"Crystals?"

The water spirit and the crystal have the same sound, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai naturally listened to it.

However, hearing Qian Lao's explanation that this is the essence of the spirit, Wang Guan was still puzzled: "Qian Lao, the ancient water spirit seems to be the meaning of modern crystal." ”

"That's true." Qian Lao nodded and said: "After all, according to the explanation of modern vocabulary, whether it is water essence, water jade, or water jade, or water blue, jade ying, it all refers to modern crystals. ”

"Wow, that's what it's called." Yu Feibai blinked and said, "I think the name Shui Bi seems to be good." ”

"It's not just a few other names, but also names such as Li Nan, Jingyu, Bodhisattva Stone, Horse Tooth Stone, Spectacle Stone, Radiant Stone, Millennium Ice, Alpine Jelly, Fish Brain Jelly and so on." Qian Lao popularized science.

Wang Guan sighed slightly, but also said with some curiosity: "But listen to what you mean, what does the ancient water spirit seem to be different from the modern crystal?" ”

"It's still pretty much the same, but there are a few subtle differences."

Qian Lao smiled: "You also know that the ancients had a vague understanding of things. Or because of the lack of awareness, I always like to put similar things into a general category. Most of the water spirits must refer to crystals undoubtedly. But there must be a very small number of water spirits among them, which are not the same thing as crystals. ”

"That's what the material of the five-color pen is?" Yu Feibai was curious: "Did the ancients have records of this? ”

"Of course." Qian Lao said with a smile: "Wang Jian, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem about the five unique poems of water spirits. The color of the water is not different, and the degree is returned to the moonlight. Poured in the lotus leaves, sometimes look at the dew. In my opinion, this is the kind of thing that should be said. ”

"Is there one?" Yu Feibai scratched his head and said, "How do I sound it, I'm still describing crystal." ”

"That's the benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wise." Qian Lao smiled indifferently: "You think you are describing ordinary crystals, but I think this is the material of the five-color pen." It belongs to the essence of water jade that the ancients said, so it is more transparent than crystal, and it has the texture of jade. ”

"Water Jade Essence ......"

Yu Feibai pondered, nodded and smiled: "This word is good, much better than water spirit." ”

"The name is just a codename, and you don't have to worry about it."

At this time, Qian Lao chuckled: "The key is the cultural value carried by this thing, which is too heavy." The cultural accumulation of nearly 2,000 years has directly made this pen a priceless treasure. ”

"That's right." Wang Guan thought so, and did not mention the value of the thing itself. The sustenance of the literati through the ages alone is enough to make the economic value of the five-color pen burst and is incalculable.

It's like the famous heirloom seal, to put it bluntly, it's just a seal carved by a precious jade. But after more than 2,000 years of circulation, things have gradually been deified, and they have been praised on the altar and become a national treasure in the eyes of the world.

If someone really takes out the heirloom seal and sells it, then the transaction price is as high as tens of billions, and it is estimated that no one thinks it is exaggerated. Or maybe you think it's cheaper. This is truly priceless, and its value cannot be measured by money.

"Anyway, you've picked another big bargain."

At this time, Yu Feibai sighed and said, "This matter must be known to the people of Longhu Mountain." I must have regretted it so much that my intestines were blue. ”

"Mutual benefit, mutual benefit." Wang Guan smiled and said: "If it weren't for me, the five-color pen would probably still be in the dark of the big pen, and now let me dig it out." It's a great merit. ”

"Sell less." Yu Feibai pouted and said: "It's good to make a fortune in a muffled voice, and you will be punished for making a lot of noise." ”

"I must be very low-key, and I specially asked Zhang Lao not to spread it." Wang Guan smiled and said, "But these words come out of your mouth. I sound a little ironic. ”

"Get out."

Yu Feibai stared angrily, of course he could hear that Wang Guan was ridiculing himself. After all, relatively speaking, he is the most flamboyant one, once he gets some treasure, he can't wait to beat the gong and drum to make it known to the world.

"Do you know what it means to be happy and sad, and things must be reversed?"

At this moment, Yu Feibai exhaled angrily: "You have obtained two treasures, according to the iron law of not more than three, then the third thing will definitely be destroyed." ”

"What does it mean to hear this...... Qian Lao was a little surprised: "Wang Guan, you brought something else?" ”

"That's right."

Yu Feibai said bluntly: "When he was in Hanzhong, he not only harvested the fluorescent tree fingers, but also bought an ancient sword of the Han Dynasty, saying that it was the famous sword Chixiao. I don't think so, but he's sure of it. ”

"Chixiao?" Qian Lao was surprised and delighted: "Really? ”

"It's hard to say."

Now that it has been said, Wang Guan didn't care about any surprises, and directly took out the ancient sword in the duffel bag. Since the ancient sword did not have a scabbard, and because the sword rust was still there, and the time was relatively rushed, he didn't bother to customize the scabbard, just wrap the sword body with a thick cloth.

At this time, Wang Guan explained while unwinding the wrapped thick cloth: "I think this is Chixiao, but the rust marks on the sword body are too thick, Feibai feels that this is completely different from the Chixiao he imagined, so he resolutely refuses to admit it." ”

"Of course." Yu Fei Bai Zhenzhen said: "Look at it, whether it is the Great Xia Dragon Provincial Knife, or the Dragon Scale Dagger, and the Gongbu Sword, the quality is not bad, where are there any rust marks." The reason why the famous sword is a famous sword is because of its superior quality, and thousand-year immortality is the basic ability......"

Yu Feibai's words are not strong words, on the contrary, there is some truth. After all, the famous swords and swords in ancient times are definitely not boasted, but can withstand the test, and will leave a great reputation. That is, the quality is definitely guaranteed. From this point of view, the ancient sword, which is full of rust marks, is indeed very different from the legendary Chixiao.

"The thickness of the rust mark is not the basis for authenticity."

However, Qian Lao shook his head and said: "Don't deify the famous sword, no matter how good the quality weapon is, if it is not properly preserved and placed in a harsh environment, then it is not surprising that it is seriously decayed." ”

"This is also ......" Yu Feibai nodded, but also frowned: "But this sword, the rust marks are too serious...... You see, as soon as you take it out, it rusts off. ”

The adjective "Boom" is definitely an exaggeration. However, when Wang Guan put the ancient sword on the table, the sword did have some red and yellow rust on it.

"I'll take a look first."

At the right time, Qian Lao looked at it carefully, saw the appearance of the ancient sword clearly, and also somewhat understood Yu Feibai's mood. After all, in the historical materials, the description of the Chixiao Sword is very exquisite.

"Embroidered with patterns, decorated with colorful beads, the cold light of Jiuhua jade is compelling, the blade is like frost and snow, and the light shoots people."

"Liu Bang reigned for 12 years, and for the 34th year of the first emperor, he got a sword in Nanshan, inscribed 'Chixiao', so as to cut the white snake and lift the three-foot sword to make immortal achievements......"

Legends and deductive documents like this, or so on, can fill the whole room. That's it, everyone's expectations for this sword, after thousands of years of accumulation, are getting bigger and bigger like a snowball. Seeing this inconspicuous ancient sword now, it is very likely to be Chixiao, and naturally there is a feeling of disillusionment.

Under such circumstances, Yu Feibai chose to escape from reality and did not admit that the sword was Chixiao, which was also a very normal situation.

As for Qian Lao, after all, he has experienced many winds and waves, and his psychological endurance is very strong. Seeing this ancient sword, he didn't feel much disappointed, but with the mentality of a bystander, he concentrated on studying it.

At first glance, Qian Lao nodded and said: "The form of the sword has a spectrum, although Chixiao is a Han sword, it should actually be classified as the style of the Qin sword." After all, before Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, he got the Chixiao Sword, so strictly speaking, Chixiao should be the Qin Sword. What we call the Han sword is actually an improvement on the basis of the Qin sword, and it was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that it was formed. ”

"If this sword is in the form of a Han sword, then I don't need to make any effort, I can completely conclude that this is not Chixiao. Now, we need to continue research. ”

While speaking, Qian Lao picked up the ancient sword lightly, probably intending to look at the sword inscription on the sword. However, looking left and right, I found that the sword inscription on the sword body had been covered by thick rust spots, and I couldn't see anything clearly.

"Old Qian, you've noticed it too." Yu Feibai hurriedly signaled: "Is this rust super thick?" ”

"Didn't I say that the thickness of the rust is not a problem." Qian Lao said casually, weighed the weight of the ancient sword with his palm slightly, and then took out a high-powered magnifying glass to observe the rust spots on the sword body inch by inch.

"Strange ......"

After looking at it for a moment, Qian Lao frowned slightly, as if he had encountered some problem.

"What's weird?"

Yu Feibai hurriedly asked: "Old Qian, did you find any clues?" ”

"Hmmm......"

Qian Lao was thoughtful and did not rush to answer, but carefully studied the rust spots. Not only did he look at it with his eyes, but he also stretched out his fingers and pinched a little rust to rub it.

"Old ...... Money"

After a while, Yu Feibai couldn't help it, and urged again: "What did you find, so I should give a reply." It is very immoral to hang people's appetite in this way. ”

"Don't worry, Qian Lao is still researching, wait a little longer......"

Although Wang Guan is relatively calm, he will inevitably have some expectations. After all, if Qian Lao found something that could confirm that this was the real Chixiao Sword, then it would also save him a lot of work.

Under Wang Guan's persuasion, Yu Feibai had no choice but to continue to endure.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Yu Feibai's patience was about to wear out, Qian Lao finally spoke, raised his head and signaled: "Wang Guan, go pour a cup of hot water." ”

“…… Oh. ”

Wang Guan was stunned, and immediately reacted, and hurriedly poured a cup of steaming boiling water back according to Qian Lao's instructions. After putting the boiling water on the table next to him, he was also a little surprised and puzzled: "Old Qian, what are you going to do?" ”

"Could it be that the sword was washed with hot boiling water?" Yu Feibai also guessed.

"Pretty much."

Qian Lao smiled, but he was not washing the sword, but gently scraping off some rust crumbs on the sword body and spilling it into the cup. The cup was filled with hot water, and rust spilled into it, and it melted away instantly...... (To be continued......)
