Volume 23 The Strange Shop
The shop pรน is not big, but the types of weapons are complete, basically commonly used weapons are available, as for the quality, Mingxuan really didn't see any difference from other shops, and the price is much more expensive than other stores, the guys in the store saw Mingxuan come in and didn't come up to solicit, after a glance, he was busy with himself, no wonder it was deserted here.
"You can also look at the signboard outside, there is a price sign next to each weapon, if you like it, you can come and pay the bill directly, and if you don't like it, go to another house." The guy dropped a sentence and ignored Ming Xuan.
Ming Xuan took a closer look at the swords placed in the shop, on the surface, there was really nothing peculiar, and it was not even as exquisite as other shops in appearance, but when Ming Xuan held the sword, the feeling was completely different, and a strong throbbing feeling suddenly rose, far stronger than what Ming Xuan had felt before!
It seems that everything can't be judged from the outside, if you look at these weapons with a simple appreciative eye, you may really not get any good conclusions, but Mingxuan is different, he can perceive it with his true feelings in his heart, although it seems to be very ethereal, but Mingxuan has always been very confident in his feelings, and he will never be wrong, so he discovered the mystery, no wonder the store posted a "three don't sell" sign in front of the door, it seems that he just doesn't want the pearl to be buried, but to sell the weapon to people who really know the goods.
"Dude, I want this sword!" Now it seems that the price of this sword is more than worth it.
"Wait, the guest officer should have seen the sign in front of our store. "It's so strange that the guy stopped Ming Xuan from paying the bill at this time.
"See, what's the problem?" and I didn't want to do the business of delivering to the door, Mingxuan was an eye-opener.
"Then the little one wants to ask the guest officer, why did you buy this sword?" said the guy with a smile, it seems that he is quite happy to have a business, but the rules still have to be followed.
"It's simple, because it's worth the price. Mingxuan told the truth.
"Then why is it worth the price?" Ming Xuan's answer made the guy speechless.
"This ......" held Ming Xuan back, he really couldn't tell what was so good about this sword, could it be that it was because he felt very good, this obviously didn't work.
"Because this sword is cast from black cloud iron, the black cloud iron body is black, so the surface of the sword looks unpretentious, and the melting point of black cloud iron is extremely high, and there are many impurities, it is not easy to refine, and it is difficult to form, but if it is forged, it is not only high strength and excellent toughness, if it is cast as a sword, the edge is extremely sharp, and it can be sharpened like clay, and it can be ranked among the top grade swords, and this sword has obviously undergone complex casting treatment and careful polishing, and it is already a great bargain to sell at this price!" A voice floated from the door of the store, answering the question for Mingxuan.
Turning his head, a young man in a gorgeous costume stood at the door, looking no older than Ming Xuan, his complexion was fair, his facial features were delicate with a touch of handsomeness, the slanted sword eyebrows, the slender and sharp black eyes, the thin and lightly pursed lips, the angular outline, the slender and tall but not rough figure, exuding a unique temperament, making people feel like a spring breeze with a trace of coldness. There is also his own unique ethereal and handsome, so that people like Mingxuan, who don't care much about people's appearance and temperament, are attracted, and feel a little ashamed.
"Young Master Ou, you're here!" The guy obviously knew this young man, and immediately greeted him warmly.
"Little brother, don't blame me, I'm also quick to talk, and I said everything that the little brother wants to say, forgive me!" The young man apologized insincerely, and secretly winked at Ming Xuan, looking very naughty, and he knew that it was done on purpose.
"Uncle Liu is really, such a strange family rule has always been kept, and the business delivered to the door has to be pushed out!" The young man said with a smile, it seemed that he was not only relieving Mingxuan, but also wanted to make this business for the store.
"This little one can't be the master, Young Master Ou, wait a minute, I'll go and ask the owner to come out. After the man saluted respectfully, he entered the inner hall, and it seemed that this man's status was not low.
"My name is Ou Zhiyang, I don't know what to call the little brother?" the young man greeted warmly.
"My name is Gu Mingxuan, and I've met Brother Ou. Ming Xuan was polite to him, and he also had a good impression.
Ou Zhiyang is obviously a person who is good at communicating, although it is only the first time they meet, and Mingxuan is still not a person who talks much, they can talk enthusiastically, and there is no strangeness, and they have a good conversation for a while.
"What kind of wind blew our Second Young Master Ou to my small shop! It's really a rare customer!" An old man in a gray robe who was about sixty years old walked out of the inner hall with a smile, obviously the owner of this shop, before anyone arrived, the words arrived, and it seemed that he was very happy to see the young man.
"The little nephew has seen Uncle Liu. Ou Zhiyang respectfully performed a junior salute, which looked like the rules of a big family.
"Okay, good, Zhiyang, you've been here for three years, and you're not willing to come back until now!" the old man smiled.
"The rules of the division are very strict, and the little nephew has no choice. Ou Zhiyang smiled lightly, looking complaining.
"Let's talk later, but don't neglect my guests! The old man smiled and turned around and asked kindly.
"It's down there. "Ming Xuan follows the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, although he is young, he does not let people despise him.
"Oh, dare to ask the little brother, why did you buy a mediocre sword?" The old man did not doubt Ou Zhiyang's vision, but he was indeed a little surprised to see that Ming Xuan could also discover the mystery of his sword forging at a young age.
"I don't know what Brother Ou said before. Mingxuan was telling the truth. "I just thought it was a good sword, so I wanted to buy it. โ
"Well, the little brother is also a sincere person. For Ming Xuan's confession, the old man smiled and couldn't say anything, but it was a bit incredible to rely on it completely, after all, the price of this sword was a lot of money, not to mention that he was only a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
"Although I don't know what the mystery of this sword is, I really think it's a good sword!" Ming Xuan's words were sincere, he really liked this sword, and he really wanted to buy it.
"The so-called soldier is the death of a confidant, my small shop, there are a lot of people who come and go every day, but there are not many people who really know the goods, since the little brother can see this sword, I will sell it to you!" Although it is not said that his so-called feeling is unreliable, at least he is not an illiterate person, and it is worth selling it to Ming Xuan.
......
After seeing Ming Xuan leave, the old man's face, which was still smiling just now, gradually became solemn, and after sighing softly, he said slowly.
"You've been under the Loose Gate for three years, and it seems that you have gained something. โ
"The little nephew was fortunate to be accepted by Elder Xuanye and became a close disciple of his old man's family. Ou Zhiyang also put away the smile on his face.
"Did you get the Qingluan blood?" said the old man with a slight heartbeat.
Not only that, but yesterday my father also bought some multicolored stones from Gongcheng. Ou Zhiyang said solemnly.
"Colorful Stone! It seems that your father's determination to reforge the Qingling Sword has not wavered in the slightest!" the old man gently stroked the weapon beside him, but there was a complicated look in his eyes.
"This is my father's lifelong wish! How could he give up lightly, now all the materials are complete, this time my father sent his little nephew Qian to invite Uncle Liu to Oujiazhuang to discuss matters related to recasting, after all, there are only less than ten years before the opening of the sword mound, and it is better to start the recasting as soon as possible. Speaking of this, Ou Zhiyang's face was also a little dignified.
"Alas, what a wrong!" the old man stared into the distance, but his expression was full of lingering pain.
......
"Little brother, where did you go, it will be easy for me to find it. As soon as Ming Xuan stepped into the teahouse, he was discovered by Liu Dali.
"I see that you have fallen into the gentle country, how can you remember me. Mingxuan teased him in turn.
"Look at what you said, am I like that kind of person?" Even a person with a thicker face than Liu Dali couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he encountered this.
"No, it's not at all!By the way, what about the boss lady?" Seeing Liu Dali like this, Ming Xuan was embarrassed to continue ridiculing and changed the topic.
"She is the hostess, so naturally she went to greet the guests. As soon as he saw that Mingxuan didn't mention it anymore, Liu Dali immediately returned to normal again, and his thick skin was unheard of.
"Then when did you two get better?" Seeing that Liu Dali was restored to his original state, Ming Xuan couldn't help but start teasing him.
"It's a long story. Liu Dali was unusual, filled a cup of tea with himself, and drank it leisurely.
"In fact, when I first came to Boiling City to learn art, by chance, I saw her in the teahouse, and her shadow lingered in my mind, she was just a little girl at that time, jumping up and down in the teahouse every day to help, and I was just a hairy young man, although I didn't make much money every day, but almost all the money was spent here to drink tea, just wanted to come and see her, but I didn't dare to ask for anything else, at that time her father was the owner of the teahouse, and there was a good industry, and I was just a primary school apprentice, it was good to have a full meal every dayใ Liu Dali stared at the teacup, as if he had returned to the past.
Later, his father married her to Xu Shantong, the young owner of Xujia Tiezhuang in the city, and the life was very happy, and I silently blessed them, and then I also became a family in Gongcheng, I thought that our fate would end here, but the missing mystery happened twenty years ago, Xu Shantong was also among them, Xu Jia Tiezhuang slowly declined because of this matter, and she returned to the teahouse, and began to take over his father to take care of the teahouse again, although I have no feelings for her, but I can only be polite. Liu Dali said slowly, but in just a few words, he said his past twenty years.
"Later, my wife died five years ago because of her frailty, and I guarded her for three years, and then I couldn't resist the instigation of other people in Tiezhuang, and began to pursue her, and gradually she was moved by my sincerity, which is what you will see later. Liu Dali said embarrassedly.
"Then what will you do in the future?" I didn't expect that a man with five big and three rough colors would have such a tender side.
"As long as I wait for another year, I will resign to the owner, marry her, and then take care of the teahouse together!" Speaking of this, Liu Dali did not have a trace of twist, but had an indescribable firmness.
