I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 16: White-robed Blue Blade and Black Wooden Chariot

in the house.

"Who?"

The old woman took a sip of wine. The old man sitting opposite her put away the bell and said with a gentle smile:
"My eldest disciple said that he found me another young disciple. It seems that he is an incredible genius, right?"

"genius."

The old woman coughed violently and sighed:

"In this great world, can our human race really still produce geniuses?"

The old man closed his eyes and did not answer.

The old woman took another sip of wine:

"Are you really not going back to Five Kings City? The king even sent an old woman like me to look for you."

"No return."

The old man shook his head and said:
"I know that is the last pure land of the human race, but it is not suitable for me. I can't stand those people fighting for power and profit. Haha."

"You are still like this, always like this. Sometimes I always wonder, how can this world be worthy of you?"

The old woman coughed violently again and coughed up blood, but she still smiled and said:
"Come to think of it, you have been in this city for more than ten years, right? How could a great sword immortal like you be wronged here?"

"There is a demon under the city, and that is why I am here."

"There are monsters under the monster city?" the old woman was surprised.

The old man shook his head slightly:

"It is a demon from the ancient times. It came from the sky, from that place. It is said to be a demon. It was once a great immortal official."

The old woman suddenly realized:

"Taikoo, you are talking about the sky"

As if she remembered something, she stopped the last word and asked:
“Do you still write poetry?”

"I won't do it anymore. I haven't done it for a long time. My country and family are all gone. I only need people to feed me. What the hell am I supposed to write poetry for? I'll just practice my sword skills and kill two more monsters before I die!"

The old woman clapped her hands and sighed:

"Can you please read the poem you wrote for me again?"

As she spoke, blood began to flow from all her orifices, her clothes became dirty, her hair became withered, sweat dripped from her armpits, her body became smelly, she was not happy with me, her soul was dry and exhausted.

Five signs of decline.

The old woman curled up, her face blurred by filthy blood, but she was smiling happily.

"Don't feel sorry for me."

She continued with a smile:
"That year, the blood sacrifice revived the ancestors of the human race, but by some strange coincidence, I was also called back from the reincarnation. You are considered an ancestor, but how can I be considered one? Now, I am just sleeping again."

After she finished speaking, the old woman fell silent.

The old man lowered his eyes and whispered the poem he had written for the old woman to her corpse:
"Clouds think about clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows on the threshold of Revlon."

"If we hadn't met at the top of Qunyu Mountain, we would have met under the moonlight at Yaotai."

He closed the eyes of the beauty who had once conquered the country in the ancient dynasty, and calmly drank the wine in the glass.

………………

"It is essential to take measurements. No matter how good the material of a piece of clothing is or how gorgeous the tailoring is, if it doesn't fit, it will make people laugh when they wear it."

Hu Leying instructed the elderly tailor to measure Zhou Mu's body and said familiarly:

"Old Li, remember to use the best silk and satin?"

"There's just a little bit left. Once it's used up, it'll be gone and there will never be any more." The tailor replied with a sigh.

Hu Leying was stunned:
"What?"

"Silk." The tailor said, "It is said that some time ago, a great demon master came to the inner city. He was a celestial silkworm. Since then, it is forbidden to raise silkworms."

Hu Leying suddenly realized:
"Pity."

The tailor took Zhou Mu's measurements, estimated him for a moment, and said:
"Even if we rush, it will take seven days. Sir Hu, and this lord, please come back to pick up the clothes in seven days."

"His last name is Zhou, and he's my junior fellow apprentice."

"Mr. Zhou." The tailor bowed to Zhou Mu.

"Let's go, little brother, next stop!"

Hu Leying did not stay long. After measuring Zhou Mu, she dragged him out of the tailor shop and headed towards the next location.

"Next, let's go to the blacksmith shop. I'll make you a set of fine soft armor and the sharpest sword."

"Long sword?" Zhou Mu allowed the little sister to pull him, and asked curiously, "Is our martial arts school mainly based on swords?"

"Yup!"

Hu Leying blinked: "Junior brother, you don't even know this?"

After a pause, she added:

"Master is best at swordsmanship. No, it should be poetry. But I heard from Senior Sister that Master stopped writing poetry many, many years ago."

While thinking wildly, he couldn't help but ask:
"Little Senior Sister, tell me, how long can one live after reaching a high level of cultivation?"

Hu Leying thought for a moment and said:

"I have some impression of this. Master once told us that a powerful monk can live for ten thousand years!"

"Ten thousand years?" Zhou Mu blinked.

"Yes."

Hu Leying nodded and said:

"I heard from Master that after the three levels of strength, we have the three levels of Qi, and after the three levels of Qi, we have the three levels of longevity. People who have reached the three levels of longevity are comparable to great demons and can live for more than 10,000 years."

After a pause, she said regretfully:

“But Master also said that this is the best I can do. Even if I become more powerful, have a higher level of cultivation, or even rank among the legendary immortals, I can still only live for more than 10,000 years.”

Zhou Mu Daqi:

"Why is this?"

"I do not know either!"

Hu Leying curled her lips and said:

"Why do you think monsters want to eat humans? Master said that it's because they can not only devour our flesh and blood, but also eat our lifespan to extend their own lifespan!"

Zhou Mu suddenly realized:

"That's why the monsters allow us to practice."

"Yes, the higher the level of cultivation, the more dangerous it is." Hu Leying sighed.

Zhou Mu seemed to be thinking about something.

As they were talking, they arrived at the blacksmith shop.

"This is the best shop among the hundreds of streets in the North District." Hu Leying pulled Zhou Mu forward. The blacksmith shop was not big. There was only an old blacksmith inside, who was hammering a piece of fine steel.

"Grandpa, here I come again!"

Hu Leying stretched out her hand and said:

"Same as always, a set of close-fitting soft armor and a hundred-forged long sword. This is my junior brother, his last name is Zhou!"

"Master Hu, Master Zhou, a hundred-forged sword is easy to make, but soft armor is difficult to make, and it will take half a month to prepare."

"Then we'll come back in half a month to pick it up!"

After giving some instructions, Hu Leying took Zhou Mu and continued on their journey.

"Next stop, the car shop!"

Zhou Mu had never been to these places before, so he just followed Hu Leying from one place to another in a daze.

In the carriage shop, Xiao Hu took a fancy to a black wooden carriage. It was in stock and he could pick it up right away without having to wait.

The chariot had two wheels covered with thick iron, and the seats were covered with dark fur. The canopy on the top was half-covered, just a pure decoration. If it really rained, it would not be able to stop it.

As for the one pulling the cart, it was a gigantic white dog as tall as a human!

"Master Hu, this is the black wooden chariot that is the symbol of our store. This ground dog is even more special. It has half of its intelligence and is close to being a strong dog. If its bloodline is a little bit stronger, it could be..."

The shopkeeper came closer and lowered his voice:
"That's a demon master at the half-demon level!"

Hu Leying was surprised:
"That's it. How much is it?"

The shopkeeper made a five.

Zhou Mu on the side was dumbfounded. Fifty thousand? ? ?

My previous salary was only 3,000 yuan a month.
Fifty thousand, it would take nearly two years of work!

Is this too expensive?

He looked at the luxurious black wooden chariot, then at the huge white dog, and thought, well, it is worth the price.

The status of dogs in this demon city is lower than that of humans. They are the only animals that people in the breeding area can eat, and dogs are also the ones who pull the carts.

"Five hundred thousand? So cheap?"

Hu Leying waved his hand and said arrogantly:
"Put it on my master's account!"

Zhou Mu took a breath of cold air.

Duo Shao???
