Chapter Ninety-Five: Crafting the Scabbard
That killing intent was quickly suppressed and hidden, but its intensity was unpredictable, and I secretly tightened my grip on Zichen Liyun's hilt, ready to fight at any time.
"Fight immortals with martial arts...... Whose disciple are you? Elder Canggu's face was solemn, and his eyes were fixed on me.
"Please forgive the juniors for not being able to reveal it, before leaving, the family teacher specially told him that his name should not be mentioned by anyone except the head of Daohan."
Elder Canggu pondered for a long time, and finally his face softened, and the suppressed killing intent also receded like a tide, and he waved his hand: "Well, since your master has explained it like this, it is inconvenient for Poor Dao to ask too many questions, but it will take a few more days for the head of the sect to get out of the customs, do you want to stay in the Nine Immortals Palace first, or wait a few days and then come back?" ”
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it seems that this Canggu Elder is not the kind of arrogant and unreasonable person, otherwise, if it really fights, even if I fight to the death, I will not have any chance of winning, and it is estimated that I will not even have a chance to escape.
As for whether to stay in the Nine Immortals Palace or come back in a few days. I thought for a moment and said, "Since the head of Dao Han is still in retreat, then the juniors will walk around here first, increase their experience by the way, and come back to visit in a few days." ”
Elder Canggu nodded slightly, when I asked about today's matter, how he planned to deal with it, he pondered for a long time, and finally spoke, "What is the conduct of these people, Poor Dao has often heard people mention it, and when they go back, Poor Dao will report to the council and punish them in accordance with the door rules." ”
"But after all, they are the disciples of your Nine Immortal Palace, and they were beaten by me like this, don't you mind?" I asked tentatively.
Elder Canggu lightly twisted his beard and said, "Don't worry, Poor Dao is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do, this matter is their fault first, you have the ability to defeat them but didn't kill them, Poor Dao should be grateful to you." ”
Hearing him say this, I was relieved, turned to look at Chu Ruozhao, and said, "Ruozhao, if this matter is over, you can go back to Chang'an with me." ”
Hearing the word "Chang'an", Chu Ruozhao's expression was a little sad, he shook his head, and said, "Zimo, I understand your intentions, but I can't face my uncle and them, and I ask you to say hello to my grandfather for me when you go back." ”
"But ......"
Before I could continue, Elder Canggu interrupted and said, "Are you worried about today's events, and if they happen again?" At the beginning, the head of the sect brought Ruozhao into the Nine Immortals Palace and worshiped under the poor Dao sect, over the years, the poor Dao only cared about studying the immortal law, and did not take enough care of her, so that her other disciples bullied, which was the dereliction of responsibility of the poor Dao. ”
Speaking of this, he set his eyes on Chu Ruozhao's body, his eyes were full of kindness and guilt, which reminded me of the old man and Xiao Youming in the small noodle restaurant.
Elder Canggu sighed lightly and continued, "Poor Dao will accept her as a closed disciple today, and from now on, no one will dare to touch a single hair of her. ”
"Then the junior will be relieved, thank you Elder Canggu." I bowed to him, and then patted Ruozhao's shoulder with a hippie smile, and said, "Ruozhao, I'll come to you again in a few days, remember not to think about me." ”
"Okay, then we will get drunk again." Ruozhao smiled and punched me.
Before leaving, I cheekily asked the Canggu Elder for some silver taels, after all, when I was out of the house, it was really difficult to move an inch without money.
When I sat at the tea table in the room, I wiped Zichen Liyun with a rag, and I found that there were a few lines of small characters on it an inch above the handle of the knife.
"Baby apprentice, this trip to the Nine Immortals Palace, there are many fierce and auspicious ones, that crazy woman (the current head of the Nine Immortals Palace - Shi Daohan) has a quirky personality and is not easy to speak, because the teacher is afraid that you will suffer in her hands, so she took advantage of your sleep to pass on a little skill to you, which can be regarded as a reward for you.
But this skill is too domineering and fierce to blend with you in a short period of time, you need to find a way to integrate it yourself and be able to retract and release it freely...... If by the time you come back, you haven't used that power for your own use, then the teacher will have to take it back. ”
"What, how can you send it out and go back." I puffed out my cheeks in dissatisfaction, and at that moment, the handwriting on it turned into a cloud of light, dissipated into the air, and ceased to exist.
I didn't pay much attention to it, after all, these words didn't look good on Zichen Liyun.
"Let's go out and find a blacksmith shop to make a scabbard first, otherwise it will be too conspicuous to carry it in your hand like this." As the old saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, such a good magic weapon, I don't want to let people steal it like this.
The streets were bustling with people, and it took a long time to find a blacksmith shop, which was owned by a stocky middle-aged man with a full beard, a dark complexion, and eyes like brass bells.
It is said that people should not be good-looking, although this shop looks fierce and vicious, but it is extremely enthusiastic, seeing my arrival, he hurriedly got up and greeted, and said: "Girl, this is to pick up weapons?" How about you look at this, the whole body is made of divine iron, sharpening mud like iron, facing the sword, a senseless divine soldier, are you interested in having one? ”
Belch...... Created by divine iron, sharpened mud like iron? Solution? Still in front of a senseless divine soldier? I said, shopkeeper, are you praising your weapons for being good or for your badness?
I waved my hand in embarrassment and said, "Shopkeeper, you weapon...... It's better to keep it for yourself, I've got it myself, uh, look. As he spoke, he handed him the Zichen Liyun in his hand.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up suddenly, he took Zichen Liyun, looked left and right, praised again and again, and said, "Ouch, hey!" Girl, your knife is good, it looks like it's made of special materials, look at this blade... Look at this process... Tut-tut, that's so good! ”
In the end, he paid more attention to it, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Girl, do you sell this knife?" I received one hundred taels for you, and I am giving you the treasure of my town store here, what do you think? ”
I rolled my eyes when I heard this, how could I give up this unloving divine soldier because of a hundred taels? But I'm quite curious about the treasure of the town store he just mentioned.
He cleared his throat and said, "You show me the treasure of your town store first, and then I will consider whether to sell it to you." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he first looked around with a vigilant face, and then got closer, and whispered: "Girl, the treasure of my town store is not ordinary, I guarantee that you will like it after reading it." Wait a moment, and I'll show you it. ”
Hearing him say this, I immediately became even more curious, the weapons in this store have been sharpened like iron? What other peculiar treasures could there be?
I saw the shopkeeper climb up to the attic, rummage through the cabinets, and toss for a while before sweating profusely and handing me a wooden box that was as black as ink.
The box was only the size of a palm, but it was heavy to handle, but when I heard a "click", the box was opened, and it was not a magic weapon, but a ...... A piece of iron with a lot of craters throughout.
I rolled my eyes directly, returned the box to the shopkeeper, and said speechlessly: "What, a piece of scrap iron is the treasure of the town, who are you fooling?" I still want to exchange it for my Zichen Liyun, my greed is not enough to swallow an elephant, can you be a little greedy? ”
The shopkeeper was immediately unhappy: "What scrap iron, you really don't know the goods, this is the divine iron that I bought at a lot of money a few years ago, it's precious, or I see that your weapon is good today, I won't change it." ”
"Isn't it just a lump of iron, and it's also a god of iron, maybe when you fight weapons, use the leftover scraps, you think I'm a three-year-old child, so easy to fool?"
"You... I really don't know the goods, I'm too lazy to argue with you. The shopkeeper muttered dissatisfied, turned around and put the box back.
"Shopkeeper, just keep the treasure of your town shop, don't hit it with my weapon, you just say, can you fight this scabbard? If you can't beat me, I'll find someone else. I smiled and said.
"You've heard that the blacksmith doesn't even know how to hit a scabbard?" The shopkeeper said angrily, "It's just that your weapon is too special, if you use ordinary materials, the scabbard created is simply a stain on the divine weapon, and you must use the best materials." ”
Listening to what he said, I agreed, and asked, "What do you think is the best material to use?" ”
"I have some ordinary iron and copper here, but I heard that Lao Wang next door just bought a batch of fine copper yesterday, which is used to make scabbards, which is the most suitable, so I will go to him to order it."
"He has the materials, so can't I just ask him to call me?"
When the boss heard this, he immediately grabbed my arm and didn't let me leave: "No! Girl, you're not authentic, you found me first, how can you find someone else now? ”
"But don't you have no materials, I'll just ask him to call me, and you don't have to run around to make trouble for yourself, do you?"
The shopkeeper quickly replied: "It's not troublesome, it's not troublesome at all, I'll go to Lao Wang to ask for copper now, and then immediately make you a scabbard, girl, let me do your business......"
Speaking of this, his face showed a sad look, and his tone became choked, and he said: "I won't tell you, my blacksmith shop has not had a business for a long time, and there are Gao Tang in his eighties and his children under three years old, and they are still waiting for me to make money to eat...... Girl, you're okay, let me do this business. ”
To be honest, I didn't believe his words very much, but I wasn't sure if what he said was false, looking at his true expression, I still relented, sighed lightly, and said: "Okay, okay, since you have done what you said, then let you take this job." ”
