Volume 1 Yujing Dark Tide Chapter 18 The Master of Wandering
There was a white jade bottle next to the box, which contained six Qi and Blood Pills, which was one of the monthly cases of last month, and there used to be ten taels of gold every month, but now there are only five taels of silver.
Underneath the box are gold and silver tickets, as well as some scattered gold and silver. They counted 3,000 taels of gold and 100 taels of broken gold, and 8,000 taels of silver and 200 taels of broken silver. These are the mother's dowries and the family funds that have been saved over the years. There is also a crescent lake manor on the shore of the crescent lake outside Yujing City, covering an area of 200 acres. The mother family is a wealthy merchant in the south, although it has been wiped out, but it was very rich before, and these were purchased by the mother with dowry.
One hundred copper plates were folded into one tael of silver, and ten taels of silver were folded into one tael of gold. And two taels of silver can allow a family of three to maintain food and clothing in the imperial capital of Yujing for a month. So it seems that these families don't have a lot of money, but they are very rich. It's just that all this is a little insufficient compared to the consumption of cultivation.
Except for the Crescent Lake Manor, these were worth less than four thousand taels of gold, and there were only forty bottles of Qi and Blood Pill exchanged for martial arts. If it is replaced by the cultivation of the Yun Yuan Pill, it is almost forty bottles, not to mention that the cultivator still needs spirit stones. Ten taels of gold can only be exchanged for a spirit stone, and it is still priceless. Not to mention the magic weapons of cultivating the law and the weapons of cultivating the true yuan of martial arts, these are of even higher value.
If he is still the third young master of Truman who has good talent, all this is provided by Truman. But he's just a waste in the eyes of others now. This title is to be worn at least until you find out who is behind it.
With all the gold and silver on his body, he hung a long sword on his waist and carried a bear skin armor in his hand, and Chu Zheng walked out of the Chu Palace.
The imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Yujingcheng, the name of the city is taken from the legendary white Yujing in the sky, and the Yujing City is also beautiful. The city walls are bronze, the city is paved with jade-colored stone slabs, the streets are lined with pavilions and merchants, and the road is full of pedestrians, even if it is night, there are still many people coming and going.
The north side of Yujing City is the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the east side is centered on Wangfu Street, which is the residence of dignitaries and nobles, and the west side is the living area of the wealthy merchants.
There are two lively places in the quiet West City, one is Fengying Road, which is lined with shops, and the other is Baiyufang. Unlike Fengying Road, which was a place for secular people to trade, Baiyufang, although it occupied an area of one street, was a place where martial artists and Dharma cultivators gathered to trade. And one or two gold paid for entering the White Jade Workshop can keep the vast majority of people out.
Pay a gold yuan Chu Zheng to enter Baiyufang and go straight to Tiangong Hall. Tiangongtang is the royal property of the Great Zhou Dynasty, mainly selling magic weapons.
The attitude of the Great Zhou Dynasty towards the monks was very complicated, that is, to win over and control the monks through various means, but not to suppress them too much. As far as magic weapons and magic weapons are concerned, everyone must register after purchase, which is relatively relaxed, and those ordinary swords need to have a guarantor for the purchase, and they must also be registered and issued a license. Those who were inspected by the soldiers without a permit were confiscated, and in some areas of tension were sent to prison for questioning. It seems to be being vigorously suppressed, but it can be sold publicly, which also shows that the size is difficult to obtain. But all this is dispensable for Chu Zheng, because he is the third young master of the Great Wednesday Gate Valve Chumen Chu Wangfu.
"Guest officer, please come in, is there anything that my Tiangongtang can serve?" Walking into the door of the Tiangongtang store, a delicate woman in a neon dress and feather coat immediately greeted him.
Chu Zheng also came to Tiangongtang for the first time, because his previous weapons were all provided by Chu Sect, and he didn't need to come here, so that the woman didn't know the third young master who was famous in the imperial capital.
"I need to reforge the sword in my hand and inscribe the forbidden. Chu Zheng looked at Tiangongtang as he spoke.
The first floor of Tiangongtang covers a large area, and it is surrounded by swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various weapons, each of which looks like a fine product. However, half of the area in the center of the hall on the first floor is occupied by pavilions with birds and flowers, as well as rockeries and flowing waters, which are very coordinated, and offset the killing atmosphere and cold feeling of weapons.
"Then I will take you to the third floor, your request is customized, and you need to understand your needs thoroughly. The woman leaned sideways slightly and stretched out her hand to signal.
Chu Zheng followed him to the third floor, where the environment was more elegant, without any weapons, but was divided into several private rooms by greenery and vines. On the soft couch near the entrance of the staircase, an old man with a white beard sat silently drinking tea, even the sound of the two walking up the stairs did not make the old man raise his eyelids.
"Build the foundation!" Although the old man's breath was not obvious, with the sensitivity of sitting and forgetting the scriptures, Chu Zheng still instinctively felt the old man's cultivation.
"Master Fan, this guest officer wants to reforge the long sword in his hand and engrave the law forbidden. After the woman finished speaking, she bent down to pour tea for Chu Zheng, Chu Zheng took off the long sword and sat on the soft couch opposite the coffee table, but he was not in a hurry to put the long sword on the coffee table, but picked up the teacup and lowered his eyelids and tasted tea silently.
The woman glanced at Chu Zheng differently, and then bowed slightly and went downstairs.
Master Fan looked at Chu Zheng indifferently, Chu Zheng put the teacup on the coffee table, and then took off the jade plate on his waist and put it on it with the long sword.
"Chu Zheng, the third young master of the Chu Palace!" Master Fan glanced at Chu Zheng in surprise, then sat up straight, and then ...... Distracted!
Chu Zheng was not in a hurry, and tasted tea silently. Tea is a big road goods, but it is an authentic spiritual tea, not only fresh and contains a trace of aura, ordinary people often drink not only to remove all kinds of diseases but also to prolong life. Chu Zheng was thinking about himself in his mind at the moment, the original third young master of the Chu Wangfu didn't drink tea, only drank alcohol, and he originally loved to drink tea. Now my heart is somewhat integrated, with the elegance of tasting tea and the boldness of drinking.
After a while, Master Fan came back to his senses and said, "Thirteen days ago, Chu Zheng, the third young master of the Chu Palace, was executed by Chumen. The six-sided stick that Trumen executes the family law is a magic weapon that has been passed down for thousands of years, even if the innate martial arts cultivation is a hundred, it is gratifying that the third young master who has lost his cultivation can survive. The old man has a reluctant request, I wonder if the third young master can tell the old man about the feelings under the six-sided stick?"
Chu Zheng glanced at the other party and felt that the other party did not mean to mock, and then it became clear that this Master Fan was interested in Truman's hexagonal stick. said: "The hexagonal stick suppresses the qi and blood, and the blood, bones, and skin are frozen when the first stick goes down, and the second stick is like breaking the ice surface, and spreading the freeze throughout the body, but its pressure or destructive force does not act on the percussion site, but travels throughout the body and explodes in another place." ”
"You mean to hit you in the back with a six-edged stick, but it could have been your ribs in the chest or leg bones?"
Chu Zheng nodded slightly, and then Master Fan ...... Distracted again!
"Oh, oh!" Master Fan, who had woken up, finally remembered what he was doing, picked up the long sword and pulled it with his right hand, and his eyes suddenly froze.
"Sixth-grade Fengyang Bronze and Seventh-grade Tianchen Gold!Which bastard made it with these spiritual materials?forged it! Or knocked it with a hammer!" Master Fan was furious at the violent Heavenly Object, and then gently stroked the sword body as if he were caressing a woman's body, and closed his eyes to savor it.
Chu Zheng was very skeptical that Master Fan still remembered that there was a person sitting in front of him, and felt that if he continued like this, Master Fan would also be immersed in it for a day and a half. He said categorically: "Master Fan, I want to reforge this long sword. ”
"Oh, it needs to be reforged. After waking up, Master Fan pondered for a moment and said: "But this is a broadsword, and it is only a broadsword of this style used by soldiers and generals on the battlefield in the past, and now it is not used, all with guns, knives, and hooks. The broadsword is inferior to the heavy sword and machete in terms of power, and inferior to the scribe longsword in terms of lightness and speed. Therefore, if the martial arts cultivator does not use this material enough to make a heavy sword, he can reforge the long sword. Cultivators who reforge into magic swords can still have some spiritual materials left. Speaking of which, this broadsword seems to have been forged for a long time, and who still uses this old-fashioned way of forging now? And Tianchen Gold is not something that can be struck, what kind of hammer is this......"
"Master, let's reforge it into a magic sword style. I need speed, toughness and sharpness, nothing else. ”
"Oh, that's okay. Three feet long and two inches wide, with a slight curvature, does not affect the stabbing and is also conducive to slashing. I'll add some more materials, counting the inscription forbidden, with this spiritual material base is the best magic sword. The rest of the materials will not be given to you, and there is no need for any cost, just pick it up after ten days. What kind of spiritual materials can I add so that I don't spoil these foundations......"
"Okay! Master of Leather Armor changes the style and inscribes the defense law forbidden. Chu Zheng stood up and went downstairs. It was impossible for Master Fan to get up and send him off, he was in a trance.
Chu Zheng left Tiangong Hall and went straight to the Drunken Immortal Tower.
The Drunken Immortal Building is famous among the monks of the imperial capital, and all kinds of dishes are already treasures, but the most famous is the Drunken Immortal Brew. The daily sale of Zuixian wine in the restaurant is limited to 100 pots, but this is to the outside. Six pots and a small altar, ten altars per month for the royal family, three altars per month for the four major gates, and a limit of ten altars per month for other families. These are outside of the 100 pots a day, and only a small number of people know this secret.
Because Chu Zheng had a relatively high cultivation qualification in the past, he had a certain share in the Chu Palace, and he had accumulated a small half of the drunken immortal brew in the drunken immortal building all year round. The reason why it still exists here is because the wine cellar has a peculiarity, and the drunken immortal brew will become invalid after three hours of taking out the wine cellar. The wine glasses for the same drinking, the wine jar for storing wine, and the wine jug are all specially made, and the Drunken Immortal Building is not for sale, and if you want to drink the Drunken Immortal Brew, you must go to the Drunken Immortal Building.
But Chu Zheng didn't come to drink today.
"Third master, you are here, it is really a coincidence that you came, there is a private seat on the third floor. The little two runners in the running hall greeted him with a festive face, which made people feel comfortable when they looked at it.
"No need, I'll be here, bring a pot of wine, four treasures and a plate of peanuts. ”
"Okay...... Wait a minute, sir......"
Xiao Er took the tray and pulled Changyin to serve the food, while Chu Zheng sat there and listened carefully to the discussions of the people around him.
Chu Zheng is a person with a strong sense of purpose, and he doesn't have much leisure time. The reason why I eat here is to hear what I have to say about myself. Whether it is in the past or present life, as long as it is the imperial capital, the topics on the table after tea and dinner are all kinds of anecdotes and current political events. But it seems that he is self-righteous, and the execution of the family law by the third young master of Chumen is no longer a topic of discussion for everyone. Chu Zheng is bedridden, and there has been more explosive news in Yujing City these days......
