Chapter 24
The Red Fish Gold Bank escorted a sum of money this time, and each carriage was loaded with five large boxes, which were filled with golden soul stones. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Yanyunshan Sanjie divided six cars with a total of 30 boxes, and the remaining 20 boxes were evenly distributed to the eighth master and Zhu Sanyi, Hui Paper Kite did not participate in any action, but he got five boxes of Yanyunshan's three heroes. This group of people destroyed their bodies and wiped out their traces, and they were separated from each other and hidden from the world.
It is impossible to carry a full five boxes of Golden Soul Stones with you, even if you lead the carriage around all day, it is not a long-term solution. Hui Paper Kite asked Dongfang Tianma to drive the carriage to the edge of a dense forest behind the Dragon Snake Ditch, and the two of them wasted a lot of effort to carry five large boxes of money into the forest, and then began to dig a pit with the shovel found in the wooden house of the Dragon and Snake Gang, digging more than two meters deep, and then stopped after seeing that it was almost done.
Dongfang Tianma was so tired that he was sweating, and sat on the ground and said to Hui Paper Kite: "You hide so much money here, why do you want to bring me here?" Aren't you afraid that I'll give away my secrets? ”
Hui Paper Kite also sweated a lot, her beautiful rose-colored bangs were wet on her forehead, and she stared at Dongfang Tianma with her hazy eyes like rain and mist, and said, "I brought you along, of course I was afraid that you would sneak away while I was away." Besides, with such a heavy box, I can't handle it myself as a woman. As for the money, it doesn't matter if you know about it, let alone leak the secret......" As she spoke, she opened one of the boxes, grabbed out two large handfuls of golden soul stones, wrapped them in two packs with cloth, threw one of them to Dongfang Tianma, and said with a smile: "Okay, you are also our accomplice now!" ”
Dongfang Tianma threw aside the cloth bag he had just put into his arms and said, "I am not your accomplice, as long as you are willing to let me go, I will not tell others to know." ”
Hui Paper Kite snorted, "Two feet grow on your own body, why do you want to ask my opinion if you want to go?" Could it be ...... You can't bear me in your heart? ”
Dongfang Tianma's face turned red, not because of shyness, but because the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, "You don't want me to go at all!" ”
Hui Paper Kite showed a seductive smile again, "Since you know everything in your heart, what are you arguing with my sister and me?" Besides, having a woman like me with you is not a hundred times stronger than being lonely on your road alone? ”
"I'm going to the imperial capital in the south to deliver a letter, and I'm not out to play, so I don't need to be accompanied."
"Sending a message? I've never heard you say that before. Feed! Who are you going to send a letter to? Where is the faith? Let me see. ”
"I can't say that, and even if I did, I wouldn't tell you." After Dongfang Tianma finished speaking, he stood up, slapped the dirt on his body, and said to Hui Paper Kite: "I'll help you bury the money, and then we will go our separate ways." ”
Hui Paper Kite stared at Dongfang Tianma, who was buried in shoveling soil, for a while, and suddenly asked like a topic, "When I met you in Lion Snow Town before, didn't you have a wooden sword with you?" ”
"It was broken when I was in the puppet village, and I was trying to buy a new one, but my friends stole my luggage." Dongfang Tianma said as he wiped the beads of sweat from his head with his hands.
"I'm sorry for you. After leaving the Dragon Snake Ditch, there is a place called Shanlu Village, which is a famous sword-making manor, I will buy one and give it to you. You know, that's what we live by. The coachman survives by pulling goods, the doctor survives by treating diseases, and we thieves certainly survive by stealing, all of which are similar things. ”
"That's different!" Dongfang Tianma put down the shovel and gave a serious objection, "The coachman pulls goods and the doctor treats the sick, these are all work to serve others and help others, and it will bring convenience and happiness to others." And thieves will only bring trouble and distress to others, which are two different things at all. ”
Hui Zhiyi frowned, the stubbornness of a little woman in her heart was hooked, and she retorted: "But we also occasionally help some poor people who have a difficult life!" We're not all evildoers! ”
"Needless to say, just because you robbed so much money this time, how many people in the Red Fish Gold Bank will be affected? They have done nothing wrong, and they are people who have worked hard, should they suffer the losses caused by you? ”
The more the two talked, the more emotional they became, and they simply didn't care about anyone. Dongfang Tianma buried the box and turned around and left, he didn't take the bag of golden soul stones on the ground, only took his luggage. Hui Paper Kite didn't step forward to stop him, letting him go somewhere.
Twenty miles south from the Dragon Snake Ditch is the Mountain Deer Village, and when it comes to this name, the entire continent has a reputation. The owner of Yamagaso, who called himself Yamaga Weng, was a famous swordsman in his youth, who once won a sword battle with the leaders of the city-state swordsman group at the time, and then traveled all over the world, constantly improving his pursuit of the highest level of swordsmanship by fighting with swordsmen from all over the world. After the age of fifty, he sealed his sword and went into hiding, because he was too famous to be idle, and because of the years of unforgiveness, he was persecuted by the enemy's calculations several times. Desperate to take refuge in Lushan, I met a golden-horned deer, realized a set of mountain deer swordsmanship, and after going down the mountain, I self-destructed my face and changed my name to Yamaga Weng, and since then I have started the business of casting swords.
Dongfang Tianma stands at the main entrance of the mountain deer village, the two deer statues sitting and lying on both sides of the stone steps are placed, and a long plaque is hung above the door, on which there are three dark green characters of the mountain deer village. What is very strange is that the walls surrounding the whole manor are painted with different kinds of deer, and the top of the wall is a round arch, and a metal barb is inlaid every half a meter, and the base of the bird cage is hung on it, and the birds in the cage will chirp together at the slightest movement.
The sound of the birds was only a cup of tea, and a crack was opened in the closed door of the mountain deer village, and a small head poked out of it, which was actually a little boy with a silver headband with antlers. Seeing Dongfang Tianma standing in front of the door, he said to him, "This traveler, are you here to buy a sword, or are you here to spend the night?" ”
Dongfang Tianma replied: "If it's convenient, I'll do both." ”
The boy smiled and opened the door halfway, and said with a grin, "Please come in." ”
Oriental Pegasus follows the boy to the village, first through a garden with potted plants, then a labyrinth of corridors, and finally to a small three-story building. The red bricks of this small building are like blood and green tiles like jade, and they emit a soft halo under the sunlight, reflecting on the cheeks of the two.
Dongfang Tianma couldn't help but look dumbfounded, and the little boy on the side was very proud, and said: "This is our owner invited many skilled craftsmen to refine bricks with animal blood and dye tiles with blue wine, so that such a blue tile blood brick building was built, and the whole continent can't find a second one." ”
Entering the blue tile blood brick building, I saw that there were eight jade pillars in the hall to support, six high-backed chairs on each side of the left and right hands, and there was a picture scroll hanging on the wall behind the main seat in the center, depicting the scene of nine sika deer drinking water by the mountain stream, this painting is also called "Nine Deer Creek Drinking Map".
Sitting on the throne was Yamaga Weng, who was full of vigor and vigor like a teenager even though he had passed his prime. He wrapped his white hair in a hat made of deerskin and antlers, and the flesh on his cheeks was twisted like a burn scar, with only two white eyebrows hanging straight to the level of his mouth. His stature is short and fat, and when he speaks, there is a kind of fairy wind in his voice.
At this time, there were already three people in the guest seat, and the four of them were talking about something. Dongfang Tianma approached, and stood on the side with the little boy to listen, only to see the person sitting in the first seat on the left hand side of Yamaga Weng said: "Yamaga Weng's craftsmanship is well-known in the mainland, and the White Dragon Shining Sun Sword that was built for the general's birthday last time made him full of praise, so this time I also ask you to build one for me personally." "This man was wearing a tunic with white python pattern and gold trim, and white boots on his feet, his face was handsome and heroic, and his speech and demeanor were all the temperament of a person in a noble family.
Yamaga Weng wore a colorful robe, sat on a chair and said with a smile: "It's a rare honor that the weapon made by this old man can satisfy the general." Sir Yan, please stay in Xiaozhuang for a few days, I will build the sword you want as soon as possible. Chief Yan agreed, and then got up and went to the back of the lodging.
At this time, the first person sitting on the right hand side of Yamaga Weng spoke: "I want to ask Yamaga Weng to build the weapon as soon as possible, because I have an urgent matter and need to rush to Moon Mushroom City, and I must leave within three days." This man was wearing a bright red shirt and trousers, with black animal claws printed on his back, a pair of tiger eyes under thick eyebrows, and a black mole the size of a bean under the root of his left ear.
Yamaga Weng nodded with a smile and responded: "This is no problem at all, Zhou Ranger doesn't have to worry, I will get the weapon ready before tomorrow at the earliest." That week, the ranger got up and thanked him, and went back to his resting place.
The remaining one person was a businessman from the west of the mainland, and Yu Shanlu Weng briefly talked about business matters, and also turned to the back.
Seeing the three guests leaving one after another, the little boy stepped forward to report: "Owner, there is a traveler here who wants to buy a sword, and by the way, he wants to stay here with us." ”
Yamaga Weng stroked his long eyebrows on one side, smiled kindly at Dongfang Tianma, and said: "This little brother has come from afar, presumably the sword is casting, and it is the master to rest, right?" ”
Dongfang Tianma saw that his heart was told by the other party, so he simply nodded and admitted: "You are talking about the old man, I came here in a hurry, and there are no hotels to live around, so I thought of you to spend the night here." It just so happened that my original wooden sword was broken, and if I could see it at your place, I would buy it at the right price. ”
Yamaga Weng nodded to the little boy and said, "Deer boy! Take this guest to the sword room at the back and pick it up. After saying that, he handed over the key to the sword room to Lu Tong.
Lu Tong agreed, and led Dongfang Tianma out of the Biwa Blood Brick Building through the side door, and shuttled through the labyrinthine corridor for a while, and then came to the sword room used to display the finished products at the back of the manor. In order to avoid private entry by idle people, there are two gates to enter the sword room, the first is the entrance to the courtyard wall guarded, and the second is the entrance to the sword room that requires the key of Yamaga On.
Lu Tong opened the door with the key and said to Dongfang Tianma: "You can see, if there is anything you like, tell me, I will go and report to the master, and come back to tell you the price set by the master." ”
Dongfang Tianma couldn't help but ask, "Is every sword in this one made by Grandpa Yamaga Weng himself?" ”
"Of course! Many well-known swordsmen and collectors have come for the name of our owner, and this is not a slight. Deer Tong replied as he led the Eastern Pegasus into the sword room.
The sword room is divided into orderly categories, and is placed in different areas according to different materials. There are not only the most common and practical copper swords, iron swords, steel swords, but also silver swords, gold swords, jade swords with strange shapes and collectible significance, there are bladed and unedged, there are hanging on the wall and there are also placed on the shelves, roughly estimated that there are tens of thousands, so this sword room is called "Luzhuang Wanjian Pavilion".
Despite the wide variety of goods, Dongfang Tianma noticed at a glance the area of wooden swords that were the least number placed in the corner, and he walked straight over without even thinking about it.
