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

Chapter 73 Li Family Inheritance Zhang Yajiu Weapons Spectrum

The person coming was indeed Li Shuguo.

The Li family made a living by selling utensils on behalf of others.

Starting from his grandfather's generation, the Li family gradually became prosperous.

It is said that it was because he single-handedly improved the firing structure of the matchlock gun, and he performed to an astonishing level on the battlefield to annihilate the Taiping Army.

Received a reward from the imperial court.

Enter the Creation Bureau of the Military Academy.

Since then, the Li family's sales have become famous all over the world.

However, with the fall of the dynasty, the Li family became lonely, but not to the point of abjection.

Li Shuguo's father took his whole family all the way south.

Finally, he settled in Yuhua Mountain on the south bank of Yuanjiang River.

He has a bold personality and is generous in making plans, making friends and winning over many people in the world.

It was also because of this that he was able to establish a sect in Yuhua Mountain as an outsider.

In just one or twenty years.

Pin Qi'er Li, the name of Honeycomb Mountain, became famous again after disappearing for many years and made a huge name in the world.

He even made it to the seventy-two ranks.

In fact, he had heard about the Chen family in Xiangyin a long time ago.

After all, they are on the same border in Xiangxi.

It's just that one of them made a living by selling weapons, and the other made a fortune by fighting.

The water in the well never interferes with the water in the river.

Even though they were only separated by the Yuan River, there was never any intersection between the two families.

but……

This time, the shopkeeper of the Chen family suddenly sent someone to appear at Yuhua Mountain, saying that he was asking him to come down to help refine weapons.

to be frank.

Li Shuguo's first thought was to refuse.

To put it nicely, the Chen family can barely be considered a wealthy family.

But who doesn’t know that Xiangyin is a den of thieves and bandits?

The people in Changshengshan under his command are all ruthless people seeking gold and stealing bones.

Although the visitor behaved politely.

But after all, Li Shuguo had been around the world for so long, and he knew very well that these days, the people he couldn't offend the most were warlords and bandits.

The Chen family has both.

Chen Yulou commanded the green forest thieves in sixteen provinces.

He personally gave the order and sent someone to invite him. If he was disgraced, he might not be the only one to die, but the whole family, as well as his apprentices and craftsmen would be implicated.

As the saying goes, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, that's all.

Wanting to understand this, Li Shuguo decided to go alone.

Before going down the mountain, he called his three apprentices to him.

Tell them that if they never come back, the senior brother will be the next generation of the mountain master of Honeycomb Mountain, and the remaining two people should do their best to help the senior brother.

This is not talking at all, it is clearly explaining the funeral arrangements.

The three of them knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

But that's the way this world is.

Honeycomb Mountain is just a group of craftsmen. To put it bluntly, they are the lowest among the lowest.

The glory of the previous dynasty has long since disappeared.

As for Changsheng Mountain, even among the thirty-six mountains, it is one of the strongest.

How can your arms reach your thighs?

just.

Since coming down from Yuhua Mountain.

However, Li Shuguo found that he was not as harsh as he imagined.

The few Chen family guys who went up the mountain were also temperamental people.

Treat yourself as a shopkeeper, a master, or even a husband.

Along the way, we were entertained with good wine and delicious food.

He also said that his family always told him when he came here that he must be treated respectfully and Master Li would never be wronged.

So much so.

Li Shuguo was a little confused about Chief Chen.

He also asked by tapping on the side.

According to those clerks, although Chen Yulou made a living by fighting, he was gentle, tolerant, had extraordinary skills and knowledge, and always took the lead in doing things.

This time, Li Shuguo was even more uncertain.

Fortunately, the journey from Yuhua Mountain to Chenjiazhuang is less than a day.

After going down the mountain yesterday evening, we took a boat all the way north along the Yuan River, then crossed the Xiang River, docked at the Xiangyin City Pier, and then transferred to horses. It was just after noon that we entered Chenjiazhuang.

Seen along the way.

Chenjiazhuang is full of water inside and outside.

Visitors must be informed at all levels before they can enter.

It also allowed Li Shuguo to see the power of the Chen family.

What amazed him even more was that after entering the inner city, he felt like he couldn't walk around despite the bustling scenery everywhere.

You know, the ancestors of the Li family were also rich.

Suppress the Taiping Army, fight the Nianzi Army, join the Military Academy, receive a salary from the court, and be called "sir" by his subordinates.

How glorious was the Li family at that time?

I live in a two-entry house.

The people I get to know are all important people.

Li Shuguo was young at the time and did not have deep memories of his childhood. Most of them were heard from his father's chats.

Therefore, in his impression, among the many cities in the world, there is no one better than the capital city.

But when he entered the inner city of the Chen family today, he realized that he was sitting in a well and looking at the sky.

Pavilions, rockeries, flowing water, and big lakes with blue waves, what kind of scene is this?

Such a large courtyard is a first-class luxury even in the prosperous areas of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

At this moment, standing in the courtyard, looking at the five or six-story building in the distance, Li Shuguo was even more shocked, and suddenly felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

The brothers who brought themselves in.

There was no longer any laughter, anger, and uninhibitedness.

All of them have tall and straight postures, their eyes are not squinting, and they stand with their hands down.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the elite of the military.

But from the casual chat, Li Shuguo learned their identities, they were just ordinary villagers of the Chen family.

A leopard can be seen in the tube.

As a result, he admired and admired Chief Chen even more.

What kind of person is he?

To do this?

After waiting for a while, Li Shuguo gradually relaxed and began to look around.

A group of twenty-eight-year-old girls.

I was paddling slowly towards the depths of the lake in a boat, rolling up my sleeves and picking lotus flowers seriously.

The sun poured down, and countless gold and jade seemed to be crushed into pieces on the lake.

How could you see this scene on Yuhua Mountain?

The most you can see are furnaces burning charcoal and making steel all over the mountain.

A group of bare-chested rough men held hammers and hammered the newly-baked railway.

A tinkling sound.

It can be passed down the mountain.

There is no such leisure and elegance as in Chenjiazhuang.

"Shopkeeper Li."

Li Shuguo was still in a daze.

In the distance, a gentle laughter suddenly came from the distance.

He subconsciously withdrew his gaze from the large lake and turned around to look.

I saw a young man in his twenties, wearing a long gown and looking fresh and clean, walking towards me.

"Botou Chen?"

Li Shuguo was a little unbelievable.

I thought that Chen Yulou, who commanded the world's green forests and was the leader of Xiling in this generation, should be an eight-foot-tall man who could walk as fast as a dragon or a tiger.

How could he have imagined that.

The person who stood before him turned out to be a handsome and wealthy young man.

Even though they were dozens of steps apart, the nobility of Chen Yulou could hardly be concealed.

"Master Li, that's my shopkeeper."

I saw him standing there stunned.

A guy behind him could not help but lower his voice and reminded.

Li Shuguo came to his senses now and quickly put his thoughts away. In any case, what he was facing during this trip was the leader of the Xiling group of thieves.

How dare you lose your sense of proportion?

He immediately hurried forward to greet him and bowed down with both fists in his hands.

"Li Shuguo of Honeycomb Mountain, I have met shopkeeper Chen."

Seeing that he is similar in age to me, maybe even a few years younger.

Coupled with the aura of landing in the wind.

Chen Yulou naturally has a good impression of him.

Speaking of which, in the original work, he and Li Shuguo were the only two people of their generation who could survive into later generations.

As for other figures in the world, they did not die in the turbulent years.

That is to say, they are wandering around, hiding their names and missing their traces.

Even though it is as strong as a partridge whistle.

He also ended up traveling across the ocean.

Moreover, this man avoided the disaster of the war in time, and after entering Sichuan, not only did he live in peace, but he even lived a comfortable life.

Now that he saw shopkeeper Li when he was young, something strange flashed in his eyes.

"Shopkeeper Li is too polite."

Chen Yulou stretched out his hand.

Not even how to use force.

However, Li Shuguo felt as if he was so close that he could not resist at all.

You know, he has been practicing martial arts with his father since he was a child, honing his muscles, bones, and blood.

I have been working on the mountain for more than ten years.

The strength of his body is simply unimaginable to ordinary people.

Although this time, in order to show his importance, he even turned out the long gown he only wore during the Chinese New Year, but the knotted and bulging muscles under the clothes could not be covered at all.

Just standing there gave people an angry, fierce look.

It seems that he is the leader of Changsheng Mountain.

but……

The more so.

Li Shuguo became more respectful.

He has an incomparable awareness of his own strength.

I dare not say that I am capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards alive.

The iron-making furnace on the mountain weighed at least three to five hundred pounds, and he could carry it back and forth in one breath.

But in front of Chen Yulou, he couldn't even bow down.

How terrifying must this person's martial arts training be?

"It should, it should."

Li Shuguo's heart was in turmoil, ups and downs, but he didn't dare to show it at all on his face and just shook his head repeatedly.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yulou could no longer persuade him.

Let’s get straight to the point.

"Does Shopkeeper Li know why Mr. Chen invited you here?" As soon as these words came out.

Li Shuguo suddenly felt relieved.

He was afraid that Chief Chen would play tricks on him.

He is a rough man, and he is white, and now he is trapped in a dragon's den and a tiger's den. He is no match for him.

"I don't know yet. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Chen for instructions."

"I wonder what Shopkeeper Li is most proud of in this life?"

"The most proud?"

Li Shuguo was stunned.

It was completely impossible to guess what Chen Yulou was thinking.

But he didn't dare to hesitate, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"I come from a Li family that has sold wares for generations. Li is not very talented. The most proud work in my life should be the Xuanhuo Cave."

Xuanhuo Cave?

Chen Yulou raised his eyebrows.

He has actually heard of this.

It is an anti-theft mechanism that was spread in the south more than ten years ago.

It was even used in tombs.

Use a gourd, porcelain bottle, pottery pot, or iron object with a mysterious fire in the middle. Once touched, the fire dragon will erupt with amazing power.

Unexpectedly, it was actually written by Li Shuguo.

but.

This was not the answer he wanted.

Chen Yulou smiled and shook his head, "Shopkeeper Li, have you ever made weapons?"

"weapon?!"

Li Shuguo was even more surprised.

When he came, he specifically thought about Chen Yulou's purpose of inviting him down the mountain.

After all, Chen Baotou's greatest identity is that he is the leader of contemporary Xiling warriors.

The people who move mountains and flat hills are the ones who are best at moving tools.

So just now he specifically mentioned the Mysterious Fire Cave, which was considered to be what he liked. Unexpectedly, what Chen Boss asked about turned out to be weapons.

He hesitated, but couldn't help but ask.

"Shopkeeper Chen wants to make firearms?"

There are countless guns and artillery these days, and whoever has a gun in his hand is the king.

His ancestors had built artillery for attacking and defending cities, such as the Crouching Tiger Cannon and the Red Coat Cannon, as well as muskets such as matchlocks and flintlock muskets.

But that was all so many years ago.

It's long out of date now.

What everyone uses is either a box cannon or three pieces of iron.

A piece of foreign goods.

I don't know how many times more powerful than muskets and guns.

"Cold weapon!"

Look at his confused face.

Chen Yulou slowly spit out three words.

Cold...cold weapon?

Li Shuguo was completely confused now.

What age has it been, except for those Jianghu people, who still uses cold weapons?

After all, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't dodge gunpowder cannons.

It stands to reason that the Chen family has such a deep heritage that he has seen everything he saw along the way.

Even those villagers have box guns in their waists. He should know better than anyone that cold weapons are no match for firearms.

Why do the opposite?

Li Shuguo frowned, confused.

It wasn't until he saw Chen Yulou's smiling eyes from the corner of his eye that he suddenly came back to his senses as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Of course, I can make machine pins, weapons and muskets."

"I wonder what kind of weapon Shopkeeper Chen needs?"

Don't know why.

Chen Yulou became gentler and calmer.

He became even more frightened.

But when faced with his question, Chen Yulou did not answer. Instead, he pointed at the large lake in the distance with a hint of meaning.

"Shopkeeper Li, would you like to take a walk together?"

"……it is good."

Li Shuguo knew what he meant.

How dare you refuse.

He immediately chased after him.

Walking along the long embankment of the lake, the water vapor in the sky blew in with the wind, and the heat in the body suddenly dissipated.

But Li Shuguo was always in a state of uneasiness and uneasiness.

He followed step by step, thinking wildly in his mind.

Waited for half a moment.

There is no one else around.

Only then did Chen Yulou stop.

Li Shuguo subconsciously looked around, his eyes widened, and then he realized that they had walked along the wooden bridge to the pavilion in the middle of the lake without knowing it.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of water.

His heart sank.

I don’t know what Chen Yulou wanted to say when he called him here.

"Shopkeeper Li can rest assured that since Mr. Chen invited you here, he will never harm you."

"Besides, I'm not a murderous person."

Seeing that he was worried, Chen Yulou couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"This……"

Being exposed, Li Shuguo couldn't help but blush.

It's not that he's timid by nature.

It's true that the man in front of him has a bad reputation, and he can't figure out his thoughts at the moment.

However, now that it was over, he no longer had so many worries.

"Have you ever heard of the mountain demon, Shopkeeper Li?"

Li Shuguo frowned, "Of course I have heard about this."

There are countless rumors in this world about yellow demons, fox spirits, social rats, and snake women who cannibalize people's yang energy and harm people's lives.

He can rattle off a dozen versions.

"If... Chen wants to ask Shopkeeper Li to make a weapon for me using the tendon of a mountain demon, is it possible that Shopkeeper Li can do it?"

"Wha, what?!"

Li Shuguo's thoughts had gradually eased.

I was shocked again.

He subconsciously thought that Chen Yulou was joking, but when he took a look secretly, he found that his eyes were deep and clear, as quiet as an ancient well.

No joke at all.

"I don't dare to deceive Shopkeeper Chen. I have never tried this before."

Li Shuguo gritted his teeth.

Although he has achieved the ultimate in refining weapons.

But the materials are all ordinary things after all, nothing more than gold, silver, copper and iron.

He had never heard of this mountain monster with big muscles.

But for some reason, Li Shuguo felt a strong impulse in his heart, as if there were countless voices telling him in his ears.

This is most likely the only opportunity in this life.

If you don't try it once, you may regret it until you die.

"but."

Thinking of this, Li Shuguo gritted his teeth.

"But I'm willing to give it a try."

"Oh?"

His expression of war between heaven and man was seen by Chen Yulou.

To be honest, if even Li Shuguo couldn't do it, there wouldn't be anyone else that day.

The Li family's skill in refining weapons is unparalleled.

He even thought that if Li Shuguo retreated despite the difficulties, the six-winged centipede's demon tendons could only be stored temporarily.

Wait until he learns the art of refining weapons before making any plans.

But judging from what he meant, he seemed quite willing.

"It's just that, shopkeeper Chen, can you let me take a look first so that I can have a clue."

Seeing that Chen Yulou was just looking at him with a smile behind his hands, Li Shuguo didn't care anymore and told his thoughts together.

"Also, to be honest with Shopkeeper Chen, my Li family has a manual for refining weapons. It is said that it was handed down by the master swordsmith Zhang Yajiu. It contains records about refining demon weapons for Taoists."

"To be honest, I have always read this book as a fantasy novel."

"Now, maybe we can give it a try."

"The weapon refining manual, Zhang Yajiu?"

This was the first time Chen Yulou heard about this matter.

You must know that Zhang Yajiu was the number one weapon refiner in the Tang Dynasty.

The Crow Nine Sword forged by his own hands is known as the self-made general Mo Xie, and is another peerless sword.

However, if it is true, then it seems that it can be explained that the Li family has such an amazing ability to sell weapons.

"Since Shopkeeper Li has such means."

"of course can."

Chen Yulou was originally thinking about doing it himself.

Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, Li Shuguo actually hid such a skill.

But, compared to his surprise.

At this moment, Li Shuguo's heart was already filled with excitement.

If he could really use demon tendons to create a demon weapon, then his achievements would be able to surpass those of the ancestors of the Li family.

Be the first to deserve it.

not to mention.

Fighting with swords, guns, swords and halberds for a lifetime.

Why didn't he want to craft a weapon with his own hands that would shock the past and the present, and even leave a name in history?

"Shopkeeper Li, please come this way."

Immediately, Chen Yulou did not dare to delay.

He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

He took him all the way into Guanyun Tower and asked him to sit down.

He then went to the basement in person and moved the jade box containing the demon tendons up.

It took almost half a month before the demon tendon was taken out of the six-winged centipede.

But there is Aoki's spiritual energy sealed in it.

The moment the jade box is opened.

Li Shuguo felt as if an extremely terrifying demonic aura was coming towards his face.

Suddenly.

It was as if I could see a black shadow flying through the clouds and mist.

He rubbed his eyes hard several times.

When the hallucination dissipated, he saw a sinew that was seven or eight meters long, like a white snake, lying quietly deep in the bottom of the box.

"This...is this the mountain demon Daijin?!"

　The previous chapter Li Shuguo was written as Yang Shuguo. It has been revised. I’m really sorry.
