Cheng and his group were drinking on the second floor, everyone was absent-minded. The game that was usually very fun was like chewing wax today, causing the girl from Guixianglou to play round after round.
Suddenly, Cheng Tong's eyes lit up, and everyone at the table seemed to have regained consciousness.
The turtle man on the side couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene, and said to himself: "Is the young master playing so hard now?"
He really didn't understand the tastes of these young masters, but Guixianglou could satisfy everything. He hurried back to make arrangements, and even selected the best among them for young master Cheng Tong.
Cheng Tong had no time to pay attention to Gui Gong's actions. He only stared downstairs at You Ziji who walked in from the backyard. He found the location of Hao Laodao, said a few words, and the group left Guixiang Tower happily.
Someone with a keen eye saw that all the money that Hao Laodao took out when checking out was refunded, and he actually ate and drank for free at Guixiang Tower. Even Zhang Mansion had not received this kind of treatment before.
This is very unusual. Cheng Tong suddenly felt that something big was about to happen. It seemed that Guixianglou and the county governor's office were cooperating? He wanted to go home quickly to discuss it with his father, and send someone to inquire about the news. If they really cooperated, their attitude towards the county magistrate's mansion would not be as tough as it is now.
He turned around to take a sip of his drink and was about to leave, but suddenly he realized that the girl next to him looked very majestic. Her muscles were comparable to those of the elite soldiers in the family, and she was even ogling him.
Cheng Tong felt nauseated and spat out the drink in his mouth. He looked around and saw that the table of friends were all like this, and wondered in his heart, "Is Guixianglou's current tricks so exciting?"
…
You Ziji's energy was severely exhausted, and he slumped on the spot panting. When the sound of vomiting outside the door gradually subsided and You Ziji recovered some strength, he walked out of the room and looked at the vixen half-kneeling on the ground, retching. It's miserable.
He helped the fox back to the room and said:
"Your problem is a bit serious. It cannot be eradicated in just one night. You need to purify it several times until a fire is left in your body and you can resist it on your own. By then, you will not only be able to purify the erysipelas, but also realize the true fire of Samadhi. Speed up the process of forming the inner elixir."
This businessman, Ziji, has suffered a lot of losses. Not to mention the hard work, the price of recreating the vixen is incomparable to ordinary things, which is enough to make her fall to the governor's faction.
The vixen understood in her heart and hurriedly bowed down and said gratefully, "Thank you for your mercy. I will definitely do what you tell me."
…
You Ziji came out of the backyard and came to the place where celebrities in Zijun City were having fun.
The sound of silk and bamboo can be heard here endlessly, and he is reciting poems and composing beautiful lines about encounters, although he understands neither the music nor the poetry.
Everyone didn't feel surprised when they saw a young man walking around in a brothel. Instead, they burst into laughter.
"Nowadays, the world is declining, and this little kid also comes to visit the brothels."
"Call me, sister, and I'll give you a taste of the wine."
"Boy, you have studied the Four Books and Five Classics, so you come here to make a living."
"..."
Among them, there were also several officials who had been to the county governor's mansion and knew You Ziji, but they all lowered their heads and hid their faces and did not dare to say hello.
You Ziji noticed them, thought about it, and went directly to the opposite corner farthest from here. Sure enough, near the door, you can see the figures of Hao Laodao and Hong Duwei in the distance.
Taoist Master Ha lost a lot of interest because of Yu Ziji's delay in returning, but Lieutenant Hong had always been stable and never drank too much. This really showed the ability of Xiao Huang, a living treasure. Most of the wine on the table went into his belly. .
I was afraid that if I didn't come to this shop opened by a monster, I would completely let go. You Ziji thought to himself that next time he would treat erysipelas, he would ask Vixen to give Xiao Huang a serious identity so as to avoid travel difficulties.
"Xiao Huang, come and have a drink."
The girl handed over the wine glass to persuade him to drink. Xiao Huang did not refuse anyone who came and drank it all in one gulp.
As they drank and drank, Xiao Huang's behavior became more and more unruly, and his smile became more and more unrestrained. Through his yellow skin, you could see the two blushes on his face, which reflected the increasingly livid face of Hao Laodao.
"Xiao Huang, if you are a weasel, you will be called Xiao Huang. If you are a kitten or puppy, you will also be called a kitten or puppy."
"Monsters are so casually named."
The girls kept laughing, which made Xiao Huang lose face. He was so angry that he jumped into the girl's arms, slammed the table, and said angrily: "Who said I chose my name casually? I have a name, and my name is Huang." Tyrant."
Lieutenant Hong Du thought to himself: "When did you have such a cool name?"
Old Taoist Hao couldn't stand it anymore, and he was about to have a cold look on his face.
But I heard a familiar voice behind me, "What a domineering name."
Hao Laodao and Lieutenant Hong were overjoyed when they heard this, and said in unison: "You are back. The madam didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
However, Xiao Huang didn't react because he was drunk. He patted You Ziji on the shoulder and said, "My little brother is very discerning." You Ziji couldn't laugh or cry.
Hao Laodao quickly picked him up, and the three of them and the demon walked out of Guixiang Tower together, talking as they walked.
"Brother, are you serious? The madam... the manager really agreed to our request?" Hao Laodao seemed to dare not believe it.
You Ziji nodded and said: "Of course. Taoist priest, you have asked me many times."
"Brother, what price did you pay?" Lieutenant Hong asked worriedly.
"I'm just helping her treat her illness, it's just a little expensive."
"Then what if she regrets it?" Hao Laodao was still a little worried.
You Ziji smiled and said: "Her illness is very serious. No one in the city can cure it except me, and the price is very reasonable. Besides, it will take half a month for her to be cured. During this time, she will never dare to regret it." , enough for us to help the Sheriff solve the problem."
The two of them were relieved.
…
A few days later, the news that Guixianglou cooperated with the county governor's office to capture the remnants of the Zhang family spread like wildfire. All the aristocratic families began to take the initiative to contact the county governor's office. The situation in the city was very good. Not only did the noble families no longer give the county governor's office He also took the initiative to cooperate with the government's resettlement of refugees.
Governor Zhou suddenly had more things to do, and even Captain Hong was a little busy.
But today, Captain Hong took an unprecedented day off, which was really rare for him. After many inquiries, Governor Zhou found out that the materials he had purchased in advance had arrived, and he was about to make a flying knife magic weapon.
Governor Zhou initially thought it was some gossip, such as Captain Hong, a bachelor, going out on a date or something. When he found out that it was about making a magic weapon, he suddenly lost interest and continued to organize his work.
Also busy is You Ziji, who is practicing talismans with Hao Laodao, using talismans with different drawing methods to strengthen his control of the true energy.
But now is the time for him to fulfill his promise.
You Ziji and Lieutenant Hong came to an unusual blacksmith shop. To be more precise, it should be a workshop for refining magic weapons. It was originally the property of the Zhang family, but now it belongs to the Chen family.
Although every practitioner can refine weapons by himself, that method is ancient and laborious. If Hong Duwei relies on himself to refine the magic weapon, he will not be able to practice. There will be no progress in cultivation until the magic weapon is made. .
Therefore, in addition to this workshop, Lieutenant Hong also needs to hire a powerful weapon refiner.
The Zhang family's former weapon refiner was bought by the Chen family together with this workshop. Now that the relationship between the county governor's palace and various aristocratic families has eased, Hong Duwei also saved a lot of effort and did not have to send the material drawings back to the Tianfu Temple headquarters for refinement. .
Since we are borrowing the Chen family's territory and people, the Chen family must come to take a look, so the two spectators, Chen Li and Cheng Tong, were waiting here early.
Chen Li pointed at a middle-aged man with gray hair and thick arms and said, "Young Shaoxia, this is Master Liu from my weapons refining workshop. He has more than 20 years of experience in making weapons."
You Ziji and Lieutenant Hong Du came forward to greet Master Liu.
Master Liu was very experienced. As soon as he showed up, he locked eyes on the slightly excited Lieutenant Hong. Knowing that he was the one who wanted to build weapons, he looked him up and down, not to confirm his identity, but to predict that he would need to take over later. What level of work is it? "Show me your materials."
Lieutenant Hong took out the floating iron and firelocks he had prepared.
Sure enough, as Master Liu thought, it was not a precious material and the amount of work should not be large.
"What kind of weapon do you want? Do you have any requirements? Let me tell you in advance that I am entrusted by the Chen family and will not charge you any fees. If you have any requirements, feel free to ask. If you trust me, I can also design it for you. But Putting these two materials together, it is true that there cannot be any powerful magic weapon."
Lieutenant Hong took out a drawing from his arms, which Hao Laodao helped him draw according to the pattern in the book.
"I want a flying knife-shaped magic weapon. The blueprint was given to me by an expert."
Master Liu took the drawing in his hands with hesitation, he wanted to see the skill of the master.
He spread out the paper and was attracted by it at first sight. After a long time, he sighed: "What a wild imagination. Where did you see this master? Can you introduce it to me?"
Lieutenant Hong didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Cheng Tong was curious and asked: "Master Liu, what is so special about this drawing that makes you so surprised."
"Master Cheng doesn't know how to refine weapons. Let me give you an example. If you make a magic weapon based on my idea, it may not be half as powerful as this blueprint."
When Chen Lili heard this, he looked in disbelief. Although Master Liu was not the top refiner in Zijun City, he was still first-rate. His design was actually better than his?
"Then Master Liu needs to have a good talk with us."
Master Liu cleared his throat and said: "Guys, please see, this floating iron is the lightest of metals because it has tiny pores that are difficult to see with the naked eye."
Hearing this, You Ziji leaned over and took a look. With his eyesight, he could indeed find dense dots, but he couldn't be sure whether they were holes.
Master Liu ignored You Ziji's actions and continued: "As you can probably guess, the pyrogorskite is a kind of spiritual mineral that can produce flames, but the flames are not strong.
In my humble opinion, the grinding component of the pyrogorskite should be forged together with the floating iron, so that the flying knife can be accompanied by flames when it is emitted. If this is the case, there should actually be a better choice of materials.
But this expert had a different idea. He wanted to melt the fire crystal and put it into the center of the floating iron. In this way, the fire of the fire crystal could be released through the pores of the pumice. It would not only emit flames, but also speed up the rotation of the flying knife. Speed, what a clever design. "
Then, Master Liu sighed, "Just to achieve this effect, the firepower we have here is not enough."
