Chapter 155 Chapter 38: Blue Frost Sword

There was only a dark shadow in the cabin. The man didn't move at first, but he trembled when he approached.The man's back was to me, and he had a handful of hair of varying lengths on the back of his head, and because he was behind a piece of fallen planks, it was hard to tell whether he was sitting or standing.As soon as I approached, two eyes grew in the back of his head, and he shot a strong blue-gold light at me. I backed away in surprise, wondering if this person is a ghost, does he have eyes on both sides.Our eyes met, the man's head moved for a while, and he jumped towards me again.I couldn't help but panic for a moment, almost wanted to scold, fuck you, you scared me to death!But he calmed down again immediately. It turned out that a snow pheasant jumped onto the board just now and stood right at the back of the man's head.

In the evening, almost all the animals in the forest committed suicide, but the snow pheasant survived probably because of hiding in the ancient boat.Now that it was safe, the snow pheasant ran out to scare me. I was so angry that I wanted to break its neck.But the snow pheasant is too precious, and I couldn't bear to hurt it, so I immediately rushed to the side.The snow pheasant is also called the white-eared pheasant, and it was also called the Tibetan-eared pheasant in history. It is a unique bird species in China.The snow pheasant is a large pheasant, with a body length of nearly one meter, a black head, a red face, and a white body.They eat a lot of things, such as ferns, mosses, grass roots and barley seeds, etc., and occasionally eat some insects.

Mu Qingxiang picked up the snow pheasant and threw it off the ancient boat to prevent it from jumping up and hurting us.We still don't know what happened in the forest. This snow pheasant is too smart and knows how to find a cover, otherwise it will be a dead end.If the snow pheasant knows how to survive, there may be other animals in the forest. We can't be too careless, maybe there is a fat black bear in the cabin. Mu Qingxiang saw that I was moving too much, and reminded: "Be careful, this ancient ship is very fragile and may fall apart at any time." I don't need others to say this, I also understand, but just now I was so scared that I was sweating all over my body, and I still haven't recovered from it now.The snow pheasant was thrown off the ancient boat, but was still reluctant to leave, and was still looking at us on the slippery shore.I thought incomprehensibly, if you don't leave, be careful that I will go down and catch you, disembowel you, pluck out your feathers, and roast until half-cooked.Mu Qingxiang knew Li Xiaobei's personality well, when the other party asked what was wrong, she didn't mention that fat and oily snow pheasant.

We exited the cabin and cleared a path first. If we encountered danger in the cabin, we made sure not to trip over the scattered wooden boards.The ancient ship protecting jade looks solid, but it is actually riddled with holes.I just want to find out the people who are trapped, and the boards that are sorted out are thrown directly into the river, making the black mud crackle.The cry for help just now couldn't have been pecked out by the snow pheasant. Its beak is very sharp, so it can't make a dull sound, but only a crisp sound. After tidying up for a while, I couldn't find a single piece of ancient jade, so I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.Mu Qingxiang saw what I was thinking, and told me that this might not be the ancient jade boat, but the ancient tea boat.After hearing this, I thought, could it be related to the origin of tea? This matter is really elusive.I have heard of the ancient ship protecting jade, but I have never heard of the ancient ship protecting tea. I only know that tea is transported by caravans or porters.Regarding the birthplace of tea culture, no one has mentioned it in the literature before the Ming Dynasty, even Lu Yu's "Tea Classic".

Only as early as in the Western Jin Dynasty, a person named Sun Chu mentioned that: dogwood comes from Fangshudian, carp comes from Luoshuiquan, white salt comes from Hedong, meicha comes from Luyuan, ginger, cinnamon, and magnolia come from high mountains. .Among them, "Tu He came out of Bashu", Tu He is the ancient name of tea.Ancient Bashu was composed of the Ba and Shu peoples, both of whom were foreign nationalities. The Ba people came from the east, and the Shu people came from the northwest.According to the textual research of later generations, the Shu people and the Yellow Emperor have the same origin, and their ancestors lived in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and later moved to the Western Sichuan Plateau.The Ba people came from Changyang County, Hubei Province, and later moved to eastern Sichuan.

The Shu people who lived on the Sichuan plateau only discovered tea at that time, and they did not love tea as much as they do today.If it is said to be an ancient tea-protecting boat in ancient Shu, I would not believe it even if I was killed.Seeing my agitation, Mu Qingxiang calmly explained that she didn't say that it was a ship left by Gu Shu.This mountainous area is very hidden, and the canal is also covered by forests, which may have something to do with the mansion in the deep mountains where she lived.Maybe the mansion in the deep mountain is a thousand-year-old historic site, otherwise my aunt and the others couldn't have created such a miracle.

After clearing a path, we walked into the cabin on the first floor. The inside was in a mess, and the things we cleaned up just now were all on the periphery.This ancient ship not only sailed out, but also sailed in, and what was transported at that time.I don't think the mountains next to the forest are very suitable for growing tea. If it's not for escorting precious tea leaves, what is it?It is easy to understand the protection of the ancient boat, but the words of the protection of the tea are too exaggerated. I don't know which emperor is willing to spend manpower and material resources on these pretentious things.

There were mostly boxes in the cabin, and some corpses, but only rotting clothes remained, and the bones had long been wiped out.Those boxes were easily smashed, and when they were opened, they were filled with black powder.If the contents of the boxes were precious, they would certainly not be so fragile, the black powder could be tea leaves, and the people who delivered them did not expect this to be the last shipment. The figure I saw just now was like a suit of armor, and the corpses in the clothes would shatter when touched, emitting a foul smell.The two of us were walking around in the cabin, and the hull actually tilted to one side several degrees, as if it was about to capsize in the gutter.Li Xiaobei saw that I hadn't waved the flashlight for a long time, so he yelled a few times in the distance, and I hurriedly went out to shake the flashlight again, saying that we were all right.

When I walked back, I found that there was another person standing besides Mu Qingxiang, and there was another person in the cabin at some point.This time, this person was standing. Although he was not tall, he could use his hands and feet, and he would not be the troublemaker of the snow pheasant.I hurriedly shone it with my flashlight and shouted loudly, reminding Mu Qingxiang to be careful.After I dared to shout, the man rushed towards me. In an instant, I saw its appearance clearly, and it turned out that it was another tea ape. This ancient ship is really not only the snow pheasant taking refuge here, maybe there are other things besides the tea monkey, maybe it made the six calls for help just now.I had several knives on me, and just as I was about to draw them out, the tea monkey grabbed my wrist with icy hands.This grip was incredible, it was so strong that it hurt my hands, and I couldn't move my hands.I saw the tea ape trying to bite me, and was about to shout for help shamelessly, when the tea ape let go.Knowing that Mu Qingxiang had saved my life again, I opened the tea monkey, and there was a sharp knife inserted into its back.I pulled out the knife vigorously, wiped Heifengmu, and returned the knife to Mu Qingxiang.

I gasped and asked, "Why are you so careless, the tea monkey was behind you just now, and you didn't notice it." Mu Qingxiang explained: "I turned over the wooden board just now and saw... Come and see for yourself." I walked over suspiciously, maybe I found an alien, and when I got behind Mu Qingxiang, I immediately took a step back in disgust.It turned out that Mu Qingxiang lifted the wooden board just now and found a female tea ape, and that female tea ape was already dead.The point is that this female tea ape has a big belly, and it can be seen that she is pregnant.I saw that it had already given birth to a cub, and that cub was dead, and the other one died halfway through birth, with only one head protruding from the mother's body.

This kind of picture is too disgusting and sad. Even if the tea ape is against us again and again, but now there are dead bodies, anyone with a little conscience will feel sorry for it.The female tea ape was not injured, but her whole body had turned black, not as white as the other adult tea ape.Maybe after being dead for a while, the body changes color, and people change color after death. "It's so pitiful, I haven't finished giving birth to the children, and there may be a few more in my stomach." I regretted, "Oh, there may be similar situations in the forest, what a crime." Mu Qingxiang was finally moved and said: "Not being born yet is indeed a tragedy. Although I can't enjoy happiness, I don't even have the chance to enjoy pain. It's really..." After I heard it, I felt that the logic was wrong. If I came here to endure hardships, it might be better not to be born.We didn't have time to help bury the corpse. The boat was made of black wind wood and sunk in the black mud. It was a rare geomantic treasure.I had to kill a tea ape just now, but I put it together with the mother tea ape.A wooden box was built for them. Although it was not stable, at least it had a shape. After this episode, the cry for help disappeared, maybe the tea ape was really playing tricks on us just now.However, people are coming, and it is unreasonable to leave now.I picked up the flashlight and continued to go deep into the cabin, cleaning up the ruins of the plank.The cabin is actually not that big, but there are too many obstacles, and it takes a lot of time to find it.The hard work paid off, and when I turned to the end of the cabin, I found a box made of black wind wood. The box is made of different materials, and it hasn't broken yet. I knocked it, and it turned out to be quite strong.I brushed off the dust on the Heifeng wooden box, the dust was as thick as a plate of flour, and it took several strokes to remove the dust.Mu Qingxiang watched from the side, when the dust was swept away, three ancient red characters were revealed, she read slowly: Qingshuangjian. I used to major in Chinese in college, so I have heard and seen the story of Qingshuangjian, so when I saw those three characters, I couldn't help being secretly surprised.The Qingshuang Sword appeared in a Song Dynasty story, when a Fujian scholar married a wife named Shen Xuezhen.The local gentry coveted Xuezhen's beauty, imprisoned Dong Chang and asked to be executed, and forced Shen Xuezhen to marry him.Shen Xuezhen sees through the trap of the noble gentry, falsely agrees to the marriage, and secretly carries the ancestral Qingshuang sword to marry. In the bridal chamber, she gets Fang drunk and kills the enemy with her hands. The story of Qingshuangjian can be seen here, and it was also adapted into a Beijing opera, but it is said that Qingshuangjian was cast in the Han Dynasty and has two twin swords.There has always been a legend of only one sword in history, but there is no following about the second twin sword.I just thought it was a legend. When I saw the words Qingshuangjian, I couldn't help being a little excited. I thought that the second sword was here. No wonder no one recorded the whereabouts of this sword afterwards. There are three red lacquered characters on the Heifeng wooden box, and the word "Yuanguang" is also depicted on the side.Mu Qingxiang knelt down and told me that "Yuanguang" was the reign name of Liu Che, the seventh emperor of the Han Dynasty. He was the famous Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and he had several reign titles.Yuanguang's year name is also the second year name in Chinese history, and the time range is from 134 BC to 129 BC.If there is no mistake on the box, then this ancient ship has been preserved from the Western Han Dynasty to today. I said in admiration: "The wisdom of the Chinese people is indeed endless. The ships built in ancient times can survive until now, but it is a pity that the ships built today may sink when they go out to sea, let alone keep them for a hundred years." Mu Qingxiang glanced at me, as if she wanted to laugh, but she didn't.I saw her take out a knife and was about to pry open the box. She wanted to be a bandit more than I did.I want to educate Mu Qingxiang righteously and sternly, and urge her to hurry up when she speaks, I can't wait to see the famous sword in history.I couldn't hold back my excitement, thinking that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty not only sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions, but also set up seven counties in the southwest, but I didn't expect him to do this kind of thing secretly.The cultural relics left by the Han Dynasty are all national treasures, and such things cannot be tampered with, otherwise they will be beheaded.At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I just wanted to open my eyes. Anyway, if I didn't look at it, I would be buried in the torrent of history by ancient ships. In the sound of my cheering, Mu Qingxiang pried open the black wind wooden box, much faster than I imagined.Maybe after thousands of years of baptism, the black wind wooden box is no longer as strong as before, otherwise the knife in Mu Qingxiang's hand would be broken.When the lid of the wooden box was given away, I took a deep breath and removed the heavy lid.Mu Qingxiang was also a little curious, she grabbed the flashlight placed on the wooden board, and took a photo into the black wind wooden box. I put down the lid and turned around anxiously, wanting to open my eyes, but I didn't expect to be surprised immediately.
