Chapter 364
"What a great guy." Old Tian exclaimed: "This thing must be a supreme killing weapon in ancient times. Once you stab it, you must be penetrated by armor and chest, and you cannot be defended."
"A magic weapon, even if it is not a fish intestine, it is not much different."
Several old men were amazed and reached out to Mr. Zhang for a dagger to watch, then cut it into pieces by themselves. Not long after, the table next to it was cut into blocks.
After turning around, the dagger returned to Mr. Zhang's hand. He continued to look at it and pondered: "I don't know much about weapons. Can you tell what era it is?"
"This is really hard to say." Old Qin frowned and said, "Without inscribed, it is difficult to determine the specific era just by looking at the shape."
"The shape is very common, just an ordinary dagger, or a short sword." Zhang Lao analyzed: "So, we can only identify it from the texture characteristics of the dagger."
"Lao Zhang, do you suspect this is a dagger that has been famous in history?" Old Bai was a little surprised.
"That's right." Old Zhang nodded and said, "Although I don't know much about cold weapons, I also know that the patterned steel weapons like this were very rare in ancient times and could not be cast casually. As long as I cast them into a handful, it will definitely be widely publicized, and I wish everyone in the world would know it."
“It makes sense.”
Mr. Tian nodded and said, "I won't talk about the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Every magic weapon is definitely priceless. Even if it is exchanged for a real city, the princes may not be willing to transfer it. The emperors and generals of the past dynasties were similar. While strictly controlling the use of weapons among the people, they also strive for magic weapons. As long as there are swords and swords that appear in the world, they will definitely support it..."
"Looking at ancient poems and songs, you will know that not only literati praise the sword and sword, but even the emperors came to join in the fun and wrote many chapters praising swords and swords." Qin Lao gave an example: "For example, Cao Pi's Lumo sword inscription and Cao Zhi's sword fu..."
"Old Qin, you probably won't mention Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for no reason." At this moment, Old Zhang's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Did you think of something?"
"I have some idea." Old Qin smiled and said, "Look, what does the texture on the dagger look like?"
"Fish scales." Zhang Lao said: "In fact, the forging process of pattern steel is very complex. According to different craftsmanship, the textures formed are also different. Not only are there like fish scales, but also like turtle characters, like mountains, like flowing waves... and other textures."
"I'll ask you what you look like, don't talk a lot of things." Old Qin laughed and scolded: "I know the complexity of texture, but you've neglected a little. Although there were not many patterned steel swords in ancient times, they were not small, so the textures must be more diverse. However, there shouldn't be many weapons in the shape of daggers."
"Bai Pi Dagger."
In an instant, Old Zhang blurted out and said happily: "Old Qin, you are still reacting quickly enough. It's not that you reminded me that I have forgotten this."
Wang Guan, who was listening attentively, couldn't help but ask, "What Baipi Dagger?"
"There are very few famous daggers in ancient times." Zhang Laoxing said: "The most famous one must be Yuyan, followed by Jing Ke assassinating King Qin, and the dagger that Mrs. Xu saw when she saw the dagger, and then the Baipi dagger."
"The classic theory records that Prince Pi of Wei made three daggers with a hundred and fifteen. One of the principles is like solid ice, and it is called Qinggang; the two stars are like the sun, and it is called Yangwen, and the third shape is like dragon patterns, and it is called dragon scales."
While speaking, Old Zhang waved at the dagger in his hand and smiled: "Fish scales were also called dragon scales in ancient times, so they were named. In other words, this dagger is likely to be the Baipi dagger dragon scale cast by Cao Pi."
"Of course, it's just a guess."
Mr. Qin smiled and said, "If you want to know the final result, it is best to do a thermal luminescence and detect the specific era. If you can confirm that this dagger has a history of 1,800 years, then you can be sure that this is a dragon scale dagger."
"I happened to be in the capital and went for testing with Guqin." Yu Feibai said with a smile. After Mr. Zhang asked for a dagger, he played a few sword flowers and continued to cut building blocks.
"How did you get the things?" Zhang Lao Rao said interested.
"Feibai discovered it." Wang Guan shirked responsibility without hesitation: "When he was playing with the long sword, he knocked off a piece of the knife. Then I found an abnormality and checked the remaining half before I realized that it was a dagger hidden in the knife."
"Haha, that's right, it's my credit." Yu Feibai was in a relaxed mood now, very excited, but he ignored some small details. While playing with a dagger, Shi Ensuo reported: "Wang Guan, if it weren't for me, this treasure would probably be covered with pearls. So, you have to borrow me to watch for a few months."
"knew."
Wang Guan said indifferently: "Just remember to pay me back if you are tired of playing."
"How could you get tired of it... Forget it, I won't mention it anymore, I know you will definitely not sell it."
Yu Feibai muttered, then walked over, looked at the other weapons in Wang Guan's suitcase, looking eager to try. Without opening his mouth, he knew what he was thinking.
"Feibai, don't look at it." Wang Guan said with a hint of laughter and crying: "You think the ancient magic weapon is modern cabbage, and it's good to find one by one. How could it be..."
“This is not necessarily.”
Yu Feibai shook his head and said that others would definitely not have such good luck, but it was hard for Wang Guan to say. Now he is numb to the examples of Wang Guan repeatedly picking up treasures, and he is only thinking about when it will be his turn to pick it up. It was half a time just now, but unfortunately the thing was not his, which made Yu Feibai feel a little sad.
"If you don't believe it, you can check it slowly."
At this time, Wang Guan shrugged and said, "But it's messed up, you have to be responsible for cleaning up."
"Then forget it." Yu Feibai gave up, and then smiled and said, "Anyway, after you go home, you will definitely put it out again. I will study it slowly then."
"Tsk!" Wang Guan expressed his contempt: "Lack!"
At the same time, Mr. Zhang gently copied it, took out the Zhongzheng sword he gave to Wang Guan, and then compared it with the dagger in Yu Feibai's hand, and immediately said with emotion: "The shape is similar, but the quality is as different as a world of difference."
"Lao Zhang, stop feeling."
Old Tian next to him smiled and said, "This is a historical trend, and it is also a major trend. The ancient casting process was only in the hands of a few people. Once there was a natural disaster, it was normal to have faults. What we need to do now is to rediscover these lost crafts and protect them, which is worthy of our ancestors."
"Too……"
