Let Si Liyu go?
Tang Zhao opened his mouth to object, but Xing Ji said: "You don't understand. For you, this is just a chore, but for him, this is an opportunity."
Tang Zhao said: "Opportunity?"
Xing Ji said: "Well, it's an opportunity to make a meritorious service. I can record this credit for him. The sword is implanted in the body, which is analogous to a disability. It can be recorded as a third-level credit. In addition, if he makes another meritorious service this time, it will be said that Maybe all the credit for choosing the sword has been collected. A few days of pain are worth ten years of hard work. Others don't know how to measure it. He must feel that it is worth it. If you refuse to give him this opportunity, he will still be angry."
Tang Zhao was doubtful, Xing Ji smiled and said, "Would I lie to you?"
Tang Zhao looked at him sideways, unable to believe that he had the nerve to say such a thing.
Xing Ji laughed twice and said: "Actually, if you join our land inspection department, I can also give you the credit. With the little credit here and there, you will start higher than others. But after this incident, I I have other considerations. Do you want to be a swordsmith?"
Tang Zhaoqi said: "You want me to go to Zhuoyu Villa? Didn't I say you would definitely refuse?"
Xing Ji said: "One moment and another. There is no doubt that your Talisman Sword Master talent is extremely strong. But before, I was not optimistic about Zhuoyu Villa and felt that there was no future. It's not that the swordsmith has no future, the swordsmith has a great future, even The princes also rely on swordsmiths, but Zhuoyu Villa has no future. Xue Xianyun is capable, but his background is average and his background is weak. He is still preparing to forge his first sword, and he has not dared to start it after several years of preparation. Can I still let you try your hand?"
Tang Zhao said: "Then now..."
Xing Ji said: "It's different now, you have mastered a sword type."
Tang Zhao was shocked and his heart was beating wildly.
Xing Ji said: "I just said that if you hold the sword with your hands, you will be hit by the special power in your mind, and 90% of the time you will end up with a nervous breakdown. But just now you were holding the sword unscathed, so docile. , I can only say that it is definitely suitable for you. It is the private possession of the white-haired ghost. It is not recorded, has no place of origin, and has no destination. It can be disposed of privately."
Tang Zhao felt a burst of excitement and stuttered a little when he spoke, saying: "I...sir..."
Xing Ji said: "Other than giving it to you, who else can I give it to? Why should other people get a sword seed for nothing? You have been implicated by me and suffered a lot, and I want to take your things away. Do you still want this face?" Already?"
Tang Zhao's mood was so agitated that it was difficult to express it. Of course he knew that Xing Ji only wanted to find a reason. Not to mention getting it by accident, he dug it out of the cellar of his old house. Such treasures are also "inhabited by virtuous people". A truth that is never shared with children. Xing Ji's move was earth-shattering.
Xing Ji said: "Take this sword and go to Zhuoyu Villa to study hard and see if you can become a swordsmith and forge a sword for yourself. That is the sword that is most suitable for you. Otherwise, you are so good." I have the talent of inspiration, and I think it’s a waste to go with those wild boys like Jiandisi to grab a sword that is only 70 to 80% suitable.”
There was another meaning he didn't say: Tang Zhao's talent was too strange. The sword species can be forced out, who knows if there are any miracles? There are many people in the inspection department, but there are not bad people. Tang Zhao is young and weak, so Xingji feels unsafe.
He continued: "Don't lose your identity as the District Inspector. You have to put your name in the department and go through the procedures. Just say that you were trained by Zhuoyu Villa entrusted by the District Inspector. You can also take over the tasks of the Inspector. Etc., just take credit for your achievements. When you become a swordsmith and come back in glory, you will still be one of your own and can change jobs at any time. Secondly, the inspection department will also benefit from you and get a few more swords. .You don’t mind if I take advantage of this.”
Tang Zhao had no words to answer. He could only bow deeply and said, "Thank you, sir. Tang Zhao has nothing to repay for the great kindness you have shown me..."
Xing Ji looked at him and suddenly said: "Do you want to worship me as your adoptive father?"
…
Tang Zhao was stuck and looked at Xing Ji blankly, not sure whether he was serious or joking.
Xingji sighed and said: "Forget it, I'm still young. I don't want you to call me teacher, but I haven't taught you anything. Calling me my benefactor is too foreign..."
Tang Zhao suddenly said: "If you want, I can call you Mr. Xing."
By the way, when my large group is established, I can leave you a director position, or you can be a director.
Xing Ji thought: "What is this? It sounds weird... You can call me if you want. In the future, when you become stronger, you can call me Brother Xing. If one day you are stronger than me, you can even call me Lao Punishment. Haha.”
As expected, only he can laugh at his jokes.
Regardless of whether Tang Zhao smiled or not, Xing Ji had laughed enough. He patted Tang Zhao and said, "Wait, let's leave as soon as possible." and walked out.
After a while, Xue Yeyu came in with a complicated expression and said: "I originally wanted to mention my uncle's matter, but I was afraid that you couldn't do it and wasted my hope, so I simply didn't mention it. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to mention it. Are you sure? ?”
Tang Zhao said: "I can only give it a try, do my best, and obey fate." In fact, when he recalled the process of the fairy appearing just now, he was not sure whether it would be effective on others. He could only say that he would give it a try no matter what. After all, it is about Xue Daxia's life.
Xue Yeyu sighed, this answer was also expected, and said: "I hope I can save him. Although I have just met him a few times, he is really a good man."
Tang Zhao said: "I will do my best. By the way, sister, I need some supplementary magic tools."
Before Xing Ji said anything, he had already had the idea of going to Zhuoyu Villa because he wanted to learn the talisman style and make a large number of magic tools. In order to make better use of the glasses, he needs a large number of magical instruments to replenish energy so that the fairy can come out several times more. He has realized that no matter how good the resources are, nothing is more important than glasses.
Xue Yeyu waved his hand and said: "Magic weapons don't matter, you can get them as much as you want. Mr. Xing, who is so ignorant, just wanted to give me a favor, so that I don't tell dad about getting the sword species. Haha, I'm that kind of person Is he a talkative person? Am I the kind of person who is greedy for benefits? I don’t even look down on his family background.”
Tang Zhao said: "Master Xing is concerned about me..."
Xue Yeyu said: "I know, and I care about you too. Although dad is not a person who takes things by force, and has already obtained a suitable sword type, he is wholeheartedly preparing for making swords, and does not care about anything else at all, but your concerns I know it too. I won't tell you. If you want to be admitted to the Prosecution Department, just do it. Although it will affect the possibility of your father passing on your true biography, it doesn't matter. First of all, because of my uncle's relationship, even if he is unlucky this time, I will He knows your hard work. Besides, when he sees your talent, he will naturally know that you are the chosen swordsmith. If he still doesn't care, just worship me as your teacher. I will never hide my secrets."
Tang Zhao said: "I completely rely on my sister."
There were no setbacks on Si Liyu's side. Just as Xing Ji said, he couldn't get what he asked for and agreed immediately.
A few people packed up and set off in the early morning.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Xue Mansion again. It was nearly a month later, and the autumn wind was even colder.
The ginkgo forest on the mountain is no longer golden and brilliant, and the curly leaves have been blown to pieces by the north wind, revealing dry branches.
Winter is coming and everything is dying.
The walls of Xue Mansion are still very high, and the four characters on the lintel are still shining brightly.
"Suppress one side."
When Tang Zhao stood at the door and looked at these four words before, he only felt that the Xue family was arrogant and overpowering others. Now when he looked at it again, it felt different.
Xue Laiyi indeed used himself to suppress Yifang Taiping.
"Woof——woo——"
The door was ajar, and the old man who answered the door had long disappeared. Occasionally, two dogs barked from the door.
Xing Ji said: "That's Xue Laiyi's dog. At that time, everyone in the house was evacuated, and several loyal servants were forcibly dismissed. Only those dogs refused to go with others, so they simply stayed with him."
Tang Zhao said: "Does Master Xue have no relatives?"
Xing Ji said: "This old boy is not married, he can come and go freely, and he was living a very leisurely life. Many Sanren are like this, they all pursue swordsmanship and look for their own sword all their lives. Only when they get old can they find it. My anger has dissipated, so I went home to get married. On the contrary, the Talisman Sword Master is at peace. When it's time to get married, when it's time to have children, he won't delay refining the talisman."
Xue Ye said: "This is how life should be. Career is career, life is life. There are so many fun things in the world, why not enjoy more of them?"
Tang Zhao thought of all kinds of weird magic weapons in her house, as well as the ubiquitous owl element. She must be a person who loves life.
Hearing the dogs barking loudly, Tang Zhao worriedly asked, "Do those dogs have anything to eat?"
Xue Ye said: "Don't worry, I left a talisman made by my father and feed them every day. They may... be worried about their master."
Several people entered the door, walked through the corridor, and came to Xue Laiyi's bedroom.
Before entering, Xue Yeyu pulled Tang Zhao and said, "Don't cry when you see him later."
Tang Zhao said: "How could it be?" He didn't like to cry - although he and Xue Daxia had a close relationship, they were not close relatives after all. Even if they met each other, they would be sad, so why cry?
Pushing open the bedroom door, a strange smell hit my face. It seemed like corruption and blood. The smell was so strong that it broke through the nasal membranes and reached the brain.
In addition, there was a strong scent of sandalwood in the room. The aroma could not suppress the strange smell. Instead, it mixed with the strange smell to form an indescribable smell.
Tang Zhao glanced inside and suddenly covered his mouth and nose.
Not only suppresses the smell, but also suppresses the sourness at the tip of the nose.
He suddenly understood what Xue Yeyu meant. It wasn't even about feelings. There were some tragic scenes that made people want to cry when they saw them.
Xue Daxia was lying on his back on the bed. He was covered in circles of cloth strips, which could not cover the festering wounds on his body. A light liquid oozed from the cloth strips, giving off a rotten smell.
Tang Zhao suddenly understood the white-haired man's hatred. If this was the inevitable end of the sword slave, then he couldn't help but hate him.
But if it weren't for his golden finger, he would have been like this by the white-haired man, and this hatred would spread down the chain.
Not everyone knows this principle: don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you.
"Master Xue." Xing Ji checked and said, "His condition is not good recently. I have been sealing his acupuncture points and he is unconscious. What do you want to do?"
Tang Zhao pinched his own throat to wake himself up, and said: "Please go out first. Teacher Si, please wait outside. I tell you to come in quickly."
