Chapter 234 Dragon Abyss Sword
Not long after admiring the paintings, Yao Nianchun walked out.
He held a long box in his hands and brought it out and placed it on the table.
Then he pointed at the long box and said to Li Daoxuan with a smile: "Brother Daoxuan, this is the treasure I want to give you."
"What treasure?" Li Daoxuan was very curious.
"You might as well open it and take a look."
Li Daoxuan didn't hesitate to walk up to the long box and opened it.
Then the box opened with a click, and a very sharp breath came from the gap.
Li Daoxuan was slightly stunned, glanced at Yao Nianchun, and his eyes became alert.
Yao Nianchun's face was very calm, and even had a slightly smug look on it. Seeing Li Daoxuan paused in opening the box and looked at him, Yao Nianchun immediately understood what Li Daoxuan meant, but didn't say anything. He just smiled and nodded, and signaled Li Daoxuan to open the box again with his eyes.
Li Daoxuan was no longer suspicious, but quietly took a step back with his left foot so that he could change his center of gravity at any time.
When Li Daoxuan pushed the whole box open, his eyes were instantly attracted by the things placed inside.
"This is."
There was an object lying in the box, which was a long sword.
The long sword and its scabbard are placed side by side. The seal of the Big Dipper is engraved on the sword, and the sword body is sharp.
Looking down at the sword, it is like climbing a mountain and looking into the abyss, ethereal and deep, as if there is a giant dragon lying there.
Faintly, seven stars twinkled, as if the body was being tempered by the stars. It was truly mysterious.
"The name of this sword is Seven Star Dragon Abyss. I believe Brother Daoxuan has also heard of the name of this sword." Yao Nianchun said with a smile.
"It is said that this sword was forged by Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang, and has been passed down for thousands of years without dying. I got it by accident and have kept it in my vault. If Brother Daoxuan can help me, this Longyuan Sword will be given to you."
Li Daoxuan did not respond to Yao Nianchun's words. He slowly stretched out his hand and gently stroked the Longyuan sword. He felt that the entire sword was icy cold, like a glacier.
The chill from the fingertips made people realize that this sword was extraordinary.
Li Daoxuan had heard many rumors about the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, but he did not expect to see it here with Yao Nianchun today. It was really a surprise.
When he heard that Yao Nianchun wanted to give him the sword, he admitted that he was moved.
Who in the world would not be happy about a sword, let alone a famous sword that has been passed down for thousands of years?
The aura contained in it is extraordinary, and even when used in a fight with others it is an excellent magic weapon. If I had this sword, it wouldn't have been so difficult when I fought that Japanese wizard last time.
Li Daoxuan was a little hesitant about such a valuable item.
If I lied for Yao Nianchun and something happened in the future, Mrs. Yao would probably not let me go.
But if he lost the Longyuan Sword, he would be reluctant to let it go.
"How is it, Brother Daoxuan?" Yao Nianchun asked again. This time he no longer called Li Daoxuan "Master Daoxuan", but "Brother Daoxuan".
"Let me think about it." Li Daoxuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
He thought for a moment, then looked at Yao Nianchun and said, "I can help you, but not too much. I can only say that you are not suitable for marriage for the time being, and I can't say that your marriage is overseas. If you are willing, I will help you."
"Okay! Deal." Yao Nianchun agreed readily, which surprised Li Daoxuan. He thought this man would bargain for the price, but he didn't expect Yao Nianchun to agree so quickly.
"When I said those words just now, I didn't think that Brother Daoxuan would agree to it. I even thought that you were unlikely to help me. I didn't expect that Brother Daoxuan was moved by my sincerity and was willing to help me cover up the lie." Yao Nianchun said with a smile. Li Daoxuan then realized that he had been tricked by the other party, but he didn't have any regrets in his heart. These words were not too much.
"This sword is for Brother Daoxuan." Yao Nianchun pushed the sword in front of Li Daoxuan and pointed at the box. "I have a scabbard here that can hold this sword."
Li Daoxuan picked up the Longyuan Sword and looked at it in front of him.
This sword is truly a fine item. The blade shines brightly and makes a crisp sound when one snaps one's fingers. It seems as if there is a dragon hovering above it, making it impossible for sword lovers to take their eyes away.
After sheathing the sword, the cold light disappeared immediately. Li Daoxuan held the sword and thanked Yao Nianchun, "Thank you for the sword, young master." "You're welcome." Yao Nianchun smiled and said, "A good horse deserves a good saddle, a sword is given to a hero, and a sword is sharp, but it also needs a good man. In my opinion, this sword is perfect for Brother Daoxuan. Brother Daoxuan and I are very happy to meet each other, and I am willing to regard him as a confidant."
As they spoke, the two smiled at each other.
Li Daoxuan walked out of the house with the sword in his hand, looking at the sky which was already darkening. He felt that he had gained something from what he had encountered today.
She followed the maids to her residence and put Gong Youwei down. Before she could transform, there was a knock on the door.
"Master Li, have you taken a rest?"
It was Qian Bo's voice, and Li Daoxuan looked solemn.
"No rest," he answered, and went forward to open the door.
Qian Bo was standing at the door with a lantern, looking at him kindly. When he saw him come out, he handed him something: "This is what my wife asked me to bring to the Taoist priest. I hope you like it."
Li Daoxuan took the thing and found it was a feather fan, finely crafted and inlaid with gems.
"Is this what Aunt Yao meant?" he asked, looking at Qian Bo.
"Yes, Madam said that it's hot these days, so let the Taoist priest use this to cool down. If you like it, you can keep it." Qian Bo said, bowed to Li Daoxuan, then picked up the lantern and slowly walked away. "The things have been delivered, Taoist priest should rest early. I'll trouble you to take care of the affairs in the courtyard."
After Qian Bo left, Li Daoxuan took the fan, looked at it, and put it away. But just as he was about to go back into the house, two more people came over. They were maids with lamps.
Li Daoxuan looked at their heads and found that they both had minor illnesses recently.
Feeling at ease, he stopped the two maids and asked, "Can I ask the two sisters something?"
"Of course." The maids said with a smile.
"The young Taoist priest was asked by Madam to take care of you. If you have any questions, just ask us. We will tell you everything we know."
"That's good." Li Daoxuan responded with a smile, "Do you two sisters know if there is a manager named Qian in the mansion?"
"His surname is Qian? Of course there is. The gatekeeper, Mr. Qian, has the surname Qian." The maids thought for a while and answered quickly.
"Hey, there really is someone with the surname Qian." Li Daoxuan muttered.
Then he asked the maids, "Is your eldest master in the mansion?"
"The eldest young master has been at home all the time." The maids answered immediately, puzzled by Li Daoxuan's question, "The young Taoist priest came home because the eldest young master sent someone to tell him to come home. Otherwise, our wife would not dare to come back to live at this time."
"Why does your eldest master want to live in the mansion?" Li Daoxuan asked again.
"The eldest young master is kind-hearted and said he would pray for his wife at home. He said he is not afraid of ghosts or being haunted by ghosts, so he decided to stay and look after the house."
"So that's how it is." After hearing the maids' answers, Li Daoxuan nodded thoughtfully. He had previously thought that if Yao Nianchun was not a problem, then leaving her alone in this mansion would be a problem.
But now it seems that the maids' answers made him understand why Yao Nianchun insisted on staying in this house.
After asking the maids questions, he let them leave.
When I returned to the house, I saw that Gong Youwei had transformed into a human.
"Oh! But I'm suffocating to death." Gong Youwei cried out. She drank the tea on the table and complained to Jiang Wen, "I'm almost suffocating to death today. If I didn't have some strength left, you might be looking at a dead rabbit now."
"I'm sorry for putting you in such a difficult position." Li Daoxuan rubbed her head. "Is there any difference between the Yao family and this one?"
"I didn't feel any difference, but I thought that Uncle Qian was weird. And the atmosphere here is very strange, making me feel dizzy." Gong Youwei said while rubbing her head.
"Are you saying that the Yao family compound is weird?" Li Daoxuan suddenly realized.
He kept his attention on Qian Bo and Yao Nianchun, and ignored the entire Yao residence.
"I was careless and was misled by Qian Bo's words." Li Daoxuan patted his forehead and decided to take a good look at the feng shui of the Yao residence tomorrow.
After thinking about it, he chatted with Gong Youwei for a while, then went to Madam Yao's door with the Longyuan Sword hanging on his head.
