Two Hundred Dollars, Let Your Funeral Have A Mysterious Past

Chapter 104: The ancient magic weapon appears! The past that has been forgotten for many years!

"Sword King Temple?" When Zheng Jian heard the name, the expression on his face immediately became confused.

The title Sword King...he had never heard of it.

On the contrary, you can hear about sword gods, sword immortals and the like in history.

But those are from other dynasties!

Ma Heng was also confused: "Were there any famous swordsmen in the Tang Dynasty? Can they still be called sword kings?"

Zheng Jian shook his head: "But one thing that can be confirmed now is that this statue is definitely not Li Bai's, it may be someone else's."

Ma Heng also nodded.

Li Bai is called the Immortal of Poetry by the world, but in terms of swordsmanship, Li Bai is not his strong point.

Moreover, even if one really wanted to enshrine Li Bai, he would never use the title King of Swords.

Li Bai can't be called a sword king at all.

"But no matter what, digging here is much more valuable than digging Li Bai's tomb." Ma Heng added.

Zheng Jian nodded in agreement.

Excavating the tomb of a historical celebrity is a relatively important matter, but in general, most historical celebrities are almost the same as those recorded in official history.

Naturally, there is not so much mystery.

But it would be of great significance to excavate the ancestral halls or ruins of people who have not been recorded in official history.

This can fill the vacancy of a dynasty and also complete that period of history that is unknown to modern people.

With excitement and excitement, Zheng Jian and Ma Heng, together with the remaining archaeological team members, walked towards the "Sword King Temple".

Arriving in front of the ancestral hall, everyone present could not help but widen their eyes when they saw the plaque.

The font is also written in regular script unique to the Tang Dynasty.

But the strokes are vigorous and powerful, and the strokes are swift and fierce, as if they contain some extremely strong sword intent.

Different from the handwriting of a man of letters, it is obvious at a glance that this plaque must have been written by a top swordsman.

Because this kind of strokes and this sharp edge cannot be imitated by literati.

After reading the plaque, Zheng Jian and Ma Heng looked at each other.

Then, the two of them stretched out their hands together, put them together, then faced the "Sword King Temple" and bowed to salute.

The surrounding archaeological team members also 343 wrote about the two people's actions, shooting themselves and saluting.

This is not because they are superstitious, nor is it because they are afraid of something strange happening inside.

This is just a kind of respect for the ruins and the ancients as an archaeologist.

"Let's go in and have a look."

After completing all these actions, Zheng Jian said solemnly and walked along the steps towards the "Sword King Temple".

Behind him, Ma Heng and a group of archaeological team members followed closely.

Once entering the ancestral hall.

There is nothing weird about the ancestral hall. There is a courtyard in the middle. There is a huge furnace in the courtyard, which is filled with incense ashes.

There are wing rooms on both sides of the yard. The room directly opposite is the largest room and is also the place for worship.

However, as soon as you enter this ancestral hall, there seems to be a strong sense of swordsmanship everywhere.

Zheng Jian led a group of archaeological team members and first went to take a look at the wing rooms on both sides.

Inside is a partial record.

The sword king died here, and how he was during his lifetime.

Then there are various sword styles hanging on the wall, as well as some simple introductions.

There are also some swordsmen who are not well-known in history, leaving their swords and inscriptions here.

There are no important records in the rooms on both sides. They are all very messy records and do not have much reference value.

Then, a group of archaeological team members walked into the place of worship.

Cross the threshold.

What comes into view is right in front, a platform used for worship, with a clay statue enshrined on it.

The clay statue is full of cracks, but it is lifelike, as if it were a living person.

Its appearance and face are all the same as the statue standing outside the "Sword King Temple".

In front of the clay statue is a sword carved from stone. This sword is inserted in front of the statue and stands in front of everyone, as if it is watching them and warning them.

"There seems to be (ccci) carved patterns on the top of this sword..." Ma Heng looked at the stone sword with sharp eyes and squinted.

Then, step forward.

Zheng Jian and others also followed closely behind.

Come to the stone carved sword and look at the patterns on it.

The expressions of Ma Heng and Zheng Jian gradually became serious, and their eyes were filled with horror.

"The carving on one side of this sword... looks like the sun, moon and stars?" Ma Heng looked at Zheng Jian and said with slightly narrowed pupils.

Zheng Jian did not answer immediately, but walked around to one side and looked at the back of the sword carefully.

Before Zheng Jian finishes reading,

Ma Heng exclaimed again: "What is carved on the hilt of this sword is the art of farming and raising livestock! Old Zheng, what is carved on the other side!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jian's heart was shocked, and his long-lasting love became even weirder.

When Zheng Jian saw the carved patterns on the back of the sword, Zheng Jian's eyes were already filled with astonishment.

"On this side, the carvings on the sword... seem to be mountains, rivers and vegetation... the carvings on the hilt... the carvings on the sword are the unified policy of the whole world!"

hiss

Suddenly.

As the words of the two people came out.

The archaeological team members present all had shocked looks on their faces, their pupils were trembling, and their mouths could not help but open wide.

As archaeologists, they know history and cultural relics very well.

This sword has patterns carved on both sides of its body and hilt, which is rare in history.

And to be able to satisfy it, one side of the sword is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, the other side is engraved with mountains, rivers and vegetation, one side of the hilt is engraved with the art of farming and breeding, and the other side is engraved with the sword of forty commanders...

Throughout the ages, there is only one sword that meets all the above requirements!

"Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword...how...how could it be placed here?"

"This... this should be just an imitation of carving, right? But... isn't this sword used by the Yellow Emperor?"

"It's because it's the Yellow Emperor...it's used by the Yellow Emperor, but it's also a legendary sword!"

"Who has such great ability... dares to carve out this sword and put it here... Could it be that this Sword King Temple is dedicated to this sword?"

"But, this is unreasonable. Build a Sword King Temple just to enshrine this sword? What about the statues outside and inside? Are they the sword keepers? But why do they look like... This man, this sword is his sword..."

The archaeological team members talked a lot. They completely ignored the shock in front of them and just told the most surprising part in their hearts.

And aside.

Ma Heng and Zheng Jian looked at each other in the air, and both saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, these are ten swords that only exist in legends.

Legend has it that the gods opened mountains, took the essence of heaven and earth, and used them to forge magical weapons for the Yellow Emperor to use against Chi You.

But such a sword, even though it is just a carved sword, is placed here for worship.

The main thing is that this sword is obviously not the protagonist. The person with the statue is the protagonist of this Sword King Temple, right?

"Who is this person enshrined in the Sword King Temple? Can this person use the Xuanyuan Xia Yu sword?" Zheng Jian stuttered.

Ma Heng shook his head quickly: "No, it can't be? Let's not talk about whether the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword really exists. Even if it does exist, who dares to use it? Who is qualified to use it? The people enshrined in the Sword King Temple

How much ability do you need to use this sword? And build a temple to worship it?"

Ma Heng grunted and swallowed: "This... This shows that everyone in the world recognizes his achievements and feels that only he is worthy of using this sword."

"But throughout the ages, even Qin Shihuang... is not qualified to use this sword, right?"

The words fell.

Everyone present was immersed in this huge shock.

Their consciousness has naturally been substituted into all the ministers in front of them.

Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, mysterious statues, and the Sword King Temple are filled with swordsmanship everywhere.

No matter how you look at it, he is not an ordinary person who can accept these mysterious statues enshrined here.

But such a person should have played a very important role in history.

However, Zheng Jian, as an in-depth excavator of ancient tombs of the Tang Dynasty, and Ma Heng, as an in-depth researcher of the history of the Tang Dynasty, have not heard of such a person in any ancient books, official history records, or even unofficial records. Never seen it either.

This was very strange, and also very surprising to them.

"You said... this Sword King Temple existed a long time ago, but it was excavated during the Tang Dynasty, and then the people of the dynasty renovated it..." Ma Heng asked tentatively.

Zheng Jian raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully: "So this Sword King Temple looks like the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty?"

Ma Heng nodded heavily.

Zheng Jian pondered for a moment and shook his head: "Probably not... Even if it was renovated in the Tang Dynasty, it should be renovated according to the original architectural style, rather than pushed to reconstruction."

"Then if the local officials did it deliberately, in order to show that a sword king appeared here, they deliberately knocked down the discovered monument and rebuilt it to make people mistakenly think it was the sword king of the Tang Dynasty. Then they reported it to the current court. Ministers, Your Majesty, how can you benefit from the encirclement?" Ma Heng analyzed again.

Hearing this, Zheng Jian nodded slightly: "It is possible...but it doesn't seem to be so reasonable..."

As he spoke, Zheng Jian raised his head and looked at the backyard of the Sword King Temple. As he walked towards the backyard, he said: "Let's go to the backyard to take a look first. Maybe we can make some new discoveries...

"Well, I hope... I hope there are some records in the backyard, at least to let us know who this ancestral hall was built for, right?" Ma Heng murmured.

Finished.

Under the leadership of the two people, the Japanese archaeological team walked towards the backyard.

Not long after.

Wait until you arrive in the backyard.

All the archaeologists were shocked when they saw the scene in the backyard.

It is different from the previous place of worship.

Compared to the front yard, this backyard is a completely different scene.

A large courtyard. In the center of the courtyard, there is a coffin made of stone. There is a wine gourd on the coffin and a sword. This sword is exactly the same as the Xuanyuan Xia Yu sword enshrined in the front yard. It is also covered with Carved patterns.

Next to the coffin, a young man wearing sackcloth and mourning was holding a coffin in his hand, leaning on the coffin as if wailing.

On one side of the coffin stood an old man, dressed in mourning clothes.

On the other side, there were four old people standing with different expressions on their faces, but the clothes on their bodies were all mourning clothes.

Far away from the coffin.

There are three people in a row.

The one closest to everyone was a one-armed old man wearing a sheep fur. Next to him was a middle-aged swordsman holding a sword in one hand and saluting with the other.

The person on the far right is an old man with long hair floating in the wind, and his clothes are moving in the wind. He has a sense of immortality. What is different from the two statues is that this last old man has a statue under his feet. There was a sword, and there seemed to be stone sculptures like auspicious clouds around it.

But what the three statues have in common is that they all face the coffin and bow in salute, as if they are worshiping the coffin and the person in the coffin.

See this scene.

The expressions of everyone present have undergone tremendous changes.

"This...why does it look like a funeral? They all came here to worship. Could it be...that the person in the coffin is the owner of the Sword King Temple?" Zheng Jian murmured. said

His eyes were filled with astonishment. .
