...The community where Chang Fangtao is located is a newly built community with good facilities. He took the elevator to the ninth floor and Chang Fangtao opened the door of the first room on the left!
"Not bad, three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms, 150 square meters, right?" Liu Dong walked in and looked at it.
"Well, it's 158 square meters, but it was all bought for me by my family. I didn't pay much myself!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at him and said with a smile: "It seems that your parents are very enthusiastic about getting you married and having grandchildren!"
"Isn't it? Now he calls me three times a week, and every time the topic is about finding a wife to get married. I'm so scared that I don't even dare to call home!" Chang Fangtao said with a distressed look on his face.
"Then you can quickly find them a daughter-in-law, right?"
Hearing this, Chang Fangtao couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said angrily: "What you said is easy. Marrying and marrying a wife is a lifelong matter, so you can decide casually. Besides, my brother is just 21 years old this year, so great
How can you possibly enter the grave of marriage early when you are still waiting for your buddies to squander your youthful years!...Okay, let’s not talk about these troublesome things, what do you want to drink?”
"Just give me some water, I was a little salty just now!" Liu Dong said.
"No problem!...Here, Nongfu Spring!"
After catching the mineral water thrown by Chang Fangtao, opening it and taking a sip, Liu Dong stood up and said, "Hey, take out the biggest basin in your house!"
"What for?" Chang Fangtao asked in surprise.
"Don't you want to see my sword? Then I'll let it reveal the true face of Lushan to you!"
"Haha, this relationship is great, just wait!" As he said, Chang Fangtao rushed into the guest bathroom next to him. After a while, he came out with a washbasin.
"Can you look at this basin?"
"No. It's too small. You have to be able to put down this sword!" Liu Dong shook his head.
"Put down the sword?" Chang Fangtao looked at the nearly 70-centimeter-long iron rod in Liu Dong's hand and frowned!
"Yes, come with me!" After saying that, Chang Fangtao took Liu Dong into the bathroom, pointed to the bathtub inside and said, "Let's just use it. This is the only bathtub in my house that can put down your sword.
Got it!"
"That's the only way!" After nodding, Liu Dong put the long sword in his hand into the bathtub, then heated the water in the water heater and put it into the bathtub. He waited until the water completely submerged the bronze sword before stopping.
!Finally Liu Dong asked Chang Fangtao to find plastic sheeting to cover the bathtub!
Originally, according to Liu Dong's plan, it would be best to use a big pot to cook it, but the conditions are not met, so for the time being, I can only make do with it. The worst thing is to soak it for a while!
"What now?"
"Let's watch TV now and come back in two hours!" With that said, Liu Dong walked out of the bathroom.
"Watching TV?" After looking at the ancient sword that had been completely surrounded by steaming heat and disappearing, Chang Fangtao couldn't figure out what Liu Dong was doing, so he shook his head and followed him out.
Two hours was neither long nor short. Compared with Liu Dong's calmness, Chang Fangtao, who was eager to know the result, found it difficult to sit down.
When the pointer on the watch pointed to four-ten, Chang Fangtao immediately jumped up from the sofa, pulled Liu Dong and said: "Liu Dong, the time is up!"
After nodding, Liu Dong stood up and said: "Come over with that brush!"
"Brush? Can I use a shoe brush?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Don't tarnish my brother's sword with your stinky feet!"
"It's really difficult to serve!" After muttering, Chang Fangtao's eyes lit up, "Yes, just wait!"
Chang Fangtao rushed into the bedroom, rummaged through the cabinets, and came out with a paintbrush, "If this doesn't work, it will be gone!"
Looking at Chang Fangtao's hand, which is the hard-bristled brush commonly used when painting gouache and oil paintings, and it is also the thickest kind, Liu Dong nodded: "Okay, that's it!"
I took the paintbrush into the bathroom and lifted off the plastic sheet covering the bathtub. The originally clear water in the bathtub had now become turbid.
Watching Liu Dong pick up the sword from the bathtub, Chang Fangtao asked curiously: "Liu Dong, why did you soak it for so long? Bronze swords are not instant noodles!"
"You'll know just by looking at it!" Liu Dong didn't bother to answer after hearing this guy's nonsensical words.
Opening the valve, draining the sewage in the bathtub, flushing out the remaining impurities, and then adding clean hot water again, Liu Dong began to clean the hilt of the sword with a paintbrush.
The reason why we clean this place is because there are only some oxidized fabrics and a lot of dust adhering to the hilt of the sword. Soaking it in hot water for two hours will greatly weaken the adhesion of these things, and you can basically clean it off with just a brush.
.
The fact was indeed as Liu Dong expected. In less than ten minutes, the round sword head was completely revealed, then the hilt, and then the beast-faced mouth inlaid with turquoise and blue glaze.
"This is really a sword!" Chang Fangtao couldn't help but said in surprise when Liu Dong came here.
And looking at the gems inlaid in this sword, it is not an ordinary war sword, but a sword that can only be used by princes and nobles!
At this time, Liu Dong could not take into account Chang Fangtao's surprise, because the next cleaning was the most difficult part.
Compared with the sword's head, hilt and mouth, which are basically stuck with dust and dirt, the things on the sword's body are more stubborn.
Because this sword was buried with a scabbard when it was placed in the tomb. Unfortunately, due to the erosion of more than two thousand years, the scabbard, which may have been made of a mixture of shark skin and iron, has been carbonized and attached to the sword.
In comparison, they are much harder to remove than dust! Even after soaking for two hours, it still takes a lot of effort!
"Holy shit!" After Liu Dong cleaned up the area slightly larger than a copper coin from where he swallowed his mouth, Chang Fangtao couldn't help but curse!
Because, from the place that Liu Dong cleaned up, you can already see the patterns on the sword and the gleaming blade.
'One spot reveals the whole leopard'. The area where the sword has not been cleaned must be as sharp as this one!
"This is exactly the rhythm of getting a sword of the level of 'Yue Wang Goujian Sword'!" Chang Fangtao's eyes widened for a moment, and he shouted in his heart.
At first, he thought that he had picked up Zhao Yunhe's authentic work, but now compared with Liu Dong's national treasure-level ancient sword, the difference is like a firefly and a bright moon!
As Liu Dong cleaned up bit by bit, more and more sword blades were revealed. After waiting for more than half an hour, one sword was two feet three inches long, about 70cm, with a round head, an animal face and a swallowing mouth, and its appearance was similar to that of King Goujian of Yue.
An ancient sword with 70% similarity appeared in Liu Dong's hand.
However, unlike the sword of King Goujian of Yue and the Chixiao sword in the hands of Liu Dong, the pattern on this ancient sword is a curling cloud pattern!
"Liu Dong, what are these two characters? Do you recognize them?" Chang Fangtao asked, pointing to the two gold-inlaid characters on the sword near the swallowing mouth.
To be honest, if Liu Dong really wanted to recognize it, he really didn't know these two bird seal scripts, but with the relic Yuanguang, he could identify the origin and name of the sword.
"These two words are 'Moye'!" Liu Dong took a deep breath and said with excitement in his tone.
"Mo Xie, this name is quite weird...!" Before he finished speaking, Chang Fangtao was stunned. Just a few seconds later, he jumped up like an electric shock and grabbed Liu Dong's left shoulder.
, with a face full of disbelief and said: "'Moye'? You said this is the 'Moye Sword' in Gan Jiang Moye? Is it true or false? Are you sure you read it correctly? Is it really the Moye Sword?"
Several questions came out of Chang Fangtao's mouth like a barrage, leaving Liu Dong unable to answer and at the same time he could see how excited the other party was at this time.
In fact, it's not surprising that Chang Fangtao was like this. When Liu Dong first found this sword in the tomb of Liu Yi, the king of Sichuan, he was equally excited.
"Gan Jiang Mo Xie", these two male and female swords are so famous in Chinese history, and along with the eternal love between them, every Chinese people remember them, and at the same time, they also remember these two swords.
The peerless sword named after them!
"Liu Dong, can you show it to me?"
"Of course! But you have to catch it, this sword is very sharp!" Liu Dong said, holding the sword horizontally and handing it over with both hands.
Looking at this divine sword that has been passed down through the ages, Chang Fangtao took it with his hands as if on a pilgrimage.
"Liu Dong, are these two characters really 'Moye'?" Chang Fangtao asked again.
"Of course, this is the bird seal script from the Spring and Autumn Period. I am a sculptor and have studied ancient characters. These two characters are Moye. They are unmistakable!" Liu Dong said, half truthfully and half falsely.
After nodding, Chang Fangtao carefully reached out and touched the gold-inscribed text on the sword's jaw, and then stroked the curling cloud pattern on the sword's body.
"Hey, Liu Dong, why are these patterns so smooth? You can't feel any fluctuations when you touch them. Try it!" Chang Fangtao said in surprise.
"No need to try it. This kind of pattern is called 'Dark Pattern'. Only a very small number of magical weapons can have this kind of dark pattern! Because this pattern is not carved on it, but a pattern forged by craftsmen after thousands of hard work.
!" Liu Dong said.
In fact, what Liu Dong was talking about just now was the famous pattern steel!
"The ancients were so awesome?" Chang Fangtao said in surprise.
Hearing this, Liu Dong also nodded with some emotion. Over the past five thousand years, China's skilled craftsmen have created amazing technologies, including patterned steel. However, as time passed by, they were finally replaced by the rule of China.
The lack of attention by readers, misinterpretation by the world, and conservatism in inheritance have all been lost in the long river of history, leaving only sighs for future generations!
"Liu Dong, let's try it and see how sharp it is?" Chang Fangtao asked expectantly.
It is said that the Goujian Sword of the King of Yue can 'blow hair and cut off hair'; with one stroke, it can cut off more than 20 pieces of copy paper. Chang Fangtao has never seen it, but he really wants to try this famous Moye sword that has been passed down through the ages!
"Okay!" Liu Dong was also about to try it!
"Just wait, I'll get the paper!" As he said that, Chang Fangtao handed the Moye Sword to Liu Dong with an excited expression and ran out.
Seeing him leaving, Liu Dong first drained the dirty water in the bathtub, then rinsed it clean, and then came to the living room. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
