I bent the devil

It was a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse.

Gu Jiu looked back and saw the young man stepping in against the light. Whether it was his posture or his flying expression, it could be seen that he was loved and valued by everyone since he was a child.

When Gu Jiu saw his appearance clearly, he was slightly taken aback.

Gu Panjian... How similar is it to Song Qingyi?

"Boss, can you show me this sword?" The young man came in with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand towards the shopkeeper. As for Gu Jiu, who was standing closer to him, he didn't pay attention to him.Although it was rude, those cat-like eyes looked at you with a smile, and when they were slightly bent, the arrogance became the air of a ostentatious young man, which was not annoying at all.

It seemed that no matter what he did, he could be forgiven.

However, this is just the feeling of others, Gu Jiu, who is the person involved, frowned slightly and felt a little displeased.He looked at the young man who was still stretching out his hand towards the store, taking it for granted. He didn't back away, but just stood there and looked at the store again.

Judging people by their appearance has always been the case. Although it is unfair, few people in power will be really tough.Compared to Gu Jiu, who was dressed in white clothes, anyone would choose to stand beside this young man in gorgeous and expensive clothes and well-dressed with arrow sleeves.

However, there is a kind of person in this world who is obviously not afraid of things.

In front of the sword that the young man calmly prepared to grab the storekeeper and raised his hands flat in front of Gu Jiu, ready for him to take a closer look.I don't know what kind of action it was. In Gu Jiu's eyes, he should be a young man who would never fail, but he caught an empty hole.

Not only was he stunned, but even the young man didn't expect that he would catch nothing.The smile disappeared from his face, and he looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, as if he had only really seen the person in front of him now.

"I'm really sorry, this customer." Still smiling, the neither humble nor overbearing shopkeeper motioned to the young man and said to Gu Jiu who was standing beside him, "This customer came first and liked it, so I have to give it to him first." Look. Sorry."

The young man looked at Gu Jiu, rolled his eyes cunningly, and said to Gu Jiu with a half-smiling and coquettish smile, "Brother, can you give me this sword? As a congratulatory gift to the elders in the family."

Even if he was dissatisfied with the young man who completely ignored him just now, and now he smiled cutely, Gu Jiu still held back his anger and said in a warm voice, "Sorry, my younger brother has never had a suitable sword, he likes it. This sword has been around for a long time. I managed to save enough money and want to give it to him."

"If brother wants a sword, I have a better one here." The young man said hurriedly, and for some reason, he fell in love with the one that Gu Jiu wanted to buy, and he took off the sword on his waist Stretching out in front of Gu Jiu, with a bit of arrogance and disdain, "What do you think of this, brother? Let alone ten, such a sword." The young man glanced at the sword still in the store's hand, turned his head and continued. Looking at Gu Jiu, he said, "It takes at least a hundred to buy just a corner of the sword in my hand."

"Cho—" the sound of the sword being unsheathed, and a cold light reflected on Gu Jiu's face.Needless to say, just because the sword in the young man's hand felt a bit cold as soon as it was unsheathed, making Gu Jiu's face slightly itchy, he knew that it was an extremely memorable sword.

The young man looked at Gu Jiu proudly, and when he thought that the other party would agree, he saw Gu Jiu shaking his head.

"I'm sorry, young master, your sword is too expensive. Just like you said, a small corner of the sword in your hand is worth a hundred times the price of the sword I want to buy, but I can't afford it." Just when the boy was about to speak again, he rushed out another sentence. "And won't buy it either."

Facing the boy's blinking, Gu Jiu smiled slightly, "Because of my family, he is looking at this ordinary sword."

"A thousand pieces of gold don't change."

------------------------

There was a moment of silence in the armory.Not only was the young man blinking his eyes and looking at Gu Jiu silently, but even the storekeeper who had been waiting quietly next to them just had a look of peace in their eyes.

Some kind of shuddering feeling where the hairs suddenly stand on end.

"Young master, why don't you wait a minute. I still have a good Qingfeng sword in my shop, I'll show you it later?"

Before Gu Jiu could react, the shopkeeper took half a step forward and didn't get in between Gu Jiu and the young man. He only moved half a step, but Gu Jiu, who just felt his hairs stand up inexplicably, suddenly felt relieved.

It seemed that at the previous moment, the inexplicable tightening of the heart was just an illusion.

Something weird.

When Gu Jiu took half a step in the store, he took the opportunity to push away some distance from the young man. On the surface, it seemed that because the store was talking to the young man in front of him, he backed away a little to show respect, but in fact it was only because of self-consciousness. , just back away when you feel danger.

He didn't know if the feeling just now was the murderous aura in the legend, but this smiling young man who seemed easy to get along with gave him a feeling that the young man must not have the temperament he showed in front of others.

As a small person, even the only golden finger is a useless small person, you can always hide if you can't provoke it, right?

Gu Jiu just wants to buy something and leave quickly.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this sword?" Gu Jiu asked, and began to pay for the taels.

"Hey—" The boy wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the shopkeeper.

"Two taels of silver."

"Okay." Wang Er gave Gu Jiu five taels, as if he knew that Gu Jiu would not recognize double counts, so he just gave 5 pieces of silver of the same weight.So Gu Lin took out two of them and handed them to the shopkeeper, grabbed the sword and wanted to leave quickly.

But did not grab.

The resistance made Gu Jiu turn his head, and saw that the shopkeeper had already felt the sword, only the thumbs of both hands were lightly resting on the sword, but even so, Gu Jiu still didn't take the initiative, the sword was still held flat by the shopkeeper, motionless.

When Gu Jiu looked over suspiciously, he said with a smile.

"Guest, wait a moment, this sword has a special sword case. I'll find it for you."

As if on purpose, the store rose from the ground, lightly patted the beam with his hand, and a boxy object fell down. When Gu Jiu thought it would hit his head, he was caught by the store. Stop after two turns in your hands.

The color of the sword case was the same as the scabbard, it was dark and dull, not the kind of black that restrained the brilliance, but an old black that looked a bit dilapidated.

But even so, the storekeeper still carefully wiped off the ash on the sword box, and carefully placed the sword inside, closed it, and raised it horizontally in front of Gu Jiu again.smiling.

"--please"

"Ah. Oh. Thank you very much." Gu Jiu withdrew his eyes from the beam above his head, and took the sword box with the sword in a daze.It was only then that he noticed that the sword case seemed to be neatly placed on the beam of the room. Since it was something you would have when you bought a sword, Gu Jiu didn't say anything more.

Maybe it's like the shoe box you always have when you buy shoes?

"Guest, please use it well with your family." The shopkeeper said with a smile after patting the sword box lightly.

"Oh... ok ok."

Gu Jiu came out in a daze. He didn't notice that when the young man wanted to follow him, he was blocked by the smiling shopkeeper. He stayed in the shop for a while, and didn't notice that Song Qingyi, who had been hidden all the time, noticed the trace of the young man. Murderous, the step that had already been taken was paused after the store made a move, and it was taken back.

He leaned against the pillar, with most of his body hidden in the dark, quietly watching Gu Jiu disappear into the crowd, then took another look at the young man who was still talking to the shopkeeper, and then left.

Similarly, he didn't notice the shopkeeper who seemed to turn his head slightly after he left.
