In an instant, several people opened the door and shouted loudly almost at the same time:
Zhang Shaoqing: "Who?!"
Ling Zhiyan: "There is a thief!"
Mr. Lu: "My dear mother, what a ghost!"
Hua Yitang: "It's Yun Zhongyue!"
The last word "moon" jumped up with Lin Sui'an. Everyone saw that the little lady was like a dexterous and swift cheetah. She didn't know how to step on her feet. With a few clicks, she followed the tree trunks in the garden, Branches and branches flew up to the eaves, and the crisp white moonlight on the tiles was trampled to pieces, making a clattering sound. She raised her arm, and the dark green light came out of the scabbard and turned into thousands of streaming stars. , and killed the thief with the face of Mr. Lu.
The thief laughed provocatively, and his body bloomed like lotus petals in the water. In an instant, the door turned into five phantoms, drilling, dodging, dodging, leaping and hiding in the meteor-like sword light - flying up and down again. .
The moon tonight is round and big, like a jade plate. When the shadows of the two fighting are illuminated, their clothes and hair are plated with silver, the light is flying, and the sword is shining brightly. It is really beautiful.
Everyone was dumbfounded. These guys who usually just hunched over their books had never seen such a real fight. With their heads held high and their mouths open, their eyes were shining and their cheeks were flushed. As the two of them exchanged blows, They were swaying left and right, shouting "wow", and someone composed an impromptu poem, "The knife is like a clear water flowing in the wind, and the lotus flowers are flying in the water. The most beautiful thing is the dance of the immortals under the moon. How many times can I hear it in the human world?" .
The knowledgeable Ling Zhiyan knew the dangers involved and secretly worried about Lin Sui'an. Hua Yitang waved his fan and shouted through the sky: "Yun Zhongyue, who eats shit, is so shameless! He actually stood up to Minister Lu. You stole your face into Minister Lu’s house! Looking at the world, there is no one more shameless than you!"
Yun Zhongyue laughed out loud under the light of Qianjing Dao: "I'm just shameless, what can you do to me?"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Sui'an's sword rushed towards him like light and electricity, and with a scoff, it cut the human skin of "Shilang Lu". Yun Zhongyue was shocked, covering his face and walking on tiptoes. , forcefully separated half a foot away from Lin Sui'an, and no matter how harshly Hua Yitang scolded him below, he did not dare to use his words to get distracted.
These two people are so treacherous! Yue Xin said in the cloud.
Yun Zhongyue is a thief! Lin Sui An said.
Sure enough, after hanging out with Ling Liulang for too long, his ability to curse has weakened. Hua Yitang thought.
Ling Zhiyan: "Zhao Shaoqing, Minister Lu, this person is the legendary Yun Zhongyue, the greatest thief in the world!"
Zhang Shaoqing was so anxious that he was sweating: "Master Lu, why don't you quickly ask someone to help Madam Lin capture the thief?"
"Hahahaha, you're welcome!" Mr. Lu smiled instead of being angry, "Come here, push Mr. Lu's fishing net over here!"
A dozen servants shouted and rushed into the garden, pushing a cart, about the size of half an oxcart, with two wheels, a very high front, a long wooden tube leaning against it, and a bellows-like handle on the side. , the servant fixed the car, Lu Shilang grabbed the side handle with one hand, raised his thumb as if to aim, and shouted, "Ms. Lin, be careful!"
As he spoke, he pulled hard, and there was a bang. A group of black things spurted out from the wooden tube, flew high, and opened with a snap in the moonlight. It turned out to be a huge fishing net, heading towards The two of them covered their heads and covered their faces.
Lin Sui'an and Yun Zhongyue were frightened at the same time. They quickly retreated from the south to the north, narrowly avoiding it. The fishing net landed in the middle of the two of them. As soon as they said it was late, they heard another bang in the air. The second The fishing net shot out again, because the distance between the two was large enough. This time, only Yun Zhongyue was within the coverage of the fishing net. Lin Sui'an was overjoyed and pulled out three swords. Adding insult to injury, Yun Zhongyue was forced into the center of the fishing net. , just when Yun Zhongyue was about to be trapped in the net, suddenly, he turned his head and smiled at Lin Sui'an, yellow smoke spurted out from his collar and cuffs, and his whole body shrank into the yellow smoke, and the fishing net came down, Dividing the yellow smoke into countless small squares, Lin Sui An thought something was wrong, so he hurriedly made a cut and cut it empty.
The fishing net fell softly on the roof. The yellow smoke dissipated and there was nothing. The moon in the cloud seemed to turn into smoke and flew away with the wind. Lin Sui'an jumped on the fishing net and took a closer look and found that a few pieces were missing. Every tile was removed, and a hole the size of a watermelon was exposed on the roof. He shouted hurriedly, "Yun Zhongyue has entered this door house, quickly surround it——"
Suddenly there was an exclamation in the garden, and a ghostly shadow sprang out from the window crack, got into the crowd, and disappeared into the darkness of the door among the flowers and plants. Ling Zhiyan chased after him, searched around hurriedly, but found nothing, and came back with a dark face.
Lin Sui'an clicked his tongue, and Hua Yitang jumped in anger.
Lu Shilang patted his fishing net cart with great regret, "It's too slow and needs improvement."
Zhang Shaoqing was helpless: "Shilang Lu, you should first check what is missing at home!"
The crowd was so excited that they danced and exchanged their feelings about watching the battle. Bai Ruyi was so frightened that she woke up from drinking. She stared at Lin Sui'an on the roof bathed in the moonlight, not knowing what she was thinking.
In the corner where no one cared, Su Yiyun, who was dressed up for the occasion, was once again forgotten.
Two quarters of an hour later, Mr. Lu was in the study.
"No money or money was lost," Shilang Lu said, "Only a few volumes of design drawings were lost. They are not worth much."
Ling Zhiyan: "What design drawing?"
"Old pictures from thirty years ago, including some siege equipment commonly used in the army, can be found on the market. Today's manufacturing techniques have long been updated and are of no use. I collect them just for fun." Minister Lu was also puzzled, "Is Yun Zhongyue good at this?"
Lin Sui'an felt that it was not that simple. He glanced around the study room. The books on the bookshelf were arranged neatly. Only a few books on the shelf were messed up. This showed that Yun Zhongyue's goal for this trip was very clear. Just those old blueprints.
Hua Yitang: "This Yun Zhongyue has always been acting strangely. He must have an ulterior motive for stealing these drawings. Does Mr. Lu have a copy of the drawings?"
Mr. Lu thought for a moment and said, "If Hanashiro is interested, I can draw a copy and send it to you another day."
"Thank you." Hua Yitang blinked, "Can you use the tool that can launch fishing nets just now-"
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being a descendant of the Hua family. You really have a vision. The thief-catching fishing net is my proud production in recent years. Unfortunately, it is not available yet. It is still in the debugging stage. When I finish debugging it, I can give you one as a gift. "Shilang Lu said, rubbing his palms and looking over, "Is the knife Mrs. Lin used just now Qian Jing?"
Lin Sui'an nodded and handed over Qian Jing. Lu Shilang obviously knew that Qian Jing's weight was unusual and picked it up with both hands. However, the moment he received Qian Jing, the door still showed a surprised look and looked at it. Lin Sui'an glanced at her and said, "Ms. Lin, you have so much strength!"
Lin Sui'an: "Why is Mr. Lu so curious about Qian Jing?"
Mr. Lu didn't reply. He carefully pulled Qian Jing out of the scabbard and looked at it carefully according to the candlelight. The dark green blade reflected his eyes, which were astonishingly bright. It was a fiery love that was hard to hide and came from the bottom of his heart. He kept shouting, "What a knife! What a knife!!"
Lin Sui'an was a little worried: Don't you come here to grab a knife again?
Lu Shilang placed Qian Jing's blade and scabbard flatly on the table. The table was covered with thick white fur. The color did not look like ordinary wool or rabbit fur, but like fox fur. Qian Jing lay on it, The dark green knife light made every hair shine.
Shilang Lu took out a wooden box from the bottom drawer of the bookcase. The wooden box was also covered with the same fur. There was a yellow scroll on it. The scroll had no name, only a blank name tag. Minister Lu slowly opened the scroll and placed it above Qian Jing.
Everyone's eyes widened, especially Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang, who gasped in unison.
The scroll book begins with a picture. The picture shows a horizontal knife with a black handle and a dark green blade. It is two feet long and three fingers wide. It looks like Qian Jing.
After that, there is a paragraph:
[On the day of the red moon, evil auspiciousness comes to the world, disasters surge into the world, and the sky sinks and the earth sinks into darkness. The sky cracked, and the star energy from the ten directions produced thousands of vicious swords, weapons that were tired of winning. The sharp edge of the green wash, the ghost blade opens, the king of Hades comes, and all kinds of evil spirits can be purified. 】
This content, including the bamboo slips sent to her by Luo Shichuan and the records of Jiang Dongyichun|Palace, is the most complete record of Qianjing that Lin Sui'an has seen so far. There is just no part about "star master" and "acquisition of martial arts to replenish luck".
Ling Zhiyan: "Shilang Lu, this is-"
"This is an ancient book from my Lu family. It is too old and the author is no longer known," said Mr. Lu. "It was passed to me thirty years ago. At that time, there were rumors about Qian Jing in the world. It is a pity that I I’ve never had a chance to see him.”
"On the day of the red moon, evil auspiciousness comes to the world, disasters surge into the world, the sky sinks and the earth sinks - it means there are strange phenomena in the sky," Hua Yitang's eyes scanned word by word, "The sky cracked, and the stars in the ten directions... Qi, the evil sword Qianjing is born - it means that the material used to cast Qianjing is unusual."
Mr. Lu: "It should be a heavenly stone."
It's probably a meteorite with a high iron content. Lin Sui An said.
Hua Yitang: "The weapon of being tired of victory means that Qianjing has the function of warding off evil spirits."
Mr. Lu: "This echoes 'all kinds of evil spirits can be purified', and that should be the meaning."
Hua Yitang glanced at Lin Sui'an and smiled.
Lin Sui'an understood what he meant. She had always thought Qianjing was an ominous thing before, but now she could rest assured.
Qianjing is not unknown, but a magical weapon that can ward off evil spirits.
"What does this sentence mean?" Ling Zhiyan asked, pointing to "The edge is washed with green, the ghost blade opens, and the King of Hades comes".
Mr. Lu: "After many researches, Mr. Lu believes that this sentence refers to Qianjing's maintenance method."
Lin Sui'an: "Eh?"
Does Qianjing still need maintenance?
Minister Lu looked at Lin Sui'an with a somewhat unkind look, "Is it possible that Mrs. Lin has never taken care of Qian Jing?"
Lin Sui'an scratched his forehead in embarrassment, "Does it count to rub it with lard occasionally?"
Minister Lu almost vomited blood. He pointed at Lin Sui'an and said, "You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you," he shouted, "Someone, bring a jar of Manbi and bring it in!"
Manbi is a famous wine in Dongdu. Lin Sui'an remembered that on the way to Yangdu, Old Liu in the caravan talked about it, saying that this wine was the best wine in the Tang Dynasty. The color of the wine was as clear as amber, but Minister Lu's wine was Manbi. But it is bright green, and when held in a wine cup, it looks like a piece of emerald melted into liquid. What's even more outrageous is that the wine jar is actually a miniature version, with a capacity of only about one-third of the square-shaped porcelain jar with viscera.
"This is a ten-year-old Manbi!" Zhang Shaoqing was surprised, "I didn't expect that Minister Lu could find this wine. This -" swallowed his saliva, "How much does it cost?"
"One jar of hardware, and only ten jars are sold every year." Mr. Lu waved his hand indifferently, raised the wine cup to Qian Jing, and slowly poured the wine down.
Zhang Shaoqing was stunned: "Shilang Lu, what are you doing - my dear mother!"
The bright green liquid clearly fell on Qian Jing's blade, but not a drop came out. The wine seemed to have come to life, turning into countless thin, bright and fluorescent streams, flowing slowly along the blade. Gradually, as it was sucked in, the blade glowed with a strange green light and made a low hum, as if singing.
Everyone:! ! !
Good guy! Lin Sui'an exclaimed in his heart: This knife is actually an alcoholic!
"To maintain this knife, it must be maintained with Manbi for more than ten years. It is best to maintain it once every seven days." Lu Shilang showed a satisfied look and covered the wine jar. "This knife comes from the starlight from the sky. It is extremely evil. If you can't If you maintain it in time, the evil spirit in the knife will come back to bite the knife owner and make him crazy. Madam Lin must keep this in mind."
Ling Zhiyan took a breath, Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows, and Lin Sui'an's face fell.
Is it because Qianqing Qianjing has been radiating evil energy like crazy because she didn't drink enough to get angry? !
Moreover, Manbi, who only drinks one jar of hardware, has to drink it once every seven days. The maintenance cost of this, this, this, this, this, is too high!
Lin Sui'an stretched out his hand tremblingly, "Shilang Lu, if you like this knife, why don't you sell it to me--"
Hua Yitang grabbed Lin Sui'an's wrist with a snap, and smiled as brightly as a spring flower, "It's just ten years of Manbi, Hua can afford it."
Lin Sui'an stared: I can't afford it!
"Hahahaha, then Lu will be relieved." Mr. Lu smiled, "If there is anyone else in the Tang Dynasty who can afford to raise Qianjing, it must be the Hua family!"
Lin Sui'an: "Wait a minute -"
Hua Yitang: "May I ask Mr. Lu, how much wine does Qian Jing drink at one time?"
Mr. Lu: "Three cups are enough. About one jar every day, no more, no more."
Hua Yitang was overjoyed: "It's a great deal, very good, very good."
Lin Sui'an rolled his eyes and almost fainted: Forty-nine days of hardware! One gold and six guan of money, that is, 600 money a day! Qian Jing's one day's drinking money was her rent in Yangdu for the past three months!
Ling Zhiyan counted on her fingers and turned green.
Zhang Shaoqing bumped into him and whispered, "Liu Lang, how about you think about what you said before?"
Ling Zhiyan frowned and glanced at Qian Jing on the table, then at Lin Sui'an, and sighed heavily. :,,
