Siheyuan has become a scarce resource in Kyoto, and it is also a kind of culture. Ordinary courtyard houses still have a chance to do it. There has been no market for the second courtyard courtyard for many years. As for the third courtyard courtyard, it is already a cultural relic, a heritage and a symbol.
"Grandpa, I'm just thinking about it. In fact, what I want to do most is to buy a piece of land in the suburbs, build a Chinese-style garden villa, and then dig a lake in front of the villa, plant lotus roots in it, and stock all kinds of fish and shrimps , and build a few more boats. In the summer, you pick lotus, catch lobsters, and eels; in the winter, you dig lotus roots and release the water for fishing. That’s what life is.”
Li Mo said yearningly as he walked.
"Why do you sound like you want to live in seclusion? You want to be lazy at such a young age."
"Haha, I just want to create a more suitable and comfortable retirement environment for my grandparents."
Li Mo chuckled.
Shi Lao's eyes changed a little, but in the end, this grandson was the most considerate.
The two entered the third courtyard and saw a man in his forties waiting at the door. He was wearing a straight tunic suit and his hair was combed meticulously. Li Mo's eyes fell on his shoulder, which was a brilliant golden five-pointed star.
"Shi Lao, please come this way."
"I will go out to pick up this boy. Could you please come out to greet him?"
"Yes, I have heard of Li Mo's legend a long time ago. If he enters the military, I would like to take him with me and train him properly."
"Hahaha, this kid is very lazy. If we really let him join the military, he will most likely hide and not show up. Let's go and see the old leader."
Li Mo followed the two of them into a study room. The study room was very large, covering an area of forty or fifty square meters. There was a table, a chair, the Four Treasures of the Study Room, and a set of enclosed leisure sofas and coffee tables.
There are swords of different styles hanging on the surrounding walls.
At this moment, three people were sitting there drinking tea. One of them was about eighty years old and thin, but sitting there he was exuding a powerful aura.
Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man in his fifties and a young man in his thirties. They looked a little reserved, half-sitting on the sofa, with their legs together and their waists straight.
"Old chief, I brought Xiao Mo here."
The oldest old man turned to look at Li Mo.
Li Mo's eyes met her, and immediately his spine went numb, his heart beat violently, and his legs became weak and he almost couldn't stand.
What a sharp look, such a big aura, and such strong pressure.
But he persisted, straightened his back, his eyes became calm, and his breathing gradually became steady.
"Okay, some tea."
The old man suddenly spit out three words.
Shi Lao immediately beamed and smiled. His strange grandson was so proud of him. He actually stood up under the gaze of the old leader and performed particularly well.
The other three people in the study were also very surprised. To be honest, the old chief had met some outstanding young people before, but the one who stood out the most was Li Mo.
Li Mo knew that he had passed the first level. He hurriedly walked to the coffee table, picked up the teapot, poured half a cup of tea into the teacup in front of the old leader, and said respectfully: "Please drink tea."
The old man did not drink tea, but asked: "Tell me, what was the first thought in your mind when you first saw me?"
The other four people immediately looked at him. The old leader was not playing his cards according to the rules.
Li Mo didn't hesitate at all and replied loudly: "Although the Tiger King is old, he is extremely powerful."
The old man's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and the others were stunned for a moment and then looked surprised.
This answer was absolutely perfect. Not only did he dare to say it, he also said it naturally without any hesitation, which shows that this was really his first thought.
In the past, the old chief would ask other people similar questions, but most of those people's answers were quite satisfactory and cautious.
"Um."
The old man then picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Gu Chi
"I learned my treasure appraisal skills from my master. Is your master more powerful?"
"Teacher, preach, teach, and resolve doubts. Master is my guide and light. My master often says that green comes from blue and is better than blue. In fact, I don't agree. Compared with blue, blue is more beautiful, just like the sky. , like the sea.”
The study was very quiet.
Li Mo did not answer the old man's question directly, but everyone already understood what he meant. Moreover, his answer can make people feel a little moved, which shows that Master's status in his heart is so high and so sacred.
"Baby, it's good."
The old man said four words.
At this time, the young man next to the old man got up and walked to the desk. He came over with a long box in his hands and carefully placed it on the coffee table.
"Mr. Li please."
It seems that what is contained in this long box is the sword that needs to be identified.
Li Mo opened the lid of the long box. Inside was a long sword, lying in a sword mold made of yellow velvet. The scabbard and hilt of this sword are gray-black, without any carving patterns on the surface. It is simple and unpretentious. At first glance, it gives people a very special shock, the kind of simple beauty that touches people's hearts.
"Offended."
Li Mo took out the long sword with both hands. He held the hilt in his right hand and gently drew out a finger. The sword seemed to exude a chill.
When he looked at it with strange eyes, the sword emitted a faint milky white halo, which meant that the sword had some history, and it must have been fifty or sixty years old.
"Baby, tell me."
Li Mo put the sword back into the box, shook his head and replied, "It's hard to say."
"Xiao Mo, the old chief asked you to talk, so just tell me. It's hard to say." Shi Lao was a little anxious. This kid was performing so well just now, why did he start to fall off the chain at the critical moment.
"Turnip greens, all have love."
Li Mo answered in a confused manner.
Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly laughed after hearing this, and he smiled very happily.
"Xiao Shi, your grandson is very interesting. I like it."
Shi Lao was very happy to see the old chief, and said humbly: "Old chief, why didn't I hear what it meant?"
"He means that this sword is actually an ordinary sword, but as long as I like it, this sword is a good sword. Interesting, very interesting."
The old man laughed for a while, pointed around and said, "I like this kid. Some of the swords hanging on the wall were collected by me when I was young, some were given by my old friends, and some were bought by younger members of the family from abroad. Li Mo, you If you like that sword, I’ll give it to you.”
The people in the study were moved after hearing this. These are the old chief's favorite things. Not to mention that he took the initiative to reward them to the juniors. Even the juniors in the family couldn't touch them. This shows that Li Mo had a really good impression on him.
"Old chief, this is absolutely impossible." Shi Lao declined quickly. He said this, but in fact he felt happy in his heart. If Li Mo really walked out of the study room today with a sword, then basically no one would be able to trouble him in the future as long as he didn't commit any evil deeds that were outraged by both humans and gods, and that caused the wrath of heaven and earth.
"Xiao Shi, I didn't give it to you." The old man looked at Li Mo and continued with a faint smile, "Some of the swords in it have their origins, and some of them are just beautiful. I would like to see how you know how to do it." Which one to pick out.”
"It stands to reason that the elders gave them to me, so I dare not refuse them. But these swords are the old man's favorite. I feel guilty when I take one, and I really don't dare to act rashly."
"Young people can't learn how to grind like other people. If I ask you to choose one, just choose one."
The old man said with a tigerish face.
"You brat, why don't you thank me quickly?"
Shi Lao wished he could drag Li Mo to the wall with his own hands.
Li Mo had no choice but to salute the old man, then walked to the wall and started looking. There are so many kinds of swords hanging on the wall of the study, some are simple and plain, and some are magnificent inlaid with gems. He opened his special pupils and walked forward slowly.
He passed by the first wall, passed by the second wall, but when he was about to finish the third wall, a sword fell into his strange eyes.
A dark blue halo of light was transmitted from the sword body, forming circles of dark blue light that spread out. The world in front of him suddenly turned into the boundless sky and the deep sea.
