After the upload of the novel "Sword Burning Nine Days", some readers asked me some details of Zhanlu Shenjian, the following text is just compiled by the author based on some historical books, mythological stories and some online articles, it is really the words of a family, I hope you readers Haihan.

From ancient times to the present, there are many poems about Zhanlu, but it is inevitable to mention Ou Yezi and the Zhanlu sword with the reputation of "the first sword in the world".

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the princes competed for hegemony and wars continued. In order to enhance their combat effectiveness, the warring parties have selected skilled craftsmen in China to develop weapons to defeat the enemy. As the main weapon of hand-to-hand combat, the sword was known as the "division of a hundred soldiers" at the time. Located in the southeast of the Wuyue countries, the water network is vertical and horizontal, the forest and grass are dense, which is not conducive to vehicle warfare, so the sharp and light sword is more and more important.

“...... The sword is also completed, the light penetrates the sky, the sun and the moon shine, the stars avoid color, and the ghosts and gods cry out. "A sword that is sharp in the world. Ou Yezi It is dedicated to the king of Yue. Under the caress of the king of Yue, he named it "Zhanlu". Since then, Ou Yezi has been famous all over the world along with his Zhan Lu sword. Therefore, the sword is named after the mountain. Therefore, Zhanlu Mountain is known as "the first in Fujian Mountain", "the first sword mountain in the world", "Sword Mountain" and so on.

King Chu Zhao was lying in the palace, and when he woke up, he saw a cold light on the pillow, and he saw it and got a sword. And Dan, summon the sword man Fengbeard into the palace and show it with a sword. Fengbeard looked at the sword and said: "How did the king get this?" King Zhao said: "The widow sleeps and gets it on the pillow, I don't know what the name of this sword is?" Fengbeard said: "The sword of this name 'Zhanlu' is cast by Ou Yezi, the swordsman of Wuzhong, the king of Xiyue cast a famous sword of five mouths, Wu Wangshou dreamed of hearing it and begged for it, and the king of Yue offered the third, called 'fish intestines', 'Panying', 'Zhanlu'." 'Fish intestines' to stab the king's bureaucrats, 'Panying' to send off the dead women, but the sword of 'Zhan Lu' is in the air. The minister heard that this sword is the English of hardware, the essence of the sun, out of the gods, the service of the mighty, but the king of the people do things against reason, the sword is out. The country where this sword is located, its country will be far and prosperous, now the king of Wu killed the king's bureaucracy to stand on his own, and killed 10,000 people to bury his daughter, the Wu people are not resentful, so the sword of 'Zhan Lu', go to the no way and there is a way! (From "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty")

After the Zhanlu sword was cast, it was highly respected by all dynasties. The magical legend of the Zhanlu sword is recorded in ancient books such as Yuan Kang's "Book of Yue Jue" of the Han Dynasty, the "Collected Memories" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the "Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" by Feng Menglong at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Among the people, there is a legend of Ou Yezi trying the sword. Yang Ying, the head of Zhanlu Academy in the Yuan Dynasty, described the vivid scene of Zhanlu sword refining through his own imagination: "...... The sword is also completed, the essence is shining through the sky, the sun and the moon are shining, the stars are avoiding color, and the ghosts and gods are sad".

Legend has it that after Ou Yezi made a sword, in order to test its performance, he swung the sword and slashed at the boulder, and the boulder cracked violently.

Although "a sword swings down a boulder" is just a legend, the sharpness of the Zhan Lu sword is incomparably sharp, but there are historical records. According to the record of "Wu Yue Chunqiu", Ou Yezi refined a total of five swords: Zhan Lu, Chunjun, Juque, Hao Cao, and Yu Gu, and Zhan Lu was listed at the top of the five swords. The great poet Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty had the verse "The courtier is also in military uniform, and the king presses Zhanlu", where 'Zhanlu' has become synonymous with sharp weapons.

However, this Zhanlu sword that "comes out of God and serves with might" does not stay in the world forever.

After Lu Jian changed his master repeatedly, he went to the Jin Dynasty to become a famous general Zhou (that is, the one who eliminated the three evils), and then transferred it to the anti-gold hero Yue Fei by his descendants. Zhan Lu has spirituality, can recognize loyal ministers, and good kings. Legend has it that in the end, Zhan Lu fell into a deep pool of clear water in the hometown where the sword was made at that time.
