A night of silence.
Early next morning.
Qiu Shuiqing took Li Muchan and Peacock, turned around the pavilion, passed through a fiery red maple forest, walked through a clump of spotted bamboo, stepped out of the shade, and walked onto a long iron cable bridge. Finally, they were on the opposite side of the bridge. I saw a valley with almost no sunlight.
Compared with the pavilions outside, this place just seems to be in another world.
Dark, silent.
There was only a sliver of gray sky above the head, with jagged rocks on both sides, and hundreds of ever-burning lamps on the stone walls, illuminating a long and winding path.
Li Muchan looked around, and as soon as he came in, he said "Hey" and held down the knife at his waist.
But why?
It turned out that the walls on both sides had a strange suction force like "double rings of dragon and phoenix".
Qiu Shuiqing said with a complicated expression: "This is originally a mine, which contains a lot of exotic gold and iron. It was also the confidence that our ancestors of the Qiu family were able to build such a huge business. For hundreds of years, this mountain has been mined 90%. At its peak, there were 179 light casters in the valley, all of whom were famous craftsmen from all over the world. At that time, countless people came to the door every day, all holding gold and silver in their hands. Just for a handy weapon."
At the end of his words, he sighed with a gloomy look: "Unfortunately, today, it is difficult to achieve the grandeur of the past. Our Peacock Villa has been exhausted, and all the craftsmen have been sent away, leaving only a few childless people. Seniors who have nowhere to live are here to spend their old age."
Feeling the suction coming from both sides, Li Muchan was thoughtful.
However, Qiu Shuiqing's eyes kept falling on the peacock, and he couldn't help but look at it curiously.
The two have never met before.
The peacock looked at this mine, his eyes bright, and exclaimed: "It is said that the ancestors of the Qiu family once witnessed a sky fire falling here by chance, so they went to find the fire, and unexpectedly got a piece of amazing precious iron; after three years, After searching all over the world for all kinds of gold, fine iron and iron, and spending countless efforts, we finally made the invincible 'Peacock Feather'."
"Yes, that precious iron is actually a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron. It has been calcined by heavenly fire and refined to remove all impurities, making it indestructible." Qiu Shuiqing nodded and approved the rumor, "The ancestors regarded it as a miracle, so they settled down here and started a business." Peacock Villa'."
The three of them talked and walked until they got deep. Li Muchan saw that there were many densely packed small characters carved on one side of the mountain wall. They were covered with moss and vines, but they could still vaguely make out the names of people.
"These are all left by people who have entered this 'Meteor Dragon Valley', most of them are master craftsmen." Qiu Shuiqing explained.
Li Muchan glanced at it and asked curiously: "Falling Dragon Valley?"
"Yes," Qiu Shuiqing sighed with emotion, reaching out to touch the mottled writing that was already blurry. "This valley is like a dragon lying down. Our ancestors believed in Feng Shui and fortune telling, and that day the meteorite fell exactly seven inches from the dragon. Therefore, it is called "Meteor Dragon"; this mountain also has a name. The sky fire burned for more than half a month, burning all the vegetation on the mountain, and then the valley was exposed, and the ore underneath was burned out, and the ancestors took it. A 'Luofeng Slope'."
"Luofengpo...Fenglong Valley..." Li Muchan's steps suddenly stopped, but soon returned to normal. He murmured a few words, "Interesting, that 'Fengchu' Pang Shiyuan died in Luofengpo '."
Qiu Shuiqing was stunned for a moment, then gave a rare smile: "That slope is not this slope. Could it be that Young Master also believes in some theory of destiny?"
"How could that be possible?" Li Muchan said with a faint smile as his eyes flashed with divine energy, "But, haha, this place might really be the place where dragons and phoenixes fall."
The further you go, the stronger the suction force emitted by the rocks becomes.
Li Muchan's eyelids trembled slightly. At this moment, in an instant, he seemed to have made a certain decision and conceived a killer trap that could kill people, and the smile on his face became even thicker.
Because he never thought that there was any such thing as "invincibility" in this world, let alone invincibility.
"It's an excellent Feng Shui treasure land, perfect for burying top masters."
Hearing his words, Qiu Shuiqing and Peacock both felt a chill on their necks and pulled away some distance.
In just one day and one night, the two of them had fully seen Li Muchan's plans and government, and they were afraid that they would also be involved.
Li Muchan smiled gently: "Don't worry, we are all in the same boat now, advancing and retreating together."
It was a good thing that he didn't smile, but with this smile, the two of them immediately retreated further.
Finally, the three of them walked through the long and winding corridor, and their vision suddenly broadened.
At the end, a row of bamboo huts is located among flowers and plants, and there are a few peacocks strolling not far away.
Deep in the valley, five old stone houses were overflowing with hot fires, and the fire dyed the doors red.
Before he even got close, he could already hear the sound of hammering coming out one after another, like raindrops, and the clash of gold and iron was crisp and deafening.
Xu Shi noticed the arrival of the three people. Five old men with white beards but strong bodies, who could even be regarded as powerful and powerful, suddenly came out of the house to greet them.
"Zhong Da has met the owner of the village."
"Yan Er has met the owner of the village."
"Song San has met the owner of the village."
"Gu Si has met the owner of the village."
"Zhao Wu has met the owner of the village."
Qiu Shuiqing's expression was gentle and his words were very polite: "Shui Qing has met the Five Elders."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Qiu Shuiqing introduced: "These are the only five famous craftsmen left in our Peacock Villa. Any one of them can establish a sect with their casting skills. Anyone who walks out of Peacock Villa will be respected by all parties." As a distinguished guest.”
The leader, the old man, looks like a vulture, with an eagle nose and deep eyes. The white hair on his head stands up like a halberd. His muscles are as knotted as a rock. His old face is rough, black and red, like red-hot coal.
Zhong Da wiped the sweat off his body: "But what about weapons? They are all over there. Young Master, feel free to take your pick."
After saying that, he pointed casually, and saw that there were many weapons stacked in the corner of the stone house, and the weapons were of different shapes. There were axes, axes, hooks and forks, swords, guns, swords and halberds in an endless stream; there were also snake-shaped swords with snake-like blades, like undulating arcs. Shape sword, a soft sword with a soft spine like a whip, and a strange weapon made up of scales, which looks like a sword but not a sword, and looks like a whip but not a whip.
The old man just dismissed it casually and turned around to go back to the house.
Qiu Shuiqing didn't say a word. Although these old men were polite to him, they were older than his father and had a very high seniority. They were also part of the heritage of his Peacock Villa. He didn't dare to offend or show any disrespect.
Li Muchan just smiled. Qiu Shuiqing had said beforehand on the way here that he didn't think it was anything. After all, there are talented people in the world, and those with high skills will inevitably have a sense of arrogance.
He winked at Peacock, who immediately took out several casting diagrams from his arms as if understanding.
Then Li Muchan said gently: "Five seniors, you might as well take a look. What I want is not those scraps of metal."
Hearing the words "broken copper and broken iron", Wu Lao paused in his steps and his face turned ugly.
Although that pile of weapons is not worth a penny in their eyes, they are all things that people in the world are robbing, and they are hard to buy for a lot of money.
Zhong Da sneered, his beard and hair spread out, and the white stubble stood upright like steel needles and tiger whiskers. He turned his head and opened his mouth to curse: "Where did you come from? Hiss... this is..."
Not wanting him to finish his sentence, he glanced at the casting diagram handed over by Peacock. His eyes immediately went straight and he almost bit his tongue.
After a pause of words, Zhong Da immediately came closer and looked at it eagerly. Then his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "Is this the box?"
"box?"
"What box?"
When the other four elders heard this, they all came over. After just one glance, it was difficult to look away.
"Ah, this is the box that Xiao Leixue owned back then!"
The five old men took the casting diagram from the peacock's hand and gathered around. Their eyes were shining and they couldn't help but marvel.
"What a neat thing."
"Yes, it's really great."
"The parts inside can be assembled into dozens of unusual weapons. This idea is really unimaginable."
…
The five people looked at it for a long time. Zhong Da suddenly saw another one under the casting diagram, and immediately took it to take a look.
But what I saw on the drawing was two strange soldiers.
This strange weapon looks like a sword but not a sword. It looks like a single-edged sword or a ring-headed sword. The blade is as straight as a sword, and the top is like a sword tip. It has an edge on one side and a hard ridge on the other side. The utensils can also be combined into one, and the length and weight of the two utensils are exactly the same.
Zhong Da's eyes brightened again, and he exclaimed in wonder: "What a killing weapon!"
