Chapter 234: Heavenly Kun Sword Scabbard

According to Jiang Jianfei's instructions, Wang Zhaolin walked through the bustling crowd and came to the weapon shop with the four big characters "Tiangong Hut" engraved on the door plaque, he touched his chin, and said in his heart that the name of this shop is awesome, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace, and couldn't wait to see if the boss's skills were worthy of the name.

Standing in the center of the room, the person wearing a cotton coat to strike iron is Xue Shaoling, I saw him pick up the iron to be forged, put it into the furnace to burn, the temperature in the furnace is low, he pulled the bellows, so that it is fully heated, and then transferred to the big iron pier, with a small hammer to forge hard, his technique is extremely skillful, the hard iron in his hand is like mud, until it becomes a shape that satisfies him.

"Is the owner of this shop here?"

The red-hot iron made a "clang" sound in the water, and after the water vapor dissipated, Xue Shaoling raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "There is only the boss lady here, she has something to do today and has not returned." ”

"Oh, then you don't mind if I go in and have a walk!" Wang Zhaolin had just walked to the inner room, and who knew that Xue Shaoling had the idea of the Void Abyss Sword.

"Your sword is so beautiful, how about I buy it from you for 6,000 Belen?"

"I won't discuss selling my treasure with a stinky sword idiot, it's too stupid!" Wang Zhaolin glanced at the saber tied to Xue Shaoling's waist, and thought that this thing was an extraordinary product, and grimaced at the other party with disdain.

As a result, his feet slipped and accidentally hit a man's chest.

That person was Song Zixi, dressed as a cloth merchant, and he handed his iconic red rose to Wang Zhaolin: "This guest, come and pick out a dress! We have all kinds of materials here, cotton, leather, silk, ......."

"No...... No, stay away from me. Wang Zhaolin felt goosebumps all over his body, and before Song Zixi could take off the leather armor from the shelf, he hurriedly ran away.

How do you feel that the staff in this store is a little abnormal, is this a black shop? He was tricked by Jiang Jianfei?

Just as Wang Zhaolin was resting against the wall, Lin Yaoxi came to her eating a sugar gourd, and she pointed to the first row of Lan Qi with the bamboo stick in her hand: "This sword is called Falcon Feng, and it is used to sharpen iron like clay, and it is only sold for 2,000 bellons." ”

Wang Zhaolin breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally met a serious businessman, so he greeted politely: "Uh! ”

Lin Yaoxi ate the second sugar gourd, walked to the second row of Lan Qi, drew the sword out of the sheath, and waved it a few times on the spot: "The best-selling sword in our store - Yao Hui, soft as a long snake, use it to seal the throat with blood, how about selling you 3,500 Belen at a discount?"

"It's too bright, it's too eye-catching to carry on your back. ”

"I think this sword is a good match for you! Do you want to think about it again?" Seeing Wang Zhaolin shaking his head, Lin Yaoxi had no choice but to put the sword back into its sheath and eat the third sugar gourd, "The guest's vision is really high, do you want the most expensive or the best?"

"Actually, I just want to buy a scabbard that fits my sword. ”

"I'm sorry! We don't sell scabbards separately, but if you really want them, you can buy them with your sword, they come in different lengths, and we don't have measuring tools, so you have to choose them carefully. ”

"Ben Shao is a countryman, and frankly speaking, he doesn't know anything about swords. Wang Zhaolin scratched his head in embarrassment and motioned for Lin Yaoxi to make up his mind for him.

"In my opinion, the sword has a spirit, and the more powerful the sword, the stronger the spirit, and sometimes it even picks us out. Lin Yaoxi ate the last sugar gourd and threw the bamboo stick on the ground, "But the scabbard is mainly used to protect the blade, and it is not necessary to look good." ”

"I agree with you, then—this thing must be worth a lot of money when it hangs so high!" Wang Zhaolin pointed to the beam, and found that there was a blue scabbard with the appearance of fish scales on it.

"This item is for display only and is not for sale. Lin Yaoxi's face was embarrassed, "Besides...... Every customer who insisted on buying it came to our store without exception to return it. ”

"Why?"

"Because it is so 'eating' that all blades are in the sheath and not used, they will be 'devoured' by it in more than three days. Lin Yaoxi tried his best to hide the apprehension in his heart, "Anyway, I advise you not to buy it, otherwise any loss caused by the Tiankun scabbard will be borne by the buyer, and we will not compensate." ”

Wang Zhaolin was stunned for a moment, he stared at Lin Yaoxi's bright eyes: "Are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm a joker and I look at the occasion – especially when it comes to consumer interests. Lin Yaoxi shrugged.

Wang Zhaolin pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "At first, I questioned the proverb in Suhua Village: On the day of the anomaly of the celestial phenomena, the magic sword containing the power of nothingness will appear in the world, and everyone killed by it will disappear into invisibility - but the superstitious saying has come true. ”

"So, you have a lot of fate with it, so let's-" Lin Yaoxi cleared her throat, "I'll tell you a story about the origin of the Tiankun scabbard." ”

Dapeng Village is a small seaside village surrounded by mountains on three sides in the north of the Leah continent, because of the closed geographical location, there is little contact with the outside world, the village retains the unique belief formed by the fusion of local folk customs and Tianzhao Religion, one of which is that human beings were born in the ocean, and every year the villagers have to choose a day to soak in the sea water for three days before they can go ashore, called "returning to the sea".

The cause of everything began with the punishment of the law of cause and effect thousands of years ago, and on that day a thousand rays of light fell from the sky, bringing the unsettling beauty into the eyes of the villagers. At first, it was just a shipwreck, an accident, the death of a child, the sorrow of a family, until the number of missing people increased, and it was closely related to everyone.

A sorcerer named Flem believes that the sea monster has been attracted by the arrival of the dawn, and that in the future, the "return to the sea" ceremony must be changed to a sacrifice of a girl every year, otherwise the whole village will not be spared.

Although the village chief strongly opposed the proposal, the villagers decided to give it a try, and the next day, a girl was the first victim, and for the whole year, no one was killed.

Claiming to have made a deal with the sea monsters, Flemu demanded a large sum of money from the villagers to protect the village, thus recruiting a large number of disciples who were responsible for selecting the girls of the right age. After this false peace, no new life was born in any of the families, and six years later, the village chief's daughter became the next sacrifice.

On the day of the ceremony, the whole village gathered on the beach, looked at the boat docked on the beach, and stretched out their hands to point upward, and on the boat sat a girl about six years old, her eyes were dull, and she looked blankly at her father, who was kneeling on the ground and pleading for mercy. Just then, a fisherman squeezed through the crowd and pressed the blade of his sword against the wizard's neck.

"Let the girl go!"

"No way! If she doesn't die, the whole village will suffer. ”

"You have been deceived, the sea monster does not exist!" said the fisherman, pointing to the wizard, "it was a sunny morning, and Joseph and I went out fishing in a sailboat, and we cast our nets out to the surface, and soon we caught all kinds of fish, and there were too many of them to fit, so we had to keep the small fish and release the big fish, but one of the big fish got stuck in the net, and no matter how hard we tried, we could not pull it onto the fishing boat, and its strength was so great that it could drag the whole boat to the dark sea." ”

"And then......" Flem kicked a pile of sand impatiently.

"The fish was at least half the size of our fishing boat, and I thought that was the limit, until the sea around the hull was red with blood, and it appeared—so big that it swallowed the big fish whole in one bite, and dragged the whole boat into the deep sea. "This is the truth of that bizarre shipwreck, and for the past six years I have been practicing martial arts in order to avenge my friend." ”

"What a terrible story, I don't believe it. Flem wiped his crutches with a rag, "A man who escaped by breaking a wooden plank, and still wants to fight against the god of the sea?"

"I'll make a bet with you, if the god in your mouth is just a giant fish, you'll have to get out of Dapeng Village!"

At this point in the story, Lin Yaoxi stopped.

Wang Zhaolin stared at her with a complicated expression, and after a while, he asked, "What happened later?"

Later, Flem agreed to the fisherman's request and let him go out to sea alone in search of the giant fish. ”

"He succeeded?"

Lin Yaoxi nodded and said: "The fisherman and the giant fish fought fiercely for seven days and seven nights before killing it, after the giant fish died, the corpse turned into two ancient relics - the heavenly machine box, the heavenly eagle bottle and a giant fish scale, when the fisherman returned to the village, he almost scared the villagers who were holding a funeral for him to death, he showed the fish scales to everyone, so that Flemu's lie was self-defeating, and under the attack of a stone, the wizard was driven out of the village. ”

"This is really a happy ending!"

"No!" Lin Yaoxi shook his head and said, "The fisherman made a serious mistake, he showed the use of ancient relics in front of people without warning, and made fish scales into a scabbard, which he named - Tiankun Scabbard, but ignored the two disciples who had evil intentions and wanted to be loyal to the wizard. ”

"Hey...... The human heart is unpredictable!"

"One night, the two infiltrated the fisherman's house and tried to steal two ancient relics, but because of the excessive movement, the sleeping fisherman was awakened, and he hurriedly drew his sword to defend himself, and the result——"

"Could it be that the Tiankun scabbard swallowed the blade?"

"Yes, the fisherman was killed, and the two disciples were not found. Lin Yaoxi sighed, "In honor of the fisherman, the villagers named the ocean after him, which is the origin of the Sebino Sea." ”

Wang Zhaolin touched his chin for a while, and said, "My sword may not suffer such a bad fate, so you can sell it to me with confidence." ”

"This gentleman, please think again! This scabbard is very evil, it ......"

Before Lin Yaoxi finished speaking, a wrinkled hand rested on her shoulder: "Since you are so sincere, this scabbard will give you well." ”

"Aunt ......" Before Lin Yaoxi could stop it, the white-haired woman took off the scabbard on the beam and handed it to Wang Zhaolin, "I am the proprietress of our store - Lin Bilang, you can contact me if necessary." ”

"It's still your old man who is refreshing, unlike this 'Kan girl', who talks nonsense and delays this time. Wang Zhaolin took the business card, put the Kongyuan Sword into the Tiankun scabbard, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the store.

"Auntie!" Lin Yaoxi held up her mouth wide in shock, "This is the treasure of this store! Why did you give it to a hillbilly?"

"Don't you see it yet? The Void Abyss Sword in that man's hand—one of the ten most famous swords. ”

"I know, what's the connection?"

"The 'Power of Nothingness' of the Void Sword and the 'Devouring Power' of the Heavenly Kun Scabbard are essentially two similar powers, and I'm looking forward to what will happen when the two forces merge?"

"Hey—your boring 'experimentault' has flares up again. Lin Yaoxi spread his hands and left.

"Where is your senior sister? Find Shao Yan, and soon she will not be your senior sister. Lin Bilang took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair next to him.

"What? You're going to expel her from the school?"

"How is that possible! Don't be cranky, do what I say. Lin Bilang rubbed his forehead, "That's right, your cousin and Xue Shaoling also called over together, and we will have a meeting." ”

Lin Yaoxi let out an "oh" and nodded in agreement, but she couldn't guess what her aunt was going to do.
