Chapter 64: The Day the Broken Sword Was Reforged [Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket! ]
It was already night when we left Jiandao Palace.
The lights in Chaoge City were just coming on, and the rainbow light was spreading, making it look like a fairyland.
The lights on the street floated, stretching like a dragon. Large and small boats and flying swords dragged bright spiritual light in the air, illuminating the red windows, green tiles, and painted buildings.
The shop assistants of the spiritual weapon shops shouted in the street, the flickering firelight and intoxicating aroma of wine came from the wine shops, and the clear bells of successful transactions in the auction houses echoed throughout the city...
Along the streets there are blind fortune tellers, plaster swindlers, hand-made talisman stickers, storytellers and wandering poets...all kinds of peddlers and hawkers.
Xiao Bai even saw some people selling fake glass and soap on the roadside, with a big "Xiao" character clearly engraved on the signboard.
If he didn't have something important to do right now, he would have stepped forward to argue and demand the copyright fee.
Turning on the remote sensing, Xiao Bai checked Mu Yun's position again.
She was actually still meditating in the deserted palace!
His face was as calm as still water, and he was not surprised by fame or disgrace, with only a faint black aura emanating from between his eyebrows.
On the street.
Yijianhu stood at the stall selling glass soap for a long while, stroking his chin with his hand, tilting his head, as if thinking about something.
"Whether it's buying glass for a dressing mirror or buying soap for washing your body, these are things women do. These things are not suitable for you."
Xiao Bai teased her deliberately.
The stall owner rolled his eyes at Xiao Bai.
"You are really good at saving money, my friend. Madam is so pretty but she still wears men's clothes."
Xiao Bai didn't care at all. Instead, he thought the boss was quite sweet-mouthed, so much so that he gave up the idea of asking him for copyright fees later.
Yijianhu didn't care what the boss said and stared at the words on the vertical flag sign in a daze.
She thought it was strange that for the first time she found handwritten calligraphy pleasing to the eye.
After thinking for a long time, he asked shamelessly: "Boss, what is this word?"
Xiao Bai's face darkened. "So you are illiterate?" An illiterate suddenly showed interest in the word "Xiao". Xiao Bai did not feel honored, but only felt horrified.
This woman's intuition is amazing! He quickly pulled Yijianhu away to prevent him from noticing anything, and whispered, "There are so many people on the street, and you are wearing the uniform of an elder of the Xueyan Sect. How can you be so embarrassing? That's the word handsome, remember it!"
The sword-fox held his chin and nodded, as if he was thinking about something or realizing something.
"Handsome Jun... no wonder he is so pleasing to the eye. It seems calligraphy has something to be praised."
Xiao Bai didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so he said hurriedly:
"Let's get down to business!"
Yijianhu raised his eyebrows and smiled, looked at Xiao Bai meaningfully, and gave him a wanton look that showed he understood.
Then he turned and walked towards the famous brothel on West Street.
Swallows of spring sunshine.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly realized that he had no money, so he turned around and asked Xiao Bai:
"Do you have any spirit stones?"
"No."
Xiao Bai still has a hundred spirit stones on him, but he will not spend a penny before binding with the Sword Fox.
After all, good steel should be used on the blade, and spiritual stones should be used on wives, so that you can get the greatest return.
"I gave all my spiritual stones to my wife."
Yijianhu narrowed his eyes slightly and scanned Xiao Bai's body again and again with his spiritual sense. He indeed did not find any spirit stones, but he always felt that this kid had hidden some private money.
Helpless, he curled his lips in disdain.
"Tsk, he's a henpecked man."
Xiao Bai immediately proposed:
"By the way, didn't you pick up the sword of the chief monk? And the wine gourd you brought out from the prison, these two things should be quite valuable."
Yijianhu's eyes twitched slightly. He didn't expect that a man as handsome and imposing as Xiao Bai could be so stingy that he even wanted to take advantage of a woman's money.
"First of all, I won't treat you. At most, I'll let you follow me into the private room and listen to some songs. There won't be a drop of peanuts or wine!"
You want to play multiplayer sports?
Xiao Bai nodded immediately.
"OK."
…
Eighteen pawnshops.
The name of the pawnshop is Eighteen Pawnshop.
However, Yijianhu didn't know this all along. After all, she was illiterate and thought that the Eighteen Pawn Shops was its common name.
This is the second largest pawnshop in Chaoge City. It is a joint pawnshop invested by 18 pawnshops ranked from the third to the nineteenth.
Unfortunately, even if all the eggs in the world were united, they could not defeat the stone and had to come in second.
The eighteen pawnshops were built in a grand manner, especially the huge signboards, which were blindingly bright. It was even more magnificent inside, as if one had entered a palace.
However, the roof seems to be under renovation...
After entering, Yijianhu went straight to the boss sitting in the lobby - a little old man wearing a purple brocade robe and a mustache.
The boss took Qi Shan's sword and Qiankun Ganlin wine gourd, his eyes slightly surprised, and after a quick glance at the sword fox, he bought them for two thousand spirit stones.
Yijianhu thought the price was not bad and was too lazy to pawn it off so he just sold it directly to save trouble.
She had no idea of the inflation over the past twenty years. The spiritual power content of a spiritual stone today was only half of what it was twenty years ago...
"Give me money! Why are you looking at me?"
Yijianhu said impatiently.
The boss stroked his moustache and took out a stack of yellowed account books from the deep of the counter drawer.
"Yijianhu, don't think that no one will recognize you just because you changed into clean clothes."
"This is our store's account book. Here is the pawn ticket you put down with your own hands. Look carefully!"
"You owe our store a total of 30,000 spirit stones. After deducting 2,000 spirit stones from these two items, there is still 28,000 left. Since you are a public official of the Dao League, I have not even charged you the interest."
"What do you mean by owe?"
Yijianhu suddenly got angry and grabbed the boss by the collar.
"Didn't I give you the sword? I advise you to be kind in business!"
The boss's feet were almost off the ground, but his face still had a calm expression.
"You still dare to talk about the sword? This morning you took the sword away from me and even poked a hole in the roof. I haven't even asked you for the repairs yet!"
Yijianhu cursed:
"You old man, don't you want to provide evidence? My sword was taken from me by the Lord Supervisor. What does it have to do with me, Yijianhu?"
The sword was held in the hand of the supervisor...
When Xiao Bai heard it, it seemed to be true, but also seemed like something was wrong.
The boss glanced down and said confidently, "My little brother may not be very skilled, but I recognized the sword on your waist, Fox Warden. It is the ancient sword with blue patterns that pierced through the roof of our store. What else do you have to explain?"
Yijianhu snorted coldly, and then said confidently:
"The Lord Supervisor released me from prison and returned my sword to me because he had a request for me. He asked me to capture the evildoer. I advise you, an old man, not to seize the prison funds privately and interfere with public affairs. If you cause losses, go to the Supervisor Palace!"
Upon hearing that Yijianhu had been reinstated, the old man suddenly became fearless and shouted at the top of his voice:
"Oh my god, the prison guard is trying to extort money, if you have the guts, just kill Xiao Ke!"
The pawnshop was very large, with dozens or even hundreds of people in the lobby looking over at the shop.
Xiao Bai thought, this woman looked bad, but she was not a real villain, otherwise the pawnshop owner would not dare to have such an attitude.
Yijianhu was annoyed by being stared at, so he threw his boss back to his original position.
"Stop yelling! You are old, do you have any shame?"
He immediately took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the counter with a thud.
"I'll give you the sword again. I'll still owe you the thirty thousand. You give me two thousand spirit stones. I need them urgently!"
The little old man shook his head like a rattle.
"Xiao Ke doesn't dare to take it. You can take this sword away at any time, and I can't afford to pay for the roof."
Yijian Fox raised his hand angrily and broke the sword into two pieces!
Snap——
Xiao Bai was stunned and felt a chill in his lower body.
The divine sword worth thirty thousand spirit stones was shattered just by bare hands.
"The sword is broken, and now even I can't take it away easily. Hurry up and give me the money!"
The old man was holding the two broken swords, his heart broken. This woman was really wasting a gift from heaven...
"It's not worth thirty thousand now."
"ha?"
Yijianhu kicked over the counter, took back Qishan's sword and the wine jug from the prison, then turned around and left.
As for the broken sword, she could return it and reunite it at any time, so it didn't matter where she put it, so she didn't take it with her.
The day the broken sword is reforged, it is the day to become rich overnight! The old man was so angry that he slammed his head on the ground and cried loudly: "The prisoner is robbing money!"
"The police arrested the murderer!"
"Capture——"
Suddenly, his face showed fear, his crying stopped, and he immediately got up and stood respectfully.
Xiao Bai was feeling strange.
A beautiful female voice came from behind.
"Why don't you sell these two things to me?"
Yijianhu turned his head and took a look.
——That was a pretty girl who looked like a maid at first glance! But compared with the two real maids beside her, she stood out from the crowd.
The woman had a slim yet graceful figure, she wore a pair of delicate red cloth shoes and a light pink long skirt like an ordinary lady.
The pretty oval face was mostly covered by tasseled bangs, her eyebrows were like distant ink, her eyes were like autumn water, her bun was like a crimson moon, and her body smelled like musk.
It was like the swallows that flew from the courtyard of the Wang and Xie mansions in the old days, now flying into the homes of ordinary people.
"You are... Feiyue?"
Yijianhu looked for a long time before he vaguely remembered the woman's identity.
Princess Feiyue smiled playfully.
"It's only been 20 years since we last met, Sister Fox, don't you recognize me now?"
Xiao Bai thought that the princess used the word "talent" very well, which fully exposed her age.
He didn't expect that Yijianhu and Princess Feiyue also knew each other.
The problem is, the princess is not a rude person, so why is the pawnshop owner so afraid of her?
"Why haven't you practiced Qi yet when you're over 30? Your talent shouldn't be so poor."
After confirming Feiyue's identity, Yijianhu was somewhat surprised.
After all, twenty years ago, the girl Feiyue’s talent was enough to enter the Xueyan Sect and become a core disciple.
Feiyue laughed tenderly and pretended to be angry:
"Sister Fox, you are such a fool. Why do you tell me my age in front of a man?"
Yijianhu scratched his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha, I remembered it wrong, but it's not right to not practice Qi at the age of 18."
When Xiao Bai heard this, he thought to himself, who isn't a little cutie who is always eighteen years old? Feiyue pointed at the sword and the wine pot in Yijianhu's hand.
"Feiyue is willing to pay three thousand spirit stones to receive these two things from Sister Fox."
I immediately asked my boss:
"Does Boss Zhang have any objection?"
"No, no, I have no objection at all, Princess, please do as you please!"
The pawnshop owner was so frightened that he dared not say a word.
Yijianhu was so happy that he couldn't help himself. He didn't expect such a good thing to happen. He handed over Qishan's sword and the prison wine pot to Feiyue in exchange for a large bag of spirit stones.
After completing the transaction with Yijianhu, Feiyue bowed towards Xiao Bai, very gently.
"Captain Xiao, how are you?"
Xiao Bai also clasped his fists in return.
"Meet Princess Feiyue."
After the salute, Feiyue instantly regained her cheerful and playful temperament, and said with a giggle:
"Don't be so formal. How about the musket I gave you last time? I recently got a more practical version."
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Xiao Bai feels more and more that there’s something wrong with Princess Feiyue, like a bad woman.
"May I take a look at it?"
Feiyue immediately took out a black broadsword and held it in his arms reluctantly.
"Give me the old one and I'll give you the new one."
Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the musket was too cheap, but the sword could still be used.
After exchanging for the broadsword, Xiao Bai did not take a close look at the specific structure of the broadsword. He directly put it into the ring and bowed:
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess."
He guessed that the sword must have a magical structure, and he didn't want to study it in public and be seen by others.
Feiyue said with a slightly disappointed look: "This is not a toy... I hope Xiao Jianbu can use this sword to catch bad guys instead of collecting it."
Xiao Bai thought: I'll catch your sister! Then he thought again, he really wanted to catch her sister.
Thinking of Mu Yun being in the palace at the moment, Xiao Bai kindly reminded him, "There are evil spirits active in the city right now, Princess, please be careful."
Feiyue raised her pretty face, and her eyes were filled with captivating spring waves.
"Demons and ghosts have always only harmed cultivators, haven't they?"
