Chapter 52: The Arsenal of the Chang'an Division
According to legend, there are only nine heavenly classics in the world that can be qualified to be called true scriptures.
Nine is the extreme, like this kind of thing, it is impossible to survive too much, because once anything reaches the extreme, it will be intolerable by heaven and earth, so this statement is also recognized by many martial artists, but it is only the name of the nine heavenly products, but it is not enough for outsiders.
The whole book of the Heavenly True Scripture is said to be a shortcut that can refer to the pinnacle of martial arts, a peerless treasure coveted by countless martial artists.
The pinnacle mentioned here is the new realm above the nine-grade eighteen-realm, which is equivalent to the great true person of the Taoist feather and ascending to the immortal, so a complete book of heavenly products is even enough to attract a first-grade martial artist to make a move, even if it is just to attack the jade with the stone of the mountain, you have to find it and read it.
It's a pity that most of these heavenly products have disappeared quietly in the long history, or only a small part remains, it is said that in the Chang'an arsenal, there are five heavenly scriptures, but not all of them are complete.
And the importance of the Heavenly Classics is destined to be not something that everyone can see if they want to see it.
Not to mention the exchange for the entire rare book, even if it is just a loan, the price required is unimaginable, and even Lao Wang himself does not know the real price, he just said casually before, if you want to really borrow the whole book, let alone ten years, maybe he will have to sell it to Chang'an Division in this life, including the next life.
One hundred and fifty years ago, there was an ancestor who had made outstanding achievements and was one of the twelve heroes of the founding of Lingyan Pavilion who wanted to exchange for the right to borrow a complete Tianpin True Scripture for future generations, and was laughed at by the people who had a comradeship at that time, and was also one of the earliest founders of the martial arts division of Daluo Town, who laughed and said that the other party was equal to half dry in the first half of his life, which shows that it takes as much merit as much as to read a whole Tianpin True Scripture.
In the more than 150 years of Daluo's history, these five Heavenly True Scriptures have been read only a handful of times, and even the Martial Governor of their Chang'an Division only has the right to look at the ground products and below at will.
As for who has silently guarded this rule for more than 150 years and not allowed anyone to cross the thunder pond by half a step, it is another story.
-------
The famous Chang'an arsenal is located in the rear of the Chang'an Division, surrounded by high walls, lookouts, beacon towers, all available, on the surrounding high walls, not only there are three Shangsanpin's Chang'an Siwu Marquis who are guarding here all the year round, but also a thousand Xuanjia troops are stationed here, ready to be dispatched at any time.
In the center of the wall, there is a five-storey high, which does not look like the Central Plains at all, has no edges and corners, but is a cylindrical tower that is completely integrated.
The whole body of the tower is black, and it is impossible to see what material it is made of, and all around it, it is full of water, and there is no bottom in it, and there are occasionally huge black shadows swimming inside, but I don't know what it is, like an island in the ocean, and the only thing that connects it with the outside world is a stone bridge that has stood silently for one hundred and fifty years.
Lao Wang is actually no stranger to this place, on the contrary, he has come far more than ordinary people.
Because of the realm he sought, he needed to read a large number of Xuanpin Law Decisions and Huangpin stunts, and from these dross, he extracted a little bit of the true meaning of the soldier, and then used this to integrate it into his own body and carve out a path that belonged to him, so the number of times he came here was not small, it should be said that every once in a while, he would come over in exchange for the secret book of the Peerless Learning.
It's just that he doesn't really like to come here.
This cylindrical five-story tower, with not even a single window open, looks like a solid pillar from a distance, and if it weren't for the door still open underneath, and the surrounding area is this heavily guarded appearance, people may believe that it is an ordinary kiln.
And Lao Wang still remembered that the tower had always been very dark, even his eyesight could not see far, and even his true intent with a soldier's and sharp divine will was completely suppressed by the invisible, and even his eyes were not as good as his eyes here.
This is the famous Chang'an arsenal that was once known as the holy land of martial artists in the world.
But this is such a long history, the stakes are very important, and the things hidden are not only in the arsenal tower that can be described as priceless, but there is only one old man who is not very tall here all the year round, and after so many years, he has never seen a second person, and no one has seen him leave here.
The old man was cold, according to Lao Wang, it was really a hundred times more terrifying than Xiao Pei Du, he stood there, as if he was a dried corpse, Lao Wang even felt that he might be a dead man, and this arsenal containing countless precious secret books was his grave bag.
It is said that he had been here as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Chang'an Division, that is, one hundred and fifty years ago, and it is said that at that time, he was already this half-dead appearance and had never changed.
You know, even a first-class martial artist only has a lifespan of three Jiazi, so what is he?
Nine products and eighteen realms go up again?
At this point, Lao Wang didn't dare to think about it.
When we met again, the old man was still wearing a black dress that I don't know how many years he had been wearing, but he was still clean, just like a corpse after being buried, but he was standing behind the counter, with his head down, his eyelids drooping, his face expressionless, in front of him, there were a lot of ledgers, who had been here before, and took away some of the secret books, and that's it.
It's boring, but Lao Wang doesn't know why, every time he comes here, he feels that he is a grandson, and the one opposite is the real uncle, like a mouse seeing a cat, and he is scared, and he has to behave obediently.
It was pitch black all around, and I could only rely on the light of the candlesticks on the table to faintly see the peerless cheats on the rows of shelves hovering over them.
Lao Wang stood here, rare and a little restrained, he shrunk his head, like a child dressed in tatters, holding two copper coins that he had finally asked for, lying on the counter to find the boss to buy sugar gourds, and said cautiously: "Old Yuan, I want to borrow a book of heavenly scriptures." ”
Lao Wang dared to guarantee that this was the first time he had come here so many times, and the first time he saw the old man take the initiative to raise his head and look at him, but there was still no expression on his old face, but Lao Wang always felt that his whole body was seen through by the other party, and even what he was thinking now, the other party already knew everything about it.
He quickly added: "I know that my credit is not enough for the time being, but I can also ask the price first, right? ”
Yuan Lao just looked at him, didn't speak, Lao Wang suddenly shrank even more, it was hard to imagine that he could shrink into such a pitiful appearance as a big man, he was obviously taller than the old man, but he had to be shorter, look up at him, and then tentatively said the name of the Tianpin Sutra.
"Only to the remnants of the fourth grade, and then stay for another forty years. ”
Yuan Lao's words were concise and to the point, and he also felt that he was too nervous Lao Wang wanted to smile to ease the atmosphere, but he couldn't laugh, so he had to whisper again: "Yuan Lao, is it okay to record that kid's account?" He will definitely join our Chang'an Division anyway, since he borrowed it himself in advance, let him pay it off." ”
The old man lowered his head and said a rare second sentence.
"Bring him here. ”
Lao Wang was slightly stunned, and asked with some curiosity: "Does Yuan Lao have a heart for talent?"
The old man didn't answer, just waved his hand, and the heavy door behind him was directly separated, and at the same time that the outside light came in, Lao Wang had already flown out without resistance, but when he was in the air, he still remembered and shouted out: "Old Yuan, I also want a copy of "Heavenly Death Fist"!"
The next moment, an ordinary wooden box flew out and landed directly on Lao Wang's chest, and the latter was sent to the other end of the stone bridge, and the huge force that could not be stopped and could not find the source at all finally disappeared.
Lao Wang stretched out his hand and grabbed the wooden box sent by the other party with the Xuanpin Law Decisive "Heavenly Death Fist", and after shaking his head helplessly, he didn't dare to say more than half a word, so he had to leave in a gloomy manner.
-------
On this side, Li Qingchen left directly after telling Lao Wang his requirements, after all, he was not qualified to go directly to the arsenal to select and read, these out-of-the-ordinary things, naturally he could only let Lao Wang do it for him, and he left first.
When I returned to the inn, there were already many people waiting outside the door, and they looked like people, all of them were from various families, and they no longer looked like domestic servants, and all of them had risen a big step in terms of dress and conversational temperament.
This is also normal, Li Qingchen's opponent Zhang Zangxiang may not be known by many people, even if he is ranked above the list of Hanging Mirror Divisions, but those who don't know how good they will never think how powerful the so-called ranking is, but in the end, they saw that game with their own eyes, even if they only heard about it afterwards, everyone was very interested in this teenager who almost had an "immortal body".
Even if a hand is missing, it is not comparable to the ordinary five grades, not to mention that now that the other party has even connected the broken hand, he is shocked, but he also feels that this person must have to be won over, maybe he will be a third-grade martial artist in less than twenty years, and then there will be another top combat power in the family, and the power can expand rapidly.
Besides, it's not just him, I heard that there is also a cold-faced young man living in this inn, and his strength is even better, after three games, he won the opponent with a devastating attitude, and the one who won today was the younger brother of the Pei family's demon king of the world, which is also worth wooing.
Even if they had heard that the other party had a quarrel with the people of Uncle Guo's Mansion, and they were even more well-informed, knowing that one of Uncle Guo's righteous sons died in the backyard of this inn, even if they risked offending Uncle Guo's Mansion, as long as they attracted these talented young martial artists, it would be worth it.
Taking a step back, a nouveau riche in the imperial court is far from worthy of the fear or worry of these wealthy lords of the family with an orderly lineage.
