Chapter 382 - Buguang Ancient Sword
Looking at the signboard of "Tonggu Xuan", Gu Xiao silently recited it several times, and always felt that it was indescribably strange, although there was nothing strange about the selection of the antiquities store in a secluded place, but the place chosen by Tonggu Xuan was too secluded, so secluded that if it was not a regular customer, no one would be able to take the initiative to find here.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiao looked back at the road again, the street was terrifyingly quiet, there was no trace of pedestrians, and the sunlight shining on the street was even more desolate, which made people feel emotional.
But at this uninhabited street, there was an inconspicuous shadow that appeared at the corner of the street, only for a moment when Gu Xiao looked back, the shadow on the ground retreated, and Gu Xiao looked at it really.
Immediately, Gu Xiao frowned and looked back, and said secretly in his heart: "Since I have sent this captain to spy on me, why are there still people secretly watching."
Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but look at the Wu Chang who had brought him here, and at this moment he was constantly banging on the door of Tonggu Xuan's shop.
"Shopkeeper, open the door quickly, open the door quickly!"
"If it was Yu Lie's manpower, who had already planted eyeliner around me, he wouldn't have done it again... Who will it be? This person's stalking skills are not weak, let me follow me all the way, if it is not a coincidence, I don't even notice it." Gu Xiao thought secretly in his heart, but after thinking about it for a while, he still had no clue, and when he wanted to think again, he was interrupted by the sound of Tong Gu Xuan opening the door.
"Who, the city is also sealed, where is there any business!" The person who opened the door was extremely impatient, but when the door of the store was opened, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted and put on a smiling face.
"It turned out to be the military master, and he was disappointed, why didn't the military master come in advance, so that the villain could prepare carefully." The shopkeeper who opened the door was dressed in a wide robe, and his eyes swept over the two people in front of him.
When his gaze swept over the two of them, and when he landed on a person standing on the street, the cold light in his eyes flashed away, and he was the nearest Wu Chang, and he didn't see it...
But Gu Xiao has already had the habit of staying vigilant after experiencing these many crises, and the strangeness in the eyes of the shopkeeper was keenly captured by Gu Xiao.
Looking back at the street again, the figure on the ground had long since disappeared, retracting his gaze, Gu Xiao secretly said in his heart: "This shopkeeper's eyes are not like ordinary people for a moment, could it be that the person who is following him behind him is related to him?"
Wu Chang seemed to be dissatisfied with the shopkeeper opening so late, and when he looked back, he saw that Gu Xiao was silent, and said that the distinguished guest was dissatisfied, his brows were slightly raised, and he immediately spoke: "Grinding, if it weren't for the fact that I remembered my family, General Yu, who had bought a satisfactory thing in your Tonggu Xuan, how could I think of your remote shop."
Seeing this, the shopkeeper was busy bowing down and apologized: "The military master really misunderstood the villain, our antiquities business, the business in Japan is sparse, and after the Yanbei City is sealed, there are no guests, so the door is closed, not to be polite to snub the military master, and I hope the military master will forgive me."
Wu Chang Yuguang caught a glimpse of the distinguished guest behind him and still did not speak, in order not to make the distinguished guest dissatisfied with him, he had to withdraw his gaze and pretend to shout: "Clever rebuttal, I think you have something unseemly, military master, I want to check your small shop to see what the mystery is."
After speaking, regardless of the shopkeeper's obstruction, he was about to break into the store, and the shopkeeper accompanied the smiling face, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "What is the military master doing, the small shop is..."
When the shopkeeper was entangled with Wu Chang, the young man behind him finally opened his mouth.
"Master Wu, we don't have to pursue this trivial matter, we are here to buy antiquities, but don't affect your mood because of this trivial matter, right?"
Wu Chang also did not intend to entangle with the shopkeeper too much, but just wanted to vent his anger for the distinguished guest, since the distinguished guests had spoken, naturally he would not pursue it again, and immediately turned back to the shopkeeper and said: "Since the distinguished guest has spoken, I will spare you this time."
"Thank you, Master Jun, thank you, Lord Ran." The shopkeeper waved to Wu Chang again and again, and then turned to the distinguished guest outside the door to salute.
Wu Chang didn't care, he only opened his mouth and urged: "Hurry up and lead the way and lead our distinguished guests into the store."
The shopkeeper hurriedly took a few steps, walked in front of Gu Xiao, bowed and saluted, "Distinguished guests, please enter the store."
Before the words fell, he felt that the young man slapped his shoulder with one hand, and the shopkeeper was also an old man in the golden knife door, how could he not check the young man's temptation, not dodge or dodge, and let the young man's palm hit him.
"Ouch."
The shopkeeper shouted lightly, staggered a few steps, and was about to fall for a moment, but was stretched out by the guest to hold the figure, although he could not see the face of the guest, but he could see the bright eyes like stars, he was constantly looking at himself, his heart was slightly cold, and he quickly stood firm, adjusted his clothes, showed an embarrassed smile on his face, and blamed himself for speaking.
"It's all the villain's fault, the unsteady footing, which makes the guests worried." Look at the book
Gu Xiao withdrew his palm, his starry eyes already showed a look of light, and he said softly: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to blame himself, it's all to blame, the shot is not serious, and it almost caused the shopkeeper to fall."
The shopkeeper said, "It's not in the way..."
Before the words fell, I saw that the guest had already raised his feet and entered the store first... Only the shopkeeper stood in place, slightly stunned, and the shopkeeper was jealous in his eyes, so he would chase into the store with a flattering posture before.
As soon as he entered the store, he saw that the distinguished customer did not glance at the antiquities on the shelves in the store, and walked straight to the back hall.
"Look at my recklessness, I haven't seen the objects in this hall, but these antiquities are precious, and they should be in this back hall... The shopkeeper is not strange." Gu Xiao replied with a smile.
The shopkeeper's eyes flashed alertly, and he replied with a smile: "Although the antiquities are precious, when the small shop is open for business, it is naturally placed in the front hall, which is messy, and I am afraid that it will dirty the eyes of distinguished guests."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, seeing that the guest had already stopped his steps, he turned back to the front hall, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then turned around, causing the two to sit down, Fang took an object from the shelf, looked at it for a moment, turned around and sent it to the two of them, and opened his mouth to introduce.
"Please take a look, this object is from the former palace..."
Gu Xiao listened to the shopkeeper's mouth gushing endlessly, his eyes kept glancing at the back hall, and when he stepped into this Tonggu Xuan, he was sure that this store was by no means an ordinary business, although the store was quiet, but on the side shelves, there was indeed a residual breath of martial arts masters fighting on the store furnishings.
Ordinary people may not notice it, but after Gu Xiao entered the human realm, his perception was keen, and he had already perceived it the moment he entered the store, so he pretended not to know, and went straight to the back hall, wanting to have a glimpse.
What's more, the shopkeeper is clearly good at martial arts, but he pretends not to, pretending to be willing, coupled with the previous doubts, Gu Xiao is full of suspicions.
At this moment, he closed his eyes slightly, secretly used his internal force, and raised his perception to the top, wanting to perceive through internal force to find out where the master of this Tonggu Xuan was.
The captain on his side, seeing that the distinguished guest closed his eyes, only said that it was caused by the fatigue of the distinguished guest all the way, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop the shopkeeper, signaling the shopkeeper not to disturb the guest's rest.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately silenced, nodded and smiled, slowly retreated to the shelf, put the antiquities in his hand back, and motioned himself to go to the back hall.
The curtain behind him was lowered for a moment, and the smile on the shopkeeper's face disappeared, replaced by a solemn and vigilant face, the son had not returned, and Elder Xu was not in Tonggu Xuan, and the guest in the hall was not easy to send away, but I didn't know where he came from.
The more worried, the shopkeeper can think of is to gather people, in case the young man is in trouble at any time, walking through the back hall of the shopkeeper is thinking, suddenly heard a slight sound on the beam, immediately ready to use internal force to guard, a person has jumped in from the roof.
The person who came was the secret whistle that Elder Xu had sent to keep an eye on Gu Xiao in the city before, since he entered the city, he was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and he was very well hidden, and he was never noticed by Gu Xiao, and the shadow that Gu Xiao saw at the entrance of the alley before was this person.
The dark sentry stared at Gu Xiao and a few people all the way, until he followed to the alley where Tonggu Xuan was located, and then he noticed that something was wrong, and when he saw the two people in military costumes entering the Xuan, he hurriedly performed light skills and jumped on the roof, wanting to ventilate and report the news, and when he saw the shopkeeper, he hurriedly said in a low voice: "The shopkeeper, the right person..."
Before the words came out, he was stopped by the shopkeeper raising his hand, hurriedly closed his mouth, and walked quickly with the shopkeeper to a secluded room in the back hall, covered the door, and spoke eagerly: "The shopkeeper, the two people in the front hall, be careful, Elder Xu ordered me to track and watch at the city gate, it is the guest with the masked face."
"It's not good."
Listening to the secret whistle report, the shopkeeper was slightly flustered, and muttered, and after a while, the town
Calm down, and command the secret whistle, "Have all the people in the city received the order of the child?"
"The brothers are ready, just waiting for the son's order." The dark whistle whispered.
"Okay, you tell me to go down, send a few people to act separately, go to find Gongzi and Elder Xu, and tell me about this person's coming to Tongguxuan, I will try to stabilize this person, and then make plans." The shopkeeper thought about it again and again, but he still gave up the idea of gathering people to capture the boy on the spot, and asked the dark sentry to go to find the son to preside over the overall situation.
The dark whistle responded and walked away quickly.
The shopkeeper recalled that the guest said that he had come to buy antiquities, and that he had to stabilize this person and wait for the return of Gongzi and Elder Xu, so it seemed that he had to come up with some good things...
As soon as his mind moved, the shopkeeper walked quickly to the bookshelf in the room, tiptoed his hand, held a small porcelain bottle at the top of the bookshelf, twisted it hard, the bookshelf in front of him suddenly opened, and the dark grid began to appear, taking advantage of the little morning light outside the window, reflecting the jewels, illuminating the shopkeeper's dignified face.
Jade treasures, gold ingots and silver tickets, have been filled with dark grids, these treasures that are enough for ordinary people to live for several lifetimes, the shopkeeper did not stop at all, thinking in his heart, these mundane things, it may be difficult to keep the guests in front of the hall.
His eyes finally stayed on an antique blade, and after thinking about it again and again, the shopkeeper finally reached out and took out the blade...
In the front hall, the eyes were slightly closed, and the young man who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, the corners of his lips were already smiling, but under the cover of the face towel, the chief Wu on his side did not see it, and still felt that the guests were resting with their eyes closed, so they had to sit honestly on their sides.
The second child in the store never took his eyes off the two of them, even if he changed the hot tea for Wu Chang, he never slacked off for half a minute, until he heard the sound of footsteps in the back hall, and the second child in the store secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"The two guests have been waiting for a long time." The shopkeeper held the antiquities in his hand, lifted the curtain and entered, and opened his mouth to apologize.
Only at the moment when the shopkeeper entered the hall, Gu Xiao, who had slightly closed his eyes, suddenly felt a wave of killing intent rushing towards him, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly raised his eyes to look, only to see that the shopkeeper was holding a simple long sword in his hand.
Before the sword is unsheathed, the killing intent has already been permeated, and this kind of blade can be seen at a glance, it is a supreme divine weapon.
The sword is more than three feet long, surrounded by dark lines on the handle, and there are hidden ornaments on the black sheath, which is indeed not as radiant as those divine soldiers, but it is unforgettable at a glance.
"Good sword." Gu Xiao was firmly attracted by this sword, and couldn't help but mutter.
Hearing that he has not yet introduced, the guest opened his own mouth to admire, the shopkeeper was proud in his eyes, and secretly thought in his heart, these two people are dressed in armor, and those antiquities can not enter the eyes of the two, but these rare blades, in order to keep the two, although they do not see the guest's face, but from their own entry into the hall, the person's eyes have not been taken away, and the governor has succeeded.
Gathering his thoughts, the shopkeeper quickly walked in front of the two of them, held up the ancient sword in his hand, bowed slightly, and said, "Look at the costumes of the two soldiers, the jars and jars in my small shop can't enter the eyes of the two military masters... Coincidentally, three or five months ago, the shop accidentally got an ancient sword... Please take a look at them."
The starlight flashed in Gu Xiao's eyes, the length and appearance of the ancient long sword were not much different from the broken moon, and he reached out to take the long sword, but unexpectedly, this sword was extremely heavy, and he almost didn't hold it steadily, and fell to the ground.
Busy with the internal force, only to hold it steady, to get closer, only to see clearly, the faint dark lines on the body of the sword are not scabbard decoration, but simple seal characters.
The young man looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but read the name of the sword.
"Stepping Light."
