Just when Yu Zhi was about to give up at the Sword-Making Pear Blossom Village, he heard a sword chant.
A breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness.
And the fallen leaves on the ground also danced.
"Useful?" Yu Zhi was pleasantly surprised.
He did not activate the token anymore. The token was still floating in the air and no longer needed the help of true energy.
The yellow leaves are flying, rising into the sky, and drifting towards the sky.
The sound of sword chants can be heard endlessly, but there is no shadow of the sword.
Li Wantong said: "Perhaps this senior swordsmith has left some restrictions. Only by breaking these restrictions can we find the sword here."
Yu Zhi nodded, these sword chants were by no means groundless.
There is a sword hidden in Lihua Xiaozhu, but where the sword is, Yu Zhi needs to find it.
Yu Zhi vaguely felt that this small pear blossom building was not simple.
"Look for clues." Yu Zhi and the other two walked into Lihua Xiaozhu's room.
The furnishings in the room are very simple, except for the furniture needed for daily use, there is nothing superfluous.
And all items are for one person.
"It seems like one person lives here alone." Yu Zhi said.
Li Wantong sat down at the desk. On the desk were pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and a book with a few pages open.
"This should be the note left by the swordsmith." Li Wantong said.
Li Wantong picked up the book and started reading.
The handwriting is very delicate, probably written by a girl.
"On the sixth day of February, it's sunny and snowy."
"There is still some snow on Zhujian Mountain, and it still feels a bit cold. Ah Qi, you know I am most afraid of the cold. I really want to stay in bed all day."
"Oh, but that damn old man came early in the morning and asked me to go to the Sword House to forge swords. This girl is really mad at me!"
It really is a girl's house... Li Wantong thought to himself.
Yu Zhi said: "Female swordsmiths are really rare."
"In terms of strength, men are probably stronger. This girl can forge swords at the Sword Making Mountain, so she is probably very talented." Li Wantong said.
Yu Zhi nodded. He thought of Zong Linyue from Baiyan Valley. Her refined body was by no means weaker than that of a man.
Li Wantong turned to the next page.
"February 19th, light rain."
"Suddenly, a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom."
"Ahem, I solemnly declare that I am also a scholar. Ah Qi, when you see me, you have to call me sir. However, with the spring breeze last night, not many flowers in the pear forest bloomed. I asked the old man, and he said it would take some time."
"Ah Qi, it's not that I have a bad memory. In the past years, I never remembered any dates when you were here."
"The first day of March is sunny."
"I've been really exhausted these past few days. The old man forced me to make the sword. Opening and closing your mouth is the last year of a century-old sword. You can't be careless."
"I do think that the sword is very good in the last year. If it lasts until the end, it is also very good. However, a sword that is only one year short of ninety-nine years will probably make that damn old man angry to death."
"No, no, the old man can't die. Although he is bad, he is very good to me."
Yu Zhi was startled and said, "Could this be talking about Po Qiong? The owner of Lihua Xiaozhu is Po Qiong's swordsmith?"
Li Wantong touched the paper, shook his head slightly and said: "The material of this page is very rough, it doesn't look like it was written in recent years. I'm afraid it's a diary written a hundred years ago."
"Judging from the tone of the owner of the diary, she must be young. At such an age, she can participate in the casting of a century-old sword. She is definitely a monster in sword-making." Yu Zhi praised.
The two of them continued to turn the pages of the book, writing down diaries on each page, either one or two days apart, or four or five days apart.
Each page contains a few sentences, describing the mood.
And a name will appear on almost every page - Ah Qi.
Who is Ah Qi?
"The sixth day of April is sunny."
"It's rare to have such a sunny day in spring. I didn't go to Jianlu today. I suddenly wanted to take a walk in the pear forest, take a nap in the afternoon, and then go for a walk in the pear forest."
"Well, it's so boring, probably because the sword is about to be cast. The old man said that as soon as the sword is cast, he will let me go down the mountain to look for you. Ah Qi, where are you? I haven't seen you for so long. Write to me. Well, when I find you, I will beat you to pieces."
"April 21, sunny."
"In the past few days, the pear blossoms in the pear forest have been blooming one after another. There is nothing like the spring breeze coming overnight. These pear blossoms are blooming one after another."
"In a few days, the whole pear forest will bloom. Ah Qi, will you come back to see the flowers?"
"April 22, rain."
"Ah Qi, I heard bad news."
"April 23, rain."
"Ah Qi, the pear blossoms are blooming, where are you?"
"April 24, sunny."
"Ah Qi, I'm here to find you."
Li Wantong put down the diary. After April 24, there was no more handwriting.
Yu Zhi flipped through the pages, and the diary stopped at the last date of April 24, and at the girl's last words - I'm here to find you.
"No more?" Yu Zhi asked.
Li Wantong responded: "No more."
"The diary ended in a hurry. Something important must have happened that made her leave in a hurry." Li Wantong closed the diary and said.
Yu Zhi sighed. "The last few days were written very briefly. She left probably because of the bad news."
Suddenly, the Jianlu token floating outside the house fell to the ground.
The sound of sword chanting also disappeared.
When Yu Zhi walked out of the house, he happened to see Xiao Jun'er walking into Lihua Xiaozhu with Nanny Lin and Shi San.
"Princess, I have followed you all the way. Aren't you tired?" Yu Zhi smiled slightly.
He had known that Xiao Jun'er was following him, but he didn't care.
Xiao Juner said harshly: "Who said I was following you? I just happened to meet you."
Yu Zhi did not refute and picked up the Jianlu token on the ground.
"Wait a minute and return my princess's token to me." Xiao Jun'er begged.
Yu Zhicai ignored Xiao Jun'er and said, "Is your name written on it?"
With that said, Yu Zhi turned around and left Xiao Jun'er with his back, leaving Xiao Jun'er angry alone.
Nanny Lin couldn't help but chuckle in her heart. She actually felt that the angry Xiao Jun'er was even more cute.
After all, there are very few people who can make Xiao Jun'er angry. Either he is afraid of Xiao Jun'er, or he respects Xiao Jun'er.
Li Wantong, who was in the room, was looking through other books, most of which were stories about gods, gods, and ghosts.
Apart from the diary just now, there is no handwriting of the swordsmith.
"Could the sword chanting in the courtyard be the century-old sword mentioned in the diary?" Li Wantong guessed.
Yu Zhi also thought it was very possible. "Logically speaking, if it is really a century-old sword, it should not be stored here, but in that sword house."
Li Wantong didn't say much, she continued to look at the books on the table.
Yu Zhi started walking around the room. The room is elegant and extremely simple. It can be imagined that the girl who lives here is also an easy-going and simple person.
In front of the dressing table, Yu Zhi picked up a hairpin. The head of the hairpin was a pear blossom carved from white jade, which was extremely delicate.
It can be seen that this girl also loves beauty.
"It's so beautiful." Xiao Jun'er snatched the pear blossom hairpin from Yu Zhi's hand.
As she said that, she was going to put the hairpin on her head.
Yu Zhi frowned and said, "This is someone else's thing. Just look at it and don't wear it randomly."
How could Xiao Jun'er listen to Yu Zhi's words?
"You are only allowed to take things here and there, but I am not allowed to try this hairpin? Why should I listen to you?"
Xiao Jun'er just wants Yu Zhi to confront him.
Yu Zhi shook his head helplessly.
Quality is not something everyone can have.
But the moment Xiao Jun'er put on the pear hairpin, a cold murderous intention suddenly fell on Xiao Jun'er.
The sword energy burst out, and the sword roar sounded again.
There seemed to be someone whispering among the turbulent sword chants.
Xiao Jun'er obviously did not have the terrifying sword energy to attack her.
"Princess, be careful!" Nanny Lin shouted
The third servant also rushed forward to save Xiao Juner.
But both of them were still outside the house, and their speed couldn't match that terrifying sword energy.
Xiao Jun'er was in a panic, and her figure seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move. This is because of uncontrollable panic.
The breath of death was approaching, and she seemed to see herself becoming a corpse.
Yu Zhi, who was so close, didn't have time to think about it, and suddenly thought,
The figure twinkled like a star and appeared in front of Xiao Jun'er.
The sound of sword chanting can be clearly heard, and the killing intent is bone-piercing.
Xiao Jun'er felt a figure blocking her face, but there was still no reaction.
"The Golden Bell"!
Yu Zhi clasped his hands together and held up a golden shadow, shrouding himself and Xiao Jun'er in it.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
Sword energy coming from all directions hit Jin Zhong Xuying, making dull sounds one after another.
In an instant, the shadow of the golden bell shattered.
Yu Zhi never thought that these sword energies would be so terrifying.
But a few breaths of obstruction also gave Nanny Lin and Waiter San time to react.
The true energy surged, and invisible power rippled from Granny Lin's body, dispelling the sword energy.
The third servant was also guarding Xiao Jun'er, not daring to move rashly.
"Princess, are you okay?" the third servant asked.
Xiao Jun'er still didn't come to her senses. She held the pear blossom hairpin in her hand and stared blankly at Yu Zhi's back in front of her.
Yu Zhi turned around and took away the pear hairpin.
"Don't touch me!" Yu Zhi said calmly.
Xiao Juner's eyes changed and he looked at Yu Zhi.
Did he save me?
Yu Zhi put the pear hairpin back to its original position and did not dare to move it.
"This is the sword energy left by the owner of Lihua Xiaozhu. Tong'er, it's better not to touch the things in the house." Yu Zhi said cautiously.
Li Wantong nodded, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Nanny Lin said to Yu Zhi: "Mr. Yu, please return the princess's exquisite tower. This is the princess's protective object. If it hadn't been taken away by you, the danger just now would not have happened."
Yu Zhi spread his hands and said helplessly: "It's my fault."
Yu Zhi still handed over the Linglong Tower and returned it to Xiao Yuner.
Of course, he didn't forget to use his venomous tongue.
"If your realm is low, don't follow other people's lead and wander around. Isn't it better to act arrogantly in Qingcheng?"
Nanny Lin was thinking about starting another quarrel.
However, surprisingly, Xiao Juner did not refute this time.
At this time, Li Wantong suddenly murmured: "Ah Qi, is that you?"
"Tong'er, what did you say?" Yu Zhi asked doubtfully.
Li Wantong looked at the pear blossom hairpin and said, "The whisper in the sword chant just now was exactly this sentence!"
Ah Qi, is that you?
