Chapter 17 Biancheng Xuancheng

On the door panel, there is a half-old flag with two big characters "Shangguan" written on it, and there is a small character at the end of the flag, which is the same as the sign "Xuan" character of other shops on the street.

I asked curiously, "Why does your Shangguan family's flag also have a "Xuan" character mark on it?"

Shadow Katsu didn't explain, motioned for me to walk in, and said as he went, "You'll know in a moment." ”

A rough man who looked like a blacksmith sat by the fire, flipping through a book in his hand, reading with relish. I looked at the cover and it said "Three Flowers Gather at the Top". I've read this book, but it doesn't tell any story, and it's of little use to me. The man raised his head when he heard the voice, and as soon as he saw Ying Sheng, he put down the book, stood up, was slightly embarrassed, and sneered: "Why does the young master have time to come here today?"

Ying Sheng replied: "You don't have to greet me, I'm just bringing a friend over to have a look today." Open the door for me. ”

The shop was small, and I looked around, but I didn't see any other doors. The man looked at me a few times, and there seemed to be doubt in his eyes, probably because the young master was also there, and he didn't ask more.

He hesitated slightly, turned and walked inside, and opened the curtain. There was a counter behind the curtain, and the counter was empty. There is a carpet on one side of the counter. Lifting the carpet, he reached out and pressed an invisible button on the counter handle, and with the sound of a mechanism activating, two inconspicuous floor tiles opened, revealing a cellar-like underground entrance.

At the entrance, you can see several neat steps. Kagekatsu took the fire fold from the counter and walked down first. Faintly seeing him take a few steps inside, and before he saw a light underground, Shadow Sheng waved his hand and motioned for me to go down.

It was a little dark underground, and Shadow Katsu held out his hand, and I hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to grab his arm.

After going down, I only heard the sound of the head of the machine closing, there were some crazy people, the ground was a little cold, there were candles on both sides, and I went down the stairs, as if I had entered an unknown cave. Shadow Katsu walked ahead and continued to go deeper, finally seeing a hut. It's a hut, but it's more like a tin box. Kagekatsu opened the hut mechanism and walked inside.

I followed in his footsteps and found that the hut could probably only fit a few people. I entered the hut, and Kagekatsu continued to activate the mechanism. I felt that the tin hut seemed to shake for a moment, and then it began to fall continuously.

After a few seconds, the Tin Huts shook again and stopped falling.

Shadow Sheng pressed the mechanism and gently pushed open the door of the hut, and a bright light shone obliquely.

I let go of the hand that had grasped Kagekatsu's arm, walked out of the tin hut, and walked all the way into the inner hall, which I found to be equipped with various blades. Swords, bows, blades, spears, rings, and a few other sharp weapons of unknown kind. Countless, it turns out that the real arsenal of the Shangguan family is here.

I asked curiously, "I thought you were going to take me underground, why are we back on the surface?"

Shadow Sheng stepped out of the house first and said, "We're under the ground now. Biancheng is divided into two cities: above ground and underground. Under the ground, the bright light you see, even the sun and the sky in the sky, are actually refracted and reflected on the ground in some way. But here, in fact, is the real Biancheng. As for why you asked me why the shop of the Shangguan family has a mark with the character Xuan, it is because all the weapons of the Shangguan family are produced from here, and this city was built by Gongzi Xuan. Therefore, the city under the earth is also called the city of Xuan. As for how Xuan Gongzi built such a city, it is unknown, in fact, this underground city is more like it appeared out of thin air. ”

I thought for a moment and asked, "How can you say that there is no reason why no one knows about the construction of such a huge building?"

Ying Sheng's face was full of admiration: "That's why I admire this young man so much." All the families in Biancheng who have business ties with the Xuan family can have a place in Xuancheng. How and when was the city built, almost no one knows, the appearance of the city has been ten years, and the young man is only in his twenties now, even if the young man started to build the city at the age of three, a city of this size, if it is manpower, it is unimaginable that it can be built in less than ten years, plus there are many unexplained things, for example, it is clear that it is underground, but it can see the existence of various phenomena such as the sky, unless the young man himself says it, otherwise, this secret will probably always be a mystery. ”

After more than ten minutes, I finally saw Yingqiu, gray-faced, with undried sweat on his forehead. She was very happy to see me, and mysteriously handed me a small object and asked me if it looked good.

It was a very delicate dagger, and the silver-white blade reflected the sun's brilliance with a dazzling brilliance, which made those who saw it fascinated by its beauty, as charming as death itself. The handle of the knife is inlaid with an amethyst. I've seen this gem, and it should be the same as the gem on Shadowfall's twin thorns.

Shadow Autumn's eyes shone with a strange glow, and her cheeks flushed. Staring at me expectantly.

I quipped, "Good looking is good-looking, but the workmanship is a little worse." ”

Sure enough, after Ying Qiu heard this, he suddenly froze, his face was lost, and he sighed: "Alas, then he definitely won't like it." With that, he casually threw the dagger that had been a treasure a few seconds ago on the table, and turned his head in disgust so disgusted that he didn't even want to take another look.

"It turned out to be a gift~" I picked up the dagger and continued: "Of course, the gift is based on the heart, this dagger looks like you made it yourself, this is its most precious place." Moreover, I don't know anything about weapons, what I just said was to tease you, you don't have to take it to heart. ”

I looked at Ying Qiu's slightly messy hair and said, "Since you showed it to me, it means that it must have passed the test of the blacksmith who taught you." Even if you don't believe me, you should believe your master's vision, or take it and show it to your brother?"

"I said, this is the most satisfying thing for me. Ying Qiu muttered, the loss on his face faded, and he picked up the dagger again: "But this can't be shown to my eldest brother, he is a fool, and he will definitely ask questions when the time comes." ”

I replied casually: "If you give it to a boy, it doesn't hurt to give it to Yingsheng, after all...... He's also a man, but if you show it to me, can you still give this dagger to a girl?"

As soon as I finished speaking, Shadow Autumn's face was stained with a touch of red.
