Longevity Martial Arts: Start with Five Animals Health Boxing Chapter 39

  Chapter 39 Crossbow! Find a buyer!

   "I want to ask the owner of the village." Director Liu went to ask the owner of the village, Mo Tie.

   After a while, Director Liu returned, and he said to Su Changkong: "The village owner agrees, but you must pay attention to safety!"

   "Well, thank you!" Su Changkong's eyes lit up.

   Being able to use the forging tools in the workshop, Su Changkong can start making bows and crossbows!

   Every day during the day, Su Changkong builds weapons as usual. When the evening comes, everyone rests, and Su Changkong stays in the workshop alone to build the parts needed for the crossbow.

   "Clang clang clang!"

  In the evening, Su Changkong held a small hammer and forged the metal sheet in front of him. This part is very delicate, and the forging technology is higher. Su Changkong's forging has reached the 5th level, and it is difficult for anyone in the entire Black Iron Villa to surpass it!

  Su Changkong worked overtime, worked hard, worked hard, spent twenty days, and finally built his first crossbow!

  Su Changkong looked excited at the finished product in front of him.

  The bow stem is wrapped with a black leather strip to increase stability and enhance the structural density. The crossbow arm is about one meter long, and the whole looks like a cross.

   "Try the finished product!"

  Su Changkong tried the power of the crossbow he built.

  In a wood outside the Black Iron Villa, Su Changkong fully loaded and wound the crossbow string, filled in a forged arrow, aimed at a tree several feet away, and then pulled the trigger.

   "Peng!"

  The bowstring bounced back, making a muffled sound of "Peng", and with the sound of machine clasping, the arrow was propelled by a strong kinetic energy and flew out of the air!

   "Shut!"

  The arrow hit the tree, the arrow sank two or three inches into the tree body, the arrow feathers trembled, and the power was strong!

  Su Changkong experimented many times and finally came to a conclusion.

   "The crossbow I built has the power and range of an ordinary bow and arrow, and the effective range is about 70 to 100 meters!"

  Su Changkong nodded secretly.

Compared with bows and arrows, the speed of filling arrows with crossbows is slower and more troublesome, but its advantages are that it is easy to use and has high accuracy. The lower limit is also lowered!

   Unlike bows and arrows, experienced archers have to practice bows and arrows for at least a few years, which makes the two levels different.

  Su Changkong believes that with some good materials and more advanced forging techniques, he can make the crossbow more powerful, with an effective range of more than 100 meters, but Su Changkong did not do this.

   The crossbow he built was sold for money, and he didn't need to build it so well or so advanced. On the contrary, he built such a high-quality crossbow, and it was easier to attract attention!

   So that is enough.

   "Just build the crossbow in batches according to the quality of this crossbow." Su Changkong secretly said.

   built the first crossbow. With experience, Su Changkong built it faster. The second crossbow only took him ten days.

   In the blink of an eye, a month and a half passed by.

   "I built three crossbows and sold them first."

  Su Changkong built a total of three crossbows during this period of time, he thought.

Crossbows are made with high technical content and are easier to use than bows and arrows, but because of the ban of the Great Yan Dynasty, it is a serious crime to hide armored crossbows. It will attract the attention of people who are interested in it, and it will be a problem to find a buyer.

  Su Changkong has run out of Yiqi Powder in the past month and needs money to buy more herbs!

   "You can ask Yan Song."

   A person appeared in Su Changkong's mind.

  Yan Song is a knife catcher. He has been in the arena for many years. He should know where to sell some shady things.

  Su Changkong set off and went to Caishen Town, where Yan Song lived.

   What made Su Changkong slightly relieved was that Yan Song still lived in Caishen Town, otherwise Su Changkong would be in a hurry.

  Not long after Su Changkong knocked on the door, the door opened slightly, revealing Yan Song's face, looking at Yan Song's appearance, there was a slight sweat on his forehead, he should be practicing martial arts.

   "Brother Wentai?"

   Seeing Su Changkong appearing at the door, Yan Song was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Changkong to come to him so soon, but he reacted and invited, "Come and sit first."

  Su Changkong entered the house according to his words, and Yan Song poured Su Changkong a cup of tea.

  Su Changkong said straight to the point: "Brother Yan, I came to you because I imagined you to ask for some news."

   "Everything you know! Brother Wen, just ask!" Yan Song said very readily.

   After hesitating for a while, Su Changkong said, "I want to sell something that is not very easy to sell..."

  Su Changkong didn't say what he wanted to sell, but Yan Song immediately showed a knowing smile: "Indeed, sometimes some things you get are not easy to sell in the market."

  Yan Song also often killed some thieves and bandits, and obtained a lot of loot that was difficult to sell. He felt that Su Changkong should be the same.

   "Brother Yan knows there is a way to sell these things?" Su Changkong's heart moved when he saw this.

   Yan Song nodded: "Yes, do you know about ghost markets?"

   "Ghost city?" Su Changkong was puzzled.

   Yan Song explained: "Ghost market, everything is sold in this place... You can understand it as a black market. There are ghost markets in almost every area."

"I see!"

  Su Changkong knew that this so-called ghost market is actually a black market. In a ghost market, there are buyers for some prohibited items. Of course, the transaction is not guaranteed, and you may be deceived or even targeted by someone with a heart and lose your life!

   "Go to this ghost city, the crossbow I built should be able to sell."

  Su Changkong secretly said, he is very short of money, and this ghost market is equivalent to a black market, and some items that are explicitly prohibited have a chance to be sold in it!

  Su Changkong said to Yan Song, "Brother Yan, I want to go to this ghost market, can you tell me where the ghost market is?"

"Of course, the nearest ghost city in Qingshui City, located in a barren mountain two hundred miles south of Qingshui City, is open every month on the night of the 15th. You can take this token and go to the place on time, and someone will pick you up. You enter a ghost city."

   Yan Song very readily informed Su Changkong of the location and precautions of the ghost market, and at the same time turned around and entered the inner room, took out a black token, and handed it to Su Changkong.

The ghost city is located in an extremely desolate barren mountain. If no one introduces it, no one will go there without any problems. Yan Song has also been in the Qingshui City martial arts for many years. Where the ghost city is.

   "Thank you, Brother Yan!"

  Su Changkong is grateful, many friends do have many ways, from Yan Song he learned where the ghost market is!

   Then Su Changkong left, while Yan Song got up and sent Su Changkong away.

   "Yan Lang... Who was that person just now?"

   Not long after Su Changkong left, a woman with a gentle temperament appeared at the door and said curiously.

   "A friend." Yan Song responded casually, with a gentle expression on his face, "Jie'er, come in and sit."

The    woman nodded shyly, without saying anything.
