Chapter 673: The Peak Representation

ps: Today's third update, please support the monthly ticket.

I was feeling depressed and sad? At this moment, let alone Lao Meng and others, even Pi Qiushi couldn't help but shake his head, and I didn't know how to curse secretly in my heart.

There is a saying that bitches are pretentious, and it is very appropriate to describe the current situation.

Wang Guan had just been to Hong Kong for a few days and found a few rare treasures one after another. He even said that this was his sad place. Aren’t he afraid of arousing public outrage?

Of course, everyone was also complaining in their hearts. Seeing that Wang Guan had made up his mind, they naturally didn't have much advice, so they simply sent him to the airport, bid farewell to him, and then watched him board the plane and leave.

There must be Bei Ye and Pi Qiushi who returned to Beijing with Wang Guan, but Qiao Yu stayed there, as if she was dealing with some family business, and she was too busy for a while.

Wang Guan was quite happy about this. After making an appointment to meet again when he had time, he pulled Bai Ye away.

The plane arrived at the Capital Airport very quickly and successfully, and then drove to Mr. Qian's mansion with ease. Because he called in advance, Mr. Qian calculated the time and was waiting at the door.

The moment he saw Wang Guan, Mr. Qian said a few casual greetings, and then directly asked for it: "Where is Gongbu Jian."

“Here.”

Wang Guan understood Mr. Qian's eagerness and took out the sword box directly.

Seeing the sword box, Mr. Qian laughed and nodded, but no longer anxious. Instead, he called out: "It's great, don't stand and go in and talk. After having a cup of tea, let's talk about your experience in Hong Kong in detail."

Wang Guan and others naturally had no objection. After coming to the living room, they didn't need to take action. Wang Guan turned around and boiled water and made tea. His movements were like flowing water without any breath of fireworks. The tea art was also a place to enter the room.

At this time, Mr. Qian opened the sword box with a light hand and carefully took out the Gongbu sword. While admiring the fine texture of the sword, he reached out and touched it gently, and there was a look of admiration on his face.

"The pine starts from the text and ends at the ridge, like a pearl that cannot be worn, and the text is like flowing water." Mr. Qian recited it lightly, and then sighed with a smile: "It's exactly the same as the one recorded."

"What's even more rare is that more than two thousand years have passed, and the sword blade is still very sharp."

At this moment, Pi Qiushi smiled and gestured, "Brother Wang has tried it. He directly slashed with one sword, and easily chopped such a large bundle of straw mat in half."

"This is a domineering sword, so it is naturally unstoppable."

Mr. Qian was not surprised, but the admiration on his face became more obvious. At the same time, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly spoke: "Wang Guan, don't rush to make tea, go and bring a basin of clear water."

"What do you want to do with clear water?"

Wang Guan was stunned, but did not ask any more questions. He went out to make a basin of clean water as he told him to put the clean water down. However, after he asked him to put the clean water down, Mr. Qian did not rush to point out his intentions, but continued to watch the patterns on the body of Gongbu Jian.

Seeing this, Wang Guan said curiously: "Old Qian. Is there anything wrong with the texture on his body?"

"Not that's wrong..." Qian Lao smiled and asked again: "Wang Guan, let's talk about it. This craftsman sword has flowing water patterns. Does it belong to flat pattern steel or rough pattern steel?"

The so-called flat pattern and rough pattern are actually easier to understand.

For example, the Daxia Dragon Bird Knife on Wang Guan’s hand and the Japanese samurai sword taken out by Mr. Hu. Although the surface of the weapon has obvious texture, the texture is very restrained. It is very smooth and delicate when touched with your hands. It must be flat pattern steel.

As for rough-surfaced pattern steel, it is the Malays sword, or the Chinese King of Yue Goujian sword. The texture of this weapon cannot be described as obvious, but it seems like a bee nest, giving people a rough feeling.

Of course, these roughnesses were made on purpose. For example, Malays made the blade texture into rough surfaces, which was convenient to harsh poisons in the gaps of the texture and increase the lethality of weapons. The King of Yue Goujian’s sword was purely an aesthetic issue. The ancients thought that the sword had such rough surface patterns that were very exquisite, so they deliberately forged it.

However, at this time, Wang Guan felt a little surprised because this was a very obvious fact. After all, even if there were flowing water patterns on the gongbu sword, the sword body was smooth and delicate, and it was obviously a flat pattern steel.

"Is flat pattern steel?" At the same time, Mr. Qian smiled gently, then he took a soft towel, soaked it in clean water, wringed it out, and slowly wiped the sword body.

After spending a few minutes, Mr. Qian carefully wiped the sword with his craft cloth carefully, and nothing special happened during this period. It was just that the light shines even brighter when the sword body was slightly wet.

At this moment, Mr. Qian suddenly stood up, then held the sword in both hands, held the sword flat, the sword spine was parallel to the ground, and then tilted slightly at an angle. After adjusting the angle, he spoke and said, "Take a glass of water, then pour it down at the hilt of the sword to see what will happen."

Hearing this, Wang Guan became even more curious, but before he could do it, Pi Qiushi, next to him, picked up the cup and walked over, and then followed Mr. Qian's instructions and poured water slowly.

At this moment, Wang Guan must have observed carefully without blinking.

I saw that because Pi Qiushi poured very slowly, the clear water in the cup did not spill, but instead flowed gently along the sword spine, and soon overflowed the entire sword body. The tip of the sword was about to flow back into the basin.

However, at this moment, Wang Guan widened his eyes and a look of incredible flashed across his face. Pi Qiushi could see clearly from the side and couldn't help but exclaim: "How is this possible..."

No wonder the two were shocked. The main reason was that at this moment, a cup of clear water in Pi Qiushi's hand had been completely poured out, but the water flowed through the sword spine. Logically, it should have dripped directly into the basin along the tilted angle. After all, this is gravity. After Newton was hit by an apple in the head, he discovered the law summarized. Until now, he has not been overturned. Today, he still worships the truth as a god.

However, Wang Guan did not expect that at this time he actually saw a scene that subverted the law of gravity, and he was stunned and shocked by Pi Qiushi next to him.

"The facts are in front of you, why is it impossible?" At the same time, Qian Laoqing smiled and said, "Wang Guan, now tell me, is the texture of the sword body flat or rough?"

Wang Guanqing couldn't help but shake his head. He really couldn't answer this question. Because if the sword body was made of flat pattern steel, then the water should pass smoothly and drip directly into the basin.

But the fact is just the opposite. The clear water in the cup flowed on the sword spine, and it had reached the tip of the sword smoothly, and then fell naturally, which was in line with the law of gravity in everyone's mind. However, what surprised Wang Guan and the others was that when the clear water overflowed the tip of the sword, the water did not fall down, but a subtle spiral phenomenon occurred.

It is this spiral that condenses the clear water that should have been dripping, and there is no trace of falling for a long time. If this happens on the rough-surfaced steel blade, after all, there are patterns and gaps, then it is understandable. However, this is obviously an extremely smooth sword blade, how could it be like this?

Just when Wang Guan and others were amazed, the water droplets on the tip of the sword finally dripped into the basin under the influence of gravity. Despite this, under the sunlight, everyone can clearly see that the water marks on the sword ridge reflect bright light waves, like the scales of a carp, continuous...

The water pattern wave after wave. The process lasted for a long time. After four or five minutes, the last drop of clear water flowed out, and the sword blade returned to its original appearance, but it felt a little more shiny.

At this time, Wang Guancai couldn't help asking: "Old Qian, do you know why? The adsorption power of the Gongbu sword is so strong. It is obviously a smooth and delicate sword body, but it feels like it is a sponge, which can actually make the clear water sticky for so long."

"Actually, the Gongbu Sword is nothing." Old Qian shook his head and smiled: "What is really terrifying is Yu Yan, Chi Xiao's two famous swords."

"I can understand that fish intestines are terrifying." Wang Guan was stunned again: "Why is Chi Xiao scary?"

"Historical records show that the Chixiao sword is so cold that it is so bright that it is like frost and snow." Qian Lao reminded with a smile: "Then tell me, how did Chixiao's deficit get?"

"Ah!" Wang Guan was shocked, and suddenly felt a little horrified: "What do you mean..."

"That's what you mean."

Mr. Qian smiled, clicked until he reached the end, then stretched his finger and flicked the sword body, pointed to the texture on the sword and said: "To explain the extremely strong adsorption power of Gongbu sword, we must start with its sword-casting craftsmanship."

"As we all know, ancient Chinese weapons have a very high cultural taste and are the best representatives of economy, culture, science and technology in an era. The forged textures displayed on the sword are the most gorgeous and wonderful."

Qian Xuxu said: "In ancient China's sword forging is vast and profound, but it can be roughly divided into several major categories such as ball-beating, flowing water, and rotary welding."

"Tongdao is a very popular folding forging. The process is relatively simple, labor-saving and time-saving, and is suitable for large-scale manufacturing. However, the texture is rough, mostly like stretched mountains, and the blade steel is clearly visible, so the quality is relatively poor."

Qian Lao commented: "As for flowing water, it is relatively advanced. After repeated hammering and repeated folding and forging, the texture is very fine, and the flowing water texture stretches smoothly, just like gurgling water. There is also another texture, which is like a few ripples in the water, evenly distributed on the blade, so some people call it thumbprint."

"This craftsman sword is undoubtedly the representative of the flowing water forging technology."

While speaking, Qian Lao sighed: "And there is no doubt that it is the pinnacle of the development of flowing water lines to the extreme. If you observe carefully, you will find that the flowing water lines on the blade are closely distributed and the fineness between the textures are consistent. It can be said to be exactly the same, as if they are portrayed with precision instruments..."
