In the early morning of the next day, Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou did not sleep for too long. They got up early to freshen up. When they arrived at the Seven Kills Hall, Huang Xin was already waiting for them.
"Here you come? You didn't sleep in." Huang Xin looked lazy.
"Knowing that Master is waiting, we don't dare to waste our time." The monkey said with a flattering smile. "Looking at how good we two are, this sect's contribution..."
"Don't even think about it, half of the contribution will be deducted for the teacher." Huang Xin interrupted Monkey's words and raised his chin.
"Let's go, the treasure house should be open." Huang Xin walked straight out of the hall, and Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou hurriedly followed.
The Galaxy Treasure House is located in the Yuheng Palace. The Yuheng Palace is extremely important in the Galaxy Sect. It is not only the location of the Galaxy Treasure House but also the place of practice and living for the elders.
Yuheng Hall is divided into two parts: the above-ground part and the underground part. The above-ground part alone is very majestic. It is divided into seven floors and is the residence of the elders.
It is said that the higher the status of the elders, the higher the floor they live. Considering the elders' advanced age, the Xinghe Sect designed a human-powered elevator to facilitate their travel. Special disciples took turns to be on duty and control the elevator. The care was very thorough.
Underground of Yuheng Hall is the Galaxy Treasure House.
Huang Xin led Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou into the Yuheng Hall easily, and no one from the armored guards in front of the door came forward to stop them.
The interior decoration on the first floor of Yuheng Hall is not very luxurious, but it is simple and elegant, giving people a sense of comfort when entering it.
There were no armored men guarding the hall, but based on Gu Xifeng and Monkey's senses, there were many strong men hiding behind the hall. Obviously, if a blind young man dared to come here to make trouble, what he would face would be nothing like what he saw in front of him. So peaceful.
At this time, there were only a few stewards busy in the hall. When three people came in, a steward walked towards them.
When the steward approached, he obviously recognized Huang Xin and his attitude was very respectful.
"Lord Commander, why did you come to Yuheng Hall today?" The steward bowed slightly to Huang Xin with a gentle smile.
"I want to take these two disciples to the treasure house to exchange some things. The treasure house should be opened." Huang Xin said calmly.
"Of course it's already opened. Please come this way, sir." The steward made an invitation gesture to the three of them and led the way to the right side of the hall.
At the end of the right side of the hall is a downward staircase. A large golden word "KU" on the wall above the staircase is very conspicuous. The steward took the three people to the staircase and stopped going forward. Huang Xin led the two disciples down the staircase.
The stair passage is very bright. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is brightly lit. It is in sharp contrast with the stairs leading to the Seven Kills Hall. Although it is underground, it has been decorated a lot. There are many patterns and totems on the walls, giving people a A very comfortable feeling.
"Master, who designed the entrance just now? The word "KU" written there is too ugly." The monkey complained to Huang Xin while observing the passage.
"This treasure house has existed since the beginning of the Galaxy Sect. The word "treasure house" was handwritten by the first ancestor. Why do you have any objections?" Huang Xin said calmly.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the writing is very good, the pen moves like a dragon and a snake, and the dragons and phoenixes are dancing. I can faintly feel the atmosphere of the great road on it. It is worthy of the ancestor, but the carving seems a bit abrupt there." Monkey blurted out a lot of flattery. .
"It was carved by the second-generation ancestor. If you really have any objections, I won't mind sending you to see his old man." Huang Xin said, raising his palm and slapping the monkey on the back of the head.
However, he didn't use much force. The monkey didn't feel any pain after being hit, and stuck out his tongue playfully.
"There is so much nonsense, let me tell you two. Once you enter the treasure house, read more and talk less. If you violate any taboos, I will not be too lazy to protect you."
"Also, this passage is not as beautiful as it looks. There are countless mechanisms hidden in it. If someone breaks in, they will die without knowing it. After all, the treasure house is the foundation of the sect, and the guards here are the strictest in the entire sect. place."
As soon as Huang Xin said this, the monkey immediately looked around, as if he wanted to see where the mechanism was hidden. Gu Xifeng did not react and continued to walk forward.
The passage was not particularly long, and soon the three of them reached the end. In front of them was a huge iron door with a plaque on it and three typing letters in the library.
Huang Xin stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
A voice came from inside the door.
"Who is coming!"
"Seven Killing Camp Huang Xin."
After a moment of silence, the two iron doors moved to both sides and opened.
The three of them walked inside.
A middle-aged man in a Confucian shirt walked towards the three of them.
"Commander Huang." The man saluted Huang Xin.
"Songnian, I would like to take these two disciples to the arsenal to exchange for useful weapons, and take them to visit your library on the way to gain a lot of experience." Huang Xin smiled heartily and patted Gu Xifeng gently. The two said.
Gu Xifeng stared at the middle-aged man named Song Nian with interest.
This man was thin, not handsome, and exuded a bookish aura, and there was an aura that Gu Xifeng was familiar with in his movements.
"Then let me introduce you to the two master disciples."
"I don't dare bother Pavilion Master Liu. I can just show them around. I understand the rules. Pavilion Master Liu can go and do your work."
"Well, if you need anything, call me at any time." Liu Songnian stopped being polite and decisively let the three of them in to do their own things.
After Liu Songnian left, Gu Xifeng glanced at his back thoughtfully, and then asked Huang Xin, "Master?"
Huang Xin was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Xifeng, you have good eyesight. This Liu Songnian is the master of the Library Pavilion and a martial arts master. The masters of each floor of the treasure house are master masters."
"How many grandmasters are there in the Xinghe Sect? It feels like there are countless masters in the sect." The monkey asked curiously, with stars twinkling in his eyes.
"A lot. You don't have the authority to know the specific number yet. It should be more than you think. The Galaxy Sect's claim to be the best sect in the world is not just a boast." Huang Xin's tone was filled with pride, which Gu Xifeng and Gu Xin had never heard of. The tone heard from Huang Xin.
"Are there any saints in that sect? How many are there?" Monkey came to Huang Xin mysteriously and whispered.
There was a thud and a big bump appeared on the monkey's head.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" Huang Xin said seriously and walked straight into the library, ignoring the monkey. Gu Xifeng covered his mouth and snickered.
When the two saw Huang Xin walking away, they quickly chased after him.
"There are many books in the Library Pavilion, such as classics and history, biographies of merchants, and strange sects. You can pay some sect contribution to read them here or pay more to take them back and read them. Of course, you will have to pay them back when the time comes."
"For example, the sect's contribution required for the secrets and skills is much more. The contributions you two have made from the tasks you have done recently can probably be exchanged for ordinary skills. If it is a top-level skill, with your It’s impossible to exchange the abilities of the two in just a few years.”
"Ordinary exercises can be exchanged directly by copying them and taking them away. If you want to pass them on to others, there is no problem. Therefore, it is cheaper to trade this kind of mainland products among disciples. However, if it is a sect's secret method, you can only watch it here and keep it in mind, and you are not allowed to teach it to others. , if you violate the precepts, the consequences will be very miserable."
"If you two are interested in collecting books, come and look at them yourself. I don't have time to read with you."
Huang Xin introduced the two of them as he walked, but he didn't want to stop and let the two of them take a closer look. He walked non-stop to the lower floor.
There is a guard at the entrance to the second floor, so there is no need to knock. The guard will open the door immediately after seeing the yellow letter.
There is also a plaque on the door on the second floor with the words "Chen Bing Pavilion" written on it.
Entering Chen Bing Pavilion, the scene inside is much more shocking than that of Cang Shu Pavilion. Countless weapons shine with light of various colors, eye-catching. There are all kinds of shapes, long weapons and short blades, which are dizzying for people to see. It cannot be summarized by eighteen kinds of weapons.
It was the first time for Gu Xifeng and Monkey to come here. When they saw such a scene, their eyes lit up and they looked around with great pleasure.
There is a counter next to the door of Chenbing Pavilion. Inside the counter, an old man in civilian clothes is lying on a wicker chair, with his eyes closed as if he is sleeping.
"A guest has arrived. Soldier A and Soldier B are here to receive the guest." The old man spoke without opening his eyes. As soon as he said this, two young men in black attire ran over.
"Pavilion Master Ma, even if I won the bet last time, you have ignored me for half a year and still hold a grudge." Huang Xin said with a wry smile.
"Humph." The old man snorted coldly and turned away, still ignoring Huang Xin.
"I won you a can of fine Yunfu tea, and I'll give you a pot of Qianqiu wine." Huang Xin looked helpless.
The old man sat up suddenly, his eyes flashing, as if he had been thinking for a while, then his face turned cold, he snorted sideways again, and lay down.
"Bring me some wine, and I won't take care of you again." The old man said and secretly glanced at Huang Xin.
"I'll bring it to you when I get back." Huang Xin said helplessly, frowning. "There's nothing we can do about this weird old man like you."
Seeing Huang Xin's deflated look, Gu Xifeng and Monkey laughed beside him.
"Don't bother me, old man, if you don't have wine. Soldier A and Soldier B, just entertain them."
The old man closed his eyes completely and stopped talking. Huang Xin had a dark look on his face.
"Remember, this is Ma Guanshan, the master of Chen Bing Pavilion. He is an extremely weird old man. Be sure not to provoke him in the future." Huang Xin said to Gu Xifeng and Gu Xin.
Ma Guanshan still closed his eyes and ignored it.
"Okay, you win, just ignore it. I'll get you some wine when I get back. Bing Jia, help me check the sect contributions of my two disciples Gu Xifeng and Xiao Houzai. Bing B, how much do we need to exchange?" Bring me the dagger, the dagger, and the atlas.”
When the two young men heard Huang Xin's words, they immediately ran into Chen Bing Pavilion.
After Huang Xin and the two young men finished explaining, they turned to look at Gu Xifeng and the other two.
"If you want to check your sect's contribution in the future, you only need to come to the treasure house. Whether it is mission rewards, experience rewards or military pay, they will all be summarized here. Once you get it, you will get familiar with it again. I will not have time to bring you here in the future. "
Gu Xifeng and Houhou nodded obediently.
After a while, the two young men came back.
The young man named Bingjia brought a thick book like an account book, put it on the counter and flipped through it. Soon he seemed to have found something. He pointed at the book and read: "Gu Xifeng, the sect contributed one thousand three thousand One hundred and twenty-six points. Xiao Houzai, the sect contributed one thousand two hundred and sixty-one points."
Huang Xin nodded slightly and said, "It's almost the same as my rough calculation."
At this time, the young man named Bing Yi also came back, also holding a booklet in his hand, but it looked much more delicate than the one held by Bing Jia.
"Lord Commander, this is the map of daggers and short blades. Please take a look." Bing Yi said respectfully.
Huang Xin was not polite. He took the atlas and looked through it. Gu Xifeng and Hou Hou hurried forward.
The stabber is a dagger with a blade length of five inches. It is made of fine iron. It is sharp but not very hard. It requires a contribution of 500 points from the sect.
Xia Yin, double daggers, the blade is four inches and eight minutes long, made of black iron, the hardness is acceptable but not sharp enough, and the sect needs to contribute 800 points.
Snowflake, short blade, six inches and two cents long, made of cold iron, sharp and hard, contains cold energy, can instantly freeze wounds, and prevents blood from staining the blade. It requires a contribution of 2,300 points from the sect.
Red Wave, double short blades, five inches and eight minutes long, made of red flame copper, all red in color, excellent in sharpness and hardness. Infused with internal energy, it can activate the fiery breath to burn the enemy, requiring the sect to contribute 4,900 points.
…
Yi Shui and Setting Sun, double daggers, with blades five inches and two cents long. Both are made of mysterious metal, with excellent sharpness and hardness. Yi Shui emits cold air, and Setting Sun contains the power of blazing heat. The power of the two is doubled when used at the same time. It requires a sect. Contributed 28,000 points.
To stop the war, double daggers, the blades are five feet and six minutes long, made of foreign metal, from the hands of the forging master Feng Yu three hundred years ago, extremely sharp, cutting iron like mud, unparalleled in strength, undamaged for hundreds of years, requires the contribution of the sect. Thirty-eight thousand points.
"Master, this is too expensive, and our little contribution can't be exchanged for any good weapons." The monkey drooled while watching it, but after reading it, he said with a sad face.
"That's right. If you cut off half of the contribution of just over a thousand points, you won't be able to get any good weapons." Huang Xin nodded in agreement.
"Master, please stop joking. If you continue to detain us, we can go back directly." The monkey was so worried that he almost shed tears.
"What a beautiful idea." Huang Xin snorted coldly.
"Yes, what are you thinking about? Those who should be filial to the master must give it. Let's do this. All our contributions this month will be given to the master!" Gu Xifeng said with an upright face.
The monkey was immediately dumbfounded when he heard this.
"Ah? You've already given it to us, so what else can we get in exchange for it?"
Huang Xin stared at Gu Xifeng suspiciously, trying to tell from his face what kind of medicine he was selling.
"Master, we are both so filial to Master. If we ask for something, Master will never refuse." Gu Xifeng came to Huang Xin with a smile on his face.
"What's the matter? Let's talk about it." Huang Xin raised his eyebrows, with some ominous premonition.
"Master, lend us some money, no, lend us some contribution, otherwise we won't be in vain." Gu Xifeng's smile gradually became flattering.
The monkey's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Huang Xin frowned and said, "How much can you borrow?"
"Not too much, not too much, about thirty thousand per person is enough." Gu Xifeng showed a harmless smile.
"What the hell?" Huang Xin's eyes widened, obviously not expecting Gu Xifeng to speak so loudly.
"Master, since we can get it right in one step, we will work hard to complete the task and return the money, no, the contribution, to Master." Gu Xifeng solemnly promised.
The monkey also came close to Huang Xin.
"Master, you are just the two disciples, just lend us some. It's not like you won't return it, so please master." The monkey begged, and the ambiguous voice gave Huang Xin goosebumps.
…
After a long day of begging and bargaining, Monkey finally left the treasure house happily holding Yishui and Setting Sun, while Gu Xifeng held a pair of Zhizhan.
The final result of the bargain was that they not only had to repay the borrowed contribution, but also gave Huang Xin the previous contribution and all the contributions for the next three months as interest.
This condition gave Huang Xin a headache when he paid the bill. Huang Xin's depressed expression made Gu Xifeng even happier.
However, when they left the treasure house, Gu Xifeng and Monkey didn't see an imperceptible smile on Huang Xin's face.
