Chapter 203 Surprise

"Chen Ran, the inscription you sent me is Xia Zhuan, and the translation is also a word, which means my word..."

After the phone was connected, Professor Xie did not talk nonsense and directly gave Chen Ran the answer he wanted.

My word?

Chen Ran frowned and searched for the legendary magic weapons remembered in his mind. Did they carry the word Wu?

Without for him to think about it, Professor Xie's interested voice came from the other side of the phone: "Chen Ran, is this the only inscription you found? Is there anything else? This inscription is the authentic official text of the Xia Dynasty. So far, not many have been found, which is of great archaeological value..."

My thoughts were interrupted. Hearing Professor Xie's voice, I couldn't think much about it. Chen Ran quickly replied, "Mr. Xie, I saw this inscription in an antique picture. I haven't seen it before, so I'm a little curious, so I want to ask you."

"Oh, well... Then the antique picture you saw must be a bronze." Hearing Chen Ran's answer, Professor Xie was slightly disappointed, but then his tone returned to normal.

"Yes..."

Chen Ran's mind was put on the word Wu at this time, and he answered casually. Speaking of which, this inscription was really seen on a bronze ware. After all, the ancient sword is also a kind of bronze ware.

"Well, that's it..." Professor Xie had to wait for the class, so he didn't say much to Chen Ran.

Chen Ran thanked him and hung up the phone.

Putting his mobile phone aside, Chen Ran took the pen and paper, wrote a word "wu" on the paper with a pen, and then stared at the word Wu.

It seems that there is no legendary magic weapon with the word Wu...

Chen Ran frowned and thought for a long time and didn't think of a magic weapon with my words. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but then suddenly laughed at himself. What's the disappointment? Anyway, the sharpness of this dagger is not worse than those legendary magic weapons.

I!

Wait...

staring at the word Wu on the paper, Chen Ran looked at it, and his eyelids suddenly jumped. At this moment, he suddenly thought of a legend in the jade carving world...

Thinking of this legend, Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and suddenly took the dagger put aside and put it in front of him.

"If you guess correctly, this dagger should be..."

Staring at the dagger in front of him, Chen Ran took several deep breaths before slowly calming down, but his heart was still rolling like a rough sea...

At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang again.

Forced to suppress the shock in his heart, Chen Ran quickly adjusted his somewhat disordered mood and didn't answer the phone until his mood stabilized. The phone call was exactly from Wang Zhiqing.

Wang Zhiqing also asked if there were any other inscriptions that Chen Ran found. After Chen Ran answered, he finally told Chen Ran that the inscription he asked him to read was the text of the Xia Dynasty, which was translated as...

Sure enough!

"Kunwu!"

Unable to suppress the shock, Chen Ran stared at the dagger in front of him and muttered softly: "It turns out that this dagger is the legendary Kunwu cutting jade knife... The knife is one foot long, cutting jade like mud, both in shape and length are exactly the same as described in ancient Chinese..."

Chen Ran is undoubtedly familiar with Kunwu's cutting jade knife, because Kunwu's cutting jade knife is the originator of carving knives in the jade carving world. It is rumored that in ancient times, Kunwu knives were used to carve jade. Kunwu knives have appeared three times in the history of the jade carving world. The first time was in Zhou Youwang, Zhou You Wang Dazheng Xirong, Xirong presented the sword of the strong, and the cloth of the fire raccoon. His sword is long and has a red blade, and it is used to cut jade like cutting mud...

This is the first time that Kunwu knives appeared in history, and the second time was in the Qin Dynasty. It is said that He Shibi was carved from Kunwu's cutting jade knives, which are recorded in the literature, but the third time was in the Ming Dynasty.

In the jade carving world, there have been three jade carving masters. The first is Bian He or the unknown family, and the second is Lu Zigang, a Suzhou jade carving master in the Ming Dynasty. These two jade carving masters, no matter which one, are related to Kunwu cutting the jade knife. Not to mention the first one, the sculptor of He Shibi, the second Lu Zigang is also related to Kunwu cutting the jade knife.

Lu Zigang, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty, has studied art in a jade workshop in Hengtang outside Suzhou City since he was a child. He has become a master of jade carving skills. He is excellent at drawing convex sun patterns, hollowing and yin line carving. He is especially good at plane land reduction techniques, which can sometimes show artistic effects similar to shallow relief.

What tool did Lu Zigang use to carve jade so delicately? It is still an unsolved mystery. Moreover, he is very particular about jade. There is a saying that "if the jade color is not beautiful, the quality of jade is not good, and the jade nature is not good." You should know that the better the quality of jade, the higher the hardness, the more difficult it is to carve. According to Lu Zigang himself, his unique skills are all from the original fine carving knife "Wu Kun". But this "Wu Kun Dao" has never been secreted, and the skill of operating the knife is not passed on to others.

Lu Zigang did not leave his "Wu Kun Dao" or pass on his knife skills. The carving skills of "Zigang Yu" are still a unique skill and difficult to imitate.

Outsiders don't know whether Lu Zigang has Kunwu knife or not, but outsiders can guess that even if he doesn't have Kunwu knife, there must be a carving knife that can cut jade like mud like Kunwu knife, otherwise his slender internal carving skills can't be used.

What is surprise?

The development of something was unexpected. At this time, Chen Ran was undoubtedly a surprise. You should know that Kunwu's cutting jade knife is the legendary originator of carving knives in the jade carving world. As a jade sculptor, his biggest dream is undoubtedly to have a jade cutting knife like Kunwu, just like the eight-knife split wave carving method.

For the jade sculptor, the eight-blade split wave carving method is the knife method of the martial arts master in martial arts novels, and Kunwu cutting the jade knife is also the weapon used. Now it is just a jade sculptor.

Some time ago, before the jade carving competition was about to start, he saw that other people had their own set of carving tools. Chen Ran thought that he also wanted to choose the best set of tools, but he didn't expect that he hadn't picked it yet, but suddenly got the legendary Kunwu knife, the originator of the knife.

What kind of carving knife is more suitable for carving jade than Kunwu knife...

Thinking of carving jade, Chen Ran suddenly had an impulse, but there was no jade material in his home, but he suddenly remembered the jade in the trunk of the off-road vehicle that he practiced carving some time ago.

These jades are all pen practice works. The last time, they were sold once and they were not sold. Although now if he wants to sell them, someone will definitely buy them, but he is not ready to sell them. This time, he brought them back is ready to play for Chen Xiaowen and Chen Xiaomei...

Stepping out of the room, Chen Ran ran downstairs.

came to the yard, opened the trunk of the SUV, and brought out a black plastic bag. Chen Ran almost ran all the way into his room.

Take out a carved jade pendant and put it on the table. Chen Ran took Kunwu's jade knife in his hand and cut it down with a knife.

"Cangling..."

When the sound of cutting jade came, Chen Ran was dumbfounded. The jade the size of an eraser was directly cut open, and the incision was neat and smooth...

This scene is simply incredible for Chen Ran. Needless to say, the hardness of jade can even be used to cut glass. The current situation is undoubtedly like cutting glass with a kitchen knife. Imagine what will happen.

Under the shock in his heart, Chen Ran took out another Shoutao and carved it in his hand. At this moment, Chen Ran was like a naughty boy suddenly got a fun toy, playing...

I don't know how long it has passed. Chen Ran sat on the sofa, took a jade, and continued to carve with Kunwu knife in his hand, but at this time, he suddenly thought of the energy aperture absorbed by Kunwu knife just now...

The dagger in his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.

The scene of detecting Kunwu knife with energy aperture is undoubtedly similar to detecting skeleton pendants. The skeleton pendant can be absorbed, so what about Kunwu knife?

I absorbed the skeleton pendant and got a strange "dance". This kind of "dance" can make my body and strength stronger. So, what if I absorb Kunwu knife...

At this moment, the Kunwu knife in front of him seems to have infinite magic, and it is lingering in his mind...

However, at this time, he suddenly remembered a key question, that is, after the skeleton pendant was absorbed, it disappeared. Then, will Kunwu knife also disappear if it is absorbed...

This is a problem he has to consider. After all, the value of Kunwu knife goes without saying. If it is absorbed and disappears, he will lose a lot...

"Ping..."

When Chen Ran was still meditating, there was a sudden knock on the door...
