If this jade carving is a dragon or a phoenix, a tiger or a snake, it is very common, but it is a dragon and a wolf, which is interesting.
Since ancient times, dragons have meant emperors, and the meaning of wolves in this eastern capital is not ordinary. The wolf of the eastern capital refers to the group led by the founding emperor Linwu more than a thousand years ago, who scrambled the entire Jiuhua continent. An earth-shattering teacher of tigers and wolves.
Now that Emperor Linwu has ascended ascension, the major generals under his command have also disappeared. I don't know whether they have soared away with them, have turned into bones, or have gone into seclusion. The wolf of the Eastern Capital is no longer, but the name of the wolf still exists. Now it is unique to the Li royal family, and in the Li royal family, the only one who can have the image of the dragon and wolf at the same time is the emperor who sits firmly in the palace today.
In this way, it can be vaguely guessed what this jade carving is. Xie Xuanyang took the jade sculpture in front of him out of the box, turned it over, and looked at its base. The base of this dragon and wolf jade carving is very clean and flat without any flaws, but there is no gleaming light reflected in the light.
Xie Xuanyang raised his other hand and touched it on the base, it was slightly rough and not smooth, obviously it had not been polished.
What kind of jade carving is flat but not smooth at the bottom? In addition to unfinished products, there are only jade carvings that have been cut from intact jade with one knife.
"This is not a complete jade carving, but the upper part of the jade seal." Xie Xuanyang said with several people, he stroked the jade dragon body. The dragon's carving is extremely delicate, and the dragon's scales are so lifelike that he can touch a tiny bump.
Xie Xuanyang's fingertips ran along the dragon's tail, but against the dragon's scales, it seemed to follow the meridians of the dragon's body to the open dragon's head. He got up, and the sudden burning pain made him withdraw his hand suddenly.
Qing Xiao quickly held Xie Xuanyang's retracted hand, and looked at the scorched red on Xie Xuanyang's fingers and felt particularly dazzling. He pulled Xie Xuanyang's hand to his lips, lowered his head and kissed him.
"Be careful," he said.
Xu Shi lived on a snow-covered mountain all the year round. The temperature on Qing Xiao's body was always not high, and even his lips felt cool, but it was this coolness that drove Xie Xuanyang's sword out of the burning pain.
"This dragon is a bit fierce. I think it's... eh? Qingxiao?" Xie Xuanyang said halfway, his fingertips suddenly felt wet. When he saw it, it was Qing Xiao who was licking lightly to reduce the residual heat from the burn.
For some reason, looking at Qing Xiao's solemnly sticking out the tip of his tongue and brushing over his fingertips, Xie Xuanyang felt inexplicable, opened his eyes slightly, and his face gradually turned red.
He pulled his hand back from Qing Xiao's hand with a "swoosh", and said in a daze, "Don't, don't make trouble."
Qing Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at Xie Xuanyang's hand hidden in his sleeve, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, so fast that no one present could see clearly. He said, "You are hurt."
Xie Xuanyang blushed and said, "I'm fine, you..."
A few lonely people have no face to look at these two people, but the so-called disturbing love is to be kicked by a donkey. The three of you look at me and I look at you, silently pushing each other away, no one wants to come forward to disturb them, and finally It was Liu Wuqing who was defeated, biting his head and coughing a few times, "Well, cough, cough, Xie, Xie senior, I don't know what the dragon qi you said just now... What's the matter?"
When Xie Xuanyang saw someone questioning him, he quickly calmed down his mind that was swayed by Qing Xiao, and straightened his expression, "You should have heard that I said that this is part of the jade seal."
Several people nodded and said yes, although they had never seen the lost jade seal, they still knew what the jade seal would look like. The size of this dragon-wolf jade carving did just fit the upper part of the jade seal.
Xie Xuanyang continued, "The person with the dragon's qi is the emperor, and the jade seal is the emperor's seal of power. It is passed on from generation to generation, and it will definitely be full of dragon qi. Since this dragon-wolf jade carving is part of the jade seal, if there is no dragon qi on it, it is not right. It's normal. It's just... this dragon's aura is a little too fierce."
He paused, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the jade carving, his eyes moved from the jade dragon to the jade wolf wrapped around it, and his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he loosened his brows. He murmured, "So it is."
Upon seeing this, Liu Wuqing asked, "Senior Xie, what did you think of?"
Xie Xuanyang nodded and said, "I know why the dragon energy on this jade carving is so fierce, I'm afraid it's not just a part of the jade seal."
Xie Xuanyang's words made several people a little confused, and Liu Wuqing asked, "What else can it be other than the jade seal? Isn't it the right seal?"
Xie Xuanyang shook his head and said nonchalantly, "It's still a tiger talisman. That's why this dragon's aura is mixed with the bloody aura that came from the fighting on the battlefield, which makes it so fierce."
A few people were shocked when they heard the words, and said in horror, "What? Tiger Talisman?!"
As we all know, the tiger talisman is a certificate for deploying troops. There is an inscription on the back. It is divided into two halves. The right half is stored in the imperial court, and the left half is issued to the commander or local governor. But this dragon and wolf jade carving has no inscriptions on the back, and secondly, it is part of the jade seal, and the jade seal is the emperor's thing.
Xie Xuanyang of course knew what they were surprised, and pressed his hands to signal them to calm down, explaining, "The tiger talisman I am talking about is not an ordinary tiger talisman, but a tiger talisman that does not need to be divided among generals."
"Is there a tiger talisman that doesn't need to be given to the general?" Mo Lingyan asked. As the direct son of the Mo family in Xiliang, he had been in the circle of power for many years, but he had never heard of the tiger talisman that did not need to be given to the general. He touched his chin, "If you don't give it to the general, how can you get this soldier?"
Xie Xuanyang smiled meaningfully, "Of course the emperor himself led it."
Mo Lingyan was stunned, and immediately opened his mouth wide in shock, "Lead it yourself?! Can the emperor lead the troops himself?"
This was something he had never heard of before, and it would be a fantasy to stay in any royal family. Leading troops is not simply a matter of holding a tiger talisman. On weekdays, you have to deal with the corresponding military camp affairs of the tiger talisman. Every time you use an army, you have to go into battle in person.
For the emperor, it’s okay to go to the imperial army once or twice, but who dares to go all the way? Who dares? !
Xie Xuanyang said, "I don't know if the emperor next to him can lead the army. But I know that there is one who can definitely lead the army."
Mo Lingyan asked curiously, "Who?"
"Emperor Linwu of the Eastern Capital, Li Yishan, who was originally from a military commander." Xie Xuanyang raised his hand and turned the jade carving to the side, squinting slightly to search for the belly of the jade wolf, and sure enough, he found a very secret carving." There is a circle of fire-like carvings around the word. He pointed to the word and showed it to several people, "Look here, this is the flag pattern of the army led by Emperor Linwu, the army that swept the Eastern Continent and unified the Eastern Capital more than a thousand years ago."
The names of Emperor Linwu and his army will be known to everyone today even after a thousand years, let alone a native of Dongdu, it is said that Mo Lingyan was born in Xiliang, or Rao is already Qingxiu. Qing Xiao has known it for many years.
"Difficult, could it be said..." Mo Lingyan swallowed and said tremblingly, "Could it be that this, this jade seal is... the tiger rune of that army?!"
Is this worth it? Liu Wuqing jumped up immediately, pushed Mo Lingyan away, and carefully took the dragon and wolf jade carving from Xie Xuanyang, holding it as if holding the most precious treasure in the world. He was so excited that he was almost at a loss for words. He opened his mouth for a while before he recovered his voice, "□□ah!□□ Tiance Army's tiger talisman! Look at Chu Yun, Tiance Army's tiger talisman!"
Chu Yun didn't really want to respond to Liu Wuqing. Although he is a native of Dongdu, he also admires Emperor Linwu and Tiance Army, but looking at Liu Wuqing's idiotic appearance, the excitement that surged in his heart the moment he knew that this was the tiger talisman of Tiance was actually "Pfft. ” The sound was extinguished like a flame that had been doused with cold water. He twitched the corners of his mouth, "I see, this is not a complete tiger talisman, what are you excited about?"
"Yes, it's not complete." Liu Wuqing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, pacing back and forth in the room with the jade carving in his hands, and slapped the table with his free hand, "No, you mustn't forgive that destroying tiger talisman. The bastard! I must find the remaining half, and then let the bastard have a good taste of the end of stealing. Let him even dare to steal the Tiance Hufu, hum!"
"That's right, right." Chu Yun nodded quickly in agreement, "Stealing the tiger talisman is really disgraceful for us robbers in the East. I want to teach you a lesson, so I'll leave it to you, Brother Liu."
"Go away." Liu Wuqing snorted coldly, "Who is it for your thief's face? Go teach yourself a lesson. What I want to teach is that he dares to steal the tiger talisman for something bad."
"Okay, okay, I'll teach myself a lesson." Chu Yun said, "But before that, do you know where he went?"
Liu Wuqing choked, he really didn't know where that bastard went, or where the remaining half of Yuxi was, and he didn't even have any clues.
At this moment, Xie Xuanyang fiddled with the box that originally contained the jade carvings, turned it up and down, and actually lifted a mezzanine from the box. The laminate did not know what it was made of. It fell on the table and made a crisp sound, but did not hear the muffled sound that the wood and other objects should make.
Xie Xuanyang looked at the mezzanine to confirm that there was nothing in it, and then checked the laminate that fell on the table. The board felt smooth to the touch, as if smeared with a slippery oil. Its temperature is extremely cold, as if cold air is radiating from the heart of the board, and Xie Xuanyang's fingertips touch it and follow his meridians to penetrate the coolness of the heart into his body.
Xie Xuanyang said, "This thing is so cold, I don't know what it is."
Seeing this, Qing Xiao also touched it, "Xuan Bing."
Xie Xuanyang said, "Oh? It doesn't sound ordinary."
Qing Xiao nodded and said, "A good thing about casting tools."
Xie Xuanyang suddenly became interested, and it was definitely not ordinary that Qingxiao said that it was a good thing. He said, "Things that make swords? Then this board doesn't seem to be ordinary."
He lifted the board and tried to place it in the light coming in from the window. At this time, the sun was beginning to move westward, but the light was still abundant. Xie Xuanyang tried to look at it through the sun. He thought that this layer of board was completely black and could not see anything, but it turned into a semi-transparent black color in the sun, and it could be vaguely seen that there was a mask-like pattern inside. .
Xie Xuanyang said, "This is..."
Liu Wuqing came over to take a look, "Hey, isn't this the logo of the Clan Hall?"
The author has something to say: Tian Cejun: Lord is not in the Jianghu, but there is a legend of the Lord in the Jianghu.
OBS: Tiance here is not the Tiance in Sword Three, it's just a name.
