Generally speaking, money swords that are more than a foot long have a sword core, which is also known as a sword bone.
Because the money sword is made of copper coins, before making the money sword, a sword core will be made of metal, and then the copper money will cover the sword core and tie it with hemp rope.
This money sword is less than two feet long, and naturally it also has a sword core.
When 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 bronze coins on the hilt of this sword, all the bronze coins are tied to the sword, and the hilt is wrapped with hemp rope mixed with gold wire, but the hemp rope has long been rotten, leaving only some metal wire wrapped around the hilt.
On the front and back of the sword, there is a protrusion the size of a one-yuan coin, and looking at the shape, these two protrusions should be yang inscriptions.
It's just that, like the sword, these two inscriptions are also covered in rust.
After soaking off the rust, the whole sword was far less rusted than expected, but there was still a lot of patina on it.
Liu Lao took out a dry cloth, first wiped all the liquid on the entire sword, and then began to take out a stiff brush and start brushing.
Naturally, the first thing he brushed was a sword with an inscription.
Maybe it's because there is a thick layer of rust outside, which isolates the air, so that the patina on this sword doesn't adhere very much, Liu Lao brushed it with a brush for a while, and there was already a small pinch of patina on the desk.
Liu Lao took a magnifying glass and looked closer at the inscription that had just been brushed out, "This word should be a '東' character, Lao Cai, come over and see if this is the word?"
” Cai Yi also came up, but he didn't use a magnifying glass, "Well, it's indeed a 'east', Lao Liu, why don't you brush it hard again, and you can see it clearly if you brush it off completely?"
” Liu Lao shook his head with a smile and said: "Since this inscription can be recognized, then don't brush the remaining patina, these patinas are also a kind of protection for this sword, and it is too much to brush it down."
That's it, brush it like this. ” Liu Lao said, turned the sword over one by one, and began to brush up the inscription on the other side, and after a while, he said: "Is this word 'wall' or 'bi'?"
Lao Cai, come over and slap your eyes.
As he spoke, Liu Lao straightened up, beat his waist with his hand and smiled bitterly: "It's really old!"
After doing it for a while, this waist can't stand it, and this look is not good, alas" Cai Yi leaned up to take a look, then picked up a magnifying glass and looked at it, and then said with great certainty: "This word is 'bi', the 'bi' of jade, not the 'wall' of the wall." ” "Bi, Dong, Bidong?
Dongbi?
東璧 Um, Dongbi Hall?
Liu Lao muttered in his mouth, and in the end, he, Cai Yi and Yang Jing almost said the three words "Dongbitang" in unison.
Liu Lao'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 continued: "Old Liu, Uncle Cai, I think this should be Li Shizhen's sword.
Li Shizhen is a Dongbi person, and after he resigned from his position as a physician, he returned to his hometown and founded Dongbitang.
And apart from Li Shizhen, I really can't think of any other celebrity in history. ” Cai Yi shook his head and said, "Yang Zi, this reason alone is not enough.
Maybe in history, except for Li Shizhen, there are indeed celebrities who don't have the word Dongbi, but the people don't know how many people have the word Dongbi. ” Liu Lao said with a smile: "Lao Cai, you are wrong!"
Xiao Yang is right, there is a great possibility that this sword is Li Shizhen's sword.
The first is the inscription on the sword, which can determine the identity of half of the sword, and secondly, the gold wire used to tie the sword.
The person who could use gold wire mixed with hemp rope to make a braided rope and tie a money sword was not something that ordinary people could use at that time.
The most important thing is that this is an authentic Taoist Qiankun magic sword, not a money sword used by ordinary people to town houses, and Li Shizhen happens to be a person with a deep relationship with Taoism, it can be said that Li Shizhen is a Taoist priest without a real Taoist identity!
” Cai Yi didn't understand and asked, "How do you say this?"
” Liu Lao said: "I once read a material introducing Li Shizhen, which has such a paragraph, saying that Li Shizhen has been smart and clever since he was a child, eager to learn and progress, and he is determined to gain fame and glory at a young age.
But there are unforeseen circumstances, when Li Shizhen was sixteen years old, he suddenly fell ill with a sudden illness, coughing non-stop, and could not be cured for a long time, and he saw that people were about to die.
When Li Shizhen's parents were sad and desperate, a Taoist priest who traveled here from afar came to the village.
Hearing that the Taoist specializes in treating incurable diseases, Li Shizhen's parents hurriedly invited the Taoist to his home to see a doctor.
After the Taoist priest gave Li Shizhen a pulse, he said that it was okay, it was okay, this disease only needed to take one or two skullcaps, add two cups of water, decoction to one cup, and take it for half a month to be cured.
Li Shizhen's parents were suspicious of the decoction of the medicine, and a miracle happened.
Half a month later, Li Shizhen's body fever subsided, the symptoms of phlegm and cough disappeared, and his body gradually recovered his health.
Blind skullcap actually had an immediate therapeutic effect, which made Li Shizhen deeply feel the magic of medicine in our country, and admired this Taoist priest with unique skills. ” After a pause, Liu Lao continued: "In fact, Li Shizhen is not only powerful in medicine, he also has a very powerful Taoist technique, and it was recorded in the history books that Li Shizhen's alchemy is very famous.
Therefore, although Li Shizhen has not officially become a Taoist, his medicine and Taoism have grown up in the teaching of Taoist priests, so it is not an exaggeration to call Li Shizhen a Taoist figure.
Moreover, his father Li Yanwen also often practiced medicine in Taoist temples, and Li's father and son had an inseparable relationship with Taoism.
Li Shizhen often traveled to and from Wudang Taihe Mountain to collect medicine throughout his life, and has a deep relationship with the Taoist temple of Wudang Mountain.
Moreover, in some history books, it has been mentioned more than once that Li Shizhen 'is equipped with a two-foot Dongbi sword, walks in the mountains and rivers, and tastes a hundred herbs', and the length, style and name of this sword are consistent with those recorded in the history books, plus this Taoist Qiankun magic sword happens to be in line with the characteristics of that era and that region, so it is enough to judge that this sword should be the Qiankun magic sword that Li Shizhen wore to walk the world. ” Cai Yi and Yang Jing both looked at Liu Lao with shocked expressions, they had never heard of these things that Liu Lao said before, of course, if these things Liu Lao said were true, then it was enough to determine that this sword was Li Shizhen's Qiankun magic sword.
