"Fish Scale Soft Armor?!" Pan Suxuan nodded silently. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Niantong shook his head and said, "How can it be a fish scale soft armor? Hasn't this treasure been lost for a full thirty years? Senior brother, you have never seen it, how can you be sure that he is wearing one of the three treasures of this sect, fish scale soft armor?"

Pan Suxuan said: "Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I have heard the master tell me about the origin of this treasure. The fish scale soft armor is made of the scales of the king of fish of the North Sea, the Kun Immortal. It is said that this Kunming is located in the deep sea, with a body as long as a boat, a strong body like a cow, day and night, and a life span of 100 years. And this thing is extremely intelligent, very difficult to catch, and ordinary methods such as bait and netting are of no avail. In order to catch this thing, the old palace master lived in Beihai for ten years, hired more than 100 local fishing experts with a lot of money, and successively caught it in three large-scale round-ups. ”

Zhao Niantong asked: "The old palace master has been in Beihai for so many years, why has he been arrested three times? Shouldn't he be arrested ten times or eight times? Is it true that every round-up has to be prepared for so long?"

Pan Suxuan replied: "Of course, it won't take so long if it's just preparation, but this thing is extremely cunning, and it will be difficult to take the bait if it can't be entrapped once." After the first round-up of the old palace lord failed, Kun Ming dived into the deep sea and disappeared for three years. The second round-up was due to the sudden appearance of Kun Ming, who was not well prepared and rushed to achieve the results, so he returned again with a feather. It has not been heard from for five years. Five years later, it was also an accident that Kun Ming was brought out again. ”

Zhao Niantong said curiously: "What is the accident?" Pan Suxuan said: "The old palace master has been in the Beihai Sea for many years, although he has not caught Kunming, but he has also become an expert in wrenching and fishing. In the tenth year, he captured another giant beast of the depths, the king squid.

Zhao Niantong said: "What kind of monster is that? Is it very powerful?" Pan Suxuan said: "This is Kunming's sworn enemy, and it is also one of his favorite foods." I heard the master say that the adult king squid is no less than Kun Ming, and the two are natural enemies of each other in the sea. The king squid captured by the old palace master is still in its infancy, and its meat is tender and juicy, which is Kunming's favorite delicacy. With this as bait, the Kun Ming was lured out and finally caught. On that day, the old palace lord and many fishermen used twelve large boats to drag Kun Ming to the shore, and it was only with eight four-passenger carriages and more than forty strong men that it was transported ashore. The scales of Kunming are extremely hard, but the soft scales of the abdomen are as soft as silk, which is the best material for clothing. The old palace master took out the soft scales and mixed them with a thousand taels of gold thread, and it took Feng Cai, known as the "first needle in the south of the Yangtze River", three years to make this invulnerable treasure of the town faction.

Zhao Niantong said: "It took ten years to catch fish, and another three years to make clothes, and it was not worth it to exhaust these thirteen years just for an armor that can block knives and guns?"

Pan Suxuan said: "This treasure can not only block knives and guns, but also protect all the big points around the body, from being injured by hidden weapons and finger power." What's even more rare is that this thing is waterproof and fire-resistant, the wearer can gallop into the flames, and can go down to the five oceans, do you say it is a treasure?"

Zhao Niantong said: "Even if it is invulnerable, water and fire, why did the old palace master spend so much manpower and financial resources to make a treasure armor that he almost didn't need in his twilight years?"

Pan Suxuan nodded and said, "Senior sister, what you said makes sense. I want to use the martial arts of the old palace master, although it is not the sole domination of the martial arts and the bull's ear of the world, but it is also the pinnacle of the world, and there are few opponents. How could his old man go to the twilight of his life to build such a treasure?"

Zhao Niantong smiled and said: "Haha, our eldest son Pan was also asked by me, it's really rare, rare! Besides, what did you just call me? Who is your junior sister?"

Pan Suxuan fixed his eyes and looked at it, Zhao Niantong in front of him was dressed as a handsome scholar, looking at himself with apricot eyes and a smile, although he was dressed in men's clothes, but he added a little bit of aura, he couldn't help but move in his heart, his face was red, thinking that there were many people here, it was not appropriate to expose Zhao Niantong's identity as a woman, so he hurriedly said: "It's my slip of the tongue, Brother Zhao is smiling......"

Zhao Niantong laughed and said: "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, Brother Pan can be careful next time." Let's get down to business, Brother Pan, you only know the origin of the soft armor, but how can you be sure that this young man is wearing it?"

Pan Suxuan said: "I just used the Xuanming finger power to point the young man's Zusanli, not only did I not hurt him, but I was injured by the finger force. With that, he slowly raised his right hand.

Zhao Niantong looked at Pan Suxuan's fingers, and sure enough, the index finger of his right hand was slightly blackened, which was a symptom of Xuanxuan's finger power. Pan Suxuan said: "This fish scale soft armor can not only resist the attacker's tricks, but also act on the attacker itself, which is the so-called way of others and from others." There is no second treasure in the world. ”

Zhao Niantong said: "That's strange, this treasure armor disappeared in the second year after the death of the old palace master immortal, and the whole three thousand disciples were sent to find Yue Yu to no avail." I heard that the palace master was furious about this matter, and abolished the red-clothed first disciple Ning Senior Brother who was responsible for guarding the temple, demoted him to a disciple in Tsing Yi and imprisoned him in the bitter cold cave of the back mountain, and even Elder Shenmu was implicated. How can you be here today?"

Pan Suxuan said: "That's true, at the beginning, Elder Shenmu was in charge of guarding the palace, and the temple where the treasure armor was located was designed and supervised by him. The temple is full of traps, and the outside of the temple is heavily guarded and heavily guarded, how this fish-scale soft armor disappeared without a trace in this heaven and earth net, it is indeed incredible. Unless ......"

Zhao Niantong said: "Unless there is an internal ghost?"

Pan Suxuan said: "Well, there is only this one possibility. I think the palace master also thought about it this way at that time, and the most suspicious ones were Senior Brother Ning and Elder Shenmu, so they punished the two of them heavily. ”

Zhao Niantong said: "No wonder, since I can remember, I have felt that Elder Shenmu has few words and is depressed every day, it turns out that this is the reason. But more than 20 years have passed since this incident, and it is time to stop it. By the way, if we can successfully recapture the fish scale soft armor this time, wouldn't it be a great achievement to return to the palace?"

Pan Suxuan said: "Well, even if you can't take it back, it's good to know the whereabouts of the treasure armor and report it to the palace master." ”

Zhao Niantong said loudly: "Then what are you waiting for, let's set off quickly!"

Pan Suxuan shook his head and said, "How easy is it to find someone in this huge Jinling City?"

Zhao Niantong grinned and said, "Brother Pan, have you forgotten that I have a trace?!"

Pan Suxuan was surprised: "When did you scatter the mystery on this young man, why didn't I even notice it?"

Zhao Niantong said: "Of course he doesn't have it on him, but he has an item that belongs to me, so it's okay to have it on it." ”

Pan Suxuan suddenly realized: "You mean the jade pendant?

Zhao Niantong said: "Exactly." Brother Pan, you always say that I am lost, and when I go out with you, I don't want to be reprimanded by you for losing things. Although this jade pendant is not the best product, I also like it very much, so when I bought it, I sprinkled it with a trail on it. I didn't expect this unintentional move to help a lot now. ”

Pan Suxuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, you are really prescient. Without further ado, let's hurry up. ”

This maze is made of a unique plant on the Shennu Peak of Caixia Palace, which can exude a unique aroma and attract nomadic ants to come to forage on the Shennu Peak. Taking advantage of this characteristic, the people of Caixia Palace generally carry a trail and a few nomadic ants when they descend the mountain, which can be used to track and get out when they are lost.

Zhao Niantong took out a boxy box from his arms, opened the lid of the box, and released two nomadic ants. The nomadic ant spun around the ground twice, and after a slight hesitation, crawled in a northwesterly direction.

Pan Zhao and the others followed, walked out of more than ten miles, and came to the door of a large mansion, where nomadic ants disappeared into the grass at the corner gate.

When the two looked up, they saw two big characters hanging in the middle of the door of the mansion - "Chen Mansion". Outside the gate of the mansion, there are four doormen on the left and right, holding waist knives in their hands, and their big bellies are staring coldly at passers-by.

As soon as Pan Suxuan saw the two words on the door, his heart moved, and he secretly thought: "This time I went down the mountain, and the master instructed us to hand over his old man's handwritten letter to a senior surnamed Chen in the Jinling official mansion before the tenth day of the first month of March.

Just thinking about it, I heard Zhao Niantong say: "That's it, let's go in and arrest this kid." ”

Pan Suxuan said: "Don't be busy, this is not an ordinary place, you can't trespass." ”

Zhao Niantong said: "Brother Pan, why did you suddenly become so timid as a mouse? What kind of place is this? What can't you break into? Could it be that the inner courtyard of the palace can't be found?"

Pan Suxuan said: "It's not the inner courtyard of the palace, but it's also a noble family." Let's not talk about the scale and magnanimity of this courtyard, but you can see the knowledge from the gate of this mansion. ”

Zhao Niantong was puzzled: "In addition to the huge size of this mansion, what else is special about this mansion?"

Pan Suxuan said: "There is nothing different about the door itself, but the nail on the door reveals the identity of the owner. ”

Zhao Niantong shook his head and said, "What's so strange about the door nails?" Brother Pan, don't sell it, what's going on?"

Pan Suxuan smiled and said: "There are a total of nine vertical and horizontal seven - sixty-three door nails on each door here, and the door of the Son of Heaven is nine vertical and horizontal nine - a total of eighty-one door nails, taking the meaning of ninety-nine to one." The identity of the master of this mansion is only slightly inferior to that of today's son, and it stands to reason that it should be the identity of a prince or a concubine. But my surname is Song, and the owner here is surnamed Chen, so it shouldn't be the prince's mansion.

Today, the saint is young, although he has been married but has not yet given birth to an heir, and the concubines of several eldest princesses have never heard of anyone surnamed Chen. It can be seen that the owner of this mansion must be an important minister with close ties with the royal family. Judging from the valve reading and door hairpin at this gate, this should be a military general's mansion, and the mansion of a person who practices martial arts must be heavily guarded. It's so heavy, Brother Zhao, do you think we should trespass?"

Zhao Niantong was so stunned when he was asked, he said hesitantly: "This ...... That...... What do you think we should do?"

Pan Suxuan said: "Don't move, let's probe and probe." ”

Before the words fell, I saw the corner door on the west side of the main entrance creak open, and two good-looking women walked out one after the other. The woman walking in front was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed as a maid of an official eunuch, wearing a green coat, and turned back to tell the girl behind her something as she walked. The girl who followed behind looked sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a sky-blue dress, bowing her head and shoulders, walking with broken steps, nodding her head from time to time to meet the woman in front of her.

Seeing this, Pan Suxuan glanced at Zhao Niantong, and the two understood and quietly followed.

After walking a short distance, the two women in front stopped at the door of a cloth village, the older woman pointed to the plaque of the cloth village and said something, and the girl in the back kept nodding.

Pan Suxuan looked up and saw that the plaque read "Chai Ji Buzhuang". The two women spoke under the plaque for a while, and then slowly walked into the cloth village one after the other.

Zhao Niantong tugged at his cuffs and whispered, "Senior brother, you wait at the door, I'll go in and see the situation." ”

Pan Suxuan said: "I will go with you." ”

Zhao Niantong said with a smile: "Senior brother, are you also proficient in the matter of this embroidery room maid?"

Pan Suxuan's face turned red, thinking that he really didn't know anything about this matter, and at this time, he and Zhao Niantong were both dressed in men's clothes, and it would be suspicious for the two men to go to Buzhuang together, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, Brother Zhao, be careful." ”

Zhao Niantong smiled at him, turned around and lifted his robe, shook the fan in his hand, and walked closer to the store.
