Chapter 39 This sword is called "Kan Tui"
As night fell, Hu Qing felt a little tired after a busy day and was about to go back to his room to rest.
At this time, Qingyin called him softly. With a mysterious smile on her face, she took Hu Qing to the study.
In the study, several gift boxes were quietly placed on the desk, which were gifts from the county magistrate and the emperor.
Hu Qing's eyes first fell on the black box sent by the county magistrate. He reached out and gently unfastened the lock and opened the black box.
The box was covered with soft red cloth, on which lay two square objects wrapped in silky silk.
There is also a small medicine bottle hidden underneath, with a few words engraved on it: "Golden Spear...", and the remaining words are covered by a red cloth.
Qingyin reached out curiously, wanting to pick up the medicine bottle and take a closer look.
Hu Qing moved even faster. He gently took out the medicine bottle and put it into his pocket calmly, which made Qingyin feel a little confused.
In order to prevent Qingyin from becoming more curious about the medicine bottle, Hu Qing shifted his attention to other gifts.
He handed the two square objects to Qingyin and asked her to open them.
Qingyin carefully untied the silk, revealing the items inside.
The first one was a piece of red jade, which sparkled with a warm light under the light of the lantern. It was crystal clear and obviously of great value. It was still warm in the hand.
The other one is a wooden box, which contains unknown spices, emitting a faint fragrance that is refreshing and pleasant.
Hu Qing carefully examined the two items, but still did not understand the magistrate's intention in giving these gifts.
Qingyin's eyes swept across the gift box, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled out a note from the bottom of the gift box.
Qingyin handed the note to Hu Qing. Hu Qing unfolded the note and saw a few lines of words written on it.
"Red jade is a specialty of the Western Regions. It can emit heat and can keep people warm if carried daily. It is best used by women.
The fragrance is musk, produced by a strange beast in the forest. When it is burned during sexual intercourse, it can act as a contraceptive.
As for the Golden Gun Pill, I think Mr. Gu knows about it, so I won't elaborate on it."
At the end of the note, the magistrate expressed his blessings and expectations for Hu Qing.
After reading it, Hu Qing's face turned pale. He didn't expect the county magistrate to be so unreasonable, but the jade was indeed useful.
He placed the musk and the golden spear pills behind the bookshelf, covered them with books, and handed the silk and red jade to Qingyin, saying:
"Take this silk and red jade and make a brocade bag to put it in. Carry it with you on a daily basis. It will also be good for your health."
"Ah, is this for me? Thank you, sir!"
Qingyin accepted it a little embarrassedly and looked at Hu Qing shyly. She didn't expect Hu Qing to be so nice to her and actually give her the items sent by the magistrate.
Hu Qing's gaze shifted to the brocade boxes sent by the emperor. With curiosity and joy, he opened these exquisite gift boxes one by one.
Each gift in the brocade box was more precious than the other, and each one showed the emperor's generosity and reward to Hu Qing.
The first thing that catches the eye is a finely embroidered brocade bag with delicate stitches and exquisite patterns, which is obviously made by a master.
Hu Qing gently touched the surface of the brocade bag and felt the craftsmanship and aesthetics contained in it.
But he still didn't think of what use it would be. He was just about to put the brocade bag on the brocade box and look at other gifts.
There was a flash of light, and the brocade box disappeared, leaving only the brocade bag there.
Hu Qing instantly became interested. Is this the legendary storage bag? He injected spiritual power into it. After the light shone for a moment, he found that he could already take items out of it. It seemed that it had just recognized its owner.
He put the brocade box in and out, repeatedly operating it and having a lot of fun, causing Qingyin to look at him with a smile on her face.
Then, Hu Qing noticed a black longsword. This sword was well-made, with a cold gleam on the blade and a sharp aura.
Hu Qing tapped the sword with his fingers, and the sword made a crisp sound, like a dragon's roar.
He slowly drew the sword out of the scabbard, and the sword light was like water, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
Hu Qing casually performed a sword flower, and the long sword hummed in the air, showing its power and beauty.
Qingyin, who was standing aside, watched Hu Qing dancing with the sword, with admiration flashing in her eyes, as if even the air was filled with little hearts.
Hu Qing inserted the long sword into the scabbard, wore it at his waist, looked at it from left to right, and liked it more and more the more he looked at it.
He decided to give the sword a name and asked Qingyin for advice.
Qingyin thought about it and suggested several names, but Hu Qing felt that none of them were appropriate enough.
Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he said, "Why not call this sword 'Kan Tui'?"
"Kan Tui" means the transformation in the scabbard, symbolizing that the sword is like a phoenix reborn from the ashes, with extraordinary power and significance, and can achieve miraculous effects in duels.
Hu Qing hung the long sword named "Kan Tui" securely around his waist, then turned to the next brocade box with a hint of expectation.
The wooden texture of the brocade box revealed the accumulation of time. He gently opened the lid of the box and found an old book inside. The edges of the pages had turned yellow, showing that it had been read countless times.
Hu Qing carefully took out the old book and saw three big characters "Shadow Sword Technique" written in vigorous strokes on the cover.
He was delighted, as this was a top-grade Xuan-level sword-fighting secret book.
For him at this moment, it was simply: he wanted milk, his mother was here; he missed his mother's family, his uncle was here.
He flipped through the pages quickly. Every page recorded exquisite sword moves, which made him itchy and he wanted to practice them right here.
Hu Qing knew that this "Shadow Sword Art" was undoubtedly a valuable treasure for him.
He decided to start practicing this sword technique after opening the last brocade box to improve his martial arts.
Qingyin quietly observed Hu Qing from the side. Her eyes wandered in the brocade box, and finally she found a line of small words at the bottom of the box: "Sent by the captain of the guards."
When Hu Qing saw these words, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, thinking that the captain of the guards was really a thoughtful person. He was even afraid that Hu Qing would feel that he didn't receive the gift.
But it is true that if there was no such line of words, both he and Qingyin would think that these were gifts from the emperor.
Hu Qing opened the last brocade box, inside which were three pieces of fine silk neatly stacked.
The silk was smooth and delicate, with a soft luster, clearly an extremely precious material. Hu Qing gently stroked the silk, already having a plan in mind.
He decided to use the silk to make a set of clothes for himself and Qingyin to wear on important occasions.
Such clothes not only highlight their status, but also cherish important moments.
When Qingyin heard Hu Qing's plan, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She knew that Hu Qing was always so considerate and attentive, giving her meticulous care both in details and in life.
