After Zhang Yilong and Gu Changqing talked about it, Gu Changqing went out to call someone, and the person he wanted to call was naturally an expert in identifying the best bronze sword for Zhang Yilong.

In fact, Zhang Yilong had no doubts about that sword, and at the beginning he thought that it was a genuine bronze sword, and it was a peerless treasure, but there was one place he couldn't figure out, that is, the two groups of bird seal inscriptions on the sword, the text was too peculiar, if it wasn't for a master who specialized in bronze inscriptions, he really couldn't recognize the true face of Lushan with those special symbols.

Not long after, under Gu Changqing's warm invitation, an old man walked in, the old man was at least seventy years old, his face was full of wrinkles, and he looked quite old, but his spirit was not bad, and his eyes were bright, indicating that he had good eyesight and had always had extraordinary eyesight.

"Brother Zhang, let me introduce you first, this is Zhuo Lao, everyone who studies cultural relics!" Gu Changqing introduced with a smile, "Elder Zhuo, that is Brother Zhang. ”

"Hello Zhuo Lao. Nice to meet you. Zhang Yilong hurriedly stepped forward and greeted politely.

"Hello." Zhuo Lao nodded with a smile and said, "Master Gu has already told me about your situation just now. I heard that you have a good bronze sword in your hand, can you take it out and show me first? ”

"Of course!" Zhang Yilong nodded without hesitation and said, "But the thing is not mine, it is just a friend's of mine, and she is temporarily deposited in my hands." ”

"Oh, I see?" Zhuo Lao nodded lightly, his eyes thoughtful.

Zhang Yilong then opened the exquisite box again, and carefully took out the bronze sword.

When the sword sheath came into view, at that moment, Zhuo Lao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "There is still a complete scabbard?!" The painting on the scabbard is even more rare! Brother Zhang, this is a good sword! ”

"Oh, really?" Zhang Yilong said with a smile, "I also asked Zhuo Lao to help me palm my eyes." ”

Zhuo Lao said in a very affirmative tone: "This sword is very open when you look at the scabbard, it is very beautiful!" It's not often that I see a painted bronze scabbard! A bronze sword either comes with a normal scabbard or doesn't! This bronze sword of yours looks very special! ”

Zhang Yilong said with a smile: "You are an expert in cultural relics research, you must be able to see it." Zhuo Lao, what we don't understand now are these two strange lines of words left on the sword. You come and take a look at it and see what it means. ”

As he spoke, he gently drew his sword out of its sheath, and then placed the bronze sword on the table for Zhuo Lao to take a closer look.

"Ah, it's rare, it's really rare!" When he saw the situation of the entire sword clearly, Zhuo Lao's face changed even more, and he said in admiration, "Brother Zhang, this bronze sword is intact, and there is a relatively clear inscription on it, it is really amazing!" The bronze sword unearthed in Dafan is generally rusty, and it is not easy to clean up, and after the patina is cleaned up, it will lose the original breath of the bronze, which makes people in a dilemma, and this sword body actually has no rust, just a layer of slippery and gratifying pulp, which is natural and very natural! ”

At this moment, Zhuo Lao was very excited and excited, as if he had seen some big baby, he couldn't hold back the joy.

"Zhuo Lao, oh, these are the words." Zhang Yilong suddenly pointed to the two sets of strange words on the sword.

Although he did not have the slightest study of the bird seal inscriptions of the Qin Dynasty and other periods, he thought that those two groups of characters should have their special meanings, just like the two groups of bird seal inscriptions on the sword of King Goujian of Yue.

"Oh, this?" Zhuo Lao saw something at a glance, so he explained one by one, "This is the 'Bird Seal Script'." The so-called 'bird seal' is a kind of seal script, and its strokes are replaced by bird shapes, which not only has a unique decorative style, but also has a profound symbolic meaning. The book with flying birds expresses a way of being admired by the ancient Chinese, the letter of migratory birds guarding winter to spring, and 'faith' is the meaning of the bird seal. The bird not only represents the trustworthy personality, but also a symbol of the rapid transmission of information, since ancient times there is a "wild goose biography" said, the word and the bird fly with the bird can of course bring the information to distant places faster. There are two interpretations of the bird seal, one is the ancient script of the seal, which is shaped like the claw of the bird, so it is called; The second is the claw marks of a bird shaped like a seal script. The bird seal on this sword naturally refers to the former, which is a kind of writing, but it is too obscure, and there are deep hidden symbols, which are difficult to see without careful study.

"You must have also heard of the 'Yue Wang Goujian Sword', there are two pairs of inscriptions on the Yue Wang Sword, which are also bird-shaped patterns, and were later deciphered by the university scholars Guo, Mo, and Ruo, saying that it is 'Yue Wang Goujian, making a sword', so it is concluded that it is the sword worn by Yue Wang Goujian!"

"Well, I know that." Zhang Yilong nodded and said, "Elder Zhuo, are the two sets of words on this easy to crack?" ”

Zhuo Lao replied solemnly: "It should be able to break!" It's just that I can't give a definite answer yet, after all, the bird seal is not an ordinary ancient text, and it needs to be combined with many things to decipher. ”

"Well, there's no rush either." Zhang Yilong smiled slightly, "Take your time, I hope I can get an answer in the future." ”

Zhuo Lao couldn't recognize the two sets of bird seals at a glance, which was expected by Zhang Yilong, and the other party was not a fairy, how could he decipher the two groups of bird seals with infinite mysteries at once.

Zhuo Lao nodded and said, "I'll memorize these characters first, and I'll think about it after I go back, and if there is any situation, I will inform you as soon as possible." ”

"Well, okay, then there's work." Zhang Yilong said politely.

Then Zhuo Lao wrote down those strange words with a pen, and asked Zhang Yilong for a phone number, so that he could contact him in the future.

After a while, Zhuo Lao said goodbye and left the room, and after seeing Zhuo Lao away, Gu Changqing walked back to the room and said: "Brother Zhang, Zhuo Lao is a very experienced cultural relics appraiser, he is especially good at the study of bronzes, I believe that soon he will be able to decipher the two sets of bird seals, and then he will be able to know the origin of your bronze sword!" Either way, it's an extremely rare sword, and its value is immeasurable! ”

Zhang Yilong smiled indifferently: "Hehe, I hope so." Don't rush, take your time. Master Gu, it's not too early now, we have to go back, let's meet tomorrow and talk about it in detail. ”

"Well, okay, everyone really needs to rest, I must be tired after tossing and turning for so long tonight." Gu Changqing nodded hurriedly and agreed.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yilong said goodbye to Gu Changqing and Gu Qing, and took a taxi to the rented room.

In the car, Zhang Zhibin said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Brother Long, the sword that the beauty handed over to you seems to be a big treasure!" ”

"Yes, it's a good thing, it's an authentic bronze sword, it may have a lot of origins, it's not simple!" Zhang Yilong nodded in admiration.

"Then if you don't collect this sword, I'm afraid it will be difficult to receive something like this in the future!" Zhang Zhibin said, "I also like to collect ancient swords, but I never dreamed that one day I could receive such a good bronze sword from Miss Mo!" This is a man's favorite collector's favorite! ”

Zhang Yilong agreed: "Well, I think so too, but it's a pity that the sword is not mine, but only temporarily lent to me by Miss Mo, but it's good to be able to play, and ordinary people don't have the opportunity to play." ”

Zhang Zhibin then said again: "Brother Long, you just have to convert with Miss Mo!" Since she likes your pair of moonshadow lanterns so much, I'm sure she'll be happy to exchange them for you. ”

Zhang Yilong shook his head lightly and smiled: "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

In fact, he had thought about this for a long time, but it really made him very embarrassed, both of them were valuable treasures, each with its own characteristics, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

As for Mo Wanting's side, this is not a problem at all, the other party proposed to exchange the sword for the moon shadow lantern at the beginning, and there is compensation, and the favorable conditions offered are extremely attractive.

"Then let's think about it again." Zhang Zhibin responded.

When he was about to rent a house, Zhang Yilong suddenly received a text message, and he took out his mobile phone to check the information, only to see that it was written: "Zhang Yilong, have you rested?" ”

A very short text message, when he saw the letter number clearly, Zhang Yilong couldn't help but be slightly surprised, but he didn't expect that it was Miaomiao's mother Xu Ruolan who sent him a text message at this time.

"What's wrong with her? Insomnia? Zhang Yilong thought secretly, and he didn't know why, but when he found that the text message that was a little misty was sent by Xu Ruolan, the best single mother, he couldn't help but feel excited at that moment.

The other party sent him a text message, indicating that the other party cared more about him, otherwise he would not have sent a text message in the middle of the night.

Although he didn't have any clear meaning for Xu Ruolan, he naturally had a good impression, the other party was so beautiful, so gentle, and so generous to give him a valuable Qianlong imperial brushstroke, if he didn't care about him, how could he be so intimate.

Zhang Yilong immediately replied to a text message and said, "I haven't slept yet." Hehe, just came back from outside. You okay? ”

"Well, that's good." Xu Ruolan replied, "Are you free tomorrow, can you come over for a while, I have something to look for you." ”

"Okay." Zhang Yilong readily agreed, "But I won't be free tomorrow morning, so let's go over at noon or afternoon." ”

How did he know what Xu Ruolan was looking for him, but when it came to it, he also wanted to meet their mother and daughter, he always felt that the other mother and daughter were quite pitiful and needed to be cared for.
