Chapter 364: Hundred Dragon Scales
"Fish intestines!"
At this time, Yu Feibai was very excited: "It's the legendary fish intestine, the dagger that specializes in stabbing bureaucrats!" ”
"Feibai, don't talk nonsense, this doesn't look like a fish intestine.\\" Wang Guan shook his head and frowned: "It may be a more famous dagger, but it shouldn't be a fish intestine." ”
"How not." Yu Fei Bai Zhenzhen said: "You can see clearly, the dagger texture is like fish scales, the luster is restrained and dark, and it is very sharp, it is simply a murderous weapon for assassins." To sum up, what is not fish intestines? ”
"Feibai, you can't be so arbitrary."
At the same time, Zhang Lao waved his hand and said, "Isn't it, at least let's take a look before we can make a judgment." ”
"That's right......"
Several old men nodded one after another and looked at Wang Guan together. Looking at the dagger in his hand, to be precise.
"Seniors, please watch slowly." Seeing this, Wang Guan put the dagger on the table very interestingly, and then took a few steps back to make way for his position.
Zhang Lao and the others were not polite, and immediately gathered around to take a look, only to see that the dagger was dark in color, although it was under the reflection of strong light, it did not reflect much light, which can be described as luster and restrained.
Come to think of it, even in broad daylight, when the incandescent lamp is on, the dagger only has a faint glossy reflection. If it is in the dark of night, or in a poorly lit place, this dagger may have an invisible effect.
That's why Yu Feibai said that this was a special weapon for assassins. Of course, the condition of the dagger is only one of the corrobories. This alone does not make it certain that this is a fish intestine sword.
"The legendary fish intestine sword. The reason why it is called fish intestine is that there are two theories. ”
When looking at the dagger, Zhang Lao said: "First, because it is small and exquisite, it can hide in the belly of the fish, and the sword body is slender and flexible, which can be inserted along the mouth of the fish and twist and turn in the stomach and intestines of the fish. When extracted, it returns to its original shape, and the steel is extremely tough. Another theory is that the pattern on the sword body is like a fish intestine. Hence the name. ”
"Of course, the so-called texture of fish intestines does not refer to raw fish intestines. Instead, a fish should be grilled, peeled off the two sides, and then look at the shape of the fish intestines, which are tortuous and tactful, uneven, which is the texture of the sword. ”
Tian Lao added next to him: "According to historical records, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a sword master Xue Zhu in the Qin State, who once carefully appreciated the fish intestines, and evaluated the fish intestine sword as unreasonable. If you can't obey it, you will kill the king, and the son will kill the father. ”
"The perverse here should refer to the texture on the blade, that is. The texture of the blade should be messy, or simply grow in reverse......"
While speaking, Zhang Lao picked up the dagger, brushed it over the texture, shook his head and said, "But the texture of this thing has no twists and turns at all." The situation is not going well, but it is very orderly. The fish scales are in the shape of each piece, and it is very beautiful. ”
"It's certain that it's not fish intestines."
Qin Lao nodded in agreement, and then said with a smile: "However, this dagger has nothing to say, it must be a good thing." ”
"Tuk!"
Suddenly, Zhang Lao picked up his knife and fell, and actually waved his hand down, cutting off a corner of the wooden table next to him as if he were cutting tofu.
"What a sharp dagger."
At this time, even Zhang Lao himself was very surprised: "I just took it lightly, thinking that it would be good to be able to score three points." Unexpectedly, the corner of the table was cut off all at once. ”
"What a great guy." Tian Lao exclaimed: "This thing must be a supreme killing weapon in ancient times. If you stab it past, it must be through the armor and chest, and it is impossible to prevent it. ”
"A divine weapon, even if it's not a fish intestine, it's not much worse."
Several old men were amazed, and they all reached out to Zhang Lao to ask for a dagger to watch, and then one of them cut it, and it didn't take long to cut the table next to him into blocks.
After turning around, the dagger returned to Zhang Lao's hand, and he continued to look at it, and muttered: "I don't know much about weapons, can you tell what age this is?" ”
"It's really hard to say." Qin Lao frowned and said: "There is no inscription, just by looking at the shape, it is difficult to determine the specific age." ”
"The shape is very common, even an ordinary dagger, or a short sword." Zhang Lao analyzed: "Therefore, we can only start from the texture characteristics of the dagger. ”
"Lao Zhang, do you suspect that this is a dagger that will leave a name in history?" Bai Lao was a little surprised.
"That's right." Zhang Lao nodded and said: "Although I don't know much about cold weapons, I also know that similar to this patterned steel weapon was very rare in ancient times, and it was not something that could be cast casually. As long as it is cast, it will definitely be hyped up, and everyone in the world knows it. ”
"Makes sense."
Tian Lao nodded and said: "Let's not talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, every magic weapon is definitely priceless, even if it is exchanged for a real city, the princes may not be willing to transfer it." The emperors and generals of the following dynasties were similar, strictly controlling the use of civilian weapons on the one hand, and on the other hand, they vigorously pursued divine weapons. As long as there are swords and swords in the world, they will definitely be ......"
"If you look at the ancient poems and songs, it is clear that not only the literati are praising the sword and the sword, but even the emperor has come to join in the fun and has written a lot of chapters praising the sword." Qin Lao gave an example: "For example, Cao Pi's Lu Mo sword inscription, and Cao Zhi's treasure knife ......."
"Lao Qin, you shouldn't mention Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for no reason." At this moment, Zhang Lao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Did you think of something?" ”
"It's a little bit of an idea." Qin Lao smiled and said, "Look, what does the texture on the dagger look like?" ”
"Fish scales." Zhang Lao said: "In fact, the forging process of patterned steel is very complex, and the texture of the casting is also different according to different process techniques. There are not only fish scales, but also turtles, mountains, and flowing waves...... and so on. ”
"I'll just ask you what you look like, don't ramble a lot." Qin Lao scolded with a smile: "Of course I know the complexity of the texture, but you are a little negligent. Although there are not many ancient patterned steel swords, they are not few, so the textures must be more diverse. However, there shouldn't be many dagger-shaped weapons. ”
"Hundred daggers."
In an instant, Zhang Lao blurted out and said happily: "Lao Qin, you still reacted fast enough, if you didn't remind me, I forgot about it." ”
Wang Guan, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but ask, "What Baibi dagger?" ”
"There are very few famous daggers in ancient times." Zhang Laoxing rushed and said: "The most famous must be the fish intestine, followed by Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin, the dagger of Mrs. Xu that Tu Poor Dagger saw, and then the Baipi Dagger." ”
According to the classics, Prince Pi of Wei made three daggers, one of which is like ice, and his name is Qinggang; The second Yao is like the rising sun, the name is Yangwen, and the third shape is like a dragon pattern, and the name is called dragon scales. ”
While speaking, Zhang Lao gestured with the dagger in his hand and said with a smile: "In ancient times, fish scales were also called dragon scales, so they were named this one. In other words, this dagger is likely to be a hundred dagger dragon scales cast by Cao Pi. ”
"Of course, it's just speculation."
Qin Lao said with a smile: "If you want to know the final result, it's best to do a thermoluminescence to detect the specific age." If it can be determined that this dagger is 1,800 years old, then it can be confirmed that it is a dragon scale dagger. ”
"I just arrived in the capital and went to do the test with the guqin." Yu Feibai said with a smile, like after Zhang Lao begged for a dagger, he played a few knife flowers, and continued to cut blocks to play.
"How did you get it?" Zhang Lao said with interest.
"Feibai found it." Wang Guan did not hesitate to shirk his responsibility and said: "When he was playing with the long knife, he knocked off a section of the knife, and then I found an abnormality and checked the remaining half of the knife, only to find that this was a dagger hidden in the knife." ”
"Haha, that's right, it's my credit." Yu Feibai is in a good mood now, very excited, but he ignored some small details, and while playing with a dagger, Shi Enso reported: "Wang Guan, if it weren't for me, I'm afraid this treasure would be covered with dust." So, you're going to have to borrow me for a few months. ”
"Got it."
Wang Guan said indifferently: "Just remember to return me when you're tired of playing." ”
"How can you get tired...... Forget it, don't mention it, know that you definitely won't sell. ”
Yu Feibai muttered, then walked over, looked at the other weapons in Wang Guan's suitcase, and looked eager to try. You don't have to open your mouth to know what he's thinking.
"Feibai, don't be blind." Wang Guan was a little crying and laughing: "You think that the ancient magic weapon is a modern cabbage, it's good to stumble upon a handful, how can there be a ......?"
"Not necessarily."
Yu Feibai shook his head and shook his head, if someone else's words, he would definitely not be so lucky, but Wang Guan would be difficult to say. Now he is numb to the cases of Wang Guan repeatedly picking up treasures, and he only thinks about when it will be his turn to pick them up. It was half a time just now, but unfortunately the thing was not his, which made Yu Feibai feel a faint sadness.
"If you don't believe me, you check it slowly."
At this time, Wang Guan shrugged his shoulders and said, "But it's messed up, and you have to be responsible for cleaning it up." ”
"Forget it." Yu Feibai really gave up, and then said with a smile: "Anyway, after you go home, you will definitely have to put it out again, and I will study it slowly then." ”
"Cut!" Wang Guan expressed his contempt: "Lazy! ”
At the same time, Zhang Lao lightly lowered his hand, took out the Zhongzheng sword he gave to Wang Guan, and then compared it with the dagger in Yu Feibai's hand, and immediately said with emotion: "The shape is almost the same, but the quality is like a world of difference." ”
"Lao Zhang, don't be emotional."
Tian Lao next to him said with a smile: "This is the trend of history, and it can be regarded as a general trend. The ancient casting process was only in the hands of a few people, and it was normal for a fault to occur once there was any natural or man-made disaster. What we need to do now is to rediscover these lost crafts and protect them, which can be regarded as worthy of our ancestors. ”
"It's also ......"
Zhang Lao smiled calmly, thinking deeply. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
