Chapter 294 Snowland Exploration 10, Storyteller

There are quite a few swords placed on the entire third floor. Just looking at these swords, Song Ying feels they are very powerful.

Turning to the back of the central platform, Song Ying discovered that there was a shorter platform with a scabbard on it, and its length seemed to be the same as the sword on the platform.

The scabbard has no pattern and looks very ordinary. It feels like it is made of some kind of leather. I'm not sure what material the inside is made of. It's still a bit heavy to hold.

"You really don't know who I am? Why don't I remember anything?"

The man kept asking questions beside Song Ying, but Song Ying couldn't answer any of the questions and thought it was very noisy.

"Shut up and go back to your sword. I'll tell you when I find out."

Song Ying, who was annoyed to death by the noise, now just wanted this person to shut up. Although she wanted to beat him up, she couldn't even touch him in that state.

As if he was a little scared by Song Ying's scolding, he murmured softly, and Song Ying naturally heard every word.

"This man is so fierce, so fierce, wuwuwu, who am I? I'm scared."'

This kind of whispering was louder than the previous talking. The sound of flies flying around turned into the sound of mosquitoes flying around.

Song Ying was already very annoyed because she couldn't find the relevant things, and now this person was doing this again, she became even more annoyed.

"You really need to shut up. It's too noisy and it affects my thinking."

Song Ying finally spoke to the other party patiently. After all, yelling at him would have no effect.

After talking about how it affects thinking, the other person gradually calmed down.

Song Ying calmed down and began to study the scabbard in front of him. In an inconspicuous corner, there were two words "Shang Zhi".

The handwriting is elegant, probably a man's.

There was also a blood-stained tassel next to the scabbard, with a dice inlaid with red beans on the tassel. The color of the tassel was supposed to be the same aqua blue as the man's clothes, but unfortunately the lanyard was broken and was also stained red with blood.

Such a sword tassel might be an item between a man and a woman. Song Ying felt that there were two possibilities: the scabbard and the sword tassel belonged to different owners, or the scabbard and the sword tassel belonged to the same person.

Song Ying took a closer look at the sword tassel, which looked older and had been used for a long time. The end of the lanyard was torn off and looked rough.

There are only two things like this around the platform, and they should be related to the sword named Xi.

"That's it for today. I'll go find out more information for you tomorrow and tell you."

Song Ying really had no idea about these three things and could only ask someone for information after dawn.

Before the other party could react, Song Ying had already rushed to the second floor. It seemed that the spirit could not stay too far away from the sword and did not chase Song Ying downstairs.

After going downstairs, Song Ying took out his cloak and continued to cover his tracks. After leaving the blacksmith shop and walking on the street, Song Ying was extremely careful. He didn't know what was going on here and there were a lot of patrols at night.

After returning to the inn safely, Song Ying didn't care about anything else and went straight to sleep. Any problems would be dealt with after he woke up.

The next day, Song Ying still got up according to her biological clock. She changed into clothes that were more convenient for movement and went downstairs. After having breakfast in the inn, she went to the teahouse where she had been yesterday.

Song Ying discovered this teahouse yesterday. Many of the people there were not locals. They were probably businessmen from other places. A lot of different information could be heard here, and some businessmen even exchanged information here.

Song Ying asked for a window seat in a private room on the second floor. From this position, one could see the blacksmith shop and hear the sounds of the entire teahouse, making it a very suitable location for collecting information.

After the waiter led the guests to their seats, he began to read out the teahouse's menu. Song Ying ordered some snacks and a pot of the most expensive tea, and gave the waiter some extra money.

"Waiter, is that blacksmith shop the largest in town? Does it have any famous weapons?"

Song Ying casually asked the waiter. After all, they were so close, and the teahouse would definitely know any news.

"Yes, that is the largest blacksmith shop in Zhurong Town. The third floor of their shop is filled with top-quality weapons. You can go and take a look."

"I heard there's a long sword on the third floor?"

Song Ying deliberately did not finish what she was saying, but only said half of it and wanted the waiter to continue.

"Ah, sir, you are talking about the sword named Xi, right? That sword is not sold in everyone's blacksmith shop, and it is very dangerous. Two owners have died. Recently, a young lady from a noble family named Zhao Ying came to the town and threatened to take the sword away."

After hearing this, Song Ying became excited and stuffed more money into the waiter's pocket.

"Can you tell me the story of this sword?"

"That's easy to tell. The storytellers in our teahouse can tell it. You can ask for one."

The waiter looked as if he had made some sales. Song Ying knew that this still required her to pay, so she was naturally generous and directly gave the money to the other party and asked him to order a play.

Although the content told by these storytellers is largely exaggerated due to adaptation, there is still a lot of real content that is worth listening to.

Not long after the waiter left, Song Ying heard the storyteller slamming the table, which was to remind the listeners that he was about to start talking.

He first thanked the guest who asked him to tell the story before getting to the point.

Ten years ago, two brothers with different surnames went to the mountains to collect materials to make weapons. After collecting in the mountains for a day, they were tired and hungry and found a deep pit. At the bottom of the pit, there was a special material, which was discovered by the two brothers.

Such stones are at the bottom of the pit, and that pit is very dangerous. The brother with a more impatient temper is called Xu Shuibo, and the one with a more calm and introverted temperament is called Zeng Xi.

When Xu Shuibo sees special materials, he must get them. Zeng Xi meant that they should rest here for one night and go down to collect them the next day. Unfortunately, Xu Shuibo did not listen to his friend's advice and insisted on going down.

Zeng Xi couldn't bear to see his good brother taking risks alone, so he followed him down. What they didn't expect was that they would be attacked by birds of prey on the way to the bottom of the pit.

Xu Shuibo was exhausted many times along the way and was rescued by Zeng Xi. Just when they thought they had escaped from the bird of prey, Zeng Xi's rope was broken by the bird of prey. Xu Shuibo didn't even have a chance to rescue him, and Zeng Xi fell directly onto the quarry below.

"Zeng Xi..."

At this time, Xu Shuibo had no strength left and didn't care about the bird of prey above. He slid down the rope directly. After he landed safely, he went to check on Zeng Xi's condition first.

After falling from a high altitude and hitting the back of his head on the stone mine they had originally wanted to collect, the stone mine was now stained red with Zeng Xi's blood.

Zeng Xi died immediately after landing and did not feel any pain. However, Xu Shuibo blamed himself. If he had not been so hot-blooded and insisted on coming down, he would not have died so tragically.

Xu Shuibo collected the stone ore in the cave, tied Zeng Xi to his body and began to climb up.

He climbed up with his friend's body in one breath. He was harassed by birds of prey along the way. After reaching the mouth of the pit, Xu Shuibo did not stop immediately, but continued to walk towards the town at the foot of the mountain.

He brought his friend's body back home in this state. There was no one at home, so he took care of his friend's funeral and won praise from the whole town.
