"I know Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but I don't know the biography of the Han Dynasty."

Wang Guan shook his head and said in a low voice: "As for Luan Jiao, it was when I was in college, I was bored and read a book of ten continents in the sea, which has a record of Luan Jiao, it is said that there is Feng Lin Zhou in the West Sea, many immortals, boiled phoenix beak and linjiao decoction as paste, can continue the bow and crossbow has broken strings, the name continues the string glue, also known as Luan Jiao." ”

"Isn't that a myth or legend?" Yu Feibai was also very surprised.

"I've heard the word Luanjiao before."

At the same time, Lei Yunzhang spoke: "Your current generation of young people may not have read Liang Yusheng's novels. He has a book called Sword Net Dust Silk, which starts with the title of Chapter 192 "Although it is Luan Jiao and then continues the pipa, it is better than the calyx Luhua back then", which mentions Luan Jiao. Later, I checked the information in Chapter 192, only to find out that this Luan Jiao continued string, which is a metaphor for a man who remarries after losing his wife. ”

"I've always thought that Luan glue and continuous strings are adjectives, and I never knew they were real things."

Speaking of this, Lei Yunzhang asked, "Xiaoqin, are you really sure that there is such a thing as Luan Jiao in this world?" ”

"Uncle Lei, you don't even believe me?" Qin Yue was a little unhappy, frowned, and said, "Do you really think that I can't tell what reality is and what is a legend." ”

"I have also seen the records of the ten continents in the sea, the above-mentioned Luan glue, boiled phoenix beak and linjiao, combined with decoction as paste, the name is the continuation of the string glue, or the name of the gold mud. This kind of gum is as green as jasper, and it was paid tribute to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu used to continue the bowstring, and ordered people to pull the ends of the bow hard, but the string was not broken. ”

Qin Yue shook her head and said, "You think this is a legend, a story attached to the ancient monks. Can't be taken seriously. I think there's a reason for that. ”

"How?" Wang Guan was very curious.

"Aside from the Immortal Mountain Divine Island in the Ten Continents Chronicle, there are also those immortal elixirs, soul rejuvenation grass, etc., unrealistic things, we can also ignore them directly. But Luan Jiao, in my opinion, is a real thing. ”

Qin Yue smiled and said, "I know that you know that there must be objections to Ken Chapter 192." Do you want to ask about the phoenix beak and the horn? ”

"yes."

Yu Feibai nodded and said with a smile: "Whether it's a phoenix or a unicorn." They are all legendary psychic beasts. But no one has ever actually seen the real thing, and it is basically certain that it is a species imaginary by the ancients. ”

"Who said no one had seen it."

Qin Yue chuckled: "As long as you open the history books, pay attention to the period of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and the Qin and Han Kingdoms." Whether it is a phoenix, a unicorn, or a vermilion bird, a white tiger and other supernatural creatures, they are all clearly recorded in the history books. It's just that in the Sui and Tang dynasties, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are fewer and fewer records in this area, and they are almost extinct now. ”

"This ......"

Yu Feibai frowned, very entangled.

No wonder some people often say that there are two things in the world that are the hardest to solve, one is to stuff one's own ideas into other people's heads, and the other is to put money in other people's pockets.

Now Qin Yue obviously believes in the strange things in the history books. Yu Feibai felt that no matter how she persuaded her, even if she told her that most of the records in the history books were not true, she might be able to find a reason to refute it.

So what else is there to say, it's better to save some effort and avoid a lot of tongues.

However. Compared with Yu Feibai's entanglement, Wang Guan was thoughtful, as if he understood something.

"I see."

Suddenly, Wang Guan figured it out and couldn't help laughing: "We seem to be on the tip of the horns." ”

"What's the tip of the horns?"

Yu Feibai was a little inexplicable and puzzled.

It's Qin Yue. Clear eyes lit slightly, pursed his lips and smiled: "You really understand?" ”

"Really understood."

Wang nodded and chuckled: "Just now, we were always obsessed with the phoenix and unicorn, which are powerful creatures in our imagination, but we ignored that in ancient times, this kind of creature was not as powerful as we imagined now. I remember that the dragons and phoenixes mentioned in the books of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties seem to be many of the delicacies on the tables of princes and nobles. ”

"Huh?"

Yu Feibai was surprised: "How can this be? ”

"Because in that period, the gods revered by the ancients were Haotian God, not dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns. The saying that the emperor is the true son of heaven is an authority that has been established after generations of perfection. Therefore, both dragons and phoenixes are just delicious foods on the table of the ancients. ”

Wang Guan smiled and slowly explained: "Everyone should know that the ancients in the Qin and Han dynasties definitely did not have a high understanding of creatures in nature, and the area of activity was not large, so they often gave some animals that they had never seen before given very auspicious names. For example, many scholars have now found out that the so-called pig podsaurus is actually the Yangtze crocodile......"

"I get it too!"

At the same time, Yu Feibai also screamed, and said with annoyance: "Why did you forget this stubble, in the era when the golden chicken can be called a phoenix, it is estimated that the phoenix's beak is the sharp beak of the chicken." As for the unicorn horn, it must be the apical horn of some rare animal. ”

"It could be rhino horns, maybe it could be antlers." At this time, Lei Yunzhang also suddenly realized and said with a smile: "I remember that in ancient times, some people called rhinoceros and sika deer unicorns. ”

"That's it."

Qin Yue also chuckled: "Later, as the ancients continued to improve their understanding of the world, they found that many so-called psychic beasts were just very ordinary animals, so there were fewer and fewer records of rare and exotic beasts in the history books. So much so that some officials couldn't fool the people in order to curry favor with the emperor's 'auspiciousness', and were unceremoniously exposed, leaving a laughing stock. ”

"Xiaoqin, why didn't you say it earlier."

Lei Yunzhang smiled and sighed: "Then the so-called Luan Jiao is actually a kind of biological glue similar to Ejiao, except that Ejiao is a blood tonic, while Luan Jiao is a super glue for pasting things." ”

"That's right." Qin Yue nodded and said: "The production process of this kind of luan glue has been passed down since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Everyone knows the heirloom jade seal and the clan's bi, the place where a corner was broken, it is said that it is inlaid with gold, but I suspect that it is actually pasted with luan glue, so it will be so firm. ”

"Oh......"

Regarding Qin Yue's suspicions, everyone did not express their opinions, anyway, the jade seal of the country has been missing for many years, and there is no way to verify this matter. However, the possibility of the existence of Luan glue has been greatly improved.

At least, the three people present were persuaded by Qin Yue and felt that there was really Luan Jiao in history. It's a pity that this process of making luan glue may have been lost long ago.

"The production process of Luan glue is definitely lost, but I checked a lot of information and found that the real thing of this Luan glue is condensed into lumps when not in use, and it needs to be used, and it becomes viscous when grilled over fire. Therefore, the lumpy luan glue should be able to be retained for a long time. ”

Qin Yue sighed and said: "I think that now that Luan Jiao has been handed down, it may be regarded as a rare antique, but it's a pity that even a well-informed person like Uncle Lei has not seen it." ”

"Xiaoqin, as soon as I opened the store, I mixed in several southwestern provinces, and I can't be called well-informed. I'll keep an eye out for you, though. Then mobilize the friends in the circle and help you inquire, there is a lot of power in the crowd, maybe you will find something. ”

While speaking, Lei Yunzhang said curiously: "It's just, for no reason, why do you suddenly want to find this Luan Jiao?" ”

"yes, what do you want Luan Jiao to do?"

At this time, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai reacted, and they were also very puzzled. You know, no matter how magical Luan glue is, it's just a kind of super glue. The performance of today's chemical adhesive may not be worse than that of Luan glue, so why bother to go far.

Qin Yue frowned slightly, and stroked her long black hair lightly with her fingers, as if she was hesitating to say it.

In other words, beauty is a scarce resource, and no matter how loud the slogan of equality between men and women is, there will be some preferential treatment. If it was someone else who was here to spit out, he would have been urged by someone earlier, or simply ignored it.

But now, everyone is very patient and waits slowly.

In fact, they didn't have to wait long, it was more than ten seconds, and Qin Yue suddenly smiled and said, "I said, you must not laugh at me." ”

"How could I laugh at you."

Not surprisingly, everyone shook their heads in unison.

Seeing this, Qin Yue spoke: "Then you should know that I am a qin maker, so I pay great attention to the production process of the guqin. The production of a guqin needs to go through many complicated procedures, and I won't say much about the process. Among them, the most important is the winding sound. It can be said that the quality of the strings, to a certain extent, determines the quality of the whole instrument. ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded and said with a smile: "We understand this, we often see on TV, someone plays the piano, and suddenly there is a bang, and the strings are broken, which fully shows that the quality of the piano is very poor." ”

"You noticed it too?"

At this time, Qin Yue felt a little like finding a soulmate, and said with interest: "Even the strings will cut their hands and bleed, right?" ”

"That's right." Wang Guan said with a smile: "At that time, I had doubts about what kind of material this string is made of, it is actually sharper than a knife." ”

"Nylon thread wrapped around the wire."

Qin Yue explained, sighed: "This kind of steel string, that is the process imported from the West, is the steel string of people's violin, but now it has become the string of the guqin. ”

"Does it make a difference?" Yu Feibai said blankly: "So what strings did you use in the previous piano?" ”

"In the past, the piano used silk strings."

Qin Yue said solemnly: "Our guqin used to be made of pure silk strings, and successively went through the processes of turning silk, winding silk, beating wire, fumigating thread, gluing, pulling thread, etc., before forming a silk string. ”

"Glue!"

Wang Guan noticed a key word.

"Twist more than a dozen, or even hundreds of fine silk, into strings in an anticlockwise direction, twist tightly and evenly, bundle them into a silk string, reach the level of dense beads as mentioned in the guqin book, and then ignite the sulfur and smoke it, glue it up, and then go through the process of steaming and bleaching, and the strings made are translucent like ice cubes, which is the so-called ice string ......"

Qin Yue frowned and said: "The process of the process, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to implement, I have tried to make it, and I found that the silk strings obtained are either shrunk into hemp balls, or they are too dry, and they will break when they are pulled." I studied for a long time, and I thought it might be a problem with glue, so I wanted to find the Luan glue ...... mentioned in the history books!!
