There is no snow in the nearby mountains, but they also lack vitality. The mountains here lack soil and are made of irregular large stones. In the winter when everything withers away, not even a single plant can be found on the mountains, let alone
Forget about living animals. Fortunately, the bright sunshine at noon brought a warm color to the mountains, otherwise it would be hard to leave a good impression here.
Many mines have been dug in the mountains, and there are many buildings near the mines. These mines and the buildings together form the Qishi Gate. You can say that this is a mine, or you can say that this is a martial arts sect.
Zhao Zheng had been to the Strange Stone Gate several times in the game. Although the terrain here was hundreds of times larger than the Strange Stone Gate in the game, the outline layout was basically the same. He easily found the Strange Stone Gate scattered among the mountains without looking for a guide.
Shi Pavilion, this is where the head of the Qishi Sect lives, and is also responsible for negotiating some ore sales.
He was well-dressed, and even the white horse he was holding was obviously of a rare breed. The disciples of Qishimen did not dare to neglect and warmly received him. He expressed his willingness to buy Linglong Stone. This kind of ore has many uses, is very rare, and is cheap.
Fei. The boss of this kind of big business cannot make the decision, so he can only ask the boss to come forward.
He sat down in the living room of Heshi Pavilion, sipping the steaming tea while waiting for the arrival of the head of the Qishi Sect. The head of the Qishi Sect did not keep him waiting for too long. When the tea was half down,
The leader came to the living room.
The head of the Qishi Sect is called Yan Shi. He is a very old man who looks like a head. He has gray hair full of vicissitudes of time, his eyes are as steady as a mountain, and there is a sword and a piece of stone hanging on his waist.
White jade pendant. He is a fifth-level heavenly warrior. Like all the disciples of the Qishi Sect, he practices the "Sword Carving Technique". This sword technique is derived from the understanding of carvings. His moves are mostly hook, point, pick, stab, and spin.
The main focus is gouging, just like the carving technique.
"It would be disrespectful to welcome a distinguished guest from afar, disrespectful, disrespectful." Yan Shi clasped his fists and greeted him politely, without any airs of being a boss.
Zhao Zheng stood up immediately, returned the courtesy respectfully, and said a few polite words, saying that he had heard of the famous name for a long time.
After the polite remarks, Yan Shi changed the subject and got to the point.
"Master Zhao, I heard from my disciple that you want to buy a large amount of exquisite stones."
"Yes, buy as much as you can."
"The output of Linglong Stone is very small. In my Qishimen, there is only a hundred kilograms left."
"That should be enough for me."
Yan Shi was obviously interested in Zhao Zheng's purpose of purchasing the Linglong Stone, but out of business politeness, he did not ask abruptly and directly talked about the price. This kind of stone is not cheap, costing more than 200 taels of silver per catty.
One hundred catties is more than 20,000 taels of silver. Zhao Zheng had a lot of spare money on hand and agreed to the price without lowering the price. Seeing Zhao Zheng's enthusiasm, Yan Shi agreed to lower the price, round up the price, and give away some scattered exquisite stones.
To Zhao Zheng.
"There are about ninety kilograms of exquisite stones in He's Pavilion. The rest of the exquisite stones are in other mines. It will take about two days to get them all. In these two days, Mr. Zhao has been wronged."
"I have been on the road for many days and am exhausted. I just want to take a rest. Two days is nothing."
"I see that you have a sword hanging on your waist, sir. You must be a good swordsman. It just so happens that our Qishimen also specializes in swordsmanship. If you are bored these two days, I can order my apprentices to compete with you for a few moves to pass the time.
Give me some time." Yan Shi happily invited. The Qishi Sect is located deep in the mountains, and its members rarely have the opportunity to compete with outside martial artists. Yan Shi said he wanted to help Zhao Zheng pass the time, but in fact it was more to train his disciples.
"Master Yan is so thoughtful, this junior can only ask for it." Zhao Zheng smiled and agreed. He is also happy to fight against all kinds of people and learn from them.
For Qishimen, a transaction of 20,000 taels is already considered a big deal, and there are only a few orders all year round. Yan Shi treated Zhao Zheng as a distinguished guest, and set up a sumptuous banquet at noon, warmly entertaining Zhao Zheng. After eating
After the meal, Yan Shi once again brought up the topic of sparring, hoping that Zhao Zheng could compete with his apprentice.
"Respect is worse than obeying orders. After you have had enough wine and food, do some exercise. It will help you digest your food." Zhao Zheng stepped into the courtyard, stopped next to a unique reddish-brown stone, turned around and waited for the gatekeeper of Qishimen to come forward. Qishimen With mining as its main industry, it has conducted in-depth research on various stones. In addition to this strange reddish-brown stone, there are also many other strange stones placed in the yard.
"Wei Meng, go and learn a few tricks from Mr. Zhao and gain a lot of experience." Yan Shi stood among the disciples, stroking his gray beard and ordered.
"Yes!" A powerful man said in response. The color of his skin was very close to that reddish-brown stone. This skin color should have been exposed to the sun for many years. He also had bare arms in the winter, and his skin was
His body was covered with bulging blood vessels and veins. He looked very rude, but his expression was quite honest.
Zhao Zheng greeted the disciple named Wei Meng. The two of them each pulled out their swords and fought in the courtyard. The sword blades reflected the sunlight above their heads and turned into streaks of white light with their rapid movements.
Moving forward and back, left and right, it is dizzying to see.
After only two fights, Zhao Zheng judged that Wei Meng's strength was only at the second level of heaven. There was a huge gap between him and his opponent. Even if they fought, they wouldn't learn anything. After fighting for more than a dozen moves, they gave Wei Meng enough face.
After that, he defeated Wei Meng with a move from "The Thirteen Movements of Wudang Sword Technique".
Wei Meng lost to a young man much younger than himself. He felt a little ashamed and blushed. He thanked him and left the game in a hurry.
"When we first met, I thought Mr. Zhao was good at martial arts, but I didn't expect you to be even more powerful than I thought. It seems that letting you compete with my disciples is a very right choice. They should be able to learn a lot.
" Yan Shi looked at Zhao Zheng again and praised him.
"Senior, that's a ridiculous compliment." Zhao Zheng responded politely, not taking these compliments seriously.
"Qin Yang, you are at the bottleneck of your cultivation. Please come on this time. This competition may be able to help you." Yan Shi called up another disciple to come out.
The man named Qin Yang stepped forward in response. He was much younger than the previous apprentice, but he looked more powerful than the previous one. His footwork was very steady and there was a faint aura of energy in his body.
Zhao Zheng fought with Qin Yang and found that his guess was indeed correct. Qin Yang was indeed much more powerful than Wei Meng. He had reached the threshold of the third heaven, and his moves were more varied. He had already obtained the true inheritance of the stone-carved swordsmanship.
He intended to pry into the art of stone carving swordsmanship, and was not in a hurry to defeat Qin Yang. He dissected many moves with Qin Yang. Most of the moves he used were from the "Thirteen Styles of Wudang Swordsmanship", and occasionally mixed with some Maha.
Self-created moves in swordsmanship.
The two were fighting together, with swords flying and figures flashing. To outsiders, the two of them were fighting equally well, but to insiders, it was obvious that Zhao Zheng had the upper hand and was firmly in control.
The longer the fight went on, the more Qin Yang felt that there was no chance of winning, and he had the illusion that the other party was guiding him to use every move of the stone carving sword technique. This idea surprised him, because he felt that only the leader
Only a martial artist of that level can do it.
"This little brother named Zhao is much better than me. Thank you very much for your advice." Qin Yang did not want to continue the fight and jumped out of the circle.
"You're welcome, I also learned a lot." Zhao Zheng smiled. He really learned something. During the fight just now, he had an idea and thought of a good sword move. This move was made from the stone-carved sword.
Adapted from a trick in the law.
Yan Shi replaced Qin Yang and let other disciples play. The level of his disciples was generally average. Most of them stayed at the second heaven realm. Only one third senior brother reached the third heaven realm. Although there was no winner in the competition, but
Zhao Zheng is obviously much stronger than these people, and he fights with ease every time.
After playing eight games, Yan Shi was worried that the distinguished guest would be too tired, so he called stop in time and terminated the sparring session. Everyone gathered together and talked about the sparring process just like a seminar.
Since Zhao Zheng mostly fought with Wudang swordsmanship, he was mistaken for a disciple of Wudang. Zhao Zheng vaguely admitted it without refuting. Yan Shi was a veteran of the martial arts world and had a sharp eye, so he recognized that Zhao Zheng was not entirely sure of the swordsmanship used.
The Wudang swordsmanship is mixed with some swordsmanship from other sects, and is more sophisticated. Yan Shi made some insinuations and asked where Master Zhao Zheng came from. Zhao Zheng claimed that martial arts were taught by family members and had no teachers. Yan Shi did not
Ask further.
After the discussion, Yan Shi took Zhao Zheng to visit the Heshi Pavilion showroom. In this huge room, there were dozens of stone sculptures of various sizes. The largest one was as tall as a person and the smallest one was only a fingernail.
Da Zhao was an outsider and couldn't see why. He just felt that these stone carvings were very detailed and his craftsmanship should be considered good.
"These stone carvings are all carved by members of the Qishi Sect. Most of them are by my hands, and the rest are by my apprentices. The swordsmanship of our sect is learned from carving. In the process of carving, we can deepen our understanding of this sect.
He has an understanding of swordsmanship, so he strongly encourages his disciples to carve stones." Yan Shi walked up to a jade carving of a pine tree. The jade was dark blue, which was very close to the pine trees in nature. "The beauty of jade and stone is everywhere.
Among all kinds of stones, jade is the most suitable for carving. I bought this jade from other places last year and spent two months carving it."
"The carving is very beautiful. I just bought a wood carving a few days ago, and I saw the stone carving again today. It seems that I have a relationship with carving recently."
"Wood carving and stone carving have something in common to a certain extent. In comparison, stone has higher plasticity, and the carved works are more detailed."
"Well, it is indeed very detailed. Even the texture of the pine leaves is carved out." Zhao Zheng squinted his eyes and carefully observed the details in the pine trees.
"Guess what I carved this pine tree out of."
"What else could it be? Of course it's a carving knife."
"Half right."
"Who is the other half?"
"It's the sword on my waist."
"You directly carve it with a sword?" Zhao Zheng was slightly surprised.
"As long as the internal force can be poured into the sword, it is not difficult to carve directly with the sword. If you are interested, I will perform it for you on the spot." Yan Shi led the way and led Zhao Zheng out of the showroom, turning left and right.
Another large room, here is the carving room, specially reserved for carving stones.
There were two disciples in the carving room who were carving. Their works were both in the rough stage. The stones were still very vague in shape, and it was hard to tell what they were carving. The two disciples stood up and greeted the master with a very respectful attitude.
.
Yan Shi asked his apprentice to take action, found a piece of ordinary black ore, and placed it on the table.
"It's embarrassing." After Yan Shi finished speaking, he pulled out his sword and swung it towards the black ore. A burst of sword energy burst out from the sword and was accurately carved on the black ore. The hardness of this black ore is not as good as
Jade is very soft to some extent, and wherever the sword energy passes, it immediately leaves a mark.
Yan Shi raised his sword and lowered it. The sword light flew up and down. He took Bagua steps with his feet and walked around the stone. After returning the sword and sheathing it, the black ore had changed into something else, forming a lifelike flower.
The black flowers have shiny petals and edges as thin as cicada wings, showing uncanny carving work.
"Awesome! This is really a unique skill." Zhao Zheng had to admire him and clapped his hands sincerely. Even a warrior who is more powerful than the fifth-level warrior may not be able to carve a flower with a sword in such a short time.
Flowers come out, which can only be achieved after a lot of hard work. The skills accumulated by time and sweat are always admirable.
"If you like it, little friend, I will give this flower to you." Yan Shi said with a smile.
"Thank you." Zhao Zheng stepped forward and pinched the black flower carefully, for fear of damaging the petals. He looked at the delicate flowers and had an idea, "This unique skill is good for making beauties smile. Carve one on the spot.
Giving stone flowers to girls is quite romantic."
"Haha, someone has actually used this trick. One of my disciples used this trick to capture the heart of a beautiful woman."
"Is such a thing really possible?" Zhao Zheng laughed dumbly.
After visiting the dazzling showrooms, Yan Shi took Zhao Zheng to see the mines. Because the winter was too cold, the mines had stopped working. In fact, there was nothing interesting to see. The two of them stayed not long before returning to Heshi.
Ge. Zhao Zheng had enough of visiting and planned to refine the Gengyang Golden Pill as soon as possible, so he asked Yan Shi for some exquisite stones in advance.
This kind of stone has a dark golden color and an uneven surface, as if it was randomly kneaded from mud and then hardened with fire. This kind of ore is rich in gold yuan, which can be felt just by holding it in your hand. Even if it is not
Refining Gengyang Golden Pill can also be practiced by directly absorbing Linglong Stone, but the effect is less effective.
Zhao Zheng took the newly acquired Linglong Stone and claimed that he wanted to take a rest. Yan Shi provided him with a clean and tidy guest room. After closing the door, he first put the heavy Linglong Stone into the warehouse, and then sat cross-legged on the bed.
, opened the dungeon list, found the alchemy room dungeon skillfully, and chose to enter. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
