Chapter 1406 Gift from the Elderly

Although the old Sect Master Gu's voice was very low, he was still swept away by the old man's eyes, telling him to speak less.

Shen Lie hurriedly stepped forward, speaking in a clear voice: "Hi, senior, I haven't seen you for many years." Then he looked at Old Sovereign Gu, "You are Old Sovereign Gu, I have met you."

Old Sect Master Gu stood up happily: "It has been said that nephew Shen Xian is handsome and handsome. When I saw him today, he really is a peerless beauty. If he appeared in white clothes in my star gazing sect, he would definitely be mistaken by the disciples who watch the stars at night." It’s a fairy from the sky who came to this world!”

Shen Lie smiled lightly: "...Thank you, Old Sect Master Gu, for your compliment."

The old man stood beside him holding the tea expressionlessly, thinking why he agreed to let Gu Xinghai come to Hejing with him.

"No, no," Old Sovereign Gu pointed at the old man, "Speaking of compliments, he usually praises you a lot."

"Cough!!" The old man choked on tea for the first time in his life, and the tea almost didn't come out of his nostrils. He recovered and adjusted as soon as possible, endured the itching in his throat, and said lightly, "Don't listen to his nonsense, I rarely When it comes to other people, in front of him, I rarely even mention it to my disciples."

Old Sovereign Master Gu frowned, and looked at him displeased, why are you still making things up.

The old man raised his eyes and looked at him coldly. It's fine if he plays too much himself, so how can he add more drama to others?

Old Sect Master Gu sneered, if I don't speak, can you talk to each other with a piece of wood and a stone?

The old man withdrew his gaze 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 was busy recently, but senior came first. I don't know why senior came to me?"

The old man got up and said: "Young Master Shen is serious, you are busy because of my apprentice, if you are not by my side, it may take a year and a half to untie the knot in my apprentice's heart about Li Gan. My journey is still simple, With a breeze in my sleeves, I can't offer a hand to thank the gift for a while, only this."

The old man held 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, one foot wide and five inches high.The wooden box was not painted, not even an insect-resistant coating, but the surface was simply polished to make it less sticky.

Shen Lie didn't expect that the old man came to give a gift, and the old man had already handed it with both hands, and Shen Lie couldn't help but accept it.

Old Sect Master Gu said: "Nephew, open it and have a look."

Shen Lie lowered his head and opened it, and there was a layer of wide and long wooden boards lying in the wooden box. The wooden board was concave, and there were four objects in total. The four concave shapes were the shapes of these four objects.

From left to right, a porcelain vase with a slightly strange appearance, a delicate and exquisite Sinan, and a... long thick needle?There is another... Shen Lie doesn't know him at all.

Shen Lie looked up at the old man: "Senior, Shen Lie is dull, I don't know the names of these things except Si Nan."

The old man didn't speak, he pondered for a while, then suddenly asked: "Are you still busy today?"

Shen Lie paused, 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, if you want to go out of the city, I'm afraid you won't come back tonight."

"Senior, these things... have something to do with the night?"

The old man shook his head lightly: "It has nothing to do with the night. Since you are pressed for time, then you should clean it up first, and we won't bother you too much. As for these things, my apprentice is familiar with them. When she is not busy, I will let her come over." Let me tell you, she is eloquent, and she must be more detailed than me."

Say it, the old man looked at Old Sovereign Gu: "Let's go."

Old Sect Master Gu got up, and said with a smile to Shen Lie: "Nephew, let's go now, you work hard, young man, you will be promising!"

The old man also made a simple farewell, and the two elders left.

Shen Lie sent them to the door, and when they left, he turned to look at the wooden box on the coffee table.

Wu Shaoning and the others all moved over, they didn't dare to pick it up easily, looked at it for a while, then looked up at Shen Lie who was walking, Wu Shaoning said: "Master, could there be some hidden weapon inside?"

Shen Lie raised his hand to close the lid, and said, "I'll ask Ah Li again when Ah Li comes back."

A hidden guard whispered: "It's strange, why didn't this senior say it himself?"

"Yeah," another hidden guard said softly, "Why does it feel weird?"

Shen Lie didn't know either, but the old man's "strange" behavior made him somewhat uneasy.

On the other side, Old Sovereign Master Gu who came in after the old man also said, "Why were you acting so weird just now?"

The old man didn't say a word, and didn't stop until he was under the eaves of the backyard. He stood with his hands behind his back, and suddenly picked up the broom beside him to sweep the wood corners and sawdust in the backyard.

He made the wooden box and the wooden layer in the middle just given to Shen Lie.

Old Sect Master Gu brought up the dustpan, thought about it, and suddenly said: "Hey, you don't mean to find something to talk about for them, do you?"

The old man said indifferently: "One is leading the army outside, and the other is buried in a mountain of papers inside. If you can add something to them, add it."

"Ouch! I really didn't realize that you are so enlightened!"

"Enlightened?" The old man frowned 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 bowed his head and continued to scan.

After sweeping the ground, the old man seemed restless, took a hoe and went to the vegetable garden to loosen the soil.

Old Sovereign Gu was not idle either, he asked the buddy to bring some straw ropes, he sat in the backyard and began to weave all kinds of flowers, birds, insects and fish, and soon, one by one came alive in his hands.

The man asked curiously if these were made for sale, and the old master Gu happily said that he would give them to the children in the neighborhood.

Quan Jiuwei has been in the cellar with his ears pricked up, listening to the movement outside.

These people seem to think that he doesn't exist at all, want to say what they want to say, and ignore him at all.

This feeling really scared Quan Jiuwei.

As the sun was setting, the old man took care of Yang Guanxian's injuries, and received a message from Xia Zhaoyi, saying that she would not be coming back today, and that she might be sleeping in Shuangyan Tower on Yujie.

After delivering toys to the children nearby, Old Sovereign Gu specially went to the Dengqian Teahouse for a stroll, and heard that Shen Lie was not coming back either.

Old Sect Master Gu asked a lot, and it turned out that it was those people who carried the coffin to the funeral palace. Because the funeral palace had run out of food, many people came out.

Old Sect Master Gu shook his head and came back, went into the room and murmured to himself with a smile: "Young people are busy, and it's good to be busy, very good."

As soon as he looked up, he saw the old man coming from the backyard with a wooden stick. Old Sect Master Gu went over: "It's not even here yet, so you're going?"

"Well, go early and come back early."

"Sure, I'll get a knife, you wait."

Old people don't kill people, but Old Sect Master Gu's Wangxing Sect doesn't have this rule, although Old Sect Master Gu has never killed many people in his life.

Jinxing Restaurant has many soldiers of the Xia family army left behind by Xia Zhaoyi, so it is easy for Gu Laozong to use the knife.

Shopkeeper Hu heard the sound, saw them sticking and stabbing, and hurriedly asked them where they were going. Old Sect Master Gu smiled and said, "If little girl A Li sends someone back to ask about it, she will say that we are looking for Quan Jiuwei's adoptive father."
