Chapter 18: The Sword
The sword came out of its sheath, and suddenly there was a cold light. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of weapon, put on people like Qingmingzi, is really buried!
I saw that the sword was smooth throughout, the sword body was willow leaf-shaped, the middle ridge was convex and cylindrical, and the blood groove was deep, which was definitely a killing weapon.
The surface of the sword is grayish-yellow, the structure is fine, and the surface is finely filed and polished. This kind of forging technique is now rare, and it should have been handed down from before to the present, and I don't know how many years it has endured.
What is commendable is that although it has been a hundred years, the sword body is still as tough as ever, and the blade is clear through the cold light, and it is obviously sharp to cut gold and break iron.
Unfortunately, due to the greater emphasis on practicality in that era, the sword body was unpretentious and unadorned. As a result, the collectible value is greatly reduced. In the peaceful and prosperous world, ordinary people will not pay a high price for a sharp blade at all, unless it is a soldier or a bandit.
The price is about five taels of silver, which is more reasonable.
Shopkeeper Wang quietly calculated in his heart, then stretched out his hand and slowly stretched out two fingers, and said, "Dao Chief, this sword is indeed not ordinary, and the small shop is willing to pay two taels of silver to accept it." ”
"It's only two?" Qingmingzi was obviously not satisfied with this offer, and said with a blow of his beard and glaring: "Grandma's, take a good look at the shopkeeper, this is the head of the family with a sword that has been passed down from generation to generation." ”
"Although the sword is good, there are not many people who are willing to accept it."
The shopkeeper shook his head and refused to bid more. He saw that this Qingmingzi sold his property to repay his debts, and he had no time to delay.
Sure enough, Qingmingzi was silent for a while, gritted his teeth and agreed: "According to you, two taels will be two taels, and the cash will be brought here!" In addition, give me a small sword for a few pennies. ”
Although Qingmingzi is down, he is also the master of the concept of immortality, and he still needs to have a sword to pretend.
"Please rest assured that our store never defaults. As for the ordinary iron sword, it's not worth much, so I'll give it to Dao Ye. ”
The shopkeeper put away the sword with a smile, took out the silver from the cabinet, and took out an iron sword casually, and handed it to Qingmingzi together.
Qingmingzi took his hand and felt that there was no problem with the weight, so he took the silver and left quickly, in the direction of the Xinyuan Restaurant not far from it, where the basement floor is a good place to gather people to gamble.
The shopkeeper Wang tiptoed and saw that Qingmingzi had gone away, so he ordered the man to wipe the sword clean and put it back on the shelf in the boutique area, and the price was written at five taels.
Liang Lan, who witnessed all this, sighed in his heart, sure enough, business is profiteering. This one buys and sells, and there is a difference in price. It's enough for ordinary people to live for months.
He had little interest in the sword, and the price was out of budget, and he was about to leave.
Suddenly, he sensed a burst of mana fluctuations coming from this sword, and was taken aback, this turned out to be a magic weapon!
Needless to say, the preciousness of the magic weapon is just that people who realize the true value are really rare.
For ordinary people, even if they know that this is a magic weapon, it is of little use, because there is no way to drive it. Only a cultivator or a martial arts master knows what it means to have a real magic weapon.
Legend has it that only Yang God realm cultivators, people known as living immortals, have the ability to forge magic weapons. A good magic weapon can even make up for the lack of realm and make people fight beyond the level.
Liang Lan's heart was moved.
Five taels of silver is not a small amount, but in exchange for a magic weapon, it is worth it!
Liang Lan gritted her teeth, grabbed all her belongings and walked towards the shopkeeper Wang.
***********
Qingmingzi exchanged for silver and hurried out of Ding Taixuan.
Shopkeeper Wang guessed correctly, he was going to the basement of Xinyuan Restaurant to gamble.
He walked so fast that he could almost take small steps.
Because there is still a game of cards, waiting for him to decide the winner.
Speaking of luck today, Qingmingzi is like a rainbow, killing all directions, and he has made a lot of money. But the last few sets were careless, and they lost all the games.
Not only did he spit back all the money he earned before, but he also owed the dealer silver.
But this is also normal, gambling, of course, there are backs and forths. The next round, the next game can definitely make a lot of money!
Qingmingzi has absolute confidence in this.
The hard work paid off, and sure enough, in this game, he opened five dice with a 29-point kill, second only to the rare five six-day aces.
The two people on the other side also looked like they were not small. Therefore, it is also very ferocious.
Hmph, boy, just wait and cry!
Qingmingzi has imagined the beautiful scene of turning over in a game, and he absolutely believes that he must be the one who wins this game.
Five sixes are extremely rare, and once they appear, they will double the wins and losses, and they will not be seen once in a few months. This time, Qingmingzi shook out four six and one five, twenty-nine points is already very rare, almost will not meet opponents, so it is called a must-kill card.
But what is terrible is that because he owes money, the dealer Liu Boss refused to continue to borrow money. There is no capital to bet, such a good card, how can Qingmingzi be willing!
"Boss Liu, borrow me more, I will definitely be able to pay it back!"
It's almost a kneeling plea.
But Boss Liu still shook his head and refused.
"No, no, please, Boss Liu."
Still rejected.
"I must get the money, you wait, I'll be back soon," the red-eyed Qingmingzi had already lost everything, and at this moment only the matching sword in his hand was left.
This is a token passed down from generation to generation by the head of the Immortal Concept, and if it is lost, it is a great sin to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors.
But Qingmingzi can't manage so much, and at this moment his mind is full of one thought: I want to win!
I don't know if it's because of excitement or trotting all the way, Qingmingzi, who returned to the casino, was flushed.
"Get out of the way!"
Qingmingzi rudely pushed away the gamblers who were in front of him, squeezed to the original seat, and slammed the silver on the table.
Like a wild beast, he panted heavily, and shouted vigorously, "Follow, open!" ”
The chip pool on the table has increased to an unprecedented twenty taels of silver, and almost all three players on the field have bet on all their possessions.
The huge chip pool and exciting matchups attracted a lot of onlookers.
With so many people watching, Qingqingzi is not worried about players cheating. Besides, casino dealers are not vegetarians, once they find that someone is out of the way, they will be cut off by Boss Liu, and they will become completely invalid.
Qingmingzi pressed two taels of silver, the chip pool was finally flattened, and the dealer nodded to everyone, signaling that the cards could be opened.
According to the order of the opening cards, Qingqingzi was the last, and he was not in a hurry, with a perverted hideous smile on his face, intending to give the other two players the final fatal blow.
Because, he's twenty-nine!
The player on the far left is a fat middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears and greasy ears, and his cards are the first to be turned over, and a crowd of onlookers let out a group of exclamations.
When Qingmingzi heard the reaction, he chuckled in his heart, and squinted his eyes and glanced at it, one three, four six, adding up to twenty-seven points.
Hmph, it's not too small, no wonder you are reluctant to let go, but it's a pity that you met me.
Qingzizi thought to himself.
The second player, wearing a black hat and a black coat, does not look smiling, he squints his eyes, and he doesn't even look at the fat man's cards, looking extremely confident.
The dealer gestured to him, he nodded, and the dealer gently lifted the pressed barrel with a long hooked rod. The crowd of onlookers cheered even more.
"Trump, it turned out to be an ace!"
When Qingmingzi heard someone say this, he felt his head buzz and exploded.
He fought hard and looked at the card of the man in black, his face full of disbelief, obviously unwilling to believe that the other party had played his trump card.
One six, two sixes, three sixes, four sixes, three fives..... Five...... Five Six!
It's really a rare trump card!
He counted them tremblingly, until he felt all the blood rush to his head, and finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
"It's actually a trump card, even if it's twenty-nine points, we can divide it evenly."
Because trump cards are too rare, the casino stipulates that wins and losses are doubled, and Qingmingzi calculated, and he had to put in another eight taels of silver!
He simply can't afford it!
Qingmingzi couldn't stand the blow, his face was dead, and he lay on the stool with a bang.
At this moment, the man in black who was not smiling spoke: "Dao Chief, I don't want your eight taels of silver, as long as you give me one thing." ”
"What's that?"
"I want your sword!"
