"Here, dig!"

Jinbao lived up to expectations, and indeed found something in the remote back mountain. Everyone excavated and finally found two treasure chests, which were very heavy.

When he opened the first box, Heifeng quickly finished sorting it out and reported: "6 jade pieces, 5 gold pieces, 1 hairpin, 1 rose ruby, 3 Wanli Tongbao, and 4 porcelain pieces. Among them, the jade pieces are decorations on the jade belt, with white color, pure jade, very fine carvings, beautiful and vivid shapes, and small and exquisite. Among the 5 gold pieces, 4 are red gold and weigh 91 grams."

Wen Yiming nodded with satisfaction. After Liu Datong's training, he became more and more professional and very good. He came to the second box himself, opened it and said in surprise: "Lu Wang Furnace!"

It turned out that after Zhu Yiliu's death, his son Zhu Changqing succeeded to the throne. He was acquainted with literature and curiosity, and was proficient in brush, ink, gold and stone, and called himself the master of Jingyi. Once a fire broke out in the old palace, Zhu Changqing simply invited craftsmen to cast countless large gold cakes into antique furnaces, and numbered them one by one, with a total of 360.

In order to make the antique furnace look like a real cultural relic, the craftsman wrapped the furnace in cowhide and buried it underground to make it rust naturally, trying to distort the real one. Later, Li Zicheng rebelled and the world was in chaos. Zhu Changqing fled south to take refuge in Hangzhou. The batch of antique furnaces did not have time to take it out, and the whereabouts of the legend were unknown.

In fact, this batch of things is not known, but has been stolen and dug out long ago. It is called Taotie pattern tripod in the cultural relics market, commonly known as Lu Wang Furnace. The stock is rare and very valuable. The National History Museum now collects a Taotie pattern tripod with a land pickup tool made by the Lu State in the 8th year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty. Experts speculate that it should be the 16th out of the 360 ​​Lu Wang Furnaces that year.

“There are nine here!”

Wen Yiming laughed and was very satisfied with the harvest today. He brought out all the things and suddenly knocked on the bottom of the box with his hand. Something was wrong, there should be a mezzanine.

"This is……"

The moment when the mezzanine was opened, a cold light flashed in everyone's eyes, and there was a knife that was more than three inches long and shining like autumn water.

Wen Yiming first picked up three jade tablets in the mezzanine, and started with warmth and ingenious carvings. No matter how flowers, birds, fish and insects are, they are lifelike.

"Zigang card!"

He couldn't help but exclaim: "It's definitely Zigang's card, and it's the only one who has such a skill!"

Lu Zigang is the most famous jade carving master in history. It is recorded in many literati notes. Suzhou Prefecture records: Lu Zigang, the jade-grinding record, the daffodil hairpin, the exquisite and ingenious flower stems are as thin as hairs.

Xu Wei's "Ode to the Fairy Hairpin": It has a little charm and a wonderful and beautiful style, but no fireworks and fragrance of Du Lan. Kunwu Peak is like the end of the south, and it is sad to nail Luzigang, Suzhou.

Lu Zigang was skilled in overwhelming craftsmen and famous all over the world. After hearing this, the emperor ordered him to carve a picture of hundreds of horses on the jade ring. He was not stumped, and he completed it in just a few days. He carved a high atmosphere and a large open city gate on the small jade ring. The horse was carved only three horses, one galloping in the city, one was running towards the city gate, and the other had just exposed its head from the valley. This gave people the feeling of countless horses rushing out, which was amazing. Since then, his jade carvings have become the royal family's patent.

Wen Yiming took out the largest jade plaque with the picture of the eight horses carved on it, but it was not signed. He was very curious and studied carefully. Finally, he found the word Zigang in the ears and eyes of a horse in the middle. It was really amazing!

"Then this knife won't be..."

"Kunwudao!"

The Song Dynasty Historian Li Gonglin Biography: The court obtained the jade seal, and the officials of the lower rituals discussed the different opinions from everyone. Gonglin said: The Qin seal uses blue field jade, and the jade color is green now, and the dragon, worm, bird and fish are used as text. It is written by the emperor's talisman. The jade quality is very strong. It is not Kunwu's sword, and the toad fat cannot be cured. The law is absolutely true. Li Si of Qin does not doubt what he does, and the reason is determined."

Kunwu Sword is a knife made of Kunwu Stone smelted into iron, and it is recorded in the Ten Continents of the Country. According to Fenglinzhou, during the reign of King Mu of Zhou, Xihu offered Kunwu's jade-cutting knife and the luminous cup was always full. The knife was one foot long and the cup received three liters. The knife cuts jade like cutting mud... Where the sword comes from Liuzhou.

What tools did Lu Zigang use to carve the jade artifacts so delicately? It is still an insolvent mystery. Moreover, he is very particular about jade carving, and there is a saying that jade color is not beautiful but not cured, jade quality is not cured, and jade nature is not cured.

You should know that the better the quality of jade, the higher the hardness, the greater the difficulty of carving. According to Lu Zigang himself, his unique skills are all from the original exquisitely carved knives. However, this Kunwu knife has never been secretly revealed to others, and the skills of knives are not secretly passed on to others.

Kunwu Sword has been circulated since ancient times. It is rumored that there is an island in the West Sea. There are strange stones on the island, called Kunwu Stone. This kind of stone can be used to smelify iron. The iron made of illuminates people, like water, cutting jade is like cutting soil.

Therefore, it is also called Kunwu's jade cutting knife. There have been many records in historical books. According to legend, the Heshi Bi could not make the imperial seal at first, which made Li Si's hair white. Finally, he used his subordinates' suggestions to use Kunwu's jade cutting knife to make the imperial seal the most popular.

According to legend, Lu Zigang's ancestral seal carving technique is quite famous. Once, he met a guest who took out a colorful brocade box from his arms, took out a piece of corundum from it, and wanted to carve a seal.

Lu Zigang was immediately stunned. He had tried it in the past, and the hardness of corundum was too high. When the carving knife touched it, it immediately rolled the knife. Not to mention carving words, it was extremely difficult to carve a groove on it. He had to watch the man leave.

This incident was unforgettable for him. After returning home, he looked through many ancient books and found no answers. A few years later, he accidentally found a piece of black iron in the corner of the market with mottled rust on it. You can vaguely see ancient seal script engraved on it, five inches long and one inch wide, several times heavier than ordinary iron. I quickly paid for it.

The corundum was peeled off with black iron, and they were placed in the furnace. They were refined for three days and three nights, and they were red. However, as soon as they were out of the furnace, they immediately turned into hard and black stubborn iron. After being tempered for thousands of times, they could not be cut open or rolled up, and there was nothing they could do.

I found out that there was Zhong Guqing by the West Lake, and his ancestors were skilled craftsmen who cast swords and swords for generations. Lu Zigang visited him and Zhong Guqing said: This is the ancient iron sword head left over from the ancient Kunwu Kingdom of the Xia Dynasty. It is a rare treasure, and the essence of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin hardware. Because it was buried in the past, it has gained the elegance of mountains and rivers, and now it is already spiritual.

If you are forged, you can get three iron pens, one for engraving stones, which are several times sharper than steel blades; the second for engraving gold and iron, which is like mud; the third for engraving crystal jade, which is like cutting wood with a quick knife, which is free and easy, and is actually a priceless treasure.

Zhong Guqing ignited a burning furnace, but strangely there was a teapot on the top of the furnace. I saw Zhong Guqing sitting in front of the furnace, murmuring in his mouth, as if he was chanting some spell.

After a long time of reciting, I applied the tea in the teapot on the ancient iron, put it in the furnace to refine it, and took it out and then applied it again after applying it... After repeated this more than a dozen times, the ancient iron in the furnace suddenly emitted dazzling colorful light.

Plied out the ancient iron from the furnace and put it on the anvil to break it. Suddenly, I heard a strange and crisp sound. The ancient iron had been cut into three sections, straight and in the shape of a knife.
