This undersized Embroidered Spring Knife is a sacrificial knife to heaven and has been enshrined in the Nanming Palace.
After the cursed water disaster, it has been kept by the Chen family as a treasured sword that hides secrets. Back then, Chen Juncai partnered with Wen Yuanshan in business and purchased a large amount of raw jadeite from Pagan Lao Sangji.
On the way back to China, he was intercepted and killed by Zhu Yongbang, and the knife returned to the hands of the descendants of the Nanming royal family.
However, the scabbard that was said to contain Nanming's treasure house was brought back to the country by Wen Yuanshan and kept privately.
Therefore, the knife is always separated from the scabbard.
Ye Qing got this knife from the bounty hunter Big Dog.
Because Wen Yuanshan and Ye Qing, the master and disciples, both knew that the location of Nanming back then was the current Kokang District.
Even if the treasure map is found, it is absolutely impossible to go to Kokang District to hunt for treasures and then transport the Nanming treasures back to the country.
Therefore, Wen Yuanshan never took out the scabbard.
Ye Qing has always regarded this Xiuchun knife as a fighting knife, and took it with him to fight in northern Myanmar, killing countless people.
Although the blade of this knife had some cracks the size of millet grains, which increased its sharpness, there was no abnormality.
However, Wang Xue told him today that the steel surface was cracked.
The question is, how can the steel surface crack?
Ye Qing took the knife over and took a closer look. The blade, which was originally a puddle of clear water, actually had countless fine cracks.
Just like the emperor cracks in the original jade stone, every gap is connected to form a line, and eventually evolves into a spider web.
If such cracks are found in the original jade stone, even if the imperial green is cut out, the stone will be useless.
As for finding such cracks on a combat knife, it means that the knife has become scrap metal.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What a pity."
Song Youqing said suspiciously: "When I used it to split people's heads just now, there was nothing unusual!"
Ye Qing also became suspicious and carefully observed the cracked blade surface again. If the cracks were regarded as steel lines, it would look very nice.
But this is a fighting knife, and if it breaks in the middle of a fight, that's a lot of fun.
However, his pupils suddenly shrank. Even if the lines cracked from the inside, the cracks couldn't be black.
"The steel surface is really cracked."
Song Youqing was surprised. A crack on the steel surface and a crack on the blade were definitely two different things.
However, if the blade is not cracked, how can the steel surface be cracked?
Ye Qing took a Damascus lancet, inserted the sharp tip into the crack, and gently pried it away. The small steel piece separated from the blade, but the background inside was pitch black.
The three of them were all stunned. This layer of steel seemed to be plated.
Was there such a weird sword-smelting technology in ancient times?
He increased the speed of prying, and in ten minutes, he completely peeled off the bright steel skin on one side of the blade, revealing the blade with strange patterns inside.
The blade is dark, but the patterns on it are carved. It is a black swimming dragon with majestic horns, fine scales, sharp claws, and a sinuous body that flies in the air.
Song Youqing said in shock: "I understand, the outer steel shell of the blade is actually the scabbard hiding the dark blade.
Because of the tight wrapping and the sharp edge, everyone who saw the knife mistakenly thought that this was what the knife should be.
You keep fighting with it, especially when it collides with a dog-leg knife. These fine chips make the steel-cased blade loose.
The shock wave of the thermobaric grenade became the last straw that crushed the steel shell. "
Her expression became excited. Even though she is a military attache who has experienced many battles, she is still a woman and is born with a heart of gossip: "Quickly pry open the other side and see what is carved on the other side? "
Ye Qing followed the good example and quickly started to move.
The original calmness and calmness was because he knew that hunting for treasure in the Kokang District was originally an impossible task.
Even if you find the treasure, can you transport it back to your country?
Those descendants of Nanming, drug lords, will not fight for their lives with you.
Therefore, he deliberately did not look for it.
But now, the secret has been exposed inadvertently.
The secret is in the scabbard, and the rumors are absolutely correct.
But this Xiuchun knife has two scabbards.
One is just an ordinary scabbard. Even if it is inlaid with gold and jade and luxuriously decorated, it is only a little more precious.
Only by opening this steel shell can we know what the secret is.
Therefore, this sentence has been misleading the descendants of the Nanming royal family and the Chen family.
Even after the knife fell into Zhu Yongbang's hands, he didn't take it seriously.
In the end, for some unknown reason, the knife returned to Chen Juncai's hands and was delivered to him by Big Dog.
Ten minutes later, the steel shell on this side was also pried open, revealing the pitch-black blade, but what was carved on this side was a landscape painting.
Song Youqing looked up at Ye Qing: "How can it be a landscape?"
Ye Qing said strangely: "It's not mountains and rivers, it should be something else."
"Shouldn't it be a phoenix?" Song Youqing asked suspiciously: "When I was visiting Liulichang, I saw a lot of ancient swords, with dragons and phoenixes carved on one side. They have a beautiful meaning of dragons and phoenixes presenting auspiciousness, and they can be placed at home. Town house.”
Wang Xueming's eyes were looking forward to it. She knew that the secret that the Zhu family and Chen family had been searching for for generations was found in this landscape painting. She smiled sweetly and said:
"My aunt is talking about the sword used by ordinary people to control the house, but this sword is the sacrificial sword of the Nanming royal family. It was worn by the emperor when he offered sacrifices to heaven and earth and ancestors.
The emperor is the dragon, and the dragon naturally protects the country. Therefore, it is only reasonable that this sacrificial knife is engraved with a swimming dragon on one side and a map of mountains and rivers on the other. "
Ye Qing glanced at Wang Xue and said to himself, I didn't expect you, a girl with a loyal face, to deceive people without blinking an eye.
However, this explanation was quite reasonable, and there was no need to make up lies to deceive Song Youqing. He changed the topic and said, "I don't know how sharp this sacrificial knife is."
Song Youqing was worried that he was trying the Damascus lancet, so he quickly took out an empty magazine and put it on the desk.
Ye Qing took a look at the blade. Not only was the blade black, but the blade was also black. He swung the knife lightly, and with a click, the magazine split into two. He was surprised and said, "This knife is so sharp."
No one can answer this question. This kind of forging process was a secret among secrets even back then.
Moreover, the Xiuchundao is not the sword of Jin Yiwei, but a sword awarded by the royal family. If the official is not more than the third rank, and there is no major meritorious service, Xiuchundao will not be given at all.
Song Youqing pulled out a piece of hair and waved it up.
The long black hair was fluttering in the air. Ye Qing slashed it out with a knife, splitting the long hair into two.
The three of them didn't know what the Jiangshan Youlong Dao was made of, but they knew that the knife was strong enough and sharp enough to allow Ye Qing to kill people without restraint.
