Chapter 490: Tai'a
He took the sword from Xiao Ke's hand, held it in his hand, and raised it to the height of his abdomen.
That sword was the heaviest sword Xiao Yu had ever encountered.
On the scabbard, countless fine red and green gems are inlaid, shining under the candlelight of the open flame of Xiwutang.
The complex pattern totem unique to the Miao Jiang royal family, on this scabbard, is paved with these brilliant red and green gems.
On the handle, it is wrapped with fine velvet, which is extremely soft and comfortable to hold in your hand.
In terms of appearance and weight, such a sword, with its exquisite workmanship and magnificence, is obviously more suitable for collection and viewing than for combat.
He took a step back slightly, and opened a distance of one person from Gu Yuqing and Xiao Ke, Xiao Yu held the scabbard in one hand and slowly drew the sword out in the other.
Matching its magnificent appearance, the blade of the sword is not ordinary, not even sharp, but it is afraid that it is not as lethal as a rusty kitchen knife.
It's just surprising that this sword is a broken sword.
The originally long sword body was cut off by the waist.
Seeing that the scabbard of Xiao Yu's sword body was completely separated, Xiao Ke couldn't help but say: "Although the blade of this sword is not sharp, and even a little dull, the iron used to train it is the best pig iron, how can it be cut off at the waist!"
What Xiao Ke said is true, when casting this sword, the material used is the toughest, and in order to highlight the weight, this sword is thicker than all other swords.
The scorching and jumping candle flame reflected on its silver frost-like body, staring at the even fracture at the head of the sword without the slightest crack, Xiao Yu twisted his eyebrows and thought carefully for a moment, and said: "In the whole world, the only thing that can cut it so cleanly and neatly is the one hanging in the father's imperial study!"
Taiah?
She had never seen the power of Tai'a's sword, but she had read about its legend in ancient books.
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin State sent troops to attack Chu, raised the strength of the whole country, and besieged the Chu capital for three years, just to get the treasure of the Chu State: Tai'a Sword.
The world says that the Tai'a sword was forged by Ou Yezi and the two great swordsmen. But the two masters don't think so, they say that the Tai'a sword is the sword of the princes' prestige has long existed, but it is invisible and traceless, but the sword qi has long existed between heaven and earth, just waiting for the opportunity to condense, the time, the place, the people and the three ways are one, and this sword is completed.
Such a sword that gathered the fate of heaven and earth was actually made in the Chu State, and the monarch of the Jin State was naturally displeased and wanted to take it for himself.
However, the reason for seizing the sword is that the root cause is just to use this reason to completely wipe out the Chu State.
The big country uses the strength of the whole country to besiege the small country. There was a huge disparity in troops, and most of the cities of Chu soon fell and the capital was also surrounded by regiments, and it was trapped for three years. The grain and grass in the city are exhausted, the military revolution is gone, and it is in danger.
The Jin State sent an envoy to issue an ultimatum: if the sword is not exchanged again, the city will be captured tomorrow.
The king of Chu was unyielding, and ordered him to go to the city to kill the enemy tomorrow, if the city was broken, he would use this sword to kill himself, and then he would pick up this sword, ride a fast horse to Taihu Lake, sink this sword to the bottom of the lake, and let Tai'a Sword stay in Chu forever.
At dawn the next day, the king of Chu ascended to the top of the city, only to see the soldiers and horses of the Jin State outside the city covering the sky and the sun, and his capital was like a flat boat in the ocean, and it was in danger of being destroyed at any time.
The soldiers and horses of the Jin State began to attack the city, and the shouts were like a tsunami of mountains and a tsunami, and the city was about to be broken.
The king of Chu held his sword in both hands, drew his sword out of its sheath, and drew his sword directly at the enemy.
At the moment when the sharp sword head pointed directly at the Chu army under the city, an incredible and shocking miracle occurred.
A majestic sword qi shot out from Tai'a's body, and the sand and rocks flew outside the city in an instant, covering the sky and the sun, as if there was a fierce beast roaring in it, the soldiers and horses of the Jin State were in chaos, and after a while, the banner was on the ground, bleeding thousands of miles, and the whole army was annihilated.
The whole process, but in the blink of an eye!
Since then, Tai'a Treasure Sword has become famous in the first battle and has been more and more valued by all countries.
It is said that the sword of Tai'a is the sword of the king, and only the real king can have it.
With such a divine sword, Gu Yuqing only regarded it as a mythical story recorded in historical materials, but he didn't want to, but today he heard such words from Xiao Yu's mouth.
The incomparably large sword hanging in His Majesty's imperial study today is actually Tai'ah!
Although she felt unbelievable, she still had a poisonous tongue jade "Heavenly Machine" hanging around her waist that could speak and eat and drink, what was impossible!
Thinking of the description of Tai'a Weili in the historical materials, although it is mythical, it will not reach the sword qi and fly sand and stones, but such a divine object will cut off the thick sword in front of him, I am afraid it is more than enough.
"Although Tai'a is mighty, it can't be said that the one who cuts it off must be Tai'a. Gu Yuqing looked at the half-truncated sword that was raised by Xiao Yu and said, "If it's really too much, doesn't it mean that Your Majesty cut off my father's sword?"
Saying that, Gu Yuqing shook her head, "Impossible." ”
"Of course, it can't be that my father cut off Hou Ye's sword, but what if this sword doesn't belong to Hou Ye? What if the owner of this sword is the same person as the thing in the rosewood box you got in the small garden?"
As he spoke, Xiao Yu's hand holding the scabbard was raised, wanting to erect the scabbard side by side with the body of the broken sword, and put it under the candlelight to take a closer look, but only when the scabbard was about to tilt, a silk handkerchief slipped out of it.
The silk handkerchief is silky and light, and as soon as it comes out of the scabbard, it flutters to the ground.
This sudden thing attracted everyone's attention at the time, making people feel terrified, and before the silk handkerchief fell to the ground, Xiao Ke leaned in, scooped it up, sent it to Gu Yuqing, and handed it over.
The texture of the silk is ice silk, although it is precious, but it is not rare, and now the official eunuchs in Beijing are rich and wealthy, and in the hot summer, basically everyone has one or two in their hands.
The embroidered pattern on it is just a common red plum, and there is no difference.
Only next to the red plum, there is a line of words, the handwriting is strong, the color is scorching, the crimson color is more dazzling than the red of the red plum, and at a glance at the handwriting, Gu Yuqing and Xiao Yu and Xiao Ke are all in unison.
"This is the handwriting of my father (uncle/Hou Ye)!"
The hatred of the country and the family, how can it be eliminated!
The powerful blood characters were written by Gu Zhen one by one.
Gu Yuqing pinched the hand of the silk handkerchief, and couldn't help shaking, what hatred it was, to let his father write such a bloody book on this silk handkerchief.
Whose blood is this silk handkerchief, whose blood is it used to write the blood book?
What exactly happened then.
Does it have anything to do with the rosewood box hidden in her room?
The one who cut off this sword is really the Tai'a in the emperor's imperial study?
The problem is like a torrent, which is surging before and after.
Gu Yuqing looked at Xiao Yu, "If it is really Tai's masterpiece, the emperor must know what happened at that time." Saying that, Gu Yuqing's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "After all, that thing is used to seal the mouth, and it is the thing used by His Majesty!"
