Chapter 22: Sword Forging

Suddenly, seeing these two ever-bright lights, the mood seems to be a little different, and there is no such horror in the dark passage, but instead of a sudden enlightenment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

We followed the tomb into one of the stone rooms, and there were a few ancient swords thrown in it, but they all kept the appearance of the ancient swords after they turned to ashes, and the three fat men walked a little quieter, regardless of the wind that crossed their trouser legs, and the ashes were blown away.

Seeing the masterpieces of my ancestors dissipate like this, I still feel some feelings in my own heart, and suddenly I think of my grandfather in the underground of my hometown, who worked hard for most of his life and ended up in such a painful end. If I say something unpleasant, I'd rather my grandfather actually died three years ago than suffer like that.

Maybe many years later, I will be like my grandfather, because of the strange fight and become unable to be myself, but I still don't want to live like that, maybe grandpa doesn't want to do this, or maybe suddenly one day he will recover, but that's all unexpected.

The three fat men saw me in a daze, so they kicked me and said, "Yo, big pillar, you have learned to be in a daze." How? Miss that girl, tell me about the fat grandpa. ”

Every time I feel that his cheekiness is about to reach the limit, he will want to refresh it again, not now to the state of being able to estrus anytime, anywhere, regardless of the occasion, so that I was also taken astray by him, so I replied casually: "Yes, yes, I'm thinking about my cuihua." ”

People who have a little thinking ability can hear that this kind of prevarication is perfunctory later, but the three fat people are the few people who have no thinking ability. Because as soon as I finished speaking, he said: "Cuihua, as soon as I heard it, it is the collective name of the majority of women compatriots, yes, Dazhu, they have all learned to cast nets and catch fish." ”

I replied, "Yes, yes......" The three fat men and I walked into the second stone room during this boring discussion, and I didn't know how Wu Ming and the little brother in black who listened to us felt.

The items placed here in the second stone room were not ancient swords that had turned to ashes, but stone hammers that had turned to ashes, scattered randomly in the corners of the walls, and nothing else.

We walked to the third stone room, where there was a model of a sword, and the inside of the model was covered with patterns, which I thought had been engraved first.

This situation is very confusing, and it is customary to place things in the stone chambers of the main burial chamber that should be important to the head of the tomb, but in these three stone chambers are objects that we consider to be insignificant. When I walked to the fourth stone room, it was even more strange. There is nothing in the stone room, but there are two ancient swords painted on the wall, one of which is black, it should be made of copper and tin, it looks like there is no trace, and it has some upright momentum.

From Xia Dou to the present, this is the first time I have seen information about the owner of the tomb, but it is just some trivial things, it is difficult to say that this Song Sleeve prefers ancient swords, so you can find a large number of ancient swords as burial goods, why get a few stone rooms to put something that turns into ashes. I was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The third fat man replied: "Needless to say, big pillar, this stone room is not normal at first glance, I dare to conclude that the gold and silver must be hidden behind the wall, and when I find it, the four of us will divide it equally." ”

I know that the third fat man is just talking about it, and if he really asks him to find some gold and silver, he won't be able to take much, and when the time comes, he won't pay attention to it. So I said to him, "Look for it, find it, it's all yours." ”

Who knew that he really banged on the wall, but as soon as he heard the knocking sound, he knew that the wall was solid, and it was impossible to contain anything in it, and he changed places a few times and it was the same, and slowly he was a little slack.

I couldn't see anything in this stone room, so I wanted to go to the other rooms in the retreat, but before I got to the door, the three fat men stopped me and said don't go, I thought he was going to have convulsions again, so I didn't want to deal with him. He said suspiciously: "Big pillar, come and see." Isn't there something wrong with the sword in this drawing? ”

When I heard this, it wasn't fucking nonsense, the sword painted on the wall was right, it was always a little different from what I actually saw. Unexpectedly, he followed up with another sentence: "Just now I clearly remembered that the hilt of the sword was facing right, why is it facing left now?" ”

Could it be that not only the dark tunnel will move, but even the stone wall will move invisibly? I hurriedly walked over to see that the painted ancient sword was indeed reversed.

Hearing our movements, Nameless ran in and looked at us and asked, "What's wrong?" I pointed to the ancient sword on the stone wall, and he was puzzled for a second before running towards the first stone chamber. The three fat men and I hurriedly chased after him, and when we saw that the original wall had fallen off, the new wall was covered with murals. And these murals are disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and we don't have time to look closely, so we look down the stone chambers one by one, and finally we reach the fourth stone chamber, and the ancient sword carved on the wall has not disappeared, nor has it changed direction again.

The three fat men exclaimed, "What is this, the sword-forging process?" ”

These frescoes do reflect the process of forging swords.

It can be roughly seen that he depicts a man who went into a deep mountain to look for ore materials, and then melted these ores separately to remove the impurities inside, and then poured the clean ore solution into the carved sword model according to a specific proportion, but the person who forged the sword was more cautious in this step, and he was depicted sitting on a stone bench looking at the ore solution in a daze.

The next scene should be the scene where the ore solution poured into the model cools, and the swordsmith guards the edge of the model, constantly walking and looking at it, and this scene is depicted several times in a row, and then he stands in front of a model with a relieved expression on his face.

In the end, he took out the cooled ancient sword and continued to put it in the fire to hammer and sharpen it, the sweat kept rolling down his face and blending into the fire, and his face always had a look of relief.

The ancient sword he forged was also the one painted on the wall of the fourth stone chamber, but what made people wonder was that the swordsmith's face was covered with a black veil from beginning to end, and I don't know if it was originally like this or the deliberate act of the owner of the tomb.

It seems that what the bad old man said is indeed true, there must be a secret about the five cold irons, and the swordsmith painted on the wall will not be Ojiko.

I hypothetically asked them, "You say, could this swordsmith be Ojiko?" The little brother in black shook his head, and Wu Ming said, "Maybe so." ”

Listening to Wu Ming's answer, his thoughts should be not much different from what I thought, first someone found a silk book about the ancient sword of Zhanlu in this tomb, and then we just saw the process of casting the sword on the wall, that is, there is a certain relationship between this tomb and the sword, in other words, Song Sleeve has a relationship with the sword. Let's not talk about whether this Song Sleeve is male or female, since he put the ancient sword in such an important position in the funeral goods, that is to say, the ancient sword is very important to him. A person likes a thing, even if he hides it deeply, he can see it through the appearance, not to mention that Song Sleeve doesn't hide it at all.

Judging from this series of events, Song Sleeve must also know the secret inside the cold iron cast by Ou Zhizi, and buried it in the closest place to him.

And what is this secret?

Seeing that we were all silent, the third fat man said, "If you want to come up with something here, you might as well hurry forward and look at it, maybe the truth will be revealed." ”

Wu Ming stretched out his finger and gestured to his mouth. "Shh ”
