My system is not decent

Chapter 1779
Legend has it that after Guan Yu's death, the Qinglong Yanyue Knife was taken away.

But in the end, Guan Yu's son killed the enemy and took back the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

And what is the final outcome of this knife?Is there really such a magical weapon in history?

In fact, the "Yue Dao" has been unearthed now, but it does not match the records.

In Majiazhai, Guizhou, a number of cultural relics were unearthed, and archaeologists faced difficulties in identifying the owner of the tomb.

Because among the cultural relics there is a 2-meter-long knife with exquisite dragon patterns carved on the handle and blade.

The unearthed dragon-pattern broadsword reminded the experts and the surrounding people of the legendary "Qinglong Yanyue Knife".

However, the cultural relics in this tomb all come from the Yongzheng period, which does not match the historical period when the Yanyue knife appeared.

Afterwards, the experts discovered after multiple verifications based on the cultural relics in the tomb and historical records that the tomb here should be the tomb of the descendants of Wu Sangui who caused the "San Francisco Rebellion".

Wu Sangui was born in a family of military generals and was proficient in riding and shooting.

Because he was dissatisfied with the Qing government, he revolted and became the emperor for only five months, calling his dynasty "Great Zhou".

This dragon pattern Yanyue knife has become dilapidated under the erosion of the years.

After it was discovered and carefully restored, it was found that the signature of Wu Sangui was engraved on the body of the knife, which was very inconspicuous.

This proves that the Yanyue Saber is not the rumored "Qinglong Yanyue Dao", but Wu Sangui's Saber.

But according to records, Wu Sangui is brave and good at fighting and can use a sword weighing more than 40 catties.

And this Yanyue knife unearthed only weighs about 12 kilograms.

Although the weight has some influence after being corroded, it still cannot reach the data in the record.

Therefore, comparing the facts before us with the literary works, the description of weapons in the literary works may have a large problem of artistic processing, and there is a certain amount of water, which does not match the facts.

Then for Guan Yu's "Qinglong Yanyue Knife", did Luo Guanzhong, the author of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", also carry out artistic processing?

Now convert the weight of the "Qinglong Yanyue Knife" into today's data, which is about 34 catties.

It is still very difficult to march and fight with a 34-jin knife.

But according to historical records, Guan Yu's weapon is not the "Qinglong Yanyue Saber".

Because there is the earliest record about Yanyue Dao, there is a drawing of this weapon in the Song Dynasty's "Wu Jing Zong Yao", and it was also called "Yue Dao" at that time.

The reason why "Three Kingdoms" wrote "Qinglong Yanyue Knife" is to use magical weapons to make the story more mysterious and make the heroic characters more three-dimensional.

So what weapon did Guan Yu use?According to the description of Guan Yu's battle in "Three Kingdoms": "The spur (Yan) is good among the crowd, beheaded and returned"

It is guessed that Guan Yu may be using a spear for beheading, so that it can be used more flexibly on horseback, and can also be used for stab attacks, while the heavy and heavy sword is not suitable for ordinary combat.

There are many similar magical weapons, which appeared in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

For example, the "Fang Tian Painting Halberd" is as famous as the "Qinglong Yanyue Knife".

Because there are colorful decorations painted on the halberd shaft, according to records, it is Lu Bu's weapon, weighing about 40 catties.

And Yue Ji, Marshal of the Western Qiang Kingdom, even had a long-handled iron hammer weighing 100 jin. Once the hammer was dropped, the ground would be sunken, and it was very powerful.

According to the artistic processing of literary works such as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it can be clearly seen that the descriptions of the weapons of these famous heroes are all compiled through exaggerated techniques.

In real wars, lightness and convenience are the main factors when marching and fighting.

These weapons, which range from tens of catties to hundreds of catties, may not be usable on the real battlefield.

Since ancient times, there have been myths of these historical figures to achieve the fullness of the image of heroes, so that future generations will have infinite reverie and reverence for them.

Archaeologists have also solved the mystery that has been difficult to solve for thousands of years based on the sword unearthed this time.

The unearthed cultural relics this time have some preliminary understanding of the weapons recorded in ancient times.

It also proves that under the conversion of ancient measurement units and the verification of actual items, there is indeed an exaggeration.

Of course, exaggeration is certain, but there is no room for air.

Since there are real descriptions in literary novels, it is naturally impossible for the author to create them out of thin air.

Therefore, in real history, some particularly heavy weapons also existed.

It's just that these weapons are not used when killing enemies in battle, but are usually used to train strength.

You have to know that the equipment used for exercise is different from the side weapons used to kill the enemy in battle.

For example, the legendary Qinglong Yanyue Knife is real, and it can be used for martial arts at ordinary times.

However, the weight of this knife is too heavy when it is really on the battlefield.

If it's a martial arts competition, it doesn't matter if you use it for a while, because it doesn't last long.

But if you are on the battlefield, you even have to ride a horse, let alone whether you can move it or not, even horsepower is a big problem.

Also, even if you are born with supernatural power, you must use a hundred catty sword?

On the battlefield, slashing and slashing non-stop, how much do you want to die with all your strength, so you choose a heavy weapon?

Therefore, those weighing weapons in the legend are not fictional. Although they are exaggerated, the point of exaggeration is not in the fictional weight, but in practicality.

At this point, it should be pointed out that many so-called experts now believe that the 82-jin Qinglong Yanyue Knife does not exist, because no one can lift it.

Even if he could lift it, he couldn't dance. Obviously, it was as if the old peasants envied the emperor for digging the ground with a golden hoe.

It is not without reason that the ancients, especially the ancient generals, were able to become invincible masters.

We modern people think that a big knife weighing more than 80 kilograms must not be able to play well, but for some ancient people with extraordinary talents, they can really play with it easily.

We couldn't verify this during the Three Kingdoms period, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be verified.

For example, the most recent one was a martial arts champion in the Qing Dynasty. He was very talented and born with supernatural powers.

There is really no reason for the talent gap.

This is recognized by modern people. For example, many people know that the gap between people is sometimes greater than the gap between humans and mice.

It's just a fact that someone is just gifted and able to do things that you thought were absolutely impossible.

After all, China has been around for 5000 years, which is too long, and too many people have been born. Who knows how many capable people and strangers will appear during this period?

There are few natural supernatural powers recorded in history?It's just that we modern people don't quite recognize it, and think it's a legend, it's just an exaggeration.

But is it really an exaggeration?The time is too long for us to prove it, but the military champion of the Qing Dynasty should be a real historical record, right?
Regardless of whether it is the number one scholar in literature or the number one scholar in martial arts, this was called the imperial examination in ancient times, so it is simple for everyone in these exams?
