After the grim-faced Taoist priest and Luo Laoqi discussed it, both of them were no longer sleepy. They could only lean on both sides of the palace door and chat. They finally made it to daybreak, and the rain outside happened to lighten up a bit. So the two of them quickly arranged their clothes, caught the rainwater dripping from the eaves with their hands, wiped their faces, and then set off towards Wangjing Town.
Wangjing Town is located thirty miles southeast of Jinling. It is the only way for the southeastern counties to go north to the capital. Therefore, the town is very large, with a population of no less than a thousand households. The town is also equipped with restaurants, inns, and various shops. Taoist priests with grim faces Since both of them left their backpacks in the Shanyang Palace, if they wanted to fight, they would need to re-purchase everything from their outfits to their tools.
The two Taoist priests with a grimace did not want to waste time. After asking the townspeople for the location of the carpenter's shop, they went straight there. , when I was checking out, I suddenly caught a glimpse of an exquisite and exquisite wooden tower on the counter. I couldn't help but feel stunned, secretly thinking that there was actually a salesperson in this shop?
Pin'ermen is a branch of the carpentry trade in the world. At that time, the carpentry trade was actually a serious thirty-six trade, and all the money earned was "clean" money. However, some old craftsmen in the trade were well-informed and skilled in craftsmanship. If you are superb, you can take both black and white. Over time, a partial sect is formed, which is called "Guer sect". On the surface, Guiermen is in the serious carpentry business, but behind the scenes, it specializes in the odd-kat tools and sharp pin tools used by the outer eight gates. The exquisite wooden tower with complex craftsmanship is Guiermen's identity token, and it can make people famous in the world. The identification of the person can also reflect the craftsmanship of the store.
The carpenters of Guiermen have a high status in the world, not only because of their superb craftsmanship, but more importantly, almost all the masters in the sect know some Feng Shui mysticism. The second volume of the sect's treasure "Lu Ban Jing" is devoted to If those who cast spells and mystical arts had offended them at that time, it would cost them lives and money at least, or ruin their families and people at worst, so people inside and outside the world would not easily provoke them, for fear of causing trouble.
There are many anecdotes and legends about Guiermen among the people. The most famous one is about a rich man named Li San who was building a house at his home. The carpenter he hired at that time was a member of Guiermen. Li San was He was stingy and mean, and often insulted the carpenter during the construction period. The food he was given was eaten by the servants, and he even repeatedly deducted wages. Although the old master was angry, he didn't care about it. After building the house, he took less than half of the wages he promised and left. Li San thought he got a bargain and felt proud of himself, but he didn't expect to live in the new house for only more than a month. Problems began at home.
First, it was Li San's eldest son who accidentally killed another young man during a jealous fight in a restaurant. Li San spent a lot of money but failed to save his son's life and was directly sentenced to beheading. Then Li San himself also suffered an accident and was killed by a thief. He was stabbed at home and died. From then on, the Li family began to fall into decline. Within a few years, the whole family was ruined.
Neighbors knew that the bloody disaster caused by the Li family was probably caused by the curse cast by the carpenter. Later, the Li family's house was sold to someone else. That person planned to tear down the house and rebuild it. Sure enough, he found a wooden hammer on the beam. The dagger was carved from an old locust tree and was nailed to the beam of the house. It was such a small wooden dagger that killed the Li family, which shows the power of Pin'ermen.
The Taoist priest with a grimace looked at the store carefully again. The man was only thirty years old. He was honest and honest. He looked like a real farmer. Then he asked, "Is the shopkeeper from the salesman's family?"
"What door?" Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then looked at the exquisite wooden pagoda. He suddenly looked enlightened and pointed at the wooden pagoda and said, "You mean this, right? This was placed by my old man before he died. Come to my place." Those skills are no longer available, but if you want to buy those things, there are still many items that the old man made during his lifetime."
"Oh, it turns out it's my father's craftsmanship. I really want to buy something. Can you take a look?"
The shopkeeper nodded and lifted the curtain behind him, revealing a back room. "It's all in there. You can choose what you want."
The grimace Taoist priest and Luo Laoqi entered the room. There were only two rows of shelves inside. It seemed that the shop owner's father did not do any big business during his lifetime. The two of them searched high and low but did not see the cyclone shovel for the lower bucket. However, I left empty-handed and was afraid that the store would be unhappy, so I had to see if there was anything else I could use. There were quite a few weapons of various colors on the shelves. I don’t know whether the old man was a carpenter or a blacksmith during his lifetime. There was even a mace at the end of the shelf. It was completely black and looked like it weighed more than a hundred pounds. Luo Laoqi lifted it up and weighed it a few times. There was a smile on his face, and he looked very satisfied.
When the grimace Taoist priest saw this, he cursed the fool and said in a low voice: "You and I are going to fight, not to raise an army to rebel, so put them back quickly!"
After hearing this, Luo Laoqi reluctantly put down his mace and looked around the shelves again. He was not interested in other gadgets. In the end, only the Taoist priest with a grimace took a fancy to a set of wrist crossbows. The wrist crossbows were very well made. It is exquisite. When you put it on your wrist and snap the machine, three sharp steel nails will shoot out in a volley. The power is also very domineering. The steel nails penetrated the armor at a distance of more than ten steps. It is really a sharp hidden weapon.
After taking the photo of the wrist crossbow, the Taoist priest with a grimace found a Luban hammer at the bottom of the shelf. This Luban hammer is a unique tool of Pinermen. One side of the hammer head is like a hammer and the other side is like a duck bill. It can smash and pry and has many functions. , this is a sharp tool for breaking bricks into tombs and opening coffins. I can't find the cyclone shovel, but getting this Luban hammer can be considered a big gain.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace paid the money with satisfaction. The two of them left the shop and bought iron shovels and other items at the blacksmith shop. They then went to buy some outfit and left Wangjing Town in a hurry.
