Zhao Hanxuan and Huangfu Yun's eyes widened when they heard this. They didn't know what Zhuang Rui was going to do? Could it be that after beating like this for a while, all the rust would fall off?
"Well, there's still a little something missing..."
Zhuang Rui took the bronze sword and looked around the room. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he walked to the corner and took the sweeping broom in his hand.
"You two, watch carefully..."
Zhuang Rui held the bronze sword in his left hand, and held the broom upside down in his right hand. The sword body drooped, and then he used the broom to scrape the bronze sword body hard.
A scene that shocked Zhao Hanxuan and Huangfu Yun happened. The rust on the bronze sword actually fell off with the broom. After a while, the ground was covered with rust residue, and the bronze sword body had a faint yellow light.
reveal.
"This... what kind of sword is this?"
Although Huangfu Yun often hangs out in major foreign auction houses, he has never seen such a magical scene. Could it be that the legendary immortal bronze sword will really appear in front of him?
"Old Zhao, find some rags and warm water..."
Zhuang Rui vigorously used a broomstick to clean the rust on the bronze sword. The broomstick was made of sorghum and was not afraid of damaging the bronze sword body. Besides, the rust was not formed by the bronze sword itself, but was just attached to it.
, Zhuang Rui hit the bronze sword just now to shake off the rust.
When Huangfu Yun said that there was rust on the sword, Zhuang Rui felt something was wrong, because through the rust, the bronze sword was almost visible, which meant that the rust was probably the bronze sword later.
It was buried with other weapons and corroded.
However, because the bronze sword itself is made of excellent material, it has not been corroded. It is just attached to it, making it look like a fire stick.
With this understanding, and when Zhuang Rui first struck the sword body, he found that the rust attached to it had signs of looseness, so Zhuang Rui performed a magic trick for the two of them.
The principle couldn't be simpler.
"Here, rag..."
There was no warm water in the store, so Zhao Hanxuan took the water from the water dispenser, brought it into the inner room, and handed Zhuang Rui a rag.
Zhuang Rui dampened the rag and wring it out, then wiped it carefully on the bronze sword. As the rust powder was gradually peeled off, the slightly yellowed bronze sword body appeared in front of the three of them.
The rust-free bronze sword was about an inch shorter than before. The sword was covered with balanced and beautiful lines. Under the illumination of the light, the sharp edges on both sides shone coldly. No one doubted at all that the sword was
Sharpness.
"Dang, Dang Dang..."
After wiping off the water stains with a dry cloth, Zhuang Rui held the sword in his left hand, flexed the middle finger of his right hand, and flicked it against the sword body. Suddenly, the sound of gold and iron clashing came out, which was clear and sweet, and very nice to hear.
"Brother Zhuang, take a look. Come and see if there are any inscriptions on it. This sword must be a famous sword that has been passed down through the ages. Come and take a look..."
Huangfu Yun, who was standing aside, was already red-eyed and couldn't help himself. If Zhuang Rui didn't listen to him, Brother Huangfu would probably come forward to snatch it away.
Zhuang Rui heard this and searched carefully on the sword. However, after looking for a long time, he found no words. Only one centimeter above the hilt, there were two patterns that looked like words. Unfortunately, Zhuang Rui didn't recognize them.
.
"Brother Huangfu, come and take a look, are these two characters inscriptions? They look a bit like gold inscriptions to me..."
Zhuang Rui grabbed the bronze sword body with a rag, turned it over and pointed the handle towards Huangfu Yun.
Huangfu Yun had long wanted to grab it and play with it. He immediately grabbed the handle and drew the sword.
"Damn, be careful, brother..."
Just when Huangfu Yun drew his sword, Zhuang Rui felt a chill in the palm of his hand. He quickly let go of his hand and looked at the rag that fell to the ground. It had been divided into two pieces.
"Really? Is it so sharp?"
Zhuang Rui's eyes widened. This legendary ability to cut through gold and iron was nothing more than that. Zhuang Rui made up his mind to try it later to see if he could make a decisive decision.
In the past, Zhuang Rui often saw in martial arts novels that those magical weapons were indestructible and extremely sharp, but Zhuang Rui thought it was all nonsense at that time. Although some of the techniques of the ancients cannot be copied until now, Zhuang Rui didn't believe it.
, without modern iron-making technology, how could the ancients refine such weapons?
However, facts speak louder than words. Looking at the two towels that fell on the ground, Zhuang Rui felt a chill in his heart. If he was too slow to let go, his palm might also get a cut.
"The blade is perfect, the satin pattern is like thousands of waves running, the blade is strong and subtle, sharp and sharp, treasure, it is really a treasure, how could the ancients forge such a sword?!"
Not only Zhuang Rui had this idea, Huangfu Yun also howled at the top of his lungs after carefully examining the bronze sword. It seemed that only in this way could he vent the excitement and shock in his heart.
"Brother Zhuang, what's going on?"
The monkey outside heard the movement in the inner room and rushed in. When he saw Huangfu Yun holding a sword with a red face, he immediately picked up a chair and stood in front of Zhuang Rui.
"Monkey, it's okay, it's okay. You can go out first. Brother Huangfu is a little excited..."
Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded by the monkey's behavior and quickly explained. Seeing the monkey's behavior, he almost threw the chair at Huangfu Yun.
"Oh, Brother Zhuang, if you need anything, call me..."
Although the monkey was timid, he really didn't have diarrhea at the critical moment. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he glanced at Huangfu Yun hesitantly, put down his chair and walked out, but he still felt uneasy and stayed at the door.
"Brother Zhuang, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I lost my temper, I really lost my temper..."
The monkey came in just now, and Huangfu Yun woke up from the shock. He carefully placed the sword on the table, but his eyes were still staring at the bronze sword without blinking.
"Brother Huangfu, did you see those two words? What do you read?"
Although Zhuang Rui guessed that the characters were bronze inscriptions from the Yin and Shang dynasties, he had only learned to identify seal scripts, but he didn't know anything about the characters before the Qin Dynasty.
It is said that there are really not many people in this world who can understand those words. I am afraid they can be counted on one pair of hands.
"Ah? Brother, what did you say? What do those two characters read?"
Huangfu Yun was still a little distracted and was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhuang Rui's words.
"Yes, you are an expert in collecting swords. What do those two characters read?"
Not only Zhuang Rui, but also Zhao Hanxuan also had a curious look on his face. Everyone has had a hero complex in their hearts. Not to mention Zhuang Rui, even Comrade Zhao, who also studied the martial arts novels of Jin Daxia and was familiar with the legendary magic weapons.
, are all extremely desirable.
Huangfu Yun laughed bitterly when he heard this and said: "Brother, you think too highly of me. I'm not even a half-assed expert on swords, let alone an expert on ancient writing. How can I recognize these two characters..."
"You don't know him either?"
Zhuang Rui was stunned when he heard this, and after looking at each other for a while with Zhao Hanxuan, he said: "Then let Master Ge come and take a look. He is a seal engraver, so he should have a deeper understanding of characters..."
"Xiaozhuang, these two characters should be from the Zhongdingwen of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, also called Jinwen. Although I know it, I have not done any in-depth research on this. What do these two characters read? I don't know, old man..."
After Master Ge came in, he used a magnifying glass to carefully examine the two characters-like patterns, but he didn't recognize them either, which made Zhuang Rui and others feel slightly disappointed.
"Forget it, I'll go back and trace these two words, and then find someone to take a look..."
Zhuang Rui shook his head helplessly, but immediately became excited again. He ran outside the store and pulled out a hair from the monkey's head. Before the monkey could react, Zhuang Rui had already gone back to the back room.
"Do you really want to try it?"
When Zhao Hanxuan saw Zhuang Rui's childlike behavior, he remembered that the boss in front of him was just a boy in his twenties. Huangfu Yun approached him with interest and helped Zhuang Rui pick up the bronze sword.
, the sword was placed in front of Zhuang Rui with its blade upward.
The monkey's hair was not short, about five or six centimeters long. Zhuang Rui put it on the blade of the sword. The hair was not broken. However, when Zhuang Rui blew a strong breath on the blade of the sword, the hair suddenly melted.
Two of them fell to the ground from the sword's edge.
“You can break your hair by blowing it!”
For a moment, the room became silent, and the breathing of the three people became obviously heavier. This unknown bronze sword was definitely no less than the legendary Gan Jiang, Mo Xie and other famous swords, and it might even be more powerful.
There has been.
"Brother, you... how much did you buy this sword for?"
Huangfu Yun suddenly remembered this question and asked with his throat feeling a little dry.
"I bought it together with the Huanshou knife. The two of them together cost 1,200 yuan..."
Zhuang Rui's words made Huangfu Yun and Zhao Hanxuan present all roll their eyes. Doesn't this mean it's a free gift? If nothing else, based on the sharpness and age of this sword, taking it to the auction house would cost at least
Bidding starts at more than 30 million.
"By the way, how about this sword cutting iron? Let's try to see if it can cut gold and iron?"
Zhuang Rui was also very excited at this moment, just like a person who doesn't know martial arts and gets the secret of magical skills. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
"Iron tools forged by modern technology will definitely not work, but you can try to find some copper coins. The sword unearthed in Longquan can cut seven copper coins without any damage..."
Huangfu Yun shook his head, not very agreeing with Zhuang Rui's approach. If this damaged the edge of the bronze sword, it would be irreparable.
"Okay, then let's try copper coins..."
Zhuang Rui also knew that modern ironware was made of alloys, mixed with steel, and using copper coins suited his wish. He quickly called the monkey and asked him to buy some copper coins.
