hold treasure

Although the other party didn't say anything, but looking at it like that, he was terrified.

It's just that, anyway, he is a real veteran, the old guy who has seen the big wind and waves still put down his things and walked over.

He was limping, but he still seemed to be underestimated.

Wang Xiaoliu'er clasped his fists together, without saying anything, the other party also clasped his fists, then opened the door, turned sideways, and made a gesture of "please".

The two of them are old acquaintances. According to their seniority, this cripple Huang is also from the generation of Wang Xiaoliuer's grandfather, but even if Wang Xiaoliuer can call him something, the cripple Huang dare not continue, which makes sense. Simple, first, although they are regarded as peers, they are not regarded as the same family.

Second, Wang Xiaoliuer's methods are much tougher than Huang Zizi's, and Huang Zizi knows this best.

What is the most important thing in walking the rivers and lakes?

It is not loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, but hard power.

For these ruthless people, the most important thing is the strong.

When Wang Xiaoliuer came over, he didn't see Huang Zizi's son, so he put down his things and asked, "Who is that?"

"Still in the hospital."

Huang Lizi grinned, stretched out his hand to signal Wang Xiaoliu'er to sit down, Wang Xiaoliu'er was a little surprised, and asked, "Is his injury recovering well?"

"The injury has healed by seven or eight points, and it is basically fine."

"Is he out of the hospital?"

"I got a little nurse in the hospital, and I don't want to leave."

"..."

Wang Xiaoliu'er was speechless, but Huang Xizi smiled, "My son, our business is over, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Wang Xiaoliuer nodded, and put the things in his hand on the table. After the yellow cripple was sure, he nodded, and he limped to the side, "That's fine, that's fine."

Vegetables were stewed in his pot, and obviously he hadn't eaten yet. At this moment, Wang Xiaoliuer came, and Huang Zizi didn't neglect him. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Wang Xiaoliuer must have something to do when he came here this time. , but he wasn't sure if this matter would harm him. Seeing Wang Xiaoliuer's attitude, he was half relieved.

Wang Xiaoliuer was not too polite, and sat opposite Huang Zizi. There were not many dishes, just a big pot of stewed chicken, two dishes of cold dishes, and a small pot of rice.

Cripple Huang likes to drink, Wang Xiaoliuer brought two bottles of good wine, but the old man didn't have the nerve to open them directly, but went to the house to get two jars of rice wine.

The rice wine is not very strong, and Wang Xiaoliu'er is also with him. He is not afraid that the cripple Huang will tamper with the wine, because he has a special constitution and is invulnerable to all poisons. It was so thorough, so he didn't seem to care, very calm.

Cripple Huang has been around for so many years and has met many people. He knows that Wang Xiaoliu'er is not easy to mess with, so he can't help but admire him when he looks defenseless.

He was quite surprised, surprised that such a young man had such courage. You must know that there are very few people in the Jianghu who dare to drink the wine of his yellow cripple.

But Cripple Huang also understood, now that he and Wang Xiaoliu'er have evened out, the past grievances and grievances have been wiped out, and he doesn't want to have an unnecessary enmity with this master.

As for people, they have to lose face. The first time Wang Xiaoliuer let him go, he refused to accept it.

Wang Xiaoliuer played the second time, but he refused to accept it.

But can there be a third time?

Again and again, and again and again, it would be a bit shameless.

Thinking of this, Huang Xizi poured wine for Wang Xiaoliu'er, and asked Wang Xiaoliu'er, "Brother is here this time, maybe there is something wrong."

"Have."

Wang Xiaoliuer nodded, then smiled, "I want to chat with Senior about the past."

"An old story?"

Cripple Huang was startled, then looked at him, "Isn't the matter between me and your grandfather over?"

"Not that."

Wang Xiaoliuer said, picked up the spoon, scooped some chicken soup into the bowl, took a sip, and continued, "I want to ask you for advice, where is the Zhenlong sword hanging under the stone bridge now?" hands."

Huang Zizi fell silent when he heard this. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then poured himself a bowl of chicken soup and took a sip, "That happened 20 years ago."

"It's because it happened very early. I guess no one knows about it except you."

Wang Xiaoliuer looked up at him, "If I'm not wrong, you were the one who did this back then, right?"

"Hey, this is not it!"

Cripple Huang quickly raised his palm, then hesitated for a moment, and continued, "However, speaking of it, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Wang Xiaoliu'er raised her eyebrows, "How do you say that?"

"To be honest, this matter was actually done by my teacher."

Huang Zizi curled his lips, "At that time, the five of us crossed the Yangtze River together and went all the way north, just to expand our business in the north, but we didn't expect that when we arrived in Jiangcheng, we would encounter a catastrophe. Hmph, speaking of it, it's really fate man."

Huang Zizi said, pondered for a while, and then continued, "Back then, when five of us came to Jiangcheng, the five of us separated and went out to hunt for treasures. We went out for a walk, which really surprised us. Don't look at this place in Jiangcheng. Inconspicuous, but there are a few good treasures. We got together and told what we found. Speaking of which, the Zhenlong sword was discovered by a younger brother of mine. He is the youngest with us, but It is very capable, because of its lightness, it has a nickname in our circle, called 'Sai Huo Monkey'."

The cripple Huang blinked his eyes, as if lost in memory, "This kid, among us brothers, is the youngest, but he is quite capable, and he is very good at water, so he likes to hang around by the water. When he found out After that sword, he has never been idle. He wanted to take it away several times, but for some reason, every time he wanted to get it, he felt invisible, and there was an indescribable resistance stopping him. He. He was very annoyed at the time, but he had no choice but to come back and ask my master. Among the five of us at that time, we were three apprentices, my mentor, and an uncle of the mentor's family. We were fledglings at the time, and It’s not really a master, but those two uncles are well-known figures in the south. After they heard about this, they scolded my junior brother for being useless, and then took someone to see it secretly. When I saw the sword, I was startled, and said Ermin, look, what is the origin of this sword? When my uncle heard it, he opened his eyes with a secret method, and looked at the sword hanging under the bridge. He took a breath. He broke out in a cold sweat. He slapped his thigh and said that this sword is amazing! Maybe it is an antique, but this sword is not quite right. It hangs here brightly, so there must be something special about it. As a result, when my master heard it, he also made Shentong take a look at the surrounding situation. After a closer look, he was shocked. My master signaled everyone to go first, and after returning, he told everyone that the sword might not be Easy to do."

Huang Cripple sighed, "At that time, we had never seen the world, so we asked Master, why is it so difficult to handle? As a result, Master carefully told us that the sword is a magical weapon that is difficult to hold. I’m afraid there will be big trouble if I take it. But at that time, the few of us were short of money, thought it over and over again, but still couldn’t hold back, and decided to give it a try.”

Huang Zizi clicked his lips again, "But we didn't dare to move easily. We have been figuring out the situation nearby for more than two months. Later, we found out from the old people nearby. They said that this sword has existed since the Tang and Song Dynasties. Yes. It is said that there are always floods around here. Later, a Taoist priest named Yuan Tiangang suddenly came and said that he was ordered to cure the flood. After Yuan Tiangang came here, he also observed it for a while, and then Tell the local officials. Say I understand that your place has a large collection of water veins, and there are dragons hiding in it. If there are dragons coming in and out by the force of the water, there will be a big flood. As a result, the local officials were terrified when they heard it. What should I do? Can the flood be cured? After Yuan Tiangang thought about it for a while, he said to everyone, don’t worry, I’ll ask the higher-ups to see what it means. After Yuan Tiangang returned, he truthfully I reported to the emperor that there are Jiaolongs in the north, not just one or two. At that time, it was either Li Yuan or Li Shimin. After hearing this, I was terrified. What are you talking about? Are there Jiaolongs in the North? Where did the Jiaolong come from?"

Wang Xiaoliu'er also pretended not to understand, "That's it, for no reason, where did the dragon come from?"

As a result, Huang Zizi said, "The emperor at that time was also puzzled and couldn't figure it out. At this time, Yuan Tiangang said, I see that in this mountain, there is a surge of inspiration, and the king's aura is soaring to the sky. Connected, blessed by nature, or, in time, there is something extraordinary hidden here, nourishing the mountains and rivers with royal aura. No matter what the situation is, the insects and snakes in the mountains are nourished by spiritual energy. After a long time, it will become a disaster. The road stretches for thousands of years, so it is not surprising that there are Jiaolongs, if this is left alone, after a long time, even Li Tang's luck may be affected."

Huang Zizi looked at Wang Xiaoliuer, "Then Yuan Tiangang was a very powerful magician in the Tang Dynasty. He was especially good at divination and prediction. What he said couldn't be more fulfilled! Therefore, the emperor at that time was very panicked and asked What should Yuan Tiangang do? As a result, Yuan Tiangang kowtowed to the emperor and asked the emperor to imitate Qin Shihuang, collect the world's weapons, and cast 49 gold-armored bronze men to suppress the king's spirit in the mountains. , use a famous sword handed down from generation to generation to cut off the luck of the dragon and prevent the dragon from changing."

When Wang Xiaoliuer heard this, he couldn't help but look solemn, "49 gold-armored bronze men."

"Correct."

Huang Zizi nodded, and then continued, "After hearing about this, we also went to the local museum to inquire about it. After inquiring about it, we were shocked. It turned out that as early as the Republic of China, after a big flood, it was really A bronze man was found a few tens of miles away, heavily corroded, but extremely tall, but the bronze man was difficult to carry, and did not attract much attention. It was originally said that there were photos from that time, but after a long time, I couldn’t find them.”

After Huang Zizi finished speaking, he said, "Besides, the local people also said that there were indeed some legends that many years ago, there were indeed some legends that there were big iron lumps in the depths of the dense forest in this mountain. After researching for a while, the more I researched, the more I felt that this statement was not groundless. But, at least at that time, we didn’t believe it! We tried several times to directly steal the ancient sword, but it was troublesome. , there are too many people coming and going in that place, so it is difficult to do it. Secondly, there is a tab on the back of the sword. Behind the tab, a long nail is inserted into the bridge. It is really strange to say that the material of the tab is unknown. No matter what method we used, there was no way to disconnect it. In the end, my master and my uncle thought of a way. They pretended to be experts and mixed in with the team that came to the local research. What happened later , I’m afraid you know everything.”

Wang Xiaoliuer nodded, "You guys did it."

"Yes."

Huang Zizi nodded, "But I didn't go into the water at that time, I was not good at water, so I was on the shore to meet up. When your grandfather and the others knew about this, they concluded that we must have stolen the Zhenlong Sword, but what he didn't know was that, In fact, in order to get the Dragon Suppressing Sword, among the five of us, only one and a half survived."

The cripple Huang said, pouted his lips a little bit indignantly, and continued, "What happened that time, I'm really angry! It's really wrong for us to do this, but in the end, we didn't get any benefit, but it caused trouble. All dressed up!"

"How do you say that? Didn't you get the Dragon Sword?"

"I caught it when I caught it! I was cut off!"

The cripple Huang gritted his teeth and said very displeasedly, "After the bridge collapsed, something strange appeared in the water. I don't know what went wrong at that time. There was a bang and the bridge collapsed, but I don't know whether it was a bomb or not. What happened? I saw at that time that two waterlines were going upstream on the water, as if something huge had been scared away! If there was anything, I didn’t dare to do it, but that night, while it was dark, a few of us touched it.”

"I didn't go into the water."

Huang Lizi paused, "They went into the water to touch the dragon-suppressing sword from the bottom of the water, but it didn't go well. They went down several times but failed. After the seventh or eighth time, they found the sword! I'm a junior I got out of the water at once, threw the sword to the shore, and said I got it, I got it! Go! I was so happy at that time, I hurried to pick up the sword and wrapped it in a cloth, but at this moment, suddenly Suddenly, a huge splash exploded on the surface of the water, and immediately after that, my junior brother disappeared."

Huang Zizi's expression looked a little depressed, "At that time, my master and the others were also resting on the bank, and they were not paying attention to him. Suddenly, they were shocked when they saw that he was gone. At first, everyone thought my junior brother was exhausted. , drowning, they didn't even think about it, and after seeing a sound, they dived into the water one by one to save people. Who would have thought that as soon as they went in, my junior brother came out from a distance of more than ten meters from the original position He climbed up a big rock leaning on the surface of the water, his body was covered in blood, and he was in a terrible mess! When I saw something was wrong, he trembled and stared into the water. Look inside! I waved my hand and said, Er Min, what are you looking at! Look at him again, with his mouth open, trembling, and staring into the water with his big eyes! While looking, he was still kicking , go to a higher place!"
