Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

Chapter 197 The pinnacle of heavy armor in the past dynasties

"Shark Scales?"

Li Shuguo was startled for a moment, then as if he thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up and he rubbed his hands.

"When I was in Quanzhou Port, I often heard from the old people who went to Southeast Asia that there were strange fish on overseas islands. They had the head of a human and the body of a fish. Their bodies were covered with scales, and they shed tears like beads. They were best at weaving."

"Is it possible that Shopkeeper Chen is going to sea this time?"

"?"

He started talking about Quanzhou Port.

Chen Yulou felt something was wrong.

But Li Shuguo was in high spirits and could not interrupt him rashly. When he heard that he was going to sea, he could no longer hold back.

Huamaguai on the side is even more so.

I want to laugh but dare not.

It can also resist evil spirits.

The demon tendon that was sent to Shijun Mountain a few months ago.

Only then can we resist some.

What is hidden in the jade box in front of you belongs to the dragon.

There are constant adventures and dangers along the way.

The existence of those mountain gods who are worshiped as mountain gods.

But even so.

Although it was the first time to see Huamaguai.

Most of them are yellow and gray things that have become spirits, and even the most amazing things are just like tigers and leopards.

"good."

What's more, the demon tendons had already frightened him that day, and he was shocked for a long time.

But a few days ago, the shopkeeper and others went out to return to the village, and he heard a lot of rumors from Hong Gu and Kunlun at the dust-washing banquet that night.

goo-dong-

He's going out this time.

Being frightened by such evil things can lead to illness or death.

Although Chen Yulou didn't say what he extracted it from, he was still a martial artist, and his senses and vision were still far beyond those of ordinary people, so he still had some guesses in his mind.

Killed a dragon?
You know, evil sacrifices have been prevalent in Xiangxi since ancient times.

Or he is a person who works for iron all year round. He spends most of the day in the company of the iron furnace and the earth dragon, and his blood is stained with the majestic fire, and his life is like a burning lamp.

"Could it be a mackerel...that is, a whale shark? That's not right. I heard that sharks have no scales."

Kill demons and conquer demons.

Seeing his confirmation, Li Shuguo couldn't help but feel shocked, dumbfounded, and swallowed hard. He suddenly felt like a storyteller in a restaurant down the mountain, talking about those strange folk stories.

Chen Yulou waved his hand.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Li, don't you understand this yet? This is the dragon's scale."

The hand holding the wooden box almost lost its balance.

But as soon as the words came out, Li Shuguo was confused and continued to mutter to himself.

Dragon?

Li Shuguo was still racking his brains and thinking hard.

"No, no, no, shopkeeper Li misunderstood..."

Isn't that the damn Water God Dragon King?
He has traveled to many places in his life, especially during the few years he spent in Quanzhou City when he was young. Those fishermen believed in these the most, and there were Dragon King temples everywhere.

When I suddenly heard this word, I felt a buzz in my head, like a muffled thunder exploding.

But that's the limit of ordinary people.

But he knew.

"Jiao...Jiaolong?!"

Worship the dragon and offer sacrifices to the water god, and the incense is very popular.

The most important thing is that it is not difficult to judge from the scales in the jade box. They are not pieced together, but removed from the dragon's body.

Chen Yulou smiled faintly and nodded.

Now I was told.

The whole person froze.

Unless you are successful in martial arts, your qi and blood will be like mercury.

In other words.

As for slaying demons, he had heard about it from storytellers, but he had never seen it before.

If that's the case.

What level of cultivation has this shopkeeper Chen in front of me achieved?
He often kills demons and demons and suppresses dragons.

The legendary immortals are nothing more than that.

Thinking of this, Li Shuguo's surprise was even more indescribable.

"Shopkeeper Li..."

"I don't know."

There was silence for a while.

He finally came to his senses and took a deep breath secretly, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard shopkeeper Chen on the opposite side also happened to speak, and Li Shuguo immediately stretched out his hand.

"Shopkeeper Chen will speak first."

"it is good."

Chen Yulou didn’t waste any time either.

Briefly stated the requirements.

After listening, Li Shuguo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After thinking for a moment, he considered it.

"The bows and arrows and the nine-section whip are all pretty good. Li has also cast them for others over the years. But this last piece of heavy armor... I have to think about it carefully."

Heavy armored cavalry.

That was an antique from many years ago.

Since entering the Republic of China, spears, artillery, and fighting on the battlefield have no longer relied on cavalry. Even the heavy armored battalions that were famous all over the world only exist in legends.

The last time he made a sword out of demon sinew, it had already amazed him.

This time, dragon scales were used to carve the armor.

Even a veteran like Li Shuguo had to admire Chen Yulou's unconstrained power.

"Shopkeeper Li doesn't have to worry about this."

Chen Yulou seemed to have guessed what he was thinking.

He casually took out a piece of folded white paper from the sleeve of his gown.

"This is?"

Li Shuguo was startled.

But he still took it subconsciously.

When he opened it, the surprise in his eyes instantly dissipated and turned into shock.

There are only a few pictures on the page.

They are all horizontal and vertical lines.

But put together, it is clearly a heavy armor pattern.

"Is this the heavy dragon scale armor designed by you, Shopkeeper Chen?"

Li Shuguo had never seen such a figure before.

But it has to be said.

With just a few strokes, a complete thing can be dismantled clearly.

Even a layman can understand it.

"good."

"What do you think, Shopkeeper Li?"

There was too little information in this era, and Chen Yulou didn't know what the process of casting utensils was, so he used drawings to draw out his ideas.

"Great."

"Looking at the style in this picture, shopkeeper Chen should have copied the Bu Renjia from the Song Dynasty?"

Li Shuguo didn't dare to finish his words.

But in ancient times, heavy armor was nothing more than Qin armor, iron armor, simple sleeve armor, Mingguang armor, foot armor and chain plate armor.

Among them, the Song Dynasty Bu Renjia is the most amazing.

It is definitely the pinnacle of heavy armor in the past.

The best one among them is Yue Fei, who carries the Wei army behind his tent.

"Yes, Shopkeeper Li is indeed very knowledgeable."

Listen to his words and break the armor.

Even Chen Yulou couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Today, unlike later generations, many things can easily be lost based on book records.

In particular, the Bu Renjia is still a thing from the Song Dynasty.

People who don't specialize in research or collection will not recognize it at all.

Although Li Shuguo always prides himself on being a blacksmith.

But this vision alone is far beyond that of ordinary people.

"That's right, but the infantry armor is too heavy for ordinary soldiers to wear. It is especially inconvenient when marching and fighting immediately."

"I see that in this heavy armor, a lot of changes have been made between the shoulder armor, chest armor and belly armor. It will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when you stand up and move your body."

The more Li Shuguo watched, the more excited he became.

The picture in front of him may be just a piece of blank paper in the eyes of ordinary people, but to a knowledgeable person like him, it is definitely a priceless treasure.

In fact, he never had the chance to build armor in his life.

After all, this thing has long been eliminated.

The sword wielder can still be seen.

But these days, who would wear a suit of heavy armor and swagger through the streets?
See him accurately point out the structure on the heavy armor.

The admiration in Chen Yulou's eyes became more intense.

He is worthy of being the master of Honeycomb Mountain.

Li Shuguo's knowledge alone is enough to climb the thirty-six mountains in the world.

"I just don't know..."

Talking and talking.

Li Shuguo thought about it secretly.

This piece of walking armor weighs at least a hundred pounds.

Even though the magic touch can save a lot of energy, it is not something that ordinary people can afford.

Chen Yulou invited himself down the mountain twice to see it.

Everything he did was for actual combat purposes.

The dragon scale sword forged for him that day is still hanging on his waist from time to time. The decoration on the scabbard is natural, which makes him gentle but also a bit sharper.

But here's the thing.

At first glance, Chen Yulou was following the path of Neijing Xinfa.

It's not his method of training the physical body. Such a heavy armor doesn't seem to fit him well.

"Shopkeeper Li, don't worry, this heavy armor is prepared for Kunlun."

Although not finished.

But Chen Yulou still penetrated his mind immediately.

He immediately shook his head and smiled.

"Kunlun..."

When he heard this name, Li Shuguo's mind immediately flashed into a figure that stretched out from the sky and looked like a mountain bear.

I was in Zhuangzi before.

Saw it many times.

At that time, he was still feeling in his heart, if he could bring it back to the mountain, he would definitely be a good blacksmith.

However, Li Shuguo also knew that it was purely wishful thinking.

People sit firmly in the fourth position on Changsheng Mountain.

Why should I go back to Yuhua Mountain with him to blacksmith?

However, he thought that the heavy armor was prepared by Chen Yulou for him, so he really didn't think about Kunlun.

See him now to confirm.

Li Shuguo's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Standing nine feet high and wearing heavy armor, he would definitely be an unparalleled warrior on the battlefield.

It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time.

Otherwise, a few hundred years ago, he might have been an overlord-like figure.

Of course, he only dared to criticize these words.

He couldn't see through what Chen Yulou did.

"So, Shopkeeper Chen, when will Li start?"

Put away distracting thoughts.

Li Shuguo's eyes showed anticipation.

A few more big demon and fierce weapons.

Most people would never dare to think about it, but it is definitely the biggest wish of an ironworker.

"Of course it depends on shopkeeper Li's time."

"Then today?"

Upon hearing Chen Yulou's words, Li Shuguo immediately spoke.

Arrive at Shijunshan Dihuo one day early.

He can also set up a furnace for smelting as soon as possible.

"Don't be in a hurry. Shopkeeper Li has worked hard all the way. I'll give you a break today. In addition, there is one more material. Calculating, it will only be delivered in the next two days."

See his anxious look.

Chen Yulou couldn't help but smile and waved his hand.

Although he also wanted to finish the work as soon as possible, how could he not even eat when he invited people from all the way?

"...That's fine."

"Then just listen to Shopkeeper Chen's arrangements."

Li Shuguo grinned, obviously a little disappointed.

For him, it doesn't matter if he doesn't eat, as long as the stove can be turned on as soon as possible, but after all, it's not like Yuhua Mountain. He is a guest from afar, so he must abide by the host's time.

"Kaizi, let someone go and inform the chef."

"In addition, take Shopkeeper Li to his residence to rest."

After hearing the order, Huamaguai immediately nodded and agreed.

He made an inviting gesture towards Li Shuguo.

Lead him all the way to the backyard guest room.

The last time I came here, someone was always cleaning and taking care of the house he lived in. After sending him there and chatting warmly for a few words, Huamaguai returned the same way.

He still remembers it.

Last time I went to Yuhua Mountain, the shopkeeper promised me that he would give me a big gift when I came back.

He was thinking about it all the way back to the village.

With the shopkeeper's character, he will definitely not be stingy when taking action.

Wait for him to return outside Guanyun Tower.

Chen Yulou seemed to expect that he would come back. He stood in the lobby with his hands behind his back, quietly admiring the ancient paintings hanging around.

"coming?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Chen Yulou looked away from a picture of ancient pines, clouds and cranes.

Then he pointed to the screen not far away.

Huamaguai's eyes narrowed.

As someone close to the shopkeeper.

He knew only too well what was hidden behind the screen.

After all, the underground grotto is a top secret of the Chen family. Except for a few of them, even the girls responsible for cleaning the building don't know that there is another floor below Guanyun Downstairs.

"Let's go and take you to see."

Chen Yulou walked straight around the screen, stretched out his hand and lightly pressed somewhere on the wall.

Only a crisp loudspeaker was heard.

Then the floor tiles closed up.

A stone staircase descending appeared.

The two of them walked downstairs one after the other.

Although he has been there many times, Huamaguai still can't hide his shock every time he enters this underground grotto.

However, the layout of the room is pretty much the same as before.

The lights are bright.

Read, meditate, practice, and rest.

Several areas are divided in an orderly manner.

Chen Yulou walked lightly, but when he passed the Guixu ancient cauldron, his eyes moved over.

Compared to a few days ago.

The ancient Legalist mirror has become more and more transparent.

The sea air is soaked in and circulates endlessly.

In particular, the pattern of fish and dragon chasing beads on the mirror is even clearer.

As for the hexagram tripod and the three talismans, they are also surrounded by mist.

It seems that there is a sudden feeling that the Guixu Trigram is reappearing in the world.

Just like the moment it was forged from the dragon fire of Guixu thousands of years ago.

Huamaguai, who was following him, was also at Pingshan Danjing that day and saw with his own eyes the ancient tripods piled up in the coffin mountain. Even after they moved back to Zhuangzi, it was he and Kunlun who personally delivered them here.

Unexpectedly, we have not seen each other for only a few months.

The ancient tripod actually took on a new look.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to imagine it.

Mingqi doesn't look like material.

Rolling between fingers for a long time.

Can show jade-like color.

But how to build such a big tripod?
"Come."

While he was still pondering, the shopkeeper's reminder sounded in his ears.

Huamaguai raised his head subconsciously.

Only then did he realize that Chen Yulou had already approached the bookshelf.

He hurriedly followed.

As soon as he got close, he saw the shopkeeper taking out a jade box from the ancient shelf and handing it to him.

"What are you, shopkeeper?"

"You'll know if you open it and take a look."

Chen Yulou shrugged and smiled lightly.

Hearing this, Huamaguai did not dare to delay and gently pressed the copper buckle of the jade box.

With a clicking sound, the jade cover bounced up.

Suddenly, a green-gray pill with a hint of gold dust appeared in his sight.

Huamaguai's heart moved.

A strong sense of familiarity came over me.

It always felt like he had seen this thing before somewhere.

"Wait... Taoist Golden Pill?!"

The scenes in Pingshan Danjing that day flashed quickly in his mind.

Huamaguai couldn't help but exclaimed.

"almost."

Chen Yulou nodded.

Although this thing does not make people live forever, Taoist Zhu Dan is a great elixir that can draw Qi into the body and break through the realm.

He found it in Tai Suiyan's stove that day.

Three in total.

He took two, one for Kunlun and one for him.

It's a pity that the boy from Kunlun doesn't want to practice, but he can still use the path of realizing the Tao through strength.

"Shopkeeper, this... this is too expensive."

The man who met the shopkeeper wanted to give Zhu Dan to himself.

Huamaguai suddenly looked worried.

After such a long time, he could still remember the excitement of Partridge Shao, the leader of the mountain movers, when he saw the pill in Pingshan that day.

It was also because of that pill that he stepped into spiritual practice.

You can also get a glimpse of it.

How could you waste such great medicine on yourself?

The shopkeeper himself is not good at practicing, but Kunlun and Honggu are not good at it. With his body and bones, he is lucky to be able to practice martial arts. Cultivation is really too far away for him.

"okay."

"Stop whining like a bitch."

"Honggu has already started, and Kunlun and you are one each, so...what else is there to hesitate about?"

Chen Yulou deliberately kept a straight face.

"It just so happens that your boy has become a master of martial arts in the past few months."

"The blood and energy are well balanced."

"In addition, take the medicine for a few more days to adjust your breath to the best state, and then I will protect the formation for you and take the elixir to break through!"
