Don't pretend, anchor, I've seen you touch the golden talisman!

Chapter 202: The sword that sheds blood and recognizes its owner
Lin Yi picked up the brocade box with both hands, and weighed it in his hands.

The weight is not heavy, about seven or eight catties in total.

Get it under the candlelight and observe carefully.

The outside of the box was covered with a layer of black and gold brocade, which turned into ashes when touched with the passage of time.

On the contrary, the body of the box exudes a delicate fragrance. It should be that sandalwood is used as the main body of the box to prevent insects.

The brocade box is not locked, nor does it have any mysterious mechanisms.

Lin Yi opened it after looking up and down.

The bottom is also a cover, on which there is a letter written on sheepskin.

Open it and see that the text is written in Tang Kai, and the content is related to the "barrier knife":
According to legend, Ou Yezi, a master swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period, stopped making swords in his later years.

Later generations asked about the reason, and Ou Yezi replied: I have made too many swords in my life and killed too many people, so I closed the furnace.

In his whole life, Ou Yezi never took in any disciples other than the generals and Mo Xie. Everyone thought that his ability to forge swords was lost.

Unexpectedly, until the Tang Dynasty, there was a swordsmith named Zhang Yajiu, who had some experience in swordsmithing.

But he has a weird temper and doesn't want to make friends with powerful people. He lives in the mountains and fields all day long, making farm tools and ironware.

One day, a fisherman came and said that when he was fishing in the river, he caught a rusted iron rod and said that he wanted to find Zhang Yajiu to exchange some farm tools.

When Zhang Yajiu took the iron rod and prepared to return it to the furnace for recasting, he called out the "sword spirit" that Ou Yezi had bestowed on it.

It turns out that although Ou Yezi sealed the furnace in his later years, his skills were wasted, which was a pity.

During his lifetime, he forged seven famous swords: Tai'a, Longyuan, Gongbu, Zhanlu, Juque, Yuchang, and Chunjun. However, he could not make up the full ten, and he still had a lot of regrets in his heart.

So he took his favorite piece of material, sealed his sword-making experience into a "sword spirit", and threw it into the Wei River, so that future generations could know his intentions.

After Zhang Yajiu forged the raw material, he cut it into three sections as preparation materials.

The first thing that started the furnace was the broken sword of Duke Zhou that Li Chunfeng brought.

As for what conditions Li Gong used in exchange, there is no mention in the parchment.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the swords worn by scholar-bureaucrats were mostly decorative and sharp weapons, with a sense of ritual rather than practicality.

The same goes for Duke Zhou's sword, which was nearly two meters long. After being taken out by the group of monks, it was cut into several pieces and thrown together with the bronzes in the deep valley.

All that was recovered was a hilt and a part of the blade.

Zhang Yajiu used the piece of raw material left by Ou Yezi to recast and forge the sword, turning it into a "barrier sword".

In the Tang Dynasty, there were four types of sabers:
The ceremonial knife is luxuriously decorated, beautiful and elegant, and is a ceremonial knife exclusive to the nobles.

The horizontal knife is simple and practical, and easy to carry. It is a necessary self-defense weapon for war, business and travel.

The Mo knife is designed to defeat cavalry, and it is a practical knife that has been baptized in war.

These three types of knives require too many raw materials, and only the "barrier knife" is suitable.

Barrier knives are the least surviving Tang Dynasty knives, and there is no precise standard for their shape.

The definition of it in the archaeological circle is that the "rib difference" of the Japanese country is the ancestor of the short knife among the two knives worn by the warriors of the Japanese country.

After it was cast, Li Chunfeng put the "Barrier Sword" and the "Yunzhuan Tianshu" into the stone box and brought them into the sarcophagus.

After reading the words on the parchment, Lin Yi folded it and put it aside.

Then carefully open the cover of the sandalwood box.

A "barrier knife" lay quietly inside.

Less than [-] centimeters in length, the hilt at the head of the ring is exactly the same as the sabers of the Western Zhou Dynasty and even the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods. This should be the hilt of Zhou Gongdan's sword.

The grip is wrapped in layers of cowhide lines, and the tandem is made of the same material as the handle.

The shell is made of rosewood, wrapped with copper skin and pearl rain skin.

Although it is the product of splicing two eras, there is no contradiction at all.

Lin Yi put the barrier knife on the tiger's mouth with both hands, and suddenly felt as if he had traveled through a thousand years of time, and was having a face-to-face conversation with an old man from a thousand years ago.

"Cang Cang" sounded like a dragon's roar, and Lin Yi pulled out the sword.

After thousands of years, the blade is still as good as new, and a cold light comes directly from the door.

There is a blood groove on each side, and the blade has a wavy pattern. The overall width is about two fingers, consistent from front to back.

The head of the knife is obviously Tang Dao style, with a sharp and tough line, which can be used for stabbing and cutting.

"Good knife!"

Lin Yi has not come into contact with many knives, but his eldest brother Abudu gave him two daggers produced in southern Xinjiang - Yingisha.

It is the product that best represents the hand forging process.

It was really easy to use. Lin Yi cherished it very much and was reluctant to take it out this time.

However, compared with the "barrier knife" in his hand, those two Yingjishas can only be said to be inferior.

Facing the candlelight, Lin Yi gently stroked the edge of the blade with his fingers.

Suddenly, I felt my fingertips cool down, and several bean-sized blood beads flowed down the edge of the blade, rolled a few times along the blood groove, and disappeared in an instant.

"Is this considered to be the master?"

Legend has it that all the magical weapons in this world have their own personalities and cannot be used by people who are not of right and temperament.

If it is controlled by force, it will be suspected of devouring the master.

As for how to recognize the Lord, the simplest way is to shed blood.

If the master's blood is absorbed by the sword, it proves that the recognition of the master is successful. Not only will this magical weapon not devour the master, but it will also accompany the master throughout his life and become a weapon for him to overcome obstacles.

By the time the blood drops dissipated, the wound on Lin Yi's hand had also healed.

Only a thin white mark remained.

At this moment, at the connection between the blade and the blade, two engraved seal characters were vaguely visible:

"Kill the enemy!"

Killer, kill!
瞾 is a word that Wu Zetian specially invented to name herself.

It means "the sun and the moon are in the sky, illuminating the earth", and there are rumors that "Mingkong" is Wu Zetian's dharma name in Shimen.

This "barrier knife" is named "Killing", the meaning is not too obvious.

It seems that Li Chunfeng did regret that he had told Wu Zetian about this piece of feng shui auspicious soil out of his own motivation, which led to the destruction of Li Tang's country and the country.

It's a pity that Wu Zhao's luck was unstoppable back then, and Li Chunfeng could only leave various clues in this auspicious land, so that future generations can reveal the secrets here.

As for Wu Zhao's fate, Yuan and Li had already reached a conclusion when they deduced it. After their disciples sorted it out, they named it "Tuibei Diagram".

As for why Wu Zetian did not choose to be buried here after her death, but chose to be buried in Qianling as the daughter-in-law of the Li family, it is unknown.

And in the last few lines of the tortoise shell's "Yunzhuan Tianshu", Li Chunfeng stated the method to crack the "Three Poisons", and pointed out a way to escape from here.
