Chapter 191: A Knife of Rune Paper
After the three Gu brothers left Yuxi Town, they didn't go far, and when they saw that there was no one around, they went deep into the dense forest on the side of the official road. They used the technique of shrinking the ground into inches, and after more than ten breaths, they appeared in front of a city god temple that had been abandoned for many years more than two hundred miles away.
The blue-robed Taoist priest slowly walked out from behind the collapsed gable with his hands behind his back: "You guys are back." ”
The three brothers clasped their fists together and saluted: "The disciples have seen Lord Guan. ”
"Have you seen him?" asked the blue-robed Taoist priest.
Gu Da took a small step forward and responded, "Yes, he is in Yuxi Town." ”
"What is he doing there?" the blue-robed Taoist priest frowned slightly, "There's a rebel stronghold over there?"
"According to the disciples, the rebels have never appeared in Yuxi Town. Shen Yun lived in a small courtyard near the downtown area of the town and lived alone. Listen to what he means, I want to stay there for a while. The disciples thought that he had searched for the murderer for thousands of miles, and now that he had taken revenge, the whole person suddenly relaxed, felt tired, and wanted to rest for some time. The old man replied with a big lowered eye.
The blue-robed Taoist priest smiled and asked again, "Do you want to know where he went after he separated from you that night?"
The old man replied, "That's clear." He was very scared, left Jinyan Tower, and went back to the inn. No, it didn't take long for something to happen at the cantonment station. He had been hiding in the inn. It wasn't until the next morning, when the guy in the inn came to knock on the door and said that the rebels had left, that he packed his bags and left Shiping County in a hurry. In the afternoon of the same day, he arrived in the town of Yuxi. After staying in the inn for one night, I decided to stay there, so I rented the small courtyard that day. The lease is signed for six months. ”
The blue-robed Taoist priest let out an "oh", changed his words, and asked, "Have you found the portrait of the eldest lord of Shiping County?"
"Two were found. One is a self-portrait of him, and the other is a seated portrait of an official that he asked a famous artist to paint. Gu San took a step forward and presented two scrolls with both hands.
"It's all open. The blue-robed Taoist priest didn't answer, and ordered directly.
"Yes. The three brothers worked together and opened the two scrolls in front of him.
The blue-robed Taoist priest glanced at it twice, and said in his heart: Could it be that I am thinking too much. Thinking that Shen Yun is a mortal boy with no spiritual roots, and no one to help, how can he pretend to be the lord of a county? If you want to blindfold me, you have to use the medium-grade Yirong Dan. Medium-grade pills, in exchange for ordinary casual cultivation, are not something that can be exchanged casually. Not to mention a homeless and unemployed orphan.
"Take it. He waved his hand lightly, "Shen Yun's matter, think about it in the long run." You go back to the provincial capital first, and pay more attention to some Pingnan Hou Mansion. If there is any change, report it to me as soon as possible. ”
The three Gu brothers Qi claimed to be.
The blue-robed Taoist priest crushed a thousand-mile speed talisman, and in a blink of an eye, it was gone.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.
"Second brother, what does His Holiness want us to do with the Pingnan Hou Mansion?" Pingnanhou Mansion is the former Pei Marshal's Mansion. Since he was named the Marquis of Pingnan by Emperor Qin, the Marshal's Mansion changed the plaque and changed it to the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion.
Gu Er shook his head slightly: "I don't know." Venerable Majesty's actions, how can ordinary people like us understand it?" Although they are foreign affairs disciples of Sanchun Temple, they can also call themselves "disciples" in front of His Holiness, which is actually just good. To put it bluntly, they are actually just the eyes that His Holiness puts on the outside.
Gu San stuck out his tongue.
Yuxi Town.
In the blink of an eye, summer went to autumn and came. Shen Yun lived in the town for almost two months. He got to know the neighbors well. On this day, the youngest son of the owner of the incense and candle shop on Qianjie slammed the courtyard door of his house: "Brother Shen, Brother Shen!"
Shen Yun quickly came out of the house, opened the courtyard door, and asked, "Ayi, what's the matter?"
"My dad is back, and he has brought back a new piece of rune paper, and I asked you to come and see if it is suitable for my house. "Don't look at Ayi's young age, he has just turned five years old this year, but he is articulate and very flexible. All the errands in their family that ran errands and reported the news were handed over to him.
Shen Yun was overjoyed, and took out a handful of big money from his sleeve pocket and stuffed it into him: "Ayi will take it to buy candy to eat." ”
"Thank you, Brother Shen. Ayi held it in both hands, and a pair of sparkling eyes smiled like a crescent moon. The newly moved Brother Shen is not only good-looking, speaks kindly, but is also very generous. The children in the neighborhood love to help Brother Shen.
Shen Yun followed Ayi and soon came to the incense candle shop.
The owner was waiting for him in the shop. Seeing him come in, he hurriedly took out a one-foot-long cardboard box from the counter: "Brother Shen, come and see, is this knife rune paper suitable?" I have been selling rune paper for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such good goods. ”
Shen Yun saw that the color was very similar to the rune paper described in the book, so he took out one of it and first held it in his hand.
The rune paper is as thin as a cicada's wings, but it is much heavier than ordinary rune paper in the hand. As for whether it is ten times heavier, he can't carry it, and he has to go home and weigh it to find out.
Then, he tried to stretch the talisman paper hard.
Very sturdy! In terms of strength, it is also in line with the description in the book.
It is very likely that it is the rune paper mentioned in the book! Holding down the joy in his heart, his face was not visible, he nodded and said, "Well, it is very strong. It's the kind of rune paper I want. Is this the only one? I'd like to have more. ”
Unexpectedly, the boss laughed: "Such a good product, I also want to buy more." But people don't give it. I got my hands on this knife with a snack. "Hehe, this knife paper is actually his windfall. When he was in the county seat, he carried a burden and passed by under a restaurant. No, this box suddenly flew out of the window of the upper floor, and it happened to land in one of his baskets. Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone that the paper was picked up for nothing.
Shen Yun heard it: There is only this knife, there are many, and there are no more.
He took out two silver ingots of ten taels from his sleeve pocket and handed them to the boss: "I want them, are these enough?" He wanted to talk to the boss about the shop that sold this kind of rune paper, so he paid a lot of money.
"Enough, enough. The boss happily accepted it.
For the sake of the heavy silver, he decided to sell a message to Shen Yun: "That is a big store, and it is used to big business, so it disdains to do a one-and-two-knife deal with me, a new customer." However, I have found out where I can buy this bulk cargo. ”
"Oh, where is it?" Shen Yun asked.
"In the big river bay ten miles in the eastern suburbs of the county, there is a double-hole stone bridge. On the riverside of that area, on the 14th day of the second lunar month, there is a small temporary market. I heard that it specializes in selling some good things. It's just that the price is a little more expensive. Brother Shen might as well try his luck there. ”
Is there such a rune paper? The shopkeeper said he didn't know. Because this is a gossip he overheard from the shopkeeper's mouth the last time he bought goods. The "good things" in the mouth of the shopkeeper in the incense and candle shop, in addition to the incense candle paper money, what else can there be?
As for whether it is true or not, he has never been there, how do you know?
