The shopkeeper whispered, "This sword was acquired by my grandfather by accident from a tomb robber. After that, he smiled bitterly: "It cost a lot of money at the time, but after trying it several times, I found that this blade looks sharp but is actually very blunt, but the texture is very hard, and it's okay to chop wood with it!" I really wonder what the person who forged this sword thought? Alas! ”

"Chopping wood?" Xia Chen raised his eyebrows.

The shopkeeper sighed: "Yes, although I don't want to believe it, I have to admit that this is a waste sword, because I have shown it to the most famous swordsman of our Great Cloud Kingdom today, and he said that this is just a wood-splitting knife with a special shape." ”

"The most famous swordsman in the Great Cloud Country? Who is it? "Chopper! Xia Chen was very reluctant to accept this statement, and blurted out.

"You don't even know this, it's the champion of the last martial arts, Wei Han."

"Poof! cough cough ...... "Xia Chen really choked a lot, it's too, practicing swords is not easier than studying, no matter how high the talent is, you have to work hard, Wei Han is only fifteen or sixteen years old."

The shopkeeper suddenly patted his head: "I remember wrong, it's not that Wei Han, it's Wei Han's eldest brother Wei Feng, he is the champion of the martial arts four years ago, and the two of them came together before, so I confused it." ”

Xia Chen rolled his eyelids: "Then the person who said that this sword is a wood-splitting knife is Wei Han, right?" %”

The shopkeeper laughed dryly: "yes, uh...... How do you know? ”

Xia Chen pulled the corners of his mouth: "Because I happen to know him." ”

The shopkeeper said quite understandingly: "No wonder, but Wei Feng also said that this sword is not very good at the time." There is almost no swordsmanship suitable for it, and how can such a curved blade hurt people unless it can be slashed at the neck? ”

When Xia Chen heard this, he felt that Wei Feng's words made some sense. If you talk about the use of picking, stabbing that kind of move, this sword is obviously not dexterous enough, but it can be replaced with sweeping, scratching and the like, because one side of the blade is narrow and blunt, and the other side is concave inward. But when it's a long knife, it's too light and thin, and the concave blade is like a knife that is worn out strictly. It's so hard to hurt someone.

She said regretfully: "If you look at the craftsmanship alone, it is still quite exquisite, and it is not bad for the shopkeeper to collect as accessories." ”

The shopkeeper said: "I'm not a martial arts practitioner. I'm not interested in collecting weapons, not to mention such a strange-looking but useless sword, which is used as an ornament and is laughed at, I hope to sell it for less money. "People who do this kind of business. Usually after learning that something that is considered a treasure in your hand is actually of little value. will be in a hurry to make a move.

Xia Chen smiled: "How much does the shopkeeper plan to sell?" ”

The shopkeeper said casually: "I will be content if I can sell ten taels or eight taels." ”

Xia Chen said: "I think the person who forged the sword is very creative, the style of this sword is very interesting, if the shopkeeper is willing to sell five taels of silver, I want to buy it back as a pendant." ”

When the shopkeeper heard that someone wanted to buy it, especially Xia Chen, who was still quite discerning, he hesitated. "Do you really want to buy it? You're not kidding me, are you? ”

Xia Chen's eyes swept to a painting on the wall: "This painting is really good." Yes! If the shopkeeper doesn't want to sell it, forget it, I'll say it casually. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Five taels is five taels, I haven't opened it today." The picture is auspicious. By the way, this young man, you can see if there is anything else in this room that interests you. I'll give you a discount. ”

Xia Chen said: "I don't have much silver taels on me today, and I still have something to do, I'll come over and appreciate it slowly another day when I'm free." ”

The shopkeeper had already put the sword back in the box and tied it with a rope: "Okay, the little boy will come and walk around when he is free, I still have a few pieces of stock at home, and I will take it to the store and invite the little boy to enjoy it." ”

Xia Chen smiled: "Okay." "I thought that this shopkeeper was really good at business, and I couldn't dump all the inventory at the bottom of the box to her.

When I opened the money bag, there were only two ingots of silver and three taels of silver and a few broken silver, which were the leftovers of the ten taels of silver that my grandmother gave her before, and she had always carried it with her.

The shopkeeper took the silver and looked at the money box: "Little boy, I don't have enough money to find, is it good to find your copper coins?" ”

One or two pieces of silver are exchanged for copper coins, which is a lot, and Xia Chen doesn't want to add a burden. "Then don't look for it, I'll pick a little thing."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay." After that, he pointed to a few ornaments on the counter: "These little boys can pick at will, and some of them are more than one or two pieces of silver." ”

Xia Chenruo said with a smile: "What do I want these jewelry for, so let's sell me the coins just now, I prefer to collect ancient coins." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Okay." "I finally met someone who likes to collect strange things, and he has met this kind of person, who often doesn't care whether they lose money or make money when they buy something, and they don't care what the value of the thing itself is, they just think it's interesting and buy. Xia Chen is a rich and willful rich kid in his eyes, and to put it bluntly, he is wronged.

Xia Chen has other ideas, she is a person who has practiced martial arts, and she usually studies ancient weapons, she thinks that such a weapon with a strange shape and special material is not something that can be done in a day or two in this era, or even more ancient times, it will not be as the shopkeeper said, just to look good when chopping wood, right?

And if this half-moon coin is really made of the same material as her ring, it is also a very important discovery for her, and even if it is not, it is not a bad thing to collect a few ancient coins.

Leaving the antique shop with two boxes, Xia Chen went straight to the Cen Mansion, she couldn't take these things back to the academy.

Thinking that the shopkeeper had been sending her outside the door, and very enthusiastically inviting her to come to the store to see his collection another day, Xia Chen couldn't help but laugh secretly. But she knew that she would still go, who made her have been dealing with antiques for many years and had a deep affection.

Remembering that the shopkeeper had mentioned tomb robbers, Xia Chen muttered secretly, this industry seems to have a long history, but in ancient times when he believed in the theory of gods and ghosts and regarded grave digging as a very immoral thing, he was afraid that people who were not extremely vicious would not do such a thing.

I don't know if that guy has robbed the tomb again during this time, and I really miss the feeling that is more exciting than buying a lot of lottery tickets and waiting for the lottery, although it is often empty.

The doorman of Cen Mansion invited her into the courtyard very politely this time: "Gongzi has a guest now, Gongzi Xia, do you want to think of the garden or the study for a while." ”

"I'll go for a walk in the garden, you don't have to worry about me, go get busy."

"Well, if you need anything to tell the maid over there."

Xia Chen went directly to the gazebo in the garden, she took out the half-moon-shaped coin from the box, then untied the ring around her neck, put it in one place and carefully compared, and found that it really looked like a material.

She hurriedly went to a sunny place and looked carefully, and even the shining luster was the same, like gold but lighter than gold, like silver but brighter than silver. When she saw that the side of the coin was carved with the same pattern as the one on the ring, only smaller, she couldn't believe her eyes.

"Brother Chen, I just sent off the visitor, I heard that you are here...... What are you looking at? (To be continued......)
