Lu Xuan went downstairs and told Xiao Wu to cultivate independently, and he had to go outside to do something.

Xiao Wu nodded, and after some hammering, he finally understood the importance of the foundation. Even if Lu Xuan went upstairs just now, he gritted his teeth and insisted that he was not lazy.

Lu Xuan could see this from the painful look on his face.

After explaining, Lu Xuan walked towards the gate.

Outside, he reached out and flagged down a taxi and drove towards the old town.

The Old Town is the first batch of buildings built in the early days of the founding of Ninghai City, and it is the center of the old era, with street vendors and all kinds of shops, and is a well-known shopping center in Ninghai.

After the reform and opening up, the number of high-rise buildings in Ninghai City increased, all kinds of large supermarkets settled in, and all kinds of shops on the streets also increased. People don't have to travel so far to shop, and the flow of people in the old city naturally decreases.

Eventually, it evolved into an antique-only area. Antique shops replaced the original grocery stores, attracting many antique lovers, and they instantly became popular again, which continues to this day.

"The little brother has arrived, a total of fifty yuan." After the car arrived in the old city, the driver pulled the car over to the side of the road and said to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan took out a piece of fifty yuan from his pocket and handed it to the driver, then opened the door and walked out of the car.

He raised his eyes and looked at the shops on the street, which were densely packed with all kinds of strange objects.

Lu Xuan walked for a long time, and soon found two antique shops connected together, both of which sold weapons, such as knives, guns, clubs, swords, and other ancient weapons.

Because the sale of weapons is prohibited in Huaxia, and most of the weapons are sold as collectibles, so if you want to find a handy weapon, you can only come to the antique shop to find it.

Lu Xuan became interested at first glance and walked towards a relatively large store.

"Welcome."

As soon as Lu Xuan entered the door, there were two ceremonial beauties with slender figures wearing cheongsams and revealing a large area of slender legs, smiling at him and bending down to greet him.

Then, one of the beauties left the position, went to the side to take a disposable paper cup, poured a cup of tea with a teapot and handed it to Lu Xuan, and said in a very gentle voice: "Sir, please use tea!" ”

"Thank you." Lu Xuan took the paper cup and said politely.

He took a sip of his tea, then looked around to check the inside of the shop.

In the store, there are seven or eight shelves, on which are hung all kinds of weapons, knives, guns, sticks, spears and arrows.

Except for Lu Xuan and the boss, there were no other customers in the store. After all, antique shops are not supermarkets, they are generally sold to antique lovers, and antique lovers are a small group.

The owner of the shop is a middle-aged man of about thirty-four years old, with a slightly fat body, a small beer belly, short and neat hair, and a string of 108 sandalwood rosaries hanging around his neck.

When the shopkeeper saw Lu Xuan coming in, he immediately set his eyes on him and began to look at him randomly. Seeing that he was dressed well, he immediately walked over.

"Handsome guy, what do you want to buy? I recommend it to you. The boss came to Lu Xuan and greeted him with a smile.

Lu Xuan thought about it, and still felt that it was better to let the boss recommend it, after all, he was a professional, so he nodded and said, "I want to buy a weapon that I can take advantage of,"

"That's right." The boss nodded, then looked at Lu Xuan again from top to bottom, and finally said slowly: "Sir, I think with your temperament, there are a few treasures that are very compatible with you." ”

"Oh, take it and see." When Lu Xuan heard this, he was immediately interested.

The boss turned around, took out a sword on the shelf, handed it over, and said to Lu Xuan: "This is the Longquan Sword, which is made by the Longquan Sword Factory, a well-known domestic company, and is one of the top ten well-known swords in Huaxia. Legend has it that it was forged by Ou Yezi's great swordsman. In order to cast this sword, Ou Yezi chiseled Kaici Mountain, released the stream water in the mountain, and led it to the seven pools next to the sword-casting furnace into the Big Dipper Seven Stars Ring Row, which is named "Seven Stars". After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body, it is like climbing a high mountain and looking down at the abyss, ethereal and deep as if there is a giant dragon lying down, it is called "Dragon Abyss". Therefore, the name of this sword is called "Seven Star Longyuan", referred to as Longyuan Sword. In the Tang Dynasty, because of the avoidance of Gaozu Li Yuan, the word "Yuan" was changed to the word "Quan", which was called "Seven Star Dragon Spring", referred to as Longquan Sword. ”

"Oh, show it to me." As soon as he heard that it was the Longquan Sword, Lu Xuan immediately became interested, because he had also heard of the name of the Longquan Sword.

According to the research of archaeologists, the Longquan sword is the earliest sword that originated in the Spring and Autumn Period of Wu Guo's doctor Wu Zixu, who was loyal to the country. During the invasion of Wu by the Yue Kingdom, he was chased by the Yue soldiers to a river, and a fisherman happened to appear in a boat to save him.

Wu Zixu thanked the fisherman for taking off his sky-high sword Longquan and gifting it to the fisherman, so that he could keep his whereabouts for himself.

The fisherman said that he saved Wu Zixu because he was very loyal to the country, but he didn't expect him to believe in himself, and then committed suicide by wiping his neck with a Longquan sword to show his innocence.

Wu Zixu regretted it very much, and the Longquan Sword became famous because of it.

Some people also say that the Longquan sword is a sword forged by a certain master to Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, which can kill all evil things in the world, and said that the sword is only given to those who will be emperors in the future.

In the end, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, became the emperor with this sword and achieved a great Han dynasty.

"You see, how sharp the blade is, and the carved patterns on the body of the sword, are also very beautiful. Although it is a high-imitation Longquan sword, the collection value is still good, as long as fifteen thousand. The boss introduced again, and then handed over the sword.

Lu Xuan took it and saw that it was indeed very beautiful, and the sword body was engraved with the seven-star symbol and the flying dragon pattern. Carving flowers on the body of the sword is also a stunt of the Longquan sword. The sword workers do not use colored pens, two do not follow the pattern, only use a steel chisel to carve on the wide sword body, pour copper water after carving, after shoveling and grinding, the flying dragon pattern, vivid and natural, never disappear.

Lu Xuan picked up the sword and thought for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "This Longquan sword is good-looking, but it can't be carried every day. ”

"It's too long, let's see something else!" Lu Xuan shook his head and handed the Longquan Sword to the boss.

"Okay." The boss took back the Longquan sword, took a katana from other containers, and introduced it to Lu Xuan: "This knife is valuable." It was the Ming Dynasty that often invaded the coast of the East China Sea, but was beaten by Qi Jiguang. This is one of the trophies of the time, and it was sold for forty-five thousand, which is definitely collectible. ”

Lu Xuan knew that most of the Ming Dynasty wouldn't be islanders, so he directly shook his head and refused, "What the islanders have used, what's good, replace the next one." ”

"Okay." The boss replied softly and put the katana back. Then he turned around, walked to another cabinet, took down a box, then opened it and took out a three-edged military thorn, and said to Lu Xuan with a smile: "Then you will definitely like this military thorn, it is a weapon used by Liu Yudong, the chief soldier of Huaxia, and I finally collected it." If you want to buy it, it will be cheaper for you, only 150,000. ”

"Huh." Listening to the boss's words, Lu Xuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Lu Xuan happened to know Liu Yudong in the mouth of the boss, in fact, this person is indeed an old-timer in the special military world. However, he has no habit of using the Triangular Army Thorn at all, and this boss is purely bluffing.

"Let's change it, I don't really like the Triangular Thorn." Lu Xuan smiled and politely rejected the boss again.

"Good!" The boss said with a slightly disappointed tone, but he still obediently put the triangular army thorn back to look at it.

After a while, he took out a short blade from the shelf again, and said to Lu Xuan with confidence: "This is definitely a good knife, the style is very exquisite, the blade is very sharp, and it is very convenient to carry around." However, the price is a bit expensive, costing 58,000. ”

Seeing this short blade, Lu Xuan's eyes couldn't help but pause, this was indeed the style he wanted.

"I'll see." Lu Xuan took it and looked at it, and found that the weight of this short blade was too light, and it was not sharp, so he handed the dagger back to the boss, and said with a chuckle: "The weight is too light, I'd better find it myself." ”

"Okay." The boss replied disappointedly.

Then, Lu Xuan looked around the shelves by himself. But after walking through one shelf after another, I looked at all the knives, guns, sticks, arrows and spears in the store, but I didn't find a single weapon that I was satisfied with.

At this time, the corners of the boss's mouth on the side gradually aroused a faint sneer, and he was a little impatient.

He began to feel that Lu Xuan didn't have the money to buy it at all, maybe he was here to rub the air conditioner.

Lu Xuan looked at the entire store and didn't find anything satisfactory, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly found a black light under a coffee table.

When he took a closer look and saw that it was a rusty short blade, Lu Xuan's face was slightly surprised, and he turned his head and asked the boss behind him, "Boss, can you pick up the coffee table and take out this short blade to show me." ”

"Sir, this thing is useless, just a table leg. If you want a good sword and a good sword, there are so many on the container. The corner of the boss's mouth hooked up a sneer, and he said angrily.

He accompanied Lu Xuan for an hour, this kid didn't buy anything, and he obviously couldn't buy an air conditioner to entertain himself, and he was very unhappy.

"Don't worry, I have money." Lu Xuan could hear the taste in the other party's tone, and directly took out a golden bank card from his arms.

Unfortunately, the last time this card was handled by Chu Tianxiong, who was a gold card VIP customer. In other words, the people who can apply for this kind of card are all high-end people recognized by the bank.

As soon as the boss saw the golden bank card, he immediately quickly put on a smile on his face, then turned to the two beautiful women who welcomed him and said, "Come and help move the table away, and then take out that short blade." ”

The short blade was taken out, Lu Xuan took it in his hand and checked it, and the weight was quite heavy, and it was also the style he liked. Although it is not very sharp because of the rust, it is still good to take it back and grind it.

Suddenly!

The blue spar in Lu Xuan's body trembled slightly, and a red bloody aura overflowed. Immediately after, on the short blade, there was also a red evil qi, and the two evil qi fused together and intertwined.

Lu Xuan didn't expect that this inconspicuous dagger would resonate with the evil aura inside the blue crystal, and it was still so intense.

Lu Xuan knew that the blood-red jade pendant was the evil aura condensed by his grandfather who had killed countless people back then, but the short blade also had this effect, I'm afraid it wasn't easy!

"Shhh Lu Xuan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed this evil qi with his spiritual power, cutting off the connection with the evil qi on the dagger. He is now outside, not cultivating.

"That's it, how much is it!" Lu Xuan was secretly happy in his heart, but he still asked the boss lightly without moving.

"It's not very useful, it's just a table leg. If you will, take two thousand dollars. The boss didn't expect Lu Xuan to really take a fancy to this stepping waste, so he was stunned for a moment, and then said casually.

Lu Xuan couldn't help frowning when he heard that it was such a treasure, and the price was so low.

Seeing that he frowned and thought the price was too expensive, the boss said again: "If you really want it, you can do it for 1500." ”

The boss thought that it was a scrap of table legs anyway, and it could only be sold as scrap metal in the future. It's not bad for someone to give 15,000, at least it's much better than selling scrap iron, which is almost pure profit!

"Five thousand, I bought it." Lu Xuan didn't like to take advantage of people, knowing that this treasure was more than this price, he took out five thousand yuan from his arms and put it directly on the boss's coffee table and said lightly.

"Ahh The boss was stunned when he saw the five thousand yuan.

The boss originally planned it, if Lu Xuan felt that it was still expensive, it would be no problem to reduce him by a few hundred, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to increase the money.

Seeing that the boss was stunned, Lu Xuan grinned and said with a faint smile: "Thank you for taking such a painstaking introduction just now, and you have been shopping with me for so long, and the extra money should be invited to buy a can of good tea to moisten your throat." ”
