[If there is no one around]
Bai Yutang said that Tianzun had the same knife, and there seemed to be a story during this period.
"My master has a lot of knives in his arsenal." Bai Yutang said, "He is usually lazy, and I will go to clean up the cabinet for him when I have time." ”
Everyone looked at Bai Yutang with a suspicious look, what does that mean-your noble son will still clean up the room?
Bai Yutang was also quite innocent, "What's the problem?" ”
Everyone shook their heads together.
Bai Yutang continued, "That time when I was cleaning up the knife store, I found a box, which was randomly placed on the top of the shelf, and I hadn't paid attention to it before. There was a thick layer of ash on the box, my master often wiped the knife, this box is estimated to have not been opened for a long time, so I opened it curiously and took a look, inside was an ordinary scimitar, with a scabbard. ”
"Like this?" Zhan Zhao asked, holding the knife drawn by Gongsun.
"It's very similar, the scabbard is similar to Tan Jin's description, black leather, with patterns carved on it, as if it were some stars or arhats...... I didn't look too closely. ”
"That's right!" Tan Jin nodded, "It's a mythical diagram of the stars." ”
Zhan Zhao frowned, "What about later?" ”
"I'm curious, so I took out the knife and prepared to take a look ......at it," Bai Yutang said, seemingly a little helpless, "But Master ran in at this time, and when he saw me looking at this knife, he pulled it over and said something very strange." ”
"What did you say?"
"What did he say, 'If you don't look at it, you can't look at it.'" Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhan Zhao was curious, "Tianzun usually speaks in this style?" ”
Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "It's not ...... I'll take you to meet him when I'm free. ”
Zhan Zhao nodded immediately.
Zhao Pu looked at Ouyang Shaozheng beside him with some confusion - is this okay?
Ouyang also felt ...... It turns out that it's so easy to see living immortals?
"I want to see it too." Master Pang leaned over, "I heard that Tianzun is the supreme martial arts supreme." ”
Bai Yutang looked at Pang Ji with a regretful expression, "My master doesn't see outsiders." ”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then looked at Zhanzhao - isn't this also an outsider? Is it considered an insider?
Bao Zheng coughed, he needed to stay calm and focus on the case and forbid gags, so he waved his hand, "Shaoxia continues." ”
Bai Yutang nodded, "After that, he put the knife back on the knife rack, and I didn't pay much attention to it." After a while, I went back to Trap Island, and Master Feige sent a message saying that he wanted to eat crabs, so I sent them to him. I remember that it was raining heavily that day, and as soon as I entered the door, I saw Master sitting at the table in a daze, holding his chin with one hand, and an empty box on the table. ”
Everyone looked at each other.
Zhao Pu asked, "Is it the box that contains the knife?" ”
"yes." Bai Yutang nodded, "I asked him, 'Where is the knife'?" And he said, 'It has been stolen.'" ”
……
Zhan Zhao was taken aback, "Can someone steal something from Tianzun?" ”
Bai Yutang shrugged helplessly, "I also asked him like this, it turned out that the other party used a very despicable technique." ”
"What's the method?" Everyone wondered.
"Someone sent a letter to Master saying that I am going to get married......" Bai Yutang finished speaking, holding his forehead, "and then he believed." ”
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "And then what about ......"
"The letter said that the girl was from Changzhou Mansion, and my master killed her in Changzhou." Bai Yutang was helpless, "I found out that I had been deceived when I arrived, and when I returned to the valley, I found that it had been stolen." ”
……
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched - is this all right? Could it be that the Supreme Invincible Heavenly Venerable is a heartless ......
"It's strange that the other party didn't steal the money or his private collection of antiques, but stole the scimitar in the box that didn't look worthless."
Everyone was amazed - what was the value of this scimitar?
Zhan Zhao wondered, "If you don't steal so many other good knives, you just steal a scimitar?" For what? ”
"At first, I thought that maybe I couldn't take other knives away, because the box containing the knives was made by me for my master, it was very strong, and it couldn't be opened without a key, and the box was pressed into the cabinet with internal force, and it was impossible to take it out without my master's fifty percent internal force."
Zhan Zhao was taken aback, and said in his heart - I'm afraid there are really few people in the world who can take it out.
"But that scimitar doesn't have any mechanism, it's just sitting on it, and I don't know if the master doesn't like it." Bai Yutang was quite helpless, "But after the knife was stolen, the master seemed to be preoccupied for two days, and he was not in a good mood when eating crabs." ”
"Distressed?" Zhan Zhao also felt that it was a pity.
"I don't know what to do." Bai Yutang shook his head, "I wanted to take him out of the city to go for a walk, buy something to make him happy, but he said, 'This thing is kept for others, it would be good if you didn't want it back then, but you have to find it if you lose it now, it's really annoying'." ”
"Oh......" Everyone nodded and felt that it was understandable, it turned out that it was not Tianzun's knife, and if it was lost, it would be compensated to others.
"Did you find the knife then?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.
"My master went down the mountain and came back empty-handed, only saying one word."
"Say what?"
"If the stubborn stone is not dissolved, it will bring about its own destruction." Bai Yutang recalled for a moment and shook his head, "Master never mentioned this matter after that, and I don't remember either." ”
"How long ago was that?" Zhao Pu asked.
"Not long, a year ago?" Bai Yutang recalled, "In the autumn. ”
"Hmm." Zhanzhao nodded, "Autumn crabs are beautiful." ”
……
Everyone looked at each other silently - it seems that Zhan Daxia uses food to distinguish the seasons.
"What do you mean?" Gongsun said to himself, "Tianzun said twice, 'stubborn stones do not melt', is it to describe people or knives? ”
Bai Yutang shook his head.
"Does that Tianzun have a clue?" Zhao Pu asked Bai Yutang, "He doesn't know who stole his knife?" ”
Bai Yutang thought about it carefully and frowned, "Speaking of ......"
"Does it have anything to do with the sword line or the sword alliance?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Well, once Lu Feng came to see the master, talked about the recent situation of the martial arts in the world, mentioned the rapid development of the Sword Alliance, and praised the sword style a few words. In addition, he also said that he received a post from the Sword League and was going to attend a conference held by the Sword Wind. Bai Yutang said, "But the master asked Lu Feng not to get too close to the person of Dao Xingfeng, and in the future, the activities of the Dao Alliance, the Tianshan faction can be exempted, and do not participate." ”
"Tianzun doesn't like the person who is swordsman?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Do you have any evaluation of him?" ”
"My master rarely evaluates others." Bai Yutang thought for a while, "But he said that the sword style is too ambitious or something, and he didn't mention anything else." ”
Everyone nodded—there seemed to be something to do with it, but there was no evidence at this point, I couldn't say.
……
At this time, the sound of a rooster crowing came.
Pang Ji yawned and looked at the sky, "It's almost dawn, let's go back and sleep for a while." ”
And so they dispersed.
Zhan Zhao noticed that Bai Yutang's habits were serious, and when he left, he bent down to pick up the wine jars scattered on the ground and set them aside.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, usually a person's habits and cultivation are reflected in the details, and the outside world's evaluation of him is really a little taken for granted, which is not very fair.
Back in the house, Zhan Zhao stretched his waist and just wanted to lie down, when the door opened, Bai Yutang stood at the door.
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows - he had just praised him for his self-cultivation, why did he break in?
Bai Yutang walked in and stared at Zhanzhao.
Zhan Zhao looked at him, and the two sides were silent for about half a cup of tea, and Zhan Zhao spoke, "What are you doing?" ”
Bai Yutang put the knife on the table and asked with a puzzled expression, "Are you really ......?"
"Shh Zhan Zhao went over and covered his mouth.
Bai Yutang was covered by him, raised his eyes to look at him, and for a long time, he broke his hand, "It turns out that it really is." ”
Zhan Zhao touched his nose, "You should have a tight mouth, right?" ”
Bai Yutang smiled, "That depends on the situation." ”
Zhan Zhao also smiled, "Looking at your appearance, you are not the type to talk about right and wrong behind your back." ”
Bai Yutang was still confused, "I just don't understand, with your identity, you would come to Kaifeng Mansion to help?" ”
"Alas!" Zhan Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, "I helped Master Bao investigate the case completely out of my own volition, and I have no other ideas." ”
Bai Yutang nodded, "Then you should be careful yourself, but now no one in the rivers and lakes except me and my master should have the ability to find out your background." ”
Zhan Zhao nodded, "I think too." ”
"You sleep, I'll go back to my room." Bai Yutang stood up, holding a knife and wanting to leave.
"Do you think it's very likely that Dao Xingfeng will send someone to steal your master's knife?" Zhan Zhao asked suddenly.
Bai Yutang stopped and looked back at Zhanzhao.
"The head of the Broken Knife Gate seems to use a broken knife, although it is not a scimitar, but before he entered the Broken Knife Gate, he was a thief, and he was still a thief." Zhanzhao reminded.
"How do you know the way?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Have you forgotten who I am?" Naturally, there are grapevine sources. ”
Bai Yutang frowned, "If it is the head of the Broken Knife Gate who steals Master's scimitar, and there are people in white who destroy them, it is normal for the knife to suspect me." ”
"Dao Xingfeng seems to want to seek revenge on you, but he doesn't want Lord Bao to find out the truth about the destruction of the Broken Knife Gate." Zhan Zhao said, "And the person who destroyed the Broken Knife Gate is definitely not him, so the Broken Knife should also be lost." ”
"Dao Xingfeng couldn't find the broken knife, so I thought I took it on the orders of my master." Bai Yutang felt very reasonable when he heard it.
"If someone kills the broken knife and then blames the door, then the scimitar should be in his hands." Zhan Zhao was a little tired, leaned on the bed, patted the side, motioned for Bai Yutang to sit too, and analyzed, "But since the two knives are in hand, what are you doing with Dao Xingfeng?" Is there a third knife? ”
Bai Yutang sat down beside Zhan Zhao, reached out and dragged a soft pillow behind his head, "In addition to the knife, there may be something else." ”
"What is it?"
"Can't think of it."
"Think again."
"Hmm."
……
The next day, when it was almost noon, Gongsun woke up, stretched his waist and sat up, beating his sore shoulders, and saw that beside him, the little fourth son didn't know when Lu Dao woke up, and was pouting and lying beside him with his chin in his hands, bent his feet in a daze.
"How barefoot, be careful of stomach aches." Gongsun grabbed one of the little fourth son's feet and came over to take a look, and found that the worn place that day had scabbed, and he was afraid that he would scratch itchy, so he got out of bed and brought him medicine to compress, while putting socks on him, "When did you wake up?" ”
"Oh just now." The fourth son rolled over and rubbed his grandson, "Daddy, when are we going back to the room?" ”
"It's almost dawn, Zhao Pu will come back with you." Gongsun got up, changed his clothes and combed his hair.
"Ninety-nine has so much strength." The little fourth son cleaned up first, and when the grandson washed himself, the little guy chattered and talked on his lap.
Gongsun glanced at him, "Daddy also has a lot of strength." ”
The little fourth son made a grimace, what it means - it's weird.
"Daddy, did you find out the murderer yesterday?"
"Nope." Gongsun changed his clothes and took the little fourth son by the hand and went out to find something to eat.
When he arrived in the compound, he bumped into Zhao Pu, who was yawning and rubbing his neck, and Ouyang Shaozheng, who was stretching his waist behind him.
"Sir, up?" Ouyang Shaozheng greeted Gongsun.
Gongsun nodded, and the little fourth son rushed over and hugged Zhao Pu's leg and shouted, "Jiujiu, morning!" ”
Zhao Pu stretched out his hand and gently lifted him, threw him into the air and caught it again, "Morning, little four." ”
Xiao Sizi laughed so much that the two pear vortices ran out and asked Zhao Pu, "Are you going to eat?" ”
"Go!" Zhao Pu nodded.
Gongsun squinted his eyes on the side, why did the little fourth son like Zhao Pu so much, he was jealous of being a father!
"Lord Wang."
As he was talking, Gongsun saw a man in black who he had never seen jumped down from the eaves and saluted in front of Zhao Pu's eyes.
Gongsun knows that set of clothes, it seems that Zhao Pu's shadow guards are all in uniform clothing, but the colors are different, this is estimated to be called black shadow.
"Blackie!"
Sure enough, the purple shadow who ran out from behind greeted happily while tying his hair, "It's fast enough!" ”
The black shadow sent a letter to Zhao Pu, "According to the prince's method, the hangover medicine and vinegar have worked, and now everything is normal, this is the letter of the deputy general." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Ziying and Ochre Shadow, which was regarded as a greeting, as if he was very familiar, and he seemed to be a little curious about the white and chubby little fourth son in Zhao Pu's arms.
Zhao Pu opened the letter and looked at it, a smile appeared on his face, he showed the letter to Ouyang, and turned back to thank Gongsun, "Thank you, Mr. for your good move, there is no need to rush at the border gate." ”
Gongsun was stunned, but he was a little cramped, how could Zhao Pu thank him so seriously. Scratching his head, he reached out and took the little fourth son, "You guys talk slowly, let's eat." ”
Zhao Pu seemed to be embarrassed when he saw Gongsun, so he was a little funny, this scholar is also interesting, does he eat soft or hard?
Purple Shadow went over and put his arm around Black Shadow's shoulder, "When are you going back?" Don't be in a hurry to stay together, it's lively here. “
The black shadow nodded happily, and was in no hurry to go back anyway.
"Let's go to dinner together." Zhao Pu was in a good mood, and he waved his hand to wash the dust of the black shadow, no need to ask, he probably ran over without sleeping.
It's just that as soon as everyone walked to the gate of the courtyard, they saw Gongsun, who had just run out of the courtyard, suddenly ran back in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Pu saw that he was running in a hurry, and he was a little puzzled.
"There's a fight!" The little fourth son said.
"Who fights with whom?" Ouyang Shaozheng was curious.
"Did Bai Yutang come with a person in purple clothes, was he from the same door?"
Zhao Puyi raised his eyebrows, "Yes, Yao Ziling." ”
There were many onlookers on the street, and I asked, and it was said that he and the people of the Sword Alliance had a fight, and it was a fierce fight.
"What about Bai Yutang?" Zhao Pu looked around.
"Zhanzhao isn't here either, could it be that he hasn't gotten up yet?" Ouyang Shaozheng whispered to Zhao Pu and gossiped, "Bai Yutang didn't go back to the house last night, it seems that he didn't come out after entering Zhanzhao's house." ”
Zhao Pu frowned and looked at him, "What are you fooling around all day long, dirty heart." ”
Ouyang raised his eyebrows, "Phew! I can see it through. ”
"There are many people in the Sword Alliance, and it seems that Yao Ziling is at a loss." Gongsun hugged the little fourth son and went back to Bai Yutang to report the news, and everyone felt that there was excitement to see, so they followed.
ran to the door of Zhanzhao's room in the backyard and found that the door was not closed at all, but was just hidden.
Last night, Bai Yutang was going to sit and leave, so he didn't lock the door at all, and Zhanzhao didn't usually have any habit of locking the door.
Gongsun pushed the door and walked inside, and everyone went to the door to look...... I saw that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang really hadn't woken up yet.
The two of them didn't know what to talk about last night, they seemed to fall asleep while chatting, their clothes didn't change or cover, and they lay on the bed side by side with their heads next to their heads.
Bai Yutang is lying quite elegantly, Zhanzhao's posture is a little more complicated, and it seems that the sleeping appearance is not very good.
So many people flocked to the door, and these two people had high internal strength and strong ear power, so they were naturally woken up.
Zhanzhao rubbed his neck and sat up, feeling a pain in his shoulder.
Bai Yutang also felt that his arm was a little numb, and sat up and rubbed his head.
Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked at the people at the door puzzled, "You all got up?" ”
Everyone didn't know how to speak, but they felt that the room was filled with a warm and warm atmosphere...... The gentlemen of the people are frank, the brothers sleep, what are they ignorant about?
Bai Yutang stood up and asked Zhanzhao, "Do you have a handkerchief for washing your face for me?" ”
"Over there." Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed to the shelf with a handkerchief hanging from it.
Bai Yutang went over to get it, walked out, and went to the well to fetch water to wash his face.
Zhanzhao seemed to have twisted his neck, rubbed his neck and came out, went to the well to take the cup that Bai Yutang had just rinsed and rinsed, and said, "What kind of wine did you have yesterday, you have so much stamina." ”
Bai Yutang picked up the cold well water to wash his face, and instantly sobered up a lot.
Zhan Zhao took the handkerchief and wet it in the water, and turned around to ask Zhao Pu, who was standing at the door and watching the two of them, "Are you going to eat?" I'm just hungry, together. ”
"Uh......" the crowd opened their mouths.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other - what's wrong? Didn't wake up from last night's drink? It's stupid.
Just when everyone was stupid, Xiao Sizi suddenly shouted, "In vain, your friend and those bad guys have a fight." ”
Bai Yutang was slightly stunned and turned around.
Gongsun remembered, "Outside, Yao Ziling and Dao Xingfeng fought. ”
Bai Yutang wiped his face with a handkerchief, but he was not in a hurry, went back to the room and took a knife, and walked out.
Zhan Zhao hurriedly wiped his face clean, took Juque and ran out.
Seeing that everyone was still stunned, he hooked his fingers, "Let's go, watch the excitement!" ”
After speaking, he ran out of Lu and walked away with Bai Yutang.
Gongsun touched his chin, "Why do I feel a little embarrassed." ”
"I think so." Zhao Pu nodded.
Ochre Shadow and Black Shadow also nodded, only Purple Shadow and Little Fourth Son tilted their heads in confusion and asked everyone, "Are you embarrassed?" ”
