"Oh..."
Hear the hidden meaning in his words.
Li Shuguo's brows, which were still slightly frowning, suddenly relaxed.
He knew that Shopkeeper Chen had come all the way to invite him from Yuhua Mountain, not just for a few arrows and a fragrant jade.
The Li family's weapon catalog is finally available again.
In the past, the Diamond Umbrella could be regarded as the pinnacle weapon of his life, the one he could handle the most, and the one he was proud to brag about in the world.
But since getting to know Chen Yulou.
He just realized that in the past, opening furnace pins could only be regarded as blacksmithing at best.
The dragon shooting bow, the dragon heavy armor, the dragon scale sword, the nine-section whip, and even the furnace-reforged bone knife, none of them are world-shattering works.
Compared with these, the Diamond Umbrella does not rank high.
"I don't know, shopkeeper Chen, do you have any requirements?"
Although I have never seen anything, I guess it is at least something like a monster with sinews and big bones.
These mountain spirits and monsters are covered in fur, blood and bones, all of which are the best materials for refining weapons.
It's just that it's so rare that the ancestors of the Li family always thought that the secret method in the weapon manual passed down by senior Zhang Yajiu was a fantasy and nonsense.
But...
Today's him.
But there will no longer be any doubt.
That weapon manual was not prepared for ordinary people.
He even doubted whether Zhang Yajiu was a descendant of Taoism and a queen of immortals. Otherwise, how could he have written such secret weapon refining techniques on his own?
"Request?"
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows.
The material he mentioned, besides the snake beads, was the Kunlun sacred tree.
It's a pity that the former does not have the ability of the blue-scaled python to separate water beads. Otherwise, after integrating into itself, the control of water will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
However, the snake mother is not an ordinary snake, but a snake god and demon slave.
There is no innate instinct to separate waters and waves.
The only praiseworthy thing about that bead was its toxicity.
The snake's venom is more powerful than the six-winged centipede.
This is also the reason why the creatures in the desert are as afraid of Jingjian Agama as tigers.
Even if there is just a trace of it, all flesh and bones will melt away in an instant, leaving only a pool of black blood.
Based on this, its best use is actually to make a concealed weapon.
If it really comes to the world, any blood drops, dragon beard hooks, and yin and yang darts will be eclipsed in front of it. As for its toxicity, it will crush the crane crown red, heartbroken grass, and corpse powder.
"Hidden weapon..."
As soon as this idea came up, Chen Yulou subconsciously wanted to reject it.
However, the peripheral vision suddenly glanced at that strange figure. Among the people, the one who was most adept at medicine was undoubtedly Hua Ling.
and.
Although her realm is high now.
Apart from a mirror umbrella, there was nothing else to protect myself.
The partridge whistle has a diamond prong, the old foreigner has a dragon shooting bow, the Kunlun heavy armor, and the red girl's nine-section whip. As for Yang Fang, he has a diamond umbrella and a magic whip, which can attack and defend.
If it were made into a hidden weapon.
It seemed perfect to put it on her.
Thinking of this, Chen Yulou suppressed the idea of rejecting it, and several styles of hidden weapons emerged in his mind.
"Shopkeeper Li, follow me."
"Okay."
I saw his expression change several times.
Finally some resolution seemed to be made.
Li Shuguo didn't understand, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
The two of them walked forward, one behind the other, towards the residence deep in the mountain behind them.
Very different from last year's simplicity.
In the past six months, the Chen family's workers built a courtyard in the middle of the mountain. It was built against the mountain and entered in two directions. Except for the water source that needed to be carried in little by little from the outside, it had almost everything needed for daily life.
See this scene.
Even Li Shuguo, who had visited several times, looked surprised.
“This place is great.”
"Shopkeeper Chen, I want to stay here for a long time."
After walking around the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Li Shuguo couldn't help but joke.
That is to say, the Chen family has this power.
Seeing those guys going back and forth between the cliffs on the top of the mountain, he had no doubt that there would be an extra plank road the next time he came back.
"Shopkeeper Li is joking."
"Come, please, take a look at the material of this pin."
Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled.
Knew he was joking.
The side of the Hundred-foot Fire Dragon is constantly being roasted by the fire. Even if you stay there for a long time, even if you come down there, you will feel like you have been fished out of the water. You will be covered in sweat and your clothes will be wet.
Even if he is obsessed with the art of weapon refining.
I'm afraid I won't be able to immerse myself.
"Okay."
Even though he had already guessed it, Li Shuguo couldn't help but feel excited when he actually heard it from Chen Yulou.
Immediately following behind him, the two of them opened the door and walked in, one after the other.
There are many people coming and going in the hospital.
Everyone is busy.
There are also guys who stay up late to patrol the mountains, and they are resting on the bunk.
Chen Yulou did not disturb them, just waved his hand, and then led Li Shuguo to the second floor.
This place is obviously built in imitation of the high-rise building on Changsheng Mountain, but the scale and momentum are weaker. After all, it is only for the workers who open the furnace and refine the weapons to take a rest.
Moreover, it is not easy to move masonry and wood tiles.
Basically, it's as simple as possible.
But even so, with the tiles covering their bodies, the two of them still felt a chill coming over them as soon as they entered it, which was much better than the heat outside.
There are several jade boxes lined up on the table.
The moment he saw it, a bright color suddenly appeared in the depths of Li Shuguo's eyes.
When I made the sword for Shopkeeper Chen that day, the demon tendon was stored in a jade box. Now that I saw it again, I am afraid that even if it is not as good as the demon tendon, it is still a good thing on the same level.
He immediately came forward with a look of surprise on his face.
Wait until Chen Yulou opens the jade cover.
In an instant.
He then saw a pill bead the size of a fist, as black as ink, and glowing with a strange color, lying quietly in the jade box.
"This...is this?"
Before he even got close, he felt a fishy smell coming toward his face.
Even though he was full of energy and blood, for a moment, he was almost shaken by the aura. His whole body felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, his blood was stagnant, and his face was pale.
What shocked him even more.
There seemed to be an astonishing toxicity on that pill bead.
Just getting a little closer and taking a whiff made him feel as if his energy and blood were stagnant and he was feeling groggy.
"The Orb of the Snake!"
There were no outsiders at the moment, and Chen Yulou had no intention of hiding anything. He responded word by word and softly.
Snake? !
Hearing this, Li Shuguo was even more shocked.
He used to be a dragon, but now he is a snake demon. Shopkeeper Chen has been out for half a year and a few months, but he is hunting demons and snakes.
Just...
I had never heard that the Chen family had the skill of being a snake catcher before.
"What does shopkeeper Chen mean?"
This thing is rare in the world and he has never seen it before.
Without Chen Yulou's guidance, Li Shuguo would not dare to take action easily.
"Hidden weapon!"
"It is made of secret gold pins. It can be used for sleeve arrows, daggers, daggers, or barrel needles. After the snake beads are melted, they are immersed in it."
Listen to him ask.
Chen Yulou was calm and calm, and he obviously had a plan.
"If it's just these words, it won't be a problem."
"Snake beads will not..."
I heard him mention several types of weapons in succession. Although they were all hidden weapons, which were somewhat beyond Li Shuguo's expectations, he would naturally do whatever his master said.
What's more, compared to swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes and spears, concealed weapons are undoubtedly much more difficult to create.
Good thing for him.
“Shopkeeper Li, don’t worry.”
Chen Yulou shook his head and smiled. Although the five elements of Snake Pearl are yin, and the fire nature of Shijun Mountain is soaring to the sky, the two can only harmonize yin and yang, and will never be burned into a pile of ashes by the fire cave as he feared.
"With the words of shopkeeper Chen, Li is relieved."
Seeing his eyes full of confidence.
Li Shuguo's mind also calmed down.
"This is?"
His eyes turned to another jade box.
Chen Yulou did not whet his appetite and opened it gently.
In an instant, sections of wood with fine textures like gold and jade appeared in front of their eyes.
"This is the legendary Kunlun sacred tree."
"Invulnerable to water and fire, and difficult to break with swords and guns, it is the most suitable weapon for self-defense."
"There are a total of six pieces here, all of which are first-class materials. Shopkeeper Li arranges them by himself, and Chen will not interfere."
I heard what he said.
Li Shuguo was completely shocked and unable to extricate himself.
The genus of snake dragon.
Mountain spirits and ghosts.
I have heard about it since I was a child, and there are countless rumors among the people.
After hearing more, it seems that it is not unacceptable to see the real thing again.
But the damn Kunlun Sacred Tree... that was something that Qin Shihuang couldn't find even if he begged for it. He just put it in front of him, and then he wanted to use it to refine weapons?
Li Shuguo felt like his heart was beating like a drum and his mind went blank.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Only then did he regain his composure.
The confusion in his eyes was completely covered by ecstasy and anticipation.
"Okay."
"Shopkeeper Chen, Li will definitely live up to his trust!"
"At most three months, no, one month, I will personally deliver the utensils to your house then!"
Li Shuguo rubbed his hands vigorously, holding his fists, his tone full of excitement.
Looking at him, he almost wanted to issue a military order.
After all, it would be impossible for him to find such materials anywhere in the world for him to get started with.
Listen to the time he mentions.
Chen Yulou calculated it silently and immediately nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then Chen will be waiting for the good news from Shopkeeper Li then!"
A long time followed.
He won't even leave.
As long as you arrive before the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be no problem.
Next, the two briefly discussed it, and after coming up with a rough idea, they put down the materials, closed the door and walked downstairs.
When returning to the fire cave.
Li Shuguo's two sons and brothers had already walked along the mountain ladder and approached the steel-making furnace. They were chattering and discussing something excitedly.
The two faces were flushed red by the firelight.
It's hard to hide the joy between his eyebrows.
It seems that he can't wait.
Seeing this, the two couldn't help but smile at each other. Chen Yulou was impressed by the fact that the blood of the Li family had been passed down from generation to generation, while Li Shuguo was pleasantly surprised that bringing them along on this trip was indeed the right choice.
A month or two down.
It is worth several years of forging iron on Yuhua Mountain.
"Then, shopkeeper Li, Chen will not stay any longer."
"But if there are any missing items, even if you tell the guys in the mountains, the Chen family will definitely help and deliver them in the shortest possible time."
Calculate the time.
Chen Yulou did not waste any time and said goodbye directly.
He didn't understand how to open the stove. As long as Li Shuguo arranged the affairs, they had to continue on their way and try to land on the island before noon.
"Shopkeeper Chen just needs to be careful."
"With me here in charge, there won't be any trouble."
A few days ago, Chen Yulou mentioned that they were going to Dongting Lake. Naturally, Li Shuguo would not stop him. He just hugged his fists and laughed loudly.
"Okay!"
There were nearly ten people in the group, watched by three father and son members of the Li family and many clerks.
Stepping on the hanging centipede ladder on the cliff, the speed was astonishing. In just a moment, it crossed the cliff and disappeared all the way.
Wait until you reach the bottom of the mountain.
The guys had already brought in the horses that had been brushed and fed.
Along the long embankment of the river, the group did not delay at all. The water beside them became more and more alarming, and the shadows of many large ships gradually appeared on the river.
The Yuanjiang River originates here.
It is connected to Dongting, Yangtze River and Dazhang Three Lakes.
Before you get close, you can feel the majestic and endless water vapor in front of you from a distance, as if it blocks the sky and the sun.
Chen Yulou subconsciously raised his head.
Soon, a small black shadow was found in the clouds and mist.
If not Luofu, who else could it be?
Since this guy knew that he was going to Dongting Lake today, he had been waiting in the backyard early in the morning. Before they set off, he even rushed into the sky one step ahead.
That is to say, there is a divine connection between him and Luofu.
Otherwise it would be difficult to find.
In less than half an hour, the three lakes of Dazhang came into everyone's sight, because mid-spring was the water supply season. Compared with last year when they took a boat from here to the Yangtze River and rushed to the Western Regions, the lake surface was obviously many times wider.
Three large lakes are connected to each other.
The clear water overflows the embankment and small island in the middle, and only the treetops can be seen floating in the lake.
Fishing boats plied back and forth on the lake.
From time to time, a few whistles and trumpets could be heard, revealing an unconcealed joy. They must have caught a big fish, and their cheers could be heard half way across the lake.
Everyone subconsciously slowed down.
They seem to be afraid that the sound of horse hooves will startle the fish underwater.
After all, the current fishing season is only for a few days. After the flood season, one is that the fish will not be so fresh and tender, and the other is that the big fish will dive into deep water after throwing the seeds, making it harder to catch.
Until the scorching sun moved to the top of my head.
Everyone finally arrived outside Dongting Lake.
I found an ancient ferry crossing.
There are many ferry boats moored.
From time to time, you can see boats coming from the vast lake and entering the ferry.
The kidnapper took the initiative to find the boat.
After a moment, he turned around and waved to everyone. What was docked in the ferry was a large ferry, and the deck was completely empty.
Even a horse-drawn carriage can go up there on weekdays.
Although a bit worn.
But compared to others, this is the only large ship that can accommodate a dozen horses.
The price is not too high either.
The most important thing is that the boat boss is one of the few people who dares to go to Junshan Island at this time.
A group of people led the horses into the boat.
There was no place to sit, either leaning on the side of the boat or sitting cross-legged, breaking through the waves and slowly heading towards the island.
"The leader of the boat."
"I was just at the ferry. I heard them say that the lake is not peaceful these days?"
Chen Yulou went down the gangway to the cabin, leaned against the door, and talked to the boss of the ship wordlessly.
"It's more than peaceful."
"Recently, a gang of thugs appeared out of nowhere and targeted Chishan Island. As soon as they got on the lake, they met the water ghosts in the waves."
The boss of the boat is in his fifties.
He has dark skin, thick limbs, is wearing a short shirt, and his hands are covered with calluses. At first glance, he looks like a man who has been running boats all year round.
When I heard him ask this question, I immediately responded with a click of my tongue.
"The water ghost in the waves, isn't that the water bandit who has been famous for many years on Dongting Lake?"
Chen Yulou pretended to be amazed, "No matter how ferocious those people are, can they be more ferocious than him?"
"Hey, this...sir, you don't know right now. How about the ferocious nature of those people? In just two days, the water ghosts in the waves have been beaten so hard that they are running away. There is also news that the bones are so cold." ”
"Real or false?"
Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows.
I originally thought about going to Junshan Island and asking Uncle Jiu to find out more.
Unexpectedly, I got such big news halfway.
"That's still fake."
"You are lucky enough to go to Junshan Island. If you go to Chishan, no one would dare to pay for it." (End of Chapter)
