Chapter 39 Master Liang? Master!
Seeing that the first one to stand up was the second senior brother, the one who was absent for the past two days should be the eldest senior brother, Liang Qu thought.
Yu Dun, who looked like an old farmer, took out an animal skin cloak. The cloak was completely black with a layer of shiny fur.
"Ninth Junior Brother, this is a bear-skin cloak. It cannot be cut by a knife, it won't rot in water, and it is very good for keeping out the cold. Now that winter has arrived, I hope you like it."
"Thank you, Second Brother!" Liang Qu bowed and happily took the cloak.
The cloak feels extremely soft and comfortable. It is hard to imagine that it can actually protect against cold weapons.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the two sets of linen clothes I bought earlier are really useless. This is just the right thing to solve the urgent problem.
Third Senior Brother Lu Gang stepped forward and said, "Ninth Senior Brother, take a look at mine."
Lu Gang is the most muscular among all his fellow disciples, with extremely sturdy and powerful upper limbs. Even in winter, he is still only wearing a short shirt, and in his hand he holds a piece of black metal that is as long as his arm and as thick as his wrist.
"What's this, Third Brother?" Liang Qu was confused. Giving him a piece of steel?
Yang Dongxiong smiled and said, "Lu Gang was born a blacksmith. His grandfather was a blacksmith in the barracks and followed Emperor Taizu to conquer the world. The weapons he made were excellent. This piece of tungsten is most suitable for making weapons. He wants to use this piece of tungsten to make a weapon for you. I want to ask what you like to use."
Lu Gang nodded: "I can fight with swords, spears, swords and halberds. I wonder what Ninth Junior Brother likes to use."
weapon?
Liang Qu became more creative. He had long wanted a weapon, but iron tools were expensive. Until now, he had been using a sharpened stone knife to butcher fish.
My home ground is underwater, so weapons that require chopping, slashing, and swinging are not very good. The most suitable weapons are stabbing weapons.
The most commonly used weapon by fishermen is the harpoon, and in order to increase the chance of hitting the target, they often use a trident.
Liang Qu didn't need a trident. He was dealing with monsters like crab monsters. What he wanted was to destroy them with one strike rather than the hit rate. The spear was the most suitable weapon for him.
After a moment's silence, Liang Qu said respectfully, "I like spears. I wonder if Senior Brother Lu Gang can make a big spear for me?"
Yang Dongxiong was surprised: "Long spear? Long spear is easy to learn but difficult to master. Of course, I can teach you."
"The disciple is determined."
Seeing this, Yang Dongxiong stopped trying to persuade him. It was difficult to master any weapon, he was just mentioning it, and besides, the spear was indeed easy to use.
"Okay, I'll draw some drawings of the spear for you later. Take a look at the styles and I'll start making them once you've decided. The materials for the spear shaft are readily available. There's no need to do the work. If you use tuna lacquer, it'll only take about two months."
"About two months?" Liang Qu was startled and asked worriedly, "Will it be too much trouble for Senior Brother?"
"No, it only takes about ten days to make it. Raw lacquer takes a long time, while tuna lacquer takes a short time. Ordinary glue lacquer takes at least three months."
"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, Senior Brother Lu."
"I won't let my fellow apprentice down."
Next is the fourth senior brother Xu Zishuai, a tall young man who joked last night that his title as the most handsome man was no longer secure. He looks handsome, fair-skinned, with an upright posture and a carefree air.
Senior Brother Xu gave a pair of tungsten steel arm guards that can cover the entire forearm. They are hard in texture but very light, and have leather buckles to adjust the tightness.
Fifth Senior Sister Zhuo Shaoqin is tall and heroic, and she was given a pair of cloud-stepping boots made of ghostly tiger skin, which are light and breathable.
Sixth Senior Brother Cao Rang has an upright appearance and looks dignified. He gave me a jade pendant from Qing Dynasty, which has the effect of invigorating the mind and relieving fatigue. Using it as a pillow when sleeping at night has miraculous effects. Three and a half hours of sleep out of four hours is enough.
Seventh Senior Brother Hu Qi is tall, and he was given a belt that is one and a half palms wide, made of mountain cowhide, with dark red lines and patterns. It cannot be burned by fire or cut by a knife, and has very good defensive properties.
Eighth Senior Brother Xiang Changsong presented a narrow-sleeved robe of excellent quality, inlaid with gold edges. Natural silk was mixed in during the weaving process. The texture was soft yet tough, not easy to be damaged, and very beautiful.
Liang Qu thanked them one by one and was deeply moved.
After traveling for so long, it was the first time that he enjoyed the relaxed feeling of having someone to rely on.
It's good to have more items, there are seven items, all of which are extraordinary. Belt, arm guard, robe, cloak, weapon, accessories, shoes, directly put together a complete set!
Liang Qu felt like Sun Wukong who went to the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea and took the golden crown, golden armor, and cloud shoes one by one.
Fourth brother Xu Zishuai's next words confirmed his guess.
"I am most afraid of giving gifts, as they are a waste of time. Later, after discussing with my fellow apprentices, I decided to buy you a complete set of clothes, giving each of you one so that you won't have any conflicts.
How about it, Xiaojiu, do you want to try it on? You are as handsome as me, it must look good on you."
"Yes, it must be beautiful." Xiang Changsong, who gave the robe, wanted to see how his gift would turn out. "Considering that you are at an age when you are growing taller, I didn't cut the size of the robe, but it shouldn't be a problem."
Xu also said: "Go and give it a try."
For a moment, all the brothers wanted to see how Liang Qu would look with their gifts.
"This..." Liang Qu looked at his master Yang Dongxiong.
Yang Dongxiong stroked his beard and laughed, "Since your brothers and sisters want to see it, Nan Di, take my ninth disciple to the guest room to change clothes."
"Yes." Nan Di walked forward, and stretched out her slender white right hand to the side corridor and said, "Master Jiu, follow me."
Ninth Young Master?
Liang Qu was in a trance and came to the guest room with Nan Di in a daze.
Nan Di asked the servants to bring a large bronze mirror. The large bronze mirror was polished to be as smooth as water, and was in no way inferior to the silver mirrors and aluminum mirrors of later generations.
Looking at his vigorous and energetic self in the mirror, Liang Qu had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
When he first came, he was pale and thin, with sunken cheeks, and his life was like a candle in the wind, but what about now?
Two months, sixty days.
He is full of energy and looks radiant, and some people even call him the Ninth Young Master!
Ninth Young Master!
He couldn't believe that it was him who was called!
"Ha ha."
Liang Qu, who was standing in front of the bronze mirror, suddenly laughed out loud. When he glanced at Nan Di beside him, he realized that there was someone else here. He coughed twice awkwardly and tried hard to hold back his smile, but his cheek muscles soon couldn't hold it back.
"Hahaha"
It's over. I'm going to be treated as a fool.
Liang Qu took a deep breath, used his breath to suppress his smile, restrained his facial muscles, and pretended to be a serious person again.
"Sorry, I'm just kidding."
Nan Di bowed slightly, revealing two shallow dimples on her face: "It is of course worth being happy that the Ninth Young Master can become Master Yang's disciple. There are so many cities, towns, and villages around here, and many people want to become his disciple but don't have the chance. This proves that the Ninth Young Master is a rare talent, many times better than ordinary people."
Look, she is worthy of being a maid from a wealthy family. She is pretty and speaks nicely. She is so corrupt.
Liang Qu clenched his fist, covered his face and coughed: "Well, you go out first, and come in after I change."
"Yes."
When the guest room was empty, Liang Qu took off his coat and prepared to get dressed.
The clean clothes he was wearing were given to him by Hu Qi last night. They were quite decent. If he had worn his brown linen shirt today, it would not only be indecent, but he wouldn't even have a decent undershirt, and it would look awkward even if he was wearing good clothes.
It was the first time Liang Qu wore formal clothes, and he studied it for a while before finding the right way to wear it.
Poor people don’t have so many requirements. They just wear open-necked linen clothes, which they put on in whatever way is convenient.
Gold-rimmed robe, white-bottomed cloud boots, wide belt made of mountain cow, jade pendant on waist, ebony waist badge, tungsten gold arm guard, black cloak made of dog and bear skin
Liang Qu picked up the items one by one and put them on.
In the mirror, a brand new Liangqu appears!
