The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Guanglong Sword Manual.

The second manager stayed behind in the shop alone.

Old Pei just went out with Hong Shan, saying that something happened in Jiajiazhuang.

It was bustling outside, but she had to stay behind.

This made her feel somewhat melancholy.

She could only idly wipe the swords and knives in the shop, and then fiddle with the antiques on the shelves.

Finally, I started brewing tea and just sat there in a daze.

Yi Qianxiao was in Jiajiazhuang, and now so many people from the martial arts world were heading towards Jiajiazhuang, which made her somewhat uneasy.

Soon, the spring water was boiled, steam rose, and the aroma of tea filled the air.

The shopkeeper poured himself a cup of tea, intending to take a sip.

Suddenly, a clear, tinkling sound of bells rang out from the gate.

This is the bell hanging at the shop entrance. Whenever a customer pushes open the door to enter the shop, the bell will ring.

Do you really expect to get business so late at night?

The second manager looked up and immediately recognized that the person who walked in was a young woman.

Although she was shrouded in a black robe, it couldn't hide her graceful figure.

The other party clearly had no intention of hiding their identity; after entering the house, they immediately pulled down the cloak covering their head.

To the second manager's surprise, the girl was very pretty, but her brows revealed a strong sense of heroism!

What the second manager cared about most was the long sword hanging at the other party's waist!

Judging from the style of the hilt, this weapon does not belong to any sect in the Central Plains!

It also does not belong to the weaponry system of the Longwu Dynasty or the Kushan Empire!

This looks like a Japanese sword!

Looking at the girl's head, there's a coral hairpin tied in her hair bun!

This type of hairpin is not commonly seen in the Central Plains region!

Clearly, this is a girl from Japan!

interesting!

Although Japan also had business dealings with the Great Jing Dynasty and the Longwu Dynasty, most of them were large caravans, and there were not many people like the one who was alone now.

Those who act alone are mostly combat-oriented individuals such as Japanese swordsmen, ronin, and ninjas.

What does someone like that want to do here?

The second manager put down his teacup and looked over.

After entering the sword shop, the Japanese girl first looked around the layout of Guanglong Sword Shop with a wary expression, then walked up to the second shopkeeper and said, "I heard that this place can appraise fine swords."

The other person spoke a very stiff and difficult Central Plains dialect, with a strong Japanese accent.

“That’s right, we do have this business.” The second manager nodded.

In addition to selling and buying back swords, Guanglong Sword Shop can also appraise swords.

With the second manager's discerning eye, he could tell at a glance whether a sword was good or not.

Look at this.

The girl reached into her cloak and pulled out a short sword wrapped in black cloth, which she then placed on the counter.

When Erzhang reached out and picked it up, he felt it was heavy in his hands. It was a foot and a half long and exuded a cold aura. The hilt was simple and unadorned, inlaid with a piece of white ancient jade. Apart from this piece of ancient jade, the whole sword was dark and shiny.

Upon drawing the short sword, one could see very clear lines on its blade. These lines crisscrossed and seemed to form an image of a fairy walking on the sea, which was quite vivid.

Very peculiar.

Aside from this feature, there wasn't a single scratch on the blade. However, the hilt and the inlaid ancient jade clearly showed that it had been handled frequently and had already begun to develop a patina!

"Aside from the peculiar patterns on the blade, there's nothing particularly special about this sword. Judging from the material, it's deep-sea black iron, so it should be a good sword," the second manager said after taking a look.

Deep-sea black iron is generally taken from the seabed of the far north. This kind of iron has been in the extremely yin dragon's lair on the seabed for many years. It has been eroded by the high pressure of seawater. What is left is the essence of iron. It has a very high density and is full of seawater aura. If this kind of iron is put into a small pond, it can turn all the fresh water in it into seawater.

If you made it into a sword, you could put it in a room during the hot summer and it would be a natural air conditioner that could lower the temperature by ten degrees!

Of course, these uses are better than nothing for a martial arts practitioner, since swords are still meant for fighting in the martial arts world.

As long as it's tough and sharp, that's enough.

"A fine sword? Is that all?" The girl frowned slightly, her tone suggesting she was somewhat unwilling to accept it.

The second shopkeeper picked up the sword in front of him again, stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the cold blade, then flicked it lightly!

"Ding!!!"

The sword emitted a clear, ringing sound!

Her voice is very pleasant to hear.

Tapping the hilt again, it didn't seem to be hollow or have any mechanisms.

After a long silence, the second manager suddenly had an idea. His son-in-law seemed to be collecting precious ironware. Deep-sea black iron was a rare find. If the other party was willing to make a move, it would be a good thing.

Thinking of this, the second shopkeeper smiled and said, "This Deep Sea Black Iron Sword, although precious, doesn't have any hidden secrets. If you're willing to part with it, I'm willing to buy it at a high price—one hundred gold pieces, how about it?"

As he spoke, the second manager secretly observed the Japanese woman's reaction.

One hundred gold coins is considered a high price, enough to ensure an ordinary person's financial security for ten lifetimes.

Unexpectedly, the woman in front of him remained unmoved. Instead, she stepped forward and asked, "Is there really no mechanism inside this sword? Or is there some message left behind?"

The second manager was somewhat puzzled.

Government agency? Information?

Did the other party think there was some treasure map hidden on this sword?

Recently, the legend of the Great Qing Martial God Temple has been circulating in the martial arts world, but it's impossible that there are treasures everywhere in Japan.

Speaking of which, all sorts of treasure maps often circulate in Yilan County, but most of them are just tricks used by swindlers to make money.

The Japanese woman in front of me must be new here and has been fooled.

“Young lady, I never lie. There are no mechanisms on this sword, nor is there any information left behind,” the second shopkeeper said sincerely.

To everyone's surprise, the Japanese woman shook her head repeatedly after hearing this: "That's impossible!"

The second shopkeeper shrugged. "I know you might be disappointed to hear this. But this sword is indeed good, nothing special. I'll offer one hundred and fifty gold coins, how about it?"
