Chapter 83: The Sword and the Box
Yue Lao Liu said that the sword would have a ghost shadow and move on its own, according to superstitious sayings, that is, the sword was stained with evil and was not clean.
However, it was Yue Lao Liu who didn't understand science, and Xu Ran knew what the reason was when he heard his description.
The reason for this situation is that the two strange stones embedded in the sword will fluctuate at night when the temperature reaches a critical state, and the energy is out of balance.
In addition, when the light is projected into the stone, the energy contained in it will fluctuate more frequently, and a projection phenomenon will appear.
This is similar to the situation that Xu Ran saw when he took the stone and put it in the sunlight to see it up close, and he would be brought into the immersive energy wave projection.
And this magical energy, its properties are very strange and complex.
Xu Ran once tried to put it in the laboratory and use experimental tools and instruments to detect it, but found that no energy fluctuations could be detected with professional instruments, but he could clearly feel the energy fluctuations contained in it through the energy resonance reaction generated by the mysterious metal block and the naked eye.
In other words, the energy-generating elements in this stone cannot be detected with instruments.
The characteristics it exhibits are completely opposite to the strange stones in the fragmented space, and it is the repulsion of the two different attribute energies, one positive and one negative, that makes the fragmented blue star world have a certain wonderful connection with the earth.
Yue Lao Liu, who is also an honest and honest peasant uncle, told Xu Ran everything about the occasional abnormalities of this sword.
In fact, when Xu Ran saw the red sandalwood sword box, he planned that no matter whether the sword was real or fake, the red sandalwood box must be taken back.
And now looking at this sword, although it is impossible to determine who used the ritual sword, but from the casting process and the characteristics of the times, Xu Ran can determine that it was from the end of the Song Dynasty.
It doesn't matter if he is knocked out, anyway, what Xu Ran wants most is those two stones and the red sandalwood box.
I thought it would take a lot of money to get it, but I heard Yue Lao Liu say that it was a ghost shadow sword, which was not clean, and this invisible self-defilement gave Xu Ran a favorable excuse.
So Xu Ran played the true character of a businessman and said: "Uncle Yue, since this is a ghost shadow sword, which is not very lucky, then for superstitious collectors, no one wants to collect this kind of thing, even if you take it to the experts for appraisal, if when they learn the truth, this sword will not be able to give you a good estimate, and for rich people who cherish their lives, no one is willing to buy an evil sword that will hurt people and go back to collect it......"
Yue Lao Liu heard this, just nodded, his expression was quite entangled, if this little boss didn't want this sword, then tomorrow's banquet would not be able to be grandiose, it would be too shabby to make the dolls resentful of them, and it would make the in-laws look down on their old Yue family even more.
Thinking about it like this, Yue Lao Liu felt very uncomfortable, so he tried to ask: "Little boss, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Xu Ran said: "Regardless of the authenticity of this sword, but I am not a very superstitious person, I will give you a maximum of 50,000, but the sword box is made of red sandalwood, but it is a very exquisite old thing, according to the current market price of small leaf red sandalwood, this volume is about 40,000, so after all the calculations, I will give you a maximum of 100,000, what do you think?"
"How much is this box going to be worth?"
Yue Lao Liu was still very surprised when he heard Xu Ran say that the red sandalwood sword box that he didn't attach too much importance to could be sold for about the same price as the ancient sword.
Xu Ran nodded and said: "That's right, now the market price of Xiaoye red sandalwood is still relatively high, good red sandalwood is based on grams to calculate the price, I won't fool you in this regard, you can also consult and check the market, if the price of the box is not suitable, then even the sword will be taken away, I want to collect it is also a piece, I want the box, that unlucky evil sword can only be regarded as a foil, you should understand!"
Yue Lao Liu suddenly fell into a state of entanglement again, he had ignored the value of the box before, and now when he heard this, he really wanted to check the price of red sandalwood.
Aunt Qiao saw that Yue Lao Liu hesitated, so she said: "Yue Lao Liu, Xiao Ran is still a very kind person, I think the price he paid is very appropriate, if he doesn't say that the sword box will be so expensive, you probably don't know, it's certain to get someone else's cheat, why are you hesitating?"
"That's just as well!"
After saying this, Yue Lao Liu also felt that this was the truth, if people didn't mention the sword box to him, he would really keep it in the dark, thinking about it, this young man was quite kind.
So, Yue Lao Liu made up his mind and said: "Then 100,000, but can you give a few pieces of furniture here cheaper, little boss?"
Hearing this, Xu Ran smiled and said: "Uncle, let's one yard to one yard, the furniture I sell regardless of quality, as well as appearance, you have seen it with your own eyes, these furniture are very suitable for rural home decoration, after the decoration is absolutely beautiful, when you invite the whole village to visit, there is absolutely nothing bad to say, and this is a very face-saving thing."
If it weren't for Aunt Qiao's face, I wouldn't have been able to help you get the furniture back in half a day for your family's banquet, what is the cost of this, you should also have a number in your heart, you can't ask me to give you the furniture cheaply just because I received your ancient sword, it's not how to sell and buy!"
I wanted to be greedy for this little bargain, but when someone said that, Yue Lao Liu blushed a little and said, "Then how much does it cost for all the furniture department stores you have here?"
Xu Ran said: "All the complete sets here can decorate a small farmhouse, basically all of them are brand new, not to mention the quality and appearance, and the price is about one or two percent cheaper than the latest model in the furniture market, you want to want them all, this full set is a total of 33,000, give you a discount to remove 3,000, how about 30,000?"
When Aunt Qiao heard this price, she was also a little moved: "Xiao Ran, the furniture of my family's newly built small building is too old, and it is not worthy of the new house, can you get me a set too?"
Aunt Qiao's family built a small second floor of a farmhouse three months ago, which is very magnificent, she didn't know how many times she mentioned this to Xu Ran, Xu Ran naturally knew, and couldn't help laughing: "Aunt Qiao, if you also want a set, wait a few more days, I will move in a few days, and when I finish it over there, I will get it for you?"
Aunt Qiao was a little surprised: "How long will it take?"
"It's about a week or so, it's not easy to get this set now, and this is also what you said in a hurry, auntie, so I managed to get it!"
"That's okay, remember to keep it for your aunt if you get it!"
Yue Lao Liu listened to these words next to him, and saw that the aunt of the Qiao family also wanted it, he knew that this aunt of the Qiao family was a thief and a shrewd woman, and he also calculated in his own heart, this price is indeed very affordable, if you want to go to the furniture market to buy it, this brand new set will not be able to take it without forty or fifty thousand.
Immediately, Yue Lao Liu no longer hesitated, and immediately said: "Little boss, then I will ask for all the 30,000 yuan for this set of furniture and department stores, and remove it from the money of the ancient sword, right?"
"Okay, then Uncle Yue, you can move it to your own car first, and I'll go to the ATM in front to get cash for you!"
Xu Ran put away the ancient sword, and then went to the bank.
When he took the cash and returned to the door of the warehouse, he saw that the uncle was really a Mali man, and in just a while, he and Aunt Qiao had already filled the small truck.
Xu Ran took 70,000 yuan in cash to Uncle Yue, and when he was counting the money, he said to Aunt Qiao, who was helping on the side: "Auntie, what is the recent situation of the Qin family aunt who sold my old stove last time?"
After Aunt Qiao heard this, she sighed: "That Aunt of the Qin family is really a poor person!"
Xu Ran was curious: "What's wrong?"
