Ji Zigong wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, his face was distorted and he almost couldn't help laughing with internal injuries, under the gaze of Xia Kucao, he had to lean into Xia Kucao's ear and said:

"It's a weapon, but it's useless to you, it's a weapon designed to conquer the hind, you know?"

Xia Kucao's eyes turned around, and when she understood, she instantly blushed, glared at the roadside boss, stepped on Ji Zigong's feet again, and left the stall angrily.

What the damn boss asks with a deer whip?

Himeko grinned painfully and jumped on the spot again, and saw Xia Kucao's angry back, and laughed.

Walking further and finally met a blacksmith shop, Xia Kucao couldn't wait to enter, and when she crossed the threshold, she was a little hesitant, Ji Zigong followed behind her and said as if she understood:

"Scared, no, even if what you said about subduing demons and eliminating demons is true, then I can't believe that it can play its real role in your hands. ”

Xia Kucao stomped his feet and walked in, there was only one old man inside, he was holding an inch of iron in his hand, and he was knocking on and out.

Xia Kucao stood in front of him, he didn't notice it, he still practiced hard, extremely dedicated, Xia Kucao looked around, there was only one person in the hall.

Xia Kucao wanted to stop the old man and felt that it disturbed him, so he simply stood aside and watched, thinking that he would be able to see her later, and it was not an interruption.

But after waiting for half a pillar of incense, Xia Kucao became interested in ironmaking, and he didn't feel bored when he looked at it like this, but he didn't understand what the ring in the old man's hand was.

Ji Zigong didn't mean to interfere on the side, he sat on the chair in the room with a big grin, leisurely sipping the tea on the table, Xia Kucao caught a glimpse of him with his spare eyes, and said in his heart that he was really big-hearted, and he dared to drink the things here.

Who knows what kind of water it is, and if she charms her, she doesn't care about him.

Just thinking about it, the old man finally looked up at the summer dry grass and said, "There is no poison in my water!"

Xia Kucao was stunned for a moment, covered her mouth in surprise, and immediately understood that she didn't speak just now, why did the old man answer what she was confused?

Faced with Prunella's question, the old man didn't mean to answer, he picked up the iron ring and looked at it and sighed: "No matter how much I smelt, I can't make it, it seems that I really have nothing to do with it." ”

"Excuse me. Xia Kucao opened her mouth cautiously, and after such a moment, she estimated that this old man was not an ordinary person.

"What are you trying to build?"

Ji Zigong also stood up, a little interested, the old man looked at the iron ring and pondered for a while before saying: "This is what I picked up in the mountains a few days ago, strange to say, I have been to that hole many times, I have never found such a stone on the wall, that day I sat down to rest, this stone suddenly fell from the sky and smashed at my feet."

I also picked up this life, and if this stone was smashed a little more, it would leave me in the hole, and I was not convinced and brought it back, wanting to smash it to relieve my anger, but I never thought that the stone would break open and jump out of such an iron ring.

So, this aroused the fighting spirit in my heart, and I kept smelting this iron ring day and night to smash it open, but you have also seen it, it has been many days, and it has not moved at all, it is not deflated or broken, but just now, it has become very hot, and I want to throw it away, don't believe it, you take it and try it?"

After the old man finished speaking, he handed the iron ring to Xia Kucao, the moment Xia Kucao took it, the iron ring seemed to move, Xia Kucao looked at it again, the iron ring honestly stayed in her hands, maybe she was dazzled, it was just an iron ring.

But Xia Kucao checked it and felt that it was not as hot as the old man said, but she was embarrassed to refute, as if it was dismantling, so she silently handed over the iron ring to Ji Zigong, Ji Zigong just took it, suddenly wow wow yelled, and as soon as she let go, the iron ring fell to the ground and banged.

"What are you doing?" Xia Kucao looked at Ji Zigong's distorted face and high-speed shaking hands, not knowing why.

Ji Zigong was also stunned, he watched Xia Kucao bend down to pick up the iron ring and pinch it in his hand and ask him leisurely, as if he didn't feel anything at all, he stammered and asked, "You...... Don't you think it's hot?"

Xia Kucao glanced at Tiehuan and then at Ji Zigong and said, "No, why don't I think." ”

"Hahahaha......" The old man next to him suddenly laughed, he touched his beard and said, "It seems that you are very destined for it, what are you doing here with a girl's family?"

"Oh, I can't hide it, I actually want to find a more suitable weapon, so that it will be convenient to explore the rivers and lakes in the future. "Prunella doesn't hide anything from it.

The old man nodded: "Very good, very good, this thing belongs to you, you are not afraid of fire, thousands of hammers are continuous, and the practice remains the same, this is a good self-defense weapon."

Moreover, you are a woman, it is not suitable to carry too sharp weapons, this one can be said to be more suitable, blocking the sword and warding off evil spirits, according to my observation, this piece of iron is mostly gilded iron, the legendary gilt iron is a magic weapon to ward off evil spirits, with this, walking at night, demons and monsters are not allowed to get close. ”

Xia Kucao looked at this piece of iron and sneered, and after laughing, he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "No, no, I'm sorry, I smiled when my face was a little itchy, don't you mind!"

"If you like to listen or not, if you don't listen to it, I've told you my guess, if you agree, just put a silver ingot on the table. The old man finished speaking in a very unkind tone, turned his head and walked into the back room through the curtain in the corner.

Xia Kucao stood in place embarrassed, Ji Zigong looked at his attitude towards Xia Kucao, felt a little annoyed, and said leisurely: "Such a strange old man, it is guaranteed to be fake, fooling people, taking a broken iron ring and trying to cheat money, ignore him, let's go, there is more than one blacksmith shop!"

Xia Kucao smacked his lips and glanced at the iron ring, whether it was true or not, the old man was a lot older, and it was not easy for him to do business in the middle of the night.

So he put down a piece of gold and said, "Thank you boss for your kindness, I took the iron ring away, and the money was placed on the table." ”

After saying that, he went out of the door, put the iron ring in his arms, the ghost market broke up unhappily, and then went to a few blacksmith shops, all said that there was no such artifact that could subdue demons and monsters, only one boss had a nose and eyes and pointed out that Xia Kucao went to find the second blacksmith shop on the head, saying that the old man was well-informed and mysterious, and had a strange temper, maybe he had.

Isn't that the place where she got the iron ring, alas, Xia Kucao couldn't help sighing, the strange temper is true, and the treasure is estimated to be fake, it seems that this trip has been in vain!

Standing in the gloomy dark doorway out of the ghost city, it felt like an illusion, but the iron ring in his bosom told the summer grass that it was all real.

"How are we going back?" asked Prunella in the dark.
