Shopkeeper and God

When I had time to wipe it, when Lu Xing asked, I was a little dazed, so I didn't talk to Lu Xing again, and then I heard Lu Xing say: "My Qixie rule is that I have to collect commission fees first before I can help others. My lord You can’t get away here, and it’s unreasonable to entrust me with a letter. If you can’t pay the entrustment fee, don’t blame me anymore.”

The threatening meaning in his words was too obvious, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, got up from the ground, and said apologetically: "Here, Mr. Shopkeeper... I will accompany you first, Xiaosheng, it is indeed my negligence. If you want commission fees, you can take a look at the treasures in this store, there are no fakes in Xiaosheng's store, you can take whatever you want."

They are all in business, so he is naturally unambiguous.Lu Xing smiled, pointed to the Tang knife on the coffee table, and said, "Then I'll take it."

Sword Spirit (3)

Lu Xing and Baochen came back after midnight, Chen Yiguang fell asleep early, so naturally he didn't know it, but when he woke up the next morning, he saw an extra formation in the courtyard, with a knife in the formation.The child was quite curious, and was told not to approach by Baochen and Lu Xing, so he just stood in the hall and watched from afar.After breakfast, Lu Xing told him to go back to his room, and he was absolutely not allowed to come down without his permission.Chen Yiguang naturally knew what they were going to do, so he responded quickly and went back.

Baochen put away all the tableware and chopsticks, and Lu Xingwu made a pot of tea and drank it with his legs crossed. When Baochen cleaned up, he smiled and said, "Open the barrier".

There is a saying in ancient times that utensils have spirits, especially things that are loved by people.They are frequently used, and it is easy to generate spirit bodies.Its category is probably similar to the Flower Essence and Grass Monster, and of course there are also those who have made great achievements.It's just that they are artifacts and spirits after all, and after all, they can't get rid of their own bodies for a lifetime.

In today's world, the speed of development has been many times faster than the time for objects to transform into spirits.New utensils are discarded before they can be melted in time, and old utensils are not properly preserved and eventually perish.Between heaven and earth, Qi Ling suddenly became a rare thing.And this Tang knife brought back from the ghost market is a "rare thing" that can transform the spirit of weapons.

Among the spirits, the sword is the most common one.They are already well-made, they kill enemies and gain popularity, and the owner loves them, so they will often be given names.Therefore, in ancient times, it was not uncommon for generals to have sword spirits around them.As for the Tang knife in front of him, it is estimated that it has been separated from its owner for a long time, and has not been properly preserved, so its spiritual power is already extremely weak.If the owner of the antique shop hadn't intentionally removed the rust and polished it, it is estimated that the sleeping spirit would not have been awakened.

It's just that such a weak sword spirit, according to the owner of the antique shop, keeps harassing the shop owner precisely because of a certain strong heart.If the sword spirit could not be revealed to explain the situation, Lu Xing felt that no matter where the sword was placed, it would probably cause all kinds of unnecessary troubles.

Instead of waiting for trouble to come and then solve it, it is better to go directly to the door to find trouble.

As soon as Lu Xing took a sip of tea, Baochen twisted his fingertips, and the water-like barrier opened silently.After only a moment of water waves swaying, the sun is still the same sun, and Qi Harmony is still the same Qi Harmony, but any human voices, cicadas, and noises are all inaudible.The world became quiet, as if apart from Lu Xing and Baochen in the hall, only the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees was left.

The Tang knife has been removed from the scabbard, lying quietly on the formation in the courtyard.The formation emits an imperceptible blue light in the daytime, reflecting the sharp blade of Tang Dao, showing a bit of iron-blooded coldness.Lu Xing calmly put the teacup on the table and said, "There is no disturbance here, please come out and talk."

He didn't speak loudly, but in the quiet environment, he had the illusion of falling to the ground.Tang Dao in that formation, as if responding to this sentence, the blade trembled slightly, and then, a girl's voice seemed to come from the void, excitedly said: "Ah, ah, there is someone who can talk to me!" Man, it really suffocated me."

As soon as the words fell, a blood-red mist was seen on the Tang knife.Immediately afterwards, the fog of light dripped down from the blade as if melting, and spread like blood on the ground for a while, but rose up in anti-gravity, twisted into one strand like a river converging, and entangled into another ball again, finally like It exploded like a flower blooming.

Immediately, I saw a girl in red descending from the sky.Her face is like a delicate flower, and her clothes are red and bright like cinnabar.She stepped on a pair of cloud boots, and lightly touched Tang Daodao's body with her toes, and a red ripple burst out again.She stood still on the knife, then slightly saluted Lu Xing and Baochen, and said: "Little girl Qingyan, I have met the two adults."

Her voice was soft, as if she was naturally delicate, she sounded like she was still a child, which made it difficult to be harsh.As soon as Lu Xing heard this voice, he couldn't help but smile again, nodded slightly in return, and said, "I'm Xia Lu Xing, the owner of Qixie. This is Baochen, my assistant in the shop." After he finished his introduction, Then he said: "The ghosts in Donggu shop and the disturbing of the shopkeeper's dream were all done by the girl?"

Qingyan just looked at Lu Xing and Baochen again, and when he heard him ask this question, he answered "yes" briskly, but after the answer, he seemed to feel that the answer was too straightforward, so he added: "I can't help it either. The thing is, my spiritual power is already very weak, and the time for transforming into this world is very short. I want to go to Su Mu, but no one can hear my voice, so I can only entrust the dream. That shopkeeper, oh, what a sin It's a sin, I've harassed him for so long, can my lord help me to say something nice to him?" She said, showing an apologetic expression, even bent down and put her hands together above her head, which was sincere.

Lu Xing didn't want to agree to her, but couldn't say the words, so he smiled and continued to ask: "When did the girl come from, or to put it another way, when did the girl take form?"

"Ten years in Dali, when we were with Su Mu, you humans said that dynasty...was Tang?" Qingyan straightened up, tilted her head and thought about it, and after answering, she seemed to think of something, and asked curiously: "What year is it now? This world is so strange. The things I am familiar with are gone, and Su Mu is not here."

Lu Xing realized that the person named "Su Mu" should be Qingyan's master, so he calmly said: "It's already the 21st century, to put it simply, it's at least a thousand years away from the time when the girl transformed into a human form." More than 300 years." In 300 years, no matter whether Su Mu is a human or a demon, he may have already entered the cycle of hell by now.

However, Qingyan didn't seem to be aware of this. She didn't even understand the concept of 300 years. She counted with her fingers, and finally sighed "It's so long", raised her eyes and smiled again, Full of expectation, he asked Lu Xing, "Can I entrust my lord to do things for me?"

Lu Xing was taken aback for a moment, and Qing Yan said again: "I know this is Qi Xie, Qi Xie doesn't do human business, so you can help me with things, right?" Her words made Lu Xing unable to refute, he At first he nodded his head in agreement, but later he realized that he asked with a smile, "Is the so-called entrustment meant to go to Su Mu?"

"That's right, that's right," Qingyan clapped her hands in front of her chest, "She is my master, I'm going to find her."

"But there are so many people, how can I find them?" Lu Xing didn't seem to want to embarrass her, and the question was quite straightforward.However, Qing Yan seemed a little puzzled, and asked with a blink of her eyes, "Sir, won't you collect the commission fee first?" Lu Xing didn't have this attitude when he was in the antique shop.

Lu Xing couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "You talk first."

Qingyan blinked again. Although she was still a little confused, she still said "oh" and said, "Su Mu is my master. When I transformed, she was working with the white fox clan of Xishan. The original mountain god of Xishan was Xishan The gray wolf clan often went down the mountain to kill people and monsters for no reason, causing complaints. The white fox clan rose up and recruited warriors from all over the world to attack them. That’s when Su Mu joined the white fox’s camp, and that’s where I took shape.” After she finished speaking, as if she realized something, she couldn't help covering her mouth, and said in surprise, "Oh, Xishan... what kind of place is this?"

Lu Xing held back his laughter and replied, "If there hasn't been a mountain god clan named 'Xishan White Fox' in the past thousand years, the mountain god here is the Xishan White Fox Clan."

"Wow!" Qingyan exclaimed, stars even appeared in her eyes, and said, "In that case, if you ask Lord Mountain God, you will know where Su Mu is! When I separated from Su Mu, , Baihu has already won the position of mountain god, and Su Mu is one of his generals! He is majestic and powerful! He can play swords with style—" As she spoke, she wished she could perform a part for Lu Xing on the spot.

Lu Xing smiled so much that he supported his forehead, and it took him a while to calm down, and he said like a child, "Okay, okay, I'll just ask for you."

"Really!" Qingyan grinned, revealing a row of small white teeth, but she just smiled and remembered something, and said worriedly: "But my lord, you haven't asked me for the commission fee yet."

Lu Xing didn't need her to remind him, he naturally remembered, looking at Qingyan's worried look, he pursed his lips and smiled and asked, "Did I tell you to accept the girl's commission?"

"But you just said to ask for me..." Qingyan became anxious all of a sudden.

"That was just to help you ask about Su Mu's whereabouts. I didn't say that I would help you find her." Lu Xing could easily grasp this kind of word game.

Qing Yan was not happy, she stood there with her mouth pouted, clutching her clothes tightly.

"So", Lu Xing didn't want to tease her any more, he leaned forward, "I'll say now, I'll take
