Oh, when he said that, I also think it is reasonable, when I went to the night market last night, he had been with Xiao Renya, far away from us, and I wouldn't know what they bought.

After some time, Liu Shangang said, "There is only one sun left." Brother Dao, you said that the last sun won't be gone, right? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Senior Brother Geng's voice from the front: "Break the formation!" ”

I immediately closed my eyes, and after a while, I heard Senior Brother Geng shouting, "Xian'er, close your eyes." ”

Xian'er let out a very unpleasant "tsk", and then probably closed her eyes as well, because I heard Senior Brother Geng's footsteps become more urgent.

Except for Senior Brother Geng's footsteps becoming more and more rapid, there was no other abnormality, the Qi field did not change, and the ground did not tremble as I imagined.

After about ten minutes, Senior Brother Geng's voice appeared in front of him again: "Open your eyes." ”

I slowly opened my eyes, and the courtyard in front of me had changed dramatically.

There was only one tree left in the four corners of the yard, except for the house in front of me, which was still the same as before, but the houses on the east and west sides had obviously changed, the doors and windows had become different, and there were no flower pots on the windowsill.

Before, it was an empty courtyard, except for four rooms and four trees, the center of the courtyard was empty, there was nothing. But now, there are a lot of clothes to dry in the courtyard month, and in a corner near the west room, there are also a lot of small objects made of wood, and there are even root carvings that have not been carved.

Senior Brother Geng walked up to me and pointed behind him: "Look behind you." ”

I turned my head to see that the room behind me was gone, as was the wall that had appeared before, and when I looked back, I could see the blue-black courtyard door.

But I remember that Senior Brother Geng had clearly entered that house just now and took some things from it, and I thought that only one of the four houses was real.

At this time, Senior Brother Geng pointed to the house on the east side again, and said to me with a smile: "Do you look at it familiarly?" ”

I looked towards the east wing, and realized that the wall I had seen earlier was the west wall of the east wing, and the doors, windows, curtains, and walls were all the same color.

I asked Senior Brother Geng, "Why hasn't Qiu Huahui come out yet?" ”

Senior Brother Geng carefully placed the incense burner-like thing on the ground, pointed to the room directly opposite and said to me, "He is there, you can go by yourself." ”

I nodded, took out the broken green steel sword from my bag, walked to the door, and gently knocked on the door with my hand.

After a few moments, the woman's voice sounded again: "Let the people who broke the formation come in." ”

Senior Brother Geng shouted right behind me, "If he hadn't found that tree, I wouldn't have been able to break your formation." Therefore, my senior brother is the one who breaks the formation. ”

The woman on the other side of the door was silent for a long time, but finally opened the door.

When I heard her voice before, I always thought that she should be between twenty and thirty years old, but now that she appears in person, I find out that she is also about ten years old.

But she didn't have the slightest childishness in her dress or the way she looked at me, and if it weren't for her height and face, I would probably really think of her as an adult.

She left the door completely open and said to me, "I am Qiu Huahui." ”

Before she said this, I always thought Qiu Huahui was a man.

I handed her the broken green steel sword: "Can it be repaired?" ”

She looked at me and frowned: "Who are you from Chai Zongyuan?" ”

I'm not surprised at all that she knows my master, when I was in the crypt, Du Kang said that the Qinggang sword was also interrupted in my master's hand once, and I expected that the person who helped my master forge the sword should also be the Qiu family.

I said to Qiu Huahui: "I am his disciple, and I have a way. ”

Qiu Huahui made a sudden look: "Ah, you are Zuo Youdao, I have heard of you." Belch...... Although I can repair your sword, it will take time, and the price of various materials is ......."

I waved my hand and interrupted her: "Money is not a problem, you can fix it with the best things, make sure it is fixed." ”

Qiu Huahui's strange face finally had a little smile: "Hehe, it is worthy of being a soul village, but it is rich." ”

Speaking of this, she paused, quickly put away the smile on her face, and said to me: "For the same price, do you want to repair it quickly or slowly?" ”

He felt that when she said this, she seemed to have a little bad intentions, and couldn't help frowning: "How to repair quickly, how to repair slowly?" ”

Qiu Huahui said: "Repair it quickly, it's going to perform a minor operation on this sword, but after repairing, your Qinggang sword will be shorter and lighter than now." With slow practice, I can make sure the sword doesn't get shorter or lighter, but it can also change unpredictably. Which do you choose? ”

I asked her, "Which one did my master choose back then?" ”

Qiu Huahui picked the corner of his mouth, and his expression seemed to be smiling and regretful.

Then I heard her say: "In that era, the Qiu family itself was difficult to protect, and the materials for slow cultivation were insufficient, so your master chose fast cultivation." You shouldn't know that the Qinggang sword in the early years was more than twice as heavy as it is now. ”

What she meant was that if I repaired it quickly, my bluesteel sword would be at least twice as light? Is that still a sword, doesn't it turn into a dagger?

I didn't have to think too much about this kind of thing, and just told her, "I choose to take it slowly." ”

Senior Brother Geng shouted at me from behind: "Yes, don't forget that the door is open in September of the solar calendar, and you still have to go to the town." Without the green steel sword, those old customers may not know what to say about you. ”

I responded first, "It doesn't matter, how much love can be discussed." After finishing, he said to Qiu Huahui: "I want to cultivate slowly." ”

Qiu Huahui nodded: "Well, you come with me, the sword is on the table." ”

I placed the two green steel swords on the table, and Qiu Huahui led me out of the room and walked towards the west wing.

As soon as she pushed open the door, there was a very strong smell of Chinese medicine wafting inside, and when I walked in, there were very high medicine cabinets standing on three walls, and there were old-fashioned medicine mills and a huge medicine mortar in the center of the room.

Qiu Huahui walked straight to the cabinet facing due west and took a briquette-like thing from each of the five medicine drawers. She came back to me and said one word to me: "Blood." ”

I didn't understand what she meant: "What? ”

Qiu Huahui: "Drop your blood on these stones." ”

As she spoke, she took a five- or six-inch nail out of her pocket and handed it to me.

I pricked my index finger with a sharp nail head, pinched my fingertips, and dripped a drop of blood on the five briquette-like things in turn.

Qiu Huahui used his fingers to evenly wipe the blood stains on each briquette, and then took out a magnifying glass to observe the blood stains very carefully.

After a while, she put the four briquettes back in the medicine cabinet, leaving only the smallest one.

Qiu Huahui looked at the briquette and frowned without saying a word.

When I talked to her just now, she hardly had any expression on her face except for the occasional movement, but now she frowned, and showed an extremely worried expression, which made me nervous too.

I feel that for Qiu Huahui, that little briquette seems to be a difficult thing to deal with.

If she can't handle this thing, can my Qinggang sword still be repaired?

After a long time, Qiu Huahui raised his head and said to me, "Your sword will probably be repaired in more than a month." ”

Hearing her say that, I breathed a long sigh of relief in my heart.

But then Qiu Huahui said: "However, when you get the Qinggang Sword again, you may not recognize it anymore." ”

I frowned, "Why?" ”

Qiu Huahui pointed to the briquettes on the palm of his hand and said to me: "To be honest, I have never used this seed you chose, and the Qiu family's record of it is very limited. So I'm not sure how using it to repair the Qinggang Sword will make the Qinggang Sword change. ”

What do she call "seeds"? But in my opinion, it is pure black briquettes.

I asked Qiu Huahui, "Can't you choose anything else?" ”

Qiu Huahui shook his head: "No." In fact, it is not you who choose the seed, but the seed who chooses you, and only the seed that coincides with your numerology can repair your Qinggang sword. ”

When she said the word "your", she deliberately accentuated her tone.

Then she asked me, "What numerology are you, yin or yang?" ”

I said, "Life brings Jingyang." ”

Qiu Huahui pointed to the top of my head: "But why is there yin and yang coiled on the top of your head?" ”

I said, "It's Tianyan, I opened it when I entered your Feng Shui Bureau just now." ”

Qiu Huahui nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder...... Are you born with these heavenly eyes? ”

I nodded, and said yes.

Receiving my answer, Qiu Huahui let out a long breath, as if something made her feel relieved.

She put the seeds in her pocket, and as she walked towards the north room, she said to me, "After the Qinggang Sword is repaired, I will personally deliver it to you." Pay for delivery, not a penny less. ”

As she spoke, she had already entered the room to the north, and the green steel sword was inside.

When she entered the house, I heard a soft "click" from the depths of the west wing, after which all the scenes in the whole courtyard were suddenly blurred, and when they became clear again, the houses on three sides became exactly the same as the west wing, and the sun in the sky became four again.

Qiu Huahui's voice came from the north house: "Let's go, in a few minutes, you won't be able to leave." ”

Senior Brother Geng hurriedly beckoned to me and motioned for me to leave with him.

When we arrived at the gate, the blue-black gate opened on its own, and when everyone was out, it closed on its own.

It wasn't until I was about to get in the car that I couldn't help but ask Senior Brother Geng: "How old is Qiu Huahui, she looks like she is eleven or twelve years old, but she looks like an adult." ”

Senior Brother Geng said: "I heard Senior Brother Zhuang say that Qiu Huahui is actually not a personal name, but a code name, and the head of the ninth house of the Qiu family in each generation is called by this name. And Qiu Huahui never shows his true face, and the Qiu Huahui just now may not be his real body. ”

Liu Shangang also echoed beside him: "Yes, when that person spoke just now, there were two times when the mouth shape and voice did not completely match, and I felt that she came out to pretend, and the person who made the voice was not her." ”

"Really?" I looked at Liu Shangang: "I didn't even see it when I was so close to her." ”

Liu Shangang smiled: "That's because I learned lip language from Lao Bao." Her mouth shape and voice at that time basically matched, only one or two words were wrong, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to notice. ”

When he spoke, Senior Brother Geng had already opened the car door and beckoned everyone to get into the car.

On the way back, I tried to get words out of Senior Brother Geng's mouth, hoping that he would tell me what kind of mission Senior Brother Zhuang summoned us to Beijing this time.
