Seeing such a wooden box as black as carbon, Chen Ran couldn't help but stretch out two fingers and pinch it gently, and found that the material of the wooden box was very hard, but when he touched it, it gave people a very delicate feeling, quite a bit of stroking glass......
Chen Ran looked down and didn't find a pitch-black color on his fingers. The full-text and ad-free novels are all in the biquge.info00ks.com of Aishang Novel Network www.bxzw.com reading books at zero o'clock
"It's charred wood in ebony."
Wang Zhiqing saw Chen Ran's movements, but he smiled dumbly, such a special wood, he almost recognized it at a glance, "ebony" is gloomy wood.
Gloomy wood, needless to say, has been used as a devoid of evil in the past dynasties, some of the wooden swords used by Maoshan Taoist priests are made of gloomy wood, of course, not any Taoist priest can have a wooden sword made of gloomy wood, the general Taoist priest uses a peach branch wood sword, and the wooden sword made of gloomy wood is a relatively scarce one.
The gloomy wood, also known as the "Oriental Sacred Tree" and the "Plant Mummy", is a low-lying place where earthquakes, floods, and mudslides bury all the plants and creatures on the ground into the ancient riverbed. Some trees buried in the silt, under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms under the state of lack of oxygen and high pressure, form ebony through a carbonization process of thousands of years, so it is also called "carbonized wood".
Seeing that this wooden box was made of ebony, Wang Zhiqing didn't care much, because the variety of ebony is innumerable, and there are many types, so naturally there are high and low, and the ebony used in the wooden box in front of him is just average.
After the young man opened the black cloth wrapped in the wooden box, there was no need for the young man to do it, Wang Zhiqing opened the wooden box himself, and the wooden box contained a rusty ancient knife.
For ancient knives, Chen Ran did not study much, did not know much, only know that in recent years, the appreciation of swords is very fast, the speed of appreciation, in the antique line, can almost be ranked in the top five, with the increasing number of Chinese ancient weapons lovers at home and abroad, the collection of ancient Chinese swords has now become a hot spot in the current collection market.
For beginner collections, the cheapest swords cost five or six thousand yuan, the better ones cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan, and those with a collection level are as high as more than 100,000 yuan.
Of course, although Chen Ran doesn't know much about ancient knives, he can also tell what type of knife the knife is in front of him, which can basically be seen by anyone who knows a little bit, according to his observation, this knife should be a Japanese knife.
The Japanese sword was improved from the Chinese Tang sword, and after the Tang sword was spread to Japan, the Japanese nobles at that time were proud to have a Tang sword, and the Japanese samurai sword evolved from it.
The reason why Chen Ran was able to observe that this knife was a Japanese sword instead of a Tang sword was because his eyes were better, and he could clearly see the samurai figures, flowers, insects and birds carved on the scabbard at a glance, although these patterns had been blurred, but he could also tell that this was a Japanese carving style.
There is another important difference between Tang swords and Japanese swords, that is, generally speaking, the blade of Japanese katana swords has a certain arc, while Tang swords mostly take a straight shape, of course, this is just a general distinguishing technique, in fact, it is not absolute.
Antiques, although there are many types, but in fact, Wanfa Guizong is also feasible in this line, let Chen Ran tell this knife a way, he will definitely not be able to say, but this does not hinder his vision, in his eyes, although this knife is a little rusty, but whether it is the shape or carving is still very exquisite.
After Wang Zhiqing saw this knife, he took out a magnifying glass and observed the Japanese knife, and after observing it for a long time, he straightened up and handed the magnifying glass to Chen Ran.
Although Chen Ran's eyes were better than a magnifying glass now, he still took it and looked at it pretendedly.
"Xiao Ran, what do you think?" When Chen Ran returned the magnifying glass to Wang Zhiqing, Wang Zhiqing opened his mouth to ask Chen Ran's opinion.
Wang Zhiqing doesn't know much about Japanese antiques, if he does, the last Japanese ancient painting, I'm afraid it won't fall into Chen Ran's hands, but among Japanese antiques, Japanese swords are an exception, this is because due to the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese ancient swords are very common in China, and there is not much difference from Chinese antique collections, even if it is folk, it is also overwhelming.
"Brother Wang, don't ask me, I don't know anything about swords, I only know that this knife is a Japanese sword, and I don't know anything other than this."
Chen Ran's words are not modest, but also modest.
It's not modest, that's because he really doesn't understand, and it's humble, but because although he doesn't understand, it's not a difficult thing to get him to say two words of evaluation, besides, he still has an energy aperture.
A person's energy is limited in the end, and if he seems proficient in everything, it is undoubtedly a bit too sharp.
When Chen Ran answered, he released an energy aperture to probe it, but the result of the detection was that the energy aperture was adsorbed on the body of the knife, which showed that the age of this knife was at least a hundred years old.
One energy aperture was not enough, so Chen Ran naturally released a second energy aperture.
As a result, this energy circle was still adsorbed on the knife body, which surprised Chen Ran, according to the situation of the energy aperture, two energy apertures were released and no results were detected, which means that either this knife is three hundred years old, or this knife is extremely beautifully forged, no matter which case, the knife in front of him is worth a lot of money.
For a while, Chen Ran suddenly became interested, and continued to release energy apertures on the knife body......
"This knife was left to me by my grandfather, and it was a trophy of the devil he killed during the Anti-Japanese War."
Hearing Chen Ran's words, the young man, who was still a little restrained, immediately answered, and his expression was extremely proud at this moment, and from his eyes, it could be seen that he still liked this knife very much.
Wang Zhiqing, who was still observing the Japanese sword, was interested when he heard him say this, and he looked up and said with a smile: "Then your grandfather is still a revolutionary soldier......
"Of course." The young man nodded affirmatively, looked up at Wang Zhiqing and asked, "Is my knife an antique?" ”
After the young man looking at Wang Zhiqing asked this sentence, he was a little nervous.
And when this sentence was asked by the young man, Chen Ran's side finally stopped releasing the energy aperture.
Chen Ran stopped releasing the energy aperture, not because he had already detected the age of this Japanese sword, but from the time he released the first energy aperture just now, he had continuously released twenty-five energy apertures one after another.
Twenty-five energy apertures were released, but the age of the Japanese sword was still not detected.
What does twenty-five energy apertures mean?
Although from Chen Ran's point of view, the shape and carving of this knife are relatively exquisite, but in fact, it is only a relatively ordinary ancient knife, that is to say, exquisite is exquisite, but this Japanese knife is actually a knife that is a little better than an ordinary ancient knife, and such a knife, even if it has a history of 1,500 years, how many energy apertures can be used to detect the results......
This number will definitely not exceed twenty.
But now, the knife body has absorbed Chen Ran's twenty-five energy apertures.
If you look at it under normal circumstances, it is enough to say that this Japanese sword is at least 2,000 years old.
2,000 years of history......
Chen Ran was a little stunned.
How long was the history of the Tang Dynasty?
Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty in 618 AD, less than 1,500 years away from the present, the Tang knife is naturally the knife forged in the Tang Dynasty, and the Japanese sword is evolved from the Tang knife, that is to say, if you calculate it in this way, the age of this Japanese knife is older than the age of the Tang Dynasty......
This is undoubtedly simply impossible!
The Japanese sword evolved from the Tang knife, and the Tang knife was a knife that only appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but now this Japanese knife is older than the Tang Dynasty, isn't it nonsense.
So, what must have gone wrong? What's wrong?
Chen Ran frowned and pondered, but he was puzzled, he released the few remaining two energy apertures, but it was still the same result, which suddenly made him scratch his head......
