"The surface of this bronze sword is wrapped in a thick layer of iron filings, blocking its edge, for fear that it will be avoided by the war, or it will be taken away by others. And the decoration of this sword lattice is also quite strange, it is actually a wolf head, or not a tiger head or something like that, which is not in line with the consistent practice of the ancients. The inlay of the sword's head has also been excavated, which is a sign that the owner of the sword did not want to know the origin of the sword or who the owner was. ”

Ding Lao muttered to himself.

The more doubts you have, the more curious you become.

"Look, there are a lot of inscriptions on it. ”

Ding Lao beckoned everyone to come and look at the inscription.

After studying it carefully, there was no comparison of ancient characters at hand for a while, and Ding Lao read it word by word.

"West, Han, *, Yan***, gift, **north, *people, **clan, ***Rong?"

"There are a few words that are too cumbersome to read clearly for a while, but I didn't expect that there were inscriptions on them, so I brought my ancient manuscript with me. ”

Ding Lao was a little regretful, if he could read clearly what these inscriptions meant, then the bronze sword would be much more convenient to study.

The inscription on it roughly means: This bronze sword was cast by Leng Yan, a swordsmith family in the Western Han Dynasty, and it took more than a year to cast it, and then it was given to the leader of an ethnic minority called the Wolf Rong tribe in the north. ”

Zhuo Feng said on the side.

"Oh, that's what this inscription means. Well, how did you know? I wonder you studied paleography at such a young age?"

Zhuo Feng didn't directly answer Ding Lao's question, but continued: "Some time ago, Chen Xiaoyan, Chen Lao's granddaughter, also came to see this bronze sword. She also said at the time that this wolf Rong tribe was most likely a distant descendant of a dog Rong tribe that perished in the Qin era, and the totem they worshipped happened to be a fierce black wolf. And this sword grid is decorated with a wolf's head, and this explanation is very convincing. ”

"Lao Chen, I didn't expect you to be so proficient in your granddaughter, so powerful. Hahaha. ”

Ding Lao said approvingly to Chen Yucai.

Chen Yucai smiled slightly, stroked his white beard, and nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Yucai said: "If I am not mistaken, the surface of this bronze sword is as bright as ever, the blade is sharp, patina green and there are no rust spots, it should be coated with a layer of chrome." This substance is the hardest in the world, chromium metal and its oxides are more stable, the acid and alkali resistance is quite good, and it will not be oxidized under normal circumstances. ”

As soon as Chen Yucai said this, the other three old men nodded in agreement after thinking for a while.

"This is a technology that cannot be done in the world today, and the skills of ancient craftsmen are 2,000 years ahead of us. What's more wonderful about this sword is that it uses technology to absorb a large number of iron filings on the surface of its blade, and it is distributed there in a staggered manner layer by layer, completely enveloping the bronze inside, and truly realizing camouflage protection. If you are not very knowledgeable, you will never be able to find that this layer of rust is actually a disguise. ”

Chen Yucai continued.

"Combined with everyone's opinions, although we are now using the naked eye to see, not through professional instruments to detect, but I think everyone is already very clear in their hearts. This bronze wolf-headed sword should be a real sword. And it is the only wolf head sword grid bronze sword so far. Although this sword is also incomplete, it is enough to shock the entire cultural relics world and the entire antique world. ”

Wu Lao also expressed his opinion.

Wu Laoyuan is the president of the Chinese Cultural Relics Association, and in this he and Chen Yucai can be regarded as veterans of China's current cultural relics.

Everyone nodded in unison.

"If we want to really confirm whether this bronze sword was cast in the Western Han Dynasty, we need more detailed research and discussion, we need sophisticated instruments to detect it, and we need many authoritative people to jointly give conclusions. What we can do now is to quietly appreciate and marvel at the craftsmanship of the ancients. ”

Wu Lao added.

"I am completely relieved to hand over this bronze sword to Elder Chen and the seniors to study carefully. It will cause me inconvenience to place it next to me now, and I ask Elder Chen to keep it for me, and I also ask the seniors to give this bronze sword a suitable identity and let it regain its brilliance. ”

Zhuo Feng stepped forward and said sincerely.

All four of them nodded to Zhuo Feng at the same time.

Chen Yucai nodded with satisfaction.

Several speculations about this afterlife have confirmed that this child is indeed not greedy, impatient, arrogant, or irritable, which is really rare.

This ancient sword is placed in anyone's hand, thinking that it is glorious and rich, but the next life in front of him has not thought about it like this, and he is thinking more about how to make this ancient sword shine again.

This time, Chen Yucai was even more relieved.

Then he stepped forward and said to Zhuo Feng: "Then we will take this bronze sword away first, along with the rust." Also, this Saturday, come to my house again, I have something important to look for you. ”

He turned back to the three friends.

"Okay, that's the end of today's treasure appreciation program, if you want a better treasure appreciation, you can only wait for it to come out with more specific and authoritative data. Then let's go back, go back, there are more important things to do.

"When there is still trouble for you, please raise your hand and make it easier to go. ”

"It's easy to say, everyone is an old friend, they are all people who are about to enter the ground, and now if there is a place that needs us, this old bone is gone, and we have to sacrifice ourselves into it. You say don't you? haha. ”

Wu Lao Ding Lao played at the same time haha.

Chen Yucai and his entourage wrapped the bronze sword and rust separately and brought it back to the city.

。。。。。。

On Friday afternoon, after Zhuo Feng was busy with the things at hand, he took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Niuhai.

This is what was said last week, and when the matter of Ma San's gang is over, Liu Tao will be invited to drink.

After the phone was connected, he explained his intentions, and asked Zhang Niuhai to call Liu Tao, go to find a place first, and send them the location after finding it.

After finding a restaurant, Zhuo Feng sent Zhang Niuhai a location and urged them to come quickly.

After a while, the two of them arrived.

Zhuo Feng was busy serving food and wine to the waiter.

"Brother Zhuo Feng, last time, in order not to charge you for the rental car, I said that drinking was just a joke, but I didn't think you would take it seriously. Hahaha. Haizi, you brother is enough. ”

Liu Tao said while undressing.

"I, Brother Zhuo Feng, I really don't have to say it. This is still the most sincere brother my Haizi has made in my life. ”

Zhang Niuhai also praised Zhuo Feng.

Zhuo Feng smiled, he was completely aware of how many valuable treasures he had discovered in this cow sea, and that cow sea was completely unaware.

But this also can't blame Zhuo Feng, this is all wishful thinking, you want to sell, I want to buy, it's just that my vision is a little more unique than yours. But Zhuo Feng has never treated Zhang Niuhai badly, and he tries to consider the other party where there are benefits.

This time he was involved in the resale of cultural relics, and it was only by chance, Zhang Niuhai did not know that the previous tenant was actually a person who stole and dug up ancient tombs, and his friend Liu Tao did not know about it.

Zhuo Feng re-told Zhang Niuhai and Liu Tao the words conveyed by Officer Cao, emphasizing that they had made great contributions to this arrest operation and had applied for a reward from their superiors.

Zhang Niuhai saw that he was not only whitewashed in the cultural relics resale incident, but also received honor, and he drank happily.

"In the past, although I often went to the countryside and alleys, I have seen a lot of things and seen a lot of the world, but this is the first time I have really participated in the actions of the public security organs. I also feel that only with the cooperation of the police and the people, why worry about the instability of our public order, why worry that the quality of our people will not improve, and why worry that our country will not be strong?"

"Haizi, have you drunk too much?"

Liu Tao held down Zhang Niuhai's wine glass.

"I didn't drink too much, but I was happy, happy. I am happier than selling a valuable treasure myself. ”

"You can't drink too much when you're happy. Isn't it, Brother Zhuo Feng?"

Zhuo Feng nodded, and also came over to dissuade Zhang Niuhai from drinking less.

"Brother Zhuo Feng, you are now a great people's teacher, and your words and deeds can have an impact on students. I, Haizi, will obey no one, so I will obey you as teachers. Do you say yes, Brother Zhuo Feng, come, let's drink another one. ”

Zhuo Feng smiled slightly, gently pressed Zhang Niuhai's hand with his hand, and then flicked the other one at the top of his head, and the alcohol that rushed straight to his head volatilized, and then Zhang Niuhai's consciousness was sober again.

"What happened to me? Huh? How many drinks have I had?"

Zhang Niuhai looked at the two of them in a daze.

"Hahaha, how many glasses have you drunk? You're almost all over the two bottles of wine on this table. ”

Liu Tao pointed to the two empty wine bottles on the table.

"I'm so good? When is the amount of alcohol good? So why am I okay now?"

Zhang Niuhai looked puzzled.

"Hehe, just now I saw that you were a little drunk, so I used some special abilities I learned before to help you drive out the alcohol in your blood and volatilize it. You can still drink, you can still drink. ”

Zhuo Feng replied.

"I only knew that you were very accomplished in antiques, but I didn't think you were so good in other aspects? Teacher Zhuo Feng, you are really hidden. ”

"Hehe, I've always preferred to keep a low profile, a little more low-key, and there will be a lot less trouble. ”

"It's rare that there are still people in today's society who want to be low-key, come, for low-key, a toast. ”

Liu Tao also raised his glass.

"Brother Zhuo Feng, if there is anything good in the future, remember to call my brother Haizi. I've now found that as long as I follow you, it's usually an eye-opener, just like the plot of a movie, it's very exciting. ”

Zhang Niuhai thought about some magical things every time he was with Zhuo Feng, and suddenly thought of something, look at it.

"Oh, by the way, what happened to the giant rusty sword you paid for at a high price last time? ？”

"It's not just good, it's just good. If the appraisal results come out, as expected, it should be a national treasure-level ancient sword. ”

Zhuo Feng said truthfully, there was nothing to hide in front of his friends, besides, they would still know about this matter in the future, and it would be more meaningful to say it earlier than if they knew it from another way.

"Wow, what you're saying is true? Is that a rusty sword or a national treasure?"

Zhang Niuhai couldn't believe his ears.

The rusty ancient sword had been shelved in the antique market for half a year, and the price was so high that outsiders basically didn't collect it.

"Of course it's true. The rust on the outer layer of this ancient sword was just a disguise. Removing this rust is the true appearance of the ancient sword, a bronze sword from the Western Han Dynasty. ”
