Fahai then carried the bowl bowl, placed in front of the Lei Temple Peak, let people build a seven-level pagoda on it, the name said: Lei Feng, Yongzhen Bai, Qing in the tower. ”

—Epigraph

When Lu Cheng saw this ninth-ranked famous sword broken bridge for the first time, a trace of relief flashed in his heart.

Because it's really broken.

There was already a circle of people outside the exhibition window of the famous sword and broken bridge.

Some people swiped their cards and paid the money one by one on stage, eager to try, and then took advantage of the excitement and returned with defeat. This part is a typical psychic person who has extravagant hopes for a famous sword, in the pursuit of artifacts, any psychic bloodline is the same dedication, but the famous sword chooses the master, the real treasure, even if it is placed in front of you, without this life, many people are not blessed. Just like Sun Yuandao, the real ghost Dao person back then, he didn't inherit the breath of the black dragon, even if he had the eye of the black dragon? A few years later, he still made a wedding dress for Lu Cheng.

Most of the remaining people had a big belly and a shy stomach on the side, and An An paid the money in parts, but they didn't try it on stage. Those were the human merchants of the maid's mouth. They often do not have the ability to use famous swords, but they value the artistic value of the artwork itself. Privately possessing a peerless artifact that is not useful, this is something that no one with status or status will refuse. The so-called "playing jade in prosperous times and hiding gold in troubled times" is also a truth.

Their idea is very simple, after a while, as long as no one can make the broken bridge recognize the owner, they can justifiably get this sword by bidding in the auction competition, so every time they try on the stage, in their eyes, it is a thorn in the flesh, as if even if it is a 1 in 10,000 probability, the person in front of them may snatch the excellent treasure that should belong to them.

Lu Cheng glanced at the group of people in front of him lightly, and the contempt on his face was self-evident. Because in his eyes, it seems that he saw a group of monkeys in the mountains aiming at a human dress hanging on a tree branch, and then the physique is suitable to take turns to try, but how to wear it looks awkward, and the rest of those who are not suitable for the physique are kept salivating, and the existence of these monkeys is regarded as a great treasure, and they covet it on the side.

Curious, he stepped forward.

The sword was three feet long, and from the point where the sword grid extended outward by two feet and seven inches, a neat crack cut off the remaining three inches diagonally. It is so crisp and so complete, just like its heart-wrenching backstory, just like a broken heart, leaving no traces of blood.

Lu Cheng didn't know what kind of fierce battles this famous sword had suffered in the past years, so that the body would be so badly injured. Of course, he didn't bother to understand this historical legacy, because the moment he saw it, his originally high expectations for the sword dropped sharply to zero with the overall rating from his first impression.

This sword is completely different from the fierce and violent casting style of the reverse scale, nor is it full of masculinity and heroism like flowing fire, and it is not like the famous sword Taodu Hao. Its whole style is very exquisite, whether it is the fine carving on the hilt of the sword, or the cloud pattern on the sword body, it looks as clear and graceful as the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Coupled with the narrow style of the bayonet, this famous sword seems to be more inclined to a literati saber than a killing weapon - far more decorative than practical.

What he needed was a killing weapon of violent conquest, not a toy that literati and inkmen used to vassal elegance. Regardless of its practical effect, judging from the combat style shown in appearance, this thing is not the same as his Lu Cheng. Of course, the famous sword chooses the master, he can't look down on this delicate famous sword, and this broken bridge naturally can't look down on him. So there was no need to even try such an opportunity, just a glance from a distance, Lu Cheng slowed down the pace of continuing to move forward, and stopped and watched at a certain distance instead.

This sword is not his cup of tea.

"What, sir, do you have any problems?" Noticing the subtle change in expression on Lu Cheng's face, the attendant asked in a low voice.

"Nothing." Lu Cheng smiled, "I don't think there's any need to go further, let's go to the rest area, this famous sword is not very to my taste." ”

"Oh?" The girl was as surprised as if she had seen a wolf who was not interested in mutton, "Isn't it to your taste?" I think this sword is beautiful! ”

"Pretty is pretty, but it's too delicate." Lu Cheng explained.

God pity! Who would have thought that this well-dressed beast would hide such a ferocious and crazy heart under a gentle human skin without having seen his fighting style with his own eyes? No matter how rich the imagination of this maid dressed as a maid is, I am afraid that I would never have imagined that this handsome young man next to me, who is only a gentleman, would be such a dangerous person.

"Showy?" The girl covered her mouth and laughed, "Isn't that a good match for you?" In my opinion, a handsome boy of your type deserves such a sword. ”

"Really?" Lu Cheng smiled tactfully. Although I want to refute it, a fool can hear that the other party is praising himself, and if he argues at this time, he will be a little ignorant.

It was just such a small episode, but it unexpectedly caused unnecessary trouble.

This maid may also have been fascinated by Lu Cheng's approachability, and for a moment she even ignored the feelings of the other guests around her for the sake of his subjective evaluation. A young man who had just failed in the sword test turned his face on the spot when he heard their whispers, looking at Lu Cheng's face blue and red, this contempt and contempt was probably tantamount to seeing a group of beggars with their wives and concubines in their own families on the street, and the ridicule was overflowing, and even gradually rose to the level of provocation.

"I think this brother has a chance to win, why don't you go up and give it a try?" He said lightly, aiming at Lu Cheng in the crowd. His meaning is very simple, aren't you blowing the sky off the stage? There is a kind of come to the stage to try, and see if you have more to say.

Generally, people with a little self-cultivation will laugh at most when they hear him say this, after all, the person who asked the question himself has not succeeded in trying the sword, where is he qualified to laugh at others? But what he met today was Lu Cheng, as the number one Tianzi who dared to despise most of the people present with his strength, if he could endure this kind of provocation, then it would not be called Lu Cheng.

So he measured his head with a faint smile, and asked calmly: "I succeeded in trying the sword, do you have to call me Dad?" ”

In an instant, the eyes of the onlookers all gathered, and those with a little eyesight could see that the smell of gunpowder was strong in this place, and a good show could be staged in a while.

Originally, it was just a small quarrel or two, but after these elites, celebrities and aristocrats from all walks of life waited and watched, there was a contradiction in the upgrade plan. Seeing that the scene was not easy to clean up, why was the young man alone who was worried in his heart?

He is weak in heart, this kid can't really make the famous sword recognize the master, and Lu Cheng also knows that he doesn't have the strength to convince Broken Bridge. But the problem of face is here, both of them are figures with heads and faces, if anyone recognizes it first at this time, then there is no need to participate in the next auction, just rush to the eyes of the audience, and no one can afford to lose this face.

"Okay." Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, even if he panicked in his heart, the young man couldn't retreat at this time, so he had to go back with a smile on his face, "But what if you can't wake up the famous sword?" Call me Daddy? ”

Lu Cheng glanced at him like a fool, "I'm afraid that you don't have this blessing, and you can't stand my 'dad'." ”

The two of them looked at each other from afar, one was so excited that his face was red, and the other was calm and calm, talking and laughing, but he didn't try his sword on stage.

The young man probably saw it, this kid probably didn't have a bottom in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time talking here, the longer the time dragged on, the more confident he became.

And Lu Cheng was bitter in his heart.

Who would have thought that he would be able to attract such a large group of onlookers in the end by saying a word to him on impulse? The current situation is that in order to save his face, he must let this girl-like sword recognize himself as a killer as the master, and the difficulty of this kind of thing is probably similar to letting Lu Wenjun personally say that his favorite object is Li Kui. Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, those who dare to go up the mountain are either fools or drunk Wu Song!

At this time, not only the waitress who dragged him to the side followed aside, but even the staff who were concerned about the battle situation also came up.

The staff on the side looked at him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but come over with the POS machine and asked, "Sir, do you want to pay the fee here?" ”

Seeing this scene, Lu Cheng already knew in his heart that he might not be able to avoid this matter today.

Because you don't go up to try the sword, you can quibble that you are too lazy to care about the same idiot, and you don't want to be more nervous than the mentally ill, but if the staff of the auction house are all here and you don't swipe the card, it is a disguised show that not only does you not have the courage to gamble, but also a poor bastard who can't afford to pay.

He laughed twice, and after scolding this ignorant staff member eighteen times in his heart, he still handed over his credit card in a chic manner.

"Okay, now you can go and try your sword." After swiping the card, the staff politely smiled.

Wait a while for the famous sword to recognize the master, if you can't recognize the master, as long as the young man dares to entangle or ridicule, he will show a spicy appearance on the spot and beat him to call him father.

He smiled calmly and walked onto the stage unhurriedly. Looking at the young man who was joking and ready to watch a joke in the audience, it was like looking at a pig's head with a blue nose and swollen face.
