Wanbao Lady

"A sword?"

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Du Zhongjing agreed after hearing that he only needed to get a sword and nothing else.

The next night.

The purple-clothed woman took Du Zhongjing on a boat to the lower reaches of the Mo River.

The Mo River originates from Xishan, and its upper reaches pass through a forest, while its middle reaches pass through a sparsely populated hills.

There are only a few sparsely populated villages there.

The lower reaches pass through Meng County and then directly into the sea.

Therefore, Mohe River can be regarded as a scenic spot in Meng County.

During the day, the river is quite lively with people coming and going.

But now it is night.

It cannot be said that the river is deserted, it can only be said to be extremely quiet.

Except for the rowing sound of their boat.

"Why are we here so late?"

Du Zhongjing couldn't help but ask soul-searching questions.

The purple-clothed woman said excitedly, "Of course I'm here to get the sword!"

Take the sword?

On the river?

Du Zhongjing’s head was full of questions.

He silently looked at the masked stranger rowing in front of him, and chose to keep quiet and wait.

Finally, the boat stopped.

It stopped ten meters away from the Cambridge.

"arrive."

Said the strange man rowing the boat.

Du Zhongjing could clearly feel the nervousness and anticipation of the woman in purple.

The woman looked at him straight, curled her red lips and said, "It's your turn."

Du Zhongjing frowned.

"Excuse me, young lady, what does this mean?"

The purple-dressed woman pointed at Cambridge.

"See that sword?"

Du Zhongjing looked in the direction of her finger.

Unfortunately, it was too dark and it was pitch black under the bridge, so he couldn't see anything.

But that didn't stop him from knowing there was a sword there.

It hangs just below the bridge.

As Meng County was his hometown, he was naturally familiar with it.

The bridge is named after the sword hanging under the bridge.

No one knows the origin of the sword. We only know that it has been hanging there about five hundred years ago, and no one knows who hung it there.

Until today.

Some people with bad intentions tried to take down the sword, but they heard that the sword looked unremarkable but was extremely heavy.

Even a few brave men together cannot take it down.

The strange thing is that even though such a heavy sword was hanging under the bridge, the bridge was not affected at all.

It has remained strong for five hundred years.

Over time, people stopped caring about it and the matter was left unresolved.

But this incident also became a curiosity.

Even some martial arts masters who heard about this incident refused to believe it and came to give it a try.

The result can be imagined.

How arrogant you are when you come, how embarrassed you will be when you leave.

Now it seems that this girl wants to get the sword herself!

Du Zhongjing shook his head.

"Miss, you don't know that even those martial arts masters can't take down that sword, let alone an old man like me."

He thought the girl was just joking, but he didn't expect her to be serious about it.

"If I say you can take it off, you can take it off."

Looking at the determined eyes of the woman in purple, Du Zhongjing doubted for a moment whether he really had that ability.

But, how is it possible!

The sword had been hanging there for five hundred years. How could it be taken down by itself?

The woman in purple saw Du Zhongjing's suspicious look and knew that he didn't believe it.

So he slapped Du Zhongjing and sent him flying.

Even at his age, the well-mannered Du Zhongjing wanted to swear at this time.

I just said that I couldn't do it, there's no need for you to kill me to silence me!

Looking at the surging river below, Du Zhongjing closed his eyes in fear.

But the feeling of falling into the water never came.

He opened his eyes and found himself flying in the air!

His mouth was so shocked that an egg could fit in it.

"This this......"

He saw a purple-red light lifting him up, and it was this light that prevented him from falling into the water.

The person who cast this ray of light was none other than the woman in purple!

"Girl...this..."

He knew that he had met a master.

Before he could say anything more, the purple-clothed woman said hurriedly, "Time is urgent, go get the sword!"

The purple-clothed woman moved her hand, and the purple-red light carried Du Zhongjing forward until it was right under the sword.

To be honest, this was the first time that Du Zhongjing had seen this sword at such a close distance since he was a child.

It was about three feet long, with a hook on the hilt and the blade covered in rust.

An iron nail was driven under the bridge, and the nail was bent. The hook at the top of the sword was just hanging on the bent nail.

Looks old and weathered.

"Don't dilly-dally, hurry up!"

The purple-clad woman urged.

Du Zhongjing didn't dare to look any closer. He stretched out his hands and held the hilt of the sword with both hands.

Huh? It's so light?

As soon as he got the hilt of the sword he realized something was wrong.

This sword is just the weight of an ordinary sword, it’s different from what’s rumored!

I can actually lift this sword!

"hurry up!"

Before Du Zhongjing could finish being surprised, the woman in purple urged him again.

Du Zhongjing had no choice but to speed up his actions.

He lifted the sword up by the hilt and easily took it off the iron nail.

Before he could get excited, a long box floated silently to his side.

No one knew what the box was made of, it was completely black.

The lid of the box opened automatically, and then the voice of the woman in purple came: "Put the sword in the box and close the lid."

Although he was confused, Du Zhongjing still did as he was told.

After closing the box, the purple-clothed woman retracted her hand, and the purple-red light brought him back to the boat.

"let's go!"

She said hurriedly.

"Yes!"

The masked stranger replied respectfully, then raised the bamboo pole and the boat immediately rowed out at a faster speed than when it came.

It was moving so fast, as if there was a dog chasing it from behind.

This was the first time in Du Zhongjing's life that he felt the sensation of boat racing.

I couldn't help but hold the box tightly with one hand and hold the things on the boat tightly with the other hand.

Afraid of being thrown off.

It wasn't long before they left the area.

The masked man pulled the boat directly to the shore, carried Du Zhongjing off the boat and returned home.

Only the ordinary black-sailed boat was left among the crowd of boats, swaying quietly with the waves.

After returning to the clinic, the woman did not take the box, but took out a bottle from her arms and handed it to Du Zhongjing.

Then the master and servant retreated together to ten meters away.

"Open the box and pour the liquid from the bottle onto the sword, and your task will be completed. After that, I will also fulfill my promise and save your son."

The woman in purple said.

Upon hearing this, Du Zhongjing put the box on the ground and opened it.

Now he saw it too.

The master and servant were obviously trying to avoid the sword by behaving like this.

He didn't even dare to get close.

What on earth are they afraid of? This is clearly just an old rusty sword!

But he also had a lot of guesses in his mind.

Therefore, I couldn't help but hesitate for a while.

Seeing Du Zhongjing's hesitation, the purple-clothed woman said coldly, "Think about your son. Don't you want to save him?"

"of course not!"

Du Zhongjing immediately retorted.

"Then hurry up and do what I say!"

Thinking of his poor son lying on the hospital bed with a pale face and atrophied muscles, he finally became ruthless.

It's just a rusty sword!

He uncorked the bottle and slowly poured the liquid onto the sword.
