Chapter 42: Weapons instead of skills
"After the matter is completed, I hope the county government can help Chu build a fourth-grade weapon." Chu Tang quickly told Fang Kai his conditions.
"Fourth grade weapon?" Fang Kai's eyes lit up.
Fourth-grade weapons are uncommon, but fourth-grade exercises are even rarer.
From the perspective of a warrior, the state of cultivation is the most important, and weapons are things external to the body, so they are secondary.
Fang Kai couldn't figure out why Chu Tang would rather have weapons than exercises of the same level, but he could agree to this request.
"No problem!" Fang Kai quickly promised, "When we get to the county town, I will take you to the county armory and let you choose a fourth-grade weapon."
Although there are not many experts in Gui County, the imperial court's hundreds of years of accumulation have extremely rich resources, including many higher-grade weapons.
In normal times, the yamen often use these weapons to reward those who have made meritorious deeds, which is much more generous than using exercises of the same level.
Xu Wei was also anxious for Chu Tang and quickly advised: "Chu Tang, you are still young and there is a high possibility of impacting the four realms. Choosing exercises will be more helpful to you. Weapons are something that you will have the opportunity to do in the future.
Not hard to find."
Chu Tang comforted him with a smile: "Don't be impatient, I know what I'm doing."
After saying that, Chu Tang said to Fang Kai again: "Master Fang heard wrongly. Chu does not want ready-made weapons, but wants the county government to come forward and find people to find materials and build a brand new four-armed weapon according to Chu's requirements.
Quality weapons."
Fang Kai's face turned ugly when he heard this.
It is not very convenient to re-create a fourth-grade weapon.
A magical weapon, the first priority is materials, followed by craftsmanship and craftsmen.
If you want to make a fourth-grade weapon, you must use materials of the same grade, and then craftsmen of the same grade must use their unique craftsmanship to make it.
This is much more difficult than finding ready-made fourth-grade weapons.
"Do we have to have new weapons?" Fang Kai asked in a deep voice.
Chu Tang said: "It's not that Mr. Chu meant to embarrass Mr. Fang, but that Mr. Chu had recently made some gains in martial arts training and was unable to exert the highest combat power with the current standard sword, so he tried every means to design a suitable weapon for himself."<
/p>
Fang Kai's face turned pale and he asked: "Can you also design weapons? What are they like?"
Chu Tang smiled and said: "When it is built, Mr. Fang will be able to see it."
Fang Kai fell silent, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Okay! Fang agreed! When you get to the county town, report the arrest, and then find someone to forge your weapons for you."
Chu Tang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Fang, for your kindness!"
Fang Kai said very directly: "Fang appreciates you and thinks highly of you. I hope you will not disappoint."
Chu Tang handed over his hand and thanked him again.
Fang Kai was indeed very generous to him and gave him a big gift.
A fourth-grade weapon, worth one or two thousand taels of silver, is simply beyond the reach of a person of Chu Tang’s level and status.
If he doesn't have a windfall and refuses to take advantage of others, he can't even hope to own a fourth-grade weapon even if he spends his whole life as a detective.
At this point, we have to say that small places have their limitations.
In Shixian County, it was rare for him to even see a third-grade weapon; when he arrived at the county government, he found a fourth-grade weapon that was said to have been made.
You must know that Fang Kai is just a squad leader, not the head catcher of the county government. However, he often uses fourth-grade exercises and fourth-grade weapons to bargain for prices without showing much embarrassment or distress. This shows that the county government's family is rich.
How profound.
This is something that is extremely difficult to achieve in Shixian County.
After the two agreed on the terms, Fang Kai asked Chu Tang to prepare. After a day's rest, they would set off early in the morning the day after tomorrow.
He is the only one in Chu Tang's family, so he doesn't have much to worry about when traveling far away, which is extremely convenient.
After Fang Kai went to rest and said goodbye, Chu Tang and Xu Wei were the only two people left in the room.
Listening to Fang Kai's retreating footsteps, Xu Wei couldn't help but blame him and said: "Xiaotang, what do you want to say to me? After all, Fang Kai is from the county government. If you negotiate terms with him directly, if the negotiation fails,
, how will you deal with yourself in the future?"
"Isn't this negotiated?" Chu Tang said with a smile, "Uncle Xu, don't worry too much, I think the other party is quite satisfied."
"You..." Xu Wei suddenly became angry.
Chu Tang quickly changed the subject: "Uncle Xu, it's my first time to travel far away. Why don't you explain it?"
Xu Wei's attention was indeed diverted. He was about to impart his experience of walking outside when he suddenly remembered something and said sternly: "Xiaotang, tell me honestly, why didn't you choose the Four Realms Cultivation Technique instead of tinkering with some kind of weapon? That's
The Four Realms Kung Fu, how rare and rare it is!"
At the end of the sentence, Xu Wei's face was full of envy and regret, and he finally sighed: "If I could have acquired a Four Realm technique when I was young, I might have been able to get a glimpse of the mysteries of the Four Realms in this life. It's a pity that I have wasted time.
, Now that we are old and weak, there is no hope for our surroundings."
Chu Tang couldn't explain it, so he could only make up a story: "Uncle Xu, I recently learned a sword technique, which I feel is better than the Soul-Severing Sword. I want to get a sword and give it a try."
"Swordsmanship? Do you want to use a sword instead?" Xu Wei was startled, then nodded, "You are still young, you can really try other martial arts. Unlike Uncle Wei, you will never have a chance again. Alas... that's all, Wei
I won’t talk about you anymore, I just hope you can seize the opportunity and become stronger!”
Xu Wei is not stupid. He has also seen the changes in Chu Tang over the years. He naturally knows that the other party has some secrets, but he does not tell them or ask. He just hopes that he will not go astray and that everything will go well.
p>
Seeing Xu Wei's devastated look, Chu Tang couldn't help but suddenly regretted one thing: he shouldn't have killed Lin Jie so quickly that day. He could have tortured him to find out his Four Realm skills before killing him.
He doesn't care about the Four Realm Kung Fu, but Xu Wei or Xu Jin are in short supply!
Don’t expect to pass on any skills rewarded by the county to others. The rule of the imperial court has always been that if you take something from me, you have to work hard for me, and your descendants will be endless!
In fact, Chu Tang also thought about secretly passing on the martial arts skills of the panel to Xu Jin and Xu Wei, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.
The panel has always been a direct initiation, with no map, no route, and no method.
Make a copy according to the memory in your mind?
It’s not that it’s not possible, it’s that I don’t dare to implement it.
Take the Kung Fu method as an example. After the initiation, the inner Qi will move on its own. Chu Tang does not have to explore the route to move the Kung Fu. It would be very dangerous to forcefully copy it to others.
The meridians and acupuncture points of the human body are extremely complex and criss-crossed. If you don't know how to do it, the internal energy will run wild, and if you are not careful, you will either die or become disabled.
If Chu Tang wants to forcibly copy, then he must first learn all the meridians and acupuncture points of the human body, and then draw them one by one according to the inner strength route.
This project is extremely huge and cannot be realized in one day.
This is also the reason why in this world, everyone wants to obtain a high-level skill. It is really rare to inherit it.
Not long ago, a large number of people from all walks of life poured into Shixian County to compete for a five-level martial arts. This is a classic example.
The skills are like this, and the body skills are also similar.
Many Qinggong body techniques, in addition to movement routes and flying skills, also involve the Five Elements and Bagua directions. It may be difficult to succeed even if you get a secret book and practice it, let alone to manifest what is in your mind.
For example, Chu Tang's "The Hundred Changes of Divine Movement" involves the Nine Bagua and Nine Palaces. He is really confused if he really wants to learn these things, let alone teach them to others.
The only thing Chu Tang can do to express his martial arts skills on the panel is his moves.
He now has two martial arts skills, one is the blood sword technique, and the other is the Quanzhen sword technique.
Needless to say, Quanzhen swordsmanship, Xu Wei and Xu Jin have practiced swordsmanship all their lives, and asking them to practice swordsmanship instead is no different than asking them to die.
The blood knife technique can be taught, and the effect is not big, because others cannot use chivalry points to improve their martial arts like him, so they have to work hard to practice it.
It took them a lifetime to perfect the thirty-six movements of the Soul-Destroying Sword passed down by the imperial court. If they try to practice another sword technique, they don't know how long it will take to get started. That means they are biting off more than they can chew.
Therefore, Chu Tang gave up the idea of passing on the panel martial arts to them.
He also looked down upon Lin Jie's kind of skills, but now it seems that he made a mistake. He doesn't need them, but that doesn't mean he can't get them and give them to Xu Wei and Xu Jin.
"If I encounter an opportunity like this again in the future, I should do something for them." Chu Tang had this idea.
He has no relatives in this world, but Xu Wei treats him like a close relative; Xu Jin even treats him as a brother, and has protected him with his life many times.
Chu Tang is not a ruthless person, and he also wants to make some contribution to them when he can.
But that’s all for the future.
Two days later.
After finishing his rest, Fang Kai gathered everyone and continued to escort the prisoners back to the county government.
Chu Tang also set off.
Chapter completed!
