The warm winter sun made several people in the yard feel very comfortable.

Xie Baoshu sat in the courtyard, holding a book with Su Cha, reading it with relish. The book in Xie Baoshu's hand is "Sword Immortal Spectrum", which is a chronicle that circulates in the streets and alleys, which records the famous sword immortals in Kyushu in the world. What Su Cha was looking at in his hand was the sword spectrum left by Qingyun Sword Immortal in Xie Baoshu's storage fingers.

According to Lu Guogong's words, if you want to be a blockbuster, you must first calm yourself down.

Su Cha's cultivation is not in a hurry for the time being, she has been playing Tai Chi all year round, and the first realm of the three realms of ghosts and immortals can actually break through at any time. It's just that if you want to have a good foundation, you need to temper more. Xie Baoshu himself is not a sword cultivator, he doesn't know the realm of sword immortals, how to temper it.

When he changed his bones back then, he had a drop of Liu Guanshan's blood and a pool of water essence.

So, Xie Baoshu bought this "Sword Immortal Spectrum" from a small stall, just to understand the stories and cultivation methods of sword immortals in the past dynasties. As soon as I opened it, I was deeply attracted by the content inside. Even Su Cha called him to eat, but he didn't want to eat.

In the end, Su Cha also moved a small bench over and read a book with him.

"Sword Immortal Spectrum" is divided into several chapters, some talk about the sword immortals who have passed away, some talk about the sword immortals in Middle-earth Shenzhou, and some talk about the sword immortals in Chang'an City. In short, chapter by chapter, you can turn to wherever you want to look. Roughly, it is divided into two categories, one is classified by time and dynasty. The second is to be classified by region, state and county, and country.

Xie Baoshu looked at it from the beginning, and reading this kind of article is much more interesting than reading those Confucian articles on university questions. No way, Xie Baoshu is such a layman. Because "Sword Immortal Spectrum" is a chronicle, not an official history, most of the records are the legendary stories of Sword Immortals.

Although this book is not recognized by orthodox people, it is the most loved in the eyes of the people.

Throughout the ages, the things that people love to see have not changed much. Legends, myths, as long as you say more mysterious, the more attractive it is. The simplest example, such as the emperors of the past dynasties, as long as they are famous, there is nothing that is not accompanied by visions.

For example, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty back then, history records: when Liu Yuan tasted Daze, dreams and supernatural powers. When the thunder and lightning were obscure, the Grand Duke looked at it, and saw the dragon on it. has a body, and then gave birth to a high ancestor.

As a result, everyone said that Gao Zu was the true son of the dragon, and they all supported him. At that time, the cultivation world was not yet developed, and the name of the true dragon could bluff many people. So this allusion is quite useful, adding a bit of mystery to Gaozu's life experience. If it were now, this trick would definitely not work.

Because the people of Kyushu all know that the real dragon has been cut back to the hidden dragon by an old man. The word real dragon is no longer a symbol of nobility. There are very few people who call the emperor the true dragon emperor, and they all call him the Ninety-Five Supreme. has the same experience as Han Gaozu, as well as Emperor Wen of Sui.

The imperial concubine Lu clan, born in Feng Yi Panruo Temple in June of the seventh year of the Great Unification, was born in Feng Yi Panruo Temple, and the purple gas filled the court. Youni came from Hedong, and said to the emperor: "This place has never been very different, and it should not be in the world." ’

Ni will live in the annex and raise himself. The emperor tried to hug Gao Zu, and suddenly saw the horns of her head coming out, and her body was scaly. The emperor was horrified and fell to the ground. Ni came in from the outside and said: 'I have been shocked by my son, and I have made it too late to win the world.' 'He is a dragon jaw, with five pillars on his forehead, his eyes are outward, and he is called 'king' with text in his hand. Long up and short down, Shen Shen is serious.

I know this nonsense when I hear this, but the people, they still love to eat this set, what can you do.

Xie Baoshu found that there are many such stories on "Sword Immortal Spectrum". For example, the first sword fairy at the beginning is a female sword fairy, Yue Nu.

The name of the Yue girl is Ah Qing, a country girl in the Yue country, a shepherd girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. A melon seed face, long eyelashes and big eyes, fair skin, slender figure, and very beautiful appearance. She is wearing a light green shirt, weak and delicate, her voice is delicate and crisp, her personality is innocent, and her speech is childish.

She was a peerless swordsman who inadvertently practiced when she was shepherding sheep in the mountains, fighting with a white ape.

It is recorded in the "Sword Immortal Spectrum" that when King Yue saw her, he asked, "What is the way of the sword?"

Ah Qing replied, "The way is very small and easy, and the meaning is very quiet and deep. The Tao has a portal, and there is also yin and yang. Open the door and close the door, the yin and the yang are prosperous. Where the way of hand warfare, the spirit of the inner reality, and the external show of peace. Seeing it is like a good woman, and taking it away is like a tiger. The cloth is in the shape of the air, and the gods are in harmony. If the sun is like a rabbit, chasing the shape and shadow, the light is as if, breathing back and forth, not as forbidden by the law, vertical and horizontal, straight and unheard. One person is a hundred, and a hundred people are ten thousand. ”

One person is a hundred, and a hundred people are ten thousand.

This is the beginning of the "Sword Immortal Spectrum", in that dynasty, the monks' exercises are definitely not perfect, and Ah Qing can get this kind of evaluation, ranking first, and deservedly. Her combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of the later Qin Emperor, nor as good as Li Taibai. But her legend, as well as her tragic love story with "Fan Maniac", are enough to put her in first place.

When Xie Baoshu saw this, a shepherd girl had already appeared in her heart, holding a bamboo stick as a sword, innocent and romantic.

No wonder the book sold so well, Xie Baoshu admired the author of the book a little, he wanted to see who wrote the book, so he turned to the title page. I found that the author of this book was named Tingzhong Jianxian, and he was sitting on the bell and drum tower. And in the catalog of "Sword Immortal Spectrum", there is a story about listening to Zhong Jianxian, and he immediately turned it back, ready to take a look.

It turned out that listening to Zhong Jianxian was not the title of one person, but a group of people. When the First Emperor established Great Qin, he felt that it was a pity that millions of sword immortals could not leave a name in history. So he got the name of a sword immortal, called Listen to Zhong Jianxian, and announced it to the world.

Listening to Zhong Jianxian's name, he traveled to Kyushu all his life, did not participate in the struggle, did not care about power, and concentrated on recording the famous sword immortals of the past dynasties. At the most prosperous time, the number of people listening to Zhong Jianxian reached 100. Because there were too many sword immortals in the Great Qin Dynasty, one person couldn't record them at all.

The book in Xie Baoshu's hand is actually a general record, and there are many entries, but he didn't buy it. How can it be possible to record all the millions of sword immortals? Therefore, in this general record, in each generation, only the two most famous ones are recorded.

The largest number of people is the Great Qin Dynasty, which claims to have millions of sword immortals, and they have the most pen and ink.

And listening to Zhong Jianxian, it's not like you can be it if you want to. Because as a role similar to a historian, listening to Zhong Jianxian has to be threatened, but also cannot be selfish. Therefore, it has been passed down from generation to generation, and it has been passed down very carefully. Because they are well aware that they are burdened with a great responsibility, they also take a lot of effort when choosing the inheritance.

The cultivation can not be high, and the talent can not be good, but the mental skills must be correct and the position must be firm.

Once in the history of the Great Sui, there was a famous sword immortal who wanted to let Zhong Jianxian record himself in the general record of "Sword Immortal Spectrum". But listening to Zhong Jianxian, he felt that in the history of the Great Sui, there were more brilliant sword immortals than him, so he was unwilling. As a result, the sword immortal was angry and killed the Jian Xian who listened to Zhong.

Then go to various places to find a few other listening Zhong Jianxian. After killing several more, they were never found again.

Finally, when he died, a listening Zhong Jianxian suddenly jumped out and recorded him in front of him. There was no revenge, and there was no grudge, but this sword immortal was reasonably recorded in the entry. The moment this sword immortal closed his eyes, the sword heart must have collapsed.

After reading this story, Xie Baoshu was full of worship in his heart. Listening to Zhong Jianxian in the past dynasties, they seem to be very handsome. He flipped it down again, ready to continue reading the rest of the story.

At this time, Su Cha on the side suddenly stood up, holding the scroll in his hand, and slowly recited: "Pupil condensation autumn water sword meteor, cut poems for bone jade for gods." Dancing white-clothed cloud guests, life and death are not a matter of light. ”

Xie Baoshu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

Su Cha said with a smile: "Senior Qingyun, this poem is about his." ”

Xie Baoshu hurriedly opened the "Sword Immortal Spectrum" in his hand, and found the name of Qingyun Sword Immortal in the Tang Dynasty. It's just a record column, with only a few words, and it seems that listening to Zhong Jianxian doesn't know much about him. Xie Baoshu hesitated for a moment, and decided to find someone to inquire about Zhong Jianxian's position and tell him about Qingyun's seniors.

This kind of thing, not in a hurry, Xie Baoshu returned to the yard and continued to read.

In second place, it was actually the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty, who won the government.

Xie Baoshu felt that listening to Zhong Jianxian back then, he actually dared to rank Qin Shihuang behind a woman, he was really bold and not afraid of death. He looked at it carefully, only to find that this ranking was set by the First Emperor himself. He himself admired the shepherdesss named Ah Qing very much, so he was willing to rank second.

Seeing this, Xie Baoshu became even more curious about the First Emperor.

Qin Shi Huang is the greatest emperor in Chinese history, and there are many legends about him, among which there are many records and legends about his sword. In some of the current drama bells, the sword of the first emperor Yingzheng is "Tianwen", although this is a sword in art, but its name is also extremely domineering, derived from Qu Yuan's "Tianwen" of Chu during the Warring States Period. But in fact, it is recorded in the history books that Qin Shi Huang has three swords, namely the Tai'a sword, the Lulu sword and the Dingqin sword among the ten famous swords in ancient China.

Tai'a Sword was once the treasure of Chu Town

According to historical records, this sword has not yet become a sword qi and has existed in heaven and earth. It is a mighty sword, and the characteristics of this sword are also in line with the characteristics of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the ages. According to the record of "Sword Immortal Spectrum": His Majesty to the jade of Kunshan, there is an easy-going treasure, the pearl of the bright moon, and the sword of Tai'a.

This sentence shows that even if Qin Shi Huang's sword was not a Tai'a sword, it was obtained and buried in the Qinling Underground Palace.

As for the other sword, the Lulu Sword, it was an ordinary sword. The world may not remember this sword at all, because it is a mortal sword, which has long since turned to dirt and disappeared. The Lulu Sword was the sword of the Qin kings of the past dynasties, and although Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor, he was also the king of Qin, so this sword was his personal sword.

When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, Qin Shi Huang brought this sword.

The last is the sword of Dingqin, which is the sword of Qin Shi Huang who led millions of sword immortals to conquer the world. In order to show his great cause of determining the world with one sword, Qin Shi Huang decided to cast sword inscriptions according to the example and specifications of the gods to protect the sword of the Son of Heaven of Qin. He put the famous swordsmith of the time in charge, using the best materials, and began to forge the sword in May of that year.

Two months, the sword failed, Qin Shi Huang was furious, and ordered him to be killed. I found another one, and from July onwards, I was busy again. Three months later, the sword was still unforged, and it was killed again. Then they looked for sword-makers and iron-struckers, and they hid in fear.

The ministers advised Qin Shi Huang that the king should tell the world's skilled craftsmen that those who forge swords will be rewarded, and those who fail to cast them will not be guilty, otherwise it will backfire. Qin Shi Huang listened to everyone's opinions and posted imperial lists all over the country.

In the early spring of the second year, the two of them came to the palace of the royal city. Qin Shi Huang and the ministers looked at it, one was fat, the other was thin, with crane hair and a childish face, and ten fingers like halberds, living out of the image of Ou Yezi, a famous swordsmith and a cadre hundreds of years ago. Qin Shi Huang hurriedly gave the throne and said, can the two of them cast the sword of the Son of Heaven for the widow?

The fat man said that in order to forge a famous sword, it must be in accordance with the time of day, and spring and autumn are the best in the year. Too hot in summer and too cold in winter will affect the material. In particular, May, commonly known as the "poisonous" month, gathers all kinds of poisonous gases, while July is the "ghost month", which represents the most evil spirits. The two swordsmiths you killed committed these two taboos.

Dry and thin said, in addition to the taboo of solar terms, it also has to be harmonized with the "three dragons", the landslide and the water are dry, the gods are dispatched and the swordsmith who goes to the heavens, all of which are indispensable. Qin Shi Huang said, "It's so difficult, can you two do it?" The two looked at each other and smiled and said, "Please build a platform and build a furnace to worship heaven and earth, and we will cast a sword." Qin Shi Huang took matters into his own hands, and the ministers and the people worked together, and the high platform and sword-casting furnace were built in more than ten days. Then the whole country fasted for three days, and every family burned incense and prayed, and sacrificed to heaven and earth together.

On this day, Qin Shi Huang and his ministers came to the sword-casting furnace early. The two swordsmiths climbed on the high platform, pointed to the sky with their arms, and chanted words in their mouths. In an instant, the sky shook, and in the distance, a high mountain cracked and iron ore appeared, and the surrounding forest was burned into charcoal. Many immortals came from all directions, the rain master rained heavily and sprinkled and swept, the Taiyi cart loaded the ore, and the emperor placed charcoal

, the god of fire holds the furnace to burn the fire, and Lei Gong pulls the blast furnace.

For three days in a row, the ore melted, the iron juice flowed out, and the sword blank appeared in the mold. The gods return to the four directions.

In this way, the Dingqin Immortal Sword was finally completed.

In fact, it stands to reason that the First Emperor should have four swords. Because when the Dingqin Immortal Sword was cast, it was two, not one. One is long, the other is short, just like those two fat and thin craftsmen. But there is a common name, so the world only knows that the First Emperor had three swords.

A Tai'ah is a sword of immortals.

A deer is a sword of the world.

The last two Dingqin are the imperial swords that he conquered the world, swept away Liuhe, and swept the Eight Desolations. It's a pity that the whereabouts of these two swords are unknown. Now the emperor's sword of the Tang Dynasty is the Longquan sword.

After Xie Baoshu finished reading the chapter of the First Emperor, it was already sunset, and time passed so fast. He patted Su Cha's head and said, "I'm hungry, go cook." ”

Su Cha was also obsessed with it, but she still put down the book in her hand and went to cook. At this time, the old man Lu walked in with a bunch of herbs and put them on the table. He looked at Xie Baoshu and said, "These herbs are all used to change the bones of Xiaocha, you remember to tell her." ”

Xie Baoshu nodded and continued to look at the "Sword Immortal Spectrum" in his hand.

The old man Lu knew that Xie Baoshu gave his flying sword and sword raising gourd to Su Cha together. If it was said that when he gave the Qingyun Sword before, this young man could make the old man deer look at it twice, then now, it is no longer as simple as looking at it twice.

He sat next to Xie Baoshu and asked, "Those two fairy swords, and a sword cultivation gourd of excellent grade, don't you feel distressed if you just give them away?"

Xie Baoshu said with a smile: "What's distressed, anyway, I'm all the light of Qingyun's predecessors, isn't it natural to return this thing to Su Cha now?"

The old man smiled slightly and said, "That sword raiser, but your own things, is it worth it?"

Xie Baoshu put down the book in his hand, sat upright, and said: "The things in this world are not worth it. When I was in the Paradise Wonderland, it was miserable, and there was nothing that could be done. Qingyun's predecessors didn't help me in the same way, and finally paid the price of their lives. Do you think he's going to think about whether it's worth it or not?"

Old Man Lu said seriously: "It makes sense. ”

Xie Baoshu looked at the book in his hand and said, "These Sword Immortals who have listened to Zhong for generations, they have been busy all their lives, just to record the information of these Sword Immortals. Do you think, have they, the sword immortals, ever considered the question of whether it is worth it or not?"

Old Man Lu said: "Listening to Zhong Jianxian's lineage, it is indeed worthy of admiration. ”

Xie Baoshu said again: "Many things in this world are not worth it or not, and they can be distinguished. ”

Old Man Lu raised his hand, slapped Xie Baoshu's head, and said, "How can you be like my elder, but it's not your turn to reason with me." I'm sitting here to ask, have you ever thought about the day when you can be among the books?"

There was a pause

, Old Man Lu added: "The premise is that you don't give the sword to Su Cha and keep it for your own use." ”

There is indeed this possibility, no matter how stupid Xie Baoshu is, with two fairy swords, even if the realm is not high in the future, he should have a place in the "Sword Immortal Spectrum". Even if it's not a general record, it's possible.

Xie Baoshu shook his head and said, "Although this book is good, I don't want to record it on it. ”

Old Man Lu frowned and said, "Why?"

The things in the world, the various states of life, are nothing with the passage of time. A hundred years later, who will remember who you are? This "Sword Immortal Spectrum" can be passed down for thousands of years. Even if one day, the entire Tang Dynasty is destroyed, this book may not disappear.

Recorded, but it is the dream of all sword immortals.

Xie Baoshu grinned, held the handle of the evil knife at his waist, and said, "Because I am a swordsman, a swordsman who has no feelings." ”

(End of chapter)
