At dusk, Jiang Mubai left the practice room, took a taxi to Xu Qiansuan's residence, and invited him to go shopping.

For swordsmen, the long sword in their hands is not only a weapon, but also a symbol of status, sword learners buy swords, just like businessmen in the past to buy a car, not only to consider practicality, but also to consider appearance, cost performance and later maintenance.

It is said that Jiang Mubai came to the door, and the Sword Washing Pavilion would not rip off customers, after all, the original owner had worked in the Sword Washing Pavilion, and the Linghu master was empty-handed apprenticeship banquet, no matter how ignorant the people below were, they would not do anything that would obviously disgrace the leader.

But Jiang Mubai doesn't understand the market, and he doesn't understand all kinds of ways and things here, so he asked Xu Qiansuan to be a staff officer.

Xu Qiansuan lives in Baihe District, not too far from Xijian Pavilion, and walks for a quarter of an hour to reach his destination.

The architectural design style of Xijian Pavilion is very distinctive, and the overall structure is divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower.

The top layer is a special-shaped metal pavilion, the pavilion body is begonia-shaped, and the top of the treasure in the center of the main ridge is a glazed long sword.

In the middle is a huge disk, like a mini square, blue and red cover the surface of the disk, forming a yin and yang double fish.

The lowest level is the sword shop, which is wide in the middle and narrow on the sides, and the exterior walls are painted with bright silver reflective paint.

From a distance, the entire Sword Washing Pavilion branch is like a sword half-inserted into the ground, the Begonia Pavilion is the sword stem, the blue and red disc is the sword boring, and the sword shop under the disc is half of the sword body.

Jiang Mubai looked at it for a moment, nodded and said, "The architectural design is ingenious and interesting to watch." ”

"It's not just fun, all the Sword Washing Pavilion branches have the same design, this Sword Pavilion is very exquisite."

Xu Qiansuan opened the folding fan made of ivory, tortoiseshell, and tough paper, and said in a coquettish manner: "Chu Yanshen, the master of the Washing Sword Pavilion, was called 'Begonia Fairy' in her early years, and when she was promoted to the fifth realm, she caused a vision of heaven and earth, and made the begonias bloom all over the city, so it was named 'Begonia Sword Sect', so the top of the Washing Sword Pavilion was the Begonia Pavilion. ”

"The treasure top on the pavilion, oh, it is the glazed sword on the pavilion, it is the sub-sword of Chu Yanshen's sword 'purple glass', it is said that the mother sword 'purple glass' is a low-grade divine soldier, and hundreds of sub-swords are high-grade, medium-grade, or low-grade spiritual soldiers, but unlike ordinary spiritual soldiers, these sub-swords have a trace of Chu Yanshen's divine thoughts, and they can be mobilized thousands of miles away, so even if the branch of the Sword Washing Pavilion is thousands of miles away from the Tianjing headquarters, local forces do not dare to provoke. Let's not talk about whether the anger of the half-step immortal can withstand it, as long as the head of the branch calls the headquarters, the glass sword on the Begonia Pavilion will fly out and behead people. ”

"The blue and red disc in the middle is the Taiji diagram, not the widely circulated Pisces Taiji diagram, but the Ming Dynasty scholar Lai Zhide to draw the Lai's Taiji diagram, Chen Xin, the eighth generation of Chen's Taijiquan, quoted a lot of Lai's Taijiquan in the "Chen's Taijiquan Diagram", saying 'white, yangyi, black, yinyi. Black and white, the anode produces yin, the cathode produces yang, and its qi has not tasted the breath, that is, Tai Chi. ’”

It means that the black and white two-way yin and yang spiral makes the qi machine entangled, and the middle circle is the Tai Chi body, which is the essence of the ancient martial arts Tai Chi winding silk strength, and the Begonia Pavilion of the Sword Washing Pavilion is located in the center of the disc, which is actually the position of the Tai Chi body. Oh, by the way, our Taiji Sword Sect Zhu Shouyi in Jizhou is the little junior disciple of Chu Yanshen of the Begonia Sword Sect. ”

After listening to this explanation, when he looked at the Sword Washing Pavilion again, Jiang Mubai had a completely different feeling.

"Brother Jiang, how do you feel?" Xu Qiansuan asked.

Jiang Mubai was silent for a long time, and asked without answering: "Have you considered becoming a tour guide?" ”

"No, no, no." Xu Qiansuan shook his head and took out a small blue notebook, "I'm a traveler." ”

During this time, he had several contacts with Xu Qiansuan, and he was familiar with it, so Jiang Mubai joked: "You can say that a sword-selling place is so fresh and refined, Brother Xu, it's a pity that you are not a tour guide." ”

Xu Qiansuan put away the folding fan and frowned: "Over the years, there have been demon calamities, and there have been disciples of the Sword Washing Pavilion who went to the front line to fight against demons and kill the enemy. Brother Jiang, please take back your words. ”

Jiang Mubai was in awe, and said with a straight face: "It's me who lost my words, I'm sorry." ”

After speaking, Jiang Mubai was a little embarrassed, when he was a child, he had to rely on his sharp teeth and sharp mouth to complain everywhere to protect himself from being bullied, but now that he has lived a handful of years, he still occasionally makes this mistake, which really shouldn't be.

"I don't care, I'm afraid that Master Linghu will hear about it and cut us both with a sword." Xu Qiansuan grinned, "Before you go in, tell me about your budget?" ”

"Three hundred thousand." Jiang Mubai reported the numbers that had already been calculated.

Cashing in the various gifts received at the apprenticeship banquet, plus the red envelope gifts, Jiang Mubai received nearly 600,000 yuan, and the master meant that this money was used by him to buy weapons.

600,000 can buy a medium-grade treasure soldier-level long sword in the Sword Washing Pavilion, but Jiang Mubai feels that he doesn't need to buy his first sword so well.

Just as a new car will inevitably bump and bump on the road, weapons will inevitably wear out when used in practice and combat, and after wear, it is difficult to repair as before.

Instead of using 600,000 yuan to buy a medium-grade treasure soldier, it is better to take out 300,000 yuan as the start-up capital of a fast food restaurant, and then use the remaining 300,000 yuan to buy a low-grade treasure soldier, or a few high-grade mortal soldiers.

Xu Qiansuan nodded and gave Jiang Mubai a look.

Jiang Mubai understood the meaning of this look: Don't worry, look at me.

Entering the Washing Sword Pavilion, Xu Qiansuan handed a cold smile to the oncoming shopping guide, refused to be ten steps away, and then walked straight to the VIP channel.

Jiang Mubai followed him and watched as he walked, feasting his eyes.

All kinds of swords are displayed in armory racks and glass cases like works of art, such as long swords, short swords, broad swords, heavy swords, soft swords, square swords, serpentine swords, serrated swords, and ......

This is not so much a kendo shop as it is a kendo museum.

After passing the sword shop hall, Xu Qiansuan pushed open a secret door and walked down the stairs behind the door into the basement.

Only then did Jiang Mubai know that it turned out that the Sword Washing Pavilion really had the other half of the "sword body" inserted into the ground.

After walking down the stairs, Xu Qiansuan pointed to the sword test platform twenty meters in front of him, and explained softly: "It is all things that coax laymen to spend money, the appearance is exquisite, but it is not practical, my saber was bought on it, and it is just a decoration." The following swords are the swords that kill. ”

The shopping guide in the basement was much older than the shopping guide in the hall, he was originally expressionless, but after seeing Jiang Mubai's face clearly through the light, he was surprised: "Little Jiang? ”

"Hmm." Jiang Mubai squeezed out a hint of an embarrassed and polite smile.

The shopping guide recognized him, but he didn't know who the shopping guide's surname was.

"You know?" Xu Qiansuan was also surprised.

"Recognize. But today we will only talk about business, not the past. Jiang Mubai hurriedly said, then turned his head to look at the guide, and said, "I am used to using long swords, please make some recommendations first?" ”

The shopping guide looked complicated, first bowed his hand to Jiang Mubai, said congratulations, and then pinched the sword finger with his right hand and pointed to the sword test platform.

"Please!"
