Chapter 73: Sword

Sheng Lanchu was quiet for a while, and said with a smile: “Princess, what are you talking about, my concubine can’t understand.”

“Don’t understand? Okay, then I’ll make it more clear.” Li Chaoge walked around Sheng Lanchu’s tea and walked slowly in Sheng Lanchu’s boudoir, seeming to be looking at her furnishings, “Actually, I’m listening to you. When Yuanjian was in trouble, you seemed to know too much about the Seven-Seven Living Sacrifice Method, not like reading a book, but as if you had experienced it. Naturally, this is just my personal feeling. What do you really reveal lies in Wu Jinyuan.”

“The second Wu Shishi?” Sheng Lanchu laughed, “I have no contact with Wu Shishi. The princess even opened the coffin of Wu Shishi. She must have been thoroughly investigated. Why is it related to me?”

“The most powerful thing about you is that everything you say is true.” Li Chaoge said, “Wu Jinyuan really wanted to monopolize the Qianyuan Sword and was killed by the Qianyuan Sword. However, he was a member of the officialdom, and Swordsmiths, blacksmiths, and others have never had any contact, so in a hurry, where did he go to find a fake Qianyuan sword that was so real that it even concealed Hong Chengyuan’s eyes?”

Sheng Lanchu was silent. She lowered her eyes and did not speak for a long time. Li Chaoge stopped in front of a painting and calligraphy and watched carefully. He said without hesitation: “The Qianyuan Sword was a sword forged by Kui Guoji’s national strength in the past. In the current world, this sword can be imitated, except for love eighteen years ago. The old village master who is obsessed with swords and indulges in sword-making will not think about it anymore. You said at the time that the old village master had found a blood slave and wanted to imitate a new sword like the Qianyuan sword. You didn’t say, but I think that apart from the blood sacrifice level, the other part of the old village master has already done it. This sword naturally does not have the supernatural powers of the Qianyuan Sword, but it is confusing from the outside that it does not understand the sword or does not understand it. Hong Chengyuan, who loves swords, should still be enough. You are the only one who knows that the old village owner casts imitated swords, understands Hong Chengyuan’s personality, and can get along with Wu Jinyuan at the same time.”

Sheng Lanchu remained silent for a while, smiled indifferently, and said, “What about it. I have one heart and one mind with him, doing housework for him, and taking care of his birth, but he is raising the outside room outside and treating his illegitimate child in a fair manner. Throw it in front of my eyes. He fooled me so, I made him suffer a bit, is it wrong?”

“That’s right.” Li Chaoge laughed and said, “I understand Madam’s feelings. There was once a man who was sorry for me. He wanted to squeeze his head when I saw him. Naturally, this is a digression. Go back. The topic. There is no doubt about the death of the first governor and the third governor. Only the second governor Wu Jinyuan is a bit too mysterious. Hong Chengyuan wants to push the death of the third governor to the water ghost, the wife is better. , Directly borrowing a knife to kill someone, really let a sword kill him. If it weren’t for actual experience, who would believe that a sword without ambition would drain the blood of a person?”

“The princess suspects that the death of the second governor has something to do with me? That’s really wronged the concubine.” Sheng Lanchu said coldly, “the concubine doesn’t know anything.”

“Then why did Wu Jinyuan know that Hong Chengyuan was going smoothly? For Qianyuanjian, why did he come up with the master of the sword? If no one is in the villa, I am afraid that Wu Jinyuan would not take such a risk.” Li Chaoge Looking at the inscription on the painting, he said slowly, “Has anyone told you that no one is perfect. Only the person who plays the role will be perfect.”

Sheng Lanchu sullenly asked: “What is this princess? Thinking?”

“I have heard that there is a kind of soul-changing technique. As long as you find two people with the same birth date, you can exchange the souls of the two. Someone once used this method to win the house, because it was too shameful, and slowly cut off. But. The old village master is obsessed with ancient witchcraft, and he can even find out the seven or seven living sacrifice methods. It should not be difficult to find more recent times and record more soul-changing techniques. The old village master is obsessed with sword-making throughout his life, and he does not fear the secular view. There was nothing wrong with it, but the last thing he should do is to disregard the human relations ban and want to restore the ancient famous sword, but he can’t give up his own daughter, so he gave birth to a vicious compromise. The blood quenching sword is to improve. The traction between the sword and the master, if the blood of the blood relatives is used, the traction will be stronger. Therefore, the person who should be bleeding for seven to four to nineteen days and finally jumped into the sword furnace for quenching should be The only daughter of the old village owner, the eldest lady of the villa, Sheng Lanchu who is held in the palm of everyone’s hands.”

Sheng Lanchu closed his eyes and didn’t want to listen any more. Li Chaoge sighed, turned around, looked at Sheng Lanchu and said: “The old village master is not willing to let his own daughter die, so he wants to use the soul-changing technique to let another woman with the same birth date and month die for her daughter. Later, his daughter will live as another woman. This is not a problem. There is no one else in the Cangjian Villa. The old owner only needs to adopt the soul-changing Sheng Lanchu as a righteous woman, so that her daughter can enjoy it again. A life of fine clothes and jade food. Among them, the only sacrifice is Xiaolian.”

Sheng Lanchu did not respond, and Li Chaoge continued: “Xiaolian is the daughter of an ordinary family. Her parents are patriarchal and greedy for money and love. She sold her daughter to the old owner for consistent money, without asking the other party to buy her own daughter back. What are you going to do? Xiaolian was controlled as soon as she entered the villa. The old owner refused to allow her to communicate with outsiders, but she still served her with fine clothes and jade food. Xiaolian thought that she had met a good person, but she did not expect. The other party just used her as a container for his own daughter’s suffering.”

Sheng Lanchu could not stand steady, and could not help holding the Duobaojia next to him. She opened her eyes, and tears were already in them: “I am not liked in my life, I recognize it. I have a low life, no better than my elder brother and younger brother, no better than the golden lady, and even no better than the man in the villa. Maid. But they shouldn’t give me hope, saying that they will raise me as a daughter, but in fact, they are discussing which day to implement soul-changing and let me die for the eldest lady. Princess, you are of honorable birth, parents Pampering, beautiful, and probably will not understand the mood of an ordinary woman like me. I accidentally overheard the old owner and the eldest lady that day, they? Father and daughter are discussing how to deceive me to change my soul. Mine. My life is changed to her, but the young lady still dislikes my mediocre appearance, far less beautiful than her own.”

Li Chaoge sighed silently, she actually understood. She has never been a favored person.

Li Chaoge asked: “What happened later?”

“Later I drank water and went into a coma without noticing it. When I woke up, my eyes were blindfolded, and the old owner said that he wanted to accept me as a righteous woman, but some procedures were needed, so I let me bloodletter to cooperate. I didn’t say anything at the time, but I knew that I had become another person. Princess, can you imagine what it’s like to bleed every day? My wrist has been cut too many times and I can’t find the knife. The wound has solidified and then torn open again, the blood has been flowing, I can hear the sound of my own blood draining. I lay on the couch and did nothing for a day, but even took two steps. Difficulty, when I moved a little later, I was dizzy, lying on the bed, like a cripple. But my mind is so clear, I know that the pain is just the beginning, and there is no righteousness in patience, because ?Because the true despair is yet to come.”

“Twenty days later, I finally can’t stand it anymore. I can’t make it for seven, seven or four? Nineteen days. I will die in two days. Anyway, both sides are dead. After taking the blood, before locking me up, I drew out the Qianyuan sword and stabbed him on the back. I didn’t intend to succeed, I just wanted to die quickly, but the old owner was so addicted to making swords that I stabbed him. Now, what’s more weird is that the sword began to **** the blood of the old village master automatically. I watched? The old village master fell in front of me without struggling a few times, and soon died. I was frightened silly. , Stumbled and ran out. I lost too much blood. I ran out of the secret room without walking a few steps before falling down on the road and alarming the maid. I thought I was dead, but I found out that they called me Miss.”

Sheng Lanchu raised her head and laughed uncontrollably, even tears came out of her smile. The expression on her face seemed to cry and smile, tears filled her, and she said, “They? They even called me Miss. After I reacted, I made the most vicious and most pleasurable decision in my life.”

Li Chaoge closed his eyes, already guessing what happened next. Sheng Lanchu wiped away the tears, her eyes gleamed in the dark, calm and mad: “I asked them to catch a maid named’Xiaolian’, blindfolded her eyes and mouth, and refused to let the other person say anything. I am. I searched it casually and found a lot of things from Miss Shan Da in Xiao Lian’s house?. Without my orders, the servants were filled with indignation, saying that Xiao Lian was stealing and wanted Xiao Lian to sink into the pond. You see?, the master decided You don’t even need to listen to the rebuttal of the crime. From the beginning to the end, no one said a plea for Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian was blindfolded and sank in front of everyone.”

Li Chaoge sighed long, she didn’t know what to say, the story was too tragic. Li Chaoge asked, “But those old servants, why did they admit that Xiao Lian had fallen into the water?”

“I’m a young lady, I just need to order a slave and maid to steal something too ugly. The people below can understand it and say that the other party has lost their feet. After she died, I let the monk chant by the lake every day, and I want her to be a soul Disintegrated, my mind is vague, and I have also forgotten who I am. Xiao Lian has suffered, she wants to taste one by one.”

Li Chaoge was silent. She remembered that after learning of Pei Ji’an’s betrayal in her previous life, she went crazy and retaliated against Pei Ji’an and Li Changle, which was no different from what Sheng Lanchu did now. When I was in the game, I didn’t feel it, but now listening from the perspective of an onlooker, I realized that it was crazy.

Li Chaoge didn’t know whether to ask Sheng Lanchu or himself, his voice was as soft as a feather: “Is it worth it?”

“It’s not worth it.” Sheng Lanchu sneered, straightened her hair, and said boldly, “But if I don’t do this, I can’t swallow the breath in my heart.”

“Then?”

“Later I went to see my parents and relatives quietly. They had the money from the old owner, and they lived much better than when I was there. I gave them a pension, and they should pay off their parents. For? Well, from now on, it’s a clean break, and it’s irrelevant.”

“What about Hong Chengyuan?” Li Chaoge asked, “He was kept in the dark by you until his death, and he was your puppet for eighteen years. Now, you have the new puppet Hua Lingfeng, but for the old man, you Do you have anything to say to him?”

“No.” Sheng Lanchu said coldly, “I first married him, because he was honest and loyal, and he would never disappoint me. As a result, he raised the outside room and treated me like a fool. Bring it into the villa. I can assist him to this high degree, and naturally I can destroy him with one hand. So at the banquet between him and Wu Cishi, I revealed the secret to Wu Cishi Villa and invited Wu Cishi to appreciate it. Our Tibetan sword. Hong Chengyuan is so happy and vain and greedy. He is easily persuaded by me to lend the sword to Wu Shishi. I have clearly warned Wu Shishi, don’t try to make the sword recognize the master, don’t want to be yourself? His blood dripped on the Qianyuan sword, but he refused to listen, which caused misfortune. I buried my eyeliner in the mansion, and everyone was eager to find out the cause of Wu Cishi’s death. Take it away and rush to hide the sword in a place before Hongcheng Yuanzhi. Later, things got worse and worse. I didn’t expect that idiot would be so arrogant and dare to kill the third Assassin.”

Sheng Lanchu noticed Li Chaoge’s sight and coldly curled the corners of her lips and said: “Princess, don’t worry, I haven’t gotten into the third custody matter. Since I changed the Qianyuan Sword, everything is out of control, if possible. , I also don’t want to make things happen and disturb you? These people in the court.”

In the beginning, she just wanted to teach Hong Chengyuan a lesson. However, the human heart is a monster, and once the evil desires are released, they can no longer be controlled.

Li Chaoge nodded. She heard a wonderful story today, which is roughly the same as she expected. Li Chaoge has no doubts and can’t figure it out. Li Chaoge patted his sleeves, showing a farewell gesture, and asked calmly, “Where is Qianyuan Sword?”

From tonight to Li Chaoge, Sheng Lanchu knew that she could not hold this sword. However, this is what belongs to the emperor’s family? It is also common sense to return it to the emperor’s family.

Fortunately, the Tibetan Sword Villa had borrowed the power of the Yellow Dragon for twenty years, and it was time to be content. Sheng Lanchu straightened her hair to restore her decent “eldest lady” posture, and said, “At the bottom of the lake.”

“Of course I know it’s at the bottom of the lake.” Li Chaoge raised his eyebrows and asked, “Where is the bottom of the lake?”

Although the lake of Cangjian Villa is artificially excavated, the water area is spacious and the area is not small. With so much silt at the bottom of the lake, Li Chaoge couldn’t dig piece by piece.

She doesn’t have so much idle time.

Sheng Lanchu was shocked secretly, this princess was smart enough, decisive enough, and cruel enough. Sheng Lanchu has met many people on the field during these years, but no man can match the princess’s temperament.

Sheng Lanchu lowered his eyes and said honestly: “In the west? South corner, the place where the rockery is built.”

When Li Chaoge got the news he wanted, he turned and left. If it weren’t for Qian Yuanjian’s whereabouts, why would Li Chaoge go to Sheng Lanchu’s house and listen to her talk about such a large amount of nonsense.

Sheng Lanchu’s life experience is a secret and a handle. With this handle in hand, Li Chaoge is not afraid that Sheng Lanchu will reveal to the outside world that the Qianyuan sword is in Li Chaoge’s hands.

Li Chaoge pushed the window, as he did when he came, and melted into the moonlight silently. When she was about to leave, she suddenly remembered something. She turned her back to Sheng Lanchu and asked: “Can you play the role of Sheng Lanchu well and take advantage of Hong Chengyuan’s vanity? Yamato Wu Jinyuan’s greed and hypocrisy. It can be seen that she is a master manipulator. You have this gift of insight into people’s hearts, why not use it in the mall, but use it to manipulate men?”

Sheng Lanchu froze for a moment, before thinking about it, and said, “The shopping mall is a world of men. If I don’t rely on supporting men, what else can I rely on?”

Li Chaoge didn’t speak, and jumped down from the edge of the window. Can a woman only use the man’s name if she wants to use her fist?

This is to be easier. However, she did not want to?.

She Li Chaoge, regardless of her reputation, she must bear her own name.

·

Li Chaoge took advantage of the darkness, and dived into the lake, and soon found Qianyuan Sword under the rockery. Tonight the moon was bright, the lake was sparkling, and suddenly a beauty emerged from the bottom of the water. Her face was white with pigment, her hair was like ink, and water drops hung on her chin. She came out of hibiscus in response to the clear water, and naturally went to decorate. However, such a glamorous and demon-looking beauty held a murderous long sword in his hand.

Li Chaoge swam slowly to the shore with the water. After landing, she casually brushed off her drenched long hair, and the water dripped along Li Chaoge’s delicate chin and slender neck, slowly drawing into the skirt of her clothes. Li Chaoge was unmoved, all her strength was on the ancient sword in front of her.

In terms of appearance, this sword is undoubtedly very beautiful, not the kind of bells and whistles, but the solemn, simple and powerful beauty. Li Chaoge held the hilt of the sword, his heart beating quickly.

She seemed to remember the feeling when the sword penetrated her heart. But now, it is in her hand.

Li Chaoge finally suppressed his heart palpitations, using his five fingers to pull out the Qianyuan Sword slowly. With the sword out of its sheath, Li Chaoge finally understood what is tiger roar and dragon yin, what is killing an enemy thousands of miles away? Besides, she finally understood why everyone who saw it? knew the danger, but couldn’t help it. Take it for yourself.

This principle is the same as Chuan Guoyu Seal, put on the road, but no one can ignore it? Ignore it.

Following Li Chaoge’s movements, Qian Yuanjian made a faint buzzing sound, like a greeting from an ancient master. Li Chaoge drew out all the sword blades, looked carefully at the moonlight and water, and said sincerely, “Good sword.”

She tossed and admired it for a long time, then put the sword on the ground, drew out her own saber, and slashed towards the Qianyuan sword without warning.

She used all her true energy with this trick, and didn’t leave any spare energy? When the sword was one inch away from Qianyuan Sword, a burst of silver-white streamer shrouded Qianyuan Sword like a shield, stopping Li Chaoge’s movements.

Li Chaoge made a full blow, but slashed on the shield light without piercing even a bit. Li Chaoge was numbed by the resistance. She slowly stood up, turned her head, and saw a familiar person standing behind the rockery.

Looking at her, Gu Mingke also thought she was crazy. Li Chaoge rubbed his wrist and said with a smile: “You have been pretending for so long and never admit it. It’s just a sword. Is this forcing you to show up?”

Gu Mingke really didn’t expect her to be such a fool. He used the shield light in front of Li Chaoge, and there was no need to hide it. After Gu Mingke gave up maintaining the character design, he finally felt his breathing much easier. He didn’t pretend to be a mortal anymore, and suddenly approached Li Chaoge, holding Li Chaoge’s wrist to look at it, frowning and reprimanding: “Naughty.”

Li Chaoge was still wet all over, she did not show weakness, raised her eyebrows? Struck back: “I didn’t cut that sword again, why are you so fierce?”

This sword killed her in a previous life, can’t she get angry?

Gu Mingke has rarely felt mood swings over the years. The last time he was angry, it seemed that it was when he didn’t ascend.

Gu Mingke looked at her extremely coldly and said, “I don’t know what to say, I just saved you.”

What role is Qianyuan Sword? This sword has killed people and quenched the soul, and its aura is very overbearing. If Li Chaoge slashed up with a sword, Qian Yuanjian’s murderous aura rebounded, and Li Chaoge would have to splash blood on the spot.

Li Chaoge didn’t believe it at first, but looking at? Gu Mingke’s cold eyes?, I thought she might have really misunderstood. But it is impossible for Li Chaoge to admit his mistake, she snorted softly, and said with yin and yang strange air: “Is it right that I am dead, so that no one can threaten Pei Ji’an. You should be like this?”

Gu Mingke nodded, yes, she is really capable. Gu Mingke coldly threw Li Chaoge’s wrist away, turned around and went back? Go: “When I am troubled. Do whatever you like, whatever you want.”

Look at Li Chaoge? Gu Mingke seemed to be really angry, with a hint of guilt in strangeness. She leaned over and picked up the Qianyuan sword, hurriedly holding two swords, and hurriedly chased to Gu Mingke: “You said, is the rumor of this sword true? For a illusory illusion? It can be a legend in the world, It provokes a friend to betray, a master and an apprentice to each other, and a husband and wife turn against each other. Is it really worth it?”

Li Chaoge’s body was filled with a breath of speechlessness, but he couldn’t hold his face down to admit his mistakes. Gu Mingke didn’t respond, and said, “What’s the matter with me.”

“Did you know that Sheng Lanchu is a fake? When you caught the water ghost, why didn’t you tell me?”

“The princess has her own opinions, but she doesn’t need to be reminded if she wants to.”

Alas, Li Chaoge sighed. Why is the temperament so big? Forget it, beauty has the privilege of losing her temper. Li Chaoge tolerated it. She hugged her arms, coughed in the autumn wind, and said, “It’s a bit cold.”

Gu Mingke ignored it. Li Chaoge continued: “If I have typhoid, I won’t be able to drive tomorrow.”

The night wind was silent, and a moment later, a woman’s cloak was thrown on Li Chaoge: “Wear it well, don’t delay your journey.”

Li Chaoge saw it with his own eyes? Gu Mingke’s fingertips flashed with silver light, and then it turned into a piece of clothing. Li Chaoge squeezed his cloak in surprise, and said in surprise: “Similar to clothes.”

Because it was originally a piece of clothing. Gu Mingke tried to maintain the personality at first, and then gradually gave up. By now, Gu Mingke has broken the jar. He said to Li Chaoge: “Since you are holding this sword, you should put it away. It? Anyway, it has been carefully cast. Don’t do any strange things.”

Li Chaoge nodded: “I know.” She handed the Qianyuan sword to Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke looked at the sword in front of him and asked in surprise: “What are you doing?”

“Help me get it.” Li Chaoge said disgustedly, “Do you have any eyesight? Jin, I can’t use my cloak.”

There are so many problems. Gu Mingke took the Qianyuan Sword with a cold face, and Li Chaoge bowed his head to tie. The breeze blew gently, and under the moonlight, the hilt of the Qianyuan sword was trembling slightly.

That is the long sword inside resonating.

·

Early the next morning, Bai Qianhe just got up, and heard that today they are leaving for Beijing. Bai Qianhe was surprised for a moment, and asked, “Why is it so sudden?”

“I don’t know.” Chu Mao, who came to pass the message, shrugged and said, “The princess and Gu Sicheng said so, we? Just do it. Anyway, everything is arranged, and it doesn’t matter when you leave. By the way, you pack it up. Come out quickly and help move the sword.”

“What to move?”

“Move the sword.” Chu Mao said, “The wife of Tibetan Sword Villa is guilty of the wrong things done by her husband and father, and wants her husband and father to make amends. She is willing to dedicate all the collections in the villa to the court. Eat fast and recite the Buddha to pray for the dead who died under the hands of their father and husband.”

Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows, thinking that this lady was clever, and knowing that the tree of Cangjian Villa was very popular, he hugged Li Chaoge’s thigh. Backed by a big tree, it’s good to enjoy the shade, and investing in a smart and ambitious princess has a much higher return rate than asking other people to surrender.

It really deserves to be a person who will grow the Hidden Sword Villa with one hand, dare to give up and dare to fight.

Before Li Chaoge left, he condensed the bones of the “Little Lotus” in the lake and placed them in the temple for overtime. Standing in front of the pagoda, Li Chaoge heard the neat sound of wooden fish inside the pagoda.

“The body form mentioned by the Tathagata is the non-physical form. All the forms are false. If you see the various forms, you will see the Tathagata…”

Li Chaoge listened, slightly confused. Bai Qianhe listened carefully for a while, and asked piously: “What do you have for lunch today?”

Bai Qianhe’s overly down-to-earth words instantly pulled Li Chaoge out of that kind of mysterious state. Li Chaoge sighed resignedly and said, “Let’s go back to Dongdu.”

“So we? What do we eat?”

“If you talk nonsense, I will add a dish and let everyone eat roast crane today.”

“…”

-“Qian Yuan Sword” is over.

The author has something to say: “Subhuti! What is Yu Yiyun? Is it possible to see the Tathagata in the body?” “No, Blessed One! You cannot see the Tathagata in the body. Why? “The Buddha told Subudi: “All aspects are vain. If you see all aspects, you will see the Tathagata.”-“Diamond Sutra”
