Chapter 177: The Sword Name is "Bodhisattva" (Second Update)
"So...... Am I so ugly when I'm drunk?" Qin Ke asked seriously, he hadn't been drunk with everyone for so long in Jianye City, and this time if it weren't for the fact that the imperial doctor asked him to drink less before he recovered, I was afraid that he would also join the few people who robbed the wine.
Abu smiled bitterly, "When did I wake up when you were drunk?"
Qin Ke sighed, thinking that the next time he drank, he would have more eyes, so as not to be as ugly as Xiao Qian. But this is just thinking about it in his heart, it is really a jar of wine, and the stamina rushes straight to his head, and he may not be able to remember to leave more clarity at that time.
However, Abu's words made him feel a warm current rippling in his heart.
Wine can warm the body and the heart, and the more you drink, the warmer your heart will be. If you can get drunk like this, even if you part ways tomorrow, it will not be in vain.
Gao Changgong did not come empty-handed, in his left hand, he held a sword more than three feet long, the scabbard was a little solemn in its simplicity, and a few lines of fine words were engraved on it.
Qin Ke couldn't understand it, so he could only put his eyes on the hilt of the sword, and a touch of fiery red came into view, and the flowing sword spike shook slightly between Gao Changgong's steps, like a proud flame constantly beating.
"So early?" Zhou Gongjin had already heard the movement and walked out of the room, "I thought you had to be later, what are you...... Do you want to wait a while and I'll prepare it for you?"
Gao Changgong shook his head, walked straight to Qin Ke, pulled a cushion and knelt down, and said with a smile: "Why bother so much, just here." ”
Zhou Gongjin grinned, he and Gao Changgong were not such formal people, nodded and said, "Then I'll go and cut some mutton for you." ”
The case of two people has become a case of three people, and the original spaciousness is a little crowded. Gao Changgong took a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks brought by Pu Bo, put a few pieces of finely chopped mutton in Xiaoding and put them in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted for a moment, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
He knew why Zhou Gongjin would prepare this kind of Ding Shi, which was quite popular in Canghai today.
The Great Wall and Canghai are very close, so close that the two countries are also very similar in eating, drinking, and eating, and I wonder if the female general who never wears women's clothes but only armor is also eating such a dinner now?
Opening his eyes, he looked around at Qin Ke and Abu, squinted his eyes and said, "You guys watch me do something, keep eating." ”
"I'm almost full. Abu's voice was a little low, and he sat opposite Gao Changgong with some restraint.
Qin Ke looked at Gao Changgong's face that was slightly red from the flames, and raised his voice without hesitation, "Isn't the Sun family's banquet delicious?"
Gao Changgong continued to eat in Xiaoding, as if he had lost the image burden of the general and the "God of War" in an instant, and the mutton in his mouth was so juiced that he chewed it, and said: "This kind of banquet, who will really bury their heads in hard work? Everyone is busy patting Sun Ji'an's ass, if I sit alone and eat and drink, doesn't it seem like I'm looking at the Sun family's face?"
"Hmm......" Qin Ke pondered for a moment, he didn't understand this kind of thing very well, shrugged his shoulders and said: "You people are really tired, you pay so much attention to eating, isn't it just that the table is bigger, there are more dishes, and you can have a meal, how good it is for everyone to be lively." ”
"It's quite tiring, so it's better to come back early and have a hot meal of lamb. Gao Changgong fished with chopsticks for a long time, frowned and instructed Qin Ke: "Put some more cabbage leaves, and that plate of meatballs, and crispy belly slices, and ......."
"Call me as a junior second envoy......" Qin Ke muttered quietly, took the balls and vegetable leaves, and poured them all in.
He had forgotten that when he was in Daoxiang Village, wasn't he just an innkeeper...... Moreover, Uncle Ji's inn was temporarily rebuilt from a farmhouse.
"Say what. Gao Changgong had a keen hearing, but he didn't bother to bother with Qin Ke at this time, and with a flick of his hand, the long sword he had been holding in his left hand drew a graceful arc in the air and fell towards Qin Ke, who was a little in a hurry.
Qin Ke looked at the long sword in his arms in a daze, and reached out to touch the scabbard in disbelief, it seemed to be the material of wood, but it didn't make people feel the roughness of the log at all.
"What are you doing?" Qin Ke vaguely felt something, but he didn't dare to be sure, happiness came too suddenly, making him worry if it would be just a short-lived delusion.
"A gift for you. Gao Changgong slowly swallowed a mouthful of mutton, and his eyes fell on Qin Ke's injured leg playfully, "It's a ...... Treat yourself to today...... The hard work?"
Of course, there is no credit for losing the military exercise, but if you hurt a leg, you will always have some hard work.
Although the statement of hard work made Qin Ke a little helpless, but the joy in his heart diluted his frustration, and he began to stroke the scabbard a little presumptuously, until he held the hilt of the sword with one hand, as he gritted his teeth for a while, the long sword was silently half cut, and a light shone brightly, making him can't help but squint his eyes.
What a good steel that has been tempered for thousands of years!
The quaint lines on the sword body are reminiscent of layers of white clouds, and they seem to be slowly fluttering up and down, changing into various shapes with the flowing light.
"This material is similar to your dagger, the sword is three feet six inches long and one inch and eight minutes wide. The thinly sliced tofu was like a rolling white silk in the soup, Gao Changgong picked up a piece, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then said: "Forging by the ancient method, the length is three hundred and sixty weeks, and half of the width is half of Tiangang...... It's just that there was too much blood in the past, and it was a strict sword. ”
Qin Ke didn't dare to completely pull the sword out of the scabbard, but just exposing a small part of the scabbard was enough for him to know that this sword was extraordinary.
When he touched the pattern, he seemed to be able to faintly feel the rhythm of the ancient sword, as if he was not touching a dead object, but intersecting with its soul.
It was sleeping, Qin Ke thought to himself.
There seemed to be a heart beating in the void, and perhaps the sword seemed very quiet and peaceful now, but when it fully awakened, God knows what kind of majestic face it will reveal.
He didn't know why Gao Changgong said that this sword had been stained with too much blood, but it was clear that it was as clean as new, and there was not even a single nick or scratch.
Holding back his curiosity, Qin Ke pressed the sword back into the scabbard and asked, "What is this sword called?"
"It used to have a name, but it's gone. A Buddhist monk personally created this scabbard, carried it on his body, and recited the scriptures every day, which finally washed away the anger on the sword. Now this sword ...... The name is 'Bodhisattva'. Gao Changgong's eyes were calm, and his eyes seemed to float into the distance through the gurgling mutton soup.
When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks in the deep prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......
"Buddhism?" Qin Ke looked at him blankly, the two schools of Confucianism and Taoism have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the Buddhism family has only gradually become known in the past hundred years, and Qin Ke has only heard the master mention one or two things briefly when he was a child.
Confucianism says: Parents who receive hair and skin on the body must not be damaged.
However, Buddhism pays attention to cutting off the three thousand troubled threads, escaping into the empty door, and the six roots are pure.
However, when he was a child, Qin Ke always felt that it was a bit miserable to beg for food with a bald head every day, so he often had a lot of sympathy, and now that he thinks about it, he is really vulgar.
Gao Changgong sat up straight, gently put his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, and said, "Soldiers, murder weapons, saints are not allowed to use them." But...... I'm not that pedantic, and I think that since I've been forged into a sword, I'll have a sheath after all, and it's up to you to decide how much blood will get on it in the future. ”
Qin Ke looked at Gao Changgong and thought to himself, shouldn't you, the general of Jing Wu, say something more impassioned? For example, I hope you can use this sword to kill the Quartet, and I hope you can fight the sword world and make meritorious contributions...... Why is it talking about the murder weapon of the soldier at this time?
However, he secretly gripped the hilt of his sword, thinking that he would definitely try to keep the sword as little blood as possible.
He doesn't like to kill, preferring to run away like a loach rather than a head-to-head duel.
However, Gao Changgong's next sentence shocked his whole body: "After eating, go into the palace to meet Wanling, he is waiting for you in Anhe Palace, what do you want to know...... It's time for you to listen. ”
Qin Ke stroked the "Bodhisattva" and was silent.
He knew that this time would come sooner or later, but when it really came to him, it still made him feel a little sudden.
He closed his eyes and sighed softly, Master's thin and handsome face had been wandering in his dream for months, and he had come all the way to Jingwu, and there must be a result.
Whether the outcome is good or bad.
That's right.
For better or for worse.
The look on Qin Ke's face was already a little impatient, and he nodded heavily: "Okay, I'll go right away." ”
