Chapter 152 Borrowing Books, Gifting Knives
On such a deserted island where no one should have appeared, seeing such a mysterious young Taoist priest, and seeing him using two ferocious beasts as mounts and servants, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu were stunned and could not tell whether they were dreaming or waking up at the moment.
It was not until Hu Ye took the initiative to speak and greet the two of them that they finally woke up like a dream, and returned the greeting together with some surprise and some alertness.
Then Zhang Cuishan spoke, "In the Wudang Zhang Cuishan, this is the cumulative Jing Yin Susu. He was killed and drifted here when he went out to sea. He did not want to accidentally break into the Taoist priest's cave. Please forgive me for any rudeness."
Hu Ye smiled slightly: "It turns out that he is the "Iron Painted Silver Hook" Zhang Wuxia among the Seven Heroes of Wudang and the daughter Yin, the daughter of the "White-Browed Eagle King" leader Yin. Speaking of which, I and I have the same illness and love each other. They are also living on this deserted island because of their deaths at sea. They are only more than a month earlier than the two, so they dare not regard themselves as hosts."
Listening to the other party telling their origins casually, Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu's hearts were twitching and tightening.
The person who is at ease thought that since this person knew the identities of the two, he said that he was a living person from Middle Earth, not a god or a ghost.
The nervous one is that the other party even knew the fact that Yin Tianzheng had just founded the "Sky Eagle Sect" in Jiangnan, and most of them knew about the Wang Panshan Conference, and even knew that his husband and wife were involved in the dragon-slaying sword that "no one dared not to obey" and that the other party went out to sea might be to pursue clues to the treasure sword.
Although the Taoist man in front of him was heavy, he did not seem to be carrying excellent martial arts. But when they thought of the fear of the white bear when he saw the two of them, they all guessed that this Taoist man could drive the two bears, and must have beaten them with violent means, so the white bear was so afraid of the human beings at the same time.
From this point of view, this Taoist man seemed a little unfathomable. If he really had some plans for the Dragon Slaying Sword and took action against the two of them, they wouldn't be sure to deal with it.
The most helpless thing is that now everyone is on such an island, and even if they want to escape, they have nowhere to escape.
Hu Ye saw all the vicissitudes of life and his eyes were clear. He only saw the changes in his expressions of the two people, and he guessed their thoughts. He waved his hand and smiled: "Although I know that a virtuous couple is related to the Dragon Slaying Sword, I am not very interested in that Luo Shizi, and I also know that it is not on both of you at the moment, so you don't have to worry that I will have bad intentions."
Seeing that the Taoist was funny, kind-hearted, and open-minded, Zhang Cuishan not only felt ashamed of "judging a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart", Yin Susu was still not completely relieved and took the opportunity to ask: "Since the Taoist priest is not greedy for the dragon-slaying sword, what is going to sea this time?"
Hu Ye made up a reason with a familiarity: "I am a good person to travel. I have traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in Middle-earth for decades, so I planned to take a boat to sea to see the foreign scenery of various overseas countries. But I was blown here by a storm."
At the end, I made a very helpless move to spread my hands.
Yin Susu did not comment on the reasons he said, but captured a detail and asked in surprise: "Master Hu said 'decades', I dare to ask you..."
Hu Ye said this to her to ask her questions, and replied with a smile: "I am not talented, and now I am in my forties. I only know some methods of cultivating one's own nature, so I look younger."
Both Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu thought that he did not need to lie about this matter—but they could not have thought that this seemingly honest and pure Taoist priest had lie, but that this lie was not exaggerated to deceive others, but narrowed down to avoid scaring people—so they believed it, and while being greatly surprised, they became more and more sure of the extraordinaryness of this Taoist.
Seeing that the two had already given up most of their guards, Hu Ye enthusiastically invited them to visit the cave.
The couple also happened to continue exploring the truth and reality of this Taoist, and then agreed happily.
Hu Ye first led the way to invite the two of them to the cave.
After several careful cleanings, the two white bears were strictly enforced. Now the cave is very clean and there is no bad smell.
Zhang Cuishan and Yin Susu followed Hu Ye to the inside of the cave and saw that the walls here had obviously been trimmed and roughly looked like a square room. Three smaller holes were opened on the wall of the cave on the leeward side as windows, and the light outside turned into three light columns and shone in.
In this way, although the cave still looks a little dim, it can still see things normally.
On the other side facing the "window", a bed was cut and carved from a whole piece of rock. A layer of hay was laid on it, and several tanned seal skins were laid on the hay.
Several small holes, a half-square square, were taken out from the wall of the hole against which the bed was leaning. Each hole was filled with a book, but it was a "bookshelf" made of local materials.
Zhang Cuishan has a very good eye. Although he is a distance away, he can also see the inscriptions on the covers of those books. In addition to the "Tao Te Ching", "Southern Hua Sutra" and "Book of Changes", one "Martial Classic" that he has never heard of, and two "Lianshan Yi" and "Guizang Yi" that he has only heard of its name but has not seen it.
"Didn't these two Yi books be lost after the Wei and Jin Dynasties?"
Zhang Cuishan was both civil and military, and was well-versed in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. At that time, he thought of the origin of these two books and had questions.
Seeing that he was just staring at the two books, Hu Ye smiled and said, "Zhang Wuxia should be wondering why these two books of Yi still exist in the world. In fact, "Guizang Yi" has been passed down from generation to generation in my mentor's family, but it has not been passed down to the world. As for "Lianshan Yi", it did not exist after the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it may not be impossible to find it before the Wei and Jin Dynasties..."
"It's amazing!"
Zhang Cuishan was still confused, but Yin Susu was already blurted out.
"Before the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there is no such book as a burial object. You can only dig a few more and you will eventually gain something."
Hu Ye applauded and smiled, "Mrs. Zhang is better than men, and she is indeed extraordinary!"
Although Zhang Cuishan felt that it was inappropriate to disturb the peace of the deceased for an ancient book, he really yearned for these two Yishu, and his eyes always floated over involuntarily.
But he knew that such out-of-print ancient books were extremely precious, and the two sides just met by chance, so it was really hard to ask for borrowing them.
Seeing this, Hu Ye smiled and said, "These books are all manuscripts written by me. If Zhang Wuxia is interested, he can study them after he settles down."
Zhang Cuishan was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Hu Ye solemnly.
Yin Susu was not very interested in books, and her eyes were attracted by two other things.
On the stone wall next to the "bookshelf", two rectangular small holes were dug, and a sheathless sword and a black sheathed scimitar were placed inside.
The long sword is made of eight-sided Han sword, and the whole body is light yellow like some kind of crystal jade, but the texture on the surface is like wood.
The scimitar style exudes a rich exotic style. Although the blade is hidden in the scabbard, it still has a sharp chill. It is obviously a peerless magic weapon.
She turned her eyes and smiled at Hu Ye: "No wonder the Taoist priest is not interested in the Dragon Slaying Sword. It turns out that he has collected even more magical weapons and weapons, but he doesn't know if these swords have names."
Hu Ye knew that the cunning woman had not given up asking about her origin, but she replied with a smile without knowing it: "The sword is called 'Mingling', which is made by me with a piece of strange wood obtained from the desert. It is usually used as a weapon for my carry-on. As for the 'full moon scimitar', it is the spoil I harvested after killing a strong enemy. A few days ago, it was used as a tool to rest this cave."
When he said this, the smile on his face suddenly became a little narrow: "I have been studying Yiyu for many years and have some means to calculate the past and the future. I just took a lesson in my sleeves, but I calculated that the couple would give a young man on this island. At that time, I will give this knife to the son as a gift!"
