Chapter 15: Ling Bing's Weapons Shop
Spring is in full swing, and the shadow looks at the flowers and plants all over the yard, and the mood is relieved for no reason.
Since she moved to live leisurely, no one in Huafu dares to provoke her easily, and the people in the mansion are not stupid, although they don't understand the cause and effect, but they know one thing, that is, the eldest lady is favored.
The subordinates who had bullied the shadow ghost were too late to hide, and where did they dare to appear in front of her.
It was early afternoon, and Shadow Charm and Qiu'er had a meal, so they sent the maid out of the house.
Walking to the dresser made of pear wood, Shadow opened the wooden box, took out the golden hairpin that Hua Junyang had given her, put it in her hand, and reversed the weight: "The fineness is good, twenty grams of pure gold, it should be a good price." ”
"Qiu'er, pen and ink." Shadow closed the wooden box, Jade held the golden hairpin in her hand, and walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down.
"Yes, Miss." Without asking too much, Qiu'er spread the rice paper in front of the shadow ghost, turned over the inkstone, took the small bottle with rain and dew on the table, opened the cork, slightly oblique the mouth of the bottle, and the crystal clear dew rolled out, dripping on the slightly dry ink.
Shadow Phantom picked up the thin brush on the pen stand, stained it with ink, and sketched on the rice paper.
Frowning slightly, the shadow is really not used to the soft brush with the tip of the pen, the pen is light and the lines are shallow and not smooth, a little force, it will be smudged into a lump, she still practiced for a long time, in order to control the strength.
Qiu'er was grinding, and at the same time peeping sideways at the painting under the shadow ghost's pen, well, it should be a painting that is right, at least Qiu'er thinks so.
Lazily stretched out his jade arm, Shadow looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction, and raised his slightly stiff neck: "Qiu'er, do you know where the most famous weapon shop in Kyoto is." ”
Qiu'er frowned, trying her best to think about the name of the shop she had heard from other subordinates before, and patted her head with a sudden realization: "Qiu'er knows that it is the Lingbing weapon shop in the west of the city." ”
Ling Bing? Good name.
Walking in front of the bronze mirror, the shadow ghost painted on his face, and within a moment, a handsome boy with clear water chestnut angles appeared in front of Qiu'er.
"Wow, miss." Qiu'er's eyes opened in surprise, like a deer, jumped to the side of the shadow ghost, and looked back and forth several times, if it wasn't for what she saw with her own eyes, she couldn't believe that one person could become another person so lightly.
"Miss, you're so good." Qiu'er exclaimed exaggeratedly, but she deliberately lowered her voice, she also knew that none of the maids outside were loyal.
"You!" Shadow Charm nodded Qiu'er's forehead, looked at the face reflected in the bronze mirror, and shook her head, as if she had returned to the time when she went on a mission in her previous life, remembering that every time, she was so disguised.
Shaking her head mockingly, Shadow Phantom dispelled the images that came out of her head, reaching out to touch her changed face, Shadow Phantom could confidently say that no one could see through her disguise.
"Qiu'er, I'll go out, you stay in the house." The Dark Charm stood up, took out a women's dress from the cabinet, and changed the long skirt she was wearing.
"Remember, if someone comes, you say you don't know where I've gone." Qiu'er, who was carefully advised by the shadow ghost, then deftly resembled a cat, and disappeared quickly in the middle of the house while no one was paying attention outside the house.
Sneaking out of the Flower Mansion, Shadow Charm first went to the ready-to-wear shop, changed into a not too gorgeous long shirt, and then walked comfortably in the street market of Kyoto.
The busy streets are bustling with activity, and the cries of selling are higher and higher, but it is a prosperous scene.
Take a look around, it took half a pillar of incense for an hour, the shadow ghost walked to the west of the city, to say that although the west of the city is not a prosperous place, but it is a gathering place for weapons, pharmacies, and restaurants, it can be called a mixture of fish and dragons, and people who are generally new to Kyoto have settled in the west of the city.
The Shadow Phantom walked on the streets west of the city, carefully observing everyone on the street, and said that it was true to look at their hearts and faces.
Along the way, there are a lot of people in the west of the city with a killing aura, one person in ten steps, one evil in a hundred steps, no wonder the weapon shop of Ling Bing will be opened here.
It's just that the shadow is puzzled, why the soldiers defending the city would let these people into Beijing.
Looking up at the weapon shop in front of him, Shadow Ghost raised her eyebrows in dismay, this is the most famous Ling Bing weapon shop in Kyoto? It's too dilapidated before it is destroyed, and it really has to fight with the yard where she lived before.
Walk into the weapons shop and walk through the dilapidated hallway, but the layout inside is a sight to behold.
Merlin Bagua Array?
Shadow Phantom looked at the fragrant Merlin in front of him, and smiled playfully at the corner of his mouth, saying that Mei had to bloom in winter, but he didn't expect it to bloom so delicately this spring.
The Bagua Array is a more subtle formation derived from the Tai Chi image. There is a saying that goes like this: "Taiji gives birth to two yi, two yi gives birth to four elephants, and four elephants give birth to gossip." ”
And the Merlin Bagua Array is a formation that is cast through the plum tree.
In fact, this gossip array seems to be changeable and difficult to decipher, but in fact, as long as you understand the specific meaning of the expression of the ten heavenly stems, you can easily solve it.
A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, WANG, DEC.
A is the chief, and the marshal; B, C, and D are three odds; E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Non, and De are called Liuyi.
The change of the formation is nothing more than the transformation of the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches to multiply and multiply.
As soon as the shadow ghost stepped into the plum forest, the plum tree in the distance changed its direction according to the pace of the shadow ghost, and the game between the two parties was like a chess game, and the situation was different depending on the direction.
Five steps forward, half a step back, ten steps to the left, one step to the right, the shadow didn't seem to go far, but the body appeared in the center of Merlin.
Shadow Phantom looked at the small pavilion stone bench that appeared in the Merlin, the corners of his mouth hooked into a small smile, and walked into the pavilion, Shadow Phantom sat leisurely, staring at the broken chess game on the table with blazing eyes.
In the middle of the ring, Shadow Ghost's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his slender fingers to grasp the white chess, and steadily placed it into the white chess piece surrounded by black chess.
The chess pieces hit the ground, Merlin roared, and a quiet path appeared in front of the shadow ghost.
"Wonderful, wonderful." The Shadow Charm admired and walked into the path.
As the shadow disappeared, Merlin regained his original appearance once again.
At the end of the path, the five words of Ling Bing's weapon shop are engraved on the pear wood plaque, and the font with gold edge is sprinkled, revealing the edge of a sharp blade in the unruly.
Flower Shadow Charm's heart was shocked, her eyes staring at the closed door in front of her, she stepped forward, clasped the knocker with her hand, and gently tapped on the wooden door.
With a "crunch", the door opened from the inside, and the gray-bearded old man appeared in front of the flower shadow.
The old man just glanced at her lightly, then turned around and walked into the house by himself, not caring about the flower shadow at all.
Flower Shadow touched her nose and walked in after her.
