Chapter 231: Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword
Seeing this scene, my whole person was in a state of confusion, the old guy kept saying that he wanted to take me to get something very important, why did he suddenly perform "suicide by jumping into the river"?
Just as I was at a loss for what to do when I looked at the rippling water, suddenly accompanied by a splashing sound, Lao Wu got out of the water again, reached out and wiped the river water on his face, and then slowly walked ashore.
"Old Wu! You...... What are you doing? ”
Lao Wu ignored me.
He was dripping with water and walked ashore, and as his hands came out of the water, I saw that he had an extra sword in his hand.
Immediately, all attention was fixed on the sword in his hand.
It is obvious that this is an ancient sword, and it has been rusted for some years, the sword body is covered with patina, the most attractive thing is the hilt, first of all, the hilt is very long, the visual foot is more than thirty centimeters, and the tail end of the hilt is a strange beast head.
Seeing that the head of this beast is like a lion, but it has a pair of dragon horns, and there are two large sharp teeth in its mouth, which should be made up by the swordsmith.
"Old Wu, what you are talking about is this sword?"
"That's right! You need him tonight. He walked up to me and handed me the sword.
"This sword has been soaking in the river for a long time! It seems to ......"
I didn't say the second half of the sentence explicitly, but I believe Lao Wu can understand it.
Lao Wu smiled coldly: "Boy, you probably don't know the name of this sword yet!" ”
I laughed too, and I couldn't help but laugh.
"This sword has a name! It seems to have been useless. ”
"This is the legendary Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword."
I shook my head, indicating that I hadn't heard of it.
"Then you may have heard another name for this sword - Longquan Sword!"
I nodded, when I was in high school, I had really read a material dedicated to the Longquan Sword, which was one of the four famous swords in ancient times.
Before the Western Han Dynasty, Huashan is divided into two parts, there is Xiyue Huashan in the west, there is Donghua Mountain in the east, although Donghua Mountain is not big, but it is also mysterious and magical, there is an old dragon spring at a glance, the gurgling blue water flows out from the stone cave day and night, the ancient trees and wild flowers in the mountain, the scenery is picturesque.
Although the old dragon spring is not big, it is very deep, and someone drove a group of ducks with red silk tied around their necks and made marks into the old dragon spring cave. A few months later, these ducks appeared in the East China Sea.
Therefore, people say that the old dragon spring of Huashan leads directly to the old dragon palace in the East China Sea, and the shrimp soldiers and crab generals and Zhenhai small dragons have also haunted the old dragon spring in Huashan.
Old Longquan is not an ordinary place.
The teenager Liu Bang often came here to play. Several times he saw a white-haired old man clanging iron by the old dragon spring, and every time he always burned the half-cut brick-like iron.
Liu Bang felt strange and asked the old man: "Grandpa, why do you always burn this piece of iron?" ”
The old man glanced at him and said, "The knife is sharpened on the stone, and the steel is refined in the fire. ”
Liu Bang asked again: "How long do you want to temper?" "Seven seven forty-nine days."
Liu Bang was surprised when he heard this, and asked again: "Old man, what are you using this piece of steel for?" ”
The old man told him, "I want to make a sword and give it to the emperor." ”
When Liu Bang heard this, he pursed his mouth and said, "Hmph, do you dare to give murderous things to the tyrant?" Why don't you give it to me? ”
The old man smiled: "It's not for the current emperor, it's a future true dragon emperor......"
Liu Bang has loved martial arts since he was a child, and he longed to get a good sword, so he said without thinking: "I am the future true dragon emperor, give it to me if you fight it......"
The old man laughed: "You kid, you are not small......"
Liu Bang said: "Today's emperor Lao'er is nothing to fear. ”
The old man nodded slightly and said, "Well, if you make this sword, I'll give it to you." ”
Liu Bang said happily: "Grandpa, I thank you!" When will you be able to do it? ”
The old man made an appointment with him, and told him to go to the fourth watch and return to the fifth watch alone, to try his courage. Liu Bang thanked the old man and went back.
According to the appointed time, Liu Bang went over the mountain alone in the dark and came to the old dragon spring, and saw the old man waiting under the lamp.
Liu Bang asked, "Is the sword ready?" ”
The old man smiled: "Look! As he spoke, he took it out of the red silk and took off the scabbard, only to see that the blade and the end of the sword were like lightning in the air, shining brightly, and the cold air was swishing, which was really a rare sword in the world.
The old man inserted the sword into the sheath, handed it to Liu Bang and said, "Did you hit the picture?" ”
Liu Bang was overjoyed, took it with both hands and said, "Great! ”
Kowtowed and thanked the old man. He looked at the handle again, and saw a dragon carved on it, and the word "Longyuan" was on it.
The old man said, "How about you try it?" ”
Liu Bang took out the Longquan sword and danced, the old man nodded and praised again and again, and explained: "You have to take it with you, it will be of great use in the future." ”
After that, he handed Liu Bang a letter. Liu Bang took it, only to see that it was written:
"Kill demons, avoid evil spirits, kill corrupt officials, eliminate violence, and make all the people happy. One day to ascend the dragon throne, you have to rely on the three-foot dragon sword. ”
Liu Bang turned his face to look at the old man, and the old man was gone.
Later, Liu Bang revolted by cutting snakes in Mangdang Mountain, and it was this Longyuan sword that he used.
…………
Of course, this story must have been made up by the ancients, but it also shows the status of the Longquan Sword from the side.
"Old Wu, you said this is the Longquan Sword?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise.
"Take it! If you want to come out alive tonight, you can't live without it. ”
I took the ancient sword, and the first time I almost got out of my hand.
"It's so heavy!"
"Let's go!"
"By the way, what are you talking about...... What is the meaning? Where are you going! ”
"Under the ancient well."
"Under that ancient well in the ferry factory? So you already knew? ”
Lao Wu replied coldly: "I also know that Liu Banxian taught you the swordsmanship of dealing with foreign beasts!" ”
"How do you know?"
The two of them talked and walked in the direction of the ferry factory.
I sometimes even wonder if Lao Wu is really lame, at this time I can't see my five fingers, but he walks like a fly, even if it is me, I can only barely keep up.
The Nuoda ferry factory has been razed to the ground, with several large tents set up on one side, and five or six construction vehicles on one side of the tent, and a large number of construction tools.
I think the workers who work during the day are sleeping soundly in their tents at this time.
I have to admire the power of the Xia family of Jiuding Group, such a large ferry factory was razed to the ground in less than two days - as if the ferry factory had never existed.
Lao Wu didn't care about the workers sleeping in the tent, and walked straight towards the big locust tree.
The two of them soon came to the ancient well.
Compared with before, there seems to be no change around the ancient well, especially this thick locust tree, which can be said to be not damaged in the slightest, which verifies my judgment even more, the Xia family knows the existence of this ancient well, and the purpose of doing this is for this ancient well.
"Old Wu, if you want to go down, you have to have a rope!"
Lao Wu gave me a blank look: "You didn't take the used cable away last time. ”
I scratched my head awkwardly and smiled.
The two of them made it to the bottom of the well, and with a chilling sensation, I knew that all the body parts I had upgraded on the other side flower system were ineffective.
