Chapter 387: The Wuxuan Phantom Stone
This is Zhong Mengxi's own story.
Yu Xia saw that she didn't mean to explain, and only shook her hand.
"Seventeen is not too late. It's not that the bird that flies first can enter the forest early, there is a word called 'big instrument late bloomer', you look at Brother Cheng, I believe that sooner or later he will become a great caster. ”
Cheng Buchi raised his head and smiled when he heard this, and did not express his disagreement with Yu Xia's words.
Maybe he was confused, but after seeing Chen Daoren's dry tobacco pouch today, he firmly believes that the path of "immodesty" is not wrong.
Isn't his master, who eventually became the Great Forger, the best proof of this?
"Thank you for your trust, I'll do my best."
Finally, after the drawings were finalized, Cheng Bu Chi listed a detailed list of materials.
"Bronze, fine iron...... These are quite common, but what are yellow silver and black stone? ”
Yu Xia was a little dumbfounded when he saw the list.
"I've been talking for a long time, I'm thirsty." As soon as Yu Xia wanted to ask carefully, he heard Chen Daoren leaning on the table and saying with his nostrils facing the sky.
Yu Xia immediately stood up, bent down and respectfully made a cup of tea for Chen Daoren, and then handed it to Chen Daoren with the teacup in both hands.
"Master, please."
Chen Daoren took the tea triumphantly and took a sip, then stroked his beard and shook his head.
"Yellow silver out of Shu, the color is no different from gold, for the weapon to ward off evil, ghosts and gods are afraid of it. This is a very suitable material for casting tools for the Xuanshi, and the cast tools can overcome demons and evils, and the ghosts and gods dare not approach them easily. ”
"That's a good thing." Yu Xia nodded and pondered, "But this yellow silver should be very precious." ”
"That's natural, there are very few yellow silver, and the people in the Xuanmen who can afford to use the magic weapon with yellow silver in it are all characters with heads and faces, and ordinary people really can't get them."
"That's ......," Yu Xia looked pityful, "Then I can't afford to use such a magic weapon." ”
Chen Daoren glanced at Yu Xia and pretended to say, "Yes, ordinary people can't afford to use it, but it's just such a coincidence, I just have such a small piece of the old way." ”
"Then Master, what do you mean......" Yu Xia smiled and clapped his arm next to Chen Daoren.
"This is like the words, I am a lot of years old and toss with you little rabbit cub every day, and I have never seen you so sensible."
Yu Xia knew that what Chen Daoren said before that there was no need to worry about the casting materials was indeed serious, no matter how rare yellow silver was, it was not a problem for Chen Daoren.
"And what is this black stone?"
"The black stone, also known as the 'phantom stone', has the ability to change. The key to turning the bracelet into a fist on this drawing is also the black stone, if there is no black stone, it can also be deformed, but it may be relatively slow, so it is easy to fall behind in the battle. ”
Cheng Buchi pointed to the drawings and explained.
Yu Xia nodded, and then blinked his eyes and looked directly at Chen Daoren.
Chen Daoren was holding a teacup and drinking tea slowly, but she couldn't drink the tea even if she kept staring at it like this.
"Go, go, you really be the master, I am a treasure chest, what do you want? If the black stone is so good, then the magic weapon of the Xuanshi in the whole world can be used as a disguise. Otherwise, why do you think the umbrella of that stinky boy of the Baili family is so rare? Apart from him, have you ever seen anyone else use a magic weapon that can transform? ”
Chen Daoren put the teacup on the table heavily, and he didn't have a good air.
"Baili Gongzi's umbrella was cast by the previous head of the Sun family." Cheng is not late.
"Shangsun's house?"
Cheng Buchi nodded, "In the fine iron mine of the Shangsun family, in addition to fine iron and mucuna, black stone is also produced. ”
It is no wonder that Cheng Buchi will write the black stone in the casting list, on the one hand, it is really needed, and on the other hand, he has long had some understanding of the origin of the black stone.
"Shangsun's fine iron mine does produce black stone, but the quantity is very small, and it is not easy to mine in the core part of the mine. Otherwise, why is there no second deformable artifact besides that umbrella? ”
Chen Daoren said and glanced at Yu Xia again, "Don't look at me, although the face of the old Taoist is useful, but it is not enough to let Shangsun Jiabai give Wu Xuanshi." The black stone, the grandson's family hid it tightly, but he was reluctant to cheap outsiders at all. ”
Yu Xia held her cheeks and rolled her eyes, "Master, tomorrow there will be an apprenticeship ceremony in the Sun family, and when the time comes, the Sun family will be busy up and down, and I don't have time to take care of other things." ”
Chen Daoren's eyes widened, "What do you want to do?" Just go and steal? ”
Yu Xia smiled, "Master, I heard something interesting from the people next to me during the Casting Conference before. ”
"People say that the refined iron ore of the Shangsun family is not theirs, but belongs to a wealthy local family. If you can do the iron ore business, that's a big deal. It's just that the rich family is just an ordinary person who has not cultivated himself, and he treats refined iron as ordinary iron, and he loses a lot of money in mining, and some of them are tyrannical. ”
"Shangsun's family wanted to buy the iron mine, but the rich family didn't look down on the money and didn't want to agree. In the end, the refined iron ore was obtained by the Shangsun family, and the rich family's family is said to have fallen from then on, and it was difficult to move an inch in Junnan County, and finally had to move to another place to live. ”
"Master, although the Shangsun family is a caster, they misbehave, and they harm ordinary people like this for some interests, and they have long broken the rules of Xuanmen. This refined iron ore is considered ill-gotten gains, so it is not a big deal for us to quietly take a little bit from there, right? ”
"What Natsu said is true." Zhong Mengxi said, "Our Zhong family has always had contacts with the Sun family, and we also know a thing or two about these past events. At the beginning, Daoyuantang had come forward because of this incident, but in the end, he only let the second grandfather of the Shangsun family, Shangsun, come forward to confess, and was abolished and repaired to be tortured by the water prison, and finally became a wasted person. ”
"You mean, the Shangsun family pushed Shangsun out as a scapegoat, and there was no punishment other than that, and even the refined iron mine was still occupied and mined by them?" Yu Xia understood the meaning of Zhong Mengxi's words.
Zhong Mengxi nodded, "The Shangsun family is the first caster of the Xuanmen, and they have a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes, and even Daoyuantang has to sell them a face." The grandson who became a waste man is the younger brother of the current head of the Shangsun family, and he is still living in the Shangsun family, and he has pity for his children. ”
Zhong Mengxi's last few words made Yu Xia a little surprised, "That grandson sacrificed himself to save the entire family, why didn't the grandson family take care of his children because of this matter?" ”
"Hmph, just go to Sun Ya's dog thing, can you expect him to do this good thing?" Chen Daoren sneered, "At the beginning, his younger brother's talent was much higher than him, even if Shangsun was the eldest son, there were still many people in Shangsun's family who were more inclined to Shangsun. The grandson was finally abolished, and he also became the head of the family, how could he let his younger brother's children have a chance to turn over? ”
