People say that as long as you are white and have no wrinkles on your face, you will not look old. I don't know why, I have very white skin and no wrinkles, but I always give people the feeling of a rough man.

On the second floor of the hotel, a middle-aged man in his forties came over, he held a very long duffel bag in his hand, and walked up to me silently, I thought he was also one of the customers this time, but I didn't expect him to stop beside me and whisper to me: "I am Qiu Huahui." ”

I also stopped and looked at him in a daze.

When I first heard the name "Qiu Huahui", I thought Qiu Huahui was a man, but later I saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl in the courtyard.

So from that time on, I thought Qiu Huahui was a woman in her twenties.

Now, this middle-aged man with a gentle face said in a deep voice that he was Qiu Huahui. It was hard for me to get used to it for a while.

Seeing that I had not spoken for a long time, he added, "I am the deity." ”

I forced the discomfort in my heart and smiled at him: "I finally saw the deity, it's not what I imagined." ”

He didn't go on on the topic and asked me directly, "Did you bring any money?" ”

I said, "With the card, I can send you money." ”

Qiu Huahui nodded: "I brought a pos machine." ”

Later, he quoted me the price. He said the price was fair, but I felt like he was hacking me, the price was so high that I had to empty almost all the numbers on my bank card to pay it off.

Seeing that I hadn't replied, he said simply, "Don't bargain." ”

I hesitated, but then glanced at the duffel bag in his hand and finally sighed. For the sake of the Qinggang Sword, I can only admit it.

Qiu Huahui took us to the room near the corridor building, he put the travel bag on the bed, took out the POS machine, and said to me, "You can take a look at things first." ”

I put my card on the table and unzipped my travel bag.

I finally saw the Qinggang Sword that I had been waiting for for more than a month, and I knew that the sword lying in my travel bag was the Qinggang Sword, but it was not what it used to be.

The current green steel sword has reached a length of more than a meter, and the scabbard and hilt are crawling with black roots, which are twisted together like iron hoops, spreading in a streamlined pattern along the scabbard and hilt.

The Qinggang Sword still has a very heavy Yang Qi, but in the past, this Yang Qi was as silent as a calm lake, but now the Qi field on the Qinggang Sword is constantly circulating, I opened the eyes of the sky, and I saw that the silky wisps of Yang Qi were flowing around the Qinggang Sword.

Qiu Huahui said next to him: "You can try its portion." ”

I picked up the green steel sword, and sure enough, I found that it was much heavier than before, and it was almost impossible for me to swing it with just one hand.

Taking off the scabbard, the flat blade glows with a layer of shiny soft light under the light, just from the appearance, the blade of the green steel sword is only wider and longer than before, but there is an extra fire on it that has never been seen before, I think, it seems to have become younger and more aggressive than before.

What worries me the most is the broken part of the green steel sword, I carefully looked at the sword body, but I found no crack at all, the traces of the previous break have completely disappeared, as if it was never broken.

Qiu Huahui said to me: "Now the form of the Qinggang Sword is the most suitable for you. Because the seed you have chosen has absorbed your blood. ”

I was curious: "How the hell did you repair the Qinggang Sword?" Not a crack at all? ”

Qiu Huahui still explained expressionlessly: "It's not repairing, it's growing." The seed you choose activates it and allows it to heal its wounds on its own. And the reason why it has become like this is because of your blood, your character. Although the changes are relatively large, the changes are generally conservative, and I originally thought that this sword would become an axe or something. But it's still a sword. This shows that you are still more conformist in your bones. ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Huahui paused slightly, and then added: "But your blood can establish new rules for it and change its Qi field, which is beyond my expectations. Well, the sword is also seen, so pay for it. ”

In the end, it came to "money". It seems that Qiu Huahui is still a businessman in essence.

I paid his price, and he put away the pos machine satisfied, and then left without even saying hello.

I watched his back disappear from the doorway, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the ghost market is about to open, and new money will come in soon, otherwise, in the next period of time, the soul village may have to drink the northwest wind.

However, even if the black copper gossip seal I picked can be sold for a good price, it can only barely be enough to last for half a year, and the rest of the money will depend on the other industries of the Soul Village and the corpse coffin business I operate.

After five or six minutes, Senior Brother Geng probably felt that Qiu Huahui had gone away, so he came to me and asked, "Is this still a Qinggang sword?" ”

"Of course." I nodded, and with some difficulty, I picked up the Qinggang sword and swung it twice, because I was not used to the length of the Qinggang sword, I accidentally let the blade touch the TV cabinet when swinging the sword.

I barely felt any resistance, but the mahogany TV bench had a corner cut off and the ports were very flat.

Senior Brother Geng looked at the missing piece of the TV cabinet and smacked his tongue: "The Qinggang sword seems to be sharper than before." ”

I cautiously touched the blade of the green steel sword with my fingers: "It's indeed sharper than before. ”

What I didn't expect was that when my fingers touched the green steel sword, the originally sharp blade became smooth in an instant, and it felt as if it had never been bladed.

In fact, I knew very early that the Qinggang Sword was a living thing, and even the ancient books in the Library Pavilion said that the Qinggang Sword could be regarded as an ebony essence and had its own consciousness.

But now, it actually responded to me, which surprised me infinitely.

Senior Brother Geng also seemed to be full of interest in the recast green steel sword, and he leaned next to me and asked me, "Look at how heavy this sword is now, look at how heavy your sword is now." ”

I said, "I don't know, it's about twice as heavy." Looks like I'm going to have to work a bit hard to get used to its weight. ”

After that, I studied the green steel sword again, and unexpectedly found that the roots on the hilt and scabbard can also move, if the person holding the green steel sword is not me, the scabbard and the roots on the hilt will be entangled, Senior Brother Geng tried to pull out the sword body, but the material of those roots seems to be the same as the green steel sword, extremely hard, and the toughness is very strong, Senior Brother Geng can't pull it out with all his strength.

When Senior Brother Geng carefully touched the blade of the sword, the place he touched also became very round, and the green steel sword seemed to know that Senior Brother Geng was not the master, but he was not an enemy either.

For the self-consciousness of the Qinggang Sword, Senior Brother Geng was also amazed.

I gradually realized that Qiu Huahui did not lie to me, and the price he gave was indeed fair. I couldn't have imagined that he could make the Qinggang Sword like this.

Even on the way back to Jisoul Village, I still can't get enough of the new Qinggang sword.

Huang Changrong sent a new strange goods, Qiu Huahui sent back the Qinggang sword, we arranged the ghost market that night, and the rest was to wait for the ghost market to open.

On September 14, 2008, the ghost market, which had been postponed for a month, finally opened during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.

At five o'clock in the morning, I came to the bridgehead of the Broken Soul Bridge, waiting for the patrons who came with soul tickets.

In the past, I heard my master say that the reason why the suspension bridge behind me is called the Broken Soul Bridge is actually an allusion. But because of the age, the disciples of Jisoul Village have forgotten the specific content of that allusion, and only remember that it is related to our first ancestor.

The years go by, although the past generations of Jisoulzhuang have written a piece of history in the book, but some things will eventually fade away in the long river of years.

Under the Bridge of Broken Souls, there was still the same dry river, and everything was the same as when I first came.

The only thing that has changed is the person who guards the bridge, who used to be my master, and now, has become me. I guess that's a kind of inheritance.

At half past five, the first patron appeared at the bridgehead, and I shouted to the visitor awkwardly, "Who is coming?" ”

Then the patron took out the soul ticket, and I verified his identity and led him to the Soul Breaker Bridge.

On the first day of the ghost market, I had to stay here all the time, leading customers to the bridge. Most of them came to buy things, but there were also merchants who came into the market to set up shop, and of all the merchants, Di Baoquan was the most eye-catching.

He's not the only one in the corpse business, but he brings in more than one corpse every year. He would come to the Broken Soul Bridge at eight o'clock in the morning on the day the ghost market opened, and during the time period between half past seven and half past eight, no other customers would come here.

The reason is very simple, it is because the things brought by Di Baoquan are too evil, and his reputation for Di Baoquan is known to everyone in the industry. Everyone is worried that if they go with him, and the evil corpse he brings with him will go wrong sooner or later, the people around him will suffer if they don't get it right.

It is precisely for this reason that I have the opportunity to have a separate contact with Di Baoquan.

This time he came to the bridge with three black zombies and a bronze armored corpse, and I could feel that the bronze armored corpse was not normal from a long distance, and it carried a very heavy bad luck on it, but the evil qi was not so heavy.

I called, "Who's coming?" ”

Di Baoquan responded: "It's me, Di Baoquan." He said as he took out the soul ticket.

There was definitely no problem with his ticket, but I still looked at it carefully, and carefully checked the Qi field on Di Bao's body, and there was nothing abnormal.

Then I asked him, "Was that bronze armor corpse specially prepared?" ”

Di Baoquan grinned: "Yes, when the door is open, I will let it come out to move." Hehe, this bronze armored corpse can be regarded as a legacy of our corpse keepers. When we first refined it, we had a business trip and let some dirty things into its body, and we didn't know what to do with it for many years, so we planned to take this opportunity...... Hey. ”

I looked at the bronze armored corpse behind him again, and it didn't seem to be easy to deal with with the steel and iron bones and the evil in his body.

It seems that Di Baoquan doesn't believe in my strength, and wants to use this armored corpse to test my Taoism.

Hehe, Di Da is sloppy, his mind is not sloppy at all.

I smiled and led him up to the Broken Soul Bridge.
