Chapter 1621 The unpopular and evil Qimen
Mo Tan’s time in the field of stick spirit was not short, but the harvest was shockingly little. What’s even more frightening is that there was no such thing as harvest. It was only after he left there that he realized...
In other words, during the previous 'chat' between the two, Mo Tan actually felt that he had benefited a lot until he returned to the central area. After thinking about it carefully for a while, I realized that this was not the case at all.
It is true that Zhang Po is a very easy-to-get-together person. Although he looks a little slovenly, his thoughts, wisdom, and reaction speed are top-notch. Not only will he frequently publish some seemingly philosophical and interesting things. Thought-provoking remarks, and also very... well, to put it bluntly, he is very good at chatting, so at least during the communication just now, although Mo Tan felt that something was wrong from time to time, the overall feeling Still very good.
It wasn't until he returned to the central area that he realized the fact that he seemed to have gained nothing from this experience.
Of course, if you include things like 'knowing what virtues the stick soul has and whether it is a boy or a girl', there will definitely be gains, so this lack of gain is mainly reflected in two key points -
First of all , it is about the weapon [Long Yuan Stick] and its usage. In this regard, the only information Mo Tan knows is that the 'Long Yuan Stick' is a stick, and what's more, he learned it from Qian Po. , Zhang Po himself didn’t even mention it!
As for how to use it, in the words of Zhang Po, '[Long Yuan Stick] is very easy to use. I have nothing to teach you now. You might as well use it the way others taught you. It doesn't matter if a gun can be used as a sword or as a knife, and it can save you the trouble of not knowing what to use. In short, you don't need to think too much when you are entangled, a stick can solve a thousand worries.
So to sum it up, Jian Po made a sword strike with his own hands and made Mo Tan feel the style of [Tai Ah]. Qian Po directly gave Mo Tan a lot of basic knowledge and knowledge about spear skills in a targeted manner. Although he didn't talk much about the essence and sword spirit, he taught Mo Tan the three swords that were probably not simple. Killing Soul named Mo Tan the most important basic skills of an assassin through hide and seek. Although Ji Soul had a bad attitude, he did He really taught Mo Tan a skill and gave him the key to enter the path of Shura. Ax Soul pointed out the direction of 'dual-wielding' to Mo Tan through blacksmithing. Although he was more selfish, it was true. The latter has benefited a lot, but the staff soul... In a nutshell, it's 'what have they taught you, just make do with the Longyuan Stick'.
One thing to say, this is indeed a bit excessive. To give an inappropriate example, it is as if Mo Tan wants to write several papers at the same time, and each paper has a mentor in the related field. Under this premise, the ax guide, sword guide, knife guide, etc. all used their own methods to help Mo Tan complete the corresponding paper. Only the stick guide said... The article on my side is easy to say. You learn from each of them to guide you. Just copy some of it, sew it up and it's all done.
Sincerely, even if what he said makes sense, even if the subject he is responsible for is indeed suitable for "gathering the best of hundreds of schools of thought," this statement and approach are still too shameless.
Except for the related aspects of Long Yuan Stick, Zang Po did not do anything that could be called 'advice' to Mo Tan in other aspects. On the contrary, he has been asking Mo Tan about it. All kinds of things he is interested in, such as faith, religion, another world...
Under the control of Zang Po's superb dialogue rhythm, Mo Tan, who has no resistance in the first place, can be said to be It tells everything he knows and helps Zang Po, whose memory is somewhat hazy, to sort out the world view, focusing on the [World of Innocence] and the [Real World] as a supplement. Although it is not particularly in-depth, for example, it combines many religions outside the game with it. The object of belief said it, but it also greatly satisfied the curiosity of Zang Po.
But his understanding of Zang Po himself is limited to the fact that 'like others, he is suspected of traveling through the real world view', 'the main weapon is the Dragon Abyss Staff', and 'belongs to the priesthood in [The Realm of Innocence]' The Templar classification among the personnel does not belong to any sect. These three points are gone.
Aren’t you talking nonsense? ?
Although Mo Tan didn't argue too seriously with Zang Po, he had to admit that the latter was definitely an unparalleled talent in the field of chatting. And if Zang Po's own theory is used, that is, "clergy are good at sophistry and blurring the key points." , then he is definitely a very qualified priest.
"Haha..."
Mo Tan chuckled, and then left the central area where he briefly stayed, and followed the penultimate chain towards the fan as the 'finale' Go to the soul realm.
Obviously, he didn't mind the slippery behavior of Zang Po just now, and the latter probably guessed that he wouldn't mind, so he kept making jokes for so long.
‘Mo’ often deals with people who are countless times more powerful than the stick soul bastard from a first-person perspective, so naturally he won’t feel offended by this kind of thing.
Zang Po could tell at a glance that this half-dragon man was a smart man with both magnanimity and depth, so he acted rogue without any secret.
In the final analysis, the pattern between the two people is there, so they can achieve this level of tacit understanding.
[I always feel that he knows that there is no need to kill Po Shao...]
After sighing like this in his heart, Mo Tan stopped thinking about the stick po, and around him The sense of emptiness also faded away at the same time. The next moment, he was in front of a small building in the middle of a lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
“Welcome, Brother Mo.”
Shan Po, who was sitting cross-legged on a sofa in front of the house, turned to look at Mo Tan, then put down the bamboo slips in his hand, stood up and walked slowly to the latter with a smile: "It seems you didn't wait too long. , how is the harvest?"
Mo Tan also smiled back at Shan Po and summed up succinctly: "I have benefited a lot."
"That's great, after all, you are. us The only chance for us to stop being so confused."
Shan Po clapped his hands happily, and then took out his iron bone fan decorated with gems and printed on a white background from his cuffs, and inserted it neatly. Topic: "Then, let me tell you how to use the Seven Star Fan now."
Mo Tan immediately followed the rhythm, nodded and said: "Okay."
"First of all, you need to know that I am not good at fighting. Whether it is the [Seven Star Fan] or the imitation of the same model in my hand now, it is not so much a weapon as it is something I use for self-protection." Shield type armor', of course, its properties may be slightly more special. ”
Fan. With a snap, he opened the [Seven-Star Fan Imitation Product] in his hand, and his slender index finger gently crossed the fan surface: "For example, this fan has a total of thirty-three places where it can quench poisons and hide objects. , there are sixteen various mechanisms sandwiched together. If most of the methods are not explained systematically, you will It's probably hard to find. For example, there are actually seven short needles hidden in the hidden buckle here, but the loading point is at the tail of the fan, and there is no engine switch. You have to learn the corresponding techniques. Come on, hold the fan, Follow me..."
Just like that, in the next quarter of an hour, Shan Po was free. He personally explained to Mo Tan the forty-nine little tricks he just mentioned that were compressed onto the seven-star fan. He demonstrated each one personally and asked Mo Tan to do it independently, although it was quite troublesome. , but thanks to a good teacher and a quick learner, it took less than twenty minutes to dismantle the entire set.
After thoroughly understanding the various mechanisms in the [Seven Star Fan], Mo Tan's first thought was that the engineering of the character 'Tan Mo' would probably make huge progress in a short period of time, and The lutes and other musical instruments piled in his luggage will most likely be 'renovated'. There is a saying that although Shan Po gave Mo Tan the feeling of being a gentle and elegant young man, but his [Seven Star Fan] was definitely not a serious weapon.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, the "fan" does not exist in traditional martial arts and weapons. It has been a strange weapon from the beginning, and it is not the relatively mainstream strange weapon such as Emei Thorn and Yuanyang Yue. , but it is a relatively unpopular thing among the Qimen weapons.
You know, throughout the ages, no matter in reality or in novels, there is actually only one reason why people use "fans" as weapons, and that is - fashion.
This is not difficult to understand. After all, it is also about restraining stubborn enemies. If you use a butcher knife to kill a group of gangsters, the effect of the picture will definitely not be as good as using a folding fan that is too windy to erase a dozen or two elegantly. Ten necks look good.
Moreover, when traveling in the world, it is inevitable that the good guys will give you nicknames based on their own characteristics. For the same heroine, the name "Princess Iron Fan" is definitely more likable than "Skinned Girl"; "The Young Master is Like a Jade" ] is definitely easier to find than [Blood Hand Human Massacre].
But in terms of actual combat effectiveness, the fan is actually only suitable for bullying, not for fighting.
Why do you say this? Because if one person's overall strength is much stronger than the other, then using a fan to pretend to be cool will naturally create a good story. But if the strength of both parties is similar, using the fan side is better than using the sword and gun. Swords and halberds will definitely suffer big losses.
What if even so, the one playing with the fan wins?
It can only be said that he is a martial arts wizard. Not to mention playing with fans, he can still win even if he plays with toilet spatulas and feather dusters. After all, geniuses and monsters never reason with others.
At that time in the Song Dynasty, there was a song: Tiangang splits water and uses electric light fans to carry around inside and outside the ancient temple. In your free time, you sweep dust to drive away mosquitoes and fan to dispel heat and cold. If you are attacked by robbers, cover your front and back and protect yourself from all sides. With a wave of one hand, the world spins, and the demons run around in fear.
Disregarding the level of this verse in the literary field, but looking at the content, everyone may think that this fan is too stupid, but in fact, this verse is about a Shaolin monk who went down the mountain. Listen, Shaolin monk!
This is not an ordinary Ikkyu-san, it’s the warrior monk Onii-chan! A warrior monk who is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts both internally and externally! Not to mention the fan, even with the rag in his hand, an ordinary robber would be so frightened that he would run away with his head in his arms.
To sum up, although some people do use fans as weapons, and there are even ordinary models and the machete-like plantain model like Princess Iron Fan, this thing is indeed one of the Qimen weapons. An unpopular weapon.
As for Shan Po’s seven-star fan, in Mo Tan’s opinion, it is not only ‘strange’ and ‘unpopular’, but also a bit ‘evil’.
After all, in his opinion, this kind of fan, which has at least ten times more tricks than a multi-functional saber, can only be expressed by the word "evil".
But in the words of Shan Po——
"Actually, they are just some small means of self-protection. After all, you will inevitably make enemies when traveling in the world. If you don't want to die in an unknown situation, you must use as many methods as possible." 'The two words are the same, Shan Po also casually said the word 'walking in the rivers and lakes' There is no logical sentence in [The Boundary of Innocence]. Human and animal harmlessly pointed at the fan in Mo Tan’s hand that is extremely versatile and hides tons of mysteries: “Okay, let’s stop talking about the little mechanisms inside. , let’s take a look at its structure again.”
Already a little surprised. Mo Tan, who was speechless, swallowed his saliva and mechanically looked down at the fan in his hand: "What is the structure?"
"Don't forget its essence, Brother Mo, [Seven Star Fan] It is a shield. No matter what it can do, it must first be a shield."
Shan Po casually took the imitation of the [Seven Star Fan], and then flicked it with his hand. The iron bone fan that was originally unfolded into a half-moon shape suddenly extended outward by a full nine inches, which is nearly thirty inches. Centimeters, plus the original size, its area is already a circle larger than an ordinary small buckler.
Mo Tan, on the other hand, took a breath of cold air in a dignified manner. It was not that he was deliberately exaggerating, but the visual impact of this hand was too great and too unexpected.
You must know that the [Seven-Star Fan] is quite elegant in nature. Although it is a little larger than the ordinary nine-inch and eighteen-square fan, it is only "a little". In theory, it is impossible to follow the It has become so big without relying on common sense of physics.
"Seven layers."
Shan Po did interrupt Mo Tan's thoughts directly, and chuckled: "Each set of fan bones of the Seven Star Fan has seven layers. Haha, I was In fact, he is quite wealthy. Although he is not very powerful, he has good connections and money. Therefore, I often ask familiar and reliable friends to help me collect materials to strengthen this fan, and the fan surface and fan ribs are the key points..."
Mo Tan nodded stiffly and said it directly. Asked: "So?"
"So you can understand that the current [Seven Star Fan] is a set of wonderful mechanisms, and the main components inside can be moved freely."
Fan Po did not beat around the bush, and immediately replied concisely: "It does not A fixed form, you only need to know how to set the fan bones and mechanisms on the fan, and you can design many sets of plans that suit your needs. Of course, you must be able to control it freely. There are complicated changes, but at least in terms of plasticity, I am very confident in this fan."
"Uh..."
"In other words, I think you can. Choose [Seven Star Fan] as the permanent form. You just knew the little mechanism I left on it. Don’t you think it is more convenient than [Ruthless Sword]?”
“Ah...”
