Chapter 2 (2)
Chu Menglin pondered: "In other words, anything is possible, maybe the appearance is very ordinary, and it has not attracted our attention. It may be the abacus on the second table of the shopkeeper, or it may be the wine glass in my hand now......" Nangong Xue smiled: "In my opinion, it may be a pair of earrings with exquisite workmanship." Chu Menglin's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands and said, "Xue'er, what you said is very true, maybe it's a jade bracelet!" The two of them had turned the topic to their favorite ornaments, Jiang Yanchen could only hear it crying and laughing, and said to Li Yijie: "What about Brother Li's opinion?"
Li Yijie said: "I just guess that since this thing is called 'Broken Soul Tears', it must be a sad thing." Jiang Yanchen snorted and groaned. Li Yijie said again: "Look, it won't be a coffin, right? It won't be a farewell book written by a pair of infatuated men and women with tears, right?" Jiang Yanchen listened to his analysis at the beginning, which was very reasonable, but he didn't want to talk about it later, but he said sullenly: "I don't think so." ”
Chu Menglin and Nangong Xue talked very quickly, and immediately went to the jade shop to see what was going on. Jiang Yanchen said: "Is it a jade shop? Although the words are beautiful, I am afraid that they will leave their business behind." Li Yijie sighed: "That can't be helped, the two of us will 'sacrifice our lives to accompany the woman'!" Jiang Yanchen didn't answer, just take a step.
As soon as he came out of the wine shop, he saw a person dressed in the costume of the Shadow Sect, probing his brain, as if he had something important to report. Jiang Yanchen pondered for a moment, and whispered a few words to Chu Menglin who followed, Chu Menglin bowed slightly, turned her head and smiled: "Xue'er, Brother Li, let's go!" quickly pulled the two into a jade shop not far away, and Jiang Yanchen walked in front of the Shadow Worship Cultist.
The sectist bowed down and said, "My subordinates see the young master!" Jiang Yanchen said coldly: "Excuse me, what's the matter?" The sect leader said: "The sect leader already knows that the young master and the young lady have not obtained soul tears on this trip, so he ordered his subordinates to secretly investigate. The subordinates have received reliable news, two days later, the head of Wudang Linkong Dao will celebrate his 70th birthday, and the martial arts heroes will gather at the top of Wudang Mountain to celebrate his birthday, and his disciple Jueyan will offer the Broken Soul Tears as a birthday gift. ”
Jiang Yanchen sneered: "Wudang faction, but what it turned out to be that thief shouting to catch a thief! You let the sect leader rest assured that this time Meng Lin and I will definitely live up to his trust." The disciple said, "Yes!" If the young master has nothing else to do, his subordinates will go back to resume their lives first, and I wish the young master and the young lady a victory, and they will be successful!" As he spoke, the figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Jiang Yanchen walked into the jade shop and saw Chu Menglin and Nangong Xue pestering Li Yijie, and asked what kind of jewelry the two wore to look good. Li Yijie cried out bitterly, and when he saw Jiang Yanchen turn around, as if he had seen a savior, he said happily: "Yanchen, where have you been? For the first time, I know that they are more difficult to deal with than the disciples of the Kunlun and Kongtong factions combined!"
Jiang Yanchen didn't answer, but only relayed the news he had just gotten. Nangong Xue muttered: "The internal intelligence of the Wudang faction, it is impossible for that Dao Master not to know, since he is deliberately pretending, it seems that he will not take the initiative to take the initiative." Master told us that Wudang Xiang is as famous as Shaolin, and it is one of the best schools in the rivers and lakes, and the defense must be extremely strict. We have no choice but to have a head-on conflict with Wudang, so we have to go up the mountain and steal it back, but this time we have become a veritable 'thief'!"
Jiang Yanchen said: "That's not necessary, the birthday of the head of Wudang, how can we not give a big gift." Chu Menglin said: "I have a clever plan, they don't know me and Jiang ...... Cousin, we mixed in with those people and went straight up the mountain. The two of you can pretend to be a pair of rich children who have a marriage contract, but Xue'er's father is extremely stubborn, and he insists that Brother Li take the Soul Breaking Tears as a dowry, so you have no choice but to consult with the head of Wudang. I hope that his old man will be merciful and not ruin the lifelong happiness of a pair of lovers!" Nangong Xue heard that she was going to pretend to be an unmarried couple with Li Yijie, and immediately blushed.
Li Yijie smiled bitterly: "Meng Lin, if you have this ability, let's go to the overpass to tell stories, and you can also make a living for yourself." Chu Menglin smiled: "It's so useless! Hey, wait a while, I'll go get some clothes for you." Li Yijie advised: "Just take the clothes, don't hurt innocent people." Chu Menglin stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "You know everything about us!
Two days later, the top of Wudang Mountain was indeed full of guests, and it was very lively. The chief of the Linkong Dao was dressed in a white robe, with a white beard and white hair, which made people feel quite "fairy wind bones", he showed kindness and smiles, and greeted the heroes from all walks of life one by one. After a few firecrackers, everyone said in unison: "I wish Linkong Dao a long blessing like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan!" Linkong said: "All friends are willing to appreciate their faces to participate in the poor Dao birthday feast, it is an honor, so let's sit down!"
Jiang Yanchen and Chu Menglin also found a remote table to sit down, Chu Menglin looked around, and said, "This Wudang boss is so pompous! He was a little sad to say that.
Jiang Yanchen didn't pay attention to it, just paid attention to it, and all the guests had already presented birthday gifts. The Shaolin sect Tongzen master sent a pair of bronze Arhat statues, thanked him in the air, and some disciples took it and retreated. The head of Kongtong gave a treasure bead and said: "This is what I got when I traveled to the Western Regions in my early years, and I can keep it on my body to protect against all kinds of poisons." "He Zhengxian, the head of Kunlun, hired a dragon and lion dance team, which was obviously carefully trained and danced beautifully. The gifts of the heroes are all things that Chu Menglin has never seen before, and she can watch them with relish.
Not long after the birthday gift has been sent away, when a Taoist priest in Wudang is holding a jade Guanyin of the Emei faction back to the room, the head of Kongtong suddenly said: "Slowly, at the inferior point of the little courtesy, it is not enough to ascend to the hall of elegance, and it is not possible to go to the eyes of the Taoist chief." Linkong said: "How do you say this?" The head of Kongtong snorted coldly: "We have all heard that at the Dao Longevity Feast, the high-ranking disciples of your sect will offer you the soul-breaking tears. It's really hard for the high apprentice to bother so much about the master's birthday!"
Jue Yan stepped forward with a box and said, "Yes, I really want to dedicate it to the master! besides his old man, who else deserves to enjoy this martial arts treasure?" Lin Kong smiled and took it, Chu Menglin and everyone widened their eyes, wanting to see what the Soul Breaking Tears were.
Linkong let out a long sigh and slowly opened the box. Everyone's eyes were not instantaneous, but they saw that among them was an emerald green short sword, exquisitely worked, its wax like a leaf, with a ridged middle ridge, until it extended from the end to a round stem. The head of the Emei faction suddenly said: "I have heard that this thing has fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect since the Shadowless Villa was destroyed, how can it be in the hands of the Ling Gao disciples now?"
Jue Yan calmly responded: "After the little nephew saw those demon demons, he was determined to die in their hands, but also to promote the righteous path of the rivers and lakes, who knew that they were so vulnerable, and then handed over the soul tears and begged me to spare my life. Master always taught us to be compassionate, and after teaching them a lesson from my little nephew, he told them not to do any more bad things, and then let them go. Chu Menglin said in a low voice: "Phew, this bull's nose is really shameless, and he dares to say it so righteously and awe-inspiring when he does that petty theft." If we are taught, let's see who teaches whom!"
The head of Kongtong sneered: "Why do you want to make such wild remarks? If the Demon Sect is really so incompetent, but it has bullied us for many years, is it possible that we are not as good as a disciple of the Wudang Sect with so many masters here? The head of the Linkong Dao is too much to put gold on his face! If you are so powerful, why didn't you destroy the Demon Sect and eliminate the harm for the martial arts......?"
Suddenly, I heard a humane: "The birthday of the head of Wudang is really gratifying, but the soul-breaking tears, this young master has to be taken away today!" After finishing speaking, two people walked in from the mountain gate, it was Li Yijie and Nangong Xue, the two of them wore the brocade clothes stolen by Chu Menglin, and they were indeed very rich sons. He Zhengxian sneered: "It turns out that the Wudang faction has close contacts with the government?" Jue Yan said: "Nonsense!" He Zhengxian said angrily: "The old man is older than you in terms of seniority, you dare to talk to me like this, so you don't know how to respect the teacher, this is also what your master taught?"
Ju Yan was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, turned to Li Yijie and said: "My Wudang faction has nothing to do with the government, and besides, it is rude to rob the birthday gift above the birthday feast. If you two sincerely wish you a birthday, we will treat yourself as a good student, if you deliberately make trouble, we will not be polite, then go down the mountain!" he did not regard them as real people in the government, but secretly suspected that he was bribed by the head of Kongtong, and deliberately let the master not get off the stage in public.
Li Yijie shook his head and sighed: "It is true that I sincerely wish my birthday, but I have to take away the soul tears, which is related to the lifelong happiness of the two of us, and I can't be ambiguous." Repeat Chu Menglin's words at the moment. He practiced this passage repeatedly under the supervision of several people, and Fang spoke it cleanly in front of the audience today.
Chu Menglin laughed secretly, poked her head over and whispered to Jiang Yanchen: "It turns out that Brother Li can also perform so well, if he goes to perform in the future, he will tearfully tell some stories about leaving his hometown, but it will also be interesting!" Jiang Yanchen snorted coldly, noncommittal. Chu Menglin was bored and sat back in place silently.
Lin Kong was silent for a long time, his sharp gaze swept over, and he said lightly: "If the two of you want only this sword, you can take it at any time." The head of Emei said angrily: "The Broken Soul Tear is a martial arts thing, how can it be handed over to the government casually? Although your apprentice wants to dedicate it to you, we haven't agreed yet!" Linkong sighed: "You don't need to be suspicious anymore, Poor Dao will tell the truth, this thing is not a Broken Soul Tear at all!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
It was still the head of Kongtong who reacted, and sneered: "Why is the Taoist chief in the old suspicion array? We respect you as a senior master, but now how can you talk nonsense? Does the Wudang faction really want to swallow this treasure without conscience?"
Lin Kong said: "The Broken Soul Tear is originally a piece of jade, with a small form, a crystal clear body, and a red glow, named because it resembles teardrops. This also has a lot to do with the extreme grief in his heart when Prince Heshuozhuang passed this thing, alas, it is all old things, so don't mention it at this time!" He Zhengxian took a step forward and said: "You say no, isn't it? Such a big thing, how can you rely on your words to make a rash assertion? Is it true that our heroes of all factions are all blind people?"
Li Yijie heard his master mention the deeds of the chief of the Linkong Dao since he was a child, and he decided that he was indeed a great hero, and he admired him very much. At this moment, on top of his birthday feast, everyone was clearly provoking because of the Broken Soul Tears, and they were already unhappy in their hearts, and they interjected at the moment: "Yes, the words of one side are not credible, how can the seniors know that the gift offered by the Absolute Flame Dao Brother must be the Broken Soul Tears? Dare to ask everyone present, who has really seen this thing? Since you believe what a Xiaodao said so much, why do you refuse to believe the respected Linkong Dao Chief?"
Jue Yan suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Master, the disciple deserves to die. The disciple thought that the master was the Taishan Beidou of today's martial arts, and it was only fitting that the soul tears would be kept by the master, but after a few days of searching, there was still no trace of the thing. Master's birthday is approaching, and there is no longer any way to delay it, so I thought I was clever and made this decision, and made this sword in the armory shop, and used it as a soul-breaking tear, asking Master for forgiveness!" ”
