Chapter 0717: The Liu Family's Dao Sword
However, Ye Wudao was not the kind of person who loved music after all, and after listening to it for a while, he restrained his thoughts and began to look at this shop that bought and sold second-hand music equipment.
The shop is mainly an acoustic guitar business, but there are also some other instruments, such as an old piano in the corner, and some percussion instruments.
There is an empty wall on the wall, and some masks are hung, including some masks of African tribes, as well as face-changing faces in Sichuan opera in China, etc., but it shows diversity, no wonder people say that art has no borders.
Ye Wudao took his gaze back from the face on the wall, and when he was about to turn his head, he suddenly saw a Huaguo sword hanging on the corner of the wall, this sword was not a modern sword, but an ancient sword, and the hilt was also inlaid with some gems, these gems were not in a straight row, but formed a small gossip pattern, which immediately attracted Ye Wudao's attention.
The blade of the sword was hidden in the scabbard, although Ye Wudao did not pull it out and take a closer look, but he had already noticed the extraordinaryness of this sword, this sword was not those weapons in the ordinary sense, but a Dao sword.
Ye Wudao walked over, hooked his hand and took the sword off the wall, and saw that the hilt of the sword was engraved with the word "willow", but this word "willow" was a little strange and was not a common shape, and ordinary people couldn't see that it was a "willow" character at all.
"Strange, how could the Liu family's sword end up here?" Ye Wudao muttered to himself.
At this time, the applause of the shopkeeper sounded very back, Ye Wudao turned around and found that Wang Shiying had finished playing a song from Hotel California.
"Miss, you play the guitar so well, you must be a musician, right?"
This shopkeeper has a bit of vision, and can judge her identity through Wang Shiying's playing skills and temperament, not just a guitar enthusiast.
"Thank you for your appreciation, I just like music more, I like this guitar very much, I don't know how much it sells?" Wang Shiying said with a love for the acoustic guitar in her hand.
And when the shopkeeper saw Wang Shiying's appearance, he immediately opened his mouth and opened a price of five hundred dollars, five hundred dollars is equivalent to a price of more than three thousand, which is not too expensive, after all, the jade in it is all old, and it is estimated that he also bought it from others at a very small price.
And Wang Shiying didn't even bargain, she bought this acoustic guitar directly, as the saying goes, it's hard to buy a good one, and her status as a big star naturally doesn't care about this.
After Wang Shiying bought the guitar, she walked over to Ye Wudao, and when she saw him holding a sword in her hand, she asked with some curiosity: "Wudao, what is this?"
"This is also a sword of Huaguo, which is quite interesting to me to look at. Ye Wudao replied casually.
"Sir, you have a good eye, and this sword is a real work of art. The shopkeeper immediately came over and said.
"A sword is a sword, but whether it is a work of art or not, it depends on the person, the person who likes it is a work of art in his eyes, and the person who doesn't like it is garbage. ”
Ye Wudao is not Wang Shiying, now he is poor, but he doesn't want to be knocked on by this shopkeeper, this sword is bound for him, not only because he thinks this is a precious "Dao sword", but also because this is a sword of the Liu family.
"Sir, I can assure you that this sword is worth the money, do you know whose sword it is?" said the shopkeeper mysteriously.
"Oh, whose sword is this?"
Although Ye Wudao knew that it was the Liu family's sword, he really didn't know who the owner of this sword was.
This sword is Huang Liushuang's most cherished item and has appeared in many Hollywood movie shots. The shopkeeper said to Ye Wudao.
"Huang Liushuang's things?" Ye Wudao frowned suddenly, of course Huang Liushuang knew who it was, when he was filming Seven Swords, Ye Wudao also made up for the knowledge of the film and television industry, knowing that Huang Liushuang was the first Chinese-American Hollywood movie star.
"However, although Huang Liushuang has a willow character in her name, she is surnamed Huang, not Liu, how can she have the Dao Sword of the Liu family?
The Huang family's ancestral home is Taishan, and the first generation to the United States is Huang Liushuang's grandfather, who can be described as the first generation of Chinese workers who came to California to pan for gold, and when Huang Shanxing, the father of the second generation of Huang Liushuang, arrived, the Huang family had opened a laundry shop in Chinatown to make a living, and Huang Liushuang was a third-generation immigrant.
In the silent film era, Hollywood often used stories that ridiculed Orientals or scandalized Chinese people as the subject of films, so they often went to Chinatown for location purposes, and often recruited Chinese extras based on local materials, and Huang Liushuang embarked on a Hollywood star journey under this circumstance.
Ye Wudao remained silent, and did not show any excited expression, but pretended to be ignorant and said: "I'm sorry, I haven't heard of Huang Liushuang, I'm just a little curious about the material of this sword, I am a person who is very interested in the ancient culture of China, this sword looks very interesting to me, I want to sell it and take it back to study, of course, at the right price." ”
Ye Wudao's meaning is very simple, I am interested in buying this sword, but the price should be right, if you ask the price all over the sky, then I will not buy it.
Ye Wudao's serious expression and tone, don't say that this shopkeeper can't see it, even Wang Shiying can't see it, thinking that Ye Wudao really doesn't know Huang Liushuang.
In fact, this is not surprising, although Huang Liushuang is the first Chinese movie star in Hollywood, after all, the age is too old, and now even Chinese actors may not know her.
And the shopkeeper obviously wanted to fight for some more money, and said to Ye Wudao: "Sir, good things are usually expensive, you see how beautiful these jewels are set on the hilt of this sword, it is definitely expensive." ”
"Hehe, I dare to give you a hundred assurances, these things are definitely not precious stones, they are just ordinary stones, well, maybe just some beautiful looking stones, but, you know, stones are not gemstones, they are worthless. Ye Wudao said calmly.
The shopkeeper suddenly blushed a little, he had taken out the gems on this sword for identification, indeed as Ye Wudao said, these were not valuable gems, but some very strange, but beautiful stones that had no effect.
"Okay, boss, although I'm a tourist, I'm not wronged, I just bought this sword back for research, it doesn't work, unless it's Beckham's stuff, you know, I like his football, but I'm not a collector, I won't give you a big price, you give me a good price, you only have one chance. ”
Ye Wudao pretended to be unimpressed with this sword and said.
