Chapter 0001: Excalibur is born with blood to recognize the Lord
Long Xiao returned home, found a sharpening stone, and prepared to polish the copper sword that he had bought with a dime. However, after half an afternoon, the patina still hasn't been cleared.
Long Xiao couldn't sink a little, found an iron hammer, and struck it on the copper sword fiercely, trying to knock the patina off.
With a fierce force, Long Xiao smashed down the blade of the sword, and the patina disappeared all of a sudden, scattered pieces on the ground, and a small sword with a bright and bright size appeared.
Long Xiao was also happy when he saw it, it turned out that the patina was a cladding, and inside was the sword body, Long Xiao saw it, and couldn't help touching the sword blade with his hand, only to feel a pain that pierced his heart, and the sword blade actually cut his hand, and a drop of blood dripped on the sword blade.
Slowly, seeing that the blood seeped into the inside and disappeared, Xiao Longxiao couldn't help but be curious, endured the pain, and squeezed out a few more drops of blood, dripping on the bright sword blade.
At this time, the sword blade actually emitted a dragon groan, and listening to Long Xiao's ears, it felt both distant and close. When Long Xiao's blood dropped to eleven drops, the blade was no longer absorbed, and the blood rolled to the ground.
Long Xiao was surprised and curious, and he didn't care about the pain in his fingers, so he put the small bronze sword on his palm and pondered it carefully. Suddenly, something even more surprising happened to Long Xiao: the bronze sword slowly became smaller, and finally disappeared into the palm of Long Xiao's hand.
This frightened Xiao Longxiao, looked at his palm repeatedly, and kept groping with his other hand to see if the copper sword had drilled into his flesh, and after thinking about it carefully, he didn't feel any discomfort in his body, so he put his mind at ease.
I just thought it was too strange, the little bronze sword disappeared after absorbing his own blood, and I couldn't help but be surprised and frustrated. After repeatedly checking the ground and finding no trace of the copper sword, Long Xiao said in his heart: Where did this copper sword go?
This bronze sword was bought from the tattered widow Sun at the east end of the village, Long Xiao often went to the widow Sun's dilapidated yard to look for some strange things, that day, Long Xiao accidentally saw this rusty copper sword.
Long Xiao said to Widow Sun: "Auntie, you can sell me this broken copper sword, I will give you 5 cents", the person who was called Aunt by Long Xiao said with a smile: "Little Fourth Son, you are really good at bargaining, you are worthy of being the child of the village party secretary, I will collect this copper sword for 2 cents, you can't let me lose money, right?" ”。
Long Xiao said: "Auntie, I think you are fooling me into a child, this copper sword is rusted like this, and it only sinks in four taels, less than half a catty, is it worth so much?" ”。
Widow Sun smiled and said, "Little Fourth Son, how much are you going to give?" Long Xiao said: "Auntie, I still have 1 cent, if you really don't sell it to me, I really can't do it."
Long Xiao has always wanted to take the little sword, and today he finally encountered it, how could he let it go? But there is really no extra money in his pocket, it is this dime, or the money that Long Xiao's mother bought him a study homework.
The owner who collected the tatters, looking at Long Xiao's innocent face, it didn't seem like he was lying, so he smiled and said: "A dime is a dime, who made you a child of the village party secretary, I sold it to you at a loss."
As soon as Long Xiao heard that the "aunt" could sell him this small bronze sword for a dime, he couldn't help but smile, and hurriedly took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to Widow Sun, and quickly put the small sword into his pocket.
At this time, a little girl next to her said: "Brother Xiao, you spent the money to buy your homework book, and Auntie will beat you if she knows about it."
This little girl is the daughter of Feng Nanshan, a cattle farmer in Xinglongwan Village, who is also 12 years old this year, the same age as Long Xiao, and her birthday is still one day, her name is Fengyun, and she goes to school in the same class as Long Xiao.
Feng Yun's father, Feng Nanshan, nicknamed "Feng Zhuzi", has a very pouting temper. The reason why he raised cattle in the village was because he was a cadre who had been sent down, and it is said that he was of a high rank when he was in office, and because he made a big mistake in the movement, he was sent here to be reformed through labor.
As for what the mistake was, the people in the village didn't know very well, that is, Long Xiao's father knew a little, and it was said that he made a right-leaning mistake.
Feng Nanshan's wife, because she protected Feng Nanshan, refused to report Feng Nanshan's mistakes, was tortured by the rebels to a serious illness, and was not allowed to be treated, and finally died with hatred.
After Feng Nanshan was beaten as a rightist, he was dismissed at home, so he could only bear the burden of being a father and a mother, and later was sent to labor reform, and Feng Nanshan took his two-year-old daughter to this remote Xinglong Bay.
Long Xiao's father was also a soldier, he was shot by the Japanese in the War of Resistance Against Japan, and due to serious injuries, he was discharged from the army and returned to his hometown in the early days of the Liberation War, and failed to go south with the army. Otherwise, if you do it so far, your rank in the army will not be too low.
Later, because Long Xiao's father was easy-going and an old party member, he was appointed by the commune as the branch secretary of Xinglongwan Village, and because of his high prestige, he has been working until now.
Since Feng Nanshan came to the village for labor reform, Long Xiao's father Long Shouyi did not treat Feng Nanshan as a prisoner at all, and has always been called a brother, even Feng Nanshan's daughter mostly eats and lives in Long Xiao's house, just like a family.
Because Long Shouyi is bigger than Feng Nanshan, Feng Nanshan's daughter wants to call Long Xiao's father uncle, and naturally calls Long Xiao's mother "aunt".
At this moment, Long Xiao saw that Feng Yun was blocking himself from buying the little bronze sword he fancied, and he was very unhappy in his heart, his face was stunned, and he scared Feng Yun and said: "Xiao Yun, we both know about this, if you don't say it, I don't say it, how can my mother know?" If you spread the word, if others know about it, it's what you said.
Don't play with me in the future", Feng Yun was scared when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao, I won't say it, don't ignore me in the future." Feng Yun was scared for a reason, because she was a foreigner, and she was still here for labor reform, and the people in the village knew it, especially the children in the village, who were open-mouthed, often called Feng Yun a "little counter-revolutionary", and often bullied her.
However, as long as Long Xiao knows, he will be upset for Xiao Fengyun. Although Long Xiao is not big, but because he is taller than his friends of the same age, especially the size likes to dance with knives and guns, fights are famous, and Long Xiao's father is the village party secretary, no one dares to bully Long Xiao, therefore, Long Xiao has become Xiao Fengyun's protector, and Fengyun has also become Long Xiao's follower.
Long Xiao saw that Fengyun was scared, so he said, "Xiaoyun, you go back first, I'll go to Guandi Temple and then go home."
At this time, the widow Sun who collected the tatters was also afraid that Xiao Longxiao would regret it, and persuaded the two of them to go home quickly, because the small bronze sword he sold to Long Xiao was not purchased by him in strings of four towns at all, but was inspected by her at the edge of an abandoned cemetery.
At that time, cremation had just been practiced, and most of the graves were dug up during the movement, so many bones were scattered on the ground, and the burial goods inside were also looted by the gravediggers.
But most of the looted were gold and silver, and many cultural relics were not recognized and abandoned, and this small bronze sword was dug up in the tomb of a Jinshi who was said to be a former dynasty.
Because of the rust, they all thought it was useless and scattered aside. That's how it was, no matter what it was, even if it was of a little use, it wouldn't be let go, so she picked it up as a piece of broken metal.
Originally, she also picked it up unintentionally, but she didn't expect to be taken by Long Xiao, the child of the branch secretary, and gave a dime, which was her overjoyed. In those days, a man in the prime of life was worth more than a dime a day, less than two cents, and a rusty piece of broken copper she picked up was sold for a dime, and she couldn't help but be complacent, thinking: That is, the children of the branch secretary are not afraid of spending money.
Long Xiao covered the copper sword in his pocket with his hand, and thought to himself: "I have long wanted to have a sword, although this is a little small, but it has small benefits, it can be hidden in the pocket, others can't find it, show it to the master, I also have a sword."
The master in Long Xiao's mouth is an old Taoist priest who lives in the Guandi Temple in the south of the village. The old Taoist priest came down from the Taishan Taoist Temple many years ago, because of the relationship between the four olds, the old Taoist priest could not survive in the Taishan Taoist Temple, so he had to wander around to beg for a living.
After coming to Xinglongwan Village, I saw the topography of Xinglongwan Village, and there was a faint purple gas rising. Lao Dao is a person who is proficient in feng shui, and he can't help but be surprised to see this situation.
According to the feng shui signs here, it is very likely that a big man will appear in a few decades, so the old Taoist priest moved his mind to explore the secrets here, and saw that the people here are pure, so he settled in Xinglongwan Village.
At first, the people in the village were not happy to live in the Guandi Temple. Although it is not allowed to burn incense and kowtow now, the Guan Di Temple still has a very high weight in the hearts of the villagers, and naturally no one wants to disturb Guan Gong and his old man.
Although the old Taoist priest is a foreigner, he still understands the sophistication of human feelings, so the old Taoist priest went to find the village party secretary Long Shouyi, said a lot of good things, and begged Long Shouyi to let him stay. Long Xiao's father, Long Shouyi, saw that the old Taoist priest looked strange and very extraordinary, and listened to the old Taoist priest himself introduce that he knew some medical skills, so he let the old Taoist live in the Guandi Temple.
But later, the old Taoist priest is not only kind, but also Qi Huang art, the villagers have a headache and brain fever small problem, the old Taoist hand to get rid of the disease, the villagers gradually recognized him.
After the old Taoist priest stayed, everyone knew that his surname was Jia, but although the old Taoist priest was a foreigner, he was not taboo about anything, not only eating meat and meat, but also often drinking, so the villagers called him "fake Taoist".
In fact, the "fake Taoist" is called "Youchen", but no one calls him by name, and the villagers of Xinglong Bay, adults and children all call him "fake Taoist", as for what his name is, people forget it.
The reason why Long Xiao called him Master had to start when Long Xiao was 6 years old. When Long Xiao was young, he was frail and sickly, and he often got sick. Just when the old Taoist priest treated Long Xiao, it was the old Taoist who fell in love with Xiao Longxiao.
After the old Taoist priest saw Long Xiao, he carefully observed Long Xiao with his physiognomy, and found that this Long Xiao was very likely to be related to the purple qi of Xinglong Bay, and even, the purple qi rising in Xinglong Bay Village should be on this Long Xiao.
So, the old Taoist priest discussed with Long Xiao's father, Long Shouyi, that he wanted to accept Long Xiao as an apprentice, and asked Long Xiao to learn some fitness skills from him, and by the way, learn some medical skills. Long Xiao's father was an easy-going person, and he was naturally very happy to see that the old Taoist priest was willing to teach his children to learn something, so Long Xiao became the old Taoist's apprentice.
Although the old Taoist priest said to Long Xiao's father that he was teaching some fitness skills, he was actually teaching a profound martial art, and in a few years, Xiao Longxiao was not only physically strong, but also learned a lot of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge.
Long Xiao ran to the Guandi Temple, and happened to meet the old Taoist priest who didn't go out. When Long Xiao saw the old Taoist priest, he shouted: "Master, Master, I bought a copper sword", the old Taoist priest saw that Long Xiao was panting, holding a rusty small copper sword in his hand, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Long Xiao, what kind of treasure did you get, look at you happy?" ”。
When Long Xiao ran closer, the old Taoist priest took the rusty copper sword, looked at it slowly, his face couldn't help but become solemn, and he muttered: "It's really a good thing, is it an old thing?" ”。
In the end, the old Taoist priest put away his gaze and said to Long Xiao with a solemn face: "This thing, at least from the Warring States Period, you don't understand it, but although it is an old object, it is a pity that it is used for ancient decoration, there is no blade, it is just right for you to play with children, but it can't be used for self-defense."
When Lao Longxiao heard it, he didn't seem to understand, but when he heard the sentence that it was a good thing, he was very happy, and he didn't pay attention to the other words.
Lao Dao's words, although Long Xiao didn't take it to heart, but Lao Dao's heart was open, and he saw at a glance that the rusty copper sword was a cultural relic.
Although it is not a very valuable invitation, at least it is a little valuable, but in a blink of an eye, what if it is a national treasure in such an era? At best, it is a child's plaything, but he didn't say this to Long Xiao, and even if he said it, Long Xiao didn't understand it.
So Long Xiao returned home with the bronze sword and pondered it carefully, but he couldn't figure it out after studying it for a long time. In the end, he was beaten with a hammer, and the scene just now happened.
