Peach Blossom Button

In the imperial capital, there are two major bazaars in the east and west, while the market in the west of the city is more mature and close to the port. Naturally, the economy is prosperous and lively.Whether they are princes, nobles or ordinary people, they like to visit the West Market to buy some new things.On the other hand, the East Market is slightly depressed, even the pedestrians on the street are much less than those in the West, and the shops on the street seem to be covered in dust.

Tao Mo walked briskly in the east market, scanning both sides of the street with his eyes, for fear of missing the word "Yinfenglou".But for some reason, he felt a line of sight staring at him all the time, even if he moved away quickly with light kung fu, that line of sight followed closely like a maggot on a tarsus bone, but when he introduced that line of sight into a deserted alley At that time, the sight disappeared inexplicably.

The finger that was pressing on the hilt of Zhuo Hua's sword was slowly released, Tao Mo turned around, frowned and cast his gaze behind Kong Kong.It's strange, this person just followed him, but he didn't show any killing intent, it seems that he didn't come here to kill himself, on the contrary... this person just wanted to observe his whereabouts.

Could it be a spy from Shuangyue Pavilion?

But at this time the man had already left, Tao Mo felt relieved a little.He walked out of the alley, and was about to find the location of the Yinfeng Tower again. He just looked up, and happened to see the small, disgraced building standing on the side of the alley, with the words "Yinfeng Tower" written on it, and beside it was a A crooked tree.

Isn't this the ginkgo tree Xie Sanniang mentioned!

Tao Mo was overjoyed immediately, but he didn't rush to dig the soil under the ginkgo tree. Instead, he stood in the dark at the entrance of the alley for a while. The business of this silver house was really bad, and no one passed by for a long time.After making sure that there was no one around, Tao Mo carefully stepped on the shadow cast by the shade of the tree to search for the ginkgo tree.He thought he was going to dig the soil under the tree, but just as he scraped away the floating soil accumulated around the root of the tree, he actually felt a hollow in the root of the tree. He reached in, and there was really something!

Tao Mo was startled, and quickly took out the cloth bag from the tree hole. He unwrapped it and saw that there was a book wrapped in the dusty cloth!

I swept off the dust with my hands, revealing the flying and flying words on the cover, which were slightly blurred under the shadow of the swaying trees.

"A Thousand Machines Record Volume [-]".

As soon as his eyes touched these five words, the hand holding the book trembled slightly. In an instant, Tao Mo was terrified. He only felt that the book in his hand was like a burning fire, which was about to burn his skin to pieces. .It's "A Thousand Machines Record" again!Ever since he inadvertently broke into the Tiange of Senluo Mountain Villa and found this book by chance, his fate seems to be entangled with these strange volumes of ancient books.Linglong Heart, Sword Soul, Goddess Tears... What is it this time?Why does this strange book always appear in my life?

Holding the scroll in his hands, he jumped up and hid in the canopy of the old ginkgo tree with lush branches and leaves. Through the faint sunlight coming from between the leaves, he stroked the old cover and opened the pages tremblingly.

"Thousand Jilu Volume [-]" is not significantly different from the other volumes, but the handwriting is much scribbled, and even a few pages are stained with ink, making it difficult to read clearly, but the weird cups that are repeatedly depicted are really impressive profound.

It was an exquisite cup, on which nine golden dragons were carved with extremely delicate techniques, and these nine dragons hovered around the wine cup, as if they were vying for the pearl inlaid on the cup.The pearls seemed to be inlaid very regularly, as if forming a pattern, but it was still impossible to see the whole picture.Below the gold cup, there are a few words marked in extremely scrawled handwriting.

Beaulieu shines on the moon cup.

Tao Mo was startled when he saw these words.Isn't this the royal treasure that the storytellers call, the Panlong Zhaoyue Cup!It turns out that this Zhaoyue cup is also a treasure recorded in "Thousand Jilu"!Feeling hot in his heart, he quickly turned to the next page, but the page was glued so tightly by something, and there was an old and fishy smell faintly. His countenance changed.

It was dried blood.

He quickly turned the page back again, and the blood that had turned brown and black had stained more than half of the book at the back, and blood spots of different sizes were splashed on the slightly dim and blurred text, which looked shocking .And although the bloodstains on the next few pages have dried up, the color is actually slightly fresher than the previous ones, and it has only been stained in the past few days.The more Tao Mo read it, the colder he felt, he quickly closed the book, leaned against the tree trunk, and gasped for breath.He just felt as if his heart was tightly held by an invisible hand, and it was extremely difficult to breathe, and even the fingers holding the book couldn't help being tinged with a bone-chilling chill...

What kind of terrible things has this "Thousand Machines Record" experienced?And how did she end up in Prince Chenghui's mansion and was stolen by Xie Sanniang?During this period of time in the rivers and lakes, he has known for a long time that "Thousands of Machines" is called a strange book, whether it is the Mo family who rely on the puppet mechanism to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes, or the sword-making master Excalibur in the martial arts. Gu, and even the Wugu people in the far Miao border...all have one of the volumes of "Thousand Machine Records" that records mysterious treasures.But now, the first volume fell into his own hands by chance. Tao Mo held the volume in his hands, couldn't help frowning, and rubbed his fingers over the flying and phoenix handwriting on the cover.Afterwards, the swordsman in black put the scroll into his clothes, and it fell back to the ground like a cat.

But just as he was about to step away, there was a voice of scolding suddenly from the Silver Phoenix Building next to the tree.

"Why are you a little girl again, if you can't afford it, don't hang around all day long!" This loud reprimand immediately frightened a tree of birds into the air, and Tao Mo couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

"I told you earlier that you won't be able to get together the money to buy it in your lifetime, so get out!"

"Who said I can't afford it?" It was the clear voice of the young girl, "I am happy to buy your entire silver house!"

"Oh, then you buy it! Xiao Nizi is only a few years old, and her tone is really big!"

Tao Mo patted his chest, walked slowly to the door of the old silver building, and poked inside.In the old silver building full of the smell of decaying wood, a young girl in an apricot-colored long skirt and a golden hairpin was arguing with the silver man.

"I'm sure I can make enough tomorrow! You...don't sell it." The girl's angry voice gradually turned into a weak pleading, but the guy was completely indifferent, just stretched out his little finger to pick his ears.

"That can't be done. Miss Li just said this morning that she wants this hairpin, and she can buy it tomorrow." The guy curled his lips, "Miss Li just has a bunch of money at hand, and it's almost as expensive as yours. A poor girl with a penny is different."

"Then what's the matter, my mother is also Miss Li!"

The girl's face was flushed by what the guy said, and the girl slapped the table in front of him vigorously with both hands, which made the silver ornaments on the place jingle, but she just took another deep look at the most prominent place. Peach Blossom Silver Hairpin snorted.

Tao Mo's eyes darkened, he walked slowly to the girl, and looked at the hairpin.It was a silver hairpin inlaid with pale pink spar, which was pinched into extremely complicated patterns with silver wire. Those pale pink spar were carved into several lifelike peach blossoms, decorated with silver tassels, shining brightly.After looking at it for a while, he opened his mouth, "How much is the hairpin?"

The clerk didn't even lift his eyelids, and casually reported the number: "Two taels of silver."

Tao Mo immediately raised his eyebrows, the guy heard him keep silent, turned his head to look, and saw that he was dressed as a Jianghu swordsman again, he couldn't help but sneered: "Why is there another stalker?"

The girl recognized Tao Mo at a glance, opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "Why are you here!"

The black-clothed swordsman had already recognized Lanyue. When he heard the price quoted by the guy who looked at people with his nose, he silently took out two pockets of silver from his pocket and slapped them on the table in front of the guy: "Here."

The surface of those two pockets of silver was a little dim, but they were indeed two pockets of silver.When the guy's eyes first touched them, he blinked his eyes hastily, and then he turned around and quickly took out the scale, and weighed the two collars of silver, as if he doubted their authenticity.

When the staff weighed the genuine and fake silver ingot vigorously, Lanyue glanced at the black-clothed swordsman standing aside, and said softly, "Are you stupid?"

"Ah?" Tao Mo frowned.

"I said you, are you stupid?" Lanyue lowered her voice, "Give me a person like me, or someone who took your things, pay a lot of money to buy hairpins?"

Tao Mo just shook his head: "I bought everything."

While speaking, the man had already weighed the silver, and turned around and brought the silver hairpin from the shelf to Tao Mo. Tao Mo glanced at the delicate and beautiful silver hairpin, reached out to take the silver hairpin, and stuffed it into Lanyue Petite hands, then walked out the door without looking back.

"Hello!" Lanyue held the hairpin in her hands and called out to the silent young man in black, but she didn't call him back. She curled her lips, walked outside the gate of the silver building, lifted the silver hairpin, and put it away. under the sun.

The gemstones on the silver hairpin reflect the brilliance in the afternoon sun.

After Tao Mo walked out the door, he walked back slowly along the original road, feeling extremely calm in his heart.He never thought that he would run into the moon thief by chance in this remote silver building, nor did he expect that the female thief, who can go up to nine heavens to look at the bright moon, would keep arguing with the waiter because of an ordinary silver hairpin.

Although she stole her own jade pendant, even though she walked Liang Shanglu, in order to repay Wang Xu's kindness, she stole all the treasures of the palace that had been strayed out, and did not sell them, but returned them to their original owners.

I can't even afford a silver hairpin.

Probably because of her kindness and righteousness, Tao Mo was willing to help.On the other hand, this also repays the kindness of her senior brother for rescuing herself from the secret room.

But these two ingots of silver are part of his savings, and they have been kept since Qiu Lianshan left. Thinking of this, Tao Mo scratched his hair, and if Bai Wangyan asked...he should tell the truth, together with The "Thousand Machine Records"...

Thinking of the book suddenly, Tao Mo reached out to touch his bosom, but it was empty.
