Twenty-one: Shocking Cicada

Li Buzhuo stayed at No. 16, Lixi Lane for two days.

When he went to the county school to listen to the teachings, Bai You saw that Yan Chixue often talked to Li Buzhuo, so he didn't bother Li Buzhuo, and he cast a look of "Brothers," from afar.

Two days passed, and the Ghost Festival came, Li Buzhuo packed up his luggage and took Sanjin to the ghost market, but Ya Santong said that he would teach her how to help.

Three kilograms were reluctant, Yan Chixue promised three kilograms of chicken, one kilogram of dragon beard crisps, and three kilograms of obediently locked himself in a quiet room.

…………

The entrance of the city was full of people, and Li Buzhuo Yan Chixue entered the human world for a long time.

Standing in front of the two realms again, the fifth ring road of the prefecture and city were fully opened, and the cold fog was completely dissipated.

Under the upside-down dome, thousands of carriages emitting green light whizzed through the air, sprinkling pale paper money, and a breeze rolled, like heavy snow.

The ghost merchants with their faces hidden under their black pocket walked off the carriage and disappeared in the streets and alleys.

Li Buzhuo's eyes penetrated the gate of the two realms, and passed through the bustling crowd, and saw that the Youhuan City Gate had already opened.

"When Buddhist saints entered the ghost world to preach and attained the Bodhisattva's fruit. Many ghost merchants like to talk about the "fate method". If you like it, gold will be sold into mud. If you don't feel good about it, stones will be sold to tens of thousands of gold, we may be able to try our luck."

Yan Chixue and Li Buzhuo walked towards the entrance of the Quhuan in the bustling crowd. Some pedestrians seemed ordinary but had no shadows, but they were hard to notice in the dark.

The Constitution of the Heavenly Palace stipulates that anyone can enter the Yanghuan, but entering the Youhuan requires an asset certificate of more than 100,000 yuan.

However, when the ghost market opened, the number of people increased sharply, and the soldiers wearing the army were not too strict. They only checked their certificates occasionally, and most of them only looked at their clothes and dressed up and let them go.

Li Buzhuo and Yan Chixue rented a carriage and successfully entered the goblin.

To enter Zhouhuan, you need a million-dollar asset certificate, and the inspection is very strict, so the two of them can only visit Youhuan.

The yanghuan is slightly smaller in the month and has dozens of miles of circumference. Among them, there are shops without Yanghuan, and there are studios where ghosts and monsters can be purchased to drive ghosts in the paintings; there is a black pagoda, which is the residence of ghost merchants.

Li Buzhuo did not forget his intention and sold five live mortises first.

Ordinary mortise and tenon are used as fixed functions and cannot move. They are used by ordinary carpenters to make furniture. However, the craftsmen of the machinery can make live mortise and use them on the machinery puppets.

Five pieces of live mortise were sold for one gold baht and five silver crocks. Li Buzhuo saw the excitement of the Muji Pavilion owner’s acquisition, and always felt that the price was too low.

After selling the live mortise, Li Buzhuo met several ghost merchants along the street. He tried to get close to them, but they were all very indifferent and had not seen any suitable products yet.

Along the way, I saw a shop on the side of the road with a plaque "Kunwu name", and Li Buzhuo walked in.

Kunwu's name is a famous weapon shop in Youzhou, and there are semicolons everywhere.

Like the craftsman, the golden blacksmith is divided into craftsmen, skilled craftsmen, master craftsmen, master craftsmen, and magical craftsmen.

The copper-inlaid sword that Li Buzhuo used to was from ordinary craftsmen. The white steel sword seized from the Quanfeng Kingdom was better than the copper-inlaid sword, but it was not considered a skilled craftsman's weapon.

Although forging white steel by carburizing and alloying methods is a skill that only skilled craftsmen can do, the white steel dagger is pure steel, although sharp and brittle.

The best skilled weapons are forged by steel clamping techniques - using more tough pig iron or mild steel as the heart of the sword, and hard but brittle white steel is used at the blade. Such weapons will not break even if they are used to chop vigorously.

There are skilled craftsmen's weapons in Kunwu, and there are even occasionally craftsmen's weapons for sale.

Li Buzhuo's military standard copper inlay sword was too rolled to use, and the white steel sword was too short and it was not used to using it, so he prepared to buy a new sword.

As soon as you enter Kunwu, you will be filled with the smell of gold and iron.

When you enter the store, there is a long corridor. There are swords hanging in the cabinet beside the corridor, and there is a seal script under the cabinet with an introduction.

"The iron sword in the house is cast and cast iron, three feet long, weighing six kilograms and six taels... and sold nine silver zhu."

"Qingping Taunt Sword, casting fine steel, three feet long, three pounds and two ounces...sold sixty silver zhu."

"Iron-relieving knife, cast white steel, mild steel, 'cutting iron' technique forging, two feet, eight in length, three pounds and four taels... nine gold tills were sold."

"This iron-breathing knife is an authentic skilled weapon with high quality. The Kunwu name is never discounted, and the nine gold baht is not too expensive." Yan Chixue stood beside the cabinet and turned around, "Li Buzhuo, what kind of sword do you want to buy?"

Seeing the price of this iron-repelling knife, Li Buzhuo knew that he could not afford the skilled craftsman's weapon for the time being, so he looked at the Qingping Sword: "Just buy a stainless steel sword."

Although pure steel swords are not as good as steel swords, they are actually not much different in terms of chopping and chopping, but they are not that durable. However, the price difference between pure steel swords and steel swords is more than ten times different - the better the swords, the lower the cost-effectiveness.

Su Chong's sword technique is heavy and slashing lightly. After practicing, this Qingping Taunt Sword is just right to use. Note the location, and Li Buzhuo is looking for it in the store again.

There were many tourists coming from Kunwu's name. The store closed its eyes and rested without greeting the guests. Li Buzhuo took a look at a few pure steel swords.

I saw a steel sword three feet four long and called "Zhutuo Chuan", two feet nine long and just suited my arm length.

Suddenly, Yan Chixue whispered softly: "This is the place!"

Li Buzhuo turned his head, and Yan Chixue was shaking her hands.

Li Buzhuo walked over and saw the sword hanging in the cabinet beside Yan Chixue, and he couldn't move his eyes.

The sword blade is extremely thin, with wind-like blade patterns.

The seal script under the sword reads introduction:

Shocking cicadas

Zhelongzi was cast in the third year of Fuli

Wenxiu ornaments with skeletons, black hair wrap

The blade pattern leaves traces like a wind passing by, two feet and six in length, waist-retracting, and two blood grooves

Weigh one pound and four ounces, light as if nothing

The sword passes like the autumn wind, but people don't realize it, but only startle the first cicada

…………

"Master's weapons?"

Li Buzhuo subconsciously stretched out his hand and suddenly remembered the rules of Kunwu name: Do not touch weapons at will, otherwise you will have to buy them.

This sword is made of pattern steel, and casting folded pattern steel is a master's skill, and this shocking cicada is a master's weapon.

Moreover, ordinary masters may not be able to beat their swords so lightly or thinly.

Li Buzhuo forced himself to take action and couldn't help but look at the price tag:

Twelve golden turtles

Li Buzhuo's Adam's apple moved: "Let's go somewhere else to take a look..."

Yan Chixue said: "I'll lend you money?"

Li Buzhuo was stunned and really wanted to nod and say "Okay".

But this sword is worth twelve gold turtles, and it is not possible to repay it if you borrow it.

Before Li Buzhuo came back to his senses, Yan Chixue sneered: "I think beautifully, how can I borrow so much money from you? Let's go."

Li Buzhuo looked back at the Shocked Cicada Sword and was about to leave, a hoarse and cold voice suddenly came from the side: "Zhelongzi was originally a priest, but later he was old and weak. In his later years, he could only forge the weapons of the craftsman. He cast the Shocked Cicada Sword. Others thought that this sword was only beautiful but not practical, so he had been on Kunwu for eleven years but had not sold it. Young man, where do you like this sword again?"

Li Buzhuo turned his head and saw that the person who came was hunched over and his face hidden under his hood was blue.
