Generally speaking, money swords with a length of more than one foot have a sword core, which is the so-called sword bone.

Because the money sword is made of copper coins, before weaving the money sword, we will make a sword core with metal, and then cover the copper coins on the sword core and tie it with hemp rope.

This money sword is less than two feet long, so it naturally has a sword core.

When the thick layer of earth rust outside was soaked away by the solvent, the general shape of the entire sword was revealed.

There are no ancient bronze coins on the hilt of this sword. All the ancient bronze coins are tied to the body of the sword. There are hemp ropes mixed with gold wires on the hilt of the sword, but the hemp ropes have long been rotten, leaving only some metal wires wrapped around the hilt of the sword.

On both sides of the sword, there is a raised as the size of a one-yuan coin on each side. Judging from the shape, these two raised should be inscriptions of positive writing. However, like the body of the sword, these two inscriptions are also covered by rust.

After soaking out the soil rust, the rust of the entire sword is far less severe than imagined, but there is still a lot of copper rust on it.

Mr. Liu took out a dry cloth, first wiped all the liquid from the entire sword, and then he started to take out a hard bristle brush to start brushing. The first thing he brushed was naturally the sword gutter with inscriptions engraved.

Perhaps it was because there was a thick layer of earth rust outside, which isolated the air, so that the copper rust on the sword was not very strongly adhered to. Mr. Liu brushed it with a brush for a while, and a small amount of copper rust was already added to the table.

Mr. Liu took the magnifying glass and looked closer to the inscription he had just painted, "This word should be the word 'dong'. Lao Cai, come and see if it is this word?"

Cai Yi also came over, but he didn't use a magnifying glass. "Well, he is indeed a 'dong', Lao Liu, why don't you brush it hard and brush the copper rust thoroughly and see clearly?"

Old Liu smiled and shook his head and said, "Since you can recognize this inscription, don't brush the remaining copper rust. These copper rusts are also a kind of protection for this sword. If you brush them all, it's too much. That's it, it's done."

As Mr. Liu said, he turned the swords one by one and began to brush the inscription on the other side. After a while, he said, "Is this word "wall" or "bi"? Lao Cai, come and take a peck of his eyes." As he said, Mr. Liu straightened his hand and beat his waist with his hands and smiled bitterly: "It's really old! After doing it for a while, the waist can't stand it anymore, and the look is not good, alas..."

Cai Yi went up to take a look, then picked up the magnifying glass and looked at it, then said with great certainty: "This word is 'bi', the 'bi' of jade bi, not the 'wall' of the wall."

"Bi, Dong, Bidong? Dongbi? Dongbi... Well... Dongbi?" Old Liu muttered. In the end, he, Cai Yi and Yang Jing almost spoke the three words "Dongbitang" in unison.

Mr. Liu's face was trembling with excitement, "This, this, is this 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's name is Dongbi, and after resigning from his position as an imperial physician, he returned to his hometown to establish Dongbi Hall. Besides Li Shizhen, I really can't think of any other famous person in history who has the name Dongbi."

Cai Yi shook his head and said, "Yang Zi, it's not enough to have this reason alone. Perhaps there are indeed celebrities in history who do not have the name Dongbi except Li Shizhen, but there is no one among the people who have the name Dongbi."

Liu Laoze smiled and said, "Old Cai, you're wrong! Xiao Yang said rightly, this sword has a great possibility that it is Li Shizhen's sword. First, it is the inscription on the sword, which can determine half of the identity of the sword. Secondly, the golden silk used to tie the sword. People who can use gold wire to make ropes to tie the money sword with gold wire mixed in hemp ropes were not something that ordinary people could use in that era. The most important thing is that this is an authentic Taoist Qiankun sword, not the money sword used by ordinary people to keep their houses. Li Shizhen happens to be a person with a deep connection with Taoism. It can be said that Li Shizhen is a Taoist priest who has no real Taoist identity!"

Cai Yi didn't understand and asked, "How do you say this?"

Mr. Liu said: "I once read a piece about Li Shizhen. There is a passage on it that says that Li Shizhen has been smart and studious and motivated. He has been determined to get fame and honor at a young age and shines on the family. However, there are unexpected situations in the world. When Li Shizhen was sixteen years old, he suddenly suffered from an acute illness, coughing and not curing for a long time. He was about to lose his life. Just when Li Shizhen's parents were sad and desperate, a Taoist priest who traveled here from afar came to the village. The Taoist priest had white hair and long beard, and had a fairy-like and scent. Hearing that Taoist was specializing in treating difficult and complicated diseases, Li Shizhen's parents hurriedly invited Taoist to his home to see him.

After giving Li Shizhen a pulse, he said, "It's okay, you only need to take one liang of Scutellaria baicalensis, add two cups of water, decoct until one cup, and take it for half a month to recover." Li Shizhen's parents decocted medicine according to the prescription half a doubt, and the miracle happened. Half a month later, Li Shizhen's body heat was completely eliminated, the symptoms of excessive phlegm and cough disappeared, and his body gradually recovered. Scutellaria baicalensis had an immediate therapeutic effect, which made Li Shizhen deeply feel the magic of Chinese medicine, and admired this Taoist priest with unique skills. From then on, he followed the Taoist to study medicine hard, read medical books throughout the ages, and walked all over the mountains and rivers, and finally became a generation of medicine saints."

After a pause, Mr. Liu continued: "In fact, Li Shizhen is not only good at medicine, but also has a very powerful Taoist technique. Historical books once recorded that Li Shizhen's alchemy was very famous. Therefore, although Li Shizhen did not officially become a monk and became a Taoist priest, his medical and Taoist priests grew up through teaching Taoist priests, so it is not an exaggeration to call Li Shizhen a Taoist figure at all. Moreover, his father Li Yanwen often practiced medicine in Taoist temples, and the father and son of Li had an inseparable relationship with Taoism. Li Shizhen often traveled all his life.

The collection of herbs in Wudang Taihe Mountain has a deep relationship with the Taoist temple in Wudang Mountain. Moreover, in some historical books, Li Shizhen has mentioned more than once that "fitting a two-foot Dongbi sword, walking on mountains, rivers and lakes, and tastes all herbs..." The length, style and name of this sword are consistent with the records in history books. In addition, this Taoist Qiankun sword coincides with the characteristics of that era and that area, so it is enough to judge that this sword should be the Qiankun sword that Li Shizhen wore to walk the world."

Cai Yi and Yang Jing both looked at Mr. Liu in shock. They had never heard of the things that Mr. Liu said before. Of course, if the things that Mr. Liu said were true, then it would be enough to determine that this sword was Li Shizhen's Qiankun Sword.
