strength of the two sides was disparate, and Chu State retreated step by step, and most of the cities fell. The country was besieged for several years. When it was about to sink, the King of Chu held the Tai'a Sword and thought that the country was destroyed, but unexpectedly, a massive sword energy shot out. Outside the city, sand and stones flew away, covering the sky and the sun, as if a beast roared in it. The troops of Jin State were in chaos. After a while, the flags and flags bleed thousands of miles away, and the entire army was wiped out..."
Ma Yiao told me about Tai Ajian's past. After hearing this, I couldn't help but say, "Is it fake?"
He laughed and said that legends are legends after all, who can see them today? This sword eventually fell into the hands of Qin Shihuang. "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Li Si" records that "Your Majesty now brings the jade from Kunshan, there is a treasure of easy-goingness, hanging the pearl of the bright moon, and taking the sword of Tai'a". It is unknown whether it was later lost to Xiang Yu, who burned the Afang Palace, or was buried with the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, so whether the sword under the mud in the reservoir was the legendary Tai'a sword, I have to go and see it before I know.
