The next day, early in the morning.

After Han Luo practiced boxing in his courtyard, he took his gun out of the dart game and walked briskly towards the Fang Market in the city. After a while, he saw a shop from a distance, and there was a banner in front of the shop with the word "iron" written on it, which was a blacksmith shop.

Before Han Luo came to the store, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old sturdy boy ran out of the shop, and shouted to Han Luo happily: "Uncle Luo, you are here!"

Seeing the sturdy young man running towards him, a smile also appeared on Han Luo's face, and he said, "It's Xiao Wu." Is your dad in the shop?"

"Yes, yes, yes. The sturdy young man who was called Xiao Wu replied in a loud voice, and hurriedly took Han Luo's hand and led him to the store.

As soon as he stepped into the threshold, Han Luo heard the sound of clanging iron from inside the shop. If you look around, you can see all kinds of iron tools hanging on the walls around the store.

Xiao Wu shouted at the back of the shop: "Dad, Dad! Uncle Luo is here!"

Hearing Xiao Wu's shout, the sound in the shop stopped abruptly, and then, a middle-aged man walked out of the back of the shop.

The man was a little thin, very white, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was obviously wearing a blacksmith's suit with a bare chest and backless, but it made people feel a bookish aura lingering around his body.

"Got it. Can you kid not babble?What do you look like all day long!?" The man first smiled and scolded Xiao Wu, and then beckoned Han Luo to sit down.

"Tut-tut. Han Luo looked the man up and down, with surprise in his eyes, and sighed, "Brother Xiao, you are still so white and tender, just like a wealthy scholar who is pampered on weekdays, does not work hard, and only uses reading to test his fame, where does he look like a blacksmith? ”

Han Luo has known the man surnamed Xiao for almost four years, and he has met countless times, but Rao is like this, Han Luo feels a little strange every time he sees the man surnamed Xiao. Because the man surnamed Xiao is a blacksmith, he works by the oven all the year round, but his skin is white, although his whole body is full of muscles, but he is far from the kind of muscles that ordinary blacksmiths have high bulges, five big and three thick, but his body is a little thin, coupled with the bookish atmosphere around the man's body, it always gives people the illusion that he is a weak scholar.

However, Han Luo knew very well that this was just an illusion after all, and the man surnamed Xiao was definitely not a weak scholar. He still clearly remembers the scene of a man surnamed Xiao lifting a giant tripod weighing 3,000 catties in front of him. That strange power made Han Luo quite jealous. You must know that the average martial artist at the peak of the acquired realm has more than 1,000 catties of strength in his whole body, and Han Luoyin has a glimpse of the half-step innate realm, coupled with his hard physique, he can only break through 1,300 catties. But even so, he is far from the man surnamed Xiao.

Regarding Han Luo's joke, the man surnamed Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "You guy, why do you have to tease me every time you come to me? ”

"Don't mind, I said. Brother Xiao, you can't be like this, we have been friends for so many years, but we can't make trouble because of this little thing. I promise, I won't dare again next time. Hearing the man surnamed Xiao say this, Han Luo suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly stood up and said. He knew that in the entire Lanjin City, and even in the entire Fengtian County, the skills of the man surnamed Xiao in smelting iron and forging were top-notch. If it weren't for the fact that the man surnamed Xiao was quiet by nature and didn't want to be burdened by false fame, so that his reputation would not be obvious, this blacksmith shop would have been stepped on the threshold long ago, and there would be an endless stream of people who came to seek forging.

"Don't come with me, brother, I've known you for almost four years, and I don't know what kind of temperament you kid has? Every time you say something nice, it's because you have something to ask me, and when the matter is resolved, the next time you come back, it's another ridicule. The man surnamed Xiao pursed his lips and said, as if he was very unimpressed by Han Luo's assurance.

"Uh......" Han Luo sneered, and finally didn't have the cheekiness to refute what the man surnamed Xiao said.

Seeing Han Luo standing there very embarrassed, the man surnamed Xiao chuckled and said, "Okay, don't stand there stupidly." Let's talk about something. ”

After speaking, the man surnamed Xiao got up and led Han Luo towards the inside of the shop, leaving Xiao Wu alone to look at the store in front.

............

Inside.

The man surnamed Xiao stood in front of the oven, his face flushed with the flickering firelight, and he said, "Say, what are you looking for me? ”

Hearing this, Han Luo's face turned dark, and he said a little depressedly: "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?

"You did give money. The man surnamed Xiao first nodded, affirming what Han Luo said, and then scolded, "But you bastard, you only pay fifty taels for something that is priced at one hundred taels of silver each time, and the remaining fifty taels don't even have a shadow." That's a full fifty taels!I can't even get back the capital for you to work, how do you tell me and Xiao Wu to make ends meet!?"

Seeing that the man surnamed Xiao was angry, Han Luo hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, don't get angry." Didn't I have enough money before, and you know that I have to spend money to buy materials for cultivation, so this time I'll pay in full. Also, this time the dart game received a large order, and the deposit alone was a million taels of silver. When I finish this dart and get the dividends, I will definitely pay off all the debts I owe before. Brother Xiao, don't be angry. ”

"That's pretty much it. Hearing Han Luo's words, the man surnamed Xiao softened his expression slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "You're going to dart again this time?"

"Hmm. Han Luo nodded.

"It must be dangerous if the reward is so high, right? Be careful. The man surnamed Xiao said softly, and then hurriedly said as if explaining: "Don't get me wrong, I don't care about you, I'm afraid that no one will pay the debt you owe me." ”

Han Luo smiled, without words, but there was a touch of emotion in his eyes. Brother Xiao is such a person, and his love for people never wants to be known by outsiders.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. What are you looking for me to help you with?" asked the man surnamed Xiao.

Hearing the man's question, Han Luo replied, "Brother Xiao, this time, please help me shoot some willow leaf darts, and then sharpen the tip of the gun by the way." Recently, the gun has been practiced too often, and the tip of the gun is a little blunt. ”

"Okay, leave it to me. It will take some effort to fight the willow leaf dart, you will come back tomorrow to get it, and I will help you sharpen the tip of the gun today. If you're not in a hurry, just stay next to it, and it's only a matter of half an hour. After speaking, the man surnamed Xiao took the gun in Han Luo's hand and began to polish the tip of the gun.

Seeing that the man surnamed Xiao started work, Han Luo didn't have anything urgent to leave, and the items used in the dart bureau were handled by the following people, so there was no need for him, the head of the dart, to bother. So, Han Luo wandered around in this relatively spacious workshop.

The workshop inside the shop has the same layout as the shop outside, and the walls are covered with various iron tools on all four sides. However, in terms of style, the iron tools inside are much more exquisite than those outside, obviously a grade higher, and they are all blades.

"Huh, Brother Xiao, what is this?"

Just as Han Luo was looking at the blades on the wall one by one, his eyes inadvertently swept over a corner of the workshop, and he couldn't help but feel a little curious when he saw a lot of iron tools piled up there.

Hearing the question, Brother Xiao's eyelids raised slightly, and after glancing at the pile of iron tools that Han Luo asked, he said nonchalantly, "Oh, you said that." Some of the things in the pile were scrapped iron tools that I had scrapped, and some were scrap items that I had collected from the market. ”

"Ahh Hearing this, Han Luo said with some disappointment.

Brother Xiao sneered and sneered: "You kid is really whimsical. If those were good things, would you brother and I still pile them up like garbage?"

"That's right. But Brother Xiao, since it's a waste product, why are you still piling it up here, isn't it taking up space?"

"There is some use for these scraps. One is that when the iron ore is not enough, it can be melted and reforged, and the other is that it can be used to test the hardness of the blades I cast. Brother Xiao said.

"Oh, that's right. Can I take a look at it?" Han Luo asked.

"Look, if you see something you like, pick two and take them. It's not worth much anyway. Brother Xiao said indifferently.

"Then I'll have to pick and choose, and maybe I'll find a treasure thing. ”

With Brother Xiao's consent, Han Luo came to the pile of iron tools and carefully rummaged through them.

"This one doesn't work, this one is too ugly, and this one doesn't work...... Why are they all!?"

Han Luo rummaged for a moment and found that there were some defective products inside, either the texture was not hard enough, or the appearance was damaged and distorted.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? As I said earlier, this pile of stuff is some scrap, and you still don't believe it. Brother Xiao on the side said with a smile.

"Hey, I don't believe it yet. I can't find a decent good thing!?"

After a long time, Han Luo let out a cheer: "Hey, this thing is good. ”

Brother Xiao followed the prestige and saw that Han Luo was holding an iron feather in his hand, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of surprise.

The feather is black all over, and there is a faint glow circulating on it, which is very delicate, delicate, and beautiful like a work of art. But it was precisely because of this that Brother Xiao felt a little surprised. Because this kind of excellent and outstanding work should not be in the scrap heap.

Putting down the work in his hand, Brother Xiao walked quickly to Han Luo, and after carefully looking at this iron feather, he said, "I didn't build this thing, I should have collected it from the market." But no, how could such a good thing be taken so cheaply? Could it be that the store made a mistake?"

"Whatever the hell, it's mine now, anyway. Brother Xiao, did you say before, if I come across something I like, I pick two and take it, then this thing will belong to me. You won't regret it now, you want it back, right?" Han Luo glanced at Brother Xiao vigilantly.

Hearing this, Brother Xiao scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy." Am I such an untrustworthy person? Since I said that you can pick two of them, I will naturally not regret it. Now, now that you've picked one, you can choose another. ”

"No, this feather is enough. Han Luo is not a person who doesn't know what to do, so he naturally knows that he has to stop in moderation, so he no longer chooses, and asks, "But Brother Xiao, can you help me see, what is this thing for?"

Brother Xiao looked at Ling Yu carefully, and said after a while: "According to my guess, there should be a set of this Ling Yu." It is estimated that it is a kind of weapon, either a dart hidden weapon, or a folding iron fan. After speaking, Brother Xiao went to polish the tip of the gun again.

"Really?" Hearing Brother Xiao's guess, Han Luo nodded, and then cautiously reached out and touched the edge of the iron feather, and said in pain, "Hiss-it hurts, this thing is really sharp." When he raised his hand, he found that his finger had been broken, and blood was oozing out.

Han Luo was secretly surprised, he didn't expect this iron feather to be so sharp. He was already a half-step innate realm, and the muscles and bones of his whole body had been extremely tough, but he was still easily pierced by this feather, which really made Han Luo feel stunned. However, if it is used as a weapon, it is simply invincible, and if it is used well, it can even be severely damaged.

Thinking of this, Han Luo's gaze at Ling Yu suddenly became extremely hot, and he hurriedly asked Brother Xiao for a box, put it in it, and put it in his arms.

"This is a treasure! With this thing, even if the black-robed man who sent the commission this time is really a wanted murderer, I don't need to be so afraid anymore. I didn't expect to come to Brother Xiao this time, and I could pick up such a good thing, it's really worth the trip. Hehe, as long as you are not a top master in the middle and late stages of congenital, from now on, I will not be scared. Han Luo thought to himself.

Just when Han Luo was secretly happy, he didn't notice that the place where the box was placed on his chest was faintly emitting a ghostly light. And inside the box, the blood from Han Luo's finger wound that was stained with the iron feather before, was gradually fading, as if it had been devoured by the feather......
