Tomb Robbers: Chapter 9: Tanabata gifts
Just as I was about to make a second one, the sky suddenly changed.
The three of them stood here, and although they couldn't see what was happening on the ground in the distance, they could see the changes in the sky clearly.
The scenery of Tianxian is the "mountain mirage" that appeared some time ago.
The ancient city and people in the mirage, as I saw it last time, have not changed at all, as if the scene has reappeared.
"This is an ominous sign!"
One night, wearing a nightgown, came to the terrace, and also saw the wonder of the sky, and said to everyone, "This is an ominous omen."
"Brother, are you awake?"
"It was the Great Ghost who woke me up! It felt the powerful and mysterious power of that Mountain Mirage!"
"Why do you say this is an ominous sign?"
"For Datang, any powerful and mysterious country is a 'threat'! This 'mountain market' is not the first time it has appeared, it has appeared more than a dozen times in the six years I have been in Chang'an! Compared with the last time it appeared after the yellow sand, I feel that its appearance this time is even more powerful! The frequency of its appearance is also getting higher and higher!"
"What the hell is this?"
Yixi shook his head, "I don't know! I only know that this wonder can only be seen near Chang'an." I think this is 'the sword has a point, but the one who comes is not good'!"
Lin Chen patted his chest and said that as long as there are three Yin and Yang officials in Datang to protect Chang'an, even if there are any demons and monsters, they will not want to hurt half a hair of our emperor and the people of Chang'an!
"I hope so......"
As soon as he finished speaking, after a while, the "mountain mirage" in the sky drifted away with the wind and disappeared without a trace.
Everyone returned to the house, Yixi, Lin Chen and the shepherd boy sat on the terrace, the girl made tea for the three of them, Lin Chen saw that Yiyi returned to the room, and whispered to Yixi: "Brother Yixi, are you okay?"
Yiyi also replied softly, "I'm fine."
Once he ran out with a wooden bowl planted with "chaos", "I can't get the sun in the house, so I can dry here!"
Once he put the wooden bowl on the side of the terrace where the sun could get it, "I didn't think it could grow so fast overnight!"
Yiyi gave everyone a look, signaling that last night's events could not be told to the first day, and everyone understood.
Once approached the tea table, "Girl, make me a cup too!"
The girl smiled, "Okay!"
Yixi shrugged his shoulders, and the "big ghost" jumped off Yixi's shoulder and crawled under the "Chaos" flower, and it tentatively touched the bud of the flower a few times with its front paws, just like a cat teasing the tail grass, which was very cute and interesting.
As soon as I picked up the tea, I took a few sips, and looked at this interesting picture, smiling, so uncomfortable.
Only a few others have different worries in their hearts.
During the few days of staying in Yixi, he diligently followed his brother to learn the Yin-Yang Dao method, and Lin Chen was also playing almost here, seeing that there were only a few days left before the "Yin-Yang Provincial Conference" was held, he packed his luggage, said goodbye to Lin Chen overnight, and was about to rush back to Chang'an City.
Yiyi Before leaving, he specially admonished a few words, "It is not difficult to enter the teacher assessment of the Yin and Yang officials of the conference, you have to treat it with a normal heart! Time is pressing, although you have not learned much in the past few days, you can barely cope with the assessment! In addition, you must pay attention to safety! If you can't fight, you can run, you know?"
"Oh, brother, why are you as nagging as your mother, I'll take care of myself!"
"Well, that's good, that's good, and ......."
I wanted to talk and stopped, but in the end, I took out a bag from my sleeve and handed it to Yichao, "Don't open it until you have to!"
"Brother, what's in here?" was just about to see what was in the bag, but was stopped overnight.
"Don't open it until you have to!"
Once a little disappointed, he put the bag in his bag and was about to leave, "Got it! Brother, then let's go! Everyone, say goodbye!"
Lin Chen also said goodbye to everyone, "Brother Yixi, Brother Zhang, girl, let's go!"
Yixi waved his hand, stood in front of the door, and saw Lin Chen and the two of them leave.
At this time, the girl said to Yixi: "Master, you still gave the bag to the son of a dynasty after all!"
"yes!"
"Then in the past few days, will the prince fall into the "beast gluttony" again?"
"Don't worry! I have already absorbed most of my Dao power into Chaos last night, and I guess I should be able to hold out until it recovers its true form!
Seeing that the two were gone, he went back to the house overnight, replaced the tea with wine, and drank it in a big gulp.
Once returned to Chang'an with Lin Chen, because it was getting late, he stayed in the Lin Mansion for one night.
On the second day, he had to say goodbye to Lin Chen and go to report to the "Yin Yang Provincial Ministry".
"I wish a brother a success!"
"Haha, okay! Thank you, Brother Lin Chen! Then I'll take my leave!"
After a few brief greetings in front of the Lin Mansion, the two left the Lin Mansion and rushed to the "Yin Yang Provincial Ministry".
In a tea stall not far from the door of the Lin Mansion, there were two young men dressed as people, who kept looking towards the Lin Mansion, and when they saw that they had come out of the Lin Mansion, they got up and stepped forward, and one of them walked in front and stopped the Mansion.
"Ma Gongzi, please stay!"
Once I saw that the person in front of me was a little familiar, but I couldn't say the name, so I had to return with questions: "How does this brother know that my surname is Ma?"
"You don't recognize me so soon?"
"Brother, are you?"
"What brother?
He frowned, seeing that this person was familiar, but he really couldn't guess who it was.
The man was full of doubts when he saw it, and he didn't want to tease him anymore, "Don't you know if you recognize me, look at my master again, can you recognize me?"
The man half-shifted, revealing the man standing behind him.
After a while, he looked over, and the person behind him was also a handsome, young man dressed as a young man.
However, he still saw through this person's identity at a glance.
"Qingyang!"
It's someone you've ever been familiar with!
"Why are you here? Also, you're Qingyang's maid!"
That's right! This is the county lord of Qingyang and her personal maid!
"You can be quiet! The county lord and I finally managed to sneak out, don't make a loud announcement, it's noticeable!"
He lowered his voice, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Qingyang looked around, and seeing that no one noticed them, he also lowered his voice, "This is not the place to talk, I booked a room in a nearby teahouse, and I'll talk about it when I get there!"
Once they followed Qingyang and them to the tea room, the maid gave the store a bag of broken silver, and explained that no one should be allowed to approach here.
"Why are you here?"
"The county lord misses you......"
Qingyang immediately interrupted, "Nonsense! If you talk nonsense, I'll slap your mouth!"
However, the awkward atmosphere began!
Once and Qingyang didn't dare to look directly at each other, the scene was cold for a long time, and the two sat down.
Seeing this, the maid was still not afraid of "death", she knew the county lord, she knew what the county lord was thinking, but she didn't dare to speak. So, she had to help break the awkward atmosphere.
"Do you know what day it is?"
"Today, what day is it?"
"July 7th!"
"July seventh?"
I was confused.
"Today is Tanabata! You're really an elm head!"
Seeing that he was so uninteresting, Qingyang couldn't help but speak.
Only then did he come back to his senses, "It turned out to be Tanabata! I thought it was an important day!"
When Qingyang heard this, he slapped the table angrily, which really startled the others.
"What do you mean by 'what do you think is an important day'? I still ran out of the palace secretly at the risk of danger!"
He didn't know what he said wrong, and he didn't know why Qingyang got angry, so he had to follow Qingyang's words, "Why did you sneak out?"
Qingyang was so angry that he turned his face away, thinking that his hot face had been attached to his cold buttocks, and he didn't say a word.
The maid hurriedly played the round, "Ma Gongzi doesn't know anything! Since the last time the county lord was in distress in the "Black Wind Ridge", fortunately he was rescued by Lord "Red Phoenix", and he was able to come back safely. The emperor was afraid that the county lord would go out of the palace again, so he ordered that the county lord should not be allowed to leave the palace for half a step. However, because today the county lord received a report from the spies, saying that Ma Gongzi had returned to the Lin Mansion, the county lord thought that today was Qixi Festival, so he dared to disobey the emperor's order, and secretly ran out in disguise, just to see the prince!"
Once he understood the reason for the matter, he tried to coax Qingyang, but he didn't know how to speak.
Fortunately, the maid was an understanding person, and she pushed Qingyang, "County Lord, don't you have a gift for Ma Gongzi?"
"Hmph! I don't want to give it to him now!"
Speaking of gifts, he suddenly remembered that he also had something to give to Qingyang, so he hurriedly took out that thing from his luggage.
Once handed the two grass swallows that he had learned to weave with Lao Zhang to Qingyang, "I made this out of grass leaves, give one to me!"
Qingyang squinted at Cao Yan, and most of his anger disappeared, but he still ignored it for the sake of face.
The maid pushed the hand of the first day, and asked him to coax the county lord again, and once took the grass swallow, pulled the mechanism, and the grass swallow can flap its wings, puff, puff.
"Look, its wings can still move!
Once he stood in front of Qingyang's eyes, playing with the grass swallow in his hand, Qingyang finally laughed.
Seeing her smile, he was relieved, "This is only for you." ”
Qingyang saw that there were two grass swallows in one day, but he gave one to himself, so he asked Yichao: "Then do you want to give the other one to other girls too?"
"Where do you want to go? I'm going to keep this one! These two herbs are a pair, the female gives it, and the male gives it to me! Do you want it? I'll take it back if you don't want it!"
"Who says I don't want it!"
Qingyang snatched the grass swallow from Yichao's hand, and wanted to teach her how to play with this grass swallow, everyone could see that Qingyang's heart was happy.
"By the way, county lord, don't you still have a gift for Ma Gongzi?"
The maid reminded Qingyang, and then took out a rectangular wooden box from the box and handed it to Qingyang.
Qingyang held the wooden box and handed it to Yichao.
"Well, this is for you!"
"What is this?"
"Open it and take a look!"
Once untied the rope attached to the box, the lid of the wooden box was opened.
It turned out that the box contained a wooden sword!
"Such a small wooden sword?"
Once he took out the wooden sword, it was as long as his own arm, and it was as long as half of his arm.
"This is carved by the best carpenter in the country, don't underestimate it!"
Once I took a closer look at this wooden sword, sure enough, although this wooden sword is small, but it is carved in large and small sizes, very exquisite, and it is really the hand of a famous craftsman!
The spine of the sword is like a fish backbone, the back of the sword is embossed with fish scale patterns, the sword grid is a six-petal peach blossom pattern, the end of the sword handle is also hung with a sword spike, the sword spike is also a pattern of six-petal flowers woven by a red knot, the center of the stamen is woven with a small pink jade, and the jade is engraved with a word "Chao".
The blade, blade, and tip of this sword are not open, and it looks like an ornament, and it has no lethal power.
