Out of the city gate, Xiao'er hugged Bai Liang and looked at the roads that extend in all directions, and asked, "Master Grandpa, where are we going now?"

The dean pondered for a while, and said: "Let's go to Fengping Mountain, there is a town called Hetong, I remember that there is a blacksmith named Huang Ting, I also want to ask him, this piece of iron wood, what kind of weapons can he make, if there is any surplus, we will find it again." ”

"That blacksmith is very good, can't we just find a random blacksmith on the road and make weapons for Xiao'er. Xiao'er really wanted to get her weapon early, but she always used her hands, and Xiao'er's hands hurt. ”

"Whether it's great or not, I don't dare to say, but he is indeed the most skilled blacksmith I have ever seen, but the last time I saw him, it was forty years ago, and I don't know if he is still alive now. The dean pondered.

"Then there is no need for us to go, in case we go, everyone else is gone, and we won't run in vain. Smile muttered.

"I also understand, it's just Xiao'er, since grandpa wants to give you a weapon, naturally you have to find the best person to make it, only in this way can you create the most convenient one for Xiao'er. Do you just want something ordinary?" the dean advised.

"No, no, Xiao'er wants the best, Xiao'er wants the most suitable and powerful weapon for Xiao'er. said with a smile, then reached out and pulled the dean's trouser leg, and said eagerly: "Let's go, grandpa master, let's go quickly and find the one named Huang Ting." ”

When the dean saw Xiao'er like this, he also smiled, and led Xiao'er to the west. It's just that after the two of them walked for a long time, Xiao'er asked the master and grandfather, and said, "Grandpa, how long will it take to go there." ”

"It's close to the boundaries of the city, and if you ride a horse, it will take about a month. If we were walking like we are now, I think it would take half a year. ”

"Half a year? It's been too long, and when I got there, Xiao'er was four years old. Xiao'er misses her mother, Xiao'er misses her sister, and Xiao'er doesn't go. Xiao'er's temper turned again.

Seeing this, the dean teased, "Don't you want that weapon anymore?" ”

"Xiao'er thinks, Xiao'er wants weapons. Xiao'er stopped making a fuss, and hurriedly said, but after a while, he began to complain again: "It's all to blame on the master and grandpa, when I was in the general's mansion, Grandpa Zhuge said that you don't want to give us two horses, but now we have to spend half a year, and Xiao'er will have another half a year to get the weapon." ”

"Those are all war horses, you don't know the current situation of Beiliang City, you need a lot of military defense, how can I take their war horses at this time, grandpa. And laugh, have you forgotten that we can run, with your foot strength, it must not be slower than those war horses. ”

"This ......" Xiao'er thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, but he is still a little dissatisfied, he should have a mount, but the master and grandfather are to blame, no.

Seeing that Xiao'er was a little loose, the dean continued: "Of course, if Xiao'er is willing to run, Grandpa will not let you compete with Bai Liang again along the way." ”

"Really?" said with a smile. The previous battle with Bai Liang along the way made him suffer a big loss. Now Bai Liang has become smaller because of the water, but Xiao'er has also become smaller, and he is still only the height of a normal child of two or three years old. And Xiao'er knows that although the qi in her body has become more and purer, even her strength is much greater, and the overall increase is greater than Bai Liang's, but after all, Bai Liang didn't use all his strength to compete with himself before, and it also drank Tianyuan water, and its own skills have increased a lot, Xiao'er is unwilling, her new clothes, and because of the competition with Bai Liang, have become tattered, this body is much more expensive than the previous clothes, Xiao'er is distressed.

"Really, as long as you want. The dean said.

"Smile willingly, laughing willingly. Grandpa, let's run. Xiao'er said happily.

Seeing that Xiao'er finally agreed, the dean also succeeded in his plan, and said with a smile on his face: "Since you agree, it's best." But after all, it takes a month on the way to Xiao'er, and you don't exercise at all, don't you think it's a pity?"

"It's a pity, but Xiao'er is already running, and the master and grandfather also promised Xiao'er not to let Xiao'er compete with Bai Liang. Said with a smile.

"Running, there is also a training method for running. You can carry some weights and practice running with weights. This will not only exercise your strength, but also allow you to better practice how to use your qi for a long time. The dean continued to bewitch.

"But Xiao'er is already carrying her bags, so she can't carry some more stones, which will stain the new clothes that Grandpa Zhuge just gave to Xiao'er. Xiao'er said distressedly.

"It doesn't have to be. As the dean spoke, he took Bai Liang out of Xiao'er's arms, then sat on the ground, and said, "Xiao'er, can you lift me up." ”

"What are you doing lifting grandpa?" said Xiao'er, but she still walked up to the dean, and with the strength of her arms, she lifted the dean up and raised it above her head.

"Okay, now you run like this. The dean said.

"So, grandpa, you're so bad, Xiao'er is running, but you're sitting, you use Xiao'er as a mount, Xiao'er is not very happy. Said with a smile.

"See for yourself, whether to hold grandpa and me, or to run with that rock. The dean said, gesturing to a large rock not far away.

Xiao'er turned her eyes and saw that the stone was bigger than the table in her godmother's shop, and it looked like it was seven or eight hundred pounds. Thinking about it, the master and grandfather were lighter, and said, "I'll still hold on to my grandfather." ”

"Well, that's right. Now you can run with all your might. The dean said.

Xiao'er immediately ran with all her might, much faster than the horses. just kept chanting: "Dead grandpa, stinky grandpa, lied to laugh as your mount." I'll run faster, and I'll have to throw you off in a moment. He said so, but he grabbed the master and grandfather even harder in his hands, for fear of really falling the other party down. Xiao'er was also thinking about it in her heart, the Hecheng mentioned by the master and grandfather before, remembering the day she left Shenshi Village, her mother mentioned that the village chief said that Butcher Zhao had a cousin who was a deacon in the Nine Heavens Divine Sect in Hecheng, and if he wasn't afraid of him, the village chief would not have proposed that his mother leave with his sister and himself. If one day he really becomes a general, or he is already a famous martial artist, he will definitely go to Hecheng to see how powerful that deacon is.

Seeing that Xiao'er finally stopped chattering, the dean smiled, didn't speak, closed his eyes and recuperated. But Bai Liang was different at this time, he was held in the arms of the dean, and he was held up and run by Xiao'er, happy in his heart, and said secretly: "I have been ridden for decades, and today it is finally my turn to ride." Immediately roared in the dean's arms, which seemed to be urging Xiao'er to run faster, Xiao'er was furious, and wanted to get rid of them several times and throw them down, but in the end he didn't dare.

Running like this, on the westbound official road, it has also become a strange landscape. The pedestrians on the road, seeing such a scene, were greatly shocked by the divine power of the three-year-old child, and did not forget to condemn the shameless path of this man, and scolded all the way. Xiao'er was very satisfied when she heard these righteous words, so she ran slower, wanting to see if the master and grandfather could still sit under the condemnation of so many people. I just didn't want to, the master and grandfather didn't care about those curses, but found that the speed of laughter was slow, so he scolded: "Don't you have the strength, why are you running so slowly." ”

Although the dean was not heavy all the way, he continued to use his qi, which also made Xiao'er tired enough, and he finally understood how difficult this kind of exercise was. Even if you meditate overnight, you can't make up for the qi consumed during the day, but fortunately, every five days, Xiao'er always has to sleep well, and her spirit is still relatively sufficient. After running and practicing all the way, after more than 20 days, they finally came to Hetong Town.

Standing on the hillside, looking down, a small river leads directly to the town, and there are a lot of wooden wheels on the river, Xiao'er was surprised in her heart, and asked her grandfather: "Grandpa, is this Hetong Town?"

"Do you see that little river leading straight to the town? That's why it's called Hetong Town. As for the wheels, they were called waterwheels, and they flowed by the river, and the wooden shafts rotated, and the power was used to pull the boxes, beat them, and make iron tools on the utensils in the house. This town is also a famous refining town nearby, and there are many blacksmiths in the town. And the man we're looking for is one of the best in town. ”

"Oh, that's right. Xiao'er has never seen iron, and in Shenshi Village, my mother also uses a wooden rake for farming, that is, an axe for cutting wood, which was also brought by the village chief from another place and sold to us at a low price. Laughing, he was even more greedy for this iron-striking shop.

"Alright, let's go find someone. The dean said.

"Master, grandpa, you are about to enter the town, do you still have to laugh like this? Said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, grandpa, I don't care, just go in like this. Dean Tian said with a grim face.

Xiao'er nodded and walked towards the town, but kept muttering, "You don't care, but Xiao'er doesn't want others to say that Xiao'er is a mount." ”

When I entered the town, I smelled the smell of scorching fire, and there was a sound of "dong dong" in many homes.

"It's loud, it's too noisy in here, Grandpa. Xiao'er complained.

"It's true, it's just that so many shops are closed. I remember that when I came forty years ago, there were almost a few blacksmith shops here, and when I came back at this time, I even collected those flags. The dean was surprised, and then continued: "That's it, no matter how much, let's go look for it first and see if the old man named Huang Ting is still there?"

Xiao'er carried the dean to the town, and along the way, asked several families, but they didn't know where Huang Ting lived, but they looked at the old and young people, and they were also very strange, and after Xiao'er and the dean left, they despised the man riding the child behind their backs. Finally, I knocked on the door again, and when the people inside heard that they were looking for Zhong Ting, a white-haired lady walked out of the inner room, walked up to Xiao'er tremblingly, and said, "Are you looking for Huang Ting, Old Man Huang, who lived here a long time ago?"

"Official, old ......" The dean was about to talk about the old man, but thinking of his current appearance, he still changed his words and said: "I really want to find Old Man Huang." ”

"Old man Huang, he is a very good person and has high skills, I think when he was still alive, who would dare to come to our town to make trouble, but then he died, alas, why can't God let good people live for a few more years. As she spoke, the old woman recalled all that had happened in the past, until at last she heard Xiao'er's impatient cough, and then she said, "Little doll, how old are you?" Are you practicing with this man like this?"
