Chapter 33: The Smiling Tiger
Liu Quan took Su Yuan up to the third floor, came to a private room, pushed the door in, and there were four people sitting inside, in the middle was a thin old man with gray hair, wearing sunglasses with his eyes closed, hearing Liu Quan's voice, he smiled: "Su Xiaoyou, please sit down and chat." ”
"The juniors have seen the seniors. Su Yuan glanced at the audience, and on the left was an old man of the same age, with an ordinary face, who was looking at himself curiously, and it was speculated that it should be Zheng Qianli according to his age.
The one on the right is Shen Cheng, expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking. There was also a fat man in his early fifties next to him, and when he saw himself smiling kindly, it should be Zhou Zhengwu.
"Let me introduce you, on your left is Zheng Qianli of the Zheng family, on your right is Zhou Zhengwu, and the last one is Shen Cheng, you should have seen it. ”
Hearing the sound of Su Yuan sitting down, the blind sword weng casually introduced the others, and said straight to the point: "Everyone is their own people, no need to talk nonsense, Liu Quan should tell you the reason for today's test on the road, right?"
Su Yuan nodded, although the blind sword man was blind to the naked eye, he could feel the scrutiny from the other party, and hugged his fists and said: "I came to the Famous Sword Villa to become a real sword master, since the old man gave me a chance, I naturally went all out." ”
"Okay, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!" Before the blind sword Weng could speak, Zheng Qianli next to him slapped the table and laughed: "How many years have there been no young people as bold as you, it's a bit interesting." ”
"Elder Zheng is right, I have long heard that there is a great person in our villa, known as a judge?" Zhou Zhengwu looked Su Yuan up and down, and said with a smile: "It's better to see than to hear, and it really deserves its reputation." ”
"Hehe, if you want to talk about Judge Su's sword level, the old man is a person who has seen a lot of power!" Shen Chengpi smiled and said: "But friendship is friendship, the reputation of our famous sword villa cannot be lost, please pay more attention to the test later." ”
"Hmph, they're all old foxes!"
Su Yuan smiled, scolding in his heart, Zhou Zhengwu and Shen Cheng would definitely try their best to embarrass themselves, and they would prevent themselves from becoming the sixth swordsman, both in public and private.
In their eyes, he has long belonged to the blind sword Weng faction, and now Zheng Qianli of the Famous Sword Villa does not ask about the world, Xu Kui is not good at socializing, although Liu Quan is known as the general manager, but his professional level is not good, and his influence is not enough.
Although the blind sword Weng is capable, he is old and weak after all, so Shen Cheng and Zhou Zhengwu have the opportunity to make a big fuss. No, to be more precise, it should be that the Zhou family and the Shen family have long wanted to control the golden signboard of the Famous Sword Villa!
"Don't worry, the test will definitely be fair and impartial, and I will supervise it!" Blind Sword Weng snorted lightly, pointed to the box next to him, and explained: "All the answers have been written on paper in advance, sealed in the box, and when you finish answering, you will verify it on the spot, and there will be no favoritism." ”
Su Yuan smiled slightly, stood up, and said confidently: "Since everyone has no problem, then the test starts, who will come first?"
Several people were silent for a while, Zheng Qianli looked at the blind sword Weng, and said with a smile: "I'll be the first to come, it can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade to warm you up." ”
After speaking, he took out three swords, put them on the table in turn, and said, "I heard that your sword has reached the realm of one leaf knowing autumn?"
Liu Quan took a deep breath and slowly came to the side of the box, and he was responsible for verifying the answer in public, looking at Su Yuan, his heart was very nervous.
Su Yuan nodded, picked up the first sword on the left, pulled out the scabbard, lightly tapped the sword blade a few times with his hand, and said loudly: "Ten times of flowing water folding and forging, with a blood groove to reduce weight, the sword edge is dense and even, one foot and five inches is the sword bone, and two feet and one inch is the sword heart. ”
"This thousand-character number in the late Qing Dynasty, using the Ming Dynasty Baotou steel technology, is full of four, the outer blade steel provides excellent sharpness and bending resistance, and the soft heart iron makes the sword have good cushioning and shock resistance. ”
"The surface is a cow hair, the heart of the sword is hidden in the gauntlet two inches, if you try the sword, at least it is the top ten on the list. ”
Looking at Zheng Qianli's surprised expression, he picked up the last sword and said with a smile: "The blade is as clear as water, the texture is vivid, and at first glance, it is a masterpiece of inlaid steel burning blades." ”
"After the inlay is quenched, the boundary between the blade and the blade surface produces a line of particles like silver sand, like stars in the night. ”
"The visual sense of the blade will be clearer than the blade, and the ancient book is called Bai Jian, which is the appearance of the highest grade. At the same time, the blade will produce a beautiful natural arc, and the process requirements are extremely high, and it is impossible to do it without a master. ”
"This ......" Zheng Qianli looked at Su Yuan blankly, in less than five minutes, all three swords were finished?
"Liu Quan, verify the answer!"
The blind sword Weng seemed to be expressionless, but he also set off a storm in his heart, and quickly asked Liu Quan to take out the answer to verify it in public, accompanied by a reading aloud, all the comments hit the nail on the head, not bad at all!
"What a Judge Su!" Zheng Qianli stood up after hearing this, clasped his hands into fists, and said with a straight face: "Xiaoyou's eyesight is amazing, and the old man admires it!"
Su Yuan returned the salute, turned to look at the other two, and asked, "Who's next?"
Shen Cheng and Zhou Zhengwu glanced at each other, then looked at the silent blind swordsman, and secretly cursed the old fox. Zhou Zhengwu could only stand up, give Su Yuan a thumbs up, and exclaimed: "It is rumored that Judge Su can break the sword at a glance, but I originally thought it was an exaggeration, but today it seems that it is more than that." ”
Su Yuan waved his hand, Liu Quan was right, Zhou Zhengwu was definitely a smiling tiger, he obviously slapped Zhou Zhenggang's face twice, and now his own brother can still laugh?
"But since it is related to the century-old prestige of our famous sword villa, then Zhou must not be sloppy, there are five swords here, and please palm your eyes!"
After speaking, he took out five swords and put them on the table, three swords and two swords, antique, at first glance, it was an antique with an age, and asked with a smile: "How is it? Our swordsmith is also an ordinary man, and it is indispensable to deal with the market, I don't know if Judge Su knows anything about the sword market?"
"Shameless!" Liu Quan's face changed after hearing this, and his newly relaxed mood instantly became nervous, staring at the smiling tiger Zhou Zhengwu, and scolded secretly: "I actually forgot this!"
Zhou Zhengwu stared at Su Yuan, seeing that the other party did not have any panicked look, and asked: "My test is very simple, three swords and two swords, as long as you choose the highest value, you will pass the test!"
Old Puff!
Su Yuan showed a smile, and scolded secretly in his heart, he was worthy of a smiling tiger, so he was waiting for Lao Tzu here?
Without saying a word, he began to look at the sword, and all kinds of information flashed in his eyes, if he didn't have advanced swordsmanship, it would be really hard to say who would kill the deer!
Zhou Zhengwu sat down slowly, picked up the teacup, and had a leisurely expression. Looking at Su Yuan's energetic face, a hint of pleasure flashed in his heart that the conspiracy had succeeded.
"Boy, offending our Zhou family can only be regarded as your bad luck!" Zhou Zhengwu secretly glanced at the blind sword man, and said secretly in his heart: "The old immortal still wants to die in the end? Hmph, think beautiful!"
Shen Cheng smiled slightly, looking forward to the scene where Su Yuan would lose face later, and even thought about how to fall into the well. I have long known that the other party's sword level is very high, and in all fairness, only the blind sword man can compete with him.
