Qi Jingzhi actually doesn't care what kind of secrets are hidden behind the red gold sword. After all, even though he gets along very well with the snake and the tiger, he has never thought of taking it as his own. As long as he sends it back to Liao The state's Baiyun Palace is considered to have completed its merits.
What he cares about is that the decades of fearful and carefree life that Old Wei mocked himself for before his death seemed to be entirely due to some kind of deliberate arrangement. The four mountain guests in the building seemed to know a little bit about the inside story, but they kept it secret. There was even some misunderstanding, and based on this, they recognized that Linshan Lu Qiyun could have a place in the building.
Perhaps in the eyes of these insiders who watched indifferently, Jin Dao Wei, the tycoon of the East China Sea and the leader of sorcerers, was just a small character in a big drama. His sudden encounters, hard climbs and sad endings over the past decades were not worth it. The trivial details mentioned are only worthy of being used as the basis for the tacit and unspoken chat before the banquet.
At this moment, Qian Xiaoren suddenly spoke, still asking for money without any clue as when they first met. Even though Qi Jingzhi was in a heavy mood, after hearing this, he felt a little relieved and felt This guy simply fell into the eyes of money.
"Hey! How many times have I told you? Calling me by my name means good luck. This is just a rumor passed down by the world. Do you really think that by calling me to your face a few times and being promoted to a high rank, you can go out to pick up money and find treasures in the mountains?"
The green python named Shengqing was very dissatisfied. However, he had a good temper and a very kind tone, so Qian Xiaoren obviously didn't listen.
The guy smiled shamelessly and said: "Anyway, you won't suffer any loss if you scream! As the saying goes, it may not be without reason. There are also legends in the world that people who have been laughed at by Brother Huang will be half disabled even if they don't die! I didn't believe it at the beginning. What’s the result?”
Hearing this, the elegant middle-aged man with yellow robes and skin immediately couldn't help but shake his head: "You can forgive the sins committed by God, but you can't survive the sins you do yourself. You'd better calm down."
As he spoke, he reached into his arms and took out three copper coins of different sizes and colors. Then he stretched his long arms and placed them on the food table in front of Qian Xiaoren.
"Brother Huang is still a good friend!"
Qian Xiaoren was overjoyed and thanked him. He couldn't wait to pick one up and held it up in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
However, he only glanced at it briefly before shouting in dissatisfaction: "Why is it Fuhuang's gossip money again? This kind of crappy thing... Eh?"
Qian Xiaoren swallowed the second half of his complaint and looked at the other two copper coins one by one. The joy on his face could no longer be concealed.
He put down the copper coins, grinned at the man in yellow robe and said, "These three copper coins have restrained essence and deep spiritual charm. They are rare good things. Where did Brother Huang get them?"
The man in yellow robe pursed his lips and did not look at him. He raised his head and said leisurely: "There is a dilapidated Shenyin Gate in Huangzhou. The ancestor of the family who was the Lord of the County has exhausted his Yin life and has been dead for more than ten years. Previous A while ago, I was short of wood to build a mountain house, so I went to the ancestral hall of that family to tear down a beam, and these three Fu Huang Bagua coins were placed on the beam to support the house."
He paused and then added: "Actually, there were a total of eight gossip coins on the beam at that time, but the other five coins were so heavy that they refused to leave the ancestral hall, so I burned them all in a fit of anger! "
As soon as these words came out, Qian Xiaoren opened his mouth, but no words came out. Who said before that "it is your own fault that you will not survive"? Besides, there is no wood in the mountains, so there is no need to tear down the beams of other people's ancestral halls. This is obviously intentional. Presumably, what was burned by that fire was more than just a few town coins and an ancestral hall.
Even the green python with the best temper couldn't help but look sideways, shook his head and said: "The county god of that family has only been dead for more than ten years, and there are still five of the eight coins left. Huangshanyou did this matter a bit recklessly. .”
But the man in yellow robe didn't care, as if he was just talking about poetry and essays: "In just ten years, my ancestors have spent three cents of their remaining wealth, and the unkindness of the people since then has been evident. What's even more hateful, they did what they did secretly. Those dirty things were framed on my head. Although I don’t care about some false reputation, I can’t tolerate them! This is self-inflicted evil!”
"I see."
The green python nodded and stopped trying to persuade him. Then he opened his mouth and spit out a large copper-colored coin as big as a palm and flew towards Qian Xiaoren.
Qian Xiaoren quickly reached out to take it
This time, he was much calmer. After looking at it carefully for a long time, he raised his head happily and said, "It's really rare to see a mountain ghost in such good condition spend money!"
Qi Jingzhi, who was sitting across from him, could also see clearly that the large red copper money in Qian Xiaoren's hand was warm and shiny, with dense inscriptions on it.
He had picked up some of these so-called mountain ghost spenders in Xiaosong Mountain, but he had never seen such beautiful ones.
Seeing that Qi Jingzhi seemed interested, Qian Xiaoren immediately turned the front of the big coin towards him so that he could see the inscription on it clearly. At the same time, he said, "Brother Lu, there must be such a mountain ghost spending money in Linshan. If there is one of such good quality, you can send it to me. Again, I will never let you suffer!"
Qi Jingzhi ignored him and looked at the mountain ghost coin. He saw two characters on both sides of the coin, "Lei Ling" on the left and "山鬼" on the right. In the middle was a long string of Yang characters, inscription Said: "Thunder and lightning, kill ghosts and subjugate spirits, slay demons and ward off evil spirits, keep the spirit pure forever, be urgent like laws and orders!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at the big coin, Qing Mang took the initiative to explain: "There is a small Taoist temple at the foot of the mountain where Sheng lives. The temple owner was ambitious and wanted to enshrine me as the protector of the Dharma, so he encouraged the people to cast a batch of coins. Mountain ghosts spend money. This one is an ancestor's coin as a sample. Although it was newly minted not long ago, it has already developed some charm."
The man in yellow robe was stunned when he heard the words: "Brother Sheng agreed to the temple master? Although he can welcome the protector god, he must be the orthodox Taoist sect recognized by the court, but that's it. The king of the country wanted to confer several seals several times before, Brother Sheng They refused to accept the offer, but now they have to submit to a small Taoist temple, which is not very appropriate."
The green python's kiss was slightly open, as if smiling, and his tone became more and more indifferent: "The ancestor of the contemporary master has been kind to me. Now he has obtained the Taoist inheritance, and goes around and around under my mountain to practice contemplation. This is what is happening in the dark. It's destiny. If I don't agree, it will hinder my practice."
Hearing this, the man in yellow robe sighed and remained silent.
The eagle owl diagonally opposite him laughed strangely and interjected: "Bullshit Tianyuan! In my opinion, this is just nonsense made up by those bull noses to deceive people! Brother Sheng has not eaten blood food for a long time, and he is no longer alive. The wildness, this is more gain than loss!"
As it spoke, it suddenly fluttered its wings, and a copper coin with a faint golden light emerged from under its feathers and flew towards Qian Xiaoren: "This Laoshizi came very easily, unlike you, who demolished the house again. Selling myself again!"
The Eagle Owl sarcastically said a few words, and then said: "Old Owl, there is a deserted tower in my mountain, which is my usual place to stay. One night a month ago, a group of tomb robbers suddenly came, muttering He said that the tower is some kind of jewelry protection tower, and there are relics hidden in the underground palace under the tower..."
At this point, its voice became more surly and its smile became more ferocious: "This is really a big joke! The deserted tower is located in a fake monk temple that is said to be the most effective in seeking children. It can only be wiped out by the imperial court. In a matter of seconds, I don’t want the world to forget all about it and spread such ridiculous rumors.”
"But let's not talk about it. The incense in the Yin's Nest was very popular at the time, and the believers spared no expense when building the pagoda. The group of tomb robbers dug up the underground palace and were killed by the evil Yin monks hiding in it on the spot. Not to mention this, the The cracks in the excavated bricks in the underground palace are filled with winning coins, and most of them are contaminated by ghost energy. Only this one shines with golden light, almost blinding my old owl's eyes!"
"Of course I was very puzzled, so I immediately took it and took a look, and saw that the words "luxuriant branches, suitable for future generations" were engraved on it! Hehe, thinking about it so devoutly and lasting for a long time really makes me speechless! "
As the only human being present at the table, Qian Xiaoren couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard this. He thanked the Eagle Owl and then turned his attention to the head on the table next to Qi Jingzhi: "General Zuo, can you bring Do you have money?"
If anyone in this building is the most transcendent, it must be General Zuo.
Qi Jingzhi reacted when he sat down. When he realized that he had just gone upstairs, the person the Zuo General was glaring at was not Qi Jingzhi, but the handle of the Jian Renshou knife on his back.
Later, when everyone was appraising the ancient coins, this one remained silent from beginning to end. His angry eyes were fixed on Jian Renshou's blade for most of the time, and he even seemed not to notice when Qian Xiaoren called out to him.
At this moment everyone
When his eyes came together, what he saw was such a strange sight.
The green python wearing a black headband and black clothes immediately smiled and explained: "Brother Deer, don't be offended. General Zuo is the spirit of a hero who died in the mountains because he often raised his head with his left hand and roared in the mountains. We called him Zuo Titou and Zuo General."
"It's a pity that it lost its sword at the beginning of its reincarnation. As a result, it can't suppress its evil spirit and loses its mind. Once it sees someone else's sword, it will stare at it closely to see if it is the one it lost. In fact, There was no malice."
The man in yellow robes on the side also nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, in terms of purity of heart, none of us are as good as General Zuo. One of you is the spirit of a heroic soul, and the other is a spirit of strength. From now on, you can Get closer!"
"Oh? Lu was just a ranger during his lifetime, how can he be compared with Brother Zuo!"
Qi Jingzhi said something perfunctory to the man in yellow robe, then looked at General Zuo's head and couldn't help but curiously asked: "I wonder what Brother Zuo's lost saber looks like?"
Ever since he climbed up to the second floor and saw these monster-like so-called mountain friends, Qi Jingzhi had always been wary, but he had a very good impression of General Zuo, and he didn't even care about his vicious gaze.
The reason is, as the man in yellow robe said, General Zuo has the purest heart among those here.
Since Qi Jingzhi put on the Spirit Mask and entered the Jiao Mansion, no matter the stewards, waiters, Qian Xiaoren and Xin Changji who welcomed the guests, they had all shown fear, disgust and hostility towards him to some extent, and thus were attracted by the Spirit Mask. What I felt, let alone after reaching the second floor, was that regardless of the eagle owl, which had the most unpleasant words and the most surly temperament, the green python and the yellow-robed man were far from as kind as they appeared.
Only General Zuo, who had been glaring at him, never showed any malice from beginning to end, so Qi Jingzhi took the initiative to ask.
After being watched and talked about for a long time by everyone, and then questioned face to face by Qi Jingzhi, General Zuo finally came to his senses.
It turned to stare at Qi Jingzhi's strange face, his head moving slightly on the food table, as if shaking his head.
At the same time, the headless body of General Zuo, who was kneeling behind the food table, raised a hand, reached into a hole in the leather armor on the chest, and took out a piece of blood-soaked blood from inside. rag.
Qi Jingzhi was closest to General Zuo, and as soon as he saw the rag, he suddenly felt a blood-evil air rushing towards his face. Compared with it, the little blood-evil Qi Huchan Zangfeng had been stained with before was really... It's not worth mentioning.
This time, the spirit mask reacted particularly violently, and the vicious wind that remained in it suddenly surged, blocking out the bloody evil energy as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Huh? This rag seems to be the corner of a flag?" Z.br>
This thought came to Qi Jingzhi's mind. Over there, General Zuo had spread out the broken flag on the dining table. Inside, there were several badly rusted and blood-stained copper coins.
Seeing this, the eagle owl standing on the other side of General Zuo immediately laughed strangely: "Old Zuo, which ancient battlefield did you dig up again? If you ask me, I really can't find the original saber. Let's look for another one. What’s even better is that, as the saying goes, if the old doesn’t go away, the new won’t come in!”
General Zuo ignored it and did nothing else except throwing the blood-stained copper coins at Qian Xiaoren.
The eagle owl has a very bad temper and mouth, and can make sarcastic remarks to the green python and the yellow-robed man without any scruples. At this moment, he was ignored by General Zuo, and he didn't seem to care at all. He just smiled and said: "He is really a stubborn species. ! When you find the saber one day, don’t forget to let me know, so that I, the old owl, can broaden your horizons!”
On the other side, Qian Xiaoren opened his hands to catch the copper coin, lowered his head and looked at it carefully for a moment, then a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
Although these copper coins were extremely rusty and their quality was beyond words, he did not show any disdain. Instead, he displayed them to everyone like a treasure.
"Look, this is the most authentic five-baht coin for recruiting soldiers! According to the ancestral system of our Qi Dynasty, this coin must be minted to give to heroes and heroes every time there is a war. There are eight characters in the inscription on it. On the front it says "The soldiers must not be prepared", and on the back it says It is "to eliminate evil and eliminate disaster", it contains the evil spirit of military power and is the best way to ward off evil and bring about good luck! "
After that, Qian Xiaoren took these precious copper coins into his arms. This is the treasure of the other three ancient coins.
Treatment that I have never enjoyed.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi no longer thought that this guy was just greedy for money.
He secretly looked at Qian Xiaoren's brass brocade robe and the copper coin string around his waist, and he had some guesses in his mind: "This should be a unique human relationship between him and the mountain guests, or even something unique." The method of practice..."
Sure enough, the next moment, I heard the legendary green python Shengqing named Zeji say with a smile: "Xiaojiu, with these qualifications, you should be able to cross the dining clouds and manifest your mind, right? Can you still be attracted by it all the time?" Isn’t that younger member of the Xin family better than him?”
