Chapter 23: The Broken Sword

After getting the benefits, Li Ji looked forward to the Lantern Festival more and more. It's no longer the same as before, at least. That prize is something to be sure to look at. People must have a bottom line, once plagiarism has the first time, then the second time, the third time is logical.

As the saying goes, if you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you can't intentionally plant willows and willows, when Li Ji pays attention to the prizes, he basically gains disappointment, and there are precious prizes, but they have nothing to do with Taoism. In Li Ji's opinion, the few poems in his mind are not comparable to ordinary yellow and white things, so he didn't make any more moves.

Time passes slowly, and there is nothing new to see more lanterns in the lantern shed, and the same is true for gifts, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, jade stones, pearls and jade, nothing more than that. There is no novelty in the lamp, no surprises in the ceremony, but there are many noble ladies who are exaggerated and pretentious, but fortunately, there are countless gentlemen who are greedy for money and have a beard and shoot horses.

When the embankment came to an end, Li Ji turned back the same way, and at this time he had realized that there seemed to be someone following behind him, and his intentions were unknown. I think that my family is new to the house, and there are no friends and enemies in Xichang City, and what can make the other party fall in love is nothing more than that Dao Jian. The lantern will be crowded, unable to run fast, and the other party is unlikely to start on this occasion, it is estimated that leaving the lantern will go back to the city for a long time is a good place to do things. Li Ji pretended not to know, and walked around all the way, but he no longer put his mind on gifts.

The way was blocked in front, it seemed that someone was arguing, Li Ji was not in a hurry, he stood outside the crowd and waited, and a few scholars around him talked about the cause of the incident.

"This week's family is really hateful, such a beautiful day, to use those pickled business affairs to entangle, so rude, really insulting... ”

"Hey, his father Xichang gave him the nickname Zhou Papi, there is a father like this, and his son can imagine it, but it is difficult for the Wei family to bear such a large family business alone, it is not easy... ”

"You pity her so much, it's better to marry back, it's also a big family business... A crowd burst into laughter.

"In fact, in the so-called business dispute, how can there be rules and regulations that are right or wrong? If you have strength and background, you can hold on, and the background will fall, and the natural tree will fall and people will be scattered. At that time, his father was lucky to enter Xuanyuan, and the family immediately flourished, based on the middle household, and became a wealthy family in Xichang in just a few years, which aroused the envy of countless people, that is, the Qixia faction had to bow their heads and ears, and they did not dare to provoke easily. . . ”

"Yes, it's a pity that the blessings and misfortunes are relied on, and only one person can achieve the Tao How can the family be long-term? You see that in Xichang City, which wealthy family does not have hundreds of years of heritage? Look at this Wei family, the foundation is shallow, his father and others fought with a sword and died, the family situation immediately plummeted, and the family business is only supported by a young lady, why bother? . . ”

"It's a pity that the little lady Wei, although her body and appearance are a little unbearable, but her temperament is similar to her father, and she is so strong, but unfortunately she has no chance to enter the Tao... ”

"I heard the blind man in the south of the city say, this little lady of the Wei family is a life-threatening person, not to mention that her father died in a sword fight, just say that she was a childhood sweetheart, and the princess Wang Xiaoxiang, who was married to her fingertips, has not abandoned her all these years, right? ”

"Who will provoke her? But her body is like a rough woman in the country, as far as her assets are concerned, maybe she will be surnamed Zhou one day, what is the plan?"

Li Ji listened helplessly on the side, and probably heard that the lady of the Wei family in the lamp shed in front was being bullied by the Zhou family, and it was estimated that it was nothing more than some property disputes such as Zhuangzi, houses, and shops. It's just that this week, the family is still so aggressive at the June Lantern Festival Wei Xiaoniang's coming-of-age ceremony, which is shameful. Of course, he didn't want to fight injustice, there are many injustices in the world, and the gods can't control it, let alone a stranger. How much belly to eat, how much to eat, really like the protagonist in the novel brainless character to act, how many lives are not enough to die.

After a while, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the troublemakers probably left, Li Ji moved with the flow of people, and when he passed by the lantern shed, he couldn't help but glance at Wei Xiaoniang a few times, this look was completely different from what those scholars said. The little lady of the Wei family has fair skin, long green hair, and what is impressive is a pair of narrow and charming eyes, which makes Li Ji immediately think of the famous movie stars Wu Qianlian and Lin Yilian in his previous life, all of whom are the types he likes. What makes many scholars unbearable is mainly her figure, this world, whether it is Nanli or Zheng Guo, or perhaps the entire continent, is about the popular type of thin and slender, and walks with a curling style, but the Wei family lady is plump, plump does not look like a girl of this age, so the scholars describe her as a village woman. But Li Ji's aesthetics are completely different from this world, in his opinion, this is completely a superb, after more than a year, this is the first time he looks at a woman with the eyes of a woman.

But this still can't be the reason for staying here, there are many women, they belong to the type he likes, and they are indispensable, Yan Jin's self-control ability is Li Ji's pride. What really stopped him was his partner, his closest comrade-in-arms, Epee.

The heavy sword has no edge, no edge is the name Li Ji gave it, the name is like its shape, this guy is too hard, Li Ji has spent a lot of effort to sharpen the tip of the sword since the crossing, as for the entire blade surface, it is almost impossible. In the year since Wu Feng crossed over, he gradually had an inexplicable and indescribable connection with him, especially when he was killing, he seemed to be able to feel the excitement of this sword, but he never took it too seriously.

Just now, as he walked past the light shed, he once again felt Wu Feng's excitement, more intense than ever before, as if the entire sword body was being shaken, and this time, he clearly understood Wu Feng's unusualness. Li Ji walked back and forth three times in front of Wei Xiaoniangzi's lantern shed, and he was sure that when he was less than a zhang away from the lantern shed, the heavy sword Wufeng would definitely react.

With curiosity, Li Ji walked to the front of the lantern shed, and his eyes quickly fell on a broken sword less than a foot on the case, yes, it is it...

"This sword, but it's a prize?" Li Ji said flatly.

"Yes, if you would like to write a poem, then it is. Wei Xiaoniang said in a low voice, her voice was a little hoarse, "You can't scribble, you have to take a fancy to me... ”

"Can I pick it up and take a look?" asked Li Ji.

"Well, although many people don't look down on it, it's broken, and it's not worth a few bucks. Wei Xiaoniang's eyes lit up, "But it's my father's sword, it's a flying sword... ”

Li Ji's heart was shocked, he understood that this sword should also be a Taoist object, and it was obtained by her father from that place called Xuanyuan. Since it is a Taoist thing, it must be taken down.

"What your father left behind, why did you take it as a gift? You know, it should be important to you... ”

"My father once promised me that he would exchange a flying sword for the best poem for me at my ceremony... There were tears in the little lady's eyes, "But he went out to travel and compete with people, but... The broken sword was sent back by one of my father's fellow disciples, who said that his father had left nothing but this sword... ”

"I love this sword. Li Ji nodded and said, "I will write a poem for you, if you like it, this sword will be mine, okay?"

"Okay... ”
