Chapter 140: The Mystery of the House
Seeing that Li Xuan's expression was a little nervous, Liu Zhi couldn't help but smile and comforted: "Li Gongzi, don't be nervous, there is Miss Rou here, you can be safe." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Li Xuan nodded and said secretly: "Why am I nervous...... Since I have cultivated the Treasure Source Divine Skill, I often feel that my anti-interference ability is extremely strong, and I rarely blush and heartbeat, but now I am a little at a loss when facing people like Miss Rou...... Alas...... Perhaps, no matter who is in front of her, it will inevitably be like this!"
Miss Rou stretched out one finger and tried it on Li Xuan's wrist, and said strangely: "How can you not get in the way!" If it weren't for the special internal breath in your body to protect the dantian from being harmed by the return of internal breath like crazy, I'm afraid your meridians would have been destroyed long ago...... It's okay now, it's just that Ren Du's second pulse is injured, and he can recuperate for a few days with peace of mind, his life can be saved, and his martial arts can be restored. β
Li Xuanqi said: "Will it be raised for a few days! How long is that?"
Miss Rou thought for a moment and said, "You have an excellent foundation of internal strength, and your body is comparable to that of ordinary people. Although he has not yet reached the point of refining refined steel, if he calms down, his injuries will heal in less than a year. If you can continue to practice for about ten years, your skills will definitely be successful. Li Xuan exclaimed: "It will take a year to restore the second lineage of Rendu, then why don't I stay in the villa for a long time?" Hurriedly shook his hand and said: "This is not good!" Hearing this, Miss Rou said: "You don't have to start prevaricating now. I'll give you time to calm down and think about it. It's up to you to decide which is more important. As she spoke, she saw that Li Xuan's expression was as usual, and she was even able to stand up, although she was secretly surprised in her heart, she said slowly and quietly: "If you feel fine, can you go with me?" Li Xuan nodded and followed Miss Rou out of the house.
The two of them walked slowly through the garden and up the stone steps to the tallest house in the village. Walking all the way, Li Xuan secretly observed, and saw the name of the garden where Shicai was lying sick: Xiangzang Garden. Previously, Liu Zhi said that there were no rooms for male guests in the villa, and that he lived in Sister Bamboo's house when he was sick. It seems that this incense garden is where the eight sisters in the Eight Extremes Taihe Array stayed.
Li Xuan saw that Miss Rou was walking in front of him, although her feet were slow, not in a hurry or impatient, but in fact, she was walking very fast. He looked at her snow-white hair and said secretly: "I saw her hair black earlier, but now why has her hair turned gray in a few days?"
Miss Rou naturally didn't know that Li Xuan was pondering why her hair turned white like snow. She walked to the stone steps and turned to the platform, slowly turned around and asked, "You are a young man who can calm down!
When Li Xuan heard this, he sighed: "Of course there are questions, and there are many of them. But if you don't want to say, it's useless for me to ask. If you want to solve your doubts, even if I don't ask, you will tell me...... You said that if you want me to walk with you, don't you give me a solution?"
Miss Rou listened, smiled and nodded, "You are very smart, and your inference is indeed very accurate." Come, follow me to the house, and everything will be free. She said, pointing to the tallest house not far in front of her, her expression became solemn, and she said lightly: "The world is impermanent, but there is reincarnation." Li Gongzi, do you believe in fate, do you believe that the underworld has its own destiny?" Li Xuan was slightly stunned, not knowing the meaning of his words, and was thinking about how to answer, when he saw that Miss Rou had already drifted away like a fairy.
Pushing open the tall door, Li Xuan saw that the furnishings in the extremely simple and elegant room were nothing different except for the seats and tea sets used daily. was slightly disappointed, but was deeply attracted by the color painting scroll of a strange man fighting dragon hanging on the wall facing him. In the painting, the clumsy Qihan is holding a double sword, even though he is trapped by the cirrus clouds and rain of the dragon, he still fights bravely.
Miss Rou saw that Li Xuan was fascinated and asked, "Do you know how to paint?" Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said, "The younger generation can't talk about painting, but only knows a little about fur." Lady Rou said: "Actually, the more people who seem to understand and don't understand, the more they can see the extraordinary." You can give it a comment. Li Xuan groaned: "I can't talk about the evaluation...... However, the younger generation thinks that if the strange man in the painting is still in the world, he must be a strange person. You see him fighting with the dragon, taking a leap forward, no matter his spiritual temperament or his moves, he is outstanding, isn't it the style of a grandmaster!" Lady Rou sighed softly: "Your vision is indeed accurate. The person in the painting is an extraordinary person, and this picture is also the artist's exquisite technique of hooking, halberd and sword, which perfectly presents his sinister momentum and indomitable and proud spirit according to the scene at that time. β
Li Xuan nodded, and couldn't help but be surprised when he took a closer look at the payment. It turned out that this painting was actually from the pen of Zhang Sengqiu, a famous painter for a long time in the Southern Dynasty. Seeing Li Xuan's surprised expression, Miss Rou smiled faintly and said, "The person in the picture is actually the first generation of the village's owner, Shi Feiyang's ancestor. Without waiting for Li Xuan to respond, she said: "Since the first generation of the village was established, it has gone through three generations, and I can only barely be regarded as the fourth generation. Li Xuan said: "Ancestor, the first generation of the owner is you......" Miss Rou said lightly: "Direct relatives." Seeing Li Xuan nodded, he pointed to a Nanzhu table in the corner of the room and said, "I'll talk about these words later." Do you see if those things are yours?" Li Xuan followed the direction pointed by Miss Rou, and saw a letter, a bronze medal, and two ancient swords with different shapes on Nanzhu's table, and couldn't help but exclaim: "These things are mine, how can they be here?" It turned out that the letter and bronze medal placed on the table were the things that Shen Wuxing gave him before he died, and the two ancient swords were also the Devil May Cry Sword and the Divine Dance Blade that Li Xuan carried.
Miss Rou nodded and said, "Since it is yours, it will return to its original owner." β
Li Xuan didn't put away a few things, looked at them from a distance, and asked, "Where is the wooden comb...... Was it lost, or was it taken away by Miss Su?" Miss Rou smiled slightly: "Originally, the cigarette girl wanted to wait for you to get here before taking it away, but she got a message from her sister and was anxious to find her news, and she was also worried that you would not give her the wooden comb, so she came to cut it first." Li Xuan laughed when he heard this: "Miss Su underestimated me too much. The wooden comb was Mr. Shen's beloved thing, and Miss Su was the owner of this beloved thing. If she wants to take her, what reason will I have not to agree to her......! The wooden comb was returned to her hand, and the object was returned to its rightful owner. β
Seeing that he looked bold, without the slightest pretense, Miss Rou secretly approved, but said lightly: "Before the cigarette girl leaves, please tell you." In the future, if you send anything, just command. Even if she is thousands of miles away, as long as she has a life, she will go to the appointment. Alas, the cigarette girl is in a hurry, I don't know when I can return to the villa, it seems that you can only see you in the rivers and lakes!"
Li Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't dare to send juniors." It's just that if you need her help, you may be able to beg for help. β
Miss Rou nodded and said, "These are all afterwords, and we will see people's hearts in the future...... Let me ask you, do you wonder why after you arrived at the villa, although I set up obstacles for you, I didn't hurt you, and I also helped you practice martial arts?"
Li Xuan nodded when he heard this, and said in his heart: "I didn't ask her, but she asked me in turn." Anyway, I finally got to the point. In that case, I'll hear what she has to say. Miss Rou didn't move, and said slowly: "This is the fate I mentioned earlier. As he spoke, he reached out and tapped it against the wall on the right. Immediately, a door opened in the wall. Behind the door, although it is a little dark, but the starlight is faint. Li Xuan was secretly surprised, and when Miss Suirou entered this door, he was even more surprised. Because behind this door is not only a dome stone room, but also on the dome, there are countless night pearls of all sizes. Although they are only the size of a thumb, these intricate pearls of the night are suspended in the air by light gauze bags, shining like stars, and truly make people marvel at their spectacular sight.
Miss Rou ignored Li Xuan's exclamation, raised her finger and pointed to a few of the empty light gauze bags, and said slowly: "Do you know why these bags are empty?" Li Xuanqi said: "Why?" Miss Rou said lightly: "Because they have slipped from the sky to the mortal world and become people in the world." Li Xuan was puzzled and asked, "Slipping into the mortal world?" What does this mean, please explain it in detail?" Lady Rou said: "According to the fate of the stars." Those who have great achievements will inevitably have stars on their heads, just as we often say that the emperor is the pride of heaven and will be the god of heaven and earth. And these night pearls that I picked down were the stars of the world, after several years of painstaking efforts and repeated deductions. β
Li Xuan listened to what she said and asked, "Where are they in the earthly world......?" Do you know them?"
Miss Rou said: "I don't know everything. But I know one of them. As he spoke, he looked at Li Xuan quietly before he said, "You are one of them." When Li Xuan heard this, he was so shocked that he almost jumped up, and said, "Did I hear it wrong......?" You say that I am the one who has the stars above my head in the world?" Lady Rou nodded solemnly, "Actually, I knew you would come here a few months ago. But then I observed the heavens, and found that there were always clouds around the stars above you. And those clouds are very powerful, and they often rely on their various advantages of winding, winding, encircling, blocking, sealing, and closing, and they are entangled. It wasn't until a month ago that the clouds slowly faded and the stars shone again. Seven days ago, when you arrived at the Taoist temple on that side of the mountain, I noticed that the stars were getting closer and closer to me. If it weren't for that, how could I not appear in front of you sooner or later, just when you were knocked to the ground by Han Zishan's thunderbolt roar. Well, you don't have to doubt it, and even think it's nonsense. Do you know that since ancient times, there have been star fates and strange door gossip. This method is all-encompassing and very complicated, if you don't know how to count ancient arithmetic, and don't know how to perceive the mysteries of heaven, earth, stars and moons, it is extremely difficult to control. β
Li Xuan nodded when he heard this, knowing that the reason why the gossip of the Star Fate Xiangqimen has been able to circulate for thousands of years is precisely because of its mystery.
Lady Rou said: "Do you know that Guiguzi and Mozi in the Spring and Autumn Period, Mr. Zhuge Kongming, the Prime Minister of Shu in the later period, as well as Sha Banyan and Ghost King Ouyang Zhennan of the previous dynasty, etc., they are all top masters who know these methods...... Although I have only recently learned the mystical path, I am not inferior to them in terms of my ability to deduce the stars. Therefore, after my deduction and calculation, the glittering light of the stars above your head is a little faint, and even a little dim. This is one of the reasons why I didn't kill you, even invited you to the villa, and secretly helped you practice martial arts. β
Li Xuan heard Miss Rou mention the old man with half eyes in Sha Half-eyed that she was familiar with, and couldn't help but be convinced. Because this Sha Banyan, who had been a heavenly machine official in the previous dynasty and was in charge of all major events related to the imperial court, such as worshipping the heavens and divination, not only has the extraordinary ability to know the heavens and the earth, but also is good at manipulating and cracking the mystical maze of the past dynasties. It was only later due to the coup d'Γ©tat and the change of power that he resigned and went into hiding, and became a hermit who hid in the city incognito. And Li Xuan's father has a deep intersection with Sha Banyan, and when he was young, he often went to play with his father in the 'Wild Crane Zhai' where Sha Banyan lived, so he was very familiar with his skills.
He listened to Miss Rou for a long time, but it was one of the reasons not to kill himself, and he was curious, and couldn't help asking, "Is this one of the reasons?"
Miss Rou said lightly: "Of course there is." With a flip of his palm, he took out the bronze medal that Li Xuan had never taken away and placed on Nanzhu's table, and said slowly: "What is the difference between this bronze medal?" Li Xuan said: "I have already seen it hundreds of times." This bronze medal is just a bronze medal, except for the lonely and lofty picture of the moonlit mountain on the front, there is no longer anything strange about it......"
Before Li Xuan could finish his words, he came to his senses and exclaimed: "This picture of mountains on a moonlit night...... Isn't that what the villa looks like?"
Miss Rou nodded and said, "You are smart." Yes, the mountain scenery depicted on the bronze medal is the night view of our mountain villa. Aren't you wondering why the bronze medal that Shen Wuxian gave you has something to do with it?" Seeing Li Xuan's stunned face, she smiled slightly: "Because Shen Wuxuan has not only been here before, but also solemnly asked me to help him keep some things. β
When Li Xuan heard this, he said without thinking: "He entrusted you with the treasure hoarded by the Heavenly God Gang?" Miss Rou smiled slightly: "That's right." And this bronze medal still contains the secret agreement he made with me back then. As he spoke, he put the bronze medal between his hands, and did not see how to exert his strength, only heard a soft sound of 'click', and when his hands were opened, the bronze medal had been divided into two.
Miss Rou took out a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wings from the bronze medal divided into two pieces, unfolded it and handed it to Li Xuan, and said in a solemn voice: "Four thousand eight hundred and fourteen taels of gold leaves, thirty-five thousand nine hundred and sixty-three taels of silver leaves, seven hundred and thirty-two night pearls, deep-sea coral, three plants seven feet high, thirty-six plants five feet high, one hundred and sixty-six freshwater white pearls, and nine black pearls......" Li Xuan listened to Miss Rou talking, and after checking the number on the paper one by one, he found that it was exactly the same, and couldn't help but gasp and muttered: " Rich to rival the country...... Senior Shen is indeed rich and rivals the country...... Hey, what do these last words mean...... The treasure is deposited here, and if I am unfortunately hurt by the wicked, whoever carries this bronze medal to the mountain villa will also be like me...... If his martial arts are not enough to protect the above-mentioned wealth, he can add half of his wealth on the basis of the original profit to exchange for the stunt protection of the villa, which is based on the word. β
Li Xuan thought of this, and couldn't help but say: "If according to the meaning of these last words, you didn't kill me, but came to help me, all because of Senior Shen's words?" Miss Rou nodded and said, "Of course it is, and it's not all because of this, because this is only one of the reasons." Li Xuanru fell into the fog and said strangely: "These reasons are not enough!
Miss Rou looked at Li Xuan and said, "You come with me." So saying, he went into the depths of the dome. Li Xuan's mind was suddenly a little confused at the moment, but it was inconvenient to ask again, and when the two of them arrived at the end of the dome stone room, after the girl Rou reached out and touched the wall, the wall of the stone room slid open a door silently. Li Xuan entered the door and couldn't help but be stunned. The reason why he was so surprised was not because the back of the door was much larger than the stone chamber outside, but because he was surprised that there were hundreds of ancient swords on display inside. These swords are not only of different shapes, but they are also shaped like never before. They rested quietly on the sword frame made of white marble, like peerless isolated swordsmen, with a faint murderous aura and dazzling brilliance.
Li Xuan looked around the room and saw an eye-catching ancient sword placed on the offering table in the middle of the stone room.
The sword was about three feet three inches long, with a jet-black scabbard, a mouth made of gold, and a slightly elongated hilt, without any ornamentation. Seeing Li Xuan staring at the ancient sword, Miss Rou stepped forward to pick up the ancient sword and pulled it out slowly and solemnly. Li Xuan couldn't help but admire when he saw the ancient sword unsheathed, and the room was immediately filled with a hazy blue light. Looking closely, I saw that the ancient sword spine was thick and thin, and although it was black, it emitted a dazzling blue light. What kind of sword is this? Li Xuan said: "This sword is bright and restrained, calm and dignified, flashing without light, when it is not out of the sheath, it is like a crouching tiger in the mountains and forests, and once it is out of the sheath, it is like a dragon in the sky." β
Miss Rou said: "The name of this sword is called Wushen, and it was unintentionally obtained in the mountains when the first generation owner of the villa wandered the rivers and lakes. This sword is not only sharpened like clay, but also has an unimaginable feature. Li Xuan said: "What are the characteristics?" Lady Rou said: "When you get out of the sheath, you must drink blood." If there is no blood to drink after being unsheathed, the sharpness will be weakened by half a point, and vice versa, it will be increased by half a point. β
Li Xuan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.
Miss Rou smiled, took out a dark green ancient sword, held the hilt, and pulled it gently, only to hear a 'sonorous' dragon roar, the sword blade glowing as blue as pine not only forced Li Xuan to take half a step back, but also most of the stone room became blue because of it. Li Xuan didn't know much about the ancient sword, and asked, "What is the name of this ancient sword?" Miss Rou said lightly: "This sword is called 'Avoiding Dust', and it is the blade of the third generation head of the Songfeng Dao Sect of Mount Tai Lingfeng Cliff. Forging in the Tianhe Valley, it is the masterpiece of the Jade Qishu among the seven swordsmiths who are still talked about by the people in the rivers and lakes. β
Li Xuan asked, "Is this sword-casting master called the Jade Qishu more powerful than the sword-casting master Mu Jiaozi and Long Guyan of the Sword Casting Valley?" As he spoke, he took out an ancient sword made of extremely narrow shark skin and made a scabbard, and said slowly: "This sword is called Xianni, which is the masterpiece of Mu Jiaozi. When Li Xuan heard this, he felt that everything here was incredible, and he muttered: "The rivers and lakes all say that the three swords of Devil May Cry and Divine Dance and Xianni were thrown into the hidden cave of Jiugong Mountain by Tianxu, the head of Jiugong Mountain, and now I not only have the Devil May Cry Sword inexplicably, but also have an occasional strange fate and get the Divine Dance Blade." Now, I have seen the Xianni Sword with my own eyes...... Is this a dream, or is it ......" Seeing his expression like this, Miss Rou seemed to be expected, and said with a faint smile: "You are not dreaming, this is indeed the Xianni Sword." Li Xuan was dumbfounded, still in disbelief, and sighed: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes are confusing, and the stories that arise are always unexpected, there are too many true and false stories of these three swords!"
Miss Rou smiled: "It can't be fake, it can't be fake......! Back then, Long Guyan challenged Jiugong Mountain Old Dao Tianxu with a sword, and it was true that he was defeated by him, but Tianxu Lao Dao only took away a sword from Shenwu. And Long Guyan was defeated and retreated, and he had already taken the Devil May Cry Sword away. As for this Xianni Sword, it was taken away by a person who was present to prove this peerless battle. As for the rumors in the rivers and lakes later, Niu Bi threw the three swords in the Daozang Cave, which was just a martial art that the people of Jiugong Mountain Dao vigorously boasted about in order to elevate the Tianxu Old Dao. Li Xuanqi said: "Who was qualified to participate in this peerless battle back then?" Lady Rou gently put the Xianni Sword in its place, pointed to the portrait on the scroll of a character picture at the end of the stone room, and said: "It is the second generation owner of my mountain villa, who witnessed that battle with his own eyes!" (To be continued.) )
