() Both of them were curious and stepped forward to take a closer look.

But I saw that the axe was about three feet long, and it was made of stainless steel, and its shape was very unique. A golden dragon is carved on its handle, which spirals up to the top of the handle. The body of the axe is thick and strong, turning into two pairs of crescent moons, snow-white and bright, extremely sharp, and under the light of the fire, it emits a dazzling light.

"What a Xuanhua axe!" Qiao Zhengyu looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but praise. Reaching for the long handle, he lifted the axe off the ground. After a few casual dances, he nodded and said, "Well, a good axe, it's really a good axe." I couldn't put it down, and then gently put it back in its place.

"Brother Qiao, don't you think it's strange? There is nothing in this secret room, except for such a big axe, but I don't know why. The sparrow suddenly asked.

Qiao Zhengyu thought for a moment and said: "This may be the weapon used by a certain owner, maybe this owner has made a great contribution to Mantuo Villa, so he collected his weapon, which can be regarded as a kind of mourning and admiration for the ancestors."

"Also, this Mantuo Mountain Villa is a martial arts holy land, and what owner doesn't know martial arts. So, it's normal for an axe to appear here, and there's no fuss. ”

Lingque'er said: "Well, what Brother Qiao said is not false, but I don't know why, I still have some doubts in my heart, and I always feel that there is something wrong with this." He stared intently at the great axe, lost in thought.

Qiao Zhengyu shook his head and smiled: "If there is anything wrong, it is that this axe is really beautifully made and has a special shape. ”

After admiring, he heard the sparrow suddenly shout

Said: "Brother Qiao, look at it, what is this!" looked at it in amazement, and found that there were some red liquid traces on the back of the axe, from top to bottom, spreading out like petals, splashing everywhere.

"It looks like it's blood, and it's right on the back of the axe, so I didn't notice it just now. Qiao Zhengyu looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Yes, this is exactly some bloodstains, maybe it is because it has been too long, these bloodstains have long dried up, and they are firmly stuck to the axe." ”

Lingque'er pondered for a while, and asked, "Brother Qiao, it's really strange, how can there be blood stains on the axe, it doesn't seem to be." ”

Qiao Zhengyu said: "Oh, why do you say that, is there something wrong here?"

Lingque'er said with a straight face: "Brother Qiao, you might as well think about it, since this axe is intentionally treasured here, it must be an extremely valuable thing. In that case, the collector must have taken great care of it, and how could he allow it to be stained with blood?"

"Well, there's some truth to your idea. It stands to reason that collectors take great care of their collections and will never allow any impurities and dust to attach to them. Listening to your analysis, this bloodstain really shouldn't have appeared on the axe. Qiao Zhengyu nodded and said.

"But why is the blood on the axe?" frowning and pondering.

Lingque'er smiled and said, "So, this bloodstain has become the key, in fact, it is not difficult to unlock this secret, as long as you know who these bloodstains are, isn't everything clear." ”

Qiao Zhengyu listened to it and was happy: "What you said is very interesting, people in the martial arts have always liked to fight fiercely, this bloodshed and hurting people is a common thing, not to mention the people in Mantuo Villa." So whose blood is on this axe, I think in this life

There really is no one in the world who can answer this question. ”

Lingque'er smiled at him and said, "But what you said is also true, there are too many things to fight and kill on the rivers and lakes, and the bloodstains left on the axe only know whose it is." Hey, forget it, there's nothing to stay here, let's get out of here. ”

The two then exited the chamber and returned to the room the same way they came.

On the second day, Yan Shigui delivered breakfast on time, and after explaining to everyone for a while, he left in a hurry. Everyone knew that he had something to do, and they were not surprised, and the group sat down and ate and chatted in the room.

Halfway through the conversation, I suddenly saw Yan Shigui hurriedly coming from outside the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to everyone: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, Zhuangzhong has something to deal with in the past few days, please take care of yourself." "The long sleeves are flicked, as if they are sending off guests.

Everyone felt strange, Zhang Wuji said: "Master Yanzhuang, you want to stay with us for a while, and drive us away for a while, this is 。。。。。。 What the hell is going on?"

Yan Shigui looked serious and said coldly: "You don't need to ask, just please." One sentence blocked everyone's mouths, and they didn't dare to ask half a sentence.

Qiao Zhengyu arched his hand and said: "Since this is the case, then I won't bother Brother Yan, so I will leave." "Lead the people out of the threshold, and they will depart.

"Wait!" Yan Shigui shouted, rushed to the front of everyone, and said, "You can't go through the gate, please come with me." He led the way and led the people to the backyard.

After walking for a long time, I finally came to a small door. Yan Shigui stepped forward to open the door and said to everyone: "Go out from here, go straight east for ten miles, and then walk south for five miles, and you can reach the bottom of the mountain." Forgive Yan for something, no longer accompanied, please take care of yourself. ”
