Most people's impression of the Mongolian Golden Sabre came from Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Inside, Guo Jing killed two birds with one stone. Tie Muzhen was overjoyed and gave Guo Jing a golden saber.
He wanted Guo Jing to be Golden Saber's son-in-law.
In fact, there was indeed a golden saber tradition in the Yuan Meng era.
However, the golden sabers that were unearthed were all gilded, plated, and inlaid with gold.
The hilt of a real golden saber from the Yuan Meng era was unearthed in Shanbei Province. It was hollow, and the wood inside had already decayed.
It was made using the lost wax method.
However, that item had been taken by some bastard to the Daiying Kingdom and was stored in the Daiying Museum.
The shape of the saber was made according to the scabbard.
The hilt of the saber was made according to the handle of the golden saber.
However, Lin Xuan did not know that he only knew that this saber was newly made.
"Is this knife new?"
The middle-aged man said," The saber is new. Take a closer look at my scabbard. It's an old item."”
When the middle-aged man said this, his heart ached.
Back then, after he obtained the golden saber scabbard, he did not sell it.
Instead, he made a golden saber and prepared to sell it.
However, Golden Sabre was new, and others could tell at a glance.
Others only wanted the scabbard.
The body of this golden saber weighed eight pounds, and six pounds of gold was used.
Back then, he had spent 630,000 yuan on materials alone.
Including the labor cost of the production master, the cost of the production was as high as one million.
Now that he had sold the scabbard and not the saber, he could not figure it out.
That was why he had not made a move.
Whenever they met rich tourists, they would promote them.
"Three years ago, the expert offered three million for my scabbard. At that time, the production cost of my saber was one million.”
"Now the price of gold has doubled, from 200 to 370.”
"Two million isn't too much, right?"
"If you pay five million, I'll sell this saber to you.”
"Let me see."
Lin Xuan took the golden saber and pulled it out.
This guy actually made a real golden saber.
It was a complete ornament without any practical value.
If it was just a golden hilt and dragon bone, the blade would be made of steel, engraved with patterns from the Yuan Meng era, and inlaid with gold, it might sell better.
Lin Xuan thought for a moment,"Three million for this scabbard is a little too much. How about this? I'll take it for 4.8 million."”
The middle-aged man was overjoyed." Let me say this first. The scabbard is a real antique. The saber is made of gold, but it's a modern artifact.”
"If you really do trade, don't say that I'm lying to you.”
"We signed the contract and traded in the name of the artwork. The contract definitely won't blame you."”
The middle-aged man was an experienced antique dealer."Alright!"
After more than ten minutes, the transaction was completed.
Lin Xuan chuckled and placed the knife into the bag given by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man said," Haha, that's great. I'll give you another treasure."”
The middle-aged man carried out a jar of wine.
"This is real horse milk wine, not the kind of white wine that tastes like horse milk.”
"Horse milk white wine isn't pure. It can't be kept for long.”
"This kind of real horse milk wine can be kept for a long time. This jar of mine has been kept for six years. Although it's not expensive, it's very rare.”
"Haha, you're welcome."
" I specialize in the antique business in Mongolia," the middle-aged man said." If you come to Mongolia again, come and find me. I might have something new."”
"Alright, I'll definitely come if there's a chance."”
"System, change the production date of this golden saber to 1210.”
Ding! Golden Saber Year 2013 was changed to Golden Saber Year 1210.
" It's been so long. What did you buy?" Wang Ruoya asked after leaving the courtyard.”
Lin Xuan handed the bag to Wang Ruoya.
Wang Ruoya took a look and immediately covered the bag.
She put it into her bag and hid it before whispering.
"No way. You can buy such a national treasure?”
"Golden Sabre from 800 years ago?!!”
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows,"How can you tell that it was 800 years ago?"”
"That's too simple," Wang Ruoya said.
"In the beginning, Yuan Meng's own saber was a small scimitar. Later, he attacked Dajin with the Song army and learned the characteristics of the Song saber.”
"It became a straight blade."
"Later on, when we attacked Central Asia, we learned the characteristics of the Arabian sword.”
"Every time the Mongol army conquers a place, they will absorb the advantages of the local weapons. Therefore, in just two hundred years, Yuan Meng has changed the style of his saber six times.”
"This style is the characteristic of the Temujin era!”
Lin Xuan chuckled,"What if it's fake?”
"Impossible!" Wang Ruoya said," Eight-hundred-year-old wood is embedded in the golden saber. There are no signs of being burned recently."”
"There are all kinds of gemstones on the scabbard. There are organic gemstones on it.”
"Take it and test it. You'll get the results.”
"It's said that it has been tested. People in the industry can tell at a glance that this thing is a treasure that has truly experienced 800 years of wind and rain!”
Lin Xuan smiled.”
Wang Ruoya thought for a moment." In the overseas collection industry, the ancient swords of the Dragon Country are very popular.”
"The best of the modern imitations can be sold for 100,000 dollars overseas.”
"This saber from the late Song Dynasty is worth at least a few hundred million.”
Lin Xuan chuckled,"Keep it well. Before you leave this place, don't let others know about this."”
Wang Ruoya: " Nonsense. Don't even mention that this is an antique knife. Just this big piece of gold alone can't be seen by others."”
The two of them returned to the camp.
At this moment, He Meng was collecting some local specialties, food, and other things.
After that, they would have to travel for three days in the direction parallel to the national border to reach Abreu's hometown.
There weren't many supply points along the way.
Because of the depopulated area, the driving time was fixed every day.
There was no way to travel more, and there was no way to travel less.
Therefore, he had to prepare more food and drinks.
Seeing the two of them, He Meng said,"This bow is not bad. It's an old ox horn bow."”
"Abreu went to find someone to buy food. He said that this place is very good at roast beef, horse meat sausages, and so on.”
Zhuang Tong came out of the RV and closed the mosquito screen door.
"Hey, did you buy a bow?"
Lin Xuan handed the 40-pound composite bow to Zhuang Tong,"Play this."
Zhuang Tong: " Uh, your hand is prettier. I want to play this one."”
Lin Xuan and He Meng looked at each other, and He Meng laughed,"You can't pull this bullhorn bow.”
A sixty-pound bow, and when he pulled it open, his hands had to bear the pull of more than fifty pounds.
It didn't sound like much, but on the other side of the string, a force of more than 50 pounds would be exerted on the knuckles.
It was impossible to forcefully pull him.
"No, it doesn't look that heavy. Let me pull it." Zhuang Tong insisted on trying.
Lin Xuan handed over the bull-horn bow.
Zhuang Tong released her grip after a second."This…"
"Zhuang Tong, it's a little hard for you to pull a 40-pound composite bow. I'll teach you archery in the afternoon."”
"You can't pull it forcefully without using techniques.”
"Alright…" Zhuang Tong was speechless.
