My name is Yan Shunlu, and I just came back from my first auction and bought my first lot, a gadget that everyone disdained and almost failed, but my instinct told me that I had to take it, and my instincts proved right in my subsequent discoveries......

When I got home, I couldn't wait to bring out today's harvest, a collection appraisal, and the label of the auction house, etc.

An antique-looking box is actually an antique one, with flannel inside.

Take out the small sword and play with it in your hand, you can't see it clearly when you are far away before, but now you have to take a good look at it in your hand.

Brother Hua said before, if it weren't for the fact that this scabbard is too difficult for a thousand lots, it is still ebony, the size is slightly smaller, but more than ten centimeters, and there are copper gilts, and there are two turquoises embedded in the front and back, turquoise is not valuable, it is purely a decorative role, it seems that the owner has collected it as a handicraft.

Also, the whole sword body is only more than 20 centimeters, and the hilt is only 3 centimeters, which is just right for children to hold and a little smaller for adults. So the whole looks like a shrunken sword. And this obviously does not match, it can be easily seen from the hilt of the sword, it is obviously Han style, not like the later Qing style gorgeous. Therefore, the hilt of the sword is very simple, the design is simple, and the scabbard is gilt and turquoise, which is gorgeous and abnormal, and the style is very different. It should be the scabbard that is attached to the back.

Pull out the sword, the blade of the sword has been opened, take the paper and swipe it gently, the paper has been divided into two. I also took other things and tested them one by one, from fruit to folded newspapers, and found a piece of wood from the head of the bed to cushion the foot of the bed, and I could easily cut off a corner. In the end, I didn't believe in evil and found a No. 5 iron wire, cut it with a sword, or easily cut it, and then saw that the edge of the blade was not rolled, and even the sword body was not scratched. I was overjoyed by this discovery, and aside from the ebony scabbard, the sharpness of the sword alone was worth the ticket price.

The sword body has some beautiful patterns, which are the characteristics of Bailian steel, and the unique pattern formed by repeatedly folding and forging the steel. There is also a blue pattern, which is left after quenching. It can be said that this sword has a high level of craftsmanship, but it is a pity that it is a craft, and if it is a real sword, it will be worth a lot. But then again, if it's a real sword, it's not this price, and the highest auction price of the sword category is more than 70 million, which is Qianlong's sword. Although this is not used by celebrities, the craftsmanship and sharpness are not something I can easily buy.

In short, this little sword is still worth the money if you think about it carefully, and this time it is not a loss.

After all, it is a handicraft, and the practicality is lacking, so I put it back in the box and put it away after playing for a while.

In addition to this small sword, I have a big harvest in this auction. That is, I found that the jade plaque could cause my mental fluctuations, and it was very likely that that would be the solution to my cultivation.

It's just a pity that I didn't take a picture in the end, otherwise I would have been able to practice and feel it at night and verify my conjecture. Since the Atlanteans can cultivate through crystals, why can't I pass through jade? In the legend of our country, jade has a unique energy, and jade nourishes people, and people nourish jade, complementing each other. There is no such statement in other countries, Western countries pay attention to crystal energy, and they believe that crystals have special energy. This can be reflected in Goliath's use of crystals for cultivation, so after I used crystals to cultivate to no avail, I immediately thought of jade. It's just that I didn't feel the fluctuations caused by this energy after turning around the jade shop a few times, so I gave up. The volatility of the jade plaque at today's auction reminded me of this thought.

It's made easy, just find a few more pieces of jade and feel it again to be verified. And I can continue to cultivate without worrying about becoming a dry corpse. It's just that the only thing that struck me as strange was that I didn't have this fluctuation in the jade cup of Goliath in the jade shop.

It doesn't seem to be a big deal, maybe it's the wrong type, jade also has many subdivisions, white jade, green jade, black jade...... Wait a minute. There will always be an answer to find more, at least the direction is right, and if you can't do it in modern times, you can still find ancient jade.

So I settled down and started cultivating again, no matter what Goliath and they did, their way proved not to suit me, at most it was a reference for me, and I still followed the Taoist way.

But just when I entered the meditation and entered the state of cultivation, I had a strange reaction in my spirit, which was different from the fluctuations when I felt the jade plaque, but a kind of resonance, or attraction.

I let go of my mind and carefully perceived that there was no change in the room, if there was anything different, it was the small sword that was sold at today's auction.

I immediately ended my cultivation, took out the small sword from the bedside again, and condensed my thoughts, and sure enough, there was a burst of attraction from the small sword, and even trembled a little in my hand, I don't know if it was my illusion, it seemed to be a roar of joy?

I focused my mind further, and after a moment I felt the strangeness of the sword, as if the sword had come to life with an aura.

Then I got a piece of information in my mind, it was this sword: this sword was called Tianyi, and it was the sword used by Zhang Tianshi in the Han Dynasty. The swordsmith is unknown, and it is forged in 7749 days from meteoric iron and steel. This sword is a success, the essence is shining, the edge is exposed, the sword grid is naturally written below, and the word one or two of the sky is faintly visible, so it is a day. The pattern of the sword body is naturally a talisman, pregnant with infinite spiritual power, and the heavenly master occasionally obtains it, and the exorcism and evil are invincible. The whereabouts of this sword after the Celestial Master's ascension are unknown.

I see, this sword has a name, called Tianyi, I looked sideways, there were a few inconspicuous scratches on the sword, vaguely like two words. I found paper and a pencil, and pasted the paper on the scratches on the sword, and the pencil was carefully scribbled. I don't know if this situation is a coincidence or a human intention, at least this is where the sword got its name.

More importantly, Tianyi is a star name, "Historical Records of Tianguanshu": "The front line is three stars, with the north end, if you see it, it is called Yinde, or it is called Tianyi." Zhang Shoujie justice: "Tianyi and one star, outside the frontier, the god of the emperor, the main battle, knows the good and the bad." If there is light and light, then yin and yang are harmonious, all things are made, and people are auspicious; No, it's the opposite. "Book of Jin Astronomical Chronicles": "Tianyi Star is in the south of the right star of the Purple Palace Gate, the god of the Emperor of Heaven, the main battle man, and the one who knows the good and the bad." "It's very much in line with what the Taoists say.

It seems that my intuition is right, this sword has a great opportunity with me, my cultivation is carried out in a Taoist way, and naturally I have a special sense of Taoist supplies, this sword was also used by the Heavenly Master, since it is a Chinese-style sword, the Heavenly Master has used it and the Heavenly Master has also soared, so the answer is about to come out.

Only the Zhang family was named after the Heavenly Master, the first Heavenly Master appeared in the Han Dynasty, and it is said that there were four people who were enlightened, the first generation to the fourth generation, combined with the system of the sword, it obviously pointed to the first generation of Heavenly Master - Zhang Daoling!

The Heavenly Master Dao created by Zhang Daoling is also known as Zhengyi, Tianyi, Zhengyi, and the two seem to be closely related no matter how you look at them.

Taoism is divided into two factions, one is the righteous one and the other is the whole truth. The Zhengyi faction does not re-practice, but also exorcises demons and demons, draws talismans and recites mantras. And you don't need to be a monk, in simple terms, you can get married and have children. The Quanzhen school pays attention to practice, pays attention to the dual cultivation of life, cultivates sex first and then cultivates life, purifies the heart and has few desires, and only when you see the mind can you return to the truth and finally the right path. Both have the same faith, the Tao!

To put it in detail, one is heavy on the outside, and the other is heavy on the inside. Originally, there was no such distinction, starting from the pure yang real person Lu Dongbin to turn the outer Dan into the inner dan, which is regarded as the true ancestor, and folklore has it that his master Tie Guan Li is the representative of the outer dan. Therefore, the two are just different in their spiritual views, but they are still the same in nature.

The Zhengyi faction has been passed down from generation to generation, and each generation has been valued by the royal family and given a number, until the turmoil has been passed on to sixty-three generations, and the bloodline cannot be examined, and there are many branches of the lineage that are said to be orthodox heirs, but none of them have been unanimously recognized.

My ancestors were rewarded in those turbulent times. I gradually cleared my mind and made a bold judgment that what my ancestor met was Zhang Tianshi, and what he taught was the true lineage. This is not surprising, the Heavenly Master is hereditary from the Zhang family, but it is rumored that the door is wide open, as long as it is not a big traitor, anyone who does evil can go to the Tao.

As for how this Tianyi sword fell from the hands of Zhang Tianshi to the people, I also have a rough guess that the second-generation Tianshi Zhang Heng has reached the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, which coincides with the troubled times, and this sword is too small to look like a sword. Therefore, it was ignored by everyone and left out, but the exquisiteness of the craft made it difficult to give up, so it was handed down. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the scabbard had been lost, and someone made up for it, so there was a combination of the Han sword and the clear sheath. This sword is well preserved, or it is not corroded and clean as new, plus the scabbard factor, it was identified by the auction house as a product of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Did I pick up a leak? I felt a jolt in my heart. You must know that the bronze mirrors of the Tang Dynasty have been listed as national cultural relics, except for individual items that have been inherited in an orderly manner, they are no longer allowed to circulate, whether they are bought or sold, and the Song Dynasty is even more rare and abnormal, and it is rare to see.

As for the other functions of the Tianyi Sword, I still need to slowly explore and unravel the mystery.

What bothers me the most now is why a piece of information about this little sword is coming to my head? I just tried to sense this Tianyi Sword by concentrating my mind just now, and I knew this information inexplicably. The one who had this feeling before was Goliath, who sent things directly into my mind and was forced to receive some information, and it was the first time I had taken the initiative to get it.

Anyway, this time I picked up a big leak, and tomorrow I also have a preliminary idea, looking for jade! At least to solve my cultivation problems, now even if I don't continue to cultivate, the developed brain daily energy consumption is also good, through food to make up for the intake in Goliath's words is far lower than the normal need, the professional vocabulary is called the conversion rate is too low.

However, I still underestimated the magic and subtlety of this Tianyi sword~
