Chapter Eighty-Seven, The Source of the Scramble
Chapter Eighty-Seven, The Source of the Scramble
Just as Yi Canghong was about to say something, a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties came over and said respectfully, "Master, the wine and food are ready." ”
"Yi Xiaoyou, let's go, let's talk while eating. After speaking, he took Yi Canghong to another living room specially prepared for eating and drinking.
Yi Canghong saw that not only was the place here ten times bigger than the Fengjiang family, but even the food was not at the same level, and the style and delicacy of those dishes could be taken out for exhibition, and it could be seen that most of these were demon beast meat, which showed that this thing was not something that ordinary people could eat. "Little friend, please sit down and try our dishes here, although it is not the best, but at least it is rare. Zhong Qian said with a smile.
"Looking at the delicacy of these dishes, presumably Brother Zhong's cook came out of Tianxiang Restaurant!" Yi Canghong said. Of course, this is also because Yi Canghong saw that the style of these dishes was a bit similar to the dishes he ate at Tianxiang Restaurant, so he said so.
"Xiaoyou has been to Tianxiang Restaurant?" Zhong Qian was taken aback and said.
"Hehe, I've been there once, and I've tasted a few good dishes. Yi Canghong casually said the names of a few dishes that Ren Shitian took him to Tianxiang Restaurant to eat.
"Hehe, Xiaoyou, I've only heard of the dishes you said, but I've never eaten them!" Zhong Qian had to believe that what Yi Canghong said was true, because it was impossible for anyone who had not been there to know the existence of these dishes, which made Zhong Qian convinced of Yi Canghong's identity. "Brother Zhong, let's tell me about the battle on the road! what is the strength of those bandits and demon beasts?" Yi Canghong said without bothering to talk about the topic.
"If you want to talk about those bandits, ordinary little minions are only the third or fourth order of martial arts, and the little leader is probably the fifth or sixth order of Lingwu double cultivation. Only a few of them have reached the seventh or eighth order. Although it is not impossible to say that there is no one who has reached the realm of spiritual foundation. But almost all of them are almost invisible, the number of their forces ranges from a dozen to more than a hundred, and their strength is not much worse than the strength of ordinary family forces, of course, they almost all belong to an alliance, but they are all dissatisfied with anyone, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are scattered, unless there are some common interests, otherwise it is impossible for them to get together. As for the monsters. Since this is all on the periphery of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the general ones are only five or six orders, and a few who have reached the seventh or eighth order, and those who have reached the spiritual base realm are almost invisible, of course, except for the beast tide, as long as you are careful, you will not touch these guys. As for the higher ranks, hehe, it seems that it has only appeared once or twice for so long. Zhong Qian said flatly.
"Oh, is there only the strength of the seventh or eighth order in the machine book?" Yi Canghong also replied with a flat sentence. Although Yi Canghong replied plainly, his heart felt like he had been punched by someone else. I couldn't help but think in my heart, what kind of joke is this, does he know that when I killed a sixth-order Hu Yishan in seconds, he thinks that I can easily deal with a seventh- or eighth-order powerhouse? Or did this Zhongqian dig a trap to make himself jump down?
"That's right, this competition is not just to compete for the management of that city, its main purpose is also to let the people of the academy have a good experience. "Zhongqian Road.
"That's not right! This demon beast material or something, it's all indispensable things for monks, how can it be the turn of the six empires to fight for it?" Yi Canghong said as if he had thought of something.
"Hehe, didn't I just say it? We're all on the periphery, to put it bluntly, it's the soup left by those monks who have eaten the meat and gnawed the bones, and the things that the city has acquired are some low-level demon beast materials and herbs and the like, the things here are worth a lot of money to us, but this thing is garbage for the Lingwu Dao monks, but it is a treasure for our six empires, think about it, if our empire's army is equipped with armor and weapons made of demon beast materials, hey! The combat power has improved by more than one grade, and those herbs, if any empire has those herbs, it is also a great thing, of course, this is limited to the war of the mortal world, for those monks, it is not vulnerable at all, but just this point, the tax revenue of that city is almost more than one-third of the entire empire. "Zhongqian Road.
"I see, if you go inside, won't you go to the monk area of the Spirit Martial Dao, and the materials you get there must be worth a lot. Yi Canghong said.
"Hehe, Xiaoyou, you really dare to think that place, even if it is a monk, you have to be very careful, don't dare to go too close to the depths of the mountains, like us people go, to put it bluntly, it is to die. Zhong Qian said with a smile.
"Since you know that it is to send you to death, why do the six empires still let the people of the six major academies run into such a dangerous place to participate in some kind of competition! Where is this experience, it is simply to send them to death! If you happen to encounter a high-level demon beast coming out or encountering a large beast tide, then not all the people in the academy will have to die. Yi Canghong said.
"Hey, this is not to visit the six major sects, in fact, the monks of the Spirit Martial Dao are similar to us mortals, they will also hold a sect competition every three years, and they are also fighting for a city, but that city is in the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, they are just like us, they are all sending the younger generation of the sect to fight there, just like they said, if you don't even have this bit of courage, what else to fight, just go home and farm, hehe." "Zhongqian Road.
"That's right, if you don't even have the courage to do so, just go home and farm. Yi Canghong smiled helplessly.
So, as dangerous as it was, no one thought to change it. Because this is indeed a good opportunity to experience. "Zhongqian Road.
"So, when is the competition held?" Yi Canghong asked.
"After two and a half months, it was almost 3,300 miles, and if it went well, it would take three months. Zhong Qian replied.
"So, I still have time to build a weapon. Yi Canghong said in a deep voice.
"Weapons?What kind of weapons do you want? Hehe, there's an arsenal here, although it's not very big, but there are a lot of weapons in it. Wait for the food and drinks. Take your little friend to pick one below. All I have in my collection are high-end weapons. Although it is not as good as a spiritual weapon, it is still quite rare for us mortals. "Zhongqian Road.
"It's okay, I'll see what Brother Zhong has in his collection. Yi Canghong said with a smile.
After the two of them were full, Zhong Qian took Yi Canghong to a house in the backyard, and when he entered, he saw that it was full of swords and halberds. Sticks, hook whips, you can tell at a glance that this is definitely not an ordinary goods.
"Little friend, please see, there are a total of three hundred and seventeen weapons in the collection here, each of which is a high-grade weapon, and even a few top-level weapons, which one do you like?" Zhong Qian said with a smile.
"Brother Zhong, it seems that your collection is quite rich. Yi Canghong also looked at each weapon with interest.
"Hey, abundance is abundance, but unfortunately there is no spiritual weapon, and there is nothing to show off. Zhong Qian smiled bitterly.
"Is this spiritual artifact so rare?" Yi Canghong said strangely. In fact, the spiritual weapons that Yi Canghong had seen were already very large compared to people of their level. First of all, Ren Shitian's large giant sword, and then the Qulan guqin that he bought for two gold coins. There is also Feng Jiangrong's crossbow, which makes Yi Canghong feel that this spiritual weapon is not as rare as the legend, but he doesn't know that even a royal person like Zhong Qian does not have a spiritual weapon.
"Hey, Xiaoyou, this spiritual weapon is a rare thing even in the monk world, you say that if we can see even a low-level spiritual weapon in the mortal world, it will be in vain!" Zhong Qian thought that Yi Canghong had seen a lot of spiritual weapons, so he said this.
"Hehe, listen to what you said, that old thing said to give me that giant sword before, but I didn't ask for it, it was a waste!" Yi Canghong couldn't help but sigh quietly.
"Ahh Giving away spiritual weapons, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is not something that ordinary sects can do.
"Hehe! It's nothing, I don't see that you have any weapons here that are suitable for me, so let's build a new one!" Yi Canghong said.
"There is no suitable one, what kind of weapon does Xiaoyou want? There are more than ninety long swords here, is there no one that is suitable for Xiaoyou?" Zhong Qian said.
But he didn't want Yi Canghong's eyes to stay on those knives at this time, and said in a heavy voice: "What I want is not a sword, but a knife." ”
"Knife?" Zhong Qian was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, could it be that the information he got was wrong? Among the information he obtained, Yi Canghong seemed to have never used a knife! Not even the shadow of a knife appeared.
"Yes, I'm actually best at swordsmanship. Yi Canghong said that he was good at knife techniques, and his face couldn't help but sink slightly, as if talking about this knife technique was a taboo for him.
"What kind of knife does Xiaoyou want, please draw a pattern, and someone Zhong will ask someone to make it! Zhong someone dares to guarantee that it will be made of high-grade fine iron. Zhong Qian looked like he was afraid that Yi Canghong would run away.
"Okay then!" Yi Canghong felt very uncomfortable when he thought of the knife that was about to draw a blueprint.
When he came to the study, Yi Canghong drew the pattern of the knife with pen and paper, and said: "The knife I want should be seven inches wide and two feet long, the back of the knife should be a cloud map, half an inch thick, there should be a handle on the back of the tip of the knife, the main handle should be one foot long, and a two-foot-long iron chain should be added behind the handle, and there should be a handle behind the chain, and the back of the handle should be crescent-shaped." Yi Canghong's words at this time became very gloomy, giving people the feeling that this knife had brought Yi Canghong an unhappy past. In fact, Yi Canghong didn't want this knife to see the light of day again, but Yi Canghong was afraid that the opponent he was going to face was too strong, and if he didn't use this knife, Yi Canghong was even more afraid that he would not be sure that he would be able to pass this hurdle.
"Why do I feel so weird about this knife?, has there ever been such a weapon in this world?" Zhong Qian looked at the pattern drawn by Yi Canghong and said strangely.
"It doesn't matter if it's there or not, you just have to build it. Yi Canghong said cautiously.
"Got it. Zhong Qian took the drawing, and when he saw the strange knife, he didn't know how to pump it so fiercely, if he wanted to say why, Zhong Qian didn't know, he just felt that this strange knife was domineering and had a bad spirit.
Unconsciously, at night, Zhong Qian asked his subordinates to clean up the guest room, so that Yi Canghong could rest, that night, Yi Canghong remembered the past and couldn't sleep for a long time, in the previous life, I don't know how long it has been since now, Yi Canghong relied on this strange knife to kill almost half of the elites on the rivers and lakes at that time, whether it was his enemies, or his relatives who once framed him, and even the people he loved the most.
Another point is that Yi Canghong didn't want to do this, but he couldn't let go of Feng Jiang Yingxue in his heart, so he agreed to urge the relocation to help with this, after all, the two of them have lived together for so long, if they want to say that there is no emotion, it is not possible, but it is not the relationship between men and women.
