Volume 1 Seven Grade Taoist Priests Chapter 126 People are not as good as they used to be
Qi Xuansu knew that the price on the black market would be more expensive, but he didn't expect Tianji Hall to be so cheap, a brand-new "Shenlong Handcuff" and eighty percent of the new second-hand "Shenlong Handcuff" on the black market are the same price, but only the four products of the wine Taoist can directly buy the "Shenlong Handcuff" in Tianji Hall, this is the benefit that only high-grade Taoists can enjoy.
Zhang Yuelu glanced at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly.
Then Zhang Yuelu said to the Taoist priest again: "It's okay, that's it, is there still a projectile?" ”
The Taoist priest looked embarrassed: "The mage should know that our Daomen does not control the fire gun, but controls the projectiles, the phoenix eye series and the dragon eye series, all of which must be approved by Tiangang Hall." ”
This is also the concept of Tianji Hall, the fire gun is still second, the key is the projectile that shoots out, which is very different from the Western Continent's emphasis on the fire gun itself.
Zhang Yuelu took out his deputy hall master token.
The Taoist priest was shocked: "It turned out to be Deputy Hall Master Zhang of Tiangang Hall, please wait a while, I will go and ask the Lord to come over." ”
After a while, the local chief hurried over, and after greeting Zhang Yuelu, he asked, "I don't know what projectile Deputy Hall Master Zhang wants?" ”
Zhang Yuelu asked rhetorically, "What do you have?" ”
The director said: "The dragon eye and phoenix eye series, above the word A, we don't have it, we can only go to the main hall." In addition, 'Dragon Eye Yiyi' and 'Phoenix Eye Yiyi' are out of stock, and they are also non-available. ”
Zhang Yuelu thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, then it will take ten rounds of 'Dragon Eye B Two', twenty rounds of 'Dragon Eye B Three', and five 'Phoenix Eye B Three'." ”
The principal said: "The price of 'Dragon Eye B2' is 10 yuan per shot, and 10 rounds is 100 yuan of Taiping money; the price of 'Dragon Eye B3' is 7 yuan of Taiping money and 500 yuan of Ruyi money per shot, and 20 rounds is 150 yuan of Taiping money; the price of 'Phoenix Eye B 3' is 8 yuan of Taiping money each, and 5 is 40 yuan of Taiping money, a total of 290 yuan of Taiping money, and if you add the 600 yuan of Taiping money of the 'Divine Dragon Handcuff', a total of 890 yuan of Taiping money." ”
Qi Xuansu was still lamenting the cheapness of the "Shenlong Handcuff" just now, and now he knows where the big head is, in the past, he used to directly use the projectiles issued by Tiangangtang, and he didn't think it was how, but now he went to buy it directly, and only then did he know how to write the word "expensive", and in the blink of an eye, half of the "Shenlong Handcuff" had been spent.
Zhang Yuelu said again: "Let's make up a whole number, there are ten yuan of Taiping money left, with some ordinary projectiles, mainly to break armor." ”
The principal nodded in response.
After a while, the Taoist priest was already ready, and put all kinds of projectiles on the table: "Ten rounds of 'Dragon Eye B 2', twenty rounds of 'Dragon Eye B 3', five 'Phoenix Eye B 3', and thirty rounds of ordinary armor-piercing projectiles, with an armpit leather pouch, which can be used to hold ammunition, please count it among Deputy Hall Master Zhang." ”
All the projectiles are packed in a delicate black lacquered wooden box, and the wooden box has the pattern of Tianjitang, and the names of various projectiles are also indicated, which are classified and neatly arranged.
Zhang Yuelu didn't move, and Qi Xuansu took the initiative to step forward.
Thanks to Zhang Yuelu's blessing, he had already used these projectiles early, and he knew it, opened the wooden box, and checked it very skillfully.
In the earliest days, the shells of artillery and the projectiles of firecrackers were all spherical, similar to sword balls, hence the name "projectile". However, with the development of firearms, especially the emergence of rifling, the projectile should be closely combined with the rifling, and the diameter will be slightly larger than the barrel, resulting in difficulty in loading, and even the projectile must be knocked into the barrel with a through strip, and the loading speed is very slow, so the projectile gradually evolved into a cylindrical shape with a pointed tip, but the name of "projectile" is still left.
The shape of all the projectiles is the same, but the difference is that the talisman carvings on the "Dragon's Eye B2" and "Dragon's Eye B3" are more complex, and the gunpowder inside is also different. At the bottom, they are inscribed with "B 2" and "B 3" respectively.
After Qi Xuansu checked that it was correct, he counted out nine brand-new large tickets that still had the fragrance of ink and handed them to the principal.
The director took the official ticket, and secretly wondered about the relationship between the two, although this person was dressed well and made generous shots, but the real children of the family must have Sumeru. Could it be that this Master Zhang has raised a little white face?
Qi Xuansu put away all the things, and roughly estimated his savings in his heart, if it was not a fraction, he originally had two hundred yuan of savings, plus the remaining two hundred Taiping dollars from buying guns, that is, four hundred Taiping dollars. However, he still has the settling-in allowance that Tiangangtang has not yet paid, and the monthly subsidy of the Qingping Society has not been received, and even after returning to Yujing, he can be promoted to the six-grade preparatory sacrificial wine, enjoy the treatment of the five-grade alternate sacrificial wine, and have a hundred yuan of Taiping money per month. As for the worry-free money stored in Qi Niang, I can probably buy the materials once, so I won't move for the time being.
In this way, his future is still bright, he can save at least 1,000 yuan or so every year, as long as it takes three or four years, he can consider leaving Haichanfang, buying a house in the upper eight squares, and then promoting to a fifth-grade Taoist, and the fourth-grade sacrificial wine Taoist is no longer a luxury.
Next, you can consider starting a family, that is, marrying a Taoist couple with a female crown who is in love.
As for the heirs, there is no need to force it, it depends on the wishes of the two. Daomen is not very different from the secular in this respect, and it cannot be generalized.
Of course, the premise is that he can't die unexpectedly halfway, and he can't be found out as a member of the Qingping Society.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu's mood couldn't help but become heavy again.
Qi Niang is right, living in Qingping is not the right way after all, climbing in the Dao Gate is the right way. Therefore, the goal of breaking away from the Qingping Society remains the same.
Qi Xuansu subconsciously glanced at Zhang Yuelu beside him from the corner of his eye.
Zhang Yuelu didn't know what Qi Xuansu was thinking, and her thoughts were not like Qi Xuansu's thoughts around her own future, she was thinking about something useful and useless.
What is she doing now?
Strictly speaking, she used her own name to help Qi Xuansu buy the "Divine Dragon Handcuffs" and the corresponding ammunition.
Is this behavior proper? Daomen has not made clear provisions, which is not a violation, but Daomen does not support this kind of behavior, which is a loophole.
Now that she has helped Qi Xuansu buy a "Divine Dragon Handcuff" on her behalf, there seems to be no problem, and no one can criticize her. But if the more powerful people in the Daomen "buy" dozens or hundreds of them on their behalf, and then put all these "dragon handguns" on the black market to make a profit and earn the difference, then what is it?
Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but think deeply.
Why not plug this loophole? Don't want to block? Still can't block it?
If it is the former, then it means that it has become an unwritten rule, and if it is the latter, where does the resistance come from?
Zhang Yuelu only felt that the road ahead was long, and she didn't know where the way out was. Even if the Xuan Sage came into the world, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to change.
What is the weakness of the heart, and what is the soft-spoken people.
It's just a step at a time, and it's a point to be able to do it.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu asked softly, "Qingxiao, let's go?" ”
Zhang Yuelu came back to her senses and nodded, "Okay." ”
The two of them walked out of the Tianji Hall branch together, but they didn't rush down the steps.
Zhang Yuelu suddenly stretched out her hand in front of Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu was stunned, not quite understanding what Zhang Yuelu meant, and hesitantly stretched out a hand and shook hands with Zhang Yuelu.
It's a little soft, it's a little cool, it's quite silky.
With the deepening of exchanges between the East and the West, a group of people led by the cabinet assistant set off a wave of Western learning. Qi Xuansu remembered that there was this kind of etiquette in the Western Continent, when the two met, they would show each other that they were not carrying weapons and malicious intentions, and they wanted to show each other the right hand holding the weapon. Later, it gradually evolved into a handshake, which is roughly equivalent to the gift of holding a fist in the Central Plains.
Zhang Yuelu angrily knocked off Qi Xuansu's hand and glared at him: "Take the opportunity to take advantage? ”
"It's clear that you took the initiative to reach over, why did you still hit a rake?" Qi Xuansu only felt wronged.
Zhang Yuelu said: "What about my 'Divine Dragon Handcuff'? You've got your own 'Dragon Handcuff', should you give it back to me, right? ”
Qi Xuansu touched the "old love" who had been with him for more than half a month, and then touched the "new love" that was still in the box, and said with an embarrassed smile: "I heard that there is a handshake etiquette in the Western Continent, and I also wondered how you changed your sex, and began to pay attention to Western etiquette." Speaking of Western etiquette, the number of etiquette of people in the Western Continent is very strange, including kissing hand gifts, hugging ceremony, and veneer ceremony, which is really immoral. ”
The corners of Zhang Yuelu's mouth are hooked, there is no charm at all, but there is the aura of a dragon and a tiger, just as Qi Xuansu said, like a tiger, like a dragon, which makes Qi Xuansu feel a little cool for no reason.
Then I heard Zhang Yuelu ask, "Do you also want to try the etiquette of the Western Continent?" ”
Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and said, "Where do you want to go?" I have no such intention, but I just think that the people of the Western Continent, even if they are not barbarians, are very different from our Central Plains, and they are strange and strange. ”
Zhang Yuelu snorted lightly and did not continue to investigate, and there was a faint curvature at the corner of his mouth: "Where is my handcuff?" Hurry up and hand it over. ”
Qi Xuansu hesitated for a moment, rubbed the ivory grip of the handcuff, and said: "The best partner of the Jianghu people is the weapon, I have been fighting side by side with it for more than half a month, and it has been run-in very well. ”
Zhang Yuelu didn't withdraw his hand, and said lightly: "This is a good proposal, if this 'Divine Dragon Handcuff' is mine, then I will definitely agree, anyway, I don't use it much, it doesn't matter which one." It's a pity that this 'Divine Dragon Handcuff' is not mine, but issued by Tiangang Hall, and it is numbered on it and cannot be traded. ”
Qi Xuansu sighed, handed over the "old love" that had been used very smoothly to Zhang Yuelu's hands, and took out the brand-new "new love" from the box by the way, filled an ordinary projectile, and put it in the gun sleeve.
Zhang Yuelu took his handgun and gently stroked it, thoughtfully.
