Chapter 69: Xu Li's Wedding (Part II)
When I was anxious, I saw a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walking down from the second floor, who seemed to be the shopkeeper of this store. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info only listened to the righteous thoughts in his mouth: "The evening bell rises in the east of Xishan Mountain, and the fog on the top of Yunpan Peak is facing pine. Pointing out, forehead, pointing out a thing or two to the hero...... What exactly is this last sentence? I can't guess it, I really can't guess it. He shook his head as he spoke, and walked slowly down. The mouth recited again: "The evening bell rises in the east of the West Mountain, and the fog on the top of the cloud pan peak is ...... pine."
When I went downstairs, I saw the two Kenshin, and asked the guy, "Ah Da, is there a guest here?" The guy named Ah Da hurriedly nodded and replied: "Yes, the shopkeeper, these two distinguished guests want to buy a piece of jewelry, and they are choosing!"
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Oh, receive well, don't neglect the distinguished guests, I still have some things, so I'll go out first." The fellow hurriedly agreed. The shopkeeper raised his feet to go out, still muttering the poem "The evening bell rises from the moon in Xishan Mountain" in his mouth.
Dugu Jian was suspicious in his heart: "Why does this poem sound so familiar? Could it be that I have seen it somewhere?" He looked at Zhang Linxin, and when the girl saw him, she smiled slightly, and did not answer, but stepped forward to stop the shopkeeper and said: "This shopkeeper, I have heard of this poem, and this last sentence is-'The universe is reversed and half in the middle'." ”
The shopkeeper listened and hurriedly asked, "I wonder how the girl found out?" The girl was just about to answer, but Dugujian suddenly remembered, isn't this the poem that he and Zhang Linxin saw in the secret cave of Wuyi Mountain! At that time, he was thinking about saving the piece of paper on which he wrote the poem, but as soon as he picked it up, the paper shattered into ashes! He replied before the girl spoke: "Shopkeeper, we also overheard this poem from a senior master. ”
Zhang Linxin was stopped by Dugu Jian, and he was still a little dissatisfied, but when he heard his answer, he reacted, and he didn't say anything more. When the shopkeeper got the answer, he shook his head and said, "Oh, so that's the case-'The evening bell rises in the east of the West Mountain, and the fog rises on the top of the cloud pan peak. Pointing out one or two things to the hero, the universe is reversed and half a mile is in the middle. 'Yes, good poetry, good poetry!'
He looked at Jian Xin and the others again, and asked, "I wonder if you can tell the senior master the honorable name of the next step?" Dugu Jian shook his head and said, "Please forgive the shopkeeper, although we have seen this senior, we only heard him read this poem, as for his name, we have not been told." ”
After hearing this, the shopkeeper sighed and said, "Alas, it's a pity, it's a pity! I really want to get to know this senior master and ask him about the deep meaning of this poem." ”
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Jian Xin couldn't help but be very puzzled in his heart, and Dugu Jian asked in wonder: "Dare to ask the shopkeeper, what is the key in this poem?"
Looking at the two people with puzzled faces, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "You don't know, I have heard that this poem is a hint of a collection of military book cheats. This book of war is said to have been written by Li Jing, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty. This book of soldiers can be said to be the essence of his use of soldiers, if you can get this book, learn and use it, I am afraid that it will be a problem to enter the general. ”
"I see!" Dugu Jian nodded, and the two of them knew what the poem in the secret cave of Wuyi Mountain meant, but no one could see how the poem hinted at the place where the book was hidden.
The shopkeeper sighed again and said, "Alas, the last time I heard someone talk about it in the teahouse, it was useless to know this poem. Dugu Jian was a little surprised and asked, "Why is this?"
According to the man, the poem is only half of the mystery, and the other half of the riddle, which is rumored to be written on a mysterious prescription. The shopkeeper told him all he knew.
"A prescription?" Dugu Jian was even more surprised, his heart moved, as if he had caught something, but he couldn't say it for a while. The shopkeeper looked at the two and said, "Yes, it is a prescription! Therefore, without a prescription, knowing this poem is useless after all." Alas, alas, alas!"
Only then did he remember that the two of them had come here to choose jewelry, so he asked again: "I heard my buddy say that the two of you are here to buy jewelry, but have you picked a satisfactory one?" Dugu Jian was still frowning and thinking about something, Zhang Linxin looked at him and replied: "No, shopkeeper, although the jewelry you have here is not bad, there is still nothing very good." You know, when I was in Lin'an City, any store I went to was much better than yours here. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and replied: "The two of you are smiling, we are in a remote place here, how can we compare with Lin'an City? The small shop and the shop are small and thin, nothing can get into the eyes of the two, it is really ashamed!" The girl replied: "The shopkeeper's words are serious, we are not disgusted with the things in your store, but my sister is going to get married, I want to give her a better gift, if it is an ordinary friend, the things in your store can also be, but ......"
"The girl understands, and I understand it below, since that's the case, well, well, you two come with me!" The shopkeeper seemed to have made a great determination, and led the two of them up to the second floor to a room. He first invited the two of them to sit down, and then he walked to a bookshelf, took out a row of books in the middle, and then held a vase on the side, and turned it around vigorously, and a dark compartment slowly appeared in the middle of the row of books he had removed.
I saw the shopkeeper carefully take out a box from the dark compartment, put it on the table in front of the two, slowly opened it, and said, "Please see, two of you!"
Zhang Linxin looked down and saw the things inside, and couldn't help exclaiming: "Ah!" Dugu Jian never expected that the treasure here would be so ingenious!
What's in your way? In this box are a pair of bracelets, made of gold. If that's all there is, it's not that precious. It's just that this pair of gold bracelets is made of pure gold into a very thin jasmine shape, and the golden jasmine flowers are strung together, and between each flower, there is a thumb-sized transparent crystal connected together, those crystals look crystal clear, very extraordinary!
"Shopkeeper, what is this?" Kenshin was a little puzzled in both of his hearts.
The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, "Two, this pair of jasmine buckles is made of pure gold, and these crystals made of strings are not extraordinary, and they all cost a great deal to find. The size, style, and color are all exactly the same, and they are cool to the touch. Once the bracelet is made, it needs to be placed in a wooden box filled with jasmine petals, and every fifteen days, the old petals are removed and the newly picked petals are inserted until the whole bracelet is also infused with the scent of jasmine. The effort that took in the middle of this could not be achieved in a few years, and it was only obtained by chance. (To be continued.) )
