Chapter 197 The pinnacle of heavy armor in the past
"Shark scales?"
Li Shuguo was startled at first, and then seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he rubbed his hands.
“When I was in Quanzhou Port, I often heard from the old people who went to Southeast Asia that there were strange fish on overseas islands, with human heads and fish bodies, their bodies were covered with scales, and they shed tears like beads. They were best at weaving. "
"Is it possible that shopkeeper Chen is going to sea this time? "
"?"
He started talking about Quanzhou Port.
Chen Yulou felt something was wrong.
But Li Shuguo was in great interest and could not interrupt rashly. When he heard that he was going to sea, he could no longer hold back.
The Huamaguai on the side is even more so.
I want to laugh but dare not.
"No, no, no, shopkeeper Li misunderstood..."
Chen Yulou waved his hand.
But just as he spoke, Li Shuguo was confused and continued to mutter to himself.
"Could it be a mackerel...that is, a whale shark? That's not right. I heard that sharks have no scales."
"Hey, Shopkeeper Li, haven't you understood? This is the dragon's scale."
Although this is the first time I've seen Huamaguai.
But a few days ago, the shopkeeper and others went out to return to the village. At the dust-cleaning banquet that night, he heard a lot of rumors from Hong Gu and Kunlun.
There are constant adventures and dangers along the way.
Slay demons and conquer demons.
"Jiao...Jiaolong?!"
Li Shuguo was still racking his brains and thinking hard.
When I suddenly heard this word, I felt a buzz in my head, like a muffled thunder exploding.
The whole person froze.
The hand holding the wooden box almost lost its balance.
"Not bad."
Chen Yulou smiled faintly and nodded.
Gudong——
Seeing his confirmation, Li Shuguo couldn't help but feel shocked, dumbfounded, and swallowed hard. He suddenly felt like a storyteller in the restaurant at the foot of the mountain, talking about those folklore Strange feeling.
Dragon?
Isn't that the damn Water God Dragon King?
He has traveled to many places in his life, especially during the few years he spent in Quanzhou City when he was young. Those fishermen believed in these the most, and there were Dragon King temples everywhere.
Worship the dragon and offer sacrifices to the water god, and the incense is very popular.
The demon tendon that was sent to Shijun Mountain a few months ago.
Although Chen Yulou did not say what he extracted it from, he is still a martial artist, and his five senses, six senses, and vision are still far beyond ordinary people, so he still has some guesses in his heart.
What's more, the demon tendon had already frightened him that day and made him horrified for a long time.
Now I was told.
What is hidden in the jade box in front of you belongs to the dragon.
The most important thing is that it is not difficult to judge from the scales in the jade box. They are not pieced together, but removed from the dragon's body.
That is to say.
He's going out this time.
Beheaded a dragon?
You know, evil sacrifices have been prevalent in Xiangxi since ancient times.
But he knew.
The existence of those mountain gods who are worshiped as mountain gods.
Most of them are yellow and gray things that have become spirits, and even the most amazing things are just like tigers and leopards.
But even so.
Being frightened by such evil things can lead to illness or death.
Unless you are successful in martial arts, your qi and blood are like mercury.
Only in order to resist some.
Or he is a person who works for iron all year round. He spends most of the day in the company of the iron furnace and the earth dragon. His energy and blood are stained with the majestic fire, and his life is like a burning lamp.
It can also resist evil spirits.
But this is the limit of ordinary people.
As for slaying demons, he had heard of it from storytellers, but he had never seen it.
That's it.
What level of cultivation has this shopkeeper Chen in front of me achieved?
He kills demons and demons at every turn and suppresses dragons.
The legendary immortal is nothing more than this.
Thinking of this, Li Shuguo's surprise was even more indescribable.
"Shopkeeper Li..."
"I don't know."
There was silence for a long time.
He finally came to his senses and took a deep breath secretly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard shopkeeper Chen on the opposite side also happened to speak, and Li Shuguo immediately stretched out his hand.
"Shopkeeper Chen said it first."
"Okay."
Chen Yulou didn’t waste any time either.
Briefly stated the requirements.
After listening, Li Shuguo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
I thought about it for a moment before considering it.
“These bows and arrows and the nine-section whip are pretty good. Li has also cast them for others over the years, but this last piece of heavy armor... I have to think about it carefully.”
< br>
Heavy armored cavalry.
That was an antique from many years ago.
Since entering the Republic of China, spears and artillery, and fighting on the battlefield have no longer relied on cavalry. Even the heavy armored battalions that were famous all over the world only exist in legends.
The last time he made a sword with demon sinew, it had already amazed him.
This time I used dragon scales to carve armor again.
Even a veteran like Li Shuguo had to admire Chen Yulou's unconstrained power.
“Shopkeeper Li doesn’t need to worry about this.”
Chen Yulou seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.
He casually took out a piece of folded white paper from the cuff of his gown.
"Is this?"
Li Shuguo was startled.
But I still took it subconsciously.
When he opened it, the surprise in his eyes instantly dissipated and became extremely shocked.
There are only a few pictures on the page.
They are all horizontal and vertical lines.
But put together, it is clearly a heavy armor pattern.
"Is this the dragon scale heavy armor designed by you, Shopkeeper Chen?"
Li Shuguo has never seen such a pattern before.
But I have to say it.
With just a few strokes, a complete thing can be dismantled clearly.
Even a layman can understand it.
“Not bad.”
“What do Shopkeeper Li think?”
There is too little information in this era, and Chen Yulou doesn’t know what the process of casting utensils is, so he uses drawings Draw out your thoughts.
“Great.”
"Looking at the style in this picture, shopkeeper Chen should have copied the Bu Renjia from the Song Dynasty?"
Li Shuguo didn't dare to finish his sentence.
But in ancient times, heavy armor was nothing more than Qin armor, iron armor, simple sleeve armor, Mingguang armor, foot armor and chain plate armor.
Among them, the Bu Renjia of the Song Dynasty is the most astonishing.
It is definitely the pinnacle of heavy armor in the past.
The best one among them is Yue Fei, who carries the Wei army behind his tent.
“Yes, Shopkeeper Li is indeed very knowledgeable.”
Listening to what he said was a real revelation.
Even Chen Yulou couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Nowadays, unlike later generations, many things can easily be lost based on book records alone.
In particular, the Bu Renjia is still a thing from the Song Dynasty.
Everyone who doesn’t specialize in research or collection will not recognize it at all.
Although Li Shuguo always prides himself on being a blacksmith.
But this vision alone is far beyond that of ordinary people.
“That’s right, but the infantry armor is so heavy that ordinary soldiers cannot wear it at all, especially when they are marching and fighting immediately, it is even more inconvenient.”
"I see that in this heavy armor, a lot of changes have been made between the shoulder armor, chest armor and belly armor. When you get up and move your body, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
The more Li Shuguo looked at it, the more excited he became.
The picture in front of him may be just a piece of blank paper in the eyes of ordinary people, but to a person like him who knows the goods, it is definitely a priceless treasure.
He actually never had the chance to build armor in his life.
After all, this thing has been eliminated long ago.
The sword wielder can still be seen.
But these days, who would wear a suit of heavy armor and swagger through the city?
See him accurately point out the structure of the heavy armor.
The admiration in Chen Yulou's eyes became more intense.
As expected of the master of Honeycomb Mountain.
Li Shuguo's knowledge alone is enough to climb the thirty-six mountains in the world.
"I just don't know..."
As he spoke.
Li Shuguo thought about it secretly.
This piece of foot armor weighs at least a hundred pounds.
Even though the magic touch can save a lot of energy, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Chang Yulou invited himself down the mountain twice to have a look.
Everything he did was for actual combat purposes.
The dragon scale sword forged for him that day is still hanging on his waist from time to time. The decoration on the scabbard is natural, which makes him gentle but also a little sharper.
But the problem is.
At first glance, Chen Yulou was following the path of Neijing Xinfa.
It is not his method of training the physical body. Such a heavy armor doesn't seem to fit him well.
"Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, this heavy armor is prepared for Kunlun."
Although he didn't finish the sentence.
But Chen Yulou still penetrated his mind immediately.
Immediately shook his head and smiled.
"Kunlun..."
Hearing this name, Li Shuguo's mind immediately appeared in Li Shuguo's mind, like a mountain bear leaning against the sky.
Before in Zhuangzi.
Saw it many times.
At that time, he was still feeling in his heart, if he could bring it back to the mountain, he would definitely be a good blacksmith.
However, Li Shuguo also knew that it was purely wishful thinking.
People sit firmly in the fourth place on Changsheng Mountain.
Why should I go back to Yuhua Mountain with him to blacksmith?
However, he thought that the heavy armor was prepared by Chen Yulou for him, so he really didn't think about Kunlun.
See him now for confirmation.
Li Shuguo’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
Nine feet tall and tall, wearing heavy armor, he would definitely be an unparalleled warrior on the battlefield.
It’s a pity that I was born at the wrong time.
Otherwise, a few hundred years ago, he might have been an overlord-like figure.
Of course, he only dared to criticize these words.
He couldn't see through what Chen Yulou did.
"So, shopkeeper Chen, when will Li start?"
Put away your distracting thoughts.
Li Shuguo's eyes showed expectation.
A few more big monster weapons.
Most people would never dare to think about it, but it is definitely the biggest wish of an ironworker.
“Of course it depends on shopkeeper Li’s time.”
“Then today?”
Upon hearing Chen Yulou's words, Li Shuguo immediately spoke.
Arrive at Shijunshan Dihuo one day early.
He can also set up a furnace and smelt as soon as possible.
"No rush, no hurry, shopkeeper Li has worked hard all the way. Today I will give you a break. In addition, there is one more material. After all, it will only be shipped in the next two days."
See his anxious look.
Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile and waved his hand.
Although he also wanted to complete the project as soon as possible, how could he not even eat when he invited people from all the way?
"...that's fine."
"Then I'll listen to shopkeeper Chen's arrangements."
Li Shuguo grinned, obviously a little disappointed.
For him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat, as long as the stove can be turned on as soon as possible, but after all, it's not like Yuhua Mountain. He is a guest from afar, so he must abide by the host's time.
"Guaizi, ask someone to inform the chef."
"Take shopkeeper Li to his residence to rest."
After hearing the order, Huamaguai nodded immediately. Agree.
Made a gesture of invitation towards Li Shuguo.
Lead him all the way to the backyard guest room.
The last time I came here, someone was always cleaning and taking care of the house he lived in. After sending him there and chatting warmly for a few words, Huamaguai returned the same way.
He still remembers it.
The last time I went to Yuhua Mountain, the shopkeeper promised myself that he would give me a big gift when he came back.
On the way back to the village, he was thinking about it.
With the shopkeeper's personality, he will definitely not be stingy when taking action.
Wait for him to return outside Guanyun Tower.
Chen Yulou seemed to expect that he would come back. He stood in the lobby with his hands behind his back, quietly admiring the ancient paintings hanging around.
“Coming?”
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Chen Yulou looked away from a picture of ancient pines, clouds and cranes.
Then he pointed to the screen not far away.
Hua Maguai’s eyes flashed.
As someone close to the shopkeeper.
He knew very well what was hidden behind the screen.
After all, the underground grotto is a top secret of the Chen family. Except for a few of them, even the girls responsible for cleaning the building don't know that there is another floor below Guanyun Downstairs.
"Let's go and take a look."
Chen Yulou walked around the screen and reached out to lightly touch somewhere on the wall.
Only a crisp sound from the amplifier was heard.
Then the floor tiles closed up.
A downward stone staircase appears.
The two of them walked downstairs one after the other.
Although he has been there many times, Huamaguai still cannot conceal his shock every time he enters this underground grotto.
However, the layout of the room is similar to before.
The lights are bright.
Read, meditate, practice, and rest.
Several areas are divided in an orderly manner.
Chen Yulou walked lightly, but when he passed by the ancient tripod of Guixu, his eyes moved over.
Compared to a few days ago.
The ancient Legalist mirror has become more and more transparent.
The sea air is imbued and circulates endlessly.
In particular, the pattern of fish and dragon chasing beads on the mirror is even clearer.
As for the hexagram tripod and the three talismans, they are also surrounded by mist.
It seems that it suddenly feels like the Guixu Trigram is reappearing in the world.
Just like the moment it was forged from the dragon fire of Guixu thousands of years ago.
Huama Guai, who was following him, was also in Pingshan Danjing that day and saw with his own eyes the ancient tripods piled up in the coffin mountain. Even after they moved back to Zhuangzi, it was he and Kunlun who personally delivered them here.
Unexpectedly, we have not seen each other for only a few months.
The ancient tripod has a completely new look.
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have dared to imagine it.
Mingqi does not look like material.
It has been spinning between my fingers for a long time.
Can show jade-like color.
But how to build such a big tripod?
“Come.”
While he was still pondering, the shopkeeper’s reminder sounded in his ears.
Huamaguai raised his head subconsciously.
Only then did he realize that Chen Yulou had already approached the bookshelf.
He hurriedly followed.
As soon as he got close, he saw the shopkeeper taking out a jade box from the ancient shelf and handing it to him.
"Who are you, the shopkeeper?"
"You will know if you open it and take a look."
Chen Yulou shrugged and smiled lightly.
Hearing this, Huamaguai did not dare to delay and gently pressed the copper buckle of the jade box.
With a clicking sound, the jade cover bounced up.
For a moment, a blue-gray pill with a hint of gold dust appeared in his sight.
Hua Maguai's heart moved.
A strong sense of familiarity came over me.
I always feel like he has seen this thing somewhere.
"Wait... Taoist Golden Pill?!"
The scenes in the Pingshan Pill Well that day flashed quickly in his mind.
Huamaguai couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Almost."
Chen Yulou nodded.
Although this thing does not make people live forever, Taoist Zhu Dan is a great elixir for drawing Qi into the body and breaking through the realm.
He found it in the stove at Tai Suiyan that day.
Three in total.
He took two, one for Kunlun and one for him.
It's a pity that the boy from Kunlun doesn't want to practice, but he can still use the path of realizing the Tao through force.
"Shopkeeper, this... this is too valuable."
Seeing the shopkeeper, he wanted to give Zhu Dan to himself.
Huamaguai suddenly looked uneasy.
After such a long time, he could still remember the excitement of Partridge Shao, the leader of the mountain movers, when he saw the pill in Pingshan that day.
It was also because of that pill that he stepped into practice.
You can also get a glimpse of it.
How can you waste such great medicine on yourself?
As for the shopkeeper’s own cultivation, Kunlun and Honggu are not good at it. With his body and bones, it is a lucky thing that he can practice martial arts. For him, cultivation is too far away.
"Okay."
"Don't be like a bitch."
"Honggu has already started, Kunlun and you are one, so...what else is there? Hesitant? "
Chen Yulou deliberately kept a straight face.
"It just so happens that your boy has become a master of martial arts in the past few months."
"The Qi and blood are well coordinated."
"In addition, take the medicine for a few more days to adjust the breath to the best state, and then I will protect the formation for you and take the elixir to break through!"
