In the antique collecting circle of Westerners, there is a very popular collection project, that is, antique weapons, such as the ironclad that we can often see on TV, and two-handed swords, and even chain mail are the favorites of Western antique lovers.

Even when Jin Muchen was in New York, he saw a meteor hammer at his companion's house, the kind of meteor hammer covered with iron thorns and connected to an iron handle with a chain.

That peer is specialized in the antique weapons business, and people's business is much better than theirs, every day is people coming and going, many antique weapons lovers will go to his store to go around.

But in the antique circle of Chinese, weapons are regarded as murder weapons, so it has not been very popular, until recent years, the situation has begun to gradually improve, there are a group of Tibetan friends, began to specialize in this ancient weapon, so the collection of antique weapons, in China is gradually popular.

However, because of the late start, coupled with the strong demand for various metal products in the early steelmaking period, this led to the discontinuation of many domestic weapons collections.

Now Tibetan friends in China, the collection of ancient weapons, the most is the Ming and Qing Dynasty soldiers used waist knives, or Pu knives and other weapons, as for the ancient period of the gods, that for many people, it is a legend.

And when it comes to ancient Chinese divine soldiers, the first thing that comes to mind in many people's minds may be the cadre Mo Ye, but it's a pity that these two swords are not genuine in reality. It's a mythical soldier in a mythical story. It doesn't exist in the real world.

But if we talk about the classic weapons of ancient China. There is one name that cannot be bypassed, and that is Yue Wang Sword!

The Yue Wang sword preserved in the modern Xiangbei Provincial Museum and in good condition is a typical representative.

That sword can definitely be said to be a priceless treasure, after thousands of years, when it was discovered, there was not the slightest trace of rust, and after it was excavated from the ground. It's still sharp, a single sword can pierce through several layers of newspaper, and it's not iron, it's just a softer bronze.

The fact that people in ancient times were able to make bronze weapons so far shows that the wisdom of the ancient sages was not something that our younger generations could underestimate.

That sword also represents the pinnacle of forging and smelting technology in ancient China and the Bronze Age, and has been treated as a national treasure since it was unearthed.

With modern money. It's simply immeasurable.

Because that is the pride left by our ancestors to our descendants, you must know that in that era. The ancestors of the Europeans were still playing with mud on the ground.

It may be an exaggeration to say this, after all, people did enter the Iron Age earlier than us, but the hardness of the iron tools they produced at that time, hehe......

The reason why the Yue Wang Sword has left such an important position in the history of weapons in ancient China is not only because of the Yue Wang Goujian Sword unearthed in Xiangbei Province that year!

Another main reason is that in the Wu and Yue generations, the metallurgical industry was very developed, so Wu and Yue made a large number of swords to equip the army.

So that in modern times, especially when it was changed, this kind of sword was found in the generation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in China, because of the large number, so the domestic archaeologists named these swords as the Yue Wang Sword.

And this batch of swords found, although the quality cannot be compared with the Yue Wang Goujian sword found in Xiangbei Province, but they are also very well preserved.

You must know that this is a bronze sword forged more than 2,000 years ago, buried in the ground for so many years, if it was other weapons, it would have already rotted into slag, but these swords can be completely preserved, which shows the development of metallurgical skills in the Wu Yue generation.

And the sword called 'Zhengang' in front of Jin Muchen is even more amazing.

It is said that back then, Goujian, the king of Yue, specially invited Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith at that time, to cast five precious swords for him.

The names of these five swords are Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yugu, and Juque, and they are all rare swords that are as sharp as clay.

Later, Yue was defeated by Wu, and Gou Jian once dedicated the three swords of Zhanlu, Shengxie, and Fish Intestine to King Wu to sue for peace.

But later, King Wu had no way, and the Zhanlu sword actually "went by itself" and arrived in the state of Chu, for which Wu and Chu also made a big fight, and a war broke out.

These are the records in "Wu Yue Chunqiu" and "Yue Jue Shu", of course, what stories such as "going by oneself" behind must be because of some "victors", interpreting history and legends.

Of course, when we look at this story now, we are not looking at the romance and legends in it, but looking at the inscriptions on these five swords.

This shows that these five swords did exist at the beginning, and these five swords were all famous swords at that time, and even two countries were willing to start a war for a sword, which shows the preciousness of these five swords at that time.

It's a pity that these five ancient divine weapons, which are famous in history, have not been preserved, some may have been buried in the ground, corroded and rotten, and some may have been destroyed on the battlefield.

Of course, King Goujian of Yue did not only cast these five swords in his life.

After he defeated the king of Wu and took revenge, he also had eight other swords made, which are also recorded in the "Collected Memories": "Goujian, the king of Yue, made the workers worship the god of Kunwu with white horses and white oxes, and mined gold to cast them into the essence of the eight swords, and a "cover the sun", so that the light and day are dark. Gold, yin also, yin flourishes and yang disappears. The two "cut off the water", and paddled with it, and it was not suitable when it was opened. The three "turn the spirit", refer to the moon, and the toad rabbit is reversed. Four "hanging birds" swam by, touching their blades like cutting off. Five "startled salamanders" are used to penetrate the sea, and whale salamanders are deep. Six "soul destroyers", coerced by the night, do not meet the charm. Seven "but evil", there are charmers who see it. Eight "true gangs", to cut jade and cut gold, such as cutting civil engineering. It is also ...... to respond to the gas of the eight directions."

Of course, this "Collected Memories" is not a professional historical record, but a strange novel written by Wang Jin in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After reading this "Collected Memories", many people do not believe all the things described in this book, but they do not believe all of them, after all, some of the things recorded in this book are really traceable.

And today, Jin Muchen saw this sword that had been recorded in history, the ancient famous sword was really strong!

This discovery, if published, can definitely be said to fill a gap in China's archaeological history.

This sword is not just an antique now, an ancient sword is as simple as that, he at least proves a fact, that is, Yue Wang Goujian, did forge another eight swords back then, but because other swords have not been passed down before, people can't prove that the eight swords recorded in the "Gleaning Notes" are real, but now that there is this real world, it means that at least when Wang Jin wrote this "Gleaning Memories", it was not all nonsense.

This not only fills a gap in the history of archaeology, but also corrects the name of the "Gleaning Notes", you must know that before this sword did not exist, most people thought that the nature of the "Gleaning Memories" was more similar to the gossip of the current roadside society, recording all the wild history, and some gods and demons and monsters.

But now, with this sword to back it up, those archaeologists have to pay attention to this "Collected Memories".

Zhen Nima, I didn't expect that I was originally invited to participate in a building jumping sale, and finally got back an ancient magic weapon, this transaction is really profitable.

If before, most of the Chinese antiques he got his hands could still be valued, but this time it was different, the Zhengang in front of him, this sword, could not be valued at all.

Even the Qianlong sword, which represents the pinnacle of China's cold weapons, cannot be compared with this sword.

The status of this sword is similar to that of the top silk paintings that he got from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, or the British Museum, and they are all top national treasures, which are priceless, and if you really talk about the value, the value of this sword may even be higher than those silk paintings.

After all, its eldest brother, the Yue Wang Goujian sword, is in the museum of Xiangbei Province!

If you have to estimate the price of this sword, then you can say 100 million, and you can say billions, because this sword is too precious.

It not only carries the history of those years, but also the embodiment of the innovation and wisdom of our ancestors.

At least until now, our scientists can only analyze the metal composition in that sword, as for what kind of process people used at that time to create such a one, which can be buried for more than 2,000 years until now, there is no rust at all, and the magic weapon that can be used when picked up has not been able to be clearly understood until now.

Although there are many Yue Wang swords in China, they are collected in the Forbidden City Museum, in the Puhai Museum, in the museums of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and eastern Guangdong.

But the value of the Yue Wang swords they collected was not comparable to the one in Xiangbei Province at all, and it was also incomparable with the Zhengang in front of them.

This one in his hand is really strong, after all, he is the cousin of the Yue Wang Goujian sword in the collection of the Xiangbei Provincial Museum!

It's a pity that the damage is quite serious now, Jin Muchen didn't plan to take him out before repairing, of course, the repair is complete, this is not a problem at all.

However, this night, after this sword was in Fang Bo's hand, he couldn't put it down.

Even when Jin Muchen and Candace woke up the next morning and went to look for Uncle Fang, they only saw Uncle Fang with a tired face, but his spirit was still excited...... (To be continued......)
