Sixty-fourth bowl of soup (5)
This time Qian Xun had no choice but to look at Ling Zheng speechlessly, hoping that he could find another way out. Ling Zheng's lips under the black mask twitched twice, and tentatively put forward his own thoughts: "...how about this, Master, let's stop digging... we can't dig it out anyway... why don't we just leave..."
Chikaoru: "..."
"Otherwise, what should we do? It wouldn't be good if we dug holes everywhere in the county government."
Qian Xun remained silent, "Do you really have no memory at all?"
At that time, Ling Zheng was only seven years old, and he was being chased and killed, so there was no time to escape. It would be good if he could remember where he hid it and make a mark. How could he find it when the ruins were so changed? Besides, now that the ruins have become a county government office, God knows if they will be crushed under the house!
After about a few seconds, Qian Xun suddenly asked: "When you were collecting books, did you wrap them with something?"
Ling Zheng fell silent suddenly, and replied after a while: "...No."
"..."
"Go back." The two said in unison, no one had hope. For a whole ten years, the book will not be covered with a golden bell or an iron cloth shirt, and it will be buried in the soil without taking any protective measures. It will be no wonder that it will be fine after ten years.
After returning to the inn, the master and apprentice were relatively speechless, and this matter cannot be left as it is, "Master, it doesn't matter whether you can find that book or not, anyway, no one can penetrate the secrets above, let's do it as it is." Just one book, the most important thing is that I still remember what is in that book, when we release the news, the murderer will naturally take the bait."
They came out of the valley not to hunt for treasure, but to take revenge!
"That's the only way to go." Qian Xun sighed, thinking to himself, can this little boy really become a big devil that everyone fears? It doesn't look like it at all.
Making old books is not an easy task. Neither of them is good at it, but they have money, so they hired an old craftsman to make an ancient book with mottled pages according to the impression in Ling Zheng's mind.
Because they spent a lot of money, they also specially bought an exquisite box to put it in, which looked very poised. The old craftsman received a thousand taels of silver, which can be said to have exhausted his life With painstaking efforts, he patted his chest and assured that no one would see it.
At this moment, the master and the apprentice were studying the book in the inn room. Qian Xun read it over and over several times and said in admiration, "It's really enough to confuse the real one, and it's not much different from the precious medical books left by the master." This was a new book a few days ago, but now it seems that if it is said that it is a martial arts secret book that has been passed down for a hundred years, Qian Xun will believe it.
After collecting so much money, the veteran craftsman not only worked hard with his heart, but also with a tight tone, and he also put all his energy into making this book particularly tall, which makes people feel extraordinary at first glance.
The strange thing is that Ling Zheng didn't let his old man help to write on it, and the veteran craftsman kindly asked if he would write it, it would naturally be more convincing, but Ling Zheng refused.
"Do you remember what's in it?" Qian Xun asked curiously.
Ling Zheng said, "There's nothing inside."
"ah?"
"It's so strange, Master." Ling Zheng looked blank, "Since the day it was in my house, this book has not had a word, and it is all blank. I heard that there are fire and water manifestations in the world, There are characters that can only be revealed by spraying a specific powder, but unfortunately that book can’t be found, only this fake one.”
He's still pretty embarrassing.
Qian Xun shook her head and said, "Perhaps this worldly expert is so strange, leaving a wordless book."
But what they have now is the real wordless book - not a single word.
After flipping through the wordless book, Ling Zheng put it into a wooden box after making sure that nothing would be exposed, "Master, let's go find the five tyrants of Kansai next."
"What do you want them to do?" Qian Xun was puzzled.
"We have wordless books on hand, and we need someone to help us spread the word. It is said that there is a huge secret in it. No one in the world wants to get it, but it is not enough for you and me. The five tyrants did it. It's a business of information trading, we help them get rid of the poison, so it's not too much to ask for some rewards?"
What Ling Zheng said was a matter of course, and Qian Xun realized that this child is naturally black, but this method is really good, and she also thinks she can try it.
In fact, there are still people who follow them all the time, but they are all low-level characters. If you want to get rid of them, it is not difficult.
It's just that when they arrived in Kansai, the five tyrants were not at home. After questioning, I learned that these five people went to Shenjian Villa.
Excalibur Villa is an aristocratic family. The whole family does not focus on martial arts, but makes a living by making swords. So far, the only swords left in the world are all from Excalibur Villa, especially the new owner. Shangguanli, he spent ten years casting a sword. Now that the magic weapon has just been formed, there are countless people in the world who want to ask for it. However, the magic sword villa has a rule that only gold can't buy a weapon. Not only money, but also money. Also have a relationship with the sword.
It's hard to say whether the martial arts are high or low, but it is definitely a very honorable thing to have a sword from the Excalibur Villa. Even in the palace, there is only one sword made by Shangguan Li's grandfather. One can imagine how precious it is kind of degree.
The Five Hegemons naturally wanted to catch up with the excitement. To put it bluntly, the five brothers loved to save face and join in the fun. Otherwise, how could they have established such an intelligence building mainly for inquiring about news.
After asking about the location of the Excalibur Villa, the master and the apprentice headed there. Along the way, they met many people from the rivers and lakes, all of whom were heading in the same direction, and seemed to have the same goal.
"When your second master was still alive, she had a green sword by her side. She didn't use the sword anymore, and she still loved it. She kept it in the safest place of the Weapon Pavilion. That green sword is the divine sword. It is from the villa. Although the willow sword on your waist is one in a hundred, it is still much worse than the sword of Shenjian Villa. If it is possible, our trip will not only release the news of the wordless book, but also find it for you. A weapon."
Ling Zheng listened carefully, and then scratched his head: "Master, it's hard to find a sword in the Excalibur Villa. The princes, nobles, traffickers, pawns, and children of the world are all overwhelmed. How can we have so much money?"
"It's a big deal, just go back to the valley to get it, isn't it just if there is a destiny?"
"Fate also costs money." Ling Zheng has a serious face, and the price is not cheap. Otherwise, if the Excalibur Villa produces a sword every ten or twenty years, do you usually drink the northwest wind
"We don't need money, right?" Qian Xun has never worried about money, so she doesn't know what good things like money are.
Ling Zheng was very distressed: "There should be no shortage." When he came out, he brought a lot of valuable things, which should be enough to buy a sword.
Shenjian Villa is a very mysterious, low-key but extremely powerful family, and it is also the only family that can enter the top five in the Jianghu without using martial arts and never falls. Whenever a sword is cast in the Shenjian Villa, there are always countless people coming to ask for it. Unfortunately, the Shenjian Villa does not accept outsiders. Except for the guests allowed by the owner, the guests have to find a place to live by themselves.
Qian Xun, Ling Zheng, and his master and apprentice are definitely not distinguished guests, they can only live outside, and the Shenjian Villa is located in a remote place, and it is an incense stick away from the nearest city. They are afraid of delays, so everyone is basically on the spot near the villa. waiting.
The master and apprentice couldn't get into the Shenjian Villa, so they naturally lived in a towering old tree on the back mountain of the Shenjian Villa. They were used to living in a tree house when they were in the valley, but they were not used to living in an inn when they were first born.
It can be said that the people who came to seek the sword this time are all well-known. Even if some ordinary people know that they are not blessed, they will come to join in the fun in order to see the world. Is there any money to talk about? What if they are destined people
Because of the lack of tools, the wooden house is relatively crude, but it is much better than living on the ground, and for the convenience of most people living near the villa, only the two of them went to the back mountain, and it took a whole circle to get to the villa. Circle, no wonder others refused to come.
Among the visitors, Qian Xun also saw a person wearing a robe embroidered with golden dragons, who presumably belonged to the royal family, and there were more other powerful people from the Jianghu, but unfortunately she didn't know any of them.
It has to be said that their timing was just right. In the early morning of the second day, the gate of the villa was opened to welcome guests in. The servants in the villa were all dressed in black, strong and strong, unsmiling. The scenery inside was pleasant and occupied an extremely large area Guang, it can be called a paradise.
It is extremely beautiful and extremely quiet. All the servants are very strict in their mouths and cannot ask anything. They are led to the center of the villa. The square hundreds of meters long is enough to hold so many people. On the high platform in the middle of the square, There is a black and gold long sword.
Even Qian Xun, who was used to seeing rare treasures by the side of the two masters since childhood, couldn't help admiring: "A good sword."
Ling Zheng didn't have any idea about seeking a sword at first, but when he saw the long sword, his eyes couldn't help showing longing.
The sword body is slender and smooth, even if it stands still, you can still feel its deep and simple evil spirit, it looks extremely heavy and precious, if there is no one on the high platform, if you really think that the sword has become a spirit, the sword spirit will stand aside.
Not only the two masters and apprentices, but everyone else is also very eager. The sword is so close in front of them that it seems to be within easy reach. If you go to grab it now... there should be no problem, right
There are also some people with evil intentions among them. While everyone is still, a man in black descends from the sky and lands on the high platform with the help of a hang glider. His eyes exposed outside the mask reveal ecstasy and greed. He seems to be obsessed, and stretches out his hand He wanted to take the sword, but before he could touch the sword stand, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from the high platform and dragged him down.
In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared.
Everyone exclaimed, they had all heard about the methods of the Excalibur Villa, and they were lucky enough to witness it today, and many people who made crooked ideas gave up.
Anyone who knows the goods knows who the person who was dragged down with no power to resist just now is, the snitch who claims to be an empty-handed thief who once stole the emperor's imperial seal. He has never missed in the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years. In the hands of Excalibur Villa, and it's just a blink of an eye.
Ling Zheng quietly said to Qian Xun: "Master, look at the pillars on the high platform, all of them are equipped with organs, even if that person stole the sword just now, he couldn't escape."
The pillar looks ordinary but has a mystery inside, it is very dangerous, the Snitch deserves it for being so reckless because he is a veteran.
Qian Xun nodded: "Just follow the fate, if you have a fate, it's ours, and if you don't have a fate, it's okay."
Ling Zheng nodded, but his eyes were still full of longing.
