Lin Jianfeng: "The market falls on the ninth day of every month, and today is the twenty-ninth, which is the day when the imperial market opens."
Wu Bei said to Xia Yetian: "Xia Yetian, let's go to the imperial city and you can continue to play with you."
Xia Yetian actually wanted to follow him, but he knew that he was not very familiar with Wu Bei, so he quickly said: "Okay, Mr. Wu, let's get together when we have time in the future."
After the four people left, Ye Ningbing said: "I heard that there are several century-old shops in the Imperial Market, and I have always wanted to visit them."
Wu Bei asked: "What century-old store?"
Ye Ningbing: "Laoxiang Pharmacy, which sells medicinal materials, has been in business for more than 300 years; Xu's Iron Shop, which sells weapons, has a history of nearly 400 years. There is also the 'Wanfu Building', which sells talismans and sells various elixirs.
The elixir shop has a history of more than three hundred years."
Wu Bei smiled and said: "I didn't expect that there is such a place in Shenjing. I should have come earlier."
Lin Jianfeng: "Brother Wu, it's not too late to come."
A few minutes later, the three of them got into a car, and Manager Hu took someone in another car and drove ahead.
Shihaizi covers an area of more than 100 square kilometers, most of which are mountainous lakes. The Imperial City is located in a mountainous area. The car drove for more than ten minutes before arriving at the entrance of the Imperial City.
There is also a threshold to enter the Imperial City. You need to spend one million to buy a ticket. One million is nothing to monks and rich people, but it can keep the idle people watching the excitement out of the Imperial City.
Manager Hu bought the tickets and several people filed in.
Entering the Imperial City, there was a winding stone road in front of them, and there were stalls just a few dozen meters further. However, the things on these small stalls could not attract Wu Bei's attention, so they went straight to the shops built in the middle of the mountain.
On both sides of the winding mountain road, many antique buildings have been built. Some of the buildings are quite large in scale and have large yards extended up the mountain.
There were many pedestrians on the road, and people kept entering the Imperial City. After walking for a mile, a large shop appeared, which was the Xu Family Iron Shop. The business of this shop was very prosperous, and people came and went. Many people bought weapons here.
Lin Jianfeng said quickly: "The Xu family has obtained the true inheritance of weapon refining and has built many spiritual weapons. Especially the weapons built by Xu Gong are hard to come by, and you often have to queue up for a long time to buy them."
Wu Bei has no interest in weapons. No matter how good a weapon is, can it be better than his natural disaster bone knife and nine flying swords? But people are here, and Lin Jianfeng and Ye Ningbing both want to pick something, so he goes with them.
.
Entering the shop, there were many weapons placed in the open air in the courtyard. Wu Bei picked up a black iron sword, which was very heavy in his hand and had a sharp edge. He struck with a snap of his fingers, and the sound of the sword was heard for a long time.
"What a sword!" Wu Bei praised.
Lin Jianfeng smiled and said: "The swords placed outside usually cost several million, but the real good stuff is inside."
Entering the hall, the hall is about ten meters high and very spacious. In the middle of the hall, there is a huge sword stand. On the sword stand is a three-meter-long giant sword, exuding an astonishing murderous aura. Ten steps
Within five steps, even the monks dare not approach.
There were many people watching the excitement around this giant sword. Some bold ones wanted to get closer, but in the end they all stopped five steps away.
There are many swords and knives displayed around, and there is a shopping guide next to each weapon to explain it.
Lin Jianfeng: "The cheap swords here cost tens of millions each, and the expensive swords cost hundreds of millions or billions."
Ye Ningbing turned around and saw a blue python skin scabbard with a rosewood tip. Many gems were inlaid on the surface, making it shine. She took the long sword and pulled out the blade to look at it. Only the blade was visible.
It is narrow, about two fingers wide, and the surface of the sword has fish scale-like textures, emitting a deep cold air.
Wu Bei saw the sword and said, "The sword is good."
The shopping guide was a woman in her twenties. She smiled and said: "This sword is called 'Seven Sounds'. When the sword is drawn, it can make seven kinds of sounds to disturb the enemy's consciousness."
"I want this sword." Suddenly, a woman's voice sounded from behind.
Wu Bei turned his head and saw that the person speaking was a woman in her mid-twenties, with good looks. She was wearing a black dress, her eyebrows were slightly raised, and she looked a bit fierce.
Ye Ningbing didn't even look back and said to the shopping guide: "I bought it."
The shopping guide nodded: "Okay. This Seven-tone Sword sells for 870 million."
Ye Ningbing said: "Brother Wu, help me put it on and I will pay it back to you later."
Wu Bei took out a check worth one billion and handed it to the shopping guide.
The woman behind said angrily: "Are you deaf? I said I wanted to buy this sword!"
While buying the sword for Ye Ningbing, he said with a smile: "We also have many good swords in our shop, you can choose from them."
"I want this sword!" The woman came over angrily and reached out to snatch the sword box from Ye Ningbing's hand.
Ye Ningbing stepped back a few steps and said angrily: "What are you doing?"
The woman stared at her and said: "As I said just now, I bought my sword. But you still want to snatch it from me. You are going against me!"
Ye Ningbing: "The money and goods have been paid, and this sword now belongs to me."
The woman looked angry and said coldly: "Very good! But I want to remind you that those who oppose this lady will not end well in the end!"
"Are you threatening me?" Ye Ningbing also showed an angry look. She was a person with profound wisdom, but she was actually being threatened at this time, and she had hidden murderous intentions in her heart.
Behind the woman, a man in his thirties said sternly: "Open your eyes and see clearly, this is the lady of General You Da's family!"
Ye Ningbing was too lazy to talk to these people and said coldly: "It's okay if you want this sword. Let's go out and talk!"
When Wu Bei wanted to follow him out, Ye Ningbing smiled and said, "I can handle this trivial matter. I'll be back in a minute."
Wu Bei knew the details of Ye Ningbing, so he was not worried. He nodded and said, "Okay, be careful."
Ye Ningbing and the lady from General You Da's family left the shop together, not knowing how to "talk".
Only five minutes later, when Wu Bei was looking at another dagger, Ye Ningbing came back. The sword box in his hand was gone, and the seven-note sword was already in his hand.
Arriving in front of Wu Bei, Lin Jianfeng couldn't help but ask: "Miss Ye, they..."
Ye Ningbing said calmly: "I cut down two of them, and the rest ran away."
Lin Jianfeng gave a thumbs up: "Miss Ye is very powerful. But General You is quite powerful among the military attachés. If you beat his daughter, he probably won't let it go."
Wu Bei: "What is the position of General You?"
"General You is in charge of the garrison at the North Third Gate. He has seven or eight thousand soldiers under his command. The garrison guarding the gate is the most well-heeled. Whoever comes in and who comes out has to look at their faces."
Wu Bei: "Just a janitor."
Ye Ningbing didn't take it to heart, she asked: "Have you found the weapon you like?"
Wu Bei shook his head: "Not yet." Then he turned his attention to the sword in the middle.
Lin Jianfeng said quickly: "Brother Wu, this sword is the treasure of the Xu family's iron shop. It is called the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword. It is the work of an ancient sword-smith. However, this sword is difficult to subdue. There have been cases throughout the ages.
Countless masters wanted to take it as their own, but they all failed in the end. Xu Gong had contributed to the founding of the country, so Emperor Xia gave this sword to Xu Gong."
The shopping guide woman next to her said: "Xu Gong said that whoever can pull out the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword and use the sword to perform the sword skills on the sword wall will be given this sword by the Xu family!"
