One hundred and sixty-seven: Gu eagle
When the carriage drove into the Horseshoe Lane, one person followed not far away, wearing a white and gray cloth dress, a sword wrapped around a cloth strip behind his back, with a handsome face, strong eyebrows and high noses. He was a handsome young man with a Zhouzheng look.
But there was no expression on his face. If he weren't walking, he wouldn't look like a human but a sculpture.
When the people near him saw him, they thought that before Yuan Yue had passed, they hit the dead face in broad daylight and avoided it. When the boy looked around, he picked the old man who could not walk on the roadside stall and asked, "Brother-in-law, who is the person sitting in the carriage that he just entered?"
The old man who sold the pasta secretly said something bad, but when he saw that the young man looked a little creepy when he spoke, he had a polite tone. Moreover, he heard that his accent came from another place, he was embarrassed to shook his face at him and replied: "The person sitting there is Li Kui."
"Which guru?" asked the gray-clothed boy.
"Of course it's the Yong'an County Kui last year." The old man suddenly came to Tan Xing, and his tone revealed a hint of pride that the people of Xinfengfu Prefecture were unique, and said: "This Lord Kui was less than 20 years old and was awarded the reward of the 'Sword Danghou'! Today he was just back from the Holy Academy sacrificial ceremony before the palace examination."
"Marquis of Swords?" The gray-clothed boy moved his gaze to the courtyard gate not far away and said to himself, "It seems that he has found the wrong person."
………………………………………
Courtyard No. 36, Horseshoe Lane.
There are piles of volumes piled up in the study, some of which are exposed on the paper, mostly some strange-shaped characters and pictures, which are ancient books collected by Guo Pu from the city, including fragments.
When Li Buzhuo came back, he opened the rotten silk letters on the table. Suddenly a bronze crow flew out of the house and said, "Is it the rotten silk letters of Mo Jianzong? The most impressive inscription in the Holy Academy is this one."
Li Buzhuo turned his head and said strangely: "No wonder you didn't see you in the sacrificial ceremony. It turned out that the soul in your puppet was awake at this time. How do you participate in the mansion test?"
Gongshu has changed so often that he seems to be indifferent to the imperial examination and said lightly: "For me, the imperial examination is not the only way out."
Li Buzhuo was silent. With Gongshu's family's background, this was indeed full of confidence.
At this time, the sound of the knocker being knocked came from afar. Li Buzhuo looked moved, and he pressed the paperweight and walked out of the study.
When he opened the door, he saw the gray-clothed boy outside the door, he recognized that he was following the carriage before.
When the gray-clothed boy saw Li Buzhuo, he reported to his house with the opening remark he had thought before, and said a little stiffly: "Below, Taike, here to visit the Marquis of Dangjian today, is here to borrow the sword to watch."
Li Buzhuo looked at Fang Taike. Fang Taike's bowing posture was inappropriate, and the meaning was very obvious. Although he was talking about borrowing, he looked like "wanting", but it didn't make people think he was hateful. He just thought he was simple and direct. He thought that this was the ignorant young man who came out of the deep mountains and didn't know anything about the world. He didn't know at all.
But he wanted to borrow a sword, what kind of sword? Li Buzhuo thought about it and said, "Did you find me here because of Li Wujiu?"
"That's right." Fang Taike, who had never expressed his expression, also breathed a little relieved. He had almost never had contact with outsiders since he was a child. Before coming to Li Buzhuo to borrow a sword, he was worried that he was a little abrupt. After speaking for a long time in his heart, Li Buzhuo directly saw his intention, which also saved him the effort of explanation.
When Li Buzhuo saw Fang Taike admit it, he also had speculation in his heart.
Li Wujiu has been looking for people to fight swords all year round. Regardless of life and death, he will take other people's swords as his collection as his collection. The original owner or relatives and friends of these swords were either unable to find them, or they did not go to find Li Wujiu due to the oath. Now that Li Wujiu died, the swordsman fell into his hands, and it was not surprising that someone came to him.
It would be useless if Li didn't keep too many of these swords. He didn't mind returning the original owner, but it depends on the situation. He said, "Which handle do you want?"
"This sword is called Gu Diao, and the sword is in the shape of a carved beak." Fang Taike thought for a while and added: "The sword body is very thin, about one and a half inches wide."
When Li Buzhuo thought about it, he knew that the Gu carved sword that Fang Taike mentioned was in the Painting Sword Book. The shape of this sword was quite special, but there was no inscription on the sword. It was only then that he heard Fang Taike say that he knew the name and asked: "Who is the original owner of this sword? "
Fang Taike paused and thought for a while and said, "This sword originally belonged to Chen Qin of the Liangtai Mansion. Eight years ago, he was defeated by Li Wujiu, and this sword was robbed by Li Wujiu. As for me... I am from Yi Youshan, not Chen Qin's friend or relative. I just want to use this sword to watch it and return it after watching it. This is a gift for borrowing the sword."
As he said that, Fang Taike took out a golden strap and put it on the table. When he opened it, the medicine inside was spicy and scented, with a strong smell of lead and mercury. When he smelled it, he could vaguely swell the internal qi. It was obviously made by extremely simple and crude techniques, but the material was extremely luxurious to use Taoist external elixir.
This bag of pills is obviously more than one level better than the Little Essence Pill. Li Buzhuo was a little surprised and asked, "If you remember correctly, that Gucheng sword is not a Zongjiang weapon. Its value is probably worse than this pill. Why are you borrowing a sword?"
"I'm not convenient to say it." Fang Taike shook his head and said without hesitation. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have come out with the best external pill.
"If you take these elixirs, let alone just borrowing a sword to watch, I would be willing to change the Gu Diao Sword with me. But unfortunately, I did not bring this sword to Youzhou, but it was still stored in Hedong County."
…………
Fang Taike didn't say why he borrowed the Gu Diao Sword, but Li Buzhuo just made a random reason to make excuses.
As soon as Fang Taike left, Li Buzhuo returned to the study.
"Yiyou Mountain is in the westernmost part of Youzhou. I haven't heard of any big family in Fang..." Ya Santong heard the conversation between Li Buzhuo and Fang Taike, and pondered in the pile of books.
Li Buzhuo opened the Danqing Sword Book and took out the Gu Diao Sword and looked carefully. Except for the more delicate, he looked at it as an ordinary skilled weapon.
At this time, Ya Santong suddenly said, "Yiyou Mountain, Yiyou Mountain, it turns out that he belongs to the Fang family?"
Li Buzhuo put away the Gu Diao Sword and asked, "Which Fang family?"
The Three Crows: "Eighteen years ago, Chen Zhilong, a half-saint of Xuanmen, left, and the place where the soldiers were removed was in Yiyou Mountain. Chen Zhilong had no descendants and had no disciples. The "Shengxie" divine sword left by Bingjie was in Yiyou Mountain. The sword tomb was in Yiyou Mountain. Several people from Fang surnames had been favored by Chen Zhilong to guard the sword tomb. Fang Taike said that he was from Yiyou Mountain and might be the sword attendant who guarded the sword tomb. This is strange. The sword attendant of Shengxie Sword Tomb is said to be indefinitely separated from the sword tomb, so how could a sword guardian be born?"
Li Buzhuo looked moved when he heard this and said, "The original owner of this Gu Diao Sword is also surnamed Chen. Could it be that Fang Taike was born to find Chen Zhilongbing's reincarnation body?"
