Chapter 183: The Craftsman

The shopkeeper took the silver, and the smile on his face was much brighter, and he introduced this "Linglong Town" to Yuqingquan in a colorful way. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Linglong Town, as the name suggests, it will not be a particularly large town, and most of the people in the town are manual laborers, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, florists, bricklayers, leathermen, florists, medical craftsmen and bamboo craftsmen, etc., each kind of craftsman is the same as those sects in the martial arts, they all need to apprentice to learn art, and there are more conditions for apprenticeship, but it is not what kind of profession you like, you go to apprentice, the master will accept you, and you will have to take an exam, depending on whether you have that kind of talent. The shopkeeper said.

"Is the exam difficult?" asked Yu Qingquan curiously.

"Of course it's hard! If you choose one, you won't be able to choose another in your life. These craftsmen will reach a very high level of this skill, but they still tirelessly pursue it and work hard to a higher level.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Yu Qingquan said admiringly.

"That's natural, so the exam you just mentioned must be difficult, raise the bar, and let only those who really like and are suitable join this profession, so that you are responsible for these craftsmen and for this craft. The shopkeeper said.

"But I don't see many people on the street, are they all studying in the house?" asked Yu Qingquan.

"This is only a part, there are also some powerful craftsmen, who are masters, are generally sent to the court to serve and do things, so there are naturally fewer people here. The shopkeeper explained.

"Oh, then little second brother, why didn't you learn a craft?"

"I, hey, I don't have that life! I don't know anything, so I can only do chores here and make a little money. The shopkeeper sighed.

"Haven't you been to the test?" asked Yu Qingquan again.

"Why didn't I take the exam, I went to the carpenter exam, and the result was ...... As a result, they said that my fingers were too thick and my mind was not meticulous enough, so they sent me away, and I ......" The shopkeeper said and was aggrieved.

Yu Qingquan was frightened, chatting and chatting with him, he almost made a man cry, and quickly took out a little silver from his sleeve and put it on the table.

"Okay, okay, I know, thank you, I'll go around the street!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qingquan flew away from the restaurant.

Yu Qingquan walked to the middle of the town, which looked a little more lively, and sure enough, there were many stalls there, which looked like a small market.

Before he walked in, he heard the sound of "Qiang!Qiang!", which must be the sound of the blacksmith striking iron, Yu Qingquan took a closer look, and sure enough, a stout man with a bare upper body was swinging a large sledgehammer to hit a large piece of pig iron on the stove in a shop.

"Do you want to buy something?"

When the man saw someone approaching, he stopped what he was doing and wiped his sweat by the way.

"Oh, I'll take a look at it, and you'll be fine. Yu Qingquan smiled, she just looked at it first, and if she saw something good, she would consider buying some.

"Okay, you take your time, say what you like, the price is negotiable!" After speaking, the iron man swung the sledgehammer again.

There are a lot of weapons on this stall, there are seven or eight knives alone, there are horse sabers, mountain knives, machetes, Tang knives, and even a rare Miao knife, seeing so many kinds of knives, Yu Qingquan can't help but think of Yang Nan's big kitchen knife again, I don't know if he still carries it with him now.

Yu Qingquan, who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, is of course very interested in these weapons, so she took a closer look at the weapons, in addition to those big weapons, what she was most interested in was the rows of slender and long swords on the other side. There are long swords, short swords, two-handed swords, three-foot swords, five-foot swords, and seven-foot swords, cross short swords, sleeve swords, and seven-star swords.

Yu Qingquan was ecstatic, and randomly picked up a meridian mandarin duck sword. This sword is a type of double sword. The sword is three feet long, the sword body is flat, the lower part is one and a half inches wide, the upper part is eight inches wide, the two sides of the sword body are pointed swords that are inclined upward, the muddy body is like a saw blade, the tip of the two swords is in different forms, one is a semi-circular ring, such as a crescent moon, and the tip of the crescent moon is outward; although the other is also crescent-shaped, but there is a prominent spear-like spear head in the middle of it, the sword handle is flattened, the upper cloth belt is tied up, there is a disc iron gauntlet on the sword handle, there is a crescent-shaped gauntlet on one side of the sword handle, it is thin and sharp, there are double-prismatic spear thorns at the end of the sword handle, this instrument has blades on all sides, it is very sharp. If this sword is exchanged with people, the mother sword will contain the opponent, and the sub-sword will wait for the opportunity to move, and the length will be staggered, and there will be many changes.

Putting down the son-mother sword, Yu Qingquan picked up another Yilong sword, Yilong sword, the sword body has a dragon-shaped pattern, hence the name. There is no sword spike on the hilt, and the main striking methods of its swordsmanship routines are splitting, stabbing, piercing, teasing, pointing, collapsing, hitting, intercepting, wiping, etc. Yu Qingquan swung his sword and tried it a few times, and the sword led the wind.

"How's it going?" asked the blacksmith again.

"Oh," Yu Qingquan was immersed in the world of swords, and was interrupted by the blacksmith like this, and instantly came back to his senses, "Shopkeeper, your sword is good, but the green steel sword in my hand is better." ”

"Oh, can you show me?" the blacksmith was a little unconvinced, your son looked at my sword for a long time, and finally said that the sword in his hand was good, isn't this a smashing field!

Yu Qingquan handed over his green steel sword, and the blacksmith still took it with both hands very politely, although he didn't like Yu Qingquan very much, but he was always respectful to the sword.

The blacksmith took the green steel sword, gently pulled it open, and put it in front of his eyes to examine it carefully, and the magic put on ordinary people did not look at the sword, but as if they were looking at rare treasures.

"Huh?" the blacksmith asked, looking at him.

"What's wrong?" asked Yu Qingquan.

"Childe, where did you get this green steel sword?" asked the blacksmith excitedly.

"Oh, this is what my father gave me. Yu Qingquan replied truthfully. This is when I was a child with my sister-in-law to learn the sword, at first I used a wooden sword, but when I was fourteen years old, my father came back one day and gave this sword to himself.

"That's ......," the blacksmith muttered.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Yu Qingquan.

"Oh, this sword was forged by my uncle!" said the blacksmith.

"Why do you think so?" asked Yu Qingquan.

"Childe, you see, the sword body is close to the hilt of the sword, there is a small engraved 'spring' word, this is the characteristics of my uncle's sword-casting, my uncle's name is Wang Quan, he did not cast many swords in his life, only five years to produce one, each handle has such a 'spring' word. The blacksmith explained.

"Ah, so that's the case, I thought my father deliberately ordered someone to beat me because of my name!" Yu Qingquan couldn't help but think in his heart, fortunately he hadn't told anyone else, otherwise he would have died of shame.
