"Mr. Li, Mr. Li." A young leader of the Cultural Affairs Bureau shouted softly. Unexpectedly, he still had time to lose focus in front of so many people.

Li Mo came back to his senses, put his golden nanmu sword box on the conference table and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking that before the sword competition started, our sword boxes were already different. It's true.

It will never be real and can only be made of ordinary wood as a sword box."

Either he is in a daze and is distracted, or he is full of anger when he wants to speak, without giving the other party any face at all.

Master and apprentice Sima Haotian were so angry that their mentality collapsed at that time. They looked calm and composed at first. Although they also saw that the sword box Li Mo was carrying was made of golden nanmu, that was not the point after all. The point was

The comparison is with swords.

But I never thought that he would just come up and start shooting. He had to start with the sword box to compare. Sure enough, he was not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods. One was a modern handicraft sword box made of Hainan yellow rosewood, and the other was made of golden nanmu.

Sword boxes, even if they are modern handicrafts, are much more expensive than huanghuali wood.

Moreover, many of the people present are experts and professors with a lot of knowledge. Just by looking at the coating of the sword box from a distance, I can tell that the golden nanmu sword box is definitely an old thing, and may even be a treasure passed down from the palace of the Qing Dynasty, because

In the Qing Dynasty, golden nanmu was a royal tribute, and anyone else using it would be punished by death for the entire family.

Many people had an idea in their minds. Before the official appraisal began, the momentum of Sima Haotian and others weakened.

"Mr. Li, we are inviting experts today to identify the authenticity of the Nine Dragons Sword. We are not here to make fun of you. It is still unknown who is authentic and who is fake. Don't be too happy too early." Pei Yanyan said with a slight snort.

He is very hostile to Li Mo.

"Who are you?"

Li Mo looked at her disdainfully and asked.

"You...you go too far." Pei Yanyan almost jumped up in anger. She had only met him two days ago, and now she turned her back and pretended not to know.

"sit down."

Sima Haotian returned to that calm state, his eyes full of fighting spirit. A few years ago, he was defeated at the hands of Li Mo. He was unable to resist and was defeated with humiliation. Now, he faced Li Mo again.

Mo, thought he had given up everything a long time ago, but when they actually met, he suddenly discovered that Li Mo in front of him seemed to have become stronger again.

Pei Yanyan sat down angrily, looking at Li Mo with hatred.

Li Mo grinned at her, showing his neat white teeth, which were in sharp contrast to his tanned skin.

"Mr. Li, the main purpose of calling everyone together today is to identify who is holding the authentic Nine Dragons Sword, so why not wait until the end of the verbal dispute to compete?" Qin Yali is a superior leader in the Cultural Management Bureau.

The Central Consulting Bureau was the first person in charge, so he had to bite the bullet and say it when the atmosphere was very tense.

"Gu Bureau is right, I don't want to waste everyone's time. Wasting time is wasting life, and that is a particularly shameful behavior." Li Mo nodded affirmatively, and then put the golden nanmu sword box on the conference table.

He sat down gently and said, "Experts, let's appraise my Nine Dragons Sword first."

Gently push the sword box and slide it to the front of Gu Jing.

Director Gu opened the sword box and saw the long sword inside, his expression suddenly became extremely ugly. He looked at Zhu Changping from Beijing University and Professor Yu from Qingda University and said, "Two of you come first?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Changping shook his head and said with great seriousness: "I authenticated it years ago and found it to be the genuine Nine Dragons Sword."

Professor Da Yu of the Qing Dynasty also said: "I have also authenticated it and found it to be genuine."

Director Gu looked at the other experts. The two experts from the Palace Museum smiled and said, "We were fortunate enough to be invited by Mr. Li for appraisal years ago. It was the first time we saw the authentic work of the legendary Nine Dragons Sword, so we also

There is no need to do a second appraisal.”

The two experts from the Beijing University Museum also shook their heads and had nothing to say.

"Gu Bureau, let's start from our side." A woman in her fifties stood up and said. She walked to Gu Bureau. When she saw the long sword, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly for a moment, and then she said in a deep voice, "

Everyone come and take a look.”

Li Mo sat on the chair, took out his cell phone and started texting.

In the car in the courtyard, Chen Xiaojun suddenly received a text message from Li Mo. He quickly opened it and looked at it with a look of surprise on his face.

"Mr. Chen, what instructions does the boss have?"

"The boss asked me to contact a friend and ask him to come forward to find a way to buy the sword in Sima Haotian's hand. He also said that he was just asking for his cooperation and asked us to pay for the sword." Chen Xiaojun snorted, "

The boss must have noticed something special about the sword in Sima Haotian's hand, so he decided to go around the corner and buy it. I'll contact someone first to see who is suitable to take the lead."

Li Mo sent a few text messages and put his phone back in his pocket. Then he sat there and drank tea comfortably while looking boredly at the experts and professors arguing around the Nine Dragons Sword.

"The surface of the scabbard is covered with the best crocodile skin, and is inlaid with many diamonds, sapphires and rubies, all of which are top-quality gems."

"The hilt of the sword is engraved with dragon patterns. There are nine dragon patterns of different shapes."

One of them couldn't help but gently drew out his long sword. The sword suddenly radiated with radiance and sharpness, making people feel a chill all over their body.

Some of them could not help but utter exclamations of exclamation. It seemed that after comparison, they could immediately tell who was the real Nine Dragons Sword.

Sima Haotian stretched out his head to take a look, but in front of so many people, he still couldn't lose face. If he even wanted to authenticate the opponent's Nine Dragons Sword, it would mean that he was the loser.

.

A group of experts were still discussing. About ten minutes later, someone outside was heard shouting: "Get out of the way, I'm here to find my brother."

The door to the conference room was pushed open, and Niu Sanpang, wearing glasses, walked in gracefully with his hands behind his back, followed by six strong bodyguards.

Qin Yali knew Niu Sanpang. Although she seemed very reckless, she didn't say anything.

Director Gu had a sullen face. This was his territory, but there were people who were arrogant. He immediately shouted: "Get out of here, everyone else."

Niu Sanpang immediately raised his eyebrows, looked at Gu Ju with contempt and said: "I asked my brother Li Mo to support him, so that he would not be bullied by those despicable and shameless bastards. They bullied my brother.

, that’s bullying me, let’s see who dares to touch my brother today.”

Li Mo turned to look at him and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"

"I went to Beijing University to see you for something. Your colleague said you were coming to the Cultural Affairs Bureau for a meeting, so I immediately drove here to catch up. Only when I arrived did I hear that you and Sima Haotian were going to have a duel to identify the authenticity of the Nine Dragons Sword.

I see you are really bored, what's the point of a showdown? You are holding a genuine item but fighting a fake one, isn't this not using the buns as dry food? This is an insult and a derogation to the genuine Nine Dragons Sword."

What he said was so good. Li Mo cheered for him in his heart, but he still showed a slightly unhappy look on his face. He said in a deep voice: "Shut up, wait until the experts have the results."

"Mr. Sima, you also control the eyes."

One of the experts who was familiar with Sima Haotian gently pushed the sword box in front of him. Sima Haotian did not take action immediately, but Pei Yanyan next to her took out a magnifying glass and leaned over it. She carefully observed each gem.

The look on his face became darker and darker.

"How is it?" Sima Haotian asked in a calm voice.

"Every piece is top quality, flawless and of exquisite craftsmanship."

Sima Haotian stood up slowly. He took out the Nine Dragons Sword from the sword box and looked at it carefully. After a long time, he put the sword back into the golden nanmu sword box and let out a long sigh.

"Experts, what conclusions do you have now?" Gu Bureau saw Sima Haotian's frustrated face, a cold breath rose from his lower abdomen, and there was a sharp pain in his stomach. Needless to say, it was over this time.

Not only was he doomed, but the person above him was also doomed. Things that were supposed to be foolproof suddenly took a turn, and everyone was caught off guard.

"Gu Bureau, we have identified Mr. Sima's sword before. There is a slight discrepancy with the description of the Nine Dragons Sword recorded in the ancient books. However, what is recorded in the ancient books is not entirely correct. Although Mr. Li's Nine Dragons Sword is closer to

There are relevant descriptions in ancient books, but it cannot be directly concluded that the sword in his hand is the real Nine Dragons Sword."

What this expert said is a lot of nonsense.

Gu Ju is a little unhappy. How can you please both sides? How on earth did you become an expert? Is this just a fake trick?

"After comparing the two swords, I believe that the one in Mr. Li's hand is the legendary Qianlong Nine Dragon Sword of the Qing Dynasty. But the sword of Mr. Sima is not an ordinary thing. It is definitely an ancient object. I have found some ancient books.

Information, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any useful information.”

Li Mo looked at the expert. He was in his forties and had a rosy complexion. He should know how to maintain his health and speak in a leisurely manner. He still had good eyesight and recognized Li Mo's products as genuine, but he also recognized Sima.

Haotian's sword is an ancient relic.

"Expert Huang's conclusion is the same as mine. Although we were a little confused before, we couldn't find any ironclad evidence, so we decided that the sword Mr. Sima found was the authentic Nine Dragons Sword."

In the end, five of the six experts who participated in the appraisal clearly determined that Li Mo's sword was the real Nine Dragons Sword. Because of the comparison, the sword in Sima Haotian's hand was full of flaws.

"Mr. Sima, what is your own conclusion?"

Qin Yali asked aloud at this time. She had been depressed for a long time, and today she finally took the opportunity to fight back fiercely.

Sima Haotian didn't answer, but just sat there in a daze. Pei Yanyan's face was also extremely ugly. Although she didn't admit it with her mouth, she had already made a correct judgment in her heart.

But she also believed that the sword in the master's hand was not an ordinary thing. It was too similar to the Nine Dragon Sword recorded in ancient books.

Li Mo picked up a bottle of water and drank it, then winked at Niu Sanpang beside him without leaving any trace.

Niu Sanpang immediately became energetic, and he said carelessly: "Do you still need to ask? You can tell what the answer is just by looking at his appearance? Sima Haotian, since the sword in your hand is not the Nine Dragons Sword, it has no value.

I'm very interested in it. If you think it's an eyesore, make a price and buy it back if I can accept it."

"Why did you buy the sword?" Li Mo asked him.

"Hang it at home to ward off evil spirits." Niu Sanpang said matter-of-factly.

Everyone present thought he was quite a bastard, but at first glance he was a well-established figure, perhaps a direct descendant of a big family in Kyoto. This kind of person should not be easily offended. Anyway, he was only targeting Sima Haotian, so they

Just pretend you didn't hear it.

Sima Haotian did not respond, but the five people sitting next to him whispered to each other and communicated privately. After a while, one person asked politely: "I wonder how much money Mr. Niu wants to pay?"

"This sword cannot be used." Seeing that the investors were about to reach an agreement, Sima Haotian immediately stopped him. The apprentice was right. Even if it is not the real Nine Dragons Sword, it is definitely an ancient relic. How could it be done so easily before he understood it?

Transfer it out.

"Brother Sima, we are investors. No matter what we do, the pursuit of profit is our goal. Those who are bold in doing business can make more, and those who are not courageous can just take one step at a time, even if it is a small profit, the little will make a lot of money."

It’s also very impressive.”

Another investor also said in a deep voice: "Brother Sima, you should estimate the market price for that sword. Don't worry, we will not divide this first profit, but will only put it into a special fund for other subsequent projects."

Fund for treasure hunt efforts.”
