Chapter Ninety-Three: The Treasure Is Not Enough
The story is getting more and more interesting.
The Warring States Period is different from the Spring and Autumn Period, our understanding of the Spring and Autumn Period is more about the five kings known as the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, and in the Warring States Period, the personal charm of the king is not as obvious as the Spring and Autumn Period, and this period pays more attention to the overall national strength of the vassal states.
There is no doubt that the most powerful vassal states in the Warring States period were the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, which have been discussed by later generations for thousands of years.
In the story told by Juekong, all the treasures that this person showed Wei Wuji were from the Seven Kingdoms, and these were not treasures in the eyes of ordinary people, but rare treasures that could truly be called the important weapons of the country.
For such a treasure, neither that king was generous enough to let people take it away at will, so how did this person bring it to the capital of Wei?
After feeling our doubts, Juekong did not continue to explain the next story to us, but talked about the treasures that Wei Wuji had seen.
"Among the treasures that the ancestors saw, the most surprising thing for the ancestors was actually a sword, perhaps because the ancestors were too impressed by this sword, so when they described it to future generations, it was far different from other items."
Speaking of this, Juekong suddenly looked at me, his eyes full of deep meaning that I couldn't understand.
"According to the ancestors, the body of this sword is completely wrapped in a pitch-black scabbard, and at first glance you can only see the sword head exposed outside, and this sword head was carefully carved into the shape of a divine bird by a craftsman, and after careful observation, the ancestors found that this divine bird is the legendary Xuanniao."
"At the top of the hilt, as well as the scabbard and the hilt adjacent to the sword, there are several words engraved on each, although these words are engraved with Qin seals, but the ancestors still easily recognize them, and found that these words are 'Mu' and 'Zhen Qin'."
When I heard the pitch-black scabbard, I already felt a trace of familiarity, and after hearing the word Zhen Qin, I stood up suddenly, looked to the side despite interrupting Juekong's speech, and my expression was full of shock after seeing the Mu Gong Zhen Qin Sword that I had put aside at will.
Relatively speaking, the reaction of the crowd was a little slower than mine, and at first, no one actually felt any problems.
But after hearing the word Zhen Qin, although everyone was not as excited as me, they all remembered this sword, and each other's eyes focused on this Mu Gong sword lying quietly on the desk at the same time.
Juekong's description was quite clear, and when we heard this, all of us were not half skeptical, but extremely sure that it was this sword that the mysterious man had shown Wei Wuji in the first place!
It's no wonder that Juekong's expression was so calm after hearing me tell him the story of Qin Mugong, not only did he not have any shock, but his face flashed a hint of understanding, and he told us in a mysterious way that there was a connection between the two stories.
It turned out that in the story that Wei Wuji passed on to future generations, this sword of suppressing the national fortunes of the Qin State had already been mentioned!
Although he was interrupted by my sudden action before he could finish his words, he could fully understand my current feelings, so he did not show any dissatisfaction, but spoke softly to me.
"Han Chuan's donor, don't be impatient, the story of the poor monk has just begun."
Although my heart was shocked and puzzled at the moment, Juekong's voice seemed to have a magical power, and after hearing his voice, my emotions really slowly calmed down.
Seeing Juekong's expression, which was still as calm as water, I suddenly realized that he knew far more things than I had imagined.
Since ancient times, many things that have been recorded on paper have been lost over time due to the many migrations of people, and because of this, many confidential things have been passed down from father to son, from son to grandchild, and from generation to generation without being left in writing.
And the story that Juekong is mentioning now, since it is so important, it will definitely be passed down from generation to generation, and there will be no omission, since Juekong is a descendant of Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, so he must know a lot of things that we don't know.
In other words, in his story today, perhaps many of my questions will be answered satisfactorily.
Thinking of this, I forcibly endured the churning emotions in my heart, controlled myself to sit down again, and said to Juekong in a calm tone as much as possible.
"It's abrupt, and I ask the master to continue to tell this story, in order to solve the doubts in my heart."
Although Juekong didn't look as old as Xinyan, at this moment, he looked at me like an elder who was kind and seductive, and his tone was soft.
"Donor, the poor monk just said, since he is a fellow traveler, there is no need to be so polite between the mouths, the poor monk has decided to tell the truth about this matter, then the donor will calm down and listen to the poor monk finish this story."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the legendary Zhenqin Sword again, and then turned around, and continued to tell the story we didn't finish just now.
"The ancestors were born in the royal family, because they have seen a lot of treasures since childhood, so they are naturally already people who know treasures, after the initial shock, the ancestors carefully distinguish these treasures one by one, but they are even more shocked to find that these treasures brought by this person are genuine, and none of them are imitated."
"And after discovering that these are genuine products, the ancestor's expression became even more complicated, and after thinking about it and not getting a reasonable explanation, the ancestor seriously inquired about the true identity of this person."
"In this opening, the ancestor's tone was far less casual than the original, but extremely respectful, because the ancestor knew that no matter what the identity of this person was, just because he could bring these supreme treasures, he was even enough to call on all the vassal states to attack the Wei state at the same time."
"In the face of the ancestor's inquiry, this man did not answer much, he only brought it in vague words, but he told the ancestor that if the ancestor could meet his request, then he would tell the ancestor the truth about everything."
Speaking of this, Juekong's tone finally changed, and he looked at the north again, with a faint pride in his tone, and in this pride, there was a trace of deep emotion.
"Under the inquiry of the ancestors, this person finally told the ancestors seriously that the so-called treasure is not as good as people, no matter what kind of rare treasures, in fact, in the end they are far from human beings themselves, and the ancestors themselves are the next treasures that this person is painstakingly looking for!"
