Chapter 571: Luoxia City is not simple
Gentlemen love swords, this is the Spring and Autumn Period and even earlier, there is a tradition, which can represent a person's etiquette and cultivation from the side, and even more so in the Han Dynasty, almost some people with status will be equipped with a sword, even Guo Jia, Shi Tao, the two powerless guys, will also hang a sword around their waists, of course, for them, the sword is more of a decorative meaning.
For those who admire swordsmanship, the significance of the sword is even greater, and it has almost become an inseparable companion.
Shi A is such a person, the sword equipment, the utensils will eventually be damaged one day, the more you use it, the faster it will break, so maintenance is an extremely important job, for Shi A, who loves swords like his life, every time he goes to a place, the first thing he will go to is the blacksmith shop, to see how the other party's skills are, if the skills are exquisite, then he will ask the other party to help him maintain his sword.
Then Luoxia City, the owner of the city is a top swordsmanship master, and the blacksmith shop in the city is naturally a must-go place for Shi A.
There are many blacksmith shops in Luoxia City, most of which are doing brisk business, but the most famous one is the Hu blacksmith shop that Changtian himself also patronizes.
Hu's blacksmith shop is the earliest blacksmith shop in Luoxia City, when Luoxia was still a village, it has settled here, Hu blacksmith itself is exquisite, and the performance of the things created is very excellent, coupled with the golden finger of Changtian, the ability instantly rose a step, and the things made are famous far and wide.
However, it is a pity for ordinary people that after the Hu blacksmith shop became the largest shop in Luoxia City, Hu Blacksmith did not make a move easily, and only important people in Luoxia City, such as the main officials in Luoxia City, or those celebrities in the academy, could let Hu Blacksmith make a move.
Of course, there are always exceptions, such as the next one.
"Guest, what are you going to do? Knives, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks here in our store can be built, and the weapons cast, each piece of treasure, is more profitable than what you have seen outside. "The man in the blacksmith shop who specializes in entertaining customers immediately greeted him with a smile when he saw someone coming to the shop.
"It's not a small tone, but I don't know what I'm capable of." Shi Ah laughed.
"It's a small truth, I don't believe you can see it for yourself." The guy is a shrewd man, and when he saw that the other party was extraordinary, he immediately stretched out his hand and bowed down to welcome Shi A into the store.
Shi Ah walked into the inner hall and looked at the dazzling array of goods, most of these are weapons created by blacksmith apprentices, which are sharp weapons for ordinary people, but they are still a lot worse for Shi A.
"These goods, dare to call them babies?" Shi Ah picked up an iron sword, looked at it, checked it, and put it down casually without trying how sharp it was.
"Hey, you are always a person who knows the goods, these are just sold to ordinary people, naturally they can't get into your eyes, I'll take you to see good things." The man's brain moved quickly, he saw Shi A's posture and aura of testing the sword, and he knew that he was a real powerful person, this kind of sword test was like a light look, the guy had only seen it in the city lord's right-hand man, the famous General Zhao, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took Shi A, and then entered the inner layer.
The guy directly skipped the things built by the real disciples of Blacksmith Hu, and took Shi Ah to the inner layer, where the number of weapons was the least, but it was the most precious, because they were all made by Blacksmith Hu himself.
Shi Ah stopped talking, and walked quickly towards a sword, he didn't wait for the guy to stop him, he directly grabbed the sword and observed it carefully.
After a long time, Shi Ah sighed: "Good sword! ”
"I've traveled all over Kyushu, and I've never seen such a good sword, I'm afraid it's not much better than Juque and Zhanlu!" Shi Ah Lian exclaimed loudly.
The guy is also very proud on the side.
"Who forged this sword?" Shi A hurriedly asked.
"It's the master here, Blacksmith Hu." The young man said proudly.
"Take me to see me." Shi Ah nodded and urged.
"Guest officer, my master, is casting for your guests, so it's inconvenient to disturb." The guy said politely, but he refused decisively.
"That's right, Shi knows how to be polite, how can he bother, but if you want to watch it, the shopkeeper is just a stunt." Shi Ah waved his hand.
"My shopkeeper has a saying, there are only three types of people who can enter the owner's room and ask him to help, the first is the civil and military of Luoxia City, the second is a famous scholar of Luoxia Academy, and the third is a person with a treasure." The guy smiled and said politely.
"Hmph, I don't want your shopkeeper to be attached to the powerful." Shi Ah said unpleasantly.
"This store is under the protection of the right general of the current dynasty, so it is in such a situation, a right general, what's wrong?" The guy asked with a smile.
Shi A glanced at the other party and said coldly: "There is a sword in a certain place, do you dare to take it?" ”
"The guest officer is willing to give, and he will dare to take it next, please give him a sword." The guy said, and after speaking, he bowed slightly, under his head, and stretched his hands flat in front of Shi A.
"If you don't know the dog's eyes, and you can't tell why, you will take the dog's life." Shi A spoke coldly, untied the sword at his waist, and slowly placed it horizontally on his hands.
The guy took the sword very solemnly, slowly pulled out and began to observe carefully, although he was not as light as Shi A, but also had his own set of exclusive identification methods, and soon the guy put the sword back into the scabbard, held it to Shi Ah with both hands, and said: "This sword is made of deep-sea fine iron, weighing six catties and twelve taels, and it can cut gold and jade, and it is really a peerless sword." ”
"Hmph." Shi A took back the sword and snorted coldly, which was considered that the other party had passed the test.
"Objectively come with me, my shopkeeper is in the main room at the back of the hall." After the guy finished speaking, he stopped being verbose and led the way.
The guy was actually wiping the cold sweat on his head while walking, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, "This person is talented, he really wants to kill me!" ”
Shi Ah naturally doesn't know how to speak, if this guy really doesn't know the sword, then one of the other party's subordinates asks him to untie the sword, this is the way to die, he will kill the other party without saying a word.
Fortunately, Blacksmith Hu's buddies are of genuine level and have escaped this difficulty.
Shi Ah followed the man to the main room, heard the sound of clanging hammers, and then followed the man into the main room, Shi A, and saw the so-called distinguished guests, and what kind of weapon the blacksmith Hu was forging.
After Shi A saw it clearly, he couldn't help but have a strange face, he found that what blacksmith Hu was beating seemed to be a shower, which was purely for watering flowers, but unlike other showers, this shower was actually made of pure gold, Shi A couldn't help but want to see what kind of distinguished guest would use gold to make a shower.
Shi Ah looked left and right, but he didn't see a third person except the blacksmith, him and his buddy, but on the ground opposite the blacksmith, there was an ugly little black dog, looking at the shower in Blacksmith Hu's hand with anticipation.
"Could it be that the guest is this dog?" Shi Ah Xin said.
The next scene confirmed his thoughts, only to see the blacksmith Hu put the shower in his hand, finished the last process, looked at the shower in his hand with satisfaction, and then handed it to the little black dog on the opposite ground.
"Here you go, there are still a lot of leftovers, what do you want to do next time." Blacksmith Hu said.
"Woohoo." The little black dog bit the shower, looked proud, and ran out, even if those leftovers, you can still make a few showers, but what does that have to do with it, anyway, the gold is in the owner's treasury, there is a lot.
Blacksmith Hu was in the basin on the table on the side, after washing his face and wiping his sweat, Shi A really saw the other party's face clearly, at this moment Shi A's eyes flashed a fine light, and even the curiosity about the little black dog was thrown aside at this time.
"It turns out that the famous Ancient Moon Holy Hand actually lives in seclusion in this remote town." Shi Ah said coldly.
Blacksmith Hu didn't have any expression at all when he heard this, so he casually threw away the towel used to wipe his sweat, and then said lightly: "The guest officer has recognized the wrong person, a blacksmith, and this place is not a remote town as Jun said." ”
"Back then, he was like a murderer, but now he is a blacksmith." Shi Ah said again.
"In the next is a blacksmith, killing people like hemp, how can I say that, Luoxia's law, vainly saying that he is guilty, and hoping for self-discipline, can the guest officer have a weapon to fight? If not, please leave, there is something else to do. The blacksmith said lightly.
"If you are a blacksmith, help me raise my sword." Shi Ah stopped dwelling, took off his sword, and handed it to Blacksmith Hu.
"Well, it's a good sword, please sit down and wait for a while." Blacksmith Hu didn't look at Shi Ah either, took the sword and started to do maintenance work.
Shi A's eyes were like electricity, and he was around the blacksmith, scanning back and forth, but the other party was unaware, carefully maintaining Shi A's sword.
