"Here, dig!"

Jinbao lived up to expectations, and sure enough, it was found in the remote back mountain, and everyone dug and finally found two treasure chests, which were very heavy.

Opening the first box, Hei Feng quickly finished sorting it out, and reported: "6 pieces of jade, 5 pieces of gold, 1 piece of hairpin, 1 piece of rose ruby, 3 pieces of Wanli Tongbao, and 4 pieces of porcelain." Among them, the jade is the ornament on the jade belt, the color is fine white, the jade quality is pure, the carving is very fine, the shape is beautiful and vivid, and it is small and exquisite. Of the 5 pieces of gold, 4 are of red gold and weigh 91 grams. ”

Wen Yiming nodded with satisfaction, after Liu Datong's training, he became more and more professional, very good. I came to the second box, opened it and said in surprise: "Luwang furnace!"

It turned out that after the death of Zhu Yiyi, his son Zhu Changshu succeeded to the throne, he studied Wenhan, loved antiques, was good at pen, ink and stone, and called himself a master. There was a fire in the old palace, and Zhu Changshu simply invited craftsmen to cast countless large gold cakes into antique furnaces, numbering them one by one, with a total of 360.

In order to make the antique furnace look like a real cultural relic, the craftsman wrapped the furnace with cowhide, and then buried it in the ground, allowing it to rust naturally, in an attempt to confuse the real with the fake. Later, Li Zicheng rebelled, the world was in turmoil, Zhu Changshu fled south to Hangzhou for refuge, this batch of antique furnaces did not have time to take out, and the legend is unknown.

In fact, this batch of things is not that no one knows, but it has long been stolen and dug up, and it is called gluttonous Wending in the cultural relics market, commonly known as Luwang furnace. The stock is scarce and very valuable. The National History Museum now collects a gluttonous pattern tripod, and the bottom of the tripod is engraved with the Ming Chongzhen Lu country made land picker. Experts speculate that it should be the 16th of the 360 Luwang furnaces that year.

"There are nine of them here!"

Wen Yiming laughed, very satisfied with today's harvest, moved all the things out, and suddenly knocked on the bottom of the box with his hand, something is wrong, there should be a mezzanine.

"It's ......"

The moment the mezzanine was opened, a cold light flashed in everyone's eyes, and they saw that there was a knife more than three inches long and shining like autumn water.

Wen Yiming first picked up the three jade plates in the mezzanine, started warmly, and carved skillfully, regardless of flowers, birds, fish and insects, lifelike.

"Zigang card!"

I couldn't help but exclaim: "It's definitely Zigang card, it's magical, and only Lu Zigang has this stunt!"

Lu Zigang is the most famous jade master in history, recorded in many literati notes, Suzhou Prefecture Chronicles: Lu Zigang, grinding jade Lu Mu, making narcissus hairpins, exquisite and kitsch, flower stems as thin as a hair.

Xu Wei's "Song of Narcissus Hairpin": There is a slight charm and Chen Miaochang, and there is no smoke and fire Dulan incense. Kunwu Peak is like the end of the south, and it is sad to nail Suzhou Luzigang.

Lu Zigang's skills are overwhelming and well-known all over the world. When the emperor heard about it, he specially ordered him to carve a hundred horses on the jade wrench. He was not stumped, but only a few days to complete, carved on the small jade wrench finger high above the mountains and a wide open city gate, and the horse carved only three, one galloping in the city, one is galloping towards the city gate, one just from the valley to show the horse's head, just this but give people the feeling of hiding the horses countless galloping out, wonderful, since then his jade carving has become the patent of the royal family.

Wen Yiming took out the largest jade plate, carved on it eight horses, there was no payment, very curious, carefully studied, and finally found the word Zigang in the ears and eyes of a horse in the middle, which is really breathtaking!

"Then this knife, won't it be ......"

"Kungo Knife!"

Biography of Li Gonglin in the History of the Song Dynasty: The imperial court got the jade seal, and the Confucianism of the lower officials was different. Gonglin said: Qin Xi uses Lantian jade, now the jade color is green, with dragons, worms, birds and fish as the text, with the emperor's ordination of the talisman, the jade quality is very strong, non-Kunwu knife, toad fat can not be cured, the law is absolutely true, Qin Lisi is not doubtful, the reason for the discussion is determined. ”

Kunwu knife is made of Kunwu stone smelted into iron knife, the record of ten continents in the sea Fenglinzhou records, in the past Zhou Mu Wang, Xihu offered Kunwu cutting jade knife and the night light often full cup, the knife is one foot long, the cup is three liters. A knife cuts jade like mud...... The place where the sword came out came from Liuzhou.

What tools did Lu Zigang use to carve jade so delicately? And he is very particular about jade, there is a so-called jade color is not beautiful, jade quality is not good, jade is not good, jade is not good.

You should know that the better the quality of the jade, the higher the hardness and the more difficult it is to carve. According to Lu Zigang himself, his unique skills are all from the original Seiko carving knife Kunwu. But this Kunwu knife has never been secret, and the skills of the knife have not been passed on.

Kunwu knife has been spread in ancient times, it is rumored that there is an island in the West Sea, there is a strange stone on the island, called Kunwu stone, this stone can be used to smelt iron, and the iron light made shines brightly, such as water spirit, and the jade stone is cut like cutting soil.

Therefore, it is also called Kunwu cutting jade knife, there have been many records in the history books, according to legend, He's Bi began to be unable to make the jade seal of the country, and Li Si's hair was gray, and finally adopted the advice of his subordinates, and the use of Kunwu cutting jade knife was the most popular to make the jade seal of the country.

Legend has it that Lu Zigang's ancestral seal carving technique is quite prestigious, once met a guest, took out the colorful brocade box from his arms, took out a piece of corundum from it, and wanted to engrave a seal.

Lu Zigang was immediately dumbfounded, he had tried it in the past, and the hardness of corundum was too high. When the carving knife touches the knife and rolls the knife immediately, let alone the lettering, it is extremely difficult to carve a groove on it at will. I had to watch the man leave.

This incident was unforgettable for him, and when he returned home, he looked through many ancient books and did not find the answer. A few years later, I happened to find a piece of black iron in the corner of the bazaar, which was rusty and mottled, and it could be vaguely seen that there was an ancient seal inscription engraved on it, which was five inches long and one inch wide, which was several times heavier than that of ordinary iron. Hurry up and pay for it.

Use black iron to sharpen corundum, fall off one after another, put it in the furnace, refine it for three days and three nights, and refine it to red, but as soon as it comes out of the furnace, it immediately becomes a hard and black stubborn iron, and it can be tempered thousands of times, but it can neither be cut open, nor can it be rolled, and there is no way.

I heard that there is Zhong Guqing by the West Lake, and his ancestors have been skilled craftsmen who cast swords for several generations. Lu Zigang came to visit, Zhong Guqing said: This is the ancient iron sword head left over from the ancient country of Kunwu in the Xia Dynasty, a rare treasure, condensed gold, silver, copper, iron, tin and hardware essence, and because of the age of the soil, it has won the delicate atmosphere of the mountains and rivers, and now it has been psychic.

If you forge it properly, you can get three iron pens, one is used to engrave stone, which is several times sharper than a steel knife, the second is used to engrave gold and iron, sharpening iron like clay, and the third is used to carve crystal jade, so that it is like a quick knife cutting wood, swinging freely, effortlessly, it is really a priceless treasure.

Zhong Guqing lit the roaring furnace, and strangely enough, there was a teapot on top of the furnace. I saw Zhong Guqing sitting in front of the furnace, muttering in his mouth, as if he was reciting some incantation.

After reciting it for a long time, I applied the tea from the teapot to the ancient iron, put it in the furnace to refine, and when it was burned out, I took it out and re-applied it, and then refined it after it was smeared...... After repeating this more than a dozen times, the ancient iron in the furnace suddenly emitted a dazzling multicolored light.

Remove the iron from the furnace and disconnect it from the anvil. Suddenly, only a strange crisp sound was heard, and the ancient iron had been cut into three sections, which were straight and straight, and had become knife-shaped.

Take it and forge it slightly, and engrave it with an inscription, one piece engraved with cut jade, one piece engraved with broken gold, and the other engraved with clouds. Then he took out an agate-like ruby and sharpened it on the blade for a moment, and the blade immediately flashed with a cold light, and the peerless treasure was formed.
