Chapter 715: The Legend of the Artifact
"Very, very, very powerful magic weapon?" Hearing this, Xiong Mao was stunned: "What kind of magic weapon is that?" ”
"I ask me, who do I ask?" Gu Yue shook his head and said, "My master doesn't know what this thing is, but he does know the origin of this fragment. ”
"What is the origin of the fragment?" Not only Xiong Mao, but Fang Yuan was also quite curious.
"To tell you the truth, Lao Zhang's ancestor is not simple, that is the chef of the Qing court." Gu Yue Jushi explained softly: "However, when the wind and rain were in turmoil at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Lao Zhang Zushang also had some insight and knew that the broken ship of the Qing court was about to sink, so when the Eight-Nation Alliance captured the capital, he quietly broke away from the army and returned to his hometown to avoid the limelight. ”
"According to Lao Zhang, when his ancestor returned to his hometown, he was penniless, and the only thing he carried with him was this metal card that he didn't know the specific purpose of."
Gu Yue said solemnly: "My master's strength is definitely above me. His old man attached great importance to this thing back then, and when he couldn't get it, he repeatedly warned Lao Zhang that this was a rare treasure that needed to be carefully treasured, and it should not be shown lightly. I didn't expect that he actually gave you ......"
"How can I accept such a valuable thing." Fang Yuan hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, I have accepted the bank card, so please bother the monk to return this thing." ”
"It doesn't matter." Gu Yue Jushi smiled: "Actually, I think that if the thing is a whole vessel, then it must be very valuable, but now it is just a fragment, and it is of no great use in his hands." Instead of letting the pearl be dusted, it is better to give it to Master Fang to you. Perhaps your research will be able to figure out what this fragment is really for. ”
"I don't have much research on magic weapons." Fang Yuan shook his head and said, "It's better to give things to the layman." If you concentrate on research, you may be able to restore the whole artifact. ”
"Master Fang, you really don't understand, or are you pretending to be confused." Gu Yue said with a wry smile: "Do you think, with my relationship with Lao Zhang, I know that there is such a thing, can I not borrow it for research?" ”
"Uh......" Fang Yuan was stunned. Then he understood and smiled awkwardly. Come to think of it, the relationship between Guyue and Zhang Enze. It's certainly not a problem to borrow something to study for a while.
"I've been researching for years, but I haven't learned much." Gu Yue Jushi sighed, "The only thing that is certain is that this fragment is covered with a thick aura. However, it may be due to the fact that it is only a fragment. Therefore, the aura is very unstable. Disappear and appear. ”
"Really?" Xiong Mao's eyes lit up and said: "It's just fragments, they all have a thick aura, so how powerful the whole device should be!" ”
"In ancient court weapons, there is nothing bad." Gu Yue Jushi said, it is also a fact.
"Court Artifact?" Fang Yuan picked up the fragment and observed it intently again, and found that there were some simple lines on the fragment, but these lines were not patterned. Naturally, I don't see any clues.
But the ancestor who wants to come to Zhang Enze is not stupid, and it is impossible to take garbage as a treasure. And there is a strong aura in the fragments. It's not their delusion, it can naturally show that the origin of things is extraordinary.
At the right time, Xiong Mao asked: "Layman, the ancestor of Old Zhang, I don't know what this thing is?" If you knew, you would have left a few words, right? ”
"He didn't say it." Gu Yue Jushi shook his head and said, "After bringing the things back, he kept them secret, and until he died, he took them out and passed them on to his son. At that time, he did not explain the origin of the things, but only warned his son that this was a very precious object and needed to be well kept. ”
"It wasn't until the thing was passed into Lao Zhang's hands that my master inadvertently saw it, and I was sure that this was a fragment of a magic weapon."
Gu Yue Jushi sighed: "After that, I borrowed it for a few years to study, although I did not study the origin of this fragment, but the harvest was not small. ”
"How?" Fang Yuan and Xiong Mao were curious.
"First of all, it is certain that the fragment is not really broken, but a complete component, that is, one of the parts of the combination magic weapon." Gu Yue Jushi analyzed: "The craftsmanship of casting this part is also very exquisite. It looks like copper, but in fact it is mixed with precious metals such as gold and silver. ”
"Needless to say, the casting process is after thousands of tempers and repeated forging, so that the metal becomes very tight and delicate, and the flexible sword is difficult to hurt in the slightest."
Between speaking, Gu Yue Jushi wanted to pass the fragment, and with a flick of his fingers, the pleasant sound immediately spread, and the aftersound was very long, and it could even be imprinted in people's minds for a long time.
"Listen to the voice, you can know the superb quality of it, absolutely the quality."
Gu Yue said solemnly: "This is the quality of a top-level magic weapon, but just one part has a casting process that is not inferior to that of a top-level magic weapon, so how powerful should all the parts and components be when combined into a single magic weapon?" ”
"Phew!" Xiong Mao took a breath of cool air, his chest rose and fell, his mood was rippling, and he said in a low voice: "Layman, I seem to understand, you mean to say, this may be ...... Zhenguo artifact? ”
"Hey, hey." Gu Yue Jushi smiled and said nothing, everyone understood that this was the default meaning.
"Zhenguo artifact." Xiong Mao's eyes widened, snatched his hand to pull the fragments, and then stroked it carefully, with a look of intoxication and longing: "Zhenguo artifact, I didn't expect that I would also have a day when I came into contact with Zhenguo artifact!" ”
"Fragments, just fragments." Fang Yuan kindly reminded.
Xiong Mao's movements froze, and he said angrily: "Master Fang, please don't spoil the scenery." ”
"Haha, what Master Fang said is also the truth." Gu Yue Jushi smiled: "It was originally a fragment, and it was not comparable to the real Zhenguo artifact. ”
"Nonsense, of course I know it's no better." Xiong Mao rolled his eyes and said, "If it's a real Zhenguo artifact, it's not my turn to touch and look at it." A small people, how can they have this qualification......"
As soon as he spoke, Xiong Mao pondered, "It seems that the legend may be true. ”
"What legend?" Fang Yuan asked curiously, he was purely from a wild road, and he definitely didn't have a clear understanding of some secret history allusions and anecdotes as Xiong Mao and Gu Yue Jushi.
"Regarding the origin of the Zhenguo artifact, everyone can't say it clearly, and they can't find out the evidence. Anyway, it is recognized that the earliest ballast artifact should have appeared in the Tang Dynasty. ”
Xiong Mao said: "It is said that it is Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who died because of Yang Sui II, in order to protect the eternal foundation of Li Tang Jiangshan, he specially convened the world's Buddhist and Taoist monks, and after more than ten years of research, he finally made a artifact that can suppress the national fortune and stabilize the number of qi. ”
"It is because of the existence of this artifact, even if there are critical situations such as Wu Zetian's usurpation of the throne and the Anshi Rebellion, Li Tang Jiangshan is in turmoil, but he can turn danger into disaster again and again and continue to continue the national ancestry."
Xiong Mao sighed: "Of course, Feng Shui Qi is unpredictable. An artifact that can sustain three hundred years of luck is already a remarkable thing. The dynasty's qi was about to run out, no matter how powerful the artifact was, it could not do anything, and the Tang Dynasty eventually perished. ”
"Later, in the Five Dynasties period, wars raged, and those countries were not so much countries as local armed forces, and naturally they could not cast an artifact to suppress national fortunes. It wasn't until the Northern Song Dynasty barely dominated the world that there was the birth of an artifact. ”
Xiong Mao continued: "However, due to the lack of territory in the Northern Song Dynasty, the luck of the artifact is naturally not strong, and the Guozuo is naturally very short, and it has only lasted for more than a hundred years before the tragedy of the invasion of the Jin soldiers. But the artifact is an artifact after all, it is said that when the city of Kaifeng was broken, someone secretly moved the artifact south, so that the Southern Song Dynasty occupied half of the country and survived......"
"In the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols did not believe in the artifact of the Zhenguo, and completely relied on force to subdue the world, and the country was replaced by the Ming Dynasty in less than a hundred years. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in mud legs, but there are high-ranking people around him, and under Liu Bowen's persuasion, after sweeping the world, he immediately cast an artifact to carry the national fortune. ”
The effect of the artifact was also immediate, and the change of the civil fort almost broke the capital, but miraculously escaped the catastrophe, and it was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that Li Zicheng pulled him off the horse. But even if the Qing soldiers entered the customs later, the small dynasty of the Southern Ming Dynasty still stood firm for decades, surviving in the cracks. ”
Xiong Mao sighed with emotion: "The Qing soldiers entered the customs and seized the world." As we all know, the ancestors of the Qing court, who destroyed the Jin of the Northern Song Dynasty, and now re-entered the Central Plains, they naturally knew how to learn a lesson and hurriedly cast artifacts to control the country's fortune. ”
However, it is said that the artifact of the Qing court was unfortunately lost when the Eight-Nation Alliance broke through the capital. As soon as the artifact was lost, the Qing court's qi immediately fell, and it didn't even have a chance to survive, so it abdicated directly, and the drama of restoration became a joke. ”
Xiong Mao said disdainfully: "The Manchukuo after that, it's just a puppet that can't be put on the table, and it's not worth it." ”
"How can there be such an inside story?" When Fang Yuan heard this, he was naturally skeptical.
"Master Fang, this is a legend." Gu Yue Jushi said with a smile: "In the meantime, it is inevitable that there will be some suspicion of exaggeration, just listen to it, don't be too serious." ”
"That's it, that's it." Xiong Mao himself nodded and agreed: "When my master sued me about this, I listened to it completely as a wild history story, after all, they all said that artifacts and artifacts, but no one has ever seen what an artifact looks like......
Xiong Mao paused for a moment, pointed to the fragment and said, "However, if this is really an artifact part, then the legend has some credibility." In addition, Master Fang, you have made a lot of money. The fragments of the artifact, even if they are of little use, are very rare collectibles, and they are very commemorative. ”
Sometimes, the definition of the value of things is often very vague. For example, the hair and nails of some celebrities, or big stars, are certainly of little value, but some people are willing to pay sky-high prices to buy them.
Of course, the fragments of the artifact are better, let's say they are worthless, there seem to be some of them. It's very precious, but it doesn't have much practical value. To put it bluntly, it is like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it...... (To be continued......)
