Chapter 40: Liuyun Treasure Pavilion
Chang Yu came back to his senses, swept his hand away, pointed to a restaurant-lined avenue on the right, and said seriously, "When we find a suitable shopkeeper, we will partner to open a restaurant on this most prosperous Wenxing Road!" β
Zhan Zhen blinked, seeing that Chang Yu looked resolute, not joking, he praised him again and again, and said, "It seems that Brother Chang is quite interested in these, and I will take you to another few roads." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
After that, he led Chang Yu to the North District and walked towards the street next to Wenxing Road.
Along the way, I turned around and passed countless streets and shops.
Bronze, pearl jade, ivory, silverfish, leather, horses, etc., are all sold in special stores, which makes Chang Yu overwhelmed and amazed.
At a turn, the eyes opened up to a four-car wide bluestone street.
There are many fewer pedestrians here, but everyone is dressed in strong clothes and wearing swords at their waists, and they are all martial arts practitioners.
Dozens of weapons shops on both sides of the road were close to each other, and the doors were full of high-quality swords, armor and shields, reflecting bright sword light.
A few of the artisan shops had red-hot stoves burning in front of them, and business was particularly thriving, apparently with good craftsmen supporting the faΓ§ade.
Customers are carefully picking up the right swords, and occasionally bargaining with the shopkeeper.
Chang Yu followed behind Zhan Yuan, looking left and right, he couldn't help but feel a little moved, even a layman like him could see that the quality of these weapons was extraordinary, far above ordinary swords, and he was lacking one or two weapons for self-defense.
"The sword of the Yue Kingdom, unparalleled in the world, the two little brothers are interested in coming in and taking a look?" A tall man next to him greeted.
Zhan Nao's purpose of this trip didn't seem to be here, and he explained to Chang Yu while refusing, "Most of these people are descendants of the Yue Kingdom, and the swords built by the Yue people are extraordinary!" β
The more swords and armor in the world, Chang Yu has also heard of it.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a sword-casting master named Ou Yezi, who cast five swords for Goujian, the king of Yue, namely Zhanlu, Juque, Shengxie, Yugu, and Chunjun, and also cast three famous swords for the king of Chuzhao, named Longyuan, Tai'a, and Gongbu.
The fish intestine sword was the sword used by the assassins to assassinate the royal officials, and it was hidden in the belly of the fish.
The Longyuan sword is even more miraculous, the legend is that Ou Yezi for the casting of this sword, chiseled the mountain, released the mountain stream, and led to the sword furnace next to the seven pools of the Big Dipper Seven Stars Ring, it is called "Seven Stars".
After the sword is completed, looking down at the sword body, it is like climbing a high mountain and looking down at the abyss, ethereal and profound, as if there is a giant dragon lying down, it is called "Dragon Yuan".
In the Tang Dynasty, because of the avoidance of the ancestor Li Yuan, the word "Yuan" was changed to the word "Quan", which was called "Seven Star Dragon Spring", also known as Longquan Sword. The Longquan Sword is mostly known to future generations, but few people know that the Longquan Sword was actually made by the sword-casting master Ou Yezi thousands of years ago.
The other swords must also be immortal, and the birth of these swords is only more than a hundred years ago, and they still exist in the world, so it is not necessary to be lucky enough to witness them.
Chang Yu thought to himself, and asked Zhan Jiao again, "Where are we going this time?" β
"Big brother, look up." Zhan said with a smile.
Chang Yu looked up and saw a plaque hanging obliquely, as if it had been crooked, with three big characters of "Liuyun Pavilion" written on it, which was also written with unique characteristics, and it was as ugly as Chang Yu himself.
But the store was surprisingly large, the size of five ordinary weapons shops.
Through the wide door, you can see the store richly decorated, with strange weapons hanging on the walls, and a staircase leading to the second floor.
The weapon is indeed strange, Chang Yu glanced at it again, and came to this conclusion again in his heart.
There were also many customers in the shop, looking back and forth at the weapons on the shelves, with envy in their eyes, but when they looked at the price code on the erected bamboo chips, they shook their heads regretfully.
A slightly chubby middle-aged man on the counter was a little shorter, with plump and delicate skin, and was holding his chin at this time, drooping his eyelids, sleepy, and listlessly looking at the customers in the store, obviously not in a hurry at all.
On either side of the counter stood two sturdy men, their eyes shining.
"Let's go, this is also a good store I stumbled upon." Zhan said and took the lead towards the store.
The slightly chubby man was just the two people who swept into the store with a sweep of his eyes, and he didn't plan to come forward to greet him, and his eyelids drooped even lower.
Chang Yu walked to a shelf, looked at the introduction on the bamboo slip in front of him, and was amazed.
These are five arrows with feathers, named "Ringing Cloud Arrows". The arrow is made of bronze, and the center of the triangular arrow is hollowed out, and a small hole is revealed in the back, and the arrow is made into a copper whistle with a built-in reed. When the Xiangyun Arrow is shot into the air, it can emit a long roar, which resounds through the sky, which has a strange use.
It is indeed exquisite, Chang Yu praised it in his heart, and when he saw the price marked on the bamboo piece, he was startled, "Fifty taels of gold!" β
At this time, the currency exchange relationship was: one tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to one hanging money, that is, one thousand yuan.
These five Xiangyun arrows cost five hundred taels of silver, even if they are diligent in giving orders, they will save for a few years without eating or drinking, let alone ordinary swordsmen.
Looking to the side again, it was a thin sword as thin as a cicada's wings, called "Fine Crystal Sword", the sword body was crystal clear, I don't know what kind of material it was made of, and the price was five hundred taels of gold, which made Chang Yu stunned.
In addition, there is also a soft whip called "sickle whip", each whip is composed of a round iron ring, and the whip body has a total of one hundred and eight sections. There are sharp barbed hooks on each side of the iron ring, and I am afraid that if I am whipped, my flesh will be blurred.
The price of the scythe was eight hundred taels of gold.
"Look, that's the Mo family's workman!" Zhan Zhi suddenly exclaimed, pulling Chang Yu and rushing to a group of people next to him.
Squeezing through the crowd, Chang Yu looked up and saw a pair of huge wings in front of him.
The front frame of the wing frame is made of black iron, and the wing body behind it is a seamless ink-colored thin wood, and then there are yellow and white flying kites with long feathers, the wings are compact and plump, lifelike, like a large peng spreading its wings.
The black iron and balsa wood are carved with light wind and auspicious clouds, and there is a three-legged bird on each wing, which is the totem of the Mo family.
There are two double holes on the wings that can be extended into the arms, which should be the place of control.
The single wing that spreads out is as long as a person, and the two wings are connected into one, which is more like a penghu fluttering on the face, and the momentum is compelling.
If you wear this wing and soar in the sky, you must be like a flying peng.
"The disciples of the Mo family have their own duties, and those who are engaged in debate among the ink are called 'ink debates', those who are engaged in martial arts are called 'ink warriors', and those who are engaged in organ work are called 'ink workers', it seems that the skills of this ink workers are really worthy of their reputation!"
"That's right, I heard that the kite that uses internal qi to control the Mo family's workman can fly for three days and three nights, and I only saw it today, and I was moved to see it."
"I heard that the public loser also has a flying machine, named Zhu Que, and some people have seen it in Chudi, I don't know if it is included in this Liuyun Pavilion?"
"Liuyun Pavilion has a big business, stores are all over the world, and such strange goods must have been in the pocket for a long time, but this kite costs three thousand taels ......of gold, and the bamboo magpie is definitely not cheap," someone sighed.
The crowd sighed again with regret.
Chang Yu likes it, but this sky-high price is naturally not something he can touch, and he feels a pity in his heart.
"There is also the Mo family's 'non-attacking shield' here!" Someone shouted.
Chang Yu heard the prestige and found a thick black and smooth shield, the shield was square and round, with the dark iron as the heart and the black wood as the bottom, which was very strong.
"There is also the hook rejection of the public loser, this is a sharp weapon of water warfare, it is really exquisite!"
This was followed by a flurry of exclamations, but they were also expensive.
"It seems that Your Excellency Liuyun has put a lot of effort into it, but unfortunately some rumors have not been seen, and it is impossible to see the large-scale machine beasts and machine equipment that attack here!" Someone else sighed.
"That's not necessarily, I'm afraid your pockets are too deflated." Someone teased, causing everyone to laugh.
Judging from the Gong Kite and the Non-Attacking Shield, the Mo family's mechanism technique is indeed unusual, and Chang Yu can't help but feel a little excited. However, it seems that the drive of some organs is also related to internal qi, otherwise this kite seems to be a little bulky, how can it fly for three days and three nights.
Thinking of the working kite, Chang Yu thought of the small cage on Mo Xue'er's waist that day, and the wooden lark, could it be that the Mo family's mechanism failed? I guessed in my heart, and I thought it was very possible.
The rest of the weapons have their own characteristics, and the list goes on, and these weapons have different styles, and they seem to have come from the hands of multiple sects.
The main weapons in this Liuyun Pavilion are probably only the tip of the iceberg among the hundreds of princes, and those schools that do not focus on forging weapons, such as Confucianism, Legalism, soldiers, Yin and Yang, Zonghengjia, etc., have further stimulated Chang Yu's infinite reverie and secretly expected.
"Brother Chang, come and take a look!" Zhan Zhi greeted again.
Chang Yu took a closer look and found that there were some colorful pills in a few brocade boxes, and when he looked closely at the bamboo slips, he realized that it was the Taoist elixir of Changshengmen, and the price was also very expensive.
When Chang Yu and the others first entered the Golden Gate, the master of Changliu Hall once gave each person who passed the selection a Huiyang Pill.
Chang Yu was still suspicious of the Taoist Patriarch on Fangxian Island in the East China Sea, but now that he saw the pills sold in the store, he was even more convinced.
In particular, Chang Yu later heard that in addition to the "Eternal Life Gate", Taoism actually has a branch called "Wuji Gate". The whereabouts of Wujimen are mysterious, and he is especially good at swordsmanship and formations, which is very different from the Changshengmen who pursues immortality and is good at asking for pills.
In addition, the exercises on the black scale skin scroll seem to have some connection with Taoism, which makes Chang Yu also very interested in Taoism.
Chang Yu took two more turns in the store, and felt more and more that this Liuyun Pavilion was unfathomable, and it was able to collect so many treasures, not only with huge funds, but also with unspeakable manpower and connections, and it would not be easy to do this if there was no big man or big force behind Liuyun Pavilion.
The things on the first floor are already so precious, I don't know what kind of treasure is placed on the second floor, Chang Yu can't help but look at the stairs leading to the second floor, and the stairs are written with "Only those who carry ten thousand gold can enter" A few eye-catching big characters.
Chang Yu smiled, knowing his family background, and finally stayed on the first floor honestly like everyone else.
After walking around completely and browsing all the treasures in the store, Chang Yu stopped in front of a small shelf in a corner, his eyes shining.
