Master descends to earth

Chapter 33
Although very unwilling, but the fact is true, have to admit.

It was precisely because of this that he and Zhou Zhengwu attached great importance to this test, and tried their best to prevent Su Yuan from becoming a master of swordsmanship. Once the other party became a sword master, the Shen family and Zhou family's plan to control the famous sword villa would definitely fail.

There are five sword masters in total. Zheng Qianli usually plays soy sauce. Although his level is good, he does not have enough voice in Zheng's family. It is only because he has a good relationship with Blind Sword that he stays in Mingjian Villa to retire.

Xu Kui, the black-faced god, is a talented person, with a high level of sword-making, but he seldom talks stupidly, and is basically a stinky and hard stone.There was no response after trying to woo the other party several times, and it seemed that he was following the blind sword man with all his heart.

Needless to say, Liu Quan is a dog slave at all, with good management skills, helping the old blind man with matters big and small.If one person, one vote, Zheng Qianli, Xu Kui, Liu Quan, and the old and immortal Blind Swordsman, he and Zhou Zhengwu would not have any right to speak at all!

Originally, the Shen family could wait, but at worst, in a few years, when the old blind man and Zheng Qianli kicked their legs, when Xu Kui left, only Liu Quan was left, and Mingjian Villa would naturally become his own.

But Su Yuan suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
young and strong,

Very high level,

The most frightening thing is that at such a young age, with a strong city, he can't even play against him!

He must not be allowed to succeed in the position today!

Thinking of this, Shen Cheng put down his teacup, seemingly unintentionally said: "How about Judge Su? From your eyesight, you should already have the answer, right?"

All eyes focused on Su Yuan, and Zhou Zhengwu took the opportunity to suppress him: "Swordsmiths also have to support their families. If they don't understand the market, they will make others laugh, but I believe that with your eyesight, this is not a problem!"

"You can't say it like that!" Zheng Qianli frowned, looked at the five swords, and said dissatisfiedly: "Swords are swords, and buying and selling are buying and selling. They can't be generalized. Especially for sword lovers nowadays, many reputations are greater than quality. Must be higher than our modern people's level?"

"Old Zheng is right!" Liu Quan couldn't help it, and said loudly: "Take Master Xu's rainbow sword from the year before last as an example. It was collected by a senior collector in Hong Kong Island at a high price of 100 million, far exceeding most of the Qing Dynasty. Even ancient swords from the Ming Dynasty, could it be..."

"Boss Liu, this statement is wrong!" Zhou Zhengwu interrupted the other party directly, and said in a deep voice: "The so-called Xiangjian not only requires an understanding of craftsmanship, but also understands the market value, otherwise it will become ridiculed by everyone. mallet?"

"Besides, I'm not trying to make things difficult for others. The question is just to choose the sword with the highest value, not to ask for a specific price. Doesn't Judge Su have this level?"

"You are obviously..."

Liu Quan was overwhelmed, and just about to refute, the blind swordsman waved his hand and said coldly: "Enough, what are you arguing about!"

Everyone had no choice but to shut up. The Blind Swordsman took a deep breath, and after listening to Su Yuan's unchanging breathing, he asked, "Do you have an answer?"

"The Plum Blossom Sword of the Republic of China is of middle-to-high quality, the hilt and scabbard are late match, and the price is about [-] to [-]."

"Dulong sword from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, medium quality, equipped with a hand guard, a masterpiece by Liu Fusheng, a famous Shanghai master, about 15."

"Qing Guangxu's iron sword, the work of Zhou Yuguang, the second generation of the Zhou family, with the original sheath, around 25."

"Qing Xianfeng saber, used by the disciples of the Eight Banners, and equipped with a scabbard. If it goes to auction, it will be worth at least 50 yuan."

"As for the last one..." Under Zhou Zhengwu's incredible expression, Su Yuan slowly picked up the last unattractive blue scabbard, pulled out a seemingly ordinary three-foot long knife, and said with a half-smile: "Qing In the early days, the skillful waist knife was once gifted by Emperor Kangxi to Ni Bilong, so I don’t know if it is considered the most valuable?”

"How could you..."

Zhou Zhengwu's expression changed drastically, and he stared at Su Yuan in disbelief. He had obviously changed his gauntlet and scabbard, and wiped out all the evidence. How could someone know so clearly with just a knife!
"Given by the emperor, the length of the sheath is 94cm, and the length of the knife is 60cm. The scabbard is made of red sandalwood, covered with green shark skin and covered with purple cloth. The earliest owner of this knife was Ye Bilong, one of the four assistant ministers in the early years of Kangxi. , after his death, the knife returned to the palace, if I remember correctly, the Forbidden City still has the same two waist knives, I don’t know if that’s right?”

Su Yuan's sharp eyes fixed on Zhou Zhengwu, how to dig a hole for Lao Tzu?

Let's see who dies fast in the end!
Blind Sword Weng was overjoyed and said loudly: "Liu Quan, announce the answer!"

"No need..." Zhou Zhengwu took a deep breath, clasped his hands together and said, "As expected of being a judge, the answer... is correct!"

"Good guy, it's amazing!" Zheng Qianli picked up his waist knife and studied it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't find any place to prove his identity.However, it was obvious that the gauntlet had been replaced by others, and he understood it instantly, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai: "The so-called evil comes with evil, and I originally wanted to deceive others, but it turned out... hehe!"

Zhou Zhengwu blushed, put away his sword, and said no more, winner and loser, now that Su Yuan has passed the test, what else is there to say?

"Brother Shen, you are the only one left to fight alone!" The blind swordsman looked in a good mood, tapped his fingers on the table, and said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't know Mount Tai, and now only you can turn the tide. I hope we can save the last face of our old fellows."

"Of course I won't let everyone down!" Shen Cheng nodded. There is no need to talk nonsense now, everyone knows it well, turned around and took out two black cloth packages, put them gently on the table, and said with cupped hands: "Su Xiaoyou has superb eyesight. , if you can pass Shen’s last test, you will definitely deserve the title of Master of Swordsman at the Famous Sword Villa.”

Opening the package under the watchful eyes of everyone, everyone stared dumbfounded at the two short knives less than two feet long on the table. This is...

Su Yuan frowned, just happened to be seen by Shen Cheng, secretly happy in his heart, and said calmly on the surface: "I have no intention of getting two ancient bronze knives, I can only roughly tell that they are from the Qin and Han Dynasties, other eyesight is not enough, please give me some advice!"

Liu Quan looked at the two rusty blades in front of him, the blades were full of gaps, like a dying old man, no wonder Shen Cheng had to be careful, if you use any force, it would probably break on the spot!
"Shen Cheng, it's too much!"

Zheng Qianli patted the table, couldn't see it, and said, "Are you testing or archaeological? Who can tell the way of something that has entered the museum?"

"You can't say that, isn't the ancient sword a precious sword?" Shen Cheng looked at Su Yuan's silent expression, which seemed to be troubled, and laughed loudly: "If you want to talk about the craft of sword casting, isn't it handed down from generation to generation in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, Qin and Han Dynasties?" Come?"

Turning around and staring at Blind Swordsman, he forced to ask: "Blind Swordsman, I would like to ask: Is this question wrong?"

The Blind Swordsman frowned, and naturally understood the other party's sinister intentions, but it was hard to stop, the words had already been spoken, could it be...

"That's right, who said ancient knives can't match swords?"

Just when the blind swordsman was in a dilemma, suddenly Su Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed, his eagle-like eyes fixed on the complacent Shen Cheng, and said seriously: "You are right, the so-called phase swordsmanship originally came from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, since you want to see Look, then I will let you open your eyes today!"
