Chapter 4 Locks
"Cookcakes, hot cookcakes~"
"Alas, that little boy, don't buy it, don't take it. ”
"My straw sandals only sell for eight yuan, eight yuan, and I hear it clearly is eight yuan!!"
"Freshly baked donkey meat stuffed buns, everyone come and buy them..."
............
The market in Canglan County, Youzhou is very lively, and the sound of price negotiation comes into the ears in an endless stream.
Lu Yu watched while walking,
From time to time, I pick up items and take a closer look, and when I encounter delicate things, I will pay for them. The slow pace seemed very leisurely, not at all like a wanted person.
That's right, Lu Yu is wanted,
It's just that the location is in Yanzhou, not Youzhou.
As for how he knew....... money could channel the gods, this rule would work anywhere, and the Kyushu world was no exception.
As a ranger who roamed the rivers and lakes alone at the age of twelve, it is not surprising that he has one or two unique information channels.
Leisurely steps,
Lu Yu walked to a stall selling jewelry, and before he could speak, the bearded middle-aged stall owner couldn't wait to sell to the young man who seemed to be a rich child:
"Do you want to buy a piece of jewelry for someone, haha, let me tell you, it's right for you to come. Look at this, Yunzhou's specialty water jade heart necklace, how beautiful. ”
"Not satisfied, then there is this, the local unique silver light winged hairpin, it is said to be made according to the appearance of the legendary spirit beast silver light butterfly, buy it home, you are satisfied!"
"If you're not satisfied, then look at this, this is ........."
No matter how the stall owner nags, Lu Yu also goes in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear.
In fact, since the boy stood in front of and behind the stall, he didn't listen to the stall owner at all, he just picked up a pendant in the shape of a tear full of cracks rather strangely, and watched it alone.
The jewelry on this pendant is very peculiar, and the light of the sun is constantly flowing with dazzling colors, like a rainbow, which looks extremely magical.
This is made of a rainbow stone unique to Yunzhou, and Lu Yu had obtained a rainbow stone before, made it into an equally delicate necklace, and gave it to a person who once depended on him......
Shaking his head,
Lu Yu threw away the thoughts in his heart, turned around and walked towards the depths of the market.
The beautiful woman is gone, leaving only a little thought in the young man's mind, and only occasionally comes to the surface;
Yu'er, are you okay?
...............
In the depths of the bazaar,
Lu Yu walked to the house of a seemingly ordinary house, restrained his thoughts, raised his hand and knocked on the door rhythmically a few times:
"Knock-knock-knock......"
After a few knocks, Lu Yu immediately straightened his shirt and began to wait.
Shaoqing,
With a squeaky door, a handsome girl opened the door, and Lu Yu did not hesitate to enter it immediately.
Without further ado, stroll past the front hall and into the back room,
Lifting a gray rag like a curtain on the door, the scenery in front of me changed:
The back room is no longer the appearance of an ordinary house, but is similar to the layout of a pawnshop, in which an old man sits at the table, with his back to the exit, drinking tea leisurely, and a shopkeeper who seems to be a middle-aged fat man behind the counter. When he saw the young man recently, he smiled at him,
Two dimples appeared, looking very amiable.
The young man smiled back at him, then ignored it, and walked directly to the old man drinking tea and sat down.
The old man did not look very strange, except that the short beard under his chin was slightly peculiar, shiny, gray, and very messy......
After looking at it for a moment, Lu Yu immediately asked, "Are you the locksmith sent by the Dark Moon Workshop?"
He just habitually asked, who knew that the sloppy old man in front of him immediately blew his beard and glared: "Can the young man speak, old man, I was invited, not sent!"
Lu Yugang looked a little surprised, and the fat shopkeeper over there smiled and said: "This senior is a senior who we have invited with a lot of effort from Dark Moon Fang, and I was originally going to White Horse City, but when I passed by here, I happened to hear that we needed to unlock it, so I took a look by the way." You're in good fortune, hey, guest. ”
Expert?
Lu Yuhu looked at the sloppy old man suspiciously, but he didn't see that it was high. Shaking his head slightly, he directly took out a small box with a lock from Yuan Cheng and put it on the table, pushed it to the sloppy old man, and said, "Then ask the seniors to help unlock this lock." ”
He used his self-realized Qingfeng "footwork" to get two items from Yuan Cheng's one, one of which was the black whistle that summoned the blue dragon, and the other was this small box.
The small box is pitch black, delicately shaped, and locked.
After Lu Yu got off the ship yesterday, he asked an ordinary locksmith to open it, but it didn't get undone. I had no choice but to come to this Dark Moon Fang to see if they could find a way.
Darkmoon Fang is an underground organization, not in the sight of ordinary people, the scope of business is very huge, it can be said that as long as you can pay the corresponding price, they can even get you the emperor's underwear...
Although Lu Yu felt that Dark Moon Fang could help untie this box, he didn't expect that it would only take a day to find him a "master" to come over.
It seems that within this mysterious force, it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...
..........
After a stick of incense
Looking depressedly at the master on the other side who kept fiddling with the small box, but scratched his ears and cheeks and didn't know what to do at all, Lu Yu sighed softly: "It seems that you are not a good master." ”
"Fart!"
The sloppy old man, who was thinking bitterly, suddenly looked like a fried sparrow, raised his head and said angrily: "Opening this broken lock is just a gesture!"
"Then you're going to open it. ”
The fat shopkeeper over there also said with a depressed face. I really can't understand how this master who has traveled down from above can drop his chain like this, it's been half an hour...
"Hmph, ignorance. ”
The sloppy old man snorted lightly, put down the box in his hand, and explained with a little impatience: "This lock is easy to open, but if you open this lock, you can't take out the things in it." ”
"Why?" Lu Yu asked. The fat shopkeeper is also listening attentively.
"Because this lock is simply a disguise, the real protection is here!"
The sloppy old man turned over the small box and pointed to the bottom of the box: "This is where the real lock is, if I just rushed to open the lock, you really can't take out the things in it;
Lu Yu picked up the black box and looked at it suspiciously: If you don't look at the depression carefully, you think it's like that, but it will hide another mechanism...?
"And how do you drive this thing?"
The sloppy old man replied, "I can't open it here, and I don't have a toolbox, so it's hard to start." ”
"Then where can I go?" Lu Yu frowned.
He still has business to do, so what time is there to waste on this broken box.
The sloppy old man touched his beard and said, "White Horse City, there is one of my colleagues there, we can borrow his tools." ”
"White Horse City..."
Lu Yu thought for a moment, then turned around and asked the fat shopkeeper, "How far is White Horse City from the Hidden Altar?"
"Not far. ”
The fat shopkeeper replied: "On the edge of White Horse City is Kailong City, and after passing Kailong City, there is a ghost altar dozens of miles ahead." ”
"Yes. ”
Lu Yu was sure in his heart, and responded with a clapp: "Okay, let's go to White Horse City!"
"Tomorrow"
The sloppy old man replied, then blinked his eyes, and said: "Let's talk about it first, although I don't care about the extra miscellaneous man on the road, old man, but this lock is still a little difficult to open, and you have to make it clear to him first." ”
As he spoke, the old man stretched out his hand and pointed at the fat shopkeeper.
When the fat shopkeeper saw this, his expression immediately became grateful, he thought that this business was going to be intercepted by the organization of White Horse City, but he didn't expect this master to give face so much...
Hearing the sloppy old man's request, Lu Yu agreed quite happily: "No problem, then let's talk about the price first"
"And then we'll go tomorrow!"
