Chapter 194 Sword Forging Notes for Swords

What Hu Tu thought of was the pattern on the "Ice Sword". The pattern was recorded in Geng Jianqiu's sword-casting notes, and he had memorized the making method by heart.And he has always theoretically speculated that that method is transferable, and he can even make any pattern after learning it.

However, he originally thought that this was just an ordinary trick, which should have been passed down, but now it seems that it does not.Then this may be the most valuable record on the note.

Since this sword with a special pattern can be exchanged for the Longquan sword, then this method should also be able to exchange it.And telling them the method directly saves them the process of exploring and saves a lot of time. This alone is worth the other value attached to the Frost Sword.What's more, it is also a handwritten ancient book, and it is worth a lot of money in terms of its value.

But Zheng Liangxi shook his head before he heard what Hu Tu was going to say, and said, "Hmph, I did not misread you, you are indeed on the wrong path. You still have some skills with this sword, if you plan to trade it for it, We can still talk about it, but don’t talk about anything else.”

He has a very peculiar way of acting. Although he has a good ability to see people, his arrogance and arrogance are also deeply rooted. He is simply a hard rock, and he is still a bit smelly.

Fortunately, Zheng Liangxi's son, Master Zheng Xiao, didn't develop his habit. He said: "Don't panic, don't rush to make a decision, listen to the little brother, let's make a decision after listening." He didn't want to let this matter The matter was ruined because of the misunderstanding between the two people. Even if it really didn't work out in the end, it had to be figured out.

While talking, Zheng Liangxi suddenly took out a piece of cloth from his pocket and wiped the sword like a baby.People who are crazy about swords can't see a sword covered with dust. When he wiped the sword, he would glance at Hu Tu from time to time, with a deep dissatisfaction in his eyes, as if to say, "Sure enough, I don't know what I want. Guess, you are not a person who loves swords at all. Putting this sword in your hands is simply a waste."

Hu Tu pretended not to see Zheng Liangxi's eyes, and said to Master Zheng Xiao: "Actually, I like antiques better. I once saw the casting method of this sword in an ancient book, including the patterns on it." At that time, the eyes of the two masters Zheng had already lit up, "Because I am not a swordsmith either, I can give this method to you in exchange for the previous condition."

Little master Zheng was beaming, looking at Zheng Liangxi, although Zheng Liangxi seemed unreliable, but in this yard, his words were the most effective.Zheng Liangxi carefully polished his sword. Taking advantage of this moment, he secretly evaluated the rationality of the conditions Hu Tu said. After thinking about it for more than three minutes, he said, "It's okay to change it like this. You have to take that book. Come, let's exchange swords for books."

This is a foreseeable result. For craftsmen, the most important thing is the method, which needs to be passed on.With inheritance, you can get twice the result with half the effort, without inheritance, you can get twice the result with half the effort.

Zheng and his son have been in this industry for many years, how could they not understand these common sense things.When Zheng Liangxi said this, he also wanted to achieve his ultimate goal in the most reasonable and dignified way.

When the people around heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay, they have been here for a long time, and they have never seen anyone ask for a sword in this way.This gave them a new direction, maybe they don't have to linger here all the time, go back and look up the books, study the information of the ancient sword, maybe the effect will be better.

Both Hu Tu and Zheng Liangxi didn't expect that their exchange based on interests would attract a lot of new forces to the study of ancient swords, which was a good thing.

Seeing the expressions of Zheng's father and son, Hu Tu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought happily: "As expected, this method is indeed very valuable, so the question is, how valuable is that book?"

A method can be worth a sword, which made Hu Tu re-evaluate the weight of that notebook.His brain was spinning rapidly, filtering through the contents of the book, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any other valuable parts, but he still felt that there was value that he couldn't see hidden in this note.

Maybe it's a good choice to give this note to the father and son, but it must not be dealt with cheaply, otherwise they will take advantage of it and laugh at him as a layman, which will be ugly.

Hu Tu shook his head like a rattle, and said, "That's not okay, I can't afford it."

Zheng Liangxi was not angry because of Hu Tu's refusal, but he became more interested in that ancient book, but he didn't want to suffer any disadvantage, and asked: "Your ancient book should not be an isolated copy, I think since it was written, as long as you carefully check it , I can still find out some clues."

"No, no." Hu Tu shook his head, "Mine is definitely an orphan, because it is a handwritten sword-making note."

Zheng Liangxi immediately asked: "Who wrote it? When did you write it?"

Hu Tu replied: "The author of the note is a strange person known as the old man Shanshi, named Geng Jianqiu, who was born in the Republic of China. The note recorded what he learned from visiting the masters of swordsmithing, and his own swordsmithing skills. In my opinion, it is worth a lot.”

Zheng Liangxi stretched out two fingers, and said, "Two swords, I'll exchange your book of sword casting notes." This Zheng Liangxi, who seemed to have well-developed limbs, had no brains, and looked like he didn't care about anything, was actually shrewd. very.

"This won't work." Hu Tu felt that this was not enough, "Let's not talk about the twists and turns I encountered when I got my notebook, let's just talk about the value of the notebook itself-the calligraphy, the unique historical traces, the hidden treasures in it. Needless to say, the painstaking effort involved in the special method. If only two swords are replaced by you, then I am too sorry for that Master Geng!"

"Three swords, I made them myself. I guarantee that the design will never be the same, and you will be satisfied." Zheng Liangxi stretched out three fingers. He understands better than others that the reason why some things are not sold is actually the problem of insufficient money. Once the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be bought.

"Deal!" Hu Tu felt that the price had reached the peak, and it would be too rude to raise it up. "You wait for me here, and I will go down the mountain and bring you the notes." Then he stretched out Make a move, "Then this ice sword, should I take it back?"

Zheng Liangxi pushed Hu Tu's hand away, and said, "Let me put this sword first, and I won't lose yours. Hurry up and get your notes, let's discuss your request for the three swords, and then you can go home Waiting to go. Seriously, I still think you are not worthy of my sword."

Hu Tu touched his nose resentfully, untied the elf's rope, and walked down the mountain under the eyes of everyone envious and jealous. As for the two bottles of wine he brought earlier, he had long since forgotten.
