This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong but draws too much

Chapter 399 Incomplete Manuscript
"Really similar."

Lu Hanjiang picked up the jade statue and looked at it. Rather than saying it was a statue, it was better to say that it was carved out of the prototype of Shangluo. On the basis of the "image", the concept of growth seemed to be extended.

Yu Xiang's girl looks more mature than Shang Luo, maybe that girl will look like this after another four or five years. No, it's a bit misleading.

"Master Lu, why do you think there is this jade statue in Master Gu's room?" Alan's question interrupted Lu Hanjiang's thoughts just right.

"I also want to know, but Master Gu is dead, and his disciple Anan is also missing. It may be difficult to find out the reason."

After speaking, Lu Hanjiang shook his head, put down the jade statue and asked, "Miss Alan, what else did you find in that room?"

"Other things are also normal, but there is one thing that makes me feel very strange," Alan said after pondering for a while, "Master Gu has passed away for so long, but his sword furnace still hasn't been extinguished. When I went in that day, The stove is still glowing."

"Is there any such thing?"

Hearing this, Lu Hanjiang was also very surprised. Now that Zhujian Villa is in such a state of embarrassment, there is still money to maintain a sword furnace that is not needed all the year round. It really doesn't make sense.

"Well, because of Xingxuan Dao, Master Gu's residence is now listed as a forbidden area, and disciples of Zhujian Villa are not allowed to enter, so outsiders don't know about it."

What A Lan said is that outsiders don't know about it, but the people in Zhujian Villa may not know it. There is no firewood that can burn for a whole year without sleep, so this sword furnace must be artificially restarted and maintained.

Lu Hanjiang's interest was aroused, he raised his head, just in time to meet A Lan's eyes that were also shining, and they both smiled knowingly.

"Have you chosen the route?" Lu Hanjiang got up and put on a heavy coat.

Ah Lan patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, no one will find out."

The two looked at each other and nodded, and left as soon as they said, Alan slid out of the window sill the same way, Lu Hanjiang's mouth twitched slightly when he saw this, and he subconsciously followed the footsteps and slowly retreated, he still chose to go through the door.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them avoided the disciples who were watching the night, and arrived at Gu Ming's residence. This also shows Gu Ming's status in Zhujian Villa during his lifetime.

There are only two entrances and exits in the courtyard, and they are guarded by two disciples of the Forging Sword Villa. Compared with the importance of the entire courtyard, the actual guarding force seems very sloppy.

Alan and Lu Hanjiang easily climbed over the wall and slipped into the courtyard without anyone noticing.

Lu Hanjiang looked around and said softly, "It's almost like it was on purpose."

"Mr. Lu?" Ah Lan stopped and looked at Lu Hanjiang behind him strangely.

In the quiet courtyard, the two stayed in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by silence, overgrown with weeds, not even a sound of insects, eerie, like a ghost land.

"It's okay, let's go."

Lu Hanjiang just looked at it for a while, then nodded to A Lan, and the two continued to move forward. The room where Jianlu was located was not locked, and the door opened as soon as it was pushed.

The two walked into it, and the bright flames shone on their faces. The huge sword furnace was like a big sun fireball. The hot and dry atmosphere inside the house and the cool and dead silence outside were like two worlds.

Take two steps forward, walk up to the platform in front of the sword stove, look down, see the hot flow inside the stove, and there are some remains of weapons, standing in it like tombstones, and at the same time, there is a pungent and unpleasant smell.

Lu Hanjiang frowned, and immediately rolled up his robe to cover his mouth and nose: "What is this smell?"

Lu Hanjiang had never been to such a place. He had only read about the craftsman's furnace for making weapons, and this was the first time for the real thing.

Ah Lan was used to seeing it, she just frowned, and said: "I have seen others make swords before, but it really doesn't have such an unpleasant smell."

".never mind."

Lu Hanjiang only thought that he was ignorant, and there was nothing to see in the sword furnace, so he turned around and searched for other things that might be useful in the house.

Alan also didn't have the idea of ​​taking a sauna in front of the stove. He stayed away from the platform in front of the sword stove, and looking back from a distance, the whole sword stove was like a huge pot, and the shape made of copper and iron revealed a strange dark golden color.

Feeling really puzzled, Ah Lan went back and forth, but this time on the platform in front of the stove, she found some different traces. Under her feet, a dull red color fell here concealedly.

Alan leaned down and wiped it lightly with her fingertips, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it carefully, her heart skipped a beat.

is blood.

Alan kept calm, retreated calmly, then went to look for Lu Hanjiang, and saw that he was flipping through some manuscripts left by Gu Ming on the table.

These things have never been sent by the Jianjian Villa to clean up, but it is also possible that they have looked through them a long time ago, but they really have nothing to gain, so they are left here to let them moldy.

Lu Hanjiang searched repeatedly, most of which were full of nonsense and self-indulgence. He didn't expect that this master Gu Ming not only had an unusual skill in sword casting, but also had a very weird personality.

In these remaining manuscripts, there is very little content about swordsmithing, and most of them are the old man's self-promotion, such as claiming to be the number one swordsmith in ancient and modern times, or disdain for the three great soldiers, calling it a shameless work.

It's no wonder that the people in Jianjian Villa are not interested in these things. This is just a bunch of complaints and nonsense, which is worthless at all.

However, it’s not all fruitless. In this large-scale nonsense, except for half of the self-praise, the remaining half is full of dung. From top to bottom, Zhujian Villa has almost been severely belittled by Gu Ming. a meal.

Calling Master Yi a hypocrite, mocking other people as housekeeper dogs, but if you want to say that the most scolded here, it has to be the Huo family.

Gu Ming began to scold Huo Tianya's father, the old owner of Huo, and scolded him for more than a dozen pages, scolding him for being self-willed, arrogant and ignorant, scolding him for being reckless, and scolding him for being a prodigal son, a treasure inherited from the family. He gave it away.

Hey, seeing this makes Lu Hanjiang happy, the prodigal feelings are still inherited from the ancestors.

It's a pity, after all, Lu Hanjiang wanted to read the follow-up with great interest, but a few pages were missing in the middle. It was probably done by some guy from the Huo family who can't afford to lose. They are already dead, so it's not enough to scold you on paper. Ah, tsk, what a narrow-minded person.

While thinking about it, Ah Lan was about to come over and say something to him. Just as he was about to speak, there was a movement outside the courtyard.

Soon, someone pushed open the door, and Lu Hanjiang took a closer look, and found that the person who came was Fan Sheng, a master invited by Huo Tianya.

I saw that this old man didn't even bring a knife when he came here today. It seems that he was worried that his nine-ring knife would make too much noise and easily disturb the disciples guarding outside. If he thought so, Fan Sheng must have come over the wall too.

However, the reason for this guy's visit seemed to be different from the two of them. After Fan Sheng came, he closed the door, found a chair and sat down, apparently waiting for someone.

Not long after, footsteps came again from outside the courtyard, and when the door opened again, the person standing outside this time was Huo Tianya.
