Chapter 20: Gambling on the Sword Kiln

After Liu Quan finished speaking, he looked at Su Yuan and said, "Don't worry, after all, the Famous Sword Villa is the life's work of the owner, and it must not be corrupted in the hands of scum like Shen Cheng and Zhou Zhengwu." ”

"In the future, you will do it boldly, with me behind your back, as long as it is fair and just, no one can bully you!"

Su Yuan agreed with a smile and left the office, he didn't have much affection for Mingjian Villa, he came here just to complete the task.

Nonsense, with the help of the golden finger, how can a small waterhole trap the dragon from ascending to heaven?

However, if you want to mix well in Longquan, fame is indispensable, if Shen Cheng dares to provoke in person, it will be one word:

Dry!

This afternoon, I was lucky, and I reviewed the success of two swords one after another, both of which were friends introduced by Hu Jinquan, the level was good, and the people were also humble and studious, and there were only three left from the goal.

Today is the weekend, Su Yuan went out early, took a taxi to Dongshui Village on the outskirts of the city, chatted with Hu Jinquan yesterday, and heard that the villagers here dug up a Qing Dynasty sword kiln.

This kind of thing is normal in Longquan, as the thousand-year-old sword casting capital, the Ming and Qing Dynasty army weapon forging base, I don't know how many ancient swords are buried deep underground.

Someone is responsible for shoveling the land, as long as I hear that the ancient sword is dug up, purchased at a low price, and then sold again, it was popular ten years ago.

Now that the craze has receded, the quality of playing swords is getting higher and higher, and the early professional shovelers have completed the primitive accumulation, and have changed careers to become professional brokers, taking the mid-to-high-end route, booking the works of local sword casting masters and selling them to foreign collectors.

Qian Fatzi is one of the representatives, Su Yuan inquired, he is actually a well-known sword merchant in Longquan, and he has deep connections. Not only Zhou Zhenggang, but many masters have cooperated, and even Hu Jinquan has dealings.

When I came to the entrance of the village, I came to a farmer's house after several inquiries, and heard that I was going to buy an ancient sword, so the man enthusiastically took Su Yuan to the backyard, and more than 20 boxes were neatly arranged in a row.

"10,000 choose a box, no return or exchange!"

Su Yuan nodded, this is the rule, when the business was hot, the ancient swords were unearthed and sold. In the past few years, the market has not been good, and the villagers are not stupid, so they simply package and sell.

Ten handfuls are put into the box, some good and some bad, it all depends on the eyesight. Su Yuan saw that he would come alone today, bargain with the male host, and finally choose one of the eight thousand.

When I opened the first box, many of the ancient swords in it did not have scabbards, and they were covered with mud, and some were even rusty.

No way, no matter how good the metal is, it will be buried in the ground for hundreds of years, invaded by various magazines, and the surface will always lose its luster. But for enthusiasts, as long as they are carefully polished, the quality will not be affected, which is also the greatest pleasure of picking up leaks.

Su Yuan quickly opened the box, and while no one hurriedly picked up the leak, others looked at it for a long time, and he could get it at a glance. Until the tenth box, suddenly the eyes lit up.

"Just these two boxes!"

The villagers looked at Su Yuan, and they had finished reading it all so quickly, but after seeing the red Grandpa Mao, they smiled and helped carry the boxes into the car, and watched the big customers leave.

When he got home, Su Yuan took out two swords from the two boxes, threw the others away, and began to polish them, carefully removing the gray oxide layer on the blade, and soon the two swords were sharp.

"Haha, it's another yellow lightsaber!"

Su Yuan looked at the Qingkui Dragon Pattern Seven-Star Sword in his hand, covering the sword body on three sides, the steel clamping was complete, and the forging pattern was fine. Narrow and sharp, embedded with seven stars, open long blood groove.

The blade is in the shape of a leek leaf, dark in color, and a cold light shines through when it turns. The front of the sword root is engraved with the demon and the Longquan sword inscription, and the reverse side is engraved with a daily picture of the flying dragon.

The tail of the sword body is injected with the Beidou star shape by the copper inlay method, each star is a dot, there is a line, and it is identified from the star-shaped pattern, which should be produced before and after Xianfeng.

Su Yuan looked at the inscription on the gauntlet, the handwriting was clear, and after being leveled and polished, it was like writing, and it would never disappear.

Non-Zi Number!

Su Yuan was overjoyed, as an authentic Longquan sword, all hand-forged, the casting process is complex, and the output has not been much in history. By 1947, wars were frequent, and all sword shops in Longquan were completely closed.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, due to historical reasons, swords were strictly banned as controlled knives for a long time, and the output was very small. In addition, after the seizure and destruction of the steel smelting and the destruction of the four olds in 1958, the Longquan sword of the early years was almost wiped out in the mainland, and it was difficult to find a trace.

Hurry up to check on the Internet, even more excited, only three have been found in the world, all of which are collected by the premier Wanjian Villa on Hong Kong Island, one of the three is the Qing Dynasty sword.

One side of the sword body is engraved with a five-clawed golden dragon figure, the other side is engraved with the four characters of Longquan sword, and engraved with a symbol, there is a blood groove in the center of both sides of the sword body, and seven stars are inscribed, the sword grid is in the shape of a tiger's head, and there is a word near the handle.

Now it is so rare that even the Longquan government can't collect an authentic ancient Longquan sword in order to promote the sword culture!

Su Yuan raised the sword, his whole body was dark, and the yellow light in his eyes was rich, which was better than the flowing water sword.

What's even more rare is that the light is evenly distributed, there is basically no difference, only three inches above the gauntlet is slightly flawed, which is the existence of the sword heart.

"Good sword!"

This is the strongest Longquan sword he has seen so far, it looks ordinary on the outside, but it is actually very clumsy, and it is more powerful than the flowing water sword.

"There is also this Lianhua Sword, which is at least the top three on the list. ”

Pick up another sword, the cold light is like water, the blade is as clear as a lotus, the texture is clear, and the layers are clear. The faint yellow light flowing on the blade of the sword, although it was not as rich as the Seven Star Sword and the Flowing Water Sword, it was also a rare yellow light sword.

Today, I returned with a full load, and I got two yellow light swords at one time, and even a once-in-a-century seven-star sword!

I went out and bought red sandalwood handguards, black shark skin scabbards, and after re-polishing and decorating, I was radiant and full of luxury.

"There were still a lot of masters in ancient times!" Su Yuan carefully studied the two swords, and couldn't help but sigh at the superb craftsmanship of the ancients, especially the forging, which was simply wonderful.

The Lianhua sword in front of him adopts the ancient method of flowing water, and it is divided into thickness, and there is a return at the tip of the edge, which is also one of the references for judging whether the blade body of this kind of forging texture is broken and broken.

The coarse ones flow evenly on the blade body, and the thin ones mostly appear in the middle of the blade body, and there are also those that spine out between the blades.

The texture stretches smoothly, indeed like gurgling water, rippling blue waves. At the same time, there is also a type of texture, such as a few ripples in the water, evenly distributed on the blade body, known as thumb fingerprints.

The other seven-star sword is even more difficult to rotate weld, with patterns like feathers, fish intestines, chrysanthemums, and ladders. The texture is very regular, and the pattern presented is brilliant and beautiful.

The Song people's meticulous "Cloud and Smoke Passing Through the Eyes" recorded: grate knife one, its iron are fine flowers, the cloud is a silver piece of fine cutting, and the iron sheet is finely cut like silk hair, and then the group hits ten thousand mallets, which is a natural flower.

Mingren Cao Zhao's "Gegu Essentials": Iron out of the West, there are spiral snail flowers on the face, there are sesame snowflakes, where the sword is polished and clean, with gold alum, its flowers are seen, the value is too gold and silver.

"Wu Yue Spring and Autumn" is subdivided into more than a dozen types: turtle text, manli, flowing water, hibiscus, abyss, high mountain, big river, flowing waves, ice release and other patterns. This patterned blade is extremely tough and sharp, the edge has the effect of hidden serrations, and due to the different combinations of steel and raw wrought iron, it has the characteristics of rigidity and softness.

As soon as the other swords collided with it, there were few who continued to be damaged.

It can be described as invincible!
