Chapter 150: Iron Cage Mountain
After returning to the hussar camp, Xu Dong almost didn't stop, and explained the affairs of the camp to Chen Kun, Fang Lei and others, and hurried to Zisandalwood, which is located in the north of V City.
Xu Dong is no stranger to Zitanling, because he had come to Zitanling to visit Dan Kezhen before, but at that time, Dan Kezhen was ignored by Yan Laohu, depressed and resigned and returned to his hometown.
He came to Dan's armory shop and saw someone coming to the armory shop to customize weapons, but the armory shop was small but very famous, attracting many people to come.
Before Xu Dong walked into the workshop, he heard the sonorous hammering sound inside, one light and one heavy, and the rhythm was symmetrical and distinct.
When I entered the door and saw the two people striking iron, the one holding the hammer was an old man in his seventies, and he didn't need to guess to know that it was Dan Kezhen's father Dan Kang, and the younger one was his son Dan Xingyu.
Xu Dong planned to wait for them to beat a blank into shape, quench it and then approach to talk to others, but he didn't expect Xiao Xingyu to see him when he raised his face to sweat, and hurriedly told his grandfather to stop.
"Grandpa, look, this is what Daddy said about Mr. Xu Ying!"
Although the old man was over seventy years old, he was in good spirits, his face was full of red light, and there were dots of iron filings falling on his gray beard, and he put down his hammer and walked towards Xu Dong.
Xu Dong never imagined that the old man would pull Xiao Xingyu over, pat the iron filings on his body, and the old and the young knelt on the ground in unison.
"Benefactor, my benefactor!"
Xu Dong hurriedly bent down and helped the old man up, "Uncle, you are going to kill my Shouyang!"
The old man stood up tremblingly and said, "But my family has no roots and bones to become a Buddha at leisure, so I want to gain a little fame in the world with a set of ancestral marksmanship, and it is difficult to do so, if it is not ......."
As he spoke, the old man choked his throat because he was too excited, Xu Dong hurriedly beat the old man's chest and patted his back, and helped the old man sit down with Xiao Xingyu.
"If it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of your seventeenth horse master, my son Kezhen's martial arts would be in vain!"
Because Dan Kang said "Seventeen Horse Masters", Xiao Xingyu reminded his grandfather, "Grandpa, this is President Xu Ying!"
Normally, for the safety of the royal family, their true identities are concealed among the people, for example, now Dan Kang should not call Xu Dong "Seventeen Horse Lords", just in case someone assassinates.
The old man knew that he had slipped his mouth, but he was stubborn, "What if I said it? If anyone dares to misbehave in my family, I will fight with him for an old life!"
At this time, two or three people happened to come to the shop, and when they saw that the grandfather was passionate and generous, he hurriedly covered his mouth and went out.
Xu Dong turned his words to the main topic, "Uncle, I'm here to find ......"
But only then did Kang know that he remembered to be grateful and forgot about the business.
He looked at the door and saw that there was no one, turned around and walked to the anvil, picked up the hammer and knocked it on the side of the anvil three times, and then three more times at intervals, and the iron furnace slid forward to reveal a door three feet wide.
"Xingyu, lead your uncle into the Iron Cage Mountain!"
Xiao Xingyu was in front, Xu Dong followed, and entered the door behind the iron-making furnace, Xu Dong heard a few hammer blows, and when he looked back, the iron-making furnace returned to its original position.
Strangely enough, he could see through the red-hot hearth, but when he looked at the hearth from the front, he could not see a door inside.
He followed Xiao Xingyu through a dark passage, and the front suddenly opened up, it turned out that there was a small cave that outsiders could not see, there were two small houses here, a bamboo forest, and a large field.
Xiao Xingyu said, "This is the place where our Dan family practices guns, because we are afraid that someone will steal the art, so we specially built a big iron cage to surround it, and there are stones piled up outside the iron cage, which looks like an ordinary stone mountain." ”
Xu Dong understood, no wonder this place is called Iron Cage Mountain, it is really worthy of its name.
He thought, if you want to talk about safety, this place is obviously safer, and no one would have thought that there is another world in the belly of this stone mountain.
Xu Dong looked overhead, there was a cave above the 100 feet for lighting, like a patio, it was noon, bright sunlight leaked down from the patio, shining on the verdant bamboo leaves.
"Squeak!"
The door of a hut opened, and out of it came a young woman, whom Xu Dong didn't recognize at first, but when he looked closely, it was Ansula.
Ansula was sent here by Dan Kezhen a few days ago, he changed into Dan Kezhen's wife's clothes, and if he didn't look at her face carefully, he couldn't tell that it was a pure-blooded Dayue woman.
Xiao Xingyu was about to go back to the shop after bringing Xu Dong here, and Ansula stopped him, "Tell your grandma to send another mattress!", Xiao Xingyu agreed and walked away.
Xu Dong walked into the hut and saw a whole set of bedding on the bed, he blamed Ansula, "You have everything, why are you bothering people?"
Ansula said with a reason, "How about just a mattress, you can't sleep with me!"
Xu Dong didn't blush when he saw Ansula's face, and estimated that she was a woman who didn't know sex, so he teased her, "Didn't you say you wanted to marry me?
Ansura said seriously, "Then you have to wait until you practice the "Sand City Order", because you need to practice the "Sand City Order" to ...... To use ...... Virgin menstrual blood!"
After a while, a red-faced woman walked into the courtyard, Xu Dong recognized her as Dan Kezhen's wife, he called her "Dan's sister-in-law", and had eaten her cooking when he came to visit the "Gun Saint" before.
But the sister-in-law was holding a food cage in her left hand and a mattress on her right arm, and she handed the mattress to Ansula, "Sister, aren't you husband and wife?
Obviously, this woman didn't know that Xu Dong was a seventeen horse, and mistakenly regarded him and Ansula as husband and wife.
Ansula was not easy to explain, Xu Dong was busy playing a round, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood, we are senior brothers and sisters, and we use your house to study martial arts, you see, how good are we...... Stay together?"
But the sister-in-law was still skeptical, and she nodded sensibly.
Xu Dong now has such a good field, a full set of magic cheats of the "Shacheng Order", an original bronze mask, and a pure-blooded Dayue girl, he should be able to start construction.
Although the "Shacheng Order" is a legendary-level magic of the Western Regions, it incorporates elements of Taoism in the country of Luotuo, such as this talisman, which is a Taoist practice method.
Xu Dong can be said to know a little bit about talismans, he still has to learn from the beginning, he doesn't know how long it will take him to successfully make a talisman, as for practicing the "Sand City Order", it is even more difficult to have too high expectations.
In fact, Ansula came prepared, she specialized in learning talisman when she was a woman in Dayue and dressed as a man, although it is not perfect, but it can be regarded as proficient.
