58: The mighty sword of the King of Yue! The best in the world!
“Whew…”
It wasn’t until Wu Tian had run about two kilometers down the slope that he let out a sigh of relief and put down Fatty and Zhang Meng.
Zhang Meng was fine.
She was just a bit dazed by the series of events that had just unfolded.
Coupled with Wu Tian carrying her and sprinting, she was now sitting on the ground, trying to calm her shock and dizziness.
But Fatty was different!
As early as when Wu Tian was sprinting up the hill, Fatty had been forcibly shaken awake by the huge bumps.
Moreover… because Wu Tian was carrying Fatty in a very casual posture!
As soon as Fatty’s feet touched the ground… “Ugh~”
“Splash, splash…”
“I say… Boss, what exactly happened just now… Ugh~”
“Why were you carrying me up the mountain?”
“Ugh!”
“It’s making my stomach churn…”
“So uncomfortable!”
“Let’s not talk about it, I’m going to throw up some more, ugh~”
...“Hahahaha, this is too real, poor Fatty was eating in his sleep, and then he just threw it all up!”
“Fatty is pretty pitiful, but didn’t you guys notice?”
“Oh my god!”
“The Host just carried two people and sprinted a kilometer up a mountain road, this…”
“It’s unscientific!”
“Scientific?”
“In this live broadcast room, please don’t mention such unfounded things as science, okay?”
“Watch the live broadcast seriously, why are you talking about science?”
“Isn’t the live broadcast good?”
“It’s good, it’s good, it’s just too terrifying, damn it…”
“What kind of people are in this village, why are they so terrifying, immensely strong and covered in black aura, and they want to kill the Host, is this an extrajudicial place?”
“Can’t brush it off during the day, can’t escape it at night!”
“I’m dumbfounded!”
...“Useless!”
Wu Tian pouted, looking at the rusty bronze sword in his hand in the moonlight.
From the moment he swung the sword to cut off the rusty spear, Wu Tian felt something was off.
This sword didn’t seem heavy!
And… it cut iron like mud!
It wasn’t until now… that he had time to observe it carefully.
Under the faint moonlight, this bronze sword was about three feet long, four point six inches wide, and weighed about one catty six taels and five mace.
Several large characters were carved above the hilt!
“This is…”
Wu Tian’s eyes widened.
After a long while.
“Can’t read it!”
“Sigh!”
Wu Tian righteously patted Zhang Meng’s shoulder, who was still recovering, and handed the sword to her.
“Help me take a look.”
“There are some characters on this sword, it’s too dark for me to see clearly!”
“…”
Zhang Meng was startled.
Then she glanced at Wu Tian.
“Can’t see clearly or can’t understand?”
“…”
“It’s all the same, all the same!”
“Hehe…”
“Help me take a look!”
“Give it here!”
Zhang Meng rolled her eyes, reached out and took the bronze sword Wu Tian handed her, and distinguished the large characters on the short sword under the faint moonlight.
“Hmm?”
“This is Bird Seal Script!”
Zhang Meng’s eyes lit up!
Then, ignoring the black dirt on the sword body, she directly used her sleeve to vigorously wipe clean the area with the Bird Seal Script!
She gently stroked it!
“yue king sword…”
“Heroic Sword?!”
“Holy crap!”
The usually gentle and understanding Zhang Meng immediately blurted out a curse, her right hand gripping the hilt so tightly that her knuckles turned green!
“I thought it was just a legend!”
“I didn’t expect it to be real!”
“…”
“What’s all the fuss about, you’re so jumpy, keep your voice down!”
“If you attract people again, we’ll have to run!”
“Aww…”
Zhang Meng stuck out her tongue, then patiently explained to Wu Tian.
“Look here!”
Zhang Meng pointed to the guard section on the front of the sword.
“There’s a blue glass here!”
“Now look here!”
Zhang Meng flipped the sword over, pointing to a small area on the other side and continued to speak as if reciting a family treasure.
“There’s a top-grade turquoise here!”
“And…”
Zhang Meng, without a hint of disgust, used her sleeve to wipe away the black mud and sewage from the sword body, pointing to the clean-as-new sword body and said.
“The rust you see isn’t actually the sword rusting, but rather the mud adhering to the sword body!”
“This sword’s body contains a large amount of copper sulfide, so it’s completely rust-proof!”
“No matter how many years pass, it will be as sharp as new!”
“And these patterns, this blade, this copper content…”
“Tsk tsk…”
Zhang Meng almost wanted to hug the sword and kiss it, all the shock from before was thrown to the winds, and now her heart was filled with joy!
“…”
Wu Tian scratched his head.
“You’ve been talking for a long time, but you still haven’t told me, what’s the origin of this sword?”
“Ah!”
Zhang Meng was startled.
Then she stuck out her tongue and said to Wu Tian.
“I almost forgot to mention…”
“This sword is called the yue king sword, or more accurately, the Yue King’s Heroic Sword. It is one of the two swords forged by the master swordsmith Wuming for the King of Yue’s revenge!”
“One of the swords is inscribed with eight Bird Seal Script characters, ‘Yue Wang Gou Jian, self-made sword,’ which is the female sword!”
“It is housed in the Xiangbei Provincial Museum!”
“And the other, the Heroic Sword, can only be glimpsed in legends!”
“I didn’t expect!”
Zhang Meng was full of pleasant surprises!
“We actually encountered it here!”
“Then the characters on it…”
Wu Tian reached out and pointed to the sword body.
“Yue King’s Heroic Sword!”
“That’s so perfunctory?”
Wu Tian scratched his head!
“Perfunctory?”
Zhang Meng rolled her eyes.
“This sword is hailed as the number one sword in the world, light as a weak willow swaying in the wind, sharp enough to cut iron like mud, and keen enough to cut hair with a breath!”
“Perfunctory?”
“Do you see any change in it after more than two thousand years?”
“Hiss…”
It was only then that Wu Tian took a deep, sharp breath.
“Then this…”
“Isn’t it a precious sword?”
“That’s right!”
“Not only is it a precious sword, but it’s also a cultural relic, it needs to be handed over to the state…”
“Wuwuwu!”
Before Zhang Meng could finish speaking, Wu Tian reached out and covered her mouth.
“Shh…”
“You should have said so earlier, if you had, I would have turned off the live broadcast!”
“Wouldn’t it be better if I used such a good item myself?”
Zhang Meng: … “Ah, this, I don’t understand this operation by the Host, and also, is this really a whisper?”
“I am the curator of the Xiangbei Museum, young brother Wu Tian, we are very reasonable, one hundred million!”
“One hundred million, will you give us this sword?”
“Woc!”
“One hundred million, I wish I had gone to the Peach Blossom Garden too!”
“Upstairs, are you brainless?”
“Have you forgotten where the Host got this sword from?”
“If someone gave you a sword from behind, could you catch it, or could you run home with a sword stuck in you?”
“Idiot!”
“…”
“You… this…”
Zhang Meng’s face turned bright red from Wu Tian covering her mouth, and she immediately wiped her mouth, turning her head to the side.
“If you want to use it, then use it, I’m not saying anything else!”
“Annoying…”
Fatty: Ugh~
