Following Xiao Ran's movements, a Japanese sword with a blade length of more than 80 centimeters appeared in front of everyone.

The so-called tachi refers to a Japanese samurai sword with a blade length of more than one meter and less than 1.5 meters, and the blade has a large curvature.

The length of this tachi, the handle plus the blade, is about one meter and two, and the blade is slightly curved.

The blade of this sword is covered with rust, and it looks quite old. It seems to be an antique sword.

The reason why Xiao Ran said this was a chrysanthemum is because there is a sixteen-petal chrysanthemum carved on the blade of this sword near the handle.

The scratches on this sixteen-petal chrysanthemum are very shallow and covered with some rust spots, but they are still recognizable.

In Japan, the sixteen-petal chrysanthemum represents the Japanese royal family.

The Japanese sword with the sixteen-petal chrysanthemum engraved on the blade is from the famous Kikuichi Monji Norimune.

The Kiku-Ichimonji Norimune was made by the Bizen swordsmith Norimune from the Toba-in period after the Kamakura period in Japan. It is a representative work of the Ichimonji school and is known as the first famous sword of the Ichimonji school.

In Japanese history, the Kikuichi Monji nori clan is extremely famous, ranking second among the top ten famous swords in Japan, and is a national treasure among Japanese national treasures.

Eight or nine hundred years have passed, and Kikuichi Monji Norimune has been completely deified in the minds of the Japanese and has become the legendary supreme weapon!

As a former royal weapon of Japan, the Kikuichi Monji Norimune is one of the few famous swords with great symbolic significance in Japanese history.

When they heard what Xiao Ran said about Ju Yiwen, Qian Guzhenmei and the others were all shocked.

The next moment, these guys walked quickly towards Xiao Ran in unison, all of them were extremely excited.

Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and the two clerks acted very calmly and shook their heads together.

In the blink of an eye, Zenitani Mami and the others were approaching and looked at the Japanese sword in Xiao Ran's hand.

After just one glance, they sighed in disappointment and then shook their heads.

The next moment, Zenitani Mami shook her head in disappointment and said:

"Mr. Sean, this is not the legendary Kikuichi Mononori Sect, it is just a made-up fake."

"The legendary Kikuichi Monji, one of Japan's most important national treasures, is shorter than this katana, with a thinner and thinner blade."

"The sixteen-petal chrysanthemum on the blade near the handle is smaller and more delicate than this pattern. Under the chrysanthemum, there is also the word "一"

"The combination of all these characteristics is the real Kikuichimonji. Unfortunately, this second most famous sword in Japan has long since disappeared in the long river of history and has become a legend."

After the words fell, the other Japanese nodded and agreed.

When talking about Kikuichi Mononori Sect, these guys' eyes were filled with enthusiasm.

Obviously, like most Japanese, they have great reverence and yearning for this legendary sword.

Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, and then said with pretense of regret:

"I thought this was the legendary Juyiji character who killed people without blood. Who knew it was just a fake?"

"But this Japanese sword looks like it has some history. The rust marks on the blade don't look like they are artificially aged."

"It's just that this Japanese sword is made of ordinary materials, so it will rust. It's okay for viewing."

As he spoke, he began to examine the Japanese sword again.

He did not put down the sword just because he was not the legendary Kikuichimonji.

Seeing his behavior, Qiangu Mami and the others were not surprised.

Generally speaking, when tourists see Japanese swords for the first time, they usually behave like this.

At this time, Xiao Ran was like a curious tourist.

After examining the entire sword, Xiao Ran suddenly paused.

The next moment, he turned to look at Yamamoto Katsuyoshi.

"Boss Yamamoto, what's the price of this sword? Give me a quote!"

"If the price is right, I plan to buy this sword and play with it."

Hearing this, all the Japanese present were stunned.

Even Morita, who was staring at the surveillance screen, had a look of astonishment on his face.

It's just a fictitious Kikuichimonji. Why did this guy Sean buy this sword?

Thinking of this, Zenitani Mami, Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and others looked at the rusty sword again.

Unfortunately, they didn't discover anything new.

This sword is still the same as before, nothing special can be seen.

After a pause, Yamamoto Katsuyoshi stepped forward and said:

"Mr. Sean, although this sword is an imitation, it also has a certain history. It can be regarded as an antique sword."

"Its price is 2,600 US dollars. If you can accept this offer, you can own this sword."

Without any hesitation, Xiao Ran immediately smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I accept this offer, deal is done"

With that said, he stepped forward and bumped his elbows with Yamamoto Katsuyoshi.

Yamamoto Katsuyoshi was stunned again before he realized what he was doing.

Looking at Qian Gu Zhenmei and the others, their faces were also filled with astonishment.

They never expected that Xiao Ran would actually buy this fake chrysanthemum.

After reaching the deal, Xiao Ran immediately took out his mobile phone and prepared to transfer money to Yamamoto Katsuyoshi.

At the same time, he nodded to David.

David understood instantly and immediately asked Yamamoto Katsuyoshi to issue an art transaction contract.

This series of actions once again shocked Zenitani Mami and the others!

Is this chrysanthemum idiom real? It’s just that I and others didn’t recognize it!

If this is the case, then the various legends about the Kikuichi Mononori Sect over the past few hundred years must be inaccurate!

This is absolutely impossible! The legendary Kikuichi Monji Norimune could never be this rusty and inferior sword!

Qian Guzhenmei and the others all shook their heads, getting rid of all the ridiculous thoughts that had just occurred in their minds.

However, their eyes when looking at this sword were still full of doubts.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Ran had completed the transaction with Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and signed the transaction contract.

The moment David put away the contract, Qian Guzhenmei could no longer restrain her curiosity and asked quickly:

"Mr. Sean, can you tell me why you bought this fake anus?"

"Did you make any new discoveries that we didn't see?"

Not only him, this is also a question on the minds of other Japanese people at the scene.

Even Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and the two clerks were full of questions.

Xiao Ran glanced at these Japanese people, then smiled and said:

"Yes, gentlemen, I do have some unexpected discoveries, or guesses that are more appropriate."

"As for what this conjecture is, I won't say it here, but you can see it with your own eyes."

"ah!"

There was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene, and Zenitani Mami and Yamamoto Katsuyoshi were all stunned.

Before they could react, Xiao Ran suddenly turned to look at Yamamoto Katsuyoshi.

"Boss Yamamoto, please help me find an anvil. I can use it."

"If you don't have an anvil, you can just find a thicker iron rod, or a crowbar."

"Besides, bring me a small hammer, pliers and other tools."

Yamamoto Katsuyoshi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and responded:

"No problem, Mr. Sean, I'll have these things prepared right away."

After saying that, he immediately ordered his clerk to find these tools.

Qiangu Zhenmei and the others were confused as to what kind of medicine Xiao Ran was selling in his gourd.

"Mr. Sean, what do you need these tools for? Can you tell us?"

The director of the Tokyo Museum of Art asked in surprise.

Xiao Ran shook his head and gave it up.

"Everyone, please wait a moment and you will soon understand my intention."

Hearing this, Qian Guzhenmei and the others could only shut up and wait patiently.

Within moments, two clerks were back with an iron bar, a crowbar, and a toolbox.

They laid the items on the floor and stepped aside.

Xiao Ran took the fake chrysanthemum and Yiwenji and stepped forward to check out these tools.

There is no problem with the tool, the iron rod is heavy enough.

Then, Xiao Ran suddenly smiled and said:

"For safety reasons, it is best for everyone to take a few steps back to avoid accidents."

"What I'm going to do next is dangerous, so be careful."

Hearing this, Qian Guzhenmei and the others nodded together and took a few steps back.

Xiao Ran turned around and looked around to make sure everyone had retreated to a safe distance before taking the next step.

The next moment, he placed the iron rod on the floor and took two steps back.

Then, he suddenly swung the sword in his hand and struck the iron rod on the floor hard.

"Uh-huh!"

With a flash of cold light, the rusty sword hit the iron rod accurately.

"ah!"

There was an exclamation of exclamation from the scene, and everyone exclaimed.

Xiao Ran's sudden movement shocked everyone.

Before the exclamations could end, everyone suddenly saw a strange scene.

"Zheng!"

The moment the sword hit the iron rod, a flash of fire flashed where the two met, accompanied by a crisp sound of gold and iron.

The next moment, the rusty sword suddenly completely disintegrated.

To be more precise, the blade of this sword suddenly disintegrated.

The originally rusty blade instantly shattered into slag, falling to the floor, or splashing outwards.

Fortunately, Xiao Ran chose an open space and everyone had retreated, so no damage was caused and no one was injured.

At this time, Xiao Ran still held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand and stood there with a smile on his face.

The originally rusty sword in his hand had completely changed and turned into something else.

What he held in his hand was a tachi with a blade length of less than eighty centimeters, a slender and thin blade, and a shimmering cold light.

There is no trace of rust on the blade of this sword, and the light can be used to identify people.

"Oh my God! What's going on? Am I hallucinating?"

"Why did the rusty tachi break into pieces with a single blow? What happened to this slender tachi?"

Suddenly there was a burst of exclamations at the scene, and everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Ran said proudly:

"This is what I discovered. There is actually a real treasured sword hidden inside this rusty fake chrysanthemum."

"In Chinese terms, this is called the Three Hundred Liangs of Silver. Fortunately, I have seen this method of hiding knives before."

As he said this, he took back the slender and discerning sword and inspected it with feigned joy.

The next moment, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then said in surprise:

"My guess is indeed correct. This is the real Kikuichi Mononori Mune, the second most famous sword in Japanese history!"

Not surprisingly, his words directly detonated the scene.

"What? This hidden sword is actually the legendary Kikuichi Mononori Sect?"

Zenitani Mami exclaimed excitedly, her voice was trembling, and even sounded like she was crying.

The same was not true for other Japanese people at the scene.

Even Morita and the others, as well as Turner and the others who were watching the surveillance footage, were shocked and dumbfounded.

At this moment, I heard only a few plop-plop sounds in succession.

Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and the two clerks fell to the floor one after another, their eyes almost bursting with shock!

Xiao Ran immediately turned around to look, but a sudden change occurred.

Involuntarily, one by one, Zenitani Mami and the others suddenly knelt on the floor.

Immediately afterwards, these guys put their hands on the floor and kowtowed to Xiao Ran.

Yamamoto Katsuyoshi and the two clerks, who were originally slumped on the floor, quickly turned over and knelt on the floor as if they were electrocuted, and began to kowtow to Xiao Ran respectfully.

To be more precise, these Japanese people are kowtow- ing against the reborn Kikuichi Monmonori Sect!
