The item given by Zhang Sanfeng was a split-type sword scabbard, lacquered with golden six-character Great Ming Mantra. The handle of the scabbard depicted a seated Buddha, while the hooked ear of the scabbard was attached with a golden ring. At first glance, it looked more like a Buddhist artifact than a Taoist one.
Zhang Sanfeng held the heavy scabbard with both hands, presenting it to Ye Weiming, and calmly began to speak, "Young Master Ye, this scabbard was a gift from a wandering monk that I saved in my youth. It has its own mystery. However, since Wudang is a Taoist institution, there is no one here who can properly wield this artifact, hence, it has gathered dust."
"Observing Young Master Ye, your recent progress in Buddhist Law has been swift, which seems extremely suitable with this item. I present this artifact to you in the hopes that it may be of use."
