Volume 1: Ancestral Mountain Burning Immortals - Altar of Caution Chapter 22: The Weasel Greets the Chicken
"But!" Lao Lu changed his words: "You are right about one thing, a small number of outsiders who have returned from the forbidden land, what ...... That does hurt the lottery. ”
After speaking, Lao Lu's eyes showed a cunning essence, and he glanced at the back of Yue Guanchao's hand, he knew that what this old man said was three points true and seven points false, and teased: "What about the other big part?" ”
"Hey~ That's a big part of it, I didn't come back at all."
……
Wild River Station, guest room on the second floor
Yue Guanchao entered the door of the guest room, glanced out a few times, and closed the door with a click.
Song Siyuan noticed his abnormality and looked at the two: "Have you found anything new?" ”
Yue Guanchao nodded like pecking rice: "Just now, I entered the utility room while Utu was full, and I saw a set of cloaks hanging on the beams inside, which didn't look like something that the people would have." ”
He didn't have his hand idle when he spoke, and took the straw paper to draw a rough picture of the beast scale cloak he saw, which looked scribbled, and the general outline was already there.
Lu Fengjian took the pattern, and Song Siyuan looked at it a few times, and the two of them looked at each other with their eyes, and said in unison: "It's the mountain scale armor." ”
"Mountain Scale Armor, what's that?"
Yue Guanchao was puzzled, scratching the back of his head and asked.
Lu Fengjian took the drafting paper and introduced this armor endlessly:
"Mountain scale armor, is a unique armor in the Xing'an Mountains area, composed of a mask-covering hat, animal scale cloak, copper armor, fur boots, animal skin belt, waist also hung with bird guns, bone knife, long crossbow, leather whip, long whistle, wolf smoke pill, legend that the outer armor is made of a hundred years of fine pangolin skin, lined with rubbed soft and old cowhide, tough and thin, cold in summer, warm in winter, with the copper armor inside, can resist most of the knife and gun damage, ordinary knife and axe chopping can not hurt it at all, is a first-class armor, It was only on the northern frontier front against Tsarist Russia that this kind of armor could be used. ”
Lu Fengjian introduced a large section to Yue Guanchao, and he himself realized that Utuman's identity was not simple, and his eyes widened: "This kind of armor is generally not qualified for ordinary people. ”
"What do you mean, the person who is qualified to have him can only be an official?"
This is beyond Yue Guanchao's imagination, he thought it was just an ordinary powerful armor, but he didn't expect it to be related to the official body, then this is interesting.
Song Siyuan looked at him, raised her eyebrows, and smiled slightly:
"Feng Jian is only half right, and it is not the official who can have him, but the man in armor on the border."
Yue Guanchao listened to it with relish, and Song Siyuan saw that he was full of interest, and continued to explain:
"The history of this armor man can be traced back to the entry of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and I really don't know how to tell you for a while, anyway, you can know a little bit, and those who can match this kind of armor must be a generation of soldiers who guarded the border for the royal family of the previous dynasty, and they must be the elite of the elite to be eligible to be awarded the mountain scale armor."
Her eyes moved, and her tone became mysterious:
"In other words, if you don't look away, Utu is full of hidden heavy armor from the former dynasty, and there are only three possibilities to get the armor."
The first type is that he himself is a man in armor, and he was awarded the mountain scale armor by the military government.
There is also a second type, if his armor was stolen or taken from some tomb, then he may also be a bandit or tomb robber.
The third case is slightly better, and it may also be a gift from his relatives and friends, but this possibility is very small, almost negligible. ”
Yue Guanchao thought that Utuman was just a good-tempered old hunter, but after the analysis of these two people, he was full of curiosity about Utuman.
This old man has a lot of secrets hidden, but not ordinary!
Yue Guanchao lay on the bunk on the ground, shook Erlang's legs and muttered: "That's it, tomorrow we will bring a few wild animals and go to Wutu Man's house to explore the wind again, this time, maybe we can find a guide, this pair of ancestors and grandchildren live in the forest next to the forbidden land, and they must be very familiar with Wucoffin Town." ”
Yue Guanchao made up his mind, got up early the next morning, came to the market in the center of the town to buy a few wild game hunted by the villagers, and when the sun came out, he took the two of them to the small courtyard of Ah Ying's house again.
Yue Guanchao pushed open the fence door and stepped on the black mud to take a look into the yard, the kitchen was not smoking, and the wolf dog was not there last time.
"Did you go hunting?"
He crept into the courtyard, the east and west compartments were all locked, only the main room was half-hidden, revealing a little gap.
"Uncle Utuman, have you left home?"
Yue Guanchao pushed open the door of the main house, the sunlight shone through the door, and the dust floated in the air, and the grandparents and grandchildren did not seem to be there.
"Watching the tide, the two of them are not here, we have to come back later."
Yue Guanchao turned his head and smiled crookedly, and said to the back: "Feng Jian, you just want to talk about the rules after reading too many books, they are not here, let's not just probe their bottom." ”
"Let's go!"
Yue Guanchao walked into the main house and pushed open the utility room, the space inside was not large, the wood chips surrounded the spired granary, and the surrounding area was full of sun-dried buds, peppers, bacon, and some messy hoes, shovels, and nail rakes hung on the wall messily, nothing unusual.
He picked up the wooden stick and hooked off the armor from the beams, the surface of which was covered with fine spider silk, and it was all dust when he touched it with his hands.
Yue Guanchao took this armor out into the sunlight and tore through the dense cobwebs, Song Siyuan nodded at him, it was indeed as they expected, it was a well-made mountain scale essence armor.
"You say, what does this old guy want to do with this kind of thing?"
Yue Guanchao inadvertently shook his armor, and with a snap, something wrapped in black cloth fell out of the armor.
"What is this?"
