Interlude

Xiao Xiang is like an initiation at this moment, and he has just woken up from a big dream. Oh, yes! No matter how much the scholars belittled the craftsmen, which of the objects they used every day was made by their own hands. Is this the so-called saying no, but the body is still very honest?

Indeed, it's not too out of the ordinary to like tinkering with these things, compared to those sons who have been raised, going out to walk eagles and birds all day long, visiting green buildings or something, like this, it's really not something worth criticizing

So, since you think there's nothing wrong with doing this, you can't always put it in the dark, you have to do it generously, above board, and you can't be frightened all day long, otherwise sooner or later one day you will have heart palpitations and die, he doesn't want to die so early, otherwise no one will play with the old man on stage, and he won't have to die of boredom? Thinking of this, Xiao Xiang couldn't help but secretly "puff" in his heart

So how can he make his old man accept it happily? You have to think about it. As far as the previous one was concerned, Xiao Xiang didn't dare to mention it or didn't want to mention it. It's that he didn't think about it himself, or rather, in fact, he knows in his heart that it's not honorable to do this. And now, the words of the judge woke him up, he accepted, understood, and understood the difficulties of the craftsmen, it turned out that it was not how unbearable they were, and this profession was not as unstraightforward as outsiders thought

Thinking of this, he became interested again, thinking about talking to the judge about his treasures. So, Xiao Xiang sat in a different posture again. It turned out that he was leaning on the bamboo and wood with his back on his head, looking up at the roof, and letting go of it there! Now, turning sideways and facing the judge, he began to spit at him with his eyebrows fluttering. What's going on, what's going on, what's going on, anyway, when it comes to this, he's energetic, and the whole person is very excited

In the end, it was his mouth that was dry, so he stopped and picked up the teacup, like a cow chewing a peony, and dried the cup of tea, which was not enough. snatched the teacup from the judge's hand again, and ate it dry, so it was counted. "You... You" The judge was a little crying and laughing by him, this person is too mischievous, no wonder he got the nickname of the little bully

"Having said so much, I still have to see the real thing after all" The judge glanced at Xiao Xiang. Seeing this, Xiao Xiang began to grope around his body, and then pulled into the sleeves of his hands, and then patted his waist and grabbed a dagger-like device out. Holding the coffee table with one hand, half of his body was in the air, holding the sharp weapon in front of the judge's eyes. And the interrogator only saw a cold light pass by, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to hear the sound of it cutting through the air

"Good knife" did not hesitate, and opened his eyes to say these two words. And the knife has been taken into Xiao Xiang's arms at the moment, and the judge still wants to take a look at it again, so he doesn't feel a little itchy. Before he could speak, Xiao Xiang laughed first, "Brother Bijian, you have excellent vision" He said, taking out the short knife from his arms, only to see that the blade was wrapped in a leather sheath. Xiao Xiang slowly pulled out the knife, only to see that the knife was wrapped with layers of patterns, which was not ordinary from ordinary daggers, and there was no blood groove, no wonder Xiao Xiang would praise the judgment and say 'good vision'

Besides, this short knife, that's Xiao Xiang's favorite, baby! On weekdays, he is not easy to show people, except for the cold stone who has been following him, even the old man of his family has never seen it. Juan Yan is the second person to see this knife and play with it in his hand. I saw the judge holding the handle of the knife in his right hand, and the index finger and middle finger of his left hand were close together, and he stroked the knife from the body, "How did this come about?" "The judgment is about the layers of patterns

"Oh! The iron taken from the deep mountains is tempered into steel, and then the two are mixed in a certain amount, forged at high temperatures, and then repeatedly folded and kneaded, and finally quenched, and the knife becomes "paused, and rubbed the leather scabbard, as if in memory." After a while, his voice was faint, as if coming from a distance: "I was overjoyed when I saw the lines of this knife, and immediately named it - Folding Flower Knife."

"Yuan Ming remembers his old friend?"

"Yes! was a little sad for a while, which made Brother Bijian smile, "Xiao Xiang is like this, that emotion always starts from nowhere, but it is surging, and the churning heart lake can't be calmed down." But fortunately, it comes quickly, and it goes quickly. The judge didn't say anything, just patted Xiao Yu's shoulder for comfort. Actually, this is not a side explanation, Xiao Xiang is a person who is in love, is it worthy of deep friendship, and the judge has a bottom in his heart

"Yu Pei is the craftsman who made this knife, and this knife can be regarded as his posthumous work. For this knife, he also worked hard, thinking all day long, just to make this knife more perfect. Now, the knife has been tempered a lot, and it has finally become it, but he is..."The judge didn't know how to persuade him, after all, he hadn't participated in Xiao Yan's past, and he couldn't empathize, but death was the most powerless, even if the pride was like the judgment, it was just deep helplessness and helplessness

"Brother Bijian, I know you can be trusted, so I won't hide it from you." Xiao Xiang first looked around, then leaned over the coffee table, beckoned to the judge, and motioned for the judge to come over. Only then did he step forward and said in a low voice: "Yupei is the descendant of the master master of the previous dynasty, and later the current dynasty was established, in order to avoid the disaster of war, he lived in seclusion in a certain countryside and field here. I was also injured by chance while hunting in the suburbs of the forest, and I was rescued by him, and later..."After going back and forth, the two became acquainted with each other, and often corresponded. To say that Yupei couldn't bear to bury this ancestral craft, in the end, it was still in the depths of this inaccessible bamboo forest, next to two simple thatched huts, a grass shed was built. On weekdays, I would fight some ordinary people's guys, and when it came to the day of the market, I would take these things down the mountain and come back in exchange for some food, cloth and so on

Over the years, he has been a man in the mountains, and he has no mother-in-law or a son and a half daughter by his side. I've been lonely for a long time, and I finally met Xiao Xiang, who I could talk to, and I thought that I was getting older, and the past was no longer so important. Therefore, in front of Xiao Xiang, he did not hide his perfect iron-making skills

If you want to say that Xiao Xiangqi is a little overlord who is not stingy, he also loves to dance with guns and sticks on weekdays, so there is no man who does not love weapons, and those swords, guns, swords and halberds that do not see the light of day on weekdays and sharpen iron like clay were taken out by Yu Pei

Xiao Xiang is not illiterate, looking at those weapons that are braving the cold light, the fanaticism in his eyes is also included in Yupei's eyes. **Seeing that he knows the goods, and he really likes it, let him pick a few of them and take them away. It's just the same, don't reveal the origin of the weapon. And this, but Xiao Xiang made it difficult, walked slowly in front of the rows of weapons, looked down at this, and reached out to carry this, it seemed that either one was good, and no one was willing to let go. picked and picked, and finally chose the second sword

This is also for a reason, Xiao Xiang urinates and can't be idle all day long, so he wants to go out for a walk. Xiao's mother took care of a large mess of the family, and she didn't care about him, so she only let the little girl follow Xiao Xiang and let him go, which made Xiao Xiang more and more free and unruly. Let's not mention this for the time being, just say why Xiao Xiao sneaked out? But I'm obsessed with listening to books, and I can't listen to it with relish, and I don't leave until the end of the day. What is my favorite thing to hear, it is the story of the Three Kingdoms period, who is the most favorite character, it is Cao Apu, who is "a capable minister in the world, and a traitor in troubled times"! is a character who likes this, that is, to understand the life of others thoroughly, knowing that he likes a ranger who is light on life and righteousness, and specially created two swords. One is called "Yitian", a "Qingyu"

Somehow, Xiao Xiang remembered this stubble, so he picked out two swords among the many weapons. He held one in his hand, and threw the other one to the cold stone, and the two tried it outside the hut, which was terrible, between the swords and swords, the two swords were like flying winds, and because they were both taught by a master, although the two of them were inseparable, they were comparable

At this time, Xiao Xiang suddenly attacked with a sword, jumped into the air, and slashed at Hanshi, who also hurriedly raised his sword to resist. Hearing only the sound of "bang", the swords of the two of them collided, and the hands holding the swords were trembling, but no one let anyone

Yu Pei still stood up, "I said, it's been more than half a day, and the winner hasn't been decided yet, so it's better to rest for a while!" Come on, come on! Come and have tea."

"Okay, then rest for a while and then fight" Hanshi heard his son-in-law's instructions, so naturally he had no objections, so the two of them sat down, panted, and drank the tea prepared by Yupei. Xiao Xiang listened as he carefully examined the sword in his hand

"Hey, why does it look like a curling blade?" Xiao Xiang was afraid that he was dazzled, and muttered in a low voice. He picked up the sword again, stepped forward, looked carefully at the gap, and touched it with his hand. yes, it's really curly. As for Xiao Xiang's straightforward temperament, he didn't shy away from it, and told Yupei directly to his face, and Yupei is also upright, so he won't be unable to erase his face, so he took it directly and checked it carefully

It turned out that the sword had been stored for many years, and Yu Pei couldn't help it, so he promised to build a sword that didn't roll for Xiao Xiang with his own hands. And Xiao Xiang thought that the sword was not as easy to carry as the dagger, so he asked Yu Pei to create an extremely sharp dagger and gave it to him

Yupei promised to promise quickly, but this is really difficult to do. Without him, this "how can I keep the sword from curling" really stumped the descendants of this master craftsman. You must know that from ancient times to the present, the swords that have been on the battlefield have not been intact after the baptism of beacon fire. Therefore, after a battle, you have to check the weapons, polish and polish the ones with small gaps, and then you can charge into battle with them, and if you have a big gap, you can only collect them and return them to the furnace to re-forge

It's no wonder that even Yu Pei, an experienced old blacksmith, made a difficulty! However, it is precisely because of this that Yupei plunged into it, and after repeated attempts, he finally forged a folding waist knife that did not hurt the blade
