Chapter 288: Black Rock District
The next day, Liu Xinyan and Li Dong entered the yamen and got together to continue to discuss the transformation of the dragon chariot.
However, the two of them really have no achievements in this regard, nor do they have any talent, and they have discussed for a long time and have not come up with a feasible opinion.
By noon, the two finally realized that such a closed-door approach would not lead to results.
So, in the afternoon, the two came to the Black Rock District of the imperial capital.
Heiyan District is located in the southwest of the imperial capital, and the location is relatively partial, which is already a suburb of the imperial capital.
However, it is here that 80% of the refiners of the imperial capital are gathered.
It is said that the Black Rock District was originally named because of the large number of refiners who gathered here to refine their tools, and over time produced a large number of refining wastes. These waste materials are piled up like a mountain of black rock from a distance, hence the name Black Rock District.
Liu Xinyan and the others came to the Black Rock District for two purposes.
The first is to see if you can meet the Scattered Cultivator Soul Master who happens to be engraved with the Suspension Bridge Array. Of course, the probability of this is very low, first of all, there are relatively few soul masters who are scattered to cultivate, after all, the number of soul masters is already scarcer than that of martial artists, so why not seek stability in the imperial court with such talent and ability.
Secondly, the suspension bridge array is listed as a talisman that can only be engraved on the royal family's seat, which makes it extremely difficult to spread. It is difficult to generate great value, so naturally there are fewer people who study it.
As for the second purpose, the two of them want to find inspiration in the market of refiners, to see if they can meet some capable people to solve this problem, and even if they encounter some strange spiritual weapons, it is good to provide some inspiration for the two.
Since it was to transform the dragon chariot for the eldest princess, in order to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking this opportunity to approach the eldest princess, it was impossible for the two of them to find the required refiners in the market in the name of the imperial court.
As a result, the two could only wander around the market aimlessly.
The two of them first came to the largest spiritual weapon trading market in the Black Rock District, called Jiashi.
It is said that at first, the refiners who sold armor set up stalls here, and then more and more refiners gathered to set up stalls, and more and more people came to trade, which gradually formed the scale of the current one.
Many years ago, the imperial court wanted to completely rectify the city and collect it for the use of the imperial court.
Of course, its original purpose was also to formalize the market order, and of course, it was also mixed with the selfishness of the imperial court to control the refiners in the market.
However, a few years after the imperial court made a move, it was found that there were fewer and fewer refiners in City A, and the business was becoming more and more bleak, and in the end, the court had no choice but to withdraw the power in City A and let City Jia grow savagely.
Liu Xinyan looked at the city in front of him, and said that it was a market, but in fact, it was just a huge shed set up on a spacious flat ground, and people came and went inside, and the noisy sound kept coming out, so it was not lively.
This half-old shed was built by the imperial court back then, and now this shed was enough to use at that time, and now it can no longer accommodate the endless stream of refiners and the continuous influx of buyers.
The small pergolas that appeared around the shed looked like small mushrooms were built by the refiners who did not occupy a place in the shed.
There may seem to be some chaos in the city, but in fact, there are hidden rules of freedom and prosperity.
Liu Xinyan looked at the surrounding paving, and sighed in his heart, now it seems that it was a wise choice for the imperial court to be forced to give up control of City A back then.
The eldest grandson used Liu Xinyan's body to observe the spiritual artifacts on the surrounding stalls.
This kind of observation of the spirit weapon of decades ago through other people's bodies in the dream realm still makes the eldest grandson feel quite novel.
Li Dong and Liu Xinyan walked from one end of the city to the other, and then from that end to this end, half an afternoon passed, and it is not good to say that there is no harvest at all, in short, the harvest is not too much.
Liu Xinyan sometimes sees some useful spiritual artifacts and wants to chat with the stall owner for a while to see if he can find inspiration, but the surrounding environment is too noisy, and the stall owner's attitude is often cold.
So after walking around, Liu Xinyan only had sporadic and trivial inspirations in his mind at this time, which could not be integrated.
Liu Xinyan was a little unwilling to waste another day like this, after all, Sun Shangshu only gave him five days, and there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and it was too late to give up now.
In the end, under Li Dong's reluctance, Liu Xinyan pulled him to the deeper alley in the Heiyan District.
In the streets and alleys of the Black Rock District, in addition to the houses where the residents live and a few restaurants, the most of them are blacksmith shops.
Most of the refiners gathered in the Black Rock District are unwilling to be attached to the scattered cultivation of those big forces, these people are more yearning for freedom, and they are more focused on refining weapons than making money.
This has also led to a special phenomenon in the Black Rock District, that is, the quality of the spiritual weapons produced here sometimes far exceeds those of the big trading houses, and even some spiritual weapons cannot even be forged by the Ministry of Industry.
But at the same time, there is no monopoly trading house here, it is often a small blacksmith shop like Liu Xinyan's eyes, and there is no gorgeous decoration in the shop, let alone the guys who entertain them.
Compared to the refiners in City A, the refiners here are still not good at talking.
But it may also be because of their own blacksmith shop, and the refiners are sometimes willing to chat with Liu Xinyan and Li Dong.
And Liu Xinyan soon gained something because of his own idea.
Being able to communicate directly with professional refiners is the most direct way to solve the problem for Liu Xinyan and the two laymen.
After communicating with the refiners of several shops, Liu Xinyan also had new inspiration.
Since no one could inscribe the suspension array, no changes could be made to the frame. The only thing that can be changed is in the carriage, which is also the direction that the two of them have determined before.
And Liu Xinyan even proposed to remove some of the heavy armor and replace the wood of the frame with more resilient wood.
If they were not facing the gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot used by the emperor, this method was actually feasible.
Although this method has been denied, the two are still looking for a solution in this direction and set their sights on the inside of the carriage.
The most shallow method that the two had come up with was to add soft cushions to the original wooden seats in the carriage.
Of course, there are very few problems that this solution can solve.
But after some shop visits, Liu Xinyan already had a solution in mind, inspired by the fact that he saw a blanket suspended in the air in a shop.
According to the shop's refiner, the original idea was to forge a blanket that could carry people flying, but in the end it was found to be too difficult.
Nowadays, although the blanket can be suspended in the air, it is only the height of a table, and the weight it can bear is far from the point where it can carry people, and now it can only be placed here to bluff people.
Of course, if you buy it back and use it as a table that can float in the air and move, it is also very imposing.
After Liu Xinyan saw this, he thought that what if he put it in the carriage and carry the eldest princess?
Although this blanket can't carry people, it doesn't matter, it can be fixed in the carriage, and there is no need to completely suspend the eldest princess, just a few centimeters in the air, so that the car can be cushioned when it encounters bumps.
Thinking of this, Liu Xinyan was very excited, so he had a heated discussion with the refiner in the shop.
And the refiner was also very excited, if this idea could be realized, then his defective product was likely to become a hot item that the dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial capital rushed to buy, after all, such legendary events were often staged in the Black Rock District.
Liu Xinyan walked out of the shop and suppressed the excitement in his heart. Keep reminding yourself in your heart that you only have a preliminary idea now, and you are still far from the final success, so you must not get carried away.
So with this thought, Liu Xinyan and Li Dong walked around the Black Rock District for a while.
It's just that they already have mature ideas in their hearts, and the two of them are not as enthusiastic about visiting the store as before.
When walking through a small alley, the two did not notice the very depressed shop in the corner of the alley, called "Hundred Tempered Steel", but were attracted by a handsome man in front of them. Just looking at his appearance, he is even better than Wang Ze, but the slightly feminine temperament between his eyebrows and eyes makes such a thing
The beautiful man is slightly gloomy.
Liu Xinyan and the others didn't know this young man, but they just felt that such a noble son with outstanding appearance and temperament looked out of place here.
Li Dong sighed secretly, "This Black Rock District is really not good-looking, Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger......
Liu Xinyan also nodded secretly, he had never been to the Black Rock District before, only when the Black Rock District was the outskirts of the imperial capital, and today after some in-depth exploration, he found that there were many talented people in the Black Rock District.
And the eldest grandson in Liu Xinyan's body was also a little excited when he saw this noble son.
"Dean Yun ...... when he was young"
"I've finally met the main owner in my dream......
The eldest grandson forcibly suppressed the urge in his heart to control Liu Xinyan's desire to come forward and recognize Dean Yun, but he still couldn't help but turn his head and watch Dean Yun walk into the blacksmith shop called "Hundred Tempered into Steel".
This move was not deliberate by the eldest grandson, but the curiosity of Liu Xinyan and Li Dong, who followed Dean Yun into the blacksmith shop.
And with this gaze, the eldest grandson discovered the young Dean Wu, and the eldest grandson immediately understood that this was the key to the dream.
It's just that the eldest grandson who lives in Liu Xinyan's body has already walked out of the alley with Liu Xinyan at this time.
The eldest grandson secretly remembered this place, and planned in his heart that if he still couldn't find a clue in the end, he would return here again no matter what.
Liu Xinyan and Li Dong then visited the shop in the Heiyan District, and did not leave until late in the evening, when the blacksmith shop was closed.
Five days was a very short time, and Liu Xinyan and the others could not continue to explore the shop in Heiyan District, and the next day Liu Xinyan found the refiner who inspired him and invited him to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
When the refiner saw that what he was about to transform was the gold-lacquered heavy armor dragon chariot used by the emperor, the whole person collapsed to the ground.
And after the initial shock and panic, the refiner began to forge day and night.
Five days passed quickly.
……
In a separate courtyard in the imperial capital, important members of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials waited with anxiety and anticris.
The person they were waiting for was the eldest princess.
