Zhao Zheng held up his hands and stepped in. There were oil lamps in this room that could light up automatically. As soon as he stepped in, the oil lamps made a popping sound, and multiple large flames lit up, lighting up the room.
It was brightly illuminated. He looked around. The room he just entered was not big. It could only hold four Eight Immortals tables at most. There were three doors in front and on both sides.
On the three doors, there are three words A, B and C written respectively.
Tong Wanhua then walked in, her heels dropped, and the iron gate behind her closed automatically.
"The rooms in this warehouse are different, and the hidden weapons they store are also different. The one I want to take you to is the warehouse with the word "B". Mr. Zhao, please come here." Tong Wanhua made an inviting gesture towards the door with the word "B" written on the left hand side.
.
Tong Wanhua did not make any further introduction, but Zhao Zheng knew the differences between these three rooms because of his experience before traveling.
The three doors A, B, and C are arranged in order. The hidden weapons in door A are the best, and the hidden weapons in door C are the worst. Tong Wanhua invited him into door B, thinking that she wanted to give him some medium-level hidden weapons.
The concealed weapon is pretty good, nothing to be picky about.
As she spoke, Tong Wanhua walked to the B-shaped door with a smile, raised her hand and grabbed a circular metal ring beside the door, and used a special technique to twist it left and right several times.
The door creaked and split into two halves, one on the left and one on the right.
What this door leads to is not a large room, but a very small room that can only accommodate a few people standing close together. To put it harshly, the area is about the same size as a hut.
Tong Wanhua led Zhao Zheng into it, stood side by side, reached out and turned a door knocker on the wall of the small room. They heard a series of metal mechanisms sounding, the door in front of them closed, and the entire small room shook.
After a while, it sank downwards.
The room fell suddenly, and both of their bodies swayed slightly.
"Don't worry, Young Master Zhao, this is not a collapse of the room, but a mechanism I made that moves up and down. This mechanism is similar to a wooden pulley used to fetch water. It can go up and down, and is connected by a chain in the middle, which holds the entire room.
This mechanism has a very strong load-bearing capacity. Even if something weighing several thousand kilograms is placed on it, it will not be crushed. The two of us weigh less than three hundred kilograms together, so there is no problem at all standing on it." Tong said.
Wanhua explained with a smile.
"Senior's craftsmanship is really superb and miraculous. It's amazing, admirable, admirable." Zhao Zheng was polite and flattering on the surface, but muttered in his heart, "Isn't this just an elevator..."
"My ability is not that big of a deal. It may look miraculous to outsiders, but to insiders, it will only make people laugh. The only people who can really be praised for their superb skills and miraculous craftsmanship are us mechanical engineers.
The founder of Gongshu Ban is just one person. He has a superior IQ and superb skills. He can make wooden birds that can reach the moon for nine days, and wooden fish that can swim in the four seas. It is far beyond what our younger generations can match. It is a pity that after the contention of a hundred schools of thought,
, the country has been torn by wars, and has changed dynasties several times, and many technologies have been lost in the wars. If the technologies from the period of contention of a hundred schools of thought could be completely handed down, the art of institutions in the world today will definitely be more prosperous, and the talent will not be withered like it is now.
." Tong Wanhua said regretfully.
"This is indeed a pity. I promised my seniors that if I get any sketches or writings on the mechanics left over from ancient times in the future, I will definitely give them to you with both hands, so that this skill can be passed down and spread.
Ye." Zhao Zheng agreed.
"That's very good. It means you are serious about it."
While talking, the room stopped shaking and fell to the ground. The door in front of the two of them opened on its own, and a fire lit up outside.
Zhao Zheng looked across and saw that the room he arrived this time was much larger and had a lot of things on it. At first glance, it looked very messy.
"We are at the place, please come in." Tong Wanhua pointed her hand and took the lead to enter.
Zhao Zheng followed behind and continued to look at the room.
This place is buried deep underground and covers an extensive area. It is seven to eight feet wide and more than twenty feet long. The walls are made of a solid stone that glows silver and looks unbreakable. There are many metal hooks on one side of the wall.
Each hook has a hidden weapon hooked on it. There are several large wooden racks placed in front of the other wall, and the wooden racks are also filled with hidden weapons.
At the base of the wall inside the house, there are many tightly closed wooden boxes with labels attached. In addition to concealed weapons, there are also some materials and tools used to make concealed weapons.
There are also some concealed weapons that are too large to be stored conveniently, so they are simply placed in the open space.
There are many kinds of hidden weapons displayed in the house, large and small, long and short, all of which make people dazzled at a glance.
"Shao Xia Zhao, you asked me to forge the Zi Mu Jiu Lian Arrow. I already made it yesterday. Now you can take it away." Tong Wanhua walked to the shelf next to the door and took out the Zi Mu from one of the shelves.
Nine consecutive arrows were presented in front of Zhao Zheng.
This Zimu Jiulianjian is not big in size and is very compact. It consists of two parts. One part is the quiver for storing the short arrows, and the other part is the strap for binding the arms. The part of the quiver that is close to the skin is
, there is a mechanism button, as long as the mechanism button is touched hard, nine short arrows can be fired continuously.
Zhao Zheng took the Zimu Jiulian Arrow and couldn't put it down, played with it back and forth, and lightly pressed the button twice to confirm the strength of the button. This button is very strenuous, and the arrow can only be released when pressed with great force.
The short arrow in the box was fired.
Ordinary people want to press the button, they can only hold the Nine Arrows in their hands and press it hard with their fingers. But warriors don't need to go to such trouble. As long as they have internal power, they can directly touch the button with internal power without holding it.
Just put it in your hand and apply it against your skin.
Wrap the nine consecutive arrows around your arm and hide them in your sleeves, and you will have an extra trump card to catch the enemy off guard.
Miao Li used his mother-in-law's nine consecutive arrows to kill Miao Shaobai.
This Zimu Jiulian Arrow is very good. It is very good in all aspects. The only drawback is that it is a disposable product. Once used, it will be scrapped and the short arrow cannot be refilled.
"The nine-stringed arrows you brought over have a design problem, which can easily lead to jamming. After careful improvement, I have corrected this problem. Now the nine-shot arrows you have in your hand will never appear.
There is a jamming problem. As long as you press the button, nine short arrows made of holding stones will be fired out in a series, so you can use it with confidence." Tong Wanhua confirmed by the side.
Zhao Zheng was not polite, he rolled up his sleeves on the spot and clasped the Zimu Nine Arrows on his left arm. His right hand needed to be used to hold the sword, which was inconvenient, so it was better to wear the Zimu Nine Arrows with his left hand.
A good choice. He pulled up his sleeves to cover the cold light of the Zimu Jiulianjian. He cupped his hands towards Tong Wanhua and said, "Thank you, senior. I am very satisfied with this Zimujiulianjian. I hope this mechanism is a hidden weapon."
It will be of great help to me in the future.”
"Haha, instead of expecting it to help you, it's better to expect it to never be able to help you. You know, once you use a hidden weapon, it proves that you are in trouble and danger."
"That's true."
"You sent me the prescription of Yin and Yang and He Dan to help me get rid of the Yin and Yang palm wind. This is like giving help in the snow and helping me a lot. Your favor is so great, and you can only rely on a small person.
The mother's nine consecutive arrows are not enough to repay you. As an elder, I cannot owe you a junior. In addition to the mother's nine consecutive arrows, you can also choose three other hidden weapons in this room, which are my little
My thoughts." Tong Wanhua lifted up her wide sleeves and pointed at the dazzling array of hidden weapons in the room.
Zhao Zheng did not show pretentious politeness, and immediately agreed: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful, then this junior will start to pick."
"Please feel free to do so," Tong Wanhua said.
Zhao Zheng walked forward, his eyes wandering around, choosing among the many hidden weapons. With his experience before time travel, he could recognize most of the hidden weapons here and knew what was good. Since he had to choose, of course
It's time to pick the best one.
After selecting for a while, he fixed his eyes on a pair of small objects, carefully took them off the shelf, held them in his hand and looked at them under the light.
From the appearance, it is a pair of thin iron plates, about the size of a palm, in an oval shape, with a small hole in the front and a button that can be pressed on the back.
Tong Wanhua glanced at what Zhao Zheng was holding, twirled her hands up to her waist and silver beard, and stepped forward to explain: "This hidden weapon is called the 'boot needle'. It is specially installed on the soles of shoes, and the small holes are aligned with the toes of the shoes.
, when you press the button during use, you can shoot out a long needle from the small hole. This kind of hidden weapon is different from the Zimu Nine Arrows. It can be used repeatedly. After shooting out the long needle, you can also refill it, but the inside
The number of long needles that can be stored is very small, and a maximum of three can be stored in one."
"The attacks under the feet make it difficult for people to guard against. This 'needle in the boot' is really mysterious. I like it very much. If senior is willing to give it away, I will shamelessly ask for one back." Zhao Zhengxi said.
"I said before, you can choose any three of the hidden weapons in this room. No matter which one you choose, I will not be stingy and will definitely offer it with both hands." Tong Wanhua said generously.
"Haha, well, among the three thank you gifts, let's count this 'needle in the boot' as one."
"I also think this boot needle is good. It happens that there is still a part of the setting stone you gave me that is not used. I can use the remaining part to make some long needles for you and save it for the boot needle to use as needles to avoid waste.
.”
"Then thank you, senior." Zhao Zheng thanked him, temporarily put the boot needle back on the shelf, and continued to look for the next hidden weapon.
Zhao Zheng picked slowly and enthusiastically, and Tong Wanhua beside him did not rush him. After searching for a while, he found his second favorite hidden weapon and took it in his hand.
What he found this time was a bag of small iron balls. Each iron ball was the size of a walnut, with pits and red paint on it. There was a label on the mouth of the bag containing the iron balls, which read: "Walnut Palm Thunder"
Five words.
"This thing is not simple. It's called Walnut Palm Thunder. It will explode as long as it is hit hard. It is powerful enough to blow up the skin and flesh of a fifth-level warrior. If you grab a large handful and throw it over, even a sixth-level warrior will not be able to bear it. It is a kind of
A very good self-defense weapon." Tong Wanhua explained again.
"This thing is not bad, I want it." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"Okay, you can find one last thank you gift."
Zhao Zheng put the walnut palm thunder back in place and continued to search. This time he went around the wall with many hooks and looked around. Searching and searching, his eyes suddenly stopped and fell on a wall where the hooks were hanging.
Above the crossbow arrow.
This crossbow is made of wood, with a small and unique shape and a curved arc. The crossbow machine on the crossbow is very thin, only palm thick, which is much thinner than ordinary crossbow machines.
There is a label on the crossbow arrow that reads "Jade Back Mountain Crossbow"
Just looking at the name is very powerful.
This is indeed the case. Among the many hidden weapons that Zhao Zheng just identified, this one is the most powerful and the most famous. It is the leader among the medium-grade hidden weapons. This kind of crossbow is small in size, but powerful. It has the ability to break mountains.
Even seventh-level heaven warriors would find it difficult to withstand the power of breaking rocks. Moreover, this kind of crossbow is small in size and has a special structure. It can be carried on the back and hidden in clothes, making it easy to use in sneak attacks.
Carry the "Jade Back Mountain Crossbow" behind your back. When using it, bend down and pull down the mechanism cord to trigger the crossbow and shoot the arrow attached to it. Because the hair is lowered and the arrow is lowered, it is difficult to aim when shooting.
Therefore, it is best to use it at close range. The closer the distance, the easier it is to hit, and the greater the power.
This "Jade Back Mountain Crossbow", like the previous concealed weapons, has a bit of a hidden weapon, but a concealed weapon is inherently dangerous. If it is not dangerous, it would not be called a concealed weapon.
People in the Jianghu are very open and aboveboard. Many people look down on the use of hidden weapons and disdain to use them. But Zhao Zheng doesn't care about this. He likes hidden weapons very much and uses them whenever he wants. He has different concepts from most people in the Jianghu and views things more carefully.
Be more open-minded, don't worry about saving face, and don't stick to worldly views.
When Tong Wanhua saw Zhao Zheng picking up the "Jade Back Mountain Crossbow", she murmured in her heart and asked: "Why do you always choose those powerful and high-quality concealed weapons?
Have you done any research?"
"I have no research on hidden weapons of institutions. The reason why I chose these hidden weapons is purely accidental." Zhao Zheng lied and then asked with a smile, "From what my seniors said, could it be that the hidden weapons I selected are all good?
"
"Well, you chose very well. Every concealed weapon is my proud work, especially the 'Jade Back Mountain Crossbow' in your hand. It is a unique masterpiece among concealed weapons. It cost me a lot of money."
Waiting for materials and a lot of hard work." Tong Wanhua then talked endlessly about the manufacturing process of this crossbow arrow, its power, and how to use it, which was basically consistent with what Zhao Zheng knew.
"Since the seniors admire this 'Jade Back Mountain Crossbow' so much, then the juniors will accept it. In this way, we have collected three thank you gifts, and there is no need to choose any more." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"I thought it was nothing to ask you to choose three concealed weapons, but I didn't expect that you picked three high-quality ones, which really made me feel a little distressed. However, it is too late to regret. You can add these three concealed weapons plus the Zimujiu
Take it away with the arrows as well." Tong Wanhua said with a bitter smile.
Zhao Zheng thanked him profusely. He held the concealed weapons he had selected in his arms, pocketed them in his wide clothes, and followed Tong Wanhua out of the Y-zimen warehouse. He returned to the house with a bunch of concealed weapons, like
It was like a general putting on armor before going to the battlefield, with several hidden weapons on his body.
He carried the Yubei Mountain Crossbow behind his back and covered it with his clothes, which gave his back a few more edges and corners, but you couldn't see it unless you looked carefully. He took out a few walnut palm thunderbolts and put them into a small dart
In the bag, he tied it side by side with the treasure bag so that it can be taken out and used at any time. As for the boot needle, he also stuffed it into the sole of the shoe. He took out some of the original fabric in the sole and threw it away, and then sewed the opening to the
At the same time, only the small black hole on the tip of the shoe is left.
Putting on these hidden weapons, his whole body took on a new look, as if he was a different person. Now he can take out bombs when he digs out his pockets, shoots short arrows by raising his hands, shoots out steel needles when he steps on his feet, and can shoot out energy by lowering his head.
When he shoots the crossbow, he is really covered in weapons.
It's a pity that the arena competition to be held today at Zhujian Villa only allows the use of swords, and cannot use hidden weapons. Otherwise, with his hidden weapons, he is expected to win the first place.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Zhao Zheng faced the bronze mirror, pretending to be in the middle of a battle, raising his hands and feet to fire out hidden weapons and kill the enemy. He still had a childlike innocence and played very happily. He played for a long time before giving up.
Another day later, Tong Wanhua used the remaining holding stones to make more than ten green steel needles according to the previous agreement, and gave them to Zhao Zheng, keeping them for filling the boot needles.
Zhao Zheng got the long-cherished Zimu Jiulian Arrow and many hidden weapons. He achieved the purpose of his trip and it was time to leave. Together with Zihua, he said goodbye to Tong Wanhua, resigned and left. Tong Wan
Hua was an old man who liked peace and quiet and didn't like noise. He sent the boy to send the two of them out of Gongshu Village without even saying a word to persuade them to stay.
"It's so good to eat, drink and relax in Gongshu Village. I really can't bear to leave. Once I hit the road this time, I have to suffer the bumps and wanderings again." Zihua was riding on the horse, her body was ups and downs, and she said casually.
said.
"You can just treat it as a sightseeing tour. The next two places we are going to are not dangerous. After we go there, we can take a detour back to Sword Forging Villa to participate in the upcoming arena competition. This
It shouldn't take much time in the middle." Zhao Zheng consoled him.
"It would be great if we really go sightseeing, but I'm afraid you'll get into trouble again." Zihua gave Zhao Zheng an angry look.
"Haha, if life goes smoothly and there are no troubles, then what's the point?" Zhao Zheng said nonchalantly.
"That's true, but others are looking for trouble, but you are actively looking for trouble. The concept is different."
"I'm not looking for trouble randomly, but I'm specifically looking for trouble that pays off. If you don't believe it, look at this." Zhao Zheng flicked his left sleeve, revealing the nine consecutive arrows wrapped around his left arm, with a cold silver light shining on it.
It looked like an unusual thing, "Senior Tong gave this to me before I left. Isn't it good?"
"There is no reward for no merit. He gave you such a good concealed weapon, it must be because you helped him a lot. These days, you and those doctors don't know what they are doing, and they are mysterious.
It’s very secretive. Tong Wanhua even came to me privately and warned me not to talk too much and tell the public about what you have done. It’s as if you are planning a rebellion, which is really funny.”
"If you want to know, it's okay to tell you, but it won't do you any good if you know."
"Forget it, I don't want to know the little secret between an old man and a group of old doctors. You don't need to tell me, just keep it to yourself."
"Are you blaming me for not telling you everything about the journey?"
"I'm not blaming you. You're an employer, so there's nothing wrong with concealing some private matters. I just feel like you know a lot of things you shouldn't know. Those things obviously have nothing to do with you, but you just know it. It's like
It's like a prophet who knows something about Wei Dali's body, the Zhongruyu liquid hidden by Baidong Sect, and what happened to Tong Wanhua this time. These are obviously secrets among secrets, but you just know it.
This is the strangest thing to me." Zihua turned her head and looked at Zhao Zheng with an unpredictable look.
Zhao Zheng's smile froze. This was really what happened. It wasn't that he liked to hide things from Zi Huan, and it wasn't that he liked to lie. It was just that the identity of the time traveler was really unclear.
Zihua's question stumped Zhao Zheng. Just when he was thinking about how to explain it, a group of people came riding on horseback from the opposite side, and they helped him out.
"Huh..." The leader pulled the reins and stopped the horse halfway. Then he got off the horse and met Zhao Zheng and the other two. Several people behind him also followed suit and got off the horse.
Zhao Zheng took a closer look and saw that the leader looked very familiar. He was actually the leader of the Wudang Sect, Jiang Yong. Behind Jiang Yong were his son Jiang Ming and a group of Wudang Sect disciples. Zhao Zheng was puzzled.
He didn't understand why Jiang Yong brought people to Gongshu Village again. He didn't dare to lose his etiquette, so he got off the horse and walked forward holding the reins.
The two parties met in the middle of the road, greeted each other, and exchanged pleasantries.
"We parted ways not long ago. I didn't expect that we would meet again. It's really a bit of a fate." Zhao Zheng said with a smile.
"It's not fate, but we have never left the inn near Gongshu Village. We have been waiting for you to come out of Gongshu Village." Jiang Yong said seriously.
"How could Mr. Zhao be so virtuous and capable? How dare I bother you all to wait? If anything happens, just send someone to deliver a message to Gongshu Village." Zhao Zheng said in astonishment.
"This matter is not trivial. It is a long story that cannot be explained clearly in just one message. If Zhao Shaoxia is free, you might as well wait with me to get together at the inn and we can talk in detail."
"Of course I'm free, senior, please lead the way." Zhao Zheng respected the Wudang Clan, a well-known and upright sect, and was willing to contribute to it, so he agreed wholeheartedly. (To be continued.)
