Chapter 960: It's Really Wu Kun Dao
Chapter 960 It's really Wukun Dao
Holding the box, Yang Jizu's expression was a little sad.
No matter what, these are treasures left by our ancestors. Unfortunately, the most expensive one was lost in his hands, and the rest were preserved because of their low value.
"That's all left, it's not worth anything!"
Yang Jizu opened the box and put some strange wood pieces and clips in it. These things looked a little old, but the shape was too ordinary and there was nothing outstanding, so they were not of high value.
There are also several ancient books and notes here.
The ancient books are all handwritten, the book paper is yellowed and slightly incomplete. The same is true for those handwritten letters, and the appearance looks very inconspicuous.
Li Yang picked up an ancient book, opened it, and read it carefully.
The ancient text looks boring and difficult to understand, but gradually Li Yang understood it. This ancient book records the process of a person named Yang learning art. The first person writing looks more like a diary. This man named Yang claims to be a disciple of Lu Zigang and is also Lu Zigang’s youngest disciple.
However, the book does not describe Lu Zigang much, but only records what he has learned and what achievements he has achieved.
Looking at the ancient books, Li Yang shook his head gently again.
The things recorded in ancient books are diary types, but the papers of ancient books carry traces from the late Qing Dynasty, which means that this book cannot be written by the ancestor of the Yang family in the Ming Dynasty.
This greatly reduces the authenticity of the content, and there is no special content in it.
If it were ancient books from the Ming Dynasty, it would have certain value only when it was preserved to this day.
Li Yang looked down at the other ancient books again. They were all of this kind of paper, which means that they were all from the same period. No wonder these things were so valuable.
Things in the late Qing Dynasty were only more than a hundred years ago, and the diary-like things recorded in ancient books were not verified at all and had no historical significance. Such things can only be calculated as ordinary handwritten copies of the late Qing Dynasty.
Such ancient books are not well kept, so their value will naturally be low.
Li Yang put down this book and picked up the second one.
As soon as he opened this time, Li Yang's eyes widened a lot. The ancient book recorded it was Wukun Sword. The most important thing is that there is a detailed introduction to Wukun Sword.
It is written in the book that when Lu Zigang was young, he once bought jade and wanted to find a bargain, but he didn't expect to get a look. After that, he became a master of jade selling, and learned the jade-carving skills, and eventually became a master of jade-carving.
However, at that time, the sand milling method was commonly used by everyone. Lu Zigang's idea of jade carving could not be realized, so he went to the master to ask for the correct method.
This master was also a strange man who pointed out the disadvantages of the sand milling method and told Lu Zigang that if he wanted to do what he said, he had to use different knife carving methods.
However, there were very few elves at that time, and the jade quality was generally very hard. It was not easy to make a knive that could be used as you wish and be able to carve easily. Lu Zigang's master gave him another idea.
Master Lu Zigang said to him: When King Mu of Zhou was in the past, he had to offer a jade knife of Kunwu. The knife was one foot long and three liters of cups were taken. Cutting jade was like cutting mud. If you want to use the knife carving method, you must first have the Kunwu knife.
Lu Zigang didn't know where the knife was, so he asked the master again. Finally, the master told him that the knife had been buried with him and was in an ancient tomb.
This made Lu Zigang feel very unlucky, but in the end he could not bear the temptation of the knife carving method, so he decided to open the tomb and get the knife. Finally, with the help of his master, he successfully got the Kunwu sword back.
However, the shape of Kunwu sword was not suitable for jade carving, so his master gave him another suggestion, so Kunwu sword was taken by Lu Zigang to reforge and finally forged into a slender small carving knife, which was renamed Wukun sword.
Kunwu, Wukun is only one word away, but they are actually all the same thing. With Wukun sword, there will be no Kunwu sword.
After obtaining Wukun Sword, Lu Zigang's jade carving skills were really a step further, and he gradually gained his fame. His sword carving method was also pursued by many people, but if others did not have Wukun Sword in their hands, they could not carve such a vivid knife carving work.
These contents are finished in a few chapters of ancient Chinese, but these are not the key points. What really surprised Li Yang was the introduction later.
There is a detailed introduction to Wukun's sword in the book. Wukun's sword is three or four inches long, and the three or four inches in the Ming Dynasty was just over ten centimeters, just like the mysterious blade that Li Yang saw in reality.
My Kun knife is as thin and soft as a willow, bent freely, folded in half, and spreads out in three days, but it is no different.
The meaning of these words is that the Wukun sword is very soft, and the two sides are folded together, pressed for three days and then pulled away, and it is still the same as the original one, without any change. This is exactly the same as the mysterious blade found by Li Yang. Seeing this, Li Yang is almost sure that the blade he obtained is Lu Zigang's peerless magic weapon Wukun sword.
Behind the book, there are even more surprises for Li Yang.
Because the body is soft, Wukun knife needs different wooden boards to fix it during use. Sometimes clips are used. The descriptions of these wooden boards and clips are similar to those that Li Yang just saw. With these things, Kunwu knife can become a real carving knife.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yang then pointed to the ancient book and asked Yang Jizu: "Uncle Yang, as far as I know, Lu Zigang is the most famous master. What you wrote about the use of his famous weapon Kunwu Sword, why is it worthless?"
After hearing Li Yang's words, Yang Jizu looked at Li Yang strangely, and after a while, he shook his head.
Yang Jizu said: "After so many years, who knows whether what is said above is true or not? This book has been viewed by people from antique shops and auction companies, and people from auction companies have specially made paper measurements. As a result, the paper was from the late Qing Dynasty, and the contents written on it are all fabricated and imagined. Besides, none of us have seen Wukun Dao, and no one has believed it over time!"
Yang Jizu's explanation is very simple, but Li Yang understood.
He has seen Wukun Sword, so he knows that all the records here are true, at least the records about Wukun Sword are not wrong. But before, no one knew that Wukun Sword was hidden in the jade tower, and no one had seen the soft knife. It was hard to believe what was said above just by looking at the description.
The most important thing is that these papers are from the Qing Dynasty, and there has never been such records in historical text materials, which makes people unable to believe the authenticity of the content.
In this way, this can only be regarded as a fabrication of unofficial history, which is worth a little money, but because of poor storage, it is not of high value.
These things are only a few thousand yuan together. If they come to the antique shop, they will lower the price. They will not care about such things, because the possibility of failure is high.
In the end, these things will remain in the Yang family.
Li Yang slowly suppressed his excited heartbeat. This trip to Wuxi is worth it. What he came is really worth it. These things are priceless treasures to him and are precious materials that can restore Wukun Dao.
Looking back, Li Yang had completely become calm and said, "Uncle Yang, these things may be of some use to me. I want to buy them. What do you think?"
There are three ancient books in total, and Li Yang hasn't read the third one yet, but he already has the will to buy it. These things are too important to him, or to Wukun Dao.
Yang Jizu frowned and said reluctantly: "These are not worth anything. Besides, this is the only treasure I passed down from my family. I want to continue passing on it!"
He was not artificial. He felt very distressed and regretful when selling the jade tower. If he lost these things, he would really have no face to face his ancestors. With these things, no matter what, he would have a thought.
Secretary Zhu sat upright and said, "Uncle Yang, these things will not be brought with you if you live or die. Mr. Li is a noble man from Beijing. How about selling them to Mr. Li? You can buy them at will!"
Before coming, Secretary Zhu patted his chest and promised Li Yang that he would help him all the work today. Now Li Yang has taken a fancy to some inconspicuous old things, but Yang Jizu disagreed with selling them, which made his face dim and quickly said something.
Yang Jizu shook his head helplessly and said, "Secretary Zhu, I know these things will not be brought with you if you live or die, but they are really not valuable. You and Mr. Li are both nobles, how could you like this worthless thing?"
Yang Jizu didn't say anything. He was not a stupid person. Although Secretary Zhu in front of him had been an ordinary section chief in the Civil Affairs Bureau like him, the water behind him was much deeper than himself, and he had a good development in the future. In the past few years, they were all section chiefs, and now Secretary Zhu is a department-level cadre at a young age, which is the best proof.
Secretary Zhu was about to speak, but Li Yang quietly pulled him and said with a smile: "Uncle Yang, what do you think? I exchanged this jade tower for these things. The jade tower is also your family treasure. Its meaning should be more expensive than these things, right?"
Before Li Yang could finish his speech, Yang Jizu suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Yang in surprise.
When he exchanged the jade tower for these things, he wondered if he had heard it wrong?
This jade tower is sold to an antique shop for 600,000 yuan, and the antique shop for 1 million yuan is sold to Hua Xiaotian. The antique shop must make money.
But when it came to Li Yang's hands, it was millions.
Even the first 600,000 was much more valuable than this basically broken book. Yang Jizu asked again, and when he was sure that he had heard it correctly, he was stunned.
He heard it right, that was the person in front of him was stupid.
If a baby worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is exchanged for his worth of thousands of dollars, why aren’t he a fool?
Yang Jizu was very clear about the value of these things. He did not imagine what priceless treasures were in China. He had not looked for them before. He had not found them in an antique shop or auction company. Since the heirlooms in their family were spread, people often came to their doors. In the end, everyone was staring at the jade tower. After everyone saw these things, they didn't look at them.
After the Yuta was sold, people from these antique shops and auction companies never came to the door again.
