Chapter 259: Strange Goods
"Sir, there's a treasure knife here!"
Liu Datong rushed to send the treasure knife, nearly fifty centimeters wide, about two feet long, the body of the knife is as smooth as new, without the slightest trace of rust. The blade is shiny and sharp. The entire body of the knife is covered with plum blossom-like patterns, and when the sun shines, it shoots out a dazzling white smooth, like a white tiger's fur.
"Patterned steel!"
Wen Yiming exclaimed: "Pattern steel is an iron-carbon alloy that can show the pattern forged by ancient craftsmen with a special process, which has been lost for a hundred years, and can cut through iron, cut gold and jade, and Ganjiang, Mo Ye, Long Yuan, Tai'a, Zhanlu, Fish Intestine, Juque, etc. are among the best. β
"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Guo cast a famous sword master, and the two swords cast by Mo Xie were cast, the former sword body was covered with cracks, and the latter sword body was covered with water ripples. This kind of cracked water ripple is actually a natural pattern formed after a hundred refinements. β
"This patterned blade has extremely tough and sharp edges, with a hidden serration at the edge, and due to the different combinations of steel and raw wrought iron, it has the characteristics of rigidity and softness. β
Since getting a few magic weapons, Wen Yiming has specifically consulted Ling Junsheng, and the old man has explained in detail the principle of ancient sword casting, although they are all made of steel, but they are different.
For example, the unearthed Yue Wang Goujian sword, the sword body uses tin copper smelting and casting technology, and the pattern is formed by copper sulfide, and contains a small amount of aluminum and nickel. The steel knives cast in the Han Dynasty were more finely structured, and the blades were firm and sharp due to the use of frying steel and quenching techniques.
Moreover, the pattern steel is often after hundreds of forging times by the sword casting master, and this natural pattern will appear, which is complicated and time-consuming. Each patterned sword was created by pooling the financial resources of the entire country, and it took years to build it. Therefore, for thousands of years, this famous sword and sword made of patterned steel was exclusive to emperors.
"White ...... Tiger!" Wen Yiming found that the blade was close to the hilt, and there were two wrong golden seal characters, and after careful identification, he was surprised: "White Tiger Knife! The famous knife mentioned in Tao Hongjing's "Ancient and Modern Sword Records", White Tiger!"
Ancient and modern sword records, is an ancient record of the introduction of swords, written by Tao Hongjing of the Warring States period. The book records the number of swords and swords made by various dynasties from Xia Yu to the Warring States period, and describes in detail the name, size, casting process and inscription of each sword.
As for the White Tiger Knife, it was cast by King Wei, because it was cast in Tiger Mountain, so after the knife was completed, it was called the White Tiger Knife!
"A sword two thousand years ago!"
You must know that although the White Tiger Knife is not as well-known as the cadre Mo Xie in terms of reputation, it is also a rare treasure in terms of value. After all, after thousands of years of inheritance, most of the ancient and modern sword records have been lost in the long river of history, and there are really very few that can really be passed on, and any one that appears is a national treasure.
Hei Feng hurriedly brought a basin of water and began to clean up the White Tiger Knife, and couldn't help but sigh: "The scabbard is inlaid with so many gems, and the entire handle is gilded, what a luxury!"
Wen Yiming couldn't help but sigh, it is true that the beast face swallowing part of this white deer knife is gilded, which is well preserved, and any damage, whether it is the beast face pattern or gilding, still shines with golden brilliance and shines.
The handle of the knife is also wound with gold wire, which increases the friction and highlights the preciousness of the knife. At the end of the hilt, a bright yellow diamond with a bright yellow color that exudes like fresh chicken fat is only a little smaller than a ping pong ball, although it is not weighed specifically, but it is certainly more than 100 carats.
"This can't be a real diamond, right?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, diamonds over ten carats are already very rare and valuable. There are now only 1,900 large diamonds of more than 100 carats in the world, and almost every one of them is famous. Of these 1,900, more than 90 percent are colorless diamonds, and only a handful of them are pure and intense.
"Won't it?"
Wen Yiming had already seen the yellow gem on the hilt, originally thought it was yellow glaze, after all, in ancient times, because of the complexity of production, the glaze was also very precious, especially the famous Yue Wang Goujian sword was inlaid with red glaze and turquoise.
"If it......'s a diamond?
Hei Feng looked at the yellow diamond obsessively, and muttered to himself: "It must be a diamond, last time I was in the jewelry store in Wangfujing, I saw a color similar to it, but it is many times smaller than it, only two carats, but the price is 5 million, which belongs to the treasure of the town store!"
The black tiger stammered: "Good girl, then this one will be at least hundreds of millions, right?"
"It doesn't matter how much it's worth, it won't be sold anyway!"
Wen Yiming waved his hand, and the yellow diamond and the white tiger knife were integrated, and it was impossible to separate. Since it is planned to establish a magic weapon museum, this knife is one of the important exhibits and can only be collected.
After all the cleaning was cleaned, the original appearance was black, and the appearance of potholes and potholes like rotten wood completely disappeared, replaced by diamond decorations, gilded animal faces. The handle is more than 40 centimeters long, and the blade is about 1.2 meters long and shimmering in the sunlight with a silvery-white glow and a plum blossom-like pattern.
The whole white deer knife gives people a strong sense of strength, and the gilded handle and the yellow diamond inlaid at the back add a bit of luxury. As can be seen from the small hole on the back edge of the handle, the knife should still have a spike, but it has been lost in more than a thousand years of historical changes.
"Chase, try the knife!"
Wen Yiming handed over the knife to Liu Datong, took the treasure knife, was very excited, and with a clear whistle, the knife went with the person, and the plum blossom knife technique was cast, and suddenly the cold light was everywhere, and the murderous atmosphere was soaring.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, a silver knife wheel appeared around Liu Datong, because the speed was too fast, the sharp blade cut through the air, and brought a piercing roar. The strong momentum, blowing up the dirt on the ground and flying around, the scene that can only appear in martial arts movies actually appeared in front of them, and everyone was relaxed and happy to watch, especially the black tigers, who were addicted.
"Open!"
With Liu Datong's bursting shout, he exerted force under his feet, jumped out four meters away, and went straight to the treasure chest in the clearing, the white deer knife in his right hand was like lightning, and the cold light appeared.
With a light sound, the White Deer Knife was like cutting tofu, easily dividing the heavy treasure chest into two, because the strength was too great, half of the blade was cut directly into the ground, and the huge power exploded instantly, as powerful as a landmine.
"Good guys!"
Wen Yiming was also enthusiastic, and he was also a master of opening up the four meridians, no worse than Liu Datong. It seems that you have to practice more when you have time, and you will pretend to be handsome and awesome in the future!
There are still a few pieces of Qin Tiger Talisman, the ancient emperor's military talisman used to dispatch troops, a token made of bronze or gold in the shape of a tiger, split into two halves, half of which was handed over to the general, and the other half was kept by the emperor. Only two Tiger Talismans can be used together at the same time, and the holder of the Talisman will be given the right to dispatch troops.
It seems that the level is very high, and it is very likely that some of the people here are really from the tomb of LΓΌ Buwei, maybe they were transferred here by ancient tomb robbers, and finally cheapened themselves.
"Go, next goal!"
