The solvent prepared by Liu Lao was colorless and tasteless. When poured into the sink, it immediately melted with clean water.

Then old Liu found a pair of rubber gloves and put them on. Then he picked up the Li Shizhen money sword and put it into the water.

"The sword needs to be soaked for about five minutes, and then depending on the situation, I'll decide whether to increase the concentration of solvent in the tank or replace the solvent specially used to remove copper rust." Liu took off his gloves as he said.

Yang Jing quickly folded the paper with the name of the raw material used to prepare the solvent, and then put it into his wallet. More than 20 different raw materials are needed to prepare this solvent. A good memory is not as good as a bad pen head. It's best to write it down.

"Xiao Yang, you should remember one thing. The rust on the bronze coins is not a bad thing. In fact, the rust on the bronze coins is the mark left by the years and the environment. Many times, our cultural relics workers identify the age and authenticity of the ancient coins by virtue of the thickness, color and firmness of the rust. However, it is precisely because of this characteristic of the ancient bronze coins At present, many people who fake ancient copper coins will try to make fake rust on the copper coins to deceive buyers. Therefore, as long as the rust on the unearthed ancient copper coins does not affect the reading of Qian Wen, generally do not remove the rust on the copper coins... "

"In addition, it also depends on the situation to remove the rust on the ancient copper money or bronze ware. You can't use those rust removal methods to remove the rust, otherwise you can easily hurt these ancient copper money and even destroy these precious ancient copper money. Just like the two copper money swords you brought today, they look very rusty on the surface, but most of them are soil rust, so rust removal We should first use the solvent to remove the soil rust. If there is a lot of copper rust after the soil rust is removed later, we need to prepare another solvent specially used to remove the copper rust... "

During the waiting time, Liu told Yang Jing a lot about the maintenance methods of ancient copper money and even bronzes, which made Yang Jing happy.

Liu Laoke is the leading bronze and bronze cultural protection expert in the Palace Museum. It will be a very rare opportunity for Yang Jing to come. Yang Jing wishes she could not record all these words said by Liu with her mobile phone.

Unfortunately, the waiting time was only five minutes. After a few paragraphs, old Liu was about to take out the money sword.

At this time, the solution in the sink has become extremely turbid, and the money sword soaked in it can't be seen.

Yang Jing first put on her rubber gloves and said, "old Liu, let me do this job. Just give me some advice."

Old Liu smiled, nodded and said, "then be careful. The hemp rope of this sword may have been rotten. Once the rust is removed, the whole sword may have fallen apart."

Yang Jing carefully put her hand into the sink and soon touched the sword.

To Yang Jing's surprise, the sword did not disintegrate as expected. At least it was still strong when touched.

"Old Liu, it seems that the sword hasn't spread. I feel it very strong."

Hearing Yang Jing's words, old Liu also showed a surprised look on his face. While wearing rubber gloves, he said, "don't move first. I'll see what's going on."

Yang Jing retracted his hand, and old Liu carefully put his hand in, and then a surprise smile appeared on his face.

"Ha ha, this sword should be made of hemp rope mixed with metal wires, otherwise it would have disintegrated long ago. Well, if my estimation is good, this sword should have a good background."

With that, old Liu gently took the sword and left the sink, and then put the sword on the desk.

"Hehe, Lao Cai, come and have a look. The hemp rope of this sword is indeed mixed with a lot of metal wires. Look at these black filaments. Aren't they the metal wires mixed in the hemp rope? Hmm? These two are..."

Old Liu's face became dignified. He took out a magnifying glass and looked closer. After a while, his face showed a surprised look, "God, there are several gold wires mixed in it! This sword is definitely not owned by ordinary people. It should be an authentic Taoist money sword!"

Hearing what Liu said, Yang Jing also saw several dark yellow filaments mixed in a small bunch of black filaments. I don't know how many years this sword has been buried underground. If ordinary metal had been oxidized and discolored, only gold, an inert metal, can be buried underground for hundreds of thousands of years without changing color. At most, it is dark.

Cai Yi also looked at it for a while, and then said, "the shape of this sword is also different from that of the money sword in the north. I remember that this shape of money sword was popular in the Yangtze River Basin for some time?"

Old Liu smiled and said, "yes, from the shape of this sword, it should be the Taoist money sword that prevailed in the south of the Yangtze River and near the middle reaches of the Yangtze River during the Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty."

The shape of this sword is really different from the money Sword Yang Jing had seen before. The money Sword Yang Jing had seen before had a grid between the handle and the body, that is, a guard, but the sword had no grid. From the handle forward, it was the body directly. The whole sword looked like a stick.

Yang Jing had never seen such a strange money sword, but when she heard what Liu said, Yang Jing immediately praised Liu.

The appraisal result given by the holy ring is that the sword was compiled by Li Shizhen in 1573, which happened to be the first year of Wanli, the second year of Emperor Wanli's accession to the throne of the Ming Dynasty.

"Eh, Lao Liu, it seems that there are words on the Tan of this sword." Cai Yi suddenly shouted, which is obviously not an ordinary discovery.

"Yo, you are good at making ancient porcelain. I didn't see it, but you saw it. Well, it seems to be an inscription, but it's covered with rust. I can't see it." after reading it for a while, old Liu also laughed and teased Cai Yi. Obviously, the bulge of this suspected character on the sword Tan excited both Liu and Cai Yi. Jian Tan is the bulge behind the hilt, which is usually used for counterweight and tassel.

It is the best thing to find inscriptions on unearthed cultural relics like this, because inscriptions usually have a great possibility to explain the origin of this cultural relic.

"Very good! This sword is a standard heaven and earth sword, and it is also woven with hemp rope mixed with gold wire. There are inscriptions on the tan. This sword is not simple! No, I have to study this sword well. It may be a big discovery." Liu Laoxian was very excited.

Yang Jingxin said that if you can really study this sword, it will definitely be a great discovery. What is the sword of medicine Saint Li Shizhen?
