Chapter 125: Shang Fang's Sword

Chapter 125 Shang Fang Sword

When Li Mobai heard this, he said in his heart that this place is really amazing, there are really everything, it can be a small exhibition.

When the master put the red cloth package on the table, after the master opened the red cloth bag, he found that it was 4 swords of different lengths, the long one was about 3 feet, and the short one was about 1 foot or more, and each sword had a scabbard, which looked quite gorgeous, faintly revealing a sense of majesty.

Li Mobai's interest in swords is average, although he is not soft when fighting, but at that time, the main weapon in the fight was bricks, and the standard knives were really not used in actual combat, and the old man didn't care about the collection of weapons, so naturally he didn't teach much, but Li Mobai still knew the basic common sense.

Picking up the shortest one, I took a look at it, and found that the head of the sword was inlaid with two rubies, with a hole in it, and the sword stem was about three or four inches, just enough to hold in my hand.

The sword was drawn out of the sheath, the cold light was dazzling, the voice was crisp, there was not the slightest trace of rust, and it was obvious that the owner often took care of it.

Take a closer look, the sword grid is engraved with the word "Longquan", looking at this sword, Li Mobai knows that this is a Longquan sword of the Qing Dynasty, which is more than beautiful, not practical enough, it should be a decorative sword, but it is better preserved.

Then he picked up the longest sword, which was about three feet long, and the hilt was golden yellow, apparently cast from refined copper and gold, and the shape was majestic and solemn. Holding the sheath in one hand and the hilt of the sword in the other, with a slight force, the three-foot long sword revealed its true face, and the shiny blade was a little dazzling, although Li Mobai had not taken a closer look, he still secretly praised a good sword in his heart.

Holding this sword, I can't help but have a sense of justice that I am not alone, and I feel the majesty of this sword, Li Mobai can't help but wonder in his heart, how can this thing still affect people's mood, take a closer look, and find that the sword grid is engraved with the word "Shang Fang" in the seal body, and the sword body is engraved with a soaring dragon on one side, and a phoenix with wings on the other, supplemented by the decoration of the Big Dipper.

Seeing this, the shock in Li Mobai's heart was incomparable, this turned out to be the Shang Fang sword cast by the legendary Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, and he forcibly endured the surprise in his heart and did not exclaim.

Shaking his head, he said, "The sword is a good sword, but it's a pity that there is no clear inheritance." ”

Reluctantly put down this sword, picked up the other two and looked at them, and found that these two swords were obviously much worse than the feeling just now, although they were also good swords, but they lacked that sense of majesty.

"These four swords are all good, and they have some research value, but they are all from the Qing Dynasty, and there is little significance in collecting them." It has become a habit for Li Mobai to trample his conscience under his feet, and he opened his mouth to talk nonsense.

"These swords have been well preserved, and they are considered heirlooms of our family, I wonder if Expert Li can tell me the origin of these swords?" There was no disappointment on the master's face, but he asked Li Mobai's opinion.

"These swords are all things in the early Qing Dynasty, this short sword is a Longquan sword, which should be a tool for bribing important ministers, this long sword should be a saber for military generals, and the other two are swords for ordinary generals, which are not famous swords." Li Mobai did not say the origin of the Shang Fang sword.

"Our family has always had the habit of practicing martial arts, but now that the sword has been eliminated and has become an ornament, it is not used to practice martial arts, if there is research and collection value, is Expert Li willing to accept it?" The man asked after a moment's thought.

"The sword is good, but the research value is not high, but I'm afraid the price won't satisfy you." Li Mobai knew that the owner of this house knew that this was an ancient sword, so he didn't offer a price directly, but wanted to find out.

"As long as the research of Expert Li is valuable, the price is negotiable, and Expert Li thinks it is worth much." The man asked, glancing at the four swords in front of him.

"The combined value of these swords does not exceed 100,000, and with the research value, it can be worth 200,000, and I have no interest in researching any more." Li Mobai didn't say nonsense this time, although Shang Fang's sword is precious, it is just a sword after all.

When the man heard this, he secretly said that I thought it would be the highest if it was worth 100,000, but I didn't expect it to be worth 200,000, and I held back the surprise in my heart, "Since Expert Li thinks it's worth 200,000, it's worth 200,000, we don't know much about these things, just according to what Expert Li said, these swords have been given to Expert Li." ”

Seeing that the master agreed, he asked the leopard to pay, and walked to the residence with these swords, Jiang Yunpeng originally wanted to get started, but because Li Mobai was talking about the deal, he didn't get started, and when he saw that Li Mobai bought it, he reached out and took the short sword and looked at it while walking, "Mobai, these swords look good, what are the words on them?" It's still early, why aren't you going around? ”

"Longquan, that is, Longquan Sword." Li Mobai smiled and said, "I can't watch it again today, the cash I brought when I came has already been spent." ”

"Haha, Mo Bai, I feel like the money is like paper in your hands, and you have spent all the cash you brought in the past two days?" Jiang Yunpeng heard that Li Mobai's cash had been spent, and laughed.

Back at his residence, Li Mobai picked up the 'Shang Fang' sword again and looked at it, "Mobai, what's so particular about this sword, I think you bought the other three mainly for this sword, right?" Jiang Yunpeng looked at Li Mobai pondering the sword in his hand again.

"I can't hide it from Brother Yunpeng at all, this is a good sword, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure that sharpens iron like clay."

"Really? If it's really sharpened like clay, that's amazing! Jiang Yunpeng was surprised.

"Look at what pattern is on this, and then look at these two seal characters, this is Shang Fang's sword." Li Mo pointed to the words and patterns engraved on the sword grid.

"Shang Fang Sword, isn't it, isn't that something that only exists in novels and dramas, is there really one?" Jiang Yunpeng heard that it was Shang Fang's sword, and his voice couldn't help but raise a few degrees.

"Of course there is a Shang Fang sword, and it has been there since the Han Dynasty, and there is also a special official position of Shang Fang Ling." Li Mobai was in a good mood and didn't feel bored at all.

Although the Shang Fang sword was very widespread in the Ming Dynasty, almost all the governors and border generals had the Shang Fang sword, but this Shang Fang sword should be cast by Zhu Yuanzhang, but it has a high symbolic meaning.

Even if you don't usually pay attention to the collection of swords, you can still be happy to encounter this thing.

"Then which dynasty is this Shang Fang sword from?" Jiang Yunpeng had to believe it, so he asked about the origin of this sword again.

"According to the style and ornamentation of this sword, it should be cast by Zhu Yuanzhang during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know why it fell here, and there is no relevant record in the history books."

"Uh, Mo Bai, then you didn't pick up a big leak, the 200,000 flowers are too worthwhile!" Jiang Yunpeng said.

"This thing itself is actually worthless, but because he is Shang Fang's sword, it has value, and the price I give is fair and reasonable, anyway, I won't sell these things, so I can't say that it doesn't leak or don't leak." Li Mobai has had some transactions in the past few days out of conscience, but he has no choice but to find some excuses for himself in order to have peace of mind.

"Shang Fang's sword, it doesn't look any different." Jiang Yunpeng looked at the sword, looking up and down, left, left and right, as if to find out the difference.

"The difference between Shang Fang's sword is its symbolism, not the sword itself." Li Mobai explained, "Since Zhu Yun of the Han Dynasty wrote to Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty that the emperor was willing to give Shang Fang a sword to cut off the horse, and cut off the head of Zhang Yu, a minister, and opened the sword of Shang Fang, the sword of Shang Fang evolved from the emperor's special sword to a symbol of killing and destroying people, and it has become the highest symbol of power in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"It seems that Shang Fang's sword is really above ten thousand people under one person." Jiang Yunpeng said with emotion when he heard this.

"That's not it, in the Ming Dynasty, Shang Fang's sword was worthless, for example, Yuan Chenghuan used Shang Fang's sword to kill Mao Wenlong, and Mao Wenlong is also a first-class general who holds Shang Fang's sword." Li Mobai smiled, "This is also a product of the imperfect laws of feudal society, I believe that Yuan Chenghuan is not full of gold, and Mao Wenlong did not rebel, so there was a foolish minister who killed a capable minister." ”

"Hey, Mo Bai, if we don't go around again, maybe there are still interesting things, today I actually saw the legendary Shang Fang Sword, although I am with you, just like your follower, but it is worth it." Jiang Yunpeng saw that it was still early, so he said bewildermently.

"I don't have any money, and I can't buy good things when I encounter them, so it's better to wait for Dongzi to come back and see them, just drink two cups in the evening, and the burning knives here are quite strong." Li Mobai didn't want to go out again, although he struck while the iron was hot, but he couldn't buy it when he saw that the good things were even more depressing.

"Cheng, drink two glasses in the evening, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time, I knew I would have gone to you early." Jiang Yunpeng sighed, and slapped Li Mobai quite tactfully, but it was sincere, without the slightest hint of falsification.

Let the host make a few special dishes, such as cold salad three fresh, sauerkraut pork stewed vermicelli, wide noodles and so on, but I want to try a local characteristic dog broth, but the fire is too strong, this place can not put out the fire.

Drinking roasted knives and eating farmhouse food, it has a unique style.

was chatting happily, Gao Qiang came over, and when he saw Li Mobai drinking with others, he said a little timidly, "Teacher Li, the fourth grandfather said that he wanted to see you at night, and he asked you if you had time at night?" ”

Li Mobai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, what did this old man have to do with himself, could it be that he also had something to show him, but it was no longer a pickle jar in the Republic of China.

After thinking about it, he said, "Gao Qiang, you wait for a while, and we will go over together in a while." ”
