Due to the size of the sword and the craftsmanship, the inscriptions on bronze swords are usually very refined, which is different from those of bronze objects engraved with chrome inscriptions. Therefore, bronze swords with chrome inscriptions tend to be of great value, and their meaning is also concise and to the point.

For example, the famous Yue Wang Goujian sword, there are only two lines of bird seal inscriptions on the sword: "Yue Wang Jiuqian (Goujian), since Cha (made) with a sword", which is regarded as an identity certificate of this bronze sword.

Of course, there will also be bronze swords with up to forty-two chrome inscriptions, but this type of bronze sword is very rare.

The bronze sword that Hu Niu found was neither long nor short, with ten words before and after, and it was presented in front of Lin Haoran at this moment.

Lin Haoran's gaze fell on the paper, and he silently read it out and said: "Shu Warlock Chang Hong, use it for its own purpose"

"Chang Hong? Who is it? ”

Lin Haoran was slightly puzzled at first, but his eyes immediately widened, and his heart beat strongly.

"Chang Hong?"

Kang Wanrong was also curious, waved his head and glanced at it, his face first showed a look of confusion, but then his mouth opened slightly, and he looked at Sun Jixiang next to him in disbelief.

Although the two of them don't know much about the so-called warlocks, this one Chang Hong is really too famous. In the metaphor of the eternal injustice, in addition to "June Flying Snow", there is also "Changhong Huabi".

Chang Hong is a wise man who "uses magic to serve the king of Zhou", a native of Zizhou in Shu during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and a doctor under Liu Wengong, the minister of King Jing of Zhou and King Jing of Zhou, and was the teacher of Confucius.

During the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the "Liuqing Rebellion" occurred in the Jin Kingdom, and Chang Hong secretly gave advice to Liu Wengong's in-law Fan in order to achieve the purpose of weakening the strength of the Jin State and assisting the Zhou royal family.

After the civil strife subsided, Zhao Ying, the Jin Qing, used this as an excuse to conquer the royal family. King Jing of Zhou relied on the support of the Jin State to ascend to the throne, and he was forced to kill Chang Hong under pressure in order to calm the people and curry favor with the Jin State.

The loyal Chang Hong eventually became a victim of politics and was ordered by King Jing of Zhou to cut out his intestines.

For such a loyal and wronged minister, the people were endowed with some mythological colors. According to legend, some Shu people collected Chang Hong's blood and put it in a bottle, and three years later, they turned their blood into jasper, that is, "Chang Hong turned into bi".

"Zhuangzi Foreign Things": "The lord does not want the loyalty of his ministers, and loyalty may not be believed, so the soldiers flow in the river, Chang Hong died in Shu, hiding his blood for three years, and turned into blue." ”

"Historical Records: Feng Zen Book": "It is the time when Chang Hong is the king of Zhou Ling, the princes Mo Chao Zhou, Zhou Li Shao, Chang Hong is a ghost and god of the Ming Dynasty, and he is set up to shoot the head." The one who is the head of the princes will not come. According to the strange desires of the princes. The princes did not obey, and the Jin people killed Chang Hong. The words of the Zhou people are self-congratulatory. ”

Han Liu An's "Huainanzi Commentary": "Chang Hong, the number holder of the Zhou room, the qi of heaven and earth, the travel of the sun and the moon, the changes of wind and rain, and the art of the legal calendar, are all-encompassing. ”

……

It turns out that once a person becomes famous, many things full of magic will be imposed on him, and by the time he arrives in this dynasty, he is already one of the most powerful Taoist priests in history.

Therefore, there is a book record: "From time to time, there is Chang Hong, which can cause miracles." Wang Nai took the stage, looking at the clouds and gloomy, and suddenly saw the two of them coming by the clouds, and their hair was yellow, not rumors and the like. Take the dragon and the phoenix, and ride the green mantle...... Therefore, the Zhou people killed him with Chang Hong's luck, bleeding into stones, or words into blue, and did not see his corpse. ”

In addition, Chang Hong is also Lao Tzu's younger brother and one of Confucius's teachers, and there are few scholars in the world who dare to slander Chang Hong.

"Really...... Chang Hong's sword? Lin Haoran gasped, his eyes left the words on the paper, and he looked up at Sun Jixiang and asked very seriously.

Sun Jixiang knew that it was not that Lin Haoran couldn't believe him, but that this matter was too big, so he nodded solemnly and said: "In order to make sure that I am not mistaken, I have found three people one after another, and they all have this answer!" ”

Kang Wanrong swallowed and foamed, and looked at Lin Haoran with surprise and joy.

"God help me!" Lin Haoran clenched his fists and slammed them on the table, his eyes looked bright, and a long-lost ecstasy surged in his heart.

This was originally a bronze sword, but I never expected it to be the sword of Chang Hong, a warlock and loyal minister in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Anyone who gets involved with Taoism will undoubtedly increase its effect by a hundredfold, and the reward in exchange for it will inevitably be very expensive.

You must know that those who have anything to do with Taoism will have the most generous rewards.

Yan Song and other ministers who presented green words entered the cabinet, Wang Bai's official residence with ambergris incense went to Guangdong to make political envoys and deputy envoys to Guangdong Patrol Channel, and Shao Wenjie, Tao Zhongwen and others who presented pills were even dressed in cloth and first-class robes.

In particular, last year's fire burned the treasures that Jiajing had collected for many years, and now the saint is even more "hungry" for the treasures, and is even ready to send officials to the branch to visit the priests and the secretary of the talisman.

"Dong Weng, I don't recommend that you dedicate this sword to the emperor!" Sun Jixiang's brows furrowed slightly, and he proposed seriously.

When Lin Haoran heard this, he smiled and said, "Who said that I dedicated it to the emperor?" ”

Kang Wanrong was slightly stunned and looked at Lin Haoran in confusion. This is such a treasure, such an opportunity to be favored by the Holy One, why not grasp it, but give it to others?

"Dong Weng is a visionary, but I am too worried!" Sun Jixiang found out that it was really a misunderstanding, and immediately appeared happy to confess the crime.

Lin Haoran explained some affairs, and asked Sun Jixiang and Kang Wanrong to deal with some incidents, although it was not yet the time of the unitary, but he walked out of the Shuntian Mansion directly.

Out of the gate of the palace, he drove up Xizhimen Street in a carriage and went straight to the south of the city.

The city of Beijing is very large, and Xizhimen Street has always been very lively. Even if Lin Haoran took a carriage to go, when he arrived at Xiaoyongfang, the sunset had already set in the west, dyeing the city with a layer of gold.

Huaishu Hutong, Wu Mansion.

Although there were no means of communication in this era, there were many cheap people to call on. Lin Haoran sent Lin Fu to find Wu Shan in advance, saying that he had something important to discuss, and hoped that Wu Shan could meet him immediately.

When he got out of the carriage, Wu Shan's sedan chair also happened to appear at the mouth of the alley, so he didn't need to wait stupidly somewhere.

Although Wu Shan served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the second grade, he was crowned with the title of prince and Taibao, so he was wearing a first-grade official uniform. That face was handsome and square, and he didn't smile harshly, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of taels, but the whole person looked very official.

"The student has seen the teacher!"

Lin Haoran came to the front of the sedan chair, and because he had not yet married Wu Qiuyu, he chose to adhere to the teacher-student etiquette.

"Let's go inside!"

Wu Shan glanced at Lin Haoran, said lightly, and walked inside. It's not that he doesn't pay enough attention to Lin Haoran, in essence, he does this to everyone.
