Section 14 There is no cave
As soon as Yi Chu saw the crane-haired farmer, he was slightly startled, only to see the old man's white eyebrows and beard, and his beard caressing his chest. Although he was wearing a coarse robe and cloth, he still couldn't hide the uninhibited and uninhibited meaning of scattering immortals.
On the way here, I heard Ji Ziyu talk about the sword competition between Wu Zhiqi and Peng Zu, and I was amazed. I thought that Wu Zhiqi Ding was a withdrawn person. Unexpectedly, when I saw the real person, I saw him dressed as a farmer and behave calmly, and I felt very cordial in my heart.
Jingtai was born noble, since the small stars and the moon, he was used to others, and at this time, he saw that the other party was a vulgar old man, and his face showed contempt, and said: "Jingtai of Chu State, I came to pay homage to the master of the witch cave on the order of my father Jingyuan. When he said the words "father Jingyuan", he obviously raised his voice and was quite proud.
Wu Zhiqi smiled slightly: "This is really a distinguished guest, please go to the cave quickly." Ji Ziyu was robbed of white by the little boy, and he was annoyed, and at this moment he heard that Wu Zhiqi actually regarded the thief of Chu as a guest, and he was so angry that he forgot all the words, and he relied on the ground to stay in place.
On the contrary, Jingtai's face was pale, and under the guidance of Xiao Tong, he went to the cave with his hands, and when he passed by Xiao Yi's side, he snorted disdainfully, and was complacent. Xiao Yi saw that he was going to eat the closed door, and hurriedly said: "Wu senior, I'll wait"
"The two little brothers are coming from afar, why don't you go to Shedong for a cup of tea?" Wu Zhiqi interrupted Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi came here to borrow the water avoidance sword, so there was a lot of humility in his demeanor, but he looked at his dealings with Chu thieves, and he had doubts, and when he heard that he took the initiative to invite, he was overjoyed, and secretly thought: Sister Yao Ji is still waiting for me to save her, no matter what, I have to borrow the water avoidance sword in my hand. Hurriedly thanked at the moment: "Thank you for the invitation, then I will bother." ”
As soon as you enter the hole, it is as narrow as a bucket, and the cold is pressing. A narrow staircase spiraled down, when everyone walked for a short time, they heard the sound of water droplets tinking in their ears, and their eyes lit up, and they came to a grand cave. There are no thousands of postures, colorful stone bells and stalagmites are densely covered with the top of the cave and the bottom of the cave.
As far as the eye can see, it looks like a coral and is as bright as a pearl. A white jade bridge crosses the cave, connecting the ear chamber, and everyone walks on it, with a measurement in their hearts, and they are not worried about falling under the bridge.
As for the ear room, it is no different from the ordinary hall, the only strange thing is that five ginkgo trees are planted on both sides of the hall, which are strong and straight, and the crown is like a big cover, but they somehow survive in the ground. Wu Zhiqi invited everyone to sit down one by one, and the little boy served tea and accompanied each other.
After a while, Wu Zhiqi changed into civilian clothes, came around from the back room, and said loudly: "Distinguished guests, there are many slackness, and you still look at Haihan." ”
After everyone greeted in unison, Zheng Jiancheng took a sip of tea, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Wudong, the head of my family has heard of the magic of Hongze Cave Mansion for a long time, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today." This remark does not show the master, but praises the cave house, which is faintly threatening.
Wu Zhiqi smiled slightly: "It's just a humble room, how can you worry about it, if you want to say that it is magical, it can't be compared with Daxu Cangwu Mountain." "Cangwu Mountain was originally a famous mountain in Cangwu County of Xu State, ten years ago Xu State was defeated and ceded to Chu State, and the King of Chu changed its name to Jiuzhi Mountain. I really secretly returned the blow.
Jing Tai didn't understand the meaning of the two of them, and said impatiently: "Wu senior, the Ming people don't say secret words, I came here on the order of my father, just to borrow the water avoidance sword." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yi and Ji Ziyu were shocked, and Ji Ziyu was the first to wake up, and secretly transmitted Xiao Yi's words: "The Chu thief must want to break the sea and sky danger in Donghai City by borrowing the water avoidance sword, and we can't let them succeed no matter what." ”
At the moment, he said loudly: "Wait, the old Wu seniors have already decided to lend the water avoidance sword to our two brothers, and there is always one who comes first and then comes." “
This time Wu Zhiqi was slightly surprised, in fact, Jingtai and Zheng Jiancheng's intentions had already guessed seven or eight points. Because he never participated in the dispute of state affairs, he was able to protect the people of Hongzehu from the pain of the war, but it was absolutely impossible to let himself help Chu to abuse. Helpless, people are swords, I am fish and meat, and it is really difficult to choose between the water avoidance sword and the lives of the people, at this time, I listened to Ji Ziyu's interjections, and I came from the heart: The last time I saw these two young men at the foot of the mountain, they were chivalrous and courageous people, and it must be no harm in getting the water avoidance sword, so let them send these two Chu thieves first.
Wu Zhiqi groaned slightly, so he said with a difficult look: "Nephew Jingxian, this brother is a friend of my deceased, and he repaired the book a few days ago to borrow my water avoidance sword, uh, you can see if you can let him borrow it first, and I will lend it to you when I return it." ”
Jingtai had already suffered a secret loss on the shore of Hongze Lake, and when he saw that it was a bad thing for the two of them, he was furious and wanted to attack. But he heard Zheng Jiancheng cough a few times, and said unhurriedly: "If the two brothers are willing to cut their love, my master will definitely have a heavy reward." ”
Xiao Yi listened to it for a long time, and he already knew in his heart that since the old witch wanted to use himself to send them away, he simply made the scene more chaotic, and said with a smile: "You wait for the reward of the evil dog, don't do it." ”
Zheng Jiancheng suddenly pushed the case up, and shouted angrily: "You wait for the thief, I will take your dog's life!" He has been calm and calm, and he has been quiet, but at this moment, he suddenly became angry, and even Jingtai was shocked.
Zheng Jiancheng left his seat, bowed to Wu Zhiqi, and said apologetically: "Under the anger of the next, there are many rudenesses, and please don't blame the master of the witch cave, but these two thieves are misbehaving at the foot of the mountain, plotting against the young master of my family, and now it is time to settle the grievances, and the master of the witch cave must not interfere." ”
Wu Zhiqi sneered in his heart, I was at the scene at that time, and I couldn't understand what was right and wrong, but he didn't break it, holding the long beard on his chest, and said with a slight smile: "Brother Jiancheng doesn't need to move, I have a strategy, I can decide who to lend the water avoidance sword first." ”
Zheng Jiancheng turned back to the banquet and said solemnly: "The Lord of the Witch Cave has a good plan, and he also asks for instructions. ”
Wu Zhiqi said: "I am a lonely and vulgar person, and I occasionally have to avoid the water sword, so I can win a false name, today the two distinguished guests borrow each other, and I feel honored, but between the trade-offs, it is difficult for me." Why don't I come up with three questions, compare the two sides, and the winner should borrow the water avoidance sword first. ”
Jingtai clapped his hands and shouted: "Second, second." "Although I know that Ji Ziyu's true qi is not weak, Xiao Yi next to him is an ordinary person, and with the power of Uncle Ming, the water avoidance sword is not yet captured.
Ji Ziyu was slightly stunned, but he expected that the master of the witch cave was already partial, and he would not be able to suffer a loss in this competition, and he also said that it was good at the moment.
Wu Zhiqi already had a certain number in his heart, so he decided to come up with three topics that made Xiao Yi win, but it was not good to be too partial, and he pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone is here for the water avoidance sword today, then the first topic is to avoid the water sword, the world knows the water avoidance sword, but I don't know the water avoidance decision, if there is no mouth for coal, the sword is also inactive, now I will give you the formula, if anyone can take the lead in comprehending one or two, then this game will be considered who wins." ”
After listening to Jingtai's uncle and nephew, they wanted to say that Wu Zhiqi was intentionally biased, but he was just a test of his understanding, but he couldn't say what was unfair, and Wu Zhiqi was a grandmaster, and it was indeed a great learning opportunity to show his unique knowledge to the public at this moment. I thought to myself: If you talk about understanding, you will never lose to two poor sour boys.
