Du Kang and Tan Hua walked on the damp stone road in the alley. Fortunately, there were anti-slip grooves cut into the stone slab, so it was not considered slippery. The puddles accumulated in the depressions of the occasionally broken and missing stone slabs also caused them to lift their feet.
avoid.
With gloomy faces and alert expressions, every pedestrian in the alley carries a knife and is walking in a hurry.
The businessmen in the shops on both sides were standing or lying on the ground watching everyone passing by. No one was hawking or soliciting customers.
Du Kang, wearing a blue shirt and carrying a woman, passed by them. He didn't look like a weak hand. Although some obscure eyes swept over him, no one made a move against him before they were unsure of his depth.
No one tested him.
Pretending!
Du Kang commented on Tuwei Alley in his heart. He walked along the way and saw only a few intermediate masters here and there, but everyone here looked like a master.
It seems that only by disguising yourself as a poisonous snake hiding in the darkness and showing your fangs from time to time can you hide your weakness and avoid being eaten alive.
But in Du Kang's eyes, these behaviors were ridiculous. The slight tension he felt when he first stepped into Tuwei Alley had silently dissipated with the mysterious atmosphere here.
Du Kang, who was always paying attention to the sign hanging above his head, finally stopped in front of a blue and black cloth strip, with three large characters embroidered on it: Craftsmanship Workshop.
My eyes followed the wooden pole to the shop. The front was very small, with only one window and one door. An old man smoking a cigarette with his eyes closed was slumped on a recliner, puffing away smoke.
Craftsman's Warehouse is the official tool-making organization in Daliang. This small shop dares to have the same name as the official organization. Firstly, it can be seen that no one cares about this Tuwei Lane. Secondly, it can be seen that they are not small, boasting that the quality is comparable to
Shangguan Camp.
This is exactly what Zi Snake heard about in the past two days. It is a place where you can buy medium-grade magic weapons and magic weapons at low prices. Du Kang doesn't care that the other party's shop is located in the black market, and he doesn't worry about being hacked. He only cares about the goods.
Whether the quality is good or not, the price is not cheap.
In the Yin Shen, the five-color talisman moved in reverse order of the five elements, and the spiritual light that was originally turned on deliberately to avoid trouble suddenly dimmed. At this time, someone who was proficient in pupil magic looked at Du Kang, and could only see that he was a master among low-level monks.
Du Kang stepped into the shop, one step behind him while talking about painting, and followed closely behind him.
"I want to buy something at your house."
He went straight to the point and did not use the code words he had learned. Du Kang held his breath after entering the door, refusing to breathe in the smoke that filled the store.
The old man seemed to have just noticed that someone had entered the house. He opened his closed eyes with difficulty, stood up and pointed at the dark passage behind him. Then he relaxed and collapsed on the bed again. He took a long puff of dry smoke before showing a comfortable expression and calmed down.
Get angry.
Du Kang smiled noncommittally and walked into the darker passage with Tan Hua.
The walls on both sides of the passage were divided into small square grids with wooden boards, and jars of different sizes were displayed on them. When walking among them, you could faintly hear living things crawling inside, making rustling sounds.
.
This made Tan Hua a little excited, and she licked her lips as if she was eager for these things.
"Don't eat anything that is not yours. It will look like I have treated you harshly."
The passage curved not far ahead and turned downwards. Du Kang steadily went down the stairs in the lightless darkness.
People in this world seem to love building such spiral downward passages. This is true for the Tao family's dungeon, the Feng family's treasure house, and the black market in Canglan City. Du Kang has become accustomed to walking in the dark in this environment.
.
Fortunately, this craftsmanship workshop is not very deep from the ground. After walking in the passage for a while, orange-red fire came from the front.
Following the light of the fire a few steps further, a strong man with an iron helmet on his head and a bare upper body appearing with only a slit for his eyes appeared in sight.
The strong man was sitting on an iron chair. Even when he was sitting, he was almost reaching the top of the eight-foot-high cave. A ball of crimson flames floated out of thin air in the center of the cave. The firelight shone on his back, reflecting a beam of light.
A smooth oily sheen.
In front of the strong man is a large table, and behind him are two rows of weapon racks three feet long. Knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, whips, hammers, spears, all kinds of common weapons shine with various colors under the firelight.
.
As Du Kang's footsteps sounded in the cave, two firelights lit up in the strong man's iron helmet. The firelight stared closely at Du Kang, as if an iron man suddenly had a soul.
"I'm here to buy something. It's not the low-grade goods displayed here. I want at least mid-grade magic weapons. I've heard of the craftsmanship shop for a long time. Do you really sell everything?"
"Style, function, price."
The harsh sound of metal scraping against each other resounded in the strong man's throat. The aura on his body was iron-grey and lifeless. With the helmet and his voice, he looked like a steel puppet.
"What kind of weapons do I want? Can you provide them here?"
Du Kang was a little surprised. If this was the case, the name of this craftsmanship workshop would not be in vain.
"No, what we can sell you depends not only on what you want, but also on what we have. You can tell us your requirements and we will see if we have anything in stock that meets your requirements."
The strong man's voice was still harsh, but his speech was much smoother than before, as if his throat was a machine that had been idle for many years and was being lubricated by engine oil step by step and becoming more flexible.
"It should be less than fifteen thousand taels, a weapon that is strong and durable and suitable for use by large humanoid creatures. It is... a weapon that can be used by people who are a little bit bigger than my dear friend."
Du Kang thought for a while, organized such language, and gestured to the strong man in the iron helmet.
Fifteen thousand taels of weapons are no longer cheap. Not to mention that buying a two-entry courtyard outside Canglan City will cost more than 3,000 taels. Most of it is land money, which Lancang City has not had for hundreds of years since its establishment.
The price of a reputation that has been broken by monsters or other forces. Buying a house at a high price is a tax that must be paid if you want to live in a safe and prosperous place like Canglan City.
The force of the Sheng and Bai families is the basis for maintaining all this. As long as they are undefeated, Canglan City will always prosper.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Housing is the foundation for the residents of Canglan City to live and work. It is something that will never be sold unless it is absolutely necessary. If it is sold, where will you live? You have to go to the wild to face it.
Are there endless monsters?
More than one million people are crowded into dozens of small areas separated by city walls. Even if they are squeezed to death, they will not leave here.
Therefore, in Canglan City, if you want to spend more than 10,000 taels of cash to buy a weapon, it is something that only people and organizations with certain strength can do.
Although there may be a few such powerful individuals and organizations in Canglan City, they will not all crowd into the black market shop to buy magic weapons. Du Kang's business is still a craftsmanship workshop, and it may not necessarily be a month.
There is a large customer.
"Okay, then pay for it first. We won't deliver the goods until we see your money."
Tan Hua placed the package he had been carrying on a small table in front of the strong man, and opened the knot of the package. One hundred and fifty taels of gold reflected a golden-red light under the flames.
The fire in the strong man's eyes swept across the gold, as if confirming the quantity and authenticity of the gold, he continued to speak.
"I have many magic weapons that meet your requirements, but they are too expensive and you can't afford the price. There are three of them around the price of fifteen thousand taels."
"The Sky-shattering Hammer, a mid- to low-grade divine weapon, is two feet long and weighs two thousand three hundred and fifty kilograms. It is made of low-purity chijing iron into the shape of a hammer, and is inlaid with twelve black gold diamonds on the surface of the hammer. Chijing Iron
It is extremely heavy, and the black gold diamond is extremely strong and will not break into pieces. If you hold this hammer and encounter an intermediate monk who is not an accomplished monk, you will die if you hit it, and you will be injured if you scratch it."
"The Golden Bamboo Arhat Stick is a mid- to low-grade magic weapon. It is made from a thousand-year-old Arhat bamboo. It is three feet long, thin at the top and thick at the bottom. The thickest part is one foot thick and the thinnest part is four inches long. It is specially designed to be able to change.
Refined by monks with a strong physique, this stick is extremely hard and can be used by physical monks to break through formations and cities."
"The Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel, a middle-to-lower grade magic weapon, is smelted from Ruyi Divine Iron and Purple Gold Sand. It can change in size as you wish, is indestructible, and can hit and trap others without any disadvantage. It is also engraved with the Great Boundless Power Divine Curse by monks who practice Buddhist magic.
After transformation, this chakra can automatically float behind the head and be blessed by the Divine Curse of Infinite Power. It can extract external spiritual energy and pour it into the monk's body. Regardless of fighting or practicing, the demonic power will be endless and there will be no worries about the depletion of demonic power."
The fire in the strong man's eyes was projected into the air, and the images of the three weapons were vividly projected and hung in the air for Du Kang to choose.
The whole body of the Sky-shattering Hammer emits a hazy red light, and the black gold diamond on the hammer head shines with dazzling black light, which is breathtaking; the Golden Bamboo Arhat Stick is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, just like an ordinary bamboo with its branches and leaves cut off and its branches and leaves cut off, making it inconspicuous.
; The Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel is a hollow wheel with vague talismans engraved on it. The precious light shines everywhere, sometimes golden and sometimes purple.
"How much do they cost?"
The appearance of the three weapons is indeed extraordinary, but Du Kang also knows about product promotion, and everything must be based on the actual product.
Just listening to the strong man's introduction and looking at the images of the weapons, they are all suitable for Du Kang to use when he transforms into a giant spirit. The six arms of the three-headed and six-arm method determine that he will not have too many weapons. The only thing that can limit the number of Du Kang's weapons is financial resources.
"The Sky-shaking Hammer is 14,000 taels, the Golden Bamboo Arhat Stick is 14,800 taels, and the Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel is 16,500 taels. No bargaining. Choose one, pay with one hand, and deliver with the other."
"This is the first time I see a business like yours. I haven't seen the goods yet, so I have to choose directly. What should I do if these magic weapons are not as good as you said? Can I return them?"
"I'm thinking about you." The strong man took out three red talisman papers from his trouser pocket, unfolded them and slapped them on the table.
"The shipping charms are three hundred taels each, and they are still very affordable. If you want to see the real thing, I can send them all over, and you will pay this part of the cost."
Du Kang did not expect that this black shop called Craftsmanship Workshop would use a consignment talisman to transport goods. This consignment talisman is expensive, the transmission distance is less than ten miles, and the talisman needs to be torn up in two places at the same time to be effective. It is the only way to take effect.
Something that is only used in a few scenarios.
They actually use talisman paper to transmit magic weapons. They are so wealthy... No, this talisman paper costs me money. This black shop actually passes all the costs on to consumers. No wonder there are so few customers!
Du Kang scanned the projection in mid-air several times, and finally locked his sight on the Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel, stretched out his hand and pointed.
"This wheel looks very beautiful, let's take a look at it first."
The strong man did not move, but pointed to the gold bar at Du Kang's feet, indicating that there was not enough gold.
"Look at the goods first, then add money. I am not short of more than a thousand taels of gold."
The strong man stared at Du Kang for a long time, seeing that he had been standing there unmoved. Finally, after the fire in his eyes flickered, he picked up a piece of talisman paper on the table and tore it apart.
The two broken pieces of talisman paper burned, and a fire ring the size of a human head took shape in the strong man's hand. He stretched his hand in and pulled it out. A wheel that was only the size of a bracelet for the strong man appeared in his hand, and then the fire ring followed.
disappear.
"You have to pay before you see the goods."
The power of spells is strange and unpredictable, and there are many types. It seems that if the magic weapon is given to the customer directly, the strong man is also worried that the other party will just disappear and lose all his wealth.
Du Kang thought this was a reasonable request, so he pretended to fumble in his arms, but actually took out eighteen taels of gold from his stomach pouch and put it in the package, and finally pushed the package forward.
The strong man also pushed the Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel on the table, and both parties paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. The strong man was extremely cautious and did not let Du Kang touch his hand.
Du Kang expressed great regret that he could only check the information obtained by the panel at the moment of contact with the magic weapon.
【Name】: Ruyi Purple Gold Wheel
Level: Lower-middle grade magic weapon
characteristic:
The size is as you wish: the size can be changed as you wish, the maximum can be five feet in diameter, and the minimum can be the size of a ring.
Indestructible: Weapons with a hardness lower than Zijin will not be able to damage it at all.
Flying: The distance depends on the monk's demonic power and Yin Shen cultivation. It can fly around the monk, hit people, and trap people.
The Great Boundless Power Divine Spell: It can instantly transform spiritual power into demonic power, and the demonic power will be endless after the monk's head (there is an upper limit for transformation).
This is the real thing!
Du Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, injecting demonic power into the magic weapon, and refining the traces left by others. Only after confirming that nothing was missing, he reluctantly glanced at the Thundering Hammer and the Golden Bamboo Arhat Staff, and prepared to leave.
"That's it. You don't need to look at the other two. For me, this one is the best."
"My guest has good eyesight. You are the first person to buy a mid-grade magic weapon from me without trying all the abilities of the magic weapon here before leaving. Anyone with such a discerning eye must be someone who understands magic weapons. I hope you will do it again in the future.
I can do business with you."
"I hope so too. Your magic weapon is really good. When I come next time, I hope that the Sky-shattering Hammer and the Golden Bamboo Arhat Staff have not been bought by others."
"Then the guests should come earlier. My business is very good."
Once the sale is completed, the atmosphere between buyers and sellers becomes relaxed.
After saying a few more polite words, Du Kang glanced at the dazzling array of weapons behind the strong man without leaving a trace, and then looked at the strong man's iron-gray aura and the suspended and burning flames in the cave. After all, he was not sure of victory and could only face the situation.
Say goodbye and leave with a smile.
When he sensed that Du Kang and Tan Hua were leaving the shop door on the ground, the strong man quickly leaned down and brought his iron helmet close to the gold bars on the table, and then a deep intake of breath sounded from behind the helmet.
Colorful and rich smoke rises from the gold bar, ignoring the barrier of the iron helmet, and falls into the mouth and nose covered by the strong man's helmet. A layer of dark seven-color light emerges from the body surface, and there are countless longing for wealth and faint cries from the light.
came from.
If Du Kang were still here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this was the desire to smoke the incense that he could sense but could not arouse.
"Money, I want money. As long as I have money, I can have everything..."
"Come on, come on, as long as you save five more taels of silver, you can marry A Cui..."
"Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. When I get rich one day, I will trample all of you under my feet..."
…
Money can solve most of the world's troubles, so the incense and willpower contained in gold and silver are the most complex and chaotic in the world, far less pure than the willpower collected by the golden bodies in temples, but in this country where most of the population is firmly controlled by lords from all over the world
In the world, the wish power in gold and silver is already the best Yin Shen tonic that most monks have access to.
Countless shouts disturbed the strong man's thoughts. The bright and smooth blade surface of the weapon rack behind him reflected the embarrassed figure of the strong man holding his head and struggling.
The flames that were originally floating in the cave immediately fell on him, turning him into a little giant whose whole body was burning with flames.
The flame ignited the distracting thoughts in the will. In the skyrocketing flames, all the distracting thoughts became the burning fuel, and the painful groan of the strong man disappeared silently.
After a long time, when the flame left the strong man's body and turned into a ball of illuminating fire again, the strong man also picked up the gold bars on the table and threw them into a box in the corner of the cave, as if they were just for this transaction.
Optional extras.
…
Du Kang left the gloomy crafts shop and returned to the dull atmosphere of Tuwei Street. The sound of talking about painting rang out in the demon seal.
"Master, are we leaving like this?"
"The bait has been put down, it just depends on whether they will take action. If they are timid or think that the return from taking action against me is not high enough and do not choose to take action, your young master will not be able to steal people's money for no reason.
If we encounter an attack and resist, we are forced to fight back, and we will receive some compensation for the physical and mental harm caused to us by the other party, but it is not right to attack someone when you see money."
"I understand, Master."
With this harvest in mind, Du Kang maintained the dim aura on his body and slowly walked away along the way with Tan Hua.
When their figures left the window of the craftsmanship workshop, the old man who had been slumped on the couch with his eyes closed and smoking a cigarette opened his cloudy eyes, and a dim firelight flashed in his eyes.
