15 [If there is no one around](1/2)
Bai Yutang said that Tianzun had the same knife, and there seemed to be a story during this period.
"My master has many swords in the knife magazine." Bai Yutang said, "He is usually very lazy. I will go and clean the cabinet for him when I have time."
Everyone looked at Bai Yutang with a skeptical look, that's the meaning - how can you still clean up your room?
Bai Yutang is also quite innocent, "What's the problem?"
Everyone shook their heads together.
Bai Yutang continued, "When I packed the knife magazine, I found a box that was randomly placed on the top of the shelf. I had never noticed it before. There was a thick layer of dust on the box. My master often wiped the knife. This box probably hasn't been opened for a long time, so I was curious and opened it and took a look. There was an ordinary scimitar with a scabbard inside."
"What do you think of this?" Zhan Zhao asked, holding up the knife picture painted by Gongsun.
"It's very similar. The scabbard is also similar to what Tan Jin described. It has black leather and is engraved with patterns on it. It seems to be some stars or arhats... I didn't look too carefully."
"Yes!" Tan Jin nodded, "It's the mythical picture of the stars."
Zhan Zhao frowned, "What about later?"
"I'm very curious, so I took out the knife and prepared to take a look..." Bai Yutang said, as if helpless, "But the master ran in at this time. When he saw me looking at the knife, he pulled it over and said something very strange."
"What did you say?"
"What he said, 'It's better not to melt the stubborn stones, it's better not to look at them'." Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhan Zhao was curious, "Is the Tianzun usually speaking in this style?"
Bai Yutang smiled slightly, "It's not... I'm going to take you to see him when I have time."
Zhan Zhao nodded immediately.
Zhao Pu looked at Ouyang Shaozheng beside him with some confusion - Is this okay?
Ouyang also felt... It turns out that it is so easy to meet a living god?
"I want to see you too." Master Pang came over happily, "I heard that the Heavenly Lord is the Supreme Master of the Martial Arts."
Bai Yutang looked at Pang Ji with regret, "My master is not seen outsiders."
Everyone was silent for a moment and looked at Zhan Zhao together - isn't this an outsider? Is it considered an insider?
Bao Zheng coughed, he needed to keep calm and focus on the case and prohibit making jokes, so he waved his hand and "The young man continues."
Bai Yutang nodded, "Then he put the knife back on the knife holder, and I didn't care too much. After a while, I went back to Xiankong Island. Master Feige sent a letter saying that he wanted to eat crabs, so I sent it to him. I remember it raining heavily that day. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Master sitting at the table in a daze, holding his chin with one hand, and an empty box was placed on the table."
Everyone looked at each other.
Zhao Pu asked, "Is it the box that holds the knife?"
"Yes." Bai Yutang nodded, "I asked him, 'Where is the knife'? He said, 'It was stolen'."
...
Zhan Zhao was shocked, "Can anyone steal things from the hands of the Heavenly Lord?"
Bai Yutang shrugged helplessly, "I asked him this too, it turned out that the other party used a very despicable method."
"What method?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Someone sent a letter to the master and said I was going to get married..." Bai Yutang said, holding his forehead, "and he believed it."
Zhan Zhao opened his mouth wide, "And what..."
"The letter said that the girl was from Changzhou Prefecture, so my master went to Changzhou." Bai Yutang was helpless, "I found that I was cheated when I arrived, and when I returned to the valley, I found that I was stolen."
...
Everyone's mouth twitched - Is this OK? Could it be that the Supreme Invincible Heavenly Lord is a foolish person...
"What's strange is that the other party didn't steal money or his privately hidden antiques, but stole the scimitar in the box that looked worthless."
Everyone was surprised - what is the value of this scimitar?
Zhan Zhao wondered, "If you don't steal so many other good knives, just steal a scimitar? Why?"
"At first, I thought I might not be able to take away any other knife, because the box I used to hold the knife was made for my master. It was very solid and could not be opened without a key. Moreover, the box was pressed into the cabinet with internal force. It was impossible to take out without 50% of my master's internal force."
Zhan Zhao was shocked and thought to himself - I'm afraid there are really few people in the world who can take it out.
"But that scimitar has no mechanism and is just so stuck. I don't know if the master doesn't like it." Bai Yutang was quite helpless, "But after the knife was stolen, the master seemed to be worried for two days, and he was not in a good mood when eating crabs."
"I feel sorry?" Zhan Zhao also felt very sorry.
"I don't know." Bai Yutang shook his head, "I want to take him out for a walk and buy something to make him happy, but he said, 'This thing is kept for someone. It would be fine if you don't want it back then. If you lose it now, you have to find it. It's really annoying'."
"Oh..." Everyone nodded and felt it was understandable. It turned out that it was not Tianzun's knife. If you lost it, you would have to pay for someone else's compensation.
"Then was the knife found later?" Zhan Zhao asked curiously.
"My master went down the mountain and came back empty-handedly, only saying one sentence."
"say what?"
"The stubborn stone does not melt, and I will perish itself." Bai Yutang recalled for a moment and shook his head. "Master never mentioned this again, and I don't remember it."
"How long ago did that happen?" Zhao Pu asked.
"Soon, a year ago?" Bai Yutang recalled, "In autumn."
"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "The crabs are beautiful in autumn."
...
Everyone looked at each other silently - it seems that Zhan Daxia uses food to distinguish seasons.
"What does it mean?" Gongsun said to himself, "Tianzun said twice that the stubborn stone does not melt, is it a description of a person or a knife?"
Bai Yutang shook his head.
"Does the Heavenly Lord have any clues?" Zhao Pu asked Bai Yutang, "He doesn't know who stole his knife?"
Bai Yutang thought about it carefully, frowned, "Speaking of it..."
"Is it related to Dao Xingfeng or Dao Alliance?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"Well, once Lu Feng came to see his master. When talking about the recent situation in the martial arts world, he mentioned that the sword alliance has developed rapidly and praised Dao Xingfeng. In addition, he also said that he received a post from Dao Xingfeng and was going to attend a conference held by Dao Xingfeng." Bai Yutang said, "But Master asked Lu Feng not to be too close to Dao Xingfeng. In the future, if the sword alliance is free, the Tianshan Sect will not participate in it."
"Does the Heavenly Lord like Dao Xingfeng?" Zhan Zhao asked, "What are your comments on him?"
"My master rarely comments on others." Bai Yutang thought for a while, "but he said that Dao Xingfeng was too ambitious and never mentioned anything else."
Everyone nodded—it seemed to be a little related, but there was no evidence at this moment, so I couldn't say it.
...
At this time, the sound of the rooster crowing came.
Pang Ji yawned and looked at the sky, "It's almost dawn, hurry up and go back and sleep for a while."
Everyone dispersed.
Zhan Zhao noticed that Bai Yutang had a serious habit. When he left, he bent down and picked up the wine jars scattered on the ground and placed them aside.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly. Usually a person's habits and cultivation are reflected in details. The outside world's evaluation of him is really a bit of a matter of course and not fair.
Back in the room, Zhan Zhao stretched out and was about to lie down when the door opened, Bai Yutang stood at the door.
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows - he just praised him for his cultivation, so why did he break into the door?
Bai Yutang walked in and stared at Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao looked at him, and the two sides were silent for about half a cup of tea. Zhan Zhao spoke, "What are you doing?"
Bai Yutang put the knife on the table and asked with confusion, "You really are..."
"Shh!" Zhan Zhao went over and covered his mouth.
Bai Yutang was covered by him and looked up at him. After a long time, he broke through Kai Zhao's hand, "So it's really."
Zhan Zhao touched his nose, "You should be very tight, right?"
Bai Yutang smiled, "That depends on the situation."
Zhan Zhao also laughed, "You don't look like you, you are not the type of people talking about right and wrong behind your back."
Bai Yutang was still confused, "I just don't understand. As you are, you will come to Kaifeng Prefecture to help?"
"Oh!" Zhan Zhao waved his hand quickly, "It was entirely my own will to help Lord Bao investigate the case, and I had no other ideas."
Bai Yutang nodded, "Then be careful, but now no one in the Jianghu world except me and my master should have the ability to find out your background."
Zhan Zhao nodded, "I think so."
"You go to bed, I'm back to the room." Bai Yutang stood up and wanted to leave with a knife.
"Do you think it's very likely that Dao Xingfeng will send someone to steal your master's sword?" Zhan Zhao asked suddenly.
Bai Yutang stopped and looked back at Zhan Zhao.
"The head of the Broken Knife Sect seems to be using a Broken Knife. Although it is not a scimitar, he has done a thief in front of the Broken Knife Sect, and is still a famous thief." Zhan Zhao reminded.
"How do you know?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.
Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, "Did you forget who I am? Of course there are some sources of information."
