Chapter 185: Zhan Lu

"I also ask the lord to atone for his sins, and the clay characters used in movable type printing that the lord said have not been successful in burning paper, so they can only have people copy this book first, and then bind it. Please also give me more time, and I will definitely be able to find a way to burn the live mud. Ma Jun said with some guilt.

"It's okay, take your time, don't rush." Zhou Fan said casually. It's no wonder that he Ma Jun, Zhou Fan only knows that the movable type used in movable type printing is best burned out of mud, but how to burn it, and what the proportion is, then only God knows.

It is said that Bi Sheng, the creator of movable type printing, also spent many years of hard work to research, anyway, Zhou Fan is not in a hurry, and now it is enough to have this book of "Book of Rites" in his hand.

"Thank you, my lord!" Ma Jun also breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Zhou Fan would be blamed for this.

"Lord, give Lin a look, give Lin a look!" Chen Lin on the side hurriedly shouted. For those of them who read books, they are naturally curious when they see such a novelty as books.

Zhou Fan smiled and handed the book in his hand to Na Chen Lin. Immediately, Chen Lin and the others took it as if they had found a treasure, and looked through it carefully, for fear of breaking the treasure.

"Why wasn't the lord born a few years earlier!" After turning over for a while, Chen Lin let out a wail.

"Why is that?" Zhou Fan looked dazed.

"If the lord had come up with this book earlier, where would Lin have held such a heavy bamboo slip all day long in the early years!" Chen Lin said depressedly.

Everyone burst out laughing, but most of them nodded in disapproval, obviously they had been pitted by those bamboo slips before.

"Okay, when Deheng gets the movable type printing technology out, I'll give you thousands of copies at that time, so that you can read enough!" Zhou Fan said with a laugh, and then in Chen Lin's reluctant gaze, he took back the book of "Book of Rites".

I'm going to bring this thing to Chengdu myself. Show your dad and your teacher. Books are definitely the favorite things of the children of the family, and they are also the best weapon to break the monopoly of the family's knowledge.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Ma Jun's body, and his eyes were so hot that Ma Jun was numb for a while, and he hurriedly confessed, turned around and ran, which caused everyone to laugh again.

Three days later. The gate of the north city of Nanzheng.

Zhou Fan took Dian Wei, Zhou Feng, Wei Yan, Xun You, as well as fifty tiger cavalry guards and four hundred personal guard battalions, and waited here.

After ten days of rest, the fifty tiger guards were all alive again.

Of course, the fifty-headed tiger Zhou Fan naturally retracted the space. This thing is too windy and too influential, and if you release them, I don't know how many people will be frightened along the way. And if it wasn't necessary, Zhou Fan didn't plan to expose this trump card to the eyes of the world so quickly.

"Slow down, lord!" Just as Zhou Fan was about to set off, there was an urgent cry behind him.

Zhou Fan turned his head to look, but found that it was Nagansu. Suddenly, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

For this gansu, Zhou Fan is also very different now. Although this guy is a little greedy for life and afraid of death, good money. But he is still more faithful. Coupled with the fact that he is diligent and conscientious, he is simply a workaholic, and when it comes to the casting side, he can't stop, and he rarely leaves the foundry room sometimes.

It was precisely because of this that Zhou Fan was a little puzzled about what was going on with him coming in such a hurry now.

"Why did you come in such a hurry!" Zhou Fan asked, but at the same time his eyes were on his hand. I saw this Gansu holding an object in both hands, about six feet long, and the outside was carefully wrapped by a layer of cloth.

"My lord has been very kind to me in the past six months, and he has never looked down on me. I, Gansu, am not an ungrateful person, and now I have something to offer to the Lord. Gan Su said with a serious face, and presented the things in his hand as he spoke.

Seeing that Gan Su's face was solemn, no longer like the previous chatter, Zhou Fan also hurriedly took it. When I lifted the outer layer of cloth, the contents were immediately revealed.

"This is ......" Zhou Fan's pupils shrank, and what appeared in front of him was a sword.

"Lord Qiqi, this is the ancestor Ou Yezi's own hand, the sword of benevolence Zhan Lu!" Gan Su said with a solemn expression.

"Zhan Lu!" Zhou Fan was shocked in his heart. The sword in front of him was actually the legendary Divine Sword Zhan Lu.

This Zhan Lu is the first of the five divine swords cast by Ou Yezi, the sword-casting master in the Spring and Autumn Period, ranking second of the top ten divine swords, only under the legendary Xuanyuan Divine Sword.

According to the Book of Yue Jue, in 496 BC, King Yun often begged Ou Yezi, the world's first sword-casting master, to forge a sword for himself. After Ou Yezi was ordered, he took his wife Zhu and daughter Mo Xie from Minhou and went up the Min River to Zhanlu Mountain, which is 1,230 meters above sea level, where he found the divine iron and holy water needed to forge swords. After Ou Yezi settled here, he set up a furnace on the ground, and it took three years to finally refine it.

This sword is extremely sharp, and it is rumored that after Ou Yezi cast the sword, he split a boulder on the side into two with a sword, which is sharp, and it can be seen that it is general.

And most importantly, this Zhan Lu is definitely not just sharp, it is also a sword of benevolence.

It is rumored that this sword was originally obtained by the king of Yue, and then passed to the king of Yue Goujian, because of the defeat of Goujian, he had no choice but to pay tribute to the king of Wu, but the king of Wu had no way, and the sword of Zhanlu left by itself and flew to the side of the king of Chu, the famous king of the world. Since then, the Zhan Lu sword has become a representative of justice and benevolence, the so-called benevolent invincible, Zhan Lu sword is a sword of benevolence.

Although this legend is a bit fake, the reputation of its Sword of Benevolence is definitely not fake. After the king of Wu, this Zhan Lu disappeared, and it was rumored that when it arrived in the Tang Dynasty, it was obtained by the famous general Xue Rengui, and then passed to the hands of Yue Fei, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty.

And Zhou Fan didn't expect that now this Zhan Lu would actually be in the hands of this Gan Su, and he would give this Zhan Lu to himself.

"Enlightened lord, this sword was found by the ancestors of the family after a lot of hardships, and it has been passed down as a family heirloom. The lord is benevolent and righteous, and he is the lord of the world, only you are qualified to use this Zhanlu, and please don't insult the reputation of Zhanlu! Gansu said.

The general was originally Ou Yezi's son-in-law, and his heirs found this sword, but they were afraid of being robbed of it, so they kept it.

"I will not disgrace the name of this Zhan Lu Rendao." Zhou Fan said solemnly. This Zhan Lu is not just a sharp sword, its significance is more important, with this sword, it represents the name of benevolence and righteousness, which is definitely a treasure that is difficult to change for Zhou Fan.
