Chapter 27: Beauty's Hands Present Rainbow Bronze tripod jade liquid is the most important thing for Li Guanyi. The last time he accumulated jade liquid and dumped it into his Dantian, Li Guanyi cultivated the 12th level of "Breaking Formation Song", a top-notch internal skill among military strategists, and also developed a sword technique. Now, this jade liquid finally used it for the second time. Savings completed. Li Guan's eyes fell on the cloud-breaking sky-shaking bow. Think back to what just happened, thoughtfully. It seems that not only the Faxiang martial arts performed by masters at the Faxiang level can complete the last step of accumulating jade liquid, but also magical weapons can complete this step. I just don’t know what changes will happen if the jade liquid is poured out this time. Perhaps it was because picking up the bow just now was too exhausting, Li Guanyi felt a kind of fatigue rising from the bottom of his heart, and distracting thoughts kept coming and going in his mind. He had not calmed down for a long time, and could only rely on the bitter taste of tea to suppress it. Xue Daoyong never mentioned the bow again, but instead talked about some past events of the Xue family. His words were humorous and mixed with some quite thrilling experiences. Finally, a table of light food was served, with each person having a bowl of yellow rice porridge. A piece of roasted fish, a few fresh vegetables, some seasoning powder, and a piece of fruit. Li Guanyi said: "Senior's life is quite simple."
The Xue family is a wealthy family. The old man gave away at least 500 yuan of yard and land deeds without blinking an eye, but when it came to food, it seemed to be the same as what ordinary people ate, even worse than the three martial arts masters at Huichun Hall. At this time, he noticed that Xue Shuangtao glanced at him, looking like he wanted to laugh but was holding back. Perhaps it was the exhaustion that affected his perception, but Li Guanyi noticed a difference at this time. He sniffed the small plate of seasoning powder and said, "This is..." "Ginseng, Atractylodes, Poria." After a long illness, Li Guan suffered from severe poisons for ten years. He often dealt with medicinal materials and spent a long time in the medicine shop. He was born in two generations and had outstanding talents. He could smell several main flavors just by smelling them. Medicine, and tasted another mouthful of yellow rice porridge. There are also corresponding medicinal materials, but the bitterness has been eliminated and the taste is sweet. The qi and blood in the body and the internal energy of "Breaking Formation Song" became active. Even the huge consumption caused by just holding the magic weapon has been alleviated. Xue Daoyong said with a smile: "How?" Li Guanyi thought for a while and replied: "Shu Rehmannia glutinosa replenishes essence and replenishes the marrow, while ginseng nourishes the spleen and qi, replenishes qi and nourishes blood. Together they are the king's medicine." "Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos help ginseng and qi; Angelicae and white peony nourish blood and nutrients, and help nourish the heart. These are ministerial medicines." "Ligusticum chuanxiong is an adjuvant medicine, which activates blood circulation and promotes qi; licorice is an envoy medicine, which replenishes qi and harmonizes the central nervous system and harmonizes various medicines." "Old senior, this meal is a good thing to replenish your qi and blood." The old man was surprised for a moment, then he laughed and said to the girl next to him: "Look, you are wasting your good intentions by showing your charming eyes to a blind man. If you have good things, you must also be able to tell what is good." The guests are the guests and the host are enjoying themselves, unlike your elder and younger brothers who only know how to say delicious food. "Or just another bowl." "Cows chewing peonies spoil the scenery." As he was speaking, he raised his head and saw that the young man had already eaten up the yellow rice porridge, which was no less than a big elixir in three mouthfuls. The young man saw that the old man over there was stunned, and he immediately He laughed and said deliberately: "Then, seniors and juniors have also made a big splash."
"one more bowl." The old man laughed loudly. He actually admired this young man even more. Then he refused without hesitation: "Century-old mountain ginseng and fish from Tianchi are all beneficial to warriors. Even I rarely use them to entertain people. Where can I prepare so much for you?" "The boy has a big appetite." Li Guanyi regretted. He also wanted to bring one to his aunt. The young girl looked at the greedy appearance of the previously calm young gentleman, and finally burst out laughing. She felt that he was not that difficult to understand. After thinking about it, she pushed her bowl forward and said, "I... One bowl has not been touched yet, if you don’t mind, you can take it away.” He immediately emphasized: "Of course, fish can't." Li Guanyi tried the fish and found that it tasted very fresh and tender. The old man reminded that the fish was raised with medicine, which is good for warriors, but for weak people, it is like strong medicine, which is harmful. , Li Guan finished the fish and said, "It's really delicious." "If I could eat this kind of food every day, that would be enough." Xue Daoyong laughed: "Hahaha, you are planning to destroy the old man." "it is good!" "If you can break through within three years, come to my place and the old man will take care of you every day." "If you break through within a year, you can eat every meal." "I'll sell everything I have to give you food." After a meal, the host and the guest enjoyed themselves. Xue Shuangtao took Li Guanyi and left the Tingfeng Pavilion. The girl looked at Li Guanyi's clothes and said, "You are a guest now. Your food and clothing expenses are as per my family's." I'm here, it's already late today, you can come with me to get some clothes, weapons and elixirs." She paused, seeming a little embarrassed, but trying to maintain her nonchalant composure, she said: "You have to come early tomorrow." "I'm going to teach you footwork and archery." Li Guan nodded. Go get the weapons first. Today, the following countries are in dispute and fighting frequently. The imperial court has loosened control over certain weapons, such as knives, swords, wooden shields, and bows that require long-term practice to use. However, it can also control armors, crossbows, and The array of spears, which are more than one foot and two in length, is extremely harsh. The former walks around the world to protect his own safety. The latter is different. Xue Shuangtao took Li Guanyi to the warehouse of the Xue family's weapons store in his house. He stretched out his finger and pointed at the weapons inside, and said: "There are three types of knives here. The light knives are the fastest, the bayonet is the narrowest and can stab and cut, and the heavy knives are all made of hundreds of smelted iron. It’s just different from the famous weapon in the world.” Based on the characteristics of Pojun's eight swords, Li Guanyi chose a heavy black sword. The blade is thick and heavy, with the right center of gravity, suitable for chopping.
The scabbard is made of dark iron wood inlaid with copper and has tiger roar patterns. The blacksmith took a look and said, "A three hundred forged heavy sword, not much worse than the sharp weapons in the martial arts world, priced at ninety-seven strings of cash. The scabbard is made of high-quality dark-grained ironwood, which has been treated so that it will not be infested with moths or rust. It is inlaid with brass, and the end of the scabbard is hollowed out for storing elixirs." "The scabbard is priced at four strings of cash and three mo, with a total price of one hundred and one strings of cash. Since you are a guest official, you can only pay seventy strings of cash." Guests can get good weapons, but they have to pay for basic materials and labor costs. This kind of channel is already beyond the reach of ordinary warriors. Many warriors in the martial arts world can only use the iron swords knocked out by the blacksmiths at the entrance of the village and nailed two pieces of wood as the scabbard to travel in the martial arts world. Even Li Guanyi must praise it as a good deal. But now he, Mr. Li, only has three taels of silver tattoos on his body. After a moment of silence, he held the knife in his arms and looked at the girl over there. Xue Shuangtao said casually: "Just write it under my name." The blacksmith was surprised. He glanced at the handsome young Li Guanyi, then looked at the young lady, full of suspicion. He nodded and said, "Okay, if that's the case, I'll put it in your name, young lady." Xue Shuangtao nodded and took Li Guanyi to get a bow. The force of the bow must be at a level that Li Guanyi can barely pull to its full extent but with some difficulty. The bow must also be suitable for the young man's height at the moment. The girl swiftly took out bows one by one to try out, and finally chose three bows that were suitable for Li Guanyi. The six materials used to make a bow are trunk, horn, tendon, glue, silk and lacquer. The first bow was made of a kind of purple bamboo, which was extremely tough. Yellow ox horn was attached to the inside of the bow arm, and ox tendon was attached to the outside of the bow arm. Both could increase the elasticity and make the bow shoot faster. The price is thirty strings of cash. Li Guanyi asked what kind of glue was used to integrate the materials of this bow. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "It's Shu Rat." "It's made by boiling the muscles and skin of Shu rats. It has a good stickiness." "The main point is that it's cheap. Of course, if you don't want to, there are other options here." The second bow was made of Italian wood with bow arms, and was made of horn, horse tendons, and a mixture of fish glue. The work is extremely powerful and took two years to complete. It costs 110 strings of cash. This bow is more expensive than the knife on the boy's waist. Li Guanyi looked at the cheapest bow and was about to speak when he saw the girl raised her hand and pointed at the bow on the highest point and said, "Take that one down and let us see it." Li Guan saw that the bow was made of wood, but the bow body looked like it was twisted with golden threads. The inner corner of the bow is two feet and five inches long and has three colors: white, medium green, and thick at the end. The three colors are well organized. Li Guanyi doesn't know much about bows, but he can tell the good from the bad. This thing is very expensive! The middle-aged steward praised: "Young lady, you have good eyesight!"
"This bow took fifteen years to make. In winter, the bow trunk was split, in spring, the horns were made, in summer, the tendons were made, in the sun, the materials were put together, and in winter, the bow was placed in a slatted box to fix its shape. The wood used was mulberry, nine out of ten mulberry trees are hollow and nine out of ten are curved. There is a golden thread in the heart of the tree that is as yellow as gold and has excellent toughness." "It is made of rhino horn, crocodile tendons, and mixed with South China Sea shark glue." "It's just that the bow consumes a lot of energy, and it's difficult to open it completely." "The price is one thousand five hundred and thirty strings of cash." The corner of Li Guanyi's eye twitched. How many? ! He considered his words and said, "I think it's too expensive." Xue Shuangtao shook his head and said, "Grandpa once said that bows, like swords, are used to carry one's life. Sometimes, if the bow is more resilient, more arrows can be shot out without breaking. If the bow is more elastic, arrows can be shot out faster. This slight improvement may mean the difference between life and death." "Everything can be ambiguous, except life and death, which cannot be compromised even a little bit." "Take this bow down." The middle-aged steward said, "Yes, Miss." Xue Shuangtao held the bow and casually put an arrow on it, not even fully drawing the bow. He took a step forward, and with a sharp aura, he shot an arrow that pierced through a tree that was as thick as a man's embrace. The girl's hair rose up, revealing her fair chin and a pair of almond-shaped pupils. She nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, just put it in my name." "I remember my grandfather gave me a shop when I was ten years old. The profits from the past few years should be enough." "Here, sir, your bow." She was stunned when she saw Li Guanyi. He reached out his hand, held the young man's wrist, lifted his hand, and then gently placed the bow in Li Guanyi's hand, saying: "Since ancient times, beauties have given swords to heroes. Although I am not a beauty, I also believe what grandpa said. Sir, you will be a hero in the future." "This Sun Ni bow is a gift to you, sir." Li Guanyi: “…………” "Thank you." He looked at the knife at his waist and held a bow. Seeing the girl in front of him with her hands behind her back, he smiled slightly. Li Guanyi thinks. The eldest lady's charm is unparalleled. At this time, a white-haired old man had arrived in Guanyi City. He easily shook off the official guards and disciples who wanted to follow him, and said: "Friend Zu hasn't arrived yet, let's go for a walk." "See if there's anything interesting, eh, old friend?" He lowered his eyes and smiled, and in the space next to him that was invisible to the naked eye, a huge black turtle lowered its eyes and nodded. The oldest elder in the contemporary Yin-Yang School is [Si Ming].
Came by invitation. (End of this chapter)
