Taoist master wants to ascend

Famous instrument!

The light cyan light came into view, and Li Yuan, who had almost dug the backyard ten meters down, was shocked:

Li Yuan stepped lightly, and used the force to dig out a ten-meter-high pit in the earth wall. He looked around at the night and made sure the courtyard door was closed tightly, then went back to the house and slipped the little mouse out.

After turning back into the pit, Li Yuan left the little mouse outside while he drew out his Autumn Water Sword and dug deep towards the place where the light cyan light was surging.

Qiushui Sword cut iron like mud and mud like paper. Soon, Li Yuan felt the tip of the sword pause slightly, as if it had penetrated some gap.

Click!

Li Yuan made a prompt decision, retracted the Qiu Shui Sword, stretched out his hands, and pulled away the soil. After a while, he was standing outside a stone wall.

Li Yuan couldn't help but admire him as he shook off the dirt from his body.

This stone chamber is 16 to 17 meters underground. It cannot be found even if you dig 30 feet of ground, let alone 3 feet.

Naturally, a stone wall could not stop Li Yuan. He drew out his Qiu Shui Sword and cut a hole in a few strokes. However, he did not rush in and cut the entire stone wall into rubble.

After making sure that there were no traps in the stone room, he walked in.

The stone room is not big, two or three meters square, and has fewer things. There are only two wooden boxes placed in the corners, in which the gold snake-wrapped hand is placed.

Li Yuan muttered in his heart, but he still used his sword to cut open the two wooden boxes from a distance. He only heard a few "chichichi" sounds, and blue sleeve arrows were nailed to the ground.

Li Yuan glanced at it and no longer cared about it. He lit the fire seal and looked at it in the dim light.

In the wooden box on the left, there was a thick stack of house deeds, land deeds, and most of the deeds of sale. Li Yuan found his own and put it aside alone.

In addition to the house deed, there are basic diagrams of the Green Snake Spear, White Ape Hammer, and Tiger Roaring Knife. In addition, there are more than 20 silver notes, fifty taels of gold, ten taels of red gold, and some pearls and agates!

After doing some counting, Li Yuan's heart beat faster. This windfall far exceeded the previous sum!

With this money, he does not need to pay monthly money in advance for the time being.

The big shopkeeper's monthly payment is four hundred taels per year, and one year's advance is already a little bit cramped. If he really advances another two or three years, I'm afraid the weapon forging shop will be shut down on the spot.

The blacksmith shop has a big business and a lot of people to support. The monthly payment of more than a hundred people, including iron materials and charcoal, is not necessary.

Li Yuan picked up the pair of golden gloves, feeling excited.

A top-quality sharp blade costs over a thousand taels of silver per bite, and a famous weapon costs even more than that, costing at least five thousand taels of silver per bite.

This is the foundation of the weapon forging shop.

Without looking carefully, Li Yuan glanced at the stone room and frowned:

Zhang Bi was one of the few people who knew about the existence of the secret room, and it was only after he leaked it while drunk that Li Yuan found out.

And according to Zhang Bi, there must be at least five top-quality sharp blades in this secret room...

Li Yuan turned around and found something.

…

After closing the ledger, Li Yuan lamented that it was not easy to live in a dormant dragon, but also because of Cao Yan's generosity.

In less than seven years, he sent out eleven top-quality sharp blades, which were accumulated by the blacksmith shop for more than two hundred years, in order to break into the Hidden Dragon Mansion.

In fact, he is already about to succeed.

Phew~

After putting away the things in the secret room, Li Yuan jumped out of the pit and backfilled it with the excavated hard soil.

At this moment, he has more than a thousand kilograms of strength in his arms. These tasks are not even hard work for him. They have been filled in before dawn.

Then take out the six-edged hammer and tamp it down a little.

After tearing off a few pieces of meat and stuffing them into the little mouse, Li Yuan went back to the house and counted the proceeds from the secret room.

Ten taels of red gold, one hundred and fifty taels of gold, two thousand four hundred taels of silver notes, plus agate pearls, etc., the total value is at least eight thousand taels!

This is a figure that even Zhang Ben would be stunned to see. Even if he works hard for another fifty years, he will not be able to earn so much money.

Li Yuan was a little excited, but quickly calmed down.

To advance to the fifth level of Zhangbinglu requires a hundred jins of steel, a hundred jins of cold iron, five thousand taels of silver, one hundred taels of gold, and twenty taels of red gold.

Li Yuan felt a little regretful, but he was already quite satisfied with this harvest.

After the silver note, there is the real big head of the secret room, a snake hand wrapped in gold wire, with an imperceptible blood color in the light cyan light.

Li Yuan felt a little shadowy in his heart.

In the past few months, his relationship with various forces in the city was good, and he had borrowed a large number of books, but what horrified him was that,

Including the yamen, the city guards and the Yuan family, there is no book in Gaoliu County that mentions the method of worshiping gods!

Mrs. Wang in the private school also had no news after she went home to visit her relatives, and happened to avoid Han Chuijun's purge...

Li Yuan felt a little depressed:

The golden snake-wrapped hand gave Li Yuan more associations and made him miss Lao Han very much.

…

After dawn, someone sent the house deed to the city guard, while Li Yuan went to private school.

Because no one had taken care of it for a long time, the desks and books in the private school were all dusty. He rummaged around carefully and found nothing else.

Li Yuan shook his head, maybe he really thought too much.

After all, Mrs. Wang has been at the Forging Shop for many years.

On the ninth day of the new year, it was a sunny day.

After bidding farewell to his brother and sister-in-law with red eyes, Li Yuan, who had already made arrangements, carried a bag on his back and left the city carrying the long-handled melon hammer he had carried when he went to Fajiu Mountain.

It was very lively outside the city gate.

People from all the families gathered together and were escorted to Zhelong Mansion by the Changyuan Escort Bureau. There were more than 20 carriages and escort cars. There were no fewer than hundreds of people who saw him off and joined in the fun.

These days, it is not easy to travel far away, and it is even more dangerous to travel alone. If you stay in the wilderness at night, you will inevitably encounter bandits and horse bandits.

Outside the city gate, Zhou Jinzhong seemed to have been waiting for a long time. Then he got off his horse and handed over a package:

Li Yuan took it with both hands:

Zhou Jinzhong smiled and didn’t take it seriously:

Li Yuan nodded.

After several banquets, he became very familiar with Zhou Jinzhong and learned a lot about Zhelong Mansion and the Divine Weapon Valley from him.

Zhou Jinzhong said no more and hugged his fists to send him off:

Li Yuan smiled in return.

There are more than twenty disciples who have gone to the Divine Weapon Valley to become their disciples. Looking at Li Yuan chatting and laughing with the leaders of many forces in the inner and outer cities, they can't help but have complicated expressions.

Those principals are either their masters or their fathers...

Liang Ashui held the horse and looked at it from a distance, with a strange look on his face.

He never expected that after he went out to catch fish for half a month, the rookie of the weapon forging shop would suddenly become the head of the weapon forging shop.

and……

Liang Ashui murmured in her heart and started to feed the horse.

Liu Zheng, Wang Peiyao, Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and others had already arrived, but they still waited for Li Yuan to talk to various forces and deputy commanders of the city guard before coming over to say hello.

Many people are excited and anxious about traveling far away.

Wang Peiyao's sharp eyes saw the little mouse sticking its head out of the bag.

Li Yuan corrected her.

The little mouse, which had eaten a lot of pills, was now the size of a kitten. Liu Zheng and others did not take it seriously, but Wang Peiyao kept a distance.

Wang Peiyao took a few steps back.

Lin Qingfa came over with a spear.

The chief escort of the Changyuan Escort Bureau was in a state of distress for a long time after his escort was taken away by the Viper Gang, but now he has regained his strength.

All the forces in the city were wiped out, but not all the gang members were killed. Many of them who had developed inner strength poured into other families, and the blacksmith shops recruited many.

The chief escort leader took the opportunity to recruit a large number of new escort leaders. They were also responsible for escorting and escorting this time.

Li Yuan knew that he had wasted time, and after expressing his apology with his hands, he quickly got on the carriage of the blacksmith shop.

Before getting on the carriage, Li Yuan turned around.

Since he became the shopkeeper, Yue Yunjin, Wu Ming and other inner court apprentices have been a little cautious towards him. They were startled when they heard this, and after looking at each other, they shook their heads and refused.

Not counting Li Yuan, a total of six people went to the blacksmith shop this time. When they went up, what did the other four think?

Li Yuan said nothing more, but after he got on the bus, Lin Qingfa waved his hand, and the motorcade drove slowly along the official road.

Li Yuan had some expectations in his heart, but as if he had realized it, he lifted the curtains and looked back at Gao Liu. Among the people seeing him off, he saw his brother and sister-in-law.

Fatty Sun, Qiu Da and others.

Suddenly, Li Yuan frowned, lowered the car curtain, and his expression changed.

At first glance, he seemed to see the prince, but at the second glance, he didn't see it...

…

…

Wang Wenyuan watched the motorcade going away, then disappeared into the crowd as if he was aware of it. A man in coarse cloth approached with a respectful attitude:

Wang Wenyuan laughed dumbly.

Wang Wenyuan glanced at him lightly.

The conversation between the two was normal and was not deliberately covered up, but in the gradually dispersing crowd, no one seemed to hear them at all.

The man was very helpless. He had been chopping firewood in the mountains for decades...

Wang Wenyuan glanced vaguely at the four-wheeled sun hanging high in the sky, sighed, and turned back to the city.
