Chapter 429
Lin Fengcao said, "don't worry, old man, as soon as there is news, I will inform you immediately, and at the same time, I won't say much."

Qi Changhe laughed, "It's okay to say it, it's just publicity."

Lin Fengcao didn't know if what he said was ironic or not, so she responded lightly, "It's one thing whether the old man cares or not, but it's another thing whether I say it or not. If the old man wants to spread the news, there are ways. But it certainly wasn’t me who said it.”

Yu Yao also nodded.

On this big night, the two of them didn't stay long, and left after writing these two words with a pen and paper.

Back at the hotel, when he went to Lin Fengcao's room and closed the door, Yu Yao immediately asked, "Did you recognize it already?"

"I can only say that it is roughly the same. I have to go back online and enter the bird seal database to compare. However, it is indeed a lie to find someone, and I can handle it myself."

There is a computer in the room, but Lin Fengcao didn't use it, but used his mobile phone instead.

Yu Yao waited in the room.

After about half an hour, Lin Fengcao picked up a pen and wrote two italic characters next to the two bird seals on the paper:

Destroyer.

"Gou Jian, the king of Yue, use a sword to destroy the soul?" Yu Yao's face changed, "This is the legendary sword of destroying the soul? Could it be that the Eight Swords of the King of Yue really have something to do with it?"

"My translation of these two words is correct." Lin Fengcao looked at Yu Yao, "Are you sure that this is the bronze sword from the Spring and Autumn Period?"

"Yes." Yu Yao thought for a while, "Besides, this sword is slightly reddish, and the color is really close to the one mentioned in "Supplements of Relics."

Lin Fengcao pondered, "This place belongs to the area of ​​the ancient Yue country. Moreover, judging from Qi Changhe's vague words, it should not be collected from the market, but dug out."

The so-called "Supplements of Relics" is a collection from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Most of them are historical anecdotes and legends of myths and ghosts, so it is said that their credibility is not high.

However, regarding the Eight Swords of the King of Yue, it is described in more detail.

According to the content in it, it is said that the underground of Kunwu Mountain is full of red gold and red like fire. When the Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You, he used to dig a well in Kunwu Mountain. It is red, and it is not an ordinary stone, which can smelt copper.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue offered sacrifices to the mountain gods of Kunwu Mountain, quarried red stones to smelt copper, and obtained a batch of high-quality copper materials, and supervised the making of eight swords.

Kunwu Mountain has nothing to do with Kunlun Mountain. It is an ancient mountain name with a mythical color. It claims to belong to the Jishan Mountain System, but in fact it cannot be forcibly positioned by modern geography; In the handover area of ​​Shandong and Henan.

These eight swords are in order in "Supplements of Relics", and each has its own name and characteristics:

To occlude the sun, if you point your sword at the sun, the sunlight will be dimmed.

If the water is cut off, the water will be wet when the water is stroked.

Turn the soul, point the sword at the moon, and the moon will turn upside down.

Hanging the sword, the bird flies over the blade, and cuts in two sections.

Surprised salamanders, crossing the sea with a sword, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs dive to the bottom.

Destroy the soul, go out with the sword at night, and retreat from the ghosts and monsters.

But evil, can make demons and ghosts surrender.

Really strong, extremely sharp, able to cut gold and jade.

"Although these eight swords are legends, there may not be real ones. It's just that the real ones may not be so evil!" Yu Yao said.

Lin Fengcao nodded, "For example, this 'Miehun' has runes engraved on the tip of the sword. It may be used to drive away ghosts, similar to a magic weapon. But it's hard to say whether it can actually 'Miehun' gone."

"Yeah, another example is occulting the sun. How could it have the effect of dimming the sunlight? The most likely reason is that the sword body reflects the sunlight very strongly. Under the glare, it feels that the sword light is strong and the sunlight is weak."

Lin Fengcao squeezed her chin, "I don't want to discuss the effect. But if this sword is really an ancient sword in the Spring and Autumn Period as you said, and there are wrong gold inscriptions to prove that it was made by Yue King Goujian, then it is true. It's a heavy buckle."

Yu Yao nodded, then asked again, "The runes on the sword, in your opinion, are they unlikely to be recognized?"

"This rune is not a character, and the ages are too far apart, and there are all kinds of supernatural things. Maybe every wizard has a wizard's drawing method. It should be impossible to recognize." Lin Fengcao explained, "Also, After all, we met Qi Changhe by chance..."

At this time, Yu Yao picked up a pen and drew the runes on this piece of paper, "I remember it."

Lin Fengcao smiled slightly, "I guess you just memorized it. If it weren't for the complexity of the bird seal, I'm afraid I'll miss it, so I wouldn't propose it."

After a pause, Lin Fengcao asked Yu Yao again, "Why did you tell him the truth?"

"You mean, should I say I don't understand it?" Yu Yao explained, "It doesn't make any sense. Even if I say I don't understand it, I guess he won't sell it to me. And even if he wants to sell it, it must be a big price. Besides, this thing must not be handed down from generation to generation, it is hot! He thinks highly of me, so I will sell him favors."

Lin Fengcao nodded, "Now, do you want to tell him that these two words are 'Mie Hun'? By saying this, he will know that it is one of the Eight Swords of the King of Yue."

"It's up to you." Yu Yao said, "From my point of view, I'll treat this incident as a small episode of my visit to Shaoshi. As I said just now, I can't buy it, so, in my opinion, I have , can be regarded as a harvest.”

"Okay, tell him. Since you said earning favors, then you have earned enough."

At this moment, Yu Yao's cell phone rang, and it turned out that it was Cai Pengxi calling.

"There are clues." Cai Pengxi said, "But, did you entrust other people to find that big dragon?"

"Yes. It is Shangguan Yu, a student of He Yizhuo I mentioned to you. Although he is not a descendant of the Ghost Eye Sect, he is inextricably connected with this matter. He has an excellent eye for calligraphy and painting, and has a wide network of contacts. We have been communicating with each other on the matter of finding He Shangshan's descendant who holds the eye."

"Yeah. The person he entrusted has also approached Dalong, but Dalong was a bit repulsive, so he pushed it away." Cai Pengxi said, "Jiang Bangtai stepped forward, Dalong gave enough face and told the story. .”

Yu Yao didn't seem to be surprised when he heard Cai Pengxi's tone, "It seems that there are no valuable clues?"

"It's like this. This green seal of Fengmen was bought by Dalong when he bought a seal of Ruishou and Tianyu in the mid-Qing Dynasty, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Three melons and two dates came out. The owner of the goods is someone else. "

"Who is the owner?"

"The owner of the goods is a shoveler, nicknamed Lao Can. But now I can't contact this Lao Can, and he may have gone to the countryside to receive the goods."

"So that's how it is." Yu Yao said, "It's the old man, so wait a little longer? Or should we go directly to Quancheng now?"

"It's better if you go there first. Dalong said that this seal should be collected by the old man who went to the countryside, and it probably won't be able to get out of the surrounding counties and cities of Quancheng."
