The unexpectedly prosperous at the foot of the Maple Leaf Temple is not like the ordinary countryside, although it is less rich and noble than the capital, but it has more human feelings, which is heartwarming.

Gold, silver and jade are rare here, but all kinds of homemade jewelry, snacks are everything, and the taste and style are even more unique.

Xiao Han and Luo Dagou walked in the night market excitedly, looking left and right, buying a pass, all as if the money was against themselves, and there were countless large and small objects in their hands after a while, and even the horse under the crotch was bent over.

Luo Dagou held a string of sugar gourds in each hand, and ate the left-handed one for a while, and the right-handed one for a while, and was very happy.

After walking for a while, the two of them paused at the same time and stopped in front of a stall selling jewelry and fat powder.

Xiao Han's eyes lit up, these jewelry didn't look like precious things, but the workmanship was much better than most of the ones he had seen. I was confused for a while, I couldn't see the point, and I looked at it for a long time before I fixed my eyes on a wooden hairpin in the innermost part of the stall.

The wooden hairpin seems to be ordinary, but it is really ingenious, and it is amazing.

The boss who sold the goods looked at Xiao Han Liulian and said with a smile: "I'm afraid this girl is not from other places, but the girl has a vision, and this one is the most exquisite among these objects." ”

Xiao Han narrowed his gaze and asked the boss, "This...... Can you show me? ”

The boss said: "It's easy to say, but the girl has to be careful, this wooden hairpin is not easy to make, don't break it." ”

Xiao Han stretched out his hand to take it and put it in front of him to play carefully, but saw that the front end of the wooden hairpin was inserted with a walnut on it, the wooden hairpin was already small, in order to fix the walnut, six mortise and tenon joints were used at the front end of the wooden hairpin.

Carving six mortise and tenon joints in a square inch of land, the craftsmanship of the person who made this wooden hairpin is not exquisite.

This kind of skill is already rare, and what is even more amazing is the walnut. A walnut is carved hollow, there are three layers inside and outside, each layer is a painting, the painting and the painting reflect each other to form a story, welcome the lamp turn, burst out crisp, it is like a marquee.

Looking inward, there was a bell among the walnuts, the size of half a walnut.

Look at it again, this walnut is actually made of the whole body, there is no semi-split pattern, and I don't know how such a big bell is placed in it.

Although Xiao Han does not go to the rivers and lakes, he has also read a lot of strange things in the book, but the various exquisite playthings recorded in the book are not as ingenious as this wooden hairpin, which shows his first-class skills.

Xiao Han sighed: "It's really a rare hairpin!" ”

The boss still smiled innocently, "The girl knows the goods, this wooden hairpin has been carved out by me for half a year, but I am a beginner and is not good at carving." ”

Xiao Han was taken aback, this kind of skill is still a beginner, so how powerful is the person who taught him this skill?

Her shocked voice changed, and she asked, "Dare to ask, where is this wooden hairpin carved badly, why didn't I see it at all?" ”

The boss stretched out his hand to take the wooden hairpin, held the bell inside with his hand, and asked, "Did you see it?" ”

Xiao Han was blind in both eyes and couldn't see anything.

Seeing that Xiao Han was puzzled, the boss smiled, and blew the walnuts on the wooden hairpin with his mouth, and the walnuts were blown straight by him, with a few hints of noise in his crisp voice.

"It's no wonder that the girl can't see it, but it's hard to tell what she hasn't seen before. Look at this bell, it seems to be round, but it is pitted on the surface, and the bell sound is not brittle, so it is only a third-class process. ”

"This—is this a third-class craft? And what about the second-class and first-class ones? ”

The boss had no intention of showing off, but seeing that beauties like Xiao Han were so interested in their craft, he was also interested, and said: "The second-class bell is crisp like a birdsong, the surface is round and smooth, and the inside is also like a mirror." The first-class is based on the second-class, and a sound box is cast inside, and the wind blows the self-generated music. But I have never seen such skills, but I have only heard Master mention them. ”

Xiao Han took the wooden hairpin from the boss's hand, couldn't put it down, looked at it carefully, and didn't want to separate for a moment, but he saw that this wooden hairpin was exquisite and should be worth a lot of money, thought about it left and right for a while, and asked: "Boss, I want this wooden hairpin, how much is it?" ”

The boss smiled, shook his head and said: "The monks on the mountain often say that it is difficult to find a soulmate, and the girl likes this wooden hairpin so much, I will give it to you." ”

Xiao Han shook his head again and again after hearing this, and said resolutely: "How can this work?" You have worked hard for half a year, and the process of making wooden hairpins alone can be exchanged for more than ten or twenty taels of gold in the capital. ”

Xiao Han didn't have so much money in her life, she just said nonsense, in her eyes, ten or twenty taels of gold was the most generous hand she could think of, and she didn't dare to think about it any more.

The boss waved his hand, "I really don't need to, this wood is from the Maple Leaf Temple, and the walnuts are also given by the masters in the Maple Leaf Temple, and even this skill is taught by them." It's all other people's things, it's rare that you like it so much, and you can still see a little way, isn't it a little bad for me to make money? The girl holds it with peace of mind, a good horse with a good saddle, as beautiful as the girl was born, and it is a blessing for the wood hairpin to bring me this wooden hairpin. ”

Xiao Han thoughtfully held the wooden hairpin, looking at that expression, he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart.

Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, these days he has followed Li Guxing to the rivers and lakes, and he has become so cautious.

The relationship between Li Guxing and the Maple Leaf Temple is so tense, and the monks of the Maple Leaf Temple have such great ability, and even such exquisite skills can be taught at will.

The boss saw that Xiao Han instantly restrained his smile, and thought that he had upset her, so he asked softly, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Han ignored the boss, put the wooden hairpin down gently, pulled Luo Dagou and said, "Big dog, let's go." ”

Luo Dagou didn't realize it, Xiao Han didn't drag him under a tug, but when he saw him holding a box of fat powder dementia and sniffing it in a daze, he enjoyed it very much.

Xiao Han said coldly: "Big dog, what are you doing watching these things, a male baby?" ”

When Luo Dagou heard this, he retracted his hand as if he had been struck by lightning, and said embarrassedly: "No, nothing, it's just a good fragrance, smell it more." ”

Xiao Han glanced at him, and said angrily: "Boys still practice martial arts more, Lao Li and Xiao Zamao's kung fu are good, it's okay to learn from them." ”

Luo Dagou was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, "I'...... I don't. ”

The boss didn't have the eyesight to talk, and he didn't know why Xiao Han's expression suddenly turned cold, and he wanted to take advantage of this to raise his interest, and said: "The masters of the Maple Leaf Temple on the mountain are very good at kung fu, if you want to learn kung fu, go to the Maple Leaf Temple to learn, those masters are good, it won't cost you half a penny." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Han was so angry that his eyes rolled up, and he rolled his eyes so much.

He has always been the kind of person who can't afford to lose, and when his temper comes, he vents immediately, and he cares about anything else. But seeing that she used her internal force to perform the kung fu of the White Evil Guanyin, a ghostly face flashed out from behind her, and went straight to the boss, and the scared boss screamed "wow".

The originally lively night market was suddenly turned into a pot of porridge by Xiao Han's trouble, most of the people who came out to set up stalls were neighbors, and they usually looked up and didn't look down, the boss has always been known for being bold, but for some reason he was scared like this, leaning against the wall in fright, talking nonsense.

Xiao Han jumped on the horse with Luo Dagou and galloped out, without looking back.

Li Guxing and Zhao Wuqian looked at them, with a helpless face, Xiao Han has lived in the tomb for a long time, and it is not the same as the world, Luo Dagou looks like he has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he somehow can make Xiao Han mess up and show such terrifying kung fu at the foot of the mountain.

Zhao Wuqian said: "Xiao Meiren is angry, let's follow?" ”

Li Guxing looked at the crowd in front of him, like a group of ants on a hot pot, spreading his hands, "Let's ride a horse, how can we follow?" ”

Zhao Wuqian smiled awkwardly, "That's true, but I have a way." ”

"Then please give me advice!" Li Guxing smiled evilly and watched Zhao Wuqian perform.

Zhao Wuqian's expression suddenly became solemn, and his strength was in the palm of his hand, and with one palm, the strong wind was howling, and he forced the crowded crowd in front of him to find a way, and it was the Kunlun Sect's Hundred Flower Palms that he used.

Li Guxing applauded: "Daochang Zhao is really powerful. ”

But Zhao Wuqian wanted to make way, not to hurt people, and the palm wind forced out a zhang to disappear, so he had to walk and palm, and when the crowd came out, he was already tired, and fell on the back of the horse panting.

Li Guxing laughed and said, "Daochang Zhao, your physical strength is not good." In the future, if you want to return to the vulgar one day, you are not afraid that your daughter-in-law will run away with someone. ”

"Bah, what else can you think of, teach Luo Dagou to beat people down three ways, I have heard, the great ancestor of the Fuwei Dart Bureau was cut off before he died, and you didn't teach it?"

Li Guxing spread his hands, "Children should always have some physical skills, or they will not be bullied to death by a Taoist priest like you." ”

"I bullied him?? I bullied him?! Hehe, Li Guxing, are you joking!! ”

Li Guxing smiled, didn't give Zhao Wuqian a chance, and rode his horse straight to Xiao Han's side.

The four of them met, and Xiao Han said cautiously: "Guess what I just saw in the night market?" ”

Luo Dagou's heart was nervous, and his face became unnatural, but he didn't make a sound and listened quietly.

Xiao Han told Li Guxing and Zhao Wuqian about the wooden hairpin carved by the owner of the stall, which caused the two of them to be surprised.

Zhao Wuqian scratched his head and said: "This is not easy to do, it seems that the monks of Maple Leaf Temple are much stronger than we imagined." ”

Li Guxing settled down, don't be afraid, you will find out tonight.

Xiao Han exclaimed, "You're going up the mountain now?" ”

Li Guxing said: "You and Xiao Zamao are waiting for my news, I see that there is an inn not far in front of me, if I don't come back early tomorrow morning, you will go to the Maple Leaf Temple to ask for someone." ”

Zhao Wuqian handed him the sword, "The mountain-moving sword must be supplemented by the internal strength of the Pure Dao in order to be presentable, and you must go up the mountain to be dominated by the Hundred Flower Palm, and it is expected that your identity will not be leaked." ”

Li Guxing nodded, picked up the long sword, and went straight up the mountain.

He was in charge of the small road uphill, and carried out light work, all the way lightly, without any hindrance, and ran to the halfway point of the mountain in less than half an hour, but he felt that the breeze was blowing, and it was very uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the root of his ears moved, but he felt a sound behind him, and the sound of footsteps started, and he immediately stopped, motionless.

About half a pillar of incense, looking through the moonlight, I saw a monk patrolling with a long stick in his hand, and his heart was beating in fright.

"Who is it??"

The monk asked, his voice small but full of confidence.

Li Guxing didn't answer, and shrank and shrank in the shadows, for fear of being seen by him.

The monk didn't listen to anyone and continued to walk, getting closer and closer to Li Guxing.

So if you don't die, Li Guxing was nervous, and made a noise, which alerted the monk, and asked again, "Who is there?!! ”

"It's me!"

At the critical moment, another monk ran out not far from Li Guxing with his pants and said with a smile: "It's time to change people, and I pulled in a hurry." ”

"It's you, the new here, I'm going to sleep, be smart, Master said that Li Guxing is coming, but you have to be careful."

Another monk said, "Okay, don't worry, senior brother, I will be on duty well." ”
