Chapter 98: Departure
Name!
The light cyan light came into view, and Li Yuan, who had almost dug the backyard ten meters down, was shocked:
"Found it!"
Li Yuan tapped his feet, turned out a ten-meter-high pit on the earthen wall, looked around at the night, and after making sure that the courtyard door was closed, he went back to the house and slipped the little mouse out.
"If someone comes, call it!"
Turning back into the earth pit, Li Yuan left the little mouse outside, and he pulled out the autumn water sword and dug deep towards the place where the light cyan light surged.
The Qiushui sword sharpened iron like mud, sharpened mud like paper, and soon, Li Yuan only felt that the tip of the sword was slightly stunned, as if it had penetrated some gap.
Click!
Li Yuan immediately made a decision, withdrew the Qiushui Sword, stretched out his hands, pulled the dirt, and after a while, he was already standing outside a stone wall.
"It's a secret room!"
Shaking off the dirt on his body, Li Yuan couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
This stone chamber is sixteen or seventeen meters underground, let alone digging three feet into the ground, digging thirty feet into the ground, that is also not to be found.
A stone wall naturally couldn't stop Li Yuan, so he took out the Qiushui Sword and cut a hole in three or two strokes, but he didn't rush in, but cut the entire stone wall into gravel.
After making sure there were no traps in the stone chamber, I walked in.
The stone chamber is not large, two or three meters square, and there are fewer things, only two wooden boxes placed in the corners of the wall, in which the golden silk snake hand is located.
"There's no mechanism, too, it's all hidden at the bottom, and it's a bit redundant to set up another mechanism......
Li Yuan muttered in his heart, but he still used his sword to cut open the two wooden boxes from a distance, only to hear a few snorts, and the blue sleeve arrows were nailed to the ground.
"Five-step snake venom?"
Li Yuan glanced at it, he didn't care anymore, lit the fire, and looked at it with a faint light.
In the wooden box on the left, there were thick stacks of house deeds, title deeds, and the most deed of sale, and Li Yuan found his own, which was put aside alone.
In addition to the house deed, there are green snake guns, white ape hammers, and tiger roaring knives, in addition, there are more than 20 silver tickets, 50 taels of gold, 10 taels of red gold, and a number of pearl agate!
"This is the essence of the forging shop!"
After a little counting, Li Yuan's heartbeat accelerated a little, this windfall was far more than the sum of the previous ones!
With this money, he does not have to advance his monthly money for the time being.
The monthly money of the big shopkeeper, four hundred taels a year, is advanced for one year, which is already a little cramped, and it is really advanced for another two or three years, I am afraid that the forging shop will be suspended on the spot.
The forging shop has a big business, and there are many people who can be raised, and the monthly money of more than 100 people, iron, charcoal, which does not need money?
"A famous weapon!"
Li Yuan picked up the pair of golden silk gloves, and his heart couldn't help but be excited.
The best sharp blade, a bite of a thousand taels of silver, a famous weapon, is far more than a mouthful, a bite of at least five thousand taels of silver, often priceless.
This is the essence of the forging shop.
Without looking closely, Li Yuan glanced at the stone room and couldn't help frowning:
"Is this the only one that is famous?"
Zhang Ben is one of the few people who knows about the existence of the secret room, and it is only when he says something after drinking that Li Yuan knows.
And according to Zhang Ben, in this secret room, there must be at least five or more top-grade blades......
Li Yuan flipped through it, and he really turned it out.
"In the autumn of 1447, I took a cold iron knife and sent it to Zhao Yunsheng of the Dragon Mansion, and the Zhao family was one of the six families of the Dragon Mansion......
"In the spring of 1449, he took the blue water and cold light double sword and gave it to Zhong Liyi, a disciple of the inner sect of the Divine Soldier Valley......
"Winter 1451, ......"
……
"Cao Yan is a character."
Closing the account book, Li Yuan not only sighed that it was not easy to live in the dragon, but it was Cao Yan's generosity.
In less than seven years, he sent out eleven superb blades, which was the foundation accumulated by the forging shop for more than 200 years, in order to enter the Dragon Mansion.
Even, he is already about to succeed.
Call~
Putting away the things in the secret room, Li Yuan jumped out of the pit and backfilled in the hard soil that had been dug up.
At this moment, he has more than a thousand catties of strength in his arms, and these jobs are not even drudgery for him, and they have been backfilled in before dawn.
Take out the hexagonal hammer again and tamp it down a little.
"The title deed and the house deed have to be sent to the city guard, well, these things, it's not a problem to exchange a few volumes of drawings at all, after all, I borrowed it for a few years."
Tearing off a few pieces of meat and stuffing them to the little mouse, Li Yuan went back to the house and counted the gains in the secret room.
Ten taels of red gold, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, two thousand four hundred taels of silver tickets, plus agate pearls and the like, this adds up to at least eight thousand taels!
This is a number that even Zhang Ben will be stunned even if he looks at it, even if he fights for another fifty years, he will not be able to earn so much silver.
"The need for the promotion of the Commander of the Soldier is a small half!"
Li Yuan was a little excited, but quickly calmed down.
To be promoted to the fifth rank, you need 100 catties of steel, 100 catties of cold iron, 5,000 taels of silver, 100 taels of gold, and 20 taels of red gold.
"I'm still thinking that I can be promoted to the fifth rank in one go!"
Li Yuan was a little pity, but he was already quite satisfied with this harvest.
Behind the silver ticket, there was the real big head of the secret room, a golden silk snake hand, with an imperceptible blood color in the light cyan light.
【Golden Silk Snake Hand (4th Order)】
[Thirteen kinds of rare iron materials are blended into silk, mainly gold threads, intertwined, which can resist swords, internal qi, water and fire......]
[Palm control conditions: any of the middle and theraval palm consummation, the lower pourability fist consummation, and the worship of the god threefold]
[Palm Control Effect: Empty-handed Snatching Blades, Resisting Water and Fire, Fist Talent, Five Folds of Worship to the Gods, Introduction to the Divine Palm Sutra]
"It's also related to the worship of God."
There were some shadows in Li Yuan's heart.
In the past few months, he has not had a bad relationship with various forces in the city, and he has borrowed a lot of books, but to his horror,
Including the yamen, including the city guards and the Yuan family, there is not a single book in Gaoliu County that mentions the worship of the gods!
The prince in the private school, after returning home to save his relatives, there was no news again, and he happened to avoid Han Chuijun's purge......
"Coincidence?"
Li Yuan was a little depressed in his heart: "Or is it that Master Wang is the big fish that Lao Han didn't catch?"
The golden silk snake hand made Li Yuan have more associations, and made him miss Lao Han very much.
……
After dawn, he sent someone to send the deed to the city guard, and Li Yuan went to a private school.
Because no one took care of it for a long time, the tables and books in the private school were dusty, and he searched around carefully, but found nothing else.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much?"
Li Yuan shook his head, maybe he was really thinking too much.
After all, Wang Fuzi has been in the forging shop for many years.
On the ninth day of the new year, it was a sunny day.
Bidding farewell to his brother and sister-in-law with red eyes, Li Yuan, who had already made arrangements, carried a burden and carried the long-handled melon hammer he had held when he went to Fajiu Mountain before and went out of the city.
It was lively outside the city gates.
People from all families gathered together, escorted by the Long-term Dart Bureau to the Dragon Mansion, carriages, dart cars more than 20 cars, seeing off, no less than hundreds of people.
In these years, it is not easy to go far away, and it is even more dangerous to travel alone, and it is inevitable to encounter bandits and horse bandits when staying in the wilderness at night.
"Senior brother."
Outside the city gate, Zhou Qianzhong seemed to have waited for a long time, then turned over and dismounted, and handed over a package:
"This is what you want, the fundamental diagram of the Wild Lion Knife Technique and Swimming Fish Skill."
"Thank you, brother."
Li Yuan took it with both hands: "After a while, I will send it back to the dart bureau."
"I'll pay it back when my brother comes back."
Zhou Qianzhong smiled and disagreed: "Senior brother must remember what he said before, the opportunity for the mountain gate to open next year is rare, and the junior brother must seize it."
"Senior Brother's Office
Say, the junior brother will keep it in mind, and he will do his best to enter the mountain this time!"
Li Yuan nodded.
After a few banquets, he was already very familiar with Zhou Qianzhong, and he also learned a lot about the Dragon Mansion and the Valley of Divine Soldiers.
Zhou Qianzhong didn't say anything more, and hugged his fists to send him off:
"Then, for the sake of the brother, I wish the junior brother a victory, and enter the inner door in one fell swoop!"
"Borrow the auspicious words of my senior brother!"
Li Yuan smiled back.
There are more than 20 disciples who went to the Valley of the Divine Soldiers to apprentice, and at this moment, looking at Li Yuan, who was chatting and laughing with the heads of many forces in the inner and outer cities, they couldn't help but have complicated expressions.
Those who are in charge are either their masters or their fathers......
Liang Ashui led the horse and watched it from a distance, his expression was a little weird.
He never expected that he would go out to fish for half a month, and this rookie in the forging shop would become the shopkeeper of the forging shop.
And......
"Talent No. 1 ......"
Liang Ashui muttered in his heart, and began to feed the pony instead.
"Brother Lai!"
"Brother Li, I'm waiting for you!"
Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao, Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and others had already arrived, but they still waited for Li Yuan to talk to the various forces and the deputy commanders of the city guard before they came over to say hello.
Many people are excited and apprehensive about going far away.
"Brother Li, why did you bring a big rat?"
Wang Peiyao's eyes were sharp, and she saw the little mouse poking out of her baggage.
"It's a little vole."
Li Yuan corrected her.
The little mouse who has eaten a lot of pills is now the size of a kitten, Liu Zheng and others don't care, but Wang Peiyao is a little respectful.
"Brother Li is really ...... Unique."
Wang Peiyao took a few steps back.
"Shopkeeper Li, please get into the carriage first, the road is far away, you still have to leave as soon as possible."
Lin Qingfa came over with a spear.
The chief dart head of the long-term dart game, after experiencing being robbed by the Viper Gang, has been trapped for a long time, and now he has recovered.
The forces in the city were destroyed, but not all the gangs were killed, and many of them who had cultivated internal strength poured into the rest of the families, and the forging shops recruited a lot.
The chief dart head took the opportunity to recruit a large number of new dart heads, and this time the darts and guards were also undertaken by them.
"There's Mr. Lao's dart."
Li Yuan knew that he had delayed the time, and after apologizing, he hurriedly got into the carriage of the forging shop.
"Senior Brother Yue, Senior Brother Wu, the carriage is spacious, let's come up together."
Before getting into the carriage, Li Yuan turned around.
Since he became the shopkeeper, Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and other apprentices in the inner courtyard were very restrained about him, and they were all stunned when they heard the words, and after glancing at each other, they still shook their heads and refused.
The forging shop didn't count Li Yuan this time, a total of six people went there, they went up, what did the other four think?
"Let's go!"
Li Yuan didn't say anything, and after he got into the car, Lin Qingfa waved his big hand, and the convoy slowly drove along the official road.
"Dragon Mansion, Divine Soldier Valley!"
Li Yuan had some expectations in his heart, but he lifted the curtains as if he was aware of it, looked back at Gao Yanagi, and in the crowd of people who saw him off, he saw his brother and sister-in-law,
Sun Fatzi, Qiu Da and others.
"Huh?!"
Suddenly, Li Yuan's brows furrowed, he lowered the curtain, and his face changed.
At one glance, he seemed to see the prince, but at the second glance, he didn't see it......
……
……
"Good boy, it's a pity that the talent is worse, and the old man doesn't have the heart to accept apprentices......
Wang Wenyuan looked at the distant convoy, as if he was aware of it, and a man dressed in coarse cloth approached, with a respectful attitude:
"Su Wanxiong's letter seems to be to summon Lei Chaozong and others, maybe he can't bear it......
"Lei Chaozong? The grave is going to grow grass, and it is still gathered?"
Wang Wenyuan smiled dumbly.
"Let's ......"
"Unless the landlord speaks, the old man doesn't bother to pay attention."
"Konasu Wanxiong......
"Nothing."
Wang Wenyuan glanced at him lightly.
The two of them were talking in a normal voice and did not deliberately hide it, but in the crowd that gradually dispersed, it seemed that no one heard them at all.
"So, us?"
The man was very helpless, he had been chopping firewood in the mountains for decades......
"What should I do, what else, everything, let's wait for the landlord to get out......
Glancing at the four-wheeled sun hanging high in the sky without a trace, Wang Wenyuan sighed and turned back to the city.
