When the two saw that the entrance to the cave was sealed, they paid for more than a dozen villagers and craftsmen to dig the cave.

The wind shadow persuaded again: "If the two of you dig the mountain, I am afraid that you will offend the mountain god!" Bring disaster. ”

The two said: "I can't wait thousands of miles to come here, how can I see Baoshan and return empty-handed?" Just want to see the true face of the sword, and it will be worth it. "Ignoring the repeated advice of the wind shadow, he asked the villagers to dig the mountain, and dug for three days before digging the hole.

The two were overjoyed, so they settled the wages and sent the villagers and craftsmen to leave. The remaining point, the two of them dug by themselves for half a day, and then they could enter the cave.

The two of them went into the cave together with torches to look for the sword.

Dozens of steps into the cave, suddenly saw a bright light, the light was filled with purple mist, the two of them held torches to take care of, just in time to see a sword box in the purple mist is leaning on the stone wall next to the cave. The two of them were overjoyed, and prepared to go and get the sword.

Zhao He was in front, so he stepped forward to take the sword box, and before his hand could touch it, suddenly there was a loud sound, and the purple qi condensed, forming a sword, the whole body was awe-inspiring, like frost and snow, and automatically returned to the box.

The two of them were surprised, and hurriedly looked after it with torches, and saw that there was no purple qi, but a sword was inserted in the box.

Pang Hui said to Zhao Er: "The sword of Gongbu is only available to those who are destined, and there is only one sword today, you and me, I don't know who has fate." And how? ”

Zhao and Si Feng Shadow said very reasonable, thinking that this sword can only be obtained by one person, and in order to avoid disputes between the two, he said to Pang Hui: "You and I can see this sword, both are destined people, but I don't know who can get it." I heard that only those who are destined can take it, Brother Pang might as well take it first, if Brother Pang can take it, he is willing to obey the will of heaven. ”

Pang Hui said: "Like this, it is very unfair to Brother Zhao, it is better to catch the lot and set the order." ”

Zhao agreed, so the two took out the turtle shell, which is a divination object and can also be used to draw lots. The heroes of the rivers and lakes are generally carried with them, so that when the matter cannot be decided, they will use the turtle shell to draw lots to decide, and let the judgment of heaven be determined. The two were arrested, and Pang Hui caught it first, so he said to Zhao He: "Brother Meng Zhao has conceded." So he went and took the sword.

As soon as Pang Hui's hand touched the hilt of the sword, it suddenly sounded loudly again, and the Gongbu sword suddenly jumped out of the box by itself, the cold light was shining, the cold air was awe-inspiring, and suddenly the sound of gold and iron in the cave was loud, it was the sound of the dragon and the tiger's roar.

Pang Hui retreated in shock, seeing the sword shuttling and flying in the cave, everywhere he went, the earth and stones fell one after another, the two were surprised, suddenly the wind in the cave was fierce, blowing out the fire torch, like a tiger roaring in the dark, the dragon roared, it seemed to be about to attack people.

The two were shocked, and hurriedly looked outside the cave and ran, and the earth and rocks in the cave were all down. Fell a boulder and hit Pang Hui's head, Pang Hui fell in response, Zhao He was also hit by the falling rock, and crawled out of the cave with a rolling belt, being smashed all over his body and bleeding all over his face.

The shadow of the wind was outside the cave, and when he saw it from afar, he shook his head and sighed, "Why don't you listen to the advice of those who have no fate, and covet the sword, and suffer this calamity." Then he said to the servant beside him, "When you go back, go to the bazaar and buy some paper money, and burn it in front of the cave gate to pay tribute to this distant guest." The injured guest, you can help him go down the mountain to find Lang Zhong to heal him first. Then he went down the mountain and went home.

Zhao He gave up his life to run out, and when he looked back at the cave door, it had been blocked by falling rocks, Pang Hui was seriously injured by falling rocks, and the cave door was closed, so he naturally died in the cave.

Zhao He was frightened in his heart, and did not dare to go to the cave again, so he went down the mountain by himself, and was injured all over his body and could not walk, and met the servant of the wind shadow, and the servant helped Zhao He down the mountain, and went to a Lang Zhong's house in the village to rest, and asked Lang Zhong to heal.

The servant went to the bazaar to buy paper money and went to the mountain to burn it for Pang Hui.

Seeing that Pang Hui had injured his life for the sword, the wind shadow felt deep regret in his heart, and felt sorry for it, and went to the mountain to pay tribute to Pang Hui in person, and went to Lang Zhong's house to visit Zhao He, Zhao He saw the wind shadow coming, and said with tears and regret: "If you don't listen to the words of your predecessors, there will be such a disaster!" ”

Wind Shadow sighed: "The old man can't dissuade the two, and it is really the sin of the old man to make Pang Haojie die in the cave." After today, the old man refused to allow others to come to look for the sword again, and all visitors refused. Zhao Haojie recuperated with peace of mind, and after recovering, he could replace the old man to persuade people not to find a job to cloth the sword. ”

Zhao He nodded and agreed, and after more than ten days of nursing at Langzhong's house, the injury was roughly healed. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Wind Shadow, saying that he was willing to take this as a warning to dissuade others from coming to find the sword.

Zhao He returned to Zhao and said that the Gongbu sword was dangerous and could not be found, and Pang Hui had lost his life because of the sword, and for a while Zhao Guohao was surprised, and most of those who wanted to go to find the sword had to retreat.

Pang Hui's sons were very sad when they saw their father searching for a sword and died, and the eldest son came to Mangdang Mountain in the Song Kingdom to pay tribute to his father. The youngest son, Pang Yuan, was young at the time, saw his father looking for a sword and died, his heart grieved for a long time, and said to his brother: "My father was obsessed with swordsmanship, and he died because of it, and it is not worth emulating. His brother was amazed, so he hired a famous teacher to teach Pang Yuan a hundred schools.

Zhao He's surname is drama, but he was passed on to the Zhao family when he was a child, so he changed his surname to Zhao. His brother of the same clan had a son, who was about the same age as Pang Yuan, and was called Drama Xin, who was less than ten years old at the time.

Juxin is different from ordinary children, he likes legal laws and regulations, plays with the children in the village, and gives orders, just like a decent look. It's just that Ju Xin's parents and family are all civilians, and they don't know Ju Xin's talent. Zhao He went to his brother's house as a guest, and was surprised to see that the jurisprudence of the drama Xin was like that of the old Taoist knife and pen officer in the county, so he instructed his parents that the talent of the drama Xin was rare, but he could cultivate the drama luck.

After Zhao Hexun came back from looking for the sword, he also understood that this Gongbu sword was not available to ordinary people, and saw Pang Hui die because of this, and his heart was touched, so he gave up the way of the sword, and specialized in learning.

Ju Xin deeply felt Zhao Ji's kindness, worshiped Zhao He as his father-in-law, and studied hard.

When Feng Yingzi saw that Pang Hui died because of the search for the Gongbu Sword, he refused to come to the door from all directions, and never mentioned the matter of the Gongbu Sword. As half a year passed, the number of people who came to visit gradually decreased.

From time to time, there are merchants of medicinal materials in the Song Dynasty, come to Mangdang Mountain to find a taste of herbs, go to the cave sealed by the Gongbu sword, faintly hear the sound of the sword, feel strange, then call others to listen, others have not heard. After the others went, the merchant heard the sound of the sword roaring again, and went down the mountain to ask the villagers, and the villagers told them that there was a hermit who sealed the sword in the mountain, so in this way, the merchant knew that the matter was detailed, but he did not take it to heart.

The merchant went to the city of Daliang of Wei to sell medicinal herbs, and happened to buy dog meat to eat in the bazaar, which happened to meet the butcher Zhu Shen. Zhu Shen saw that the merchant had come from afar, so he invited him to sit on the table by the stall and eat dog meat with wine and gossip. Between the two gossiping, the merchant inadvertently talked about this matter, the speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and Zhu Shen inquired about the matter from the merchant's mouth.

Zhu Shen learned the news of the wind shadow and the Gongbu sword, and he also wanted to visit the wind shadow and take a look at the Gongbu sword, but he didn't know if he had a fate, and he was over forty years old, and he was no longer as high-spirited as he was back then, and he had a family, so he couldn't make the trip for a while. Soon, he had to meet Xiaofeng, and when Zhu Shen saw Xiaofeng, he felt that this person was extraordinary and promising. So he informed Xiaofeng of this matter and asked Xiaofeng to try it out with the beauty of an adult.

At the persuasion of Zhu Shen, Xiaofeng and Ding Hu went to Mangdang Mountain in the Song Kingdom to look for the shadow of the wind. The two came to Suiyang Mangdang Mountain, visited the residence of the wind shadow, and came to visit. Galloping to the residence of the wind shadow, knocking on the door to ask for a meeting, a servant asked, and saw that it was a strange guest, so he said: "My master likes to be leisurely, and he refuses to accept guests. ”

Xiaofeng and Ding Hu looked at each other in astonishment, and Ding Hu said: "We are the Hanzhong clan of the Chu State, and we have admired the fame of your master for a long time, and we have come to visit from thousands of miles away, and I would like to see the true face!" ”

The servant said, "Are you two here to find a sword?" If so, go back as soon as possible. My master has already spoken beforehand, and if you meet a sword seeker, you will not see it! ”

Xiaofeng and Ding Hu couldn't help but be stunned again, Ding Hu still wanted to ask, but Xiaofeng stopped: "It seems that the predecessors of the Wind Shadow don't welcome us to wait, since that's the case, don't dare to bother, and let's go back." So he made amends to the servant and beckoned Ding Hu to return.

Ding Hu was still reluctant to return empty-handed, and Xiao Feng persuaded: "Don't be strong, besides, the wind shadow is the leader of the seniors, how can we not respect him?" If you don't obey his orders, you may be presumptuous. So he pulled his horse and returned.

The wind shadow came to dream at night that there was a young man and a strong man in the west on horseback, but the chivalrous man in the dream looked like he was young, and he couldn't help but feel strange when he woke up. When I got up in the morning, I saw a magpie flying again, landing on the branch in front of the window, chirping more than ten times, and I couldn't help but be surprised. At noon, when he heard that someone was coming, he asked the servant what he was.

The servant replied, "There are two men, the younger one less than thirty and the older one in his forties, and they are very powerful." The two of them said that they were from the Han dynasty of Chu and came to find the master. The servant obeyed the master's instructions and let the two go back. It's just strange that the two of them didn't say anything, and when they heard that the protagonist didn't receive strange guests, they went back by themselves. ”

When Feng Yingzi heard this, his heart was even more strange, thinking that these two people had obviously come to find a sword, but when they arrived, they returned because they did not receive outsiders, which was different from ordinary guests. Thinking back to last night's dream, could it be that there was really an omen? Wind Shadow hurriedly ordered the servants and rode after the two guests back.

The servant felt strange, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he rode a horse to chase Xiaofeng, chased to more than ten miles, saw Xiaofeng and Ding Hu walking slowly in front, the servant shouted loudly: "Two guest officers and turn the horse's head, my master is invited!" ”

When Xiaofeng and Ding Hu returned, they couldn't help but be a little disappointed, Ding Hu complained and cursed Wind Shadow all the way, and Xiaofeng persuaded: "Wind Shadow is a senior master, and there must be a reason for his actions, so he can't be blamed." ”

As he was walking, he suddenly heard a shout behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the servant who said that the wind shadow was invited, Xiaofeng was overjoyed, and said to Ding Hu: "I said yes, the predecessor of the wind shadow, and he will definitely not let me be disappointed." ”

So they met the servants, and the three of them turned their horses' heads, and looked at the wind and the shadow of the village and galloped up.
