Chapter Twenty-Three: The Ground List
In the center of the main road of Yicheng, there is a three-storey building covering an extremely wide area, and there is a horizontal plaque hanging on the main entrance, with three gilt characters on it - Vientiane Building!
In an alley a few tens of meters next to the Vientiane Building.
"Qingshan and I will go to Vientiane Tower, and you will go to Lao Wang in Qianjie and sell all the animal skins. Then, we meet in this alley. Teng Yongfan commanded, and then glanced at Teng Qinghu, "Qinghu, you haven't entered the Vientiane Building, do you want to go in and have a walk together?"
"Of course I want to!" Teng Qinghu said proudly.
"Then hand over the weapons to Lao Wang for temporary safekeeping. Teng Yongfan said, "Qingshan, you also hand over the gun, you are not allowed to bring weapons into the Vientiane Building." ”
"The rules are really big!" Teng Qingshan also handed over his iron gun to the clansmen.
Subsequently, Teng Yongfan, Teng Qingshan, and Teng Qinghu walked towards the Vientiane Building, and the two heroic women at the main entrance of the Vientiane Building were wearing swords at their waists and greeted every guest with a smile. At the same time, those guests were reminded not to bring weapons into the Vientiane Tower.
Teng Qingshan and the three of them were dressed as hunters and walked in directly, and the two women did not stop them.
"It's big enough. Teng Qinghu's eyes widened suddenly.
Teng Qingshan was also secretly shocked, the internal space of this Vientiane Building is huge, and there are counters everywhere, and the guys standing in the counters in this Vientiane Building alone will cost more than 100. And that's just the first floor.
"Qingshan, this Vientiane Building, the three sects and the nine streams can come in. Also, there's a lot of stuff here, everything you need. Teng Yongfan said with emotion, "This floor and the second floor are all for sale, as for the third floor...... Outsiders are not allowed in at all, but the price of good things is ridiculously expensive!"
Teng Qingshan looked at the counter, there were goods one by one, and secretly admired: "This Vientiane Building is atmospheric, and the precious items are placed directly outside, and there is no fear of people snatching and stealing!" Teng Qingshan swept his eyes and saw that in this Vientiane Building, in addition to ordinary guys, there were also some special patrol people.
"It is estimated that he is a master of internal strength to prevent someone from stealing. Teng Qingshan said secretly.
Teng Qinghu's eyes widened, staring at a bracelet next to him: "Isn't this a blue stone bracelet? We happened to collect a large piece of blue stone when we went into the mountain, and we sold it for a hundred taels of silver." Then a piece of blue flower stone is enough to make dozens of bracelets, but this one bracelet costs one hundred and twenty taels of silver. ”
The guy standing at the counter just glanced at Teng Qinghu with disdain.
At first glance, it is a poor mountain person, and it is impossible to buy these exquisite bracelets with such a dress.
"Alright, let's take a look inside. Teng Yongfan frowned, glared at Teng Qinghu, then stepped aside, lowered his voice and said, "Qinghu, don't be babbling, lose face, you know?"
Teng Qinghu smiled and said no more.
"Dad, what are you buying here?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"Buy some materials for making weapons, this time refining the Bihan knife has cost almost enough, it's time to buy some. There is no other place in Yicheng at all, only this one. Teng Yongfan then walked straight inside, "Let's go, go to the counter where weapons are made and take a look, so that you can open your eyes." ”
Ordinary men in the village, the first time they come to Vientiane Tower, they are all dumbfounded.
However, for Teng Qingshan, this is much smaller than those large shopping malls in his previous life, and the Vientiane Building, which has a lot fewer items than those in his previous life, will not surprise him much.
Teng Qingshan and a group of them came to the counter selling materials for manufacturing weapons.
"It's a lot of mess. Teng Qinghu muttered.
Indeed, the different pieces of metal on this counter, or stones, or even some powders, etc., in short, the things here look very inconspicuous. But the price is staggering.
"Aoyama, look. Teng Yongfan pointed to a silver metal block with special marks in front of the counter, "This is called star-patterned steel, and it should be said that it is the best toughness steel that can be refined today." It is the best material for making a spear barrel!Of course, the price is also very high. ”
The guy at the counter, seeing that Teng Yongfan knew the goods, praised himself: "This spear made of star-patterned steel is the legend that the invincible powerhouses who have reached the innate realm are difficult to break. ”
"Innate realm?" Teng Qingshan was secretly shocked.
Sure enough, as stated in "A Thousand Years of Chronicles", the era of abundant aura in heaven and earth can give birth to innate powerhouses.
"What!" Teng Qinghu glared, staring at a piece of paper under the small piece of star-patterned steel, "A pound of star-patterned steel costs a pound of gold?"
Teng Qingshan also looked at the price, secretly surprised.
In this world, the purchasing power of gold is very amazing, one or two star-striped steel is equal to one tael of gold, equal to one hundred taels of silver.
"Star-striped steel is very heavy, and to make a spear entirely from star-striped steel, at least 100 catties of star-striped steel are required. The fellow chuckled, "That's a hundred catties of gold, that is, 100,000 taels of silver! ”
Teng Qingshan gasped.
God, 100,000 taels of silver, making a gun, and the rest of Tengjiazhuang's money is only about 20,000 taels of silver.
"Millennial Cold Iron?" Teng Qingshan stared at a black stone next to the star-patterned steel, and a compelling cold air made people feel it before they touched it.
"Well, this thousand-year-old cold iron can't be smelted, and it's been dug up from various places. However, the price is much lower than that of star-patterned steel, and a pound of thousand-year-old cold iron requires two taels of gold!" Teng Yongfan said beside him, the price of thousand-year-old cold iron is two percent of star-patterned steel.
Of course, this is still not something Teng Qingshan and they can afford.
"These materials ......" Teng Qingshan admired in his heart, it is worthy of the era when the aura of heaven and earth is sufficient, and many magical materials can be bred, in the previous life, the material of the thousand-year-old cold iron was only described in books, and there was no such magical metal in modern society.
"Qingshan, you go to other places to take a look, I'll finish buying the materials, and then I'll call you to go together." Teng Yongfan said.
"Yes, Dad. ”
Teng Qingshan and his cousin Qinghu went to the other counters of the Vientiane Building to hang out together.
"Aoyama, Aoyama. Teng Qinghu suddenly pulled Teng Qingshan a few times, Teng Qingshan looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?" At the same time, following Teng Qinghu's gaze, he looked towards the main entrance of the Vientiane Building, and saw a handsome man in a water blue robe and a cute girl in a white mink fur walked into the Vientiane Building together.
Behind them, there were guards, servants.
"It's the daughter of the great salt merchant. Teng Qinghu lowered his voice and said.
"It's her. Teng Qingshan also appeared, but his attention was more on the man, "It's a cold winter now, but that handsome young man is only wearing a long shirt, and it's not cold at all." It seems that he is a master of cultivating internal strength. ”
"Aoyama. Teng Qinghu secretly looked into the distance, lowered his voice and said, "This young lady is different from the mountain girl in our village, you see the white skin and ...... face It's more tender than the girl in the green building. Teng Qinghu's words made Teng Qingshan cry and laugh.
"You want to see, look closely, peek at it from a distance, go back to the village, you won't be able to see it in the future. Teng Qingshan said with a smile.
The girls in the mountains have been working since they were children, and they are exposed to the wind and sun, how can they compare with these rich ladies who come to stretch their hands in clothes and open their mouths for food?
"Well, look closer. Teng Qinghu was really bold, and he really walked over there.
......
"Brother Liu, you and I brag about how powerful you are, then let me ask you, is there your name on this hidden dragon list?" When he got closer, Teng Qingshan heard that the salt merchant's daughter was asking the young man in green shirts.
"Qing Yu, the one who can be on the hidden dragon list, that is one of the few heroes in the entire world and Kyushu, which one hasn't cultivated internal strength since he was a child? I'm late in cultivating...... However, I don't care about the hidden dragon list, my ambition is to be on the list!
The salt merchant's daughter 'Li Qingyu' covered her mouth and laughed: "I can't be on the hidden dragon list, but I still want to be on the ground list?"
The young man's face turned a little red: "Qingyu, don't make fun of me, this is just an ambition! Also, my senior brother of Qinghu Island, that is a generation of heroes who are on the Hidden Dragon List and the Earth List at the same time, what about you Guiyuan Sect? On the Qianlong List and the Earth List, there is no one in your Guiyuan Sect." ”
"Your senior brother is powerful, and it's not that you're powerful. Qingyu snorted.
"Okay, Qingyu, don't be angry. The young man coaxed, "Aren't you going to buy the Hidden Dragon List and the Young Phoenix List?" ”
Teng Qingshan clearly saw that the guy took out four line-bound books, each of which was at least one finger thick, and the top one had three big characters on it - 'Hidden Dragon List'. Then the servant behind the young man immediately paid for four silver tickets of one hundred taels.
"Four hundred taels?" Teng Qingshan was secretly shocked in his heart, "Four books are only four hundred taels, why is it so expensive?"
Books should be very cheap.
The pair of handsome men and beauties also walked towards the other counters, but Teng Qingshan came to the counter where the books were sold just now, and the most eye-catching were the three books, these three books were "Hidden Dragon List", "Young Phoenix List" and "Ground List", among which "Hidden Dragon List" and "Young Phoenix List" are very thick, only "Ground List" is very thin.
Among them, the first two books are worth 100 taels of silver each, while the "Land List" is 10 taels of silver.
"What are these three books?" Teng Qingshan asked.
The guy in the store glanced at Teng Qingshan, who was still a teenager, and said with a smile: "Little guy, these three books describe the famous heroes in the land of Kyushu, as well as their biographical stories." If you want to buy it, ask your family for silver. "Most of the people who buy these books are people who practice internal strength, or the children of rich families who worship martial artists, so these books are extremely expensive.
Teng Qingshan's heart moved.
Although now, he knows that there are eight major sects in the land of Kyushu, but many things, he is still ignorant.
"I bought the copy of "Land List". Teng Qingshan said, and at the same time took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his arms.
As the leader of the hunter team in the clan, he will give ten taels of silver every month. In the clan, the leader of the hunter team, the marksman, and the first blacksmith contributed the most in the clan and gave the most silver. In fact, the monthly salary is ten taels of silver, which is still lower than some guards in Yicheng.
It's just that they serve the clan after all, and it is impossible to ask for much more.
"Qingshan, ten taels of silver for a book?" Teng Qinghu next to him, as soon as he diverted his attention from the salt merchant's daughter, Teng Qingshan spent ten taels of silver to buy a book.
"To me, this book is worth the price. Teng Qingshan smiled and took the book from the buddy.
"Hmph, your father knows, and will definitely say you. Teng Qinghu pouted.
But Teng Qingshan stood there and flipped through the book.
