Chapter 1198: Kunwu Eight Swords
"What's wrong?" Sima Liu's first thought was, is this a high imitation? High imitation of the Ming Dynasty? But if you think about it carefully, it's obviously unlikely that you will give it again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"It's a set. But this set, there shouldn't be only two! If there are only two swords, the shape may be the same or there may be collusion with each other, but the two swords are quite different! ”
Tang Yi said, suddenly patting his head, "Could it be?" ”
Then, Tang Yi carefully looked at the last two words of the inscription. After looking at it for a long time, I still can't be sure, but I understand a little bit in my eyes.
Wen Jia looked at the two swords again, although they had passed more than two thousand years, they still looked very sharp, and the cold light was shining, and then said to Tang Yi, "Listen to what you mean, although I can't be completely sure of the names of these two swords, I know where they come from?" ”
Tang Yi nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, these should be two of the eight famous swords made by King Goujian of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period!" ”
"Could it be the legend of the copper of Kunwu Mountain?" Wen Jia seemed to remember something, "However, I can't remember which eight are exactly." ”
This Kunwu Mountain, not Kunlun Mountain, is the ancient mountain name from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", which records that Kunwu Mountain belongs to the Jishan mountain system, two hundred miles west of Yangshan.
According to the "Collected Memories", there is a lot of red gold under Kunwu Mountain, and the color is like fire. At that time, the Yellow Emperor fought Chi You, Chen Bing in this place, wanted to dig a well to get water, but dug a hundred zhang and did not find a spring, but found that most of the stones in the ground were red, and this stone could be used to smelt copper, and the copper quality was very good. Later, King Goujian of Yue used white horses and white cows to sacrifice to the god of Kunwu Mountain, mined this ore to smelt copper, and supervised the creation of eight famous swords! Tang Yi explained.
"These are all legends, and no one has ever discovered these eight famous swords." Wen Jia said, "However, according to what you said, the color of these two bronze swords is indeed a bit special, and the blue is shining red. ”
"Xu Haijiu has been active in the land of Wu Yue, Gou Jian has also destroyed Wu, the place where Xu Hai is often active is the scope of the land of Yue back then, and it is not strange to be able to get a sword!" Tang Yi nodded suddenly, "Moreover, these two swords should be useful and beneficial to him." ”
"Collecting Memories" is actually a collection of mythological novels, so what is recorded in it may not be true. However, the records of these eight famous swords are very detailed.
First, it is called "occultation of the sun", and if the sword is pointed at the sun, the sun will be dim. According to the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, gold and yin are also, and when yin is prosperous, yang is extinguished. This shows that this "sun covering" has a pure texture and strong gold, so it can rank first among the eight swords.
Second, it is called "breaking the water", which is said to use the sword to cut the water, and the water can be separated.
Third, it is called "turning the spirit", pointing at the moon with a sword, and the moon palace can be reversed.
Fourth, it is called "Hanging Silk", and if a bird passes by and touches the blade of the sword, it will be cut into two parts.
Fifth, it is called the "startled salamander", and if you cross the sea with a sword, the large fish in the sea will avoid diving to the bottom of the sea.
Sixth, it is called "Soul Extermination", and when I take it out at night, I can't meet anything like ghosts and ghosts.
Seventh, it is called "but evil", and the demons and demons will surrender when they see it.
The eighth, named "Zhengang", cuts jade and gold, like chopping melons and vegetables.
These eight famous swords correspond to the qi of the eight directions, so they have their own magical places.
However, since it is a record from ancient mythological novels, even if there are really these eight famous swords, there must be exaggeration. For example, "turning the spirit", referring to the moon and reversing, this does not make sense.
Tang Yi pointed to the last word of the relatively wide sword, "Although I don't know the bird and insect seal, this word is very similar to the word 'water', because water is a pictograph, even if it is a bird and insect seal, the feeling of water can be seen!" ”
"You mean, this is a water cut?" Wen Jia and Sima Liu spoke in unison.
Tang Yi nodded, "Xu Hai is a pirate, he has been active at sea all year round, this 'broken water', even if it is not as magical as the legend, but the psychological comfort is also amazing." So it's highly likely. ”
"Try it!" Wen Jia smiled, "Try the water in the bathtub." ”
"Don't!" Sima Liu hurriedly said, "You also believe this." Metal wet, it's no good thing, this sword is too late to protect, you still let it get wet! ”
"The color of this Kunwu Eight Sword is special, I guess, although it is the same as ordinary bronze when smelting, there must be some special ingredients in the ore, which causes the smelted bronze to be not only hard and sharp, but also difficult to rust." Tang Yidao, "You think, 'Yue Wang Gou Jian Self-Action Sword', there is a layer of anti-rust pattern coating on the surface, but this is not, which means that Yue Wang and the sword caster understand this." ”
Sima Liu looked at Tang Yi, "You don't want to try it too, do you?" ”
Tang Yi said with a smile, "Wen Jia was joking just now, this is something more than two thousand years ago, of course you can't try it randomly." ”
Wen Jia also smiled and patted Sima Liu's shoulder, "Dude, you're too nervous." ”
Sima Liu coughed, "But the hilt of this sword is very long, and if you hold it with both hands, it looks like a bit of a stroke." ”
"And what about this one?" Wen Jiafu picked up another sword that was a little smaller.
You see, the last word seems to have the shape of a fish drawn in it, and the fish is also a pictograph. Among the eight swords, only the 'startled salamander' has fish. Moreover, this is also related to going to sea, so I guess it may be a 'startled salamander'! Tang Yi then analyzed.
"This sword, the tip of the sword is very long, and it is redder, it really feels like a speargun." Wen Jia laughed.
Tang Yi was thoughtful, "Xu Hai got two swords, and they were both two swords that were beneficial to him, it shouldn't be such a coincidence." I'm afraid, he might get all eight! I have read another book of notes on gods and monsters, which continues the statement of "Collecting Relics", saying that these eight swords were cast, and they all had their own aura, and King Yue later secretly built a sword mound, and the eight swords were buried in this mound. Xu Hai, it is very likely that he discovered the sword mound! ”
"You mean to say that he got eight swords and hid them separately?" Sima Liu asked.
"It doesn't have to be hidden, it may be given away, it may be sold. He was a pirate, and he was very interested in these swords, but these two were useful and beneficial to him, so he stayed. ”
Tang Yi continued, "This 'Yuanbao Island' can enter the Wa Kingdom in the north, and return to China in the south, and it is easy to find, and the sword is hidden here, I am afraid that it will leave a way back, whether it is a fiasco in China or expelled by the Wako, you can take the sword from this island, and ask for good fortune to save your life when you are in exile." It's just that he was surrounded and suppressed in the end, and he didn't have time to take it out. ”
"If the other six swords were given away or sold, why haven't there been any clues so far?" Wen Jia groaned.
