Chapter 146 Theft of the Sword
"Oh, I haven't had time to tell you yet. Three days later, I will hold a knife viewing conference in this house. In the past few days, many friends from the world will come one after another. This time, I invited all the people with faces in the world. At that time, I will introduce them to you, and it will be more convenient to walk in the world in the future. Haha, I dare not say anything else. When it comes to me, my friends in the world still give me some thin noodles!" Cheng Fangling did not forget to show off in front of his wife and children to prove his strength.
"So, thank you very much, Elder Cheng." Man Xiu never thought that he would be related to the world, but this was indeed the second time he heard someone willing to provide him with convenience in the world. The first time was Fang Ziyan. The jade lily she gave him at the beginning caused an uproar for him, but she also met Mufeng's father and daughter. It should be said that Qi Tianqing also indirectly fell in love with her. Man Xiu doesn't know what will happen to him in the future, but at least now, Cheng Fangling's family is in trouble. What are the eyes staring at his Cheng family aiming at in the dark...
"I don't know that the knife viewing conference that Elder Cheng just mentioned is a rally for knife viewing?"
"Speaking of my knife, I can't finish it for three days and nights! This is a famous ancient knife! It's called Daxia Dragonfinch! After dinner, I'll take you to have a look first! Wonderful, unspeakable!"
"Dad!" Cheng Lei looked nervously at Qingju and Caidie and wanted to say anything to stop his father's recklessness.
"Okay! If you go there later, you can't be seen by outsiders. Our own family hasn't seen it yet, right?
In the face of Cheng Fangling's persistence, Cheng Lei seemed very helpless. He always suspected that the mother and daughter who came to recognize his marriage had ulterior motives, but he suffered from the lack of evidence. Now my father even wants to take them to see the big summer dragonfinch. Isn't that he obviously telling them that the knife is here? Come and steal it! But I can't help it, but my mother didn't object! Only if you keep your eyes on it more closely, you must not let the thief take advantage of the time!
Cheng Lei stared at Qingju and "Colored Butterfly" fiercely. Qingju hurriedly avoided the sharp eyes, but "Colored Butterfly" had a head-on confrontation. Isn't it just that the eyes are more fierce than anyone else? Has Mu Lanzhi been afraid of anyone?
After dinner, after chatting for a while, Cheng Fangling took them to the treasure house of the big summer dragonfinch. I saw that the treasure house was guarded outside, and the door was locked tightly. Cheng Fangling took out the key and opened the door. After walking for a while, a second door appeared, which was still guarded. After walking through three iron gates in a row, he saw the true face of the Daxia dragon finch. At this time, the big summer dragonfinch is being placed on the table in the middle of the treasure house.
"Wow!" Everyone sighed almost with one voice. The big summer dragon finch is dazzling and dazzling, and the picture drawn in the book is not as good as one ten thousandth.
"This is the big summer dragonfinch! It is said that it was owned by Duke Wen of Jin, the five hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period. Although he was defeated by the famous sword Zhanlu, he still did not lose the name of his sword. I also spent half my life's painstaking efforts. After several tos and turns, I got this treasure knife, which is regarded as a treasure! ...Color butterfly, don't move!"
The color butterfly was preparing to go to the table with the big summer dragon finch. She watched it nearby, but she was stopped by Cheng Fangling. When I looked back, I saw where Cheng Lei was smiling.
"Dad..." "Colored Butterfly" shouted doubtfully.
"It's not that Dad won't let you take a closer look, it's just that this table has another mystery!" With that, Cheng Fangling walked to the side and turned a small disk. The central table suddenly turned open and was divided into eight pieces for a moment. Some were raised and some sank. After a while, it stopped.
"Dad, what does this mean?"
"You don't know anything. This big summer dragon sparrow is a treasure in the treasure. In order to prevent people from stealing it, I tried my best to protect it. If you don't turn the disk just now, I'm afraid you will be shot to death by random arrows as soon as you get on this table!"
"Ah?" "Color Butterfly" couldn't help but be a little scared after hearing it.
"Okay, it's all right now!"
"But how can I look at this high and low?"
"You asked in such detail, but do you want to hit this knife?" Cheng Lei finally couldn't help it.
"Leier, how to talk to my sister! But I'm just curious and want to see the knife up close.
Cheng Lei stopped making a sound, but his eyes were not inseparable from the butterfly.
"Dad, I won't watch it!" Caidie was not only angry when she saw Cheng Lei being so aggressive.
"Leier!" At this time, Feng Baoer said, "Accompany me to see this legendary summer dragonfinch!" Although it's our family, it's the first time you've seen it! Sister, Caidie, Manxiu, you come too!"
Cheng Lei reluctantly stood beside his mother and walked with several people to the side of the table. Feng Baoer first moved the high and low platform a few times, and then the platform returned to its original state.
Ah? This table is flat again!" "Colored butterfly" not only shouted in surprise.
"Yes, it's not flat. How can we go and see it?" Feng Baoer said kindly.
"The eight pieces just now are gossip. As long as you find the right position according to the gossip map, the natural table will return to its original state. If it can't recover, this is still a mechanism. As long as people come up, all kinds of daggers will be released under the stage, which can kill hundreds of people at the same time!" Cheng Fangling explained later.
"Ah! Gossip picture?" "Colored butterfly" said to himself, and couldn't help looking at Qingju again. And it seems that Qingju doesn't quite understand the truth.
"The gossip refers to the universe, and each of them has its own corresponding hexagram shape. In the eight trigram, "one" represents Yang, and the "--" disconnected in the middle represents yin. For example, Qian Gua is three yang, and Kun Gua is three yin. Coupled with the relative universe, Kanli relative, Xunzhen relative, and relative, as long as the hexagram shape that appears in the upper corner of this stage is in the right position, it will not be a problem for the table to flatten naturally. Man Xiu saw that Qingju and Mu Lanzhi didn't understand something, so he added an explanation.
Mu Lanzhi looked back at Man Xiu, but hurriedly turned her face back.
Several people came close to watch the big summer dragonfinch, which is really an unforgettable knife! The knife body is made of bronze, which is extremely exquisite and lifelike. The four words "ancient weapon" engraved on its back are even more domineering, which makes people worship.
And this night, everyone had their own worries, and no one could really sleep peacefully.
Sure enough, from the next day, many people came to Chengfu one after another. As soon as they dressed up, they knew that they were all people in the world. Cheng Fangling and Feng Baoer entertained every guest warmly and were very busy.
Fortunately, these people don't live in Chengfu, but just come to visit in advance. Some of them talk about the past, some meet for the first time, only stay for a while, and then leave. For three days in a row, Manxiu has really known a lot of people in these three days, but these so-called people with face are not the supreme martial arts as he imagined, or the heroes of the world, or the elders of various factions. They are all vulgar and people who often fight and kill. This made Man Xiu very disappointed. Man Xiu seems to have nothing to do with Jianghu, whether from his background, experience or martial arts. Therefore, most of the conversations only listen, and the content is nothing more than that yesterday this faction destroyed that faction. Today, that faction got the help from another faction and came back to seek revenge. Tomorrow, the two factions will turn against each other and agree on where to sign a life-and-death situation, and decide whether to win or lose in the martial arts... and other similar topics, Man Xiu really heard it. It was boring, so I quietly left the living room, found a secluded place, and enjoyed the flowers more quietly.
"Huh? You are here!"
Man Xiu looked along the sound, and it turned out to be Mu Lanzhi.
"I saw the pastor today. It turns out that he and the Cheng family also know each other."
"Yes, it's a pity that they don't know me!"
"Congratulations!" Man Xiu didn't want to talk to her at this time, so he turned around and planned to leave.
"Thank you!" Mu Lanzhi's low thanks made Man Xiu stop. The scene of the past magically flooded into the mind: from the first meeting in the market, to being captured to the Holy Hand Hall, to find the treasure map together, to Jiangning Mansion to explore Hou San's secret forbidden place, to Guanyin Temple Mufeng's father and daughter's resentment, to the reunion in Chengfu now... Thinking about it, he The fate with Mulan is really shallow!
Man Xiu did not answer Mu Lanzhi's thanks, but continued to leave silently. Maybe, this is called predestined.
Finally, the knife viewing conference was held as scheduled, and the ancient dragonfinch, the famous ancient knife, will finally appear under the attention of everyone. Cheng Fangling thanked everyone for their support while fully paving the way for his big summer dragonfinch. But when Cheng Fangling uncovered the silk red cloth covered with the knife in front of everyone, everyone was dumbfounded.
What kind of summer dragonfinch is this? It's obviously a wooden stick!
"Brother Cheng! This joke is a little bigger! Our brothers came all the way to see the majestic posture of the big summer dragonfinch, but didn't you think it was too much to coax everyone with such a wooden stick?
"Yes! We are not fools! Can't you tell the difference between a knife and a stick? Even if you play us, you should put on a decent knife! Do you really treat us like fools?"
Everyone's words and me, Cheng Fangling's face is really a little unbearable. He had just confirmed the existence of the big summer dragonfinch, but how did he move it up and become a wooden stick?
"Please be impatient. There must be something wrong with the servants when they moved the knife. Cheng will check it out and give you a reasonable answer!"
Cheng Fangling went away, leaving Feng Baoer and Cheng Lei, but they didn't know how to appease the people who were talking. He simply went with Cheng Fangling to check the whereabouts of the big summer dragonfinch.
"Sir, have you really lost this big summer dragon finch?" Seeing the empty space on the table in the treasure house, Feng Baoer not only asked worriedly.
"Dad, what about Qingju and colorful butterflies? Send someone to find them quickly! I'm sure that the loss of this big summer dragonfinch must have something to do with them!"
"Come on! Go find the second lady and Miss Caidie!"
After a while, the servants came back and reported, "I told the old lady that there were two sedan chairs out of the house just now. It was the second lady and the lady."
"What! I said, these two are not good things! They must have stolen the big summer dragon finch and went out of the house in the name of their father. What abominable! Come on, which direction are they going?"
"back to the young master, go east!"
Cheng Lei was going to chase him while he was talking, but Cheng Fangling stopped him, "Leier, forget it!"
