Chapter 115 Building a High Platform

Even with the gag of the four-eyed priest, old man Zhou still didn't let go of the price.It seems that at this price, Old Man Zhou has little profit.Originally, they were small things used by insiders. They were not unusual gadgets, and everyone knew the price.

If you charge too much, you will not only get bad customers, but also bad reputation.

In fact, this item doesn't cost much, but Taoist Simu wants to ask for more because he introduced Yang Mu to him.

In the end, Yang Mu took out five oceans from his pocket and pushed it directly to Old Man Zhou, ending the price tug-of-war.

Old man Zhou rowed across the five oceans with a smile, like a money fan, playing one by one in his ears, and the crisp echo made his eyes narrow.

"Bright! Uncle Ninth's apprentice is much more open!" As he spoke, he cast a sidelong glance at the Taoist priest, "Brother, have a cup of tea, wait a moment, I'll make arrangements for you according to the list."

Yang Mu nodded, took a sip of tea, and waited in peace.

On the one hand, the four-eyed Taoist master did not have the awareness of being a guest like Yang Mu. When he saw old man Zhou enter the back, he followed him in, and he did not treat himself as an outsider at all.

Through the curtain, Yang Mu could clearly hear the movements of the two people behind.

It seemed that he saw something good, and the four-eyed priest shouted in surprise: "My God! You even have 500-year-old peach wood here! It's still such a big piece!

When did you get it? The last time you came here, you haven't got such a good thing yet! "

Only old man Zhou said lightly: "You don't care about so much, it doesn't matter if it's good or not, you can't afford it anyway!

This thing is destined to miss you! "

Old man Zhou's words were like a sharp knife piercing the heart of the Taoist priest with four eyes, this is too hurtful!

Daozhang Simu moved his lips, "I..., you...!" He muttered for a moment and didn't know what to say.

In desperation, his eyeballs rolled quickly, and suddenly he shouted loudly: "Old man Zhou, don't think I'm poor!

I can't afford it, but someone can! "

"Oh?" Hearing this, the old man Zhou didn't stop arranging the goods in his hands at all. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at the four-eyed Taoist priest, and then he drooped his eyelids and lowered his head to get busy.

Seeing old man Zhou's disbelief, the four-eyed priest suddenly became a little anxious, "Don't you believe it, boy Yang, Amu, come in quickly!"

Hearing the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Yang Mu put down the teacup helplessly and stood up.Although he met Daoist Simu not long ago, Yang Mu already knew what kind of person he was.

To put it simply, he is able to bluff, has average skills, and looks good!He takes face very seriously, and his face is bigger than the sky.

Pushing aside the curtain casually, Yang Mu just leaned out when he was dragged in by the four-eyed priest.

Caught off guard, Yang Mu almost bumped into old man Zhou who was bending over and looking for something.

"Old man Zhou, did you see that I have no money, but this kid has money!"

This time, old man Zhou didn't even raise his head, "Don't be ridiculous, Uncle Jiu is destined not to make money, and his apprentice is not going to be any better!
500-year-old mahogany, I advise you to be more sober and not to do anything extravagant. "

The four-eyed Taoist priest was irritated by the old man's ignoring attitude, "Thanks to you who have spent most of your life struggling in business, no matter how you look at people, your eyesight is getting worse and worse!
Uncle Jiu's apprentice is one of the richest men in Ren's town!What's even more incredible is that it took only a few months to do all this.

Don't look at Uncle Jiu is destined to be hard-pressed to make money, his other two apprentices are also destined to be lonely.But the fate of the newly recruited apprentice at the back is completely different from the previous two! "

"Oh?!"

Old man Zhou seems to have finally become interested, "So, brother Yang is the destined person for this piece of 500-year-old mahogany!"

The four-eyed Taoist curled his lips, "Old man Zhou, don't talk about what you have and what you don't have, and quickly quote a sincere price."

The old man Zhou was also unequivocal. He stretched out his palm and waved it in front of the two people, "Five hundred oceans! One ocean a year, five hundred oceans in 500 years, this price is fair and fair! "

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest with four eyes immediately yelled, "Old man Zhou, you are too dark! Your peach tree grows an ocean every year!"

Old man Zhou knew that Taoist Simu couldn't afford 500-year-old things, so he didn't answer his words, but asked Yang Mu: "Brother Yang, do you think what the old man said is unreasonable!"

Yang Mu nodded, "That's not bad!"

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Taoist Simu and old man Zhou said. The key is that they have different positions.

Priest Simu was upset that Old Man Zhou had calculated the age of the mahogany indiscriminately. The mahogany from one year to ten years old was not worth much at all, at most it was used as firewood.Who has ever seen a piece of firewood that can be worth an ocean!

As for the old man Zhou's saying that one ocean per year is purely a lazy and trouble-free way of explaining it.

In Yang Mu's view, the value of a 500-year-old item cannot be determined simply by its price.After all, if a dead object is left for 500 years, its value will be magnified countless times.

Not to mention such a large piece of peach wood that has grown for 500 years, its value is simply incalculable. Yang Mu thinks that five hundred oceans is definitely worth it.

Fortunately, Yang Mu had always brought a lot of small yellow croakers with him, so he paid the money directly with the small yellow croakers, and this mahogany tree became Yang Mu's property.

This peach wood can make at least five peach wood swords.In terms of preciousness, the mahogany sword with wooden heart as the body in the middle is hard to match with the other four.

Taking advantage of the tools in Old Zhou's shop, Yang Mu made five peach wood swords by himself.Among them, the Love Heart Sword was kept by Yang Mu and given to Uncle Jiu.

Yang Mu also distributed the remaining four mahogany swords one by one.

Keep one for yourself, and those who see the four-eyed Taoist will give one away.The remaining two mahogany swords will be given to Qiusheng and Wencai in the future.

The four-eyed Taoist priest did not hypocritically reject the mahogany sword that Yang Mu gave him, and after taking it with a smile, he kept rubbing the sword body with his hands, and kept giggling.It's like getting a beauty that I haven't had for many years. Once my long-cherished wish is fulfilled, I will inevitably lose my composure for a while.

Old Man Zhou couldn't stand Taoist Priest Simu's look, "Okay, look at your potential, it's really embarrassing, don't you feel embarrassed?

Do you know that the way you are now makes people feel disgusting and uncomfortable. "

Priest Simu, who got the 500-year peach wood sword, was in a good mood, and he didn't bother to quarrel with old man Zhou.

Old man Zhou has already prepared the other things that Yang Mu wanted. Seeing that everything has been prepared properly, Yang Mu does not intend to stay here.The four-eyed Taoist master was not thinking about it, he got good things, and he didn't have the thought of keeping some cheap things.So he said goodbye with Yang Mu and returned to the inn.

Back at the inn, Yang Mu reported to him one by one what Uncle Jiu ordered to buy, and Uncle Jiu checked the quality carefully.The items are all very good, and Uncle Jiu is also very satisfied.

Don't think that obtaining rooster blood will solidify over time. In fact, in the industry, everyone has a special preservation method, but it has not been known to outsiders.

Otherwise, when something happens, killing and slaughtering again, the freshness is fresh, and the time may be a little too late.

Uncle Jiu dipped his finger in it on purpose, put it under his nose and sniffed it. According to his years of experience, there is nothing wrong with it.

Finally, Yang Mu presented the Taoxin Sword with both hands.

"Master, this time I went out with Uncle Simu and found a 500-year-old peach tree.

A total of five mahogany swords were made. After thinking about it, this mahogany sword can only exert its maximum effect if it is placed in the hands of the master, so that the precious pearl will not be dusted.

I also ask Master not to refuse, but to accept it! "

The Taoist priest with four eyes on the side also chimed in: "Brother, just accept it!
You see, Boy Yang respected my peach wood sword, and I didn't even refuse. If I go out to walk in the rivers and lakes, I might encounter some difficult things.The more magic tools you have in hand, the more chances of winning. "

Uncle Jiu still hesitated, "But this is not an ordinary thing. This kind of thing can be met but not sought after, let alone a peach heart sword!"

"Then what's the matter! No matter how good things are, they must be put in the right hands. You see, I am very self-aware. A 500-year-old mahogany sword is fine. As for the mahogany sword, I can't control it!

As for Boy Yang, hasn't he been looking for zombies? On the way back, I've told him all the exact information I know.

Even the rumors that have been heard have been elaborated.Such news needs him to go to verify it himself. "

After repeated persuasion by Yang Mu and Taoist Simu, Uncle Jiu finally accepted the Peach Heart Sword given to him by Yang Mu.

The initially formed mahogany sword cannot be used immediately, and a step of "opening the front" is required.Just like a metal forged sword, it can only be used officially after going through the step of sharpening.

The "opening" of the mahogany sword is just a symbolic step, and it does not mean that the two edges of the mahogany sword should be polished and opened.Instead, it is necessary to use cinnabar to trace patterns or engrave runes to form talisman seals with different attributes, so that the mahogany sword initially has the functional characteristics of a magic weapon.

Not only can it seriously injure and kill zombies, even ordinary little ghosts can't stand the power of a sword!
If the mahogany sword is not used at ordinary times, it should be enshrined or carried with you when performing martial arts to increase the spirituality of the mahogany sword.

As the spirituality of the magic weapon increases, its power will also increase.

Therefore, it is also an important must-do item to warm and nourish the ritual utensils at ordinary times.

However, in comparison, Uncle Jiu's peach heart sword fits far better than other peach wood swords.Therefore, as long as Uncle Nine takes care of it a little, he can use it like an arm.This will make Uncle Jiu very helpful to deal with the mysterious person behind Gui Mantong who is about to come.

That night, Uncle Jiu went to the Marshal's Mansion and pasted an urgently processed talisman on Zhang Xiaoshuai's eyebrows.And told the people in the Marshal's Mansion not to mess with this talisman, as long as this talisman is there, it can be guaranteed that Zhang Xiaoshuai will stay in his room quietly tonight, and will not run away like he used to. Go out and do something treacherous.

The people in the Marshal's Mansion, including Marshal Zhang and Mrs. Zhang, were dubious. They didn't know what to do, and they didn't know if this paper talisman would be as effective as Uncle Jiu said.

For so many days in a row, Zhang Xiaoshuai made everyone inside and outside the Marshal's mansion jump up and down at night, no one could sleep peacefully.

Dashuai Zhang and Mrs. Zhang sat in the hall anxiously that night.In the past, the two of them would sit here, listening to the servants in the mansion and reporting Zhang Xiaoshuai's situation to them from time to time.

The two of them really didn't want to come forward and see the strange and hideous face of their son.

Dashuai Zhang drank his tea one after another, while Mrs. Zhang was leaning on the armrest of the chair.The clock on the table rang ten times. Zhang Dashuai put down the teacup and looked at the dial of the clock. "It's already ten o'clock in the evening."

Only then did Mrs. Zhang realize, "It's already ten o'clock?! Aha! That's great!

Xiaoshuai hasn't had an illness until now. It seems that Lin Daochang is really capable, and he stopped his son's madness all at once! "

Zhang Dashuai nodded when he heard this, seeing that his perception was correct and his vision of seeing people was as accurate as ever.

Because Zhang Xiaoshuai didn't go crazy tonight, Zhang Dashuai felt a little relieved and asked Mrs. Zhang to rest first.He himself went to Zhang Xiaoshuai's room and checked it carefully. Zhang Xiaoshuai was lying on his bed and sleeping soundly.

Zhang Dashuai looked carefully and clearly, the frown that was originally furrowed in deep sleep disappeared now.It seemed that he had also become peaceful in his sleep, and his expression softened a lot.

This made Dashuai Zhang even happier. Seeing that his son's condition was much better than expected, how could he be unhappy in his heart!
Instruct those who are guarding the young master not to touch the talisman that Lin Daochang put on the young master's head.Otherwise, all military law is engaged!
People like Zhang Dashuai are vigorous and resolute and say what they say, and they often act in the style of the army at home.As long as he opens his mouth, he will definitely say what he says!

After Zhang Dashuai finished explaining, he nodded and went out.Seeing that the high platform less than ten feet tall has been built, I feel unhappy and a little dissatisfied with the progress of the project.

In fact, these construction personnel cannot be blamed. These people have been working all the time, and basically never rested.

The main reason for the slow progress of the project is because Zhang Xiaoshuai's room is also in the backyard of the Marshal's mansion.Although the feudal society has passed, the social ideology is still in feudalism.

Some ideas don't mean that they can be changed immediately.

The backyard of a big family is where the female relatives live, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter it.

The people who were working could not use their hands and feet, and were timid, so the speed of the project could not keep up.

Lieutenant Huang, who has been supervising the work, is a very winking person. Seeing Zhang Dashuai's uneasy expression, he immediately knew that it meant dissatisfaction.

Hurry up and ask people to speed up the progress in hand. As for whether it will disturb the resting family members in the Marshal's Mansion, this is not something that Adjutant Huang needs to consider at the moment.

Even if the construction speed was accelerated, the construction of the entire high platform lasted until the afternoon of the next day before it could be considered complete.

The next morning, Uncle Jiu, who was worried about the progress of the project, deliberately took Yang Mu and Taoist Simu to the Marshal's Mansion to see how far the project had progressed.

If the progress is too slow, you have to hurry up and supervise it.
