Chapter 9: Famous Sword

Zhou Jinyu was so excited when she saw Yinran seeing her sword, and she was a little confused. On weekdays, his father did not allow him to touch this sword, and he never told him the origin of this sword, when his uncle asked and didn't know how to answer, so he said honestly: "Uncle smiled, this sword... The child doesn't know. ”

Yin Ran said: "I really didn't expect it, is it really it?"

Zhou Jinyu was even more puzzled by the second monk: "What is it?"

Yin Ran said: "You bring the sword and let me take a closer look." ”

Zhou Jinyu handed the sword to Yinran's hands with both hands, and saw Yinran turning the sword over and over for a long time. Yin Ran nodded and said, "Not bad! Not bad!" Then he pulled out the long sword, the cold light was dazzling, and the sword body was carved with mountains and rivers, and the carving was exquisite and ingenious.

Yin Ran said happily: "Qingcang left you a sword baby!"

Zhou Jinyu asked, "Does my uncle see any clues?"

Yin Ran said: "This sword is the 'cadre'. ”

Zhou Jinyu thought that his father's sword was also cast by the cadre, and asked: "The cadre's sword has been cast by those many swords, dare to ask my uncle what this sword is called?"

Yin Ran laughed and said, "Whatever! This sword is called 'Cadre'!!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, the legendary 'cadre' was actually close in front of him! Zhou Jinyu was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, Yin Yichen and his sister Yimeng also gathered around their father to watch when they heard that this sword was actually a 'can', so as to feast their eyes.

Yin Yichen asked, "Father, how do you know that this sword is a 'cadre'." ”

Yin Ran said: "It can't be wrong! When I captured a Tatar officer in Xuanfu, I learned that he was going to send a treasure map to the Tatar leader Batu Mengke. The two famous swords depicted on this picture are really 'Ganjiang' and 'Mo Evil'. The sword of the 'Ganjiang' is engraved with mountains and rivers, and the sword of 'Mo Ye' is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, which I saw with my own eyes at that time. ”

Yimeng said: "Daddy, what does Batu Mengke want to do with these two swords?"

Yin Ran said: "Legend has it that at that time, King Wu got the two swords of 'Ganjiang' and 'Mo Evil', and he couldn't put it down, and the news of 'Ganjiang' and 'Mo Evil' soon spread. Soon, a Penglai hermit got the news and came to visit King Wu, saying that he had a strange picture of the world to present to King Wu. ”

Yimeng interjected: "What picture?"

Yin Ran continued: "This picture covers all the mountains and rivers, the sun, the moon and the stars in the world, and it is cleverly conceived and leads to the will of heaven. According to the five elements of yin and yang, it can be deduced from this that King Wen of Zhou's innate sixteen hexagrams, many of which are beyond the comprehension of mortals. King Wu readily agreed, and ordered a skilled craftsman to engrave this picture on the sword. The pattern engraved on Jinyu's sword is exactly the same as the one I saw back then, what is this sword if it is not a 'cadre'?"

Zhou Jinyu couldn't have dreamed that his father's personal sword was actually a long-lost divine sword 'cadre', and he really couldn't believe it, so he asked: "How can this 'cadre' be in the hands of my father?"

Yin Ran pondered for a moment and said, "According to my estimate, this sword is related to blue jade. ”

Yimeng said: "Is it the blue jade of Liangguo Gong?"

Yin Ran said: "Exactly! General Lan Yu has fought in the south and north all his life, experienced countless wars, and made many miraculous achievements. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu went to Yunnan with the rank of deputy general of the left, and Lan Yu was brave and good at fighting, breaking through Kunming in one fell swoop, and completely destroying the Northern Yuan forces entrenched in Yunnan. At the same time, Lan Yu took advantage of the victory to pursue, and broke through Dali in one fell swoop and captured Yuan Tingping Zhang Darima. Dari Maha collected all the treasures collected during Dali's performance and dedicated them to Lanyu in order to immortalize. Among them, the sword is the 'Commander'. Lan Yu was overjoyed to pardon Darima, which made Emperor Taizu very unhappy. Later, Lan Yu led the army to defeat the Northern Yuan in the Battle of Yuerhai, during which the 'cadre' exerted its infinite power, countless Beiyuan cavalry died under the sword, and the 'cadre' also accumulated countless grievances. During the conquest of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Jin Yu's great-grandfather Zhou Cheng had been following Lan Yu as a deputy general, and because of his extraordinary combat bravery, he was quite appreciated by Lan Yu, and was accepted as a righteous son by General Lan Yu. However, Lan Yu was proud of his achievements in the later period, and he didn't even take Taizu in his eyes, and he accepted many of his righteous sons, many of whom held military power, which seriously threatened the imperial power. As a result, there was the "Blue Jade Case" that shocked back then, and its henchmen were implicated in more than 15,000 deaths. Lan Yu was detained in the heavenly prison before his death, and none of the righteous sons dared to go to see him, only Zhou Cheng remembered his old feelings and went to the heavenly prison at the risk of death. Lan Yu was quite moved, so he told Zhou Cheng where the sword was hidden. Jin Yu's sword may have been handed down by his great-grandfather, Zhou Cheng. ”

Zhou Jinyu didn't expect that the sword in his hand would be so legendary, and he was happy in his heart. He suddenly thought that since 'Mo Evil' could restrain 'Chixiao', why couldn't 'Cadre'? ”

Yin Ran said with a smile: "Haha, my nephew doesn't know, the 'cadre' has followed General Lanyu on the battlefield for a long time, and he has been stained with too much blood, and there is too much resentment attached to the sword. Only the affectionate affection in the world on the 'Mo Evil' sword can suppress the resentment of the white snake of 'Chixiao'. ”

Zhou Jinyu listened to his uncle talk about the origin of the sword in his hand, and felt that although he had a 'leader' in his hand, he couldn't be happy. It seems that you still have to find the 'Mo Evil' sword in order to be able to avenge your parents!

Yin Ran was busy with official duties during the day, and said that he didn't feel a little tired for half a day, so he said: "Jinyu, this will be your home in the future, let Yichen take you to the east courtyard to clean up a room and come out in a while." ”

Zhou Jinyu said: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Yin Ran said: "Jinyu has a tired journey, let's rest early today." ”

The night was quiet, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on Zhou Jinyu's window, and he stared at the starry sky thinking about everything that had happened recently, as if he was in a different world.

Zhou Jinyu was thinking to himself, and suddenly heard the sound of rustling outside the door, he looked out the window, and two dark figures flashed ghostly, and their bodies were extremely fast, which was a superior light skill. Zhou Jinyu got up suddenly, leaned on the crack in the door, and eavesdropped.
