Chapter 175: The Return of the Holy Sword
Lou Wange looked at Shu Huan's unsmiling appearance in a trance, as if Shu Huan was still a wanton teenager a second ago, but in a blink of an eye, he became a straightforward owner, holding all the weapons in the rivers and lakes, and he no longer had the original smile, and all this was only half a month!
"The hour has come, go! Everyone is waiting to meet the new owner! ”
"Okay."
The whole ceremony process is concise and **, the villa suddenly changed owners, although everyone is suspicious, but they don't dare to ask more, although there are two sentences about the bamboo house at the sword awakening conference, they are all soft-spoken, after all, the status of Wanning Villa is there, and the new owner has issued an order not to discuss the things of that day on the rivers and lakes, and there are even fewer people to talk about. However, if they don't say it, it is inevitable that there will be people who secretly spread the news, and rumors such as the appearance of blood spirits and the chaos in the rivers and lakes have spread throughout Beiyue in just half a month after this ceremony.
The ceremony didn't end until late at night, Shu Huan greeted him with a smile and stood very tired and tired for a day, and hurried to Lou Wange's guest room after the end, complaining to her while hammering his legs.
Lou Wange looked at her and chuckled: "This is just the beginning, in the future, you will have to manage the affairs of the villa, and you will have to connect with the rivers and lakes, but it will be much harder than this." ”
"Alas, it seems that the owner of this village is not as majestic as rumored, he wants the wind to be windy and rainy, and who knows the sadness behind this? I really don't know how he managed to go up and down the villa alone in the years after my mother died? Shu Huan said, it seemed to fall into a memory, in the past, when her mother was still there, it was Shu Jinyuan's virtuous helper, who had been helping, since her mother died, before and after, Shu Jinyuan was worried about it inside and out, she was an idle person, and often caused some chaos on the rivers and lakes to worry him, now that I think about it, it really shouldn't be.
"It's okay, just get used to it for a while, I believe in you, you will do better than your father."
"Yes, my father handed over the villa to me, this is the only thing he told me before leaving, for so many years, I am ashamed of him, this Wanning Villa, I will protect it for him!"
Lou Wange looked at Shu Huan, thinking of the past half a month, and suddenly became a little sad, since he entered the imperial capital, he has not made any friends, Shu Huan is still the first, he confessed his heart to each other, and there was no scheming. However, she can't always be here, Shu Jinyuan is dead, her purpose for coming here has been shattered, she should go back when the time comes, there are still many things waiting for her ahead-
Looking at Lou Wange's distraction, Shu Huan stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes and said, "Wange, what's wrong with you?" What are you thinking? ”
"No," Lou Wange regained her senses, held Shu Huan's hand, and said reluctantly: "Shu Huan, I'm leaving!" ”
Shu Huan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly withdrew his hand: "I know you will have to leave sooner or later, but can't you stay for two more days?" ”
"I've wasted a lot of time when I came out this time, and I can't stay any longer."
"Are you going back to the imperial capital?" Shu Huan asked with his eyes lowered.
"You got it?"
"I know your identity is not simple, I also accidentally heard it by chance, you are the master of the Trick Sound Sect, the national teacher of Beiyue, and the master of the "First Pavilion in the World", you came to the villa not to see the Awakening Sword Conference at all, you made a special trip to see him, right, because he is your mother's friend? ”
"Hmm." Lou Wange does not deny it.
"There must be a lot of things waiting for you, right? I've been watching you all the way, I can't sleep well every night and want to go out, you must have a lot of troubles, the court, the rivers and lakes, grievances, right and wrong? Shu Huan continued to ask.
"Hmm." Lou Wange still nodded, I don't know if Shu Huan was the owner of the village, she seemed to be much more transparent, and her words were quite like her father.
"You come with me." Shu Huan thought of something, took Lou Wange's hand, blew out the candle in the room, and quietly came to a rockery in a small courtyard.
"What is this?" Lou Wange was a little puzzled.
"Shhh-" Shu Huan made a silent movement, took out a piece of jade pendant in his arms and put it in an inconspicuous groove added, only to hear a stone sound, a stone door on the rockery opened, Shu Huan pulled Lou Wange into the stone gate, took off the jade pendant, the stone door was naturally closed, and she said to Lou Wange: "This is the secret of Wanning Villa, only the owner of the village can come in here." ”
"And you brought me?"
"He has something for you." Shu Huan said as he pulled Lou Wange towards the depths of the secret passage, the secret passage was terrifyingly quiet, except for the sound of torches on both sides, only the footsteps of the two could be heard and the sound of deep and shallow breathing.
"You still won't call him Daddy?"
Shu Huan didn't answer, but with his memory, he came to a stone door again, twisted the stone sword sculpture on the side, and entered the final place.
A huge room, the room is densely packed with bookshelves, there are all kinds of books, on the wall on one side, there are many portraits, each portrait is annotated with small characters, it turned out to be the portrait of the owner of Wanning Mountain Villa in the past dynasties, and there is an altar under the portrait, it seems that it is the place where the descendants of Wanning Mountain Villa worship the former owner.
"It's-"
"This is the Sword Heart Pavilion, the extremely dense core of Wanning Villa, the world's weapons archives, as long as they come from Wanning Villa, you can find records here, as well as all the sword-making books, martial arts cheats, and many rivers and lakes materials, all here. At the same time, it is also a place of worship for successive owners. Shu Huan looked at the room and narrated them one by one.
"You can see it, no wonder it's called Kenshin Pavilion!"
Shu Huan took Lou Wange, walked along the rows of bookshelves, and walked to the end, there was another stone door, pushed open the door, and saw the red sword-making furnace, the fire was burning, the molten iron in the sword-making furnace was churning, hundreds of sword-makers were shirtless, sweating profusely, or burning fire, or stirring molten iron, or burning models, the air was full of the smell of molten iron, Lou Wange was quite curious, she was the first time to see such a large-scale weapon manufacturing office, and she was dazzled for a while, and she only felt extremely surprised.
"This is the sword building, almost all the weapons in the world are produced here." Shu Huan introduced with some pride, passing by those sword-makers, they all nodded and greeted them very gently.
"It's the first time I've seen such a large scale, and this meeting is very majestic!" Lou Wange sighed involuntarily.
"In the past, it was even bigger, but in recent years, more and more Jianghu organizations have taken refuge in the imperial court, helping those officialdom people to kill people and set fire to do all kinds of evil things, and they no longer need the weapons of our Wanning Villa, and choose the weapons of the official family, and the scale will naturally shrink." After Shu Huan finished speaking, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "I don't mean that, how to choose, it's their own business." ”
"It's okay, although I am the master of the Trick Sound Sect, but I am really a person in the dark ways of the rivers and lakes, and I have never been seen by those people in the rivers and lakes, although I am in the imperial court, my heart has not changed, the people of the rivers and lakes are free and easy, and the people of the trick are all there, and I have not been contaminated with the bad habits of officialdom."
"The first in the rivers and lakes, no one dares to provoke, the bright and dark ways, how to distinguish between them, who knows, those high-sounding rivers and lakes and bright roads, I think, they are the real black-hearted dark ways." Shu Huan said with some righteous indignation.
"This rivers and lakes, I have seen a lot, that's all, those chivalrous demeanors in the past, now, there is not much left, all for the sake of interests, no better than the dark officialdom."
"Yes! The rivers and lakes are sinister, and now they are even worse, but I will find those nameless people sooner or later! Shu Huan said, with a murderous aura in his eyes, and Lou Wange couldn't believe it.
"Alright, here it is." Shu Huan realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly withdrew his eyes and pointed to a big sword platform in front of him.
"What's that?"
"On that platform are the holy swords "Linglong Sword" and "Acacia Sword", and his meaning should be to hand over both swords to you. Shu Huan went to the sword platform to take down the sword and handed it to the Lou Wan singer.
"Give it to me?" Lou Wange couldn't believe it, this was a holy sword for ten years, why did Master Shu leave it to her?
"This Linglong sword was used by your mother Tang Huan before, and it was originally yours, as for this acacia sword, it is a pair of Linglong swords, and it is naturally yours, when he made this sword, it was made for you according to your mother's last wishes." Shu Huan stroked the dragon pattern on the hilt of the sword, and there was a taste of reminiscing about the past.
"My mother?"
"He hid a lot of things, but I know that your mother and he are very good friends, your mother and my mother were also very good friends when they were alive, after your mother and you left eighteen years ago, he never contacted you again, but after your mother died, someone sent him a letter, when he learned the news, he was decadent for a whole month, and then he had the idea of making a "lovesick sword". Shu Huan recalled the events of that year, although she was not in the villa all the year round, there were some things that she was still very clear.
"Shu Huan, what else do you know about the events of the year, about my mother? What kind of entanglement does my mother have with the nameless Nabo? Lou Wange heard the news of her mother's mother, her emotions were a little uncontrollable, and she grabbed Shu Huan's arm tightly and asked.
"I was very young at the time, I didn't know anything, and he kept those things under his cue in order to protect the villa, so I really don't know, maybe, when he comes back, you can ask him again, but I guess he won't tell you, he's the one who hates to pursue the past." Shu Huan smiled a little bitterly, she really couldn't answer Lou Wange's question.
Lou Wange withdrew her hand, a little disappointed: "In this case, I will accept these two swords, but after I leave, you have to forget everything about my mother and me, and you can't mention it to anyone." ”
"I know, he said the same, I will do it, I don't chase the past, I don't want to remember it."
"Hmm."
