Chapter 85: Neither is visible
I also wondered a little, since Master Xing had used spells to erase the memories of all the Hu people he knew, how could he let this unattractive beggar remember himself? Could it be that Old Master Xing was negligent for a while and didn't take him seriously at all?
Although the beggar was thin, he walked like a fly, and slowly we walked out of Tie Anchor Street and walked towards Biluo Mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.
There are many poplar trees growing on Biluo Mountain, and the leaves of the trees are rustling, covering the barren mountain.
Li Qitang asked, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, why is the place where Old Master Xing lives so remote, but Your Excellency is familiar with the road and knows it well?" ”
The beggar only pretended not to hear, but kept digging his ears, pointed to a loess hole in the mountain, and said, "What you are looking for is inside." Saying that, Shi Shiran went down the mountain and left.
"Eh......" I widened my eyes: "What is the origin of this beggar, and why is it so strange?" ”
Li Qitang said: "I also think that this beggar seems to have led us over, with ulterior motives, just be careful, but Miss Mei can rest assured, I will definitely protect Miss Mei in the future." With that, he cautiously led me into the hole.
Although the outside of the cave is very deserted, the inside of the cave is arranged magnificently, a style of the Western Regions, I see that the cave is long and narrow, I don't know where there is some daylight, there are Persian tapestries hanging on the walls inside, the ground is covered with long felt, stepping on it is soft and soft without a little footsteps, the furnishings are all strange-shaped bronze vessels, all I have never seen before, I don't know what to do with the things at all.
Further inside, I heard the sound of gurgling water, mixed with the sound of people talking. Ahh
Li Qitang hurriedly took me inside, and was about to raise his voice to call the old Master Xing, but a woman walked out weakly.
I took a closer look, and the woman was not someone else, but a stunning beauty from the plum bottle!
As soon as the beautiful woman saw us, she also recognized us, her eyes widened in astonishment, and then, as if she had reacted to something, before we could open her mouth, she dragged us into a staggered hole, and whispered, "I know you...... Are you from the Xu family of Baodezhai? ”
Li Qitang nodded: "It's a help for their family, but I can't hide it, this time it's for the girl." ”
The woman came closer, Fang found that the figure was light, not like ordinary human beings, very ethereal, the woman heard it, and hurriedly said: "The son said that he could help the concubine, but is it true?" ”
Li Qitang hurriedly said: "Naturally, take it seriously, dare to ask Miss what difficulties there are, why is it involved with that old Master Xing?" ”
The woman sighed, with a look of tears: "The prince didn't know, the concubine body, the concubine body was actually taken captive by the Hu Ren mage, and it was not easy to escape from him, and the Xu Mansion that he went to, but the concubine was useless, and he never found what he was looking for, so he delayed the opportunity, and found out to him again, and he was arrested......"
When Li Qitang heard this, he hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Miss is looking for when she goes to Xu Mansion?" Why did you take away the old account books of the Xu family? ”
The woman lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that the people inside would hear it, and said softly: "The concubine went to the Xu Mansion this time, and accidentally disturbed the son of the Xu family, and she was very uneasy in her heart, but the concubine really wanted to find the other half of the concubine." "Dao Wen Tianli
"The other half?" I looked at Li Qitang suspiciously: "What does this mean?" ”
"......I see," Li Qitang said thoughtfully: "This plum bottle, since ancient times, are pairs of things, no coincidence, originally placed on both sides, that day in the next plum bottle only one, do not doubt that there is him, only when the other does not know how to destroy, only one alone, I don't want to lose it......"
"Exactly, this boy is right!" The woman lowered her head and said complainingly: "I and the other plum vase, the same clay tire was molded, the same craftsman depicted, and the same time entered the kiln, it was a pair, but now I am the only one left......
"Oh? In that case, when did the plum vase of the young lady and the young lady get separated from the young lady? Li Qitang asked.
"I can't remember ...... for sure," the woman wrung the corners of her clothes and said, "We were originally in the hands of a master, favored by the master, as a family heirloom, standing in an ancestral hall for many years. ”
Li Qitang nodded: "Sure enough, it is an old object that supports the master's mood, and it is a long-lived soul." ”
The woman smiled bitterly: "Although there is aura, but the master's family is gradually declining, and the old things are divided into many less, and our pair of plum bottles, as the few valuable items left, will be regarded as the only remaining treasures for the descendants, and they have started to sell them." "The Queen of the Reverse Dimension
"But the plum bottle has always been sold at a price before the other party is sold in pairs, and the sale of a single one is greatly discounted, your master, will not be so confused and make a loss-making deal, right?" Li Qitang is not only a miracle of scientific research and a genius of catching demons, but when it comes to the antique business, he actually knows that the head is the first to say: "The price of a single one is less than half of the half of the pair." Plus it's such a treasure, it's a tyrannical thing! ”
"Yes...... My sister and I thought the same way, even if we were sold to the master in an emergency, we must be together, since the sale of us is a life-saving event, we are naturally happy to be able to exchange the last reward for the master, just like that, we are in good condition, easily sold for a good price, and entered the door of the new master, but this is the beginning of the trouble......" The woman said, and pulled up the sleeve of the light veil, and wiped away her tears.
I hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the new master is illiterate, and the well doesn't cherish the plum bottle sisters of Miss?" ”
"It's not a ......," the woman whimpered softly, "It was the master of our two sisters, and there was an accident in the house, and the thief was not familiar with it, but a little thief, who made a noise and found out to the new master's family, but the thief was in a hurry, and between the black lights and the fire, and everyone shouted and beaten, the thief did not go away, and touched my sister easily." ”
"What a pity!" Unconsciously, even I lamented that the unparalleled plum bottle was dismantled: "There are still such foolish thieves in the world!" Really teach people to beat their chests and feet! ”
The woman saw that I was so fond of me, that she seemed to have a good impression of me, and she burst into tears and smiled: "Thank you for your appreciation, and I thank her for my sister's kindness." ”
