Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 73: A thief always does what a thief should do
When Li Si set out on the road again, he had one more thing in his hand, a sword, a two-inch, three-foot, four-and-a-half-pound sword.
The sword body is like a pool of still water, with a clear and cold light that can cut hair with a single blow.
The scabbard was engraved with intricate seal characters, most of which Li Si could not understand. However, there was one character engraved in modern calligraphy that he could understand. It was a Tibetan character engraved in the center of the scabbard.
This word reveals the origin of the sword. It comes from Cangjian Valley. You know, the swords in that place are all famous swords that are worth a fortune for people in the martial arts world.
Li Si didn't know which sword he had in his hand, but he didn't need to know which one it was.
Because he had no intention of using the sword, he didn't even hang it around his waist. Instead, he put it in a cloth bag and carried it on his back.
He planned to return the sword the next time he met Dugu Bufu.
There are two reasons. First, he really doesn't know how to use the sword. He can only swing it around randomly. It's really a waste of such a good sword.
Secondly, he couldn't afford such a good sword, because with the way he swung it, there was probably no sword in the world that could withstand a few blows.
A few waves would cost several thousand taels of gold, but Li Si was not that wealthy. There were many things he could do with the gold, so why waste it like that?
Therefore, Li Si would not take out the sword before seeing Dugu Bufu again. If for no other reason , this sword was more expensive than everything he had combined. If it was broken, he could not afford the compensation.
Although he already owed Dugu Bufu a sword, and that sword didn't look cheap, Li Si was not the kind of person who would not worry about having too much debt.
After all, there is cause and effect in this world. Sooner or later, you will have to pay for what you have done.
He didn't want to be targeted by Dugu Bufu just because of one or two swords.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Dugu Bufu had already been thinking about him. As for the reason, he could only blame himself for talking nonsense after drinking.
…
Li Si here left the restaurant.
On the other side, the tiger girl also left the town.
She was preparing to enter the Central Plains. She wanted to find the so-called number one swordsman in the world. Moreover, she would continue to inquire about the news of various famous masters in the Tang Dynasty and challenge them one by one.
Because testing the tactics of these martial arts masters was also something Shu Huheng had mentioned.
As long as Shu Huheng said it, she would try her best to do it.
However, despite saying so, Shu Hu Nu knew very little about the people in the martial arts world of the Tang Dynasty.
So far, she remembered that she had only fought with one Tang person.
That was six years ago, when she was ordered by Shu Huheng to escort a golden Buddha statue.
And that was also the rare time after she mastered the sword technique that she failed to complete the order of her master.
She still remembered that the sky was very dark that day, the wind was blowing hard, and there were some problems with the transportation of people and horses, so they stopped halfway.
Then a figure came through the wind and sand.
The figure was very fast, as fast as a gray eagle in the desert. One moment it was far away in the sky, and the next moment it was right in front of him.
He was wearing a veil so that his face could not be seen clearly.
The tiger girl drew her sword and rushed forward, ready to stop the man.
But the man was too fast and her sword could not keep up with him. In addition, the wind and sand were very strong that day and the team was in chaos. She could only see a sea of people in front of her and could not see anything else.
So before they could even exchange a few moves, she had already lost sight of the man.
When she saw him again, he had already opened the box containing the golden Buddha statue, took it out, and turned to leave.
In desperation, the tiger girl threw the sword in her hand over.
The man looked back and dodged the flying sword, but it was also that look that made the tiger girl remember his eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes with a mole under the right eye, which Shuhu Girl still remembers.
Because after that incident, she took the initiative to go back to her master's house and receive two hundred lashes to remind herself of the incident.
She had more than a dozen scars on her body, but she never failed again.
She also promised that when she met that man again, she would kill him to wash away the shame suffered by the master's family.
The Tang people’s world?
The tiger girl took a look at the road ahead of her, and walked forward alone with a silent look on her face.
There were a few faint scars on the neck, which made him look a bit hideous.
She would do what she was commanded, she promised.
…
Luoyang.
At this time, Li Si was worried about his travel expenses. After wandering around the world for a while, his money was almost gone.
If this continues, he won't be able to afford even steamed buns .
Oh, what should I do?
In a small teahouse on the side of the road, Li Si supported his neck, looked at the people coming and going , and sighed.
How to say it, there are many people in the world like him who are worried about money, but there are very few famous masters like him who are worried about money.
He can be considered an alternative figure in the world.
Otherwise, Li Si thought, looked away seriously, and put his hand on the long sword behind him.
Pawn this sword.
The sword from Cangjian Valley can be sold for at least one thousand and two taels of gold. If it is sold, you will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life.
When Li Si thought about how he would spend his money in debauchery after having one thousand taels of gold, his eyes almost turned the color of copper coins.
But then he closed his eyes again and shook his head violently, dismissing the thought.
No, no, no, if Dugu Bufu knew about this, he would kill me.
The remaining desire to survive made Li Si stop this dangerous idea.
He picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, forcing himself to calm down his mind that was bewildered by the gold.
Li Si touched his waist again, as if he wanted to take out a few more copper coins from the empty belt.
But after searching for a long time, he only managed to pull out a jade pendant.
The jade pendant with the word "theft" written on it.
Some people may ask, why does Li Si always carry this jade pendant? Isn't this the same as telling others that he is a thief?
In fact, Li Si didn't want this to happen, but this jade pendant could prove his identity in some specific occasions and make things easier for him.
Compared to recognizing faces, Jianghu people are better at recognizing objects.
Whether it is the black market or the den of thieves, this jade pendant can save him from trouble, so he always carries it with him.
Before drinking tea, Li Si looked at the jade pendant for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had made a decision.
If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that I can do some other business in my family.
He thought so.
It's just a little troublesome, and you have to climb up the roof, tear off the tiles, and break into the house and pick the lock.
