Chapter 865 Selling Swords
Zhou Wen watched from the side for a while and finally figured out what Liuyun was arguing with the old man.
Liuyun insisted on buying the old man's bronze sword, but the old man refused to sell it no matter what. Since one insisted on buying and the other refused to sell, they started arguing.
It’s not that the old man really doesn’t want to sell it, but the old man insists on using the bronze sword to exchange for the mythical companion pet, otherwise he won’t sell it no matter how much money you offer.
The old man also said that his bronze sword was dug out from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor before the dimensional storm, and it was the sword of the First Qin Emperor.
Naturally, no one believed this. Even if it was really the sword of the First Emperor, it would not be valuable in today's era and could only be considered an antique at best.
But the old man insisted on exchanging the sword for the mythical companion pet. Liuyun didn't know what he was thinking. He insisted on buying the sword, but he couldn't afford the mythical companion pet.
"Something's wrong. How could a shameless guy like Liuyun go to buy a sword so honestly, let alone make a fuss here? If he really wanted the sword, he should have stolen it secretly... What on earth does this guy want to do?" Zhou Wen thought to himself.
"How about I give you three epic bronze companion eggs in exchange for your sword?" Liuyun said to the old man.
"Don't even mention three, I won't exchange it even if it's ten." The old man was very stubborn. He held the bronze sword tightly and his neck was harder than a steel pipe.
When others heard that Liuyun wanted to exchange three bronze man companion eggs for such a broken bronze sword, they were all very surprised.
"How about five? This is all my wealth." Liuyun said, and took out five companion eggs and placed them in front of the old man.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it. Few locals were unfamiliar with the Bronze Man's Companion Egg. Even if they had not held it in their own hands, they must have seen it.
The five companion eggs that Liuyun took out were undoubtedly bronze men.
"Hey, young man, you have five bronze companion eggs. You can exchange them for any good things, so why do you have to exchange them for his broken sword?" said a person next to him.
Everyone agreed. The Bronze Man Companion Egg was famous, but the production was limited, so the price was high. Even the old man who had been setting up the stall here had never seen five of them at once.
"It's nothing else, I just like that sword and think it might be a treasure." Liuyun said casually.
"Of course this is a treasure. If you want it, you can exchange it for a mythical companion pet. Otherwise, nothing I say will be of any use." The old man still spoke very firmly.
Everyone thought that Liuyun and the old man were both mentally ill, Liuyun was a prodigal son, and the old man was a fool.
"Hey, young man, I have a sword here that is similar to his. If you want it, I'll sell it to you along with five bronze companion eggs." A big man squeezed up next to him, looked at the five bronze companion eggs on the ground, swallowed, and said to Liuyun.
"What I want is the sword dug out from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor. Do you think I want any sword?" Liuyun said with a sneer.
"I don't like what you said. This sword of mine was a treasure dug out from the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor by my great-grandfather." The big man said hurriedly.
"Is this true?" Liuyun looked at the sword in his hand with some disbelief.
Sure enough, the two ancient swords are very similar, with some slight differences, but overall, they should be works from the same period.
"Of course it's true, definitely truer than that old man's." The big man said, patting his chest.
The old man said coldly, "Don't be greedy for small gains. It will lead to big losses. What's the point of spending five companion eggs on a fake one?"
"Old man, who are you calling the fake? You are the fake." The big man said angrily.
Liuyun laughed and said to the old man, "Old man, you are not regretting it, are you? It's too late for you to regret it now. I won't buy your sword. Let's see who else will offer such a high price."
As he spoke, Liuyun pushed the five companion eggs towards the big man and said to him, "Don't worry about whether you are real or fake, I will buy yours and make that old ghost regret it."
The big man was overjoyed and quickly took the bronze man's companion egg. He was still not at ease, so he asked someone to help him identify it. After confirming that it was the bronze man's companion egg, he handed the ancient sword to Liuyun.
"Old man, you'll regret it here slowly." Liuyun said and walked away.
Zhou Wen put on his invisible cloak and followed quietly.
Liuyun did not go to the town. Instead, he turned a corner and ran into a nearby grove, where he sat on the roots of a big tree and smoked.
After a while, the old man who had sold swords before sneaked into the woods.
When Zhou Wen saw the old man, he immediately realized that the two guys were in the same group and had done so much just to get the big man to sell the sword.
The big man was a free hunter who entered the dimensional realm, not a stall seller. They definitely wanted the big man's sword, but it was not convenient for them to buy it directly from Daliu, so they set up such a trap.
"What on earth is that ancient sword that is worth Liuyun spending so much time on?" Zhou Wen quietly looked at the ancient sword in Liuyun's arms.
"How is it? Is it real?" the old man asked Liuyun after he came in.
"Yes, it's the real thing. With this sword, we can enter the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor." Liuyun said.
"Let me see." The old man said as he tried to get the sword.
Liuyun retracted his hand, preventing the old man from touching the sword, and said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? Didn't we agree that I'll hold the sword and open the door, and we'll divide the things equally after we go back in. The sword is in my hand, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."
"I'm not afraid that you've been cheated, so I want to help you open your eyes and see if that's the real Qin Emperor Sword." The old man said with an unchanged expression.
"I, Liuyun, have always been the only one who can deceive others. No one can deceive me. Don't worry." Liuyun held the ancient sword and asked the old man, "When will we start?"
"The sooner the better. If you are ready, we will do it tonight," said the old man.
"Okay, then it's settled. We'll meet outside the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor tonight." Liuyun said and turned to leave.
The old man watched Liuyun's back disappear before turning and leaving.
Zhou Wen secretly looked at the direction the old man left, but he seemed to be thinking about something. He always felt that the old man seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere, but looking at his face and figure, he seemed to have no impression of him.
"This old man...could he be Jing Daoxian..." Zhou Wen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and figured out why he had that sense of déjà vu.
Because the temperament that this old man occasionally reveals is very similar to Jing Daoxian, but his appearance and figure are different.
"Changing appearance and figure should not be difficult for Jing Daoxian. I think he is most likely Jing Daoxian. But how come he is involved with Liuyun? What do the two of them want to do in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?" Zhou Wen was full of curiosity.
