Lan Ruo came out with a smile, walked up to me, and said to me: "Uncle Bai has already agreed, saying that since you are a guest of the Situ family, you are a guest of the whole Dong Chuan, you only need what you need, and all the smelting equipment and tools here can be used at will, but there is one condition. ”

"You say." I stood up.

Lan Ruo said: "After your magic weapon is ready, it will be inspected by Uncle Bai to ensure that there is no filthy method attached to it, and take it out to harm people." ”

I asked, "What is filth?" ”

Lan Ruo said: "It is poison, or the qi of the yin corpse used by Puxian's people, in short, if you are open in your heart and do not use some crooked evil arts, the magic weapon refined will definitely have an aura, which cannot deceive people, if there is evil energy, that person and artifact cannot go out of this door." ”

I thought about it carefully, all I wanted to do was a short blade, and I couldn't go wrong, so I nodded and responded: "This is natural, you are willing to borrow our premises and tools and materials, and we should also be responsible for your reputation and safety. ”

Lan Ruo's smile deepened, and he turned to a door behind him and said, "Look, Uncle Bai, I'll just say that they are good people, so you can rest assured." ”

I looked behind her, and when I came in through the door, all the doors in the house had no thresholds, and the wooden door opened, and when I saw the old gentleman in a wheelchair inside, I understood why I had made such a design.

Bai Zhong looked to be sixty or seventy years old, his face was not wrinkled, but his hair was all white, he looked energetic, his legs were covered with a thin blanket, which covered the bottom of the wheelchair foot, there was an obvious depression in the thigh area, and then the lower end was soft, and the hands on both sides of the wheelchair were very rough, and it looked like the result of years of hard work.

"If you want to use a tool, come with me." He spoke, his tone pale and undulating, and turned his wheelchair out of the hall, past the courtyard, and stopped in front of a locked side courtyard door, "Right here." ”

Lan Ruo attached himself to him, took the keys from his hand, untied one of them from the ring, and handed it to me, "Sister Shen, give it." ”

I was stunned, "This ...... No need to give me the keys......"

Before I finished speaking, Lan Ruo whispered: "Uncle Bai needs to rest, it's inconvenient to open the door for you every day, just take it, and return it after you use it." ”

I hesitated, took it, and heard Bai Zhong say: "The contents are inside, after five o'clock in the morning, before nine o'clock in the evening, you can use them as you like, as long as you give me a list after you finish it." ”

I pinched the small key, and I felt complicated when I was trusted, and I was grateful, and I bowed deeply in the face of him, and said, "Thank you, sir, we will definitely abide by the rules and will never live up to your trust." ”

He didn't respond, and after saying this, he pulled down a small mechanism in his wheelchair and turned back into the hall.

I looked back and saw that the blanket was empty from the place where it was not covered, and even the trousers were pulled up, but something was put on the stumps of my legs to support it, so that the thin blanket would not collapse badly, and it looked more decent.

Lan Ruo asked me to open the door and go into the side yard to have a look, I opened the lock as I said, the dew was very heavy, and the lock felt wet to the touch, as if it was soaked in a layer of mist.

"Okay, when you enter here, there is no mechanism like the outside, you can move around here freely, and use whatever you want." Lan Ruo smiled at me.

"Thank you." I raised the corners of my mouth, smiled uncontrollably, and asked her, "Mr. Bai, is his leg also injured by the evil way?" ”

"No, it's not." Lan Ruo said: "Uncle Bai's legs are born, it seems to be atrophied, I don't know the name, both legs were amputated when he was very young. ”

"Don't underestimate Uncle Bai just because he's in a wheelchair." Lan Ruo said: "I heard Brother Yu say, since he was seven years old, he has been building magic weapons for his father for the Situ family, and he has also discussed with the master the way of refining weapons and making puppets, until now, Dong Chuan's defense network, many mechanisms are also designed and supervised by Uncle Bai, if there are no those things, I am afraid that the evil way would have rushed into Dong Chuan with people to kill, and now Dong Chuan can still maintain a stability, half of the credit is due to the two young masters and everyone who has contributed to it, and the other half is Uncle Bai's." ”

"It's too late to admire, how can I underestimate Mr."

Lan Ruo smiled again, seemed to be satisfied with this answer, showed me the direction, and walked around the side yard.

After this trip, I sighed that I had forgotten even the initial fright, and there were too many materials that I had only heard of but had never seen. I was dazzled by those things, there were too many ideas in my head, and they were overturned and replaced in an instant, and when I saw the refining furnace, my hands began to itch, and I couldn't wait to start doing it immediately, but I hadn't drawn the drawings yet, and I didn't know where to start, and I had to ask Ziwei's opinion again, after all, in the end, he had to use it well.

When I left Bai Zhong's residence that day, I thought that since there were such conditions, it would be better to take this opportunity to make something for Tang Jiao and Jiang Xun to defend themselves, especially Tang Jiao, he is just an ordinary person, he has never practiced any magic, it is especially dangerous to follow us, and he needs to have an object that can protect his body at a critical moment, and when he is done, he will give the list to the old man, and then pay him the money according to the market value of the material, which should be possible.

On the way back, my spirit was no longer tense, and I quietly observed all the way, only to find some inconspicuous holes and cracks in the brick cracks on the walls on both sides, and it is no wonder that I had such a sense of oppression and fear when I came.

When I returned to the round building, it was not early, Zi Weizheng was sitting alone on the stone platform under the plane tree waiting for me, his face was much worse than when I left, and when he saw me coming back, he immediately stood up, followed him and said urgently: "Master, what's the matter with the blood on your collar?" What happened? ”

I opened my mouth, but before I could speak, Ziwei pulled me over, "Let me see, I still have medicine in my bag." ”

"Don't be nervous." I said, "A little skin trauma, just an accident." ”

I didn't want to tell him in detail, but I just thought about what happened between us, and I still didn't hide this little thing, and when he forced me back upstairs to bandage, I told him the experience of Bai Zhong as it was.

Lan Ruo said sorry to me on the side, and said, "It's also because I didn't make it clear to you in advance, so you have such a heavy sense of vigilance, this matter is something I didn't think through, Sister Shen, I'm sorry." ”

Ziwei listened silently to the two of us, and after a while, he called me and said, "Master, actually, I don't need any magic weapons, you don't have to bother. ”

"The road in the future is unpredictable, so you shouldn't worry too much about this kind of thing." I said, "Besides, you are my dearest person, and I am helping you and myself." ”

Hearing this, Ziwei raised his eyes to look at me, didn't know what to think, and nodded.

I smiled at him slightly, relieved by the relaxation of the relationship, and when I turned my eyes, I saw that Lan Ruo on the side had also been looking at him, with a curious and appreciative gaze, and the corners of his mouth always had a happy smile.

After coming back to her senses, Lan Ruo seemed to have asked me a few words before, and her mind moved, and she seemed to understand something deeper from her gaze, and she couldn't guess it really.

The wedding in Muzhang County was just an absurd joke, but before Kezi reached this age, it was also the time to be emotional.

That day I looked at him with a man's eyes, not a boy's eyes, and for the first time in so many years, I also noticed the attraction that belonged to adults in him, and the face full of thoughts was a little indifferent because of a little depression, and in the glance with him, there was a sense of wanting to hear him say many, many words, and participate in the first half of his life in a firm bond.

If he was born in an ordinary family, he should be a little sunnier and liked by many girls.

But now......

I still couldn't help it, and after Lan Ruo left, I raised my hand and rubbed his hair like I did when I was a child. Ziwei didn't say anything, but in the evening, I took the prepared things and explained to Tang Jiao, and asked him to continue to stay in the room, and when I was about to go alone to pick up Jiang Xun's broken arm, I just left the door and saw that Ziwei was already waiting outside.

"Master." When he stopped talking, I smiled and didn't want to think about anything, and said to him, "Let's go." ”

I gave him some of the charms I had drawn before going out and the glutinous rice that I had put in the bag, and in the afternoon I took a few small pieces of peach wood from Bai Zhong, and after drawing the charms, I asked him to put a piece in the pocket of his jacket.

The night of Dongchuan is so quiet that even insects and birds will not scream, the door is closed and locked early, and the breathing of people who fall asleep is also slow, and the autumn night is lonely, walking outside, chewing out a taste of cold, soaking through clothes, and the pores of the whole body are shrinking.

"Lan Ruo said that both sides of the ravine have their own defense nets, so we may encounter some hidden weapons, we must be careful, no matter what happens, protect ourselves first."

Ziwei hummed, and after approaching, we found a place to hide, and by the moonlight, we could see the wide ravine in the distance, the light was too dim, and we couldn't see what was lying in front of us.

"I'll go check it out first." Zi did not say.

I shook my head, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over, the stone fell into the grass, without the slightest reaction, and replaced it with a larger and more volumetric one, the moment the stone landed, it really caused a movement, and the short arrows shot out of nowhere were shot in unison, and if there was a person standing there, the position where he was shot should be his inner shoulders and lower abdomen.

I picked up a second stone and threw it over, different from the nature of the thousand ice ropes on the opposite side, which only had one time, and the same short arrow shot out again and again, nailed to the ground.
