Until one day decades later, a letter was delivered to the Wu family.
"You want the sword that the old man hid? Where is that place?" Wu Sansheng looked at the letter in his hand and after making sure it was not a secret message, he couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
The old man had never heard anything about it, and there was no information about it at home. The sword had been hidden by the old man for as long as he could remember. Not only were they not allowed to see it, they were not even allowed to get close. The only thing they knew was That's a sword.
It can be seen that this incident happened at least several decades ago, and the other party still remembers what happened decades ago. Either it is a serious matter, or it has some special commemorative significance, but if it is If there is any commemorative significance, there will be no records in the family, so it seems that this matter must be of great importance.
After Wu Sansheng thought about it, he felt that it was necessary to investigate the matter. However, the old man of the Wu family just passed away last year, and the other party was obviously testing to see if he was still qualified to cooperate.
So if you want to explore this matter, you can only go to Mr. Wu's old friends. Wu Sansheng naturally knows what Mr. Wu did when he was young, and immediately decided to go to Shangsha to look for clues.
"You mean, someone asked you for that sword?" The hundred-year-old Er Erhong's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring closely at Wu Sansheng.
"Yes, they also said to go to that place, but I have searched all the information at home and don't know where that place is."
Wu Sansheng naturally knew the identity of the man in front of him. Although this man was a hundred years old, his sharp eyes still made him feel a lot of pressure, so he immediately told what happened in detail.
"You did a good job, and you knew how to ask us old guys." Er Erhong nodded. The third child of the Wu family was smart enough not to let the other side see the truth.
Then Er Erhong asked Wu Sansheng to wait outside for a while, while he made a few phone calls in the room. Wu Sansheng couldn't hear what was said inside, and suddenly felt like there were ants crawling in his heart.
After waiting for a long time, Er Erhong called Wu Sansheng to come in.
"Boy from the Wu family, our nine sects actually brought this sword back together. At that time, we just asked your father to keep it. I didn't expect that it would be kept for decades."
Wu Sansheng was stunned when Er Er Hong's words came out astonishingly. He didn't think Er Er Hong wanted to hack his sword, but Wu San Sheng knew the strength of Jiu Sect before. In the event, it is enough to explain a lot of things.
When Er Erhong saw Wu Sansheng's expression, she knew what Wu Sansheng was thinking, so she said lightly: "It seems you also know what this means. Back then, when all nine of us went out together, we only brought back the sword. The decline of the Nine Gates has a lot to do with that time."
Wu Sansheng was immediately interested. He was not a sweet boy, and of course he wanted to know more about this kind of big tomb that could frustrate the Nine Sects.
But with Er Erhong's experience over the years, she can naturally see the Xiao Jiujiu in his heart.
"Since we brought this sword back together, and now that the Fifth Master has passed away, naturally this sword should be decided by us, are you right?"
When Wu Sansheng heard this, he was unable to refute, so he could only bow his head and say: "Yes, it should be up to you to decide both emotionally and rationally."
"Okay, in that case, then you give the sword to them, but remember to let them come and get it. Your people must not get close to the sword. Just pretend this never happened."
Seeing that the third child of the Wu family was so sensible, Er Erhong couldn't help but nodded, secretly thinking that the old dog was very lucky.
Wu Sansheng was stunned again. He originally thought that Er Erhong thought he was young and didn't want to take him with him, but he didn't expect that she wanted to give the sword to the other party, which puzzled him.
"Can't you figure it out?"
Er Erhong knew that he would definitely not understand, and Wu Sansheng nodded honestly.
"Do you think we kept this sword until now just to go to that place again?"
"Isn't it?" Wu Sansheng feels that when you are with these old men, your brain is always not enough. They seem to have countless secrets that you want to explore but can't start.
"Oh, we kept the sword back then just to wait for the rightful owner to come and have an explanation, hoping that the big deal would be turned into a trivial matter.
For this reason, you gave the sword to your father for safekeeping, and asked his dogs to keep an eye on it all day long, and no one was allowed to get close.
Even so, I have often been frightened over the years, fearing that the rightful owner would still be grudged after he comes to visit us. It doesn't matter that we are all old, but you are all still young.
But now that someone is willing to come forward, we will give them the sword quickly. From now on, this matter will have nothing to do with us.
Boy from the Wu family, I know that you are young and naturally have the energy to refuse to admit defeat, but this matter is not a matter for you alone or your sect, but for everyone in the nine sects.
There are elderly people in their seventies and eighties, middle-aged people with successful careers and happy families, young people full of vigor, and children waiting to be fed.
Once you use some caution, these people may be killed by you, so you have to think carefully and don't make a mistake that will lead to eternal hatred. "
Er Erhong spoke very seriously, and Wu Sansheng had a layer of sweat on his forehead. At that time, he really wanted to use some tricks to see the big tomb that could bring down all the nine sects. how is it like.
At worst, he could just take a peek outside. If he didn't go in, there wouldn't be any danger, right?
But after hearing Er Erhong's serious words, he wanted to bet the fate of everyone in the Nine Sects on him. He also knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately promised: "Don't worry, I will honestly let you go." They took the sword away."
"That's good, remember you can't touch that sword. Even if you are curious and want to take a look, you must hide from a high place and watch. You must not crowd around the sword. That is the same as committing suicide."
Er Erhong was also very satisfied with the third child of the Wu family. He was a little clever but understood the general situation and took the overall situation into consideration, so she immediately made another point.
"I'm not letting you see that sword to satisfy your curiosity. I'm letting you remember that if you encounter someone who can use that sword in the future, you must hide as far away as possible. It can also be regarded as a reward for your family to keep that sword. So many years."
After saying that, he waved his hand to signal Wu Sansheng to help himself. Upon seeing this, Wu Sansheng said goodbye and left.
Wu Sansheng was confused when he came today, and he was also confused when he left. He seemed to know something, but he seemed to know nothing. Sure enough, the experience and experience of these older generations are not just a few notebooks or two. It can be recorded completely.
But thinking of Er Erhong's last instructions, my heart suddenly became hot again. After returning to Hangzhou, I immediately replied to the person who wrote the letter and asked them to pick it up by themselves, while I picked a good position early. , he would like to see what this sword looks like and deserves to be treated with such caution.
While waiting, Wu Sansheng suddenly remembered something. He took out his mobile phone and edited a message, "I have something important to do, come here quickly." Then he waited patiently.
"Third uncle, third uncle?"
Half an hour later, Wu Sansheng finally heard a familiar shout.
"You brat, here you are."
Wu Xie looked up and saw that Wu Sansheng was drinking tea in a small pavilion high up, and then ran up with a squeak.
"Third uncle, why are you climbing so high? Don't you say you have something important?" Wu Xie asked breathlessly.
"Young people are not in good physical condition. They need to exercise more." Wu Sansheng took a sip of tea and said leisurely.
"You ran all the way here and tried. As soon as I received your message, I closed the shop and rushed over. I didn't even dare to breathe on the way. Fortunately, you even drank tea."
Wu Xie saw that Wu Sansheng was so leisurely, so he knew it was not an urgent matter. He immediately sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, drinking it like a cow.
"Oh, my, that's not how you drink tea. Young people are just impatient and spoil things." Wu Sansheng looked at him as if he was drinking like a cow. After a while, half a pot of tea was gone, and he hurriedly held down Wu Xie's hand that was about to take the teapot. said.
Wu Xie wiped his mouth, thinking that you would make fun of me.
"Okay, if you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. After you finish talking, I can go back and open a shop. I can make several million dollars every minute."
Wu Sansheng looked disdainful. It would be great if your store didn't close down. You still have the nerve to make millions every minute. He immediately attacked and said:
"I called you here this time to see the treasure. You really have a good eye. Don't worry about your shabby little shop that is about to close down."
Wu Xie's attention was immediately attracted by the 'baby', and he didn't care that his third uncle said that his store was going to close down.
"Third uncle, you don't often use the word "baby". Where is it? Come and show me." Dangzhi looked at Wu Sansheng expectantly.
Wu Sansheng coughed twice and said calmly: "It's not yet time, do you think the baby can be seen if he wants to?"
"You have to dig up this treasure right now." Wu Xie suddenly lost interest. This old guy has always intrigued people. He doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd. Maybe he deliberately tricked him into coming back to drink tea with him.
"Do you still think that Third Uncle can't lie to you? To tell you the truth, not only you, but also me are lucky enough to see this treasure this time."
Wu Xie suddenly became interested again, and Wu Sansheng couldn't help but feel happy when he saw this. Young people still didn't practice enough, and they were caught so easily. No wonder those old guys didn't like to talk directly about anything.
Then he pointed to the house below facing this small pavilion, and gave Wu Xie a look that he understood.
Wu Xie understood instantly when he saw it, and asked excitedly: "Is it the sword that grandpa has been hiding?"
Wu Sansheng nodded.
Wu Xie rubbed his little hands, looking innocent and expectant.
"Uncle~, can you let me take some photos later? Of course, it would be great if you can touch it."
Wu Sansheng suddenly trembled.
"Don't give me such a dead look. We can only watch here. We must stay far away from the group of people who took the sword. If you can't do it, I will throw it out for you now."
Wu Xie suddenly had a look of doubt on his face and asked in confusion: "Isn't this sword ours? Who will take it away? And even if someone wants to take it away, we can't see the sword clearly here."
"Who told you that this sword belongs to our family? The old man only kept it for us back then. As for the problem of not being able to see clearly."
Wu Sansheng reached out and took out two telescopes from underneath, and said proudly: "Uncle San, I have already made arrangements."
Wu Xie was speechless and wanted to ask something else, but then Wu Sansheng either kept silent or talked about him. Seeing that he was really unwilling to talk, Wu Xie stopped pressing.
The two of them waited from morning to evening, but still no one came to pick up the sword. Wu Xie couldn't help but become impatient.
"Third uncle, when will the people you mentioned come? We can't just wait here until they come. I'm feeling cocooned on my butt."
Wu Sansheng just smiled faintly when he heard Wu Xie's complaint: "Young people must be patient. Do you know how rare this opportunity is? You have to wait here for a month, let alone a day."
"What is the origin of this sword? It's worthy of Grandpa hiding it for so many years. Why do we have to wait like this just to see it?"
Seeing that Wu Sansheng relaxed his tone, Wu Xie started to inquire about the news again.
"You kid, don't even try to pry out information from me. To be honest, I don't know the origin of this sword, but in the future, you should stay as far away from anyone who can use this sword as you can."
When Wu Sansheng saw Wu Xie, it was as if he saw himself in front of Er Erhong. Could it be that Er Erhong also knew little about this matter? Or I really don’t want to tell myself.
Wu Xie nodded perfunctorily, as if his master had stopped reading.
When Wu Sansheng saw this, he nodded his eyebrows and said seriously: "Don't think I'm trying to scare you. This warning comes from a senior. It's because our family has kept this sword for so many years. mine."
"Is it possible that this sword is not very clean?" Wu Xie was a little frightened when he saw Wu Sansheng was so serious. They all said that it is easy to see ghosts if you walk a lot at night. The older generation has been doing this for so many years, so don't really find them. What an evil thing.
"I don't know what's going on. Anyway, we will use the telescope here to see it. I don't believe it can fly over and give us a blow from such a distance."
Wu Xie originally wanted his third uncle to comfort him, but who knew that his third uncle also felt a little evil. He was so frightened that he shivered and felt that everything around him was chilly.
"Stop scaring yourself. Go back and rest. I'll call you when they come. Remember to turn on your phone 24 hours a day."
Wu Sansheng saw that Wu Xie was a little scared, so he immediately asked him to go back and rest. He originally thought that the group of people would come today, but who knew that the efficiency was so low, making them wait in vain all day.
And early the next morning, Wu Xie ran over again. The store usually didn't do much business anyway, so being closed for ten days and a half would have no impact at all. He was absent-mindedly thinking about the sword in the store. It's better to just come here and wait.
"Why are you here again, you brat? Are you making millions every minute?" Wu Sansheng teased when he saw Wu Xie coming to guard him.
"Hey, don't you know about my store? I'm afraid it won't be enough by then, so I just came here to guard it."
However, the uncle and nephew waited in vain for another day. It was not until nightfall that they went back cursing.
Wu Xie didn't come on the third day. He sat there all day with only his third uncle to accompany him, which was worse than guarding the store.
Wu Xie was just thinking about it when the phone rang suddenly. When he picked it up and saw that it was his third uncle, he jumped up and answered the call while running.
"Hey, Third Uncle, are they here?"
"Come on, you brat, I'm here to get the sword."
The two voices came out of the phone at the same time.
"Uncle Third, please delay for a while. I'll be there soon." After Wu Xie said that, he hung up the phone.
…
"Mr. Wu, when can we go get the sword? We have been waiting for almost half an hour." Aning looked at Wu Sansheng who had been stalling for time and asked politely.
"Don't be impatient. There are many dogs in that place that my father raised during his lifetime. Those dogs only recognize my father. We need to give us some time to get rid of them."
Wu Sansheng said calmly, while secretly cursing the brat in his heart for why he didn't come. He couldn't hold on any longer.
"Third uncle, third uncle!"
At this time Wu Xie ran in panting...
