Let’s talk about the boy Xingyan’s surprise that he got this “sword” and immediately dipped it in water and grinded it, hoping to polish it to make it brighter and more beautiful, and to estimate a good price when the pawn is done.

However, Xingyan felt a little strange that he had been thinking about it for a long time, but he only rubbed the mud and grass marks on the long sword. The dark background color of the sword body with gray was still not obvious.

After a while, he looked at it but still didn't improve. Xingyan said it heartily. Anyway, this is a thing I picked up for free, so I just want to use it as a few silver coins. I want him to tell me that this sword looks quite simple, and maybe it is a treasure antique. When I got the "Qingfengju" in the afternoon, I let Zhang Lao Chaofeng see it. Maybe if I have good luck, I can still get one or two taels of silver.

So the boy straightened up, picked up a piece of dry linen from the house, and wiped the sword body that was still dripping with water. He went back to the house and searched for a while, found a broken sack cloth, wrapped the sword, and tied it a few circles of ropes outside, and then leaned it on the earthen wall by the door.

After taking care of all this, Xingyan went to a stone plaza not far from the hut and helped his mother to slime a few pieces of tanned fur accumulated at home. This is not much tanned leather and saltpeter in his home. If it is not taken out for a long time, the fur will be burnt by the worm. If so, the whole piece of skin will be sold randomly for no money.

After working hard for a while, he was stunned for a while at his jade flute "Shenxue", and it was time to have lunch.

Because Xingyan didn't come back often now, Xingyan's mother cut off a piece of pine smoked deer and bacon from the muntjac on the wall, and cut it thinly to give her food for her son.

Speaking of this deer, it is just because it is smart and good at escaping, and it jumps between the steep rocks, like walking on flat ground. So the mountain people in the suburbs of Raozhou call this deer a "goat". If it weren't for drugging or burying animal traps, this "goat" would not be easily hunted.

After using up the meal, Xingyan greeted his mother and rushed back to Raozhou City excitedly.

Xingyan's father, Lao Zhang, went to hunt in the nearby valley early in the morning. Xingyan couldn't walk far from home, and saw his father's figure with a hunting bow laterally in a deep ditch beside the mountain road, and shouted at it. When the old Zhang heard that his son was calling, he turned around and smiled at Xingyan, shook his hand, and turned around to continue to drill into the bushes.

When Xingyan arrived at Raozhou City, the sun was slightly westward. Xingyan did not dare to be negligent and rushed to the only pawnshop "Qingfu Juju" in the city.

Speaking of "Qingfu Juju", it is logical that the pawnshop signs usually end with the word "dang". However, Zhang Da, the owner of Qingfu Jujuju, envied the character of the gentry and ended with the character "ju" ingeniously - to be honest, in Xingyan's opinion, the two words "Qingfu" and the word "ju" are placed together, which is quite inconsistent.

However, Raozhou City is not very big. Anyway, just his pawnshop, after a long time, everyone has become accustomed to it. Maybe if the Zhang Chaofeng had a whim and changed the name of the shop back to "Qingfengdian", the elders would feel uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, the boss Zhang, who lives in Qingfeng, is also a bit strange in temperament. He is born to not believe anyone other than him, for fear that the front desk will hire someone else to worship him. If he overestimates the price, it will be as uncomfortable as cutting off his flesh. Therefore, after asking someone from other surnames to serve as a counter for court, he makes him suspicious and restless all day long, Boss Zhang will go on the battle himself and become a court man on the counter. Over time, others will always refer to him as "Zhang Chaofeng".

And Zhang Chaofeng is not a stranger to Zhang Chaofeng. Seeing that Brother Xingyan was carrying a cross-bone on his back today, Zhang Chaofeng smiled and said to the boy:

"Brother Zhang, what other wild animals are there to be used for today?"

It turned out that if Dad Xingyan had any fresh prey in the past, he could not take off his hand for several days, so he came to the green fence and was fooled by Wen. If the living creature was kept at home and was barely fertile, this small family would not afford it. And this Chapter Chaofeng happened to be a bit of fresh food from the mountain delicacies and was stingy with the money at hand. Therefore, the two hit it off. In this Chapter Chaofeng always looked at Brother Xingyan, who came to "pawn" the wild animals. As for whether he often prayed in his heart to not sell the wild animals, it would not be known to outsiders.

After hearing Zhang Chaofeng's question, Xingyan quickly wrapped the linen strip behind him like a treasure, carefully placed it on the counter and praised:

"Zhang Chaofeng, I'm not here to pawn wild animals today. I accidentally dug out this treasure on the horseshoe mountain in my house yesterday and came to pawn it! Uh~ Don't frown first~ This is an antique!"

As Xingyan said, he began to untire the linen package carefully. While untiring, he also said that he had opened his Mati Mountain. The familiar allusion of Tianma Hoof Palm that was already familiar to prove that the things he dug out there were most likely to be antique treasures!

Besides, when talking about that Chapter Chaofeng, although he heard that Xingyan was not here to be a wild animal at first, he was quite disappointed. But after Xingyan's advocacy, he immediately became interested: the old and young man, the guests and the friends standing next to him, and the crowd stared at the gradually unfolding package in Xingyan's hand, wanting to see what the antique in the boy's mouth was.

……………………

…………

...

Finally, in everyone's hope, the torn linen package was finally torn apart, revealing the treasure wrapped in it-

"Hey?!" As soon as I saw the linen, Xingyan's boastful voice stopped abruptly, but instead he was a heartfelt scream!

——It turned out that the ancient sword that was originally wrapped in linen became a rotten iron bar with colorful rust!

"Wow hahaha~~~" When everyone who was waiting for the expectation and waiting to see the freshness clearly saw that the rust was extremely serious and the situation was terrible, a burst of thunderous laughter suddenly erupted!

"Cough~ Cough!~~ I said, Brother Xingyan, don't tease me! You antique, cough~ This 'ancient' is very ancient! But I'm afraid it's still a big part away from that treasure! Ha~~ Ha!"

These words of upset are from the old man Zhang who is now smiling a little breathless - he is indeed a pawnshop Chaofeng who has been around for many years. Although he is in the "bliss of paradise", he still objectively and fairly evaluates the value of this thing for the guests.

"I see, Brother Zhang, you're the 'ancient iron bar', so take it home to open the stove. For me, I can't even make a penny of this thing!"

It seems that the old man in this chapter did not think about Xingyan's past and cheap pawns of wild animals.

"Uh~ Cough~" Xing Yan, now with a flushed face, was a little uncomfortable with his speech. "Well, Zhang Chaofeng, can you just make me a few articles? - This, it turns out to be a sword! I don't know why it suddenly turned into a rusty iron bar!"

"Hahaha~~" Xingyan's incoherent words caused another burst of laughter from the visitors.

"Brother, please come back! ~ Next time I'll just take some fresh wild animals to pawn. Don't make fun of me, a little old man. I almost got angry just now! Put the iron bar in my arms and walk slowly!"

"Next!~~"

Hearing Zhang Chaofeng's long-lasting sound, Xingyan, who was confused, knew that things were not done today, so he had to wrap the rust iron randomly and fled in the panic amid the laughter of the whole house! ~~

On the way to Huayue Tower, Xingyan, who felt quite humiliated, was now full of suspicion:

"What, why is this happening? Could it be that I was stained with water when I was sharpening my sword in the morning and rusted in the afternoon?"

"No! I wiped it clean after the grinding. Besides, even if I didn't wipe it clean, it wouldn't be as rusted as strong as this afternoon, right?" Xingyan immediately denied what he thought just now.

"Yes!" Xingyan seemed to have thought of something, "No matter how rust it is, it will never turn from a sword to a rotten iron bar, right?"

"Is it because someone else secretly dropped the bag?!"

Although Xingyan didn't realize that there was anything strange on the road, after thinking about it, I'm afraid that this explanation can make sense.

Thinking of this, Xingyan, who had been suspicious, couldn't help but stop and pulled the linen bag in his hand. He wanted to see if this rotten iron bar still had any value. If it was really useless, it would be better to throw it away now, so as not to be so scattered in his hand.

"ah!"

It doesn’t matter if this is obvious, Xingyan was immediately stunned!

No wonder Xingyan was so shocked after pulling the package open. It turned out that what was lying in the linen was the old iron sword that had been grinding for a long time in the morning!

This originally inconspicuous old sword was now more shocking than any magic weapon in the world. Xingyan was even more shocked and gloomy than any magic weapon in the world. Even though Xingyan was sucked by thunder, he stood there in a daze, even without knowing that the sack cloth in his hand slipped to the ground.

"How strange! How strange!!" After a long time of stunned life, Xing Yan gradually came to his senses and exclaimed repeatedly.

"Maybe, I just got the wrong package in a hurry?"

"No, right! I clearly remember that at that time, there was nothing else on the counter except for his inexplicable rotten iron bar." Xingyan, who had a good memory, immediately denied this idea.

"Or, when I was the thief who had done the lost business, I felt regretful in my heart - so I replaced his own iron bar while I was not paying attention?" Xingyan, who was eager to explain the current strange situation, raised another possibility for himself.

"Uh~~ This seems even more wrong! Although my old sword is not worth much, it is always much stronger than that worthless rotten iron bar, right?" Looking back on the ridicule caused by the rusty iron bar, Xing Yan immediately felt that his inference was even more ridiculous than the one just now.

"Is it this...?!" Suddenly, Xingyan seemed to think of another possibility; seeing his expression changed a lot, he thought that his new idea was a bit shocking, and even he was shocked.

However, after a moment of pause, Xing Yan looked as usual again:

"This is also a bit incredible...it's even more impossible!"

"Okay, don't think about it anymore. Just hurry up and go! Haha~~"

So Xingyan bent down and picked up the torn linen cloth, wrapped the long sword again, held it in his hand and rushed towards the Huayue Tower.

After leaving for several martial arts, Xingyan couldn't help but start talking to himself:

"Oh~~ Speaking of which, this old sword is pretty good, but it's a pity that I've never been tapped. Look at how hard I've worked hard today, I think it's not easy to kick out the sword - maybe it can't be able to get the tip of it! That's why I was abandoned by my master back then?! Haha, hehehe~"

After laughing a few times, Xingyan, who felt that his speculation was quite reasonable, continued:

"I think this sword cannot be used to make the zither and the edge of the sword, but can only be considered a ruler. It would be better to wait until I return to the Huayue Tower and just find a servant to play. It is also considered a favor; if no one wants it, I will throw it away!"

After saying that, Xingyan made up his mind and rushed forward faster.

……………………

…………

...

I saw the boy take a few more steps and pass by a secluded and deserted place, but suddenly stop - taking a deep breath, calmed down, Xing Yan suddenly reached out and pulled the sack wrap:

I saw that in the reflection of the setting sun, the originally flat and dull ancient sword in the boy's hand had already produced two cold tips! - Like the blade of frost, when shining through the setting sun, it was actually a flash of light, like two pools of cold autumn water, which contrasted with the old sword body, and it became more and more shimmering. The blade of frost was like a mirror, reflecting the clear and clear eyes of the boy.

Although Xingyan was mentally prepared for this strange scene, he was still quite shocked when he first saw it.

However, after a moment, the boy returned to his calmness. After all, Xingyan had experienced so many strange things in just two days, and now he was a little surprised.

"Shame! It turns out that the old sword I picked up accidentally is really a psychic treasure!"

——Whoever gets something strange out of thin air will be happy, let alone this young man Xingyan! After he figured out the joints, he was immediately excited and danced with his hands and feet, and was so happy!

Just when the boy was overjoyed and was a little overwhelmed, he suddenly heard someone shouting in his ear:

"Brother Xingyan! I wonder what he understood again, but he was so happy and obsessed with it?"

Just as I was so happy that I couldn't suppress myself, I quickly looked back and watched—

"Ah! But it turns out it's you, your father-in-law!"

It turns out that this man who shouted, with brown clothes and black hair and childlike face, was the father-in-law "Yun Zhongjun" who had not seen for many days!

"Ha~~ I was given a flute score by my father-in-law that day, so that I could find food and clothing - this kind of fishing love, the boy always cares about it..."

When I first saw the benefactor's words, I was talking about it and just after I said this, my father-in-law Yun Zhongjun cut off the topic:

"Some little bit of awesomeness! My father-in-law came here today but didn't want to congratulate the young man!"

"I? Congratulations?" Xingyan was puzzled - could the father-in-law know that he had obtained the treasure so quickly? It would not be so fast.

"That's right!" Yun Zhongjun smiled.

"Uh~~ I don't know what my father congratulates me?" Knowing that Yun Zhongjun's origin was very good, and he received the favor from him for the flute and music. Xingyan spoke respectfully and said respectfully, and did not dare to have any qualities beyond etiquette. Although, Yun Zhongjun, who was not particular about the details, had asked him to call him "brother", Xingyan never dared to blame him and was still as polite as his teacher.

"Ha~ You young man, but you came to me to pretend to be ignorant - why are you calling me 'bastard'? In the future, we will be called 'Fellow Taoist'!"

The young man who was listening, heard this, was still confused and confused.

I heard that Yun Zhongjun continue to say:

"I came today to congratulate you. I am not yet in my prime, but I have already seen the way of heaven and blow all the strange songs of the immortals!"

It was not until this time that Xingyan understood a little: it turned out that this father-in-law Yun Zhongjun must have known that he used the "Taihua Dao Power" to blow out the strange song "Shuilong Yin" yesterday.
