Chapter 6 The edge of the sword is sharpened

Mr. Yizhi retired from the Forbidden City, and the government arranged a sanatorium for him in SH, which is very good in terms of environment and medical treatment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The security of the sanatorium was very strict, and the doorman called to confirm Qin Nianxin's identity before letting him go.

Qin Nianxin and the nanny of the old gentleman's family knew each other, and the interview of the antique series lasted for a month, and the nanny still had an impression of Qin Nianxin.

"The old gentleman is still taking a nap, you have to wait a while." The nanny admonished.

There are still several people waiting in the living room, and it is estimated that they are also looking for the old gentleman to appraise the treasure. Mr. Zhu Yizhi's reputation is outside, and he looks at his conduct rather than his identity and background, and many wild people will come to him.

"Little brother, are you looking for Mr. Yizhi?" A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard sat down familiarly, "What's good, feed me a long insight." ”

Although the other two groups of people sat indifferently, their eyes couldn't stop looking at Qin Nianxin and Shen Yi.

Shen Yi didn't mean to hide it, he opened the wrapped one, and a trace of cold light flashed.

Surprise flashed in the bearded man's eyes, and another wave of people were stunned.

Shen Yi noticed that the wave of people brought a cuboid wooden box, which looked like it might also be a sword.

"This sword ......," the bearded man muttered for a moment, "little brother, I don't know if I can take a look." ”

"Feel free to do it."

The bearded man took out a pair of rubber gloves from his pocket, and he looked very professional. Mainly the temperature of the human body, sweat, oil, etc. will cause a certain erosion of these antiques, especially calligraphy and paintings and metal utensils, and the damage caused is irreversible.

"Swords are mainly made of steel and iron, which are easy to oxidize, and most of the swords that survive now are mainly from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Swords in the Ming Dynasty are very rare. ”

A middle-aged man wearing glasses said with some disdain: "Judging from the blade and body of this sword, it will definitely not be more than ten years." ”

"If the age is a little farther away, there will definitely be traces of oxidation on the sword, and there will even be slight rust." The man with glasses said as he opened the wooden box in front of him.

In a rectangular wooden box, a large knife lay in it. Unlike the bare sword that Shen Yi took out, the knife had a very ornate scabbard.

"The scabbard is wrapped in shark skin, and there are agate and gemstone inlays on it." The man with glasses said and pulled out the knife, "No matter how you store it, the tip of the knife will be eroded by oxygen and water vapor. ”

The inside of the glasses man's hand has a dark gray tone, and there is a hazy feeling through the smoke. The sword that Shen Yi took out was too bright, without the slightest taste of history.

The bearded man took off his gloves, and his words were a little uncertain: "Little brother, do you know the tip of the ancient knife?" ”

Shen Yi shook his head.

The bearded man sighed in his heart, and he was a young man who paid for tuition.

"In the 08 years of the Hong Kong auction, there was a Qianlong imperial gold peach skin Proton waist knife in the Qing Dynasty, which was auctioned at a sky-high price of 48.8 million yuan. It was at that time that the ancient sword became hot. There are too many doorways here, some people like modern officers' swords and swords, some people like ancient broadswords and swords, and some people have a soft spot for Eastern or Western weapons. There are a few thousand yuan as little, and as many as more than 100,000 yuan. ”

"The ancient sword was not taken seriously before, there were few fakes and fakes, and collecting was a hobby for a few people. However, as the market grew, there were many imitation swords. Some fakes cannot be distinguished at all without the help of professional instruments. ”

Although the bearded man doesn't like the style of the man with glasses, he has a similar opinion about Shen Yi's ancient sword. The sword was so new, as if it had just come off the production line not long ago. Especially the few gaps on the ancient sword, it should be new scars.

Shen Yi was said to be bearded, and according to common sense, the original user of this sword could be regarded as a task with a head and face, and would never use a shoddy weapon. But it is very unreasonable to cross by himself, and Shen Yi doesn't seem to have the courage to ask the people in that world to conform to common sense.

"Is this sword expensive to get your hands on?" The bearded man asked with concern.

"No...... It's not too expensive......" Shen Yi was still a little confused.

The bearded man tidied up the rubber gloves and put them in his pocket, and said in the tone of a passerby: "The water here is deep in antiques, and the tuition must be paid." ”

"So, the price of buying must be well controlled, and I don't expect it to be simple. The leaks that you can see are often deliberately let you see by the other party, those who lack virtue do not cheat and do not cheat, they like to cheat and cook raw rice! ”

The bearded and bespectacled man was not optimistic about the sword, and the other group lost interest.

"Be honest, how much did you buy this sword?" Qin Nianxin asked in a low voice, a little worried in his tone.

Shen Yi's family was barely well-off, and they didn't hold back, but they didn't have any money to spare.

Shen Yi couldn't say that this sword didn't cost money, and it came back from another world.

"How many ...... 100 yuan, mainly because it looks good. Shen Yi scratched his head.

Qin Nianxin breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, there wasn't much money, and it didn't matter if he lost.

After sitting for a while, the nanny came over and said that Mr. Yizhi was awake. The man with glasses and another group of people couldn't wait, so they rushed to follow the nanny to Mr. Yizhi's study first, wanting to identify the antiques in their hands first.

The bearded man should be a regular customer, and with his interest in antiques, he is not in a hurry. Shen Yi and Qin Nianxin just felt that the sword was not valuable, and it didn't matter if it was early or late.

The wave of people carrying calligraphy and paintings went in early and came out quickly. With a smile on his face, he hugged the scroll tightly, and it seemed that the result was good.

The glasses man stayed in it for a long time, and when he came out, his hands were empty, and the glasses man led by him had an iron blue face.

The bearded man seemed to have expected this result for a long time, and the previous words showed the depth of the ancient sword, and the man with glasses should have paid the tuition.

"I don't have anything valuable, so I'll go in with you." Bearded people are naturally self-cooked.

The study is very open, and there are not as many bookshelves and ancient books as expected, only a shelf near the edge of the desk, and there are more gadgets on it. Mr. Yi is seventy or eighty years old, but he is quite energetic, and his white beard is very smooth, and he has a sense of being born a master.

The bearded man's name is Li Xinyong, and he is the research institute of the SH Museum, and he is a good friend of the old man. The old gentleman talked a few words with the bearded man, and then asked Qin Nianxin about his current situation.

It can be seen that Qin Nianxin's interview with the old gentleman left a deep impression on him.

"This is an ancient sword that my brother collected, and I bothered Mr. to take a look at the situation." Qin Nianxin nodded Shen Yi's identity.

Shen Yi spread out his sword on the huge desk.

In fact, after knowing the identity of the bearded man, Shen Yi already felt that there was no hope. No matter how bearded he is, he is also the research institute of the museum, a standard professional. It seems that he doesn't follow the usual path, and that bullshit world can't be inferred according to common sense.

Mr. Yizhi glanced at the blade of the sword, but focused on the hilt of the sword, holding a magnifying glass to study the hilt left and right.

The bearded man looked at the old gentleman's very serious appearance and muttered in his heart.

"Could it be that you have lost your eyes?"

After a long time, Mr. Yizhi spoke: "Xinyong, have you seen this sword before?" ”

The bearded man nodded: "It's too new." ”

"It's too new~" Mr. Yizhi said approvingly.

"Look at the hilt of the sword."

The bearded man stepped forward to take a closer look, and his expression was suddenly confused.

"The workmanship and material of this sword handle are very old, especially this carving, which is a bit like the work of the Tang Dynasty. But ......"

"It's a little strange, the hilt is old, but the blade looks very new." Mr. Yizhi touched his white beard twice.

Qin Nianxin and Shen Yi stood stupidly on the side, listening to the discussion between the two experts.

"It's possible that the hilt of the sword is an old thing, and the blade of the sword was added later." The bearded man presents a possibility.

Mr. Yizhi shook his head and dismissed this possibility: "The pattern on the sword body is the same as the hilt, and there is no trace of rework at the junction between the sword body and the hilt. ”

"The hilt of the sword can be pushed to the Tang Dynasty, it has been a thousand years, and the sword body cannot be without any rust at all!" The bearded man felt that his brain was a little messy.

Mr. Yizhi seems to have a new idea: "The sword has been stainless for thousands of years, and it is not without precedent. ”

These words aroused Shen Yi's curiosity, and he couldn't help but ask.

Mr. Yizhi did not interject with Shen Yi, but said patiently: "The Goujian sword of King Yue unearthed in Wuhan in 65 years, after more than 2,400 years, the ornamentation is still clear and exquisite, stainless for thousands of years, and it is still cold. ”

The story of King Yue Goujian's lying salary and tasting courage Shen Yi is clear, but the story of King Yue Goujian's sword is not clear.

"The main component of the Yue Wang Goujian sword is copper, and the unearthed tomb has been soaked in groundwater for a long time, and the complete isolation of oxygen from the sword is the main reason for its stainless steel." The bearded man said puzzled, "This sword doesn't look like it's in a tomb?" ”

"The body of the Goujian Sword is plated with a layer of chromium metal, which is another reason why it does not corrode." Mr. Yizhi said with a smile, "The material of this sword may not be made of copper and iron. ”

Mr. Yizhi took a stack of felt paper from the side, picked up the sword and pulled it, and dozens of pieces of paper were split in two.

The bearded man and Qin Nianxin looked surprised, such a thick paper actually opened with a single click?

Only Shen Yi looked calm, and it seemed that the protagonist's aura finally shone.

"Looks like I was right, this sword is made of alloy. This forging technique and material refining may be a pinnacle of ancient forging technology. Mr. Yizhi said with some excitement.

Modern technology is inferior to the ancients in some respects, and it is not something to be ashamed of, this is objective. For example, some porcelain vases fired in ancient times are still unable to be restored by modern technology, and the technology in the meantime can only be buried in history.
