Tang Zhao didn't expect someone to answer the call and was startled. When he suddenly turned around and saw the person coming, he was even more shocked and said, "What are you doing here?"
It turned out that the only old lady at the party quietly walked up to him at some point and was asking with a smile.
She was so close, but Tang Zhao didn't notice it at all, and his heart trembled: Her movement skills are so powerful, far superior to mine! This is an expert!
Recalling the performance of this old woman at the banquet, she was a distraction at every turn. She just felt that there was something very interesting about her, her purpose was very unclear, and her strength was so amazing. Tang Zhao couldn't help but be surprised. Although he was surrounded by his own people, he would not be able to catch anyone by surprise. He was done, but he still broke into a cold sweat and forced a smile.
The old woman smiled and said: "I made the little swordsman laugh. It is not a gentleman's behavior to listen to people's whispers. Even if you occasionally hear a word, you should turn a deaf ear. But the swordsman just mentioned that there seems to be something wrong with him. The people who arrived made me feel a little bit nervous. I have no other skills, but I have some eyesight, and I am good at finding cats and catching dogs. Especially since I came to the mountain, I have been taken care of by the villa, but I didn’t bring any gifts. I feel really ashamed. , I wonder if I can use this matter to help and make up for this gift?"
Tang Zhao only thought it was ridiculous. This old woman was really outspoken. Why are we looking for someone to do this to you? Who are you? Said: "This... this is my private matter, I don't dare to work with distinguished guests."
The old woman did not flinch at all and said with a smile: "Of course it is a private matter. Although the swordsman did not mention his name just now, I guess he is looking for the whereabouts of Shi Chunqing?"
Tang Zhao was surprised at first, and then speechless for a moment: Even if you guessed it, wouldn't it be good if you revealed it?
The old woman smiled and said: "Although I am ignorant, I have heard of this person's name. It is said that Guizhuang hurriedly made swords for him. But this person was not seen at the sword-making meeting, which is indeed against common sense. Could it be that you are? Do you suspect that he has been lurking in the village, waiting for the critical moment to intervene? Today is a happy event for the success of the sword, so you naturally don’t want to just focus on guarding against thieves and miss the joyful and festive time. I think you probably plan to use bait to attract him out ? This strategy is good, but it is passive. If we can take the initiative to find it and arrest it at the door, wouldn't it be that the time, location, people and people are all in our hands, and the overall situation is under control? "
Tang Zhao was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself: If she guessed so much, then those words at the banquet were not unintentional? Hearing what she said became more and more truthful, he was also a little curious and said: "This is our own home, and we can't find him. How can we be sure that we can find him on the first day the heroine goes up the mountain?"
The old woman smiled and said: "There are specialties in the art industry. I have been pointing to a pair of eyes for years. Maybe I can find one?"
Tang Zhao looked at her and felt that the old woman's eyes were bottomless, like the stars in the sky, vast and deep, and he was slightly shocked.
At the same time, the old woman was also looking at Tang Zhao and spoke first: "What beautiful eyes, like the clear sky, clean and clear. These are the bright eyes I have rarely seen in so many years. Even though it is the first time we meet, Looking at eyes like this, I also thought that I should do a little more."
Tang Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment. He lowered his head and thought, and suddenly said: "Are you a swordsman... a swordsman?"
The old woman nodded with a smile and said: "If he were a swordsman, wouldn't he be in the sky long ago?"
Most people would not dare to speak like this... Tang Zhao pondered for a moment and said slowly: "A long time ago, I heard of a sword that was famous for its ability to see the light of a candle. The so-called ability to see thousands of miles, to have a far-sighted vision..."
The old woman didn't seem to understand the meaning of his words at all, and smiled: "Oh? I heard it a long time ago... When did you hear it? Will it last a long, long time?"
Her focus was very strange, but Tang Zhao patiently explained: "It was really a long time ago. When I first... it should be the second time I met Mr. Xing. Because at that time I wanted to keep up with him. , but he didn’t want to accept it, so he took out a gem like an eye for me to look at. I still remember that when I looked at the gem, my mind was stimulated, and I felt that I could see the world very clearly, as if I had another pair of eyes. Later I You know, it is a magic weapon. The magic weapon can distinguish the level of my inspiration, and I can feel the effect of the magic weapon. Therefore, the sword from which the magic weapon comes is probably also a sword with a gaze like a torch."
He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If the magic weapon hadn't recognized my talent for inspiration, Mr. Xing might have done more than done, so he let me go. My fate at that time would have been completely different from what it is now. Thinking about it now, That was also the beginning of all fate.”
The old woman listened very seriously, nodded slowly and said: "I didn't expect such a fate. It's just a matter of fate."
Tang Zhao suddenly said: "You are familiar with Mr. Xing, right?"
The old woman nodded and smiled: "That's quite familiar."
For some reason, Tang Zhao also laughed and said: "How about this? The matter of finding Shi Chunqing is indeed my private matter. Logically speaking, I shouldn't rely on any external help. But I really want to lend you a pair of insight, but I still have concerns. Mr. Xing is one of my own, and if he can vouch for you, then you are one of our own, so I can confidently borrow your help."
The old woman said: "This is an interesting idea. Well, let's find a private place and let him vouch for me." She said it logically, as if he must vouch for her as soon as the execution comes. If he doesn't vouch for it, he is not a human being. of.
Tang Zhao was not surprised and said: "Then please go to my Jianlu. I will take you there -"
The old woman waved her hand and said: "I'll go by myself. If you, the host, invite me away from the banquet openly, people will think something big has happened. I'll go first, and you and Xing Ji will sneak out of the banquet. Yours Where is Jianlu?"
Tang Zhao had no choice but to point out his Jianlu to her, because it was right by the water, so it wasn't difficult to find it. The old woman nodded and said: "Remember, I'll go first, you call Xingji. Oh, by the way, just call Xingji, forget about the others."
Tang Zhao asked: "My master..."
The old woman said: "I also admire Master Xue, but today's business is important, why bother asking other people to cause trouble? Even your old friend -" She poked Mr. Gui's head, and Mr. Gui glared at him, "Don't do that either. Brought it."
Tang Zhao couldn't resist her, so he had no choice but to agree and watch her leave quietly. Then he put Mr. Gui on the table and went straight to find Xing Ji.
Turtle Master saw that Tang Zhao left without hesitation, but he hesitated to speak. He actually wanted to tell Tang Zhao about Zhu Yang. The old crocodile had recently been troubled by the boy from Yuanji Palace in Beihai, and he was quite intimidated. Ask Tang Zhao how to deal with it?
But there was no chance to say it at this time, so it stopped talking. If you think about it carefully, this matter is Zhu Yang's fault. It has nothing to do with Tang Zhao?
Tang Zhao and Zhu Yang have never dealt with each other before, and letting him live in the swamp is already very tolerant. Do they have to cover up the enemies he has made before?
Zhu Yang can deal with Mr. Guang's matter if he can. If he can't, he can ask Jiang Shenyi for help or Jin Chan can escape his shell again. What Mr. Turtle should do more is to keep an eye on this old crocodile, and don't let him use his rough methods to bring Zhuoyu Villa into trouble with enemies as big as the seven major forces.
To put it bluntly, the turtle and the crocodile are not originally together, and they just go their own way.
Xing Ji was discussing secretly with Wang Fei, and the result was already in place. He sent Wang Fei away first, and then heard that Tang Zhao was looking for him. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "I said, can't you be pure for a while?"
Tang Zhao also felt a little sorry and said: "This time it was an accident... It was really the last accident. I didn't expect that she would come to the door. Now that she has spoken, how can I shirk it? Think on the bright side, Apart from this matter, what else counts? This counts as once and for all.”
Xing Ji angrily said: "It's a fart once and for all! It's better to call it a day. Just close your eyes and kick your legs to stop everything. Do you know how much effort I put in just to avoid her? I thought I could hide here with you, but I didn't When I think about it, I'm just throwing myself into a trap. That's all, this is the end of it."
As soon as he turned around, he saw Wang Fei looking over curiously. Xingji laughed dryly and said, "Sir, wait a moment. I'm going to give you a hint."
For a while, the two of them escaped from the table. It is easy for Xing Ji to escape from the banquet, but as the focus of the banquet, it is difficult for Tang Zhao to stay out of everyone's sight for a long time. In the end, Tang Zhao simply asked Wei Se to look at the situation and leave it alone. If he really wanted to find him, he would change his appearance and take his place for a while. After the explanation, the two came to the waterside plank road to meet.
At this time, the whole villa was busy with the sword-making meeting, and the plank road by the water seemed particularly quiet. Walking along the plank road, even if your steps are as light as Tang Zhao, you will unconsciously make a "creak" sound.
Tang Zhao's Sword Cottage is at the deepest point. Walking over from the plank road, you can see Shi Chunqing's square Sword Cottage, Xu Zhongnan's Taoist Temple, Zhu Ying's White Mist Spirit Grass, Xue Yeyu's Owl Forest...
I remember that when he first visited this place, Shi Chunqing's sword hut was in good condition, but Xu Zhongnan's sword hut was very sparse. But now, at least within a few days, the Taoist temple will welcome its old owner, and it will inevitably be lively for a few days, but Shi Chunqing's Jianlu will inevitably fall into decline for a long time.
At that time, Xu Zhongnan went down the mountain in anger, and his sword house was completely preserved on the mountain. However, Shi Chunqing's situation is completely different from his. What should he do with his Jianlu?
After passing Jiang Shenyi's Winged Sword Cottage, Tang Zhao and Xingji came to his Sword Cottage.
There is a small attic in Jianlu. Although it is narrow, it is the place with the best view in Jianlu. The old woman was standing on the attic, with her white hair floating slightly. She looked across the fence, and she didn't feel that she was old-fashioned, but she felt that she was very elegant.
Xing Ji watched from below, swallowing softly, showing an expression that Tang Zhao had never seen on his face before - tangled, uneasy and a little timid.
Finally, he flattened his white clothes, then said "Follow me" to Tang Zhao, and walked up the steps.
After going up to the attic, the old woman turned around, her smile was much lighter than before, it could almost be said that it was a half-smile but not a smile, and said: "Finally here?"
Tang Zhao couldn't help but feel a shiver on his back. Xingji lowered his head, saluted and said, "Xingji, see you."
