00173 Demon King Muramasa
The katana of the Japanese # Ben is a popular saying, in fact, it is the knife of the early days of the Japanese # Ben, and as for the development of the sword after the Meiji Restoration, it became the later Japanese saber.
This katana in front of Taro Muratani and Shimono Taro Taro is the demon king Muramasa.
The blade is more than 70 centimeters long. The inscription of the sword is "Muramasa", which was made by the sword workers Seshu Muramasa at the end of the Muromachi period, and its cutting ability is outstanding, and it is regarded as a symbol of "bad luck" by the Tokugawa family, and it is denounced as "Demon Sword Muramasa".
Because it was said to be a demon knife by the Tokugawa shogunate, it was destroyed, and the existing Muramasa knife was scarce, and it caught up with the fish and meat coveted by the great powers in Japan at that time, and the scarce Muramasa knife was also looted.
Wang Ding didn't have time to pay attention to Japanese katanas, and for him, the Chinese antiques in the Asian Pavilion made him even more interested.
To say that there are a lot of Chinese treasures in this Asian Pavilion, but it is nothing more than some porcelain, jade or something, however, there is a treasure that will arouse Wang Ding's curiosity, because there is a jade plate to guide, Wang Ding has to pay attention to this treasure, this is a gold seal, especially not because it is a gold seal, but the text on it is the king of Han and the slave.
The Han Wanu king?
The appearance of this golden seal has to make Wang Ding lift his spirits, just now that Muratani Taro said something about conquering China or something, but in fact, the Japanese # Ben was defeated by China after the most Lu, and in history, the Japanese # Ben was a vassal of China.
"Zhang Bi, I found a baby. This baby. Let's have to talk to the curator. Buy it back. ”
Wang Ding deliberately amplified his voice, and Zhang Bi asked curiously, "What is it?" ”
"Is this it..."
"You can't buy anything back." Before Wang Ding could speak, Taro Muratani said sarcastically. "Chinese, I said that you are really simple, do you think that we can discuss with the curator to bring the katana back to the motherland, and you can redeem the treasures of your country from here?" The redemption of the treasure here is due to the political friendship between the two countries. That's government activity, and second, it's private commercial activity, and commercial activity is to use money to smash, but if you can buy it with money, how can you buy such a national treasure-level cultural relic? ”
"Really? We can't afford a small role like ours, but I'll see if it's okay first. Zhang Bi, come and take a look at this treasure. Sally, you can take a look at it, it's a really good thing. ”
Zhang Bi and Sally walked towards the treasure together, and when they approached the golden seal, Sally smiled decisively. "It's... This should be given to Japan in ancient China#Ben. No, at that time, it was still called the Golden Seal of the Wa Kingdom. ”
"That's right! Seal of the Han and Uno kings. This is the golden seal given by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty to the king of the Wa Kingdom, at that time, the Wa Kingdom came to pay tribute to China every year, and the Guangwu Emperor of China at that time gave them a seal to slow down, and this golden seal is a good cultural relic to witness history. At that time, the Wa Kingdom was a subsidiary of China. ”
As soon as Zhang Bi said this, Taro Muratani and Shimono Taro Taro Taro hurriedly ran over.
When I really saw this gold seal on the two days#, my face turned sallow all of a sudden.
"Why is this thing here?"
"It's really a shame for our Yamato nation, if you can't do it, we're going to destroy it."
"Hey, what are you doing, how can the relics in our Louvre Museum be destroyed by you casually. Don't be too presumptuous. Sally warned.
"That's right, this Han slave king seal is a good treasure, for our descendants to understand that the day # was once a vassal of our China has important research value and significance, which is much more real than the day # himself who took the ugliness of war as an honor."
"You don't want to bring this back to China, I can't destroy this golden seal of the Han and Japanese slaves here, I can buy it and destroy it, I will never let you get it!"
Taro Muratani said viciously, and Ooka Shimono was also full of hatred for Wang Ding, and his fist was clenched like a sandbag again, if he wasn't still in the Louvre, he would have pounced.
"Wang Ding, we want to buy this treasure for the sake of the motherland."
"Yes, I will also intercede with the curator for you, but I can't let them destroy this artifact." Sally pouted and hummed.
"It's the curator here." Sally had just mentioned Brewer, who had already walked over with his big belly.
The annoying druid followed behind Brewer, and with a Western fan, he was beside Brewer to create a cool breeze.
"Curator, these are the two people waiting for you."
The druids have special respect for the two days# himself, but he doesn't take Wang Ding seriously. When the curator arrived, Taro Muratani and Shimono Taro Taro Taro Tano straightened their clothes and greeted them respectfully.
Standing still, Taro Muratani smiled and looked at Brewer, the director of the Louvre.
"Hello, Mr. Brewer, we are Japanese #Ben tourists from afar, my name is Taro Muratani."
"My name is Shimono Taoka."
"Please advise!"
It's a polite bow and nod again, Wang Dingchu didn't see anything, and it was disgusting to see too much.
Brewer pushed his hand, immediately distanced himself from the two, and said coldly, "I heard the druid say that you want to redeem a katana from your country?" ”
"Yes, thank you Mr. Druid, Director Brewer, indeed. Because there is a Japanese demon king Muramasa sword in your museum, this katana is very important to our country, and I think if I can, I can ask the curator to sell this treasure, so that I can return to my homeland with it. ”
"But the treasures in our Louvre Museum are not casually sold." Brewer shook his head, and with his hands behind his back, he ran towards the Demon King Village Sword, walking as he went. "This knife is the long knife of your Tokugawa shogunate in Japan, not only in France, but also in your country, in the world, it is difficult to find the same Muramasa sword. It stands to reason that our government supports merchants from the countries where the treasures belong to come here to bid for their own treasures, so I can't say that it must not be, but I think it's better to treasure such a Muramasa knife in our museum for the people of the world to enjoy, and it would be too expensive to buy it, too expensive. ”
Brewer sighed and shook his head, but Taro Muratani didn't care what the price was. "Mr. Brewer, don't say no, since your government has such a good offer that you can ask us to redeem it, but the price is more expensive, I really don't care.
It's better to make a price, although this is a treasure, but after all, it is just a knife. If I could, I would pay 300,000 euros to redeem this katana, Mr. Brewer, what do you think? ”
Taro Muratani is indeed a rich man, and 300,000 euros is said casually, and the druid has been shocked. But it is true that Brewer is a man who has seen big winds and waves, and 300,000 euros is not much temptation for him. "I think it's better to forget about 300,000 euros, I think it's better to treasure it in our museum."
"What do you think of the 500,000 euros, Mr. Breuer? This katana is only made of jade steel, so 500,000 euros is definitely a lot. Taro Muratani made another offer.
Half a million euros, a katana, like Taro Muratani said, the price is definitely worth it. Brewer smiled with satisfaction, but also bluntly.
"Okay, our museum is for your country, since it is a treasure of your country, and you sincerely take it back, then what else do I, the curator, say. €500,000 sold! ”
Brewer was a little anxious, but when Taro Muratani finalized this deal, he couldn't ignore another treasure. "Mr. Brewer, I actually have to buy a treasure, so you should sell me this one as well."
"Oh, which one else?"
Brewer was also curious.
"It's this golden seal."
As soon as Taro Muratani pointed his hand in the direction of Wang Ding, Brewer saw that in the position surrounded by Wang Ding, Zhang Bi and Sally, there was a gold seal of the king of Han and the slaves.
Needless to say, Taro Muratani wanted to buy this thing, and Brewer knew what it was.
"Hello curator, I'm Wang Ding. You were busy when you came today, so it was rude not to visit. ”
"Hello, I'm Zhang Bi, and I came to the Louvre in Paris to study with Wang Ding."
Wang Ding and Zhang Bi both warmly shook hands with Brewer, and Brewer was also very generous. "Nothing, nothing, I already knew you were coming, because I was busy arranging for the druid and Sally to receive you. Okay? ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Wang Ding said with a smile, but the next second his words changed sharply. "But Curator Brewer, I must also tell you one thing, that is, I also fancy this gold seal, I also want to buy it, moreover, I am Chinese, this gold seal is Chinese, so you can not sell it to that day # myself."
"Huh?"
Wang Ding's words made Brewer a little embarrassed, in fact, selling it to Taro Muratani was Brewer's original idea, because Taro Muratani was rich enough.
But because of Wang Ding's entry, Brewer couldn't sell this gold seal so hastily. Especially when he said in front of himself that this treasure should be sold to the country to which he belongs, this is a pit dug by himself, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye.
"Well, it stands to reason that I should have sold it to you. But Taro Muratani..."
"Curator, I want to buy this gold seal, I can buy it as much as I want." Taro Muratani said when he saw Brewer hesitating.
"Curator, have you turned a blind eye to your rules and turned a deaf ear? Didn't you say that it was only sold to the country to which the artifact belonged? Why do you still want to sell to him? ”
"Nope." Brewer was forced to say helplessly, "Of course I don't want to sell it to him." Wang Ding, I can sell this treasure to you, but the price will not be low, so if you can't make that much money, I can't help it. ”
"It's okay, you say, how much is this treasure?" (To be continued......)
