Chapter 417: The First Sword in the World (2)
"Big brother, now you can tell me where these swords came from, right?"
After the middle-aged man finished counting the money, Li Yang asked with a smile, Li Yang was also very curious about the origin of these swords, among these swords, there were only two or three because they were too shabby He couldn't tell the age, and the rest were basically typical works of various periods.
Li Yang has seen the Zhongzheng sword in the Republic of China, the star bronze sword in the late Qing Dynasty, the heavy sword in the early Ming Dynasty, etc., but unfortunately these swords are not very good.
"This is what my father left behind"
"Your father?"
Li Yang was stunned for a moment, the middle-aged man nodded again, and continued: "That's right, he liked to collect ancient swords when he was alive, and these swords were usually collected by him, but my father died a few years ago, and we won't keep them at home, so let's think about selling them."
Speaking of this, the middle-aged man shook his head again: "Originally, I saw that my father was so precious and there were so many of them, I thought they could be worth millions, but I didn't expect it to be so much."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man put the eighteen cash into a bag and put it tightly to his body, and there seemed to be a little regret in his eyes.
Li Yang looked at him in surprise, but he couldn't say a word.
It was his father's inheritance, his father's favorite things, and as soon as his father died, these things turned into money in his eyes, and he even complained that these things were worthless.
What a terrible thing this is, but this kind of thing is very common in China, the old man in Beijing who has been obsessed with antiques all his life, didn't he also sell all his belongings by his family as soon as he died.
Li Yang was still a little fortunate at this time, glad that he was relatively young, and there were still a lot of years waiting for him in the future, but when he was older, Li Yang must design a way out for all his collections, and he must not let his collection end up like this ancient sword lover.
The middle-aged man left after putting the money away, and he didn't ask for the wooden box, Li Yang just took it over to load the ancient sword.
At this time, Li Yang was embarrassed to ask the shopkeeper for something to hold these ancient swords, his behavior was strictly to rob other people's business, if there was no Li Yang, the shopkeeper might be able to receive these ancient swords for 150,000 yuan.
However, Li Yang did not violate the rules of the industry, the owner of the store himself said no, and the seller took the initiative to find Li Yang, so he made this deal.
Chen Lei, Liu Gang, Niu Ling and Wang Jiajia all squatted beside Li Yang, looking at the ancient swords in front of them curiously, and Chen Lei also picked up the Zhongzheng sword that had been pulled out by the shopkeeper just now.
"This sword is quite sharp, has it been sharp?"
Chen Lei pulled the sword out of the scabbard, looked at it carefully, and asked Li Yang.
"Of course, the Zhongzheng sword is all open, and it can reduce the pain when committing suicide, have you ever seen someone commit suicide with a sword that does not open the edge?"
Li Yang smiled, he was carefully looking at a Tang sword, this Tang sword is the common shape of the ancient sword of the Tang Dynasty, half of the sword body has rust, the current market value of such an ancient sword is about six thousand to eight thousand, which is a little better in an ordinary ancient sword.
"Boss, you mean, this sword is used to kill himself?"
Chen Lei hurriedly put the sword back into the sheath and put it aside, still looking gloomy.
"Haha, I didn't say that, but the Zhongzheng sword does have this effect, just like the Japanese katana, it's a pity that there really aren't many people in history who have committed suicide with the Zhongzheng sword, so you don't have to worry about someone committing suicide with this sword"
Li Yang knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Chen Lei's appearance, shook his head with a smile, and Wang Jiajia also smiled, picked up the Zhongzheng Sword from the ground, and looked at it curiously.
Zhongzheng Sword Wang Jiajia still knows that Chiang Kai-shek will also bring the Zhongzheng Sword when he attends official occasions, and many high-ranking Kuomintang officials during the Republic of China are the same.
Wang Jiajia slowly pulled out this ancient sword, which was not very old, the sword body was still very bright, and he could even reflect his eyes.
This is also the advantage of a short historical time, after all, this sword is only a few decades old, and it is not more than a hundred years old.
"Jiajia, be careful, this sword has been sharpened."
Li Yang looked up at Wang Jiajia, and reminded him with great concern, Wang Jiajia nodded, pulled out half of the sword and stopped pulling it out, looking at the sword body carefully.
After looking at it for a while, Wang Jiajia looked at the scabbard again, the scabbard was nothing special, but the words 'Jiang Zhengzhong' on the sword handle made her very interested.
The earliest Zhongzheng sword, in fact, is still rare, at that time, if anyone got the Zhongzheng sword presented by Chiang Kai-shek, but it was a very happy and proud thing, but unfortunately it was worthless when it flooded later, and everyone had a handful of things, who would care about it in particular.
Wang Jiajia looked back at the inscription on the sword again, and the words 'success and benevolence' are also very distinctive, which means that if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent, but many officers have failed Chiang Kai-shek's high expectations, and there are not many who really have the courage to sacrifice themselves to become benevolent.
Especially in the later period, almost no one has ever sacrificed their lives.
"What is this?"
Wang Jiajia suddenly asked Li Yang, she was pointing to the sword body on the words 'success and benevolence', and Li Yang hurriedly turned her head over.
"This should be a restored trace"
Li Yang shook his head regretfully, he didn't see this point of repair just now, if he saw it, he could still fight with the middle-aged man.
These ancient swords, the most valuable is this sword with the shortest history, Zhongzheng Sword is also a relatively famous thing, this Zhongzheng Sword is still completely preserved, and it can be auctioned for almost fifty or sixty thousand yuan.
It's just that once it is repaired, it will greatly reduce his value.
Generally speaking, if the repair is not obvious and does not affect the normal viewing, the value will drop by almost half, and if the repair is serious and there is a defect that affects the whole, the value will be lower, even less than one-tenth of the original price.
The repair of this ancient sword is not serious, and even then it will drop at least half of the price, and now, the market value of this Zhongzheng sword is about 30,000.
"Repair, how can there be cultivation here, isn't there a knock on the blade?"
Wang Jiajia pulled out the sword as a whole strangely, and asked Li Yang in his mouth, Li Yang was also stopped by this question, the sword body, especially the sword body close to the sword handle, generally has few chances of being damaged, and the possibility of repair is really not very large.
"Jiajia, can you show me it?"
Li Yang stretched out his hand to Wang Jiajia, and Wang Jiajia immediately handed over the ancient sword, and was very careful when handing it over, for fear that the sword blade would scratch Li Yang.
Looking at the traces of repair, Li Yang's brows gradually furrowed, this position, this kind of restoration, is really strange, and the traces of repair are very large, there should be no such repair at all.
Li Yang's brows furrowed tightly, looking at this repair mark carefully, he felt more like he was hiding something, thinking of this, Li Yang was stunned for a moment.
Li Yang hurriedly looked up and down the body of this Zhongzheng sword, and his eyes finally fell on the four words 'Success Chengren'.
Liu Gang also moved to Li Yang's side, leaned over his head and looked carefully at the Zhongzheng sword, and suddenly said: "Brother Li, this doesn't look like it's smelted, it's more like it's glued, it's very strange."
Liu Gang shook his head as he spoke, Liu Gang didn't use a sword, but he used a dagger, knowing that the possibility of a scar in this position was very low.
"Glued on, does it really look like?"
Li Yang was slightly stunned, and then glanced at it anxiously.
This look, it really looks like a thin piece of iron that is about the same color as the sword body is glued to the sword body, the sword is an iron tool, something that sticks on without smelting, and it is perfectly glued, and there will be traces, which is why Wang Jiajia can see it at a glance.
Seeing this, Li Yang silently activated his special ability, he had been looking at these ancient swords from an appreciative angle before, and he had never used his special ability to check it at all.
As soon as the three-dimensional picture unfolded, this Zhongzheng Sword was wrapped in, and a Zhongzheng Sword suspended alone immediately appeared in the white three-dimensional space, and everything about this Zhongzheng Sword was completely exposed in front of Li Yang.
Li Yang's eyes shrank suddenly, his guess was right, this thing was really a disguise, and what was hidden was the words carved below.
Seeing these words, Li Yang's heart actually sped up a little, he didn't expect that he just wanted to collect a batch of ancient swords, and he could also pick up such a leak, after this pasted thing was removed, the value of this Zhongzheng sword was very different.
"Liu Gang, can you get the things off here?"
Li Yang glanced back at Liu Gang, his heart was also a little excited now, this leak was picked up purely by luck, Li Yang had never used a special ability before.
"I'll try, it should be fine"
Liu Gang thought for a moment, finally nodded, and took out a very sharp knife from his body.
"Liu Gang, be careful, don't hurt the sword"
Li Yang hurriedly reminded again, this sword is not an ordinary Zhongzheng sword now, if it really hurts Li Yang, he will definitely feel distressed.
"Brother Li, aren't you worried about me doing things?"
Liu Gang turned around and smiled, Li Yang thought about it, and laughed, Liu Gang is really reassuring to do things, at least Li Yang never found out when Liu Gang made a mistake.
The Zhongzheng Sword was handed over to Liu Gang, and Li Yang used his special ability to wrap all the ancient swords in front of him, and the thirty-four ancient swords were immediately displayed under the three-dimensional picture.
The next moment, Li Yang's pupils suddenly tightened, and his heart shook as if he had been struck, and he squatted there stupidly with his eyes in a daze.
