Chapter 12, Test the knife Thanks to the jade pendant sent by the big brother in the cup
It is really common for quarrels and disputes in places like Underground Fang City, but the place of this quarrel is relatively close to Luo Tian and them, so it attracted the attention of the two people.
"What kind of broken knife are you selling, and you want me to pay ten taels of silver, why don't you grab it?"
The shouters were short, dark-skinned, spoke with a strong foreign accent, and surrounded a small booth with a group of thugs.
There are several knives of various lengths on the stall, and at first glance the blades are dull, and the handles are only carved from wood, which really do not look like good goods.
The stall owner was a gloomy young man in a shabby robe.
"If you don't buy it, get out. The young stall owner was also very polite.
"Brother Tian, isn't this person afraid of being beaten up so much?" the Seventh Princess asked in a low voice.
Luo Tian smiled and said: "Although the underground market looks chaotic, there are still rules, the first is that you can't buy and sell by force, and the second is that you can't do it in the market, do you see that there are some strong men with swords standing around the market?"
The seventh princess looked around, and soon saw a lot of strong men from other countries, and they didn't seem to be low in cultivation, and several of them had already looked this way.
"Really, what do they do?" asked the Seventh Princess.
"Those who come to the Fang City to do business have to pay rent and apportionment, and they will be protected if they pay the money, once the stall is smashed, the surrounding Fang Market will come up to intervene, and the entire underground Fang Market is organized by the famous big chambers of commerce on the Hidden Dragon Continent, these chambers of commerce are rich and rival the country, and their subordinates have hired masters, and ordinary rich or nobles can't afford to provoke them. Luo Tian replied with a smile.
Sure enough, although the young stall owner spoke impulsively, the foreign dwarf did not dare to make a move.
"Hmph, you still want to do business like this, let's take a look and see the knives he sells. The dwarf raised the short knife he held in his hand and shouted.
"The quality of weapons in the world is uneven, divided into people, kings, immortals, gods, etc., each class is divided into three levels, I Luo Bi has been in business for many years, and I have seen a lot of treasures and famous craftsmen, but I have never seen such a shameless person, the brand is written on the human weapon of the middle level, but everyone look at the knife he forged, it is simply scrap iron!"
"If you don't understand, shut your mouth. The young stall owner said gloomily.
"I don't understand, the knife man, the overlord of weapons, identify a good knife, first look at the knife light, then look at the knife intent, weigh the knife, try the blade, the knife you forged is dull, the knife intent is completely absent, the front is heavy and the back is light, not to mention this blade, a few cuts will be almost curled, and I say I don't understand, it's a joke!"
Although this guy named Luo Bi has an arrogant attitude, he really has some skills, and Luo Tian also nodded slightly after hearing this.
"My knife is different, you can't judge my knife in ordinary ways. The young stall owner still said stiffly.
"Haha, then I'll let everyone take a good look, I have a cold iron war knife brought from the southern snowy region here, from the hands of a famous knife casting master, the knife is a mid-level human weapon, I spent 50,000 taels of silver in order to get this knife, you said that your knife is also a mid-level human weapon, then try it, if my cold iron war knife can cut your knife, it means that you are bragging!"
After Luo Bi finished speaking, he beckoned, and the subordinates behind him lifted out a treasure box, and after opening it, the cold air suddenly overflowed, and one of Luo Bi's subordinates took out a battle knife like ice from the box, and it seemed to drop the temperature around him a few points between swings.
"Do you dare to compare?" Luo Bi asked arrogantly.
"Compare, compare!"
"Didn't you say your knife was powerful? ”
The people around for good things also picked up, and there were more and more onlookers.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the young stall owner suddenly rolled up the stall, shook his head and said, "I don't compare." ”
"Haha, are you afraid, that's admitting bragging. ”
As soon as he saw the young stall owner stunned, the people around him immediately shouted, Luo Bi laughed and said: "It's not me who smashed your signboard, it's you who blew the cowhide yourself, what kind of broken knife dares to become a middle-level treasure weapon, the kid will not brag about this kind of bull in the future, otherwise even the face of the ancestor will be lost." ”
"I'm not afraid of you, but my knives aren't happy, and they don't want to compare with you. The young stall owner muttered in a low voice, looking unconvinced.
"Haha, the knife will be unhappy, you are crazy, where does the knife come from the seven emotions and six desires of dead things, even if it is a king-level treasure, I have never heard of emotions, don't tell me that these broken knives of yours are immortal weapons, even if the entire Hidden Dragon Continent is the most powerful empire, there are not a few immortal weapons. ”
The people around seemed to think that the young stall owner was bragging, and the constant abuse and ridicule hit like snowflakes, and the young stall owner was flushed, but he just refused to admit his mistake.
Luo Tian, who was standing at the back of the crowd, smiled and said to the Seventh Princess: "I was lucky today and I picked up the treasure." ”
When the seventh princess looked puzzled and was about to ask, Luo Tian had already pushed away the person in front of her and walked to the front row, and said, "You dwarf from a foreign country is really blind and ignorant. ”
"Who scolded me?" Luo Bi shouted, turning his head to see Luo Tian with a faint smile on his face.
"You're scolding me?"
"I didn't scold you, I just said that you have no eyes, and you think that it is amazing to have a mid-level cold iron war knife, I don't know that the knife made by this little brother is ten times better than your cold iron war knife. Luo Tian smiled.
The young stall owner looked at Luo Tian, Luo Bi was also stunned, and then laughed and said, "Do you want to stand up for him?"
Luo Tian smiled, took a few steps forward and said, "He doesn't dare to compare, why don't I compare with your cold iron war knife on his behalf." ”
As he spoke, Luo Tianyi pulled out a short knife from the young stall owner's package, this short knife had a pitch-black blade and a dull blade, and it was indeed not a good product at first glance.
"My knife ......" the young stall owner wanted to stop.
Luo Tian ignored him, and said to Luo Bi: "Why don't we make a bet, I will use his knife and your cold iron war knife to test the knife, if this knife is broken, I will lose you a full hundred thousand taels of silver, but if this knife is safe and sound, even if you lose, your cold iron war knife will lose to me, how about it?"
The bet was raised to 100,000 taels at once, and the people around him were shocked.
"One hundred thousand taels, do you stinky boy have so much money?" Luo Bi was overjoyed when he heard this, one hundred thousand taels was also a huge fortune for him.
Luo Tian smiled and took out a silver ticket from his arms, and showed it to everyone present.
"Haha, your brain is not broken, give me 100,000 taels for nothing, since God made me rich today, then I will naturally not be polite, I will bet with you this time, the people present testify, if you dare not give me money if you lose, don't think about leaving the underground market today." ”
There were more and more people watching around, Luo Tian was holding a black short knife with a calm smile on his face, while Luo Bi was staring at the silver ticket in his hand, his eyes were full of greed.
"My knife doesn't like that...... "The young stall owner leaned in to stop Luo Tian.
Luo Tian turned around and said: "I thought that the ancient Tianliu knife casting method was completely lost, but I didn't expect to meet it today, if the legendary sword casting method can't compare to this kind of goods, I will lose 100,000 taels and have the right to buy a loss." ”
"How do you know that I am a descendant of Gu Tianliu?" asked the young stall owner in surprise.
Luo Tian didn't answer, and at this time, Luo Bi's subordinates, a strong man at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, had already walked up with a cold ice knife, put on a posture, and was ready to cut it off with one sword.
Luo Tian raised the inconspicuous black short knife in his hand, the sea of holes on his arm moved quickly, and one after another spiritual energy penetrated into the short knife through the palm of his hand, but he saw that there seemed to be an imperceptible spiritual light flashing on the blade of the short knife.
At this moment, the strong man swung his knife and slashed over, the cold iron war knife carried a cold light, Luo Tian raised the knife with one hand to meet it, and the two knives suddenly flashed.
"Bell!"
After a crisp sound, everyone hurriedly looked at it, and Luo Bi smiled and said, "Haha, bring 100,000 taels." ”
But hearing everyone's exclamations, Luo Tian smiled: "You can see clearly." ”
Hearing this, Luo Bi took a closer look, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace, but he saw that the two knives were unharmed after the collision, Luo Tian raised the black short blade in his hand, and everyone could clearly see that the black short blade was intact, and there was not even a gap.
"This can't be!" Luo Bi shouted in surprise as his face changed.
"Facts speak louder than words, I am willing to gamble and lose, your cold iron sword is mine. As he spoke, Luo Tian took a step forward and reached out to ask for the Cold Iron Battle Knife.
