Zhan Wuxian went straight to the backyard of the Confucian Mansion, and saw more than 100 people, most of whom were wearing silk and satin, gold and silver, showing grace and luxury. They wore swords at their belts, and their swords looked much like the two swords they had bought from the peddler. Seeing this scene, Zhan Wuxian and Mo Wuya looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads at the same time, it seems that the vendor's business is really good, and these are rich people who come.

I saw these people surrounding a square platform built with blue bricks, ten zhang square, one foot high, and two steps in the middle, which was the current sword platform. This table is different from the rest of the surrounding area, it is cleaned clean, and it is splashed with clean water, and it is spotless. There are three cases side by side on the sword platform, and there are three old men kneeling behind, only to see their silver hair and silver beard, fluttering in the wind, looking like a well-educated Confucian, a famous master of Jinglun.

The three of them, like everyone in the audience, were listening attentively to a person in the center of the sword platform talking about the sword, only to hear the man say: "The sword, there is also in ancient times, was founded in Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Jiyun: 'The bronze sword of the emperor Cai Shoushan, inscribed with ancient astronomical characters, is for Xuanyuan, and it is in Zhuolu to fight Chiyou. However, the appearance of human beings varies in size and length, and the sword is made for its service, not to look directly at beauty, but to make each suitable for its own use. Therefore, it is a third-class system, so as to treat the third-class people, so that they can be convenient as they please. The stem of the sword is five inches long, and if the sword body is five times as long as its stem, it is three feet, weighing nine pounds, and it weighs three catties and twelve taels. Only the long and powerful one can then win it, so the sergeant obeys it. The sword body has four stems, the length of the stem is two feet five inches, the weight is seven pounds, then two catties and fourteen taels are also, the length is light and heavy, so it is called the middle system. Only those who have the middle are suitable to obey, so the sergeant obeys it. If the sword body stops three of its stems, then two feet of ears, heavy stop five qiang, then two catties of one two or three points of the middle ear, light and short, so it is called the next system. Those who are short in form and weak in strength can be served. ”

After speaking, the man turned around slightly, only to see that this person's face was like a crown of jade, red lips and white teeth, a pair of red phoenix eyes, shining, looking at the age of only sixteen or seventeen years old, if it wasn't for listening to him before, just looking at his figure and appearance, anyone would think that this person is a young girl dressed as a man.

After everyone listened to the young man's discussion of the sword, everyone in the audience nodded frequently, praised it, and whispered: Who is that young man? At such a young age, he has such a profound insight, and he is really a young talent. At this time, a middle-aged man dressed in a fancy dress and with several swords on his belt said: "This brother has such a deep understanding of swords at a young age, isn't it that you are the new swordsman Xue Zhu in the rivers and lakes?" ”

The young man hurriedly made a gesture and said: "It's Xue Candle below, and the swordsman doesn't dare to be a sword master, I'm just a good sword, and I have some research on the world's famous swords, and it's all fur." When it comes to phase swords, these three seniors can be called masters. The three old men on the stage stood up unhurriedly and signaled to everyone in the audience. One of them was about to say a few words of self-humility, when someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "Boss Lu, I heard that you have countless hidden swords, and you have collected a lot of them today, why don't you take them out and give them to the three sword masters to taste and see how much the famous swords you have collected are worth." ”

The Boss Lu in this person's mouth is the middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous costume and several swords on his belt. He said: "Although he is a businessman, he cherishes the sword as much as his life, and never treats it as a commodity, and never buys and sells it. As for letting the three sword masters taste my Tibetan sword, Lu also has this intention to see if the famous sword in my collection is real or fake. After speaking, the boss Lu walked up to the sword platform, took off the several swords on his waist and handed them to the three sword masters, and said: "In Xia Lu Xiqi, from Weiguo Puyang, my Lu family has been in business for generations, has accumulated some industries, and there are several restaurants. I have been a good sword since I was a child, I have searched all over the world, and I have collected a lot of famous swords, these are three of them, please three teachers to taste. ”

The three old men took the sword, looked at it carefully, and let out a sound of admiration from time to time, and one of them said, "Good sword, good sword." I don't know where Boss Lu got these three famous swords? ”

"Is it really a famous sword?" Lu Xiqi was greatly surprised, and looked at his expression a little unbelieving: "Is it true?" I only spent ten gold on these swords, but I didn't expect them to be really famous swords. Great, great, may I ask the three teachers, what kind of famous swords are these? And what are their names? ”

The old man said: "Congratulations Boss Lu, you only spent ten gold to really catch a leak, and each of these three swords is worth a thousand gold!" For example, this red sword is the famous Chengying Sword. ”

Immediately, the audience was in an uproar.

The old man continued: "Back then, it was here that I had the honor to see the old man Kong Xuan show this sword to everyone, how shocking it was at that time, and I also touched it with my own hands. Later, Childe defeated the enemy and led the corpse beast pawns to grab this sword, and after a big battle, the Chengying Sword disappeared. I didn't expect to reappear in my hometown today, Boss Lu, please tell you how you got this sword. ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Another old man stood up and said, "Do you know what kind of sword this sword in my hand is?" ”

The crowd shook their heads.

"Look, this sword is as white as jade, ethereal as smoke, this is the Tai'a sword that has long disappeared in the rivers and lakes. Everyone knows that the Tai'a sword is that the king of Chu Zhuang relied on this sword to compete for hegemony with the Jin state, and defeated the Jin army in the battle of Yi, and since then the king of Zhuang has dominated the princes. But after King Zhuang died, this Tai'a Sword didn't know where to go, but I didn't expect it to be in the hands of Boss Lu, I don't know where Boss Lu got Tai'a Sword? Lu Xianqi was about to speak, when he heard the third old man say, "Don't worry, don't worry." Do you know that the sword in my hand is the real sword among the three swords? ”

The crowd shook their heads.

The old man didn't speak, but suddenly pulled out the sword in his hand, and saw that the sword was golden and shining, like a golden dragon flying out. "This is the world's number one sword Xuanyuan Sword, this is the ancestor of ten thousand swords, the king of a hundred soldiers. I don't need to introduce this sword more, everyone is a good sword person, and the Xuanyuan sword must be like thunder. What I want to know is also what everyone wants to know, may I ask Boss Lu, how did you get this Xuanyuan Sword? ”

When everyone heard that it was the Xuanyuan Sword, they were all amazed, their eyes widened, and they couldn't wait to lean over and touch it with their hands. At this time, Lu Xian Wizard said: "Speaking of getting these three swords, it is really a bit of a coincidence. Three years ago, I went west to Qishan to do a horse business, and I met an old man on the way, who was skinny and terminally ill, and he was already dying. I couldn't bear it, so I rescued the old man, asked him for healing, took good care, ten days later, the old man fully recovered, in order to repay my life-saving grace, he asked me what I wanted, I said there is no other good, only a good sword. When the old man heard this, he looked at me for a long time, and then nodded and said that it was me. I didn't understand what he meant, and asked the old man. The old man didn't say anything, stood up, and took me to a cave at the foot of Qishan, saying that when King Wen went to Chaoge, he had taken shelter from the rain in this cave, and left two treasures, namely the Chengying Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword, and sent one of his generals to guard it. Day after day, year after year, the general did not wait for King Wen, and when the general was about to die, he instructed his descendants to take care of these two treasures and wait for King Wen's descendants to come and take them. Until King Wu won the world, and then King Wu died, no one came. The general's descendants were not reconciled, and personally went to Hojing to explain the matter to King Cheng and let King Cheng send someone to win back the double sword. Na Cheng thought, the general's descendants didn't even enter the palace gate of the Hojing Palace, and he told others that no one believed him, so he could only return depressed, continue to stick to the general's promise, and died soon after.

Until a few years ago, when the last descendant of the general was about to die, he said to the old man: Today's royal family is declining, the world is rising, the royal family is no longer favored by the mandate of heaven, and my family's mission will be completed. After speaking, the descendants of General Nawen taught the old man how to take the sword, and then closed his eyes.

In order to repay me for saving my life, the old man gave Xuanyuan and Chengying two swords. ”

At this time, a silver-bearded old man in the middle of the sword platform said: "The old man has been swords for decades, and he has never seen such a famous sword, can Boss Lu fulfill the old man's wish?" ”

Lu Xiqi said: "Senior, please speak, as long as Lu can do it, he will go all out." ”

"This matter is as easy as Boss Lu." The old man in the middle of the stage paused and said, "Boss Lu, can you sell the Xuanyuan Sword to the old man?" The old man is willing to pay ten thousand dollars. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and people talked about it, some said that the sword of ten thousand gold, it was really a lot, and some said that the Xuanyuan sword was made by the Yellow Emperor back then, and there was too little gold.

"This ......" Lu Xiqi was a little embarrassed, he loved swords like his life, especially famous swords, to be honest, let alone ten thousand gold, even if it was one hundred thousand gold, he would not sell one million gold. But he didn't want to refute the face of the respected sword expert on the stage.

"I'm willing to pay 100,000 gold." The audience shouted: "I, like Boss Lu, am also a good sword person, I am willing to pay 100,000 gold to buy the Xuanyuan Sword in Boss Lu's hand, how about it?" ”

"Little family." Another said: "What kind of treasure is the Xuanyuan Sword, which can be purchased for just 100,000 gold?" Boss Lu, I'm willing to pay 500,000 gold, how about it, it's a lot, right? ”

"Wow, I'll pay 600,000 gold."

"I'll pay 700,000 gold." The crowd began to bid. Lu Xiqi on the stage didn't know what to do.

"I'll pay a million gold." A young man shouted, looking at this person's clothing and temperament, he was either a prince or a nobleman or a family member.

Lu Xianqi waved his hand on the stage: "I'm sorry everyone, as I said below, this sword is only here for appreciation, not for sale." ”

An old man on the left side of the stage said: "Boss Lu, everyone is a good sword person, so you can barely sell a sword, how about it?" ”

Lu Xianqi seemed to be very embarrassed, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, for the sake of the faces of the three senior experts, this Chengying Sword will be painfully cut off." ”

The audience instantly cheered, saying that Boss Lu was magnificent, and people began to shout prices.

Mo Wuya whispered to Zhan Wuxian: "Isn't it a sword conference, how can it be an auction conference." ”

"There's got to be a problem." Zhan Wuxian was not interested in the performance on stage at all, he searched the crowd with his eyes, but he never saw the figure of the cadre and Mo Ye. Zhan Wuxian said lightly: "Let's find the two seniors of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie first, if there is no here, we will have to look elsewhere." ”

Mo Wuya said: "The three old men in my stand are impostors, I have never heard of such three sword masters, I want to try their eyesight." After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhan Wuxian to agree, so he took out the dragon tendon and slashed at the three sword masters on the stage and said: "The little woman has a sword, and I also want to ask the three of you to give me a taste, I don't know if it's okay?" Mo Wuya's voice was loud, the words were mellow and true, and everyone could hear it clearly in the noise, so he gradually stopped the noise and focused on Mo Wuya. I saw a young woman who was more beautiful than a girl, holding a thing that looked like a wooden stick in one hand and walked up to the sword platform and came to the three sword masters.

The three experts looked at each other, and then looked at Mo Wuya, and felt that she was heroic and couldn't look at her directly, and then went to see the dragon tendon slash on a few cases. "Since you have brought it, let's try it hard." The old man in the middle first used his dry old hands to rub the dragon tendon chop, and then gently tapped it with the index finger of his right hand, like two iron rods touching, making a crisp sound, and finally he used both hands to hold up the dragon tendon chop, weighed it, just like the ordinary iron rod is the same weight, there is nothing special. He shook his head gently, handed the dragon tendon chop to the sword master on the left, the old man on the left took it with both hands, looked horizontally, looked vertically, and glanced at it with his eyes, this iron rod was crooked, pimples, it was an ugly iron, the old man on the left also shook his head, and handed it to the swordsman on the right, and the sword master on the right took the dragon tendon slash, and after only two glances at it, he put it on a few cases.

Then the three Xiangjian masters approached and whispered something, and after a short time, the Xiangjian master in the middle said to Mo Wuya: "This is an ugly iron, not a sword, worthless, you better take it back." ”

Mo Wuqian smiled and was not angry, and said: "No, this is my family's ancestral sword, my father said that even if someone takes ten cities to exchange with you, don't exchange them for him, is it my father who lied to me?" Why don't you take a second look? ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, "Ten cities? Ten dollars isn't worth it. ”

The expert in the middle said again: "The famous sword should be like this Boss Lu's sword, you should take this one back." ”

Mo Wuya said: "Since you say that Boss Lu's sword is a famous sword, why don't you let this Boss Lu's sword compete with my ugly iron, if Boss Lu's sword can cut my ugly iron, then Boss Lu's sword is a famous sword, a good sword, if it is constantly sharpened, then my ugly iron should be a famous sword, how about it?" ”

At this time, the people in the audience didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and began to coax: "Competition, competition......"

The three sword masters were unmoved, and the expert on the left said: "Nonsense, this is the Sword Conference, the three of us are recommended by everyone to appreciate the world's famous swords, but you take an iron rod to make trouble, don't retreat quickly." ”

At this time, Xue Candle, who had been standing silent for a long time, said, "Can you let me take a look?" ”

Mo Wuya said: "Okay, let's see how your eyesight is." As he spoke, he handed over the dragon tendon to Xue Candle. The moment Xue Candle took the dragon tendon slash with both hands, his whole body shook, and a huge sword qi instantly enveloped him, Xue Candle's hands trembled, his whole body trembled, he could barely stand, staring at the dragon tendon slash intently, almost wanting to speak but couldn't speak. After a long time, Xue Zhu calmed down his excitement and said: "This is a peerless sword, not to mention ten cities, even if there are twenty or thirty, you can't exchange this sword, because this sword is unique." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and the three sword masters in Taizhong had solemn faces and angry faces. The expert in the middle said: "Young man, don't think that you know a little theoretical knowledge and are talking nonsense here, it is obviously an iron rod, why do you say that it is a famous sword." The world's famous sword is like Boss Lu's sword, luxurious and graceful, exquisite, and blooming, you should step back quickly, don't disturb the sword conference. ”

Xue Candle looked indifferent, bowed deeply to the old man respectfully, and said: "Whether the sword is a famous sword or not is not based on whether its appearance is ugly or beautiful, but to feel its sword energy. If a sword is no matter how glamorous and beautiful its appearance is, if it does not have sword energy, it is just an ordinary sword with no appearance, and it cannot be called a famous sword. If it is a sword, although its appearance is not very good-looking, and even a little ugly, but its interior is full of sword energy, this is a famous sword. After speaking, Xue Zhu stood proudly.

"You...... You...... It's nonsense, how can I tell you when I come......" The Xiangjian master in the middle of the stage was so angry that his face was flushed, and he pointed at Xue Zhu and didn't know what to say, and almost told the truth, but fortunately, the expert on the left stopped him in time.
