Chapter 457 Listening to the Sword(1/2)
Next to the busiest official road in Pei County, a new store was opened, called Zangbaolou.
There are swords, guqins, and jade bis in the store. They look jewel-like and gorgeous. What is even more rare is that everything has been used by celebrities.
Therefore, the price is extremely high.
In fact, these things are all fake.
The owner of the shop is Liu Ji, who has married Lu Gong's daughter Lu Zhi.
He still doesn't do his job properly and basically doesn't go to the fields to do farm work. Instead, he leads a group of little brothers to launder money all day long.
After three or five days, they would find a new face and buy antiques with a lot of gold and silver.
Of course, this innocent face is not a good person, either a idle gangster or a thief with a criminal record.
These people have not wiped their butts clean, so there is little possibility of leaking the news. What's more, Liu Ji and his group are fierce and have a lot of people. If those gangsters want to cause trouble, they have to consider it.
Every time Liu Ji finished washing the money, he would give the gangster some rewards. The carrots and sticks were arranged clearly.
Over time, Liu Ji's store has become famous.
Many people in Pei County know that there are often wealthy businessmen from other places who come to Liu Ji to buy antiques.
In addition, Liu Ji was the son-in-law of Lu Gong. Lu Gong was also quite famous in Pei County, so everyone believed in Wu and Wu, thinking that Liu Ji should also be more credible.
So local people from Pei County often come to visit.
There are also some people who are blind and buy some antiques.
Liu Ji was also helpless. He opened this store not to deceive the villagers, but why are these people so stupid?
It is simply unforgivable that these fools don’t make money.
So Liu Ji asked Fan Kuai to go to Lin County to buy an extra batch of goods...
Not long ago, a wealthy man named Erhuo came to be accustomed to the elegance of the county.
I am nearly forty years old, and my family's property is passed down from my ancestors. I have no talent, but I like to daydream.
I always want to make achievements and leave my name in history.
I heard that Liu Ji has many things that heroes have used here, so I really want to watch and feel the aura of heroes.
But after looking at it, Erhuo always felt something was wrong.
He questioned Liu Ji: "Why do these things look a bit inferior?"
Liu Ji was too lazy to explain because he didn't open a store to do business, so he said coldly: "When the hero was not successful, he was short of money and naturally could not afford good things."
"However, after this thing is used by a hero, it is contaminated with heroic spirit. Even ordinary plants and trees have spirituality, which is extraordinary."
"For example, this broken sword looks rusty, but in fact, you can hear the roar of dragons and tigers when hanging in the room at night."
Erhuo was frightened and stunned: "Take it serious?"
Liu Ji nodded: "Anyone who can make a achievements can hear it when the destiny of heaven returns."
Erhuo was fascinated by the sound of his heart and asked, "How much does this sword cost?"
Liu Ji said: "This sword is the sword worn by Wu Qi in the past, which absorbs the heroic spirit. After you buy it, you can wear it with your hands close to it. Over time, you can use troops like a god. Therefore... it costs 100,000 yuan."
Erhuo took a breath of air conditioning: "It's expensive, it's expensive."
Although his family is rich, he is not as rich as one hundred thousand yuan at a time.
Liu Ji widened his eyes and said, "In Xianyang City, a glass of wine in the exiled immortal sold 100,000 yuan. Is this a heroic sword? Is it expensive for 100,000 yuan?"
"So you buy the sword back. If you can't hear the dragon roar, I can return the money to you."
When Erhuo heard this, his eyes lit up: If he could retreat, he would feel much more at ease.
But he soon hesitated again, "One hundred thousand yuan is still too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"
Liu Ji sighed: "Forget it, you are so sincere, you will give you a hundred yuan cheaper. 109,900 yuan, how about it?"
Erhuo grinned and said carefully: "How about 20,000 yuan?"
Liu Ji sighed: "Forget it, 20,000 yuan is 20,000 yuan."
Erhuo was overjoyed. But for a moment he was happy, and felt like he had been slaughtered.
But Liu Ji's hand quickly took out a wooden box, put the sword in, and handed it to Erhuo: "Below, you see that you have a mighty appearance, extraordinary appearance, and a noble appearance, so you want to make a good relationship with you. If you can be rich in the future, don't forget me."
When Erhuo heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He held the sword and left with a smile.
After Erhuo left, Fan Kuai said to Liu Ji with a smile: "Brother, this sword has been sold, not only has it been sold, but it has also made a lot of money."
Liu Ji glanced at Fan Kuai and said unhappily: "Next time when you purchase goods, please keep some magic and don't collect any rags."
"Do you know how much effort I have spent to change your broken hatchet into a sword?"
Fan Kuai laughed dryly and said in a low voice: "When the hero has not yet made his fortune, don't he also use a hatchet?"
Liu Ji looked speechless: "When the hero has not yet made his fortune, he still pisses and mud. Can you sell that thing? You said there is heroic spirit in this mud. Does anyone believe it? At least the things we sell should be like that."
Fan Kuai scratched his head and agreed.
After Erhuo returned home with his sword, he put on an incense table and offered respectfully.
Pei County is not big, and the circle of wealthy people is even smaller. There is a little disturbance, and everyone can hear it.
The news that Erhuo bought a sword quickly spread to the rich. These people gathered in Erhuo's house to visit the sword.
Erhuo welcomed everyone proudly, then stood up Wu Qi's tablet, bowed a few times before taking out the sword.
Everyone was a little puzzled when they saw the rusty sword.
I thought it was a sword with cold light, why... this sword is so ugly?
Erhuo looked at these people with contempt, and he explained: "This sword was used by the God of War Wu Qi when he was not yet successful. At first, it was indeed an ordinary thing, but after being around the hero for a long time, it was contaminated with the aura of heroes."
"Hang it in the room at night, and wait until midnight, listen carefully and you can hear the sound of tigers and dragons."
The rich all looked shocked: "There is such a magical thing in the world?"
Er said with a sense of intention: "This is natural. But... only those who are born rich and have strategies in their hearts and can make achievements can hear it."
Everyone was very curious and said, "Since that's the case, then we might as well listen to it and know what our future destiny will be like."
Erhuo thought about it and nodded in agreement.
That night, they kept drinking until the lights were held, and then waited for midnight.
Time passed little by little, and it finally arrived in the middle of the night...
The room was very quiet, and many people even held their breath and didn't even dare to breathe. They could hear it when a needle fell down.
Erhuo was closest to the sword, but he heard nothing.
Erhouxin was a little panicked: What's going on? Am I born a mediocre person and never have to work hard to improve in my life?
He rubbed his ears hard and listened carefully, but still heard nothing.
At this moment, I felt a little disappointed.
All the ideals and ambitions of so many years have been completed.
If you are not satisfied with talent, and you are destined to be like this, what can you do?
Erhuo really wants to drink and recite poems.
Suddenly, his heart moved: Is it a problem with this sword?
So he whispered to the rich man beside him: "Did you hear it?"
The rich man is also in the confusion of life.
He heard Erhuo's question, and because of his vanity, he nodded slowly: "I heard that the dragon roar was loud and gentle, and it was breathtaking."
Erhuo's heart became even more bitter.
The other powerful man next to him was a little sour, but he didn't want to admit that he wanted to live a mediocre life, so he barely cheered up and echoed: "I heard it below, the dragon roar and the tiger roar were mixed together, majestic, like thousands of troops."
These two people asked Erhuo: "Where are you?"
Erhuo was embarrassed to admit that he couldn't hear it, so he could only nod.
He didn't know what the sound of the dragon roar was. But the two rich people had already described it before. So Erhuo slightly expanded their words to avoid being incompatible with the number.
He said as confidently as possible: "I heard it below. The dragon roar is strong and powerful, with vitality and a solemn atmosphere. I seemed to see Wu Qi, who led thousands of troops, and I couldn't help but yearn for it."
Another rich man nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother Er has done this and he just happened to say what he said in his heart."
One person said, "That's right, it seems that he has seen thousands of troops."
Soon, all the powerful described what they heard. It was basically the same as what Erhuo said.
Erhuo breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Fortunately, there was no revealing the content.
At this time, Yong Chi, who was helping the servant in the mansion, came in.
Someone joked with the servant: "Let me hear, what's the sound of this sword?"
Yong Chi looked puzzled, leaned over and listened, and said, "There is no sound."
