"You're really lucky!" Shi Huaijin picked up the dagger brought back by You Ling and looked at it over and over again.

This is a very unique murder weapon. It has two blades, big and small. The big one is shaped like a crescent moon, and the small one is bent back from the handle, shaped like a wave. The arcs of the two blades fit together, leaving only one for holding Live in the void.The blade is astonishingly thin, but it is radiant with cold air. The afterglow of the setting sun hits the blade, and the brilliance flows, which is incomparably exquisite.

Don't look at that big man who looks rough, but has a very thin heart. The handle of the dagger is covered with brown cowhide, which is soft and comfortable, and he doesn't know how to press a layer of complicated patterns on the leather.

It can be said that this is not only a murder weapon for chasing souls, but also a beautiful work of art!

Shi Huaijin suddenly reached out and pulled out Youling's hair, and raised the blade upright. As soon as the hair touched the blade, it broke in two.

"Well, it's very sharp!"

You Ling: ...

"Eh? There are words here." Shi Huaijin was about to return the dagger, but his thumb touched something engraved on the tail of the handle. When he turned it over, both of them were silent.

"You really can't be described as shit luck..."

"No wonder his name is Jin San'er."

This is a symbol composed of a herringbone plus an upside-down small character. Isn’t this the symbol after removing the three in gold?It is said that no one knows Jin San'er, but this symbol is definitely famous.

This is the most famous weapon foundry in the Wu Kingdom. The dragon never sees the end. No one even knows his name, but every weapon he forges has become a legend.

Because there have been no weapons with this symbol in the world in the past ten years, many people thought he was dead, and he was hiding in that kind of alley.

You Ling snatched the dagger, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop turning up... It seems that Zhan Xiao will like this gift. In other words, he will be able to see the Marshal tomorrow.

Just as the little musician thought, Zhan Xiao was rushing from Heifengling to Fengxiang City with the captives.

The originally mighty Heifeng Village Master was kneeling in the cage, his face pale and trembling.

He never dreamed that this little snake like himself could attract such a god like Marshal Zhan. The moment his neck was grabbed, the village owner felt as if he was in hell. He didn't want to experience that creepy feeling again for the rest of his life.

Li Zhun looked at the bandit leader behind him sympathetically, who told you to rob the goods delivered by the Changfeng Escort, and it happened that the thousand-year-old ruby—pigeon blood was hidden in it.

As for what the marshal wanted to do with this piece of red jade, Li Zhun buttoned his ears with his little finger, and he could understand it with his heels...

On the early morning of New Year's Eve, Shi Huaijin came out of the bedroom yawning, and saw that lazy You Ling was fetching water to wash up, and he teased, "Hey, I usually sleep till the sun rises, so I'm too active today." , your marshal's performance won't start until noon!"

You Ling looked at the sky: "Have morning tea, and then go to the palace from here, the time is almost there."

"Hehe, if you choose to climb over, the estimated time is about the same."

"..."

Although she couldn't help but say a few poisonous words, Shi Huaijin and You Ling went out early.

Even before Si time, the main city is already full of people, and it is very lively. Whether they are singers, storytellers, piano players or jugglers, they all want to do their best to make a fuss before noon, for the "great Nuo" ceremony preparations.

The so-called "Great Nuo" is a kind of exorcism ceremony left by the ancestors of the Wu clan. On the thirty morning, the clansmen will make a lot of noise, which is called "Camping Nuo". Strong and heroic men beat the cowhide drum hard, which is called "expelling Nuo".

The original Nuo was very simple, but after the founding of Dawu, it became an extremely grand ceremony.And the "War God" who beats the drums is naturally played by Marshal Zhan Xiao.

……

"There must be too many people." You Ling's shoes had been trampled on countless times, and she grinned in pain.And the further you go towards the palace, the more people there are.

Apart from the streets, various restaurants are even more overcrowded, especially the Qifeng Tower which is the closest to the palace, even the roof is full of people squatting.

"What's so strange about this? Everyone wants to grab a good seat and watch the marshal exorcise the Nuo." Shi Huaijin was also very helpless. He liked to be quiet, and this was the first time he participated in this ceremony in the three years since he entered the city.

But even if they couldn't squeeze in front of them, it didn't prevent the people of Fengxiang from watching this grand event.

In the north, in front of the Tenghuang Palace, two pillars with six people hugging each other rise from the ground. There are crossbeams on the top, and six iron chains as thick as calves are embedded. empty.This drum is as big as a house, which is really amazing.Because the sound of the drum has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and deterring evil spirits, it is also called Ding'an drum.

In front of the Ding'an Drum, there is also a slightly shorter column, which is the place where the "War God" used to beat the drum.Not only is the whole body smooth, there is no place to step on it, and even the top of the column is barely enough to stand on one foot.

"Two gentlemen, excuse me!" Just as the two of them were struggling to find a place, a dark figure rushed forward.

"Fourth floor!" Shi Huaijin immediately recognized him.

Lou Sigong cupped his hands: "The view here is not good, the host specially invited the two gentlemen to watch the Nuo ceremony nearby."

"Near?"

Lou Si pointed towards the east.

The two of them took a closer look, and at some point, there was another exquisite and beautiful building built there, with seven floors, not far from the imperial palace, and the top floor was just at the same height as the drum.

"I passed by five days ago, and I haven't seen any buildings here yet." You Ling wondered.

The corner of Shi Huaijin's mouth twitched: "Could it be that your landlord built it temporarily just to watch this ceremony?"

Lou Si nodded: "Mr. is right."

Shi Huaijin: ...

The corner of You Ling's mouth twitched: "It is allowed to build buildings so close to the palace without blocking the road?"

Lou Si glanced at him cautiously: "The landlord said that Mr. You would also come to see him, so Marshal Zhan helped to accommodate."

You Ling: ...

How many things did these two people do behind their backs, and when did they become so friendly?

Lou Si saw Shi Huaijin's expressionless face, and quickly added, "In order not to block the road and disturb the people, it will be demolished tonight."

Shi Huaijin & Youling: ... If it only takes one day, it would be fine to just build a platform, why build it according to the specifications that will last forever?

They really don't understand the world of the local rich.

But to have a good position, the two of them were not pretentious, and followed readily.

Sure enough, Master Ji had already prepared tea and wine, and was waiting for them on the roof. They were very familiar with each other, and they sat down and chatted without being polite to each other.

When the sun rose to the top of the head, there was a commotion in the palace, and the ceremony was about to begin.

As expected, the view here is very good, so you can clearly see that the gate of the front hall of Tenghuang Palace was pulled open with a combined force, making a simple babbling sound.Following the sound of the door opening, the onlookers fell silent and held their breath, like a pot of boiling water being poured into a river, the entire Fengxiang City was eerily quiet.

Holding a pair of huge drumsticks made from bison hind legs, Zhan Xiao walked out of the palace barefoot.Not only did he not wear shoes, but his clothes were also the same, with only an animal skin skirt around his waist.As for the exposed part of the body, it was coated with a layer of brown grease, and strange patterns were painted on it.

This kind of attire undoubtedly reveals the man's handsomeness and vigor.You Ling stared at Zhan Xiao intently, and swallowed.

As if feeling something, Zhan Xiao's gaze suddenly looked in the direction of the small building, and You Ling suddenly felt that it was not a human being who was staring at him, but a strange beast that would only appear in myths and legends, a strange beast that was astonishingly beautiful, The heartbeat suddenly increased by three minutes.

Zhan Xiao walked up to the pillar, breathed a sigh of relief, and flew into the sky with the two drumsticks that ordinary men couldn't lift, and stood firmly on the top of the pillar with one foot.

Ji Xuan couldn't help but praised: "Marshal is really good at kung fu!"

Shi Huaijin swept between his legs, and sighed quietly in her heart, if she hadn't been killed by a traitor when she was young, what kind of legend would have been created with this talent.

However, if this is the case, his achievements are beyond the reach of others.

thump -- thump -- thump --

The drumstick was struck three times, which kicked off the prelude to the grand Nuo ceremony. The sound of the drum was deep and majestic, like the whisper of the earth, and with the sound waves, it spread from the center of Fengxiang City to the surroundings.

In addition to the Ding'an Drum in the middle, eight small drums were placed in the four corners of the city's southeast, north, and east. When the drums were heard, they were knocked out in conjunction with it.

The muscles in Zhan Xiao's arms swelled, and he knocked faster and faster. You Ling saw his strong body, the pulsation of his muscles, and the beads of sweat oozing, and his mouth became more and more parched, and it was difficult to breathe.

For a moment, the drums in the city shook, and even the ground seemed to be shaking!

The crowd finally ceased to be silent and burst into cheers.

Especially the girls, clutching their handkerchiefs and holding their faces, shouting ahhhhh, discussing how masculine the marshal is!

What obsession?What is killing thousands of people?We don't at all!close!Heart!

The folk customs of martial arts are open, women can not only practice martial arts, but also don't have to abide by too many rules, which also leads to many people not knowing what restraint is at all.There are educated and sensible ladies like Miss Lingyue, and naturally there are also heroic and heroic men.

You Ling could clearly hear a stout girl downstairs saying excitedly, "I really want to help the Marshal lick the sweat off his body!"

You Ling: ...

An unexplained chest tightness, You Ling thought angrily, this is my marshal, so I won't let you lick it! ! !

Seeing his frowning, Shi Huaijin couldn't help laughing: "Do I need to pass you a handkerchief too, and twist it in your hand?"

"...Thank you so much!"

The ceremony lasted for a full quarter of an hour before Zhan Xiao jumped off the pillar, and that chic posture drew another burst of cheers from the crowd.

After Zhan Xiao left, Ji Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. You, the Marshal asked me to tell you that after the ceremony, he will go back to the Marshal's Mansion to tidy up his appearance before he comes to see you."

You Ling was taken aback for a moment, then said: "This is not far from the Shuai's mansion, I just happened to go there." Then she hurried downstairs and left.

Shi Huaijin wondered: "What is he doing in the past now?"

Ji Xuan smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, but it should take a while. I've already asked people to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner in Ruyi Building. It's still early, why don't you come and play a game?" He said, pulling out the gossip from under the table chess.

Shi Huaijin readily agreed.

……

What did you Ling do?

Could he tell those two people that he wanted to take a closer look at the marshal's heroic appearance?The pure yang body painted with oil paint was too attractive to him.

Coincidentally, the hurried little musician happened to meet Zhan Xiao at the gate of the commander's mansion. He casually wrapped in a robe, and when he saw You Ling, he was taken aback, quickly got off his horse, and welcomed You Ling in: "Sir, what are you talking about?" here?"

You Ling followed him through the main hall to the backyard, then coughed lightly, and glanced at the hidden guard behind Zhan Xiao.

Zhan Xiao immediately understood and snapped his fingers, and the hidden guards disappeared without a sound.

"Sir, are you going to say something important?" Zhan Xiao was a little puzzled.

You Ling turned his head away: "Take off your clothes."

Zhan Xiao: ...Although I don't understand why, as long as it is a master musician, he can't help but obediently do it.

After taking off the robe, it was indeed the one in the ceremony just now.

You Ling didn't say a word, and walked around him seven or eight times, just to enjoy the fun, Zhan Xiao's hair was all over his body when he looked at him.

"But what's on me?"

"No." You Ling shook his head, then took out a square box from his sleeve, opened it, Zhan Xiao was taken aback, it turned out to be a dagger.

You Ling hung the dagger on Zhan Xiao's leather skirt, twirled it around twice, and said with satisfaction: "It really fits well."

Zhan Xiao picked up the dagger, and as soon as he got it, he knew it was something extraordinary. He turned it over a few times, saw the symbol on the handle, and was stunned again.His father had always wanted to ask this weapon maker to make him a weapon, but unfortunately this person has disappeared from the Jianghu, and he did not expect that he would be able to do so today.

"A New Year's gift for you." You Ling looked up at the sky unnaturally, pretending to be calm.

Zhan Xiao finally came to his senses, and couldn't help but hugged his little musician, and You Ling got his wish and touched his muscular chest muscles.

"I like it very much." Zhan Xiao's voice trembled slightly.

Then, he seemed to remember something, rushed back into the room, and took out a box.

"Have you brought the flute?"

You Ling nodded, it was natural that he would not leave his body.

Zhan Xiao opened the box, and there was a piece of blood-red jade inside, which was extremely round and exuded a cold air.The marshal gently took his flute and hung the jade on it.

"That day at the Huxin Pavilion, you seemed to be interested in the blood jade on Du Yun's zither flute, so I went to find a better one. This one is definitely more than 5000 taels of gold." Zhan Xiao said with the corner of his mouth hooked.

You Ling opened her mouth wide: "You still remember what happened back then."

"I remember every word you said."

The little musician looked at his gentle eyes, and gradually, he also laughed.

This is the happiest New Year he has ever had since the master left.

It feels so good to be cared about!
