Chapter 079 – Opening the Sword Box
I don’t know whether it is the cause of the famous sword out of the world, Su Su hit a jolt, only to come to his senses, Xu Fengyen harnessed the sword out of the sleeve, snapping his fingers and knocking on the hilt of the golden wisp, and again, this old Western Shu Prince gave the spot to faint, and the old man was again exasperated for a while with a trembling of the mouth.
Back to the sleeve of the golden wisp in front of the eyes of the blind female zither player, Xue Songguan cold snort, the golden wisp in the air struggling and trembling, in and out of control. Cold-eyed old man insight into the world, the frivolous words of the Northern Liang son added a few points of caution, the situation is clearly settled, at this point is still not forget to try to kill Xue Songguan, Xu Fengyen smiled cheekily, pulling away on the flying sword gold wisp of the qi pull, Xue Songguan did not have both hands to send the goodwill, the hook of the index finger, will be the flying sword pulling the body in front of the body, and then with the left hand of two slender fingers pressed on the sword body, she is the A genuine Finger Xuan expert, most of all, she could see the slightest thing, the flying sword was carefully crafted by Teng Tai’a, in terms of the wonderful texture, it was like a wordless sword manual. A product of four realms, not to mention the current realm whether to promote or adjacent to the land gods, there are three people are not around the genius, have been in a realm on a ride, the diamond realm on the white monk Li Dangxin, alone eight bucket weather Cao Changqing, and finger Xuan realm, is to the art of proof of the road Deng Tai’a, the battle of the rainy alley, coupled with this can be described as the killer mace of the golden wisp, the blind zither masters totaled to see the ten flying swords, at this time, a touch of the sword body, knowing that the There is a great learning, Xue Songguan estimated that this son of human butcher seems to be carrying a huge treasure without realizing it, there is the suspicion of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, only focusing on raising the sword fetus, without knowing the significance of the sword dao that is contained in the flying swords themselves, and she does not have the kindness to poke through the windowpaper.
Xu Fengyen lost the golden wisp, and did not worry about the female devil not returning it, ignoring Zhao Dingxiu’s angry glare. He walked to the courtyard and looked at the ebony box with the Spring and Autumn Sword in it, unable to take his eyes off it. The scabbard was engraved with complicated and clumsy inscriptions and talismans, and most of the top quality swordsmiths under the sky were proficient in the strange arts, and since the sword maker surnamed Qi was qualified to cast swords for the Sword Emperor of Western Shu, he certainly ranked among the top. If the scabbard is the inner shirt, then the sword box is like a person’s outer shirt. This sword box, has gone beyond this category, more like a cage, do not allow the killing flame to escape. Whether it is the literary world of chess or jianghu martial arts, there are revered ancient and disparage the bad habits of the present, always think that poetry and articles are the ancients do well, martial arts secrets is also the more on the older years the more precious, but do not know that the world is like a chess game, always stepping on the shoulders of the forefathers of the later more and more subtle, well in the chess world with the yellow dragon Xu Weixiong, the jianghu has Wang Xianzhi Li Chungang, have created enough to bless the hundred years of the new phenomenon, at this time a handle of spring and autumn, also almost can be regarded as teaching the present people not to be a good person, but also to teach the present day, the sword box. Can almost be considered to teach today’s people not to envy the ancients.
When the blacksmith saw Xu Fenian reaching out to touch the sword case, he softly said, “Be careful.”
Xu Fengyen reached out and touched the sword box, after shrinking his hand, he looked down and saw that many fresh threads of blood were seeping out, the killing intent of this sword was so strong that it was the only thing he had ever seen in his life.
The blacksmith who used to hold the sword for the Western Shu Sword Emperor laughed: “I only care about casting a good sword, how you take the sword, and let the sword qi converge afterward, it is your business.”
Without looking back, Xu Fenian said, “E, go and help Sister Qin Shi find an inn to stay at.”
The teenager holding a large bow and carrying an arrow pouch nodded and said, “Good grin.”
Xue Songguan’s two fingers only loosened the golden wisp, and in an instant, it returned to Xu Fengnian’s sleeve in the sword bag. The blacksmith, who was one of the few masters of the sword path in the world, saw this scene and secretly nodded his head, no wonder he was able to fight with this Finger Xuan realm woman in the alley in such a dangerous manner, the King of Northern Liang had given birth to a good son with a similar mindset. The blacksmith then thought of their own Prince Su Shu, Su Shu is of course a pseudonym, Su Shu two words are harmonic Shu, as to why the name Su Shu, you have to ask Zhao old maester, he has not been able to think of these years, dare to think of the old man misses the West Shu street picking a quart of shortbread selling taste? Blacksmith walked to the furnace, looking at the sleeping young man, he a iron casting sword with the old man is different, not so much national hatred good to talk about, only think this left behind the civil city of the little Prince can be happy to live on the good, restoration of the country or not, listen to God’s fate, I remember there is a big river over the West Shu, the reputation of the second only to the God of the sword Li Chungang sword emperor has said that the sword momentum such as the river flow, high up in the flow to the low, naturally, the sword is more adequate, the sword, the sword, the sword, the sword, the sword, the sword is the most important thing to do, the sword. Holding the sword, he felt that people are probably also so a reason, such as that against the trend of the sword to open the door to heaven, ultimately only Li Chungang one, Trojan horse cattle a sword, is not common sense. The old man walked into the backyard with his hands, blacksmith back up Su pastry, the backyard has two narrow room, Su pastry like midnight crying bedwetting when I was a child, the old man almost have to wait at the door all night long, instead of the blacksmith himself sleep peacefully, or just focus on that piece of the sky outside the iron casting sword, every time I think of this, the blacksmith can not help but want to laugh, it is really difficult to do the article of a lifetime of learning for the old student, the old man has to be a father and mother, the old man has to be a father and mother, the old man’s beard is also known as the old man’s beard. Back then, I do not know how much beard was pulled off by the young prince, after pulling but also cackle, blacksmith felt that moment a helpless old man, humane far more than when the temple angrily rebuked his majesty’s stupefaction to come more.
Xu Fengyen stood in the courtyard, walking slowly around the sword box.
Teenage dead man left the bow in the courtyard, and then and blind zither master out of the courtyard door, she took the cotton bag wrapped up the broken zither, pulled on the arm, like a go out to buy food returned to the elegant little lady. The young man squinted and looked quite interesting, he is not able to stay worried about the happy nature, joked: “sister Xue, I accidentally broke your favorite zither, you will not suddenly out of the blue to kill me, right?”
The female zither player softly shook her head and said, “No.”
The teenager codenamed E curiously asked, “Sister Xue, aren’t you a big devil on the North Mang Ranking? Don’t all devils kill without reason?”
She smiled, “I don’t know why I made it to the list, in fact, I’ve only killed six people, and apart from the first one, the rest were all people who paid to have me killed. Maybe it’s because the characters I’ve killed are all close to the Vajra realm”
The teenager childishly laughed, “Sister Xue, a woman with such a high level of skill, be careful that you won’t be able to marry in the future. Think about it, even if you’re not a notorious devil, which man likes to marry a daughter-in-law who fights better than he does, isn’t that right? Like I wouldn’t dare to find a daughter-in-law in the future, definitely looking for a woman who only knows how to do women’s red embroidery, but I don’t have any money, and I’m not handsome, so when my master was alive, he was always worried that I wouldn’t be able to get a daughter-in-law in the future.”
The blind girl said softly, “After following the Northern Liang Prince, are you still afraid of not having a daughter-in-law?”
Hands over the knee like a deep mountain apes and monkeys of the teenager e walking in the alley on the green stone road, looking into the distance, said in a deep voice: “I’m afraid that one day say die, so I do not dare to find a daughter-in-law ah.”
Arriving at the door of the inn, the teenager quietly hid into the dark night.
The next day dawn, sleepy Su Crisp wants to use a beautiful carp to sit up, the result is heavily smashed on the bed board, poor wooden bed squeaked, rubbed his waist, Su Crisp is a little confused, how to open his eyes on the bed? Last night in the rainy night, did not run into a woman waiting for someone? Vaguely remember the end of the alley and an umbrella slender figure, this kind of look on the towering figure, put aside in the usual see, can let Su pastry sour belly half a day, out of this no matter how the old man tidy up the next day to keep the messy house, the old man often chanting what a house is not to sweep how to sweep the world, at first Su pastry left ear into the right ear out, and then really unbearable, on the plugging of the old man a sentence! “You get a world to sweep me, I promise to clean up this room is spotless”, that after the old man did not in this matter on the broken idea, let Su Shu heart some resentment.
The whole night, Xu Fengyen was pulling the sword qi flowing out of the sword box, the overturned soil had been unconsciously stepped on flat, he turned around and looked at this old Western Shu royal orphan, without uttering a word.
Su Shu frowned, then woke up, jumped to his feet and sneered, “I remember, you are that fool who was cheated out of his money under the old willow tree yesterday, a big old man still shedding tears, are you heartbroken for silver or what?”
Xu Fengyen turned around with a cold face.
Coming to the front room of the old master Zhao Dingxiu helplessly said, “Do not be rude.”
With Su Crisp’s five senses retarded, naturally unable to perceive the abundant sword intent of the sword box hiding the sword, the sword qi has a spirit, for Su Crisp this kind of mundane who does not practice martial arts will not take the initiative to hurt people. Su Shu crosses the threshold, thinking of going out with the fox and dog friends to get away, his life with the poor guy dealt with, for the eyes of this kind of generous gentleman, although the brain is a little bit by the suspicion of the door plate clip to, but also is not he like to approach, in the final analysis, or will be all over the body is not comfortable, easy to be ashamed of themselves. Su Shu just as the eyes do not see the heart does not bother, bypassing that person and the odd box, inadvertently saw the foot of the wall banana bush, banana leaves broken and rotten with the evil dog bite like, then they are angry, climbed the wall, crossed his arms to the next yard scolded: “Wang Fatty fat, you give Su Grandpa get out of the house! Last time you stole my banana leaves to wipe your ass, even so, this time you are a cat or what, scratching my banana for what? Scratch what? Scratch your stupid daughter-in-law’s tits!”
Next door yard came a roar, a fat trembling fat man while pulling on the waistband of his pants while copying the hoe to kill out, “Crispies, skin tight owes to pick up, right? Early in the morning shouting funeral ah! I’ll cut you to death!”
Su Shu self-consciously punched a couple of wall stacks, thought he was powerful, and then squatted on the wall, smiled and said: “Still want to climb the wall? Come on, come on, with your body type, you can press your daughter-in-law in bed so much that she can’t breathe, be careful not to crush her to death. At that time you can really ask me to help you shout for mourning.”
Fatty can not climb the wall, hoe can not reach Su Su, in a fit of pique, simply threw his hand to remove, perhaps last night in the daughter-in-law’s belly on the strength of the use of seven or eight, no accuracy, fell into the alley. Su Shu is trying to tease a few sentences, turned his head to see the hoe to die or not to die in favor of a passing woman, scared him hurriedly jumped, want to go to stop the hoe, but after the rain after the mud wall is soft, a stagger is going to pounce out of a dog shit, subconsciously closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly realized that he was held in her arms. Su Su Su was a little confused for a moment, not knowing how to speak. Fatty opened the door, saw this scene, was also dumbfounded, Su Zu this kid’s ancestral grave smoking, but also gave a pussy to hold? Wang Fatty shook his head, he ran to retrieve the hoe, but also really afraid of hurting people, small family, every copper is to be a turnip a pit, where is the spare silver to compensate? Really dead people, in case if it is the North Mang second-class characters, he will have to the whole family to pay for the life of the funeral.
The blind female zither player put down Su Su, the latter stood still and smiled with a blush, “I’m sorry to see you laugh.”
Early in the morning, and the night rain sweeping dust, the air is fresh and pleasant, the light also appears to be extra clear, Su Shu see really cut her, not pretty, but showy, but also very pleasing, like the neighborhood rich people out of the girl, no big frame, he likes tight.
Su Shu scratched his head, asked: “girl, you wait for someone last night, is waiting for the yard of the man wearing a sword?”
She nodded.
Su Shu habitually slapped her forehead, really, things are like people, all are not quite normal in the brain, in this way, Su Shu looked at him with some pity. Lead her into the yard, behind came squatting at the door to watch the Wang Fei fat sentence “Yo, cake, good luck ah, all with the women into the yard, playing from the womb since the first time ah, want to set off firecrackers to celebrate a little bit?”
Su Crisis a foot across the courtyard door, shrinking back to scold angrily: “Wang Fatty, and then blindly screaming, I will take my brothers to your house at night to listen to the root of the wall to go! What kind of golden gun can’t be defeated seven times a night, I think it’s just a blink of an eye when you put your gun on the horse and get off!”
The fat man was about to rush up and beat him up, but when he heard the door slam shut, he could only curse and go home to sleep, and then he gave a fierce yuck, thinking that I have a daughter-in-law to warm my bed, but do you have a daughter-in-law to warm your bed? The next Su Shu realized that the old man went to the private school said these days do not teach, Uncle Qi is still iron, blind woman just sitting in the backyard, not like a daze, but also do not like how to talk, occasionally the old man and her chatting only to ask a line to answer a line, as for the unnamed gentleman, Su Shu horizontal and vertical did not see the doorway, but also too lazy to pay attention to, sitting in the backyard to appreciate the blind woman is slightly restrained posture of the little lady, as for the The old man called the nonpolite do not see what, do not take it seriously. Later, the old man did not know from which nooks and crannies out of half a dime, so that over the years often sighing their own clever woman difficult to cook for no rice of Su Shu in a good mood, did a meat and vegetarian color and flavor of a full hearty lunch, surnamed Xue’s blind girl to eat, but also the same showy coy, small mouth, Su Shu how to look at how to be happy, the old man did not know under the table stepped on a few feet, Su Shu is always immobile as a mountain, very much a general’s demeanor.
Su Shu knows that the knife male son with a bowl of rice and went to the front yard to stand in a daze.
From time to time, the old man went over there to look for a while, and then shook his head and came back, Su Shu is not without doubts, but the old man’s mouth is strict, not to reveal half, so that this thought there is a big wealthy distant relative of Su Shu is very disappointed, good in the Xue girl quietly sitting nearby, Su Shu heart feel much better.
The next half a decade, Miss Xue is early in the morning to dusk, and never change.
Finally know is surnamed Xu’s young man or go crazy to stay in the front yard, Su Shu wondered, you want to say you in front of the pestle in front of a flower like jade girl, so do not blink staring at half a decade time will have to see vomit, right?
This day, Su Shu sat on a small bench in the backyard, chatting with Miss Xue.
The old master walked back from the front yard with his arms folded, mumbling to himself with his head bowed: “Sincerity, six dings down to see, Tai Yi night burning, hard work never can move the sky. Since there is such a number one family, but also so hard work and perseverance. It’s me, Zhao Dingxiu, who has underestimated.”
Su Shu listened vaguely, asked in a loud voice: “Old man, say what?”
The old man sat down silently, and after a long time, said, “We’re moving, going south.”
Su Shu blankly said, “Do we have that kind of money? Besides, what’s the point of going south? It’s fine here, not moving!”
Old Master seemed to be saddened by his misfortune and angry with him, and raised his voice and said, “If I say move, then move! Why is it that people in wealth and riches can tolerate suffering, but you can’t?”
Usually, the old man scolded, but today there are women present, Su Shu also some anxious, “put a good day of peace and quiet do not, why do you want me to go to the suffering, displacement and the same as the mourning dog, fun?
The old man was furious and said in a trembling voice, “Good one is a lost dog! Yes, you are a dog!”
The old man’s eyes were actually moist, pointing at the young man, gritting his teeth, “Who among my three million households in Western Shu has not been a bereaved dog for twenty years?!”
A head of foggy Su Crisp hemmed and hawed, only feeling puzzled, but seeing the old master’s rare loss of composure, he didn’t dare to be stubborn anymore.
The blind female zither player who had been quiet all along softly said: ”Old master, in fact, Mr. Su is also right, in the world, anyone under the sky is just seeking a not bitter. Like me, in the jianghu, it’s also nothing more than seeking one not to be in the body.”
The old man is not just a brash and unreasonable pedantic character, just shook his head and choked: “But he is different ah, he is Su Shu ah!”
Su Shu is actually not being scolded and aggrieved, just seeing the old master in tears, some inexplicable heartache, also red eyes, sobbed: “Yes, I am Su Shu! But I’m just the Su Shu who grew up here.”
Reprimand Su Shu more than twenty years are never sitting upright old master silent, collapsed that somehow and hold up the spirit of the gas, like the spine was bent.
Su Shu heart tightened, wiped his face haphazardly, panicked, hurriedly said: “old man, what you say is what, I listen to you is ah, you do not scare me.”
The old man sighed heavily, stood up and walked back to the house.
Leaving only Su Crisp, who had made a mistake but didn’t know what the mistake was, not caring that there was a woman by her side, she lowered her head and sobbed.
Xue Songguan hesitated for a moment and reached out to gently pat the back of his hand that was resting on his knee with a clenched fist.
He was like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, holding her small, slender hand in a death grip, raising his head, crying, ”You tell me where I went wrong, and I’ll go apologize to the old master. I don’t want him to be sad, I also want to be successful ah. But I really don’t know what to do!”
The blind woman without the guqin smiled gently, her other hand helped him wipe away the tears that filled his face, and softly shouted, “Susu.”
The front yard.
This half of the day countless times remembered the opening of the Heavenly Gate of a sword on the banks of the Guangling River.
Taking a deep breath.
Xu Fengyen put one hand behind his back, one hand stretched out, countless sword qi cocoon filaments changed from their usual tyrannical norm and meekly wrapped around this arm of his.
He calmly said, “Open the door!”
The sword box opened wide.
