"sword?"
"Is there pressure?"
"what are you talking about!"
"You have too much imagination. This ancient sword is just an ordinary cultural relic. What's so special about it? It can scare away black bears, but even guns can't!"
Everyone looked at the sword box with different expressions, feeling baffled. Although the sword fell off just now, it was unreasonable to scare the black bear away.
The assistant said extremely firmly: "Really, it's definitely because of the sword! I was close, and I felt that the moment the sword was unsheathed, there was an indescribable aura filling the air, which shocked the black bear. Let us escape."
Everyone didn't believe in evil, so they took the sword box and looked at it for a long time, but they didn't find anything strange. Even the assistant was confused. In the end, because this was a cultural relic and could not be played with at will, I gave up research.
But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Professor Song seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes fell on the box containing the sword.
He thought of the feeling of gaze before, but finally shook his head. It was just a weapon, how could it have eyes?
Maybe it really is an illusion.
At the right time, the sound of hurried footsteps was heard not far away. It was the police who rushed over after receiving the call.
While they were on the road, they happened to encounter a black bear entering the mountains, but in the end only an afterimage was left. It was unclear whether it was full or something, which immediately gave the police a bad feeling.
But when the police rushed over, they were relieved to find that the people in the research center were intact and there were no casualties.
"Professor Song, are you okay?"
Song An and others shook their heads and finally felt a sense of security after seeing the police.
"It's okay, that black bear ran away by itself."
"Ran?"
The policemen looked at each other, a little confused, "What is this?"
After a few words of explanation, the policemen were puzzled. Logically speaking, since the black bear took the initiative to attack, it would definitely not give up easily.
Especially what Professor Song said about the black bear kneeling down and then running away is even more unbelievable.
If it weren't for Professor Song's serious face, they would almost think that the people at the research center were joking with them.
But everyone's faces were pale, and they looked like they were surviving a disaster. They didn't look like they were lying, and so many people present could see it.
For a moment, the police didn't know what to say. Anyway, as long as the person was fine.
"I'm really sorry, Professor Song. We checked before and found that there are no traces of any large beasts around here. This black bear should have come from other mountains."
Faced with the police's apology, Professor Song said it didn't matter, and this kind of thing cannot be predicted by humans.
"Fortunately, there were no casualties. We plan to take some of the cultural relics back to the capital first. I will leave it to you to handle the rest."
The policemen nodded, "This is natural."
After the black bear incident, the police did not dare to take it lightly and dispatched police officers to station here to protect the safety of the remaining archaeological staff to avoid similar incidents happening again.
Professor Song led others and most of the excavated cultural relics back to the capital.
At noon that day, after returning to the research center in the capital, Professor Song and others had a good sleep.
Around four or five o'clock in the afternoon, everyone gathered and started working busier than at the riverbed ruins, spinning almost like a top.
Many cultural relics have been unearthed from the ancient temple. Whether it is restoration or research, it is a relatively large project.
Zhi Dun's bones were also cleaned and enshrined by special personnel.
This batch of cultural relics is relatively important. They are all items related to Buddhism during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. They are of great research value for the history of that time and the development of Buddhism.
But these were all put aside by Professor Song, his eyes focused on the ancient sword.
As early as the ruins of the ancient temple, Professor Song wanted to unlock the secrets inside the ancient sword, but the conditions and equipment at the time were limited, so he could only hold back.
Now that he has arrived at the Capital Archaeological Research Center, the first thing he does is study ancient swords.
It was carried with him by the eminent monk and was not even left next to him when he was sitting and passing away. This shows how much he attaches importance to this thing.
What is the reason that makes the eminent monk treat the ancient sword differently, and what kind of secret is there?
Professor Song couldn't help but think of the weird black bear and the words of his assistant, which made Professor Song even more impatient.
Wearing gloves, he took out the ancient sword from the box and carefully pulled it out of the scabbard. He moved gently, as if handling some rare treasure.
"Kacha——"
Along with the friction sound of the scabbard, everyone subconsciously held their breath and watched Professor Song's movements intently.
Although the box had been dropped earlier and the scabbard of the ancient sword had also fallen off, they had experienced the black bear crisis at that time and no one was in the mood to observe what the ancient sword looked like.
Now I can finally see clearly.
The black sword body appeared in their field of vision, with a somewhat primitive and powerful feeling. As the scabbard left, it became clearer little by little.
It seems like a thousand-year-old ink painting scroll is slowly unfolding in front of everyone.
Although there are flaws on the sword, they are precious traces left over by the years.
The swords of the Wei and Jin Dynasties had a much wider sheath and a rectangular or inverted trapezoid shape. The sides of the sword were more protruding, with sharp edges, and were flat and long in W and M shapes. The middle of the hilt was sharply tapered, thick at the back and thin at the front.
But the sword in front of me can still be seen as sharp and thin even after so long.
It is very heavy in the hand, and the overall shape is simple and graceful. The length of the sword's ridge is parallel to the two blades, and it is sharp at the tip. The thick grid is in the shape of an undercut, and the round stem has two hoops.
"That's not right!"
The more everyone looked at it, the more strange it seemed. Many weapons from the Wei and Jin Dynasties had been unearthed before, and they were completely different from the ancient sword in their hands.
No matter in terms of shape or material, it does not conform to the style of the time, and compared with other unearthed cultural relics, there is no similarity.
An impossible guess emerged in everyone's mind.
The excitement and excitement on Professor Song An's face were replaced by confusion and surprise.
There was silence in the air, and he fell into silence looking at the ancient sword in front of him.
"Why do I feel like this doesn't look like a sword from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but more like..."
The person who said this felt that his throat was extremely dry, and he couldn't say the next sentence because the answer was really ridiculous.
How could Professor Song, who was well versed in history, fail to see this and added what he had not finished.
"It looks like it's from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"
"We previously excavated ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period and unearthed a lot of bronze utensils like this. There are not many swords among them, but most of them are similar. Quick, take a closer look."
The moment the words fell, the entire audience fell silent.
The Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were thousands of years apart!
They actually discovered a bronze sword from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period among the historical relics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
Unless there is an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods here, because the two overlap, it is not surprising that there are bronzes.
Didn't you find that when the escape team was building the temple?
However, although this situation is relatively rare, it does not exist in the archaeological world.
However, with so many cultural relics unearthed in the ancient temple, there are no items from other periods, so the possibility of overlap can almost be ruled out.
"Could it be a forgery by later generations?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out, but during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people preferred items from the Western Jin Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period. The Spring and Autumn Period is almost a thousand years old from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so there are still relatively few counterfeit items."
Dun has devoted himself to studying Buddhism and doesn't pay much attention to these things. If someone gives them to him, he should be doing what he likes, giving them scriptures, Buddha statues and the like.
Who would give a sharp weapon to an eminent monk?
When I think about it, this gift seems outrageous.
Moreover, there is no record in later generations that Zhi Dun liked bronzes. All this is not logical at all.
During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the steel filling method was invented, which allowed hard and flexible steel to be widely popularized. The weapons made by this method were tough and sharp, and iron wares were more durable and sharper than bronze wares.
Therefore, most weapons at that time were made of iron, and there were very few bronze weapons.
But if Zhi Dun didn't like it, why did he take this ancient bronze sword with him when he died and died? It even came from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Someone couldn't have put it on it after his death?
People at the archaeological center were discussing this a lot, and many doubts emerged in their minds.
The origin of the ancient sword seems to have become a mystery.
Professor Song took a magnifying glass and turned the ancient sword over and over to study. He soon discovered a row of small characters on the hilt of the ancient sword and where the sword body met.
Astonishingly, it was written in bird seal script!
Bird seal script is a type of seal script in which the strokes are replaced by bird shapes. It not only has a unique decorative style, but also has profound symbolic meaning.
The use of flying birds in the book expresses a way of being a human being that was highly praised by the ancient Chinese. Migratory birds watch over winter and send letters to spring. "Letter" is the meaning of bird seal script.
This small font is shaped like a bird's claw mark and looks very elegant.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, swords were not used for fighting, but more as a decorative item, a status symbol, or even an ornament.
But swords, because they were made of copper, were extremely rare and precious during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and ordinary people were obviously not qualified to own them.
Therefore, the name of the sword owner is usually engraved on such a sword to show his identity.
If there were still doubts about the origin of this sword before, it might be a forgery of later generations.
However, after everyone's research, judging from the casting process and shape of this sword, it is definitely from the Warring States period.
Looking at these words now, I am even more certain that this is indeed a cultural relic from the Warring States Period!
Although it had been somewhat blurred by water erosion, after some restoration, the content of this line of small characters was finally explained.
【Jinghe Yiweng'er! 】
Looking at the recovered words, everyone was a little confused. According to the understanding of the archaeological community, it is normal for the swords of the Warring States period to be inscribed. Even the sword of King Goujian of Yue was engraved with "King Jiuqian of Yue, he made his own sword".
But what do the words on this sword mean? Without leaving any names, it seems like self-deprecation?
"What does it mean?"
"It's not even a name."
"Why does it sound like you're laughing at yourself?"
Professor Song An read it for a moment and then explained: "If translated, I think it should be 'The Old Man Punting on the Jing River'."
Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood, but they couldn't help but feel even more strange.
"Is it possible that the original owner of this sword was an old man?"
"Could he be a punter?"
"How rare is this? The old punter also has a sword?"
If such a sentence can be engraved on it, no matter whether the old punting man is the sword master or not, it must be inextricably related to this sword.
The original owner of this sword can put it aside first. The key is where did Zhi Dun obtain this ancient sword that spanned thousands of years?
Why do you cherish it so much?
Countless doubts surround Professor Song and others, but there are currently no clues. They can only continue to clean up the cultural relics, hoping to obtain some information.
As Professor Song An and others were busy day and night, the news quickly spread throughout the Kyoto Archaeological Center.
"I heard that Professor Song and the others brought back an ancient bronze sword from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods from the relics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."
"This ancient sword was still owned by the eminent monk Zhidun. It was kept by his side when he passed away."
"What?! There is such a strange thing."
"It's really strange. There must be a thousand years difference between the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Where did this sword come from? How did Master Zhi Dun obtain it?"
"Professor Song and the others are busy investigating, and we don't know what the final result will be, but this period of history is obviously very meaningful to dig into!"
The staff of the research center were talking about this. One was an eminent monk from thousands of years ago, and the other was an ancient sword that was older than the eminent monk.
Logically speaking, the two can be said to be incompatible with each other, but Professor Song and the others happened to run into each other. This mystery that had been buried for thousands of years almost kept everyone awake at night.
But after two days, there are still no clues. According to how much Zhi Dun cherishes this sword, some records should be left. However, after looking through history books and documents, there is no record that Zhi Dun has such an ancient bronze sword around him. It's incredible.
The black sword body is like a ghost. Looking at the entire archaeological world, there are rare strange things, shrouding the entire archaeological center in a cloud of doubt.
Since Zhi Dun had no clues, everyone had no choice but to focus on Gu Jian.
In fact, this ancient bronze sword itself is not particularly important. There are many unearthed bronzes that are older than it. If it does not have special historical significance, it cannot be regarded as a rare treasure and can only be rated as a first-class one. Cultural relics are pretty good.
But the important thing is that it is now closely related to Master Zhidun. There must be an unknown history in it, which makes it intriguing.
At least we need to figure out the origin of the ancient sword, or what's mysterious about it, so that Zhi Dun can look at it in a new light.
Now, apart from knowing that it comes from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the only clue is that line of small characters.
'Jinghe Yiweng'er'.
This passage is actually not difficult to explain, and it is very pointed. Therefore, before this, some manpower has been allocated to investigate the origin of the ancient sword.
On this day, the good news came.
"Professor Song! There is a new clue!"
The assistant hurried over, holding a lot of information in his hand, "After investigation, we found that the Jing River does exist, and this river has a great background."
Professor Song was surprised. Looking at the information handed over by his assistant, his expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
Jinghe has gone through thousands of years of changes. To be precise, it should be called Anhe now.
After a large amount of information and research, it can be proved that the predecessor of Anhe is Jinghe, which is on the border of Chu State, and this is also the birthplace of the allusion of carving a boat and seeking a sword.
"Professor Song, I wonder if you have read about the historical myths that are widely circulated on the Internet? It is the allusion of carving a boat to ask for a sword. Later, some history enthusiasts investigated on the Internet and found that the protagonist of the allusion was actually an old man who punted. …”
Professor Song showed a puzzled expression, "Historical nonsense?"
Although Professor Song and others are also engaged in historical research, there are many types of research and different directions. In addition, Professor Song is old and does not use the Internet much.
So I didn't know about the previously heated matter, but now I heard the assistant explain it carefully, and now I know the reason.
"I didn't expect there to be such a secret here."
After hearing the twists and turns of the story, Professor Song was filled with emotion.
The assistant also sighed with emotion, "Yes, who would have thought that the idiom story we are familiar with has another version, which completely overturns our previous understanding."
"So the Jing River in this story is the Jing River engraved on the sword?"
Professor Song thoughtfully said that based on the historical conditions of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it should be impossible for a second Jing River to appear.
Moreover, there are keywords such as "Old Man Punting" on the sword. When I think of the later story about carving a boat to find a sword...
Professor Song was surprised: "Could it be that the owner of this sword is the old punting man?!"
Subsequently, people from the Archaeological Center checked a large amount of information and even contacted the netizen who originally published the opinion and learned his true identity.
He is actually a young man named 'Qi Xueqing'. He is also a historical research major with very good grades. He is also under the tutelage of a famous teacher. His teacher is not ordinary and he has made great achievements in the industry.
Professor Song consulted Qi Xueqing's teacher again, and after getting some answers, his doubts were completely gone.
I originally thought it was just an ordinary ancient bronze sword, but I didn't expect that after digging into it, I found a related idiom and allusion.
And in this allusion, there is actually a layer of historical fog shrouded in it.
For a time, not only did everyone's doubts not diminish, but they deepened.
"Professor Song, is this ancient bronze sword really the sword in Kezhouqiu Sword?"
Facing the student's inquiry, the wrinkles between Professor Song's brows could almost kill a mosquito. He sighed and said, "It's hard to say."
Although the ancient sword is engraved with the words "Jinghe Yiweng'er", and the story of carving a boat and seeking a sword happened to happen in Jinghe, these are just speculations of the archaeological center, and there is currently no concrete evidence to prove it.
"The time and place are correct. Maybe this is really the sword that fell into the river in the idiom?"
"Then the question is, in this idiom story, it is not stated in the end whether the old man fished out the sword. How did this sword fall into the hands of Master Zhi Dun?"
"That's not right. You also said it was an idiom story. We have no way of knowing what happened next. Maybe it was salvaged by someone, but there is no record of it."
"But these are all our speculations. Why did this sword end up in the hands of Master Zhidun? Why is it so important? There are still no clues and it still needs to be investigated."
After going around and around, he returned to the starting point. Even if he understood the origin of the ancient sword, he still couldn't explain why it appeared in Zhi Dun's hand.
Whether the ancient bronze sword is the sword in the story of Carving a Boat and Seeking a Sword has no way to be studied, but according to current clues, the two are inextricably linked.
It wasn't until evening that the busy day of work ended and the staff dispersed one after another.
late at night.
There is no one inside the research center. The staff have all gone to rest. Some have gone home and some are living in dormitories.
"Da da da--"
The footsteps of patrol officers came from the empty corridor. Seeing that there were no suspicious people around, he checked the equipment and showed that everything was running well, so he left with peace of mind.
It was late at night, and fog began to form at some point, gradually covering the cultural relics storage room.
The ancient sword was placed on the shelf. At this moment, it was trembling slightly, and there was a vague buzzing sound. The mist suddenly set off ripples, just like the ripples of the long river of time, engulfing the sword body bit by bit.
It seems that it does not belong to this time and space, and is now being erased by time and space.
As time goes by, the fog slowly dissipates, and with it the ancient sword of the Warring States Period...
The night passed.
The sky gradually showed a fish-belly white color, and at seven o'clock in the morning, footsteps could be heard one after another in the archaeological center.
Because we are so busy recently, everyone consciously goes to work early.
The assistant was the first person to arrive at the cultural relics storage room because he had to get information for Professor Song.
"Huh?"
But inadvertently looking out of the corner of my eye, I always felt like something was missing.
After looking around carefully, the assistant was stunned. Looking at the empty glass display case, his expression turned extremely ugly.
"Why is the ancient bronze sword missing?"
The assistant ran out in a panic and happened to meet Professor Song discussing with several members of the research institute about ancient bronze swords and carving boats for swords.
"What's wrong, Xiao Li?"
"Sorry, Professor Song, the ancient bronze sword is missing!"
Everyone's expressions changed, "What do you mean by missing?"
Assistant Li spoke in a panic and incoherently, "I don't know what happened. When I went to get the things as you asked, I found that the ancient bronze sword in the cabinet was gone."
"How can this be!"
Everyone hurried over. The ancient bronze sword was originally placed in a glass cabinet with anti-theft measures.
But now, as the assistant said, it was empty.
"Is it possible that we were robbed?!"
"If it was a thief, it would be impossible to steal only this one thing. All the other cultural relics are still here."
"Could it be that I accidentally put it somewhere else?"
Everyone searched around the research institute but could not find the whereabouts of the ancient bronze sword. Even the security guards were called over to inquire.
"There was nothing abnormal last night. I checked everything and everything is running normally."
I didn't get any useful information from the security guard, and Professor Song's face looked a little ugly.
There are other cultural relics placed here in the room, and they have not been lost. Even the bones of Zhidun are safe and sound.
If you are a thief, it seems unreasonable to only take this one. There are many things more valuable than this ancient sword!
Moreover, the security system of the institute is very advanced. Everyone who enters the research center must swipe their fingerprints and undergo pupil recognition authentication. Ordinary people cannot enter at all.
There are people patrolling every night. Logically speaking, the chance of theft is very small. Since the establishment of the institute, no similar situation has happened.
Unless it was brought in by an insider, Professor Song looked at the entry and exit records and found that there had been no outsiders visiting recently.
If there is a thief, it can only mean that the thief comes from within them.
As for why he didn't take other things but only the ancient bronze sword, maybe it was because it had a special origin and was related to historical allusions. He thought it would be profitable, so he decided to take the risk?
Although this logic is relatively rigid, it is the only possibility at present.
Professor Song gathered all the people in the research center together and looked around their faces, looking a little ugly.
"The research center has been established for so long, and nothing like this has ever happened! Someone is actually watching over it!"
"The archaeologists actually stole the cultural relics! It's a big joke! If word spread, it will make people laugh out loud, and it will make people question the authority of the Kyoto Archaeological Center!"
Professor Song's chest was rising and falling, showing that he was very angry. If this incident spread, it would be a stain, and the reputation of the Kyoto Research Center would be ruined!
He took a deep breath and said, "You also know the stakes of this matter. This is a serious crime! I will give that person another chance and hand over the things on my own initiative. I can consider it at my discretion and will not even call the police. Don't leave because of You took a wrong turn once and ruined yourself for the rest of your life!"
The moment the words fell, others couldn't help but whisper.
"Who is stealing cultural relics? I really can't believe it. No outsiders have come in recently. They must be our internal people. It is a disgrace to the research center."
"No, no wonder Professor Song is so angry."
"While Professor Song is still willing to give you a chance, whoever stole it should come forward immediately. Don't make things too ugly."
"There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the research center. It's impossible to hide everything."
Everyone whispered among themselves for a while, but no one stood up.
Professor Song's face darkened little by little, "Very good. If that's the case, then we can only adjust the monitoring. Then don't blame me for being unkind."
He didn't want to make the matter a big deal and spread the word, which would bring bad reputation to the research center, but the man didn't seem to shed tears until he saw the coffin.
Soon, the surveillance was called out, but at this time, no one came forward.
Unless that person has extraordinary means and can destroy the surveillance, his identity will soon be revealed.
The surveillance was projected on the big screen, and everyone watched intently, wanting to see who this daring person was.
But as the footage progressed, the surveillance video never showed any suspicious persons approaching the room.
Even if someone entered, it would be Professor Song and the others, and they would have nothing in their hands. They would not be able to bring the ancient bronze sword out and transfer it without carrying anything.
The picture accelerated until early in the morning. There was no one in the monitor, not even a ghost.
The room was quiet, without any changes, and the ancient bronze sword stayed well in the glass display case. If it weren't for the change of time in the lower right corner, everyone would have thought that this was a still scene.
However, just after midnight, the picture suddenly became a little blurry!
Professor Song frowned, "What's going on?"
The leader of the security department replied: "It seems that the appearance of the camera is foggy?"
Assistant Li said: "Why is there fog? Everything was fine before."
Other staff also nodded one after another, "This is a confined space, so it would be too strange for the fog to suddenly appear."
In the picture, a layer of hazy white mist filled the entire room. It was just a thin mist at first, but soon became thicker, until finally even the camera was covered, making it impossible to see the scene clearly.
Professor Song seemed to have thought of something and asked someone to call up the surveillance in other places. However, the other pictures were normal, except that the house where the ancient bronze sword was located was covered by thick fog, making it difficult to see the contents clearly, which seemed a bit strange.
Just when everyone was puzzled, there was a vague buzzing sound in the mist.
"Buzz——"
Professor Song subconsciously widened his eyes and couldn't help but ask: "Did you hear anything?"
Everyone heard this and nodded.
"It sounds like something is screaming?"
"A bit like the sound of swords clashing?"
"No, why does it sound like a vague conversation?"
Everyone had different opinions on this, and obviously everyone had different feelings after hearing it. Professor Song's heart was stirred up a lot, and he couldn't help but think of the strange situation that happened when he confronted the black bear near the river bed.
But there was fog blocking the view, making it impossible to see clearly.
The fog did not last long, only ten minutes, but when the fog finally dissipated, there was nothing where the ancient bronze sword was!
It just disappeared out of thin air!
Everyone was immediately shocked and looked astonished.
"The ancient bronze sword has disappeared!"
"It must be the weird fog just now. Maybe it was created by a thief to deliberately confuse our sight."
I originally thought that surveillance would reveal the true identity of the thief, but I didn't expect that the strange mist would appear, leaving everyone even more helpless.
Professor Song rewinded the surveillance video without believing it, slowed it down, and watched it carefully, but still found nothing.
Originally, I didn't want to alert the police. After all, it is a scandal to commit theft behind bars, but there is nothing we can do now because there is no suspect in the surveillance video.
In the end, the research center unanimously decided to report the case and leave the matter to professionals to solve, hoping to find useful clues.
No matter what, the stolen ancient bronze sword must be recovered. After all, it is related to the historical secrets of Master Zhidun!
After receiving the report, the Kyoto police quickly dispatched special personnel to handle the case.
The strange thing is that no footprints were collected at the scene, and there were no fingerprints on the glass cabinet.
They previously speculated that the fog in the video was likely to be some kind of chemical substance, such as a smoke bomb, to shield the camera.
However, after air collection and testing, all indicators showed normal. Logically speaking, this kind of gas emissions would have 100% residue, but the current results are unexpected.
There was no trace of editing or synthesis in the video, and there was no artificial interference. The police also called surveillance from other angles and floors, but no one was found.
In other words, it is a complete mystery how the thieves sneaked into the cultural relics storage room.
As for the source of the inexplicable sound, the police have not yet been able to explain the cause, but they suspect it may be some kind of stolen tool.
For a while, the police were confused and did not obtain any useful information. This perfect secret room theft case could be said to be seamless.
And because there were no new clues, the case fell into a stalemate for a while.
Professor Song and others were worried after receiving the news from the police, but it was useless to be anxious.
Anyone who had access to that room was called by the police to talk, but judging from the transcript of the conversation, no one was suspicious.
"Who stole the thing? It made everyone suffer together."
"The key is that the surveillance video hasn't been captured yet. Could it be that it's really a ghost? It can't be that the ancient sword disappears on its own."
"The sudden fogging is very strange. If you think about it, the other rooms are all normal, but something happened in this room. Could it be because of the ancient sword?"
"Do you still remember what happened during the confrontation with the black bear? This sword is so evil. Now I kind of believe what Xiao Li said at that time."
"What did Xiao Li say?"
"Xiao Li said that this sword is powerful!"
"It's weird! No wonder Zhidu had to hold it before he died. Do you think it was Master Zhidu who took this sword away?"
"What you are saying is getting more and more bizarre. This was obviously stolen. The purpose of creating this kind of noise is to confuse the public and to confuse us."
Recently, due to the theft of ancient swords, the research center has been cast under a cloud, making people panic, and even derived several versions. However, they only dared to spread these words in private and did not get it out in the open. Come up and say.
But the name "ancient sword" has also become "strange sword" and "evil sword" because many people think this sword is evil.
Assistant Li, in particular, has been a little distracted since the day of the theft. He can't help but recall the scene of the confrontation with the black bear that day. He once suffered from mental problems and went to the hospital for multiple examinations.
However, the Archaeological Center did not stop its research because the ancient sword was stolen. Its disappearance added a lot of mystery to the matter.
It even makes people wonder, is there really something extraordinary about it that would make Master Zhidun keep it with him even when he passes away?
In order to clarify the relationship between ancient bronze swords and Zhidun, the Kyoto Archaeological Center decided to explore from the source!
According to previous speculation, the ancient bronze sword is related to the idiom of carving a boat to seek a sword, so they can use this as an entry point.
"Book a flight and leave for Fog City tomorrow!" (End of Chapter)
