Tang Yi asked the boss to tie the elm box a few times with a braided rope, and walked out of Wanxuanzhai with it.

Outside the Shanzhou Cultural Market is a small street, the street is not wide, two-way two lanes, and it is a weekend, so it seems to be more congested. Horns blared, and one car after another lined up as if moving slowly. Tang Yi was carrying the elm box, seeing that the vehicle was moving so slowly, he planned to cross the road directly, so he quickened his pace and walked behind a medium-sized truck.

"Oops!" He had just walked past the back of the van when he suddenly screamed. Because, from the gap between the two rows of traffic, an electric car suddenly passed through, and it was in front of Tang Yi in the blink of an eye!

Don't underestimate this electric car, no license or license, no problem with a speed of forty or fifty kilometers per hour, the most important thing is that the target is small and not easy to dodge.

Fortunately, Tang Yi was originally passing through the traffic, so he was careful and immediately shrank his body back, but the end of the elm box he was carrying hit the corner of the back of the truck. The electric car drove over, Tang Yi involuntarily lifted his hand up, and he couldn't hold it, and the elm box flew out.

"I don't have long eyes!" The rider of the electric car was a young man, not only did he not apologize when he hit someone, but turned his head and cursed, and the car did not slow down, and ran away.

Tang Yi didn't have time to take care of this electric bike, so he hurriedly went to see the elm box. The elm box flew up and flew impartially towards the rear body of the truck. There were several white plastic buckets in the rear body, and the boxes flew up and hit the lid of one of the buckets as they landed.

I don't know if the lid of the barrel is not tight or it is too bad, but I actually knocked the lid open, and with a bang, the elm box fell into the barrel.

Tang Yi clearly saw that liquid was splashed in the barrel.

"Nima, so coincidental?" Tang Yi muttered. Fortunately, the road was congested, and the truck stopped in the middle of the traffic. Tang Yi stepped forward quickly and knocked on the driver's window.

"Master, I have something falling into the back of your car!" Tang Yi saw the driver roll down the window and immediately said.

"Just go up and get it!" The driver was a burly man, his chin was full of stubble, he raised his hand indifferently, and motioned for Tang Yi to climb up and get it directly.

"I fell into the plastic bucket in your car, and I saw that it looked like it was filled with liquid. Would you like to check it out too? Tang Yi was very careful, thinking that it was better to explain it, in case it was something to drink like wine, don't let people say what is not, after all, this matter has nothing to do with the truck driver.

"Huh? Plastic buckets have lids, how can they fall in? What are you? Sure enough, the truck driver seemed a little worried.

"It's a long wooden box, smashed the lid of a bucket open・・・・・・" Before Tang Yi finished speaking, the signal in front of him had turned into a green light, and the vehicle at the head had already started, and the truck driver saw this and immediately shouted to Tang Yi, "You get in the car first, it's okay, you can't lose anything!" ”

Seeing this, Tang Yi couldn't help but think about it, and immediately ran to the other side of the car, pulled the car door, got into the car, and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as he sat down, the car in front of the truck started, and the truck driver immediately followed.

"I didn't have time to say it just now, the plastic bucket is ammonia, if you fall into the bucket, you can't just take it!" The truck driver was kind, and said, "Anyway, it's a wooden box, it's okay in the ammonia, I'm going to deliver it, it is estimated that it will take more than ten minutes to arrive, and I will help you borrow a pair of rubber gloves after you get to the place, you can take it again." ”

Tang Yi thought about it, this seemed to be the most feasible way, so he nodded in agreement.

The truck pulled up to a stop in front of a laundry. Tang Yi thought to himself, no wonder he could borrow rubber gloves, it turned out to be a laundry. Ammonia removes stains and is a requirement for laundries.

"Not good!" As soon as he thought of this, Tang Yi suddenly realized that ammonia is a corrosive liquid, and the bronze sword in the wooden box has been soaked in it for so long, will it be corroded?

Tang Yi almost jumped out of the car, and then climbed into the car three times and two times, "Master, please hurry up and help me get a pair of rubber gloves from the store!" ”

"The young man is in a hurry, you wait." The truck driver often came to deliver goods, and he was very familiar with the boss, so he immediately walked to the store, and after a while, he took out a pair of yellow rubber gloves and handed them to Tang Yi.

Tang Yi took out the wooden box from the plastic bucket and found that the wooden box had already been soaked to the ground, and after lifting it up, ammonia water flowed out of it, obviously the inside of the wooden box had been filled with water.

The pungent smell was permeating, Tang Yi held his breath and got out of the car, put the wooden box at the door of the laundry, and didn't care about it so much, and then took out the bronze sword and put it on the ground. And the truck driver immediately got into the car and put the lid on the plastic bucket.

The good thing is that at the door of the laundry, the truck driver was very enthusiastic and helped to pick up a water pipe from the inside, and rinse it with the wooden box and bronze sword.

The pungent smell gradually dissipates and eventually it is no longer smellable. The wooden box looked clean after being washed, and the bronze sword ・・・・・・

"it!" Tang Yi looked at the bronze sword that had been rinsed, and couldn't help but scream, the patina had all peeled off, and he couldn't imagine that ammonia water had the effect of removing patina!

The green patina was removed, but the entire sword was not damaged, but revealed a black and bright bronze background, and a kind of cold air lingered on the sword body. Moreover, after removing the rust, the shape of the ancient sword seemed to have undergone subtle changes, and under the shroud of phosgene, the huge sword body did not look half clumsy.

Tang Yi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the entire sword. It doesn't matter if you wipe it, the bronze piece that originally covered the side sword body on the sword grid was wiped off all at once! I don't know how to attach this bronze piece to it, and after a layer of rust is born, the rust is flush with the edge of the copper sheet, which is more firm, but I didn't expect it to fall off so easily after being soaked in ammonia.

After it fell, the place that was originally covered by the bronze sheet actually flashed with a trace of golden light!

Tang Yi was startled, his grip was unstable, and the blade of the bronze heavy sword swung diagonally downward.

"Click!"

The swarthy, seemingly bladeless blade of the sword sliced right into the elm box, which was cut into two pieces like tofu!

The elasticity of elm is very good, it is generally quite laborious to cut it with a firewood knife, and this elm is equivalent to soaking in water, it should be more tough, I didn't expect it to be easily cut without force, and the fracture is smooth and flat, as if polished!

"This treasure light is really not given for nothing!" Tang Yi exclaimed in his heart. However, his attention quickly returned to the place where it had been covered with bronze sheets, and the reason why there was a hint of gold light here was because there were two false gold inscriptions on it!

Whether it is a bronze sword or a bronze artifact, the importance of inscriptions is self-evident. The same thing, the more inscriptions, the greater the value. The inscriptions are distinguished by the wrong gold, the wrong silver, the casting and engraving, etc.; Wrong gold is undoubtedly the most valuable.

The so-called wrong gold, is the use of pure gold wire to inlay the inscription into the bronze, this technology, in the Spring and Autumn Period, has reached a very high level, until today can not help but make people amazed, have to admire the means of the ancients.

The two wrong gold inscriptions on the sword body have no traces of inlay, as if they are self-contained and shining. On the other hand, a large number of imitations are generally engraved on the surface first, then coated with gold clay, cooled and then trimmed, after all, it is dull.

The inscriptions on many bronzes are all in gold script, and the title gold script is probably derived because it appears on metal objects. After all, Tang Yi was a college student majoring in history, and after a little identification, he came to the conclusion that the two-character wrong gold inscription on this bronze heavy sword should be a kind of ancient seal, which seems to have some similarity with Jin Wen, but it is not Jin Wen after all.
