00173 Demon King Muramasa

The samurai sword of 日#本 is a popular meaning [***], in fact, it is the knife of 日#本 in the early days. As for the development of the sword after the Meiji Restoration, it became the later Japanese army sword.

The samurai sword in front of Muratani Taro and Tian Youshimono is the demon king Muramasa.

The blade is more than 70 centimeters long.The inscription on the sword is "Murasho", which was made by Seshu Murasa, a swordsmith in the late Muromachi period. His cutting ability is outstanding, and the Tokugawa family regards it as a symbol of "unlucky" and denounces it as "the demon sword Murasa".

Because it was called a demon sword by the Tokugawa shogunate, it was destroyed and abandoned. Existing Muramasa swords are rare. At that time, Japan was also the fish that the big powers coveted. The rare Muramasa sword was also searched. This demon king Muramasa It was at that time that I went abroad in exile, and after being transferred, I came to the Louvre Museum in France.

Wang Ding has no spare time to pay attention to Japanese samurai swords. For him, the Chinese antiques in the Asian Pavilion have greatly increased his interest.

To say that there are many Chinese treasures in the Asian Pavilion, but they are nothing more than porcelain, jade and so on. However, there is one treasure that aroused Wang Ding's curiosity, because with the guidance of a jade plate, Wang Ding I have to pay attention to this treasure. This is a gold seal, not because it is a gold seal, but the words on it are the king of Hanwonu.

King of Hanwonu?

The appearance of this golden seal has to cheer Wang Ding up. Just now, Taro Muratani talked about conquering China, but in fact, Japan finally lost to China. It is a vassal of China.

"Zhang Bi, I found a treasure. This treasure, we must discuss it with the curator and buy it back."

Wang Ding deliberately amplified his voice, and Zhang Bi asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Is this..."

"You can't buy anything back." Before Wang Ding could speak, Taro Muratani said sarcastically. "Chinese, I said you are so simple. Do you think that we can discuss with the curator to bring the samurai sword back to the motherland, and you can redeem the treasures of your own country from here? There are two reasons for redeeming the treasures here. The political friendship between countries is political activities, and the second is non-governmental commercial activities, and commercial activities are spent on money, but if you buy it with money, how can such a national treasure-level cultural relic be bought by a small person like you? started."

"Really? Small characters like us can't afford it, but I can take a look first. Zhang Bi, come and take a look at this treasure. Sally, you can take a look too, it's really a good thing. "

Zhang Bi and Sally walked towards the treasure together, and when they got close to the golden seal, Sally smiled resolutely. "This... This should be given to Japan by China in ancient times. No, it was also called the golden seal of the Japanese country at that time."

"Yes! The seal of the king of Hanwonu, this is the golden seal given to the king of Wa by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty. At that time, Wa came to pay tribute to China every year, and the Emperor Guangwu of China at that time gave them a seal. This golden seal is a witness to history. What a cultural relic. At that time, Wa Kingdom was a subsidiary of China.”

When Zhang Bi said this, Muratani Taro and Tian Gang Shimono rushed over.

When the two Japanese #people really saw the golden seal, their complexions suddenly turned sallow.

"Why is this thing here?"

"It's really a disgrace to our Yamato nation, no, we're going to destroy it."

"Hey, what are you doing, how can you destroy the cultural relics in our Louvre museum casually. Don't be too presumptuous." Sally warned.

"That's right, the seal of the king of the Han Dynasty is a treasure. It has important research value and significance for our descendants to understand that #Japan was once a vassal state of our China. This is comparable to the Japanese who took the ugly war as their honor." much more real."

"You don't want to bring this back to China. I can't destroy the golden seal of the Han and Japanese Nu Kingdom here. I can buy it and destroy it. It is absolutely impossible for you to get it!"

Muratani Taro said viciously, and Tian Gang Shimono was also full of hatred for Wang Ding at this moment, his fist was clenched like a sandbag again, if he was not still in the Louvre, he must have rushed over.

"Wang Ding, we want to buy this treasure for the motherland."

"Yes, I will also intercede with the curator on your behalf, but I can't ask them to destroy this cultural relic." Sally pouted and snorted.

"It's the curator." Sally just mentioned Brewer, and Brewer had already walked over with his big belly.

And the annoying Druid followed Brewer, holding a Western fan and creating cool wind for him beside Brewer.

"Curator, these two are waiting for you."

The Druids respected the two Japanese #people very much, but they didn't take Wang Ding seriously.When the curator arrived, Muratani Taro and Tianoka Shimono straightened their clothes and greeted them respectfully.

Standing still, Taro Muratani smiled and looked at the director of the Louvre, Breuer.

"Hello, Mr. Brewer, we are Japanese tourists from afar. My name is Taro Muratani."

"My name is Tian Gang Shimono."

"Please advise!"

It was another set of bowing and nodding politely, Wang Ding didn't see it at first, but it was disgusting after watching too much.

Brewer pushed his hand, and immediately distanced himself from the two, and said coldly, "I heard from the druid that you want to redeem a samurai sword from your country?"

"Yes, thank you Mr. Druid for your advice, Director Brewer, it is indeed the case. Because there is a collection of our Japanese Demon King Muramasa sword in your museum. This samurai sword is very important to our country. It's very important, I think if possible, please ask the curator to sell this treasure so that I can take it back to my homeland."

"But the treasures in our Louvre Museum are not sold casually." Breuer shook his head, and walked towards the Yaowangcunzheng knife with his hands behind his back, talking as he walked. "This sword is a long sword from the Tokugawa shogunate period in Japan. Not only is it the only one in France, it is difficult to find the same Muramasa sword in your country and in the world. It stands to reason Say, our government supports businessmen from the countries where the treasures belong to come here to bid for their own treasures, so I can’t say that it must not be possible, but I think it’s better to keep such Muramasa swords in our museum for the appreciation of people all over the world. If you buy them It's too expensive, too expensive."

Brewer sighed and shook his head again and again, but Taro Muratani didn't care about the price. "Mr. Brewer, don't say you won't sell it, since your country's government has made such a good show that you can ask us to redeem it, but I really don't care if the price is higher.

Why don't you just make a price. Although it is a treasure, it is still just a knife after all.If I could, I would offer 30 euros to redeem this katana, Mr. Breuer, what do you think? "

Muratani Taro is indeed a rich man, he casually said 30 euros, and the Druid was already shocked.But it is true that Breuer is a person who has seen big winds and waves, and 30 euros does not have much temptation for him. "For 30 euros, I think it's better to forget it. I think it's better to keep it in our museum."

"The 50 euros, Mr. Brewer, what do you think? This samurai sword is only made of jade steel, so 50 euros is definitely a lot." Taro Muratani asked again.

50 euros, a samurai sword, as Muratani Taro said, this price is definitely worth the money.Brewer smiled with satisfaction, but also straightforward.

"Okay, our museum is for your countries. Since it is a treasure of your country and you sincerely take it back, what do I, the curator, say. It's a deal of 50 euros!"

Brewer was a little impatient, but when Muratani Taro finalized this deal, he couldn't ignore another treasure. "Mr. Brewer, I actually want to buy another treasure, so you have to sell this one to me."

"Oh, what else?"

Brewer was also very curious.

"It is this golden seal."

Muratani Taro pointed in the direction of Wang Ding, and Breuer saw that the place surrounded by Wang Ding, Zhang Bi and Sally was a golden seal of the Hanwonu King.

Needless to say, Muratani Taro wanted to buy this thing, and Brewer knew why.

"Hello, curator, I'm Wang Ding. You were busy when you came here today, so I didn't pay a visit. I'm sorry."

"Hi, I'm Zhang Bi, and I came to study at the Louvre in Paris with Wang Ding."

Both Wang Ding and Zhang Bi warmly shook hands with Brewer, and Brewer was also very generous. "It's nothing, it's nothing, I knew you were coming, because I was busy, I arranged for Druid and Sally to receive you. Are you okay?"

"It's okay, okay." Wang Ding said with a smile, but the next second changed the topic sharply. "However, Director Brewer, I have to tell you one thing, that is, I have also taken a fancy to this gold seal, and I want to buy it too. Moreover, I am Chinese, and this gold seal is Chinese, so you You can't sell it to that Japanese #person."

"what?"

Wang Ding's words made Breuer a little embarrassed. In fact, selling to Muratani Taro was Breuer's first idea, because Muratani Taro was rich and powerful enough.

But with Wang Ding's entry, Breuer couldn't sell the gold seal so hastily.Especially in front of me, I said that this treasure will be sold to the country to which it belongs. This is a hole I dug for myself, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

"This, logically speaking, I should sell it to you. But Taro Muratani..."

"Curator, I want to buy this gold seal, it doesn't matter how much it is." Taro Muratani said seeing Breuer hesitating.

"Curator, don't you just turn a blind eye to the regulations you said and turn a deaf ear to them? Didn't you say that the cultural relics are only sold to the country to which the cultural relics belong? Why do you still want to sell them to him?"

"No." Brewer was forced to say helplessly, "Of course not to sell to him. Wang Ding, I can sell this treasure to you, but I won't lower the price, so if you can't get it, then If there is too much money, there is nothing I can do to help."

"It's okay, tell me, how much is this treasure?" (To be continued.)
