Seeing this thing, Yao Shigu took it from Xia Yan with trembling hands as if seeing a rare treasure, and after a long time he let out a long breath and handed it back to Xia Yan reluctantly: "Xia Yan , since Senior Brother has given you this item, it is yours, and no one can take it away, neither can I!"
In Xia Yan's hand was half a black carving knife. From the middle section of this carving knife, there was only the front half, and the second half was nowhere to be seen.
"But Master, Master asked me to leave it to you..." Xia Yan hesitated.
"No need!" Yao Shigu looked at Xia Yan with a lot of love in his eyes, and said, "Actually, your master didn't ask you to give me something, but to take something from me!"
"What?" Xia Yan asked suspiciously.
"Go upstairs first, and I'll tell you slowly." Yao Shigu took Xia Yan's hand and walked upstairs. After walking two steps, he thought of something again, turned around and said, "Xiao Ting, call your sister to come back at noon for the holidays!"
"Okay, Grandpa!" Yao Ting rolled her big eyes, looking at Grandpa and Xia Yan, but she didn't know what she was thinking.
Jiguzhai has two floors. The antiques displayed on the second floor are more exquisite than those on the first floor. You can tell that they are worth a lot at first glance. If all the antiques in Jiguzhai were real, the Yao family's assets would easily exceed 100 million yuan, not to mention that there must be better things that have not been displayed.
Xia Yan was full of doubts, followed Yao Shigu into a room on the second floor, and sat down on the mahogany chair.
Yao Ting made two cups of tea, brought them over and placed them in front of Yao Shigu and Xia Yan, and sat down on the sofa herself.
Yao Shigu picked up his teacup and drank it silently. He didn't speak, so Yao Ting and Xia Yan naturally wouldn't speak first. Ten minutes later, Yao Shigu sighed and said, "Nephew Xia Yan, do you know the origin of this half carving knife?"
"I don't know!" Xia Yan shook his head and said, "Master never told me that he gave me the things when I came out this time."
"When did senior brother accept you as an apprentice?" Yao Shigu asked again.
"Ten years ago." Xia Yan said.
"Did he... mention me before?" Yao Shigu's eyes were complicated.
"Before I came out this time, Master never mentioned it." Xia Yan thought in his heart that there must be a bloody past between the brothers.
"Alas!" Yao Shigu sighed, and after a while of silence, he said: "Since your master didn't tell you about this, I won't talk too much..."
I go!
Xia Yan was depressed, uncle, uncle, you are too unreasonable, Guan Zi is not like you, is it really okay for you to hang people in mid-air like this
While he was complaining, Yao Shigu stood up, opened the safe embedded in the wall, took out a beautiful sandalwood box from it, handed it to Xia Yan, and asked with a smile: "Xia Yan, guess what?" What's in the box?"
"The other half of the carving knife?" Xia Yan asked tentatively.
Yao Shigu was startled, seeing Yao Ting nodding with a smirk, he laughed at himself and said, "Is it so easy to guess?"
When the box was opened, it turned out to be the other half of the carving knife. Xia Yan took it out and brought the two broken knives together, and it really fit perfectly. There is no doubt that the two were originally one.
"It's been fifteen years, and I finally saw the complete Amorous Saber again!" Yao Shigu repeatedly shook his head, his expression very excited.
"What... what knife?" Xia Yan and Yao Ting asked in unison.
As soon as the old man came up with a martial arts name like "Amorous Knife", his style of painting suddenly went wrong. This is just a carving knife, okay? Is it really good to have such a sexy name? And this name belongs to **, but it's a bit tacky!
"Passionate knife!" Yao Shigu repeated, and said leisurely, "The more sentimental the knife, the more sentimental the works born under the knife will be!"
"The more sentimental the knife, the more sentimental the work will be... Master also said this!" Xia Yan said thoughtfully, "So this sentence comes from this knife!"
"Wrong, this sentence came first, and this knife came into being, hahaha!" Yao Shigu laughed heartily.
"Xia Yan, when my senior brother left fifteen years ago, he left me a word. He said that if one day someone appeared with half a sentimental knife, that would be his disciple and the successor of his chosen sect , that is... the leader of our faction!"
"Master?" Xia Yan and Yao Ting were dumbfounded. Could it be that they really want to transform into a martial arts style? This is not scientific!
"Is it weird?" Yao Shigu laughed, patted Yao Ting's head, and said, "Every industry has its own schools, such as painting, calligraphy, and even low-level fraud. What's more, if we carve a piece, Confucius is still the leader of Confucianism, so what does it matter if we have a head of the sword!"
"Our faction is called Yidaoliu?" Xia Yan asked curiously.
"That's right!" Yao Shigu nodded and sighed, "Your master's craftsmanship is far superior to mine, so he made a name for himself. Others call him Han Yidao. I can't show my skills, so I know mine There are not many people, if it is not because of what happened back then, the head of the sect should have been your master!"
"But now, you are the head of our Yidao style!" Yao Shigu looked at Xia Yan with burning eyes, and said excitedly: "Xia Yan, can you let me see your work?"
Xia Yan quickly took out the wood-carved mountain tiger from her backpack, and handed it to Yao Shigu with both hands: "Master, please advise!"
"The tiger is going down the mountain. Young people should have this kind of momentum. Even if your master and I are tigers, we are already full of tigers going up the mountain!" Yao Shigu took the wood carving with both hands and appraised it carefully. After a long time, he sighed contentedly, put the wood carving on the table, then handed the amorous knife to Xia Yan, then lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down in front of Xia Yan.
"Master, what are you doing?" Xia Yan was startled, she quickly dodged and reached out to help Yao Shigu.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Yao Ting was also anxious, and hurried to help Yao Shigu's other arm.
"Xiao Ting, get out of the way!" Yao Shigu waved his hand to prevent Yao Ting from approaching, and then said to Xia Yan: "Xia Yan,
Chapter 60: One Swordsman
I am not worshiping you, but the inheritance of the one-sword style, you sit down quickly, if you don't let me worship this, I will be embarrassed to see my brother in the future! "
"Uncle, you..." Xia Yan still wanted to persuade, but saw the old man's persistence, knowing that it was useless to persuade, after casting a sorry look at Yao Ting, he sat back on the sofa, holding the affectionate Knife, let the two cut-off knives fit together.
Yao Shigu knelt down again, solemnly kowtowed three times to the Amorous Knife, then stood up and said, "Master..."
