Chapter 47: Liao Qi
Lao Liu took out the dagger and looked at it carefully, and found that the end of the dagger handle was engraved with two faint seal characters: ask the sky.
According to legend, Ou Yezi, the master of the Warring States Sword Casting (Note (1)) made a pure Jun sword, the cold iron used to make the sword was left out of one catty and two taels, so by the way this dagger was created, after the dagger was cast, suddenly the sky rained red, Ou Yezi didn't know what was going on, so he named this sharp blade "Wentian", and later this dagger became the guy used by the royal family in the past dynasties, not to do anything else, specially used to cut the "important ministers" of meat.
Legend has it that Liu Bang had promised Han Xin that he would not kill him with a knife, so he inserted Han Xin's bamboo skewer alive, but in the legend of wild history, the bamboo skewer is just Liu Bang's patience to cover people's face, and the Son of Heaven is not afraid of the world's shame when he speaks, but in fact, Han Xin was executed by Ling Chi, and the guy who executed him was this "Wentian", in the Song Dynasty, Ling Chi's torture was once abolished, and "Wentian" was just a plaything of the court, and at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was used to execute the famous general Yuan Chonghuan, and it was this "Wentian". In fact, the emperor is not not afraid of heaven and earth, according to ancient legends, ministers are all stars in the sky, killing these important ministers, their grievances are different from ordinary people, so they use this kind of evil weapon to execute, hoping to use evil qi to deter the resentment of the dead. Legend has it that when Han Xin and Yuan Chonghuan died, it rained red in the sky, perhaps this is the answer to Ou Yezi's puzzle.
Zhang Guozhong weighed this Wentian at the moment, the size was shorter than the "dragon scales" and "cutting iron", and the weight was also light, in order to test whether this legendary eternal blade was genuine, Zhang Guozhong opened his eyes, only to see a strong blue-black evil qi hovering in his hand, and the dragon scales and cutting iron were immediately dwarfed.
"People use peachwood swords, you use real guys, I think you are not ordinary..."Uncle Seven looked at the two of them with a smile, "And I have invited no less than ten of the most famous masters from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and even Japan, all of them are helpless, you can actually see the flaws..., if the two of you can really let me move back, this dagger will be used as a meeting gift, but the ugly words are in front, if I can't move back, the two of them will return to Zhao!" ”
"Thank you Uncle Seven," Zhang Guozhong was not polite, he took Wentian and pinned it in his waist, Lao Liu's eyes were about to pop out, there was no way, the junior brother didn't have any hobbies, and the baby he exchanged for his life from Bashan was given to himself without saying a word, and it was not easy to reach out at this time. "Guozhong, that dragon scale... Isn't it..."Old Liu Tou thought to himself that it was not bad, and it was worth it to ask the guy who could take care of his house back. So far, the chopping iron has completed its short-lived mission in the hands of Lao Liu Tou and has become a permanent memento.
At this moment, Uncle Seven sighed, "I didn't expect this surnamed Zhao to treat me like this!" I don't want to give up my life, and I will let you die a good death! Then he began to cough violently again.
The seventh uncle is called Liao Qi, according to the generation, and the patriot Liao Zhongkai can also be involved in the relationship, the seventh uncle's ancestor is in the land business, and the grandfather began to do steel and rubber business when he was 30 years old, and later got involved in paper and plastics, to the grandfather in his 50s when he founded the Liao business, after the hard work of the seventh uncle's father's generation, Liao's enterprise passed to the hands of the seventh uncle, is already the largest rubber trader and steel trader in Southeast Asia, in 1976, Uncle Seven was once knighted by the Queen of England along with the ship king Bao Yugang, so he was eligible to buy a black Rolls-Royce.
The surname Zhao in the mouth of the seventh uncle, whose real name is Zhao Kuncheng, grew up in an orphanage, his background is unknown, and he once worked under the seventh uncle, because of his shrewdness and ability, he soon became the most trusted person of the seventh uncle. Five years ago, Liao's company and the French did a big business, known as the largest non-ferrous metal transaction in Southeast Asia at that time, the seventh uncle sent the most trusted Zhao Kuncheng to take full charge of the negotiations, leading the other members of the board of directors to France to negotiate, and he personally sat in Hong Kong to raise resources from the company's mines in Africa and the Americas. But what Uncle Seven never expected was that this Zhao Kuncheng was unusually loyal, and sold the entire Liao company for the benefit of a mere 200 million francs, making Uncle Seven lose billions, which hurt his vitality all of a sudden.
This is not counting, after the two turned against each other, this Zhao Kuncheng also designed to kill the only son of the seventh uncle, it is said that he used the method of the side door to create a bizarre traffic accident, the police have not found any clues, although it is said that they know that Zhao Kuncheng did it, but there is no evidence. Because Uncle Seven has been living in seclusion, he did not die like his son.
Later, Zhao Kuncheng opened a company, took away many big customers of Liao's enterprise, and worked against Uncle Seven, and this time he paid attention to the ancestral house of the Liao family, and I don't know what crooked ideas there are.
"How can it be!" Zhang Guozhong smashed the table with his hand, seeing that the old man of Uncle Seven was also quite pitiful, he couldn't help but feel that Zhao Kuncheng was very hateful, but when Old Liu Tou and Uncle Seven looked at him strangely, they found that they were out of shape.
"I'm sorry, I'm just angry, how can I be like this?" Zhang Guozhong explained.
"Young man, if my son is still alive, he should be as old as you..."Speaking of his son, Uncle Qi's eyes turned red, "Two gentlemen, my ancestral house is entrusted to you, in fact, there is something I didn't want to tell you, but now I think it's okay to talk about it." ”
Zhang Guozhong was stunned, "Is there any secret in your ancestral home?" ”
"I said that my Liao family's ancestors were in the land business," Uncle Qi sighed, "The title deed handed down by the ancestor is in that ancestral house, and my grandfather died too suddenly, and I didn't have time to say where the title deed was hidden, otherwise my grandfather would not have changed his career." Taipei, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Tokyo, Osaka, and the whole of Southeast Asia, there is my Liao family's land, which is larger than the whole of Hong Kong, and now the Liao family is defeated, and I can't fight the surname Zhao at this age, but as long as I can find those land deeds, my Liao Qi can make a comeback!! Saying that, Uncle Seven actually stood up from the sofa with a crutch, and the bruises on his face were exposed, "In my lifetime, if I don't let that person surnamed Zhao fall into disrepute, I won't enter the ancestral grave of the Liao family!" ”
"Seventh Master," after listening to the Seventh Uncle's complaint, Old Liu Tou's title was obviously much closer, "You told us this, it's not just as simple as wanting to move back to the ancestral house, right?" ”
"Hey, Mr. Liu, it's not a secret, when you help me recapture the ancestral house, I hope you can help me find those land deeds, and I believe that the surname Zhao is also looking for it now, I hope we can go before him." The Seventh Master's gaze was close to pleading.
Now Zhang Guozhong is also embarrassed, finding things is not the strength of Maoshan technique, the title deed is ordinary paper, is there any evil way, how to find it...
"You don't have to be embarrassed, we already have an appointment in advance, you just need to help me recapture the ancestral house, and I won't force the two of you to do the rest..."
"What is the origin of this Zhao Kuncheng? How can you still have those sideways? Did he do it himself, or did he find someone else to do it? Zhang Guozhong wondered, theoretically speaking, how could such a person who knows how to use magic to harm people mix with the business world?
"He did it himself..."Uncle Seven was helpless, "I don't know where he learned those side ways, but I hired underworld forces in Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia, hoping to find clues to my son's death, but after checking for a long time, there are no clues at all, if it is really found by someone else, it should be found out anyway..."Uncle Seven said helplessly.
"Why is it that if this person has the surname Zhao, he is so difficult?" Lao Liu was depressed for a while, the one who built the treasure cave was called Zhao Sange, and the one who killed the master in the tomb was called Zhao Le, and there will be another Zhao Kuncheng..."Guozhong, do you say that this person is not a family?" Old Liu Tou joked.
Old Liu Tou joked, Zhang Guozhong didn't listen to it as a joke, "Senior brother, I think it's possible, you see, Zhao Sange has already invented the descending technique in the Later Jin Dynasty, at least it is a spell similar to the descending technique, more than a thousand years earlier than that Luo Youchang, he is definitely a first-class master, that Zhao Le will be a scholar, and in the absence of any outside information, he actually broke the Chisel Dragon Array by himself, and it should not be a fuel-efficient lamp, this Zhao Kuncheng, since he can kill people with spells, it means that this person's ability is not small, and his heart is not right..." Zhang Guozhong paused, "Senior brother, I think that the people who broke the dragon formation in the Qing Dynasty may also be from their old Zhao family, maybe they are a family!" This set of skills is passed down from their family! You say that... Yin, will it be in Zhao Kuncheng's hands? Zhang Guozhong wanted to say that he passed on the national seal, but after thinking about it, he still concealed it, and the seventh uncle didn't know what they were talking about at all.
"What you said is reasonable..."Old Liu Tou also lit his cigarette, "In this way, Seventh Master, let's go to break the ghost gate formation first, and after the formation is broken, don't worry about moving back, we think we will meet this Zhao Kuncheng!" ”
"Hmmm! Good! Good! "Hearing that there are capable people who are willing to stand up for themselves, Uncle Seven is overjoyed, and he has also invited a head descender from Japan and Malaysia before, but there is nothing he can do about this Zhao Kuncheng, and now there is finally a rescuer." If you need anything, just tell me! As long as I Liao Qi comes out and sells me this old bone, I will..." As he spoke, Uncle Qi actually called Ah Guang over, "Quick, arrange two cars for the two of you!" ”
Zhang Guozhong was also stunned, how could this old man say that the wind is the rain...... "Seventh uncle... We don't drive..."
Lao Liu Tou made a list for Ah Guang, and Ah Guang went down to prepare, in Hong Kong, where Taoism is flourishing, it is much more convenient to prepare these materials than in the mainland.
As the saying goes, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Liao family is not as good as before, but the strength to get a ghost gate array is still there, basically, breaking the ghost gate array is a hard work, that is, you have to find a construction team to dismantle the stone strips that attract ghosts, the only place with technical content is to accurately find the location of the "ghost pile", and then pull it out and smash it OK.
Although it has been affirmed that the "ghost pile" is in the ancestral house, but such a large house is like looking for a needle in a haystack, this "ghost pile" may be a large stone pile as thick as a person, or it may be a jade carved chopsticks, or even a jade toothpick can be carved. It is basically impossible to find it during the day, so Zhang Guozhong's old Liu Tou is ready to act at night, at this moment Zhang Guozhong really regrets not bringing the compass handed down by Ma Zhenren, although the new plate bought by Ah Guang is the best that can be bought in Hong Kong, but for Zhang Guozhong, who is used to using the master's compass, it is also difficult to use to the extreme.
After midnight, Mr. Zhang Guo's old Liu Tou prepared a carpet search from east to west, room by house, and at this speed, he searched the entire villa for at least half a month.
That night, Zhang Guozhong was full of food and drink, and took the compass into a hut, this hut was black and hollow, as soon as he entered the house, he saw the needle of the compass and jumped up, "Damn, something is wrong again..." Zhang Guozhong just wanted to pull out the compass and wipe it and put it back, and suddenly felt that there was a figure in front of him, and it was gone in a flash.
"Who?" Zhang Guozhong quickly chased into the house...

Note (1): Ou Yezi, the swordsmith of the Yue Kingdom, is the most famous and mysterious swordsmith in ancient China, and there are countless legends about him in China.
Legend has it that he has cast five of the most famous swords in his life, three long swords, two short swords, according to legend, three long swords for "Zhan Lu", "Chunjun", "Juque", two short swords for "victory evil", "fish intestines", these five swords are killing weapons, especially the "fish intestine sword", because of the assassination of Wu Wang and famous (previously written as a thorn Qin, after being reminded by friends of Baidu Tieba has been corrected, thank you here). The folk idiom "three long and two short" comes from this allusion, which means that when you encounter any of these three long swords and two short swords, the person concerned should almost confess
But in fact, Ou Yezi cast countless famous swords in his life, such as the more famous "Longyuan", "Tai'a", "Gongbu", "Zidian", "Mo Xie" in ancient China, as well as the "Wentian" mentioned in this article and the Yue Wang sword unearthed in Jiangling, Hubei Province in 1965, according to legend, are all from Ou Yezi's hand. (Because the Tang Dynasty tabooed the word "Yuan", the "Longyuan" sword was renamed "Longquan" when it was passed to the Tang Dynasty, which is the famous Longquan sword in history.) According to legend, when Ou Yezi's son-in-law cast the sword, Ou Yezi's daughter Mo Ye jumped into the fire and turned into it, and it is also said that it was cast by Ou Yezi himself, and everyone has different opinions. )
