After saying that this weapon was very expensive, the sword shop owner shut up and did not continue.
Jining guessed that the other party saw his coarse clothes and was afraid that he would not have the money to buy them. After thinking about it, he took out a one hundred tael silver note from his pocket. The shop owner was still a little hesitant when he saw the bank note!
Seeing that the store was still hesitating, Jining said that he was a Taoist priest from Chaotianguan, and if the weapon was suitable, he would definitely buy it.
Maybe everyone in Yidu City knows that the Taoist priests in Chaotian Temple are relatively wealthy. In addition, Chaotian Temple is a Taoist temple for protecting the country of Lu. Seeing that Jining has already taken out this large amount of money, the store owner is afraid that if he does not give the little Taoist weapon to the Taoist priest, he will Offending Chaotian Guan, after all, offending Lu Guoguo Taoist Temple is not a wise move.
After thinking of this, the shopkeeper nodded quickly and said: "Little Taoist, wait a moment. This weapon is relatively expensive and is not stored in the shop. I will arrange for someone to get it." Then he shouted to the two people in the backyard who were hammering iron tools. The apprentice and assistant then ordered them to fetch things elsewhere.
Jining waited for about a quarter of an hour before seeing the few guys who had gone out come back. One of the clerks took a wooden box and handed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper carefully opened the wooden box and said proudly: "This set of sleeve arrows is extraordinary. Not only is the casting process exquisite, but the materials used for these sleeve arrows are very rare. At that time, my father wanted to cast this set of sleeve arrows." It took Xiujian three years to succeed!!!"
Then he pointed at the sleeve arrows and said: "The key parts of this set of sleeve arrows are all made of meteorite iron, and other parts are also made of hundreds of forged steel materials. Our shop is an ancestral craft, and my Taizu is a famous sword forger in the Manchu State. Master, the sword worn by the Emperor of Lu when he ascended the throne was the hand of our Taizu.
At that time, a martial arts master came to our shop to cast this weapon because of its reputation. This martial arts master not only brought the material "Tianwai Meteorite" to make the sleeve arrows, but also provided the structural drawings of the sleeve arrows. Normally, the shooting range of ordinary sleeve arrows does not exceed thirty meters, but the killing range of this set of sleeve arrows is twice as high as that of ordinary sleeve arrows.
Later, for unknown reasons, this martial arts master never came to our store. At that time, more than ten years had passed since the time agreed upon by both parties to pick up the goods. According to the agreement, our shop can already handle this weapon by itself, so today it seems that the Taoist priest is also a destined person. "
After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation of Xiu Jian, Jining saw Xiu Jian's true face. Seeing that the sleeve arrows are exquisitely made and more than five inches long, we can see from the cowhide sheath of the sleeve arrow launch tube that the sleeve arrows should be tied to the upper outside of the forearm. The sleeve arrow quiver can hold up to three arrows at a time and can be fired continuously.
Jining couldn't put it down after seeing it, and he liked this set of sleeve arrows very much, so he asked how much money the sleeve arrows would cost. Perhaps the shopkeeper saw Jining's expression. The shopkeeper said that the sleeve arrow needed one thousand taels of silver.
Jining was a little surprised when he heard that a weapon had such a high price, and ordinary weapons only cost a few taels of silver. There was some hesitation in his heart. While hesitating, the shop owner quickly said: "Although the cost of a thousand taels of silver for this sleeve arrow is a bit high for ordinary people, the value of the materials used for this sleeve arrow is definitely more than a thousand taels of silver. When my father completed the sleeve arrow, , saying that the difficulty of making this sleeve arrow has exceeded my father's own level. Maybe it was made by spiritual connection and some luck. Regardless of my father's casting level, ordinary meteorite iron is a priceless treasure. Ordinary swords only need to add a little meteorite iron. It will become a magic weapon. The casting process of the sleeve arrows is complicated. If I don't think the Taoist priest is destined, I will not take it out."
Jining also nodded after hearing this, but Jining was a little depressed. His total net worth and the salary he received last time were only about 600 taels. He felt like a penny could not kill a hero. Jining also knew in his heart that if he met a rich owner, he might even be able to get a thousand taels of gold.
But there was no other way, so he told the shopkeeper that he had a total of 600 taels of silver. If the shopkeeper was willing, he would pay 600 taels to buy the Xiujian.
The shop owner was a little reluctant when he heard that Jining only had about 600 taels of silver. However, the shop owner also knew that one thousand taels of silver was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford, and this arrow in his sleeve had been there for such a long time. He would not sell it today. It is also difficult to meet people who want to buy this weapon.
After hesitating for a while, he reluctantly agreed to sell it to Jining. After Jining bought Xiujian, he saw that he still had a few taels of silver, and then bought a fine steel sword.
On the way back to the thatched cottage, Jining was in a very good mood. He gained a lot from this trip to Yidu, but he also spent all his current wealth. Now he is penniless. Jining did not care. After all, he usually No other overhead is required.
So we turned from the official road outside Yidu City to a mountain trail and returned to the thatched cottage.
It was already evening when we returned to the thatched cottage, and Jining hurriedly put down the purchased goods. He couldn't wait to take out the wooden box containing the sleeve arrows. The Xiu Arrow is composed of the Xiu Arrow launch tube and the Xiu Arrow. It is found carefully that the internal structure of the Xiu Arrow launch tube is very delicate. The core launching device of the Xiu Arrow consists of the Xiu Arrow slot device, the Xiu Arrow track adjuster, the launch paddle and the spring. There are three sleeve arrow card slots in the launching device, and the sleeve arrows in each slot are individually controlled. It can be seen that the craftsmen who made it at that time were very careful, and all the large and small parts were adjusted very accurately.
In addition to the sleeve arrow launch box, there are six exquisitely made sleeve arrows. The triangular arrow of each sleeve arrow is shining with cold light. The tail of the sleeve arrow does not use ordinary feathers to balance the launch trajectory after launch, but is made of hundreds of forged steel. Made of steel feathers. Jining picked up a sleeve arrow and found that the sleeve arrow was not as heavy as he thought. It seemed that the Bailian forged steel had undergone a qualitative change after adding the extraterrestrial meteorite.
Jining picked up the arrow in his sleeve and scratched it on the table, trying to see if the arrow in his sleeve was sharp. With just one stroke, a deep scratch appeared on the table. This made Jining a little surprised, and he had an impulse in his heart to immediately test the power of the sleeve arrow after being launched.
Jining picked up the small Xiu quiver launch box, and then installed the Xiu quiver with the Xiu quiver. The arm sleeve of the Xiu quiver was made of high-quality cowhide, and the fixing card was also very delicately made. The sleeve arrow box clicked and was fixed on the arm. Then Jining waved his arm and found that the arm with sleeve arrows would not affect daily life at all.
Jining walked to the waterhole, looked around, and saw an old banyan tree about a hundred meters away from him. He wound up the three sleeve arrows, and then shot an arrow at the old banyan tree 20 meters away. With a "whoosh" sound, the sleeve arrows were like a ray of cold light, and instantly sank into the trunk of the old banyan tree. Jining hurriedly ran to the old banyan tree to check, and saw that the five-inch sleeve arrow had already penetrated the trunk of the old banyan tree by more than four inches. He thought that if he was shot by the sleeve arrow, he would not die but would be seriously injured.
Then Jining walked fifty meters away, and then shot an arrow at the old banyan tree. He found that even if he shot it fifty meters away, the sleeve arrow could penetrate more than an inch into the tree.
After such a test, Jining was very satisfied with the lethality of Xiujian. If it is caught unexpectedly, even the best masters in the martial arts world will find it difficult to avoid the attack of Ci Xiujian. What makes Jining depressed now is that one of the sleeve arrows was shot too deep into the old banyan tree and could not be taken out for a while, so he could only retrieve one of them. I want to wait a few days to find a tool and then take out this sleeve arrow.
Then remove the arrows that have not been fired from the arrow box and remove the firing pick, because the shop owner reminded Jining that the sending paddle cannot be re-springed for a long time, otherwise it will affect the power and life of the arrows.
Jining tested the firing method of Xiujian again, but he was still not satisfied. Jining sighed a little, discovering that good weapons can definitely double a person's combat effectiveness. If he had weapons like Xiujian at that time, he wouldn't be so embarrassed when facing the Blue Blood Sword Sect's Lie Xiangtian, and maybe he could kill him back.
Jining touched his sleeve arrows with his hand, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"Chirp, chirp" broke the silence here. Suddenly, a green and spiritual bird flew near Jining, circled and stopped at the edge of Jining. When Jining recognized it, the bird flew directly to Jining. Jump on Jining's body.
Jining was a little surprised when he saw this bird. It turned out to be the bird he knew when he was at the Taoist temple. He didn't expect that it could find him. Jining touched it with his hand. The bird didn't resist at all and actually enjoyed it.
After playing for a while on the edge of Jining, the bird flew away again.
It is the end of the year, and although the land of Qilu is close to the West Sea, the climate is still relatively cold in winter, and snowflakes occasionally float in the sky. This season is relatively free, so farmers in the villages down the mountain are hiding at home to prepare for the New Year.
However, Jining's heart was fiery, and one day he had an accidental enlightenment that gave him renewed confidence in the way of practice. I know that although this is a place abandoned by immortals, I can actually get this nameless spiritual fruit near here, which also shows that there is still spiritual energy between heaven and earth in this place, maybe it exists in the vegetation deep in the mountains.
Calculating the time, it has been more than half a month since Jining returned from Yidu City. During this time, Jining was meditating every day and preparing to enter the mountains.
It's a little strange that it's such a cold day, and most birds and beasts are looking for a warm place to hide from the cold, but this green bird comes to Jining every day, not caring about the cold sky.
After more than half a month of preparation, everything for entering the mountain is almost ready. Since the new year is approaching, there is nothing to do in the thatched house, and he has no acquaintances in the Taoist temple and does not want to go to the Taoist temple, so Jining decided to go to the mountain to practice from tomorrow.
