Chapter 51: Ancient Sword Talk
Along the way, Lin Tianchu and his party quickly rushed to the Mu's Building at Shanzhong Eighth Road in Baiyun District. When Lin Tianchu and others arrived, the building was already surrounded by police, and Shanzhong Eighth Road was a bustling street. Usually, there was a huge flow of people. Suddenly, such a big event happened on this street. A large number of curious onlookers
The onlookers surrounded the building, and Lin Tianchu and his party had to protect Mu Xuetong and slowly line up the crowd to move forward, and heard many onlookers.
"Do you know what happened?" A woman asked.
"I heard that some bandits broke into the warehouse of the ancient industry group inside. Isn't it a large number of police around the building now?" A fat man who seemed to know something about the market said proudly.
"That's strange. Why didn't these policemen rush in?" The woman asked without any more questions.
"I said, are you a pig? Think about how many treasures there are in the warehouse of the antique group. What if it is destroyed? And..." The fat man happened to say this when Lin Tianchu and his party passed by, and his expression was very thought-provoking. Finally, he said his opinion under the curious eyes of everyone. "And have you ever seen that the police are more active in carrying out these tasks of anti-pornography and gambling? Have you ever seen the police take things seriously? Take a look, they are just pretending to themselves now. They really don't dare to let them carry out the task of thugs."
"What should I do?" Everyone thinks it's reasonable. It's true that the image of the police is really the same as the man said.
"What else can I do? Of course, I will wait for the troops to deal with it..."
The voice of the fat man was getting farther and farther away. Lin Tianchu and the other two had already protected Mu Xuetong through the blockade line and came to the building. As the fat man said, the police at the scene did not immediately go up to the murderer, but pretended to record a confession with the Mu's ancient staff who narrowly escaped. And from their posture, we can know that if the special forces don't come a day, they won't take action for a day. After all, there are too many destroyed treasures in your Mu's ancient warehouse, which is too valuable, and it's not as good as their own life.
"What's going on?"
Mu Xuetong lined up the crowd and walked in under the urging of Lin Tianchu and others. As soon as he entered the crowd, he found that his father was also here.
"Dad, didn't you go to the United States to talk about business? Why are you here now?" As soon as Mu Xuetong saw her father, she asked, curious about her father's appearance here.
Mu Zhengxiong smiled bitterly and then replied, "You know that Miss Duanmu is busy, so I also accommodated him and went directly to the United States when I learned that he participated in the Perfect Food Festival, so I followed him..."
Lin Tianchu felt a smirth in his heart, not because Mu Zhengxiong, a fierce man in the mall, was willing to follow Duanmu Jiyue, but because when he heard the four words of Miss Duanmu, he suddenly had a difficult loss in his heart.
"But Dad, how did you come back?"
Mu Xuetong felt that Mu Zhengxiong was very similar to the ordinary Lin Tianchu. He didn't talk much when he was talking to outsiders. Only when he was talking to his relatives, he seemed to open the chatter box, just like now he said a lot without talking about the point.
"I didn't want to come back, but as you know, the tomb of the King of Nanyue has been stolen cleanly for decades. All experts thought that there was no funerary objects to be excavated, but today, Hui found a secret room and found the companion of the King of Nanyue in it. Burial treasures, how surprising it is! So I just want to take a look at this sword.
"Sword?"
Lin Tianchu also forgot for a moment that his identity was only about protection, not about expressing his high opinion.
Mu Zhengxiong is usually kind, and when he listens to Ling Yiping talking to him, he admires Lin Tianchu very much. He thinks that he is a young man who knows well enough about antiques and is not arrogant, so he also likes Lin Tianchu very much.
"Yes, it's a sword, and it is said that this sword is the sword of the king of South Vietnam, not a ceremonial material created for burial."
"The king of Nanyue fought all his life and became the deputy commander of Daqin at a young age. Although he could not be compared with famous generals such as Bai Qi in history, he was definitely a famous figure in the history of South China, and his sword was not simple."
"What's not simple?"
Mu Xuetong could see that Lin Tianchu was very interested in the sword, but when he realized his identity, he stopped talking. In order to satisfy his wish, Mu Xuetong immediately asked.
"This sword is not simple, and I don't know if it's true, just because the information is too fantasy."
Mu Zhengxiong swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Lin Tianchu was curious about what could make Mu Zhengxiong's face change dramatically.
"I have devoted myself to the antique industry for most of my life. I dare not say that I have seen all the antiques in the world, but there are definitely a lot, but I really haven't seen such a sword." Mu Zhengxiong said and drew it with his hand, "This Nanyue king sword is three feet, six inches and five minutes long and two fingers wide. The casting material is not a popular bronze in the Qin Dynasty, but a material code-named X-07 in our antique industry."
"X-07? Dad, are you talking about the deep-sea cold iron X-07 often mentioned in martial arts novels that are used to cast magic weapons?
Mu Xuetong blurted out in surprise for a moment. Lin Tianchu, who was listening, naturally did not know that the original intention of the X-07 was the seventh ununsolved material, but he was clear about the deep sea cold iron.
I remember that the owner of the Casting Sword Villa told himself that the sword cast by the deep-sea cold iron was extremely sharp, and there was no blood in killing, but it was extremely difficult to cast it. Although the owner of the villa did not say how to cast a sword with deep-sea cold iron in order to keep it secret, Lin Tianchu thought that there were only three swords cast with cold iron in the world, and he knew how difficult it was to make this sword.
"Yes, it's the deep-sea cold iron X-07, but the real strangeness of this sword lies not in its casting material, but in its suction."
"Suction?"
Because Mu Zhengxiong is just an antique businessman and not a martial arts master in Lin Tianchu's era, his adjectives do not have any martial arts flavor, which made Lin Tianchu not understand it for a while, so he had to say that he was puzzled in his heart.
"What suction?" Mu Xuetong was also interested and asked.
"After the verification of experts, although the material of this sword is rare, it should be just a magic soldier who cuts iron like mud. However, it is well known that X-07, deep-sea cold iron is a kind of silver and white stone mineral in the sea, but this sword is not only rusty after 2,000 years, but also the body of the sword is even more red. . " Mu Zhengxiong suddenly frowned as he said, "Those verification experts can't tell the reason, but..."
"But what's wrong?"
Mu Xuetong's words came out at the same time as Lin Tianchu's mind. Both of them were very curious about what was strange about this sword.
"I don't know either. Do you remember the old book I bought two years ago?" Mu Zhengxiong asked, "What about the ancient book that was bought by an American businessman for 3 million euros at last year's auction?"
"What ancient books?" Mu Xuetong recalled carefully that she was still overseas a year ago, so she didn't know much about the business in the group. Suddenly, her mind flashed and her face changed. "Dad, do you mean the book called Wulin Qizhi? That book is written about martial arts events. No matter how I look at it, I think it's a fantasy!"
"Yes, that book should have a history of 800 years. It is written by a person named Tianjizi..." Mu Zhengxiong's words made Lin Tianchu tremble. Tianjizi 800 years ago? Is it known as the heavenly machine of Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng?
Mu Zhengxiong didn't know what Lin Tianchu was thinking. He continued to say what he knew. "I read the book before the auction. The book once mentioned that if you drink too much blood, it will absorb blood. The weapon itself is one point more powerful. If the content of this writing is true, I think this Nan The Yuewang sword is a murderous sword that drinks a lot of blood.
"Really?"
Mu Xuetong can't accept it. How can she accept such a mysterious thing living in modern society?
"Really." Lin Tianchu affirmed in his heart, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with the book written by Bai Xiaosheng. It seems that the sword of the king of Nanyue is definitely a sword in the world."
To be honest, Jianlin Tianchu, the king of Nanyue, didn't know much about it, and even the king of Nanyue didn't know much about it. Just because in his era, Yangcheng was still a wasteland in Lingnan. For a proud Lin'an people like him, he disdained to pay attention to this wasteland, so he only knew that the name of the king of Nanyue was Yue Tuo, and the early Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty. I don't know anything about the rest.
