Anyway, almost all of the people present were their own people, Wu Ke was not embarrassed, and said with a grin: "This is called a wise man's thousand worries, which means that I am a smart person, okay!" ”

Chu Yulan slapped her forehead when she heard this, and made a defeated expression.

Everyone smiled one after another, and Chu Chen said: "Just like Xiaolan said, if it is really the shape of the Han sword, then it must be an imitation of the later generations." Now, there's a high chance that it looks genuine. ”

"Then I have a question." Chu Yulan raised her hand and said, "If this sword is really Chixiao, then it has been circulating for at least two thousand years, if it is in the usual environment, I don't think it is strange, but it has been stored in the well in the humid environment for so long, how can it still be like new?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "If it is preserved as usual, it is estimated that it will be difficult to preserve it so well, but you can know by looking at the hilt of the sword." ”

As he spoke, he showed the part of the hilt of the sword to everyone to admire, only to see that the part of the interface between the hilt and the scabbard was specially processed, and coupled with the wrapping of the oilcloth, it was indeed difficult for the moisture to touch the real sword body.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, everyone suddenly realized that it was like a closed environment now, and it was reasonable that it was so well preserved. Of course, if it is an ordinary sword, even if it is handled like this, it is likely that the sword body will be affected after more than a hundred years. But it is not so strange to change to Chixiao, which is one of the top ten famous swords.

At this time, Wu Ke suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, doesn't it say in "Xijing Miscellaneous" that there are seven pearls and Jiuhua jade on the Chixiao Sword, where did these two things go?" Is it already lost? ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Don't you think the size of this sword hilt is a little bigger." Does the whole look a little incongruous? Moreover, the hilt and scabbard of the sword are made of iron, but you can see that the blade is made of bronze. ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Wu Ke immediately reacted: "You mean to say that the real scabbard is actually wrapped in this layer of iron outside?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "It should be like this." It is estimated that this layer of things outside is just to give this sword better protection. In addition, it can also be hidden. ”

"Then can we remove this layer of cover now?"

Chu Yulan seemed a little eager to try, for her, if it weren't for the fact that this sword was one of the top ten famous swords, Chixiao, she wouldn't have any interest, but the colorful beads and Jiuhua jade were different. Of course. Not only her, but also Zhao Yunlin and Wu Ke, who are also women, are also very interested in the legendary jewelry.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's definitely going to be removed, but we don't know what the situation is inside now, in case it comes hard." It's not good to cause damage. Therefore, I am going to take this sword to the museum's real room, and after testing it, I will take it out in a safer way. ”

Although the women knew that what Chu Chen said was a necessary step, they still felt a little disappointed that they couldn't see Jiuhua Jade and Colorful Beads right away.

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly said, "I will definitely do my best to take out the sword completely." ”

Zhao Yunlin said with a smile: "It's okay, we just don't feel curious, you let them take their time." Being anxious can do bad things. ”

Wu Ke and Chu Yulan also said that they asked Chu Chen not to worry, it doesn't matter if they appreciate it later.

"By the way, you say that this sword is as sharp as a fish intestine sword?" Chu Yulan asked.

"I'll try."

Chu Chen pulled out a hair. Putting it on the blade, the hair did not affect at this time, and then, after he blew on the blade, one hair suddenly turned into two and fell to the ground from the blade.

"What a sword that blows off your hair!" See this. Zuo Shan's face was full of shock, although he had also seen the video of the fish intestine sword before. But where did the video come from the shock of witnessing?

"Look silly."

Chu Yulan grinned, and gently touched the sword body with her hand with some curiosity: "Huh." This sword is quite smooth to the touch, but the lines on it are decorated, why does it feel a little cut? ”

Hearing Chu Yulan say this, Chu Chen put the sword in front of his eyes and observed it carefully, after a while, he suddenly thought of something, put the sword in front of his nose and smelled it, his face immediately changed, and said, "Brother Zuo, you go and get a bigger basin and fill a basin of water." ”

"What's the matter, what do you want water for?" Wu Ke asked strangely.

"I'll experiment and see if it's what I thought it would." Chu Chen replied.

After a while, Zuo Shan brought a basin of water over, and then, Chu Chen experimentally dropped two drops of water on the sword, wanting to see if the water had any effect on the sword, but he saw that the water was immediately absorbed by the sword body, and it looked like a person who hadn't eaten for a week, and the two drops of water were just two mouthfuls of porridge, and he didn't feel any taste at all.

This result had already surprised everyone a little, and then they saw Chu Chen put the sword into the basin full of water.

At this time, Wu Ke hurriedly said, "Achen, is this sword okay in the water?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I carefully observed this sword just now, and there was no oxidation reaction." And if you think about the environment in which it has been stored for so many years, although the scabbard seems to be tightly fitted, there is no moisture running into it at all, and it is not likely, since it has not been affected at all for so long, I think it should be fine. ”

Chu Chen is an expert in this regard, and since he said so, everyone is no longer worried.

Chu Chen put the sword into the water, but the next scene was something he didn't expect at all, only to see that the tip of the sword had just touched the water in the basin, and the water actually flowed up quickly along the lines of the sword body decoration, as if it was absorbing water.

And what made everyone feel even more incredible was that the original bronze sword slowly turned red, and in the end, the originally full basin of water was shallower at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Chu Chen estimated that the water that was sucked away was about a catty.

The scene in front of him made the eyes of everyone present widen and look dumbfounded, even Chu Chen was no exception. It's surprising enough that the sword will absorb water, and if it absorbs water, it will actually dye the sword red, what the hell is going on, obviously everyone can't figure it out.

"This, this, this...... Chu Shao, what's going on? ”

Seeing Chen lay the sword flat and flip it up and down, he saw that the water that had turned red was flowing bewitchingly in the lines, but not a drop fell. This situation is really contrary to common sense, as if in a dream, which makes Zuo Shan, who has been receiving atheist education, no longer hold back the question in his heart and ask.

"I don't know!" Chu Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, although he knew about the existence of this sword earlier than everyone else, but like everyone else, he was also very shocked by the scene in front of him, and he didn't know what the reason was for this strange phenomenon.

"Then why did you ask Brother Zuo to get water just now?" Wu Ke asked.

Chu Chen replied: "That's because I just saw that the lines that make up the pattern are covered with red substance, and I guessed whether this sword is water conduction, so I planned to try it, but I didn't expect it to be so magical, under the action of gravity of the center of gravity, the water would actually be sucked up like this." ”

"What does red matter have to do with water conduction?"

Chu Yulan asked strangely, but after a while, she thought of a reason, and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, do you mean that those red substances are formed after human blood has dried up?!" ”

Chu Chen sighed: "If nothing else, it should be like this, I smelled it just now, there is a faint smell of blood on it, it has been more than two thousand years, and you can still smell blood, it can be seen that there are not a few people killed by this sword at the beginning." ”

After listening to what Chu Chen said, everyone looked at the sword in front of them that turned red after absorbing water, and they understood why it was called Chixiao, this was simply a murderous sword, a sword stained red with blood! Chixiao is just beautifying it.

"Gross!"

Chu Yulan looked at the hand that touched the sword just now, she couldn't stand it, and ran to the bathroom while retching.

Not only her, but when Zhao Yunlin and Wu Ke looked at this sword again, their faces were not very good-looking, after all, they both lived in a peaceful era, and they couldn't stand it anymore when they saw killing, let alone a sword stained with human blood?

As for Zuo Shan, this sword not only did not make him feel unacceptable, but also a little excited, he asked Chu Chen for the sword, put it in front of his nose and smelled it.

"It does smell of blood, and it seems to be getting bigger."

"It should have melted into the water, and the smell was great." Chu Chen said.

Zhao Yunlin felt disgusted in her heart and said, "Can you stop mentioning this, besides, we are about to throw up." ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." ”

Zuo Shan also smiled, then looked at the sword in his hand and asked, "Chu Shao, where did you say this water was left in the end?" It doesn't necessarily mean that this sword light absorbs water, right? ”

Chu Chen thought for a moment and said, "I think it's likely that it leaked out along the hilt of the sword, but now that the hilt of the sword is sealed, I can't confirm this guess." ”

Zuo Shan nodded: "I think this possibility is also relatively large." If that's the case, then this sword is really amazing, you think about it, just now when it was almost vertical, the water was sucked up, if the water was not allowed to slip out horizontally, if this sword pierced people's bodies......"

Hearing this, everyone's faces also showed a look of fear, if it was really like what Zuo Shan said, the person who was stabbed by this sword would not immediately turn into a dry corpse, it would be extremely terrifying to think about!

At this time, Chu Yulan walked out with some palpitations, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but shudder, and said with a crying voice: "I will definitely have nightmares tonight, woo woo ......" (to be continued)
