Chapter 159: The Secret of the Shadow Sword (Part II)

Xiao Rong didn't say much, put the sword in his hand on the table, and did what he had just done again. When the word "shadow" on the sword was tilted, the faces of Zhou Lao and several other experts showed a trace of excitement.

They all knew the legendary story of the Dao Chengying Sword and the Light Sword, and Xiao Rong's current movements were extremely similar to the legendary story. This shows that that legend is very likely to be true, and what Xiao Rong won back this time is likely to be more than just a shadow sword.

"Click!"

Xiao Rong raised his hand sharply, the hilt of the sword flicked away again, Xiao Rong let the surrounding experts move away a little, and then carefully and slowly pulled out the silver-white short sword, under the strong light, this sword was also only a shadow and invisible.

"Quick, quick, close the curtains a few!"

Zhou Lao immediately shouted, and immediately someone closed a few curtains, and the room suddenly darkened a lot, and the short sword drawn from the body of the Chengying Sword gradually revealed its true body.

"According to legend, the Tibetan sword master Kong Zhou has only heard of the name of Hanguang, has not seen Hanguang, after getting the Chengying Sword, by chance, he found that the inscription on the sword 'shadow' word was slightly loose, and there was no response to press hard, so he pulled it out!" Old Zhou's voice rang out, and he stared at the thin sword that had just been drawn out in Li Yang's hand, full of sighs.

"With this pull, I heard only a 'click', and the hilt split into two halves, and a shorter hilt was found inside. Kong Zhou slowly pulled out the sword body inside, and could feel the sword body coming out, but he couldn't see the existence of the sword body, so Kong Zhou touched it with his hand, and a wisp of blood immediately fell to the ground, he just gently handed it out, and he was already injured! ”

Zhou Lao's voice was not high, and everyone listened quietly. Xiao Rong didn't speak, he had also seen what Zhou Lao said in ancient books, this is the twin legend of the Chengying Sword and the Light Sword, according to legend, these two swords are twin brothers.

In addition to the fact that the two swords themselves are together, there are also two swords that have invisibility effects, which is a reason to list them as twin brothers, not that the two swords are exactly the same in appearance.

Zhou Lao paused, and continued: "Later, Kong Zhou took this sword to the dark to see the whole picture clearly, once the light hit the sword body, the sword body could not be seen again, which is almost the same as Chengying. After seeing it, he swung his sword far away, only to feel that the hilt of the sword shook violently, and there was a loud bang, and the wall outside the zhang was actually pierced by the sword qi emitted, and this sword was Hanguang! ”

"This legend is only these, after all, the legend is a bit exaggerated, at least it is unlikely that the sword qi will penetrate the wall, but this sword is the cold light sword!" Zhou Lao sighed heavily and said, "The inscription of this sword is the word Hanguang, and the twin legend is true. ”

A young man in the expert group suddenly asked, "Teacher, there is only one word on this sword, how can you say that it is two words?" ”

Old Zhou raised his head, glanced at the young man lightly, and asked with hatred: "Have you finished reading the "Ancient Classics of Shang and Zhou" that I asked you to read?" ”

The young man was a little stunned and a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "I read some, but the words on it are too difficult to understand, so I can't read it!" ”

"Let you usually study more and always don't listen, and dare to ask these ignorant words at this time!"

Zhou Lao snorted coldly, "Shang and Zhou Ancient Classics" is a classic book in the Forbidden City, this book Zhou Lao can't take home, but there is a photocopy of it in his hand, which has a high research value.

"Xiaoliu, this is indeed two words, this is an ancient font, called the seal body, the two words seem to be together, but in fact it is not the case, these two words are the word Hanguang, don't you think, this is just one word, is it too complicated?"

This young man turned out to be a student of Zhou Lao, and this time he came to observe and learn, and he was taught a lesson by Zhou Lao in front of so many people, and he couldn't get off the stage, and an expert next to him quickly explained, relieved him, and solved everyone's confusion.

"Xie Lu Xie Song Lao, I understand!" The young man nodded respectfully, looked at Zhou Lao with some embarrassment, and said, "Teacher, I must finish reading that book when I go back!" ”

Old Zhou seemed to be thinking about something, ignored him, suddenly sighed, and said, "I finally understand what the legend of Kong Zhou's sword dance is, I see!" ”

Kong Zhou Dancing Sword?

The eyes of the surrounding experts suddenly widened, and immediately, many experts also showed expressions of sudden realization on their faces, Xiao Rong thought about it for a while, and also understood what Zhou Lao meant.

Kong Zhou Dancing Sword is a legend about the Chengying Sword, this legend has always been accompanied by the Chengying Sword, which can be said to be a signature story.

According to legend, at the dawn of the Spring and Autumn Period, Kong Zhou once danced a sword in a pine forest on the outskirts of the country, and the dance was Chengying. In the middle of the two hands is a sword hilt, only the hilt of the sword is missing.

However, there was a faint shadow of a sword on the north wall, but the shadow of the sword only existed for a while, and then disappeared with the onset of day, until dusk, when the sky was getting darker, and in the moment when day and night were intertwined, the shadow of the sword reappeared.

At this time, Kong Zhou danced the Chengying Sword, drew an elegant arc, and suddenly swung towards a tall ancient pine tree next to him. At that time, there were people watching around, and everyone heard a soft sound of 'pop' in their ears, and saw that the body of the tree shook slightly, but there was no change.

Soon after, however, the lush pine canopy collapsed in a gentle southerly wind, flattening the protruding rings of the growth rings, signaling the passage of time. The darker the sky became, the sword returned to nothingness, the ancient twilight closed silently, and there was silence between heaven and earth.

This story has been circulated for a long time, but many people feel very contradictory and don't believe it very much.

First of all, Chengying is an elegant sword, it is rumored that it can't kill people, an ancient sword that can't kill people, can cut Honka, that's just a joke, but with Hanguang it's different, Chengying Sword really can't cut Honka, but Hanguang is unusually sharp, and the coffee table has proved it.

If the story is true, Kong Zhou must have secretly changed the light sword at that time to cut off Honka, because it was black, and both swords had the effect of stealth, and everyone regarded the sword that cut off Honka as a shadow, so there is such a legend and story handed down.

As for whether the truth of the matter is like this, no one knows the way, and you can't go back to more than 2,000 years ago and ask Kong Zhou, right? But this is a very reasonable explanation, at least so that the legend of the Shadow Sword is no longer contradictory. So after Zhou Lao talked about the legend of Kong Zhou's sword dance, everyone immediately understood.
