Chapter 028: Qing Ji
Yun Ou said happily: "A word of gold, I would like to hear it in detail!"
Yubin and Pantuo revealed what they knew:
"The male and female swords were not dedicated to the violent King Wu. Mo Xie and the cadre agreed that after the death of the two of them, the male and female swords will be passed on to the Taoist disciples who live in the ancient country of Ouyue, especially in southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, that is, 'Shouzhenren', to the people in love who are loyal to love and love the ghosts and gods so much that they cry the earth and cry ghosts and gods. It is better to have a shortage than to be excessive, and to keep the covenant from generation to generation. β
"That is to say, to be able to receive the male and female swords, two conditions must be met: absolute loyalty to love! Absolutely vigorous! Is this the case with the predecessors?"
"Well, two absolutes, one is indispensable!"
"Such a beloved in the world was originally rare, and in ancient times, the news was difficult to spread far and wide, so the opportunity for Shouzhen to give away male and female swords must be very rare......!
The most important thing is that there is an extremely mysterious legend in the porcelain world: the first transmission of the male and female swords is to pass on to the ancestor of our Longquan celadon - Ye Qingji!"
"Ye Qingji, where is she? Can I ask to see her?" Hope is in front of him, the Merry Sword seems to be coming out, and Yun Ou can't help but be ecstatic!
"Hahaha, Shaoxia, you are confused this time, thousand-year-old celadon, Ye Qingji lives in the Han Dynasty!" Yubin laughed, and Yun Ou scratched his head in embarrassment.
"However, if you look up, you can still see her figure......" Yubin pointed to a celadon on the shelf, and his expression suddenly became solemn and solemn.
But see this celadon, the shape is exquisite, its demeanor is elegant, its face is the rain over the azure, its appearance is glazed, just like the stains of tears, which makes people feel sorry.
Yun Ou suddenly realized and said: "Could it be that this celadon is made of Ye Qingji's sacrificial kiln?" Could it be that Ye Qingji sacrificed herself for her lover, moved Mo Xie and the descendants of her disciples, and received male and female swords?"
Yubin nodded solemnly.
*** ***
Ye Qingji, who lived in Longquan, his father was a craftsman who fired porcelain for the palace of Chu in the Han Dynasty - Ye Zi Kiln. At that time, the king of Chu instructed the leaf kiln to fire the most perfect celadon of "rain over the sky" within a year, otherwise his whole family would be punished.
The production cycle of a batch of porcelain, from soil mining, mud training, molding, blank repair, blank repair, decoration, plain firing, glazing, to the final kiln, kiln and other links, takes at least three months. Three hundred and thirty-nine months have passed, and all three batches of porcelain have ended in failure!
Naturally, the last bet is only on the last batch of firing!
In the last three months, miracles must be wrought!
And the creation of miracles must be done with the most extraordinary skills - there must be the right people who sacrifice themselves to sacrifice themselves to the kiln!
Qing Shirt - Qing Ji's fiancΓ© Jun, volunteer!
Seonghime also volunteered!
The two beloved, both want to leave the hope of life to each other, and neither can convince anyone.
Because before the sacrifice kiln, it is necessary to bathe and change clothes, fast and burn incense for three days, yes, Ye Qingji and Qing Yizi finally meet, three days before the sacrifice kiln, the two sides draw lots, and those who catch the lot should not hesitate, and those who fall into the lot must also endure the pain and cut their love!
When the Keeper learned of the lovers' touching deeds, they decided to present them with both male and female swords.
However, once they have both male and female swords, it is very likely that Qing Ji and Qing Yi will not be able to resist the temptation of the romantic magic of male and female swords and will do things for men and women, so they will also break the fast, blaspheme the gods, and finally the sacrificial kiln will be completely invalid!
"Let's accept the male and female swords, because it is the best testimony to our love!
However, at the same time, let's seal the male and female swords! Because true love is not about having each other, but about being able to sacrifice oneself for each other!"
Aohime made a proposal to Aoji.
Tsing Yi nodded and resolutely accepted.
The "auspicious day of the zodiac" has arrived.
Lot, caught by the green shirt!
"A man can give his life for the woman he loves, this is the best ending!"
"Lang Jun, this time, you are wrong! Our best ending should be to ensure the success of the sacrificial kiln and ensure that the celadon of 'rain over the sky' is fired, so as to save the other party and save the whole family!"
"But ......"
"However, only a pure and gentle women's sacrificial kiln can endow porcelain with a temperament like azure and warm as jade!"
On the side, Qing Ji's old father, Ye Ziyao, nodded painfully and wept bitterly.
The green shirt was unbearable, tears flowed, and she couldn't kneel for Qing Ji Chang.
Three days later, Aohime resolutely threw herself into the kiln fire!
In two days, the celadon will be fired out of the kiln, the rain will pass the azure, and the hibiscus will come out of the water, which is extraordinary!
The green shirt, who had been kneeling for a long time, took out a special celadon from the kiln, and the tears on the celadon were faint, and Chu Chu was pitiful......
*** ***
"People say that she is the incarnation of Aohime. Yubin turned from his memories to reality, and said in the face of this celadon with special traces of glaze.
"It's true:
Reborn in the fire and turned into tears, the spots are really heartwarming.
The pear blossom is a pet with rain, and the glaze is eternal!"
Yun Ou said with emotion.
"The glaze is plain, but the eternal chastity - Qing Ji has indeed gained eternal life! Later, the celadon was named after Qing Ji. In our Longquan dialect, Qingji and celadon are homophonic. β
"Senior, do you know the whereabouts of the male and female swords?"
Yubin replied: "Later, the green shirt guarded the male and female swords alone, and died alone. Before his death, he returned the male and female swords to Shouzhen. β
"Why do you want to return it? Is it the original agreement?"
"No, there was no agreement, but it is said that it became a common practice. Because the beloved people are also sympathetic, they also hope that after a hundred years, the male and female swords can continue to be passed on to other beloved people through the Shouzhen people. β
"Moved! understood! What happened later?"
ηζ says:
"In the end, I only heard that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhou Yu, the governor of Sun and Wu, built a mysterious 'city of her' for his wife Xiao Qiao in a remote place in Ouyue, in order to avoid war and Cao Cao's covetousness.
Later, Xiao Qiao met Lang Jun for the last time in order to cross the flood, and made unremitting efforts to build the first covered bridge in history with the help of craftsmen.
In this way, moving the heavens and the earth, Shouzhen gave Xiao Qiao a male and female sword. After that, the male and female swords did not know what to do. β
"Senior, thank you so much, do you have any other definite information about Shouzhen and the location of her city?"
"It's a pity, I know everything. I believe that with the ingenuity of the young man and the auspicious people, I will definitely be able to find more clues from it, so as to uncover the thousand-year-old mystery of the whereabouts of the male and female swords!"
......
Finally, there is the whereabouts of the Merry Sword--by Shouzhenren, first passed on to Longquan Ye Qingji, and then passed on to Xiao Qiao, who lives in seclusion in her city! Although this so-called whereabouts are still very vague, they have left clues such as Shouzhenren, her city, and covered bridges.
Yubin didn't mention the Seven Star Well, but the Seven Star Well was Yun Ou's own established direction. On the one hand, the Longquan Qixingjing should have many mysteries of the Ouyezi family's sword-casting, and on the other hand, it is necessary to fulfill the three-day appointment with the Sword Lady to meet in the Qixingjing.
When the Seven Star Well had rushed to the bottom of his eyes, Yun Ou's expression was shocked again!
