Chapter 133: Wu Chu Zhan Lu, Great Xia Dragon Sparrow
The long object in the box was tightly wound by strips of cloth.
However, after hundreds of years of erosion, those strips of cloth have also become a little corrupted. Wang Guan pulled it casually, and the strips of cloth were like flying butterflies, fluttering and falling down.
The strips of cloth were scattered, and the pitch-black leather appeared in front of the eyes of the two of them. As Wang Guan continued to tear off the strip of cloth, Yu Feibai next to him speculated: "This seems to be a weapon." ”
Feeling that the weapon was a little straight, Wang Mian speculated: "It seems to be a sword." ”
"Could it be Zhang Xianzhong's sidearm?" Yu Feibai frowned, slightly disappointed. After all, compared to the jade seal, the value of the weapon must be more than a grade lower.
"I don't know. However, this doesn't seem to be a sword ......."
While speaking, Wang Guan pulled the strip of cloth wrapped around the bottom of the sheath Chapter 133 Wu Chu Zhan Lu, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow opened and found a slightly oblique arc.
"If it's not a sword, will it be a sword?" Yu Feibai shook his head and said: "You see, the weapon is straight, and the sheath body has no slightly curved arc at all, how can it be a knife." ”
"Isn't it, just pull it out and see." Wang Guan smiled and sped up the speed of tearing the strips of cloth. Soon, what has been sealed for hundreds of years completely takes on its original appearance.
This is really a long weapon, more than a meter long, very straight. On the handle of the hand, it is a ring, and the ring is wrapped with gold wire, embellished with dragon scales. Among them, there is also a bird-shaped decoration in the ring, which is very gorgeous and exquisite.
"Wang Guan, you may have guessed correctly."
Seeing this, Yu Feibai was a little surprised: "This kind of ring-shaped handle seems to be an ancient ring-headed knife-shaped system. ”
"It's supposed to be a ring-headed knife, yes." Wang Guan nodded lightly. After all, he had only seen the seven-star treasure knife imitated by Luo Rucai for a short time, how could he have forgotten it so quickly.
It seems that in ancient times, the swords of the Chinese people seemed to be in the same line. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the bronze sword building technology has been very perfect, reaching the peak of perfection. Until now, there are many famous sword legends that have been handed down.
Later, with the 133rd chapter of the war, Wu Chu Zhanlu, the continuous outbreak of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, and the discovery and application of iron, weapons also underwent changes. Among them, the shape of the sword was changed to a knife shape, which can also be called a major breakthrough in the history of weapons.
You must know that the sword has blades on both sides, and although it is flexible and mobile, it is not conducive to immediate combat, chopping, and easy to break. However, the thickness of the back of the knife increases when it is only sharpened, and when it is wielded, the lethality is even more rapid.
Moreover, on the battlefield, there is often only one chance to make a shot. No matter how dexterous the sword is, it is not as powerful as the sword. Or, the so-called strength to break the skill, that's the reason. It was from that time on, the sword gradually withdrew from the battlefield, and the sword became the mainstream weapon of war.
However, since the sword is an improved version of the sword. So, for a long time in ancient times, starting from the Han Dynasty and continuing to the Tang Dynasty, the knife was in the shape of a straight blade. As for the popularity of scimitars, that should be after the Yuan.
"Let's see if we can pull it out."
At this time, Yu Feibai chuckled and said, "After being sealed for hundreds of years, maybe the knife and scabbard have been completely rusted." ”
"Not really."
Wang Guan said with a smile: "I feel that the blade is still quite new, and even the leather of the sheath is not damaged." ”
"I'm afraid that the gold and jade will be outside, and I will be ruined!" Yu Feibai shook his head and said, not very optimistic.
"......"
At the same time, Wang Guan exerted his strength slightly, and pulled out the handle of the ring head knife in his hand, and after a slight sound, a dazzling streamer suddenly floated in the air.
"Hey, what's going on!"
Both Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were a little stunned. Subconsciously blinked, avoiding the light.
After a few seconds, the vision returned to normal, and the two of them realized that the source of the original dazzling light was actually on the straight blade in Wang Guan's hand. I saw that the slender and straight blade exuded a bright luster under the reflection of the sun.
If you look closely, you will find that this bright luster is not static, but like ripples in water, layer after layer, undulating, very gorgeous.
"What is this ......?"
Yu Feibai was stunned, staring blankly at the brilliant light, his eyes a little intoxicated.
"Ancient Sword."
Wang Guan also moved a little, and gently reached out and stroked the back of the straight blade, only to feel that the blade surface was a little cold, very smooth, and had a silky texture, giving people an indescribable beauty.
"Show me."
Without waiting for Wang Guan to carefully appreciate the texture on the straight blade, Yu Feibai couldn't wait to reach out and snatch it.
"Be careful, don't move ......"
Wang Guan was a little frightened, holding a straight blade in his hand, he could intuitively feel that the edge of the blade was exposed. The sharpness may not be as exaggerated as sharpening iron like clay, but there is certainly no problem in cutting flesh and bones.
Under Wang Guan's persuasion, Yu Feibai's movements slowed down. After Wang Guan carefully put the ring head straight blade in his hand, Yu Feibai immediately got up, raised his knife in his hand, and slashed in the air.
"Hoo ......"
The brilliant and shiny blade, effortlessly, burst through the air, emitting a faint sound.
"Good stuff, definitely a baby." Yu Feibai's fingers gently caressed the blade surface, as if they were touching the smooth skin of the beautiful girl, and his face showed an intoxicated expression, and he whispered: "You see, the forging patterns on the blade are arranged in an orderly and exquisite manner, and they must be made of huā pattern steel." ”
"Huā steel, what's that?" Wang Guan asked curiously, he was not a lover of cold weapons. Usually, I read some information and know a little about Han Sword and Tang Knife. As for the proper nouns, it is not very clear.
"Huā steel, that is, what the Europeans call Damascus steel, in our ancient times, was called iron."
At this time, Yu Feibai came back to his senses and explained: "It is to fold and forge the iron repeatedly, forming a shape and texture similar to flowing water, clouds, wood grains, and chrysanthemums. ”
"The legendary swords, Ganjiang, Mo Ye, Long Yuan, Fish Intestines, etc., are all bronze huā blades."
Speaking of this, Yu Feibai said with great regret: "It's a pity that this kind of huā blade casting technology is extremely complex and difficult, and the manufacturer is extremely secretive. Until now, only a very small number of authentic traditional craftsmen have been able to restore the ancient method and master this technique after research. ”
"Is there still a small thing that has been lost in ancient times?" Wang Guan didn't have so much emotion, his eyes were sharp, and he found that there seemed to be words on the edge of the blade, and hurriedly reminded: "Look at what words are engraved on the edge." ”
The words on the wings seem to blend with the texture of the blade, and they just faintly emerge. If you don't look closely, it's really easy to ignore.
"It seems to be a seal character, so it's a long paragraph."
Hearing the reminder, Yu Feibai hurriedly looked down, raised the straight blade, slowly identified it from top to bottom, and read it out at the same time: "Ancient sharp weapons, Wu Chu Zhanlu, Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, Famous Crown Divine Capital." You can be far away, you can be soft; Like the popular grass, it is subdued by the nine districts. ”
"What does this mean?"
Wang Guan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I only heard it, the first four sentences, as if to say, the ancient divine weapons, there are Zhan Lu, Daxia Dragon Bird, very famous." As for the last four sentences, I don't quite understand. ”
"Hehe, I don't know." Yu Feibai grinned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know very well, anyway, it must be a good word of praise." ”
"Cut ......"
Wang Guan said with some contempt: "Who doesn't know what it means to praise, what I want to know is the specific meaning......
"It's not easy, you can look up information on the Internet."
While speaking, Yu Feibai took out his mobile phone in his pocket and threw it to Wang Guan. Then, with a knife in both hands, he gestured back and forth in the air, eager to try.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Guan hurriedly asked, taking a few steps back, so as not to be injured by mistake.
"The legendary huā pattern steel blade is extremely hard and sharp, and can cut through dozens of pieces of iron armor." Yu Feibai's expression was excited, and he said in a somewhat yin* tone: "Don't you want to try the sharpness of the blade?" ”
Wang Guan was tempted and hesitated: "How are you going to try?" First of all, you can't really cut iron, if the blade is rolled, or there is a burst of mutilation, it is an irreparable regret. ”
"Rest assured, it's definitely starting with the simplest." Yu Feibai smiled, reaching out and groping for the top of his head.
Seeing Yu Feibai's movements, Wang Guan was also a little confused, but when Yu Feibai pulled out a hair and came down, he immediately understood his thoughts.
"You're going to have a haircut?" Wang Guan looked strange and said suspiciously: "As long as the blade is sharp, it will definitely not be a problem to cut hair in the air." But it doesn't seem to be easy to blow your hair and break it......"
"Whether it works or not, you have to try it to know."
Yu Feibai was very confident, flipped his wrist, adjusted the angle of the blade, and then put a thin hair on the top of the blade, quickly let go, and blew a breath. In an instant, the air curls through the hair, collides with the sharp edge, and then silently splits in two, falling to both sides.
"Really succeeded?" Wang Guan was stunned, a little incredulous.
"Haha, I knew it was going to be like this." Yu Feibai couldn't help but move, holding the blade and laughing wildly. There are really some treasure knives in hand, leaning on the sky, who is competing with the momentum.
After laughing, Yu Feibai couldn't wait to look left and right, as if he was thinking about what to do next.
"Why don't you try a straw mat?"
At the same time, Wang Guan also had a bit of a lively mentality, and suggested on the side: "I remember that when the program introduced swords on TV, when trying out the sword, it was generally used mats, newspapers, and the like. ”
"Okay, roll up the mat and go downstairs."
Yu Feibai said without hesitation: "The space in the hall is large, which is convenient for activities. ”
While speaking, Yu Feibai carefully put the straight blade back into the sheath, then lifted the quilt on his bed, pulled up the mat and hurried downstairs.
Soon after, the two of them arrived in the hall and moved some of the chairs out of the way, revealing a large space. Then, the rolled straw mat is erected and placed in the center position.
At this moment, Yu Feibai's face was solemn, holding the handle of the knife with one hand, and his eyes were fixed on the straw mat, as if he was looking at the enemy.
Next to him, Wang Guan gave orders, waved his right hand, and shouted: "Open ...... Begin! ”
"Kill!" (To be continued!!
