Chapter 704: Extraordinary
"Hmm. Yu Yao replied vaguely. This bag is actually used for stuff - in case something good is dug up.
When responding, Yu Yao suddenly felt that it was a little unauthentic, and if he dug up something good, it would be a bit deceitful. But on second thought, you can't look at it that way.
First of all, it is not a good thing to be in the room, Xiao Ying can be regarded as a favor to the landlord, and she should have gained something. Moreover, there is a risk in this matter, if it is not a good thing that is dug up, but something ominous or even dangerous, Xiao Ying has to bear it, and he has to take the trouble to dispose of it, so the risk and return must also be calculated.
When the two construction workers came out, they looked as usual. Although it took almost a morning.
After a while, Xiao Ying also came out and said to the landlord, "I'm going to deal with it alone now, I bother you to bring two masters to dinner, the money is mine, when you come back, I will direct the master to restore it." ”
The landlord immediately nodded and left with the two masters, and began to ask on the way, learning that the ground had only been dug up to a depth of about one meter, and at the same time, Xiao Ying had burned a piece of talisman paper in the pit. Nothing else.
In fact, burning paper is just Xiao Ying's trickery.
They left, and Yu Yao went in and closed the roller shutter door from the inside.
The pit is not shallow, but the bottom of the pit is still a layer of soil. Because the two workers were instructed to work in the afternoon, the tools were left on site.
"It's almost the same down there, we can't let them do it, so we can only come. Xiao Ying smiled.
Yu Yao didn't talk nonsense, rolled up his sleeves and started drying.
Xiao Ying's judgment was extremely accurate, and the two of them dug down another half foot and touched a hard object. After careful cleaning, it was a stone slab about one meter long and one foot wide.
"Don't move yet. Xiao Ying took out the compass and held his breath.
After a while, Xiao Ying let out a sigh, "No wonder the evil qi is so heavy, below is a golden killing weapon, looking at the size of this bluestone slab, it may be a weapon." ”
Subsequently, Xiao Ying took out the rune pen and paper, drew two talismans with cinnabar, and pasted one on the back wall and one on the ground.
"Hands-on. ”
The slate was lifted to reveal a pit of the same size underneath, and inside was a long oilcloth bag propped up by edges.
"There are also boxes in there. Yu Yao couldn't help but say.
"Hmm. Xiao Ying leaned over and sniffed, feeling that there was nothing abnormal, so he picked up the oilcloth bag.
Xiao Ying took the oilcloth bag to the ground on one side and opened it, and what caught his eye was a rectangular wooden box, this wooden box was made of golden silk nan's gloomy wood, and the shape was very simple. The formation conditions of gloomy wood are special and extremely corrosion-resistant, but judging from the craftsmanship of this box, the age is relatively shallow, and the upper limit is the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.
When I opened the lid of the box, there was an ancient sword lying inside.
It was a bronze sword that did not appear to have any rust.
It is not strange that there is no rust, and it is possible that it has been treated, but it is not difficult to see from Yu Yao's eyesight that this sword has not been treated. At the same time, it is not like the Goujian sword, which has obvious coating or anti-rust means.
That's weird.
What is even more strange is that a sword with no rust has no sense of light, only the primary color of bronze, and the blade of this sword seems to have only a dull arc, not sharp. Without sword light, without sword light, it gives people a lifeless feeling.
"This bronze sword doesn't seem to be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Xiao Ying spoke.
"Much earlier. Yu Yao nodded, "This is the bronze sword of the Shang Dynasty!"
"So early, the earliest bronze sword appeared in the Shang Dynasty, right?" Xiao Ying raised his hand to sense the top of the sword, and after a while, he raised his hand and picked it up, "The evil qi of this sword has been suppressed by my rune paper, you can get started." ”
"You see, the sword resembles a willow leaf, the sword body is short, and the shape of the sword grid, sword handle, and sword head all have typical characteristics of the Shang Dynasty. Yu Yao said, taking a closer look, "However, this sword spine is a bit special. ”
The spine of this bronze sword is a little higher. In addition, the lattice, hilt, and capital of the sword are very regular, and there are no inlays and ornaments.
Xiao Ying simply put the sword on the ground, flipped it with his hand when he put it, and the other side was facing up.
And on this side, the inscription appeared!
The location of the inscription is in the lower part of the sword body, near the sword grid, and it is not the wrong gold or the wrong silver, but it is carved!
At the same time, the carved inscription is not a yin carving, but just like the yang inscription of a seal, with gaps on the four sides and a yang inscription in the middle! In this way, a "small plane" appears at the bottom of the sword body on this side, and the sword spine is interrupted.
Yu Yao's eyes lit up, "It's easy to do it with an inscription!"
However, he was a little too happy because he couldn't recognize the inscription engraved on the sun!
It looks like it, but in some places it feels like it's broken, and if it's only mutilated, it's good to say, and in other places, it seems like there are extra strokes. This even made Yu Yao suspect that the inscription on it might be an ancient script that he had never seen.
The only thing that can be basically determined is that the inscription should be two words.
Xiao Ying couldn't help frowning.
Yu Yao did not give up, and approached with a sword in one hand to investigate. After examining it, he found that the strokes of the inscriptions were not all on a plane, but high and low.
So, Yu Yao touched the inscription with his other hand in detail, hoping to further identify it.
"Hum—"
Just as Yu Yao touched the stroke on it, the sword body suddenly made a low sound!
Yu Yao was taken aback, and the hand he touched immediately withdrew, and the other hand holding the sword almost scattered, but he still caught it after all.
Xiao Ying looked at the two pieces of rune paper pasted, and immediately held the sword body from below with one hand, "There is rune paper, it's okay!"
Yu Yao nodded, "This inscription is a bit strange. ”
"Why don't I come?" Xiao Ying interfaced.
"No, I'll try again!" Yu Yao stabilized his mind and touched the inscription on it again, this time, slightly increasing his strength.
Xiao Ying held it up steadily, concentrating.
This time, from the buzzing sound to the clanging sound, the sound is still not loud, but it continues to lengthen, as if a roar!
As soon as the roar came out, a light and shadow suddenly appeared on the sword body, like a dragon dormant in the river and sea!
The dragon shadow flashed away, but on the entire sword body, there was a light, still the primary color of bronze, but it scattered a clear light as cold as the moon, and the murderous aura was compelling!
At this time, the two pieces of rune paper that Xiao Ying had pasted suddenly made a "thump" sound, as if they might fly off at any time!
"Withdraw!" Xiao Ying snapped.
Yu Yao seemed to be immersed in the sword light, and the hand that pressed the inscription did not withdraw at the first time.
Xiao Ying reacted extremely quickly, and the palm holding the sword body flipped up sharply, grabbed Yu Yao's wrist and lifted it up.
Startled, Yu Yao's other hand holding the hilt of the sword also loosened, and with a "dang long" sound, the sword fell to the ground.
