Chapter 0612 – Cutting Iron Like Clay (III)
Zhao Hanxuan and Huangfu Yun both stared blankly at the words, they didn’t know what exactly Zhuang Rui was going to do? Couldn’t it be that just by hammering like this for a while, all that rust would come off?
“Uh, there’s still something missing ……”
Holding that bronze sword, Zhuang Rui looked around the room for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up as he walked to the corner of the wall and took the broom for sweeping the floor in his hands.
“Both of you, watch this!”
Zhuang Rui held the bronze sword in his left hand, and held the broom upside down in his right hand, with the sword hanging down, then used the broom to scrape down hard against the bronze sword body.
Let Zhao Hanxuan and Huangfu Yun stunned scene happened, that the rust on the bronze sword, actually really with the broom off, not long, the ground is covered with rust dregs, and the bronze sword body, vaguely have a yellow ethereal light through.
“What kind of sword is this ……?”
Rao Huangfu Yun often mixed in the major foreign auction houses, but also have not seen such a miraculous scene, could it be that the legendary bronze sword that does not rot or decay, will really appear right in front of their eyes?
“Old Zhao, find a few rags and warm water to ……”
Zhuang Rui vigorously used the broomstick to clean the rust on the bronze sword, this broomstick is made of sorghum stalks, not afraid of hurting the bronze sword body, besides, these rusts, are not formed by the bronze sword itself, but merely attached to it, just now Zhuang Rui knocked the bronze sword, just to shake off these rusts.
Previously heard Huangfu Yun said the sword is rust when, Zhuang Rui feel some wrong, because through these rust, bronze sword body almost light can be seen, which means that these rust, it is likely to be later bronze sword and other weapons buried together, was eroded up.
But due to the excellent material of the bronze sword itself, it was not corroded, just attached to it, making it look like a burning stick.
With this kind of enlightenment, coupled with Zhuang Rui initially in knocking the sword body, found that those attached to the top of the rust, there are signs of loosening, so Zhuang Rui this to the duo changed a magic trick, to say that the principle of it, but it is more than simple.
“Here, rag …….”
There is no warm water in the store, Zhao Hanxuan from the water dispenser water, end into the inner room, and then handed Zhuang Rui a rag.
Zhuang Rui will wipe the rag wet and wrung out, and then to the bronze sword carefully and carefully wiped up, as those rust powder was gradually peeled off, slightly yellowed bronze-colored body of the sword, presented in front of the three people.
Removed the rust of the bronze sword, than the previous slightly shorter than an inch or so, the sword body is covered with balanced and beautiful lines, the two sides of the blade in the light of the irradiation, the cold light, a few people do not have the slightest doubt, the sharpness of the sword.
“Clang, clang ……”
After wiping the water stains clean with a dry cloth, Zhuang Rui held the sword in his left hand, his right middle finger flexed and flicked it against the sword body, and immediately, the sound of gold and iron striking came out, crisp and pleasant to the ear.
“Elder brother Zhuang, take a look, quickly see if there is an inscription on it, this sword must be a famous sword that has been passed down through the ages, quickly take a look!”
Standing at the side of Huangfu Yun, this will already be the eyes red, can not help themselves, Zhuang Rui if you do not listen to him, I guess brother Huangfu is going to come forward to snatch it.
Zhuang Rui heard also carefully looked up on the sword body, but after looking for a long time, but did not find any text, only in the hilt of the sword slightly up a centimeter place, there are two seemingly text pattern, but unfortunately Zhuang Rui do not recognize.
“Brother Huangfu, come and take a look, are these two not writing? It looks a bit like gold writing to me ……”
Zhuang Rui grabbed the bronze sword body with a rag and turned it upside down to point the handle at Huangfu Yun.
Huangfu Yun had long been itching to grab it and play with it, and immediately grabbed the handle and drew the sword over.
“Shit, be careful! Big brother ……”
Just as Huangfu Yun drew his sword, Zhuang Rui only felt a chill in his hand, and hurriedly let go of his hand, and then looked at the rag that fell to the ground, which was already split into two pieces.
“Really? It will be so sharp?”
Zhuang Rui’s eyes were looking straight, this legendary chopping iron, is just like that! Zhuang Rui made up his mind, he must try it later, see if he can blow the hair off?
Previously Zhuang Rui often see in martial arts novels, those weapons are indestructible, sharp and incomparable, just that will be Zhuang Rui all when it is bullshit, although some of the technology of the ancients, now can not be replicated, but Zhuang Rui how do not believe that there is no modern iron process, the ancients can refine that kind of weapon?
But the facts speak louder than words, looking at the ground dropped the two pieces of towel, Zhuang Rui heart vaguely chilling, if you let go of the slow words, maybe his palm will also be cut out of the mouth to.
“The edge of the blade is perfect, satin pattern is like millions of waves running, the edge is firm and subtle, the tip is sharp and hide the edge, treasure, really treasure ah! How could the ancients cast such a precious sword?!”
Not only Zhuang Rui had this kind of thought, Huangfu Yun, after carefully checking this bronze sword, also howled dryly at the top of his voice, as if it was the only way to vent his heart’s excitement and consternation.
“Brother Zhuang, what’s going on?”
The monkey outside heard the commotion in the inner room and hurriedly scurried in, seeing Huangfu Yun holding a sword with a red face, he immediately moved a chair and stood in front of Zhuang Rui.
“Monkey, it’s fine, it’s fine, you go out first! Brother Huangfu is a bit agitated ……”
Zhuang Rui was made to cry and laugh by the monkey’s actions, and hurriedly spoke out to explain, looking at the monkey’s appearance, he was almost about to smash the chair at Huangfu Yun.
“Oh, Brother Zhuang, something you call me ……”
Although the monkey is timid, the key moment is really not dilute, after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, hesitantly looked at Huangfu Yun, put down the chair and walked out, but this heart is still uneasy, has been staying in the doorway.
“Zhuang old brother, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, out of order, really out of order.”
Just now, the monkey came in, and also woke up Huangfu Yun from his shock, and at that moment, he carefully placed the sword on the table, only that pair of eyes, still unblinking, staring at the bronze sword with a deadly stare.
“Brother Huangfu, you saw those two words, right? What is it reading?”
Although Zhuang Rui guessed in his heart that the words were Jinwen from the Yin and Shang Dynasties, he had only learned to recognize seal scripts, but he didn’t have the slightest idea about the writing before the Qin Dynasty.
That being said, in this world, there really weren’t many people who could understand that script, I’m afraid he could count them on one hand.
“Huh? Older brother, what did you say, what do those two characters read?”
Huangfu Yun was still a bit lost in thought and froze for a moment after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words.
“Yeah! You’re an expert in sword collection, what exactly do those two characters read?”
Not only Zhuang Rui, is also Zhao Hanxuan is also a face of curiosity, everyone’s heart once had a hero complex, not to mention Zhuang Rui, is the old comrade Zhao, back then also read the Golden Warrior’s martial arts novels, to the legend of the divine weapon, are extremely yearning.
Huangfu Yun smiled bitterly at his words and said, “Old brother, you also think too highly of me, I’m not even a half-assed expert on swords and knives, much less an expert on ancient scripts, so how can I recognize these two words!”
“You don’t recognize it either?”
Zhuang Rui froze at his words, and after looking at Zhao Hanxuan face to face for a while, he said, “Then please ask Master Ge to come and take a look, he’s a seal carver, he should have a deeper understanding of the characters ……”
“Xiao Zhuang, these two characters should be the Zhong Ding Wen of the Yin Shang period, also known as Jin Wen, although I know, but I have not had an in-depth study of this, in the end, what do these two characters read, the old man I also do not know ……”
Master Ge came in and used a magnifying glass to carefully inspect the two patterns that resembled the script, only he didn’t recognize it either, making Zhuang Rui and the others feel slightly disappointed.
“Forget it, I’ll turn around and trace down the two characters, then find someone to look at them!”
Zhuang Rui shook his head helplessly, but immediately got excited again, scurried outside the store and pulled a hair on the monkey’s head, not waiting for the monkey to react, Zhuang Rui was already drilling back into the inner room.
“You really want to try ah?”
Zhao Hanxuan saw Zhuang Rui’s child-like behavior, only then remembered that the boss in front of him, but also just a big boy in his twenties, Huangfu Yun was interested in the past, and helped Zhuang Rui to pick up the bronze sword, the blade upward, placed in front of Zhuang Rui.
The monkey’s hair wasn’t short, it was five or six centimeters long, Zhuang Rui put it on the sword blade, the hair didn’t break, only when Zhuang Rui blew a breath violently at the sword blade, a hair suddenly turned into two, and floated down from the sword blade to the ground.
“Blowing hair can break it!”
For a while, the room became silent, the breathing of the three people obviously intensified, this unknown bronze sword was definitely no less than the legendary famous swords such as Dryad and Moxie, and it might even be as good as that.
“Old brother, you …… you this sword, is how much money to buy?”
Huangfu Yun suddenly remembered this question and asked with a somewhat dry throat.
“Bought it together with that ring head sword, the two together, 1200 dollars ……”
Zhuang Rui’s words let the presence of Huangfu Yun and Zhao Hanxuan, Qiqi rolled his eyes, this is not equal to is a white gift well, not to mention, on the basis of the sharpness of this sword and the age of the auction house to go, at least 30 million or more to start shooting.
“By the way, this sword cut iron how ah? Let’s try to see if it can cut gold and iron?”
Zhuang Rui will also be stimulated, like a person who does not know martial arts to get the secret manuals of divine power in general, the excitement of a little can not help themselves.
“The iron forged by modern technology definitely can’t work, but you can find some copper coins to try, the sword unearthed in Longquan in the past can chop and cut seven copper coins without the slightest damage ……”
Huangfu Yun shook his head, not very much in favor of Zhuang Rui’s approach, this would be irreparable if it injured the sharp edge of the bronze sword.
“Good, then let’s try the bronze ……”
Zhuang Rui also knew that modern iron weapons were alloys with steel mixed in, using copper money was just what he wanted, he quickly called the monkey and asked him to go buy some copper money back.
