269 Long in the cage
Seeing me move over, several children of the Xue family saluted one after another, and I also bowed back, and then bowed to the heads of the four major families sitting on the throne, and the heads of the hosts also stood up and saluted back.
After the ceremony.
Retracting my gaze, I crossed the Xue family disciple and directly took the trap box in my hand to observe it carefully, but I couldn't help but be attracted by the exquisite tattoos on the box.
Although this trap box is not big, it is very weighty, and the natural texture on the wood is very beautiful, like a gold wire entanglement, this is the same precious golden silk nanmu as red sandalwood, you can use such a precious golden silk nanmu as a trap box, can this Zongzan just be an ordinary walking monk?
I couldn't help but pout.
After touching the exquisite artificially carved but disrupted patterns on it, you can guess that the person who designed the box was indeed very attentive, and it can be said that it is well-intentioned.
The pattern on this box is actually made up of countless small wooden strips, that is, it is the same as the nine-palace puzzle seen in the underground palace that day, as long as the key first step is found to open the gap, the other small pieces have the space to move freely, and it is necessary to move at least a few hundred steps to open this trap box.
I took the trap box and touched it in my hand, and slowly walked back to Zongzan, shaking the trap box in my ear, and found that there seemed to be something hidden here.
"Zongzan, can there be a treasure hidden in this box?"
Zong Zan stood with his hands down, nodded with a smile and said:
"This thing is a priceless treasure to Zongzan. ”
With a look of surprise on my face, I said:
"Even your machine box is worth a lot of money, and there are priceless treasures in it?!"
Seeing that I was quite interested in this object, Zongzan was also very generous and generous, and said:
"If Gao Yushi can open this box, the treasure there will be yours. ”
After all, Zong Zan had already said that all the people present who could unlock this box would be rewarded with heavy gifts.
I looked at it, thinking about whether this deal was worth it or not, although there were so-called priceless treasures in it, but I was more fond of this beautiful machine box, which was quite a bit of a purchase and a pearl.
"Hey, I'm a real person, a gentleman loves money, and he takes it in a good way, so naturally he can't take away people's love, since it's a priceless treasure, he should also pay it back to you. ”
Zong Zan is a person who understands, as soon as he heard that there is a priceless treasure but does not mention the machine box, he knows what I really like, and praises me for having this vision, but then he smiled bitterly, and his face was embarrassed, because this machine box is really extraordinary, and he spent more than ten years of hard work on it to successfully make such a perfect machine box.
But when Zong Zan saw the appearance of the young man in front of him, he suddenly felt that this might be destined by God.
He was defeated in a small trap box that year, so he has been obsessed with the design and production of the trap box for the next ten years, just to make a perfect trap box, and now he has succeeded, and returned to the Central Plains with this trap box, but the person he was looking for has long been lost.
When he left, he only knew that the person was a son of the Gong family, and his single name was a concubine. And the wisdom and demeanor, elegance and bearing shown by this handsome young man Langjun made Zong Zan very impressed and admired in his heart at that time, so that an obsession was born in his heart invisibly......
Later, he learned that it turned out that this concubine brother was the second lady of the Gong family!
"If Gao Yushi can unlock this box, then this trap box and that treasure will be given to Gao Yushi together!"
It's a good deal!
"Zongzan is generous, and it is difficult to be gracious, so Gao Chen is also disrespectful!"
Throwing the trap box into the air, the trap box drew a nice arc in mid-air, and I immediately picked up the topic and quickly decided that this was a good deal.
When the box fell into my hands again, I couldn't help but secretly throw a smug look at Jue, and then I had to mention my request again.
"It's not difficult to solve this box, but it's not interesting to let everyone here wait, Brother Jue, your piano sound is high and elegant, and the sound is fine, why don't you play a song to help Yaxing?"
"Okay, according to what the senior brother said. ”
I was a little flattered by the fact that she calmly agreed.
Xiang Yatou was very clever, and soon asked people to take the best Yaoqin of the palace family, burned incense and fell silent, and personally invited Jue to sit down.
Jue smiled and nodded, took a seat, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then slowly opened his eyes, and stroked the strings with both hands, as if he was touching the temperament of this Yaoqin.
I looked at Jue's gentle appearance, and I was a little envious of the Yaoqin in her hand......
"The gulls and herons in the water, the wild cranes in the mountains, or inhabit Tingzhou or the spring stone, but they are not affected by the suffering of the world's cages, and they are carefree, fearless, and comfortable in the mountains and rivers. You have a quiet temperament, this song "Listening to the Spring" should suit your temperament......"
Rise, fall, notes out.
As if I was talking about this Yaoqin, and as if I was listening to it, my mind also changed several times, and after suddenly hearing such a delicate and leisurely rhythm, my heart felt soft, and my face couldn't help but blush slightly.
In order not to be seen by others, I touched the mechanism box in my hand, and after a moment of silence, I spoke again:
"The ancients said: burning incense, tasting tea, listening to the rain, appreciating the snow, waiting for the moon, drinking wine, flowers, looking for seclusion, stroking the qin, and chanting poetry are the ten elegant things. ”
When the palace lady who sat on the main seat heard this, the corners of her mouth were kind.
"Gao Yushi is my honored guest of Taibai Building, but all guests are invited, and Taibai Mansion will not be allowed. ”
Mrs. Gong personally sent a message, but in a moment, a maid fish rushed in, and the bamboo curtains that were lightly covered around were pulled up one after another.
But it turns out that the attic where the martial arts venue is located is actually in a plum garden, and now in the cold winter, there are plum blossoms proudly in the snow, and in this room, you can see the white snow, red plum, flowing water, spring, natural beauty and attic building in the garden through the window, it is really refreshing.
The surprise continued, and the mellow wine, delicate pastries, and fragrant plum blossoms inserted in the vase were successively sent to the guests' tables by the beautiful maids with wonderful figures......
When I encounter such warm hospitality, how can I not be grateful to Mrs. Gong for her kindness?
"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness!"
Then bow to the palace lady to show gratitude.
Madame Gong smiled and nodded.
"No need for such a courtesy, please take a seat. ”
I bowed my head slightly, and after making an invitation to the nearby Zongzan, I saw him take a seat, and I also smiled and took a seat at the table closest to Jue.
Stretched out his hand and beckoned Xiao Xue'er to hug him in his arms, playing with the machine box in his hand while teaching Xiao Xue'er the key to dismantling this kind of machine box, and in front of the table is wine and food, and in his ears is the piano music played by the person who likes him, and he seems to regard this Taibai Building as his own home, full of joy and peace of mind.
But some people can't see this moment of tranquility and stability......
Zhao Song secretly felt uneasy when he saw the situation in front of him, and Gao Chen's appearance made him seem to have a feeling that the situation was out of his control, and he had to hold the initiative tightly in his hands.
"Zhao Song is not talented, come to Duan Dao Dance to help the fun, in order to make the beauty of throwing bricks and attracting jade!"
After speaking, he took out his long knife and came to the scene to cheer everyone present with the knife.
Zhao Song's thoughts are a little intriguing. And his move, people with a discerning eye know it, and it must be that the person who came is not good.
Those who have long been dissatisfied with the four great families or swayed from side to side have chosen to watch from the wall at this time, in order to watch the situation, and some sects are people who have been taken care of by the four great families for many years and know how to be grateful.
Now is the time to do so.
"Lu Rusong was sent in Xiaqingcheng, and together with Brother Zhao, he danced a sword dance for all heroes to help Yaxing. ”
This Lu Rusong, who was dressed in a road run and had a long beard on his face, challenged Zhao Songxing in the name of sword dancing, and the two faced each other with swords on the martial arts field.
As I looked at the scene in front of me, I pondered the doorway of the trap box in my hand, this gap Zongzan was very hidden, and by visual inspection, it would be misled by the criss-crossing patterns on the box, so the best way was to touch and feel it with my hands.
Looking at the situation on the field, this Zhao Song is quite interesting!
Seeing the duel and battle in the field, even I, a person with half a bucket of water kung fu, could see that Zhao Song did not use all his strength to fight, and the reason why this was so was just that he had other plans.
In the Qin period, Zhao Gao pointed out that the deer was a horse in order to distinguish the adversity, and Zhao Song's move had some meaning. He showed off his strength so much, just to provoke those who were unconvinced, and he didn't defeat Lu Rusong immediately, but he was worried that showing his edge too early would make him fearful later. Therefore, he held back, pretended to be anxious, retreated as advance, and finally reluctantly won, attracting other unwilling people to come to fight one after another, so as to collect the effect of catching all the nets. And most importantly, let's clear the way for the third match.
He's got a big appetite!
I glanced at the other two strange men brought by Zhao Song, the tall and burly man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, presumably the strong man who defeated Liu Da in the first game, and the other one who had been hiding his body under the black hooded cloak, making people unable to distinguish between men and women, but there was naturally an unapproachable aura on his body, which was really unpredictable.
Today's martial arts conference held in this Taibai Building, is a grand event in the rivers and lakes, originally the public is inconvenient to participate in it, but in the public and private, I and I are still involved in this battle, if the country is not peaceful, where is not the paradise of the world!
But after a while, I only heard the sound of 'bell', and the long sword in Lu Rusong's hand was shot down by Zhao Song, and I also touched the key piece of wood at this time, pushed it outward, and sure enough, a small opening was made!
"Great!"
I couldn't help but applaud, but it caused other people to cast strange eyes on me, and they all speculated, after all, there have been many rumors that I have a dislike for the four great families recently, and my attitude towards the four great families has also become a weather vane of the imperial court's attitude towards the four great families, no wonder everyone is so nervous......
I don't care what they think, now that I've found a breakthrough to open this trap box, according to my temperament, I naturally go all out and chase after the victory.
Between my fingers, I quickly flicked the small wooden blocks on the box that could be moved and arranged, and Xiao Xue'er was also very interested in this object, watching intently how I solved the machine box, and forgot to eat her favorite delicious pastry in front of me.
On the field, Lu Rusong's long sword was knocked to the ground and defeated, and after Lu Rusong, someone stood up and asked Zhao Song to teach him, Zhao Song was obedient, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face, because everything was as he originally designed.
As a result, this person was knocked off the blade within ten moves. And the third, fourth, fifth, sixth...... Within five moves, they were defeated by Zhao Song.
Looking at the blade that fell to the ground, everyone was surprised, they didn't expect Zhao Song's martial arts attainments to have reached such a point, even if he won the second game, this Zhao Song was not afraid of the third game, it can be seen that the victory is in hand.
Everyone felt that the four great families should suffer a catastrophe today.
The sound of the piano is still pleasant and moving, Qingyuan is melodious, and she is also sitting upright, calm and relaxed, not moving like a mountain, the wind of the general is unobstructed, let the wind and rain hit, I am immovable, so courageous!
I knew that winning or losing this second game had nothing to do with Dugu Xin, and looking at the situation in front of him, he had already expected that I might intervene, or maybe it was his intention, because this second game of wisdom was specially designed for me, and it seems that there are bigger surprises waiting for me in the future.
Then, the most critical battle of this competition should be the third master who has not yet shot!
Accompanied by a scream from the opponent.
Zhao Song kicked his opponent over at Qin Xuan's feet, and his gaze at Qin Xuan was also full of provocation and disdain......
Zhao Song defeated the heads of other sects, and the purpose was just to force Qin Xuan to make a move, and the person they used to deal with Qin Xuan should be the third unknown strange person......
Qin Xuan, will he make a move?
