Early the next morning, Liu Xiu had breakfast and took Deng Ai out of the house for morning exercises.

Deng Ai read with pebbles in his mouth, and gradually, his stuttering became lighter and lighter, and his speech became more and more fluent. In the morning, he followed Liu Xiuchen to practice, and his health was getting better and better. Although Deng Ai also followed Deng Zhan to learn martial arts, most of the time, he was by Liu Xiu's side, after all, he was Liu Xiu's scholar.

The air in the early morning is the most comfortable.

After Liu Xiu took Deng Ai to exercise in the morning by the river, he took Deng Ai and walked back.

Deng Ai said: "Childe, I want to buy a sword." ”

"Oh, you're only ten years old, do you want to use a sword now?" asked Liu Xiu.

Deng Ai's face was a little shy, and he said: "I practice swords on weekdays, and I use the wooden sword given by my master. But I've been using a wooden sword, but I don't have a real sword, and I always feel that something is missing. ”

Liu Xiu gently stroked Deng Ai's head and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to buy a sword." ”

With Deng Ai, Liu Xiu ran towards the Nancheng Market.

In the southern part of the city, there is a street dedicated to selling swords. This type of sword is different from the swords, guns, halberds and spears that are used to fight on the battlefield. Swords, guns, arrows, etc. are all slaughtered soldiers, and there are almost no shops that sell them.

After all, the weapons used on the battlefield are controlled by the government.

The sword is a gentleman's sword, which is different, it is not a killing weapon, but these shops are also under the supervision of the government.

When the two came to the south of the city, it was already three poles in the sun.

The sun is blazing across the sky.

Liu Xiu took Deng Ai into a shop, and immediately, the shopkeeper walked up, his face was full of kindness, and he said with a smile: "Do you want to buy a sword? On this street, the Lujia Sword Shop is the most famous one, and it is also the one with the longest history. The sword forged by the Lu family can definitely earn you face. ”

Liu Xiu smiled and waved his hand: "Xiao Ai, you can choose for yourself." ”

"Hmm!"

Deng Ai nodded, and chose by himself.

Boss Lu knew that Liu Xiu was the one who paid the money, he was still standing in front of Liu Xiu, waved his finger at the sword hanging in the shop, and said: "Childe, please look, the sword displayed on the weapon rack on the left is collected from all over the place, although it is rusty, but I can't say, that one is used by which prince and nobleman in history, and it will definitely be worth double." ”

"Last year, a swordsman bought a sword, and in his shop, he found a sword of King Goujian. ”

"At the time, there was a huge sensation. ”

Boss Lu waved his hand to the right side again, and continued to introduce: "The weapon rack on the right side displays ordinary swords, which are moderately priced and suitable for ordinary people. ”

"Childe is extravagant, not an ordinary person, and the sword on his body is not simple. ”

"At the very least, the sword you buy must be of the highest grade. ”

"Childe, please look at the weapon rack placed next to the wall in the back, this row of swords is carefully forged by the craftsmen of the Lu family. Among the swords of the Lu family, this is the best-selling. ”

Boss Lu said: "My Lu family's sword-casting skills are inherited from the ancestor Lu Ban, and the sword forged is extraordinary. Once, the ancestor of the family even entered the court as an official and forged weapons for the imperial court. ”

Liu Xiu listened to the introduction and said, "Since Boss Lu is a person who knows the goods, how about looking at my sword?"

Boss Lu said: "Is it really possible?"

In the words, there is excitement and respect.

For him, as long as the guests are comfortable, and then let the guests buy swords, it is a natural thing. Therefore, Liu Xiu asked him to appreciate it, and Boss Lu agreed without thinking about it, anyway, he was happy to praise the comers.

It's not the first time he's encountered such a thing.

Liu Xiu untied the Qingyu Sword, handed it to Boss Lu's hand, and said, "Come, take a look!"

Boss Lu rubbed the hilt of his sword, and the expression in his eyes changed. He has always sold swords, and he is very sensitive to swords, and as soon as he gets his hands on them, he perceives that swords are extraordinary.

Boss Lu took a deep breath and slammed his hand hard.

"Sonorous!"

A voice as crisp as a dragon's groan sounded immediately.

The sound of the blade unsheathed made Boss Lu's face even more solemn.

At this time, he already knew that the sword in his hand was extraordinary. As the sword body was unsheathed, a stream of autumn water-like light flowed through the sword body, and Boss Lu praised it when he saw the color of the sword body.

Suddenly, Boss Lu was stunned.

"Qing Yu!" Boss Lu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "This is Cao Sikong's Qing Yu Sword!"

The seal on the sword body - Qingyu!

Boss Lu is also a knowledgeable person, and then I thought of the news that came out of the market in the past two days, saying that Cao Sikong lost the saber Qingyu Sword to Liu Xiu. In an instant, he understood Liu Xiu's identity.

"It's actually Xiu Gongzi coming, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please forgive Xiu Gongzi. ”

Boss Lu's heart was excited.

The famous Liu Xiu came to the store to buy the sword, and as soon as this matter came out, he could promote it for a while. On this street, the Lu family shop can take this opportunity to overpower other shops.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Boss Lu also cares about the affairs of Xu County. ”

took the Qingyu Sword from Boss Lu's hand and wore it on his waist.

Boss Lu said: "The name of the cultivator is big, and the little one has already heard of it. It's rare for Xiu Gongzi to come here, the sword in the store, Xiu Gongzi chooses at will, and it should be a meeting gift for Xiu Gongzi. ”

Liu Xiu hurriedly excused himself, but Boss Lu insisted on giving it away, and Liu Xiu had to agree.

"Childe, I've made your choice. ”

Deng Ai chose a three-foot-long sword, the style was simple, simple and simple.

Liu Xiu is a master of swordsmanship, and when he saw it, he felt that this sword was in line with Deng Ai's identity, simple and generous, low-key and simple, suitable for the current Deng Ai. Liu Xiu nodded, ready to say goodbye to Boss Lu, but he didn't expect Boss Lu to insist on giving away the sword.

Liu Xiu couldn't refuse, so he carefully selected some of the rusty swords on the left.

Suddenly, Liu Xiu's gaze fell on a broadsword.

This broadsword has a blade of about three inches and six inches wide, a thickness of two inches, and a length of about four feet, and the hilt is even thicker. It's just that the sword is already rusty.

Liu Xiu had the Zhenshan Sword and the Qingyu Sword, and he had no intention of choosing, so he grabbed the rusty sword and said, "Just choose this one." ”

Boss Lu happily agreed and sent Liu Xiu away.

Leaving the store, Liu Xiu took Deng Ai and went to the residence. Back in the house, Deng Ai was busy with his own going, Liu Xiu came to the courtyard, he didn't have the heart to hold the rusty sword anymore, threw it casually, threw the rusty sword out, and then continued to the study.

"Bang dang!"

The crisp sound sounded on the ground, and there was an echo.

This voice made Liu Xiu stop and look back at the rusty sword that fell to the ground.

This rusty sword, Liu Xiu thought it was forged from pure iron, but the sound after landing on the ground was different. If it is forged from fine iron, there is no possibility of an echo after landing.

As soon as Liu Xiu heard this, he noticed something different.

Liu Xiu walked back again, picked up the Rusty Sword, and then popped out his middle finger and hit the Rusty Sword's sword.

"硿!"

A muffled sound echoed through the courtyard.

In Liu Xiu's ears, an echo was heard.

"Is it empty? Is there a mystery in it? ”

A strange look appeared in Liu Xiu's eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he held the rusty sword in his right hand, unsheathed the green sword in his left hand, and carried it with both hands, and then slammed into it.

"Bell!"

The gold and iron struck, and the green sword broke through the body of the rusty sword.

The Qingyu sword was put into the sheath, and Liu Xiu looked at the place where the rusty sword was broken, his eyes were surprised. In the body of the rusty sword, there is another layer. The outermost layer of the sword body is equivalent to a scabbard, or a sword within a sword.

However, the sword in the sword is thinner, but the sword body in the rusty sword is different, it is the length and width of the general sword.

The outermost layer of the sword body should be artificially increased, in order to protect the sword inside.

Liu Xiu held the sword in his hand and slammed it to the ground. As soon as the sword went down, the shell of the rusty sword showed cracks, but it did not break. Liu Xiu swung his sword continuously, and under the continuous impact, the outermost layer of the sword body began to crack, and the hilt and the place where the sword body was stretched off.

The outermost layer of rusty sword, like a scabbard, fell off in its entirety.

Under the sun, the sword body shines brightly.

Liu Xiu looked at it at a glance, and then he felt that this was a complete sword. Holding a sword in hand, it feels even more unusual. Liu Xiu picked up the sword, looked at it carefully, and found that there was a seal on the sword. The moment he saw the seal text, Liu Xiu was stunned.

Seal text - Taiah!

Tai'a Sword, this sword is actually the Tai'a Sword used by the First Emperor
