Chapter 681 Seven-Star Sword
A picture of a dragon and a fish pulling a cart led to the story of the meeting between two Confucian and Taoist saints, and there were many different opinions for a while. Chen Long had no distinction between Confucianism and Taoism in his mind, so he just listened quietly, biting a few crab legs in his mouth and savoring the taste of lake crabs, and was not in a hurry to speak.
Sima Lang and Wang Chang told some allusions respectively, which were approved by Zheng Xuan, and everyone praised them. Only Song Jian seemed to disapprove. He probably only believed in cold-blooded killing and violent iron fists.
Amidst the praise, the question raised by Zheng Xuan finally boiled down to the meaning of the dragon fish pulling the cart. When two saints meet, who is the dragon and who is the fish? What is the meaning?
Wang Chang's originally proud face calmed down, and he tried to answer first: "According to my humble experience, I always thought that the one pulling the dragon cart was Lao Tzu, and the one pulling the fish cart was Confucius. Those big carp obviously symbolized Confucius' many Apprentices, they are all green carps waiting to leap onto the dragon gate, so they cannot yet be compared with saints."
This is the guess of most people, and it is also a reasonable imagination, but Zheng Xuan was obviously not satisfied and asked: "Then what is the deeper meaning?"
Wang Chang fell silent, obviously not thinking of an answer. Zheng Xuan looked at everyone and saw that everyone was pretending to think. There was silence for a while.
Suddenly someone laughed loudly, with a violent and rude voice, and broke the silence and said: "This kind of question makes people feel bored, you are so far-fetched, why are you so happy?" After saying this, he raised his glass with a "boo", Drink the whole glass of wine in one gulp.
Everyone saw that it was Song Jian, the big boss of Xiliang, and knew that he had a bad temper, so they ignored him. Zheng Xuan smiled and said: "General Song speaks quickly and is indeed a sweetheart."
Song Jian ignored Zheng Xuan's smile, took a lake crab and said: "Lake crab, lake crab, although this painting is good, what does it have to do with your taste? Master Zheng, you said that the question is about lake crab, dragon What does the meaning of a fish pulling a cart have to do with lake crabs?”
After saying that, he placed the lake crabs on the plate, took his right hand out of his pocket, and found a shining short knife in his hand. Everyone's eyes were blurred, and when they looked closely, they saw a sheathed sword in Song Jian's hand. The sheath was just wide and narrow enough to fit in the palm of his hand. It was inlaid with gold and silver, and decorated with glass and diamond-like gems, which made people feel the whole. Shining brightly.
In Chen Long's eyes, the gems inlaid on the scabbard were faintly arranged in a spoon shape, which happened to be the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky. There was a buzz in Chen Long's head, and he immediately began to pay attention. If it is really the imaginary treasure of the Three Kingdoms, it is really a fate given by God.
Seeing that Song Jian had successfully attracted everyone's attention, he drew his sword in triumph, and everyone heard a buzzing sound in their ears. They felt a stream of autumn water flashing in front of their eyes, and the sharp blade drew a lightning-like arc in mid-air. , heavily cutting into the lake crab on the plate. Then there was another soft "click" sound, the sword was returned to its sheath, and the gleaming scabbard was still in front of everyone.
Everyone screamed in surprise, seeing that this knife cut the entire round table in half. The timid guest even stood up suddenly and accidentally knocked over the chair behind him, causing a moment of chaos. Although Chen Long's eyes were sharp, he could not clearly see the shape of the blade. He only felt the seven stars shining in front of his eyes, and there were also the Big Dipper in the light of the sword. It was really a wonderful sword unsheathed.
Chen Long's heart tightened suddenly. If it was really the legendary sword, how could it fall into the hands of Song Jian of Xiliang. unless......
While Chen Long was thinking nervously, Song Jian laughed again, picked up the half-cut lake crab to signal to everyone, then raised the intact plate, and said with a smile: "In this world, whoever has the fastest knife is the answer. ! No matter how hard the crab shell is, I can break its bones and tendons with just one knife!"
It turned out that Song Jian's attack seemed to be extremely heavy, but in fact it was as light as heavy. His sword could cut a lake crab into two ends. He immediately applied an emergency brake and did not damage the plate holding the crab at all. The table below was even more intact. . This sword skill and hand strength can be said to be very perfect, showing Song Jian's superb martial arts and internal strength.
Only then did the guests in the audience understand and couldn't help but applaud. The disciples behind him even applauded Song Jian. Song Jian's move shocked the entire audience. In this chaotic world at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, almost everyone believed that the winner is king. The so-called Confucian culture was just a sheep's clothing wrapped in a jackal, just for the ruler to rule.
Song Jian became more and more proud, and cast a sidelong glance at Ma Yunluan, with a flash of lust in his eyes, as if a rooster and a tiger were inspecting his harem, and already regarded Ma Yunluan as a sure winner. Then he turned to Zheng Xuan and asked: "What do you think of my answer? It is much better than those Confucian scholars! If no one objects, I will accept this painting!"
Zheng Xuan's face was calm, but his eyes darkened. He had seen too much killing and hunger along the way, but he could only talk about etiquette and ruin the music, hoping to wake up the world. But it turns out that the only answer to save the world is a bright blade, and he is willing to suffer death under the blade to defend the dignity of Confucian disciples.
Under Song Jian's lustful power and seeing the sharpness of the sword he carried, the whole place was silent for a while. Although the big guys were not afraid of Song Jian, they were also thinking about whether they should conflict with Song Jian over a painting. We are all wise people here, so naturally we will not compete with reckless people for a moment.
Song Jian sneered a few times, waved his hand, and one of his men stepped forward to collect the painting. Just as he was about to walk to the painting, someone in the seat suddenly said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute."
The voice was low and steady, but it was like a thunder in Song Jian's ears. When he glanced at the crab shell and looked up, he saw a man standing up slowly. He was tall and fit, with a thick, black and majestic appearance, a black beard, and tiger eyes. Crystal clear, it is Lu Shui Huaiyang dressed in Hu clothes. Ma Yunluo's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had known for a long time that someone would take action to stop Song Jian.
Chen Long was thinking about Song Jian's dagger. The purpose of standing up was not to grab the painting, but to bet on the dagger in Song Jian's hand. If the seven-star sword, the most precious treasure of the Three Kingdoms, is really the Seven-Star Sword, there may be a great master that he knows well behind Song Jian, which is also his biggest worry.
The Seven-Star Sword, also known as the "Seven-Star Sword" or the "Seven-Based Sword", is described in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". This sword was originally owned by Situ Wang Yun. When Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, he borrowed the sword from Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo. After the assassination failed, Cao Cao will This sword was dedicated to Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun, the sword returned to Wang Yun's hand. Soon, Dong Zhuo's troops invaded Chang'an and Li Jue was killed. Wang Yun was killed. The sword may have fallen into Li Jue's hands. Later, Li Jue was killed by Cao Cao's troops. Eventually it fell into the hands of Cao Cao.
This assassin's knife was once known as graceful and luxurious. Together with Diao Chan, it was known as the "double jade" of Situ Mansion. It is Wang Yun's house knife!
Now it appears in the hands of Song Jian. The story behind it is thought-provoking!
If Song Jian knew that if he took action with the Seven-Star Sword, he would attract the intervention of the Lord of the Azure Dragon, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life.
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
