Chapter 98: Fight a Tang knife
The iron shop was deserted, and only one junior apprentice was accompanying the two guests to choose weapons, Xu Zizhen was about to speak, but the two turned their heads, but it was Qian Tongzhi and Li Meng.
Xu Zizhen couldn't help laughing and said, "Old Qian, why are you here?" ”
Before Qian Tongzhi could speak, Li Meng had already pouted and said, "Uncle, my gun is blunt, Uncle Qian said that the gun here is good, take me to change it." As he spoke, he took out a spear head from his bosom, and the sharp edge had become a rounded corner at this time, apparently because the equipment of the Tangut people was too hard.
Xu Zizhen suddenly felt a little ashamed, it stands to reason that Li Meng's affairs should be taken care of by him, but since he flirted with Wen Xian yesterday, he seemed to have forgotten about him, he pulled Li Meng over, rubbed his head a few times, and said with a smile: "Don't beat your Uncle Qian's autumn wind, I'll get this shot for you." ”
He was just about to go to the soup shopkeeper, but he saw that the soup shopkeeper happened to come out from behind the shop, his face was quite haggard, and his hair was messy into a chicken coop, as if he hadn't slept all night.
Shopkeeper Tang saw Xu Zizhen at a glance and nodded at him: "Coming?" Just right, what you're going to do is done. ”
Xu Zizhen was taken aback: "So fast? Didn't you say two days? ”
The shopkeeper glanced at him: "I'm in a hurry, I tried to make one before I slept last night, you come with me to take a look, I don't know if it's to your liking." ”
Xu Zizhen grabbed him: "Wait a minute, shopkeeper Tang, I still have a job here to trouble you." After speaking, Li Meng brought the meteorite in, "You have a smelting furnace here, right?" Can you turn this thing into a knife? ”
Shopkeeper Tang's eyes suddenly widened at a glance, and his dark face finally moved, and he said in surprise: "This ...... Isn't this the extraterrestrial flying star? How did you move here? ”
Xu Zizhen smiled: "I asked Lord Wen for it, you can see if you can practice it first." ”
The shopkeeper Tang took the meteorite from Li Meng's hand without saying a word, turned around and went to the backyard, Xu Zizhen was not in a hurry to follow, but pulled Qian Tongzhi and whispered a few words, and then took Wen Xian and Li Meng into the backyard quickly.
Behind the shop is a spacious patio with a bamboo shed under which a large stove with a wide mouth and a round belly and two huge bellows beside it.
The shopkeeper Tang took an iron drill and inserted it into the meteorite, but he only heard a muffled sound, and the tip of the iron drill suddenly bent down, and the surface of the meteorite was just a white spot, not even broken, he was surprised: "Good hardness!" This star should be ironic, not like ordinary iron. ”
Xu Zizhen only cared about one thing: "Can you refine?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at him: "There is nothing that can never be refined in my shop, you tell me what you want to fight first?" ”
Xu Zizhen thought for a while and took out Li Meng's gun: "Shoot a gun like this, and then a knife." ”
Shopkeeper Tang walked around the meteorite a few times, as if calculating something, and said for a long time: "If you shoot a gun, I'm afraid you won't be able to turn it into a knife again." ”
Xu Zizhen frowned: "What do you mean?" Inadequate? ”
The soup shopkeeper said: "Exactly." ”
Xu Zizhen pondered for a moment and asked, "Then what if I hit a horizontal knife?" Is it enough? ”
The horizontal knife is a kind of Tang knife, that is, the common Japanese knife in later generations, the long-handled small sword body is narrow, and it was once popular, but nowadays the martial artists rarely use it anymore, and the Tang shopkeeper glanced at him: "That's enough." ”
Xu Zizhen nodded: "Then fight like this." ”
He already had a plan in his heart, if that meteorite could refine rare metals, then Li Meng's spear would be decided, and the rest would be a horizontal knife, although he also knew very well that this knife was too thin and might not be suitable for use in battle formations, but the chaotic cloak knife technique was a fast word, maybe using this knife could exert a faster speed.
After the meteorite was finished, a strange color appeared on the face of the shopkeeper Tang, and he took out a cloth bag from the side, and opened it to see that it was a bronze fire gun nearly two feet long, the gun tube was about thicker than a finger, and the mouth was made into a tea cup shape, which is commonly known as a bell mouth, and a small hole was made at the end of the mouth, I don't know what to do.
Xu Zizhen's eyes lit up when he saw this thing, and he took it and stroked it gently, looking like he couldn't put it down, and the shopkeeper Tang looked at the fire gun with his eyes and asked, "Xu Zhuangshi, what is this thing for?" I wonder if you can demonstrate it? ”
Li Meng and Wen Xian were also curious, looking at Xu Zizhen expectantly, but Xu Zizhen just sold Guanzi, smiled without saying a word, and did not move his hands, just walked around the patio with his hands behind his back, looking at all kinds of smelting tools.
After about half an hour, Qian Tongzhi returned to the shop, holding a bag in his hand, Xu Zizhen smiled: "This is down." As he spoke, he took the bag, and as soon as he opened it, a strong pungent smell came out, it was Xu Zizhen who had just told him to go and close the gunpowder that Meng Du wanted.
There are many small iron marbles in the iron shop, Xu Zizhen picked and chose one, tried it just enough to put it into the gun, almost completely matched, he shook some gunpowder into the gun, pounded it with an iron drill, and then buried a fuse in it, and put the iron marbles in the last time.
He smiled and picked up the firearm and was about to show it to a few people, when his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at the corner of the patio, where I don't know when a person appeared in the road, tall and thin wearing a black scarf, looking at Wen Xian with his hands behind his back.
Xu Zizhen's pupils contracted violently, the road was narrow, this person was the man in black who tried to rob Li Luoyan in the small temple that day and killed Li Sheng, he was in his heart, drew a knife across his chest, gritted his teeth and said: "It's you again!" ”
The man in black obviously didn't expect to see Xu Zizhen here, the fast knife that day left a deep impression on him, more than a dozen of his subordinates died in the hands of this young man who seemed to be white and clean, he couldn't help but smile when he was stunned: "Little brother, I didn't expect you and I to meet again." ”
Xu Zizhen suddenly felt that something was wrong, this man in black was chasing Li Luoyan, and Li Luoyan seemed to have some unclear relationship with Xixia, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he quickly pulled Wen Xian behind him to protect him, and sneered: "I'm afraid you're not coming for me, right?" ”
The man in black smiled and said, "You are smart, yes, I came to invite Miss Wen to come over as a guest." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Xian suddenly woke up, but she didn't feel panicked at all, standing under Xu Zizhen's generous back, she only felt extremely safe, and only said lightly: "You are the one of the three peerless halls?" ”
The man in black was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Miss Wen really has good eyesight, look down, it's better for you to go with me quickly, lest your lover die on the spot." ”
Li Meng had already touched a stick in his hand, his small eyes widened, and he asked, "Uncle, who is this person?" ”
Xu Zizhen gritted his teeth and said word by word: "He is the bastard who killed your father!" ”
