Chapter XXIV

On the sixth day of the lunar month, Xiangyang City Guo Mansion

The weather is clear, and the wind is smooth.

A few days ago, the heavy snow had completely melted away, and there was no trace, and the scene of Brother Xiao stepping on the snow and leaving still appeared in his mind.

Guo Fu sat on the stone bench in the back garden, wearing a moon-white jacket and skirt, two hands as white as jade, lightly supporting her rounded jaw, looking at Xiang'er and Po Yu who were fighting fiercely in the martial arts training field, and her mind was immersed in the time when she got along with Brother Xiao.

"Humph,...... Second sister, you don't have a good idea,...... Look, the eldest sister is here again!"

Po Lu was wearing a gray hero costume and holding a green bamboo stick, and was fighting with Guo Xiang in a pink power suit, but the two seemed to be fighting fiercely, but they were not half murderous, as if dancing, and their eyes glanced at the eldest sister who was sitting in a daze not far away from time to time.

Seeing that the eldest sister began to be in a daze again, he couldn't help but start panting and complaining, and it must have made Guo Poyu, an honest and honest person, complain, definitely tired him a lot.

"You have a good idea, you are clumsy, and you go to tell jokes to the eldest sister, the jokes are not funny, your stupidity is quite funny!" Guo Xiang has a pretty face that is white and red, his cheeks are red at this time, and there are a few tiny beads of sweat on his small nose, and when he heard his younger brother slandering his idea, he naturally fought back.

"Then let's stop, anyway, the eldest sister can't see us in her eyes!" Guo Poyu suggested, at this time he felt more tired, he couldn't move his pace, and his moves became more and more scattered.

In the past few days, Huang Rong told them to find a way to make the eldest sister feel brighter, but she didn't expect this matter to be so difficult.

Guo Fu has been a little depressed since Xiao Yuesheng left, and everything around her can't attract her attention.

Guo Xiang pulled her out to go shopping, she shook her head, too lazy to move. Accompanied her to sneak out to find a tavern to drink, she also shook her head, saying that she was not interested, and asked Guo Xiang not to drink.

Guo Poyu saw that there was really no way, so he went to Lu Yun and Xia Houjie to ask for a joke, and ran to the eldest sister's room to tell her, but he was the material for telling jokes, and the jokes that came out of his mouth couldn't make people laugh no matter how funny they were.

Guo Xiang is still smart, she saw that the eldest sister usually likes to practice the most, so she pulled Guo Poyu and said that she wanted to practice and asked the eldest sister for advice.

This time, Guo Fu did not refuse, practicing was her way to relieve the pain in her heart.

But when he arrived at the practice ground in the back garden, Guo Fu realized that the way he had been using Bailing in the past was now invalid.

Watching the fierce competition between the younger siblings in the field, she couldn't control her emotions and couldn't help floating to Brother Xiao.

She looked up at the sun hanging high in the air, the bright sunshine, as if there was no warmth in the past, shining on herself, but she couldn't drive away the chill in her heart, without Brother Xiao by her side, the world suddenly had no warmth.

At this time, outside the Guo Mansion, four horses slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Guo Mansion with neat steps. Three sturdy and heroic men and a petite and beautiful woman leap off their horses.

"Master, is this the Guo Mansion?" the petite and beautiful woman straightened the belt around her waist and asked the tall middle-aged loyal man beside her.

"Well, Mingzhu, this is Guo Daxia's mansion, Qiu Yu, come forward to post. "This man is Sun Ziming, who was ordered by the teacher and came to Guo Mansion to propose marriage.

"Yes, Master. Another young man with clear eyebrows stepped forward respectfully.

The people guarding the door of the Guo Mansion saw a lot of people, and they all had a pair of discerning eyes, and when they saw the four of them moving calmly, the purple qi was faint between the eyes turning, and there was no doubt that they were masters, so they passed it out very happily.

Guo Jing and his wife were overjoyed when they heard that they had a grandson to see them, and they hurriedly went out of the house to greet each other.

"Sun Daxia......" Guo Jing arched and greeted.

"Don't dare to be a hero, don't dare to be a hero in front of Guo Daxia, my master knows about it, and he will definitely teach me a lesson!" Sun Ziming hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile.

"Hehe, too modest, too modest, please, enter the house and sit down!" Guo Jing is no longer polite, and it will be a little too polite to be polite, after all, his master is going to become his eldest son-in-law.

"Let them meet Mrs. Guo Daxia first, these are my unsuccessful disciples, Master let the two of them go to Guo Daxia's tent to sharpen themselves. Sun Ziming's etiquette was extremely thoughtful, after all, there was still the teaching of his wife, he pointed to Sun Qiufeng and Sun Qiuyu, indicating that the two of them would serve under Guo Jing's account.

Sun Qiufeng and the three of them hurriedly bowed to each other, and they had admired Guo Daxia for a long time.

Guo Jing was overjoyed, he had seen the elite, and naturally knew at a glance that these two people were rare masters, and after receiving the gift of the three of them, he hurriedly extended them to the living room of the mansion.

Entering the living room, the guests and hosts sat down and started to talk about the topic.

"Guo Daxia, my master originally wanted to talk about the fact that the old man Hong came to propose marriage, but unfortunately the old man Hong Shenlong saw the head and the tail, and his whereabouts were difficult to find, so he had to send me, a person with a small reputation, to come, I was really wronged Miss Guo! Master asked me to accompany him on his behalf!"

As soon as Sun Ziming put down the teacup, he opened his mouth to apologize.

Guo Jingguang Fengyue didn't pay attention to these things, and hurriedly waved his hand when he heard the words: "It's serious, your master is also an extraordinary person, why bother talking about those clichΓ©s, these forms, you don't have to pay too much attention to them, the posture of the little girl Pu Liu, he will not give up, it is already Guo Mou Gaopan!"

Although his words were a little too humble, they were from the bottom of his heart.

Sun Ziming only thought he was modest, so he smiled, then his face was solemn, he got up, and arched his hand: "Guo Daxia, Mrs. Guo, on behalf of Master Xiao Yuesheng, I officially ask for a job with Miss Guo Fu, my daughter, and I hope that Mrs. Guo Daxia Guo will allow it!"

"Accurate!" Guo Jing got up and replied steadily, with great momentum, like a soldier from the Shuaifu.

"Ziming greets the grandfather, the grandmother!" Sun Ziming breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to meet him, but this title was a bit awkward.

"Please. Guo Jing and his wife also fell to the ground with a boulder in their hearts, and the matter was finally finalized.

Huang Rong was happy in her heart, her daughter's bitter love finally had a successful result, it was really merciful to God, and the ancestors blessed her.

After this procedure, the final decision was finally made, and there was no longer room for variables.

The crowd suddenly felt much closer.

He said that the foreign master and his wife did not like vulgar gifts, so they no longer gave those vulgar things, and prepared a little light gift to express their hearts. ”

"Hehe, Rong'er, worthy of being our son-in-law, knows us so well. The stone that had been pressed in his heart was finally moved away, Guo Jing's mood was indescribably relaxed, he didn't care if he hired a dowry or not, and his son-in-law's words were on his heart, with some eyebrows and smiles.

Huang Rong is not so happy, although she doesn't care about that, but when it comes to her daughter, if there is no dowry, it is really unreasonable, which shows that her daughter's status in his mind is not high, which is worrying, after all, he already has a wife.

Sun Zi Mingqing's disciple waved his hand gently, and Sun Qiufeng and Sun Qiuyu each took down the burden behind their backs and untied them.

Behind Sun Qiufeng is a long wooden box as long as a sword, while Sun Qiuyu is a square jade box with an ordinary color and inconspicuousness.

"Grandfather, grandmother, let me explain the purpose of these things. Sun Ziming pointed to the two boxes.

"Speak. Huang Rong knew that there must be a reason for him to say this.

"Let them go down and rest first, they have suffered a lot along the way. Sun Ziming pointed to his disciple.

Although he knew that this was Sun Tzuming's move to avoid suspicion, since he said this, he couldn't refuse, so Guo Jing called a servant and led the three of them down to rest.

Since the master didn't want them to know, although they were extremely curious in their hearts, they couldn't do anything.

Sun Mingzhu rolled his eyes, but he was not worried, the master doted on himself very much, and he would know when he asked later.

After everyone left, Sun Tzu Ming Yungong concentrated and made sure that there were no idle people around.

Being so moved by him, Guo Jing and his wife were a little nervous, knowing that these things were some extremely precious things.

Sun Ziming opened the first box first, and there was a white wooden sword in the box, two jet-black jackets, two transparent gloves, and a book was pressed under the jacket. These things look ordinary tight, and there is nothing unusual about them.

As everyone knows, the higher the grade of the things made by Xiao Yuesheng, the more ordinary its appearance is, and the more gorgeous the appearance, the lower its grade.

The hilt of the white wooden sword, still wrapped in thick linen, was a little weird.

Sun Ziming carefully held the hilt of the sword wrapped in the cloth, slowly picked up the white wooden sword, and smiled at Huang Rong: "Grandma, this is something that the master specially gave you, please drop a drop of blood on the sword, and don't touch the sword body!"

Huang Rong hesitated for a moment, looked at Guo Jing, put her onion-white index finger between the snow-white and fine teeth, and bit it gently, a touch of red poured out from the snow-white index finger, she lightly raised her index finger on the white wooden sword body in front of her, and the blood beads slowly fell from the index finger, dripping on the sword body, and disappeared immediately.

"Ahh

"What's wrong, Rong'er?!" Guo Jing asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, Brother Jing, this sword seems to suck blood. Huang Rong shook her head.

At this moment, the white wooden sword held in Sun Ziming's hand slowly floated up, as if an invisible hand was swinging the sword into the air.

The sword body gradually revealed a faint white light, stronger and stronger, stronger and stronger, and finally turned into a hazy mass, flying towards Huang Rong, who was stunned, covering it in it, and before everyone could reflect, it disappeared, and a long linen cloth slowly fell to the ground.

Even if Guo Jing and his wife are well-informed, they have never seen such a strange thing.

"Grandma Wai, now, this Divine Wood Sword has been integrated into your body, and you can summon it at any time. Sun Ziming also had a deep understanding of the surprise of the couple, and after a while, they woke up before they spoke.

"Oh, what's going on?" asked Huang Rong.

"Grandmother, you meditate in your heart that the Shenmu Sword appeared in your hand. ”

"Hey, it's really out!" Guo Jing saw that the wooden sword that had disappeared just now suddenly appeared out of thin air in Huang Rong's hand, and he couldn't help but reach out and want to take a look.

"Be careful! Don't touch!" Sun Ziming was worthy of the name of the Heavenly Thunder God Claw, and his shot was like lightning, grabbing Guo Jing's hand.

"What's wrong?" Guo Jing didn't care about Sun Ziming's shot, and asked with some surprise, after so many years, he has never been as curious as he is today.

Sun Ziming hurriedly put down Guo Jing's hand and said slightly apologetically: "This Shenmu Sword is too domineering, except for wooden things, it is unbreakable, and it absorbs people's essence, except for the master, no one else must touch it." ”

"Such a domineering thing, absorbing people's essence?" Guo Jing frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, such a domineering thing is a little too vicious, I am afraid that it is ominous to use.

Sun Tzu Ming seemed to see through his thoughts, and said busily: "If the grandmother is familiar with it and can control this sword, then she will not absorb people's essence, and she will do whatever she wants." ”

Guo Jing nodded slowly: "Well, this is very good, it sucks people's essence and hurts the heavens, so it's better not to use it! Rong'er, do you say yes?"

"Brother Jing is right, Rong'er will naturally restrain it. Huang Rong smiled, feeling for her husband's generosity.

The Shenmu Sword in her hand flickered, which made her quite amused.

"After this sword is integrated into the body, it can automatically absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and it will also nourish the body of the sword owner, transform the body, and delay aging. Sun Ziming continued to explain.

Naturally, Guo Jing and his wife were extremely shocked by these words, and it was really hard to believe that there were such divine objects in the world! As in myths and legends, even though they had seen a lot and had extraordinary experiences, they had never encountered such a miraculous thing.

"This, this is too precious!" Huang Rong was a little uneasy, such a divine object is indeed too precious to give away.

"After a while, the grandmother will naturally communicate with this sword, and there are many wonderful things, and I will naturally know it when the time comes. Sun Ziming smiled, talked ramblingly, and picked up the pair of transparent gloves with both hands.

"Master Wai, this is for you, you can also drop a drop of blood. ”

"No, the Shenmu sword just now is too valuable, Guo Moutian accepted it, and the rest, you can't take it again, it's better to bring it back and return it to your master." Guo Jing hurriedly waved his hand vigorously, with a resolute expression.

Sun Ziming laughed softly: "It was really expected by my master." ”

"What's in the material?" Huang Rong put the sword into her body, feeling that it was like a ball of internal breath, standing at the center of her eyebrows, slowly releasing a trace of cool breath, making her mind more and more clear and clear, and the surprise in her heart did not diminish at all, hearing Sun Ziming's words, she asked curiously.

"My master expected that the Chinese and foreign masters would refuse, and he asked me to say that since we are already a family, naturally we don't need to divide anything between you and me, and his things are naturally your second elder's things, too polite, it is not a family. Besides, he doesn't have any elders alive, his son wants to raise but his relatives are not there, he is really helpless, your second elder has now become his elder, just like his parents, he took out something to pay respect, and his heart was also happy. If he doesn't, he will feel sad. ”

Sun Ziming had great respect for the master, first bowed to the south, and then turned around to narrate the master's words to the two.

This call moved Guo Jing a lot, and Huang Rong was also pitiful when she heard it, and her mother's love suddenly rose.

"Okay, your master is also a person with the most affectionate surname, he said so, if I refuse again, it will be hypocritical. With that, he bit his index finger hard and dripped it into the glove in Sun Ziming's hand.

The white light suddenly rose, and the scene was the same as just now, and the pair of transparent gloves melted into Guo Jing's body.

"Master, this glove is similar to the sword of the grandmother, water and fire are invulnerable, the sword is invulnerable, and it is indestructible, by the way, both have the effect of amplifying the internal force, such as holding the sword in your hand, or wearing the glove on your hand, with a point of internal force, it can be very powerful. Hehe, in short, these two treasures are infinitely wonderful, I can't remember clearly, and I need to taste them carefully. Sun Ziming smiled at the two people who no longer showed surprise, and admired it in his heart, and his concentration was amazing.

He pointed to the two black jackets and said, "Those two pieces of clothing, after dripping blood to recognize the master, are integrated under the skin, which can protect the master's sword from injury, water and fire, and can only protect themselves, compared to the divine wood sword and dragon tendon gloves, it is much worse." This is the secret of purifying the heart, after the practice can stimulate the mysterious power in the body, enhance the wisdom, the master once said, among these gifts, this thing is the most valuable, the relationship is significant, please recite it immediately, after remembering, immediately destroy, except for Guo's disciples, can not be passed on. ”

Guo Jing heard this, and hurriedly said: "Rong'er, you hurry up and recite it, you remember your surname." ”

Huang Rong nodded, and picked up the thin booklet with a solemn face.

When I opened it, it was blank, and there were only two blank pages.

As soon as she wanted to speak, her eyebrows suddenly jumped, and the cool aura that the Shenmu Sword turned into was actually separated and slowly injected into her eyes.

The front eyes were black, and suddenly they brightened, and the world in her eyes became only black and white, which made her a little flustered.

I inadvertently glanced at the blank page in my hand, and my heart moved, and the blank page was covered with words.

In the eyes of Guo Jing and Sun Ziming, Huang Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, her eyes were like substance, she glanced at them lightly, and where she was swept by her gaze, she felt a little tingling, as if she had been slashed by a sharp blade.

Sun Ziming has seen a lot of these situations, and he is not surprised.

Guo Jing was a little stunned, he was already inflexible, and he couldn't reflect this dazzling and strange phenomenon.

Huang Rong stared at the pages of the book, silently recited, and quickly memorized the two pages until she memorized them backwards, and the thin book suddenly spontaneously combusted without fire and turned into ashes.

At this time, Guo Jing and his wife have experienced too many strangeness, which makes them almost numb, and they don't care about this strange phenomenon.

After the couple finished their tea, they settled down.

Sun Ziming opened the small jade box next to him again, and there were only three mutton fat jade bottles inside.

"This bottle is the Heaven Replenishing Pill, this bottle is the Zhuyan Pill, and this bottle is the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, each with five pieces. Mending the pill is to make up for the innate deficiencies, cutting hair and washing the marrow, easy to change muscles and bones, but this pill is strong and domineering, must be supported by people with deep internal strength, and the pressure medicine is slowly released, otherwise it is useless to take it, but it is a peerless poison, the rejuvenating pill can make people's appearance permanent, no longer changing, the soul pill is a life-saving medicine, even if a person dies, as long as the throat is not more than an hour, with a soul pill, it can also be saved, and the surname is worry-free for a month. Sun Ziming explained the three bottles of pills one by one, and finished talking in one go, no longer dragging mud and water.

With the stimulation of those two artifacts in front, these precious pills could no longer stimulate their numb hearts.

"Alas, these things, take out one, it is a priceless treasure, I only know this time, I still underestimated your master before. Guo Jing shook his head and sighed, feeling like he was in a dream, and everything became unreal.

Huang Rong kept her eyes closed for a while, pondering the contents of those two pages.

Hearing Guo Jing's words, she slowly opened her eyes, the sharp light in her eyes gradually faded and disappeared, and Huang Rong also regained her original vision. She smiled softly, and her expression was tranquil: "This is true, I have never heard of these things, but I didn't expect them to appear in front of us, it feels like we are dreaming, Brother Jing, are we dreaming?"

Guo Jing smiled, quite the simple look of his youth.

"Grandfather, grandmother, you take care of these things, Ziming will go down to rest first, and then we will discuss the wedding after dinner. Sun Tzu Ming saw that they were a little out of shape, so he retired first, and let the couple have a good time, otherwise the stimulation would be too much and it would be bad for the body.

"It's okay, Ziming's journey must be non-stop, a hurry, thank you for your hard work, take a good rest, and then we will discuss the marriage. Guo Jing has already made up his mind, and when he saw that his grandson had retired, he would not be forced to stay.

"Miss, Miss, Lord and Madame beckoned you!" Guo Fu's maid Huan Cuiyu ran into the back garden and shouted at a sharp voice, ignoring her delicate image.

Guo Fu was thinking about it, Guo Xiang and Guo Poyu were also weak and weak, feeling exhausted, and when they heard Cuiyu's call, they stopped.

"Cuiyu, what's the matter with Daddy calling the eldest sister?" Guo Xiang wiped the fine beads of sweat on her head, carried a green bamboo stick, and asked, she always felt that the name of the girl in her sister's room was too cheesy, Cuiyu, what a cheesy name.

"The little maid doesn't know, but it seems to have something to do with that Heavenly Thunder God Claw, he just brought three disciples to see the master and the lady. "This delicate jade is not stupid.

"Heavenly Thunder God Claw, is it Brother Sun Ziming! Why is he here? Isn't his master with him?" Guo Xiang croaked and threw out a series of questions.

Guo Furu's eyes were suddenly full of brilliance, but he was embarrassed to ask directly, just looked at the jade eagerly.

"His master, I don't know! I just heard Lu Yun say that the Heavenly Thunder God Claw came to the Guo Mansion with three disciples, and no one was allowed to approach the living room just now, and after the man left, the master beckoned me and asked me to come to you. Jade has sharp teeth and crisp speech, but the content is a little confusing.

"Eldest sister, go and take a look, maybe it has something to do with Brother Xiao!" Guo Xiang persuaded her, she knew that as long as Brother Xiao was mentioned, the eldest sister would come to the spirit.

"I'm going to see what's going on with my father, you guys go and rest first, I've been practicing for so long, and I've worked hard for you!" Guo Fu's jade face, which had been indifferent, suddenly flashed with a smile, and there was a little smile in his voice.

Guo Xiang watched the graceful figure of the eldest sister curling away, snorted angrily, and said helplessly to Guo Poyu: "Eldest sister, she also knows our hard work, but she deliberately pretends not to see it, let us toss like this, it's really infuriating!"

Guo Poyu was used to being bullied by his two sisters, and he felt a little used to it, so he said numbly: "Who made her the eldest sister-!"

"Hmph, what's the big deal about the eldest sister! I'm still the second sister! Po Yu, let's go to Uncle Lu's for a drink?!" Guo Xiang Lingxiu's little face changed from joy and anger very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he completed the process of turning from anger to laughter, with a little flattery, and with a little threat, he won over Guo Poyu.

Her surname is different from ordinary women, she likes to drink wine and eat meat with those heroic men, and she is extremely yearning for the hot-blooded rivers and lakes.

"Second sister, you were the golden hairpin given by your grandfather last time, and this time you have nothing, how can you have the money to buy wine and drink?" Guo Poyu was originally a very honest child, but with such an eccentric second sister, it is easy to learn badly.

Guo Jing was born in the grassland and drank a lot, and his son also inherited this advantage, he liked to drink, and the amount of alcohol was extremely high.

Guo Xiang likes to drink, not because he likes wine, but because he likes the atmosphere and spirit when he drinks, and his own amount of alcohol is extremely shallow.

Guo Xiang is arrogant and generous, often competing to pay for wine, but the family discipline is very strict, the pocket money is not much, and she can't buy a few jars of wine at all, so she takes her jewelry and sells it, but she is really bold, and she is not afraid that her parents will punish her heavily after they find out.

"That's a problem,...... Yes, go to the disciples of Brother Sun Ziming and let them have a drink! I am their elder!" Guo Xiang thought about it with his hand on his face, rolled his smart eyes, and suddenly thought of a way.

"Well, I also want to meet them and see what the disciples of the Heavenly Thunder God Claw look like. He was accustomed to obeying his second sister's decision, waiting for it to be unfavorable, and then began to complain a few words to show his cleverness.

So, the two of them staggered towards the Binshe area with green bamboo sticks in their hands.
