Chapter 158: Autumn Leaves Flying Snow with the Sword

"Zuoqiu senior?" neither of them had ever heard of it, and they looked at each other very embarrassed. Zuoqiu didn't care, the so-called right and wrong were clear after all, seeing the two of them like this, he just shook his head and smiled: "With the age of the two of you, it's understandable that you don't know my name, and I have already withdrawn from the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have opened a forgetful house here, and few people in the rivers and lakes still remember me." Haha, don't forget, don't forget, the rivers and lakes are so rugged. ”

Seeing that there was a secret hidden in his words, he had a very good demeanor and a peculiar appearance between his gestures, but he was afraid that his martial arts were not under Qin Wujiao. What is even more precious is that he can get away with it after experiencing the rivers and lakes, and he is still like a mirror. Chu Qing'an and Dao Xueke added a little bit of awe and admiration to their hearts.

"I wonder if my predecessor has a relationship with my father?" asked Dao Xueke humbly. "Your father Su Shang is indeed a hero, but I have never met him, but your grandfather Su Jin has had several encounters with me. That's it, after quitting the rivers and lakes for many years, why mention these past events, don't ask again. Zuoqiu waved his hand and said.

Chu Qing'an asked: "Since the seniors don't want to mention the past, why did they name this store Mo Forget Zhai?" Zuo Qiu replied: "What you should remember and what you should forget is determined by your heart." Don't forget the word, but don't forget that everything has a mind, that's all. With that, Zuoqiu took out a mahogany octagonal box from his sleeve, the size of his palm, and the carving was fine and elegant.

"Boy, as I said earlier, the three internal forces in your body, although they have their own strengths, cannot be used for you. Floating in your body, repelling each other, it is easy to impact the internal organs and damage the meridians and acupoints. Although I don't know what you have to do with Qin Wuzai, and what your relationship is with Lijiang Wine, just from the fact that they are willing to hand over their internal strength to you, it shows that they are to help you. It's a pity that you can't reconcile these three internal forces with your own strength, which is not only useless, but harmful. Zuoqiu said mysteriously.

This statement is by no means groundless, Dao Xueke often feels the collision of multiple internal forces in his body, and even more sometimes blocks the meridians, resulting in poor internal operation, and all his skills cannot be displayed, and Qin Wuzai also said when he taught him the Ten Directions Returning Heart Skill at that time, he needs to reconcile the internal forces in his body that are repulsive, and he doesn't want to do too much, so he will forget that advice.

Chu Qing'an saw that his face was heavy, and he knew that this matter was most likely expected by Zuoqiu, so he took the first step to ask for advice: "Dare to ask the seniors if there is a cure?" Zuoqiu was waiting for her to mention this matter, and then stretched out the mahogany box that had been in his hand for a long time in front of the two of them. The two of them asked in unison, "What is this?" When they opened the box, it was covered with a layer of gold velvet, and in the middle was an ordinary pill, the more the size of a thumb.

Although the pill has an ordinary appearance, it has a strange fragrance. The fragrance was seductive and extremely pungent. Chu Qing'an has already read "Jishi Qing Bag" by heart, and he doesn't remember all the thousands of medicinal materials in the world, but he also knows hundreds of them. Seeing this pill now, I can't say it's famous, and I naturally have no bottom in my heart. Dao Xueke glanced at her, but there was no response, so he didn't dare to reach out for the medicine.

"Why? Fang dared to drink that tea, but he didn't dare to take the pill at this time?" Zhuang Qiu laughed at him and deliberately sneered, "Why is Su Shang's son so daring?" Seeing that Dao Xueke was still hesitating, Zuoqiu finally stopped teasing him, and stomped his feet and sighed: "You kid, you are so suspicious. Although the rivers and lakes are sinister, it is not so. You don't see this pill as ordinary, but just like me, this man cannot be disguised, and the sea cannot be measured. ”

"This pill is made from ambergris, a medicinal herb unique to Whale Cloud Island overseas, which has its own peculiar fragrance. Break down this grass and use iceberg snow lotus as a medicine guide, all mash to make powder, and then mix it with Tianshan ice water, put it in bamboo, seal it with ice and snow, and put it on the fire. When the ice and snow melt and the ice water evaporates, the upper layer of powder is twisted into pills. This pill is extremely precious, it can condense internal force and reconcile true qi, which is perfect for you. ”

Dao Xueke was still skeptical, but Chu Qing'an clapped his hands and smiled: "I remember, ambergris is an extremely precious medicinal material, the growth is extremely harsh, it must be grown for more than thirty years before it can be used in medicine, and most of it is overseas, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold!

"It's still a well-informed girl, whatever, boy, I didn't lie to you. After this village, there will be no such shop. If it weren't for the fact that you have something to do with Lijiang wine, I wouldn't have helped you. Zuoqiu twisted his beard again and smiled, his dark eyes rolling, as if he was thinking about something. Chu Qing'an nodded heavily, and Dao Xueke took the wooden box, took out the pill and took it. "It will take some time for this medicine to take effect, since you are here to buy weapons, then let's take a look around. ”

Zuoqiu staggered to the counter, picked up the purple clay pot and poured several sips of tea, and then picked up the golden abacus and shook it. "How does Brother Xue feel?" Chu Qing'an asked with hope. Dao Xueke's expression was complicated, and he couldn't say why: "I just feel that my body is very warm, and my breathing is smoother, and I don't feel anything else." Chu Qing'an nodded slightly, and the two of them bowed to Nazuoqiu and thanked, "Thank you, senior!"

"Excuse me, I'm no longer a person from the rivers and lakes, and Hugh wants to fool me with that set of etiquette. Zuoqiu waved his hand again and again, seemingly extremely disdainful of this thank you. He lowered his head, fiddled with the abacus, and looked up at the two from time to time. When Chu Qingan saw him like this, he must have asked the two of them, otherwise he would not have given such a precious medicine to two people who met in Pingshui for no reason. Chu Qing'an took the first step and asked: "When we meet the seniors for the first time, we will give them a big gift, how can I wait for the juniors not to return the gift?"

Although Dao Xueke didn't know Chu Qing'an's true intentions, he felt that this was reasonable, so he arched his hand and said: "The seniors are willing to help, and we should repay you for giving such a precious medicine." I don't know if the seniors have any requirements?" Chu Qing'an took the opportunity to say again: "The seniors are hidden in the city, and they will not put forward any vulgar conditions for gold and silver. ”

Zuoqiu saw that the words had been spoken, so he didn't hide it, raised his head, coughed lightly, and said calmly: "Since the two of you also know about the retribution of kindness, then I will speak." After that, he shook the golden abacus, rubbed the purple clay pot, moistened his throat and said, "I don't lack gold and silver, just a book." "A book?" Dao Xueke and the others were also a little surprised, they thought that Zuoqiu would take the opportunity to make a profit, but they didn't expect that there would only be one book.

But Chu Qing'an thought about it, this Zuoqiu is an old fox, and he is not a great good person, how could he be so kind and willing to exchange a book for that rare medicine? This book must be a rare treasure, it is extremely difficult to find, so he opened his mouth and asked, "What kind of book did the predecessors want?" Zuoqiu hooked his fingers, and the two obediently approached him, and Fu Er stepped forward.

Zuoqiu's pair of mung bean-like eyes glanced around again, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "It's a martial arts secret book, called "Supreme Great Xuan Shen Ming Volume". "The Supreme Great Xuan Divine Scroll?" The two looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, and they shook their heads and said, "What kind of martial arts is this book, why have you never heard of it in the rivers and lakes?"

"I can't explain the ins and outs of it to the two of you. Look for it, and if you find it, come here quickly and give it to me. Remember not to read it, let alone steal the martial arts, this thing is ominous, so as not to provoke the fire. Remember! Remember!" Zuoqiu's expression was solemn, and he changed his previous hippie smile and became serious. It seems that this matter is very important, and the two dare not underestimate it. He took a half step back and bowed and bowed, "The two of us will do our best to find this book and repay our predecessors." ”

Zuoqiu had a promise, so he was naturally happy in his heart, and shook the abacus and laughed: "I am the best, I am the best." Since this is the case, you two can choose the weapons in this shop, and you should give them away, and I will not charge a penny!"

Seeing that Zuoqiu was so magnanimous, Dao Xueke was about to say thank you, but what a ghost and spirit Chu Qing'an was, he stopped him and asked: "Since the predecessor is a reclusive master, he naturally treasures many rare treasures, and he also said that even if he wants the ten famous swords, he can get them, how can he use these mortal products to prevaricate us now?" Chu Qing'an glanced at Dao Xueke quite proudly, and Dao Xueke couldn't help laughing.

"Wouldn't it be better to send the Buddha to the west, be a favor, and give us two famous swords and swords?"

Zuoqiu laughed again when he heard the words, shook his finger and pointed at Chu Qing'an and said with a smile: "You girl is a ghost, she can speak well, and she actually has some small calculations. But it's also really lovely. Either way, no matter what, in that case, I will give you two famous swords and famous swords. With that, he jumped into the inner hall.

There was a clanging sound in the house, and the voice of Zuoqiu came out: "More than 300 years ago, Zhao Huainian, the first sword-casting master in the rivers and lakes, Zhao Fuzi collected the world's famous swords into a book, and compiled the "Jianghu Famous Sword Record" and "Hundred Swords". And today's top ten famous swords and famous swords in the rivers and lakes are all excerpted from that double spectrum. ”

"There are ten famous swords, and they are arranged in the order of no hatred, flowing wind, snow leaves, burning dragons, Qiongshan, returning to the sea, Yanhua, mulberry moon, clouds, and red thunder. Each of the ten swords has its own strengths and weaknesses, but all of them are rare famous swords in the world. Now there is no hatred in the government and the opposition, the wind is lost in the rivers and lakes, the burning dragon returns to the north, Qiongshan returns to the sea into the east, the Yanhuana Nanren, the mulberry moon hides the west mountain, the clouds flow outside, and the red thunder is in the people. Although the nine famous swords are scattered in the rivers and lakes, they can be regarded as having their own masters, and there is no master for this sword. ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain floated up, and a sword flew out of it, Chu Qingan flew up, held it in his hand, and turned to fall. Look at the hilt of the scabbard, the turquoise light iron is cold, the snow is dotted with copper rings, the green handle of the bright spike is inlaid with beautiful jade, and the sword is three feet three inches long. It's not long, it's not short, it's light to weigh it in your hand.

"Brush" pulled out the sword, only to see the whole body snow-white, shining bright, frost blade cold, blowing hair, sharpening iron like mud, extremely sharp. The body of the sword is engraved with the word "snow leaf", which is about one inch and two minutes wide. The jade wrist turned lightly, the long sword danced, and I saw the sword light in the sky, and the afterimages were repeated, like flying snow in winter, falling leaves in late autumn, and bringing cold wind gusts. Lightweight and agile, extremely handy.

Chu Qing'an and Dao Xueke met and praised again and again: "It's really a good sword!" Zuo Qiu smiled when he heard the words in the house: "Xue Ye can also rank third in the famous sword spectrum, so there is no doubt that he is a good sword." It is recorded in the "Record of Famous Swords in the Rivers and Lakes" that Xue Ye was originally a woman's sword, but it was rare to be ranked third in the list of famous swords. The Snow Leaf Sword is three feet three inches and three minutes long, about one inch and two inches wide, and weighs three catties and six taels. It is extremely light, and once it dances, it is like pear blossoms flying and snow during the day. ”

Chu Qing'an stroked the Snow Leaf Sword, and when his fingers swept over the word Snow Leaf, he couldn't help but read: "Snow Leaf, Folding Snow, Finding Leaves, Could it be that this is really a heavenly opportunity? Seeing that she loved this sword so much, Dao Xueke was naturally happy for her.

At this moment, a voice came from the inner hall again: "Boy, this is yours, take the knife!" Dao Xueke looked up suddenly, only to see a pitch-black knife flying out of the room, catching it, but was shocked back by the force A few steps, turned around again and again, and swung the knife down suddenly, only then did he hold it firmly in his hand, but he was already sweating profusely, as if he had just tamed a fierce horse.

Looking closely at the knife, it was much narrower than usual, only one inch and eight minutes wide, three feet six inches and five minutes long, and the snow-white scabbard did not have a trace of superfluous ornamentation, which was much rougher than the extremely delicate snow-leaf sword. But the knife is domineering, and it is understandable that it is less refined. Draw out the blade, if the handle of the knife is pitch black, dazzling white, heavy black, the two collide, entangled in the blade. The pitch-black knife, the snow-white blade, and the blade has a blood-red groove embedded in it.

The cold light of the blade flickered, and it was no less sharp than the snow leaf sword, and when it was wielded, it seemed to shake the heavens and the earth, stepping through the rivers and mountains. The sword aura is floating in the sky, and the killing intent is hidden in the knife. What's even more amazing is that the knife snowman lost his heart because of the blood intent knife, and over time, it was inevitable that the killing intent in his heart was soaring, and it was difficult to calm down. It's not just the effect of the pill, it's because of the knife.

Zuoqiu opened the door curtain, walked out of the inner hall slowly, looked at the two people with happy faces and smiled: "What? Is it agreeable?" "Very good, very good!" The two of them were naturally overjoyed to get the magic weapon, and the knife Xueke put the knife back into the sheath, and asked: "I don't know the senior, what is the name of this knife?"

Zuoqiu stopped the teapot that had reached his lips and said with a long sigh of relief: "Red Night." ”

The two looked at the weapons in their hands, and could not hide the smile in their eyes. People who practice martial arts walk the rivers and lakes, and weapons are indispensable. If you can find a famous sword in your lifetime, wouldn't it be a blessing for the people of the rivers and lakes?

The stove was burning vigorously, and although it was pouring rain and cold wind outside, the room was indeed warm, and under the murderous aura of the weapons of the four directions, it was filled with a rare peaceful atmosphere. Zuoqiu looked out of the door, took another sip of tea, and sighed: "The autumn rain is endless." ”

The hour was not early, and there were still important things to do, so the two of them wanted to say goodbye to Zuoqiu and went to Yiye Jianmen. Zuoqiu repeatedly told them not to forget the search for the book, and the two of them remembered that they were about to turn around, but they heard a "squeak", and the door of the store was pushed open again, but no one entered the door. Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an were very puzzled.

Looking back to Zuoqiu, I saw that he was calm as usual, lowering his head and fiddling with the golden abacus, and said, "Why did you come back so early today?" A voice outside the door replied: "The sky changed suddenly, the rain was pouring, and there were few pedestrians in the streets and alleys, so I returned early." The two of them followed the sound and looked at him, but they only heard his voice, but did not see him.

When I looked at it again, a child-like person walked in outside the door, dressed in a coarse cloth shirt, tattered, wearing straw sandals, holding a broken bowl, holding a bamboo cane, dressed as a flower child. It's just that it's really surprising how this impoverished little Hanako got in touch with this old ghost shopkeeper who doesn't forget to eat.

What is even more shocking is that the streets and alleys outside the door are filled with white fog, heavy rain pours, the sound of the ground, and the water is getting deeper. It was so pouring rain that the little Hanako didn't have any rain on her body, as if she was walking in the middle of a rainless street.

The raindrops were slanting, and before they could touch the little Hanako, they turned sharply and avoided him, so that they could not wet his clothes. It is as if the body is wrapped in true qi and forced the rain away. Dao Xueke saw it in his eyes and thought in his heart: "This person is so young, and his skills are so profound. Not only can the true qi be released, but the true qi released can be controlled so smoothly and evenly one inch outside the body, which is really respectable and terrifying. ”

And although Chu Qing'an had the same idea as Dao Xueke, the eyes of the little flower child were burning. By the time the little beggar entered the house, their eyes were round. The little beggar stepped into the house with both feet, but did not leave a trace of half a footprint, and Hugh said that the mud and rain were not even a speck of dust. When he got closer, the little beggar smiled and said, "But there are guests." ”

"That's a once-in-a-century guest!" Zuoqiu replied with a smile as he leaned behind the counter. It's hard to believe that this frowning eyebrow and ugly look in front of him, but the richly dressed old guy can have anything to do with the sloppy little beggar. In fact, to say that the little beggar is sloppy, it is really wronged. Although his clothes were tattered, his whole body was clean and clean, without mud stains, and his face was smooth and delicate, but his eyes were blank, and he seemed to be a blind child.

Chu Qing'an was silent, just looked at it attentively, and thought in his mind: "Why is this person so familiar, where do you seem to have seen it?" It wasn't until Dao Xueke lightly touched her wrist that she came back to her senses and couldn't help but let out a snort. The sound like a needle falling to the ground was heard by the little beggar, tilted his head slightly, spread his smile, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Miss Chu, and the one next to her should be Xue Gongzi." ”

"How do you know the identities of the two of us!" Dao Xueke and Chu Qing'an couldn't help but be shocked, the little beggar was blind, he had never seen the two of them since he entered the house, and the two had not talked or spoke, and Zuoqiu had not named the identities of the two, this little beggar could guess that it was really a god. And Chu Qing'an also felt that this person was becoming more and more familiar, but he couldn't remember it, until the little beggar smiled and said, "Farewell to Luoyan Mansion, Miss Chu is okay?"

Chu Qing'an suddenly realized: "I remember, you were the little beggar who begged in Luoyan Mansion that day? How did you come to Yaoye Mansion and still know my name? What did you mean by what you said that day?"
