Although Sect Leader Gu's voice was very low, the old man glanced at him and asked him to speak less.
Shen Lie stepped forward nervously and said in a clear voice: "Hello, senior, I haven't seen you for many years." Then he looked at Old Sect Leader Gu, "You are Old Sect Master Gu, I have met you."
Old Sect Leader Gu stood up happily: "It is said that Shen Xian's nephew is tall and handsome. When I saw him today, he was indeed one of the most beautiful in the world. If he appeared in my star-watching sect dressed in white, he would definitely be mistaken for the disciples who watch the stars at night. It’s the immortal from heaven who has come to this world!”
Shen Lie smiled lightly: "...Thank you, Old Sect Master Gu, for the compliment."
The old man was holding the tea expressionlessly beside him, wondering why he agreed to let Gu Xinghai come to Hejing with him.
"No, no," Sect Leader Gu pointed at the old man, "Speaking of compliments, he usually praises you more."
"Cough!!" The old man choked on his tea for the first time in his life, and the tea almost didn't come out of his nostrils. He recovered as quickly as possible, endured the itchiness in his throat, and said calmly, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I rarely drink When it comes to other people, I rarely even mention my apprentice in front of him."
Old Sect Leader Gu frowned and looked at him displeased, why are you still trying to make trouble?
The old man raised his eyes and looked at him coldly. Even if he had too much drama, how could he add drama to others?
Old Sect Master Gu sneered, "If I don't speak, how can we talk together like a piece of wood or a piece of stone?"
The old man looked away indifferently, he was really a nosy and boring person.
Shen Lie was silent for a moment and said: "...I was supposed to visit senior, but I have been busy recently, so senior came first. I wonder why senior came to see me?"
The old man stood up and said: "Young Master Shen is serious, you are busy because of my disciple. If you were not there, it would take a year and a half to untie the knot in my disciple's heart about Li Qian. I still have time to travel." Jane, the breeze on my sleeves, I can’t give you any gifts for the moment, I only have this.”
The old man picked up a simple wooden box next to the tea cup and handed it over. The wooden box was about a foot and a half long, about a foot wide, and about five inches high. The wooden box was not painted, and it did not even have an insect-proof coating. The surface was simply polished. , so it’s not so prickly.
Shen Lie didn't expect that the old man was here to give a gift. The old man had already handed it to him with both hands, and Shen Lie couldn't help but accept it.
Elder Sect Master Gu said: "My dear nephew, open it and take a look."
Shen Lie lowered his head and opened it. Inside the wooden box lay a wooden board that was just right in width and length. There were four objects in the wooden board. The four concave shapes were the shapes of the four objects.
From left to right, there was a slightly strange-looking porcelain vase, an exquisite and exquisite Si Nan, a... long thick needle? There was also one... Shen Lie didn't recognize it at all.
Shen Lie raised his head and looked at the old man: "Senior, Shen Lie is stupid. I don't know the name of any of these things except Si Nan."
The old man didn't speak. He pondered for a while and then suddenly said, "Do you have anything else to do today?"
Shen Lie paused slightly and nodded: "Well, I need to get out of the city."
"Get out of the city," the old man said, looking outside. "It's almost time now. You have to leave the city. I'm afraid you won't come back tonight."
"Senior, these objects... are related to the night?"
The old man shook his head lightly: "It has nothing to do with the night. Since you are pressed for time, you can clean it up first and we will not disturb you too much. As for these things, my disciple is familiar with them. I will ask her to come over when she is not busy. Let me tell you, she is very articulate and can definitely explain things in more detail than I can."
Say it, the old man looked at Sect Master Gu: "Let's go."
Old Sect Master Gu stood up and smiled with Shen Lie: "Xiannie, we are leaving now. You work hard, young man, you will have a lot of potential!"
The old man also said a brief farewell, and the two elders left.
Shen Lie sent them to the door. After they left, he turned back and looked at the wooden box placed on the coffee table.
Wu Shaoning and others all came over. They did not dare to pick it up easily. After looking at it for a while, they raised their heads and looked at Shen Lie approaching. Wu Shaoning said: "Master, is there any hidden weapon inside?"
Shen Lie raised his hand to close the lid and said, "I'll ask Ah Li again when she comes back."
A secret guard whispered: "It's strange, why didn't the senior say it himself?"
"Yeah," another secret guard said in a very soft voice, "Why does it feel weird?"
Shen Lie didn't know either, but the old man behaved "strangely", which made him somewhat uneasy.
On the other side, Sect Master Gu, who came in behind the old man, also asked: "Why were you acting weird just now?"
The old man said nothing and did not stop until he reached the eaves of the backyard. He stood with his hands behind his hands and suddenly picked up the broom beside him to sweep up the wood edges and sawdust in the backyard.
The wooden box and the wooden layer in the middle that were just given to Shen Lie were made here by him.
Elder Sect Leader Gu brought the bucket over, thought about it, and suddenly said: "Hey, you don't want to find something to talk about for them, do you?"
The old man said calmly: "One is leading the troops outside, and the other is buried in a mountain of documents. If you can give them something to talk about, just add one."
"Ouch! I really didn't see how open-minded you were!"
"Enlightened?" The old man frowned and looked at him, "You use this word to describe me?"
"Why, did I describe it wrong?"
The old man said with a cold face: "It's up to you."
He lowered his head and continued scanning.
After sweeping the floor, the old man seemed restless, so he took a hoe and went to the vegetable garden to loosen the soil.
Sect leader Gu was not idle either, and asked his assistant to get some strings of straw ropes. He sat in the backyard and started weaving various flowers, birds, insects, and fish. Soon, each one came alive in his hands.
The clerk was curious and asked if these were for sale, and Old Sect Leader Gu happily said that he would give them to the children nearby.
Quan Jiuwei had been in the cellar with his ears raised high, listening to what was going on outside.
These people seemed to treat him as if he didn't exist. They said whatever they wanted and ignored him.
This feeling really scares the whole nine dimensions.
As the sun set, the old man checked Yang Guanxian's injuries and received a message from Xia Zhaoyi, saying that she would not be back today and might have to sleep in Shuangyan Palace on Yujie.
After giving away small toys to the children nearby, Sect Master Gu went to the Dengqian Tea House to take a stroll and heard that Shen Lie was not coming back either.
Sect Leader Gu Duoguo inquired about it and found out that it was the people who carried the coffin to the funeral palace before. Since the food and supplies of the funeral palace had been exhausted, many people came out.
Old Sect Leader Gu shook his head and came back. He entered the room and muttered to himself with a smile: "Young people are all busy, so it's good to be busy. It's good."
When he looked up, he saw an old man coming from the backyard holding a wooden stick. Old Sect Master Gu went over and said, "It's not even midnight yet, are you going now?"
"Well, leave early and come back early."
"Okay, I'm going to get a knife, you wait."
Elders do not kill people, but Old Sect Leader Gu's Wangxing Sect does not have this rule, even though Old Sect Leader Gu has never killed many people in his life.
There are many Xia Family Army soldiers left by Xia Zhaoyi in Jinxing Restaurant, so it is easy for Gu Laozong to order a sword.
Shopkeeper Hu came out after hearing the sound and saw them using sticks and knives. He quickly asked them where they were going. Old Sect Master Gu smiled and said, "If little girl Ali sends someone back to ask, just say that we are looking for Quan Jiuwei's adoptive father."
