What attracted Yu Fei's attention was a pair of rusty ancient swords hanging on the wall. The ancient sword is very well preserved, and even the scabbard is still there. It's just that the gem that was originally set on it has fallen off. Yu Fei was curious about the style of the sword, the length of these two swords was about eighty centimeters, and it looked like an old object from the Tang Dynasty.

"What? Yu Feijun finally has something to look at? Seeing this, Saori Mitsui immediately understood, and following Yu Fei's eyes, she saw two rusty swords, which made her slightly curious. The two swords don't seem to be anything unusual other than they appear to be in pairs. Even if it's really an old object, I'm afraid it's not worth much.

The owner is a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono and stepping on clogs. At this time, it was afternoon, there were no customers in the store, and when he saw Yu Fei walking in, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him, bowed, and said, "Welcome." ”

Yu Fei nodded slightly and walked into the store. The whole antique shop is thirty or forty square meters in size, and the layout inside is in the style of medieval classical, and the items sold are mainly Chinese antiques. There are a lot of Chinese ink paintings hanging on the four walls, but Yu Fei roughly swept around, and there are no treasures.

"Excuse me, please show me those two swords." Yu Fei pointed to the two swords that he had just looked at. That is, these two swords are like old objects. Although Yu Fei's collection of antiques is not long, the amount of antiques is very large! So I also have a bit of vision.

There are no lines or inscriptions on the sword that would indicate the origin or provenance of the sword. This made Yu Fei a little disappointed. Although these two swords have very obvious Chinese characteristics, his knowledge is not enough to speculate on the origin and history of these two swords.

In the end, Yu Fei still came up with a killer weapon - guiding a stream of chaotic qi into the sword body.

Really. There is a rich chaotic aura in the sword body! What surprised Yu Fei even more was that the chaotic qi in the sword body had a strong resonance with Yu Fei's body! Although it was much worse in terms of quantity and quality, after a short struggle with the chaotic qi introduced by Yu Fei, he "surrendered" and accepted Yu Fei's drive. But Yu Fei can be sure that the breath in this sword and the Chixiao Sword are of the same type, and they should be of the same origin.

After such a long period of exploration, Yu Fei found that the effect of chaotic qi was very large, and he could not only infer the age from the degree of richness. The previous uses can now be vaguely inferred from the nature of the chaotic qi. Generally speaking, the chaotic aura on the body of the sword will naturally have some solemn aura, but there are not many swords with this kind of arrogance and majesty like the Chixiao Sword! Therefore, Yu Fei speculated that the previous owner of these two swords should also be an emperor.

This discovery made Yu Fei very pleasantly surprised. It seems that they are definitely not ordinary ancient swords!

And under the investigation of the chaotic qi, the sword body can be said to be delicate. Soon, Yu Fei found a line of Japanese characters at the hilt of the sword: しょうむてんのう, which Yu Fei recognized. This should mean Emperor Shomu or King Shomu or something. But it doesn't matter if it's the king or the emperor. Yu Fei was very disappointed, because these two swords were not old objects from the Tang Dynasty in China as he had originally imagined!

However, just as he was about to put the sword back, he suddenly thought of the collection exchange that Saori Mitsui had said.

Yes! Although I am not interested in these two swords, it does not mean that the Japanese are not interested, and maybe I can exchange them for Chinese antiques!

"How do you sell these two swords?" Yu Fei's fluent Japanese surprised Saori Mitsui again. She originally thought that Yu Fei was just dumb Japanese, and could only listen and watch, but not speak. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. He is so fluent in Japanese, with a faint Tokyo accent. If it weren't for the fact that he knew the Tao, he would have thought that he was a native of Tokyo.

"Two hundred thousand." The shopkeeper also said very simply. These two swords have been hanging in the store for some time, but there are few people who ask for them, and the price has to be lowered again and again.

"Yen?" Yu Fei asked unconsciously. As soon as the words came out, I regretted it.

Sure enough, the shopkeeper gave him a strange look, and said in his heart, what do Japanese people use if they don't use yen?

200,000 yen is less than 20,000 yuan converted into yuan. It is definitely not high to buy a pair of Shomu Emperor's swords at this price.

But when Yu Fei touched his pocket, he was embarrassed, the reason was very simple, he didn't have so many yen around him!

Seeing Yu Fei's embarrassment, Saori Mitsui took out her card very understandingly and handed it to the shopkeeper, and then whispered in Yu Fei's ear: "You owe me, I want you to repay it twice." ”

Yu Fei couldn't help but be a little moved, but immediately felt that she was terrible, this woman knew men too well, she understood her embarrassing situation without making a sound, and then took out her card to pay the bill for herself. Lying in your ear and talking, of course, is to save some face for yourself. As for the double repayment, it is not because Saori Mitsui is afraid of Yu Fei's debts, and the mere 200,000 yuan is not in Saori Mitsui's eyes at all, she just doesn't let Yu Fei have a psychological burden!

If such a woman calculates a man, she really doesn't know what kind of man can escape.

This made Yu Fei's heart very uncomfortable, if he wants to say that he is also a rich man, why do he have to borrow money from others everywhere to spend?

"Yu Feijun, why did you buy such two rusty swords?" Out of the antique shop, Saori Mitsui asked strangely.

Yu Fei didn't answer, but asked, "Saori, do you know Emperor Shengwu?" ”

"Of course, I know it." Saori Mitsui knows a lot about the history of Japan, and she smiled sweetly and said, "Emperor Shomu is the forty-fifth emperor of the Nara period of Japan, and he reigned for twenty-five years. He was also the first emperor of Japan. During his reign, there were many natural and man-made disasters, but he handled them very well and did not cause major social upheaval. In addition, because Emperor Shengmu believed in Buddhism, actively built Buddhist temples, and worked hard to learn the advanced cultural knowledge of the Tang Dynasty, there was a grand cultural scene of Tianping during his reign, and he was a great emperor. By the way, why did Yu Feijun suddenly ask about Emperor Shengwu? ”

Saori Mitsui asked strangely, as far as he knew, Yu Fei didn't know much about the history of Japan, and he wasn't interested, why did he suddenly ask about this.

Yu Fei did not answer, but raised the two swords that had been packaged in his hands.

"You're saying - these two swords are the swords of Emperor Shomu?" Saori Mitsui was extremely clever and guessed the answer to the puzzle at once.

Yu Fei slightly unwrapped the box on the hilt of the sword, revealing a very small number of words of Emperor Shengwu.

"Ahh Because of her father's relationship, she still knows a little about antiques. Among Japan's lost treasures is the Sword of Emperor Shomu. According to research, the two swords were decorated with gold and silver, one for yin and one for yang.

After his death, Empress Koko dedicated the sword to the Shosoin Collection. A few years later, the sword was taken by the empress, and its subsequent whereabouts are unknown. Some speculate that Empress Guang buried her husband's sword of love in a Buddhist temple and begged for peace, while others speculate that the sword was lost in the turmoil. There are different opinions, but the disappearance of Emperor Shomu's sword is indeed an indisputable fact!

Although there are many people who have tracked the sword of Emperor Shomu according to historical data, but in the end they have all disappeared, and even a few "Sword of Emperor Shomu" appeared two years ago, but after identification, it was finally determined that they were all fakes!

Saori Mitsui did not suspect that the sword in Yu Fei's hand was a fake, first, the shopkeeper's asking price was not high, if it was sold as the sword of Emperor Shengwu, the shopkeeper should have shouted that it would have been opened, but now the shopkeeper didn't even mention it, you must know that even if it is just a fake, this price will rise ten times and a hundred times! Second, there is an inscription on the hilt of the sword. Some people will also say, what is the strangeness of lettering, and now the antique counterfeiters who do not know how to engrave words on the body of the instrument to confuse the truth?

However, the words of Emperor Shomu are very small, and they are engraved in a position that is easily overlooked by people's eyes. If it was for the sake of counterfeiting, it would never have been possible.

Third, it's Saori Mitsui's intuition. Can't say why.

"Yu Feijun, I know that Lu Daojun is not interested in Japanese antiques, I wonder if these two swords can be transferred to me?" To Yu Fei's surprise, Saori Mitsui wanted to buy it. (To be continued......)
