Chapter 23: Kuang Jian Sword Online!

  On this day, Qin Feng had just finished his self-study class and was idle with nothing to do, so he thought of going to Fang Yu's place to take a look. Since he helped them resolve the Gu poison, they only talked about the situation over the phone and hadn't met in person. But before he could call that side, Fang Yu had already called him first.

  "Hey, Qin Feng, where are you?"

  "In the classroom, just after class." "How's your illness?"

  "It's all right, Qin Feng, you stay in the classroom and don't leave, I'll go find you."

  "What's wrong?"

  "Professor Xie wants to see you and says he wants to thank you. Oh, right, he also wants to give you something."

  "Isn't that some messy tomb?" Qin Feng's heart had already guessed something when he heard Fang Yu say this.

  "On the other end of the phone, Fang Yu's loud exclamation came through: 'Damn it, you guessed it again!'"

  It seems like something from a grave.

  Hanging up the phone, it wasn't long before Fang Yu hurriedly arrived at Qin Feng's classroom. "Where is Professor Xie?" Qin Feng looked at Fang Yu alone and asked curiously.

  Fang Yu's face immediately turned pale and his long bangs seemed to lose their vitality, as if they had aged overnight. "Cough, don't mention it, we originally agreed to meet you, but halfway here, Professor Xie suddenly called and said he was going to see a friend, so he wanted us to go to his house tonight."

  "Go to his home? That's not good, is it?"

  "Don't worry, it's okay, Professor Xie's wife and kids are all working in Beijing, he's the only one at home."

  It wasn't until Fang Yu said that sentence that Qin Feng felt at ease, packing up his books and preparing to head back to the dormitory. Just then, Lin Ruochen called him.

  On the phone, Lin Ruochen asked Qin Feng to come to the newspaper office, saying that he wanted to thank Qin Feng for his illness. Originally, Qin Feng did not want to go, he just wanted to take advantage of the current situation to understand the knowledge of birth, cultivation and practice from his grandfather, but after all, this was a good intention of Xiaochen, so he had no choice but to reluctantly respond.

  Finally, in the afternoon, Qin Feng was ready to go with Fang Yu to find Professor Xie in a small building next to the school. On the way, Fang Yu said that Professor Xie had recently invited a friend from the south to visit the school, and this person was said to be a famous numerologist from Guangxi who came here for an important matter.

  "What's going on? What's going on?" Qin Feng's interest was piqued as soon as he heard words like "Shen Suanzi".

  "I don't know, you'd better ask Professor Xie."

  As they chatted and talked casually, they had already arrived at Professor Xie's doorstep. "Knock knock knock..."

  "Ah, it's Qin Feng, welcome, welcome!" On this side, Professor Xie was very enthusiastic after seeing Qin Feng.

  Upon entering the house, Professor Xie was truly a warm and enthusiastic host, brewing a pot of high-quality Longjing tea and serving a freshly prepared fruit platter. In short, he seemed to be eternally grateful for Qin Feng's lifesaving favor.

  "Qin Feng, I must thank you first for helping us get rid of that Gu poison. I've heard Fang Yu talk about it before - those damned things are best burned to ashes, can't let them continue harming people."

  Qin Feng nodded in agreement and then asked with concern: "Professor Xie, how is your illness?"

  "Alright, your medicine may be hard to swallow, but it really works. I had a reaction just a short while after drinking it, and now I'm continuing to drink it, feeling pretty good."

  After taking a sip of tea, the faint ancient path's fragrance seemed to have merged into the tea water, and it was very refreshing. Qin Feng looked up at the surrounding antique furniture, which looked like a carved floor clock from the Republic of China era, ticking away with a "tick-tock" sound, exuding an air of antiquity.

  Then Professor Xie said, "Qin Feng, this matter is being kept confidential by the school due to reputation concerns, so we hope you won't mention it either."

  "Don't worry, Professor Xie, Qin Feng won't say anything. You're going to give him something, aren't you?" Fang Yu, who was sitting next to Qin Feng, spoke up first, and then Professor Xie suddenly remembered after hearing this sentence, patted the back of his head, and laughed: "Right! I almost forgot. Qin Feng, I have something to give you."

  Without waiting for Qin Feng's reaction, Professor Xie stood up and walked into the inner room, rustling around as if looking for something. Before long, Professor Xie came out of the room carrying a long wooden box with rubber gloves on.

  "This is..." Looking at the wooden box in front of him, Qin Feng hadn't spoken yet, but Fang Yu had already exclaimed in surprise. This was no wonder, as this thing looked so familiar to Fang Yu after he saw it.

  "Thank you, Professor, are you really going to give this thing to him?"

  "Yes, I'm afraid this thing will end up like the paper man. Qin Feng is an expert in this field, so you'd better take it and treasure it."

  Qin Feng still didn't understand and asked: "What is it after all?"

  "It's a sword." Fang Yu put down his teacup and began peeling a banana while explaining.

  "Sword?" "Yes, this sword was discovered by Fang Yu and I during an outdoor survey with the paper man. Since then, I've been worried that there might be some mystery to it. In that case, I'll just give it to you, maybe it will come in handy." Professor Xie explained, sounding like he really wanted to give Qin Feng the sword. This was no surprise, as he had almost lost his life after being poisoned by the golden wasp, and now he didn't dare touch those things again.

  No wonder Professor Xie would bring a rubber glove, it turned out he was afraid of the golden wasp's venom. Damn, this old guy is really calculating, wanting me to try out the situation on top. But I don't need to worry, that Gu insect master probably wouldn't be stupid enough to do something useless either. After thinking for half a day, Qin Feng finally understood Professor Xie's true meaning, but didn't say it out loud, just smiled and casually took over the rectangular wooden box.

  "Wait a minute!" Just then, Fang Yu immediately stopped Qin Feng. "Aren't you afraid there's gu poison on this?"

  "It shouldn't be a problem, and even if it is, as long as you help me administer the antidote, I'll be fine." Qin Feng said this with confidence as he opened the wooden box, responding to Fang Yu.

  Opening the wooden box, Qin Feng's right hand picked up the ancient sword without hesitation. The ancient bronze-colored historical marks had weathered the entire sword, although it was from a distant era, but the sword itself was intact and undamaged, with its color and blade still unscathed. Upon closer inspection, the hilt of the sword had a taiji diagram engraved on both sides, while the bottom of the sword body had two bold characters carved into it, very clearly visible at first glance. "This is..." Looking at these two characters, Qin Feng was both excited and thrilled, shouting out loud: "It's the Kuixing Sword!" Indeed, the bold characters carved onto the bottom of the sword body were indeed "Kuixing".

  "What? You know this sword?" Fang Yu and Professor Xie looked at each other in surprise, both curious about the meaning behind Qin Feng's words.

  Qin Feng thought for a moment, and in front of Professor Xie, it wasn't good to talk about ghosts and gods, lest it cause misunderstandings. So he quickly came up with an excuse: "I heard my grandfather say that the Tian Shi Sect originally had the Kuai Xing Sword, which was the legacy of Zhang Zhenfeng, the 56th generation master of the Tian Shi Sect. Later, due to wars and changes in dynasties, it was lost. I didn't expect to find it here."

  "Haha, it's really 'breaking iron shoes without finding a place', and getting everything without any effort!" Professor Xie also burst out laughing.

  "Fang Yu, where did you find this sword?"

  "It was right on the construction site where the paper man was found, it seemed to be in the middle of that mound. At that time, I still remember when I used a metal detector to detect it, this sword reflected a very strong electromagnetic field."

  When the listener said this, Qin Feng could only blame himself for not digging deeper at that time. However, since he had found the Kuigang Sword here, it meant that he had helped Zhang complete one of his wishes. But then again, Qin Feng thought of what Zhang had said before, and he spent these days pondering over the meaning and mystery of the poem, but still couldn't make sense of it, without any clue.

  Looking at the worn-out sword, Qin Feng seemed to feel a sense of relief. "Ah, Qin Feng, I almost forgot, there's actually another important matter that I wanted to ask you about. Do you know about the strange things that have been happening in school lately?"

  "What's going on? Professor Xie, what strange thing happened in school?" Qin Feng put away the sword and asked suspiciously.
