Chapter 44 Conditions for Adoption

[Haha, the old man thinks it must be the unjust soul in the city, but, little Taoist, can you tell me what "Weiya" is?] The guqin beside Xu Mu couldn't wait to express his opinion.

[As soon as I heard it, I knew that it was the little demon who was making trouble. The husband in the unicorn bead gave a completely different opinion firmly.

How do I think you two are a little bit gloating?

The only courier brother who could hear both of them at the same time frowned helplessly, but he didn't expect the monsters to be so gossipy.

"Master, do you think it's ...... "dirty"?" Seeing Xu Mu's "embarrassed" expression, the yellow-haired agent asked cautiously. He naturally hopes that Qin Mian can get the first male number one in his life, especially this kind of well-scripted work, but Qin Mian's resistance is very great, it is estimated that he is afraid of ghosts, right? It should only be possible to convince him on the basis of ensuring "safety", if it is really haunted, it is estimated that it will not be filmed this time.

"Dirty?" Xu Mu looked at the agent, still thinking about the two gossipy monsters in his mind, and didn't react for a while.

"That's it...... Ghost. The agent spitted out the word with a sad face.

Qin Mian was silent, and also looked at Xu Mu with a nervous expression.

"Not necessarily, it could be a demon. Xu Mu blinked innocently, and subconsciously contributed the other answer he had just heard.

In his opinion, ghosts are souls after all, and it should not be realistic to cut the wire rope or something. However, if it is for a monster like Fu Zhu, cutting off Wei Ya or something, it is completely a matter of moving your fingers.

Peach Blossom Essence originally wanted to open her mouth to speak, look at Feng Yuan, her lips moved twice, but in the end, she lowered her eyelids silently and didn't say anything.

However, Qin Mian's eyes lit up when he heard the word "little demon", and he couldn't help but ask earnestly, "Really, master, do you think it's a monster?"

"Well, maybe. Xu Mu looked at Qin Mian, who was faintly excited, and didn't understand whether he was scared or excited.

Feng Yuan interjected calmly, "This kind of thing must be seen on the scene to judge, is the filming location of the crew's two accidents in the same place?"

Qin Mian immediately turned around to look at his agent, he really didn't know what Feng Yuan asked about this question.

"I don't know much about this detail, I have to confirm it with the crew. The yellow-haired agent shook his head cautiously, and his tone was extremely cautious, "In this way, I'll confirm with the crew, if you can, make an appointment with the master in the next few days, please take the time to go to the scene to see?"

Feng Yuan handed out his business card to Qin Mian's agent, "Okay, we'll call again to make an appointment for a specific time then." ”

"Thank you, I'll be back to you later. The agent immediately took out his own business card and exchanged it to Feng Yuan.

Xu Mu stared at the agent pinching his business card and scratched his ears with his orchid fingers that were still unconsciously cocked, Feng Yuan was too active today!

If you want to see it, you can have one directly at home, and you can also use a gentler way, such as letting Fu Zhu turn from a kitten to a white deer, and perform laser cutting or something.

By the way, he glanced at the gilded business card in Feng Yuan's hand, although Qin Mian's agent looked girly, his name was still very manly, Shi Kai.

After Guqin once again reluctantly left the Peony Hall in the farewell declaration, said goodbye to the mother and son of the Qin family and Shi Kai, Xu Mu followed Feng Yuan to the parking lot to pick up the car.

As soon as he sat down in the co-pilot and buckled his seat belt, he received two messages, one from Shen Liang, concise and clear, [No problem, Brother Dao will make an appointment and tell sù me. 】

The other one is from Qin Mian, [Master, if it's really a monster or something, be sure to let me see it when the time comes!]

Xu Mu frowned, Qin Mian's words seemed to be filled with chicken blood, how can you look at it, it doesn't look like he is afraid? [Since you are not afraid, just sign a contract to shoot!] If it's okay, don't toss around.

[Of course I'm not afraid, I just want that guy Shi Kai to know the consequences of not telling me the truth and making decisions on his own, I'm not a puppet to play with him. It's a big deal to quit the entertainment industry and go home╮(╯▽╰)╭】

Xu Mu: ..................

Dare you lose your temper before you were acting?

[I don't know how much I want to see the monster with my own eyes!] Qin Mian chased another piece of information over, full of expectations and longing.

See the yokai with your own eyes?

Xu Mu looked at his mobile phone screen for some reason, why do you want to go far away Aren't you just a peach blossom essence by your side? Thinking back to the first time they met, Qin Mian seemed to have great enthusiasm for the topic of demons and monsters. Could it be that Qin Mian didn't know anything about the condition of the peach blossom essence?

Xu Mu picked the seat belt on his chest, looked at Feng Yuan in the driver's seat hesitantly, and stopped talking. How similar is Feng Yuan's current situation to Qin Mian? They are all monsters living around him, but they are still reluctant to see for themselves from other places.

"What do you want to say?" Feng Yuan glanced in the rearview mirror, and then looked at the courier brother who looked like he was full of words.

"Brother, do you really want to see the monster with your own eyes?"

"Of course. Feng Yuan nodded, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips. Well, the blood on Xu Mu's face looks almost recovered, and he will have to take him out to eat something to replenish his body in the future.

"Actually...... We have a monster in our house. Xu Mu hesitated for a long time, and finally said this sentence uneasily with Feng Yuan's face. God bless Feng Yuan not to kick himself out of the house with Sprite!

"Our family?" Feng Yuan raised his eyebrows, smiled dumbly, and looked at the courier brother narrowly, "There are only two of us in our family now, are you or me?"

"Monsters don't all turn into human shapes, as well as flowers, trees, gold and stone artifacts or something, the sword spirit I saw when I left the soul is not a Tang knife. Xu Mu tried his best to explain the common sense he had recently learned to Feng Yuan, and he pointed to the unicorn bead on his backpack, "I'm not talking about the two of us, I'm talking about it." ”

"It?" Feng Yuan glanced at the fiery red bead casually, his tone was full of suspicion, "Isn't this bead a talisman handed down from your family, what's the matter, it's a monster?"

"No, no, no, the beads are amulets Yes, I'm talking about the fierce beast that is hiding in the beads now, in fact, you have seen it, it is the kitten at home with a gold collar around its neck, and a golden retriever on the tip of its ears and tail. It is called Fu Zhu, and it is the beast of trillion waters. The main body is a white deer with only golden four horns, and you have seen it last time when we protected us in the Hengdian Underground Palace. ”

"So you want to tell me that the little milk cat at home is the same monster as the white deer I saw last time, and it is staying in this bead now and listening to us?" Feng Yuan "seriously" sorted out the key points expressed by Xu Mu "seriously", and his face was calm.

"That's right, that's what it means. ”

"Then you let it come out now, and I'll see. Feng Yuan parked the car on the side of the road with double flashes, turned sideways, and put his left arm on the steering wheel, as if he was looking forward to it.

"Husband, come out quickly. Xu Mu pinched the unicorn beads in a brisk tone, great, Feng Yuan didn't look so repulsive, and there should be no need to hide things about Fu Zhu from him in the future.

Feng Yuan looked at Xu Mu, hooked the corners of his lips, and quietly released a powerful aura in the car, "intimidating" the little white cat in the beads, do you dare to come out and try?

The car was so quiet that only the breathing of the two could be heard, but the unicorn beads did not move for a long time.

Xu Mu: ..................

In the next five minutes, no matter how Xu Mu called, the beads were still beads, and the arrogant little white cat was nowhere to be seen, as if there was never a zài.

"What's going on?" Xu Mu blinked his eyes, pinched the unicorn bead in astonishment and looked over and over again, he didn't offend it just now, why did he suddenly ignore people again?

Feng Yuan "innocently" brought his handsome face to Xu Mu, and touched the beads in a fake way, "Are you asleep?"

"No, when I was in the Peony Hall just now, it still spoke, and it was only less than half an hour. Xu Mu frowned and was puzzled. What happened to Fu Zhu?

"Xiao Mu, you can't be drunk, right?" Feng Yuan couldn't hold back a smile and rubbed Xu Mu's head with "sympathy". The little guy looks so cute at this moment that people can't help but want to tease him.

"Brother, we obviously didn't drink just now, okay!" Xu Mu raised the corner of his eyes angrily and glared at Feng Yuan, isn't this just saying that he is talking nonsense!

What he said was true!

"Okay, let's go home and try again. Feng Yuan took Xu Muna's eye knife very handy, drove the car back into the carriageway, and sped away in the direction of N University.

The car passed by the gate of Yudai Lake Park, and it happened to be more than nine o'clock, when the stalls began to end.

The old man they saw last time was still sitting lonely in front of the stall with his hands in his hands, with the narrow black knife in front of him, and no one cared about him.

Xu Muzheng was holding his backpack and looking out the window in a daze, and saw him at a glance.

"Brother, it's the uncle who sold knives last time!" Xu Mu patted Feng Yuan's arm, "Let's stop and have a look." "I didn't have time to say goodbye to the sword spirit last time, but now it's time to see if there's anything I can do to help.

Feng Yuan nodded, turned the car into the parking lot of the park, and the two walked to the stall.

[Boy, what are you doing again?] Zhao Yan saw that the kitten was not there, and his tone was also very grinning.

"Come and see you. Xu Mu swept the green belt next to him and replied with his mouth. Although he couldn't see Zhao Yan at this moment, judging from the direction of the voice, this guy was probably leaning against the railing of the green belt again.

[Hmph...... Who is rare. Zhao Yan muttered quietly.

After being quiet for three seconds, Zhao Yanmeng shouted, "You! You can hear General Ben's speech!!]

Xu Mu knew from listening to the voice that Zhao Yan must have jumped into the air and exploded again at this moment!

"I can hear you. Xu Mu continued to answer with his mouth.

[What color is General Ben's scabbard?]

"Black. ”

Zhao Yan: ..................

You can hear it!

The old man was about to close the stall in disappointment, and when he saw them, he paused, "Is that you?"

Feng Yuan met the old man's gaze and said gently, "Uncle, we want to buy this knife, you might as well make a price." ”

Xu Mu and Zhao Yan were stunned when they heard Feng Yuan's words, buy a knife?

"You want to buy this knife?" The old man looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously with cloudy eyes, this young man changed his mind?

"Well, I went back and thought about it carefully in the past two days, and I think I still like this horizontal knife, and I believe that it is genuine, so can you make a price?" Feng Yuan looked at the old man with a sincere face.

"A million. The old man held up a finger and stared at Feng Yuan's expression as if studying.

It's a pity that Feng Yuan's complexion didn't change at all, just lightly bowed, "Do you have any other conditions besides one million?"

Million!!!

Xu Mu was so shocked that he almost threw away his backpack, it's too expensive! Where can he get so much money?

Feng Yuan's account only has 4780,000 yuan, and if he sells Yuhu in his own words, he will only be in his early 6,000s if he sells Yuhu in his hand.

"Do you know I have other conditions?" the old man looked at Feng Yuan in surprise.

Feng Yuan said firmly, "Look at the style of this horizontal knife, although the handle is still the head of the ring, but the length is enough for an adult man to hold it in both hands, I guess it should belong to the early Tang Dynasty, I heard that the best place for the Tang knife is to absorb the technology of 100 steel refining and quenching, and then add the process of covering the soil and burning the blade and cladding steel and clamping steel, and its sharpness can even be used by soldiers to directly split the opponent's armor, which has been claimed to be □□ value in the Tang Dynasty." How can such a knife be worth only a million if it has been left to the present. ”

Xu Mu scratched his head, please don't talk about a million as if it were a hundred, okay!

Zhao Yan was quite happy, [Xu Mu, I didn't see it, this person next to you is quite knowledgeable, and the original cost of this knife was 10,000 taels of gold. 】

Xu Mu: ..................

How much of a loser did you have when you were alive? 10,000 taels of gold to buy a knife?

The old man nodded at Feng Yuan with satisfaction, "I'm really not mistaken, you are a knowledgeable person." ”

"So, what exactly are your conditions?"

"That's it, the night breeze is cool, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk?" The loneliness between the old man's expressions was swept away, and he touched his white beard, revealing a look of relief, and the wrinkles on his face were stretched a lot.

"There should be a teahouse at the intersection in front of us, should it still be open, where are we going to sit and sit?" Feng Yuan thought for a little for two seconds, and then pointed to the left front of a few people.

The old man readily agreed, and Xu Mu bent down to clean up the bedding on the ground for him, wrapped the knife carefully, and held it in his arms.

[Left, left, General Ben likes to lean on other people's left shoulders, quickly change over.] Zhao Yan floated in the air, kicking Xu Mu's ass dissatisfiedly.

You're a Virgo, right? You have to pay attention to your posture when you stay in someone's arms.

Xu Mu sighed, and had to hold the knife in his arms in a different direction.

"How do you know that it likes this direction the most?" Seeing Xu Mu hugging the wrong direction just now, the old man didn't have time to speak, and he saw him correct it again.

"Well, it's just that it's not very comfortable to hold over there, so I changed sides. "How do I know, that kid said it himself!" Xu Mu bit his lip helplessly.

"In the past, when the old man was wrong, he would lose his temper and always blow a whirlwind. The old man recalled happily, not at all angry.

[What can General Ben do, you can't hear it when you shout through your throat. Zhao Yan beside Xu Mu muttered quietly, with a little sadness and grievance.

Xu Mu scratched his ears in embarrassment, pretending not to hear this.

The three of them sat in the small private room on the second floor of the teahouse, ordered a pot of chrysanthemum and a few refreshments, the old man held the tea poured by Feng Yuan, put a rock candy into the teacup, and drank two sips slowly, and then opened the conversation.

"The old man's surname is Wang, three horizontal and one vertical king, the ancestor opened a Chinese medicine shop, and it was passed on to the old man's generation, which happened to be the twentieth generation. ”

[Stupid! Your ancestor was obviously a groom, a groom of General Ben, and only a few hundred years later did a generation work as a buddy in the pharmacy. Zhao Yan, who was in mid-air, "stepped on" the teacup in the old man's hand with his feet dissatisfied, and he couldn't even figure out what his ancestors did!

Xu Mu, who was holding the teacup, was almost choked, and Feng Yuan immediately reached out and patted him on the back with concern, "Are you okay?"

Xu Mu waved his hand and coughed a few times before finally getting better. Zhao Yan's horseman? So, this knife is really the ancestral heirloom of the Wang family?

The old man naturally couldn't hear Zhao Yanjie's words, the history of the Wang family's genealogy was only twenty generations, and he didn't know anything further. He caressed the scabbard lovingly, and continued to take care of himself, "Believe it or not, the old man actually saw the sword spirit of this knife when he was a child, although it was fifty or sixty years ago. However, the old man remembered very well that he was tall, wearing black boots and armor, and he was dressed as a military general, and I was only reaching his thighs at that time. ”

Xu Mu looked at the old man in amazement, what he described was obviously the Zhao Yan he saw the day before yesterday, but how did he see it? Could it be that he has also left his soul?

[He is not a soul, human children usually have the moon wheel unclosed when they are young, and they can see us spirits when they are light. The Wang family can see General Ben, and he is the third. Zhao Yan sighed, as if he knew what Xu Mu was thinking, and explained casually.

"When I was a child, I had very few friends, and my parents were busy watching the pharmacy, so they used to lock me alone in the backyard. In the hall in the backyard, this knife is offered. One day when there was a fire in the backyard, he showed up and took me to the hall to protect me from the fire. When my parents found me, it was said that the entire hall had been burned to ashes, and only the area less than two square meters near the offering table was still intact. ”

[Hmph, with General Ben here, how could it hurt you. Zhao Yan's tone was full of unstoppable pride.

Xu Mu blinked his eyes and tapped Zhao Yan to give him a thumbs up, this guy seems to be really reliable, no wonder he said that he can get rid of filth or something.

"That was the first time he appeared, and I realized later that he was not a human, but the spirit of the knife in the hall. The Wang family has ancestral teachings, and all the children of the Wang family must worship the sword spirit as if they were their own ancestors, and they must not be violated forever. The old man looked at Feng Yuan with a cup, "So, young man, can you guess the old man's conditions?"

Feng Yuan's eyebrows folded slightly, "You...... Could it be that there are no descendants who want to transfer the knife to someone else for worship?"

"Young man, you are really smart, yes, the old man and his wife have been married for forty years, but their knees are hanging empty, the Wang family is destined to be broken in my generation. The old man sighed, "A month ago, my family went, and there was only one old man left, and his days were short, so I wanted to go with her without worry, but there was still such a thing as a sword spirit." For me, this is not only the legacy of my ancestors, but also my lifesaver and childhood friend. Therefore, the old man wants to find someone who knows the goods and is pleasing to the eye to help our Wang family continue to worship the sword spirit. ”

Zhao Yan stretched out his foot angrily to "step" on the teacup on the table, [Who wants you to arrange, General Ben can take care of himself. 】

"You look in good health, huh?" Xu Mu looked at the energetic old man in front of him suspiciously.

The old man smiled and stroked his beard, and then sighed, "The old man has practiced medicine all his life, and has seen the life and death of countless people, so he naturally knows his body, which is the matter of the past ten days." ”

[Obviously, you gave up the treatment yourself and wanted to go underground to accompany your wife. Zhao Yan muttered.

"Offering?Is it to have three pillars of incense in the morning and evening?" Feng Yuan diverted the topic, helped the old man fill up the teacup, and put a rock candy in it by the way.

"You are not a descendant of the Wang family, don't be so troublesome, but at least on the fifteenth day of the new year, remember to put incense on it. ”

Feng Yuan nodded, "No problem." ”

"He likes bergamot-scented incense, and everything else is fine, but don't use sandalwood, he hates that smell the most. ”

"Good. ”

[There is also a rose-smelling one, and General Ben also hates it.] Zhao Yan added disgusted next to him.

Xu Mu: ..................

Does this count as a picky eater?

"It also likes to watch costume martial arts dramas, just like the "Ranger" that has been on play recently, when you have time, you can watch a few more martial arts dramas like this. ”

"Martial arts dramas? There seem to be a lot of Xianxia dramas recently. Xu Mu remembered the popular Xianxia drama that the boss lady was chasing recently.

[Martial arts dramas, watch reality shows without martial arts. If you don't have a reality show, watch One Piece!] Zhao Yan couldn't help but interject again.

Xu Mu: ..................

You have a wide range of activities, even reality shows and two-dimensional ones!

"I don't know about the Xianxia drama you said, but it sometimes likes variety shows. The old man frowned and tried to recall, he was too old to tell the difference between Xianxia and martial arts.

"It's okay, we can put an iPad for him in the future, and put it all he likes to watch. Feng Yuan said indifferently. Anyway, no one uses the ipad at home, so let's just use it to honor it.

"In addition, it likes to come out and walk around often, and it is best to take it with you when you go out for a walk or travel. ”

[It's best to go to a farther place, Daxinganling, Sanya, □□ grassland or something. 】

Xu Mu: ..................

I haven't been to any of these places you mentioned, okay!

This time, I really invited an ancestor home!

"If you agree to all of the above, leave me a phone number, and the old man will contact you in five days to pick up the knife at home. The old man sighed, and habitually touched the scabbard of the Tang knife, as if facing an old friend. "In the past five days, the old man has to take it to a place first. ”

"You're going to take it out of the house?" Feng Yuan frowned keenly.

"That's right, the old man is going to take it to Panmenguan. This is what the old man promised him before, but unfortunately, the world is short, and fifty or sixty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and he has not done it, so I feel ashamed. Now that he is about to enter the ground, the last thing before he dies, he wants to accompany him to see the Panmen Pass. It's late, but it's better than nothing. The old man pressed his hand on the scabbard and patted it affectionately, "In this life, a man should always keep his word, right?"

This time, Zhao Yan was surprisingly quiet, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

Xu Mu blinked, and suddenly felt that the tip of his nose was a little sour, although he couldn't see it, he also knew that Zhao Yan's expression now must not be too good.

On the way home, Xu Mu's love was still a little low, and it was really uncomfortable to say goodbye to life and death.

Feng Yuan parked the car downstairs and rubbed his head gently, "What's the matter, my face has been darker than Hui Mo since just now, and I can't see you in the car without turning on the lights." ”

Xu Mu sighed, "I just feel a little stuffy." Brother, you say, why do people die?"

"Life and death are just the inevitable experience of a person's life, and they are destined from the day they are born, and everyone is the same. If you don't want to die, you shouldn't live. It is precisely because life is short that we should cherish it and not waste the time of this life. Nothing to dwell on. ”

"But ......" Xu Mu sighed, he understood the reason, but he felt bored.

"I thought you were struggling with money, but I didn't expect it to be for life. Feng Yuan pinched his cheek narrowly.

"Ah, by the way, money! How can you promise to buy that knife for a million, we don't have that much money at all!" Hearing the money, Xu Mu immediately had no time to dwell on the question of life and death, his eyes stared at Feng Yuan like a light bulb, how could he forget about this, one million!

Where to find a million for someone!

"Who said no, I have. Feng Yuan said calmly.

"You only have 476,500 yuan in your account. Xu Mu remembered the last time he saw the line of numbers very clearly.

"Who sued you and I only have one account?"

Xu Mu: ..................

What? Do you have another account? Is it really so profitable to be an architect?
