Chapter 5: A Strange Sword
After some thinking and planning, Liu Yuenan planned to solve the problem of eating and drinking first, after all, no matter how the world changes, as long as people live, they can't get rid of this key issue, so he used the communicator to order a large number of bottled mineral water, as well as a large amount of food.
Judging from the amount ordered, it is enough for him to eat for three or five years.
After solving the problem of eating and drinking, Liu Yuenan suddenly wondered if he needed to buy a self-defense weapon, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to wait for it to get dark and go to the legendary 'ghost market' to have a look, after all, only in that kind of place can it be possible to buy a relatively ideal self-defense weapon.
At night, Liu Yuenan seemed to have done something wrong, cautious as a thief, and not long after he stepped into the ghost market, he was targeted.
A stall owner made a 'shhh
is the so-called 'nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief', how could Liu Yuenan not know this truth, but when he looked at the other party's stall, Liu Yuenan's eyes were a little hot.
An ancient sword that seemed to have a sense of age aroused Liu Yuenan's curiosity, and he walked over.
As soon as he got closer, the stall owner chuckled and said, "Little brother, what a good vision!" It's the old stuff down there. ”
Liu Yuenan nodded noncommittally, picked up the ancient sword with his hand, and pulled it out with a 'swish', but saw that the blade was as red as blood, as if it had been soaked in the blood pool for tens of millions of years, but there was no trace of blood wafting out, which was very strange.
Liu Yuenan raised his eyes, and just wanted to ask about the specific situation of this ancient sword, he found that the stall owner looked dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost, which made Liu Yuenan's heart chuckle.
Hurriedly inserted the ancient sword into the scabbard, and couldn't help but think in his heart, this ghost market has always been mysterious, could it be that this buyer and seller still have something to pay attention to?
The stall owner finally came back to his senses, he was a little nervous, and asked incredulously, "Did you pull out your sword?" ”
Liu Yuenan nodded, also a little nervous, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”
The stall owner hurriedly waved his hand, his eyes were as bright as electricity, and he said very happily: "Little brother! Since this ancient sword was unearthed, no one has been able to pull it out, and you are the first person in the world! ”
As soon as Liu Yuenan heard this, he instantly sniffed out some extra flavors, and his nervous mood suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help sneering, and said secretly: "Such an inferior promotional method, coaxing ghosts!" ”
Seeing that Liu Yuenan refused to believe it, the stall owner was also a little embarrassed, hurriedly put away his exaggerated smile, and said with a serious face: "It seems that the little brother refuses to believe it, that's easy to do, let's find someone to try it, don't you understand?" ”
After speaking, the stall owner turned around and called 'third', and soon, a big man came out of the darkness with a simple face, which made people think of him as a bad person.
When the third child approached, the stall owner whispered, "Pull this ancient sword out of its scabbard." ”
The third child was suddenly embarrassed, and muttered with an uncomfortable face: "Big brother, I have tried I don't know how many times, and I still pull it out?" ”
"Yes, I will pull it out, in front of this little brother, so that this little brother will think that we are people who do black-hearted business." The stall owner said categorically.
The third child hesitated for a moment, looked at Liu Yuenan, and then reluctantly picked up the ancient sword, and put on a posture of a thousand pounds, but he couldn't pull out the ancient sword, and his face was suffocated into pig liver, and then he stopped panting.
Liu Yuenan was very surprised, and always felt that something was still wrong, so he snatched the ancient sword over, and pulled it out easily with a 'swish'.
I couldn't help but chuckle sarcastically: "It's easy! Why do you have to work so hard? ”
The old thirty was very surprised, and even the heavy gasping paused for a few seconds, and then exclaimed, "You dialed it out?" ”
Liu Yuenan nodded and said proudly: "It's pulled out, and you don't have to work hard to tie the horse." ”
After speaking, Liu Yuenan inserted the blood-colored ancient sword back into the scabbard and threw it directly to the dumbfounded third child, intending to leave.
The stall owner hurriedly shouted: "Little brother, please stay!" ”
Liu Yuenan turned back impatiently, and the stall owner chuckled embarrassedly: "If this were me, I wouldn't want to believe it, but it happened like this, you say...... What more can I say? ”
Liu Yuenan rolled his eyes, and the stall owner sincerely suggested: "If the little brother refuses to believe our brother, you can choose a few passers-by at random to try, so that the matter will be understood?" ”
Liu Yuenan thought about it, it was reasonable, and it happened that a young man with a seemingly sturdy physique passed by, so Liu Yuenan humbly asked him to try to pull out the ancient sword.
Although the young man didn't understand, he still did it, originally thought it was a very easy thing, but with all his efforts, the young man was stunned and couldn't pull out the ancient sword, and immediately angrily threw the ancient sword to Liu Yuenan.
Very unhappy white eyes said: "This is clearly a model sword, there is no blade at all, and the ghost can pull it out." ”
Liu Yuenan was a little confused, feeling that this matter was very unreasonable, so he pulled out the ancient sword with a 'swish', and chuckled: "It's very easy!" ”
He also handed it to the young man, shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "This is definitely not a model sword, look at it...... There is a blade. ”
The young man was even more angry, his face turned into a pig's liver with shame, and he roared unconvinced: "There must be some mechanism that I don't know, otherwise why wouldn't I be able to pull it out." ”
Liu Yuenan thrust the ancient sword back into its scabbard, handed it to the young man again, and motioned for him to look at it casually.
In fact, Liu Yuenan also wondered in his heart, thinking, isn't there really some mechanism that happened to be touched by himself?
However, the young man looked left and right, but he never found any special mechanism, so he tried to pull it out again, his face was a little deformed, and he still couldn't pull out the blood-colored ancient sword.
In the meantime, it attracted the attention of some people, and they all surrounded them, and they all eagerly stepped forward to try to draw their swords, but in the end, no one succeeded, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed.
There is no shortage of strange things in ghost markets.
When the crowd dispersed, the stall owner came up with a smile and said in a low voice: "Little brother, how is it, my brother is a sincere person, I didn't lie to you!" ”
It's all at this time, and Liu Yuenan had no choice but to nod, after all, so many people have tried, it can't be all dragged by the stall owner.
Liu Yuenan took a deep breath and tried to ask, "What is the origin of this ancient sword?" It seems to be very weird. ”
The stall owner showed an unfathomable smile, blinked his eyes and said, "Little brother looks very curious!" However, according to the rules of the industry, the goods are not sold, and it is difficult for me to tell its specific origin. ”
Liu Yuenan understood that the stall owner was planning to bargain.
So he casually asked, "Then how much do you plan to put this ancient sword up for?" ”
