Jin Yutong

Chapter 196 There is heaven and earth in it

"Antique?" Wang Zhiqing gave the young man a strange look, and nodded with a smile: "Of course it is an antique."

"How much is that worth?" After the young man asked this, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Wang Zhiqing didn't answer him, but turned around and entered the counter, took out a pair of leather gloves from the drawer inside the counter and put them on his hands. After walking over, he reached out and took out the Japanese knife in front of him from the wooden box , while Chen Ran was still frowning, wondering what was going on.

The matter in front of him has already exceeded his cognition, and it really puzzles him.

And the moment Wang Zhiqing took the Japanese sword out of the wooden box, Chen Ran, who was still in deep thought, suddenly stared straight at his eyes. He didn't know what he found. He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide. The whole person was stunned.

After being stunned for a while, Chen Ran finally realized what happened, but he couldn't laugh or cry. At this moment, he finally understood what the problem was.

It turned out that the problem was not the Japanese sword in front of me, but the wooden box containing the Japanese sword.

After Wang Zhiqing took the Japanese sword out of the wooden box, the energy circle he released did not move with the Japanese knife, but stuck to the bottom of the wooden box.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ran didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help but wryly smiled.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ran adjusted his mood, and then carefully observed the wooden box, but he didn't know much about ebony. Other than that, I don't know anything about it, let alone have seen it.

Knowing this is because it is related to carving. Since the gloomy wood has the saying of warding off evil spirits, many gloomy woods are carved into various root carvings, which are used for town houses or to ward off evil spirits.

So far, this is the first time he has seen Yin Shenmu.

"Your Japanese sword should have a history of about a hundred years. Although it is not a long time, this sword is very beautifully forged. It should be the saber of a Japanese officer during the Anti-Japanese War..." Taking out the Japanese sword, After observing for a while with the magnifying glass, Wang Zhiqing put the magnifying glass on the counter and put the knife back into the wooden box.

Wang Zhiqing is not a professional researcher of ancient swords and swords, so he can only see the similar origin of this sword. If he was asked to tell the exact year in which this sword was forged and which school of Japan it was forged, he would be really impressed. I can’t say for sure, I won’t say the specific year, and I don’t need to say which genre in Japan. You must know that the genre of Japanese swordsmanship is very complicated, and it is difficult for non-professionals to distinguish it.

"How much is that worth?" Hearing Wang Zhiqing say that this knife is only about a hundred years old, the young man couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The time is so short, so it shouldn't be worth much. Could it be that he has to give up... Wang Zhiqing groaned After a long while, he gently picked up the Japanese knife and looked it over, and after a while he said: "The price should be around 3 yuan, young man, do you want to sell this knife? I advise you not to sell it, this knife is the spoils of your grandfather who killed the devil, and only you keep it, it is the most commemorative, if it is someone else, it is just a knife."

Wang Zhiqing saw that the young man seemed to want to sell this Japanese sword, so he couldn't help admonishing him. No doubt, such trophies would only be more commemorative if they were kept by the descendants of soldiers who killed devils. Take an ordinary Japanese knife.

"3 yuan!"

3 yuan is higher than what the young man imagined just now, but it is far from his expectation. This makes him not know what to do. There is only 3 yuan, where can I get the rest... For a while, the young man was a little lost, and he didn't listen to Wang Zhiqing's advice.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhiqing sighed lightly. At this moment, how could he fail to see that this young man was in a hurry and wanted to sell this knife, but this knife, which he estimated at 3 yuan, was going to Gao Li estimated that if it was sold to others, they would definitely lower the price, and it would be good if it could be sold for [-] yuan.

At this time, Chen Ran, who had been observing for a while, finally made a new discovery.

Chen Ran's discovery was not that he found anything on the wooden box, but that he found something strange in the energy aperture adsorbed on the wooden box.

In the past, he had encountered something that actively absorbed the energy aperture, like the skull pendant, which was undoubtedly the case at that time, but now the energy aperture and the skull pendant that were absorbed on the wooden box were at that time. But it's not the same.

At the time of the skull pendant, the energy aperture was tightly adsorbed on the skull pendant. After being adsorbed on it, it was out of his control, and then absorbed by the skull pendant, but the wooden box in front of him was different. Although the energy aperture was absorbed on the wooden box, it was still under his control.

Let's put it this way, when the skull pendant is used, the energy aperture is fixed on the skull pendant. This is not only the skull pendant, it is also the same when detecting other ancient relics, but now it is different to detect this wooden box. The aperture is not fixed on the wooden box, but next to the wooden box, but it still flutters, as if it is separated by something, and the adsorption is not tight... "The thing that absorbs the energy aperture is not the wooden box , but something else, this thing is inside the wooden box!"

When Chen Ran's eyes fell on the bottom of the wooden box, his eyelids jumped suddenly, and his heart felt like a stone was thrown on the calm lake, and he could no longer keep calm.

Although he couldn't calm down in his heart, on the surface, Chen Ran was very calm, and there was no sign of strangeness on his face. At this time, he was no longer the one who just debuted a few months ago.

Having experienced the dangers of Guixiong Ridge, he has mastered his composure skills.

Chen Ran stretched out his hand to pick up the wooden box with a normal face, and checked it over and over again. The result of the check made him a little dumbfounded. He didn't find a single crack on the wooden box. His eyes were like a magnifying glass, and if no cracks were found, it meant that there were no cracks in the wooden box... So, how did the things inside the wooden box get in?

What kind of thing is hiding?

At this moment, Chen Ran's heart was full of curiosity, as if being scratched by a cat, it was extremely itchy... "Xiao Ran, are you interested in this kind of ebony box?" Wang Zhiqing saw Chen Ran checking over and over again The wooden box asked strangely.

Chen Ran didn't deny it, nodded and said, "I've only heard of Yin Shenmu before, but I haven't seen it. This is the first time I've seen it, so I'm curious."

After finishing speaking, he calmed down a bit, turned his head to look at the young man, and asked, "Brother Wang, is he going to sell this Japanese sword?"

Before he finished speaking, he took the leather glove that Wang Zhiqing had taken off, put his hands on it, took out the Japanese knife from the wooden box, and detected it with the energy aperture, but there was no response at all.

There is no reaction at all, which means that the forging time of this knife has not exceeded 100 years. Of course, it has not been more than 100 years, which does not mean that this knife is worthless, only from the exquisite shape and carving of this knife. Look, it's a nice knife.

"Maybe it's for sale. I'll give him an estimate of 3 yuan..."

Wang Zhiqing glanced at the young man and nodded.

Chen Ran was thinking about the problem just now, so he didn't hear Wang Zhiqing's conversation with the young man clearly. He heard Wang Zhiqing say that the Japanese knife was worth 3 yuan. After he nodded, he looked at the young man and asked, "Little brother?" , this knife, 3 yuan, will you sell it?"

The young man in front of him is not one of those second-rate dealers in the antique market, and he has been identified by Wang Zhiqing. Besides, everyone is from the same town. Therefore, Chen Ran has no intention of lowering the price, and directly quoted 3 yuan according to the facts. .

"You want to buy?"

After hearing what Chen Ran said, the young man raised his head and looked at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran nodded. Although he couldn't find out what was inside the wooden box, just relying on the fact that the contents inside could absorb his 25 energy circles was enough to show that the things inside the wooden box were absolutely valuable. My dear, I bought this knife to get the wooden box by the way.

After getting an affirmative answer from Chen Ran, the young man didn't show the slightest joy on his face, it could be seen that he seemed to be hesitating.

In fact, he was indeed hesitating. To sell for 3 yuan, it was naturally a high price for him, but even if he got 3 yuan, it would be of no use to him at the moment. The knife was left to him by his grandfather who loved him the most. If he was not in a hurry to spend money, he would never sell it.

And it's useless to sell this knife now, so he naturally didn't want to sell it.

After hesitating for a while, he came over suddenly, closed the wooden box containing the Japanese sword, and said to Chen Ran without looking back, "I won't sell it anymore!"

"Not for sale?" Chen Ran was taken aback, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm down: "Are you dissatisfied with the price? I like your Japanese knife very much. You If you feel that the price is not satisfactory, then you can set a price yourself, if it is suitable, we will make a deal..."

The young man's attitude was really beyond Chen Ran's expectations. He was afraid that the young man would really not want to sell it, so in order to show his sincerity, he just asked the young man to set the price himself.

"Xiao Ran..."

When Chen Ran asked to buy this Japanese sword, Wang Zhiqing didn't pay much attention to it. In his eyes, Chen Ran was a young man after all. He liked a knife and wanted to buy it. If Chen Ran wants to buy it, he won't suffer a loss, but now that Chen Ran wants the young man to ask for the price himself, he has no choice but to ask, because he still overestimated the price of [-] yuan.

"Brother Wang, I really like this knife. As long as the price is not too high, it's okay to buy it..." Chen Ran explained without waiting for Wang Zhiqing to persuade him. knife.

After Chen Ran said that, Wang Zhiqing nodded and didn't say anything more. For collectors, it's normal to pay a higher price for something they like. Now Chen Ran likes this knife. Naturally, he would not stop Chen Ran from buying it.

"Do you really want to buy it?"

The young man turned around and looked at Chen Ran in amazement. There was a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he finally shook his head when he thought of the gap between [-] and the expected price: "Forget it, the price I offered , you definitely won’t buy it.”

After saying this, the young man turned around and walked away without even looking at Chen Ran, holding the wooden box.
