Chapter 7 Buying a knife
"Liu Zhukuai, what are you?"
The door opened, and Zhang Xu looked at the few people at the door with inquiring eyes.
Liu Qing hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Dao Chief, it's really inappropriate to come here presumphensibly, but this time we have encountered some troubles and need the help of Dao Chief." ”
As he spoke, Liu Qing turned to look at the two people behind him, one of them was tall and burly, with a beard, and looking at his clothes, he was also fast.
The other was a middle-aged man with a fortune, dressed in a brown robe and a round hat, standing at the back.
"Dao Chief, this is our Chen Zhutou of Wuxiu County, and this is Liu Yuanwai of Liufu." Liu Qing introduced.
Chen Zhutou waved his hand at Liu Qing, and then stepped forward and said: "Dao Chief, in Xia Chen Yu, it is the head catcher of Wuxiu County, this time I came really unavoidable, please forgive me." ”
This Chen Zhutou was quite polite, and Zhang Xu only said: "This is not the place to talk, three of you, please come in." ”
With that, Zhang Xu took the three of them to the room.
Sitting down, Chen Yu immediately spoke: "To be honest, we encountered a case before, which was the murder of the old mother of Liu Yuanwai's family, I thought it was an ordinary case, but I didn't expect it to be related to monsters." ”
"Youkai?" Hearing Chen Yu's words, Zhang Xu's brows furrowed slightly.
Subsequently, Chen Yu recounted the incident.
After Liu Yuanwai's mother was killed, someone called a report and identified the murderer as a subordinate of Liufu called Abductor.
However, this kidnapper disappeared after Liu's mother was killed.
Later, they investigated, it turned out that the kidnapper had a good relationship with Zhang Ergou in Xiaofeng Village, and on the day of the county order trial, Liu Qing and the others went to Xiaofeng Village, preparing to take Zhang Ergou to the county government to interrogate the case.
Zhang Xu knew very well about the matter of Xiaofeng Village, Zhang Ergou had turned into a monster, and he was very vicious.
After Liu Qing and Xu Zhi returned, the nature of the entire case changed.
Later, the prefectural magistrate invited a famous monk from the county to come to help, but as a result, he was killed by a monster.
It was precisely because of this that several people found Zhang Xu, hoping that he could help.
Looking at Zhang Xu's face, Chen Yu hurriedly said: "Daoist, please rest assured, we have invited two monks this time, and the remuneration is absolutely generous." ”
Liu Yuanwai in the back also stepped forward and said: "Daochang Zhang, please rest assured, as long as you are willing to make a move, no matter what the result is, you will get three hundred taels of silver." ”
Hearing Liu Yuanwai's words, Zhang Xu thought about it, his strength is low now, and the best choice is not to make a move.
However, he is indeed short of money now.
Just the day before yesterday, just to buy some relatively low-level magic materials, the cost required was nearly fifty taels of silver, and this was just the beginning.
In the future, he still wants to sacrifice better magic weapons, and he can't do it without money.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xu replied: "I can help, but the silver has to be paid in advance!" ”
"That's fine." Liu Yuanwai replied very simply.
Zhang Xu nodded, then stood up and said, "When are you going to act?" ”
"Just the day after tomorrow, we have investigated some clues, and if they are confirmed in the next two days, then we will act the day after tomorrow." Chen Yu replied.
"Well, I want to make some preparations, and you can come and inform me before you act." Zhang Xu replied.
Hearing Zhang Xu's words, the three of them seemed to be relieved.
After the matter was negotiated, Liu Yuanwai took out the three hundred taels of silver tickets on the spot.
Seeing that Liu Yuan was so decisive, Zhang Xu did not have the slightest hypocrisy, and directly accepted the three hundred taels.
Subsequently, the three of them also said goodbye to Zhang Xu and left.
In the room, Zhang Xu pondered for a while, he opened a package, and there were more than a dozen talismans in it, which were the results of his cultivation these days.
"Well, the peach wood sword, the gossip mirror, the long sword, the talisman, and some spare magic weapons, these all need to be prepared."
The magic weapon that he can now hold in his hands is the dust left to him by the Daoist on the clouds.
Although he didn't know what level of magic weapon the dust was, after a few days of exploration and research, Zhang Xu felt that this dust had to be at least an intermediate magic weapon.
There are also three levels of magic weapons, and the higher the level of magic weapons, the greater the power and use.
After putting away the magic weapon, Zhang Xu took the package and walked out.
When he came to the streets of the county seat, Zhang Xu found that there were many more people in the rivers and lakes with swords.
In his opinion, the so-called martial arts conference is coming soon, but he doesn't know what the so-called mountain treasure is.
Zhang Xu carried three hundred taels of silver tickets in his arms and walked quickly towards the street.
After a while, he saw a man dressed in a black scarf, with a dark face and a wooden expression, holding a long knife in his arms, and a straw stuck in it.
Seeing the man, Zhang Xu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked towards the man.
"Wu Zhuangshi."
Zhang Xu stepped forward to say hello, and the man who was called Wu Zhuangshi looked up at him.
"What, you're here to buy a knife?" Wu Zhuangshi asked out loud.
Zhang Xu nodded with a smile and said, "That's right, I'm here to buy a knife." ”
Wu Zhuangshi's arm holding the long knife tightened slightly, and then said, "Two hundred taels, no counteroffer." ”
"How can there be a bargain in this deal, I have been to the blacksmith for the past few days, and your kind of knife is at most fifty taels." Zhang Xu snorted and couldn't help but say.
Wu Zhuangshi glanced at Zhang Xu and snorted coldly: "Then you can go to the blacksmith shop to buy it, why bother to come to me." ”
The corners of Zhang Xu's mouth twitched slightly, he came from modern times, and he was a little unhappy when he met this kind of seller.
However, he did take a fancy to this long knife, and when he first met it a few days ago, the bronze mirror in the sea of knowledge had a reaction.
Although he didn't know what was so special about this long knife, it could make the bronze mirror react, and it should be something extraordinary.
It's just that this surnamed Wu bit the price too much, and he bargained not far from death, and at that time he was worth only a few dozen taels, so he had to give up.
Now that he has money, he naturally has to get the long knife in his pocket as soon as possible.
talked with the surnamed Wu for a long time, but it turned out that not a penny was cheap, which made Zhang Xu extremely depressed.
Seeing that the other party took his two hundred taels of silver tickets into his arms, Zhang Xu's heart suddenly ached.
"Huh, money is something outside the body, and the most important thing is the improvement of one's own strength."
comforting himself so much in his heart, Zhang Xu's mood was slightly better.
The man surnamed Wu looked at the long knife in Zhang Xu's hand and said with a sigh: "This knife was originally thought to be the general's saber, but later the tomb robbers stole it from the general's tomb, and after several turns, it finally arrived in my hand."
"This knife can indeed be called a treasure knife, but this knife hits with evil qi and is often used, and it is easy to fight back against the knife master, but I look at your clothes, it seems that you are a Taoist priest, and I think there should be a way to deal with it."
After speaking, the man surnamed Wu arched his hand at Zhang Xu, and then turned to leave.
Seeing the other party, Zhang Xu pulled out the long knife with a solemn look, and suddenly he found that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi around the blade became cold.
"The evil spirit is indeed very heavy, and if you want to submit, you still need some preparation."
He then turned and walked towards the market, where he needed to prepare the rest of the materials.
