Chapter 201 Making the Sheath

"What are you doing in the house, what's the 'mess'?"

Standing at the door, Li Yuzhi asked when she saw the mess on the ground in Chen Ran's room.

"Mom, they are all antiques. I'm studying them for fun..."

Chen Ran briefly explained it to her mother. When she heard that they were all antiques, Li Yuzhi immediately fell silent. She knew nothing about antiques, but she knew that the good life at home was due to her son buying antiques. Therefore, both she and Chen Ping attach great importance to her son's business of tinkering with antiques. Just like what Chen Ping confessed, we must do the three things of "no objection, no disturbance, and no meddling". Seeing but not speaking represents thought.

"Aran, just now Xiaowen called and said that he has no class tomorrow, and he wants your dad to pick him up after school in the afternoon, but your dad wants to invite those officials to dinner at night, so how can he have time to pick him up? Do you have time? If you have time, pick him up. This kid is becoming more and more shameless now. I asked him to come back by car, but he was not happy. He insisted on getting someone to pick him up. Really... "

Li Yuzhi complained angrily as she spoke. Now that the conditions at home are better, she is not used to things like Chen Xiaowen asking her family to drive to school to pick them up. She doesn't like publicity. Dissatisfied, just dissatisfied, but at the same time a little soft-hearted... Chen Ran almost agreed without thinking about it. He was about to run to the city. Just now he had been thinking about whether to absorb Kunwu Dao or not. Absorb it, if Kunwu Dao disappears, it will be a big loss. As a jade carver, the status of Kunwu Dao in his heart is self-evident, but don’t absorb it, he is very curious, but no matter what To absorb or not to absorb, now he is facing a problem, that is, there is only one energy aperture left in his mind.

Let's add some energy aperture first.

Chen Ran agreed, and went out, and the little thing followed quickly. Chen Ran hugged it in his arms, and found that the little thing had grown a lot.

In the past few days, the change of the little thing can be described as the same day by day, which surprised Chen Ran's family members. When he brought it back, it was only a little bit big, and now it is almost as big as those adult poodles.

Chen Ran guessed that the change of the little thing should be related to the conditioning of his body with the energy aperture. Since he used the energy aperture to condition it once, he has not adjusted it again. Now that it has been so long, when he gets the energy The aperture is just to give it another adjustment.

The little thing was held in Chen Ran's arms, and was also extremely happy. He continued to have fun with Chen Ran, and even stuck out his tongue to 'lick' Chen Ran's face, but Chen Ran pressed its head and gave it to him. Pressed it, the little thing was pushed away by Chen Ran, quite resentful, as if very dissatisfied with Chen Ran.

Open the passenger seat of the off-road vehicle, stuff the little thing in, and Chen Ran got into the driver's seat from the other side. As soon as the little thing heard the sound of the off-road vehicle engine, it set up its two front legs, so happy that it couldn't find the way. The little guy didn't know whether it was because of heredity or because he had never seen the world from the countryside, so he became excited as soon as he got in the car.

It only took more than 20 minutes to drive to the city. At this moment, it was more than two hours before Chen Xiaowen finished school, so Chen Ran went directly to Huakang Market, and the little guy ran after Chen. ... At this time, it was obviously the time when the antique market was at its least crowded. The entire Huakang Market's antique area was deserted, and there were very few stalls in the yard, only a dozen or so sparse stalls. Chen Ran swept At a glance, he saw a weapon shop at the door, and he was most interested in ancient swords at this time, so he walked in.

The name of this antique shop of ancient swords and swords is impressively called Daojianxiao. Daojianxiao has two facades and two rooms. Except for the doors and windows, there are mahogany Duobaoge and Duobaogeli standing on the wall. Holding a handful of swords, there is a mahogany carved flat-headed table in the center of the room, on which are displayed all kinds of weapons, swords, spears, and guns, and there are some jade statues in the middle.

The shop was a bit deserted, only a thin old man standing at the counter seemed to be practicing calligraphy, when Chen Ran came in, he looked up and assumed that Chen Ran didn't exist.

Chen Ran took a look. The weapons in the store were mainly new weapons. On the right side of the store, there were some older weapons, but even without using the energy aperture, Chen Ran could tell that these weapons I'm afraid most of them are antique.

After patrolling for a long while, Chen Ran finally found a big knife that looked like a wide open door.

"Little brother, are you interested in this knife?" The shopkeeper, the skinny old man, walked behind Chen Ran and asked at some point. When Chen Ran turned around, he smiled and said, "Do you know the big sword Wang Wu? This knife It is the same type of broadsword used by the Great Swordsman Wang Wu, and it was made in the same era..."

Chen Ran ignored him, but was thinking about the age of this knife. Now he only has one energy aperture left, and he can't use it casually. According to his observation, this knife is estimated to have a history of 200 years. Aperture is clearly not enough.

After glancing twice, Chen Ran was about to leave the shop, but when he was leaving, he suddenly found some scabbards at the door of the shop.Needless to say, the sharpness of the Kunwu Knife, if there is no scabbard, it may not be easy to carry it.

"Boss, can you order scabbard here? I got a dagger, but I don't have a scabbard. I want to order one." Chen Ran stopped, turned around and asked. When the master didn't leave again, he rushed in again and circled around Chen Ran.

"Dagger?" Hearing Chen Ran's words, the skinny old man didn't answer the question, and said with a smile: "What kind of dagger is the little brother got? Can you take a look at it?"

Chen Ran shook his head: "The dagger is with my friend for the time being."

"Little brother, that's what we do here. Of course, we can make custom-made scabbards, but it's hard to do without a prototype..." The thin old man shook his head and said.

"I can draw you a picture, the shape and length are exactly the same, can you make it?" Chen Ran is not worried that others will find the existence of the Kunwu knife according to the drawing, because the length of the Kunwu knife is similar to that of the ancient text. It is exactly the same as described in the book, but the specific shape is not recorded in the literature. Besides, even if there is, other people may not think of the Kunwu jade cutting knife when they see it.

"Then it's fine."

The thin old man smiled and nodded: "By the way, do you want the scabbard soft or hard? Our store has shark skin, python skin, monitor lizard skin, and mahogany skin for the hard scabbard. There are also ivory ones, rhinoceros horn ones, and the best ones are purple quiver wood ones, of course, there are also cheap ones, like pine wood, cypress wood..."

"Which one is the strongest? If the dagger is too sharp, don't get cut by it all at once?" Chen Ran didn't expect that a simple scabbard could have so many tricks. It doesn't matter what the material is, the main thing is to get acquainted with it. Needless to say, the sharpness of the Kunwu knife, even the gloomy wood is like cutting vegetables. If it is not strong, it will probably break in two days.

"Hey, look at what you said, how can a knife be scratched? The scabbards we order here are all specially processed. Even if your dagger is cut like mud, it will not be scratched." The thin old man was a little funny Looking at Chen Ran, after doing so much business, it was the first time he heard such a question from a customer.

My dagger really cuts iron like mud!Chen Ran thought to himself.

Whether it can be cut by the Kunwu knife can only be tried. Chen Ran asked the boss to bring a pen and paper, and described the shape and length of the Kunwu knife with his eyes closed, and then picked out a shark skin and purple After paying the deposit and exchanging phone numbers with the boss, the scabbard combined with Shiverwood left the sword laughing shop.

Chen Ran still has an energy aperture left, and he can only start from scratch and accumulate slowly. First, he comes to the small yard and starts with stalls one by one. Yes, there are still a lot of things from the late Qing Dynasty, but they are all folk old things with little value.

Chen Ran's main purpose now is to accumulate energy apertures. It doesn't matter if the value is big or not. First, he picked a jar with a history of more than 100 years, earned his first energy aperture, and then... walked down from stall to stall , the accumulated energy apertures are also increasing, and when the last booth is seen, the accumulated energy apertures have reached more than 70, and the harvest is quite good.

After wandering around the stalls, Chen Ran began to enter the store, but he almost went to all the antique shops in the antique area, but he didn't see a few real things. Every time he entered a store, the owner was very enthusiastic, but the owner To him, the things that are brought out are often fake at a glance, which naturally makes him very depressed.

He didn't know that these shopkeepers thought he was young and had a good temperament, and he also had a pet dog that seemed to be very expensive, so they took him for a fool.

Reluctantly, he accumulated more than 20 more, and in a fit of anger, Chen Ran left Huakang Market directly.

I drove to the gate of Tianzhong University. Seeing that it was almost time, I called Chen Xiaowen and waited at the school gate. Not long after, Chen Xiaowen came out with his classmates. Besides Chen Xiaowen, there were Two of his classmates.

Both of his classmates are from the countryside. By this time, it was already late and it was difficult to take a bus. Chen Xiaowen asked Chen Ran to send them off. Naturally, Chen Ran would not refuse to send these two classmates home first. Turned around and returned to Bishui County.

When we arrived at home, dinner was just ready. In addition to his big family, there was also his second aunt's family, plus Guo Hai. It was extremely lively. The family had dinner happily and drank some wine Both Chen Ping and Guo Hai had just drank outside. After drinking a little, they went straight to sleep. In the end, only two big men, Chen Ran and Wu Jianguo, were left. Chen Ran could only drink some with Wu Jianguo. Of course, Chen Xiaowen didn't see him as a man yet, but he also drank two glasses.

After eating, I went back to my room and just drank a little wine. For a while, Chen Ran's spirit was a little excited, and he didn't want to sleep. He just sat there and always thought of that The jade-like woman thought of the cold-faced female policewoman landlord. In the end, he had to force himself to calm down, practiced the eight-knife split-wave carving method for a while, and practiced the weird dance again.

There are a total of eighteen movements in the weird dance. Chen Ran is now able to do the first movement very skillfully, but he can't do the second movement well. Sweating, but after finishing it, it feels very refreshing, like taking a sauna and asking the scrubber to take a bath, I feel a few pounds lighter... After taking a bath, Chen Ran sat on the head of the bed, first He carried the little thing over and spent seven or eight circles of energy to recuperate his body.Being conditioned by Chen Ran, the little thing didn't feel more and more energetic like someone conditioned his body. Instead, after Chen Ran conditioned his body, he found a corner and went to sleep. up.

Chen Ran couldn't sleep either, so he just took the Kunwu knife and played with it. When he was playing, he released a circle of energy from time to time for the Kunwu knife to absorb. He found that every time the Kunwu knife absorbed an energy circle, the forest on the knife The light seemed to be brighter, which made him a little strange. Could it be that his energy aperture can also regulate the dagger's body?

This idea made Chen Ran a little dumbfounded. Apart from this, he didn't know whether it was an illusion or what was going on. As he let Kunwu Dao absorb the energy circle, he felt that there seemed to be a faint gap between Kunwu Dao and him. There was a faint connection.

In order to confirm this feeling, Chen Ran continuously releases energy circles for the dagger to absorb. Anyway, according to the number of circles absorbed by the skull pendant, even if he absorbs all the existing energy circles for Kunwu Knife, he will not let him absorb them. Kunwu Dao, unknowingly, let Kunwu Dao absorb more than 40 energy circles... I don't know how long it has passed, and Chen Ran sat on the bed and fell asleep in a daze .

The sky was full of stars outside the window, and these stars made people feel a little cold. The stars emitted a cool light, projected in from the open window, and shone on Chen Ran who was sleeping at the bedside.

And Kun Wudao lay quietly on the bedside table, just bathed in this bit of starlight.

The room was quiet, except for Chen Ran's slight snoring.

Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light between Chen Ran's eyebrows, and with the flickering of golden light, there was a sudden suction force between his eyebrows, and at this moment, a slightly blue and black knife popped out of the dark knife of Kunwu Dao. The colored halo flew towards Chen Ran's eyebrows... With the first one, there will be the second one... Gradually.
