Chapter 35: The Sword (12)
Suddenly, even Ganhuaxi also changed its former gentleness, and countless koi fish jumped up and down in the water like a dragon gate, happy and contented, but the next minute, it became dumb and depressed, causing Ganhuaxi to be like a temperamental baby for a while......
Dark clouds covered most of the sky before night came, and half of the sun's face reluctantly cast on the two gray-faced babies in front of the ruins of the Sword Pavilion.
The two of them stood quietly in the middle of the four elders, the two of them were not surprised by the uncommon weather, and they were not surprised by the sudden collapse of the Sword Pavilion except for the shocking glance of turning back.
The two of them are really a pair of living treasures, they were almost crushed to death, and they didn't look shocked everywhere.
Everyone's eyes focused on Shaoyi, and seeing that he was expressionless, they all discussed: "You say, did this kid get the sword from the Sword Pavilion?"
"I don't think I got it, he's a foreign baby, he can't even hunt, even if he goes to the Sword Pavilion, he has no skills to protect himself, so he can only return empty-handed. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I think it is too, it must have been rejected by the Sword Pavilion. ”
"Perhaps, what Shaoyi really got in the Sword Pavilion, you can see it, Shaoyi 'hit the incense ash with one hit' in the fourth level, that's not an ordinary idea......"
"And—"
"The Sword Pavilion has stood for two hundred years without falling, but when he went up and came out, he fell down all at once. It's all to blame on this unlucky seedling. Let's not get caught in his bad luck. ”
The villagers were still chattering and commenting...... You know, this is the latest gossip in our village.
......
"Phew-"
A crane roared over the Dayan River, and Shaoyi, Gugu, and all the villagers in the square looked in the direction of Gushan.
They knew that this was Elder Leng Ke, and it seemed that he felt that his mission had been completed.
After Leng Ke left, the wind was raging, and the gravel and sawdust were rolled up, like flying sand and stones, Tian Er Ye shouted loudly: "I'm afraid that the autumn thunder is coming, everyone really has to go home and collect clothes!"
It was only then that people reacted and began to chirp in groups, and it seemed that the argument was starting to escalate.
It turned out that someone came to this conclusion: "It was a wrong decision to let Shaoyi go to the Sword Pavilion, not only did he not complete the task, but also brought disaster to the village." No, the Sword Pavilion collapsed. ”
Brother Wang disagreed, and he tried his best to defend Shaoyi and Goo, arguing with the complainer.
Nanyan, who had been standing aside and not interjecting, looked at Shaoyi coldly with an arrogant and cynical expression. As a leader in the same age, Nanyan not only hopes that one less representative of these babies will have achievements, but also always has such a mixed taste in his heart, buried in his heart, unable to tell others.
Only Baili Xi was on the ground, completely unaffected by the people's arguments, he walked up to Shaoyi, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "How can you take a look at it?"
Dusting off the dust from his body, he slowly lifted the corner of his jacket, and around his waist, along with the makeshift sword holster containing silver fir wood, which hung from his waist was a leather pocket.
He untied his leather bag, reached in, and took out a small old wooden box, which was surrounded by several villagers who were curious.
Shaoyi held the bottom of the wooden box with one hand, and opened the lid of the wooden box with the other, and inside, the lining of the gold silk embroidered velvet turned into ashes as soon as the air was in the air, which showed that this box was indeed antique.
The "palm-slap-big" old wooden box was placed in Shaoyi's hand, and Shaoyi, like the people around him, looked into the box curiously.
Under the box, a small short sword lay with dust on it and a dull surface. It really makes people can't see the texture of this sword, and can only see that the green rusty sword body is scrawled with ancient characters like a dragon and a snake, revealing the chill of the forest.
"Hahaha—such a small sword can only be used as my ear pick, but it's quite suitable for you, one less!" said a naughty teenager with a sneer.
If it weren't for the fact that Shaoyi really passed four levels in a row and entered the Sword Pavilion, the bets made by the villagers would really have some possibility of winning, not only could they make a small profit, but they could also take a look at the only bet on Leng Ke Boss who would win this time and never showed a miserable loss. It's a pity.
The key is that there is no problem with losing a little money, how can you get such a clay sword from the Sword Pavilion? !
Everyone was bored, and they went back to their respective homes and went to find their own mothers.
......
Everyone dispersed, the Sword Pavilion was gone, and Elder Leng also flew, after a tiring day, he didn't get any praise, and Gu Gu couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Following Geng Ding, the two endured the raging wind and crossed the Ganhua River in the footsteps of the night......
That night, only a few empty thunderbolts were fired, and in the second half of the night, the hot weather turned slightly cooler.
Tian asked Second Master Tian, who was leaning against the door in a daze, "Dad, don't you go to the village chief's house tonight to celebrate Shaoyi's entry into the Sword Pavilion together?"
"I'm afraid there will be autumn thunder, and those few empty thunders just now are just a harbinger. The second master ignored his son's inquiry and said to himself.
"Then we have to arrange the rice guest quickly, and the young one has also reached the age of the scythe......" Tian said very seriously.
"Hey, what's the other arrangement? Don't you know that this village won't survive the spring of this year?" The more the second master said, the more it seemed that he was angry with himself.
Tian didn't understand his father's words, he only knew that his father was an astronomer in this village, and his predictions were always accurate.
Seeing that his father had left this sentence, he turned his back and leaned against the door with a dry pipe and thought about it with a serious face, and Tian Li no longer asked. He took the jar of rice wine alone and hurried to the village chief's house.
Before Tian Li crossed Ganhua Creek, he heard the bustling in the village chief's courtyard, and when he entered the gate, he saw that the village chief's courtyard was full of people. Almost every household in the village has arrived, and they have presented the best food in the family for aging, for this great joy of "entering the Sword Pavilion" that has not been encountered for 12 years.
When I entered the hall, I saw Geng Ding holding the wine jar, and he was drunk today.
In the kitchen, the steamed river crabs have been cooked, and the aroma fills the entire courtyard.
Geng Ding took the wine, ignoring the people in the courtyard, he staggered to the deer head, kowtowed, kowtowed......
Shaoyi was afraid that the village chief would drink too much, so he didn't give the last half of the jar of wine to the village chief, but he didn't forget to pour wine for Brother Tian and Brother Wang from time to time.
At this time, the wine in the bowl had already been sprinkled in front of the deer's head, and Geng Ding, who had finished the big ceremony and explained the secret to the deer, kept pouring wine and pouring wine into his mouth with an empty jar......
When the crowd dispersed, it was already midnight. Next to the incense table in front of the deer's head, Geng Ding was already asleep.
Looking at the deer's bright eyes, he consciously touched the inconspicuous sword through the leather bag.
He didn't understand the dragon snake pen on it, but, for some reason, he could tell the name and origin of the sword. Is it because it takes no effort to get it, or is it never a mess?
Instead of being happy to get the sword, Shaoyi felt more and more: as he grew older, he found that he was just living in an unknown world.
No one wants you to be a particularly clear, sober person. In this world, you don't know who you are and who your mother is...... It took a long time for me to work hard, but I still don't know why I entered this Sword Pavilion......
This sword is good, Shaoyi took out the whetstone, and he said, "Let's use you as a dagger for removing lamb shanks." ”
The small sword "Ridge-" flashed out, and the rust on the sword fell off on its own like snake skin, as if it was a feeling, echoing the whisper of the young one to himself just now.
Under the flash, the sword was illuminated by its own light, and the words engraved on the sword body were revealed, and the outline was powerful, but intermittent...... Goo didn't know when she had already come over, her nose was almost on the sword, and she stumbled to read out the snake line: "Shao-less, ah, it's less-Kang-".
That's right!"When Shaokang shines, the world is white." This is the legendary Excalibur.
