Chapter 140 Tiger Hill Sword Pond
Huqiu Sword Pond is considered an important place for the Tang family.
Originally, because of the legends from the last era, it was taken very seriously, like a forbidden area. But nothing has been discovered for decades or hundreds of years, so naturally we don’t take it too seriously. Nowadays, it is still a forbidden area in name, but in fact many Tang family members go swimming and playing in the water without anyone noticing, and the guards are very lax.
Because of this, ordinary guests couldn't go there if they wanted to, and ordinary servants couldn't go there, but it was very simple for Tang Buqi to say something.
Tang Buqi has just come back. According to the rules, he must go to see his parents first. He planned to take Zhao Changhe there after finishing his work. Seeing that Zhao Changhe was impatient, he didn't think anything of it, so he threw a sign to him: "Take my sign and no one will stop you. Go to a familiar place to take the guests there."
The servants all looked at each other in confusion. After a while, a maid hesitated and said: "I will take Mr. Zhao."
Tang Buqi didn't care much and waved his hand: "I'll go see my parents first, and I'll treat you to a nice place in the evening... uh, forget it."
I usually want to invite people to a "good place", but I seem to be worried about it, so I stop talking and leave in a depressed mood.
Zhao Changhe looked at his back and felt that this nephew might have a change of mentality... If he really worked hard, that would be a good thing. The eldest nephew is not a bad person, but he is a bit dandy and naive... uh...
Although I have always been just a fan of Tang Wanzhuang, and I really don’t mean anything like that, seeing her working at the desk with her clothes on and coughing is like looking at Zhuge Cheng. It is inevitable that I have a little respect and regret, and I often face her. Sometimes I can't say anything serious.
Just help a little bit if you can... Although this secret agent job has been completed perfectly, I can hand it over next time I see you.
While walking, he was thinking about diverging his thoughts. When he followed the maid onto the "Tiger Hill" in the back mountain, Zhao Changhe suddenly felt a little inconsistent.
How come this maid leads the way silently without saying a word?
No matter how high-minded your family is and no matter how much you look down on us Jianghu people, you can't be so unruly. After all, I am a guest brought by your young master personally. I will not flatter you along the way, but at least talk about the daily routine of the family and introduce the scenery along the way. It is always natural to talk about the legend of Huqiu Sword Pond, right?
Just as he was thinking this, the maid just said something: "Young Master Zhao has a good relationship with our young master?"
This is normal. What were you doing just now? Zhao Changhe didn't think much and said casually: "It's okay."
The maid paused for a while, as if she was searching for something to talk about. After a long time, she said: "Huqiu is a famous scenic spot in Gusu. It is said that an emperor was buried here in the last era. Have you been here, sir?"
“…This is your back garden now. It’s a tourist attraction. Anyone can come here. If you don’t know how to chat, don’t make it awkward.”
The maid lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhao Changhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he found a topic by himself: "Everyone can't know everything about the history of the era, and I only know part of the legends. People here really don't know much about it. What kind of emperor is the emperor's tomb?"
The secret thought in my heart is that according to the current world, it is the legend of King Helu of Wu. I don’t know what it is here.
But I heard the maid say: "It is said that he is a sword emperor. It seems that he is not a human emperor."
“So what’s buried here is fish intestine?”
“I don’t know, I’m just a little maid.”
…”
"Anyway, our Tang family has been looking for it for a long time. No matter whether it is the emperor's tomb or any sword, we can't find it. In the early years, there were people trying to understand the sword at the Thousand People Stone nearby, but they couldn't understand anything. Now there are people who put the Thousand People Stone there. Dry the quilt."
“What is the Thousand Man Stone? Killing a thousand people?”
“It is said to be the place where the Sword Emperor lectures and teaches swords.”
Zhao Changhe scratched his head. He didn't know if there were thousands of people in this world... No matter how much knowledge modern people have, they really can't know everything without relying on Baidu. But according to conventional wisdom, neither the Tomb of King Wu Helu nor the Thousand Man Stone should correspond to any Sword Emperor. Of course, there is no such thing as the Night Emperor. Things in the last era are also very different from the current world, just like history that has taken a different route.
On the way, I did see a large stone platform. I don’t know if it can accommodate a thousand people, and no one was drying the quilt. However, there were several Tang family disciples setting up a table and drinking wine, pointing at the surrounding scenery and the flourishing poetry.
Zhao Changhe shook his head and ignored it. He urged the maid who was craning her neck to look at the young master to hurry up: "What's so interesting here? Let's talk about which young master of the Tang family you want to seduce later."
The maid continued to lead the way reluctantly, pointing to the mountain stream next to her: "Actually, we are almost at Jianchi this way."
“I can go by myself if you want, right?”
The maid stopped talking again.
The maid's face was red, and Zhao Changhe pointed at his nose: "How did you know that I look like a servant of the Tang family who brought the maid to the back mountain to have sex?"
The guard looked him up and down, but became a little cautious: "Your Excellency has such a strong evil spirit, who are you?" The maid put her hands on her hips: "He is the bloodthirsty Shura Zhao Changhe! The young master's friend! The young master gave the sign to pass!"
Zhao Changhe glanced at her, and now he felt that my reputation actually gained some respect? He didn't want to say anything more, so he took out the sign and signaled it. The guard hesitated for a moment, but he didn't stop him.
Zhao Changhe went straight into the sword pool, and the little maid slipped in beside him.
"Hello." Zhao Changhe squinted at her: "Your mission has been completed. Go and do what you have to do. Weren't you very interested in the young master over there drinking and composing poems just now?"
The maid rubbed her little feet on the edge of the pool: "It's not good to leave like this. You will say that I am uneducated."
Zhao Changhe couldn't laugh or cry: "Speaking of which, the customs of your Tang family are quite good. How can you make fun of a servant who suspects that he is having an affair with a maid?"
The maid said: "The Tang family is quite elegant."
Zhao Changhe felt that the answer was wrong. Literary character and this aspect were two different things. Many families with a strong literary character were much stricter and crueler in this aspect. Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask about this trivial matter, I just came to see Jianchi.
So he ignored the maid and just went around the pond to experience it.
If there is evil in the pool, the Tang family's gentle sword spirit in the spring water may not be as sensitive to the evil spirit as my own, but after walking around the pool for a long time, I really feel nothing.
Zhao Changhe thought for a while, took out his banknotes and other things that could not be soaked in water, put them aside, found a stone to hold them down, and got into the water with a splash.
Anyway, no matter whether there is a little maid by your side or not, the gold leaf and the dragon bird cannot be left at any time, and they must be endured no matter how heavy they are.
Nowadays, his vision under water is no longer as good as when he was sent to Yangyang to fight underwater. The progress of Liuhe Divine Art has been enough to allow him to focus on his eyes. Not only can he see things more clearly, more subtlely, and further, but he can also see things underwater. Get adequate internal protection. As well as holding your breath underwater, the time can also be longer.
However, when I got into the water and looked at half a stick of incense carefully, I found nothing except a narrow water channel leading to the mountain stream. I didn't feel the so-called evil spirit at all.
If you don’t dig deeper, it seems that you will stop here and find nothing.
Zhao Changhe is not discouraged. This is normal. The Tang family has been here for several generations and has not found anything fishy. Why should he discover it as soon as he comes? Take your time.
I'm afraid it's useless to dig deeper. The Tang family has already dug it... If there is an alien space, there may be a special way to open it, just like the ritual channeling recorded by the Four Symbols Sect... Not to mention that it may not be here. ?
Zhao Changhe was thinking as he swam upstream, and when his head was about to come out of the water, he was suddenly startled.
The pair of lotus feet above were swaying in the water, and they almost hit their little feet with their face. Looking carefully, it was the little maid sitting on the edge, rubbing her feet leisurely and humming a little tune.
Zhao Changhe walked around angrily and got out from the side: "What are you doing here?"
The little maid seemed to be startled by him: "You, are you so fast?"
“It’s not that big here, half a stick of incense is down there, how can it be faster?” Zhao Changhe said angrily: “You know that I went down and I’m still here washing my feet, so you want me to drink your foot-washing water?”
“This pool is not very clean to begin with. Are you really drinking from it?”
…”
"The weather is so hot and the cool pool is here, who can't bear to take a dip?" The maid said confidently: "You went down to take a dip yourself and didn't let others take a dip. How can you be so overbearing?"
“Okay, okay, I’m the one who is overbearing.” Zhao Changhe was speechless as he dried the water vapor, picked up the banknotes and stuffed them back into his arms: “Now I have to go back to find Tang Buqi for dinner, so you can continue to soak your feet.”
How dare the maid leave him here alone? She reluctantly got up to wipe her feet and followed him back to the manor.
Looking at the back of Zhao Changhe who was striding forward, the maid couldn't help but chuckle, as if she was amused.
Zhao Changhe's eyes behind his back completely caught this smile, and the corners of his mouth also raised a smile.
Who said that there is nothing to be gained from this Huqiu Sword Pond?
Isn’t this a discovery?
This tells me that you are just an ordinary little maid, and you think I'm stupid...do you think I'm Tang Buqi?
