Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 16 Be Prepared for Danger in Times of Peace

Liu Jizu was shocked when he heard it, and thought to himself why he came up with such a name, this 'stealing fire' is a story in Western Greek mythology in the previous life, and it has a special meaning. Judging from Liu Jizu's understanding of Chinese culture in this world, Greek mythology, as an important foundational work of early Western culture, is estimated to exist. Why did a group of businessmen have such a name? He couldn't say anything, but he frowned and continued to listen.

Wu Lun didn't notice Liu Jizu's strange appearance, but continued to speak: "They gathered a group of people, used various means to arrest the disciples of the three sects, looted their things, forced the secrets of the various sects, and took the opportunity to create a false image to guide the three sects to fight, they really did everything. The disciple of our sect was deceived into a trap by beauty and was caught. Although this person is dizzy, he is indeed strong in martial arts and has a flexible mind. After he was caught, he did not panic, but calmed down, observed carefully, and dealt with it carefully, and I don't know the specific details. Anyway, in the end, he went through a lot of hardships to find the nearest contact point of the sect and told the academy what he knew and observed.

The three sects immediately contacted and organized a super strong team nearby, and under the leadership of this disciple, they returned to the place where he was imprisoned. It was actually the private residence of a high-ranking official, and the three sects sent the best people with light body martial arts to explore the way, but they found that it was an empty house and there was no one. The three sects sent people in to search carefully and found nothing, and finally relied on our greyhounds to find an anomaly in a place in the back garden. When I dug it up, it turned out that all the captives had been killed and buried here. ”

Liu Jizu gasped, "This group of people is too cruel!"

It is said that the three sects lost a total of nearly fifty disciples that time, and hundreds of disciples were killed and injured in the battle that followed, which can be described as a heavy loss. Since then, the sect has to explain this to the disciples who are outside, so that the disciples pay attention. ”

"Did the gang find it in the end?"

"No, this has become the first headless public case in the rivers and lakes. After the three sects found the body, they continued to track it down, and only then did they learn about what I said earlier. When the foreign alliance was traced, it was found that the alliance had been dissolved, and the original alliance members had also sold their businesses to unsuspecting people at a cheap price, and then fled from Da Zhou. Later, the three sects also sent disciples to visit abroad, but until today they have found nothing. Since then, the three sects have been offering rewards for those who can provide any clues, and the reward for the mission is still the highest. But after so many years, people have mostly forgotten that there is such a thing. ”

Liu Jizu listened but couldn't calm down for a long time, he intuitively felt that this matter was not over, but he didn't know what the consequences would be.

Wu Lun saw that he was stunned there, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he touched the equipment and continued: "Okay, I'm almost done, you can try this set of equipment and see if there are any problems." The weapons and equipment of Zhige City are recognized as the most sophisticated, but I don't think you were made by the sect. Eighty percent of them were made by the small sects they separated, and then they took back the sect to engrave the mark. ”

"What does it mean to engrave the mark?" Liu Jizu didn't understand.

"If you take a closer look at the hidden place inside each piece of equipment, there is a 'Wu' character engraved on it, that is the mark of their sect, and the word 'Wu' is the symbol of Zhige City. ”

Liu Jizu somewhat understood, "Then do we have a standard with Wuwei Valley?"

"Of course there is! Almost every sect has it, and the mark of our Lezhi Academy is the word 'book', and the word 'medicine' is the word for Wuwei Valley. In the future, whenever you see things engraved or printed with these marks, they are all more expensive if they flow out of the three sects. They are sold on the black market and in big cities, some of which are old and even precious, and can only be seen at some auctions, and they are all sky-high. ”

"Then what do you mean by saying that my set is the inscription of the sect from Zhige City?"

"How many people can there be in the city? So the production is very limited. Besides, they didn't have that much energy to produce these things, so they came up with this idea. After receiving this kind of order, give these small jobs to some small sects around. After those small sects are done, they can be transported back to Zhige City to engrave the mark, and they can be sold at a better price. ”

Liu Jizu opened his mouth wide in shock, and scolded: "There is actually an OEM now, isn't this him a liar?"

Wu Lun was puzzled when he heard it, "It can't be regarded as a lie, those small sects were also founded by the disciples of Zhige City, so they are technically passable, and they are not bad." Some small sects even do better because they have been making such simple instruments for a long time. Besides, Zhige City is a golden signboard, and they will inspect these goods when they collect them, and they will only engrave the mark if they pass the inspection. That mark can't be carved randomly, engraved mark means that it has been recognized by the sect, and the price is more than twice as expensive as the unengraved mark. Therefore, all famous sects attach great importance to the benchmarking, and if someone dares to carve or pretend privately, the consequences will be very serious.

I heard that many years ago, a small gate under the jurisdiction of Zhige City sent a young man who was very good at making weapons. He felt that the weapons and equipment he had made were better than Zhige City, but the same type of thing could not be sold for half the price of Zhige City, so he carved the label of Zhige City to sell it. I didn't expect that these things he made were really good, and the price was cheaper than that of Zhige City, so there was no need to wait, so many people came to him to buy them. As a result, after a long time, the matter was discovered by the people of Zhige City, so they began to investigate. In the end, that small sect was wiped out, and it is said that the person is still locked up in the dungeon of Zhige City, tortured every day, and he can't survive or die!"

Liu Jizu felt a chill in his neck when he heard this, and thought to himself that this city was really ruthless, how could there be a little bit of stopping the city. However, he is still very satisfied with this set of equipment on his body, the disadvantage is that it is heavy, which will affect his speed to a certain extent and consume more physical strength, but it is nothing for a person as strong as him. He had tried Master's set of equipment before, it was much lighter than his, and it was more comfortable to wear, and he thought that he would save enough money to get one in the future.

Wu Lun saw that Liu Jizu's equipment fit very well, so he got up and came to the cabinet in the corner of the room, and took out a leather bag from it, which was similar to the skin bag he was carrying, but it was new.

Wu Lun said to Liu Jizu: "Mr. Tian gave you equipment, it's not good to be too stingy as a teacher, so I'll give you this treasure bag again!"

Liu Jizu thanked him, and hurriedly took it over to take a closer look, only to see that this treasure bag was made of cowhide, which was sturdy and durable, and the shape was a bit like a modern waist bag. On the back of the upper and lower strands of leather is worn, the upper leather is one inch wide, and a palm-sized iron disc is inlaid in the upper middle of the front, and the corresponding position on the back is a double-sided leather armor of the same size and disc, and the upper and lower corners of the leather armor are opened. The width of the leather below is one and a half inches, and there are places on the top that make dark grooves with double leather, and some copper rings and hooks are also fixed, and both belts have belt buckles that can be adjusted in length, which is very convenient.

Wu Lun helped him tie the treasure bag, the upper strap crossed his right shoulder diagonally, and the lower strap was tied around his waist, and then adjusted the position of the disc and leather armor and fixed it on the front and back of the heart.

Wu Lun helped him tie his belt while preaching: "This treasure bag is very important to martial artists, and some people even say that warriors can walk the rivers and lakes without weapons, but they can't do without a treasure bag." The shape of the treasure bag is different, this kind of is dual-use, very strong. The metal plate in the front is a heart guard, and the leather armor in the back can protect the heart guard. The double layer of leather armor is to be strong and can play a role in strengthening protection, and the second is that there is an opening that can temporarily insert sword weapons or make a simple quiver.

The slots on the belt can be used to insert short knives or daggers, and the rings and hooks can be used to hang water bladders, flasks, swords, and the like. The position of the treasure bag can be adjusted appropriately, and the position should be adjusted before fighting with people to facilitate the removal of things. It is usually best to hide in the back or in the coat, so as not to reveal the identity of the Jianghu people, although they are not also carried by the Jianghu people. You take out the contents of the bag, and I'll tell you how to use it. ”

Liu Jizu found that this leather bag had a cover, and the word "book" was printed on the back corner of the cover, and the lid was stuck with a copper buckle, which could be opened with one hand. Liu Jizu tried it to see how it was convenient to take things, and then he reached out and took out the things inside, and there were actually a few partitions made of soft sheepskin.

There are ten things in total, including: a small fire sickle, a short knife with serrated teeth, a silk rope flying claw, a folding crossbow, a pair of chopsticks, a whetstone, a small bag of salt, a sewing kit, a first aid kit, and a pack of sweat medicine.
