Is Chapter 20 still going on?

Cinnabar pen?
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Xiang Yi searched carefully in his mind, and then looked at Li Cheng blankly.

It was rare to see the other party look silly and cute, so Li Cheng didn't show off and explained bluntly:
"Xiao Yi, you should know that there are holy weapons and non-holy weapons in this world, right?"

"Yes." Xiang Yi nodded lightly and subconsciously glanced at the silver sword at his hand.

Noticing the change in the other person's gaze, Li Cheng chuckled softly:

“Between the sacred vessels and non-holy vessels, there are actually some so-called semi-holy vessels.

Their materials and manufacturing techniques may be the same as those of sacred vessels, but they lack the most important charm of the Yakuza.

Therefore, semi-sacred weapons may have some similarities to sacred weapons, but the two are still as different as clouds and mud. "

At this point, he paused and pointed to the lady's sword beside him:

"Of course, compared with ordinary iron, semi-sacred weapons are undoubtedly equivalent to rare treasures.

This sword like yours, Xiaoyi, is a semi-holy weapon rarely seen in the world. "

Xiang Yi thought for a moment after hearing the words, and somewhat understood the meaning of the other party's words.

She carefully looked at the half-broken wooden pen in front of her and asked with some uncertainty:
"So, this cinnabar pen is also a semi-sacred artifact?"

"That's right," Li Cheng nodded and said confidently:
“To be precise, the cinnabar pen is a one-time semi-sacred instrument.

And only people from the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism will use it, and it is of little use to others. "

Xiang Yi was as curious as a baby and continued to ask:
"Then what can it be used for?"

"Hmm..." Li Cheng briefly recalled what was recorded in the classics, and then replied with a smile:

“It can be used to ward off evil spirits, avoid evil spirits, ward off misfortune, consecrate light, pray for luck, etc…

But it needs poetry or spells as a carrier, and the probability of success is not very high. "

Playing with the vermilion pen barrel, which was shorter than chopsticks, Li Cheng sighed with regret:

"If this cinnabar pen is intact, it can still be worth 8 to [-] taels of silver.

But based on its current condition, it can be sold for 5000 taels of silver at a guaranteed price. "

When Xiang Yi heard that silver was 5000 taels, he suddenly felt his heart pounding.

She did some calculations and found that there were a total of 500 million copper coins.

If we had this huge sum of money, I don't know how many kind people could be saved from suffering.

But she suppressed her excitement, and after observing Li Cheng's expression, she asked tentatively:
"You... like this pen?"

"I like it," Li Cheng smiled and admitted without hesitation:

"If nothing else, these are 500 million walking people. Who wouldn't like it if they saw it?"

Seeing Xiang Yi's slightly nervous look, he couldn't help but chuckled:

"Don't worry, husband, I am a standard gentleman.

I still understand why this cinnabar pen is stolen goods. "

"That," seeing that the other party misinterpreted her meaning, Xiang Yi hesitated and whispered:

"Li Xiaobu, if you like this pen, just keep it."

"What?" Li Cheng was startled when he heard this, and couldn't react for a while.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Xiang Yi immediately turned his head away secretly and said coldly with some anger:

"Don't forget it."

"Yes! Why not."

Hearing this, he quickly put the cinnabar pen into his arms, feeling that his wife was a bit too cute.

Looking at the fair and flawless profile in front of me,
At this moment, Li Cheng suddenly had a bold idea.

He quietly leaned forward and could smell the faint scent of osmanthus on the tip of his nose.

But at this moment, the girl turned back subconsciously.

For a moment, both of them were stunned.

At this moment, the world seemed to have become quiet.

It was so quiet that you could only hear each other's breathing and the rapid heartbeat.

silence for a few breaths,

The girl's cheeks became visibly red.

As if drunk.

"Why...are you so close?" Xiang Yi dodges his eyes, but exhales and says Ruolan.

Hearing this, Li Cheng seemed to hear the clarion call to charge.

He asked back with vague expectation:

"I want to taste the rouge on your lips, is that okay?"

rouge?

However, I have never used rouge.

Xiang Yi was a little confused. When he raised his eyes and touched Li Cheng's fiery eyes, he suddenly understood something.

She should have refused without hesitation.

But somehow, she slowly uttered two words:
"can."

Just before the girl finished speaking.

A figure wearing a bamboo hat suddenly appeared in the mountains below:

"Miss, Mr. Zhishi said that you were almost attacked by a sneak attack. You were not injured anywhere, right?"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

When Li Cheng heard Uncle Tai's first word, he had a premonition of something bad.

Sure enough, the moment he heard this, Xiang Yi shrank back completely subconsciously.

The charming and ambiguous atmosphere between the two disappeared in an instant.

When Uncle Tai took three steps and two steps at a time, and came to the two people who were next to each other, he also noticed that something was not right.

"That," Uncle Tai scratched the back of his head while standing on the cliff and said with some embarrassment:

"I'm sorry, miss, for disturbing you and the young hero from watching the sunrise."

It’s okay to think about this in your mind.

As soon as she said it, the blush on the girl's cheeks instantly deepened.

Xiang Yi put on the veil again and pretended to be calm and explained:
"Nothing, we just sat down.

Have the women and children in Qingquan Town settled down? "

Hearing the very blunt turn in the other party's words, Li Cheng couldn't help chuckling.

After being glanced at coldly by Xiao Yi, he immediately stopped smiling and looked at Uncle Tai seriously.

Seeing Li Cheng's worried eyes for the people, Uncle Tai's eyes couldn't help but secretly twitch.

He took a deep breath in his heart, and then reported to Xiang Yi in a deep voice:
“There are more than 50 people in that compound, and they have all been temporarily accommodated.

But after asking, most of them could not find their families, or they were sold by their families. In this case..."

After listening, Xiang Yi thought for a moment and made a decision in his heart:
“Those who are willing to go home will be sent back, and the children will be sent to reliable almshouses.

As for those who can still support themselves, give them money and let them choose where to go. "

Hearing this, Li Cheng's eyes flashed with approval.

Although the old saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish.

But in Li Cheng's view, being able to rescue them from the devil's cave was already the most benevolent and righteous act.

Xiang Yi's arrangement was just right.

If you have to worry about this arrangement for the other party, and consider everything carefully, it will be easy to become a big enemy.

After hearing this, Uncle Tai nodded and said to the two of them:
"Since I see that the eldest lady is in good health, I will go to the foot of the mountain and wait for you."

After that, he jumped from the cliff and jumped into the thin mountain mist.

And when he glanced back, the look in his eyes that said, "This uncle is someone who has been here before" made Xiang Yi's pretty face freeze.

Before she could recover, she heard Li Cheng beside her say quietly:

"Now, there are only two of us left here."

"Oh." She hummed subconsciously, not knowing what the other person meant by this.

"So," Li Cheng looked at the girl's cold face and asked softly:

"Shall we continue?"

Xiang Yi:……
