"The sword 'Flowing Water' is held by my uncle with all his heart. Three years ago, my uncle disappeared inexplicably, and Chongxuan searched all over the world without a trace. It was not until this year that my faction got the news that the master Uncle Zeng left the Liushui Sword in the sword pool of the Divine Sword Valley. That sword is his favorite, and he should be able to know his whereabouts from the sword. Therefore... I sent a visit to the Divine Sword Valley on the occasion of the Sword Tasting Conference. , one is to hold the Guigu Divine Sword order to participate in the meeting, and the other is to find this sword and settle Master's concerns."

Candles danced in the house, leaving only the wind and moon shadows outside the window.On the eve of the Sword Tasting Conference, the hustle and bustle of the market did not affect the quiet reception room. The festive red lanterns swayed lonely in the wind in the night, casting red shadows on the floor tiles outside the courtyard.

The tea leaves flicked upright in the water, and when the porcelain cup was picked up, it immediately swayed in the water like a water lily.Staring at the earnest Taoist priest in front of him, the Shaogu master of Shenjian Valley picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and said helplessly, "Daoist Yun, it's not that we deliberately made things difficult, but according to the rules of the world, Dao Long should also know..."

The person sitting in front of Tantaiying was naturally Yun Yueyu, a Taoist priest of Chongxuan Sect. Hearing the Master of the Excalibur Shaogu talk about this "rule", a troubled expression suddenly appeared on his face: "Shuojianchi, it is Seal the sword here, regardless of life or death, no longer..."

"Don't take out this sword again." Tantai Ying saw that he was having a hard time reading, so she took the words and continued: "The Taoist priest knows this rule, so Tantai will not say more. I am really sorry, the past hundred years The rules cannot be broken by me as a precedent."

"But now the life and death of my uncle is uncertain, and the people in my faction are also extremely anxious, so let Master Shaogu help us this time!" Yun Yueyu said anxiously, "The disappearance of my uncle is of great significance to our faction. The clues that have been there for several years can’t be broken here!” As he said, the disciple anxiously opened the cloth bag he was carrying with him, revealing the exquisite and luxurious wooden box inside, he unlocked the upper mechanism lock, opened the box, and the When the box was just opened a crack, dazzling light overflowed from the box, reflecting the colorful splendor in the living room, Yun Yueyu just spread the contents in front of Tantaiying, at this moment, Tantaiying's eyes He opened his eyes wide at once, not afraid of being hurt by this rare treasure at all.He just stared at the shining object, and murmured: "Could it be..."

"A small gift is not a respect." Yun Yueyu closed the box, and the seven-colored brilliance disappeared in the room immediately, and the candlelight shrouded the reception room again, reflecting the shadows of the two on the wall.

Tan Taiying knew that what he brought was a rare treasure, but she still frowned and shook her head: "Sorry, I can't accept this. Daoist Yun, the rules of the past century cannot be broken. Perform the sword sealing ceremony, enter No one can take out the sword from Suojianchi, not even my father can violate this rule."

Disappointment immediately appeared on Yun Yueyu's face, but there was a bit of expected color in it, he sighed, and pushed the box forward: "Please accept it, it is difficult for the poor and the strong I'm sorry."

But Tan Taiying just waved his hand and said: "If I didn't help the Taoist priest, I naturally couldn't accept this gift. I'd like to ask the Taoist priest to rest at ease tonight and win the first prize at the meeting tomorrow."

Now that Master Shaogu of the Excalibur has issued an order to chase away guests, Yun Yueyu knew that there was no room for maneuver, so he had no choice but to hand over to Tantai Ying: "I'm bothering Master Shaogu, please leave." After finishing speaking, he Turning around and going out the door, Tantaiying got up to see her off, just as she stepped out the door, the little black figure outside the door who had been waiting for a long time rushed towards Yun Yueyu, Tantaiying saw that it was the same person she met during the day today. The little Taoist.

"Senior brother!" The little Taoist priest who was originally extremely excited, just came out to meet Yun Yueyu, but saw the disappointed expression on the face of senior brother through the light, and the excitement just now was drowned out by the water As if, he stood listlessly on the spot, looking at Tantai Ying behind him who sent Yun Yueyu out, tears flickered in his eyes: "No, can't you?"

Yun Yueyu reached out and patted the little Taoist priest's head: "Let's go back."

"Even, can't we go to the Fengjian Pond to have a look?" The little Taoist sobbed weakly. He didn't have much memory and couldn't control his emotions, so he burst into tears in an instant.Yun Yueyu hurriedly bent down to comfort him, while Tantaiying who was standing by the side scratched her hair with great difficulty.

Tan Taiying, the owner of the Divine Sword Shaogu, has two things that she can't see the most in her life, one of which is a child crying.

"It's...it's not difficult to go to Fengjianchi to have a look." Tantaiying scratched her hair, and finally let go, "But I can only have a look."

Yun Yueyu coaxed the little junior brother, while looking at Master Shaogu with a little surprise: "Is it really possible? Will it be too much trouble for Master Shaogu?"

"You want to find clues about the uncle, instead of looking for the sword, you might as well ask the guards guarding the sword pool over there." Tantaiying frowned and glanced at the little Taoist priest who had stopped crying, "Stop crying!"

"Master Shaogu, thank you very much!" Yun Yueyu hurriedly bowed to Tantaiying, and the little Taoist also laughed through his tears.

Tantaiying sighed, forced a smile and sent the two Chongxuan sect Taoists away. As he walked back, he pondered whether what he did was right or wrong.

"If that white fox is here, I might be able to come up with a better way..." While thinking this way, the Master of the Divine Sword Shaogu shook his head and stepped into his room.

And Bai Wangyan, the "white fox" that Master Shenjian Shaogu was thinking of now, was standing in a pharmacy waving his fan and ordering the drug boy to fetch the medicine.

"A total of 25 taels of silver." After weighing the medicinal materials and picking them up, the shopkeeper handed the large bag of medicinal materials to Bai Wangyan, "Go slowly."

Bai Wangyan nodded, took out the silver and handed it to the shopkeeper. He took the big bag of medicinal materials, but his hand that was holding the medicinal materials fell down in vain.This medicinal material is precious and heavy. His shoulders were suddenly stretched and it hurt a little.Seeing the quiet white-clothed scholar slow down, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Take it easy, this medicine is a bit heavy, or should I deliver it to your residence?"

"No need." Bai Wangyan waved his hands hastily, and walked out the door step by step with the medicinal materials. His complexion is very bad now.Bai Wangyan had never had such an annoyed expression before, he was only glad that Tao Mo was not by his side, and he couldn't see himself in such a state of embarrassment.But the moment he stepped out, the abnormal noise outside the door caught his attention.

"Go away, with such a broken thing, you still dare to challenge me! Returning the treasures of the previous dynasty, hey, your nonsense is so true!"

Standing in front of the pawnshop door, the thick-looking pawnshop clerk pushed the man violently, and immediately pushed the man who came to pawn to stagger. At the same time, the young man in black hurriedly supported the man, He glared at the arrogant guy.

"What are you looking at!" the guy yelled while rolling up his sleeves, "Boy, do you want to fight?"

In the originally bustling market, the crowd gathered around like a group of fish that smelled the bait and heard the yelling.No matter what time it is, no matter what status it is, as long as people feel that there is something exciting to watch, they will flock to it, it is like a mysterious ceremony.

The large bag of medicinal materials seemed like a feather now, and was carried by Bai Wangyan to squeeze through the bustling crowd. The white-clothed scholar wanted to use all his strength to finally push aside the spectators and squeeze into the center of the encirclement.

He naturally recognized the young man in black.

Tao Mo was still a little surprised when he saw the white-clothed scholar walking over with a large bag of things. He thought Bai Wangyan had already gone back first, but unexpectedly, this person not only did not go back, but also passed the dense crowd around. squeezed to his side.

"What are you doing here?" Tao Mo asked with a frown.

But Bai Wangyan only lingered on him for a moment, and then wandered over to the person he was helping to stand up.It was a beggar-like man, dressed in shabby burlap clothes, and the hair that half-covered his eyes was disheveled on his shoulders, with a lot of white hair mixed in, even if he was pushed by the tall guy He almost fell to the ground, and he also tightly protected the stained rag bag in his arms, looking desperate.

"I'm passing by." Bai Wangyan replied lightly, and then, his eyes turned to the guy with his hips on his hips, and he suddenly put on a smiling face.

"Boss, I misunderstood you, these two are my friends, I dare to ask, how did they offend you?"

For Tao Mo, Bai Wangyan is able to put on a smile to anyone at any time, and he can't learn it in three lifetimes. To be unsheathed.But now, Bai Wangyan came, this swordsman who was good at talking with his sword, finally put his sword back into its sheath with peace of mind.

"You still have the nerve to ask!" The guy was originally angry, but the smile put on by the white-clothed scholar made him a little less confident. He coughed twice, and pointed at the man in disgust, " When these two came to the shop just now, the old man insisted on taking a broken clay bowl for three taels of gold!"

"Gold?" Bai Wangyan raised his eyebrows, turned around, and said to the man, "Brother, can you show me what kind of object it is?"

As soon as the man looked up at Bai Wangyan's face, he was stunned, but he opened his mouth and didn't speak out.After a long time, he tremblingly took out a small bowl from the ragged pocket.The bowl looked really dirty and seemed to be made of mud, but when Bai Wangyan's hand touched the man's hand, there was a meaningful light in his eyes.

When the unremarkable bowl was carefully picked up by Bai Wangyan, titters came from the crowd.But the white-clothed scholar didn't care about their teasing. He stuffed the medicinal bag into Tao Mo's arms, and he held the bowl with both hands. Looking at it under the moonlight, his smile grew stronger: "Three taels of gold? My This big brother is really joking."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it! Then quickly drag you crazy brother away, don't delay my business!"

The peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the white-clothed scholar tapped the bowl with his hand, and snorted, "I'm afraid I'm the one who told you the price, so you'll force me to give you three taels of gold."
