Chapter 978: Seven Star Dragon Abyss

In the center of the sword body, there are two large seals engraved, the handwriting is clear, square, and it is the word "Longyuan". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Combined with the Big Dipper mark on the hilt of the sword, Huo Sining had already vaguely understood the origin of this bronze heavy sword.

Thinking of the various legends of this sword, Huo Sining almost without thinking pulled a hair from his head and blew it towards the blade of the sword.

But in the snap of a finger, a strand of hair broke in two.

Huo Sining still did not believe in evil, rummaged through her storage ring, found an iron rod, took the sword and slashed at the iron rod.

"Click!"

The sword light flashed, and a tough iron rod as thick as a little thumb was like tofu, which was directly cut into two pieces by the sword qi, and the fracture was smooth and flat, almost effortless.

At this moment, seeing the performance of this sword, Huo Sining had completely confirmed his guess.

Even though she has scooped up a lot of antique objects and seen a lot of the world, Huo Sining never thought that there is really a sword in this world like the one described in martial arts novels, "blowing hair and breaking hair, sharpening iron like clay", but now, she actually got one by mistake, and more importantly, this sword has an extraordinary name.

In the history of Chinese civilization, there was a very glorious history of bronzes, and ancient craftsmen accumulated wisdom and skills, and their favorite was to depict and paint on bronzes.

The value of bronze artifacts lies not only in the artifacts themselves, but also in the inscriptions carved on them.

Normally, the more inscriptions there are on the same bronze such as the three-legged tripod, the greater the value.

In terms of inscription craftsmanship, there is a fine craft known as gold and silver faults, like a gorgeous sunset, which shines on the entire Bronze Age.

The so-called gold and silver mistake, that is, the use of gold and silver wire on the surface of the bronze inlaid into a pattern or text, in the inscription, is undoubtedly the most valuable one, this technology, in the Spring and Autumn Period has reached a very high level, its artistic value and craft level, enough to reflect the superior wisdom of the ancient craftsmen.

The sword in Huo Sining's hand, the two words on the sword body that emitted a trace of golden light, were used in the wrong gold inscription.

Huo Sining originally thought that the so-called wrong gold, just like the current handicrafts, was engraved on the surface in advance, then filled with gold wire, cooled and trimmed, but when she stretched out her hand and touched the two wrong gold inscriptions, she found that she seemed to be wrong.

These two words are embedded in the bronze, and the sword body is smooth when touched, as if it is natural, and there is no trace of inlay at all, which is definitely not filled and trimmed in the later stage.

Huo Sining couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no wonder that until today, thousands of years later, the technology of gold and silver mistakes is still talked about by some modern bronze experts and enthusiasts. In ancient times, without the assistance of any high-tech facilities, it was really admirable that such exquisite objects could be made by hand.

Looking at the shining word "Long Yuan" on the sword, Huo Sining sighed involuntarily.

Speaking of the top ten famous swords in ancient China, I am afraid that many people can say one or two of them, but if you want to count the names of each sword, I am afraid it is not so simple.

Of course, there are many famous swords in Chinese history and legends, and in fact, no history books have ranked them, and the ranking of these top ten famous swords is just a saying written and spread by the people.

In the history of China, the most widely spread rankings, from the tenth to the first, are Chengying Sword, Chunjun Sword, Fish Intestine Sword, Mo Evil Sword, Ganjiang Sword, Longquan Sword, Tai'a Sword, Chixiao Sword, Zhanlu Sword, and Xuanyuan Sword.

And since the top ten famous swords are mentioned, there is one person who has to be mentioned, and that is Ou Yezi.

Ou Yezi was a native of Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the originator of ancient sword casting, and the founder of Longquan Sword and Zhanlu Sword.

A series of famous bronze swords cast by Ou Yezi are the best in China. In the war for hegemony between the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, it showed infinite power and breathtaking artistic charm.

Ou Yezi once forged five swords for Goujian, the king of Yue, Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Yugu, and Chunjun, and three famous swords for the king of Chu Zhao, Longquan, Tai'a, and Gongbu.

Among these swords, five of them have been selected as the top ten famous swords in China, which shows Ou Yezi's achievements and superb skills in bronze sword casting.

Among these ten famous swords, one sword that has to be mentioned is the Longquan Sword.

Legend Ou Yezi for the casting of this sword, chisel the Ci Mountain, release the mountain stream, lead to the sword furnace next to the Big Dipper seven stars in the seven pools, is the name of the "seven stars"; after the sword is completed, look down on the sword body, as if climbing the high mountain and looking down at the abyss, ethereal and deep as if there is a giant dragon lying down, is the name "Dragon Yuan". Therefore, the name of this sword is called "Seven Star Longyuan", referred to as Longyuan Sword.

In the Tang Dynasty, because of the avoidance of Gaozu Li Yuan, the word "Yuan" was changed to the word "Quan", which was called "Seven Star Dragon Spring", referred to as Longquan Sword.

Of course, this is just a legend, and later generations have imitated many Longquan swords according to these legends, but no one can imitate the eleventh and twelfth of the Longquan Sword, because no one can fully describe what the real Longquan Sword looks like.

However, when the patina was completely removed and the purple qi shrouded in the sword body broke through the sword, Huo Sining discovered that the purple aura contained in this sword body was even stronger than the purple qi contained in any antique she had been exposed to in more than a year.

Wrong gold ancient seal, sharp blade, coupled with this thick purple qi, holding this sword that exudes cold sword intent, Huo Sining has a very strong intuition, this sword is very likely to be the legendary sad Seven Star Dragon Yuan.

Of course, before getting a positive answer, Huo Sining could only think in his heart, in this regard, Zhou Shitao is an authority, when the Yue King Goujian sword was unearthed from the Chu Tomb of No. 5 Mashan, Jiangling, Northern Hubei Province, Zhou Shitao was at the scene, he should be very familiar with Ou Yezi's sword.

Huo Sining didn't delay, tied the sword back with an old T-shirt, and hurriedly took a taxi to Zhou's house.

When he arrived at Zhou's house, before he entered the door, Huo Sining collided with Ji Kun and another old man who came out on-demand.

"Senior sister, have you come back from Dongyang?" Seeing Huo Sining, Ji Kun was very happy.

Huo Sining nodded: "Come back and do something, and leave tomorrow." ”

Huo Sining said hello to Ji Kun, looked up at the old man, and felt a little familiar, but Zhou Shitao often had people from the circle come over to communicate, so Huo Sining didn't care.

However, the old man was a little surprised when he saw Huo Sining, and then glanced at the tattered strip of cloth in Huo Sining's hand, and suddenly looked at Ji Kun with a smile: "It looks like Miss Huo should have found something good again, why don't you go in and have a look together?" )
