At this time, some pictures flashed in Wang Guan's mind. The sharp Red Sky Sword slashed away, breaking through the enemy's armor and stabbing directly into the body. The hot blood spurted out at once, dripping onto the blade of the sword as bright as frost and snow.
The blade of the sword may seem smooth on the surface, but in fact it hides many subtle and hidden crevices. When the blood rendered past, the blade naturally intercepted a little. Over time, the dark red blood coagulated on the sword, naturally making the snow-white and bright Chixiao Sword reveal red brilliance.
Maybe the sword was originally nameless, but it was with such characteristics that seeing the red light rushing into the sky gave rise to the name Chixiao. This is not purely made up, after all, the inscription on the sword is very simple, and it looks like it was added after the sword was cast.
Just when Wang Guan's thoughts were fluctuating, Yu Feibai couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to open the lid of the pot to see the situation.
"Don't rush."
Qian Lao stretched out his hand to stop and said, "Wait a little longer......"
"I'm not in a hurry, I just take a look, look at the heat." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Old Qian, is this fire a little small, do you want to turn up the fire?" ”
"It's good to warm the fire, the fire is too fierce, and it's not a good thing." Qian Lao smiled: "It's said it's boiling, but it's actually simmering." Let the sword body be heated evenly, so that the rust film can be dissolved. ”
"What's dissolving?"
At this moment, Tang Qinghua walked in outside, saw a cauldron in the courtyard, and was immediately surprised: "What are you doing here?" The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and you still plan to cook zongzi? ”
"Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival to cook zongzi?" Yu Feibai didn't answer and asked: "Do you cook zongzi in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" ”
"Yes."
Tang Qinghua nodded and said, "If the old man in the family wants to eat, he will directly wrap the zongzi and cook it." There's still a lot left, and it tastes pretty good, so I'll send you some to try back. ”
"Excuse me." Yu Feibai muttered: "Don't make moon cakes and wrap zongzi." It's really unusual. ”
"You don't cook zongzi, but you are cooking a big pot of wine, I think it's strange."
Before coming in, Tang Qinghua also smelled the rich aroma of wine, and after coming in, he found that the aroma of wine came from the pot, and he naturally felt very strange: "What do you do with good cooking wine?" ”
"It's not boiling wine, it's boiling ......swords," Wang Guan explained.
"Boiled swords?"
At the right time, Tang Qinghua also noticed the half-cut hilt on the outside of the pot lid, which must have made him even more surprised: "What's going on?" This sword seems to be made of metal. Can you also use it for cooking? ”
"It must be cooked when necessary." Yu Feibai waved his hand and said: "Don't talk nonsense, you don't understand the situation, just stay and watch the excitement, so as not to expose your ignorance." ”
Tang Qinghua was speechless for an instant, and glared at Yu Feibai a few times with murderous eyes, but with his cheekiness, his eyes couldn't help him at all.
Seeing this situation, Tang Qinghua shook his head helplessly and directly inquired about the situation with Wang Guan.
Wang Guan smiled. Explain casually.
"Chixiao!"
Suddenly, Tang Qinghua was also a little surprised: "Really fake? ”
"I just don't know, that's why I'm verifying."
While speaking, Yu Feibai opened the lid of the pot again to inspect the situation inside. But this time. Qian Lao didn't stop him. The moment Yu Feibai took off the lid of the pot, he saw a cloud of mushroom-like steam immediately rising out.
After a while, it was only when the steam cleared that everyone could see the inside of the pot.
At this time. The wine in the pot was still boiling, but the originally clear and transparent wine was a little more dark red at this time. However, everyone looked closely. only to find that the rust film on the sword body was still there, and there was no sign of fading.
"Looks like the heat isn't enough."
Yu Feibai frowned: "I have to continue to cook." Qian Lao, how long do you think it will take to cook? ”
"Almost."
Qian Lao thought about it, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Go get a bucket of water." ”
"Huh?"
When Wang Guan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Old Qian, are you planning to quench it?" ”
"This method has a spectrum, hot and cold, and it should work." Yu Feibai also figured it out, and immediately rushed to fetch a bucket of water and came back.
At the same time, Wang Guan also wrapped the hilt of the sword with a thick towel, then took advantage of the situation to draw the long sword, and then quickly soaked it in the clear water. In an instant, everyone heard a sizzling sound and a burst of heat rising out.
After a few moments, the blade quickly cooled down. Immediately, everyone clearly saw that there were fine mottled chips on the sword body that broke away and floated in the clear water.
"It's done, it's ......"
Seeing this situation, Yu Feibai was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly urged: "Wang Guan, take it out, take out the sword and take a look." ”
Yu Feibai didn't say anything, Wang Guan also planned to do this, with a happy smile on his face, he gently pulled out the sword, and then carefully wiped off the water stains on the sword body with a towel first, and then raised it slightly to look at it.
At this moment, the thin film of rust had fallen off, and the blade naturally returned to its original form.
Under the reflection of the sun, a bright and very restrained luster emerges, full of luxurious atmosphere. The two-character seal script and sword inscription of Chixiao are also very clearly presented in front of everyone.
Seeing this situation, Yu Feibai no longer had the slightest suspicion, and immediately said happily: "It's really Chixiao, absolutely right." ”
"You're turning your face too fast."
At this time, Wang Guan teased while admiring the peerless elegance of the Chixiao Sword: "I was resolute just now, and I didn't admit it, why did I change my face all of a sudden now." ”
"I'm respecting the facts."
Yu Feibai didn't have the slightest look of guilt, but said confidently: "And you said it, it was just now." What was the situation just now, what is the situation now, how can it be confused? ”
"Okay, whatever you say, you're justified." Wang Guan smiled, and he didn't have the heart to care.
"Of course, the facts I said are reasonable." Yu Feibai defended again, and then stretched out his hand and asked, "Take it and take a look." Don't forget, you bought this sword in the first place, and I have a share of the credit. ”
Speaking of this, Yu Feibai couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "I knew earlier, I would have bought it myself." ”
"At that time, you didn't believe that this was Chixiao......" Wang Guan handed over the hilt of the sword.
"Who knew that such a peerless sword was actually covered with rust marks." Yu Feibai sighed. After taking the sword, he looked at it carefully for a moment, and he couldn't help but reach out and brush it on the spine of the sword.
"Huh."
Yu Feibai was stunned: "This feel...... It doesn't seem to have the delicate lubrication as expected. ”
"Not only is it not smooth, but it also has a slight rough rubbing feeling." Wang Guan also noticed this situation just now, and nodded when he heard it: "But it is understandable, after all, the adsorption power of the sword body is so strong, and the texture is a little rough, which is also a matter of course." It is nothing more than that the swordsmith deliberately handled it this way in order to increase the lethality of the blade. ”
"Wang Guan has a lot of sense."
At the same time, Qian Lao agreed: "Such a process treatment. Not only does it increase its lethality, but it is actually a decoration that makes the blade more ornate and beautiful. ”
"Gorgeous and beautiful?"
Yu Feibai thought about it, waved his sword again, inspected the flow of the blade, and finally nodded: "It is indeed more beautiful, especially these textures, which can not only absorb blood, but also seem to be able to absorb sunlight." The sword body has no light reflection, creating a kind of treasure light connotation, and the belly has the beauty of poetry and calligraphy. ”
"It's nothing."
However, Qian Lao shook his head slightly and said, "To be honest." Although the Chixiao Sword has been restored to its original form, it still seems to me to be a little incomplete. ”
"Incomplete?"
Yu Feibai was stunned and said, "Old Qian, you said it was bad." Needless to say, the blade of the sword. The blade is like frost and snow, and there is no case of curling the blade at all. And sharp, although not tried. But I'm sure it will be clear. In addition, there is the hilt, which does look a little old, but the material is sturdy and there are no signs of decay...... Uh, I seem to get it. ”
Speaking of the hilt of the sword, Yu Feibai naturally looked at it, and it was at this time that he immediately realized that he understood what Qian Lao meant when he said that it was incomplete.
"Old Qian, you want to talk about colorful beads and Jiuhua jade."
It is recorded very clearly in the ancient books that Emperor Han Gao cut the snake sword, and the sword was decorated with seven pearls and nine jade. This is the distinguishing feature of the Chixiao Sword, and the Chixiao Sword without pearl jade is indeed somewhat incomplete.
At this time, Yu Feibai scratched his head and said: "These two things are also rare treasures, I don't know where they were lost." Even if it is handed down, it is estimated that it is treasured at home and kept secret, and it is ...... to want to collect it."
I'm afraid of what, Yu Feibai can't go on.
Because at this time, Wang Guan reached out and touched it in his pocket, and then took out two beads. The beads are very round, held in the palm of his hand, reflecting the bright sun, and suddenly intertwined with a brilliant brilliance.
"Damn!"
Yu Feibai's eyes widened, he was standing next to Wang Guan, and he naturally saw it very clearly. These two beads have their own characteristics, one of which has several small holes in it, and the light reciprocates in the holes at the same time, reflecting the infinite brilliance.
The other bead was not inferior, although it had only two small holes, but in the sunlight, it was translucent, and there were twists and turns in the inside of the bead, winding like a dragon's gap.
There is no doubt that these two beads are colorful beads and Jiuhua jade.
"These two things ......"
In addition to being shocked, Yu Feibai was also very puzzled: "When I bought a sword, it didn't seem to be there, right?" ”
"Well, not really."
Wang Guan said with a smile: "Actually, I got these two beads first before I met the Chixiao Sword. ”
"What?"
Not to mention the surprise of others, anyway, Yu Feibai was very indignant and puzzled: "It's so deep, when did you get the pearl, why don't I know?" ”
"This Jiuhua jade (Jiuqu bead), that's a gift from someone else." Wang Guan chuckled and explained: "You forgot, when we were in Shudu, didn't someone give us gifts." You got a jade Ruyi, I got a bead......"
"Not really."
At the right time, Yu Feibai recalled and couldn't help but exclaim: "Isn't that bead a cultured pearl?" ”
"I thought it was, but then I found out it wasn'......" (To be continued......
