Chapter 49: Sharp Edge (X)



The author has something to say:

If you have a sword as your boyfriend, then when you take a selfie——

Qu Lian was sleeping in Yan Changge's arms. The first selfie she took in the morning. There was no boyfriend beside her, only a cold look.

Chang Ge: Use your true energy sparingly

When Qu Lian pushed Yan Changge away to take a shower, she looked at herself beautifully after taking a shower and took a selfie. In the corner of the selfie door, there was a cold light.

Chang Ge: I just happened to be passing by at that time

Qu Lian took selfies while having fun with friends outside. After posting them on WeChat Moments, she suddenly discovered that there was a hint of coldness in one of the photos in which she and her friends were arm in arm!

Chang Ge: I'm just worried about your death

Qu Lian: …

Qu Lian could not obtain many of the information mentioned in the "Ancient Weapons Protection Law", and the property information had always been handled by Qu Feng. Qu Lian did not intend to do this himself. The first-ranked sword in the "Famous Sword Book" belonged to the Qu family, which was a big deal for the entire martial arts world, and he could not hide it. Moreover, a legal advisor was still needed to apply for a weapon license, and Qu Feng was more familiar with these than he was.

Qu Lian took Chang Ge, the "Famous Sword Manual" and a new copy of "Ancient Weapons Protection Methods" to see Qu Feng. Qu Lian could no longer bear to leave Chang Ge alone at home. That was his lover...his sword. If someone confiscated it and treated it as a national treasure, where would he go to cry?

Except for the Chinese New Year, Qu Lian rarely went to Qu Feng's house. This time he came without telling him in advance. Qu Feng was very surprised, but also very happy. Since his brother and nephew died, his only remaining nephew began to become cynical, but this year he started to live a serious life, and even his complexion looked much better than before. His always pale face became rosy, and this change made Qu Feng very happy.

"Why are you here so late?" Qu Feng looked at his watch. It was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Unless it was something extremely urgent, most people would not disturb others so late.

"We need to discuss this matter at night. I feel anxious during the day." Qu Lian was holding a long object in his arms, wrapped in thick cloth. It looked very bloated. He looked around and said, "Uncle, let's talk in your study."

Seeing his serious look, Qu Feng also became serious. He took Qu Lian to the soundproof study room and locked the door before asking, "Why are you so cautious?"

Qu Lian opened the cloth bag in his arms, revealing the long sword inside.

Although Qu Feng only had a basic knowledge of Kung Fu, he was familiar with the "Famous Sword Manual". After taking only one look, he exclaimed: "Good sword! This is..."

His eyes fell on the photocopy of the "Famous Sword Manual" that Qu Lian brought, and he continued, "What kind of sword is this? Are you sure?"

"Although there is no picture, I am sure that this is a Chang Ge." Qu Lian said in a low voice.

"The first magic weapon recorded in the "Famous Sword Manual", the long spear that has disappeared since the Ming Dynasty?" Qu Feng's voice was trembling. He had no shortage of money and didn't care about any treasures. But this was the long spear, a mythical weapon recorded in the "Famous Sword Manual". No swordsman could resist its charm.

"I'm sure!" Qu Lian nodded vigorously. "It is exactly the same as described in the "Famous Sword Manual", and I don't know what material it is made of. I even used it to cut diamonds, and such hard things broke, but the long spear was not damaged at all. The material used to make it is definitely not something from Earth. Didn't someone suspect that the alien black iron used to make the long spear was a meteorite?"

"You actually used such a precious treasure to cut diamonds!" Qu Feng felt heartbroken. He observed carefully and found that there was indeed no crack on Chang Ge's body, so he felt relieved.

"It's really Chang Ge..." He stretched out his slightly trembling hand to grasp the hilt of Chang Ge.

"Ouch!" Qu Lian suddenly shouted when Qu Feng was about to touch the hilt of the sword.

"What's wrong?" Qu Feng's hand stopped less than a centimeter away from Chang Ge.

"No, it's okay. I just want to remind you that this sword weighs more than 100 pounds. It's too heavy. Be careful when you pick it up." Qu Lian swallowed and said magnanimously with difficulty.

"Don't worry. I know the "Famous Sword Manual" by heart, so I know how heavy it is." Qu Feng's hand finally rested on the hilt of Chang Ge. Qu Lian felt uncomfortable in his heart and watched helplessly as his uncle lifted up his boyfriend with both hands.

“It’s so heavy…” Qu Feng sighed, “I didn’t expect that what is recorded in the book is true. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when bronze ware was in vogue, it was actually possible to forge such a magical sword. Modern technology cannot produce weapons that remain intact for thousands of years. This is truly a miracle!”

"Hmm..." Qu Lian bit her lip, really wanting to snatch Chang Ge from her uncle's hands.

Fortunately, Qu Feng was old and had no internal strength, so it was very difficult for him to carry more than 100 pounds in his hands. He quickly placed the long spear on the desk and carefully described its outline with his eyes. The more he looked at it, the more beautiful it became. Finally, he couldn't help but reach out to touch the sword.

"Hey hey hey!" Qu Lian shouted again.

"What's wrong?" Qu Feng raised his head and asked.

"Chang Ge really has sword energy!" Qu Lian hurried to the desk, picked up Chang Ge, picked up a piece of white paper at random, and blew it on the sword. The white paper broke into two pieces before it even touched Chang Ge.

"This... is so magical!" Qu Feng looked at Chang Ge with admiration, as if he wanted to touch it but didn't dare to.

Qu Lian heaved a sigh of relief, put Chang Ge back on the table, and said to Qu Feng, who was immersed in Chang Ge's heroic appearance: "Uncle, the state stipulates that weapons without weapons certificates belong to the state."

Qu Feng: “…”

At that moment, Qu Lian saw the emotions of distress, heartbreak, reluctance, patience, and the need to separate on the face of his uncle, who usually kept his emotions to himself. He quickly said, "But look at this!"

He handed the "Ancient Weapons Protection Law" to his uncle and turned to that page. The key sentences had been marked. Qu Feng was a very capable person. As soon as he saw that clause, he immediately snatched the book and read it carefully.

"There is no problem with the first, third, fourth and fifth items. Xiaolian, where did you find Chang Ge?" Qu Feng asked.

"Uncle, do you still remember where I sent those transformers that day?" Qu Lian reminded.

"Of course I remember!" Qu Feng looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What on earth are you doing? The transformer was just delivered there when it was struck by lightning, which happened only once in a century. There were thunders all night long. The next day, many people went there to check, but they only saw a charred area and the transformer disappeared. Did you find a way for superconducting transformers to affect astronomical phenomena?"

"...Uncle, you think too much. I was unlucky. The transformers were just transported there when thunder struck. So many transformers were superconductors, and they were all struck by lightning and turned into carbon ash. Oh, that's not important. What's important is that the lightning strike that day struck Chang Ge out from underground." Qu Lian took out the prepared map of Lincheng and explained in a fanciful way while drawing on it, "There is an ancient tomb deep underground nearby, but it was robbed by tomb robbers, so there is a thief hole. And on the day of the thunder, I don't know if it was an electromagnetic reaction, Chang Ge seemed to be attracted by a very strong magnetic force and flew from the thief hole to the place where the lightning struck. When the lightning ended and I rushed over, I saw it stuck in the ground."

Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, it is inexplicably completely consistent with scientific theory. Of course, this is all after Yan Changge's careful polishing.

It took Qu Feng a long time to digest Qu Lian's explanation. What he valued most was not the bizarre incident itself, but the place where Chang Ge was found. Whether it was the ancient tomb or the place where Qu Lian placed the transformer, it was the Qu family's land before the land reform!

He tapped his fingers on the desk a few times and said, "Tomorrow I will contact the Qu family's legal advisor and the history professor of Lincheng University, and let these archaeologists prove from the side that Chang Ge was originally buried in this ancient tomb. With clear legal provisions, the possibility of this being accomplished is very high!"

Qu Lian held Chang Ge in his arms. Hearing Qu Feng's comprehensive thoughts, the ancient sword in his arms couldn't help but jump for joy, and made a low sword hum in Qu Lian's arms.

"Cen——"

Qu Feng: "What's that sound?"

Qu Lian: “…”

Qu Feng's eyes fell on Qu Lian. Seeing that he was holding Chang Ge tightly, his clothes were torn, he couldn't help but wonder, "How come you weren't hurt by the sword energy when you were holding Chang Ge so directly?"

"Because the sword recognized its master," Qu Lian had already decided to tell Qu Feng about it, so that he would be the one to take care of the Long Spear in the future. "When I first found the Long Spear, I didn't know it still had sword energy, so I just touched it. I bled a lot at the time, and the blood was quickly absorbed by the Long Spear, and the sword energy won't hurt me anymore after that."

"The book says that Chang Ge is bloodthirsty and Ning Lizi melted it with his own blood. When I read the book, I thought that the truth was exaggerated by word of mouth in ancient times. I didn't expect it to be true!" Qu Feng exclaimed, "Don't tell anyone about this. It would be bad if someone thought that they had to get rid of the original sword owner first in order to seize it."

"Of course." Qu Lian nodded. He told Qu Feng about the magic of Changge because he trusted his family. As for outsiders, he didn't want them to know how magical Changge was.

"Well, but this sword aura is really troublesome. When I go to apply for a certificate in the future, I need a tester to test it. I can't even test it this way. At least I have to make a scabbard for it. But the "Famous Sword Book" says that Chang Ge's scabbard is made of a sacred wood that Ning Lizi has been looking for for many years. It is so powerful that I am afraid that ordinary wood and steel cannot be used to make a scabbard for it... There should have been a scabbard when it was buried alive. After the archaeologists enter the tomb, I will try to find the scabbard. I hope it has not been stolen by tomb robbers."

Chang Ge: “…”

Qu Lian: “…”

"Oh, I almost forgot that the Changge ancient sword has a scabbard that has been with it for more than two thousand years. I was wondering why you like the scabbard so much and even praised Xuanying's scabbard so much." After finishing the discussion with Qu Feng, Qu Lian took Changge back to the old house and said to Changge after returning to the bedroom.

The ancient sword lay obediently on the bed. It no longer had the power of a first-class magic weapon. It was as docile as a plastic sword on the training ground of Lincheng Police Station.

"By the way, when you turn into a human form, where is the head and where is the body?" Qu Lian poked the tip of the sword and asked, "Also, where is that place?"

The ancient sword pattern did not move, and there was no response to Qu Lian's sensing. Chang Ge seemed to have fallen asleep and did not hear what Qu Lian said at all. He was quiet and peaceful.

Qu Lian used his fingers to poke the sword and the handle, but the ancient sword remained calm, and he couldn't feel where it was more excited, and couldn't tell at all. Chang Ge's disguise ability was simply first-rate. They were now telepathically connected, but he still couldn't feel its emotional fluctuations. No wonder he could say those high-sounding words so seriously at the time.

"You are so hypocritical." Qu Lian said, "I actually thought you were a true gentleman, the kindest and most selfless person in the world! I was really blinded by you and was deceived by you."

Changge began to tremble in dissatisfaction. It has always been a straight and upright sword. Its upright nature can be seen from its appearance. What Yan Changge thinks and says is consistent with his words and deeds. He has never lied to anyone.

"You're still not convinced." Qu Lian poked the sword again.

The long sword rolled under Qu Lian, and using the principle of leverage, he flipped him over without using any real energy. He floated in the air and used the handle of the sword to hit Qu Lian's butt repeatedly as a punishment.

It didn't hurt at all, but it was so strong that Qu Lian couldn't even turn around and was hit hard by the handle of the sword. As Qu Lian was being hit, he was thinking wildly, wondering if the handle of the sword was his hand or his foot, his head or somewhere else. No matter which part it was, it seemed quite exciting.

As he thought about it, perhaps because he hadn't released his sexual desire for too long, Qu Lian was actually hardened by the sword. He couldn't lie there any longer, so he immediately pushed Chang Ge aside, jumped off the bed, ran into the bathroom, locked the door, and solved the problem himself with a blushing face. It was so embarrassing that he actually reacted in such a situation. It was a sword! Qu Lian never thought that one day he would love a person (or a sword?) to this extent, and no matter what he became, he would be able to react to him. This was simply...

Relying on the memory of Yan Changge's handsome face, Qu Lian got out. After finishing, he leaned against the wall of the bathroom to catch his breath. His blurred vision suddenly caught a suspicious reflection. He immediately put on his pants and strode towards the bathroom door. Under the crack of the door, he saw the tip of Changge's sword.

Qu Lian: “…”

He suddenly opened the door and saw that Chang Ge was motionless, as if it was a model sword that was thrown here by someone and did not fly here by itself.

Qu Lian sighed and said to Chang Ge on the ground: "I suddenly feel that you have become much more open since you returned to your original form. Come to think of it, you are not even wearing any clothes now, you are truly naked!"

Chang Ge: “…”

Looking at Chang Ge pretending to be obedient, Qu Lian finally held him in his arms and went back to bed to sleep. He was holding a sword, and suddenly felt a little lonely without someone holding him to sleep. Qu Lian couldn't help but said to Chang Ge: "Please turn back into a human quickly. I can't sleep well without your arm as a pillow."

"Cen——" Chang Ge murmured softly in his arms, which was the most firm promise.

Qu Lian fell asleep with a sword in his arms.

Yan Changge has disappeared for a week, which has made many people anxious. The first one is Shang Huaiyuan. Yan Changge had signed a contract with the "Kung Fu Master" crew before, and he would participate in the entire recording process of the program. The second recording will start soon after New Year's Day, but Yan Changge and Qu Lian cannot participate in the program at this time. How can Shang Huaiyuan not be anxious!

"It's useless to worry," Qu Lian said to Shang Huaiyuan, "Do you remember the lightning strike that happened once in a thousand years outside Lincheng a few days ago? Yan Changge and I happened to be nearby at that time. The ground there was blackened by the lightning. Yan Changge was seriously injured in order to protect me, and he is now in seclusion to recover from his injuries."

This was the excuse he and Changge came up with to explain to the outside world. The healing time could be long or short, and it could be said to be a facial injury. If they really needed him to show up, they would find someone of similar build, cover his face and have him lie on the bed. In short, they absolutely could not let "Yan Changge" suddenly become a missing person!

"Then why don't you show us a diagnosis and hospitalization certificate or something like that!" Shang Huaiyuan said anxiously, "We can explain that you can't record the show because of an accidental injury, and you don't have to pay a penalty."

Where can I find a hospitalization certificate? Qu Lian thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you one."

After seeing off Shang Huaiyuan, Qu Lian immediately contacted Shen Yifei. Captain Shen was also looking for Yan Changge (his phone had evaporated after being struck by lightning). After receiving Qu Lian's call, he quickly asked, "Is Yan Changge here? We found that the president of Lincheng Wushu Association has been acting strangely recently. We have tried to track him down several times but lost him. I always feel that he is doing something big recently. If we can get evidence, we might be able to catch some big fish. Director Xu had reached an agreement with Yan Changge before. It seems that the inspectors will be coming soon. Let him take advantage of this opportunity to perform well!"

Qu Lian: “…”

It was as if all the things happened at once. How could he find a Yan Changge to follow the big fish while recording a variety show and being inspected by the inspection team at the same time?

Oh, the Armed Police Brigade has been urging Yan Changge to become an instructor as soon as possible. It is said that they already have two soldiers who are obsessed with Yan Changge and are practicing how to use motorcycles every day. If Yan Changge does not show up in person to serve as an instructor, these two soldiers will become obsessed.

Qu Lian just had to repeat it a thousand times, ten thousand times: "Captain Shen, Yan Changge was struck by lightning!"

Shen Yifei: "..."

Although this reason sounded particularly unbelievable, his beast-like intuition told him that Qu Lian was not lying at all and every word he said was true!

In the end, Shen Yifei not only failed to invite Yan Changge to help catch the big fish, but also nodded and agreed to help Qu Lian issue a certificate of Yan Changge's injury for bravely doing good deeds to the program team.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yifei reported to Director Xu: "Yan Changge was struck by a lightning strike in a winter that has not happened in a thousand years."

Director Xu: “…”

How could he convince the inspection team of such an absurd reason?

It's not just Qu Lian who needs Yan Changge. Many people in this world need him. Although Yan Changge has only been in modern society for half a year, he has become an indispensable part of this society and no one can replace him.

Just when everyone was in a state of panic, late one night, Qu Lian suddenly woke up. The sudden shaking of the bed startled him, and the long spear beside him kept buzzing.

"Earthquake?" Qu Lian quickly picked up his cell phone and tried to find out where the earthquake had occurred.

Now that the Internet is well developed, within less than half an hour, the news that a magnitude 8.1 earthquake had occurred in a second-tier city in the south was released online.

"Such a strong earthquake, and it happened late at night. How many people must have died..." Qu Lian murmured as he looked at his phone.

【Take me there.】A familiar voice suddenly came into his mind.

"Yan Changge?" Qu Lian looked at the long sword beside him, only to see the long spear floating in the air, shining coldly in the quiet night.

[I can't move much, but you can.] Chang Ge's voice once again came directly into Qu Lian's mind, [You hold the sword, use me, and we'll go save people.]
