Chapter 33: The Strange Soldier
I have to say that after crossing into this world, Lu Yunzhou subconsciously compared himself with Xiang Shaolong.
It's just because he was just an ordinary student in his previous life, but Xiang Shaolong was a special soldier of an ace army.
Xiang Shaolong can be thriving in this era, so what about him?
What Lu Yunzhou may not have noticed himself is that he is subconsciously imitating Xiang Shaolong.
For students, cultural classes are his strength, but martial arts is something that Lu Yunzhou is not good at.
Therefore, when Lu Yunzhou gets the opportunity to improve his swordsmanship, he will regard it as a treasure!
"Qingyun, is there any particularly famous blacksmith shop in Linzi?"
Lu Yunzhou practiced his sword at the bottom of the lake for an afternoon, and at this time, he had just taken a bath, changed into a clean robe, and sat in the hall, stroking the wet Flying Star Sword scabbard while asking.
The scabbard of the Flying Star Sword was wooden, which was obviously not suitable for use in water, and Lu Yunzhou wanted to change to a metal scabbard.
In this way, he can usually follow Yang Guo's example, put on the scabbard and fight against people, take the route of heavy sword without edge and great ingenuity, and if he encounters an enemy who cannot be dealt with, let the flying star sword unsheath and show its edge!
In doing so, he needed a heavy, strong, and sturdy scabbard.
"Young master, almost all of the blacksmith industry in our Qi country is in the hands of the Hou family, so if the young master wants to find a famous blacksmith, it is best to go to the blacksmith shop opened by the Hou family to find it."
It's the back family again......
Lu Yunzhou remembered the Houfu Fu Qing he met yesterday, and Qi Xin's "Qi Yu's rival Hou Sheng" mentioned in his mouth, so he asked: "Where is the blacksmith shop of the Hou family?" I'll go out and have a look in a moment. ”
"Young master, it's in the center of Xiaolinzi, it's called Qibing Pavilion."
"Then you call Qi Xin, and we'll go now."
"Isn't the young master having dinner at home?"
"No, it's rare to have a holiday, the young master is going to find Linzi's flavor snacks!"
"Yes, young master." Qingyun smiled softly, "Then Qingyun will tie the young master's hair first." ”
…
…
Small Linzi is the most prosperous area in the center of Linzi City, and in the center of small Linzi, there is a well-known blacksmith shop - Qibing Pavilion.
Lu Yunzhou stood in front of the Strange Soldier Pavilion, looked at the two-story building in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to walk inside with the Flying Star Sword.
Qi Xin hurriedly followed on the side, and said in pieces: "Young Master, what's wrong with you today?" You never came to the blacksmith shop owned by Hou Gongzi's family to buy anything before. ”
"Is my relationship with that Hou Sheng so bad?" Lu Yunzhou walked up the steps and couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.
I don't know why, the name Hou Sheng, Lu Yunzhou always felt that he had seen it in his previous life......
Could it be a historical celebrity?
The latter surname is not common, but Lu Yunzhou really can't remember it for a while......
Maybe it's just a little impression that I accidentally saw in my previous life......
"Poor, very bad!" Qi Xin's eyes widened, "Young Master, have you really forgotten?" ”
"Forget, the young master has a poor memory...... Lu Yunzhou had to turn on the self-hacking mode again in order to deal with the cute Qi Xin......
The hall on the first floor of the Strange Soldier Pavilion is very spacious, and the shelves placed around it are all kinds of weapons, and many weapons Lu Yunzhou can't even name them.
But the most is the sword, the sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, it is the most popular weapon in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in this era, even scholars who do not practice martial arts have the habit of wearing swords.
Of course, where there is a sword, there must be a scabbard, and Lu Yunzhou compared the iron or bronze scabbard about the same size as the scabbard of the Flying Star Sword in the scabbard on the shelf.
There are a lot of people who choose weapons in the hall on the first floor, most of them are ordinary swordsmen, Lu Yunzhou is dressed in gorgeous clothes like this, and as soon as the person who looks like a noble son comes in, the waiter in the hall on the first floor is brightened and greeted him.
"This son, what do you need?"
Lu Yunzhou was about to answer, but a voice suddenly came from behind him-
"Yo, rare guest, I didn't expect that Qi Gongzi would actually come to my store."
Lu Yunzhou looked back and saw that on the stairs on the second floor, a tall young man wearing a wide robe and big sleeves stopped on the stairs, looking at Lu Yunzhou condescendingly, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.
This young man is about twenty years old, tall and slender, with a broad forehead, narrow eyes, and a gloomy gaze in his eyes.
Lu Yunzhou didn't think it was angry, as if he couldn't hear the ridicule in the mouth of this young man who suddenly appeared, but smiled slightly, and said, "Hou Gongzi, don't you entertain?" ”
As soon as Lu Yunzhou saw the young man's iconic big nose, Qi Yu's memory suddenly came to mind, and Lu Yunzhou knew that he was Hou Sheng.
Hou Sheng walked down the stairs step by step, spread his hands, and made a welcoming gesture, but the irony in his eyes did not diminish, and said with a smile: "There is business sent to the door, naturally it is to sweep the couch to greet you, I don't know what Qi Gongzi needs?" After saying that, he waved his hand and waved away the waiter who was standing beside Lu Yunzhou with a blank expression.
Lu Yunzhou naturally didn't understand what politeness was, took out the Flying Star Sword, and said: "I want to customize a scabbard, iron or bronze, the requirement is to be heavy, the heavier the better, and it must be strong!" If there's meteorite, that's the best. How, is it possible? ”
Hou Sheng didn't answer, but took the Flying Star Sword in Lu Yunzhou's hand, opened the scabbard, and a cold light suddenly poured out, making Hou Sheng squint his eyes violently, and when the Flying Star Sword was all unsheathed, Hou Sheng adjusted the angle, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help sneering: "Sure enough, it's your Qi Yu's style, what a beautiful sword!" ”
Lu Yunzhou didn't argue, he didn't need to justify the name of the Flying Star Sword, because one day, the Flying Star Sword itself would prove everything, making the enemy fearful and famous.
"How? Is this scabbard done? ”
Hou Sheng seemed to have heard a joke, and after handing back the Flying Star Sword to Lu Yunzhou, he opened his hand, his wide sleeves hung down, and said proudly: "In the entire Linzi and even the entire Qi country, if there is a scabbard that my Hou family can't make, no blacksmith shop can make it!" ”
Lu Yunzhou nodded with a smile and said, "This is very good, then this scabbard will be handed over to you to build, I hope the Strange Soldier Pavilion can live up to expectations!" But he said in his heart: Is this the Warring States version of Hou Aotian?
Hou Sheng glanced at Lu Yunzhou and said, "Are you sure, the heavier, the better?" We can't be blamed for the weight that won't be able to lift it then. ”
Lu Yunzhou said with a smile: "The heavier, the better, but not only heavy, but also strong, so that it can not be cut by a sharp blade, when inspecting the goods, if the scabbard is not strong, I don't want it!" ”
Lu Yunzhou smiled in his heart, when he met such a Hou Aotian, it was too simple to want a good scabbard, as long as he was provoked!
Hou Sheng was really overwhelmed, and immediately glared: "This is nature!" His eyes rolled, but he changed his words: "However, to achieve the best effect, there is still a problem--"
Lu Yunzhou shrugged and waited for him to continue.
"The scabbard that Qi Gongzi wants, it must be heavy and strong, except that it does not need to be sharp, this is basically the same as the requirements of a sword, so meteorite is indeed the best material, but--" Hou Sheng raised his eyebrows and said with a mocking smile: "We don't have meteorite here, I do know that there is a person in Linzi who has more than one piece of meteorite, if Qi Yu you have enough face and can ask him for a piece, we can immediately start building the scabbard you need!" ”
Lu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then who is it?" ”
The sly light in Hou Sheng's eyes flashed, and he spit out two words cleanly--
"Zou Yan!"
Zou Yan?
Lu Yunzhou's heart moved, thinking of the Yi Mountain he saw from a distance in Jixia yesterday, and the stargazing platform on the mountain, and couldn't help but look forward to it.
Zou Yan is a true master of this era, who can understand the will of heaven and predict the future, but I wonder if Zou Yan can see the variables he may bring to the world?
Lu Yunzhou said happily: "Okay, I'll get the meteorite myself, and the last question, if I want to build this meteorite scabbard, how long will it take?" ”
Hou Sheng said without hesitation: "Your requirements are not low, so one month is the least!" ”
One month......
Lu Yunzhou frowned and said, "I need it recently, so let's do it, you can match me with a similar scabbard first, and then slowly build that scabbard for me!" ”
"No problem." Hou Sheng seemed to be very talkative, and he agreed to come down, called the waiter on the side, and gave a few orders, and the waiter went upstairs to get a scabbard.
The scabbard of this sword is iron, the style is ordinary, but it is quite heavy to start, Lu Yunzhou inserted the Flying Star Sword, the size was just right, he couldn't help but be very satisfied, and he had a little more confidence in the craftsmanship of the Strange Soldier Pavilion.
"By the way, I still have to customize some parts, do you have a pen here, I'll draw it for you!"
…
…
After Lu Yunzhou paid the deposit, he left the Qibing Pavilion with Qi Xin.
In the hall on the first floor, Hou Sheng looked at the thin silk in his hand, on which were drawn a long stick, two short sticks, the ends of the sticks were painted with spiral lines, and many concentric circles of different sizes, and other things that made him even more incomprehensible, there were tall shelves, arched iron plates, square iron plates with holes......
"What kind of medicine is sold in Qi Yu's gourd? What are these things? ”
Hou Sheng was puzzled, and he couldn't wait to immediately pinch Lu Yunzhou's neck and ask what these were?
"Hmph, that kid will never tell me, and will laugh at me for being lonely!" Hou Sheng hated it so much that his teeth itched.
"Could it be some kind of strange gate? Or siege engines? Damn, Qi Yu, that guy who doesn't learn and knows how to pick up girls can't understand these things! Hou Sheng reluctantly glared at the thin silk in his hand, thinking nonsense in his head.
Of course, Lu Yunzhou wouldn't know that Hou Sheng was giving full play to his imagination to interpret the fitness equipment he was going to customize--
That's right, Lu Yunzhou wants to customize a batch of modern fitness equipment, put it at home, and exercise all parts of the body in an all-round way.
