Chapter 185: Mountain Anchor
get together?
Liang Qu opened his clothes and placed the two flowers close to his body.
"What is this party that Brother Ran is talking about?"
Ran Zhongshi closed the treasury door and turned the dial to lock it.
"We have a gathering of our own people once a month to exchange ideas and strengthen our relationship."
Once a month?
Liang Qu's heart moved slightly.
He Bo arrived in Pingyang County in March. Even if the meeting was not held that month due to the rush, there should have been one in April, but he knew nothing about it.
in this case……
You really have to demonstrate your own value, otherwise no one will want to play with you.
After a little thought, Liang Qu accepted Ran Zhongshi's invitation. Anyway, there was nothing important to do that day, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to make more connections.
"Okay, I'll send someone to look for you then."
"Please trouble Brother Ran."
As we walked down the deck, the ship's chains creaked as they tightened and loosened with the rise and fall of the waves.
Liang Qu suddenly turned around and looked at Ran Zhongshi, pointed at the boat lock and asked, "Brother Ran, what kind of anchor is this ship using?"
"Anchor? A four-claw iron anchor. Why do you say that, Brother Liang?"
Ran Zhongshi didn't understand what he meant and didn't know why he suddenly brought up the issue of the anchor.
"I have an anchor that has a grip ten times stronger than a four-claw iron. It is very easy to hook into the ground, and there is no need to send a hook fixer. It is also cast in one piece. If there is enough fire in the furnace, an ordinary blacksmith can cast it. If I donate it, can I get a reward from the riverside?"
"Oh?" Ran Zhongshi raised his eyebrows. "If that's the case, then of course there is one, but it has to be as useful as Brother Liang said."
Since Ran Zhongshi was able to come to the Hebo Station, he naturally had some understanding of ships and knew the importance of anchors.
Don't board a boat if there is a road; traveling by boat or horse is very dangerous.
The big anchor on the ship is like a horse's tail. It seems insignificant, but it is actually indispensable.
But the four-claw iron anchor has been around for countless years. Can Liang Qu really come up with a better anchor?
In view of the previous experience of Pinyin, Ran Zhongshi did not refute it in person.
"Definitely! I can draw it now. Brother Ran will have someone cast it and we'll know the result. If things go well, we'll have the result tomorrow."
Liang Qu also suddenly thought of this, as he had never paid attention to this aspect before.
Even he himself has so far used stones, which is also what most fishermen do.
Chisel a hole in the middle of the stone, then tie the stone with a cable, and throw the stone into the water or onto the shore whenever the boat needs to stop.
This thing is called "Ikari".
It’s not that there are no iron anchors, but with such a large piece of iron, why not use it to forge something else, instead of making an anchor?
Anchors are not even considered by ordinary people. If you build them today, they may be gone tomorrow.
Only merchant ships and large ships have four-claw anchors, and their shape is just like its name, with four grappling hooks.
But the grappling hook is not very useful. It is not that the hook can firmly hook the ground once it falls into the water. It is more likely that it will only hook the shallow layer and then keep being dragged away.
So there were people who specialized in diving into the water to set hooks.
Ran Zhongshi couldn't think of an iron anchor that didn't require a hook, but that didn't stop him from asking someone to bring paper and pen so that Liang Qu could draw the anchor he was talking about.
It's just a little bit of iron, it won't cost much money, and it's the people below who will try it anyway.
Liang Qu took the paper and pen and drew a round character "山".
The left and right sides are raised high, the tip is like two raised small shovels, and the bottom is an extended plane.
Since the shape is indeed simple, with only one side and a few strokes, it is enough to show the whole picture, and any blacksmith can understand it.
The shape was very novel and he had never seen such an anchor before, but Ran Zhongshi frowned when he saw it.
"Two hooks? Brother Liang, are you kidding? Two hooks are more secure and better than four hooks."
This is too counterintuitive to be convincing.
He looked up and noticed something was wrong. "Brother Liang...what happened?"
Ran Zhongshi suddenly felt a sense of loneliness from Liang Qu, as if... he had been away from home for many years.
"nothing."
Liang Qu straightened his back and laughed.
He wouldn't say that he suddenly wanted to lie on the sofa and watch an episode of Tom and Jerry, pointing at the drawing.
"Brother Ran, I won't brag about the boat. If it's better, you can ask someone to try it out. It won't take much effort. I recommend you go to the Lu shop in the county to make anchors. It's fast and good."
Ran Zhongshi's attention was still on Liang Qu.
"Don't be reckless when practicing martial arts. Too much is as bad as too little. Relaxing in moderation is the right way.
Brother Liang, you have such a high level of cultivation at such a young age, which is far beyond the average person. You should rest more on weekdays. Do you want me to ask for sick leave for you?"
"No need to do that. I just have a lot on my mind. Thank you for your concern, Brother Ran."
Liang Qu shook his head, jumped onto the shore, and waved goodbye to Ran Zhongshi.
"I just wanted to get some credit and make more money, which only made me more worried and depressed."
Liang Qu sighed, walked along the street filled with shouting, returned to the martial arts hall, and rode home.
Push the door open and walk past the shadow wall.
The sunlight penetrated the window paper, revealing a human figure. Confirming that the old monk was at home, Liang Qu walked into the quiet room with peace of mind.
I have to say, having a Zhenxiang Grandmaster at home really makes me feel safe, and I wouldn't even change my wife even if she was a beautiful woman.
After closing the doors and windows, Liang Qu sat upright on the cushion and opened the emerald wooden box.
The lotus blossomed, filling the room with red and blue light.
The scorching heat hits my face, but the center of the flower brings a refreshing coolness.
"Growing in underwater volcanoes, it has both heat and cold, the dual nature of fire and water, similar yet different, truly extraordinary."
Liang Qu looked delighted.
The reason why the two great skills were used to choose the two-life flower was, on the one hand, because this flower grows in water and can contribute a lot of water essence, and it is immune to all poisons and has the effect of improving the power of skills.
Even though the water treasure plant has a certain premium, it is still worth it for him.
Secondly, and most importantly, this flower helps to condense the golden body of dragon and tiger!
In addition to practicing hard day and night to condense the golden body, you can also rely on natural treasures to speed up your practice!
To condense an ordinary golden body, what is needed is nothing more than natural treasures that can consolidate the foundation, strengthen the body, and invigorate vitality.
There are slight differences between the golden bodies of the dragon and the tiger. The dragon and tiger energies contained in them are similar but different, and extremely mysterious.
If you choose natural treasures, in addition to containing vitality, they also need to have similar but different characteristics!
The meeting of the two flowers, cold and hot, is obviously a perfect match!
Although Liang Qu first changed to the two-life flower and then learned the "Diamond Sutra to Subdue Dragons and Tigers".
But he read through the entire set of skills before exchanging the great merit.
On the way back to Pingyang County from Fengbu County, Liang Qu had already memorized every detail of the process of refining the golden dragon and tiger body.
It is so difficult to find similar but different things that an average person may not even see one once in their lifetime, let alone a high-value similar but different thing.
Seeing this rare treasure on the great merit exchange book, Liang Qu exchanged it without hesitation.
With the help of this precious plant, we can definitely save ourselves months of hard work.
If you are lucky, you might be able to condense a golden body of a dragon or tiger in one breath, and create the aura of a dragon or tiger!
It's really nice to sit with the big tree behind you and enjoy the shade.
The old monk happened to be at home.
Vajra is indestructible, slaying evil and conquering demons!
I am coming!
When he thought of this, Liang Qu's heart leaped with joy.
He immediately sat cross-legged and gathered his energy, moving his Qi and blood according to the Vajra Sutra of Subduing Dragons and Subduing Tigers, cleansing his flesh and blood, and silently chanting the Dragon Subduing Mantra and the Tiger Subduing Mantra.
In the west wing, the old monk stopped turning his rosary beads.
