Chu Chen hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Uncle Wu, I really didn't mean not to tell you about this, that cup was still obtained by me when I was in England with Coco, and then you were still out of town when I returned to Beijing, plus I was also busy during the previous time, so I forgot about this matter." I'll go to the vault and take out the cup in a moment, I'll be sure to let you see it enough! ”

When Uncle Wu heard this, and he wasn't really angry with Chu Chen, he no longer complained about Chu Chen, but he still muttered: "But this girl is really, she doesn't know how to call me!" ”

"I guess she forgot about it!" Chu Chen hurriedly made a round.

When Uncle Wu saw that Chu Chen was eager to defend Wu Ke, he smiled, and thought in his heart, it seems that the relationship between the two is not bad, it seems that this son-in-law can't run away.

At this time, Hu Yong said next to him: "Why don't we try to sharpen iron like clay now?" ”

Uncle Wu shook his head and said: "Then forget it, generally speaking, every time the sword is used, it will actually produce a shock, which will destroy the stable structure of the artifact, the harder the thing, the greater the shock." ”

Therefore, from the perspective of cultural relics protection, if you want to test the sharpness of the ancient sword, you can try it with paper. After all, this fish intestine sword is already a 2,500-year-old artifact, and if there is any damage caused by slashing hard objects, it will really be more than worth the loss. ”

Hearing what Uncle Wu said, the two of them nodded in unison, but when people encounter something they are interested in, they will often miss it in their hearts if they don't understand it, and Chu Chen is no exception. He saw a small piece of wood next to him, so he hurriedly walked over and got it. Then handed it to Hu Yongdao:

"Let's try this!"

Uncle Wu saw that what Chu Chen had brought over could only be regarded as a small wooden stick, so he didn't say anything.

Because of the experience just now. Hu Yong only used a little strength to test it at first, but he saw him slash at the small wooden stick, and the wooden stick turned into two pieces just like the hair just now. This result made Hu Yong numb with shock.

In this regard, Uncle Wu could only sigh: "It really deserves to be one of the top ten famous swords, and it is indeed well deserved!" ”

"yes!" Chu Chen nodded in agreement: "And I think that the pattern on this fish intestine sword should have a work that makes the wound unable to heal, plus its sharpness, so the historical records will say "the king will die". ”

Heard Chu Chen say this. Uncle Wu and Hu Yong immediately thought that with the sharpness of this fish intestine sword, coupled with the special pattern on it, once it stabbed a person's body, it was indeed a little unimaginable, and the whole person couldn't help but shudder.

Immediately, Uncle Wu said with some sternness: "Xiao Chen, you have to put this sword away, it's best to take the time to make a scabbard." ”

"Hmm!"

Chu Chen nodded. But when he thought of the scabbard, he remembered the fish skin that was wrapped, so he looked at the fish skin, at this time. Only then did he think of a very critical question, why was the surface of this fish skin not damaged at all?

If it's an ordinary sword, it's okay to say. But this is obviously a magic weapon for blowing hair and breaking hair! Could it be that with the sharpness of this fish intestine sword, it can't cut through this fish skin. The first thing Chu Chen thought of was, how is this possible?

Uncle Wu and the others followed Chu Chen's gaze and saw the fish skin. After a while, they all thought of Chu Chen's doubts and disbelief, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Hu Yong, you try to draw it with the fish intestine sword, remember to draw on the corners, and use a little lighter force for the first time." ”

"Okay!"

Hu Yong nodded, and immediately walked to the table, and with the strength of cutting the wooden stick just now, he slashed a sword at a corner, but the result made the three of them quite shocked and incredulous, there was no trace on the fish skin!

Chu Chen had already had some guesses before, so he directly asked Hu Yong to use a little more force, two points, three points until eight points of force, and the fish intestine sword drew a deep trace of the fish skin, but this is not the most shocking, and then Chu Chen went up and stroked it gently, and the trace was gone!

"How is this possible!" Seeing such a result, Uncle Wu was already dumbfounded, with the sharpness of the fish intestine sword like this, even if it was an elephant in front of him, he would definitely have cut its skin and flesh with a knife of eighty percent force, and the skin in front of him looked just like a fish skin, how could he have no reaction when he stabbed down?

"Isn't this skin a fish skin?" Hu Yong muttered in surprise.

Chu Chen thought for a while and said: "This is possible, but it may also be the skin of a fish that is now extinct, you must know that the iron sword that hides this fish intestine sword is from the Han Dynasty, and at that time, even the things in the Three Seas Classic could be encountered, and it is not impossible to catch this kind of fish with very tough skin." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Uncle Wu also felt that it was possible.

Legend has it that during the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, someone contributed a strange bird to the emperor and fed it with various foods, but it refused to eat it. When the famous literati Dongfang Shuo saw this bird, he said its name and what it should eat. After a test, it was just like what Dongfang Shuo said. The emperor asked Dongfang Shuo how he knew, and he said that there was a record in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and he would know it after reading it.

Although this is just a legend, and its authenticity needs to be verified, after all, the Three Seas Sutra was accumulated by generations of shamans in ancient times who passed on what they saw and heard by word of mouth. Although there are exaggerated elements in it, if you want to say that the strange beasts in it must not exist, it is not necessarily, but some have not yet found evidence.

Hu Yong was puzzled and said: "That's not right, if there is really such a fish, how can people catch it at that time?" How did you cut its skin so neatly? ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "The wisdom of our ancients is quite powerful, you think that the Great Wall can be built, let alone a fish?" And there is a way that iron rods can be sharpened into needles, and the difficulty of dividing fish skin is definitely not difficult for them. ”

"yes!" Uncle Wu said with emotion: "It's just that our country has always been divided and merged, and there are many requirements for ancient inheritance, so that many technologies have not been inherited, which is a pity to think about." ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen also sighed, and then said: "Okay, let's put away this sword first, and after I show it to the master tomorrow, I will prepare to let people study this sword, hoping to find out the secret of why this sword is so sharp!" ”

Although Chu Chen knew that the hope of success in research was very slim, if he didn't do research, there would be no hope at all.

Uncle Wu didn't have any opinion on this, but he immediately remembered that Chu Chen still had a good thing, so he hurriedly said, "Then let's go and see that self-warming cup!"

"Uncle Wu, can you wait a while?" Chu Chen scratched his head and said.

"What else?" Uncle Wu asked with some confusion.

"Look at this painting first."

Chu Chen smiled, took out the "Lin Ting Fun Picture" and unfolded it.

Uncle Wu thought that Chu Chen had bought another good painting, so he hurriedly went up to take a look, but the result made him quite disappointed, it was actually a Qing imitation painting.

"I said Xiaochen, isn't this just an imitation of the Qing Dynasty, what's so good-looking?" Uncle Wu said a little speechlessly.

"Take a closer look at the framed version of this painting." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Uncle Wu felt a little curious, and looked back at the framing of this work, and immediately showed a look of surprise on his face, he was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he took a closer look and found that it was really a master-level framing technique.

You know, this is the original old mounting, and it is also a master-level craft, just such an imitation, at that time, the price of framing was not expensive, and which framing master had nothing to do when he was full, as a painting is not a very good imitation painting mounting?

Of course, there are no absolutes in everything, maybe this painting was painted by a wealthy and powerful person, and a huge sum of money was paid, or the master had no choice but to help the author frame it, but this possibility is too small, and literati are generally better faced, and the probability of doing this kind of thing is really not high.

Besides, if it really had to be painted by such a powerful person, then there was little chance that he would not leave his name.

"Strange, this painting is really strange!"

Uncle Wu muttered to himself, and then he suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly twisted the drawing paper with his hand, and carefully observed the drawing paper with a magnifying glass, and then frowned and said:

"I don't think there's a painting hidden down there!"

"Yes, not really!" Chu Chen nodded.

Uncle Wu shook his head, he really couldn't see anything wrong with this painting: "Okay, Xiaochen, you don't sell Guanzi anymore, hurry up and tell me what you find!" ”

"Look at this gap." Chu Chen smiled and pointed to the painting scroll at one end and said.

"Gaps?"

Uncle Wu and Hu Yong hurriedly put their heads up, and according to Chu Chen's guidance, they finally found a small gap at the shaft head.

This gap was so small that it looked thinner than a human hair, if it weren't for Chu Chen's guidance and a magnifying glass, they really wouldn't have found it, which made both of them feel very surprised.

"Xiao Chen, how did you find this gap?" Uncle Wu said with a look of surprise on his face.

Chu Chen smiled. Then he told what he had thought about:

"At first, like you, I thought that there might be another work hidden under this painting, but when I looked closely, I didn't find anything unusual. (To be continued......)
