Chapter 188: The Dragon's Head
He is naturally the Prince of Punnard in the mouth of the little prince of Devon, and he is the oldest and oldest member of the royal family in the bullfighting country.
Moreover, he has another identity, he is the nephew of Amiland.
After seeing Zheng Shaoqiu, he greeted him with a warm face, stretched out his arms and hugged Zheng Shaoqiu.
"Thank you, Zheng ......"
"We witnessed a cross-border friendship 100 years ago......"
"Similarly, a hundred years later, you and little Devin also have a friendship......"
After the greetings, it's natural to get down to business.
At Punal's arrangement, two attendants laboriously approached with a small cart, covered with a layer of fine silk and finely woven, on which was the coat of arms of the Bullfighting Nation.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Chu Miaozhen also poked her head over and held her breath.
She knew that these should be the two heavy treasures promised before.
Sure enough, when the entourage gently lifted the satin, everyone in the room saw its true face.
The whole is dark gold, the dragon's head is hideous, the beard is manifested, and there is a rushing momentum.
The shape is like a dragon boat, the length is about one meter two, the fish scales are arranged in a regular manner, the lines are smooth, the dragon's teeth are protruding outward, especially sharp, the eyes are round, and the evil spirit is pressing.
Even Chu Miaozhen, who knew little about the antique industry, saw this dragon's head guillotine, and felt that it was a work of art, not a divine weapon used to cut off heads.
Zheng Shaoqiu walked to the cart with his usual face, stretched out his right hand, and slowly rubbed it gently on the dragon's head, and there was a burst of ** feeling.
At a glance, you can see that this guillotine is made of copper, and the weight is very heavy, about 400 catties.
You must know that in the Northern Song Dynasty, although casting has reached the peak of history, but such a huge guillotine, it still requires very exquisite craftsmanship.
Zheng Shaoqiu continued to explore, and sure enough, he found the clues.
The guillotine looks natural overall, but if you look closely, you can see a subtle touch at the junction between the dragon's neck and the dragon's body, which must have been divided into two casts and then glued together.
What's even more amazing is that the connection between these two parts is very hidden, almost without a trace, even if you touch it with your hands, if you don't deliberately look for it, it is not easy to find.
Even now, this kind of craftsmanship is quite rare.
This guillotine is made of brass throughout, and after a long time, there are already spots around the body, and there is a feeling of piercing hands to the touch.
This also shows from the side that this guillotine is definitely old.
Zheng Shaoqiu retracted his gaze and asked softly, "Where is the knife?"
Hearing this, the attendant lifted another piece of silk, and suddenly a huge blade was exposed to everyone's sight with the cold light of Sensen.
At first glance, similar to an extended version of a kitchen knife, Zheng Shaoqi tried to flip the weight, one arm could not be lifted at all, and the knife body was densely covered with complex patterns, which was very fine.
This pattern is not deliberately carved, but the product of repeated chiseling and refinement.
A flash of heat flashed in Zheng Shaoqiu's eyes, and his gaze moved downward.
The handle is the shape of a dragon's tail, which coincides with the image of the base.
Zheng Shaoqiu took a deep breath, turned his steps sideways, held the position of the handle with one hand, and then flipped his wrist.
He used skill, and the guillotine, which was more than 400 catties, tilted for a while, and then leaned on Zheng Shaoqiu's leg.
Seeing this scene, Prince Punal and the rest of his entourage were dumbfounded, and subconsciously took two steps back.
They knew how heavy the knife was.
Moreover, Zheng Shaoqiu's arm is still in plaster cast, wrapped in layers of gauze, and he can knock down the guillotine with brute force alone, which is too amazing......
Could it be Hercules?
Chu Miaozhen's eyes flickered slightly, and her suspicion of Zheng Shaoqiu was a little heavier.
You must know that some time ago, the other party's situation was not optimistic, but since staying in Jiang Rentang overnight that day, the whole person's temperament has changed dramatically.
She was extremely impressed by this paragraph, after all, she vomited all over the world.
But what really happened that night?
What secret is hidden in it?
"Someday, I'll uncover these truths with my own hands. ”
Zheng Shaoqiu didn't expect that a casual knife drawing would cause such a reaction from everyone.
Of course, he did not do this action to sensationalize, but to verify something.
When he saw a word at the guillotine level, he was more and more sure of that guess in his heart.
Turning his gaze, he looked at Liang Crooked a cart, on which was placed a long wooden box, the material should be walnut, but the carved style was indeed Western.
Looking at the pulp above, you know that the years are not short.
As if noticing his movements, the attendant next to him took two steps forward and gently opened the box.
As soon as Zheng Shaoqiu glanced at it, he lost interest.
Strictly speaking, these are not two swords, but knives.
And it's also a Japanese knife used by the Japanese Invaders.
He picked it up casually, there are fine lines on the scabbard, and the style should be from the Ming Dynasty, and the material should be shark skin.
Zheng Shaoqiu's arm slidied, and the long knife slowly reflected a cold light, which was cold.
This is a typical Japanese knife, about a foot superior, and the snow-white blade is like a crescent moon, with a slight arc.
The prototype of this sword is actually the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, during that period, the Tang Dynasty was strong, and the entire Dongying Zun was the superior, and also sent a wave of messengers to take away some items and drawings.
Among them, the forging process of the Mo knife was also stolen away, and then after various evolutions, there was a sword.
The final ending is also embarrassing, the orthodox Modao disappeared after the long river of history, and not a single splash came out.
However, the Japanese knife has become one of the world's three famous knives in one fell swoop.
Zheng Shaoqiu flipped his wrist and looked at the Japanese script on the hilt, and then frowned imperceptibly.
Then, he picked up another sword next to him, which was much shorter than the two.
Although they both belong to the Japanese sword, the two knives have different names, the long one is called the Tai knife, and the short one is called the rib difference.
This rib does not have a shark skin scabbard, but the position of the handle is clearly visible with two engraved letters.
King Hui.
King Hui is naturally the big pirate Wang Zhi, and at that time, it could be regarded as a black and white all-in-one.
These two knives are very well preserved, the blades are snow-white and sharp, and the cold is pressing, and it is obvious that someone is responsible for maintenance.
