Chapter 146 Dongbi Sword

Generally speaking, money swords with a length of more than one foot have a sword core, which is the so-called sword bone.

Because money swords are made of copper coins, before weaving money swords, a sword core is made of metal, and then copper coins are covered on the sword core and tied with hemp rope.

This money sword is less than two feet long, so it naturally has a sword core.

After the thick layer of rust on the outside was soaked away by the solvent, the general shape of the entire sword was revealed.

There are no ancient copper coins on the hilt of this sword, all the ancient copper coins are tied to the body of the sword, and the hemp rope mixed with gold thread is wrapped around the hilt, but those hemp ropes have long since rotted away. Leave some wire wrapped around the hilt.

On the front and back of the sword, there is a protrusion the size of a one-yuan coin. Judging from the shape, these two protrusions should be Yangwen inscriptions.It's just that like the body of the sword, these two inscriptions are also covered by rust.

After soaking off the rust, the rust on the whole sword was far less severe than expected, but there was still a lot of copper rust on it.

Mr. Liu took out a dry cloth, first wiped off all the liquid on the entire sword, and then took out a hard-bristled brush to start brushing.Naturally, the first thing he painted was the sword with inscriptions on it.

Perhaps it was because there was a thick layer of rust on the outside, which blocked the air, so that the copper rust on the sword did not adhere very strongly. Mr. Liu brushed it with a brush for a while, and there was already a little more rust on the desk. Pinch of patina.

Mr. Liu took the magnifying glass, and looked closely at the inscription just printed out, "This character should be a character 'Dong', Lao Cai, come and see if it is the character?"

Cai Yi also leaned over, but he didn't use a magnifying glass, "Well, it's indeed a 'Dong', Old Liu, why don't you brush it hard and remove the copper rust completely, so you can see it clearly?"

Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile and said: "Since the inscription can be recognized, then don't brush the remaining copper rust. The copper rust is also a kind of protection for this sword. It's too late to brush it all off. That's it. , Brush it like this and that’s it.”

As Mr. Liu said, he turned over the sword one by one, and began to brush the inscription on the other side. After a while, he said, "Is this word 'bi' or 'bi'? Lao Cai, come here and palm your eyes." Said Then, Mr. Liu straightened up, beat his waist with his hands and said with a wry smile: "I'm really old! After doing this for a while, my waist can't take it anymore, and my eyes can't work anymore, alas."

Cai Yi leaned up to have a look, then picked up the magnifying glass to look at it, and then said with certainty: "The word is 'bi', 'bi' in jade, not 'bi' in the wall."

"Bi, Dong, Bidong? Dongbi? Dongbi... um... Dongbitang?" Mr. Liu muttered, and finally, he, Cai Yi and Yang Jing said "Dongbitang" almost in unison. These three words.

Old Liu's excited face trembled a little, "This, this, this is Li Shizhen's sword?"

Cai Yi nodded and said, "It's very possible."

Yang Jing then said: "Old Liu, Uncle Cai, I think this should be Li Shizhen's sword. Li Shizhen's name is Dongbi, and after he resigned as an imperial physician, he returned to his hometown and founded Dongbitang. Besides Li Shizhen Other than that, I really can’t think of any other famous person named Dongbi in history.”

Cai Yi shook his head and said, "Yang Zi, just having this reason is not enough. Maybe there are indeed no celebrities with the name Dongbi except Li Shizhen in history, but the folks don't know how many people have the name Dongbi."

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Old Cai, you are wrong! Xiao Yang is right, this sword is very likely to be Li Shizhen's sword. First of all, it is the inscription on the sword. Determine half of the identity of the sword, and then use the gold wire to bind the sword. People who can use gold wire mixed with hemp rope to make ropes to tie money swords were not available to ordinary people in that era. The most important thing is that this is an authentic Taoist sword of heaven and earth, not the money sword used by ordinary people to guard houses, and Li Shizhen happens to be a person with a deep connection with Taoism. It can be said that Li Shizhen is a person without A true Taoist priest!"

Cai Yi didn't understand, and asked, "How do you say that?"

Mr. Liu said: "I once read an article introducing Li Shizhen. There was a paragraph in it saying that Li Shizhen was smart, studious and motivated since she was a child. At a young age, she was determined to obtain fame and glory in the family. At the age of 16, he suddenly suffered from a sudden illness, coughing continuously, and he could not be cured for a long time. When Li Shizhen's parents were sad and desperate, a Taoist priest who wandered here from afar came to the village. This Taoist Bai He has a long beard, and he looks like a fairy. Hearing that the Taoist cures difficult and miscellaneous diseases, Li Shizhen's parents hurriedly invited the Taoist to his home to see a doctor. After the Taoist gave Li Shizhen a pulse number, he said it's okay, it's okay, The disease can be cured by taking one liang of Scutellaria baicalensis, adding two cups of water, decocting until one cup, taking it for half a month. Li Shizhen’s parents dubiously followed the prescription to decoct the medicine, and a miracle happened. After half a month, Li Shizhen’s body heat disappeared completely and her phlegm was profuse. The symptoms of cough also disappeared, and the body gradually recovered. Blind skullcap had an immediate therapeutic effect, which made Li Shizhen feel the magic of Chinese medicine, and admired this Taoist priest with unique skills. From then on, he followed the Taoist assiduously. Study medicine, read ancient medical books, travel all over the mountains and rivers, and finally become a generation of medicine saints."

After a pause, Mr. Liu continued: "In fact, Li Shizhen is not only good at medicine, but also very good at Taoism. It is recorded in history books that Li Shizhen's alchemy is very famous. Therefore, although Li Shizhen has never formally become a Taoist priest, However, his medical and Taoist skills grew up while being taught by Taoists, so it is not an exaggeration to call Li Shizhen a Taoist figure. Moreover, his father Li Yanwen often practiced medicine in Taoist temples. Li and his son have an inseparable relationship with Taoism. The relationship between separation. Li Shizhen often traveled to and from Wudang Taihe Mountain to collect medicines throughout his life, and has a deep connection with the Taoist temples of Wudang Mountain. Moreover, some historical books have mentioned more than once that Li Shizhen's body is equipped with a two-foot Dongbi sword, walking In the mountains, rivers and Daze, tasted all kinds of herbs." And the length, style and name of this sword are consistent with those recorded in the history books, and this Taoist Qiankun magic sword just fits the characteristics of that era and that area , so it is enough to judge that this sword should be the sword of heaven and earth that Li Shizhen used to walk around the world."

Both Cai Yi and Yang Jing looked at Mr. Liu in shock. They had never heard of what Mr. Liu said before. Of course, if what Mr. Liu said is true, then it is enough It is determined that this sword is Li Shizhen's Qiankun Sword.
