Volume XXVII: Commenting on the Sword

"Brother Liu, Brother Zuo, you are here!" Ming Xuan came over and greeted him warmly.

"It turned out to be the eldest brother of the Zuo family's iron village, disrespectful and disrespectful!" Ou Zhiyang also greeted warmly, the owner of the well-known iron village in the city, it is impossible for Ou Zhiyang not to know him.

"It turned out to be the second son of the Ou family and Little Brother Gu, what kind of wind blew you here?" Zuo Jun also greeted warmly.

"I heard that Brother Liu said that Guizhuang has the strength to hit the top five this year, so I specially took Brother Ou to appreciate it first, so as not to be robbed by a crazy meal after being selected later, then I don't even have a one-sided relationship, wouldn't it be a pity?" Mingxuan quipped.

"Hahaha, that's right, little brother, you have a good idea! You have to take a good look at it first!" Zuo Jun is a hearty person, and when he heard this, he was immediately so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Oh, I can't say that the little brother also wants to look up and admire!" Hearing this, Ou Zhiyang was also full of interest, and quickly took the sword and carefully appreciated it.

"Well, it's made of dark iron, it's rare! The appearance is overflowing, and the sword sound is light and long, like a crane, and it lasts for a long time, it is indeed a good sword!" Ou Zhiyang couldn't help but praise after a rough look.

Ming Xuan also hurriedly took it over and felt it carefully, feeling that it was not too much different from Liu Zhiming's sword, but if you want to compare the appearance, then the difference is not a star and a half, if Liu Zhiming's sword can be selected into the top ten, then this sword does have the strength to hit the top five.

"Ou Gongzi is really a good eye! The material is not easy to come by, just collecting enough dark iron essence took me nearly half a year, and in order to remove the impurities inside, I took turns beating and refining from 20 masters in the whole village, day and night, it took a month! Zuo Jun is not very embarrassed to mention this, it really took him a lot of effort for this sword.

"The Xuantie Essence is not only rare, but it is indeed not easy to deal with, but the harvest is not small! In the humble opinion of the younger brother, this sword can be regarded as a rare and excellent product, and it must be among the top five, even if it can be said to be able to hit the leader, it is not impossible!" Ou Zhiyang's evaluation is indeed not low.

"I've only looked at a few clumsy swords, and I don't think you have a good eye for making such a rash conclusion. Ou Zhiyang's words, Shen Kang, who was next to him, heard this, and was naturally extremely unhappy, and said sarcastically.

"Oh, who am I so rude, it turns out to be Brother Shen; Oh! Uncle Shen is also here, the little nephew has seen Uncle Shen!" Ou Zhiyang has always been kind to people, but at this time, his words were thorny, it seems that the relationship between the two is not so good.

"The Ou family and the Shen family have always been on good terms, which is an open secret in Boiling City. Seeing Ming Xuan's stunned expression, knowing that he didn't understand why the two of them were-for-tat when they met, Liu Dali hurriedly whispered on the side.

"Listening to the meaning of the virtuous nephew, it seems that their Zuo family has already sat firmly at the top, it seems that our Shen family is not qualified enough this year. Shen Tiexin's tone didn't seem to be very friendly, and it seemed that he was also very dissatisfied with Ou Zhiyang's high-minded remarks just now.

"I'm just saying that the sword forged by Brother Zuo has the strength to impact the leader, and it doesn't mean anything else, Uncle Shen, don't get me wrong. Ou Zhiyang said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh, then, in that case, please see how the sword I forged is and see if it can get into your eyes." Shen Tiexin said in a loud voice, it seems that he is still very unhappy.

"Since Uncle Shen has such good intentions, then the little nephew will dare to take a look, but the little nephew has a clumsy eye, and he is afraid that he will not be able to see anything, please forgive me!" Although Ou Zhiyang would not deliberately please Shen Tiexin, he didn't want to offend him.

"You just have to look at what you want, and it doesn't hurt to be there. After all, Shen Tiexin has been famous for a long time, but he will not get along with a junior.

"The Ou family and the Shen family are feuds, it is said that the ancestors of the two families had a good relationship in the early years, and they were all famous casting masters at that time, but by chance, the two found a rare ore at the same time, both of them wanted to take it for themselves and fight, the ancestors of the Ou family in the battle seriously injured the ancestors of the Shen family and won the strange stone, and then with this strange stone refined the Qingling sword this famous soldier, so that the Ou family stepped into the list of bad products, and the ancestors of the Shen family not only did not get the strange stone, but also was seriously injured, and because of the lack of good enough materials can not refine the famous soldiers, resulting in depression; , Although so many years have passed, the relationship is not as stiff as before, but it is still not much better, this time the Shen family has won the top spot for two consecutive years, and if it takes the top spot again this year, it can also step into the list of unsatisfactory products, and these are naturally not what the Ou family wants to see. Liu Dali explained to Ming Xuan in a low voice, it seems that the relationship between the two families is quite deep.

After Ou Zhiyangzi carefully appreciated it, he flicked the sword body repeatedly, and shone in the sun for a long time, not letting go of any detail, it seems that he also attaches great importance to this evaluation, and he does not want to lose the name of his Ou family because of this, nor does he want to contribute to the prestige of the Shen family.

"Uncle Shen cast this sword, the whole body is blue and pure, is the selection of Sichuan famous Haibao blue casting; although the toughness of Haibao blue is excellent, but the nature is extremely brittle, so Uncle Shen you specially add lapis lazuli and a small amount of royal blue stone when casting, so as to ensure that the natural blue of Haibao blue is not lost, but also overcome its brittle problem, it is indeed painstaking, so that the sword cast, not only beautiful appearance, toughness, Strength and sharpness are the best choice, and the blue sky of Haibao does not stick to dust, so the sword body does not need to be wiped all year round, it will still be as bright as new......;

"But what?" Shen Tiexin was listening to it beautifully, but he was in a good mood by the last turn, and couldn't help but ask anxiously.

"Due to the use of too many materials, so the casting is very difficult, although Uncle Shen you try your best to even the material when casting, you should also work hard, but there seems to be a trace of insufficiency, the hilt of the sword is two inches up, it seems that the content of lapis lazuli is a little too much, the sound is slightly heavy and muddy when you flick here, in addition, the light transmittance of aquamarine is excellent, because of the uneven material, the light transmission here is slightly worse, slightly affecting the appearance, if you don't look closely, you can't notice it, but it is also flawed, it can be regarded as the best. Although Ou Zhiyang had already said it very well, for Shen Tiexin, who was bent on pursuing perfection, it was as uncomfortable as a sharp blade inserted into his heart, and his face turned pale, but he didn't say anything.

"Nonsense!" Shen Kang's face was a little unbearable, how could his father's painstaking work be denied.

"The little nephew's vision is clumsy, and what he said is just some superficial personal opinions, Uncle Shen doesn't have to care too much, the level of the jury is far higher than that of the little nephew, and he will definitely be able to give the most pertinent evaluation at that time. Ou Zhiyang still said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

While everyone was talking, the gong sounded! The jury is about to start tasting!

Ming Xuan and Ou Zhiyang returned to the surrounding stone steps and sat down. Ou Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and his mood calmed down, after all, the forger of the sword he just evaluated was not only a famous casting master, but also a high-level super master, and the pressure could be imagined.

"Is what you just said true?" Ming Xuan couldn't help but ask, because the atmosphere was a little tense at the time, Ming Xuan didn't have time to feel the sword, and he didn't have a bottom in his heart.

"It should be eight or nine. Ou Zhiyang is still quite confident in his vision.

"Then what position can the sword forged by Shen Tiexin reach?" Ming Xuan didn't treat Shen Kang very well, and naturally didn't want the Shen family to gain power.

"I don't know how the others are doing, but based on the quality of the past, at least there is no problem in getting into the top three. Since he hadn't appreciated them all, Ou Zhiyang didn't dare to pack tickets indiscriminately.

Since the sword evaluation is the finale of the previous product conferences, this time is no exception, every comment of the jury can cause a sensation in everyone, but this is not what Mingxuan cares about, Mingxuan cares about what the top ten are in the end, and what the ranking will be. In his heart, he still hopes that the Zuo family can take the lead.

The jury is from back to front, and their evaluations are very similar to what Ou Zhiyang said, and it seems that his vision is indeed not bad, but the jury not only pointed out the shortcomings in the sword, but also put forward some suggestions for improvement, on this one, it is still much better than Ou Zhiyang.

"Look! The jury walked past Uncle Liu's stage but didn't make an evaluation!" Ou Zhiyang's eyes were sharp, and he immediately exclaimed after seeing it.

"Really, why?" Mingxuan wondered.

"The sword evaluation is the finale of the product conference, so if the jury thinks that there is a work that has the strength to enter the top ten, it will not make an evaluation immediately, but circle it first, and finally select the final top ten, and then announce the ranking and then evaluate it at the end, so as to whet the appetite of the audience, often this time is the climax of the whole product conference!" Ou Zhiyang said excitedly, obviously happy that Liu Zhiming could enter the top ten, and also excited that his evaluation was accurate.

Not surprisingly, Zuojiazhuang and Shenjiazhuang did not immediately make an evaluation, it seems that they have entered the top ten, after the jury has all appreciated, and after repeated discussions, and finally eliminated a few Zhuang shops that came out of the previous circle, leaving only the last ten, because the evaluation is pertinent and reasonable, but it has not caused too much controversy, at least they already have the ability to enter the top ten, but it is just bad luck, of course, regret is inevitable.

Peng Shiye cleared his throat and stood up. He's about to start announcing this year's top 10!

"Everyone, please be quiet!" Suddenly, the whole venue was silent, and everyone didn't want to miss every word he said at this time.

"Now we will start promulgating the top ten weapons in this year's category!" Peng Shiye said in a loud voice.
